Up and down, Wang Guohua's wearing is very simple, the leather shoes are newly bought by the old man years ago, and the jacket is bought in the first year of work. Wu Yan is a simple pair of black trousers, a black woolen sweater, and a light blue vest. This dress looks much old-fashioned. Wu Yan's careful preparation was obviously done in vain, and Wang Guohua didn't care about these at all. Women have the right to dress themselves, and whether men appreciate it or not is another question.

When he got into the car, Wang Guohua was holding a book in his hand and reading it, Wu Yan looked back several times and found that Wang Guohua was actually reading a book of "Analects". Wu Yan felt strange in his heart, how could he still read this kind of book as a leader? As soon as he thought of "The Analects", an old master shook his head and read Zi Yue in Wu Yan's mind, thinking that Wang Guohua was talking about the whole book and a half months, just like a party cadre.

When Wang Guohua was looking at it, the car slowed down suddenly, which interrupted Wang Guohua's mood of reading, and looked up: "What's the matter?" ”

"There's a pit in front of you, it's not small." Gao Sheng didn't look back, and drove carefully over the potholes on the road in front of him. The car shook, Wang Guohua wanted to roll down the window and take a look.

"Why hasn't anyone built this road? What does the Transportation Bureau do for food? Looking at the pit on the road that is at least one meter wide, and there is still stagnant water in it, Wang Guohua said to himself, Wu Yan heard it and immediately said: "This pit has existed for at least a year, and no one cares about it, this road is the only passage to Tianjing Township." ”

Wang Guohua didn't say anything, looking at the many people on both sides of the road, his brows furrowed even more. After the car crossed the pothole, the road condition was a little better, and if you looked closely, you could see that the road had been left unattended for a while, and the asphalt had evaporated very badly, exposing the stones inside.

"There are still five miles to get to the township political axe, do you want to go to the political axe first, or what do you say?" Wu Yan asked in a low voice, and Wang Guohua said lightly: "Don't alarm the people in the township first, find a place to park, and go down and talk about it." ”

Wu Yan smiled, pointed to the book in Wang Guohua's hand and said, "Secretary Wang, what do you think of this book?" ”

Wang Guohua looked at the book in his hand in surprise and said, "What's wrong with this book?" Immediately reflecting Wu Yan's thoughts, he said lightly: "Don't underestimate Confucian thoughts, if you don't listen to a word, many officials now are not as good as some officials in ancient times." ”

Outside the town, a striking-looking five-story building stands out next to the roadside, surrounded by a red-brick wall. The fence looks a little old, and there are a lot of trees planted inside and out. It is clear that the building is newly built.

Gao Sheng slowed down, Wang Guohua said lightly: "Go find a place to park inside, and come back again." ”

Tianjing Township is an old street, and there is an ancient well guarded by a fence on the side of the supply and marketing cooperatives in the middle section, which looks a little old, and there is a tablet on the side, and most of the handwriting is blurred. Wang Guohua squatted down and took a closer look, and vaguely saw the words "Ming" and "Hongwu". This is probably how the town got its name.

"Today is not a market, if you come every Friday, it will be lively here, and people can't crowd it." followed Wang Guohua for a walk on the short street, and Wu Yan introduced him while walking. Wang Guohua's eyes were more focused on the cement paved street, which looked much stronger than the road he had just walked.

"The secretary of Tianjing Township is called Tian Hu, a cadre who has been transferred from the army. The deputy director of the county public security bureau, who had worked for a period of time, has only been the secretary of the township party committee for more than a year, and he is about 42 years old this year. Wu Yan dutifully introduced the situation, Wang Guohua seemed to be listening, but he didn't seem to be listening.

Walking about 500 meters from the street to the township axe, Wang Guohua did not get into the car and walked away. Before I walked to the door of the township axe, I saw some people around the gate of the courtyard watching the excitement. There were not many onlookers, and there were more than a dozen of them, and Wang Guohua stepped forward, and it was easy to see what was happening inside.

A young woman in an old cotton jacket, holding a child of six or seven years old, was begging for something with a man who came out of the yard. The man was in his thirties, his expression and tone were very impatient, and he said loudly in front of everyone: "Xie, don't talk about it again, when will your family hand over the retention money, and when will we release him." This is what Secretary Tian said, and it is useless for anyone to intercede. ”

Hearing the words "retention money", Wang Guohua's brows furrowed. He is a farmer and knows how the township collects this money. After the man finished speaking, he shouted at everyone: "What do you see? What's there to see? ”

The young woman named Xie watched the people enter the courtyard, but did not follow in, but took the child to the side of the road and stood quietly. The onlookers saw that there was nothing to look at, and they gradually dispersed, and a few people even greeted the woman and said: "Go back, it's not a matter of standing with this, Secretary Tian's words always count." ”

"Mom, I'm hungry." The child whispered, and the young woman took out a vegetable poop from the plastic bag she was carrying and handed it to the child, and whispered to the child: "Let's wait for Dad to come home together, and Mom will make you something to eat." "The child is honest when he has food, squatting on the ground to eat steamed buns, and he is quite smiling and happy. The young woman held on to the tree by the side of the road with one hand, lowered her head and covered her face, and after a while she wiped her eyes and raised her head.

Seeing a young man standing in front of him, Xie looked a little nervous and gently took the child into his arms.

"This eldest sister, can you tell me what's going on in your family?" Wang Guohua smiled and asked in a low voice, the young woman looked even more nervous, and waved her hand again and again: "It's okay, it's nothing." ”

At this time, Wu Yan came up and smiled: "Big sister, don't be afraid. This is the leader of the county, if you have any grievances, just tell him. ”

Hearing this, Wang Guohua turned his head and glared at Wu Yan without speaking, Wu Yan still smiled and said, "Secretary Wang, your accent is wrong." Let me ask. ”

The young woman hesitated, looked at Wang Guohua cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Are you really the leader of the county?" ”

Wang Guohua said with a smile: "I am Wang Guohua, deputy secretary of the county party committee and executive deputy county magistrate, and I have just been transferred from other places. ”

The young woman looked at Wu Yan again, and Wu Yan smiled at her encouragingly: "Just say what you have, the leader won't blame you." ”

The young woman nodded vigorously, her originally blank expression seemed to see hope, wiped her uncontrollable tears and said to Wu Yan: "This eldest sister of the leader, it's not that we don't want to pay the retention money, our father-in-law suffered a cerebral hemorrhage a year ago, and he was almost not saved." All the belongings in the family were smashed inside, and the pigs and cattle in the family were taken away by the village, leaving only three earthen houses. The child's father went to intercede with the village party secretary, saying that he would go to work in other places after the New Year, and he would earn money to pay back. Unexpectedly, the village directly arrested people from the township, saying that his father violently resisted the law. This is really a big wrong, our family is honest, the child and his father can't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks, how dare you resist the law? When I heard about this, I took the child to see the child's father, and I heard that I was Zhang Sanlong's daughter-in-law, and I didn't even call the door in, just asked me to go back and make money. I'm a woman, where can I get money? I wondered if the township leaders could release the people first and let his father go out to earn money. People don't die, debts don't rot, our family is here, and we pay it back slowly. ”

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of it, with a dark face, and when he saw Xie talking to someone, he came over and said loudly: "Xie, your Zhang Sanlong resists the political axe, don't think about it this time if you don't close it for ten days or eight days." This man was in his forties, his eyes were dripping around Xie's stretch, and he put on a serious look, but it was difficult to hide the possessiveness in his eyes. Wang Guohua noticed that although Xie was a little poorly dressed, he was quite beautiful, and his figure was difficult to hide his slenderness under the cover of the old cotton clothes.

After saying thanks, the man turned his head to Wang Guohua and said, "Who are you?" Don't be nosy, do what you need to do. ”

Seeing that this person was quite arrogant, Gao Sheng behind Wang Guohua was annoyed, and he stepped forward but was stopped by Wang Guohua. Wang Guohua asked the man with a gloomy face, "Who are you?" Why should I leave it alone? I'm telling you, I'm still in charge of this. ”

Xie begged the man in a low voice on the side: "Zhang Zhishu, you can do well, help talk and release the three dragons." This Zhang Zhishu, in front of Wang Guohua, actually grabbed Xie's hand and touched it: "Ah, as long as you are obedient, I will definitely help." ”

Gao Sheng couldn't help it at all on the side, and strode forward, this time Wang Guohua really didn't stop him, and saw Gao Sheng stretching out his hand, the eagle grabbed Zhang Zhishu's neck like a chicken, and dragged it back and said: "Shameless!" ”

"Well, how do you beat people?" Zhang Zhishu also called twice, and soon shut up completely, Gao Sheng's murderous eyes were too terrifying.

Wang Guohua thanked him: "This eldest sister, you go in with me, let's see your husband first before anything else." ”

Saying that, Wang Guohuaxin walked inside, and Wu Yan pulled Xie He, who was a little hesitant, to follow. Gao Sheng twisted Zhang Zhishu's neck with one hand, making him speechless, his face was flushed, and he raised his hand to slap him and said, "Get out!" ”

Zhang Zhishu was fanned out three or five steps, sat on the ground with one butt, and wanted to shout to meet Gao Sheng's cold and piercing gaze, so he reached out and covered his mouth in fright. Wang Guohua walked in the head and strode to the foot of the political axe building, and the man who was talking to Xie at the door just now appeared again, stopping the group: "What are you doing?" What for? Is there any royal law? Do you know what this place is? How to break in? ”

Wu Yan came up from behind and sneered at the man: "Director Zhang, you have a long ability, and the leaders of the county dare to stop you?" ”

"What? Leaders in the county? Director Zhang was stunned, but he recognized Wu Yan, and quickly nodded and smiled: "Director Wu, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”
