Chapter 1 EPA Petitioners
"Severely punish polluting enterprises, and return my Kyushu rivers and green mountains and clear waters!"
"Bojiao Sugar Factory destroyed my home, and the Environmental Protection Bureau is not the master of the people!"
"The rivers are polluted, the fishermen are out of harvest, I want to explain!"
The crooked blood-colored characters were crooked, and the ink flowed down like the weeping tears of the Jiuqu River. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liancheng, the entrance of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau has been blocked by a group of brave farmers at this time, and the 10-meter banner with shocking red characters written on it is held high. In front of them were more than a dozen baskets, full of stinky fish and shrimp.
The police maintained order with a blank face, surrounded by crowds of onlookers, pointing at the stinky fish, and from time to time someone took pictures with their mobile phones.
Li Jing stood at the window and watched such a scene, he was the environmental inspector of the third squadron of the supervision brigade of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, and he was responsible for the environmental monitoring of Bojiao Town.
However, he was helpless, although he was the environmental inspector of Bojiao Town, this Bojiao Sugar Factory was not ordinary, not only did it raise a group of bullies in the town, but it also had great power in the city. The environmental monitoring business of the factory is directly responsible for Liu Peng, the squadron leader, and it is not his turn to intervene at all.
Two days ago, when he passed downstream, he saw a large amount of sugarcane waste floating on the river, and the water source had become a pale inky color, emitting an unpleasant smell, and the pollution situation was very obvious. He secretly collected some water quality back to the bureau for testing, and found that the chemical oxygen demand and biochemical oxygen demand in the water were seriously exceeded, and the excess value was even more than 50 times the passing standard.
However, when he took the test data and sent it to the director's office, the director was first startled, and then said in a warning tone: "Xiao Li, you just came to our bureau and don't know the situation." This Bojiao Sugar Factory is not as simple as you think, and it is not yet the time to investigate...... In short, if you still want to stay in the bureau to work, you must not mention this matter again in the future, as for the situation of the sugar factory's discharge, I will report to the higher authorities and restrain them to reduce emissions. ”
Touching the scar on his face, which was still faintly painful, Li Jing clenched his fists for a while.
I don't know who leaked the news, but when he got off work yesterday, he was taken away by a few thugs, dragged to the alley and beaten up. These people are cold and cruel, and their unscrupulous posture is like the sky of this city.
The owner of Bojiao Sugar Factory is named Zhang Biao, but everyone calls him Big Eyes Biao behind his back, and the locals are all afraid of mentioning this name.
A native of Bojiao Town, the richest man in Liancheng, a well-known entrepreneur, and behind all kinds of glamorous titles, there is an extremely dirty side. is not only the Bojiao Sugar Factory that directly discharges sewage and waste residue, but also has loan sharks, casinos, vulgar clubs, etc. to measure gray income, and the captive gangsters are the basis for his hegemony. If you are not convinced, a WeChat can have more than 100 people come to your house as guests.
There is even gossip that because of business disputes, Big Eyes Biao once shot and killed someone, and the police could not find evidence.
It is conceivable that its energy is so great that it seems to be the king of Lian Cheng, and what he says is the law of Lian Cheng. In the face of such a behemoth, Li Jing felt powerless. He is not a bad person, but he is still uneasy and resentful when he sees so many fishermen losing their fortunes and the Kyushu River being polluted to the point that even aquatic plants cannot survive.
"Li Jing, the director asked you to go down and report to the masses on the investigation of the Bojiao Sugar Factory." Su Min from the reception desk ran upstairs to greet Li Jing, his eyes full of sympathy and helplessness.
“…… Good! Li Jing replied in a muffled voice and followed her downstairs, but his mood was heavy.
Someone has to come out and take responsibility for something, and he is the environmental inspector of Bojiao Town, and he is also a suitable person. The third squadron leader Liu Peng, who is also his boss, is actually more suitable to come forward, at least an official, but he knows that it is a mess that cannot be solved, and anyone who touches it will be stained with a fishy smell, Liu Peng naturally avoided it, and he had already gone out to inspect the environment early, and even turned off his mobile phone, no one knew where he was now.
There were more than 100 visitors, and although there were security guards and police who used human walls to stop the riots, their angry gazes still frightened Li Jing. But behind him, there were leaders such as the bureau chief, the team leader, and the squadron leader who looked at him dryly, and he had no way to retreat at all, and came to the front of the masses with a tight face.
Taking a deep breath, Li Jingcai said loudly: "Fellow villagers, please be quiet. ”
The crowd gradually calmed down and looked at Li Jing with unkind eyes.
Under pressure, Li Jing had no choice but to speak: "My name is Li Jing, and I am an inspector of the Third Squadron of the Supervision Brigade of the Environmental Protection Bureau, responsible for the environmental monitoring work in the Bojiao and Xiayang areas. We've already started investigating your feedback. After investigation, it was confirmed that the sewage of the Kyushu River came from residents on both sides of the river, mainly due to the improper discharge of sewage from family workshops and domestic garbage, and the sewage discharge of Bojiao Sugar Factory reached the national standard ......"
"Smash him!"
The crowd in front couldn't listen anymore, and they didn't know which one shouted, and the smelly dead fish had already smashed on Li Jing's face.
Li Jing could have hidden, but he didn't, so he lowered his head and let countless dead fish fall on his body and face, the flesh of the fish was rotten and mixed with the fishy smell of industrial sewage, which almost suffocated him.
Fortunately, these people are flesh and blood, although they are angry and hateful, but at least they are not as cruel and indifferent as those gangsters, and they don't dodge when they see Li Jing so embarrassed, and they don't feel very embarrassed, so they gradually stopped smashing fish. If Li Jing showed anger, they would not be considerate of the manic ones, the family business had been destroyed, and they didn't care about pulling on the back of a man who ate public food.
The kindness of people and the helplessness of life make them what officials call 'Diao Min'. If it weren't for the desperation, who would have come here to demonstrate without anything? Who will jump off a building and jump into a river? Using one's own reason to judge a person who has been cornered is in itself an injustice.
"Calm down, calm down, everyone, listen to me first." Director Song He finally came out of it to save the scene.
Li Jing wiped the stains on his face with his clothes, but it was difficult to hide the smell, and even he hated it.
"No matter where the source of pollution comes from, we are confident that we will be able to return a piece of green water to everyone! But please give us a little time, after all, pollution control is not just about removing the garbage above, we still have a lot of work to do, and there is still a long way to go! ”
Song He has a lot of money, and he looks loyal and honest, these people don't have so much scheming, and they are half convinced.
But Li Jing next to him knew that Song He's words were actually not determined, but more of a procrastination. And when the people asked, they just smiled and nodded, or responded softly, and dealt with it with Tai Chi. Song He obviously knew that it was impossible for these people to run here every day, and he also knew that it was impossible to investigate the sugar factory for the time being.
After a while, the two sides also got closer, and when they saw that there was an old man in the crowd, Song He opened his mouth and closed his mouth to call the elder brother, and asked Zhang Min to send tea and snacks to wait, and when they were finally willing to leave, they did not dislike the hands of a few old people at all, and even personally sent the three-wheeled motorcycle at the door.
"Brother, often come to supervise the work!" Song He waved loudly to see off all the petitioners, and then withdrew his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Director Song is kind to others, does not have a bit of official arrogance to mingle with the petitioners, easily resolves petitioner disputes, and has outstanding ability, which is admirable." A new young man from the propaganda department is serious.
Song He's face was bland, and the traces of patting the horse were too obvious, if he didn't like it, he would have to keep a low profile. Then he looked at Li Jing, pinched his nose without a trace and said, "Li Jing, you did well today." Men, a little grievance is nothing, they all endure humiliation and bear the burden like this. If you can be sleek, you have a good future...... In this case, I will give you a day off today and go back to washing. ”
No one can stand this smell, and the people next to him are far away, either despised, or disgusted, and jealous that he is appreciated by the director. But Li Jing didn't seem to smell it, and he didn't pay attention to the strange eyes around him, and he responded numbly and left the Environmental Protection Bureau in a disfigured.
