In Qiaozhuang Village, in the brigade headquarters, Qiao Yongsheng, the village party secretary, was holding a banquet to entertain the town mayor Gao Mingyi and his party.

Gao Mingyi came to Qiaozhuang Village today to inspect the collection of this year's retention and co-ordination funds, and after the inspection, he was going back to the town at noon, but Qiao Yongsheng was particularly enthusiastic about keeping them, and he also prepared the meals in advance, and set up a full table, which was very rich. Gao Mingyi considered that Qiao Yongsheng was a more prestigious old branch secretary in the town, and the meals were also arranged, if he left like this, Qiao Yongsheng would really not be able to get off the stage, so he had to stay.

There is no restaurant in Qiaozhuang Village, and Qiao Yongsheng is a person who is very good at things and likes to socialize, so he renovated a room in the brigade headquarters into a private room in a hotel, which was specially used to entertain the leaders from the village, and sent people to the restaurant in the town to bring back the food.

Of course, the environment of this private room is still not comparable to that of a hotel, but among all the natural villages in Shuangmiao Town, this is definitely the best dining environment!

Qiao Yongsheng stood up with a wine glass, and just wanted to toast Gao Mingyi with a glass of wine, the door of the room was suddenly knocked twice, and then the door was pushed open, and Qiao Yutian walked in with a sneer. Immediately after, Chen Mingyu also walked in.

Qiao Yutian actually knew that Qiao Yongsheng was receiving the mayor at noon today, and one of the reasons why he brought Chen Mingyu over was that he was a little afraid of Chen Mingyu's identity and didn't know how to deal with it, and he was also very angry that Chen Mingyu suddenly came out and inserted a bar, he thought, I can't cure you, can't the mayor cure you? The mayor of the town came to the village today to inspect the collection of the retention and pooling funds, but you came to disrupt the progress of the work, can the mayor still tolerate you?

Therefore, Qiao Yutian wanted to use the power of the mayor to give Chen Mingyu eye medicine.

Seeing Qiao Yutian walking in, and also bringing a strange young man, Qiao Yongsheng's face couldn't help but sink, and he was very angry, but he didn't have a seizure in front of the mayor, and asked, "Yutian, why are you here?" Who is this? Don't you know what the occasion is? How do you bring people in? ”

Qiao Yutian first called out "Mayor Gao", and then said: "Second uncle, that's the case, didn't I go to Zhong Xiaohai's house just now to collect the retention money, guess what, Zhong Xiaohai's kid didn't make sense at all, not only did he not pay the money, but he even threatened us with a knife......"

As soon as Chen Mingyu entered the door just now, he noticed Gao Mingyi sitting in the position of guest of honor, seeing that his temperament was particularly outstanding, he was definitely not an ordinary person, so Chen Mingyu guessed that he should be a cadre in the town.

However, after hearing Qiao Yutian call him "Mayor Gao", Chen Mingyu was still quite surprised!

Chen Mingyu still knows a lot about the party and government leaders in his hometown, as far as he knows, among the four deputy mayors in the town, only the full-time mayor Gao Mingyi is surnamed Gao, and the person in front of him is Gao Mingyi!

In addition, Chen Mingyu also knew that Gao Mingyi was only transferred from the position of deputy director of the county government office to the mayor of Shuangmiao Town after May Day this year, but other than that, Chen Mingyu didn't know much about him, and he didn't know what Gao Mingyi's character was.

After Qiao Yongsheng listened to Qiao Yutian's words, he was almost angry, thinking to himself, this Qiao Yutian usually looks like a very clever person, why can't he do things so well? He didn't know about the fact that their village had raised the retention fund without authorization, could he mention it in front of Mayor Gao and others?

Therefore, before Qiao Yutian finished speaking, Qiao Yongsheng reprimanded: "If you confiscate the retention money, you will collect it another day, do you still need to talk about it here?" Don't you know what the occasion is? Who is this, and what are you bringing him here for? Get out of here! ”

In this process, Gao Mingyi didn't say a word, he sat there all the time, and there was no expression on his face, as if he had glanced at Chen Mingyu a few times, but he didn't seem to have looked, his eyes seemed to be looking at some empty place.

Although Qiao Yutian was reprimanded by Qiao Yongsheng, his goal had not yet been achieved, so he naturally wouldn't leave, so he still stubbornly said: "Second uncle, let me introduce you to this one, he said that he is from the Public Security Bureau." Just now, when I was at Zhong Xiaohai's house to collect the retention money, he suddenly came out and said a bunch of strange things that we shouldn't collect the retention money, and said that he wanted to come to you, I had no choice, and I didn't dare to offend the leadership of the Public Security Bureau, so I had to bring him over. ”

When he said this, Qiao Yutian kept looking at Gao Mingyi, in fact, he just said these words to Gao Mingyi, and wanted Gao Mingyi to hit Chen Mingyu's arrogance!

However, Qiao Yongsheng was even more angry after hearing his words, this kid is really TM and not afraid of big things! This retention money was originally collected in vain, and now I met someone from the public security bureau who asked about it, and then I didn't hurry up to settle the matter, and even took the initiative to make this matter in front of the mayor, what is this TM not brain-dead?

If it weren't for the presence of so many people, Qiao Yongsheng would definitely have slapped Qiao Yutian in the face!

And Chen Mingyu was simply amused by Qiao Yutian, on the way over just now, Qiao Yutian handed over cigarettes and said good things, Chen Mingyu thought that this Qiao Yutian really realized his mistake, but he didn't expect that when he got here, Qiao Yutian immediately turned his face, not only put all the responsibility on himself, but also framed himself for questioning national policies!

Chen Mingyu really saw what it means to turn his face faster than turning a book this time, and he also vividly saw the ugly face of a villain.

After Gao Mingyi knew that Chen Mingyu was a cadre of the Public Security Bureau, he looked at Chen Mingyu very seriously, and his lips moved slightly, but in the end he still did not speak.

As soon as Qiao Yutian's words fell, Chen Mingyu said: "Qiao Yutian, what you said is not right, I didn't say anything strange about not receiving and withholding money, I was just questioning your violent charging methods." ”

Qiao Yutian sneered and sarcastically said, "What's wrong with our charging method? Is that called violent law enforcement? We didn't do it to anyone, did we? You are the leader of the Public Security Bureau, and if you don't get in touch with grassroots work, you can't understand our difficulties! The work is so difficult to do, and there are many Diao people, thousands of lines above, and a needle below, if I explain to every Diao Min who does not cooperate with the work, do I have so much energy? Is our work still underway? ”

Chen Mingyu didn't expect that this Qiao Yutian's eloquence was really good, and he really underestimated this kid just now!

Qiao Yongsheng wanted to turn a big thing into a small thing, and a small thing into a small thing, so he scolded: "Okay, Yutian, you shut up for me!" Then he said to Chen Mingyu: "You are a cadre of the Public Security Bureau, right?" There may be a bit of a misunderstanding in this matter. Otherwise, at noon today, you also saw that there is something on my side, wait for the afternoon, I will definitely deal with this matter in person, and then give you an explanation? ”

Seeing that Qiao Yongsheng seemed to want to let go of Chen Mingyu, Qiao Yutian was in a hurry, and couldn't help but shout: "Secretary Qiao......"

"Shut up!" Qiao Yongsheng held back his anger and shouted! If he had a knife in his hand now, he would definitely hack Qiao Yutian to death!

Gao Mingyi still didn't speak, as if he wanted to see what Chen Mingyu had!

However, before Chen Mingyu could speak, Zhong Xiaotao, who came with him, couldn't help but shout at Qiao Yutian: "Who do you say is Diaomin?" You're Diaomin! You raised the retention amount without authorization, and even made us pay more than 200 yuan! I asked, the farmers in Guozhuang in the south who are similar to our family have not paid more than 100! Why do you charge so much money! My brother doesn't want to pay, so you people from the debt team will go to my brother's house to lead pigs and sheep, you are hooligans! ”

Qiao Yongsheng saw that Zhong Xiaotao had stabbed this matter in front of the mayor, and he was shocked, and beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead!

And Chen Mingyu was also very surprised when he heard it, he originally only knew that Qiao Yutian and them were violently charged, but he didn't know that they actually asked Zhong Xiaohai's family to pay more than 200 yuan in retention!

Although Chen Mingyu is a criminal policeman, because his family is rural and there are several acres of land at home, he still knows a lot about the taxes and fees borne by farmers.

Since the reform in the mid-80s, the peasants' burdens have mainly consisted of five parts: agricultural tax (tax on bulk agricultural products, mainly grain, cotton, and oil), tax on special agricultural products (including taxes on vegetables, fruits, forests, flowers, aquatic products, livestock and poultry, and other economic agricultural products), water fees, three village retention fees (provident fund, public welfare fund, and management fee), and five township and town co-ordination plans (education surcharge, family planning fee, militia training fee, civil affairs preferential care fee, and private transportation fee).

Among them, the three retention at the village level as a rural accumulation, generally accounting for 17% ~ 18% of the total burden, and the average total burden of local farmers per mu is about 150 yuan, so after accounting, the burden of retention fee per mu is about 27 yuan, Zhong Xiaohai's family has about three and a half acres of land, so the total amount of retention should be about 100 yuan, how can it not exceed 200 yuan!

This means that the village has doubled the amount of retention without authorization, or even more than that!

I really don't know, is this the increase in taxes and fees demanded by the town, or the two committees of their Qiaozhuang Village are arrogant!

However, he remembered that some time ago, when their family paid the retention and co-ordination funds, they were all raised according to the unified standard, so it seems that this should not be the unified deployment of the town, but the team of the two committees of Qiaozhuang Village, to be precise, it is the ghost idea of Qiao Yongsheng, the village party secretary!

Thinking of this, Chen Mingyu was angry, and couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Qiao Zhishu, right, can I ask you a question?" ”

Without waiting for Qiao Yongsheng to answer, Chen Mingyu continued to ask: "Qiaozhuang Village is still not a village under the leadership of our party?" If so, then why do you not implement the policy and increase the retention fund without authorization, even though the central government has repeatedly ordered to reduce the burden on the peasants? ! ”

Qiao Yongsheng's face turned red and said, "This ...... This...... This is actually a misunderstanding! ”

Then, Qiao Yongsheng turned his face to Gao Mingyi and explained: "Mayor Gao, this matter is not like it seems, we actually did not raise the levy standard for retention, this is a matter of illegal national policy, how dare we have this courage!" In fact, this Zhong Xiaohai did not pay the retention money last year, and it was delayed until this year, so we collected it together in two years, and it seems that we have collected more, but it is not the standard that is mentioned. ”

No matter how stupid Qiao Yutian was, he could see that something was wrong at this time, and he hurriedly echoed and explained: "That's right! Right! Right! We didn't raise the standard for the collection of retention money, it is true that Zhong Xiaohai's family did not pay it last year, and we only collected it for two years! Mayor Gao, don't you know that this Zhong Xiaohai is the Diao people of our village, so he likes to work against our village committee......"

Zhong Xiaotao said unconvinced: "You are Diao Min!" My brother's retention money last year was paid! ”

Qiao Yutian glared at Zhong Xiaotao and reprimanded, "You know a fart!" ”
