Ling Shijie was a little surprised when he received Han Bo's call. His previous article on the governance of small steel was also praised by Han Bo, who encouraged him to stay in Xingchuan for a while and make a series of reports. Now that his second draft has just been written halfway through and has not yet been completed, Han Bo asked him to throw away the matter in his hand and rush back to Mei'an immediately, which is a bit strange.

"Mr. Han, is something wrong?" Ling Shijie asked, it is fashionable to call the teacher in the newspaper, which seems more elegant than the title of director.

Han Bo replied angrily: "Don't you know what you did yourself?" ”

"Me? I didn't do anything. Ling Shijie wondered even more, he stayed in Xingchuan well, he didn't do anything, could it be that the incident of playing with so-and-so was noticed by someone's husband and reported to the newspaper?

Han Bo didn't bother to explain, so he left a sentence: "Mr. Rong said, let you take a plane back to Mei'an immediately, and the air ticket will not be reimbursed." ”

"This ......" Ling Shijie was about to ask a few more questions, and Han Bo had already hung up the phone first.

Fortunately, Ling Shijie did not have no friends at the newspaper office, and after making a few more phone calls, he learned more or less about the situation, and knew that hundreds of petitioners had occupied the newspaper office in the name of looking for him to complain. But even then, he still didn't know where the petitioners came from.

After buying a ticket out of his own pocket, Ling Shijie flew back to the provincial capital first, then called a taxi and rushed back to Mei'an. A colleague told him on the phone that Rong Zhongwei had already become furious about the incident, and his temper was getting worse day by day, and that if he delayed for an hour, the anger he would bear when he came back would double. At this time, he can't care about the cost of transportation.

Coming to the door of Nandao Group, Ling Shijie himself was dumbfounded. Is this still the proud Nandao?

I saw that inside and outside the door, there were petitioners sitting on the ground everywhere. What's more, there are also those who use plastic sheeting to build a temporary shack and plan to live for a long time. All kinds of garbage are thrown all over the ground, and the walls are densely covered with phlegm, which makes people feel disgusting. Outside the gate, there are many local residents who have come to see the bustle of Mei'an. Presumably, in the past few days, Nandao has become a scene in Mei'an. In the crowd, Ling Shijie recognized many of his peers, including foreign reporters stationed in Mei'an, as well as reporters who came from provincial cities and other places. The so-called watching the excitement is not a big deal, in the past, it was Nandao who watched others, but now it is his turn to be watched.

Ling Shijie remembered that his colleagues had said that these petitioners were all coming for him. He didn't dare to show his face, so he could only take out a pair of big sunglasses to cover his eyes, and then put his collar up. Blocking half of his face, he walked through the door. Fortunately, after a few days of tossing, the petitioners are tired, and they are no longer in the state of being entangled when they first came to see reporters. In fact, there are not many reporters left in the office building, and everyone has escaped from the newspaper office under various pretexts, saving them from being smoked to death by the smell of sweat and feet.

At the very beginning. When hundreds of petitioners gathered at the Nandao Group, Rong Zhongwei was still pondering the adoption of a policy of appeasement. Mainly to appease. He specially explained that the group's canteen prepared meals for the petitioners, and also set up two boiling water supply points. Who would have thought that the result of this was that the petitioners regarded free meals as a kind of welfare, and not only ate here, but also called their fellow villagers and held a party in Nandao. Further back. The news that Nandao had free meals spread, and even several migrant workers on the construction site in Mei'an rushed over to eat by bus, and while eating, they were picky about the lack of meat in the dishes.

Seeing this situation, Rong Zhongwei quickly changed his original intention and announced that the free meal would only be served once. It is no longer available later. The petitioners had their own way, and when it was time to eat, they still crowded into the cafeteria, and they had to ask the waiter to serve the food around the window. There are also some people who surround the Nandao workers who have already bought food, saying "poor and pitiful" words, or pushing a white and chubby doll in front of them, saying that this child has not seen meat for a week, and ask the uncle and aunt to reward him. The employees of Nandao are all cultural people, how can they stand such an atmosphere, watching the spittle of the petitioners fly directly into their rice bowls, the employees simply don't even want the bowls, throw them on the table and turn away, and there is a cheer behind them.

The work order of the entire Nandao was disrupted, and no one could work. Rong Zhongwei was helpless and called the police, but the police couldn't do anything about these people. People said that they were just here to complain, use you to go to the toilet, and watch your employees eat, is there anything wrong? Aren't you Nandao known as the home of the people, we often go home and go around, why did we break the law?

The most infuriating thing is that a group of reporters from other newspapers are also squatting at the scene, and if the police dare to use violence, it will immediately be a big piece of news. You must know that Nandao has reported on this kind of mass incident more than ten times or eight times, and their position is always on the side of the petitioners, and the police are always wrong. The people's government should allow the people to enter, and the officials should talk to the taxpayers, these are the views that Nandao insists on, and now that the revolution has come to their heads, can they change their words?

Ling Shijie returned to Nandao when he was in such a place, and when Han Bo saw him, he took him to Rong Zhongwei's office without saying a word.

"Ho-ho, our hero is back."

Rong Zhongwei looked at Ling Shijie standing in front of him and sneered coldly.

"Mr. Rong, I ......" Ling Shijie's sweat broke out all over his body. Rong Zhongwei used to be a person with a bit of a sense of humor, but since becoming editor-in-chief, his humor is limited to leaders at the same level, and he can say a few words of encouragement to his subordinates at most, and this is the first time he has said such a witticism. It was precisely because he heard Rong Zhongwei's unprecedented ridicule that Ling Shijie knew to what extent he was hated by the leader, which clearly meant not treating himself as a subordinate.

"Mr. Rong, I really have nothing to do with this matter! Someone must be framing me! Ling Shijie argued loudly for himself.

"Framed you? Why did you frame you? Rong Zhongwei asked, "The group of people in the courtyard kept saying that you were anxious for justice and righteousness, and this was also framed by others?" ”

"Urgent justice and righteousness...... I have put gold on myself, but this has been a matter of several years, and unless someone deliberately turns it out, how can these petitioners see it? Ling Shijie said that he had been analyzing this matter in his mind all the way over, so it was reasonable to say it.

Rong Zhongwei also thought that there should be a black hand behind this matter, otherwise it would be impossible for hundreds of people to appear at the same time. He had thought that perhaps Ling Shijie had written an influential article that attracted these petitioners. But after investigation, Ling Shijie did stay in Xingchuan honestly in this paragraph, tracking the matter of Xiaogang, and did not write anything else. If you queue up for Ling Shijie's own hype, then someone must have framed him.

"Do you think it's not your reason, can you prove it?" Rong Zhongwei asked.

"Okay, I'll go out and confront them right now." Ling Shijie let it go, if he didn't make this matter clear, he would never be able to turn over.

Rong Zhongwei also wanted to figure things out, so he took Han Bo and followed Ling Shijie out of the office and into the corridor.

What used to be a spacious and clean corridor is now a refugee camp. The petitioners sat or lay down, horizontally and vertically. Some people lay on straw mats and snored like thunder, and some people sat in the corner and whispered. What's even more crazy is that there are still a few stalls of mahjong, and everyone is eating and touching, and they are having fun.

"Hey, fellow, I'll ask you something."

Ling Shijie came to a man who was concentrating on picking his feet, squatted down and greeted him.

"What's the matter?" The man asked.

"Why are you here?" Ling Shijie asked.

"Sue ah." The man replied.

"If you sue the court, or go to the government, how did you find this?"

"You don't know? There is a reporter named Ling Shijie in this newspaper, and he has great ability, and everyone says that it is most useful to find him to complain, no, I will come. ”

"This Ling Shijie, do you know each other?"

"Why don't you know it, I know it all when it's burned to ashes."

"Uh......" Ling Shijie was almost choked to death, Nima, Lao Tzu is squatting in front of you, you can't recognize it, what else do you know. Out of self-preservation, of course he would not say that he was Ling Shijie, otherwise the man shouted loudly, and maybe the petitioners would be able to put themselves in a position of eighteen.

"Who did you hear that Ling Shijie has the ability?" Ling Shijie continued to ask.

"Everybody says that."

"Both...... Then there has to be a head, who said that first? ”

"Well, let me think about it...... the man patted his head, "That day, I went to our county to petition, and the gang of turtles and grandsons in the Letters and Visits Bureau said that I was unreasonable and couldn't support it." As soon as I went out, I met a few other old brothers who came to petition, and they told me that there was a reporter in Mei'an, and he liked to help us people the most. ”

"That's how you came?" Ling Shijie asked.

"That can't be." The man said, "I also know where Mei An is, and besides, the train ticket is also expensive." At this time, I met a nobleman, he said that he sympathized with my affairs, was willing to give me the money to go back and forth, gave me 300 yuan, and then I came. ”

"The old brothers you said about petitioning, are there any other nobles, did you know them in the past?" Rong Zhongwei couldn't help but interject, he smelled a smell of conspiracy from the man's story.

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've never seen these people. ”

Leaving this man, Ling Shijie took Rong Zhongwei and Han Bo to investigate seven or eight more people, these people's statements are not the same, but there are some flaws in them, that is, a few so-called "nobles" who appeared out of nowhere. Without the financial support of these nobles, these petitioners would not have come all the way here to try their luck.

"Check!" Rong Zhongwei waved his hand, "Check and see, who is framing our newspaper!" (To be continued......)
