Chapter 161: The Anger of the Crowd
Li Weijun saw that the villagers gathered in the courtyard of the town government were all angry, and many people were helping the shirtless man to scold him by name, so he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly moved his eyes to the outside of the courtyard wall, only to see that there were still villagers gathering from the direction of Huaguang Village, some entering the government courtyard, and some gathering in the direction of the police station on the left......
At this moment, the door of the hidden office was suddenly slammed open, and Li Guiyi, director of the town party committee office, rushed in with a frightened face and stammered: "Secretary Li, something has happened! The villagers of Huaguang Village almost rushed out, and some of them surrounded the town police station and demanded that the police station release Lu Tao, a member of the mass work team stationed in the village; the rest of the people gathered on the playground below, asking you to go down and explain to them why you want to seize the funds for helping the villagers to do good deeds? Why do you want to arrest the Lu cadres who have won funds for the villagers' good deeds? They also threatened: If you don't answer them within 10 minutes, you will rush to your office, and the door of the government compound will be blocked, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave!"
Li Weijun secretly complained bitterly in his heart, but his face pretended to be calm, and he shouted inwardly: "A few Diao people are making trouble, why are you so flustered? They are gathering a crowd to attack state organs, and it is a criminal act, I will immediately call the police and ask the county public security bureau to dispatch police forces to arrest those Diao people who took the lead in making trouble!"
Seeing that he was really about to grab the phone and call the police, Li Guiyi hurriedly came over and held his hand and persuaded: "Secretary Li, you must not call the police now! If the villagers below learn that you have called the police, they will be even more angry, and maybe they will really rush up and smash your office, and may even beat you, and the consequences will be unimaginable! Besides, once you call the police, the county party committee, county government, and municipal party committee and government will immediately know. Even if you are not at fault, because you caused this incident, your superiors will definitely hold you accountable, and maybe they will punish you harshly - have you thought about the consequences?"
Li Weijun knew that what he said was completely right: If the higher-ups learned that the villagers of a village were besieging the town government compound and the police station, and the inducement was still his own town party secretary, no matter how wronged he was, he would definitely deal with himself first. What's more, there is indeed no reason to put the help funds of Huaguang Village on the table this time, and it is indeed wrong. If this matter really makes a big fuss, Secretary Luo of the county party committee will not be able to protect himself, and the dismissal of his official position will be light, and maybe he will be imprisoned......
Thinking of this, he finally felt a little scared, and a stream of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he finally stabilized his mind and asked Li Guiyi: "Xiao Li, since you persuaded me not to call the police, what should I do now? Do you have any coping strategies?"
Li Guiyi thought for a while and said, "Secretary Li, you call Su Yaoguang right now." It was an old fox who had been the village party secretary for more than ten years and had a high prestige among the villagers. I reckon that as long as he intervenes to dissuade him, the troublemakers will listen to him. ”
Li Weijun didn't think about Su Yaoguang at first, but when he heard Li Guiyi mention it at this moment, he suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help but scold: "Mother sells*, I almost forgot this old thing! Xiao Li, I'm sure that today's scene of the villagers of Huaguang Village besieging the government was directed and instigated by Su Yaoguang, an old bastard, otherwise, who would have such a big appeal and organize so many villagers to come here to make trouble in less than an hour? You're still asking me to call that old bastard and ask him to come forward to calm the situation, isn't that a salary to put out the fire?"
Li Guiyi said thoughtfully: "Secretary Li, do you think I don't know that this scene was directed by Su Yaoguang? But now you can't expose him for the time being, otherwise it will be difficult for today's scene to end." I suggest you call him right away, pretend not to know that he is the initiator, and ask him to do the work of persuading the villagers. When the time comes, he will definitely make a request to you, as long as it is not excessive, you will temporarily promise him to calm down the situation first. ”
Li Weijun nodded, picked up his mobile phone and called up Su Yaoguang's number, after connecting, he tried his best to restrain his anger, and asked in a calm tone: "Yaoguang branch secretary, where are you? Do you know that some people in your village are besieging the town government and police station?"
Su Yaoguang pretended to be surprised and asked, "Secretary Li, what's the matter? I and the village director Su Xiancan were both in a meeting at the county government, and we didn't know that such a big thing had happened in the village, and no one called us to tell us." By the way, why are they besieging the town government and the police station?"
Li Weijun almost scolded him when he saw him pretending to be crazy and stupid, but considering that he was asking him now, he had to forcibly suppress the anger in his heart and continued to say in a calm tone: "Just now, Lu Tao, a member of the mass work team stationed in your village, rushed to my office, insulted me, and slapped the table to threaten me. The people in your village didn't know who was bewitched, and hundreds of people came at once, blocked the police station, demanded the release of Lu Tao, and threatened to smash my office. I hope you will make a phone call to the person who is leading the trouble, and advise them not to come nonsense and not to do anything excessive. Otherwise, the leader will be severely punished by the law!"
Su Yaoguang immediately asked: "Secretary Li, Cadre Lu is not a madman, why did he suddenly come to your office and slap the table and scold you? There must be a reason for this!"
Li Weijun saw that he was still pretending to be confused at this time, and he didn't know how to scold him for hundreds of words, "the old fox who sells his mother*", but he didn't dare to turn his face with him, so he had to say vaguely: "He came to ask about the so-called 'hat money' in your village, and as soon as he entered the door, he angrily asked me why I wanted to withhold the money in your village? I explained to him that this money was not a hat fund, and the document of the Provincial Finance Department did not clearly allocate the million yuan to Huaguang Village, so the town did not allocate it to the village for the time being.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly flew into a rage, pointed at my nose and scolded my mother, and threatened me with words. I saw that he was getting more and more violent, which had affected the normal work of other staff in the office building, and I had to call the police. I hope you will persuade those troublemakers not to be deceived and deceived by those with ulterior motives, if they continue to make trouble and break the law, they will go to jail!"
Su Yaoguang was silent for a moment, and said: "Secretary Li, let's talk from your heart, you have done this too unauthentically, no wonder the villagers are angry! The Lu cadres have worked hard to get 1 million house renovation funds from the Provincial Department of Finance for our villagers, and you say that it will be detained, what do you want those poor households who still live in adobe houses that leak on all sides? They originally expected this assistance fund to build a new house, but you stuck on the funds and did not release them, so it is strange that they don't look for you to work hard!"
