"Lao Shen, you go to the front police car to clear the way."
Xia Li also ordered Shen Jinsheng.
Shen Jinsheng naturally obeys orders and is prudent.
A police car opened the way first, followed closely by the troop transport truck of the Armed Police Squadron, with Xiali's Santana in the middle. Dozens of police officers drove out of the Public Security Bureau compound in large and small vehicles and rushed towards Beiluan District.
And go.
The atmosphere inside Santana's car was very dull.
Xia Li didn't speak, and Yu Yan naturally wouldn't talk too much at this time. There is a limit to everything and it cannot be exceeded.
But Yu Yan knew that Xia Li couldn't help but talk.
Xia Li is not the kind of silent and scheming character.
It's a distance of more than 30 kilometers to Beiluan District. The provincial highway is in extremely poor condition and the driving is bumpy. It takes less than an hour to reach it. There is no mobile phone for such a long time. Xiali didn't ask him to tell him.
I'm afraid I'll choke myself if I talk.
"Oh, this old Cao is so old and confused!"
Sure enough, not long after the car drove out of the county town, Xia Li let out a long sigh and couldn't help but complain.
The so-called Lao Cao, Yu Yan also knew who he was referring to.
Cao Yanxi, secretary of the Beiluan District Party Committee, is already fifty-seven or eighteen years old. He is the kind of "old revolutionary" cadre who has worked step by step in the countryside. He is nearly sixty years old and is still in a "front-line position."
During his one year in the Bureau of Culture and Education, Yu Yan got to know the county leaders, the top leaders of the main county-level units, and the top leaders of the party and government in each district. Of course, many of them were understood literally, without real contact. The county held a cadre meeting
During the conference, these people were all going to attend, and Yu Yan had met them all. But that was all. There was not enough time to really get to know each other in depth.
Although Cao Yanxi is older and more qualified, in the eyes of the county leaders, his weight is very average. Cao Yanxi is a typical rough man, not rigorous in his work, and likes to drink a small drink every day.
He is confused and joking with others, and he does not look like a "big cadre" at all. He is very different from the top leaders of most district offices. It's just that in Beiluan District, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the land is poor and the people are poor, and there are only a few heavyweights.
Many cadres are willing to work there. Cao Yanxi is considered an "Old Beiluan" and has been working in Beiluan District for decades. He is very familiar with the situation in Beiluan District, so the county did not touch him and let him work in Beiluan District.
If you stay in the position of district party secretary for another one or two years, and retire honorably when you reach the age, you can be considered a good start and a good end.
Unexpectedly, such a big problem occurred within his jurisdiction.
No wonder Charlie was holding his breath.
"Secretary Xia, what's going on?"
Yu Yan asked. Since Xia Li wanted to talk to someone, Secretary Yu should have this consciousness.
"Huh, Cao Yanxi called to say that Zhang and Ma had been arguing for several months about the ancestral tomb, and finally couldn't help but take action..."
Charlie said angrily.
Following Xia Li's narration, Yu Yan finally had a general understanding of the entire incident.
The incident happened in Liuqiao Township in Beiluan District. This Liuqiao Township, even in Beiluan District, is the most remote and backward township. The territory is densely covered with hills, with large and small hills everywhere, and there are ravines and ravines everywhere.
The rivers and streams washed by some rainwater are divided into many small areas. So far, the road only leads to the seat of the township government. Going to other villages basically requires walking. In such towns, there are many people but little land, and the land is poor. Every household has
They can only dig food in the fields. They are a national-level poverty-stricken township. They have to eat relief grains and resold grains every year. The problem of food and clothing has not yet been solved.
However, the more remote and barren the place is, the more uncivilized the people's wisdom is. The villagers do not have much entertainment on weekdays, and they are typical "entertainment basically relies on hands"! But people are still people, not mindless wood, there is nothing else.
After recreation and work, the remaining energy was vented on trivial neighborhood disputes.
The surnames Zhang and Ma are the two major surnames in Liuqiao Township. In fact, they are intermarried with each other, and many people are relatives. This is also understandable. In a place like Liuqiao Township, if a young man wants to marry a wife from other places,
Basically, don't even think about it...it's absolutely impossible. Also, girls can't get married. The reason is very simple. All the girls in the village have been married off. What will happen to the young and middle-aged men left? Is it possible that they will be singles for the rest of their lives?
Cut off the incense?
The simplest and most direct way is to change relatives!
Marry off the eldest daughter in the family and get the younger daughter-in-law back from that family.
However, the clan concept in rural areas is very strong. A girl from the Zhang family who marries into the Ma family becomes a member of the Ma family. She is included in the Ma family tree and is buried in the Ma family's ancestral grave after death. A girl from the Ma family marries into the Zhang family.
, this is also the case. No matter how good the relatives are, they are not as good as the relatives of brothers.
The Zhang surname and the Ma surname intermarried with each other, but the tense relationship between the two surnames has never been substantially alleviated. They often fought over water sources, mountains, ancestral graves and other things.
This time, it finally led to a catastrophe.
After Yu Yan listened, he thought Xia Li's evaluation of Cao Yanxi was very fair.
This guy is a fool!
The surnames Zhang and Ma have been fighting for several months over an ancestral grave. These two clans have "old grudges" and have fought "big battles" before, but Cao Yanxi has no vigilance at all.
, neither sending personnel to do the work to channelize the villagers' grievances, nor reporting to the county in time, they just turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. When the conflict intensified in an all-round way... both sides gathered hundreds of people to start a fight.
, and then hurriedly called the county leaders for help.
Not only is he confused, he is also incompetent!
"Secretary Xia, don't worry too much. As long as we move faster, we can still catch up and stop them."
At this moment, Yu Yan could only go out and comfort him.
Charlie shook his head and sighed again.
Three months after taking office, Xia Li finally understood what it was like to be the secretary of the county party committee. It was hard to put it into words. He seemed to have endless glory, but in fact, he had troubles one after another, almost never letting up. The excitement of taking the power for the first time was soon overturned.
It was replaced by anxiety. In less than a hundred days, Xia Li felt mentally and physically exhausted.
Yu Yan couldn't say anything else.
Liuqiao Township is located in a remote area. I am afraid that by the time Cao Yanxi learns the news, he will already be behind. If he calls the county to report, the county will organize manpower to rush there. It will take two or three hours anyway. If it is a war period, a battle
The encounter may have already been fought, and if we rush forward now, we can only "clean up the battlefield."
Yu Yan has never experienced such a thing before, and he doesn't know what the "weapons and equipment" are like in the so-called clan fighting. If you only use fists and sticks to move around, then maybe the casualties will not be too heavy. The most important thing is that as long as no one is killed, it will be easy to deal with.
No matter what, this is just a good wish. The number of people participating in the battle on both sides is hundreds. Thousands of people are fighting together. Even if they only use fists and sticks, there is a high possibility that someone will be killed.
If he accidentally fell to the ground, he would be trampled to death!
If iron "weapons" such as hoes and darts are used, the situation will only be worse.
Now we can only hope that the villagers can still have some self-control and not call for death.
Although the provincial highways were in poor condition, they were still paved. Xia Li couldn't help but urge Shen Jinsheng, who was leading the way, through the intercom to speed up. About fifty minutes later, the convoy finally arrived at Beiluan, where the Beiluan District Office is located.
town.
This is the only "important town" in the northeastern part of Taocheng County. There is no other organized town within twenty or thirty miles.
But in Yu Yan's eyes, this "important town" is really not much different from ordinary villages. In the entire Beiluan Town, the only thing that can really be called a street is a section of asphalt road that is about 500 to 600 meters long, with uneven roads on both sides.
Some official buildings and residential buildings were built unevenly, many of them in the style of the 1960s and 1970s, and the slogans from the Revolutionary period are clearly visible.
The words "Down with the biggest capitalist roader so-and-so..." are written in lime and are clearly left on some dark brick walls.
The most eye-opening thing for Yueyan was that on the gate of the Beiluan District Office, there was actually a couplet with floating characters painted on red waves, which was taken from the poems of the great leader.
The heavily armed convoy rolled into the only street in Beiluan Town, which had already shocked the town.
Countless heads poked their heads out of the rooms on both sides, looking endlessly at this "mighty" motorcade, with expressions of surprise and fear on their faces, naturally mixed with a little excitement.
In this remote area, any movement can cause huge waves.
The convoy drove straight into the courtyard of the Beiluan District Office.
This district office is also dilapidated, but compared to the surrounding farmhouses, it is naturally much more glamorous and can be called "luxury". After all, there are two buildings and a cement one, so the area is not counted.
The small courtyard can be regarded as the most modern location in these four miles and eight villages.
As the motorcade drove into the district office, the surroundings were quiet, and no one came out to greet them.
The first car immediately sounded its horn, and soon, almost all the cars started honking their horns wildly.
The whistle blew for a long time, and then a middle-aged woman walked out of an office with her head in the air. Seeing such a fuss, she was so frightened that she quickly hid back and slammed the door.
Shen Jinsheng became anxious, jumped out of the police car, and ran towards the office. Thanks to his fat body and round legs, his movements were also very agile.
It seems that when the secretary of the county party committee is here, the efficiency of the people below him will be different.
Shen Jinsheng knocked "bang bang" for a while... and then the door opened again. Shen Jinsheng immediately "grabbed" the middle-aged woman and asked loudly. After asking a few questions, he immediately turned around and ran to Xia Li's Santana side.
.
"Report to Secretary Xia that Cao Yanxi and all the cadres from the district office have rushed to Liuqiao Township."
Xia Li nodded slightly, his expression slightly relaxed.
No matter what, Cao Yanxi is not very confused!
"Okay, let's rush to Liuqiao Township immediately."
"yes!"
The number of cars immediately left the district office and continued towards Liuqiao Township.
