Chen Xing and a few people stood on the side of the road, wanting to wait for this group of people to pass, but they didn't think that someone in the crowd saw them, and they didn't know who shouted, 'That's the mayor yesterday', everyone stopped, and before Chen Xing and a few people could react, they were surrounded by everyone.

The villagers' feelings were very excited, their voices were noisy, mixed with crying, Chen Xing and the others listened carefully before they heard clearly that many people were shouting 'return their lives' and the like, Xiao Yuanqing, Deng Qingming, and Li Yong all stood in front of Chen Xing, desperately blocking forward, for fear that Chen Xing would be squeezed by the villagers who were excited.

Chen Xing was a little stunned, he didn't know what was going on, Xiao Yuanqing took the lead and shouted at the crowd, "Folks, if there is anything to say, don't push forward, excitement can't solve the problem, Mayor Chen is here, everyone can say anything, don't squeeze forward." ”

"The people in your government are all liars, who dares to believe your words now, you officials know that you are careless about people's lives, yesterday we were deceived by his clever words, and said that they wanted to help us solve the problem, as a result, the police were transferred to beat people, and arrested people, the Song family boy was arrested by you and died in one night, he must have been killed by your people, one life for another, you have to pay for your life, today you yourself sent to the door, don't want to leave, we have no hope of living in this place, If you don't want to give up this life, you have to seek justice for the Song family, and if you have the ability, you can hurry up all of us. A man in his forties in the crowd stood up, pointed at Chen Xing and said angrily, "Even if you are the mayor, we are not afraid of you." ”

Chen Xing listened to what the other party said, in addition to doubts, don't mention the greasy crookedness in his heart, he gave Li Haocheng the black pot, yesterday Li Haocheng instructed the anti-riot brigade of the Public Security Bureau to take tough action against the villagers and was misunderstood by the villagers as his meaning, Chen Xing was helpless and pathetic, and the villagers blamed him right, in the eyes of the other party, Chen Xing and others must be officials and officials, he is the mayor of the government, although Li Haocheng's behavior is a personal act, but how can the villagers understand it like that, they will only think that this is a government action, It's normal for him, the mayor, to be blamed.

Xiao Yuanqing looked back at Chen Xing in surprise at this time, he didn't know what happened to the villagers saying that someone died, at this moment the villagers were very angry, Xiao Yuanqing and the three of them had a hard time blocking the villagers from coming forward, seeing Chen Xing glance at him, the experienced Xiao Yuanqing quickly understood what Chen Xing meant, turned his head and said loudly to the villagers, "Calm down, Mayor Chen is here today to learn about the pollution situation, he really wants to solve the problem for you, otherwise he would have come to you?" You should also know your situation, the air stinks, the water stinks, and the environment is not ordinarily bad, if Mayor Chen is not trying to solve the problem for you, why should he come down and suffer? ”

With Xiao Yuanqing's shouting, some villagers who were a little more rational didn't shout anymore, except for a few people who were crying and the people gathered around them, the other people's voices were much quieter, Xiao Yuanqing's words were very straightforward, the villagers could easily understand them, and Xiao Yuanqing's words also made sense, Chen Xing was the mayor, there was no need to run to them to suffer.

"What did you say that someone was caught and died overnight?" Chen Xing only opened his mouth at this time, "I am in a hurry to come to you today, I don't know what you said, I am here, you don't have to be afraid that I will run away, if you trust me, you can tell me." ”

The villagers looked at each other, and after a while, a person next to him touched the man who was in his fifties and looked grief-stricken, "Old Song, since he said so, then you can tell him, he dares to cheat, and we have many people around him, so we don't have to be afraid of him running away." ”

The man named Lao Song was so sad that he couldn't speak, and a forty-year-old next to him stood up, "We are Song Yi's relatives, this is my eldest brother, and Song Yi's father, I am Song Yi's second uncle, our family Song Yi was arrested by your public security bureau yesterday morning, only one night later, just now your public security bureau called, saying that it is our family Song Yi died, since you are the mayor, then I will ask you for an explanation, our family Song Yi was arrested in a good manner, and he said that he died every other night, it must have been done by your people, We want justice, and if you don't give us an explanation, we will not only go to the province to complain, but also go to the central government to file a complaint. ”

"Caught by the Public Security Bureau and died in one night?" Chen Xing was shocked when he heard this, he knew that the Public Security Bureau had arrested a few people on the scene yesterday, but he still couldn't believe it when he heard this situation at this moment, "You guys are not mistaken? ”

"How can you be mistaken, it was someone from the Public Security Bureau who called your home to inform you, how can you be mistaken, what do you mean by that, do you want to say that there is no such thing." The man said angrily with red eyes.

"That's not what I meant." Chen Xing frowned and glanced at the secretary Deng Qingming, "Xiao Deng, you can call the Public Security Bureau to ask." ”

Chen Xing instructed Deng Qingming, and the driver Li Yong was also not idle, and carefully pulled Xiao Yuanqing to take a step back and said, "Director Xiao, do you want to call the people from the Nangang District Bureau and ask them to send some police over, otherwise I am worried about the mayor's safety." ”

"Yes, you're right." Xiao Yuanqing nodded, the villagers were excited, if they were unreasonable, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not do anything impulsive, just like these three people faced hundreds of villagers, there was no way to guarantee Chen Xing's safety, in front of so many people, Xiao Yuanqing did not dare to call, he did not have the phone number of the person in charge of the Nangang District Public Security Bureau, but the phone number of Jiang Wenjin, director of the district government office, Xiao Yuanqing took out his mobile phone and quietly sent a text message to the other party.

Deng Qingming quickly confirmed the news from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and quickly told Chen Xing about the situation, a young man named Song Yi died in the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau. ”

"What you said is indeed the truth, although I don't know what the matter is yet, but for the death of your relatives, I am here to apologize to you on behalf of the city government, and I will let people check this matter after I go back and give you a satisfactory explanation." After Chen Xing finished speaking, he bowed very sincerely to the villagers.

Chen Xing's action obviously frightened the man, subconsciously took a step back, his expression was a little frightened, in his cognition, the official is always a high look, he is a common man who looks at those officials with admiration and awe, that is, the officials in the town, he feels that it is out of reach, let the official bow to himself, for him, it is really a bit of a fantasy, he didn't even dare to imagine it before, at this time it was the mayor who bowed to him, so that he was a little helpless, Hurriedly stood back beside Song Yi's father.

"You are the father of that Song Yi, I don't fully understand the situation about your son yet, when I return to the city, if there is anything else hidden in this matter, our city will definitely set up an investigation team to investigate this matter, and I will give you and your family a satisfactory answer." Chen Xing looked at the man with a sad face and didn't speak from beginning to end, the other party was only in his early fifties, but his face was full of wrinkles, Chen Xing sympathized with the other party, and also felt grief, this is the tragedy of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person.

"The Public Security Bureau is also your government agency, who knows if you will shield them, and then you can give us an explanation casually, how do we know if what you say is true or false." A villager next to him shouted.

"Oh, so how do you think you have to believe it? You can say and listen, as long as what you say is reasonable, we will also accept it with an open mind. Chen Xing looked at the person who spoke, dealing with the villagers, Chen Xing only grasped one point, that is, he was calm and put himself in the same position as the other party, instead of feeling that he was superior.

"This, this ......" The person who spoke was looked at by Chen Xing, but he didn't know what to say, he shrank back, he was just prejudiced and dissatisfied with the people in the government, but he didn't expect Chen Xing to be so kind.

Chen Xing glanced around at the people present, he could guess without thinking about it, the villagers must have organized themselves to go to the Public Security Bureau, to seek justice for the dead person, Chen Xing did not agree with this method, this would only make things more and more stiff, frowning slightly, Chen Xing said, "I think you should go to the Public Security Bureau now, you see if this is good, you go back today, as long as this matter is investigated clearly, I will let people give you news as soon as possible, as long as Song Yi's death is really strange, We will investigate and give you justice. ”

Chen Xing's words seemed to have had an effect, and the villagers whispered, except for Song Yi's family and relatives who wanted to go to the public security bureau to deal with the aftermath, everyone else was also talking about whether it was necessary to go to the public security bureau.

"Do you think that your rhetoric can deceive us, you officials are the officials who protect each other, the higher the officials, the more you can't believe what you say, don't think that you can send us away by saying some good things today, and then send someone to arrest people later, what did you say yesterday morning, didn't you say a lot of nice things at the beginning, as soon as the police arrived, you changed your face, and arrested people at every turn, today is only a few of you here, so you say good things, wait for the police to come, you haven't changed your face the same." A young man shouted again.

Seeing that the villagers were a little moved by what he said, and suddenly someone made such a voice, Chen Xing was also quite helpless at the moment, the other party's words were not necessarily unreasonable, yesterday morning's events were there, and he, the mayor, failed to prevent the final result from happening, and the villagers naturally could not understand the contradictions and struggles within the government, in their eyes, he, the mayor, must be able to manage the police, but the police finally arrested people, and the villagers were right to settle the accounts on his head.

"Yes, the government is going to give us an explanation today, don't think that we ordinary people are easy to bully, and when we become officials, we can ride on our heads and make a fortune. Today it was Song Yi who was beaten to death by your people in the Public Security Bureau, and tomorrow I don't know which one, you treat us like this, and we are not afraid to fight with you, anyway, we are waiting for death in this place, we are cheap, we are not afraid of you, see who is afraid of death. Some people in the crowd echoed the words of the young man just now, and when it came to the living environment, the feelings of the villagers were also aroused little by little.

"Let's be quiet and listen to me." Chen Xing saw that the scene was a little chaotic again, and hurriedly shouted loudly, seeing that everyone was attracted by his words, Chen Xing continued, "I can understand everyone's feelings, if I live in such a place, I will be the same as you, for the death of the young man named Song Yi, I still say what I said just now, I am also very sad, the city will definitely investigate, not to mention you, even if it is me, I will not let such a thing go." ”

"You are a leader, of course you speak well, but what's the use of what you can say, Song Yi was killed by you in the Public Security Bureau, how do you explain this? We don't want to hear you talk about any big truths, we just want you to give an explanation for Song Yi's death, Song Yi is the only high-achieving student here, he is studying for a doctorate in the capital, this time he rushed back for the sake of the village, hoping to help the people in the village to ask for an explanation, so that the government can pay attention to our situation here, and the result has become like this, you see that there are two gray-haired old parents left, and there is a younger sister who wants to go to school at home, we can't watch it, you don't always say something useless, we want to see the actual action. Someone among the villagers shouted.

"Yes, you don't talk about these irrelevant things, today we just need you to give an explanation, and we don't care about the rest." Someone chimed in.

"I'm here now, how can you see me in action? Song Yi's death, I have already said, as long as there is another hidden reason in this matter, I can promise you here, once the investigation is clear, the relevant responsible persons will be severely punished, and you will not be disappointed. Chen Xing smiled bitterly.

"Our family Xiaoyi died in the Public Security Bureau, what else is there to investigate, it must have been killed by someone from the Public Security Bureau, you said that you want to investigate, what results can be investigated at that time, you must be covering up your own people, and you will be dragging it until then, saying that the murderer cannot be found, what year and month do you want us to wait, do you want to wait until our two old bones step into the coffin, you will be gone." A woman next to Song Yi's father cried bitterly, Chen Xing heard the other party's words and knew that it was Song Yi's mother, and he could only sigh in his heart, the other party couldn't say anything too radical, and anyone who encountered such a thing couldn't stay calm.

Xiao Yuanqing watched Chen Xing's patient conversation with the villagers in the back, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, Xiao Yuanqing knew that Chen Xing was sympathetic to the villagers, and deep down he also wanted to make decisions for the villagers, but Xiao Yuanqing thought that sometimes it was not a way to be too reasonable with these villagers, just like now, it didn't make sense, at this time Xiao Yuanqing was also secretly anxious, he was worried about Chen Xing's safety, for fear that the villagers would have some radical actions, and his eyes looked at the road in the distance from time to time, Xiao Yuanqing secretly scolded the people in Nangang District for being so inefficient. Even if you ask the town's police station to send someone over quickly, you should be there.
