Jiang Tao can become his partner, Ji Zhengxiang is very happy in his heart, he has watched Jiang Tao grow up step by step, he has fatherly feelings for Jiang Tao, he believes that Jiang Tao will help him build Zhangning County into a beautiful and rich land.

This morning was the first time that Jiang Tao attended the standing committee of the county party committee as acting county magistrate.

Ji Zhengxiang's mood was very good: "Let's welcome Comrade Jiang Tao to become the acting county magistrate with warm applause!" ”

Thinking of the warm applause in the small conference room, it was impossible to tell who was sincere and who was false from the applause, and the Standing Committee members looked at the young county magistrate in front of them, each with their own ideas.

"Comrade Jiang Tao! Do you want to say a few words? Ji Zhengxiang asked.

"Standing Committee members, leaders, to be honest, sitting in this position I am very frightened, you are all my predecessors, I am just a chance to become the acting county magistrate, on qualifications, ability I am far from meeting the requirements, I hope you will actively cooperate with me in the future work, help me, and build our Zhangning County more beautiful, rich and strong! Thank you! Jiang Tao is very low-key, he knows very well in his heart that he is too young after all, and individual Standing Committee members will definitely be unhappy, so let's see it at work, it's useless to just say it nicely!

At this time, a staff member of the county party committee office hurriedly pushed the door and walked in, he walked up to Ji Zhengxiang and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What!" The water cup in Ji Zhengxiang's hand fell to the floor and shattered with a "pop", and Ji Zhengxiang stood up.

"Comrades! I just received an unfortunate news, there was a big accident in the bath of the county fertilizer plant, ammonia leaked into the bath, causing casualties, and now the death toll is still uncertain, I decided to immediately set up an accident investigation and handling team, I am the team leader, Comrade Jiang Tao is the deputy team leader, and other comrades are team members, and immediately rush to the scene! Ji Zhengxiang said eagerly.

Everyone was stunned by this news, and they all stood up and followed Ji Zhengxiang and Jiang Tao to the door.

"Secretary Ji! Comrade Liu Renjie should be asked to immediately send someone to cordon off the scene, and the criminal investigation department should intervene in the investigation. Jiang Tao said to Ji Zhengxiang as he walked.

"Okay, you look at the arrangement, I didn't expect you to give you a dismissal as soon as you took office." Ji Zhengxiang said.

"Secretary Liu, you immediately order the scene to be blocked, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and the criminal investigation department can investigate and collect evidence." Jiang Tao said to Liu Renjie, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau.

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away! ”

"County Magistrate Song, you immediately notify all hospitals in the county, prepare to receive the wounded, and all ambulances will be on standby at the fertilizer plant." Jiang Tao said to Song Qingshu.

"Okay, I'll let you know right away!" Song Qingshu replied.

Seeing that Jiang Tao was in danger and orderly, Ji Zhengxiang was very relieved, and he had an extra strong arm.

When the group arrived at the bath of the county fertilizer factory, they were stunned by the tragic scene in front of them, on the wet floor of the men's bathroom, there were more than a dozen stiff and white* corpses, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of ammonia.

A few timid Standing Committee members quietly retreated behind everyone, and Ji Zhengxiang asked sharply: "Is Director Wang Chongxin here?" ”

"I'm here." Wang Chongxin, the director of the factory, walked up to Ji Zhengxiang in fear.

"Are there any wounded? Have all these people been checked? Ji Zhengxiang asked.

"There are also a few injured people, all of whom have been sent to the county hospital, and this time there are no signs of life." Wang Chongxin was about to cry, how could such a big accident let himself be put on the shelf.

"Director Wang, you immediately arrange for someone to find some clean sheets to cover the bodies of the victims, move them to a clean house, and wait for the forensic examination by the public security department." Jiang Tao said.

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away. Wang Chongxin looked at Jiang Tao suspiciously, he didn't know the identity of this person, but when he saw him standing beside Secretary Ji, he hurriedly agreed to make arrangements.

Forensic and on-site inquest technicians from the Public Security Bureau came.

"Secretary Ji, shall we go to the conference room?" Jiang Tao whispered that he was afraid of affecting the work of the comrades of the Public Security Bureau.

"Okay."

Ji Zhengxiang, Jiang Tao and others entered the conference room of the county fertilizer plant together.

"Director Wang, how did the accident happen? How many casualties were there? Ji Zhengxiang asked.

"Secretary Ji, the ammonia pressure broke the valve, and the ammonia was strung into the hot gas pipe leading to the men's bath, and the workers on shift were taking a bath, and as a result, ammonia poisoning, there was an accident, and so far eleven people have died, and more than ten people have been sent to the hospital for rescue." Wang Chongxin whispered.

"What about the wounded in the hospital? Are there any more dead? Ji Zhengxiang asked.

"The situation at the hospital is not clear at this time." Wang Chongxin replied.

"Director Wang, what about the workers who are responsible for reading the pressure gauge?" Jiang Tao asked.

"It's still on the shop floor." Wang Chongxin replied.

"Secretary Liu! Control the person immediately. Jiang Tao said to Liu Renjie.

"Yes!" Liu Renzhuo went to arrange it.

"Secretary Ji, do we want to report to the Jibei Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government immediately?" Jiang Tao asked.

Ji Zhengxiang was very hesitant in his heart, such a big safety accident had a great impact on Zhangning County, if he reported it truthfully, would he bear any responsibility? Jiang Tao has just taken office, and it will not have any effect on him.

"Secretary Ji, I think I can underreport a few?" Hao Qun, deputy secretary of the county party committee, said.

"Yes, Secretary Ji, this number is too big, I'm afraid I will be held accountable if I report it truthfully." Wang Qinguang, director of the county people's congress, echoed.

Liu Renjie and Song Qingshu didn't speak, they were looking at Jiang Tao, wondering what Jiang Tao's opinion was.

Wang Chongxin saw that the leaders were discussing the handling of the accident, and hurriedly withdrew.

"I think this accident is purely an accident, as long as it is not a man-made accident, the leadership responsibility will be smaller, can you be more flexible when investigating?" Zhang Tiangui, Minister of the Organization Department, said.

Jiang Tao encountered such a big thing when he first took office, and he didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing before.

"Secretary Ji, there are so many casualties, I'm afraid it's hard to hide it, although our network here is not very developed, but once someone posts something on the Internet, we are very passive." Jiang Tao said.

Ji Zhengxiang also scratched his head, as the head of Zhangning County, the decision-making power is in his hands, although there have been casualties before, but the matter is not so big, he is very conflicted in his heart, and keeps smoking.

"Secretary Ji, the most important thing at the moment is not the problem of whether to report or not, but the problem of stability, I suggest that the emergency plan for safety accidents be activated immediately, notify the families of the victims, let the comrades of the Public Security Bureau make emergency preparations, prevent people from taking advantage of this accident to make trouble, and let the fertilizer plant come up with specific compensation opinions and standards as soon as possible to quickly settle the matter." Jiang Tao said.

Ji Zhengxiang has always admired Jiang Tao's political sensitivity, and it is better to listen to Jiang Tao than to avoid this kind of thing, maybe things will take a turn for the better.

"I see that the standing committee members of the county are all there, let's vote by a show of hands, I propose that Comrade Jiang Tao be fully responsible for the handling of this safety accident, and report the death toll to the Jibei Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and everyone should raise their hands to vote. Comrades who agree with this opinion, please raise your hand! After Ji Zhengxiang finished speaking, he was the first to raise his hand.

Jiang Tao then also raised his hand, and Song Qingshu, deputy county magistrate, Liu Renjie, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Jia Dongan, political commissar of the Ministry of Armed Forces, also raised their hands.

Several other members of the Standing Committee saw that the first and second leaders agreed, and they didn't want to be this villain, so they hesitated and raised their hands.

"Good! Unanimous vote! Comrade Jiang Tao, you are fully responsible for this matter, and we will discuss any problems in a timely manner. Ji Zhengxiang said.

"Okay, I obey the organization's decision and ask Secretary Liu Renjie to stay and cooperate with me to do this work." Jiang Tao said that he knew in his heart that if he didn't handle it well this time, maybe at the end of the year, the people's congress at the end of the year, and he, the acting county magistrate, would be the end.

The other members of the Standing Committee are most happy to see this result, they can get rid of themselves, they are better than anything else, this kind of thing is too sensitive, and if it is not handled well, it will form a group ** case.

Ji Zhengxiang said: "County Magistrate Jiang, you and Secretary Liu stayed to deal with the accident, and I and other members of the Standing Committee went to the hospital to see the injured." ”

Ji Zhengxiang led the other members of the Standing Committee to leave, and Jiang Tao said to Liu Renjie with a wry smile: "I'm sorry Secretary Liu, I dragged you in." ”

"County Magistrate Jiang, what are you talking about, stable work is originally our public security business, rest assured, I will fully cooperate with you, you can arrange it." Liu Renjie said.

Jiang Tao sent someone to call the factory director Wang Chongxin in: "Director Wang, how is the situation in the hospital?" ”

"County Magistrate Jiang, just got the news that two more seriously injured people died." Wang Chongxin said with a sad face, he already knew that the young man in front of him was the newly appointed county magistrate Jiang Tao.

"How many people have died so far?" Jiang Tao asked.

"Thirteen." Wang Chongxin replied.

"Tell the hospital to do everything to save the other wounded, use the best medicine, and resolutely not let another person die." Jiang Tao emphasized.

"Yes! I went to the hospital right away. Wang Chongxin said.

"Secretary Liu, I want the news media to intervene in advance and tell the truth of the accident to the masses, rather than letting people talk behind their backs, it is better to make it public, and the masses have the right to know." Jiang Tao said to Liu Renjie.

"I agree! Your method is good, and you can gag many people's mouths. Liu Renjie admired Jiang Tao's wisdom and courage, some leaders always wanted to hide something, but in the end, everyone knew about it, and it didn't end well.

"The cause of death of each victim must be clarified, and the family must be informed in writing, and the family members are from other places to arrange for their food and lodging, and in addition, more police forces should be arranged at the scene and in the hotel where they stay, so as to prevent accidents." Jiang Tao said.

"Hmmm! I have already arranged for the security brigade and the nearby police station to rush over, and I will be transferred if there are not enough personnel. Liu Renjie said.

"What did the worker in charge of the pressure gauge say?" Jiang Tao asked.

"The investigators are still interrogating." Liu Renjie replied.

"If it is a responsible accident, it must be criminally detained and the victims must be given an explanation."

"Understood!"

Meng Xiangbin, secretary of the Jibei Municipal Party Committee, and Cao Hongshan, the mayor of Jibei City, respectively received reports from Zhangning County, and both of them were shocked, so many people died at one time, and such an accident is rare in the country.

Meng Xiangbin immediately convened a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to report the accident, and while reporting to the Provincial Party Committee, he and Cao Hongshan set off for Zhangning County.

Huang Qingzeng, secretary of the provincial party committee, was holding a meeting in Beijing, and upon hearing the news, he immediately instructed Ma Aimin, vice governor in charge of industry, to rush to Zhangning County to guide the handling of the accident.

Soon Zhangning TV interrupted the broadcast of other programs, and reported on the scene that the safety accident that killed many people, and for a while, the entire Zhangning County and even the whole province were discussing, but some people were secretly happy in their hearts: Haha! God-given opportunity, the opportunity to overthrow Jiang Tao has come!
