Chapter 1366: Speaking Uprightly

ealing with officials. But most officials gave me the feeling that they were aloof and superior, and some even deliberately tried to obstruct our business. 。After arriving in An County, I realized tha...Although the economic crisis has dealt a heavy blow to Yue's economy, as one of the three old-fashioned "first-tier cities" in the country, Yue's lifestyle is naturally very different from that of other small towns and counties. 。A single cup of coffee reveals a great deal. 。Xiao Zheng, Lu Wei, Yang Xuele and the driver finished their coffee and returned to the Guangdong Provincial Flood Emergency Command Center. The sleepiness had mostly dissipated, so they switched shifts with team leader Zheng Aimin and other experts. 。The shift ended at dawn, everything was as usual. Fine weather would continue, the water level of the Pearl River kept receding, and the flood control mission could be said to have temporarily concluded. 。

Good morning, everyone, we are having breakfast together happily at the Yue Duo Hotel. Zheng, the team leader, said: "Today, let's communicate with the main leaders of the provincial Party committee and provincial government. There are no major issues, we will return home tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest." 。“As a working group, we are only responsible for guiding the flood control and rescue process. For post-disaster reconstruction work, local Party committees and governments are still responsible.” 。And, returning to Beijing early also indicates that the guidance group's work is swift, and it's good to report to the leaders as soon as possible. 。Xiao Zheng and Lu Wei naturally had no objections. 。After breakfast, Zheng Aimin, Xiao Zhang, Lu Wei and others went to the provincial committee together. 。As we reached the courtyard gate, a crowd of over a hundred people gathered there. Armed police blocked the entrance, preventing the crowd from entering. It seemed that officials were working with the public, trying to persuade them to go to the Complaint Handling Bureau to discuss their issues. 。But the crowd didn't seem to want to, and another military police truck drove over and stopped, with dozens of military policemen getting out. 。It appears that a conflict is about to occur. 。Xiao Zheng vaguely felt something was amiss. He said to Zheng Aimin: "Team Leader Zheng, could we stop for a moment I'll go take a look." 。"Zheng Zuozhang was also curious about what these people were doing What demands did they have He was afraid it had something to do with the recent flood relief efforts! As the head of the team, Zheng Aimin didn't want to get out of the car to ask. Since Xiao Zheng volunteered, that was even better. He said: "Okay, let's stop the car for a bit." 。"Xiao Zheng got out of the car, Yang Xuehu immediately followed him, unexpectedly Lu Wei also followed." 。Team Leader Zheng wanted to call her back, worrying that as a woman in this situation, she might be unsafe. 。Before Zheng Zuozhang could call her back, Lu Wei had already bumped into the car door. 。Xiao Zheng saw Lu Wei coming up and said, "Group Leader Lu, you are safer in the car." 。"Are you worried the people will attack me Don't worry, they won't. I always reason with people wherever I go." 。The masses also wouldn't just casually beat people up. 。"Lu Wei smiled at him and pushed Xiao Zheng's arm forward with her hand, "With you here, I'm not worried. " 。If anything really happens, I believe you can also protect me. 。Since the experience of hanging from the crane at Longmen, Lu Wei had almost developed a belief: no matter what environment she was in, Xiao Zheng could protect her. 。Xiao Zheng had no choice but to let Lu Wei follow him forward. 。Xiao Zheng also glanced at Yang Xuehu. Yang Xuehu understood the leader's meaning. If there was any chaos, he would protect Lu Wei first. Yang Xuehu nodded. 。When they were about to get closer, a militia member standing on the periphery stopped them, eyeing them with caution: "What are you doing" Xiao Zheng explained: "We are members of the Beijing Flood Relief Work Guidance Group, just here to listen..." 。Over there is our car. 。The militia officer glanced at the car. It was indeed a vehicle from the provincial committee office. Seeing the three people's attire and demeanor, he no longer doubted them. His expression softened slightly: "This is a group incident, it's best not to get too close, for fear of being caught in the crossfire." 。"Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Good," then walked forward with Lu Wei and Yang Xuehu. 。This is in front of the provincial Party Committee and government, how dare you block the entrance here! 。"A tall, square-headed man with big ears and a gray shirt tucked into his belt shouted: 'My name is Shen Liangping, director of the provincial office for handling letters and visits. I'm here according to Comrade Teng Bin, secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Committee, to persuade everyone to go to our provincial office for handling letters and visits to talk.'" 。。"If the local Party and government had prioritized reinforcing the dam, such a disaster wouldn't have happened!" "Some *individuals*, even before the breach, were drinking Moutai and snake soup! Such people must be severely punished!""Hey hey, everyone, don't spread rumors without evidence!" Another man stepped forward. "My name is Huang Kaide, Deputy Secretary of the Meiyu Municipal Party Committee. Let's all go back to Meiyu City together. Don't make a scene at the provincial Party committee and government building! This isn't good for Meiyu City's image, or any of our faces!""Who exactly is losing face" someone shouted from the crowd. "The breach of Meitang Reservoir happened because those irresponsible corrupt officials are losing face for the entire Meiyu City We won't go back; we want to meet with the provincial Party Secretary and report the situation!""Provincial Party Secretary Xiong is incredibly busy, you think you can just meet him whenever you want" Huang Kaide said. "Any issue, you need to address it at the local level, at the grassroots level first!""Are you willing to solve this Are you capable of solving this" Someone yelled from the crowd. "We went to the county, we went to the city, are you even willing to listen to us Are you willing to investigate those *individuals* You won't, you just want to deceive us back and then do nothing, keep fooling us, and delay things!"Hearing this, Xiao Zheng had a pretty good understanding of the situation. These people were indeed the citizens of Meitang County affected by the dam breach. 。

Only to hear Meiyu City Committee Deputy Secretary Huang Kaide shouted: "You speak, don't be so heartless. " 。The Meiyu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have already promised economic compensation to you. What else are you dissatisfied with!” Someone in the crowd shouted: “We want more than just economic compensation, we also want an explanation! Why was the dam problematic but not repaired Why were some **people drinking Moutai and eating snake meat, enjoying life in the second half of the night after the breach**!” Xiao Zheng suddenly noticed that this time the people's visit was not simply out of economic interests, there was also anger towards the inaction of relevant government departments, and a strong dissatisfaction with the cadres **conduct**. 。Xiao Zheng, who has experience as both county party secretary and mayor, keenly felt that this was a more serious issue than economic problems!

However, the leaders of the complaint office, political and legal affairs commission, and other departments present didn't seem to attach importance to the underlying issues. They were only concerned with how to get rid of these people in front of them and silence them. 。Xiao Zheng learned about the situation and no longer lingered on the scene. He said to Lu Wei, "Team Leader Lu, let's go back to the car!" Then he walked back, Yang Xuezhu following behind. 。Lu Wei said to Xiao Zheng, "I feel that most of the problems reflected by the masses are probably true." 。"I'm afraid these people will be arrested! Should we explain to the leaders of the Provincial Complaint Bureau He probably doesn't know the real situation!" Xiao Zheng stopped in his tracks, turned around, and smiled faintly: "He definitely knows. We can't help them here." 。Lu Wei glanced at Xiao Zheng. Did he not want to get involved As an academic, Lu Wei held the most basic principle of hating evil: seeing weak ordinary people, she felt a little like speaking up for them. 。"Instead of helping me out here, why don't you go find the key person" 。"Who is the key person" Lu Wei looked puzzled. Xiao Zheng said, "Secretary Xiong…" 。"

Lu Wei then realized that Xiao Zheng's words might make more sense. " 。Thus, the three returned to their car quickly, and the car drove into the provincial committee courtyard. 。Zheng Aimin didn't expect them to come back so quickly, all three safe and sound. He was relieved, but he still asked, "What happened" Lu Wei repeated what she had heard to Zheng Aimin. 。 impression of you." 。Last time, when there was an earthquake in Shu, I returned to the capital of Shuchuan province from the disaster area. On the way, I met the first relief supplies vehicle. I got...
