After the woman finished speaking, Li Tianyi said very simply: "It is a task that I must complete to help you get back the poverty alleviation funds that were owed before. Don't worry about this."
Having said this, Li Tianyi looked at the woman and asked, "Have your village cadres given you a receipt after collecting your money?"
The woman said: "There is no receipt. If anyone asks for a receipt, our village chief has told us not to think about being classified as a poor household next year."
Li Tianyi nodded and said: "Do you dare to take me to confront the person in charge of your village? As long as you can make your village leader admit in front of me that I have received this money from you, then I will
I can assure you that I will get back all the poverty alleviation funds that you have been severely deducted over the years within three days."
Hearing what Li Tianyi said, the woman's eyes lit up. He discussed it with several other villagers, and they immediately assured Li Tianyi: "We can guarantee that the village leaders will admit in front of you that they said something about us."
money, but how can you guarantee that you will help us get that money back?"
At this time, the old man who had been standing silently beside him suddenly said: "Old Meng's family, just go to the village leader. I can guarantee him that there will be no problems with what he said."
Seeing the old man come forward, the eyes of the woman and other villagers who just looked at Li Tianyi changed. When they looked at the old man, their eyes were all full of respect.
Li Tianyi was even more surprised when he saw the eyes of these villagers looking at the old man. From these details, he could tell that the old man was very prestigious in Tangjia Village.
Li Tianyi was filled with strong doubts about the identity of this old man: Who is he? Why do so many villagers trust him so much?
The woman said, "Since Mr. Tang approves of you, you can follow us to find our village chief now."
As he said that, the villagers took the lead and walked forward. Li Tianyi and Zhuge Tong followed them slowly, walking less than 200 meters and arriving in front of a very luxuriously decorated private house.
The woman slapped the door vigorously and shouted loudly: "Uncle Tang, open the door quickly."
After a while, the door opened. An old man about 60 years old with slightly gray hair opened the door, frowned and looked at the woman, and said: "Old Meng's family, do you have something to do with me?"
The woman said: "Uncle Tang, we came here today to verify something with you. Let's go inside and talk."
The old man glanced at these people and didn't care, but when he saw Li Tianyi and Zhuge Tong behind these people, he frowned, looked at the woman and asked: "Old Meng's family
Yes, what exactly do you want to do?"
Seeing what the old man said, the woman immediately said in a loud voice: "Uncle Tang, we mainly want to verify with you that the village has charged each of our poor households a handling fee of 520 yuan. Where did this money go?"
?”
When the old man heard what the woman said, his expression immediately changed. He immediately opened the door and said, "Come in and talk. Don't stand outside."
He was worried that what these poor households said would be heard by other people.
After entering the house, the old man surnamed Tang looked at the woman and asked: "Why do you suddenly ask this question? Who is this person behind you?"
Li Tianyi introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, I am Li Tianyi, the deputy mayor of Jiangcheng City. I am here mainly to investigate the problems in the use of poverty alleviation funds in Tangjia Village. I hope you can seek truth from facts.
answer my question."
After Li Tianyi finished speaking, the faces of the villagers at the scene, especially the woman, were all shocked. The woman stared at Li Tianyi with her mouth wide open and said, "Are you the deputy mayor?"
His words were full of doubts about Li Tianyi's identity.
Li Tianyi smiled and said, "It's guaranteed to be genuine."
The old man at the entrance of the village asked you to trust me because he knew my true identity.
After Li Tianyi finished speaking, these villagers suddenly realized that they were full of respect and trust for the old man at the entrance of the village.
At this moment, the face of the old man surnamed Tang turned pale. His eyes were full of horror as he looked at Li Tianyi and said, "Are you the deputy mayor who has been staying at the grassroots level to conduct investigations?"
Li Tianyi nodded and said: "That's right, it's me. I also ask Village Chief Tang to give me truthful feedback on what you know. I'll talk about my policy first. I'll be lenient if I confess, and I'll be strict if I lie. As long as you are willing."
Cooperate with my work and I will give you appropriate tolerance for the mistakes you have made within the scope allowed by the principles."
After Li Tianyi finished speaking, the old man surnamed Tang hesitated, his eyes darting around. He was very clear about his own problems, but at this moment, facing these villagers who he knew very well,
Facing the powerful deputy mayor Li Tianyi, he had to think carefully.
At this time, a nearby villager said angrily: "Tang Dahu, in front of the deputy mayor, do you still want to deny the mistakes I made by your village leader? Do you want us to recruit all poor households?
Come to testify against you face to face?"
It has to be said that what the villager said directly hit the weakness of the village chief Tang Dahu. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Li Tianyi and said with a bitter look on his face: "Deputy Mayor Li, since we are at our home today.
, since so many fellow villagers are here today, I will not beat you in circles. I admit that our village has collected a handling fee of 520 yuan for each poor household, but this money has not fully entered
After collecting the money from the village's account, we only kept one hundred yuan, and the rest was handed over to the town leaders."
Li Tianyi asked: "Who gave it to me?"
Tang Dahu hesitated again. She really didn't want to answer Li Tianyi's question because he knew that once he answered this question, it would mean that he would stand opposite the town leader, and it was even possible that Li Tianyi would ask him to stand
Once he comes out to testify against the town leaders, once he gets to that point, whether he can survive in Tangjia Village is a question.
At this time, the villager who had woken up Tang Dahu just now said loudly: "Tang Dahu, what are you still hesitating about? Do you think that the power of the town leader is greater than that of Vice Mayor Li?"
Tang Dahu was awakened by this villager's words. He thought to himself: Lao Waitou is right. No matter how powerful the town leader is, how can he defeat the deputy mayor in front of him?
Although the town leaders are his direct superiors, it is obvious that since the deputy mayor has come to know about the problems on their side, he will definitely investigate these problems clearly next. If he does not understand at this time
If we go forward and retreat, once the deputy mayor gets angry, I'm afraid my life will not be easy either.
The world is huge, and my own interests are the greatest. There is no need for me to get involved for the sake of the town leaders.
After thinking about these issues, Tang Dahu immediately told Li Tianyi like pouring beans from a bamboo bucket: "Deputy Mayor Li, to be honest, as the village leader of Tangjia Village, we really don't want to squeeze and exploit the poor people in the village.
We have limited poverty alleviation funds for each household, because we don’t pay attention to them at all. Look at our family, we are in business, with an annual income of more than 100,000, and we don’t pay attention to the poverty alleviation funds at all.
But the problem is that the town leaders explicitly and covertly asked us to allocate a large portion of the poverty alleviation funds to subsidize some of the town's shortfalls. If we don't do what the town leaders want, I'm afraid our village chief and village party secretary's positions will be ruined.
We cannot sit still, and the truth will not support or favor our village in many future tasks. We also deduct poverty alleviation funds in accordance with the requirements of the town leaders."
Li Tianyi nodded and asked, "Have you withheld the money collected by your village?"
Tang Dahu said: "We withhold one hundred yuan from each poor household every month. This money is mainly used for the village's public funds and is not entered into the account books. This can ensure that every town and county leader who comes down will be treated well.
reception.”
Li Tianyi asked again: "Then who did you give the remaining money to? Don't tell me that it was given to the town. What I want to hear is who specifically it was given to."
Tang Dahu said: "I handled this money and gave it to Ma Tianbo, the deputy mayor in charge of poverty alleviation in our town."
Li Tianyi then asked: "Did Ma Tianbo give you a receipt?"
Tang Dahu shook his head and said: "How can it be possible to issue a receipt for this kind of thing? We don't issue receipts to the villagers, and similarly, the town will not issue receipts to us."
Li Tianyi nodded and said, "Do you want to make meritorious service for your crime?"
Tang Dahu nodded without hesitation and said, "I do."
Li Tianyi stared at Tang Dahu and said: "In that case, please take me directly to the deputy mayor Ma Tianbo for confrontation. As long as he admits to receiving the money from you, then I will let the people below you
Treated lightly.”
Tang Dahu nodded quickly and bowed and said: "Mayor Li, please don't worry, I will take you to the town right now. If Ma Tianbo doesn't admit that he took my money, I will fight with him."
In order to protect himself, Tang Dahu also risked his life.
Afterwards, Li Tianyi took Tang Dahu and the village party secretary Tang Mingyu with him, and Li Tianyi's car, which the four of them were riding in, drove straight towards Fenghuang Town.
300 meters west of the entrance of Tangjia Village, the man wearing sunglasses who was observing Li Tianyi's every move with a telescope, saw Li Tianyi and others getting into the car and leaving, and immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed that person again.
I called my boss and reported what happened here.
The instructions given to him from above came immediately over the phone. He continued to monitor Li Tianyi's every move and waited for my orders at any time.
