Chapter 11 Villagers block the road
Liu Junkang's mobile phone rang urgently, he pressed the answer button, and Huo Yilu's anxious voice came from inside: "The villagers of Lishukou Village have blocked the road, let Mayor Zhao hide back to the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine!" ”
Zhao Changfeng heard it clearly in the back, he snatched Liu Junkang's mobile phone with his hand, and asked solemnly: "Comrade Yilu, what's going on?" Why should I be allowed to hide? ”
But he couldn't hear Huo Yilu's answer, Zhao Changfeng looked forward, and saw that the smoke had already surrounded Huo Yilu's jeep, and a group of people rushed towards them.
Zhao Changfeng pushed the car door and was about to get out of the car, Liu Junkang hurriedly said: "Boss, I can't go, the villagers of Lishukou Village are notoriously difficult to mess with." It's a pity that the armed police of the fire brigade are gone, otherwise they can still play a starting role. Boss, let's go back to the mine first. ”
Zhao Changfeng came up in a hurry, "Is this still not the territory of Bibei City?" Am I still the mayor of Bibei City? ”
He ignored Liu Junkang's obstruction and got out of the car.
The director of the police station and the two police officers saw Zhao Changfeng get out of the car, and hurriedly ran over from behind, and the director of Wu said nervously to Zhao Changfeng: "Mayor Zhao, you can't go ahead, let's go back to the mine first." ”
Zhao Changfeng glanced at Director Wu coldly and said, "Why can't you go?" Comrade Yilu was surrounded, as the head of the police station, what are you doing hiding behind if you don't solve the problem in front of you? ”
Director Wu hurriedly said, "Mayor Zhao, I want to protect your safety first!" ”
"Nonsense!" Zhao Changfeng shook his hand and walked forward. Liu Junkang had already gotten out of the car, and he grabbed the front of Zhao Changfeng's side, not only with the meaning of leading the way, but also with the meaning of being responsible for Zhao Changfeng at a critical moment. The driver, Lao Xing, started Poussin and slowly followed.
Although Director Wu was deflated, he didn't dare to slack off, waved his hand, trotted up with the two policemen, rushed to the front of Zhao Changfeng, and walked side by side with Liu Junkang.
A group of villagers in front had already rushed over, and there were two or three hundred.
Director Wu strode and stood in the middle of the road, and shouted at the crowd with a tiger face: "You have all turned the sky upside down! Mayor Zhao of the municipal axe is here, and he collided with Mayor Zhao, which of you can afford this responsibility? ”
Some villagers hesitated and slowed down, while more quickened their pace and shouted, "The mayor is better here!" We're looking for the mayor today! If we don't solve the problem, more than 2,000 people in Lishukou Village will not survive! ”
Two or three hundred people hula-la-la-la, surrounded Zhao Changfeng and a few people in the middle. The sweat on the heads of Director Wu and the two policemen came down, and although Liu Junkang's face was pale, his body was firmly in front of Zhao Changfeng.
"Junkang, get out of the way!" Zhao Changfeng patted Liu Junkang on the back.
"Mayor Zhao—" Liu Junkang pleaded, unwilling to get out of the way. Zhao Changfeng couldn't help but put Liu Junkang away and directly faced the villagers of Lishukou. The villagers of Lishukou began to push and shove to squeeze Zhao Changfeng, and Zhao Changfeng said loudly: "I am Zhao Changfeng of the municipal axe, if you have any problems, you can reflect them to me, let's talk about it, there is no problem that cannot be solved." If you want to talk to me, be quiet and don't make a fuss. I think you've come here to see it, and it's also for the purpose of solving problems, not for making trouble and making trouble, right? Disturbances and commotions will not solve the problem. If you have any opinions, we still have to communicate and solve them through conversation, don't you say? If you continue to make noise, then I won't talk to you today! ”
Zhao Changfeng's words were tepid, looking soft, but very powerful and reasonable, which shocked the villagers of Lishukou Village at once. A few young stunned young people still wanted to squeeze forward and continue to coax, but they were severely stopped by the older villagers beside them with their eyes.
Zhao Changfeng glanced at the villagers and continued: "Before we officially start talking, I would like to make a request. You put Township Chief Huo and a few others back. No matter what is wrong with his work, after all, he is still your township chief, there are many things, he knows better than me, and having him present also makes it easier for me to understand your requirements, isn't it? ”
A middle-aged man in his forties waved his hand, and someone shouted at the back: "Brother Sanfa asked you to bring Township Chief Huo and a few of them over." ”
More than 200 people rushed over from behind, pushing and shoving Huo Yilu, the deputy secretary of the township party committee, and the deputy head of the township. Several township cadres had messy hair and crumpled clothes, and Huo Yilu's armpit had a big gap, and the smoky armpit hair was exposed, obviously having physical contact with the villagers just now.
The villagers of Lishukou Village dodged a passage, and several people on Huo Yilu were pushed into the circle in embarrassment.
"Mayor Zhao, I'm ......" Huo Yilu's face was flushed, and he wanted to explain to Zhao Changfeng in embarrassment.
Zhao Changfeng waved his hand, "I'll talk about it later." Solve the problems of the villagers first. Then Zhao Changfeng said to the villagers: "I want to thank everyone in advance for putting back the township cadres of Township Chief Huo." ”
The villagers were originally chattering, but as soon as Zhao Changfeng's words came out, the scene suddenly quieted down. In the impression of the villagers, the cadres are high, not to mention the mayor, when have you ever seen the township cadres say thank you to them? It seems that the new Mayor Zhao is really different from other cadres, maybe Mayor Zhao can really solve their problems!
"Let me introduce myself again, my name is Zhao Changfeng, and I am the executive deputy mayor of the Beibei Municipal Axe" Zhao Changfeng slowly glanced at the villagers, his tone was steady and sincere, "To be honest, everyone blocked me on this road today, I don't know what is going on." But I know that I am definitely responsible. It's only been more than a month since I arrived in Bibei City, and I'm not familiar with many situations, but I can't use this reason as an excuse. I believe that we Chinese people are good people, if it is not really unbearable, who would want to block the mayor's road? Who would want to come and cause trouble for the political axe and the country? As the executive vice mayor of Bibei City, I have been in office for more than a month, and I don't even know that there is a village under my jurisdiction where hundreds of villagers can't get by, which shows that my work is not in place, floating on it, I solemnly apologize to everyone here. ”
Zhao Changfeng bowed deeply.
The scene was silent, and some villagers with shallow eye sockets began to turn red, and bright tears were about to roll out, so they hurriedly wiped their eyes with their sleeves or plackets.
After Zhao Changfeng bowed, he stood up straight again, and said loudly to the villagers: "Since the villagers have found me, it means that the villagers believe in me, and I promise to live up to the trust of the villagers." Well, you can choose a few representatives to come and have a good talk with me about your situation, so that I can understand your requirements, right? ”
The middle-aged villager named Sanfa who signaled for release just now looked at the crowd and said, "Uncle Zhuzi, Brother Genius, come and talk to Mayor Zhao with me." ”
A thin old man in his sixties and a middle-aged man of the same age as Sanfa stood up.
Zhao Changfeng looked around and found that there was an open space next to the main road in front of him, so he pointed to the open space and said, "Let's talk there." After a pause, he said, "Also, can the villagers all stand on the side of the road and wait?" Don't stand on the main road and block the traffic coming and going. ”
"Good!" Wang Sanfa shouted at the villagers: "Everyone wait on the side of the road." Get out of the way. The villagers obediently retreated to both sides of the road.
Zhao Changfeng took the lead in walking towards the open space, Liu Junkang followed closely, and Huo Yilu and other township cadres also followed.
Wang Sanfa, Wang Zhuzi, and Wang Tiancai gathered together and discussed a few words in a whisper, before starting to walk towards the open space.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Junkang quickly whispered to Zhao Changfeng about the situation in Lishukou Village. There are more than 2,000 people in Lishukou Village, all of whom have the surname Wang. In the past, it was a alpine apple planting base, and the apples produced were a must in Beibei City, and they were very famous in Tianyang City. But everything has changed since the discovery of gold here. Five or six gold mines have been opened around Lishukou Village, among which the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine is the largest. These large and small gold mines use highly toxic chemicals sodium cyanide and mercury when smelting gold, and then discharge the waste liquid at will, and the waste liquid flows into the Dalong Creek near the mouth of the pear tree, the once clear and fresh Dalong Creek has become a terrifying backwater, the terrifying backwater of the river, and the place where it flows through is not a single grass, and the fish and shrimp are extinct. Poultry and livestock that come into contact with water will be poisoned, and people will be itchy, sore, red and swollen when they touch water. Because sodium cyanide poison is very strong, only a very small amount of content is needed to make people die instantly, so after Dalongxi is polluted, it cannot be drunk or irrigated, because all the crops or apple forests that have been watered in Dalongxi will wither and die. No one dared to eat the apples of the few fruit trees that did not wither and die. What worries the villagers of Lishukou even more is that the groundwater is also polluted, and the water in the wells they dig smells so bad that people itch all over their bodies when they touch it. Not only did they have no water to water their crops, but they also had no water to eat.
