"Beauty, what are you doing with me?" Qiao Liang asked Ye Xinyi.
"County Magistrate Qiao, are you free now?" Ye Xinyi asked on the other end of the phone.
Hearing Ye Xinyi speak so seriously, Qiao Liang realized that there was someone beside Ye Xinyi, and couldn't help but become more serious, "What's the matter?"
"If you have time, come to my dormitory." Ye Xinyi said.
"Okay, I'll go over now." Qiao Liang nodded, guessing that Ye Xinyi might have something important to do.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Liang turned around and walked back to the box, "Deputy County Magistrate Zhao, Deputy County Magistrate Wei, I'm sorry, I have something to do and I have to leave first."
"It's okay, County Magistrate Qiao, you have to go and do some work first." Zhao Jiejie nodded with a smile.
Zhao Jiejie and Wei Yong stood up together to watch Qiao Liang leave. Then Zhao Jiejie turned to Wei Yong and said, "Old Wei, you said you are serious. County Magistrate Qiao means to show your kindness to you, so why can't you take the initiative to show your favor?" "
"Old Zhao, I just want to do my job down-to-earth and don't want to get involved in the struggles in the county." Wei Yong shook his head.
"You have been working in the local area for more than ten years. You should have a deep understanding of the local system and ecology. Do you think it is possible?" Zhao Jiejie glanced at Wei Yong and said, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. We are in the system. It’s impossible not to want to take sides. If you only want to do your job well and don’t interfere with anything else, are you doing well? Others see you as the deputy county magistrate and think you are very prosperous, but the pain in your heart is only You know it yourself."
Wei Yong became silent after hearing this.
Zhao Jiejie looked at Wei Yong's reaction and continued, "Old Wei, I won't say any more. You feel it more deeply than anyone else. Among the deputies in the county, you are the most low-key. You don't fight for anything at work, but are your lives better than others? No. On the contrary, others think you are honest and easy to bully."
"Hey, Lao Zhao, stop talking." Wei Yong smiled bitterly, "I understand the truth, but I just don't want to get involved in the struggle in the county."
"Old Wei, your thinking is actually a bit misunderstood. Just because we stand in line does not mean that we will participate in the struggle in the county. On the contrary, we just want to complete our work better." Zhao Jiejie retorted, "Just take For yourself, you are in charge of the construction of the new city, which seems to be a big job, but it is a hard job for you. Everyone with some connections wants to get involved in this big job, and you can't offend anyone. Okay, but if you have the support of County Magistrate Qiao, it will be different. You will be a little stronger and you will have more confidence in your speech."
Hearing Zhao Jiejie's words, Wei Yong's brows almost twisted into the Chinese character "Sichuan". What Zhao Jiejie said made sense, and he also knew that Zhao Jiejie had always wanted him to take the initiative to get closer to Qiao Liang. According to Zhao Jiejie's words, Qiao Liang He is young, promising, and enterprising at the same time. He is much better than Miao Peilong. If he wants to take sides in the county, it is undoubtedly the wisest choice to move closer to Qiao Liang.
"Old Wei, County Magistrate Qiao has extended an olive branch to you. Think about it carefully." Zhao Jiejie patted Wei Yong on the shoulder.
On the other side, Qiao Liang came to Ye Xinyi's dormitory after coming out of the farmhouse. When she saw Ye Xinyi opening the door, Qiao Liang subconsciously wanted to make a joke, but suddenly she saw Ye Xinyi blinking at him. Qiao Liang was slightly startled and looked inside. At a glance, I saw there were other people in the room.
"Mayor Lin, Mayor Qiao is here." Ye Xinyi walked back into the house and said to the middle-aged woman in the living room.
A middle-aged woman named Lin Mei was the mayor of Xiayang Town. Qiao Liang walked in, looked at her for a few times, and quickly made an impression.
"Hello, County Magistrate Qiao." Lin Mei stood up cautiously and greeted Qiao Liang respectfully.
"Are you looking for me?" Qiao Liang quickly understood that Ye Xinyi came to see her because of Lin Mei.
At this time, Ye Xinyi interrupted, "Mayor Lin, please tell County Mayor Qiao the situation you want to report."
"Sit down first." Qiao Liang sat down by himself and waved to Lin Mei at the same time.
The two sat down. Ye Xinyi poured a glass of water for each of them and sat down beside them.
Lin Mei seemed a little nervous. She first looked at Ye Xinyi. Encouraged by Ye Xinyi's eyes, Lin Mei then said, "County Chief Qiao, our quarry industry in Xiayang Town has been a bit chaotic recently."
"A bit chaotic?" Qiao Liang looked at the other party in confusion, "What kind of chaos?"
"County Chief Qiao, you also know that the stone mining industry is the pillar industry of our Xiayang Town. Originally, the stone mines in the town were mainly controlled by local people. The clan concept in the towns and villages is also very strong, and it is difficult for outsiders to get involved. , the local stone mines are also controlled by the two clans dominated by the Liu and Dong surnames, but recently, external forces have broken this balance, and a foreign businessman has acquired a stone mine that originally belonged to the Liu surname." Lin Mei said.
"This is a good thing. Foreign capital coming in can enhance local economic vitality," Qiao Liang said.
"If nothing else happens, this is indeed a good thing, but the current problem is that there are frequent conflicts between capital coming from outside and the local people named Liu. I am worried that if this continues, big problems will brew." Lin Mei explained.
Qiao Liang frowned and said, "Then what are you doing in your town? When something like this happens, shouldn't you take proactive measures to resolve the problem? Businessmen from out of town, as long as they operate legally according to laws and regulations, you have responsibilities. Protect other people’s rights and interests, otherwise who will dare to invest in your Xiayang Town in the future?”
Seeing Qiao Liang's displeasure, Lin Mei became nervous again and said quickly, "County Chief Qiao, our town is also working hard to mediate and resolve conflicts, but after understanding some of the situation in depth, I found that things are not that simple, and Liu Liang’s wife came to me several times and said that the deaths of her husband Liu Liang and son Liu Jinyi were related to the dispute over the interests of this quarry.”
When Qiao Liang heard that Liu Liang was involved, his expression became serious, "Does Liu Liang's wife have any evidence?"
"She didn't provide any evidence, but she said that the county bureau had just reported her husband's case to her, saying that Liu Liang was killed. Later, I learned about the situation with people from the county bureau, and it was indeed the same. It’s something.” Lin Mei said.
"I know about Liu Liang's case. The county bureau is still investigating, and there are no concrete results yet. If his wife says she was killed by someone, there must be evidence, not just casual talk." Qiao Liang Waving his hands.
"Well, that's what I told her. There is no basis for what you say. You have to have evidence." Lin Mei nodded, "So the issue is back to the interest dispute in this stone mine. The cause of this conflict is actually the responsibility." On the contrary, it’s not the Liu family, but the businessman from other places.”
"Really?" Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and motioned for Lin Mei to continue.
"The problem this time is that a businessman from out of town wanted to buy the Liu family's stone mines at a low price. When the Liu family didn't agree, the other party took the initiative to provoke conflicts and injured people in the Liu family many times. Our town tried to mediate on many occasions. After it fails, we can only introduce judicial power to solve it." Lin Mei hesitated for a moment and then said, "But there seems to be an invisible big hand behind the scenes, which makes the problem unable to be solved, and the conflict becomes more and more intense. I just said it today. I heard that the Liu family was gathering people from Liujia Village to prepare for a big fight with the other party. I was worried that there would be a big problem, so I came to report this matter to Secretary Ye overnight."
Ye Xinyi interrupted at the right time, "Mayor Lin and I have known each other before. I had dealt with her several times before I was transferred to Songbei. When I was in the Municipal Propaganda Department, I did several grassroots projects. Exclusive interview with female cadres, Mayor Lin was one of the interviewees at that time."
Hearing what Ye Xinyi said, Qiao Liang couldn't help but suddenly realized. No wonder Lin Mei came to find Ye Xinyi. It turned out that the two were old acquaintances.
However, Qiao Liang was more concerned about the situation that Lin Mei said might lead to group conflicts. He said seriously, "Mayor Lin, if what you said is true, then you should be on standby in the town now to prevent conflicts from happening. I didn’t come to the county.”
"Don't worry, County Magistrate Qiao. The town has deployed manpower to guard the intersection of Liujia Village to prevent conflicts. However, continuing like this is not the answer. It is impossible to guard day and night. The key is to solve the problem. Lin Mei smiled bitterly, "The crux of the problem now is that businessman from out of town. Not only does he want to purchase the Liu family's stone mines at a price seriously lower than the market price, he also deliberately creates conflicts and suppresses the Liu family. If this problem is not solved, There is no way to resolve conflicts."
"Before, you said that the clan concept in Xiayang Town is very strong, and the local clan power is very powerful. I have learned about the situation before, but now it seems that it is the other way around." Qiao Liang frowned slightly, "The name of the foreign businessman you mentioned is What name?"
"Huang Qingshan." Lin Mei replied.
"Huang Qingshan?" Qiao Liang exclaimed, as if he had heard this name somewhere.
After thinking about it carefully, Qiao Liang couldn't help but nodded. By the way, the third child mentioned this Huang Qingshan. The third child had been entrusted by the Liu family to come to the county to investigate for a few days. This Huang Qingshan seemed to be mixed up with Jiang Hui.
I don't know what he thought of, but a light slowly flashed in Qiao Liang's eyes.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Liang took out his cell phone and called Cai Minghai.
"Lao Cai, are you finished now?" Qiao Liang asked when the phone was connected.
"I just finished my work. The bureau was quite lively tonight. There are not enough detention rooms to lock up people. I swept Jiang Hui's place and arrested many people." Cai Minghai said.
Qiao Liang nodded and said, "Come to Secretary Ye's dormitory now, and I will send you the address."
"OK."
Qiao Liang hung up the phone, then sent the address to Cai Minghai, and then looked at Lin Mei, "Waiting for Director Cai to come over later, you can tell Director Cai about the situation you know in detail."
Lin Mei nodded slightly.
Qiao Liang tapped the table lightly and said nothing. From Liu Liang's death to Huang Qingshan and then to Jiang Hui, there seemed to be no connection, but Qiao Liang vaguely felt that there was some connection.
