Chapter 24 Speaking on behalf of the people
Liu Tong saw that Li Xiaoning was not good at speaking, so he also sank his face and said: "Look at what the town government has become?" It's no different from a bandit entering the city. Isn't this a disturbance? Isn't this a bad trend? I have heard that if it weren't for the comrades at the police station who took the opportunity to fire two shots into the sky, I am afraid that these thugs would have set fire to your town government. You won't have a chance to talk to me here. ”
Li Xiaoning said: "Secretary Liu, don't jump to conclusions if you don't understand the situation. How can you compare the masses of the people with bandits? The original intention of the masses to come to the town government was not to make trouble, but to demand the return of their fund-raising funds. It was our comrades who did not handle it well and closed the door first, which angered the masses. Later, the comrades at the police station opened fire, which further intensified the conflict, and they tore down the wall. ”
Liu Tong said angrily: "The old man guarding the gate closed the gate, so can't he be asked to open the gate?" Are you going to tear down the wall? Which is this power given to them? This is not a normal appeal of public sentiment, this is a planned and purposeful behavior. The reason why they are so bold is that there must be hostile elements behind them who are supporting and making suggestions. It must be strictly investigated, and it must be investigated to the end. ”
Li Xiaoning was also annoyed, and said loudly: "Secretary Liu, don't go online indiscriminately, the people of Pingshan Town are very simple, if we didn't force them to hand over the funds, this kind of thing would not have happened at all." ”
Liu Tong said with a face: "Let them hand over the fundraising money is also to build roads for them, for their good, and for them to have a good life in the future, what's wrong with the fundraising money?" And that could be a reason for them to besiege the government? ”
Li Xiaoning said calmly: "First of all, I want to remind Secretary Liu again that the masses came to the town government because of the fund-raising matter, not because of the fund-raising to besiege the town government. Secondly, what is the intersection fundraising? Do you know the actual situation in Pingshan Town? You don't know, I can give you literacy. Eighty percent of the people in Pingshan Town have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, and they themselves are not well fed and clothed. ”
"You are choking on food, and according to what you say, the road will not be repaired? Just let Pingshan Town continue to be poor? Continue to discredit the county, the city and even the province? I sue you, Xiao Li, you can't be an official without political achievements. Liu Tong sneered.
Li Xiaoning said: "Of course, the road must be repaired, but we must not make up our minds on the people." For one term as an official, do you want political achievements? Absolutely! But the will of the people is what matters. In this incident, the common people are at fault, but it is a forgivable mistake, because their mistake was caused by our mistake. Our cadres and comrades are the ones who must seriously reflect on why such a serious mistake has been made. ”
Liu Tong was repeatedly bumped by Li Xiaoning in front of everyone, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Xiaoning, and said angrily: "You keep speaking for the people. Let me ask you, are you still not a party member? Do you represent the will of the Party or the will of the people? ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, quickly reached out and grabbed Liu Tong's fingers, and broke them hard, Liu Tong was in pain, and involuntarily knelt down. Li Xiaoning stared at Liu Tong's eyes and said word by word: "Liu Tong." You're damned for that. I can pat my chest and tell you loudly, I am a party member, but you are not worthy. When you put the interests of the party and the people against each other in your thinking, you are no longer worthy of being a party member, because our party must always represent the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people. ”
Liu Tong grinned in pain, but still shouted: "Li Xiaoning, you are so bold, you dare to beat me?" Do you still have organizational discipline? Believe it or not, I can make you fail this mayor at any time. ”
Li Xiaoning glanced at Liu Tong with disdain, and said coldly: "Liu Tong, think about it before you speak, be careful that the wind flashes your tongue, I am not a cadre of your political and legal mouth, and my appointment and dismissal are not up to you." ”
"If you let me go first, I'll call County Magistrate Song to see if you can still be the mayor of this town." Liu Tong stubbornly resisted.
Li Xiaoning sneered, let go of his hand, and made a gesture of please.
Liu Tong rubbed his sore fingers, took out the phone and dialed Song Shijie's phone, and said loudly: "Comrade Shijie, I'm Liu Tong." I've now arrived in Pingshan Town, and the questions here are very strict. Acting Mayor Li Xiaoning is unorganized and undisciplined, inciting the people to threaten the government, which is really bad. My opinion is that Li Xiaoning should be removed from his post immediately and wait for the next punishment! ”
Song Shijie listened to Liu Tong's report, and his head immediately hurt. In fact, Li Xiaoning had already reported to him and Luo Jun first, telling them that they had reached an agreement with the villagers, and the incident had subsided. Unexpectedly, this Liu Tong inserted a pole horizontally and muddied the water again. Now the most important thing in the whole country is harmony and stability, what he, the county magistrate, is most afraid of is the occurrence of group ** cases, and finally Li Xiaoning has been settled, why are you Liu Tong so unenlightened? Besides, who can't you Liu Tong get along with? Do you have to get along with Li Xiaoning? Li Xiaoning is the future son-in-law of the secretary of the provincial party committee, is that your little secretary of the county political and legal committee offended? really annoyed the secretary of the provincial party committee, and even he, the county magistrate, had to walk around without eating, and if he didn't get it right, it was possible that his career would be over.
Of course, it was impossible for Song Shijie to say these words to Liu Tong directly, but said in an embarrassed tone: "This matter is a bit troublesome." Li Xiaoning is a cadre directly sent down from the city, and his organizational ties are still in the Binhai City Party Committee, so we have no right to remove him from his post. ”
"Then suspend him first." Liu Tong said angrily, he didn't expect Song Shijie to play Tai Chi with him.
Song Shijie was also a little unhappy with Liu Tong's lack of enlightenment, so he said in a deep voice: "Comrade Liu Tong, you are an old party member and an old comrade. Why do you still know so little about organizational procedures? Li Xiaoning is the actual mayor of the town and a cadre sent down from the city, and his punishment should be discussed by the Standing Committee. You asked me to suspend him directly, didn't this make me make a mistake of organizational discipline? ”
"But......" Liu Tong was a little anxious, he didn't expect this Li Xiaoning to be so difficult to deal with, even Song Shijie, who had always had a good relationship with him, stood on his side.
Song Shijie also lost patience at this time, and said angrily: "But what? Let me tell you, if you can't punish Li Xiaoning, you can't punish it. How can you be so chattering? Like an old lady? The comrades in Pingshan Town have already reported to me, and the incident has subsided. Come back to me quickly, don't mess around there. After speaking, without waiting for Liu Tong to answer, he hung up the phone with a snap.
Liu Tong held the phone that had been hung up, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and the last few words of the county magistrate Song Shijie just now were so loud that the cadres and the masses next to him could hear them clearly, and some people couldn't hold back and covered their mouths and snickered.
This is a naked slap in the face, Liu Tong knows that he has completely lost to Li Xiaoning today, and even his prestige in the public security system will be greatly reduced in the future, because there are also Meng Fangping, the director of the county public security bureau, and 20 police officers present. I was cleaned up by Li Xiaoning, but I didn't make any moves, how can I mix it up when this is passed out?
After a long while, Liu Tongcai eased up a little, glanced at Li Xiaoning with a complicated expression, and turned around and left without saying a word.
"Secretary Liu, have you forgotten something?" Li Xiaoning coldly stopped Liu Tong.
"What's the matter?" Liu Tong turned around and asked, his face no longer had the arrogance just now.
"You arrested our people from Pingshan Town, can you release them now?" Li Xiaoning said lightly, there was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, but in Liu Tong's eyes, it was full of ridicule and provocation.
Liu Tong had the heart to continue to be tough, but he couldn't beat it, he couldn't say it, it was useless to complain, he only had a weak heart, although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to wave his hand at Meng Fangping helplessly and said, "Release people." ”
Meng Fangping didn't react for a while, and asked with a demented look: "This is it?" It's hard to catch. ”
"If you want to let you go, you can let it go, where is so much nonsense?" Liu Tong suppressed the depression and anger in his stomach and finally found an outlet.
"Look at you, why are you in a hurry? Just put it away. Meng Fangping pouted and said, then said to the police officers behind him: "The leaders have spoken." Don't you want to let people go? ”
As soon as several of the arrested people were freed, they immediately ran over, knelt down in front of Li Xiaoning, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Mayor Li, otherwise if we go to prison, our family will be ruined." "Simple people, can't tell the difference between temporary detention and imprisonment, and the way to express gratitude is so primitive.
This scared Li Xiaoning a lot, he hurriedly mixed a few people and said: "This can't be helped, it's because our work has not been done well." You don't blame you, I'm already grateful. ”
"Mayor Li, you are such a good official! We will all obey you in the future. Several of the people who were arrested gave a thumbs up and said.
Li Xiaoning smiled honestly: "I just did what I should have done." As a party member, I should have spoken on behalf of the interests of the people. By the way, you can't kowtow at every turn in the future, it's a ** society now, and we can't do the old society. ”
Meng Fangping watched the excitement with relish, and Liu Tong walked over with a cold face and said, "Don't you want to leave?" ”
"Let's go?" Meng Fangping still hasn't seen enough, probably because he also wants to enjoy the taste of having someone kneel.
"Don't you go, wait and continue to be embarrassed?" Liu Tong said angrily.
"Look at you, good. I'm in a hurry again. Let's go. Meng Fangping reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and led his subordinates to follow Liu Tong towards the vehicle parked outside.
