Luo Jun's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "We can't pin all our hopes on Li Xiaoning, a young man. In my opinion, Comrade Liu Tong and Comrade Meng Fangping will take the cadres and policemen of the county public security bureau to go down. But you must remember that you go down to calm the situation, not to exacerbate the contradictions, and you must not allow the situation to expand. The central government has three orders and five shen, and the stability is overwhelming. This must be taken seriously. As long as the contradictions can be resolved, the situation can be calmed down, and the feelings of the masses can be stabilized, and other things can be ignored with one eye turned a blind eye. The wall of the town government was torn down, and it was a big deal to rebuild it. It is still necessary to adhere to the principle of turning big things into small things, turning small things into small things, and thinking about stability and unity. ”

Liu Tong stiffened his neck and said, "Secretary Luo, you think too well of those Diao people, they are not so easy to talk at all." It's okay if you want me to go down, but I have to explain it first, the reason makes sense, and if it doesn't make sense, I'll still arrest people. ”

Luo Jun frowned and said, "Whether you can catch people or not, you can do it." However, we must be cautious, attach importance to the factual basis, and resolutely act in accordance with legal procedures. Don't catch the wrong person, that will only add fuel to the fire. ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured." Liu Tong said indifferently.

"Okay. So what's the problem? If not, the meeting will be adjourned. Luo Jun said and closed the notebook.

Meng Fangping answered: "I have a question. ”

"What's the problem?" Luo Jun opened the notebook again.

Meng Fangping touched his head and said: "There are only more than 300 people in our bureau, and the mobile police force is only a few dozen, and there are no special police, and they do not have the ability and experience to deal with this kind of riot. ”

Luo Jun snapped, closed the notebook again, and said angrily: "The meeting is over!" With that, he got up and left.

"Secretary Luo! What should I do if you haven't said my opinion yet! Why did the meeting end? Meng Fangping asked anxiously.

Song Shijie took a pen and nodded at Meng Fangping, and said, "No brain." Then he walked out of the conference room.

"County Magistrate Song, why are you scolding?" Meng Fangping muttered, looking unhappy.

"It's light for him to scold you for having no brains." Liu Tong got up and said with a smile, "When this kind of thing happens, the two of them can't hide it, and they take the initiative to report it to their superiors?" Isn't that self-inflicted? ”

"But I really don't have enough manpower!" Meng Fangping still looked unenlightened.

"But you have a gun!" Liu Tong said, "Chairman Mao's old man said well, power comes out of the barrel of a gun, why are we the government, because we have the barrel of the gun." Let's go. Twenty people are enough. ”

When Li Xiaoning rushed back to the Pingshan town government, the nearly 1,000 peasants gathered in the town government compound still had not dispersed. Everyone was sitting or standing, still excited. The toppled walls and gates were in shambles.

The staff of the county party committee office who drove Li Xiaoning back saw the dense crowd and kindly persuaded: "Mayor Li, don't go over first." Your appointment has not been officially issued, and you are not responsible for this matter, but if you go down, if the situation is not controlled, the matter will be in trouble......"

Li Xiao shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to think about who will take responsibility, the reason why I rushed back overnight is to prevent the situation from expanding, and now that I have arrived at the door, where is there any reason to return?" After saying that, he firmly opened the car door and walked towards the crowd surrounding the town government in front of him......

The staff member of the county party committee office is not very old, and he is also a hot-blooded young man, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder people can become the mayor of the town at a young age, and the courage to take on this responsibility is not comparable to ordinary people." ”

The driver sneered: "I think he's a fool." For others, he can't hide when he encounters such a thing, he prefers to be able to get up to it. After all, he is young and inexperienced. Where is it so easy for these rural people to listen to the truth? Look at it, he suffers! ”

The staff member of the county party committee office squinted at the driver and didn't speak, but he was thinking in his heart: You are a driver, what do you know?

The crowd surrounded the town government, and Li Xiaoning stepped forward and shouted, "Excuse me, I want to go in." ”

People didn't know him, so a middle-aged man with a parted head, wearing a tunic and glasses came up and asked, "Who are you?" What to squeeze into? ”

Li Xiaoning said with a smile: "The place where I live is inside, if you don't go in, there will be no place to sleep tonight!" ”

"You live in it?" The man looked Li Xiaoning up and down, and asked a little disbelievingly, "It's the town government inside." How did you end up living in it? ”

Li Xiaoning stretched out his hand and pointed inward and said, "Isn't there a dormitory in the back?" ”

"Oh. You're a teacher at the town's middle school, aren't you? I'm telling you, don't go in yet. The provincial people will beat you up as a cadre. When the man saw Li Xiaoning's polite appearance, he thought he was a teacher and kindly reminded him.

Li Xiaoning shook his head and said, "I'm not a teacher, I'm just working inside." ”

"Oh, you're in the government too? Did the officials call you? Damn, these officials not only bully us ordinary people, but also you little clerks. If you suffer your own sin, you have to pull on your back. I see that you have a very kind face, which is different from those who are officials, listen to me, don't go in. "That person is also kind, probably because Li Xiaoning is young, thinking that he is just an ordinary clerk.

Li Xiaoning smiled bitterly: "Big brother, I can't go in if I don't go in." They've been calling me, and if I don't go in, they'll not pull me down. If I don't get it right, my job will be ruined. Big brother, you can do it, let me in! ”

"These officials are really not things." The man scolded again, and then said to Li Xiaoning, "There's no problem with letting you in." But they put the door through the inside, how do you get in? ”

Li Xiaoning said with a smile: "Don't worry, when they see me, they will definitely let me in." ”

"That's fine. I'll take you in, but I'll make it clear to you first. In case of a fight, don't say I didn't warn you. The man was also enthusiastic, and immediately squeezed forward with Li Xiaoning.

It can be seen that this middle-aged man with glasses is quite authoritative in the crowd of onlookers, and everyone has made way for him when they see him moving forward.

Soon Li Xiaoning squeezed to the front and saw Zhang Erwa who was surrounded by a group, with a circle of white mucus on his lips, it is estimated that his mouth was dry as he had already said, and there were still a few scratches on his face, and he didn't know who grabbed him.

Li Xiaoning hurriedly squeezed over. When Zhang Erwa saw him, she was immediately relieved, "Mayor Li, you're finally here!" It stands to reason that he, Zhang Erwa, is now the number one in Pingshan Town, but he really can't cope with this situation, so he pins his hopes on Li Xiaoning.

"Mayor Li?"

"Mayor Mare?"

The crowd of onlookers, including the middle-aged man with glasses, was full of doubts, this young man who looked like a student was actually the mayor of the town?

Li Xiaoning jumped on the roof of the jeep next to him and shouted loudly to the crowd, "Brothers farmers! I'm Li Xiaoning, the new mayor of Pingshan Town! Listen to me. ”

For a moment, the crowd was stunned, because they really didn't expect such a young person to be their mayor.

Li Xiaoning took this opportunity and continued: "First of all, I want to apologize to everyone. I, the mayor of the town, did not do a good job, and some cadres in the town made mistakes in their work, causing difficulties for everyone, and it was our fault! With that, he bent down and bowed deeply to the crowd.

This time, people were even more stunned. The officials have always been high-minded, and a small clerk has shouted at the people, how have they ever seen the officials apologize to the people? And the mayor of the town personally apologized?

The life circle of the common people in Pingshan Town is very closed, and the mayor is a very big official in their minds. And they all came to solve the problem, and now that this mayor is different from other officials, they are all willing to listen to what he has to say first.

Li Xiaoning continued: "Brothers, farmers! I understand your feelings. The burden on you is already very heavy, and we should never raise funds from you again, let alone forcibly collect them. You should be angry. I understand you. I assure you that all the funds collected will be refunded in the original amount, and any other losses will be compensated according to the price. And in the future, we will never do anything like this that increases the burden on the people. In addition, we will not investigate your damage to the public property of the town government this time. ”

"Mayor Xiao Li, what you say sounds comfortable, we have nothing else to do today, as long as the town government refunds our fund-raising funds, we will go back immediately." The middle-aged man with glasses said loudly.

"The money must be returned." Li Xiaoning said cleanly, "But you can't do this now, you are gathering people to make trouble, and you are breaking the law and committing crimes." And you're all gathered here, and the government can't do anything, and I can't find a clue if I want to refund you. Isn't it your time that is delayed? In this way, you will disperse first, and tomorrow you will go to the town government one by one to collect the money from the village as a unit. ”

"Don't try to fool us! You officials, you never make drafts when you lie. Drag it out today tomorrow, and tomorrow can drag it out the day after tomorrow! We won't be fooled again this time, if you don't give us money today, we will never leave! A stout young man in the crowd shouted.

"Yes, if we don't give money today, we won't leave!" The surrounding crowd immediately responded, and the emotions that had just subsided suddenly surged again.
