A person walks into the conference room, and the door closes behind him. The person who came was none other than Wu Hailiang, secretary of the county party committee, who was holding a file bag in his hand.

Wu Hailiang didn't stop, he came straight behind Qiao Jinbao and handed over the file bag: "Secretary, it's for you." ”

"What's that? didn't you see that I'm in a meeting?" Qiao Jinbao looked at the secretary.

"Secretary, I know you're in a meeting, it's just that this thing ......" Speaking of this, Wu Hailiang pointed to the file bag, "Look." ”

Qiao Jinbao said "oh", took the file bag, and read out the text written on the secretary's finger: "Please Secretary Qiao personally open it, and immediately open it to save the people from fire and water." ”

After reading this, Qiao Jinbao frowned: "What's going on?

Wu Hailiang immediately said: "Just now I went to open the mailbox of the masses, and found this file bag in the mailbox, and after seeing the words on the bag, I immediately rushed here. I was worried that there was some danger inside, so I pinched it on the way here, and there was nothing sharp and hard in it, it seemed to be some paper. ”

Qiao Jinbao said: "So, who put it and what content is inside, there is no way to know?"

"Well, yes. Wu Hai nodded and agreed.

Qiao Jinbao waved his hand: "You go." ”

Wu Hailiang replied "yes", walked forward, and left the conference room.

There was a "bang" and the door shut.

There was silence in the room, and everyone looked at Qiao Jinbao and their eyes were on the file bag.

"Since it's so urgent, I can only watch it now, and delay everyone for a while. As he spoke, Qiao Jinbao reached out and tore the seal on the file bag.

"Secretary, I'd better come. Xia Maocheng, director of the Party Committee Office, got up and stretched out his right hand.

"It's so evil, and it's still dangerous?" Qiao Jinbao disagreed.

Xia Maocheng insisted: "Secretary, safety first, prevention first, I am responsible for the secretary." ”

"You're so careful. Although he said so, Qiao Jinbao still handed over the file bag.

Xia Maocheng took the file bag, pinched it back and forth on it first, and then gently tore open the seal and reached in. Soon, a folded white cloth was taken out of it.

"What is it? Qiao Jinbao said what everyone was thinking.

"Here, help. As he spoke, Xia Maocheng gave one end of the white cloth to Li Yaoguang at his side, and he stood up, left his seat, and took a few steps.

During Xia Maocheng's walk, the entire white cloth was unfolded, and more than a dozen red words appeared on it: Severely punish the culprit Chu Tianqi and save twenty thousand people from fire and water.

Seeing the above content, almost everyone opened their mouths in shock, their faces were full of surprise and astonishment, and some people flashed a trace of fear, but the person who was afraid was not Chu Tianqi.

At first glance, Chu Tianqi was also taken aback, but then he felt strange. He is confident that he has not done anything hurtful to heaven and reason, let alone provoked the anger of 200,000 people, why should people hate him so much.

Secretly thinking about this number, Chu Tianqi suddenly thought of one thing.

"What's going on?" Qiao Jinbao pointed to the white cloth. He was not only talking to himself, but also like asking Chu Tianqi and asking everyone.

No one answered Qiao Jinbao's question, and no one could answer.

"That's it?" Qiao Jinbao turned to Xia Maocheng again.

"I'll take another look. Xia Maocheng quickly returned to his seat, opened the file bag again, took out an envelope from it, and then shook his head, "It's gone." ”

"What the hell?" Qiao Jinbao held out his hand.

"Give. Xia Maocheng handed the envelope forward, and then said, "There are also words on the back of the envelope." ”

Taking the envelope, Qiao Jinbao read out the contents on the back: "Chu Tianqi's crime is extremely heinous, and he requests severe punishment." ”

After people raised their questions, they were immediately relieved: Of course, the contents of a bag had to be him.

Tearing open the envelope seal, Qiao Jinbao suddenly stopped again, turned his head to look at the left: "County Magistrate Chu, shouldn't you avoid it?"

"Okay. Chu Tianqi replied and walked towards the door.

Everyone's eyes were on the tall figure, but the meaning of the gaze was different, some were sympathetic, some were gloating, some were curious, and some were puzzled.

"Kick", "kick", stepping on a powerful rhythm, Chu Tianqi arrived at the door. raised his hand and was about to pull the doorknob, but suddenly stopped and turned his head: "Secretary Qiao, I can't go out and avoid it." ”

"The recusal of the parties is the most basic common sense, and no one can destroy it. Qiao Jinbao said lightly.

Chu Tianqi said: "Secretary, you misunderstood, it's not that I don't want to avoid it, but I'm thinking about the secretary." What would you do if I left here because I was avoided, and if I needed to be dealt with according to the contents of the letter, but I could not be found for a while? You are responsible, and you explicitly asked me to leave. In addition, I don't know the above content yet, you can't let the public prosecutor follow me, that doesn't follow the procedure. ”

Qiao Jinbao paused, and then said: "County Magistrate Chu, thank you for thinking about me, but I believe that you will not trap me and be unjust, you should not be that kind of person." ”

Chu Tianqi walked back slowly: "Secretary, what you said is contradictory. If you believe me, then why should you let me avoid it? Isn't it just a few words without a beginning or an end? I am not a suspect who has already been determined. It seems that I shouldn't avoid it, right?" As he spoke, Chu Tianqi sat back in his previous position.

This is too rampant, isn't it? Duan Cheng and the others all thought so in their hearts.

It's also too composed. That's what most people think.

"Hey, okay, you. Qiao Jinbao looked helpless.

"Secretary, then you read the letter, I don't read it. As he spoke, Chu Tianqi turned his head to the other side.

Qiao Jinbao took out the envelope from the envelope and looked at it.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the main seat, staring at the two pieces of paper, and also paying attention to Qiao Jinbao's facial expression. A few people who were close even poked their heads out, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so they retracted their necks stupidly.

"Smack. Qiao Jinbao slapped his palm on the table, "It's too unusual." ”

Old Joe is going to be angry? Many people have made this judgment, and their eyes wander in front of Qiao and Chu.

But what made everyone strange was that Qiao Jinbao did not ask Chu Tian Qi Xingshi for the crime, but handed over the paper in his hand: "County Magistrate Chu, look at it, what is written here?"

"I think, is it appropriate?" Chu Tianqi turned his head and asked.

"Look, look. Qiao Jinbao pushed the paper into the other party's hand.

Chu Tianqi took it and looked at the above content. Sure enough, it was exactly what I expected, and it was indeed that.

This piece of paper is more apt than a letter from the masses as an indictment. This strictly condemned Chu Tianqi's crime: preventing the distribution of agricultural subsidies, the text on the paper was consistent with the content of the rumors, but it was written in a more orderly manner, and Chu Tianqi's motives, goals, and means were all written. It is said that when Chu Tianqi went to Anping County last summer to investigate, because he found problems in the distribution of subsidies in Hejiayao Township, he questioned the entire agricultural subsidy policy, so he reported to the relevant departments and specifically put forward a request not to issue subsidies to the farmers in Anping.

In addition, the letter also linked the reason why the peasants did not dare to plant cash crops with this incident, claiming that he doubted Chu Tianqi's character and did not believe that he would work for the well-being of the people. There was no signature on the letter, the reason was that he was afraid of Chu Tianqi's retaliation. Finally, he also said that the masses watched with their eyes open, and asked Secretary Qiao to preside over justice and punish the violent official Chu Tianqi. He also said that writing a blood book on a white cloth was to express this feeling of indignation and anticipation, saying that the blood was accumulated by three drops per person of many people.

After reading the entire content of the letter, Chu Tianqi completely understood the cause of the rumors, which was probably for today's use, or it could be a trick that could not be used. Although the above is full of loopholes and is not worth refuting, it has found a reason for the difficulty of planting cash crops: Chu Tianqi is unpopular. Soon the contents of the letter will spread to every corner of the county, and many people will believe these contents and increase their hatred for themselves.

Knowing that the other party had finished reading it, Qiao Jinbao said in a concerned tone: "County Magistrate Chu, don't be angry, what you said above is not worth refuting at all, it is all subjective speculation." Don't worry, I will definitely investigate the initiator and return your innocence. ”

"Secretary, it's definitely not worth refuting, how can I have so much energy, as long as people with long brains won't believe it, there's no need to track it down. Chu Tianqi put forward a different opinion, "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." ”

"Your mind is commendable, but you can't let rumors spread unchecked, you have to give you an explanation, right? Don't care, I'll let people do this? Don't let the confused masses ruin your reputation. Speaking of this, Qiao Jinbao looked at the crowd, "Hu Guangcheng, immediately arrange someone to investigate this matter." Even if the agricultural subsidies are not paid and the planting of cash crops is difficult, these two responsibilities are deducted to the magistrate of Chu County.

Hu Guangcheng replied upright: "Yes, I will do it immediately." ”

"You don't have to. Chu Tianqi said in a deep voice.

"This is no longer your personal matter, this involves the dignity of the county party committee and the county government, and it must be seriously investigated and severely punished. Qiao Jinbao waved his hand, "Hu Guangcheng, go now." ”

"Yes. After answering again, Hu Guangcheng walked out.

"Stop, don't go anywhere. Chu Tianqi shouted loudly.

Hu Guangguo suddenly stopped.

Qiao Jinbao's face was gloomy: "County Magistrate Chu, the masses have fabricated facts based on their imagination, and they have formed facts and rumors, and we must correct them. Otherwise, how can your reputation be guaranteed? Your reputation is closely linked to the government. ”

"Secretary, with such a big fanfare, everyone is in danger, and the whole city is known, isn't it more scolded, more jealous, and more famous?" Chu Tianqi put forward a reason to block.

Qiao Jinbao snorted: "County Magistrate Chu, it's not right for you to do this, right? I'm doing all this for your good and for the good of the government." But you're pushing, what's there to be afraid of?"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid. Chu Tianqi said coldly, "I'm afraid of falling into the trap of bad guys." ”
