Li Yuanlang originally thought that there would only be petitioners in front of the city hall, but to his surprise, hundreds of employees from Jingcheng Chemical blocked the gate of the Intermediate Court again.

There were petitions in two places in succession, which has never happened in the history of Deping City.

Li Yuanlang felt that the situation was serious.

He calmed down and told Li Peishe that the Intermediate People's Court should do a good job in comforting the people and not be disturbed by the outside world. They must stick to what they should do.

Afterwards, after calming down, Li Yuanlang slowly walked towards the gate of the city hall with confident steps.

Lou Tianyuan, who was maintaining order and persuading people at the scene, saw this and hurried over and persuaded: "Mayor Li, you better not go there. These old people are determined and will not give up until they achieve their goals..."

Li Yuanlang raised his hand to stop him and said, "If I don't go, they will definitely not leave either. They are here just for me."

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

Li Yuanlang's support for the Intermediate People's Court's live broadcast of the court hearing touched Fan Youcheng's lung tube.

He can't do anything to Li Yuanlang, but he can encourage employees who don't know the truth, as well as their parents and family members, to sit in front of the city hall.

Moreover, Li Yuanlang also saw that the reason why Fan Youcheng mobilized the elderly was entirely because they were old and had poor health, so the city would not do anything to them.

Who dares to touch a frail old man? One has a bad heart, and the other is suffering from age-related diseases.

Not to mention touching it, but if you get a little excited, fall into coma or have convulsions, you may cause a lot of trouble.

Therefore, when Li Yuanlang came to do ideological work among the elderly, he not only had to demonstrate his eloquence, but also had to bear certain risks.

This is what Lou Tianyuan's good intentions refer to.

Li Yuanlang was unmoved. If he hid and became a coward, it would be difficult to calm down the storm, and it would also make people think that Li Yuanlang was ashamed and did not dare to show his face.

He never wants to get rid of the reputation of Mayor Wugui in his whole life.

The elderly people present all noticed a tall figure appearing.

Li Yuanlang walked in front of everyone, and someone immediately stood up, pointed at Li Yuanlang and introduced everyone, "Come and see, the mayor is here."

As a result, everyone got up and came over, and soon they surrounded Li Yuanlang, clamoring for an explanation.

Mu Guangsen, Lou Tianyuan, and many police officers came to protect the mayor.

At this time, Li Yuanlang was not in a hurry, he raised his hands and cupped his fists at everyone and said: "Old people, don't be anxious, I'm just here to talk to you for a while."

"You are all surrounding me, talking so much that I can't hear what you are saying. The weather is good today, the sky is clear, the wind is sunny, and the sun is not bad. Is this okay? You sit down while I stand.

If you have any questions, please ask one by one, and I will definitely explain it to everyone."

Not to mention, everyone listened to Li Yuanlang's words and obediently returned to the small stools and sat down one after another.

At this time, Lou Tianyuan handed the handheld loudspeaker to Li Yuanlang's hand.

Li Yuanlang cleared his throat and made the opening remarks first.

"Dear elderly people, let me discuss something with you first. Let's make a way out of the gate. It's almost time to go to work. Let government officials enter without delaying normal work."

He had a calm attitude and a discussion tone, without any condescending official airs.

The key is that Li Yuanlang is standing right in front of him. He is Nan Bowan, the top talker in this building.

With him here, there is no point in blocking the door.

One of them, an old man with gray hair and glasses, said in a loud voice: "Let's just listen to the mayor and don't make it difficult for others."

Obviously, the old man should be the organizer among the petitioners, or someone with high prestige.

After his words fell, some people in the crowd began to take the initiative to move their small benches to the side.

One infected two, and many people followed suit. Soon, an aisle appeared that could pass a car in and out.

Seeing everyone's actions, Li Yuanlang held up a loudspeaker and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you for your understanding and cooperation."

The old man wearing glasses adjusted his glasses frame and asked first: "Mayor, we have cooperated. We have cooperated. Do you also need to cooperate to cancel the live broadcast of the court hearing in the Intermediate People's Court and not allow Jingcheng Chemical to compensate 300 million yuan?

Our children have a way out."

Li Yuanlang looked at the old man and said calmly: "Old comrade, I want to correct some misunderstandings in your words."

"First, the live broadcast trial of the Intermediate People's Court is the result of collective deliberations between the Intermediate People's Court collegial panel and the court leaders. The municipal party committee and the municipal government have no reason or power to stop or change it."

"Secondly, whether Jingcheng Chemical should compensate or not requires a fair trial under the law. As a mayor, I have no power to interfere in judicial trials."

"If Jingcheng Chemical is innocent, they will not and should not care about the live broadcast of the trial. If they are fine, they can just take this opportunity to confirm to the majority of netizens and Deping citizens that Jingcheng Chemical is a law-abiding company. Wouldn't it be free publicity?"

"One more thing, you raised the issue of employees' livelihood. Here, I want to express my position to all of you. No matter what the outcome of the environmental protection case is, the municipal party committee and government will never let hundreds of employees stay or leave without asking.

Proper arrangements will be made.”

Li Yuanlang's point-by-point refutation and point-by-point explanation still had an effect among these old people.

Wow...

The crowd began to whisper.

Another old man raised his hand and said: "The waste was dumped into the Dechun River by Yuantai Chemical. What does it have to do with Jingcheng Chemical? Jingcheng Chemical was framed, and the Environmental Protection Federation is purely blackmailing."

"Yes." Someone echoed, "When the Environmental Protection Federation saw that Jingcheng Chemical was making money, they were jealous and sued Jingcheng Chemical as well. It was obvious that they didn't want it in vain."

"Yes, the Environmental Protection Federation is just a mess."

"What right do they have to sue Jingcheng Chemical and Boss Fan? They must have pink eye and can't see others being kind..."

Driven by this rhythm, the scene was buzzing and quickly entered a noisy stage.

At this time, Kuang Zaohui, Xu Guangshui, Wei Xingfu and others hurried over, all surrounding Li Yuanlang.

Kuang Zaohui wanted to say something, but Li Yuanlang waved his hand gently, then picked up the loudspeaker and explained seriously.

"Please be quiet, everyone. You are talking so noisily, and I can't hear clearly what you are saying."

The old man wearing glasses also stood up and pressed down with his hands, trying to persuade everyone to be quiet.

Slowly, the voice finally became calmer.

Li Yuanlang said seriously: "You are speaking from the perspective of Jingcheng Chemical because your children need the job of Jingcheng Chemical to support their families. This is understandable. Who among the parents in the world does not care about their children?"

"As the mayor of Deping, I have to talk to you from a fair perspective."

"The Environmental Protection Federation is a non-governmental organization, but it represents the residents living on both sides of the Dechun River. Like you, these residents have families, wives, children, and many others who depend on the Dechun River for their livelihood."

"The recent case of poisoning of teachers and students at Xiaye Town Primary School involved the fish farmers who used to raise fish in cages in the Dechun River. Before the Dechun River was polluted, the Dechun River was rich in aquatic plants, and the cultured fish were plump and tasty.

It’s so delicious, all of you here must have tasted it.”

"But since the Dechun River was man-made polluted, they can't continue to raise fish, and they have lost their money. But there are still people who continue to raise fish and sell it secretly, taking risks."

"The cafeteria of Xiaye Town Primary School, just for cheap, bought a batch of these contaminated fish, causing hundreds of teachers and students to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea."

"Thanks to our timely rescue, no deaths occurred. However, it has caused a huge shadow on the young minds of these children. Many children will no longer dare to eat fish in the future, and they will be afraid of even the sight of fish."

"I think your grandchildren should be about the same age as these children. If your grandchildren were in such a situation, as grandparents, what would you think?"

"Also, the cage fish farmer who was captured cried during the interrogation and said that it was the evil guys who dumped chemical waste into the Dechun River that cut off his financial path and his family's livelihood. In order to survive, for the whole family

He will only take desperate risks when he has food to eat. Who do you think he should turn to to settle this debt?"

"The Environmental Protection Federation not only sued Yuantai Chemical, but also Jingcheng Chemical. There is another important reason."
