Chapter 5 Mass Incidents

Fortunately, I don't know which righteous person posted the inside story of the lender forcing the young woman to death and seriously injuring the male owner on the Internet. Due to the great impact of an incident in Shandong some time ago, this similar incident quickly attracted the attention of netizens across the country. The official of Licheng didn't take it seriously at first, and the leader in charge of the propaganda mouth casually arranged for his staff to contact the website to delete the post, but he didn't expect that overnight, public opinion was flooded, and it was overwhelming with negative news about Licheng.

At this important juncture, Director Wang took a stinky move. He arranged for his right-hand men to lock down the IP of the original poster, and then arrested the neighbor of the knitting factory, that is, the owner of the breakfast shop, on charges of disrupting social and public order, fabricating rumors, and bringing a serious negative impact on Li Cheng. Several other netizens who enthusiastically commented and retweeted were also hunted down across provinces.

The vendors around the Vantone Market have quit, the police have taken no action when the thugs have bullied the people, and the righteous people have been suppressed and acted chaotically, and I don't know who is leading the way, and hundreds of small businesses are the first to strike the market. Immediately after, all the businesses around the Vantone Market closed their doors. Director Wang was stupid and sent a large number of police officers to the streets to force merchants to open their doors, and anyone who did not listen to the instructions would be prosecuted for the crime of disrupting the operation of the market.

I have seen the rape, I have never seen the forced opening, and a conflict will inevitably occur. Under the supervision of the second-in-command of the Public Security Bureau, the police in small localities have always been arrogant and domineering, and they began to use violent means against the unarmed people of Licheng. The older people still knew that they couldn't fight hard, and the young people vowed not to retreat with their enthusiasm, lifted a few police cars, and injured several members of the joint defense team.

At this point, things are completely out of control. Guo Antong, secretary of the Licheng City CPC Committee, and Ji Gui, mayor of the city of Licheng, who were holding a meeting in other places, hurried back when they heard the news, and they did not bother to investigate the truth of the matter, so they immediately contacted the local garrison and forcefully suppressed the people of Licheng to continue the demonstration. On the morning of the day after the mass incident, a large group of soldiers drove into the city of Licheng, closed roads, cut off electricity, blocked network signals, and even media reporters from all over the country were driven out by Licheng officials.

Cheng Liping couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. Although his heart was full of indignation, he did not go to the street, but found a way to contact friends in the south and broke the news about everything that happened in Licheng to the relevant media. People from Li Cheng who are working in other places cannot bear it either, and they have used their own channels to report to the higher authorities.

Things are still fermenting. Licheng is located in the North China Plain, in the forties of the last century, in order to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward, Chiang Kai-shek ordered to blow up the mouth of the garden, and the east of Kaifeng became the Yellow Flood Area, millions of people suffered heavy casualties and fled from home. After the victory of the war, the North China Plain was depressed and sparsely populated. Bold gold prospectors from other provinces came here and began to multiply. Therefore, the foundation of Li Cheng is similar to the western prairie of the United States, most of the people are fierce and resistant, and they just eat and drink on weekdays, but they are really forced into a desperate situation, and the power that bursts out is earth-shattering.

Within a day, all the detention centers in Licheng were full, and the hospitals were overcrowded. In the evening, the policemen and soldiers, tired from a long day, were hungry and could not even eat. All the restaurants in Licheng were closed, and even the neighboring county refused to sell their food. The most typical one is Du Dezhong, the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Public Security Bureau, who took off his police hat and put it in front of Secretary Guo Antong, and said word by word: "As a party member, I clearly remember the promise I made when I joined the party. As a police officer, I remember the oath I took all the time. But what we are doing now is sorry for the people, sorry for the country, and even more sorry for our own conscience. ”

The policemen of the Criminal Police Brigade took off their police hats and stood quietly behind Du Dezhong. Tang Keqing, the leader of the Public Security Bureau, blushed and roared angrily: "Du Dezhong, do you still have discipline in your eyes, is there any national law?" ”

Deputy Director Wang also angrily reprimanded: "Even if the people cause chaos to the government, you are a deputy section-level cadre trained by a country, and you have no sense of proportion?" ”

Ji Gui made a straight face, waved his hand and said, "Suspend Du Dezhong first, and the police officers who resisted the order will return to the bureau first." ”

Guo Antong coughed dryly and said: "You don't need to go online like this, some comrades don't understand it, this is normal." But you have to remember that stability is paramount, and only stability can have a future for Licheng. ”

The sparse applause rang out, Guo Antong pressed down with both hands, made a quiet appearance, and continued: "Mayor Ji and I are both in a meeting in the field, and we are also very sad when such an emergency occurs, and we are not willing to use such a method. However, at any time, there are some criminals who fish in troubled waters and take advantage of such an opportunity to tarnish the reputation of the government and provoke the people to antagonize the government. I believe that our citizens are rational and law-abiding, and I hope that you will understand our suffering. ”

Secretary Guo, who was born in the political and legal system, was really smart, and the cadres present were in tears. Du Dezhong lowered his head and didn't say a word, this man in his thirties was already determined to disobey his orders to the end, and when he saw the people spontaneously uniting against the powerful state apparatus, he knew that the people's hearts were back.

Without him Du Dezhong, the earth will still turn, and with the encouragement of Secretary Guo, the cadres and police officers have played a good style of tenacious fighting and finally put down this mass incident. It took a full week from the first day of the incident to the time it calmed down.

Due to water and power outages, the urban area of Licheng is in chaos, and all kinds of domestic garbage are piled up on the streets, and the smell is stinking. Just as Mayor Jigui was reporting to the higher-level leaders, a brief notice from the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government sent a brief notice to the Licheng Municipal Party Committee.

"Comrade Guo Antong, secretary of the Licheng City Party Committee, was ineffective in handling the mass incident, assumed leadership responsibility, temporarily suspended for inspection, Comrade Ji Gui, mayor of Licheng City, was dismissed, Tang Keqing, director of the Public Security Bureau, and Wang Dunru, deputy director of the bureau, were dismissed."

For this group of leaders, this notice is tantamount to a bolt from the blue. On the afternoon of the day the notice was issued, Comrade Long Yisheng, deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee, came to Licheng and announced that the secretary of the Licheng municipal party committee would be succeeded by Tan Jialin, director of the Second Division of the Provincial Party Committee Affairs Administration. Licheng is a county-level city directly under the provincial administration, and the chief official is assigned to the deputy department level as standard, and Tan Jialin, a department-level cadre, serves as the secretary of the Licheng Municipal Party Committee, which is obviously a temporary transition. As for the post of mayor of Licheng, a local deputy mayor of Licheng was filled.

Guo Antong was very unconvinced, because he, like Ji Gui, thought that he was lying on the gun. Having said that, Guo Antong did have a hard time, and when he and Ji Gui learned the news of the turmoil in Licheng, the situation was already out of control. However, the leader who learned the inside story told Guo Antong that the punishment was made by the secretary of the provincial party committee personally, and there was no room for maneuver, so it was better to reflect honestly and wait for the new appointment.

The leader did not fool Guo Antong, because the secretary of the provincial party committee was really angry, although he was very self-contained and did not get angry, but he said a meaningful sentence that determined the careers of the two chief officials of the party and government in Licheng.

The sentence was: "It's obviously a simple criminal case, and they have made it into a huge group incident, but they really have the ability, if it is placed in troubled times, the country will be destroyed in their hands." ”

Guo Antong had no choice but to finish the process unhappily and leave Licheng to return to the provincial capital to relax.

When the news came, the people of Licheng wept with joy. A disaster, inexplicably happens, and ends inexplicably, but many people are on the verge of life and death and understand that it is not easy to live a stable life. The detainees were also released and received a certain amount of financial compensation in accordance with national standards. Some excited young people spontaneously set off fireworks in the streets, thanking the higher authorities for their wise decision.

The Vantone Market, the main place of events, became a sea of celebration. Cheng Liping helped his parents clean up the stall and was about to go to the fruit wholesale market to buy goods, when Cheng Hongbin's phone called and said, "Brother Ping, where are you?" ”

Cheng Liping said: "Wantong Market, what's the matter?" ”

Cheng Hongbin said: "My dad has something to do with you, come to my house quickly." ”

Don't think about it, Cheng Liping also knew what was going on, so he answered and rode his bicycle back to Chengjia Village. Old Uncle Cheng stood outside the door, with a beaming look on his face, and when he saw Cheng Liping coming back, he laughed loudly: "Big nephew, what you said is really accurate, the surname Wang has fallen, you have a flexible brain, come and help Uncle sum up, how can I get back the project money they owe me." ”

Yaya shouted, "Oh, Dad, you ask Brother Ping to park the car and come into the house." ”

"Yes, yes, look at me old fool." Old Uncle Cheng walked into the house first.

Looking at Old Uncle Cheng's hopeful appearance, Cheng Liping really couldn't bear to stimulate him. You know, the notice above has an intrinsic meaning. Guo Antong is suspended, and he may be able to resume his original post at any time, and Ji Gui's dismissal is better to say, and he may be transferred to other places. As for Wang Dunru, who is closely related to Uncle Cheng's project money, he is only removed from his post now, and his superiors have not opened a case against him for investigation, and it is still out of reach to ask for project money.

"What's wrong? Difficult? Uncle Cheng was not in the mood to smoke anymore, so he stammered and asked.

Cheng Hongbin waved his hand and said, "How difficult can this be, Dad, don't worry." Our Li Cheng from top to bottom, this time we have been masturbating, who would dare to come against the law of the country? ”

Cheng Liping nodded, echoed and said: "Hongbin is right, old Uncle Cheng, don't worry, I don't know how many debts are owed by those surnamed Wang and those surnamed Cao, and the top must be verified one by one, just be patient and wait." ”

Uncle Cheng sighed, touched a cigarette and lit it, and said, "I understand the reason, I want to get the money back, and the construction site in the north of the city will continue to work." You don't know, those migrant workers have been with me for more than ten years, and if I can't start work, they will have to leave their hometowns. ”

Cheng Liping looked at the image of Uncle Cheng and suddenly became taller, and was a little inexplicably moved, but he couldn't help with this kind of thing, so he could only comfort Uncle Cheng a few words. Those items are all meat that others eat in their mouths, and they will be spit out easily, and even if they are spit out, they are also used to make connections, and it is impossible to return them to their original owners. It seems that Uncle Cheng's full hope is destined to fail.

Cheng Hongbin followed Cheng Liping out of the house, handed over a cigarette, pursed his lips, and said, "Brother Ping, my father's money is not coming back, right?" ”

Cheng Liping looked at his yard and shook his head: "It's unlikely, but it's not hopeless." I heard that there is a captain in the Public Security Bureau who is unwilling to use force against the people, and now he has taken the position of the boss of the Wang family and become the deputy director, you let Uncle Cheng try it with him. ”

Cheng Hongbin sniffed and said, "The world is as black as a crow, I don't believe he can get any better." ”

Cheng Liping smiled helplessly and said: "There are indeed scum in the officials, but there are still many good officials, otherwise they would have been messed up a long time ago." Hongbin, don't be so extreme, you have to suffer. ”

Cheng Hongbin was silent for a moment, without an interface, and finished smoking a cigarette before he said with a smile: "Brother Ping, looking at your breath, you have seen a big scene, how can you hold back and do this small business?" ”

Cheng Liping smiled indifferently and said, "Peace of mind." ”
