Chapter 9: The Battle of Tongues

Zhou Dazhuang became more and more at a loss, but he didn't dare to slack off, and rushed to the gate of the first middle school in a hurry.

Zhou Dazhuang can also be regarded as a person who has been in the officialdom for many years, although he has never seen Li Xiaoning, but when he looks at the situation at the scene, he knows which one is the newly appointed county magistrate. walked straight to Li Xiaoning, put his legs together, saluted and said, "County Magistrate Li, Zhou Dazhuang of the County Public Security Bureau has been ordered to arrive, please instruct." ”

Li Xiaoning glanced at Zhou Dazhuang and said coldly: "Director Zhou, you are a good soldier." Zhou Dazhuang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, glared fiercely at the middle-aged policeman who was already frightened, bowed his head and said: "County Magistrate Li, I review with you, I can't manage the team well, after I go back, I will immediately carry out rectification activities, strictly investigate the relevant responsible persons to the end, the punishment of the punishment, the removal of the dismissal." Li Xiaoning considered that he had just taken office, and it was not appropriate to be too domineering, and Zhou Dazhuang's attitude was indeed good, so his face softened slightly, nodded and said: "Director Zhou, the Public Security Bureau bears the heavy burden of maintaining social order, and it should be the protector of the people, not the protector of the underworld." The quality of the public security contingent must be improved, and we must not let the common people point at our backbone and scold us because of the existence of a few black sheep. Da Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this level had passed for the time being, so he quickly nodded yes, and then turned his head to the policemen and scolded angrily: "Why are you embarrassed here, go back for me, and suspend me for reflection." The policemen were pardoned and immediately walked away.

Gao Fei saw that the momentum was not right, and he also wanted to sneak out, where would Zhou Dazhuang let go of this opportunity to express himself to Li Xiaoning, he immediately turned around and said to the several policemen behind him: "Take them all back and be investigated." ”

Although this small episode was solved, Li Xiaoning saw from this small incident that the public security environment in Xinpi County was not good, and gang-related forces were still rampant, so he decided that his first fire in office would start with cracking down on gangsters. It is necessary to launch a strike-hard campaign throughout the county to restore a stable and peaceful living environment to the common people.

Of course, an action of this scale does not count if you say it alone, and it still has to be discussed by the Standing Committee. In order to be able to follow the resolution of the Standing Committee, after sending Guan Yalin away, Li Xiaoning did his homework, he checked the files of the Public Security Bureau, and visited many people to learn in detail about the current problem of gangs in Xinpi County. Then he personally worked out a strike hard plan.

But Li Xiaoning obviously misjudged the shape in front of him, he was not in Pingshan Town or Jinsha Town now. When he was in Pingshan Town, the party secretary stood on the same line with him; When he was in Jinsha Town, he was the leader of the Eight Classics. The most important thing is that Liu Qifeng was standing behind him at that time, so his ideas were easy to turn into action.

But now in Xinpi County, it is different, he is just a newly appointed acting county magistrate, the number one Lian Yu is full of resistance to him, and he does not have strong leadership support behind him now.

Therefore, at the Standing Committee, Li Xiaoning had just put forward a strike hard plan, but he was strongly suppressed by Lian Yu, who knocked on the table and said angrily: "What's the matter? As the secretary of the county party committee and the leader of the Standing Committee, why did I bring such a heavy plan to the Standing Committee for discussion without knowing anything in advance, whether the organizational procedures were still necessary, and whether there was any organizational discipline? ”

Li Xiaoning couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and argued: "Public security work originally belongs to the scope of government work, and as a county magistrate, I have an unshirkable responsibility; Moreover, before that, I also communicated with Comrade He Zhongguo, member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Comrade Zhou Dazhuang, Director of the Public Security Bureau. I took it to the Standing Committee for discussion, and I didn't directly implement it without discussion, so I don't understand how this violates organizational procedures. ”

Lian Yu turned his gaze to He Zhongguo, He Zhongguo smiled awkwardly, and made a mud again, "This matter Xiaoning County Magistrate told me, I don't know that he didn't report to Secretary Lian, I also think that Pingchuan City has just carried out a thorough crackdown, and it is not very appropriate to mention the crackdown on crime at this time......"

"Alright, I got it!" Lian Yu rudely interrupted He Zhongguo's words, and said with a cold face, "Since it has been proposed, let's discuss it." "Lian Yu is fearless, Li Xiaoning has just arrived, and he has not yet established his own network, most of the Standing Committee is his people, and a few people will only choose neutrality and abstain from voting, and will not stand on Li Xiaoning's side.

Lian Yu's attitude has already made his position clear. In fact, Lian Yu is not concerned about whether it is necessary to fight gangsters, but whether his power will be threatened. As long as Li Xiaoning put forward a plan, he must not be made known to the Standing Committee, otherwise his prestige will be greatly damaged. As for whether the plan will pass or not, and what impact it will have on the people, Lian Yu doesn't care at all.

As soon as Lian Yu's words fell, Yao Donglin, the executive deputy county magistrate, couldn't wait to open fire, "I think this plan is very problematic. The city just organized a special crackdown on organized crime last year, and now it is cracking down hard, what is going on? Do you want to argue with the city? Does that mean that the city's anti-gang operation has failed? In this way, you will make mistakes, and you will be punished. County Magistrate Li, I think you are still too young, and if you do this, you are harming the interests of our Xinpi County in the first place, and you are roasting Secretary Lian on the fire! I really don't know if you're really confused, or if you did it on purpose. Because Li Xiaoning snatched his position as the county magistrate, Yao Donglin had already held his breath, and he naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity when he finally caught the opportunity, and he didn't even read the content of the strike hard plan, so he pointed the finger at Li Xiaoning.

Li Xiaoning immediately retorted: "Has County Magistrate Yao taken this strike hard plan seriously? I have made it clear in my plan that the city's special anti-crime campaign has achieved great results. The living environment of the common people has been greatly improved compared with the past, but there are still fish that have slipped through the net, and there is a trend of resurgence of gang-related groups and behaviors. Moreover, the city has made it clear that it will not tolerate gang-related behaviors, and that we will establish a long-term mechanism if we find them together, crack down on them, find a group, crack down on them, and ask us to establish a long-term mechanism. Our current strike hard campaign is precisely to implement the spirit of the city's instructions. How can it be said that it is against the city? ”

Before Li Xiaoning's words were finished, Liu Zhigang, another of Lian Yu's right-hand men and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, jumped up and objected, "I don't agree with the opinion of the county magistrate Xiaoning, this is obviously alarmist." The public security situation in Xinpi County has always been good, and the last special anti-crime operation in the city only arrested a few people, and they were all petty fights. It's only been a few days, and there will be so many underworlds popping up? What's more, I have been in Xinpi County for so many years, and no one has ever reported this problem to me. I can't help but want to ask the county magistrate Xiaoning. Did so many underworlds fall from the sky, or did you make it up. Liu Zhigang had already received Lian Yu's promise, and after Lian Yu was promoted, he would replace the position of the secretary of the municipal party committee, so he naturally waved the flag for Lian Yu.

Listening to Liu Zhigang's aggressive questioning, Li Xiaoning couldn't help but feel angry, this guy is obviously messing around, and he is obviously coming for himself, so Li Xiaoning didn't give him a good face, but said coldly: "Secretary Liu." Your words remind me of an allusion - during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, there was a famine one year, and the people had no food to eat, so they had to dig grass roots and eat Guanyin soil, and many people starved to death because of this. The news was quickly reported to the palace, and Emperor Jin Hui was puzzled after listening to the minister's report while sitting on a high throne. He asked, 'Why don't the people eat minced meat if they don't have chestnut rice to satisfy their hunger?' ’”

"What do you mean?" Liu Zhigang didn't react for a while.

"You are the Emperor Jin Hui who broke away from the masses." Li Xiaoning said coldly, "Just because you haven't heard someone report the problems of the underworld to you doesn't mean that there is no zài." I want to ask Secretary Liu, how long have you not been among the masses? Do you know how much a pound a pound of food costs now? Do you know how much the vendors in the wet market pay a month for protection? ”

Seeing that Liu Zhigang's face was flushed and speechless when he was questioned by Li Xiaoning, Propaganda Minister Zhang Jinmao immediately rushed up and said: "I don't agree with this strike hard plan. At present, the central authorities have always emphasized that stability is overwhelming, and cracking down hard at every turn will cause psychological pressure on the people and will destroy harmony......"

Li Xiaoning saw that these people didn't understand the plan seriously at all, and just blindly pressed it down with a big hat, he was very annoyed in his heart, his eyes widened, and he said-for-tat: "Steady doesn't mean to be ****." If we leave it unchecked and unchecked, it will greatly endanger the overall situation of social stability, which is like a person with a sore on his face, and what we need to do is to dig up this sore, instead of covering it with powder......"

Propaganda Minister Lu Yan is also one of Lian Yu's henchmen, so he was naturally not to be outdone, and without waiting for Li Xiaoning to finish speaking, he said loudly: "That's not what I said. The ancient famous doctor Bian Que said, 'The disease is in the body, and the soup is ironed; In the skin, the needle and stone can also be reached', which means that different treatment methods should be taken for different diseases. I think there may indeed be individual village tyrants, city tyrants and the like in society, but they are all diseases of ringworm and scabies, and at this stage, we should focus on correct guidance. In this regard, our propaganda department will keep up and formulate a detailed publicity plan to promote positive energy to everyone and guide everyone to abandon evil and follow good. ”

Li Xiaoning almost laughed out loud, he looked at Lu Yan, and said with a sneer: "Minister Lu's ancient literary skills are good, but why only quote the first two sentences and not say the last two sentences?" I'm just a little learned, but the main idea of this article can barely be grasped, and it seems to be 'preventing the slightest and gradually stabilizing people, and avoiding illness and avoiding medicine will eventually be incorrigible', right? It's not terrible to have a problem, it's terrible not to face it squarely. If you leave it alone at the beginning of the problem, then you can only end up with a disease in the bone marrow, and you have no choice but to do it! ”

For a time, the entire Standing Committee became Li Xiaoning's battle of words, and although he was weak, he did not flinch at all, and he did not fall behind at all.
