Song Chaoyang heard the quiet sycophants hidden in his words, couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile: "Just because of this incident, it is unfair to say that he is a faint official, and I may not be a bright official, I, the secretary of the municipal party committee, sometimes do stupid things, hehe." ”

After he laughed, his mood also recovered a little, and after a little thought, he said: "He reassured me, which means that he will not let me interfere, but how can I not interfere? If he does not solve the problem, he will try his best to suppress and cover up the problem, if I really don't interfere, one day the problem will break out in an all-round way, and there will really be some mass incidents. So, I have to intervene, but how to intervene needs to be carefully considered. Xiao Rui, you can tell me your opinion first. ”

Li Rui had been thinking about this matter just now, and when he heard this question, he said without thinking: "The water inside is very deep! The chemical plant that caused the pollution, the Shibei District Environmental Protection Bureau, and the district government represented by Zhao Xiaotao must all be in collusion with each other, and I seem to have seen a big net of collusion between officials and businessmen, which is ruthlessly hanging over the heads of the villagers of Dongshui Village. Of course, the collusion between officials and businessmen here may not be the collusion between officials and businessmen in a narrow sense, such as Zhao Xiaotao and the director of the Shibei District Environmental Protection Bureau covering the chemical plant, and how much benefit the chemical plant gave to the two people, etc., not this, but the collusion between officials and businessmen in a broad sense, which refers to the fact that Shibei District has to protect the chemical plant in order to protect the official rights and interests of the people in order to avoid infringement of taxes, jobs, and regional harmony. Otherwise, it is estimated that Zhao Xiaotao would not have had the courage to guarantee you in person just now. He may be thinking that I am dedicated to the GDP of Shibei District and the economic development of the people's livelihood, even if I am guilty, it is for the public. ”

Song Chaoyang thought so, and said: "You said that the three of them colluded with each other, then do you believe that Dongshui Village is suffering from very serious environmental pollution?" Li Rui nodded and said: "You still don't know the character of our domestic people, although many times there is a small peasant-like cunning and loves to take advantage of small advantages, but once it comes to confrontation with the elite class, it will be completely boring." In other words, if they are not oppressed to a certain extent, they will not rise up to make trouble, and once they do make trouble, it will in turn prove that the situation is already very serious. Song Chaoyang had already made up his mind when he heard this, and got up and said, "This matter must be investigated as soon as possible, otherwise I am worried that there will be a big mess in Dongshui Village." Xiao Rui, this matter can only be left to you......"

Li Rui had already guessed that if his boss wanted to find out about this matter, he would definitely send himself forward, after all, there were almost no available people under him, and the secretary general was available, but the secretary general of the family was doing big things, how could he use it to do such a small thing? Such a small matter was just handed over to his little secretary to do, and he happily agreed: "No problem, I will definitely help you find out." ”

Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Then I'll test you, how are you going to check? Where to start?"

Li Rui thought for a while and said, "How I plan to check, it depends on what kind of result you want to get, boss." If you are only concerned about the problem of environmental pollution, I will go undercover in Dongshui Village to investigate; if your focus is on the collusion between the three parties, then it is better to give me a sword of Shang Fang, and let me go to Shibei District with a holy decree to investigate as a minister of the Qincha, stirring up the muddy waters of the Shibei District Environmental Protection Bureau, the district government and the chemical plant, and trying to expose all the shady things. ”

Song Chaoyang laughed when he heard this, and said: "It's interesting, it coincides with my thoughts, it's really my secretary, haha." I have to investigate these two things clearly, so that today, you don't have to do anything, just go to investigate this matter: in the morning, you go undercover in Dongshui Village to investigate the local pollution situation on the spot, and come back at noon to report to me; according to the results of your investigation, we will see if it is necessary to give you Shang Fang's sword in the afternoon, and let you go to Shibei District as a minister to perform a show with great fanfare. ”

Li Rui nodded and said, "Then I'll prepare now and set off as soon as possible." ”

Song Chaoyang said: "You go to the secretary general and ask about the specific situation, maybe he can help you something." ”

Li Rui said hello, went out of the house to find Du Minsheng, and after seeing him, he talked about Song Chaoyang's arrangements and his plan.

Du Minsheng shook his head after hearing this, and said: "If you go to Dongshui Village to make an unannounced visit now, it is likely that you will not even be able to enter the village, the police of the police station in the street where Dongshui Village is located are still guarding the exit of the village, and the villagers who dare to report the pollution problem are also under control, you can't see them at all, if you don't have their introduction and guidance, you are afraid it will be difficult to understand the actual situation." You can't reveal your identity to the guards and police, otherwise Zhao Xiaotao and they will soon know that you are going to make an unannounced visit, and they will be wary of you everywhere, and even stumble on you, which is not conducive to your next step. ”

Li Rui said: "Then what should I do?"

Du Minsheng thought for a while and said: "How do you enter Dongshui Village, how do you find the people in the village to understand the inside story, I can't help you, I believe that with your wisdom and intelligence, you can definitely solve this problem, but I can help you in other aspects." Wait for me to call and see if there's anything I can do to help you. After that, he took his phone and started calling.

Li Rui waited for him to call empty, so he took his thermos cup to the water dispenser to refill the water, and later saw that there were two used empty paper cups on the hospitality coffee table, so he also cleaned them up.

Du Minsheng watched his actions while talking on the phone, and his face showed a look of relief.

After the phone call, Du Minsheng cleared his throat and said: "The most active and toughest person in Dongshui Village this time is an old man named Liu Erkui, who was the village chief of Dongshui Village a long time ago. His wife died of esophageal cancer last year, and his youngest son suffered from lung cancer this year, so it is understandable that he is concerned about this matter. He organized a group imitation activity to go to the Shibei District Environmental Protection Bureau to ask for an explanation, but it was unsuccessful. Now he and his house are under close police surveillance, and it is said that not even a sparrow can fly to his house. If you have a way, find him and you'll know everything you want to know. ”

Li Rui smiled bitterly: "Not even a sparrow can fly to his house?

Du Minsheng said with a smile: "In short, you have to be careful and try not to clash with the guards." Of course, if there is any danger, you must show your identity as soon as possible, and I believe that no one will dare to do anything to you. That's all I can help you with, and you can figure out the rest. ”

Li Rui thanked him and turned around to leave, but Du Minsheng stopped him again, pointed to his clothes and said: "You can't go over like this, if you really wear this outfit, which is a secret visit, it is clear that the cadres went to the countryside, and they will be recognized by those guarding policemen at a glance." ”

Li Rui smiled and nodded, and said in his heart Even if you don't say it, I will pay attention to this, but then again, I seem to only have such standard officialdom clothes, do I have to buy another set of clothes for this unannounced investigation?

Twenty minutes later, Li Rui drove a Poussin sedan and parked in front of a military labor protection supplies store on the side of the road on North West Second Ring Road, but did not get out of the car, but looked through the window at the brand new camouflage military uniforms hanging at the door of the store. In the past, camouflage military uniforms were the exclusive supplies and standard clothing of military soldiers, but later with the popularization of military labor insurance stores and the marketization of military supplies, these cheap and high-quality, strong and durable military uniforms slowly went to the people, and were gradually accepted by the working public. One of the most typical examples is that many small workers on construction sites and farmers in villages love to wear military uniforms to work.

Li Rui's current idea is to buy a camouflage military uniform and put it on, pretend to be an ordinary villager in Dongshui Village, mix in the village first, and then go to find that Liu Erkui, I believe that he should be able to deceive the policemen who are guarding him. But Li Rui quickly hesitated, because he found that the camouflage uniforms in the store were too new, and if he really bought them and wore them on his body, it would attract the attention and suspicion of the guards and police, after all, the villagers were relatively sloppy, and they usually did more farm work, so it was impossible to run around in brand-new camouflage uniforms.

He thought for a moment, but in the end he got out of the car, went into the store and bought a complete set of camouflage uniforms, with a pair of black slip-on shoes, and got in the car after coming out, driving north to Dongshui Village.

Today's weather is not too good, cloudy, which seems to indicate that today's errand is obscure and not easy to do.

Although Li Rui is a native of Shibei District, Shibei District is too big, and it is impossible for him to have been to every place, let alone know every road he has ever had, for example, this Dongshui Village, he has never heard of it before, so how can he recognize the road in the past? Fortunately, he knows that this village is in the northwest of Shibei District, and he can drive all the way to the northwest.

In this way, he went all the way to the west and north, stopping occasionally to inquire, constantly correcting the route, and finally after half an hour, he came to the edge of a T-junction that extended to the west, north, and south. He came from the south, and from this T-junction to the west, walk one or two hundred meters, is the entrance of Dongshui Village.

The road is desolate, surrounded by wilderness, and there are no homes, let alone shops, on either side of the road. Li Rui's car stopped on the road, very conspicuous, conspicuous but not afraid, the key is very blocking the road - this road is too narrow, there is only one lane, barely enough to accommodate two cars in the opposite direction, if his car is parked on the side of the road and does not move, it will be very obstructive.

Li Rui thought for a while, drove the car to the field next to it and parked it, took off his clothes after turning off the fire, put on the newly bought camouflage military uniform and lazy shoes, and got out of the car and locked the car after preparing to stop, slightly identified the direction, deliberately avoided the west-facing cement road into the village, and walked around the field to the southeast corner of Dongshui Village.
