Chapter 5 Touching the Tiger's Ass
ps: This chapter is the Shanxi Wo case (3), asking for monthly ticket support
Ruan Yiyong returned to Qiao's hotel, and Yuan Keren and the others had already finished dinner. + Top + Point + Small + Say + + Ruan Yiyong told Yuan Keren about the black brick kiln, Yuan Keren was also very surprised, and asked him: "What are you going to do next?" ”
Ruan Yiyong said: "I am going to take someone to Hongdong County, Linfen City, to find out the inside story of the black brick kiln, and by the way, help Zhou Yunxiu find her son Zhou Xiaoming." ”
Yuan Keren shook his head and said, "It is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake. Our current status is just an ordinary commissioner of the Anti-Corruption Commissioner, and if you go to check it publicly, it is likely to be a surprise. You said that there are no grassroots governments to rectify the black kilns that are common in Shanxi, and there are even local labor inspectors who have resold the rescued black workers for profit, and there must be a protective umbrella behind the black brick kilns, so we had better find a separate reason. ”
Feng Jiayu said: "I agree with Brother Yuan's opinion. Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, I propose to carry out a civil explosives screening operation throughout the province, so that the net can be drawn to check the foreign population. Nguyen Yiyong nodded and said, "That's a good idea." I agree. ”
Yuan Keren said: "Okay, let's start with the case of the black brick kiln, as the first case since we became the commissioner of the ICAC. ”
The night was dark, and in Caosheng Village, Guangshengsi Town, Hongdong County, there were occasionally a few wolf dogs barking in the village! Like countless black brick kilns, the brick kilns of Wang Dongji, the village party secretary, and his son Wang Dabing live on a hillside outside Caosheng Village. In recent years, because of the discovery of many coal mines in Shanxi, many rural people have become rich as miners or small coal mine bosses, and farmers have to build houses when they save money. Therefore, the demand for bricks is very strong, so there are many brick kilns in Shanxi. In order to save costs, most of them are black brick kilns without certificates. Even the villagers surnamed Duan in Sangou Village, which is just a stone's throw away from the Caosheng Village Kiln Factory, admit it. They had never been in a brick kiln - there were six ferocious wolfdogs, which were formidable. Every morning at five o'clock, the kiln factory will hear the rumbling sound of the machine, and the lights that are not extinguished at twelve o'clock in the evening make outsiders feel the busyness.
The owner of this brick kiln is Wang Dabing, his father Wang Dongji, and his younger brother Wang Dajiang. and two other friends in partnership. The first two years of the brick kiln were not profitable, and the daily wage of 13 yuan could only be employed by old and infirm women. There are not many village-run enterprises in Caosheng Village. Most of the young and middle-aged laborers either go out to work or dig coal in nearby coal mines. Because the brick kiln is a heavy physical work, and the salary is far less than that of coal digging, there have been few young and middle-aged people. As soon as it rains. No one can be found to work. I could only watch the bricks get drenched.
Later, the kiln owner Wang Dabing got acquainted with Heng Tinghan, the foreman of the Henan contract, and the two reached a "contracting agreement" to pay the contract foreman Wang Dong about 110,000 yuan in wages every year, according to the scale of 31 people, even if the full amount is paid, the monthly salary of each person is only about 300 yuan. The conclusion of this surprisingly low contract agreement clearly implied from the outset the peculiarities of the potters employed. However, Wang Dabing, as the owner of the kiln, reached a tacit understanding with Heng Tinghan, and even Wang Dongji, the village party secretary who was the person in charge of the agreement, also acquiesced.
The kiln owner, Wang Dabing, is a well-known bully in the area. On one occasion he sold spoiled grain to a neighbouring township. was investigated by the police of the local police station, and he confronted the police station with detonators strapped all over his body. After the incident, the policemen who seized his food were beaten up for a while.
Zhou Yunxiu's son Zhou Xiaoming is looking for is in the black brick kiln of Wang Dabing's house. He ran away from his hometown, disappeared near the Taiyuan railway station, and was abducted and trafficked to a black brick kiln. At this moment, after a long period of devastation, he had long hair, a dull gaze, and bruises and purulent wounds all over his body. He is just one of many child laborers and migrant workers with intellectual disabilities. Among their slaves, who used both hands and feet and had hair like savages, some had been cut off from the outside world for seven years, some had been maimed by Wang Dajiang, the overseer and Wang Dadong's younger brother, for attempting to escape, and some of the children had their backs burned with red-hot bricks by the overseer Wang Dajiang; They work more than 16 hours a day and are not allowed to eat enough. Sometimes due to overwork, a little slacking off, will be Wang Dajiang picked up the brick smashed head and blood, and then casually pick up a rag and wrap it, continue to work, as for punching and kicking, stick waiting is even more commonplace, and even some children are seriously injured by the thugs, and do not give medical treatment, let the kiln heal themselves, if they cannot heal themselves or the injury worsens, when they are dying, let the deceived stupid hard labor be buried alive. These children are covered with psoriasis-like dander because they have not bathed for a long time, and their youngest is only eight years old. Eight-year-olds are forced to do heavy work in the brick kiln every day in order to have a full meal.
Moreover, the place where they slept was a black room with no beds, only a brick floor covered with straw mats, and no fire in winter, and the overseer Wang Dajiang locked them in the black room like cattle, and more than 30 people could only "lay on the ground" with their backs to the ground, while there were five thugs and six wolf dogs patrolling outside the door, and three meals a day were steamed buns, drinking cold water, without any vegetables, and each meal had to be eaten within 15 minutes. If they move a little slowly, they will be mercilessly beaten by thugs, so they are all covered in bruises. Moreover, Wang Dajiang and the thugs forced them to go down to the kiln to carry the bricks that had not yet cooled, most of them had no shoes, and their feet were mostly burned by the hot brick kiln, because they had not bathed for a long time, cut their hair and brushed their teeth, they all had long hair shawls, scruffy beards, and smelly, and the dirt on their bodies could be scraped off with knives. Not long ago, Liu Bao, a migrant worker from Gansu Province who suffers from congenital dementia, was hit on the head with a shovel by the thug Zhao Yanbing because of his slow work, and he fell into a coma on the spot, and died in a dark room the next day. Several thugs wrapped Liu Bao's body in plastic sheeting and buried it in a nearby barren mountain.
Under Yuan Keren's arrangement, Shanxi Province immediately arranged a unified investigation of civil explosives. During their mission, the Guangshengsi Township Police Station in Hongdong County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province, found 31 migrant and child laborers who had been forced to work and were abused in the brick kiln in Caosheng Village, and one migrant worker with dementia had been beaten to death.
It turned out that the police from the Guangshengsi Town Police Station in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province, went to Caosheng Village to check for illegal civil explosives, and suddenly found a man with a hair scattered and dirt all over his body. After understanding, this person turned out to be a worker in a local black brick kiln! The police suspected that the kiln had mistreated migrant workers. In the afternoon of the same day, Luo Zhijun, the newly appointed director of the Hongdong County Public Security Bureau, sent more than 30 police officers to surround the black brick kiln. Thirty-one workers were rescued. On the day when the police rescued the migrant workers, they controlled the brick kiln owner Wang Dabing and two thugs, and the foreman Heng Tinghan and three thugs fled. Wang Dabing is the eldest son of Wang Dongji, the village party secretary of Caosheng Village.
The workers were very excited. Ran out like crazy. was finally rescued, and they all said that they never wanted to go back. Most of them suffered extensive burns on their hands, feet and bodies, and some were even so injured that they were unable to walk and were carried out on stretchers by the police. Most of them were arranged by the police to eat, bathe, and change clothes, and because of extreme panic, eight of them left on their own while the police were unprepared. No information was left behind. Six seriously injured people were taken directly to the nearby Shanxi Coking Plant Hospital for hospitalization.
After receiving a special report from Luo Zhijun, director of the Hongdong County Public Security Bureau, Yuan Keren and Ruan Yiyong immediately led people to Caosheng Village in Hongdong County. Unexpectedly, when they arrived. I saw a row of low small black kilns, and there were bricks in it that had not had time to be moved, and the mouth of the kiln was full of fired and deformed defective bricks; A pile of half-supported and half-standing sheds, and the cardboard used to lay the floor in the shed is still in place. The slime pile at the mouth of the kiln has not yet had time to run out. The bricks that have not yet been fired next to them are neatly stacked. The ferocious wolfdog was gone, and the black house where migrant workers and child laborers lived was burned down by unidentified people, leaving only a pile of rubble and scattered broken rubber shoes and worn clothes in one corner of the site.
Ruan Yiyong grabbed Luo Zhijun's shirt and yelled at him, "What's going on? You, the police chief, look young, but too young to know how to protect the scene and witnesses? ”
Luo Zhijun said: "We received instructions from the main leaders of Linfen City and gave migrant workers and child laborers hundreds of yuan in travel and living expenses. Except for the 8 who left on their own. The remaining 23 people were sent to Hongdong Railway Station and Long-distance Bus Station in batches to return to their hometowns on their own. ”
Nguyen Ngai Dung pulled out the pistol at his waist. Pointing to Luo Zhijun's head, he said, "I don't care about anyone's instructions, you go and get them back immediately." ”
Luo Zhijun broke out in a cold sweat on his head and said, "This ...... The victim left in a hurry, and the address information of 6 people is unknown, so I am afraid that it will be ...... for a while."
Yuan Keren pulled Ruan Yiyong away and said, "Yiyong, don't be impulsive, I think Director Luo is a good official, otherwise he wouldn't expose the black brick kiln here." In this way, we will divide our troops into two ways, and you and your family will go to the city to find out whose instructions were to dismiss these workers. I had a chat with Wang Dongji, the village secretary of Caosheng Village. ”
Ruan Yiyong nodded and said, "That's fine." ”
Half an hour later, in a simple cave behind a hillside, Yuan Keren met Wang Dongji, the old village party secretary of Caosheng Village, who the local police said had mysteriously disappeared after the incident. But in fact, he has been hiding in the barren mountain cave behind the brick kiln.
Wang Dongji has ten years of experience in the army, served as the deputy platoon commander of the infantry of the Second Army, made two third-class meritorious services in the army, and joined the Baath Party, in a battle against the British army, he was shot in the left leg, and was later sawed off, after demobilization, he served as the village party secretary, and was also the representative of the Hongdong County council.
Seeing Yuan Keren and other commissioners of clean government, 58-year-old Wang Dongji cried and said regretfully: "I can't wash away my sins by jumping into the Yellow River, I'm sorry for the party, I'm sorry for the people, and now I might as well crash to death!" ”
Yuan Keren sneered and said, "You are not sorry for the Baath Party, you are not sorry for the people, you are just sorry for the 31 mentally disabled migrant workers and abused child laborers." ”
Wang Dongji knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "I am willing to accept any treatment from the organization, I joined the party in the rain of bullets, and my only request is to keep my party membership." ”
Yuan Keren said: "Do you remember why you joined the Ba'ath Party in the first place? Are you guilty of burying mentally handicapped workers alive? ”
Wang Dongji said: "I really don't know about the dead man. Everything is because my son Wang Dadong is anxious to get rich and takes the blame for himself. Since my wife passed away unexpectedly in a car accident last year, I have rarely gone to my son's house for a meal. ”
Wang Dongji's father and son usually leave the impression that the villagers are "domineering and no one dares to provoke". Yuan Keren said solemnly: "I just inquired in the village, you pass by the brick kiln almost every day, will you not know?" ”
Wang Dongji said, "I once asked Heng Tinghan about the origin of those stupid workers and child laborers, and I was replied that after bringing them from my hometown, I didn't see things in my bones."
Seeing that Wang Dongji was still pushing everything on his son, Yuan Keren threw out a stack of account books from Caosheng Village and shouted: "You withhold the agricultural subsidy allocated by the state, 20 yuan per mu; The approval fee for rural homesteads is 6,000 yuan per piece, and it also occupies the wasteland where the ancestral grave is located in the village, and charges burial fees, what a big mouse! ”
Wang Dongji said: "The commissioners have clearly observed that the money in the village has been invested in the construction of the village primary school and road construction. ”
Yuan Keren waved his hand at the policeman behind him and said, "Arrest Wang Dongji first!" Wang Dongji, you do it yourself, go to the prison and wait for your two sons first! ”
While resisting, Wang Dongji shouted loudly: "I am a representative of the parliamentarians, and you have no right to arrest me!" ”
Only then did Yuan Keren remember that according to the current law, deputies of parliamentarians cannot be arrested directly, and they must wait for the county to convene a general meeting of parliamentarians to terminate their qualifications before they can be arrested. He thought for a while and said, "Then first imprison him on the grounds of serious violation of party discipline!" ”
The next day, the foreman Heng Tinghan and three thugs were also arrested. Ruan Yiyong, who also returned from Linfen City, told Yuan Keren: "The person who intervened in the case was Zhang Gongyi, the mayor of Linfen, but he was also under pressure from the province. ”
Yuan Keren said: "It turns out that there is a big tiger behind this black brick kiln!" Who is it? ”
Ruan Yiyong replied: "Member of the Standing Committee of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and Mayor of Taiyuan ordered the army. He previously served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Linfen Municipal Party Committee. ”
Yuan Keren said: "Then we really have to touch the tiger's buttocks!" First of all, the truth of the ascertained case will be announced to the major newspapers to reduce the pressure of handling the case! We must rely on our own ability to give justice to those child laborers and mentally handicapped migrant workers! (To be continued......)
