Several middle-aged people were surrounding a corpse lying in the gravel and dust. No one should feel comfortable after seeing the corpse. Xiao Zheng endured the discomfort in his heart and took another step closer to see the flesh and blood clearly.
The blurred body, the head had been sunk in by the stone, and the right shoulder and sternum were also sunken. The dust from the mine had adhered to the wound, and the blood stains had begun to turn black.
Xiao Zheng couldn't bear to look any further and turned to the other injured people. Some people's arms were bleeding, and some people had their legs broken. But they still insisted on staying at the scene. Why? It was just family members and friends who wanted to compensate more.
Xiao Zheng felt a pain in his heart. There is no dignity in the life of the poor. When alive, they will be exposed to the sun and rain in this kind of mine, eating ashes and drinking soil; when they die, they will be used as a tool to compensate for more money.
Until they rest in peace, can the people of Fengqi Village have no choice but to live in such a humble way?
At this time, Song Guoming, secretary of the town party committee, and Guan Wenwei, mayor of the town, accompanied deputy county magistrate Lu Qunchao to the scene. Ma Fu, secretary of the village branch of Song Guomingchao, said: "Tell everyone, first get everyone down the mountain. Then.
, let’s talk about something else.”
The village party secretary Ma Fulai shouted: "Listen to me, everyone, something happened in our mine today. The town leaders are paying great attention to it. Secretary Song of the town party committee and the mayor are here, as well as County Magistrate Lu of our county."
We are here too, and they are here to solve everyone’s problems. Get up quickly, get the dead down the mountain, and get the injured to the hospital!”
However, a family member of the deceased stood up and shouted: "If you want to solve the problem, solve it here. We will not go down the mountain until we receive one million yuan in compensation."
"Second Genshan, how much does your nephew earn in a month? How much does he earn in a year?" The village party secretary said: "One million, how many years will his salary last? Our village's collective economy is only two million, and it's all given to your family.
Okay, is that enough?”
The second son of Genshan said: "Why should the village collective economy be left alone? Why not give it to your village cadres and the officials who come down from above to eat and drink? It should be compensated to everyone."
When Ma Fulai, secretary of the village party committee, heard that Genshan Lao Er exposed the shortcomings of the village, he angrily said: "Genshan Lao Er, you are farting. The village's collective economic income is for the development of the village. What will the village do next if it is all reimbursed to you?"
The villagers couldn't get used to hearing this: "To develop the village? What development has the village done for us in the past few years? Aren't we all working in the mines in the dark? We can't make much money, but we villagers
Drinking dust and eating dirt, living in disgrace, you are not living a human life! Tell me, what kind of development is the village seeking? If the village really seeks development for everyone, no young people will die violently today, nor will there be such
Many people have broken arms and legs!”
When the village chief Liu Jianming heard the villagers complaining about the village in front of the leaders, he felt very embarrassed, so he joined in the quarrel with the villagers: "You heartless guys, if there were no stone mines in the village, you would not even have the money you have now."
You can’t make any money! If something goes wrong now, it’s all down to the village!”
"Who is the village to blame?" Another villager also joined in the quarrel, "If the village hadn't started mining at that time, our mountains would still be green, the water would still be clear, and we wouldn't have broken arms or legs like we have in recent years.
Such evil deeds will not lead to tragic deaths! The village must be held responsible! The town must also be held responsible!"
"The village must be responsible!" "The town must be responsible too!" The miners and villagers began to shout. It can be seen that neither the village party secretary nor the village chief could persuade the miners and villagers to go down the mountain.
Deputy County Magistrate Lu Qunchao was a little anxious. He was entrusted by the new County Party Committee Secretary and County Magistrate to handle the accident this time. He originally planned to handle the accident within an hour or two, and then report it to the County Party Committee Secretary and County Magistrate.
The county magistrate reported that everything was safe, but judging from the current situation, things are very difficult.
"Secretary Song, how do you think we should handle this situation?" Lu Qunchao asked Song Guoming.
At this time, Cai Shaohua, director of the town party and government office, came to Song Guoming's ear and said: "Secretary Song, the director of the police station, has brought twenty policemen over."
Director Qin is the director of Tianhuang Town Police Station. Song Guoming was worried that there would be trouble at the scene, so Cai Shaohua notified Director Qin and asked him to bring a group of policemen to suppress the formation. Now the people from the police station have arrived, Song Guoming
I feel more confident.
Song Guoming turned to Lu Qunchao and said: "County Chief Lu, judging from the current situation, it may not be that easy to get these miners and villagers to go down the mountain on their own. What I mean is to ask the police station to come forward and arrest anyone who blocks them."
County Magistrate Lu was slightly hesitant. On the one hand, he wanted to calm down the situation in the mine as soon as possible, but on the other hand, he did not want to make the matter a big deal. He said: "Secretary Song, how confident are you that you can settle things here at once?"
Song Guoming said with determination: "It won't take long."
Some migrant workers seemed to have heard what County Magistrate Lu and Song Guoming were discussing, and shouted: "They called the police here to arrest us! We are not so easy to mess with. If the compensation is not enough, we will never go down the mountain!"
"Never go down the mountain! Never go down the mountain!"
Some miners and villagers picked up crowbars, shovels and other working tools, as if they were ready for a fight at any time.
At this time, the mayor Guan Wenwei said: "Mr. Lu, my suggestion is to use the police as much as possible. After all, people were killed and injured in this mining accident. It is only natural for them to ask for compensation."
, it’s not a crime, and it’s not appropriate to arrest him. We’d better do a good job in the ideological work of the masses and understand their demands.”
Deputy County Magistrate Lu Qunchao was a little unable to make a decision.
"Understand their demands?" Song Guoming said disapprovingly, "Their demands are for money. Did you hear that? Just now they asked for one million each! They are asking for prices! How can there be so much money in the village?
Where can I get so much money? Mayor, if you think you can do ideological work, then you can lead a team to do it. I'll give you an hour and see if you can do it."
County Magistrate Lu turned to Guan Wenwei: "Mayor Guan, are you confident that you can finish it within an hour? Both the secretary and the county magistrate are paying close attention to this matter and it must be resolved as soon as possible. If you can resolve it within an hour, do it now.
You can do it. If it can't be solved, then when you need to use force, you can only use force."
Guan Wenwei looked at County Magistrate Lu and Song Guoming and said, "I'll give it a try."
Guan Wenwei called Jin Hui and Xiao Zheng together to the family of the deceased and found out the young man's parents. Guan Wenwei said to them: "Brother, sister, such a tragedy happened today, we are also very sad.
We are here today because we also want to solve the problem. As for the issue of compensation, you have already made a request. Our town will study it collectively. If we can compensate according to the regulations, we will definitely compensate you, but it may not be as much as one million, but
I promise to give you everything I can. I am the mayor, please trust me."
The parents of the deceased had been crying for a long time, because the stone powder on the mountain was stained with tears and their faces were stained. They all seemed to be honest people. But the uncle of the deceased next to him shouted: "One million, just one million
.Without one million, we will not go down the mountain.”
The parents of the deceased heard what the uncle Genshan said, and they also said: "Without one million, we will not go down the mountain. We have to rely on our son to support us for the rest of our lives. Now that he is gone, who will provide for us in the future?"
, who will give us the final say?"
Guan Wenwei said: "Whatever the town government can consider, it will definitely be considered by you. But it doesn't matter if I say it alone."
The uncle said: "What you say doesn't count, because you are just the mayor of the town. For the people over there, I know there is the secretary of the town party committee and the deputy county magistrate. They have the final say. You let them have their say!"
This uncle thought he had seen a little bit of the world.
Guan Wenwei was helpless. These people were unwilling to listen to his persuasion. He looked at the deputy mayor Jin Hui, but Jin Hui just looked at him, obviously he didn't have any good ideas.
Xiao Zheng felt that he should say something at this time, so he said to the two elders of Genshan: "You are my uncle, right? The two people over there are indeed senior to us in charge of the town mayor, but I can assure you that those two leaders
I definitely don’t want to give you one million. The two leaders just said that if you stop the deceased from going down the mountain, the police will be used to arrest him. We, the mayor, hope that you can send the deceased down the mountain first, and then discuss it carefully."
After hearing what Xiao Zheng said, the uncle looked at Song Guoming and Lu Qunchao. Those two honest parents were obviously also afraid of the police.
Xiao Zheng added: "My surname is Xiao. I am a town cadre and I am from Fengqi Village. My family is in Lushui Natural Village. We are from the same village. I will never lie to you. Uncle, aunt, your son was in the mine before he died.
Work has been hard enough. Now that it is gone, he should not be exposed to this mine anymore. He must settle down early and let him rest in peace as soon as possible. We will discuss the matter of the living, and I promise that I will do the same.
I will do my best to help you! Otherwise, you come to Green Water Village to find me!"
The deceased's uncle and the deceased's parents looked at each other and felt a little relieved.
Indeed, they couldn't bear to let their children who were killed in the mine be exposed in broad daylight, and their conscience couldn't bear it. People only think of such tricks when they have no other choice. Now, Mayor Guan has also promised that the villagers will
The town cadre Xiao Zheng also promised, maybe they can really be trusted?
Seeing that everyone had almost agreed, Xiao Zheng said again: "I, the people in the village, are you still afraid that you can't find me?"
Finally, a villager said: "I can run away from the monk, but I can't run away from the temple. I know his parents and I'm not afraid of Xiao Zheng denying him."
At this point, everyone began to agree to go down the mountain.
Guan Wenwei and Xiao Zheng's efforts are about to bear fruit.
However, Cai Shaohua walked up to the two leaders, Song and Lu, and said: "County Magistrate Lu, Secretary Song, I just went over and saw that Mayor Guan and the others failed. They couldn't convince those unruly people at all."
County Magistrate Lu also looked at Guan Wenwei and the others. Seeing only the miners, the villagers became even more angry. They shouted at Guan Wenwei, Xiao Zheng, Jin Hui and the others, demanding compensation! The dead must be worth one million. The sound was getting louder every time.
County Magistrate Lang Lu also felt disappointed immediately. He said: "It seems that ideological work is impossible to do."
This is exactly the result that Song Guoming wants to see. If Guan Wenwei really does his ideological work, it will appear that Song Guoming's thinking is wrong. Now that Guan Wenwei has not succeeded, it can just set off Song Guoming's sophistication in dealing with things.
Song Guoming would never miss such an opportunity. He said to County Magistrate Lu: "I have long expected that the villagers in Fengqi Village are all cunning people. You can't deal with cunning people with reason, you can only use force."
, that’s what they do.”
"It seems so." County Magistrate Lu nodded, but his heart was still a little unstable. He turned to Song Guoming and said, "Secretary Song, if we use the power of the police station, how long will it take to get it done?" The miners and miners not far away from Song Guoming Dynasty
The villager looked at it and said, "County Magistrate Lu, give it half an hour. In half an hour, I won't find a single miner or villager in this mine."
County Magistrate Lu said: "Secretary Song, you have rich experience in mass work, so let's solve it quickly."
Song Guoming put his hands on his hips and looked forward. With his tall body and broad shoulders, he was full of domineering attitude. He turned around and said: "County Magistrate Lu, you take a rest here first. Leave the rest of the work to me."
"
Song Guoming, Jiang Jiechun, Cai Shaohua and others, with the help of village cadres, approached the miners and villagers together.
At this time, Mayor Guan, Jin Hui, Xiao Zheng and others had been forced to the outside. The miners had crowbars, shovels and other tools in their hands, which were now used as weapons. They slowly moved closer to Guan Wenwei and others!
