"Why?" Li Xiaohe stood at the door, looking at the comer.

"Why? We can't trust you. The man said, "It's near."

The crowd, which had already moved outward, stopped and followed inward. Wang Gui'e and Yang Dashan also stood in front of the house, looking at the middle-aged man who had just entered the hospital.

Looking at the people standing in front of him, Li Xiaohe couldn't help frowning secretly, and said in his heart: This kid won't come sooner or later, but if he comes at this time, it seems that he wants bad food. Although he had a premonition in his heart, he still looked as usual: "Words must always be grounded, and you can't just come with your words, right?" ”

The middle-aged man is not from Xiangyang Village, but He Hai from Hejiaying Village. He Haiyi bared his teeth: "Township Chief Li, I speak straight, I am a straight person, unlike them, they hold back when they have something to say, don't say it at the moment, and then pull the tongue of the wife behind their backs." I said I can't believe you, it's not out of thin air, there's a reason. ”

"Well, since you're here, let's go into the house and say, and then call a few more people into the house together." As he spoke, Li Xiaohe flashed to the side of the door.

He Hai waved his hand with a grin: "No need, you like to make trouble to elect a few representatives, in fact, you are afraid that there will be too many people, and you are also afraid that some secrets will be heard." What I'm going to say in a moment is not a secret for a long time, these people at the scene have heard of it, but if they don't say it, then there is nothing to keep secret. Besides, if we don't talk to the rest of you, they should suspect us of muttering about them in the house. The few times I was a representative, some guys just said that, and I was so angry that I just wanted to beat them. I don't dare to enter the house now, I'm afraid that Qiao Manchu will lock me in the house, and the village cadres will be the best at slapping the township cadres. finally dodged Uncle Chunshan, if Qiao Man was allowed to hoard and calculate again, it would be too wrong. ”

"Whatever you want, if you don't enter the house, you won't enter." Li Xiaohe complied with the other party's wishes. He can only go along with it, and he can neither force nor force the other party.

He Hai bared his teeth again, and hugged his fists: "Thank you!" To tell you the truth, you are not a bad person, among these township cadres I have seen, you still want to do the right thing. But you can't do it, it seems that no one wants you to do it, and your life is really not good. You haven't been in the township for a long time, and it's only been more than 100 days since you were full, and you haven't been in Shuangsheng Township before, so you don't know the situation in the township. If you don't understand this, it will be difficult to do things, and it is easy to do it, and the gambling thing is an example.

A few years ago, you took people to Yujiaying to catch gambling, and you made a lot of noise in Yujiaying, saying everything. I know that you are an official, so you have to think from the perspective of the public, and you have to do things for the public, and in your words, gambling is a bad habit and an unstable factor that affects social stability. But the score is also different, rural people are different from public families, unlike you who go on five days a week and have two days off. Rural people basically have to work as soon as the New Year comes out, waiting for a kind of land, and this work is even more handy, how can there be any Sundays and holidays? As long as it doesn't rain, you can't do it, and you have to go to the ground every day. In recent years, the days have been good, and the crops planted have been easier to catch, but they still dare not rest until the harvest is over. After the autumn harvest, there is still work to do, ploughing and stubble is not finished, but the old ladies basically don't have to go to the field.

At the end of this season, I suffered from death for seven or eight months, and I was as tired as my third grandson, looking forward to a good harvest and a few days of cats in winter. Farmers don't have much entertainment, old ladies watch TV series, and they are addicted, and old men can only play cards, throw dice, and bet on a small treasure. After a few hours, losing one hundred and eighty, that is, happy and happy, is it nothing? It shouldn't be caught. I've heard that your father-in-law plays mahjong, and Hu wins two or three hundred in one round, plus someone 'lays eggs', seven or eight hundred will be in hand, this is still a general way to play, and there are even bigger.

If you are far away, I will talk about the gambling at Yu's camp that day. I heard that the bettor played big that day, much bigger than usual, and even Yu Bao, who was picking and picking, loaded 800 yuan, and the gambler loaded tens of thousands. In this case, that's gambling, you have to catch it, I raise my hands in favor, or I have to bring the upper and lower neighboring villages badly, after a long time, maybe the old ladies in the village will have to let the gambling guys take away. I heard that the gambling was caught that day, and the township chief personally took people there, and then disappeared; It was the police who confiscated the money and arrested several people.

I'm going to talk about this, it's definitely right to catch gambling, and it makes sense to confiscate gambling funds, but it's a bit too much to arrest Yu Bao and the four of them again. They are honest farmers, and they usually detain the soil, and with the lesson of being arrested this time, they must have a long memory, why should they be caught in the county again? It's good to say education and education, isn't it just to fine money again? Later, it didn't work, and they released the people back. You say it's a big toss, what is this for?

I've heard it again, it seems that you didn't participate in those police money-sharing, and you helped a lot when you asked for someone. I also believe that you really give people a good impression, and you don't look like the kind of person who sees money. But what you did that day was really not pretty, just catch the gambling, and get it to the township police station, why don't you summon the county public security bureau? ”

Li Xiaohe interjected: "He Hai, you came in the door to make accusations, and you still said the Tao, but do you know?" The events of that day were just rushed together, and they were not what you said at all. The accusations you make against the Public Security Bureau may not be true. ”

He Hai sneered: "You mean, the county public security bureau was not summoned by you?" How can it be so coincidental, more clever than the storyteller's compilation? If that's the case, you'll let you follow you, and someone else will step on your tail. Then this is another problem, someone sells you stinky and makes you and the common people stiff. I also believe that it is really possible that you are foolish to lead the way and let people be used as guns. In either case, the people will be suspicious of you and dare not believe you, who knows when you will come again with such a hand, or let people step on the tail?

Speaking of the gambling that day, there is another rumor. said that the next morning, Yu Bao's wife came out of your house, and you had injuries on your hands and face, and said what happened to you. That's pure rumor, I don't believe it anyway, just because of your status as an official, you're not very old, and you can look good, can you take a fancy to that girl? But the question arises again, why did that rumor come out again? Eighty percent of you are being sold again. Left and right, you always let people detain like this, can your reputation not be affected? People say that if you drown people by spitting stars, then this baba star will definitely stink people to death. is so neat, can this official still be a good one? Can you still be a long? Who would dare to believe you?

Just a few days after the gambling incident, the township elected the township chief, and I heard that you got seven votes against it at once, which is rare in the township, and I heard that there were at most three or four in the past. I don't know about your election as an official, but I can also understand that it is really abnormal to have so many negative votes. Ordinary people get along like that, as long as they don't offend people, at critical times, they just don't make up for it, they shouldn't dismantle it, and they shouldn't stick a knife in their backs. Whoever votes against you is sticking a knife in you.

Supposedly, you haven't been here for a long time, and you shouldn't offend so many people. Many people also think that you are stronger than the first two people, at least much stronger than the township chief surnamed Du, but why do you let people attack behind their backs one after another and make stumbling blocks? In a situation like yours, who would dare to believe that you can stay long? It's just that you want to do things for the people, and I'm afraid it won't be your turn. If the people want to petition, they just want the county to solve it, and it also saves you from suffering in the middle. Anyway, you still look like a good officer. ”

The other party, a crop man, actually said such a big reason, and the analysis was quite in place, which made Li Xiaohe very surprised. But he still said lightly: "He Hai, we haven't been in contact once, I always thought you were a straightforward man, but today I found out that you have a lot of eyes." ”

He Hai smiled "hehe": "Township chief, you don't have to squeeze me with words, I'm really straightforward, or I wouldn't say such annoying words." Some of what I just said is something I figured out on my own, and most of it was said by others. Maybe someone specially summarized it again, and stabbed you again, and you can't stand this knife and knife. We can't believe that you can persist until this case is solved, and we can only find our own way, so we can only petition. ”

"I won't refute what you said first, just talk about the petition, and the petition won't solve the problem at all......" Although he had seen that the situation was very unfavorable, Li Xiaohe still hardened his head and started working.

……

Just when Li Xiaohe was responding to the petition requests of hundreds of villagers and He Hai's tirade, there was a person who was also paying attention to the affairs of Xiangyang Village. This person already knew that Li Xiaohe went to the scene, and he also heard some of the circumstances at the scene. He was looking forward to the villagers petitioning, thinking that Li Xiaohe would follow and be punished, and it was best to get rid of it to the end; I am afraid that the villagers will petition, and I am afraid that the villagers will make a big deal and something unpredictable will happen. For a moment, he was very conflicted, and paced around the room irritably.

What to do? Am I going to add a fire and burn his surname Li half to death, or do I ignore it? I asked myself over and over again, and I thought about it in my head over and over again.

I went back and forth for an unknown number of times, and the thoughts in my heart were repeated many times, but this person did not figure out a clue, nor did he make a choice, and his heart was even more troubled.

……

Try to be as patient as possible, after listening to the township chief's words, He Hai smiled: "Township chief, there is no need to talk about the big truth, we want money, our own money, can you do it?" ”

"He Hai, folks, I promise to take care of this matter to the end and promise to give you an explanation." Li Xiaohe said.

"When will you get it back? Today, a week, a month? He Hai asked one after another.

Sighing, Li Xiaohe said slowly: "It's hard to say the specific date now, but there has been significant progress in this case, I promise ......"

"Township Chief Li, don't promise it, we can't trust you." He Hai interrupted directly, and then waved his hand, "Folks, let's go, petition." ”

"Let's petition!" People were noisy and walked out.

Looking at the people who flocked to the outside of the hospital, Li Xiaohe let out a long sigh, he didn't stop it, and he didn't know how to stop it.

"Squeak", the screeching sound of brakes suddenly came.
