After hearing Qin Qingman's suggestion, Zheng Anguo and Zhou Jingguo immediately realized that they were thinking left. They had always thought that many people would speak out against them, but the movement was from top to bottom, and change could not be achieved by speaking out against them in the commune.
What these people are eager to change at this time is their current living conditions and survival.
Only when you survive can you think about other things.
"Comrade Qin, you are very smart. I look forward to working with you in the future." For the first time, Zhou Jingguo took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with Qin Qingman, which also meant that he formally recognized Qin Qingman's ability.
It is hard to say whether it will be targeted in the future, but I will no longer think of replacing Qin Qingman with my own people.
Zhou Jingguo saw that Qin Qingman was smart and capable. It was not easy to deal with such a person. If he failed to deal with him well, he might be the one who suffered. Now that things had come to this, no one could take away the credit that belonged to Qin Qingman, so he would not worry about it.
"Comrade Zhou, I will definitely learn from you in the future."
Qin Qingman gave Zhou Jingguo enough face.
"Learn from each other, learn from each other." Zhou Jingguo was a little hesitant in front of Qin Qingman, because just now, he suddenly realized that he must have suffered a loss from Qin Qingman before.
And his previous underestimation of Qin Qingman's age was also the root cause of his loss.
"We have already discussed the rules, so let's implement them immediately. However, this is not a commune, so it is a bit inconvenient for us to deploy staff." Zhou Jingguo felt a little embarrassed when he saw so many people in the cafeteria.
I feel like I don't have anyone I can use.
Qin Qingman understood what Zhou Jingguo meant, and lowered her head to say a few words to Zheng Anguo, and then Zheng Anguo said: "Comrade Jingguo, we in Kaoshantun only maintain order, and others will not participate. You can find someone in the farm who can help you."
Zhou Jingguo nodded with satisfaction, "Then I will look for Comrade Liu Hechang. He is the chairman of the farm's labor union and is familiar with all the farm employees. It should be convenient for him to come forward and do the work for the employees."
"Okay, but it's a bit inappropriate to choose only one person. So, I'll choose one person too."
Zheng Anguo also had his own plans.
"Who do you choose?" Zhou Jingguo felt nervous, worried that Zheng Anguo was setting a trap for him.
"I choose Comrade Zhou Bangguo. Comrade Zhou Bangguo is the deputy director of the farm. After the director got into trouble, he became the most capable person in the farm." Zheng Anguo said the candidate he had long favored.
When Zhou Jingguo heard Zhou Bangguo's name, he was silent for a few seconds and then nodded.
A person with a questionable identity background is not afraid of any tricks the other party may use.
Zheng Anguo and Zhou Jingguo reached an agreement, and Zhou Bangguo and Liu Hechang immediately implemented the central idea of the criticism meeting according to their opinions. By the time the commune president Fang Mingjie and the commune militia leader Jiang Yuankui arrived, Zheng Xuesong had almost finished collecting testimonies.
"Comrade Mingjie, Comrade Yuankui."
Zheng Anguo and Zhou Jingguo greeted the two together, while Qian Xiangyang was standing next to Fang Mingjie.
"Comrade Anguo, Comrade Jingguo, what's going on? How could there be a mass incident of surrounding and obstructing the police? This is no small matter. No one was injured, right?" Fang Mingjie asked about the situation right after shaking hands with Zheng Anguo and Zhou Jingguo.
He was on duty at the commune today, and was so shocked when he received the news from Qian Xiangyang that he broke out in a cold sweat.
I was feeling uneasy all the way here, and I was relieved when I arrived at the farm gate and didn't see any terrible situation.
But he still doesn't know the cause and effect of the incident, so of course he needs to understand it before handling it.
Zheng Xuesong had just finished recording the testimony of the last witness, and then he made way for Fang Mingjie to take a seat, and the witness Qin Qingman recounted the entire situation from beginning to end.
The whole process was narrated in the most concise words, from Wu Weimin's unprovoked provocation, to the arrival of the fake police, to the fact that the fake police were desperate and killed people, to Zheng Xuesong and other real police receiving the report and coming to investigate the scene, to the Wu family obstructing the police from handling the case and besieging and threatening the police, and finally to Comrade Zheng Anguo leading the villagers of Kaoshantun to assist the police in subduing the Wu family.
Qin Qingman's narration was straightforward and without any personal colour.
This allows people to understand more intuitively what happened.
Who is right and who is wrong.
After listening to Qin Qingman's story, Fang Mingjie asked, "Are you Comrade Qin Qingman?"
"Yes, Comrade Fang, I am Qin Qingman." Qin Qingman admitted her identity openly.
"She's a good comrade." Qin Qingman's account of the incident just now left a deep impression on Fang Mingjie. At the same time, he also keenly saw Qin Qingman's ability. She has a good heart and ability, which is exactly what their commune needs.
"Thank you Comrade Fang for the compliment."
Qin Qingman accepted the compliment without hesitation.
Fang Mingjie glanced at Qin Qingman approvingly, and then said to Zheng Anguo and the others, "According to the procedure, we will vote on Comrade Anguo and Comrade Jingguo's treatment of the Wu family. If it is passed unanimously, then we will immediately start publicly criticizing the Wu family."
"Yes, Comrade Mingjie."
Everyone looked at Fang Mingjie and nodded seriously.
The disposal decision was signed jointly by Zheng Anguo and Zhou Jingguo, which means that the two of them bear the same responsibility.
The first to raise his hand was Zheng Anguo, followed by Zhou Jingguo.
Qian Xiangyang glanced at Zheng Anguo and raised his hand in agreement. Jiang Yuankui also glanced at Zhou Jingguo before raising his hand. Qin Qingman immediately understood from the looks of Qian Xiangyang and Jiang Yuankui who these two people shared the same stance with.
"It seems that all comrades agree with this measure. I agree too. Let's start immediately."
Fang Mingjie was the last one to raise his hand.
Five of the nine positions in the commune now have the votes in favor, which means that with half of the votes, the resolution can be implemented even if the others are absent.
Although the cafeteria is large, it was already crowded because there were so many people standing.
There was still a steady stream of farm workers outside who rushed in after hearing the news. In just ten minutes, the cafeteria was full of people. Even though these people who came later could not enter the cafeteria and could not hear the sounds inside, no one left.
Everyone is waiting, waiting for the final outcome of the Wu family.
"Comrade Fang Mingjie, more people have come to the cafeteria. We can't persuade them to leave. It's too cold outside. Among them are elderly people and children. What should we do?" Zhou Bangguo and Liu Hechang came to ask for instructions together.
"Is there a bigger chamber?"
Fang Mingjie was in a dilemma.
"Comrade Mingjie, there are no more. Even if we did, we can't accommodate the people who will come later. There are more than 4,000 people on our farm. No matter how big the meeting hall is, it can't accommodate them all, not to mention that we can't burn so much coal." Zhou Bangguo still knew the specific situation of the farm.
"Then let's make a quick decision. Don't delay. Let's all go out and hold this ideological meeting outside. The comrades outside are feeling the cold. We should do the same as them."
Fang Mingjie made a decision instantly.
"Yes, Comrade Mingjie." Zheng Anguo waved his hand, and the villagers of Kaoshantun immediately carried all the Wu family members out.
Wu Yuanming, Jin Yuanchao and Quan Aiguo, who pretended to be police officers, were also escorted out by Li Hongyi and several real police officers.
The appearance of Zheng Xuesong and others in police uniforms was more effective than the president Fang Mingjie.
Because many people don’t know Fang Mingjie, but they know what the clothes worn by Zheng Xuesong and other police officers represent.
The crowd looked quietly at the police officers and Wu Yuanming and the other two who were being escorted by the police officers.
"Comrades, I am Fang Mingjie, the commune director. The county public security bureau is responsible for investigating the fake police and Wu Yuanming's crimes. Our commune does not have the power to judge. What we are investigating today is the incident of a group of people from the Wu family who broke the law and surrounded the police. Now I declare that the criticism of the Wu family has officially begun. Anyone who has been bullied by the Wu family can speak out freely."
Fang Mingjie expressed the attitude on behalf of the commune.
At the same time, there were also requests, "Comrades, time is limited, the weather is too cold, and each case can only be mentioned once and cannot be repeated. But don't worry, you can submit your cases of persecution by the Wu family to the commune after today. Our commune will accept them and will deal with and dispose of these Wu people based on the materials you provide."
"Comrades, please feel free to speak out. Everything will be decided by the commune president, Comrade Fang Mingjie." Zhou Jingguo also stood up to express his position, and at the same time informed everyone that he would not find fault or retaliate.
People who already knew what to say immediately jumped out to criticize the Wu family.
As soon as one person finished speaking, another person stood up. Each of them only talked about how they had been bullied by the Wu family. There was no politics or party involvement. There was only their own suffering and difficulties.
It was completely in line with Qin Qingman and the others' previous predictions.
At the same time, the method of presenting a case only once in public also greatly reduced the time taken up by repeated cases. In less than half an hour, when everyone's legs and feet were numb from standing, the criticism meeting was over.
During this period, because many cases caused resonance, countless snowballs hit the Wu family.
If they had not been stopped by the people of Kaoshantun, the Wu family would not only have been beaten black and blue, but might even have had their heads broken and bloodied.
In the crowd, the Wan family was also trembling with fear. When they were taking advantage of the power of others, they often bullied the people around them just like the Wu family did. Now that their backer has fallen, if they don't keep a low profile, they might really end up like the Wu family.
The Wan family looked around in horror and then sneaked away.
If they didn't leave now, they were worried that the excited crowd would remember their inhumanity and punish them.
After a round of passionate and angry criticism, it was getting dark.
Fang Mingjie immediately announced, "Since the Wu family has committed too many organizational and disciplinary mistakes, they will be guarded by the farm's organizational staff today. Tomorrow, Comrade Jiang Yuankui, the head of the commune militia, will lead the militia to send the Wu family members who have made mistakes to the labor reform farm for ideological re-education."
"President, President, I was wrong. Please give me a chance to make amends."
Fang Mingjie's announcement can be said to have determined the future fate of the Wu family. Although the labor reform farm also has the word "farm" in its name, its nature is completely different. People who enter the labor reform farm have no personal freedom.
Not only is freedom restricted, but the treatment is also worlds apart.
"President, Comrade President, please have mercy on us and let us go. We really know we are wrong. We didn't really want to hinder the police from enforcing the law. It was Wu Rong who forced us to go. He forced us to go."
Countless members of the Wu family cried bitterly and regretted.
Qin Qingman watched these people perform quietly, and then asked, "When you made mistakes and bullied others, was it Wu Yuanming and his family who forced you to do it? When you gained benefits and advantages, was it also others who forced you to do it?"
The repentance that was so lively just now suddenly disappeared.
You have to walk your own path. It is useless to blame anyone else when something goes wrong. You have to bear the consequences of your own actions.
"Comrade Jiang Yuankui, you stay here and lead the farm staff to monitor the Wu family. I will go back and follow the procedures immediately. At dawn tomorrow, I will send comrades with militia to assist you in taking the offenders from the Wu family to the labor reform farm." Fang Mingjie instructed Jiang Yuankui, the captain of the commune militia.
They came in a hurry today and were unable to gather the militia.
"Comrade Mingjie, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on all the Wu family members who have made mistakes." Jiang Yuankui solemnly assured Fang Mingjie.
"Comrade Yuankui, thank you for your hard work."
Fang Mingjie shakes hands with Jiang Yuankui.
"Comrade Fang Mingjie, these are the materials we submitted for the criticism meeting. We have all signed them and they are in compliance with the procedures. Now I am handing them over to you for your filing." Zheng Xuesong handed a signed document to Fang Mingjie.
"Comrade Xuesong, thank you for your hard work." Fang Mingjie shook hands with Zheng Xuesong.
"Comrade Mingjie, it's getting late, and we still have criminals here who need to be escorted back for trial." When Zheng Xuesong said this, he glanced at Jin Yuanchao and Quan Aiguo. The clothes and hats these two men wore were very similar to theirs, and these were all evidence of their crimes.
"Comrade Xuesong, do you need an escort?"
Fang Mingjie looked at the three criminals, and then looked at the public security team which consisted of only four people including Zheng Xuesong.
Zheng Xuesong was a little hesitant.
They drove a jeep and originally planned to use the farm's tractor for escort. However, it was too late now and the tractor would not be back until around 8 or 9 in the evening after going to the county town. He was worried about driving in the snow so late at night.
Without borrowing a farm tractor, their jeep wouldn't have been able to fit seven people, not to mention a dead body.
This is a bit difficult.
Please ask the comrades from the commune for help. Fang Mingjie and his companions all came on bicycles and cannot help with the escort.
"drop--"
Just then, a loud horn sounded, and then people saw a jeep speeding towards them.
“It’s my brother-in-law!”
Chuchu sat in Bao Shengli's arms and shouted excitedly.
Qin Qingman looked over immediately. The jeep was quite far away, and with her 5.2-inch vision she couldn't see the driver clearly. "How do you know it's A Ling?" She suspected that Chu Chu was just shouting nonsense.
"I recognize my brother-in-law's car. This is my brother-in-law's car."
Chuchu looked confident.
Qin Qingman: ...The child is too confident, she is a little embarrassed.
It turned out that the child's sixth sense was very accurate. As the jeep approached, Qin Qingman saw the person in the driver's seat clearly.
Not only did she see Wei Ling's face clearly, she also saw Wei Ling's expression clearly.
It’s cold, colder than the snow outside.
Qin Qingman knew that Wei Ling was angry, and very angry.
"Qingman." The jeep drove smoothly all the way to Qin Qingman and stopped in front of her. Then Wei Ling got out of the car with a chilling aura and hugged Qin Qingman.
He hugged her so tightly, so tightly that he wanted to rub Qin Qingman into his own flesh and blood.
When Wei Ling received the news that Qin Qingman was in danger at the Red Flag Farm at the division headquarters, he immediately asked the division commander to bring troops to the scene.
The jeep was able to drive faster and entered the farm a minute earlier than the truck.
Wei Ling had just held Qin Qingman for less than a minute when several trucks drove into the farm one after another. As soon as the trucks stopped, fully armed soldiers jumped out of the trucks, each with a gun in his hand.
Fang Mingjie and everyone on the farm were shocked.
"Ah...A Ling." Qin Qingman came back to her senses after seeing so many soldiers. She quickly whispered a reminder in Wei Ling's ear.
"Um."
Wei Ling let go of Qin Qingman and turned around to face everyone with a natural expression.
"I am Wei Ling, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the XXX Division. I am here on the orders of my superiors to escort the prisoners Jin Yuanchao and Quan Aiguo." Wei Ling had met Fang Mingjie and Zheng Xuesong before, and saluted them both. At this time, this salute did not represent the salute of a subordinate meeting a superior, but a normal basic etiquette.
"Hello, Comrade Wei Ling, do you have any documents?"
Zheng Xuesong returned the greeting to Wei Ling. He was a retired soldier and had a natural affinity for the army. He also knew the procedures.
"have."
Wei Ling waved to Xiao Shi who had just got off the car holding a folder.
Xiaoshi trotted over, took out a document from his file bag and handed it to Zheng Xuesong.
Zheng Xuesong carefully checked the seal on it before reading the content. After seeing the content clearly, he immediately returned the document to Wei Ling and said to Li Hongyi, who was escorting Jin Yuanchao and several others, "Hand over the prisoner to Comrade Wei Ling."
"yes."
Zheng Xuesong was the captain, and Li Hongyi and several police officers obeyed him unconditionally.
At the same time, I also knew that I couldn't interfere. Since the criminal was related to the military, it was confidential.
"Comrade Fang Mingjie, all relatives of the Wu family need to be escorted to the labor camp and kept under custody. They are now under our care." After Wei Ling said this to Fang Mingjie, he took another document handed to him by Xiao Shi and handed it to Fang Mingjie.
After reading the document, Fang Mingjie immediately nodded in agreement.
"Ma Wu, take people to put all the members of the Wu family on the truck, and then take people to search the homes of all the members of the Wu family." Wei Ling gave the order directly.
"Yes, Captain."
Ma Wu immediately led his soldiers to put all the Wu family members who had covered their heads and turned their heads onto the truck, and at the same time he personally led people to search the homes of these Wu family members.
The Wu family has many members and many homes, so it is impossible to complete the inventory in a short time.
"Comrade Wei Ling, do you think we can leave first?" Zheng Xuesong handed over the prisoners and there was no need to escort any more prisoners. The car was big enough for four people, even if there were more bodies.
"Comrade Xuesong, thank you for your hard work."
Wei Ling shook hands with Zheng Xuesong and thanked him for protecting Qin Qingman.
“That’s where the responsibility lies.”
Zheng Xuesong exchanged a few polite words with Wei Ling, then led his team members and Wu Weimin's body into the car and left.
Now that the police had left, there was no need for Fang Mingjie and the others to stay.
They also said goodbye to Wei Ling one after another.
Wei Ling shook hands with Fang Mingjie and others and saw them off.
Finally, it was Qin Qingman and the people from Kaoshantun. Zheng Anguo patted Wei Ling on the shoulder and said to Qin Qingman, "We'll wait for you at the door." Wei Ling came here to do business and he certainly couldn't send Qin Qingman back, so in the end, Qin Qingman and her brother would definitely go home with the large group from Kaoshantun.
"Secretary Zheng, thank you."
In addition to thanking Zheng Anguo for maintaining Qin Qingman's friendship, Wei Ling also thanked him for the letter he sent, which allowed the division to capture the person who had been hiding.
"Don't call me secretary. Call me uncle like Qingman did."
Zheng Anguo smiled and glared at Wei Ling.
"Uncle." Wei Ling called Zheng Anguo uncle sincerely.
The fact that a deputy secretary of a commune could fight for an ordinary villager is a testament to Zheng Anguo's character.
Zheng Anguo looked at Wei Ling with a satisfied smile, then led the people from Kaoshantun towards the farm gate.
"Wife, go home and rest early. I'll be home after I finish my work."
Wei Ling had thousands of words to say to Qin Qingman, but in the end, it only came down to this one sentence.
"Yeah." Qin Qingman looked at Wei Ling with endless tenderness in her eyes.
"Brother-in-law." Chuchu leaned over to him.
Wei Ling looked at the pain on Chu Chu's face and touched it with pity, praising her: "Brother-in-law is proud of you."
The child immediately burst into laughter.
