Chapter 121: The Ins and Outs

fferent from that of a traitor. "When Song Guoming said this, everyone else looked at Fang Yezhong, as if they all wanted to see what Fang Yezhong meant. 。Fang also leaned against the back of his chai..."Oh 。Li Li blushed slightly and agreed, turning to leave. 。Even on such a hot day, Li Li was still wearing white trousers and flat shoes. While she is tall, it seems that she doesn't know how to dress well. 。Xiao Zheng didn't wait for Li Li and turned to Bai Dakang, saying: "Bai Shuji, you just said that there were villagers who wanted to surround us. What happened" Bai Dakang, upon hearing this, said in a plausible manner: "Xiao Wei Yuan, you didn't see it, did you Just ten minutes ago, our village office was surrounded by villagers! Some of them received the news in advance and said that the working group was coming to the village to carry out the mine closure work. They gathered together and rushed to the village office, saying they wanted to ask the head of the group why their livelihood was being cut off." 。These words, Bai Dakang had said before. 。Before this, Tao Jian had been startled by such words and retreated in fear. He felt quite embarrassed in front of Commissioner Xiao. 。So, in order to save face, Tao Jian interjected: "Bai Shujing, what about those villagers Where have they gone now Not even a shadow of them can be seen!" 。“They're all gone now! I called Commissioner Xiao in front of them and told him not to come.” 。Then I told them, "You won't come," and they all left. 。"Is that really so" Qian Juan asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Bai Shujì, could it be that you don't welcome us, so you said there were villagers blocking us" Qian Juan was an outsider in the town, and her status was the lowest. 。When talking about business, she doesn't usually speak much. 。But today Qian Juan felt deceived by Bai Dakang, so she interjected and questioned him. 。

Bai Dakang didn't dislike Qian Juan at all, instead putting on a very sincere look: "Qian Juan, and Director Tao, in your impression, am I really this kind of person Just now, there were twenty or so villagers waiting for you at the village office! If I hadn't made that call, if I hadn't told them you weren't coming, you would definitely have been surrounded by them. Some of them were carrying hoes, shovels, hammers and other farm implements, and some even picked up stones directly. When they get excited, things could really get out of hand. 。At this time, the female college student village official Li Li walked back in from outside, truly holding a notebook in her hand. 。Bai Dakang, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, hurriedly asked, "Xiao Li, did any villagers come to surround the village office before"

Li Li nodded and said, "Yes" 。The White Book is not fooling anyone. 。“Li Li said, turning her head to glance at Xiao Zheng for a moment, then nodded.” 。Xiao Zheng felt that Li Li should not be lying because her expression looked quite natural. 。"Bai Shu Ji, actually we have no way 。“The chairman of the women's federation, Qin Keli, spoke: 'We are here with the tasks assigned by the town. Whether the villagers are here to besiege us, we are all here to complete the tasks.'" 。"So, you're saying villagers want to surround us Are we just not coming" Qin Keling still didn't quite believe it. Just now, there really were villagers trying to surround them. 。Bai Dakang made a bitter face and said, “Chairman Qin, you still don't believe me, do you” 。I, Bai Dakang, swear here that everything I say is true, or may I never have a son. 。"

Tao Jian said: 'Bai Shujì, you don't need to give birth to a son, your son is born by your wife.'" 。"Besides, I heard your son is almost getting married! You're saying this"

"That..." Bai Dakang didn't know what to say for a moment. 。At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from the corridor, followed by a man's voice: "Da Kang Shuji, Da Kang Shuji, it's not good, those people are back, they're back!"As soon as Bai Dakang heard this, he jumped up from his chair and ran to the corridor, shouting, "Who's here" Xiao Zheng saw a round-faced, black-skinned man with sparse hair appearing in the corridor. Xiao Zheng had a vague impression that this man should also be a village official... 。"Who else could it be" said the village official, "It's those same villagers. They heard people from town had arrived and ran back and forth, saying they wanted to block the leaders coming from town." 。That round-faced village official glanced into the office, smiled with a smirk, but then immediately became nervous. 。Xiao Zheng felt that this person probably wasn't here to deliberately scare them. 。Xiao Zheng looked at the college student village official beside him and asked, "Who is this" Li Li replied, "This is Bai Liubaobao, our village's director of disease prevention and control." 。Xiao Zheng nodded, then said to Qin Keli, Tao Jian, and Qian Juan beside him: "Let's go out and have a look." 。“Having said that, Xiao Zheng got up and walked out. The others followed suit.” 。As they reached the corridor, Bai Liuba made way, standing aside and positioning Xiao Zheng and Bai Dakang together. Qin Keli stood beside Xiao Zheng. 。Bai Dakang pointed outside the courtyard and said, "Xiao Commissioner, I truly haven't lied to you" 。Look at that big locust tree, those people are all running towards here! 。Xiao Zheng hadn't noticed before, but from the second-floor corridor of the village office, he could cross over the courtyard wall and see the mountains outside and the paths hidden under the trees. 。Right now, through the cover of the trees, you can see figures winding their way towards us. 。There are quite a lot of people here, some running, some riding motorcycles. I'd say there are definitely over twenty people here. 。。Even Qin Keli, the chairman of the Women's Federation, was a little nervous. So many villagers had come, and it wasn't easy to handle them. As for Xiao Zheng, he had only just become the town Party committee member. He used to be an ordinary cadre in the town. Qin Keli didn't know how Xiao Zheng would face this situation Compared with Xiao Zheng, Qin Keli had been a middle-level cadre in the town for much longer, and as a woman, she found it easier to do her work. 。Qin Keli volunteered, "Minister Xiao, why don't I go talk to them first You don't have to go down yet"

Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and said to Qin Keli, "Chairwoman Qin, no need to rush. Let's see what happens." 。"Bai Dakang was a bit anxious and said to Xiao Zheng, "Xiao Commissioner, they're coming back for the second time, their emotions must be very agitated. Maybe we should wait and I'll tell them that you, Xiao Commissioner, aren't here about the mining issue, you're just here for a casual village stroll. That way, we might be able to get away with it." 。"But the fact is, we're here to shut down the mine." 。This matter is no small thing, how could you deceive the villagers What's going on now When did we start treating the common people as fierce tigers There's a problem here. 。Let's see what happens. 。"Wait and see." 。But everyone was uneasy, unsure what would happen next. 。Just then, the first batch of two or three shirtless men, riding motorcycles, rushed into the courtyard first, followed by the second batch of men and women, and then the third batch...

Bai Dakang said to Bai Liubao beside him: "You go down and block them quickly, don't let them come up" 。Bailiu Bao said: "There are too many people, I'm afraid I can't hold them back." 。"Bai Dakang said domineeringly, “If you can't stop it, get out of my way, or something bad will happen." 。Bai Liubao was stunned for a moment, but still ran downstairs. After a while, he heard Bai Liu'bao shouting from below: "Everyone, go back!" 。Any news about the mine will be notified to everyone. 。"What are all of you doing here"

With just this one sentence, how could these people leave Someone shouted from below: "Bai Dakang, are these people the town officials Tell them to come down and speak, or we'll charge up!" 。"The town and the village, united together, want to cut off our way out! If they don't give us an explanation, no one can leave here today!"

Bai Dakang said to Xiao Zheng with a bitter face: "Xiao Commissioner, what should we do They just don't want to stop mining! As soon as we talk about stopping mining, they fight us!" Xiao Zheng didn't listen to what Bai Dakang was saying, but instead said: "Secretary Bai, let's go down and take a look." 。“Bai Dakang waved his hand frantically: “Don’t go down there, there are some troublemakers here who could do anything.” 。Today, you only have four people with you. I'm afraid they might hurt you. 。"Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "It's not that serious." 。"At this time, Qin Kelai, the chairman of the Women's Federation, said: "Xiao Weiye, why don't you stay up here first Let us go down and understand the situation first" Xiao Zheng said: "I'll go down with you." 。“I want to get in touch with these ordinary people and understand what their real demands are” Xiao Zheng’s hometown, Green Water Village, makes its living from mining. Villagers have a complex relationship with miners—they hate it more than they love it. 。If people hear of a better way to make a living, they'll certainly choose to do something else. 。This Bai Shui Wan village definitely doesn't want to stop mining, there must be something wrong here, he doesn't know what. 。Saying that, Xiao Zheng walked downstairs, Qin Kexi, Tao Jian, and Qian Juan followed. 。"Commissioner Xiao, you don't actually need to argue with them. These people are unreasonable." 。White Dakang kept calling out from behind and followed along. 。The situation was indeed dire. As Xiao Zheng and the others went downstairs and reached the courtyard's cement platform, they were immediately surrounded. 。Xiao Zheng, Qin Keli, Tao Jian, and Qian Juan were in the center, with dozens of villagers surrounding them. Everyone's face was filled with anger. 。The village Party Secretary Bai Dakang, the Village Security Committee member Bai Liu Bao, and the university student village official Li Li were all trying to dissuade everyone from getting physical, but it was ineffective. It even backfired; the more they tried to calm things down, the more aggressive the villagers became, eager to charge towards Xiao Zheng and his companions. 。Throughout this entire process, Xiao Zheng was observing. 。This group of villagers, numbering in the dozens, but truly leading the charge and stirring up the crowd were only two or three people. 。Among them, the first one wasn't very tall, only reaching Xiao Zheng's eyebrows. She was wearing a white sweat shirt and jeans. 。He had a gold chain as thick as his thumb around his neck and a cigarette dangling from his lips. He looked cool, but Xiao Zheng didn't buy it. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Bai Shujì, you don't need to worry about this. I want to hear what everyone has to say and what their demands are." Bái Dàkāng looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "Commissioner Xiao, this matter..." Xiao Zheng said again, "Really, there's no need to worry. You don't need to dissuade anyone." 。ppeared from sight, Li Haiyan felt a void in her heart. 。Apart from her parents, the two people in the car must be the most important people in her life. 。Xiao Zheng, as Xiao Shu's secretary, went out...
