Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Of course I believe you are telling the truth, but if you want to deal with a county magistrate, you need evidence. I can't just dismiss Wei Guofeng and investigate based on your words, right? If I really
After doing this, will Wei Guofeng be convinced? Can other officials be convinced? You must also understand my difficulties!"
"Then how long do we have to wait?" Liang Daniu asked.
"I won't make you wait too long." Ma Xiaoyao promised: "I will resolve the matter in one week at the latest, so don't worry."
After receiving Ma Xiaoyao's guarantee, Liang Daniu and Shi Minghai could finally feel at ease.
"Let's go, I'll take you out. Go home and wait for the letter in peace, and don't come out to make trouble again." Ma Xiaoyao personally sent Liang Daniu and Shi Minghai out.
Under Ma Xiaoyao's watch, Liang Daniu and Shi Minghai led a group of villagers to leave the county government.
"Mayor Ma... how was the negotiation?" Cheng Wenyong and Wei Guofeng quickly came forward to greet them.
Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Cheng Wenyong and Wei Guofeng: "I'm a little tired and want to rest. Let's talk about anything tomorrow." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao left.
Looking at Ma Xiaoyao's leaving figure, Cheng Wenyong and Wei Guofeng both fell into deep thought.
…
Ma Xiaoyao avoided the eyes and ears and went out personally to investigate the land acquisition in Maoyang Village, Niuping Town. At the same time, he also inquired about people's opinions on Wei Guofeng.
Nothing is as real as seeing it with your own eyes.
Three days later.
Ma Xiaoyao came to the county government again and walked into the county magistrate's office grandly.
"Mayor Ma, you are here...please take a seat..." Wei Guofeng asked Ma Xiaoyao to sit down, made Ma Xiaoyao a cup of tea with his own hands, and brought a plate of fruit with a very enthusiastic attitude.
"I have investigated the matter clearly." Ma Xiaoyao picked up the teacup and gently blew the hot air emanating from the cup.
"Ah? What's the matter?" Wei Guofeng was stunned for a moment.
"It's about the land acquisition in Maoyang Village, Niuping Town." Ma Xiaoyao brought the tea cup to his mouth and took a slow sip.
"Ah, I wonder what the result of Mayor Ma's investigation is..." Wei Guofeng asked cautiously.
Ma Xiaoyao casually put the tea cup on the coffee table and said slowly: "When you purchased the land, how much did it cost per acre?"
"Well... the price at that time was 50,000 yuan per acre..." Wei Guofeng replied: "This is just a preliminary price. If the villagers of Maoyang Village, Niuping Town are not satisfied, the price can still be negotiated."
"Hmph." Ma Xiaoyao snorted: "Do you know how much the price given by the county government staff is?" Before Wei Guofeng could answer, Ma Xiaoyao continued: "It's six thousand yuan per acre.
, the difference was 44,000 yuan, and where did the money go? Wasn’t it someone who enriched their own pockets?"
"I only found out about this after the fact. I didn't expect that the people below would be so courageous and dare to enrich themselves behind my back..." Wei Guofeng said through gritted teeth.
"Wei Guofeng, you are the county magistrate. You are the one who initiated the purchase of land to plant fruit trees. Now someone is lining their own pockets. You, the county magistrate, have an unshirkable responsibility!" Ma Xiaoyao's face sank: "It seems like you
The county magistrate is acting like a coward, and the people below dare to play tricks behind your back without fear of you pursuing them... I'm really convinced!"
Wei Guofeng lowered his head in shame.
"The villagers of Maoyang Village told me that it was the county government employees who took action first... The results of my investigation are exactly the opposite. It was clearly the villagers of Maoyang Village who took action first, and then the two sides started fighting."
Ma Xiaoyao's face twitched: "I really didn't expect that the villagers who seemed to be honest and honest could actually lie, and they were so courageous that they deceived me, the mayor, to my face!"
"These villagers are indeed quite unruly..." Wei Guofeng said.
"Even if the villagers in Maoyang Village behave unruly, will the county government employees kill people with their cars?" Ma Xiaoyao shouted sternly: "How can he be so bold! How dare he kill people with his car!"
"This is an accident..."
"What an accident! It's obviously your lax discipline that has caused the staff below to act arrogantly and domineeringly!"
"I'm usually very strict with my subordinates."
"You still dare to quibble! Wei Guofeng, your days as county magistrate are not short, right? Do you know how the people below evaluate you?"
"This...I really don't know..."
"You don't know? Then let me tell you! People say that you occupy the latrine and don't shit. You act like a gentleman on the surface, but behind your back you do some dirty things like chickens and dogs!"
"I was wronged!"
"One person scolding you may be unjustly accusing you, two people scolding you may be framing you, but three people, four people... a hundred people... a thousand people are scolding you at the same time, then this matter is worth considering. If
You are upright and dedicated to doing practical things for the people, so why do the people below rush to scold you? Are they all blind and deaf?"
"I..." Wei Guofeng was speechless and didn't know how to defend himself.
"Wei Guofeng, I'm so disappointed in you! I'm so disappointed!" Ma Xiaoyao sighed: "I once worked in Dongcheng County, and I know that the people in Dongcheng County are very kind. If you hadn't really offended them,
It's too bad, they won't say bad things about you everywhere...Forget it, I have nothing to say to you..." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "You can go."
"Mayor Ma..." Wei Guofeng still wanted to explain a few words.
"Let's go, I don't want to see you now." Ma Xiaoyao lowered his head and stopped talking to Wei Guofeng.
Wei Guofeng stood there stunned for a while, then turned around and left dejectedly.
"Alas..." After Wei Guofeng left, Ma Xiaoyao let out a long sigh: "Wei Guofeng's poor supervision caused the staff below to act arrogantly. The price of 50,000 acres of land was only 6,000 yuan. He is really brave enough.
, the villagers of Maoyang Village were originally the victims, but they deliberately concealed what happened on their own side and fooled me, the mayor, into thinking that they were a fool... I can’t say what people’s hearts are like now.”
The next day, Ma Xiaoyao left Dongcheng County. Before leaving, Ma Xiaoyao issued two orders: First, severely punish the murderer without any cover-up. At the same time, high compensation should be paid to the family of the deceased, and the deceased must be allowed to die.
The family members are satisfied. Of course, the family members of the deceased cannot use blackmail and everything is handled in accordance with the law. Secondly, Wei Guofeng has suspended his duties for self-reflection. The daily work of the county government is temporarily in charge of the county party committee secretary Cheng Wenyong.
Before coming to Dongcheng County, Ma Xiaoyao was quite happy, but when he left, Ma Xiaoyao's mood became very bad. How long had it been since he left Dongcheng County? The atmosphere in Dongcheng County had become so bad, and it was heartbreaking. Ma Xiaoyao was very sad.
It's heartache.
Ma Xiaoyao secretly made up his mind that after the inspection work was over, he would be free to vigorously rectify Dongcheng County and restore Dongcheng County to its former prosperity in the shortest possible time.
…
After leaving Dongcheng County, Ma Xiaoyao went to Kaiping County to inspect the work. Not long after arriving in Kaiping County, Ma Xiaoyao received a call from the city, saying that the cross-sea bridge that had just been built in the city collapsed...
After receiving the news, Ma Xiaoyao immediately drove back to the city.
After arriving at the scene of the bridge collapse, Ma Xiaoyao's face suddenly darkened. Looking around, two-thirds of the entire cross-sea bridge collapsed, and the remaining one-third was also in danger and could collapse at any time.
Ma Xiaoyao found several deputy mayors who were directing the rescue work at the scene and asked why the cross-sea bridge collapsed.
Sun Maoqi shook his head: "The specific cause of the collapse is not clear yet, but I have asked engineers from the Quality Supervision Bureau to investigate. I believe there will be results soon."
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "When did the bridge collapse?"
"About five o'clock in the morning." Sun Maoqi replied: "Citizens living nearby suddenly heard a loud noise, like the sound of a bomb exploding. When they ran out and took a look, they found that the cross-sea bridge collapsed, and then they
I called the police immediately.”
"Are there any casualties?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"When the bridge collapsed, several cars happened to be driving on it. After the bridge collapsed, these cars all fell into the sea..." Sun Maoqi said.
Ma Xiaoyao felt nervous: "What happened in the end? Was he rescued?"
"Mayor Ma, don't be anxious, just listen to me." Sun Maoqi waved his hand: "Fortunately, many citizens rushed to the scene and worked together to smash the car's glass and rescue all the people inside."
"So, no one died?" Ma Xiaoyao stared at Sun Maoqi closely.
Sun Maoqi nodded: "Yes, only a few people were slightly injured and no one died."
"Huh..." Ma Xiaoyao breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's good that no one died." The sudden collapse of the cross-sea bridge was already a very sensational event. If more people died, the matter would become even bigger.
At this time, a middle-aged man in work clothes walked over quickly and greeted Ma Xiaoyao and others respectfully: "Dear leaders, I have investigated the cause of the bridge collapse."
"Tell me quickly." Ma Xiaoyao asked hurriedly: "What exactly caused the bridge to collapse suddenly."
"The main reason is that the quality of the bridge itself is not up to standard." the middle-aged man replied.
"The quality is not up to standard?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Be specific."
"I carefully inspected the site and found that the base of the bridge was very crude and substandard at all, and the steel bars, cement and other materials were also substandard... In all my years of working, this is the first time I have seen a bridge of such rough quality.
It’s not easy to hold on for a year before it collapses.” The middle-aged man sighed.
A sharp gleam flashed in Ma Xiaoyao's eyes: "You mean to say that there was some cutting of corners when building this bridge?"
The middle-aged man nodded affirmatively: "Yes, and the behavior of cutting corners is very serious. Those who built the bridge were too courageous to dare to do this. Aren't they afraid that the bridge will collapse and kill people?"
