Liu Jiangtao lowered his head and was silent again, but this time, Chen Qingdong did not disturb him, but looked at him silently smoking a cigarette.

To be honest, Chen Qingdong admires Liu Jiangtao, but Liu Jiangtao's character of being a good person makes Chen Qingdong very dissatisfied, so Chen Qingdong deliberately forced him to be ruthless and more responsible.

In fact, Chen Qingdong also knows that even if Liu Jiangtao can really be ruthless, it is definitely not something that can be changed in an instant, and he will definitely need some time to think about this matter and re-understand this matter.

Anyway, Chen Qingdong will have nothing to do, so he is willing to waste a little time and wait for Liu Jiangtao to think about it.

After thinking for about a minute, Liu Jiangtao finally raised his head and said, "Mayor Chen, I asked Ma Shengli to find you, I really thought that Director Zhou was unwilling to take care of his affairs. However, I really don't know if Director Zhou has anything to do with this matter. But...... But ......"

"But what?" Chen Qingdong asked.

"But I know that their village party secretary must have something to do with it, because these things are all issued by the civil affairs office to their village branch at one time, and then their village branch distributes them to the elderly in the village. Ma Shengli sent very few of their things, and it was very likely that they were detained by their village party secretary. Liu Jiangtao said.

Liu Jiangtao's statement this time made Chen Qingdong more satisfied than just now, at least Liu Jiangtao dared to "identify" those village party secretaries who were making trouble in the middle, but this is still far from Chen Qingdong's complete satisfaction.

Therefore, Chen Qingdong asked again: "What does it mean that it is possible to be detained by their village party secretary? When your civil affairs office first sent things to their village branch, did they send them with quality and quantity? Also, after you sent things to their village branch, did the village branch send these things to the people, and did you follow up and confirm this matter?"

Liu Jiangtao shook his head and said, "Mayor Chen, in fact, our civil affairs office is very non-standard in the management of this matter, and there are many leaks in the middle that can be drilled...... But Director Zhou's person is not bad, I don't think he should do such a conscience-losing thing......"

Chen Qingdong glared at Liu Jiangtao and said, "What do you think? Liu Jiangtao, you are a member of the Communist Party, right?"

"Yes. Liu Jiangtao nodded.

"Okay, Comrade Liu Jiangtao, if you are a member of the Communist Party, you must uphold your party spirit! Although this incident of Ma Shengli may be a trivial matter in terms of the property involved, it is not a trivial matter in terms of its nature! I will definitely investigate it carefully to see who is the fly that exploits the common people! Of course, if Zhou Quan has nothing to do with this incident, I will absolutely not wronged him. However, if Zhou Quan really had something to do with this incident and was greedy for ink from it, then Zhou Quan was the fly, not only losing his conscience, but also breaking the law! Liu Jiangtao, if Zhou Quan was a lawbreaker, would you still be willing to think that others were good?"

Liu Jiangtao lowered his head and was silent.

Chen Qingdong didn't give him a chance to be silent this time, and said: "Liu Jiangtao, you must make a statement now, if Zhou Quan is really a lawbreaker, what will you do?"

Liu Jiangtao took a deep breath, then looked at Chen Qingdong and said, "I promise, if Director Zhou really does something illegal and undisciplined, I will definitely report him!"

Chen Qingdong nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Jiangtao said again at this time: "Mayor Chen, I ...... I have a request......"

"Say it. ”

"Mayor Chen, until there is no definite evidence that Director Zhou has a problem, I hope you can still look at him from the perspective of a comrade. ”

Chen Qingdong almost laughed, this Liu Jiangtao, I really don't know whether to say that he is simple, or whether to say that he is kind-hearted, in fact, Chen Qingdong thinks that Liu Jiangtao is really pedantic!

On the surface, Chen Qingdong still said seriously: "You don't need to say this, I have my own measure." But you can't say a word about what we're talking about in this office today. ”

Liu Jiangtao hurriedly said: "I promise that I will never say a word." ”

For this point, Chen Qingdong trusts Liu Jiangtao quite a lot, and he also knows that for a person with Liu Jiangtao's character, it is not easy for him to force him to show that attitude just now, so he no longer holds on to this matter, but changes back to the topic just now and asks: "Jiang Tao, I heard that Ma Shengli has a mental problem, what's the matter?"

This topic obviously made Liu Jiangtao a lot more relaxed, he subconsciously slid his hands on his thighs, and said: "Ma Shengli does have some mental problems, but it is not serious, the main thing is that there is something wrong with memory, and some things are not clear." ”

"I heard that he always told people that he had a girl who was abducted by traffickers when she was seventeen or eighteen years old?

"Hehe, this thing is fake. ”

"It's really fake......"

However, this incident was not completely imagined by him, in fact, his memory was confused. Liu Jiangtao said again.

"Oh, what's going on?" asked Chen Qingdong curiously. He hadn't really met anyone whose memories were confused before.

Moreover, at this moment, Chen Qingdong even thought of what it meant that Ma Shengli's memory was confused? Could it be that he had abducted and sold other people's daughters when he was young, but now that he is older, he regarded this incident as someone else abducting and selling his daughter?

So, this horse victory is actually a human trafficker?

When Chen Qingdong was thinking about these things with his mind open, Liu Jiangtao explained: "Mayor Chen, in fact, this is the case, I heard that Ma Shengli's family was very poor when he was young, and he couldn't marry a wife. At that time, the custom of buying daughters-in-law from Guizhou and Sichuan was very popular, and Ma Shengli also raised thousands of yuan to buy a girl from Guizhou, I heard that the girl was very young, and when Ma Shengli bought her, she was seventeen or eighteen years old. However, Ma Shengli did not defend the girl and let the girl escape in one night. Now Ma Shengli's brain is not good, so he treats this incident as if his daughter was abducted by traffickers, and he always tells others, so it seems that he is neurotic. However, I know very well that he has no other mental problems. ”

Chen Qingdong couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that there is still this kind of thing! Hey, Jiang Tao, what Ma Shengli said this time can't be made up by him, right?"

"This is not made up. Liu Jiangtao said firmly.

"Are you sure?" asked Chen Qingdong.

Liu Jiangtao nodded and said: "Mayor Chen, in fact, Ma Shengli came to me several times because of this matter before, and at the beginning, others told me that he was a neurotic, so I thought he was a neuropath, and I didn't take it seriously." But then he came to me often, and sometimes I talked to him, and found that he spoke normally and didn't look like a crazy person at all. And what happened to him was very bad. I sympathized with him, so I went to investigate the matter myself, and the result was ......"

"How did it turn out?"

"As a result, I found that Ma Shengli is not the only one who has this problem......"

After Liu Jiangtao finished saying this, Chen Qingdong and Liu Jiangtao couldn't help but glance at each other, and their eyes were very complicated!

"Jiang Tao, how many people have this situation, and how many villages are involved?" asked Chen Qingdong solemnly.

"Mayor Chen, I don't know how many people there are, but there are several such cases in Malou Village alone, and they are ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Jiangtao hesitated a little.

"What else?"

"Moreover, I also know that in the past two years, several elderly people who have passed away in Malou Village have been buried in violation of regulations, and they have not paid fines......

Chen Qingdong was shocked when he heard this!

The problem that Liu Jiangtao said later is much more serious than the previous one!

Since 1996, Longwan City has taken the lead in carrying out funeral reform in Huaihai Province, and at the beginning of 1999, the city's governments at all levels were required to sign a letter of responsibility for funeral reform with the village (resident) committees within their jurisdiction, strictly implement the cremation system of corpses, and actively promote the ecological burial law.

However, at the same time as signing this letter of responsibility, the city government also formulated a flexible rule, that is, all residents who insist on using the burial method must pay 5,000 to 10,000 yuan in compensation for land occupation, which is actually a fine with a different name.

However, in the regulations of the county-level government, the amount of the compensation for land occupation has risen to 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and to the town-level government, it has become 10,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Because in traditional Chinese culture, after the death of the elderly, there is a tradition of letting the old man enter the earth for peace. Because they believe that after the old man enters the earth, he can not only find peace for himself, but also use the ancestral shade to shelter future generations. If the old man is cremated, I am afraid that future generations will be punished.

In rural areas, this traditional culture is even more prevalent!

Therefore, although the amount of fines for traditional burials is really not low, there are still many families, even children who are not very filial to the elderly during their lifetime, will pool money to pay this fine, so that the elderly can be buried in peace.

In Liulin County, the specific work of funeral reform is done by the county civil affairs bureau and the civil affairs offices in the townships below, and the fines are also collected by the staff of the civil affairs system. After receiving the money, they will be refunded a certain percentage of the amount by the village committee where the fined villager belongs, and the civil affairs office itself will also leave a certain percentage of the money, and the rest of the money will be handed over to the government treasury.

Therefore, in the past two years, burial fines have also become another key supplementary revenue for governments at all levels in addition to family planning fines, and the civil affairs system has almost become a rich department second only to the family planning system.

If, when Zhou Quan was specifically operating this matter, he fined the illegal burial farmers with the lowest amount according to the flexible fine standard, then even if he received a little gift, it would not be a problem, but if he colluded with the people of the village branch to collect the fine funds at a low price without recording them, and then privately divided the money, this is a serious violation of the law!
