After the meeting of the party and government groups in the township, Yue Haohan and Li Qinggui rushed to the village headquarters of Zhaojiazhuang Village with a large group of people from the township.

Fan Jiaxue and Sun Jie persuaded everyone in the crowd and asked everyone to go back to rest as soon as possible, and Wang Wenhua and Zheng Ziyan of Jiangnan Daily also assisted Fan Jiaxue and the two of them, doing ideological work for the masses.

When Yue Haohan saw Wang Wenhua and Zheng Ziyan, he shook hands with Wang Wenhua and said hello, then looked at Zheng Ziyan and asked, "Ziyan, you came to Jiangyang, why don't you say hello in advance or say a word?" I haven't been home yet. The words revealed sincere concern for Zheng Ziyan.

Zheng Ziyan smiled mischievously and replied: "Brother Haohan, I greeted you when I was in Jianghan, I said that maybe one day I would go to Guihuaping Township for an unannounced visit, and this will not come; Yesterday, Director Wang and I happened to be interviewing in Fangshan County, and after hearing about the bloody case in Zhaojiazhuang Village, the two of us came directly from Fangshan. ”

After a few simple greetings, Yue Haohan assigned the cadres from the township to let everyone go separately to do mass work and make some arrangements, and then instructed Fan Jiaxue and Sun Jie: "Jiaxue, Xiao Sun, you two take the car in the township to send Director Wang and Reporter Zheng of Zhongnan Daily to the Wangshan Management Area to rest. ”

Sending Wang Wenhua and Zheng Ziyan away, the cadres of Guihuaping Township separated the masses gathered together, persuaded them, and everyone was busy until more than 11 o'clock in the night, and then persuaded the masses to go home one after another.

The next day, on the square in front of the village headquarters of Zhaojiazhuang Village, two or three hundred villagers, young and old, gathered again, and a few villagers held white banners that read, "Give us justice, return our hard-earned money." Give us back our lives! "Yanshan Radio Station is an accomplice to murder!"

Some people in the crowd shouted: "Let's go to Yanshan, go to the city government, people can't just die in vain!" "The cadres in Guihuaping Township, according to the division of labor the night before, respectively found the masses of their own households, and persuaded everyone to prevent the situation from deteriorating.

At more than eight o'clock in the morning, most of the villagers were persuaded to go home again, Yue Haohan just breathed a sigh of relief, Zheng Ziyan, who rushed from the Wangshan Management Area, shouted Yue Haohan aside, and said: "Brother Haohan, when I was in the management area just now, I got in touch with a classmate who worked in the Jianghan Evening News, and he said that the report of the evening newspaper had come out, and on the front page, there were also photos, entitled "Villager Dispute Caused Blood, Five Dead and One Injured, Whose Fault?" 》。 "What? Villager disputes cause blood? Isn't this nonsense? Yue Haohan heard this, and burst out very angrily.

Zheng Ziyan looked at Yue Haohan with concern and said, "Brother Haohan, why don't you quickly contact the Propaganda Department of your county party committee, let the Propaganda Department report to the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee in an official caliber, and report the details of the incident to the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee; I estimate that as soon as today's Jianghan Evening News comes out, the Zhaojiazhuang bloody case will cause a sensation in the whole province. ”

Yue Haohan thought about it and thought that Zheng Ziyan's suggestion was very good, so he went to the village office and hung up the phone to the Propaganda Department of the county party committee.

Coming out of the village office, Wang Wenhua of Zhongnan Daily found Yue Haohan and said: "Secretary Yue, I and Ziyan jointly wrote a press release, but we can only send it back to the agency today, and we can only see the newspaper tomorrow. In addition, Ziyan and I want to stay in Jiangyang for a few more days, and we plan to visit a few more towns and towns to interview Jiangyang's peasants from a deeper level. ”

Yue Haohan said: "Then thank you, Director Wang, I will report to the Propaganda Department in a while, and let them send someone to accompany you, so that you can also take care of the interview in the township; In addition, for the safety of the two of you, when you go to the township, I will find Director Ning of the Xia County Public Security Bureau and ask them to arrange for a plainclothes policeman to accompany you. ”

Wang Wenhua said with a smile: "No need, just send a comrade from the Propaganda Department to follow us and be a guide for us, I have traveled to so many places in the province with Ziyan, and basically we have not notified the local area, isn't it good for us to do this." ”

Yue Haohan said: "It's better to be careful, if you encounter a wicked person like Zhao Guihua and his son, what will you do?" If these people knew that you were supporting the people, would they not be in trouble with you? ”

Hearing Yue Haohan say this, Wang Wenhua no longer shirked, took out the written press release from his backpack, handed it to Yue Haohan, and said: "Secretary Yue, you are familiar with the situation, you can first look at the first draft we wrote to see what parts still need to be added or subtracted." “

Yue Haohan said: "Your Director Wang is a well-known senior reporter, who has been paying attention to the "three rural" area, and can be said to be an expert in the "three rural" area. ”

Wang Wenhua said: "This article was only written in response to the distorted reports of the evening newspaper and Yanshan Radio, so as to set the record straight, and in addition, I also plan to meet with the person in charge of the public security bureau in charge of the case, learn about the details, and prepare to write an internal reference to report the cause and effect of the entire case, so that the higher-level leaders can know the truth and let the leaders know that this case was caused by the problem of the peasants' burdens." ”

Yue Haohan said: "This is great, I can take you back to the countryside in the afternoon, and first go to meet Director Ning Haiping who is in charge of the case, as long as the internal reference is sent out, the higher-level leaders will understand the truth of the case and will pay more attention to the problem of the burden on the peasants; Thank you so much, Director Wang! ”

The title of Wang Wenhua's press release was "Evil Village Chief Retaliates and Kills, Villager Representative Dies." It is not long, but it succinctly writes the reasons and process of the case, and writes about the extreme ferocity of Zhao Guihua's father and son.

After Yue Haohan read it, he handed the manuscript to Wang Wenhua and said, "Director Wang, this is seeking truth from facts, and this report is the truth." ”

While the two were chatting, Zhao Jiahe, secretary of the branch of Zhaojiazhuang Village, came in and said, "Secretary Yue, just now the township party and government office called and said that a joint investigation team has come from the city and county, so you should rush back to the township as soon as possible." “

"The Joint Investigation Team? What to investigate? Zhaojiazhuang bloody case? Yue Haohan wondered in his heart.

Wang Wenhua next to him said: "Secretary Yue, the investigation team is coming, I'm afraid it will be very unfavorable to you, the person who came is not good, I will accompany Ziyan back to the township with you, first, fax the press release back to the agency as soon as possible, and second, we want to meet Director Ning and learn some details of the case from him." “

Yue Haohan took Wang Wenhua and Zheng Ziyan back to the township, and first sent the two to the police station Ning Haiping to understand the situation; Only then did he return to the township government, in the reception room of the township government, Hou Ximing, deputy secretary of the township party committee, was accompanying Chang Huaiming, secretary of the county Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhu Fumin, deputy director of the Organization Department, and a few other unfamiliar faces, sitting there drinking tea.

Chang Huaiming glanced at the door and said in a low voice: "Haohan, those comrades are sent by Yanshan City, after the bloody case in Zhaojiazhuang Village yesterday, some people reported to Yanshan City and the county that the occurrence of the bloody case was mainly caused by you organizing the clean-up of village-level accounts in the whole township, and if it were not for the clearing of accounts, the contradictions between the villagers and the village committee would not have been intensified, and there would have been no such bloody case." ”

Hearing Chang Huaiming say this, Yue Haohan was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, but his mouth opened, and finally he didn't swear anymore, he thought about it and asked, "Secretary Chang, what does the investigation team mainly want to investigate?" ”

"I didn't say what exactly was being investigated, but before I came, the Standing Committee members at home held a temporary Standing Committee, and at the meeting, it was decided to suspend you for investigation first, and the township head Li Qinggui was temporarily responsible for the affairs of the township." Chang Huaiming replied in a low and hoarse voice.

The relationship between Chang Huaiming and Yue Haohan is not good, nor is it bad, before Chen Guoyun was transferred to Fangshan County, in the county party committee, Chang Huaiming and Chen Guoyun are in the same camp, Chen Guoyun is very good to Yue Haohan, and supports and cultivates Yue Haohan everywhere, therefore, Chang Huaiming naturally cares about Yue Haohan very much, but since Chen Guoyun was transferred, there is less contact between the two, and the relationship seems to be much more indifferent than before.

After Tongyue Haohan briefly explained his intentions, Chang Huaiming got up and said: "The comrades from Yanshan City said, first check the minutes of the meeting since you became the secretary of the township party committee and the documents under the township party committee, then visit the township units and some village groups, and then select a few representative villages, hold a mass forum, and finally meet and talk with you, it is estimated that the investigation team will need a week here. ”

Yue Haohan said: "Secretary Chang, can I leave the township this week?" ”

Chang Huaiming smiled and said: "You are just suspended, from now on, don't ask about things at work, but you are free, the investigation is over, and I will definitely be notified in advance if I talk to you." ”

After talking, Yue Haohan accompanied Chang Huaiming to the reception room next door, and greeted the investigators from Yanshan City and the personnel from the county one by one, and then returned to his office, ready to pack up his things and go back to Jiangyang in the afternoon.

Regarding the suspension, Yue Haohan looked at it very indifferently, he had been in Guihuaping Township for less than two months, and the first thing he did was to rectify the work style of the organs, and the results achieved were obvious; The second is to check the accounts at the village level, which is not wrong; What can the investigation team find? I don't want to say that village-level finances shouldn't be cleaned up.

Yue Haohan sat quietly in the office for a while, and Hou Ximing, deputy secretary of the township party committee, came in, sat down on the sofa and said, "Secretary Yue, how can this be?" What's next? I'm afraid that if the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang Village know about the news of your suspension, I guess I won't be able to stop it when I go to Yanshan City Radio to ask for an explanation. ”

Yue Haohan said: "Secretary Hou, please tell Township Chief Li that you should try to do more work among the masses, and there should be no mass incidents, and you should also worry more about it, since I have been suspended, it is not good to meddle in some things." “

"Alas, I didn't expect Zhao Guihua and his son to be so vicious, how could they put such a person in the position of director of the village committee in the first place!" Hou Ximing shook his head and said with a sigh. In fact, Hou Ximing deliberately said this, he wanted Yue Haohan to know that Zhao Guihua could become the director of the village committee, and it was inseparable from the former secretary Jia Dequan and the township head Li Qinggui.

Yue Haohan simply packed up the supplies in the office, got up and told Hou Ximing: "I will go to the police station first, I will not accompany the people of the investigation team, you will tell Li Jian, the driver of the Education Commission, and ask him to drive the car to the police station, and I will go back to Jiangyang in the afternoon." ”

The matter of Yue Haohan's suspension for investigation soon spread to Zhaojiazhuang Village, and after the villagers knew about it, they became impetuous again, and the cadres of Guihuaping Township who stayed in the village could no longer persuade everyone no matter what, and at noon, dozens of villagers had already rushed to Yanshan City.
