Chapter 1022: The situation is out of control

At this time, Xie Shuzhen made another trick, she asked several local websites in the Mingmao City to invite about 50 active and well-known netizens to participate in the "PX Project Promotion Meeting" organized by the official organization of the Mingmao City in a "low-key" way.

It should be said that Xie Shuzhen's intentions are good, she hopes that through this official "PX Project Promotion Conference" to dispel netizens' stereotypes about the PX project, and to persuade these active and well-known netizens to help the government refute rumors on the Internet, she also specially appointed Wang Liguo, director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, to preside over the meeting.

As soon as the news spread, a large number of netizens spontaneously came to participate, and the meeting, which was originally planned to be controlled at about 50 people, came more than 200 people at once, and the conference room was almost unable to stand, and the scene was a little out of control.

Wang Liguo belongs to the kind of old bureaucrat who has been up and down in the officialdom for many years, and when he saw this scene, he frowned, but he did not have a good seizure, and instructed the staff to first broadcast a program clip from a previous CCTV program on the correct understanding of the PX project on the spot, and then made an official interpretation of the PX project according to the script, and then announced that the meeting was dismissed and left.

Now the netizens quit, and the people who came to the meeting were more active in their thinking, often posted on major forums, and the more influential "V" level figures immediately coaxed the audience and asked Wang Liguo to stay and answer netizens' questions.

In the end, Wang Liguo had no choice but to stay, but only promised to answer three questions from netizens, these netizens are famous for their cutting-edge views and sharp words on the Internet, otherwise they will not be able to attract the attention of fans, and the questions raised are naturally very sharp, which makes Wang Liguo's face very unbearable, and he has been in the propaganda mouth for a long time, and the answer to the questions is naturally full of official words, avoiding the important and trivial, and it is impossible to satisfy the netizens, and in the end, the promotion meeting can only be like a farce in the quarrel between netizens and the staff.

But this promotion meeting played a big counter-effect, that is, it gave netizens who didn't know each other a chance to communicate in reality, after Wang Liguo left, they communicated on their own, and when they talked about it, they all hated each other, "Oh, you are the person with the name of the screen or something!" They exchanged contact information and WeChat accounts, which also laid the groundwork for the later mass protests.

So on the third day after the promotion meeting was held, under the tandem of these netizens, some people soon followed the precedent of Minxia City and began to gather on the lawn in front of the gate of the Mingmao Municipal Party Committee to protest, marching on the road in front of the Municipal Party Committee, and also playing the slogan "Protest against the PX project", and some held "PX is ruthless, Mingmao is merciless, Mingmao holds on!" At first, there were only a few hundred people, but later more and more people gathered and reached thousands of people.

After receiving the report, Xie Shuzhen was very angry, and immediately called Liao Qili, secretary of the Municipal Legal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, and instructed him to immediately dispatch police forces to the scene to disperse the protesters.

It should be said that at first, both the police and the protesters were relatively restrained, and after the police arrived at the scene, they immediately erected several rows of human walls in front of the gate of the municipal party committee by riot police holding shields to prevent the protesters from storming the gate of the municipal party committee, and the protesters only confronted the police with protest banners and cards, and there was no physical confrontation.

But as more and more people rushed to hear the news, reaching several thousand people, the scene was a little out of control, especially the addition of some idle and unemployed people in society, these guys are idle all day long, just want to find some excitement and fun, and want to provoke some right and wrong.

Liao Qili is a soldier and has a hot temper, coupled with Xie Shuzhen's instructions, he immediately commanded the riot police at the scene to take the initiative to arrest the troublemakers who took the lead in provoking, and then the physical conflict was inevitable, and the scene immediately got out of control, and the crowd was accidentally injured in the pushing, and the head was broken and bloodied, and the scene was even more chaotic, and someone shouted at the scene; "The police beat people, hurt people!" As a result, more people joined the ranks of throwing mineral water bottles and small stones at the police wall, and many police officers were hit by these debris and injured, and the smell of gunpowder at the scene became stronger and stronger.

At this time, some people began to dismantle the steel guardrails and iron frames on the roadside as offensive weapons, while others ran to the road to stop cars, and those idle people in society who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic began to hit and smash public property and facades on the roadside.

At this time, the number of people gathered at the scene had reached thousands, and the hundreds of riot police brought by Liao Qili couldn't control the situation at all, so he had to report to Xie Shuzhen, and then Xie Shuzhen was also a little flustered, the matter was completely out of her control, and if it continued to evolve, it was likely to become a vicious group incident that shocked the whole country.

A feeling of powerlessness instantly spread throughout Xie Shuzhen's limbs, and she sat down on the office chair in a dejected manner, muttering to herself, "How could this happen?!" How did it come to this?! ......", or the secretary on the side reminded: "Secretary Xie, if something so big happens, the cover must not be covered, so let's report to the superior quickly!" ……”。

Xie Shuzhen came to her senses at this time, and hurriedly called Shu Danming to report, Shu Danming was also taken aback when he received the call, what officials are most afraid of is a group incident, it doesn't matter if you are an official with mediocre and poor political performance, at most, you will not be promoted, but once there is a group incident, it will definitely be punished!

But now it is useless to blame Xie Shuzhen, Shu Danming had to instruct Xie Shuzhen on the phone to control the situation and not to deteriorate further, he will immediately order the nearby armed police force to rush to reinforcements, and he will also personally rush to Mingmao City to command!

Duan Zetao didn't know that such a major group incident had occurred in Mingmao City at this time, Zhang Xiaohao suddenly rushed to his office, panting and puffing: "Governor Duan, something big happened in Mingmao City, when Mingmao City wanted to engage in a PX project and ask the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau to issue an environmental assessment report, I just stuck and didn't agree, but I didn't expect something to happen!" ……”。

After listening to Zhang Xiaohao's report, Duan Zetao did not have the pleasure of gloating at all, because he knew that it was not a good thing for the Mingmao City to have a group incident at this time, not only a major blow to the Mingmao City, but also a bad impact on the entire western Guangdong Province, so he thought about it and immediately stood up, waved his hand to Zhang Xiaohao and said, "Go!" Let's go to Secretary Tianlong to discuss countermeasures! ”。
