Outside, there were people from other places making trouble, and seeing Chen Ke covering his mouth and holding back a smile inside the house, Shang Yuan felt very unhappy. It's just that at this time, the information from outside came in one after another, and Shang Yuan couldn't care about what Chen Ke meant for the time being. But Chen Ke was unusual, and just left a sentence, "Brother Wangshan, since you are in charge of the police system, then you have full authority to handle this matter, and after the other comrades come, you will lead them to solve this matter." I'll go outside and see what's going on first. After saying that, Chen Ke went out with the guards.

Shang Yuan didn't expect Chen Ke to treat this matter like this, although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Chen Ke's gourd. But Shang Yuan was extremely unhappy in his heart. "Wen Qing, are you trying to gloat?" Shang Yuan thought. However, Chen Ke has never been such a person, although he has such doubts, Shang Yuan is not completely sure that what he thinks is right.

No matter what Chen Ke meant, now that things have come to this, Shang Yuan can't take care of it so much. While he sent people outside to check on the situation, he asked the cadres of the police department to report on the situation.

The military head of the police system is Danze. This young man, who was once reduced to a beggar in the Shanghai era, was promoted very quickly in the army. Because of his experience as a beggar, everyone at the party committee felt that he should be the comrade who could best understand the emotions of these disaster victims, so they handed over the police system to him to supervise. Shang Yuan is actually a hands-off shopkeeper. Faced with the current situation, Shang Yuan could only let Dai Enze figure out the situation first.

The situation collected by Dai Enze is also clear. Three days ago, a gang of thieves ran to steal potatoes from the fields, and after being discovered, the gang tried to escape. The crime took place very close to the camp of the Reclamation Brigade, and the thieves chose the wrong direction, and they ran in the direction of the people who were resting on vacation. The people heard the shout of "catch the thief" and immediately rushed forward.

According to the confession of the only survivor of the three adult thieves, they thought that they might be able to blend in with the crowd. As a result, I didn't expect the clothes of the people in Fengtai County to be clean, although there were patches, they were neatly sewn. It's not at all the same as their ragged appearance. As soon as they approached the people, their ragged clothes and the smell on their bodies were like indicator lights, and their original plan to blend in with the crowd completely failed. When the people saw that it was the people from other places who had stolen the crops, they immediately felt like they had eaten gunpowder, and not only the men were very heavy, but even the women screamed: "Kill them!" Kill them! "The fists and feet fell like raindrops.

Fortunately, everyone didn't have a guy in their hands, just fists and feet. When the soldiers of the insurance regiment finally "rescued" these people, the first two of the three adult thieves had already been beaten and were dying. It didn't take long for him to die. For the three children, although the people also beat them, they were merciful, and the degree of injury was limited to skin and flesh injuries. The local department guarding the farmland didn't pay much attention either, and after questioning them, they handed over the few surviving people to the police system. The next day, comrades from the police system went to arrest Zhu Cunshui, who had slipped through the net, but Zhu Cunshui escaped. Zhu Cunshui's hidden potatoes were also recovered.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal. The holiday guard is not strict enough, but the holiday has passed, and the strength of the farmland guard system has been strengthened. It's not a big deal. There's no way there's going to be a lot of fanfare in the whole refugee camp to catch a thief, right?

But I never expected that on the night of the failure to arrest Zhu Cunshui. Suddenly, there were several cases of malicious destruction of farmland. The stalks of the rice in the paddy fields have been broken, and the potatoes in the potato fields have also been destroyed. Although the scale is small, these sabotages are malicious. The perpetrators did not do it to steal, but purely to sabotage. When the troops and the people who had come to harvest saw this, their anger immediately erupted.

In the face of such a vicious case, the reclamation brigade immediately conducted an investigation, and the result of the investigation was that "it is absolutely impossible for the local people to do this." Since it was not the local people who did it, then only the victims who were displaced to Fengtai County would do it. If there is no comprehensive investigation, only a small number of local people and soldiers in Fengtai County will know about this. The result of this large-scale investigation is to spread the news throughout Fengtai County.

Farmers may be able to accept that a little grain has been stolen, but they must not accept someone to spoil it. Not to mention the current disaster year. And then the mood of the masses immediately exploded. In fact, the total number of destroyed crops was less than one acre of land, and after oral transmission, the destroyed crops changed from a dozen acres to a hundred and ten acres. In the end, it soared to the level of more than 500 acres.

Originally, people were very dissatisfied with the provision of free food to the victims, and feeding them food meant that the people's food rations were cut. Originally, the victims were isolated near the county seat, and everyone was out of sight and out of mind. The last time the victims stole things and ran to the vicinity of the camp of the reclamation brigade, the local people immediately took a ruthless attack. I heard that some people from other places had destroyed food, and the attitude of the local people was very unanimous, and they must drive out these white-eyed wolves from other towns, and they could no longer give them food.

Under such pressure, the police system has also had to temporarily strengthen law and order, and has begun large-scale interrogations of suspicious persons. At this time, a rumor began to circulate in the refugee camp. This rumor is quite cleverly created, "Fengtai County has already had a bumper harvest this time, and they are afraid that the victims will eat their food, so they are ready to drive all the victims away." The people who came here to take refuge will definitely not survive. ”

Fengtai County did not have much relief food for the victims, and the victims were always in a state of semi-starvation. After hearing this, even the most honest victims felt a panic in their hearts. Winter is coming soon, and it is difficult for everyone to survive this winter with no house to live in, no clothes to wear, and live under the "transparent" grass hut and eat the thin porridge. And once he is driven away, he will definitely die.

And the key point in this "message" is that the situation in the "rumors" is actually true. "Fengtai County has indeed harvested", "The people of Fengtai County are afraid that the victims of the disaster will eat the grain of Fengtai", "The people of Fengtai County really want to drive the victims away".

Since the members of the police system are also locals, not only ordinary people, but the police are also quite emotional, "If you don't tell the truth, we will drive you all away." Such harsh words are used very frequently when interrogating "suspicious elements". After the "suspicious elements" were released, the information they brought back confirmed the "rumors". So the whole refugee area was in an uproar.

Dai Enze reported the above ins and outs to Shang Yuan, although Shang Yuan was very dissatisfied with these victims after listening to it, but at the same time, he was also a little impressed by Dai Enze's ability. If it was an ordinary person, it would have been a fuss a long time ago, and one of the reasons why Chen Keli asked Dai Enze to preside over the police work at that time was that Dai Enze had suffered a lot and knew the desperation of those who were desperate. Shang Yuan felt that this was very reasonable, and when he encountered the actual situation, Dai Enze's performance really did not disappoint everyone.

"Comrade Dai Enze, what do you think should be done now?" Shang Yuan asked.

Looking at Shang Yuan's slightly nervous expression, Dai Enze said cautiously: "Secretary Shang, as a county commander, you can appear as a county commander and go to the people in person. Tell everyone that this is a misunderstanding, and Fengtai County will definitely not drive away the people. ”

"It's not that hard." Shang Yuan nodded.

"Now these victims are just worried, and the people of Fengtai County have hope, so they won't really make trouble. But if these people want to live, at least someone will have to take care of them this winter, or they will die. It's not so much that they're listening to rumors, it's that they're already worried, and now they're just showing it. Dai Enze then explained. He is actually very aware of the psychology of these people, when he was a beggar in Shanghai, there is really no tomorrow today. In order to survive, he would follow the insurance group that he had never known all his life to Fengtai County. And after keeping up with the insurance group at that time, Dai Enze was not afraid of following strangers. His only fear was that he couldn't shake off the despair of being a beggar with no future in sight.

Based on this understanding, Dai Enze concluded, "Secretary Shang, as long as we don't back down, we don't do anything. Plus you go to appease, so you can calm down temporarily. ”

Shang Yuan agreed. Now there is no other good way, really let him order the armed suppression of nearly 100,000 victims, Shang Yuan will definitely not be able to do this.

Seeing Shang Yuan frowning slightly and his face full of solemnity, Dai Enze knew that Shang Yuan had made up his mind, and he mentioned another question a little hesitantly: "Secretary Shang, after the matter calms down this time, we can't rely on our own police alone." We have to gather people from the victims, if we are in charge of the victims ourselves, first, we are not familiar with the victims, and second, we will definitely not be able to do so ruthlessly. ”

Shang Yuan didn't expect Dai Enze to make such a suggestion, but when he was about to speak, he saw footsteps, and Hua Xiongmao rushed in directly from outside. The beautiful face of this martial artist was full of anger, and as soon as he entered the door, he first inspected the circle, and asked, "Where is Wen Qing?" ”

It's okay not to mention Chen Ke, but the mention of Chen Ke immediately aroused Shang Yuan's dissatisfaction, and Chen Ke's act of being the shopkeeper made Shang Yuan very angry. He replied with a cold face: "Secretary Chen handed over the matter to me to deal with this time." If he is in a hurry, there is no need to bother him. ”

Hua Xiongmao didn't expect Shang Yuan to answer so strongly, and looked at Shang Yuan a few times with a look of surprise, but he didn't object. Shang Yuan is not a person who speaks, since he said that Chen Ke handed over the handling of this matter to Shang Yuan, then this should also be for sure.

Shang Yuan didn't pay attention to Hua Xiongmao, he continued to ask Dai Enze, "Comrade Dai Enze, just now you said that you want to recruit disaster victims to enrich the police force, and you also said that they are more ruthless than us, why is this?" ”

Without waiting for Dai Enze to speak, Hua Xiongmao had already taken over the conversation in a mocking tone, "This is simple, the victims are not all from one place, as long as they can eat enough, they are more able to do it." Anyway, the resentment is all from our Fengtai County, but if they are not ruthless, they will be hungry. Well, according to what Wen Qing said before, this is called ......, what is this called mobilizing the masses to fight the masses. ”

Hearing this, Shang Yuan glared at Hua Xiongmao with a look of disgust. If Chen Kezai was replaced, Hua Xiongmao would never dare to talk such nonsense. Hua Xiongmao was facing Dai Enze at this time, and he didn't see Shang Yuan's gaze at all. The police force was also initially trained by the Insurance Corps. Dai Enze was also Hua Xiongmao's subordinate, so he said in a natural commanding tone: "Enze, if you use force, can your people resist it?" ”

Dai Enze looked embarrassed, and he didn't know whether he was worried about the combat effectiveness of the police force or felt that it was not appropriate to raise objections to the old leader, but he still told the truth, "Brigade Commander Hua, these people may not be able to do it. As long as Secretary Shang goes to persuade him with good words as a county order, these people should be honest. ”

After listening to Dai Enze's solution, Hua Xiongmao was not angry because of the opposition, his dissatisfaction was that he was very uninterested in this plan, "Cut, these people are just afraid that they will not be so honest." If you don't look at it, most of the people who came to flee this time were strong. There are a lot of young people, and it will definitely make trouble for these people to get together. If you ask Secretary Shang to persuade you, those who drag their families with their mouths may listen, but those who come here alone are afraid that they will not be so obedient. If you don't stand up for yourself, you will still have an accident after persuasion alone. ”

Hua Xiongmao's voice was very loud, and he felt that this was the right reason, and he was full of energy. Without waiting for Dai Enze to speak, three people came in outside, led by Zhang Yu, the leader of the water detachment. The other two were Li Zhao, the political commissar of the water detachment, and Pan Yongxin, the deputy captain. He heard Hua Xiongmao's words before he came in, and as soon as he entered the house, Zhang Yu objected: "This is not good, many of the victims are the people of our newly liberated areas. It's not impossible for you to beat them up here. However, these people have fled, and their hearts will inevitably be wild. Now that they remember our hatred, when they return to their hometown in the future, they may not follow us. It's not right to do that. ”

Hua Xiongmao turned his head and glared at Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu didn't care about Hua Xiongmao's dissatisfaction at all, but saluted Hua Xiongmao very seriously according to the etiquette of the troops. Hua Xiongmao didn't expect Zhang Yu to come to this hand at all. Although he was dissatisfied, he had to return the military salute according to etiquette. Zhang Yu then saluted Shang Yuan, and Shang Yuan also returned the salute. When Zhang Yu turned to Dai Enze, Dai Enze's military rank was lower than Zhang Yu, and he hurriedly saluted Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu also returned the military salute in a proper manner.

Although this style seemed very contrived to Hua Panda, he had to admit that the atmosphere in the room immediately calmed down a lot. After everyone greeted each other, Shang Yuan spoke first, "This time, Secretary Chen asked me to deal with this matter with full authority, since everyone is here, first come up with a charter that can solve the current situation." Let Comrade Dai Enze first introduce the situation. ”

Dai Enze had already told Shang Yuan the ins and outs of the problem once, and when he talked about it again, he would be more organized. After listening to the situation, Hua Xiongmao said: "Now we must be prepared for repression and be prepared. ”

Comrades cannot but agree with such a common-sense proposal. At this time, I heard a sharp bell outside, and it was time to put porridge. I don't know who rang the bell for the porridge, and soon, the noise from outside immediately became much higher. Hearing this voice, everyone in the room couldn't help but change their faces.
