Chapter Twenty-Three: Secretary Bai
After saying the matter of this camphor tree, everyone was angry, and they were also very grateful to Su Su who saved Luo Chengli, and after the middle-aged man invited Su Su to the house, he explained to himself: "Reporter Su, hello, I am the village chief of this Dacao Village, Luo Chenggong, and the eldest brother of the establishment, I really want to thank you for the establishment." ”
"Where, as it should be. Su Su smiled faintly and said: "Village Chief Luo, I have heard a lot of things here along the way, but I still want to come and see for myself, the old leader attaches great importance to the truth, with these materials, I can react with the old leader, and you may have to come forward yourself in this matter." ”
"Reporter Su, what is the origin of that old leader?" Luo Chenggong cautiously asked, the demolition is now inseparable, the character of the people in the village is hot, even he, the leader elected by everyone, can't hold back, that day the demolition ruffians took sticks into the village, the first to take the lead is he Luo Chenggong, and then those incendiary bombs, gas canisters have his share, although everyone said to fight to the end, but when is it a bottom even he himself does not understand, the arm can not twist the thigh This simple truth he does not understand, really to that day, not to mention the kitchen knife Molotov cocktail, that is, everyone uses a soil gun, and it is not the opponent of these hooligansThese days, he has inquired about the demolition and relocation elsewhere, there are crowds of people everywhere, and when he moves, the big village of five or six hundred people can't stop it, although he doesn't understand why this Li Dexing has always been blocked outside by these dozens of people, but what he knows is that sooner or later, here, will be razed to ruins, and this reporter is one of the few opportunities in this big grass village, but even so, he still wants to be careful, and he always has to find out the details of the old leader.
"The old leader's surname is Jiang, and he is a figure in the central government and a native of Jiangxi. Su Su smiled, took out a copy of the People's Daily from his bag, opened it, pointed to a report, and said, "Village Chief Luo, look, I wrote this report." ”
"Jiang Chengze, Vice Minister of the Central Ministry of Construction!" just glanced at it, Luo Chenggong exclaimed, he never thought that this old leader would have such a big background, and he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"This time I came with the old leader, it was this white secretary. Su Su smiled, pointed to a photo in the newspaper and said: "The old leader is here to do private business this time, and he didn't notify the local cadres, I can be regarded as taking the light of Secretary Bai, so I followed over to do an interview, if I want to be in Beijing, then I can't find any opportunity, the old leader is very upright, if this matter is known to him, I think he will definitely take care of it." ”
"What does Reporter Su mean to let us go to this old leader?" Luo Chenggong glanced at Su Su, who was standing next to Secretary Bai in the photo, and asked expectantly.
"I know the old leader, but only because of the work, we only met twice, if I rashly say this, I don't know what the old leader's reaction is, I want to find Secretary Bai first, after all, Secretary Bai has been with the old leader for several years, and the temper of the old leader is the most familiar, Secretary Bai and I have a very good relationship, and I will come forward to ask him to help with this must not be a big problem. Su Su paused and said, "If Secretary Bai can come forward to solve this matter, it would be the best, if not, maybe we have to think of other ways." ”
"Can reporter Su help arrange for us to meet?" Luo Chenggong looked at Su Su and said with some urgency: "Now everyone in the village is uneasy, I'm afraid it won't last long, and this matter can't be delayed any longer." ”
"It's okay, I'll call him now. Su Su took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, walked to the side, and after a while, he told the person on the other side of the phone what happened, and after a while, he walked up to Luo Chenggong with a happy face and said: "Village Chief Luo, Secretary Bai said to let us go over now, he happened to be free in the afternoon, and said that you should bring all the materials, he will take a look first." ”
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Luo Chenggong was overjoyed, turned around and called Luo Chengli to come, first arranged the defense of the village, and then followed Su Su on the boat, and drove all the way to Zhangshu.
The two ran all the way, and finally arrived at the café on the second floor of the Zhangshu Hotel at three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Su first found a seat, and then dialed the phone number of the white secretary, five minutes later, Luo Chenggong saw a personable man walk into the café, which looked like the white secretary he had seen in the People's Daily, and hurriedly stood up, accompanied Su Su and said hello to the white secretary.
"I'm afraid you have to come forward in this matter. After greeting for a while, Secretary Bai carefully read the materials written by Luo Chenggong, pondered for a long time, and then said: "The old leader is most taboo for us people below to abuse their power under his guise, although I can say a few words, but if the old leader knows, he will definitely be unhappy." ”
"Anyway, thank you, Secretary Bai. Luo Chenggong sighed and said with some disappointment: "I'm afraid that a few people in the village will be locked up and suffer enough, and they won't be able to endure it." ”
"I can handle this. Secretary Bai smiled, picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said: "Hey, is it Mayor Zhang, no, no, I didn't go to Zhangshu, I'm still in Beijing, there is something I want to trouble you, you have a Li Dexing in Zhangshu seems to be engaged in demolition, arrested a few villagers who made trouble, this matter has come to me, it doesn't seem to be very good, you hurry up and release people, don't worry, the old leader doesn't know, okay, then you arrange it, you must do it before five o'clock, otherwise, I can't help you!"
"Okay!" After making this call, Secretary Bai smiled and said to Luo Chenggong: "Your people will be able to come out in the afternoon, and Mayor Zhang has also promised that it will not be difficult for you, so you can rest assured." ”
"So, that's all right?" Luo Chenggong said in surprise.
"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause!" Secretary Bai shook his head and sighed: "Local things have always been like this, I made this call, he will also release people, maybe those people who are blocking the gate of your village will also be withdrawn, but when the rumor passes, it will definitely come back, I helped you this time, it can't be able to help forever, in the final analysis, this matter is still a matter of compensation, and it involves financial matters, it is not something I can do in a few words, this matter, you have to ask the old leader." ”
"Secretary Bai, do you think you can arrange for me to meet the old leader?" Luo Chenggong said urgently.
"No, I can't. Secretary Bai shook his head and said embarrassedly: "The old leader came this time for fear of being known by the leaders of these places and disturbing his tranquility. ”
"So, what should I do then?" Luo Chenggong asked with a sad face.
"Is there a Guandi Temple near your Dacao Village?" Secretary Bai thought for a moment and suddenly asked.
"Yes, it's on Wuli Road in the east of the village, and Secretary Bai also knows?" Luo Chenggong said strangely.
"It's not that I know, it's the old leader who knows. Secretary Bai showed a meaningful smile and said: "The old leader worships his ancestors, and he goes to this Guandi Temple, and this is your opportunity." ”
"Secretary Bai is saying, let's go there to ask the old leader?" Luo Chenggong asked as if he didn't understand.
"That's right, and there must be a lot of people, you can't go alone, the whole village of old and young men and women go out together, the more people, the better, but you must not fake to find people in other villages, the old leader hates people to fake the most, after he knows about this, he will definitely check the details of your village, once you know that you have deceived him, whether you are wronged or not, you will not care, you must remember this matter. Secretary Bai said with a serious face: "The old leader is still very concerned about the suffering of the masses, a few people, dozens of people are not a big deal, there are as many people in your village, as many people as there are, when you complain, you must reveal your true feelings and tell all the grievances you have suffered, so that the old leader will know that you have suffered, and he will remember this matter!"
"But if no one in the village is watching, what if Li Dexing comes?" Luo Chenggong asked hesitantly.
"I called Mayor Zhang, he will naturally take this matter to heart, now I am afraid that he has already ordered it, within a few days, he will not dare to mess around, if this little face is not given to me, he will not have to continue to work. Secretary Bai sneered and said, "When you go back, send someone out to see, there is still no one blocking outside, if there is, you can come back to me, I want to see how this surnamed Zhang explains!"
"Then, when will we go over tomorrow morning?" Luo Chenggong thought for a moment and asked again.
"Nine o'clock in the morning. Secretary Bai said: "The old leader set off from here at eight o'clock in the morning, and at nine o'clock he should have almost finished his work, you don't go too early, disturb the old leader's errands, remember to call all the people in the village, the more the better, the less, the effect will be discounted!"
"Okay, I see. Luo Chenggong nodded, lowered his head and began to think about how to do this matter, Su Su on the side smiled, and said to Luo Chenggong: "Old Luo, you go down and wait for me for a while, and I will talk to Secretary Bai about something." ”
"Okay, I'll just go back by myself. Luo Chenggong also knew the severity, stood up and went downstairs.
Waiting for Luo Chenggong to disappear, the smile on Secretary Bai's face became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Wake up, I don't think he will bring everyone out, it's not good to kill and hurt people at that time!"
"Bai Mu, you are good everywhere, but your heart is too soft. The incarnate female reporter sneered: "This grass villager is fierce, and if you don't agree with each other, you almost suffered a seedling when I first entered, and other people don't need to say much, dog eats dog, what's so pitiful, besides, I have calculated that the water flow can't drown people!"
"But—" Shiraki frowned, and wanted to say something more, but he had already stood up and walked downstairs, and those words finally turned into silent sighs floating in the café.
