Before the old chief could speak, He Yuelong took the initiative to say: "Chief, I'll go down and have a look first, ask about the situation, and if it's something that the county party committee and county government can handle or solve, I'll give them an answer on the spot; if it can't be solved for the time being or we don't have the right to deal with it, you can listen to their complaints." Do you think that's okay?"

The old chief nodded and said, "When you go down to ask about the situation, you should have a better attitude and don't scare them." Also, this is about to be the New Year, the mother and daughter knelt on the highway to shout grievances, I guess they should indeed have any grievances or grievances, you should ask well, come back and tell me. ”

He Yuelong came to the front of the convoy and saw a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old woman with a little girl about ten years old, kneeling straight in the middle of the road. Gu Zhenmin and the others did not receive instructions from the old chief, and they did not dare to forcibly pull them up or drive them away.

He Yuelong saw that the woman was holding a big red paper in her hand, which was densely filled with words, and it was estimated that this was their form of paper, so he walked over and said to the woman: "Eldest sister, I am He Yuelong, secretary of the Wushui County Party Committee. Do you have any grievances, can you tell me about them?"

The woman looked up at him, shook her head, and said, "I won't tell you." Your official is too small, and it's useless to tell you. To tell you the truth: I want to sue Zhang Bichi, the mayor of Mingguang City. I know that the head of the Central Committee is here today, so I came to block the road and cry out for injustice. I want to see the central leadership!"

He Yuelong was taken aback and suddenly remembered an incident: When he arrived in Wushui, he called the director of the Letters and Visits Bureau to the office to learn about the situation of the petition work in Wushui County -- because the Spring Festival was coming soon, and the Spring Festival was often a period of high incidence of petitioning incidents, and it was also a critical period for local governments to maintain stability, so he asked the director of the Letters and Visits Bureau to report to him in detail on the situation of some old petitioners in the county.

The director of the Bureau of Letters and Visits focused on two things: One was the incident of Li Dongming, who had just told the old chief a story about Li Dongming, who had just started a fire with the government, and the other was that the director of the Bureau of Letters and Visits also reported to him in detail at that time, but because this petition incident involved Zhang Bichi, the mayor of Mingguang City, he did not tell the old chief.

According to the description of the director of the Letters and Visits Bureau, the incident is as follows: There is a deputy director of the Wushui County Highway Bureau named Li Deyu. Three years ago, he served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the highway reconstruction project from Wushui County to Leigong Town. After bidding for the project, he found that the Yuanda Road and Bridge Company, which had won the bid, had no qualifications to build a secondary road, so he went to the leaders of the Mingguang City Highway Bureau, which was in charge of the project, to report the situation and asked for a new bidding, but was rejected outright.

Later, through investigation, he learned that the boss of Yuanda Road and Bridge Company was the brother-in-law of Zhang Bichi, the mayor of Mingguang City. From this, he came to the conclusion that the bidding for this section of the project was definitely operated in the dark.

So, he found a few bosses of the road and bridge company who participated in the bidding at that time, and invited one of the bosses to dinner as a friend through the relationship, and after getting drunk, the boss finally confided in the inside story of the so-called bidding: the bidding team of the Mingguang Highway Bureau delineated a list of shortlisted enterprises qualified to participate in the bidding in advance, a total of ten enterprises, including Yuanda Road and Bridge Company. Then, he asked Zhang Bichi's brother-in-law to go to the bosses of the other nine companies one by one and clearly inform them that the project was internally assigned to Yuanda Company, and if they were willing to cooperate in the bidding process, Yuanda Company was willing to compensate them for the cost of 100,000 yuan; if they did not cooperate, even if they won the bid for this project, they would definitely not make money in the future.

These bosses all knew that he was Zhang Bichi's brother-in-law, so no one dared to really bid with him, and they were happy to get 100,000 yuan in benefits. As a result, in the bidding process, the plans offered by these nine companies were thousands of miles away from the bottom of the bidding, and Yuanda Company successfully won the project contract......

After learning of this inside story, Li Deyu, who was upright by nature, was filled with righteous indignation, rushed to write a document overnight, printed many copies, and went to Mingguang City the next day to submit the materials to the Mingguang City Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Municipal People's Congress, the CPPCC, and all members of the Standing Committee of the Mingguang Municipal Party Committee except Zhang Bichi.

Lei Yiming, secretary of the Mingguang Municipal Party Committee at that time, took the initiative to show Zhang Bichi Li Deyu's materials in order to get closer to Zhang Bichi, and said on the spot: "This Li Deyu is really crazy, he will be sent to a mental hospital sooner or later if he fabricates facts and bites people everywhere like this!"

Zhang Bichi didn't say anything at the time, but kept thanking Secretary Lei for his understanding and trust. But on the third day, Li Deyu was suddenly forcibly taken away from his office by several so-called psychiatric hospital doctors in white coats, and sent to a psychiatric hospital in another city, where he lived an isolated life as a "mentally ill" person, a condition that lasted for three years.

In the past three years, Li Deyu's lover resigned from his job in the kindergarten, sold his house in the city, and took his daughter a few years old to live in his own home in Lei Gong Town. Later, in order to curry favor with Zhang Bichi, Liu Xuewen, the former secretary of the Wushui County Party Committee, simply arranged for a village cadre in the village where Li Deyu's lover now lives, and personally contacted him, and the Letters and Visits Bureau gave him 500 yuan every month to monitor the whereabouts of their mother and daughter, and once they were found out of the village, they would immediately report to the county......

After listening to the report of the director of the Bureau of Letters and Visits, He Yuelong did not comment on a word, but only told him: This family member of Li Deyu is still the target of the county's key monitoring. After all, this matter is related to Mayor Zhang Bichi, and if she is allowed to petition in the province and the capital, it will damage Mayor Zhang's reputation......

Who knows, since Liu Xuewen was arrested, the village cadre in charge of guarding the mother and daughter in the village saw that Liu Xuewen had fallen, and he didn't know who to ask for his 500 yuan, so he didn't bother to care about them. It just so happened that Li Deyu's wife's cousin was the deputy mayor of Lei Gongzhen who had received Director Li of the Central Security Bureau and others. He learned from the police officer of the police station who took Director Li and others to Lengxi Village: On the morning of the 28th lunar month, there may be a big leader of the central government who will go to Lengxi Village. So, he immediately called his cousin and asked her to take her daughter to the highway to stop the car and cry out......

He Yuelong had already guessed the identity of the mother and daughter at this time, so he asked, "This eldest sister, may I ask if you are Li Deyu's lover?"

The woman nodded and said, "That's right! It seems that you, the new secretary of the county party committee, are good, and you actually know about my husband in just a few days." However, you can't manage this matter if you want to, so please take me to the head of the Central Committee!"

He Yuelong said: "Eldest sister, the chief who came here today is over 90 years old and has been retired for many years. In my opinion, you should go back first and solve your husband's problem through the normal petition channel!"

The woman sneered and said, "Secretary He, you don't have a low back pain when you stand and talk! If the problem can be solved through normal channels, why should I still take my daughter to kneel on this cold road? My husband is obviously not mentally ill, but he secretly instructed people to put him under house arrest in a psychiatric hospital. You know that place, normal people come in and out, and they will definitely become mentally ill people coming out. I don't have any other requirements, I just ask you to release him, and our family will have a reunion Spring Festival. We won't sue those corrupt officials! We're afraid, we're going to bow down, okay?"

At this, she couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Seeing that he persuaded her not to leave, He Yuelong beckoned to Gu Zhenmin and Qiu Guangrong, asked them to come over, and whispered, "The old chief is here to recuperate this time. The issues involved in this woman are more complicated, and when the old chief finds out, it will affect his old man's mood. In my opinion, you still arranged for a few people to forcibly pull them away and let the convoy pass first. As for the problems she reflected, we will report them to our superiors. ”

Gu Zhenmin said hesitantly: "Secretary He, is this appropriate?"

"It's the only way to do it now, just do what I say!"

Seeing that he was resolute and considering that it was indeed inappropriate for the old chief to come and inquire about these petitions, Gu Zhenmin and Qiu Guangrong followed He Yuelong's instructions and called a few accompanying police officers from the police car and asked them to take the mother and daughter back to the village.

He Yuelong returned to the old chief's car and said to the old chief with a smile: "Chief, I asked about the situation: this woman with her daughter sued, her husband turned out to be the deputy director of the Wushui Highway Bureau. Three years ago, the deputy director became mentally ill and was sent to a psychiatric hospital by his unit for treatment. This woman believes that her husband is not sick and that someone deliberately framed her husband, so she has been petitioning everywhere for several years. I have told her that the county party committee and the highway bureau will re-evaluate her husband as soon as possible, and that the police will persuade them to go home. ”

The old chief asked a little puzzled: "What is the matter with this woman? Is it not clear whether her husband is mentally ill or not? She has been petitioning for several years about this? ”

After speaking, he shook his head again and again.

This is when the convoy began to move. The old chief didn't ask He Yuelong anything more, just stared out the window, as if thinking about something.

Suddenly, through the window glass, the old chief saw that under an eaves on the side of the highway, several public security officers were dragging two women, one older and one small. The two women struggled and wept incessantly. Although their cries were not heard through the window, it could be seen from the way they struggled desperately and the desperate expressions on their faces that they were desperately trying to throw themselves into the middle of the road again to cry out.

The old chief's face changed sharply, he turned his head to look at He Yuelong, whose face was like dirt, and ordered majestically: "Stop!"

The car came to a halt in the middle of the road, and a guard ran over and pulled the door open, helping the old chief out.

The old chief's face was frosty, and he shouted to the few police officers who were still pulling the mother and daughter hard: "Stop! Let their mother and daughter come over!"
