At seven o'clock, Xu Shaojie entered the municipal party committee compound. Today is his petition reception day. Xu Shaojie must be earlier. But what he didn't expect was that at this time, there were actually petitioners waiting outside. Xu Shaojie shook his head. On the one hand, he felt heavy for the hardships of petitioners, and on the other hand, he felt pressure. To see ordinary people, in Xu Shaojie's impression, when he was the county magistrate of Shalong County, there were not many opportunities, let alone now, he is the deputy secretary of the Huaiyang Municipal Party Committee.

When he entered the office, Xu Shaojie sat on the chair and thought about it for a moment. This was the first time for Xu Shaojie to receive a big visit. Some leaders thought that such a thing was nothing, but Xu Shaojie believed that the petitioner came with great hope, just to solve the problem. If the leader was perfunctory during the reception process, the most likely consequences would be that either the petitioner went directly to the provincial capital or Beijing, or the petitioner was desperate about the party committee and government. Xu Shaojie did not care how other leaders viewed this matter, he must solve the problem.

After the person in charge of the petition office entered the office, he repeatedly said that Secretary Xu had come so early, and Xu Shaojie smiled and said nothing.

"Secretary Xu, there is more than an hour to go to work. Today I will accompany you to receive the petitioners. According to the maximum workload, you can receive 15 petitioners. Even if you reach the limit, we have already arranged lunch and afternoon meals. If you have other work requirements, we will make arrangements immediately."

Xu Shaojie knew that when some leaders received petitioners, their secretaries followed them to facilitate contact with the person in charge of the following units. If the direct contact of the petition office may arouse some opinions.

"There are no other arrangements. If it involves the heads of some municipal units, or counties and cities that need to verify the situation, Huang Zhihua needs to contact us."

The head of the petition office showed a relief expression on his face. Xu Shaojie saw it and did not continue to speak. He knew that the petition office was in a difficult position. After receiving similar notices, the heads of these units would definitely think that the cadres of the petition office played a bad role in the middle.

Just as the head of the petition office was about to say goodbye, Xu Shaojie spoke.

"I saw some people waiting outside the office, why are they coming so early?"

"Secretary Xu, this is how some petitioners know that the leader has limited time and strive to come early, be able to register early, meet the leader and report the situation, because the date of the petition reception date has been announced, and there are many people coming. Some people who come late, so there is no chance, so they can only wait for the next time."

"I think this is true. It is not easy to petition the masses. Now I will go to the reception room and start receiving the petitioners. I don't know if your preparations are too late."

The person in charge of the petition office looked at Xu Shaojie and nodded quickly.

"We have been ready for a long time, but Secretary Xu, you should take a break and wait until work time to start receiving the crowd."

"No need, I'll follow you down now and go to the reception room."

The head of the petition office quickly took the briefcase and teacup from Xu Shaojie. This was originally something Huang Zhihua should have done, but at this time, Huang Zhihua was preparing to organize materials in his office. When Huang Zhihua saw Xu Shaojie walk out of the office, he knew that Xu Shaojie must be ready to start work. He quickly picked up his notebook and water-core pen, closed the office door, and followed behind the head of the petition office.

When Xu Shaojie entered the reception room, there were already many people waiting in the hall for petition, and some people were waiting outside. They didn't know Xu Shaojie, but they saw a young man entering the reception room. Some petitioners didn't know what was going on. At this time, all the cadres of the petition office prepared in the office came over, and everyone called Secretary Xu, and Xu Shaojie smiled and shook hands with everyone. At this time, the petitioners realized that the young man was Xu Shaojie, deputy secretary of the Huaiyang Municipal Party Committee. Some people subconsciously looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was only 7:10.

There is no need for an introduction by the head of the petition office, and the petitioners in the hall and outside quickly began to move. The cadres of the petition office who had long maintained order asked everyone to report the situation one by one according to the registration requirements.

The first one to enter the reception room were three people, two old men and one middle-aged man. The two old men had sadness and helplessness on their faces. They seemed to be the old couple. The middle-aged man's face was very gloomy and seemed to have suffered a big blow.

Before Xu Shaojie could speak, the two old men knelt down when they entered the door. The middle-aged man looked angry and regretful, and tears also appeared in his eyes. He hurried to help the two old men, but he could not help them up. The person in charge of the petition office and the petition cadres on the side were very familiar with this situation, so he gently pulled the two old men up and helped the two old men sit down on the long chair in front of Xu Shaojie.

The two old men couldn't speak, but just handed over a thick stack of materials. The person in charge of the petition office whispered to Xu Shaojie. It turned out that the middle-aged man was the son of the old couple. The old couple had retired long ago. The son used to work in the Finance Bureau, which was quite good. He had a happy family. His grandson was in high school. But two years ago, the old couple's son committed an accident. According to the investigation, the two were embezzled public funds. The procuratorate directly investigated. There were several other cadres from the Finance Bureau who had the accident. After the prosecution, the middle-aged man was sentenced to one year in prison. The other cadres were probated or exempted from prosecution, and kept their jobs. In this case, the middle-aged man lost his job and his family was separated. His wife divorced him and his son was raised by his wife. According to the current regulations, the sentence was suspended.

In cases where the criminal suspect is exempted from prosecution, the suspect can keep his job. After the middle-aged man entered the prison, the old couple couldn't raise his head. In the city, he walked aside, for fear of meeting an acquaintance. Later, when his son was released from prison, the old couple had no choice but to live with his son. The son did not go out for a long time and kept writing materials at home. The old couple was unwilling to stimulate his son, so he didn't care. Later, after the son finished writing the materials, he took the initiative to read them to the old couple. The old couple realized that there were several other cadres who were in the same situation as his son, but they were all probation and even exempted from prosecution, and the crime was more than serious than those of middle-aged men. During the investigation, the middle-aged man gave a lot of money through a lawyer, but he just wanted to save his job. Unexpectedly, he lost both his family and his money.

The old couple was angry. The son committed a crime and should be punished by law. However, why did this happen during the procuratorate's handling of the case? In addition, there is another strange thing about his son's case. Huaiyang City Procuratorate directly investigated. Generally speaking, such a case should be prosecuted after investigation by the Huai'an City Procuratorate. Although the Huaiyang City Procuratorate can investigate directly, the nature of the case is far from that level. The old couple carefully asked about his son some details, including the details of the interrogation, and finally couldn't bear it.

After living there, he started to take his son to petition and reported the situation. The petition office had received many times. The procuratorate and the court made judgments according to the law. They could make judgments based on the attitude of confession. In other words, the same crime and different judgments exist. The petition office had already answered the two old men like this, but the old man was dissatisfied and went to the province several times, without any result. After nearly a year of petition, the old couple was exhausted and slowly lost confidence. This time, they saw the notice on the date of petition reception and wanted to try their luck.

Xu Shaojie looked at the middle-aged man. Although his face was gloomy, he could tell that the middle-aged man was not the kind of very smooth person. Perhaps he had tempered his character for a year in prison. Xu Shaojie received such materials when he received the first petitioner and felt a little headache. Such things were really difficult to deal with. Everyone knows the elasticity of the law.

Xu Shaojie thought for a moment and told the old couple and the middle-aged man that such a situation had been investigated by the procuratorate and the court's trial. It was necessary to handle it. It was also the province initiated the retrial procedure and the provincial high court made the decision, which was difficult to intervene in administrative terms. Perhaps Xu Shaojie's answer was expected by the two old men, one of the old men burst into tears and said words that shocked Xu Shaojie.

"Secretary Xu, I understand, I will not petition anymore. I am from another place and it has nothing to do with local people. Although my son has committed a crime, he is honest. In today's society, honest people are useless and deserve to suffer losses. I am a retired cadre. I have always supported the leadership of the party. In the past, I saw a lot of corruption and hated it deeply. But now I know that corruption also requires capital. If it is related, it can be wiped cleanly. I heard some retired cadres discussing. Now the big corruption is sitting on the rostrum, and the little carrot head is used to be used for surgery. My son embezzled 15,000 yuan, was sentenced to one year in prison. He deserved it. Who told him to reach out, but he took out nearly 100,000 yuan to go through the relationship. In order to save his job, I

I don't know what kind of nature the people who collect money are. Also, if my son keeps his job, I will never say such things. If the money is spent, I will spend money and avoid disasters. The nature of the cadres who have had an accident with him is exactly the same. Why is my son suffering a loss? When people get old, they don't care about it when they say it. I sincerely hope that the Communist Party is good and the country is good. I have not educated the descendants well. I am useless and smearing the party. I confess my guilt. But if the social situation in the future develops like this, my son's situation will continue to appear. I don't know how many years the Communist Party can lead, and the happiness of power and the pain of power are burying me. Only then can I understand this truth. I will not petition anymore, and I will not petition anymore. Long live the Communist Party."

Seeing the old man say such words in tears, Xu Shaojie's heart was stinging. He suddenly thought of his father's depressed when his brother was imprisoned. How different was the old man in front of him? Although so many years have passed, Xu Shaojie knew that his father's early death was because of such a blow. The head of the petition office around him was about to speak, and Xu Shaojie raised his hand to stop him. At this time, Xu Shaojie thought about a lot, including the case of the cotton mill. He suddenly thought that the problems in the political and legal work in Huaiyang City might be in this aspect.

"Old man, be careful and don't run around. I remember everything you said, so leave the materials here."

The two old men obviously didn't understand what Xu Shaojie meant, so they stood up slowly. However, the middle-aged man who had been standing behind the old man understood something. He suddenly walked to Xu Shaojie and knelt down.

"Secretary Xu, I did something wrong and committed a crime. I am willing to accept the punishment of the law. When I was in prison, I reflected on it all the time. I wrote these materials not for petitioning or for the job retrieval. I just wanted to comfort my parents. I was not a very evil person. I didn't expect that my parents would petition everywhere for me. I couldn't persuade them. I followed them every time. I was not here to petition, but I was afraid of any problems with my parents' health. Xu Shaojie, you are the first leader to accept my materials. Thank you."

The two old men also understood and struggled to kneel down to Xu Shaojie again. This time, the cadres of the petition office stopped him. The three of them went out with great gratitude. Xu Shaojie took the materials and always gave them hope. After the three of them went out, the expressions on their faces caused a sensation outside. The petitioners were very careful of these things. They knew that this young Secretary Xu was a little different from other leaders.

Xu Shaojie was so busy that his hair was dizzy. Xu Shaojie did things neatly and was the same when listening to the situation. On the one hand, he wanted the petitioner to stabilize his emotions. On the other hand, he also clearly asked the petitioner not to be too long-winded and save everyone's time. When answering questions, Xu Shaojie abandoned the vague statement. Some problems are really unsolvable. Xu Shaojie would say it in a clearer tone, hoping that the petitioner could understand the situation.

One morning, he actually recorded a list of 15 batches of petitioners in Xu Shaojie's notebook, and there were simple records of each matter. Xu Shaojie signed and asked not to handle many petition materials, nor did he ask municipal units or counties to explain it. Xu Shaojie knew that such an explanation would not have much effect.

During lunch, the cadres of the petition office toasted Xu Shaojie. At noon, they could only say that they were just saying that because there was still reception work in the afternoon, Xu Shaojie felt that the cadres of the petition office respected him very much.

When he was resting in the office at noon, Xu Shaojie kept thinking about the old couple, thinking about the old man's words. It was a despairing words that he said after being completely sad. Xu Shaojie knew that the old man was telling the truth, because the person in charge of the petition office briefly introduced the situation when he was having a meal. There were 4 people who had happened together. Only the old man's son was sentenced to actual sentence and lost his job. The other few were still working. The three were all local cadres. As for whether the old man's son had given out 100,000 yuan to go out of the relationship, the person in charge of the petition office did not know that the old man had also found Deputy Secretary Zhu Zongxiang before, but it had no effect. The petition office could only explain it according to the procuratorate and the court.

Xu Shaojie heard concerns from the tone of the person in charge of the petition office. Perhaps Xu Shaojie accepted the old man's materials and did not know what the court and the procuratorate would be. He might find something to do. Xu Shaojie didn't care. Xu Shaojie would look carefully at the materials provided by the old man, but Xu Shaojie would not investigate such things. Doing this would definitely be ineffective. If the procuratorate and the court were inadvertent, they would have to find a breakthrough from another place.
