Chapter 12: The Man Kneels
For a farmer like Li Laogen, Duan Zetao mourned his misfortune and hated his ignorance, and he patiently continued to persuade: "Li Laogen, even if you give birth to a son, what if you give birth to a son, it is so difficult for you to raise two daughters now, isn't it cold and hungry like you when you give birth to a son?" It's better to raise the two daughters well, do a good job at home, recruit a son-in-law, give birth to a grandson and surname Li, it's not the same as the bloodline of your old Li family, how can it be said that it is extinct, you have to be obsessed, leave your wife and daughter to go to prison, and the ancestors will really scold you underground! ”。
Li Laogen's wife also cried on the side: "Lao Gen, the township chief of Xiaoduan is right, we don't want this child, you want to have three long and two short, how can you live if you want our mother?!" Li Laogen's two daughters also cried on the side.
Li Xiantian also persuaded him: "Li Laogen, are you a dog with water in your head, sometimes there are times in your life, don't force it all the time in your life, you kid is doing such a big thing, you are majestic, your cousin and the little man will do evil, listen to my brother's advice, turn back!" ”。
There was silence in the room for a while, there was a squeak, the door opened, Li Laogen threw the sickle, and walked out dejectedly, "Branch secretary, I'm in, you have to help me take care of the family." Li Xiantian nodded and said: "Lao Gen, you can rest assured, the villagers, if I have a bite to eat, I won't let your cousins and small servants go hungry." ”。
Duan Zetao walked over, patted Li Laogen on the shoulder and said: "Laogen, you have to believe in the government, I will apply to my superiors for your matter, and strive for leniency, you can rest assured that your family will have a relief fund immediately, and I will suggest that the township give priority to your situation, and I will fund the tuition of your two children." ”。
Li Laogen knelt down in front of Duan Zetao suddenly, and choked up: "Township Chief Xiaoduan, you are a good official, I kowtowed to you... Duan Zetao hurriedly helped him up and said: "The man has gold under his knees, you don't have to thank me, I just did what a Communist Party member should do." At this time, the crowd spontaneously erupted in warm applause, and Ouyang Fang looked at Duan Zetao, who was surrounded by the common people in the center, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Hou Xiangui came over and was about to handcuff Li Laogen but was stopped by Duan Zetao, "Waiting, don't handcuff it, Li Laogen is a little impulsive in this matter, but after all, it didn't cause serious consequences." Over there, I'll call him personally. ”。
Hou Xiangui nodded, put away the handcuffs and said: "Township Chief Duan, I have served you, I have seen a lot of group incidents like this, which time it was not a chicken and a dog jumping, and there were deaths and injuries, this time it is a great joy, my old Hou is a rough person, I can't say beautiful words, in a word, you have to look up to my old Hou, if you have something to say hello, in the future, where you Duan Township Chief pointed, I Hou Xiangui will fight, there are many things today, I won't pull you to drink, we won't get drunk another day!" ”。
Duan Zetao also had a good impression of the bold Hou Xiangui, and patted Hou Xiangui's shoulder vigorously and said: "The waiting house is polite, if you didn't come in time today, things wouldn't be so easy to solve, and it will be indispensable to trouble you in the future, if you want to drink, I will accompany you at any time, but you have to say yes first, I will treat you!" Ha ha! ”。
The whole matter was perfectly resolved under Duan Zetao's calm handling, and his prestige among the common people and township cadres also rose sharply, and the fact that he was able to directly transfer the county public security bureau also spread within the township government through Nie Qian's mouth, and the township cadres looked at Duan Zetao with a little more awe and flattery, and there were many more people who took the initiative to greet him when they walked in the corridor of the office building, and even several members of the township party committee took the initiative to show favor to him.
At the township party committee, on the issue of handling the Li Laogen incident, Liu Yi had a violent conflict with Duan Zetao, and Liu Yi lost face in the handling of this matter, and naturally wanted to get it back through Li Laogen's severe punishment.
"Now the peasants are really lawless, and they dare to openly kidnap government cadres, what kind of behavior is this?! This is anti-party and anti-government, and if such behavior is not dealt with severely, then we don't know what kind of trouble will happen in the future! I suggest that this Li Laogen must be dealt with severely! Without waiting for Zhong Hanliang, who was presiding over the meeting, to speak, Liu Yi angrily slapped the table and took the lead in attacking.
Xia Linju, a member of the organization committee of the township party committee, came down with Liu Yi, and also belonged to the faction of the county magistrate Liu Mingzheng, this is a half-old, who usually likes to scratch her head the most, and the relationship with Liu Yi is also quite ambiguous, she immediately said: "Yes, the nature of this matter is indeed very bad, if you don't deal with it seriously, I also agree to crack down on Li Laogen!" ”。
Some of the other committee members went with Zhong Hanliang, Zhong Hanliang did not express his position, they were naturally not easy to speak, and some had an attitude of self-preservation, this matter involved the township head Liu Yi on the one hand, and the county magistrate Liu Mingzheng stood behind him, and on the other hand, Duan Zetao, who had a deep background and could mobilize the county public security director by phone, and judging from the situation that Ma Fugui, secretary of the county party committee, came down to inspect the last time, the blind could see that he was very close to Duan Zetao, and it was not good to offend either side, so they were all silent, and for a while, the atmosphere of the meeting was a little dull.
Zhong Hanliang kept writing something in his notebook, and when he saw that everyone was no longer speaking, he named Duan Zetao, "Comrade Zetao personally went to the scene to deal with this matter, so this time the party committee invited you to attend, you know the situation at the scene best, so please tell me your opinion." ”。
Duan Zetao had no choice but to stand up and say: "I have three opinions on this matter, first, we are not judges, what kind of crime should be convicted of Li Laogen's behavior and how to sentence it is a matter for the political and legal departments, and we only have the right to make suggestions." Second, it is a fact that Li Laogen kidnapped Township Chief Liu, but because of this, he said that he was anti-party and anti-government, I think it was a bit too much, after all, this incident did not have serious consequences, and he finally turned himself in, and his wife also took the initiative to undergo labor induction. Third, our government is also responsible for this matter, and it is only by forcibly arresting people without consulting the local village cadres that it will cause a strong backlash from Li Laogen, and the people are very concerned about this matter, and handling it too heavily will increase the difficulty of our family planning work in the future, so I suggest that we deal with it lightly and leniently. ”。
Liu Yi was originally very jealous of Duan Zetao, and when he heard him say this, he suddenly became angry, slapped the table and stood up: "Duan Zetao, don't sit crookedly with your ass!" Which side are you on! Don't think that if you buy the hearts of the people, you don't know what your surname is, you are not a member of the party committee, you don't count what you say! ”。
Duan Zetao glanced at Liu Yi coldly, and said-for-tat without giving in: "I am indeed not a member of the party committee, but I am a party member, I have the right to express my opinions on the party committee, our party represents the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in China, I naturally stand on the side of the overwhelming majority of the people, as for the people's hearts, I don't think it can be bought, the eyes of the people are bright, whoever is good to them, they are good to whom, it's as simple as that!" ”。
Duan Zetao's words did not leak Liu Yi didn't know how to refute at all, he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, but he just pointed at Duan Zetao, "You... You... "You haven't squeezed out a fart for a long time, Liu Yi was so scared that he peed his pants in Lijia Village, and the committee members heard about it, and at this time, seeing him being squeezed by Duan Zetao, he was even more secretly funny, so he had to endure it.
Zhong Han's conscience was also secretly refreshed, Liu Yi relied on the support of the county magistrate Liu Mingzheng to block him at the party committee, he pretended to knock on the table seriously, pressed Liu Yi and Duan Zetao with his hands and said: "Sit down, our party committee is not a vegetable market, what does this look like!" Let me say a few words, I asked the village party secretary and township cadres present to investigate and understand the whole matter, and it should be said that Comrade Zetao's handling was very calm and appropriate, so that the situation did not further expand. ”。
Zhong Hanliang's statement, Zhao Wanli, the political and legal secretary who has always followed him closely, immediately spoke, "I also agree with Secretary Zhong's opinion, we must be cautious in dealing with the problems of the people, and if we don't handle it well, it may cause mass incidents." ”。
Tian Guizhen's husband, deputy secretary Li Changgui, also said: "I also agree." Just kidding, does he dare to disagree? If he disagrees, it is estimated that Tian Guizhen will not let him in, since Duan Zetao won a subsidy of 30 yuan per person for the Family Planning Office, she is very loyal to him.
Other committee members also expressed their agreement with Duan Zetao's opinion, and the party committee would have a one-sided situation, Liu Yi's face was full of iron, and he said hatefully: "I reserve my opinion, I will go and report to County Magistrate Liu, our Shanglin Township is going to change!" After speaking, he picked up the notebook and walked away without looking back.
