It has been more than a month since Jianghan returned to Jiangyang, the solar calendar has entered the ninety-second year, the lunar calendar is reaching the midwinter wax moon, the Spring Festival is approaching day by day, in the past month, Yue Haohan accompanied the county party secretary Gu Zhengshan several times to the countryside to visit several poor households, and then Gu Zhengshan took Tao Chunxiao to Jianghan and Yanshan to pay New Year's greetings to the superior leaders in advance.

Chen Guoyun has already taken up his post in Fangshan County, and Chen Guoyun's departure has obviously broken the balance of power in Jiangyang County; after returning from study for more than a month, Yue Haohan has observed that the mentality of the Standing Committee members is undergoing subtle changes, and there seem to be signs of all kinds of infighting and secret fighting between Gu Zhengshan, secretary of the county party committee, and Feng Mingjiang, the county magistrate.

After Chen Guoyun left, the position of deputy secretary of the county party committee has not been confirmed for a long time, and there are all kinds of rumors in Jiangyang. Some people say that Wang Haijiang, the executive deputy county magistrate, is very active and may take over the post of deputy secretary of the county party committee; Some people also said that Chang Huaiming, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, should take over according to his qualifications, and there are rumors that Fang Guoqiang, the head of the organization, is also staring at that position.

Yue Haohan clearly felt in private that after Chen Guoyun left, some people in the county party committee compound saw him, and they obviously did not have the enthusiasm they had before; Even the heads of many departments directly under the county government, when they went to the county party committee to do things, they did not find various reasons to go to their offices to chat for a while, it seems that their foundation is still too shallow.

I am still floating duckweed in the compound of the county party committee!

After breakfast on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, Yue Haohan arrived at the office early, just cleaned up the desk, poured a cup of tea, sat down and looked at the ninety-two years to reduce the burden of farmers reported by several townships, at this time, the phone on the desk rang rapidly, Yue Haohan reached out to pick up the microphone, and the low voice of Gu Zhengshan, secretary of the county party committee, came from it: "Haohan, there is a mass incident in Guihuaping Township, you take the people from the burden reduction office to Guihuaping Township to deal with it, don't let the situation expand." ”

Putting down the phone, Yue Haohan thought to himself, this year is coming, what kind of group events will there be? Gu Zhengshan didn't make it clear on the phone, and wanted to ask Song Fusheng, director of the county party committee office, but suddenly remembered that Song Fusheng also went to Yanshan City yesterday afternoon; Yue Haohan got up and was about to inform Xu Zhengzhi of the Political Research Office to go to Guihuaping Township with him, when the phone on the desk rang again, Yue Haohan grabbed the phone, "Hey", and the eager voice of the county magistrate Feng Mingjiang came from the receiver and said: "Haohan, do you know that there is a group incident in Guihuaping Township?" ”

Yue Haohan said: "County Magistrate Feng, I just knew, Secretary Gu called just now, and only said that there was a group incident in Guihuaping Township, and asked me to rush over with the people from the burden reduction office, I don't know the specific situation." ”

Feng Mingjiang said: "Li Famin, a villager of Zhuzilin Village in Guihuaping Township, because he owed three mentions and five unifications for several years, went to the village to assist the township government in collecting money and detained the person, but Li Famin didn't know what was wrong, and committed suicide in the detention room of the police station last night. I don't know the specific details, you rush over with the comrades of the Public Security Bureau to deal with it, try not to let the situation expand, the Spring Festival is about to begin, how can this kind of thing happen! ”

Putting down the phone, Yue Haohan thought to himself, what is going on, isn't it a repeated order to prevent the police from participating in the collection of taxes and fees and three mentions and five unifications? How did Guihuaping Township do it, and let the villagers commit suicide in the police station? Isn't this a blatant mess? It seems that the issue of peasants' burdens is really a big problem that cannot be ignored.

When Yue Haohan took Xu Zhengzhi and Ning Haiping, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and his party to the Guihuaping Township Government, he saw a lot of villagers shouting and burning paper money in the courtyard of the township government.

Yue Haohan let the car stop outside the gate of the township government, the office of the Guihuaping Township Government is two rows of red brick and wood structure bungalows in front and back, Yue Haohan looked through the car window, the small yard was full of relatives of the deceased with white filial piety cloth, and the villagers who rushed to see the excitement nearby, crying, firecrackers one after another, a mess.

Yue Haohan, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, did not get out of the car immediately, turned his head and said to Ning Haiping and Xu Zhengzhi, who were sitting in the back of the car: "Let's go to the courtyard of the township government to see the situation first, and learn more about what happened. ”

After arranging, the group got out of the car and walked into the township government compound, and saw that the coffin containing the deceased was parked at the door of the township party and government office, and many wreaths were placed around the coffin, and a group of men and women wearing white filial piety cloth were burning paper for the deceased in front of the coffin; When the group was found to have entered the courtyard, the people in front of the coffin surrounded them, and they were extremely emotional, and said nonsense: "The county leaders are here, you must give us an explanation, killing people pays for their lives, Li Famin did not commit suicide, he was beaten to death by the police at the police station!" ”

A woman about thirty years old, dressed in filial piety, with a one-year-old child in her arms, rushed to Yue Haohan and his party, knelt down on her knees, and cried loudly. The cry was very desolate and sad.

Yue Haohan stood there motionless with a sad expression, not knowing how to persuade him, and said in his heart: "This may be the wife and children of the deceased Li Famin." ”

After a brief pause, Yue Haohan felt that it was really inappropriate to stand like this, turned his head and glanced at Ning Haiping beside him, hurriedly bent down, and helped the woman up with Ning Haiping.

In the crowd that came around, an old man in his sixties beckoned several other women, helped the woman to sit next to the coffin just now, and then squeezed to Yue Haohan again, and said with a sad expression: "Which of you is the leader, I am the father of the deceased Li Famin, my name is Li Mantang, you go over and take a look, Famin is covered in injuries; This is completely the revenge of Jia Dequan, the secretary of the township party committee of Dog Day, who killed our family and the people! ”

As he spoke, Li Mantang couldn't help crying loudly, several relatives stepped forward and pulled Yue Haohan and his entourage, pushing towards the location where the coffin was parked, and several young people were even more busy lifting the lid of the coffin, shouting for Yue Haohan to check the injuries on the deceased's body.

Li Qinggui, the head of Guihuaping Township, saw the family members of the deceased pulling and pushing Yue Haohan and others, hurriedly rushed over, squeezed into the crowd, and persuaded the family members, Li Qinggui's voice was a little hoarse, but he still raised his voice and said to Li Mantang: "Third uncle, this is Director Yue of the county party committee office, who specially rushed over to deal with the affairs of the people, you let everyone get out of the way, we will report the matter to Director Yue and them in detail first, it is not a matter for you to make trouble like this." ”

"I also report a fart, I want Judd to pay for his life on a dog day, and his dog day is revenge!"

"That's right! Let Judd come and scold the guy next door, where is he hiding in the dog's day, and beat him to death! ”

Several young people in their thirties in the crowd shouted loudly, very emotional.

Township Mayor Li Qinggui raised his hoarse voice again and scolded: "Dog, aren't you messy enough? Everyone is very sad when this incident happens, but the matter has to be solved after all, what are you fooling around here? ”

The young man who called the dog choked Li Qinggui with a stalk on his neck and said, "Fifth uncle, do you still have the surname Li?" Why do you always turn your elbows outward? Talking to that bastard Judd? Uncle Seven can't die like this, Uncle Six rushed back and had to clean you up, do you think you will be baked by Niu B when you are this little township chief, why don't you Niu B go to Judd in front of the cow? ”

Seeing that the scene began to be chaotic, Li Mantang stopped crying, turned his head to look at the dog Dan standing in the crowd, choked up and said: "Dog Dan, don't make a fuss, let's wait for the county leaders to give an explanation, if it is not handled well, we will carry the coffin of the Fa Min to the county government compound!" ”

The cause and effect of the incident were quickly understood. In May, Jia Dequan took the personnel of the Township Family Planning Office to Zhuzilin Village to clean up the family planning fine, and Li Famin owed more than 6,000 yuan in family planning fines because he had one child and was unable to hand it over; As a result, Jia Dequan ordered the accompanying personnel of the family planning office and management area to take away the only farming cow of Li Famin's family and sell it for payment.

When the staff of the family planning office pulled the cattle, Li Famin chased the special team until the township government, and along the way he carried the name of Jia Dequan, secretary of the township party committee, and scolded him, and when he arrived at the township government, Li Famin forcibly broke into Jia Dequan's office because of his emotion, and smashed the desk and chair, and the township party and government office called the police station, and the police from the police station arrived, controlled Li Famin, and detained him for a week before returning home. Li Famin would chase and scold, and sometimes he would pick up the stones on the ground and throw them at Jia Dequan, which made Jia Dequan have a headache; Li Famin has also become a difficult "Diao Min" in Jia Dequan's mind.

The day before yesterday, Jia Dequan took the township government's special class for tax collection and went to Zhuzilin Village again, and when he heard that Li Famin still owed more than 1,000 yuan for the three mentions and five unifications, he immediately decided to take the special class to Li Famin's house; When he was about to arrive at Li Famin's house, Li Famin, who was returning home from the back mountain beam, found Jia Dequan and his party, so he picked up a stone on the ground, and while scolding, he threw the stone in his hand at Jia Dequan and his party, but the stone just hit Jia Dequan and smashed Jia Dequan's legs.

In the detention room of the police station, several policemen on duty at night and the assistant police hired by the police station felt bored on duty, so they took Li Famin to have fun and took turns to punish Li Famin.

In the morning, when the cooks at the police station delivered food to Li Famin, they found that Li Famin was hanging under the window, and the person was already cold and stiff, and the cooks panicked and hurriedly reported the situation to the director Sun Mingyuan, who organized people to send Li Famin's body to the township health center, and the doctor checked it and determined that the person had already died.

After Sun Mingyuan felt that he was in a big trouble, and reported the situation to Jia Dequan, secretary of the township party committee, and Li Qinggui, the head of the township, Jia Dequan instructed the police station to notify the family members to come to the township health center to claim the body.

After understanding the situation clearly, in the conference room of the township government, Yue Haohan asked Ning Haiping: "Director Ning, when did your Public Security Bureau know about this matter?" ”

Ning Haiping stared at Sun Mingyuan, the director of the police station who was sitting opposite, deaf and pulling his head, and said, "Director Yue, I only learned about this incident after being notified by the county party committee office and the government office, and the police station did not report it to the county public security bureau before. ”

Yue Haohan frowned, glanced at the people in the conference room with a serious face, and said, "I will first make three points, first, I will report the details to Secretary Gu and County Magistrate Feng. Second, Director You Ning reported the situation to Comrade Jin Tao, director of the Public Security Bureau, and asked Director Jin to contact the comrades of the county procuratorate to rush over immediately, and at the same time arranged for Deputy Director Jiang Fengping to bring relevant personnel from the forensic and technical brigades of the Public Security Bureau to also rush over to conduct an autopsy on the deceased. Third, Li Qinggui, head of Guihuaping Township, organized the township government staff to do a good job in comforting the families of the deceased and the masses, and not to allow the situation to expand. ”

When Jin Tao, director of the Public Security Bureau, rushed to Guihuaping Township with the forensic doctors from the procuratorate and the Public Security Bureau, it was already close to noon, and when the forensic doctors were about to open the coffin for an autopsy, Li Mantang and other family members of the deceased began to get excited again, and refused to allow the forensic doctor to conduct the autopsy, and demanded that Jia Dequan, secretary of the township party committee, be present.

The stalemate lasted until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when a military off-road vehicle drove into the courtyard of the township government, and when they saw the car, the family members in front of Li Famin's coffin all surrounded it at once, and after the military off-road vehicle stopped steadily, four soldiers got out of the car, headed by a colonel about 40 years old.

Seeing the colonel, Li Goudan shouted loudly: "Sixth uncle, why did you come back!" Uncle Seventh died so miserably, you have to be the master of Uncle Seven! ”

Under the guidance of the township magistrate Li Qinggui, Yue Haohan greeted the place where several soldiers were standing, and as he walked, Li Qinggui introduced Yue Haohan in a low voice and said: "Famin's elder brother Fa Jun is back, the French army in Beijing is the regiment commander, in our generation, I am the fifth, he is the sixth, the deceased Fa Min is the seventh, and my uncle is the two sons of him and Famin. ”
