By the time a group of leaders in Zhongshan suits arrived at the gate, the old man at the gate was already jumping up and down in anger.
Why are these people just like blockheads? No matter how you explain it, they won’t understand!
Didn't you see that more and more people were gathering around? If you didn't know, you would think that the county government was bullying people by relying on its power.
Director Qian pushed his glasses and winked at Xiaozhuang beside him.
Xiaozhuang hurriedly ran to the gate with a smile on his face, trying to help up the old woman in front.
"Auntie, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, let's stand up and talk it out."
But Aunt Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, did not move at all. She just prostrated herself on the ground with her hands and shouted loudly: "Please, county leaders, save our Dayu Village."
The women and children behind her all followed her example and knelt on the ground.
Many people in the crowd were whispering, "Dayu Village? It sounds familiar!"
"That's right, I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before."
"I remember now! Some time ago, the group of robbers who intercepted the grain truck were from Dayu Village! They were even paraded through the streets!"
After someone said this, many people had an impression.
As soon as Xiaozhuang heard the three words "Dayu Village", he cried out in his heart, "Oh no!"
The smile on his face was no longer there, and he looked at Director Qian with some sorrow!
Director Qian was also feeling bitter. He originally thought it was a hot potato, but it turned out to be more pressing than expected.
He sighed imperceptibly, walked forward quickly, and said to everyone: "The previous matter has been handed over to the police. All the results are decided by the police. We have no way to interfere!"
His words made many of the kneeling people change their expressions slightly. The common people who came from poor backgrounds had a natural fear and awe of the soldiers and police.
Suddenly, a boy of about ten years old crawled up from the ground. His eyes were red, and he must have cried many times before.
"Our team leader held a meeting and said that you cadres are here to serve the people.
Why can't your county government make the decision for us?
My father and his men went to collect food because the family really couldn't make ends meet. Many people in the village ate tree bark and tightened their belts to go to work.
Can't you leaders see these things?
If you have enough to eat, who would want to risk being shot to rob a car?"
After he said that, he started to sob.
Lu Zhiye's eyes deepened slightly. These words didn't sound like something a ten-year-old child could say.
I guess it was taught by the educated youth who went to the countryside.
The boy's words caused many onlookers to whisper among themselves, which was equivalent to publicly questioning their inaction.
Director Qian looked very unhappy, and he was even more annoyed with the commune of Dayu Village. Why didn't they report the situation earlier, which led to this situation.
He raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet: "I can understand everyone's feelings, how about this, you all get up first and go sit in the county government.
We need to hold a meeting with the county public security bureau to discuss what to do specifically. "
There was a tone of unquestionableness in his voice. After all, he had been an official for many years. The slight display of his authority made many of the people below soften their stance.
Aunt Zhao, however, knelt there motionless as a mountain.
Xiaozhuang tried to pull her away and said, "Auntie, this matter cannot be decided by our leader with just a few words.
You should get up first, otherwise it will be bad for everyone if things get out of hand.
If the leader gets angry and doesn’t allow us to do it, where can we go to cry?”
His words made Aunt Zhao hesitate slightly, and she also stood up with his strength.
After all the women and children had entered the county government, Xiaozhuang ran to the car and knocked on the window.
"Leader, please come in as well."
Several militiamen looked at each other, and Lu Zhiye motioned them to go in first. He got out of the car and leaned against the side of the car alone: "We have another person, I'll wait for him!"
Xiaozhuang looked at the man in front of him who exuded a fierce aura, shrank his neck in fear, said a few words to the old man at the door, and left.
The old man looked around at Lu Zhiye, then pointed a big stick at the crowd and said, "Go do what you need to do, why are you all standing here?"
The crowd dispersed, but the news had spread throughout the county.
Almost an hour passed before Fang Shijie came back. Lu Zhiye was sitting in the guard room holding a piece of dried meat and chewing it carefully with the two old men.
Every time the old man eats a bite of meat, he has to pick his teeth for a long time, but he still enjoys it.
Lu Zhiye patted his clothes and said to the old man with a smile: "Uncle, I'll go in first, someone is coming."
The old man looked as if he understood and waved his hand.
Lu Zhiye walked out of the door, took the meal from Fang Shijie's hand, put it in the guard room and asked the old man to help watch it, then took him to the county government yard.
Fang Shijie had a solemn expression on his face. He looked at Lu Zhiye who was strolling beside him and didn't know how to start the conversation.
But he alone could not bring this matter to the attention of higher-ups.
Lu Zhiye said calmly, "What's the matter? Just tell me."
Fang Shijie pulled him to an empty corner and said in a low voice, "I was in the army before, and my family has some connections.
I thought this matter was related to the Northwest Military Region, so I made a phone call.
My family called the leader of our city.
It just so happened that the provincial leaders were inspecting the next county, and the matter could not be solved by the junior cadres. Someone from above had to show up.
I am afraid that they will use tough measures to solve the problem.
The provincial leaders are rushing here, we have to delay as much as possible."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the leaders above also wanted to get in touch with the people more clearly, so they did not call us.
Lu Zhiye sighed in his heart: Wow, it seems that Fang Shijie's family is a high-ranking official! He can actually connect directly with the city's leaders.
He nodded gently: "Okay. It depends on how you perform then."
Fang Shijie: ………
You agreed so readily, but I still have to perform in the end?
When the two arrived at the hall, they found out that no one had come since the county government staff led them here.
Quite a few people have already started to get restless and make a lot of noise.
Fang Shijie became furious when he saw this situation. The education he received since childhood prevented him from turning a blind eye to the people.
But this group of cadres just left people here and did not solve the problem, which is really hateful.
He found where the government officials were working and broke in.
Lu Zhiye followed closely behind him, and pushed him a few times when he encountered obstacles.
"Let your leaders come out! We are here to solve the problem, why are you avoiding us?"
Xiaozhuang ran upstairs with a sad face, and Director Qian's hand holding the teacup shook violently a few times.
I originally thought that they were just a group of women and children, and the men would just be watching from the sidelines and would probably not interfere in this matter.
Who would have thought that there was a young man here!
