Meng Jinxing burst into laughter, "Hello, Minister Zhu, I am Meng Jinxing who has just arrived at the county government. I only know that the Minister of United Front Work is called Zhu Jun, but I don't know anyone's name." Meng Jinxing said.

Zhu Jun also smiled and said: "So you are Meng Jinxing. The guy driving the Hummer is the daughter of Secretary Ge's family in Shencheng?"

Zhu Jun was still thinking about Zhu Yi, who had bright eyes and white teeth.

"No, she is the daughter-in-law of Commander Zhu of the Provincial Military Region." Meng Jinxing replied.

Zhu Jun took two breaths, then smiled and said: "No wonder you were thrown out of the car twice. The children of military officials always walk sideways in Dujiang."

Meng Jinxing thought to himself that he was not thrown away the first time, but she chased him.

But if you think about it carefully, is there any difference?

"Minister Zhu is also back from Dujiang?" Meng Jinxing decided to change the topic, but Zhu Yi was too depressed to give up.

"Well, the city recently organized a study on the new democratic party cadre evaluation regulations. I just came back from the training." Zhu Jun said.

After this chat, we soon arrived at Lanzhi. Zhu Jun drove Meng Jinxing to the county government. At a glance, he saw the Hummer lying in the middle of the yard. The hole in the window that was smashed by Meng Jinxing was particularly glaring.

Zhu Jun smiled and said: "Xiao Meng, you wish for good luck!"

Meng Jinxing got out of the car with a wry smile and said goodbye to Zhu Jun, passing by the Hummer without even stopping.

Zhu Yi became so angry that he kept pressing the horn, like an alarm sounding over the county government, and many heads popped out of the windows of the building.

Meng Jinxing really regretted how he met such a moody woman like Zhu Yi.

He had to turn back, otherwise she might keep honking the horn.

"What do you want?" He stood by the car window and looked at her coldly.

"Find me a place to live." Zhu Yi didn't take his attitude seriously at all, and didn't seem to remember that she had just left him on the road.

"Look for it yourself, I don't have time to go crazy with you!" Meng Jinxing's cell phone rang, and he answered it angrily, "Hello?"

When he heard what Chen Chang said on the other end of the phone, his expression immediately changed, "Have you called a doctor... Do your best to cover up first, I'll be here right away!"

He closed the phone, pulled Zhu Yi down, got into the driver's seat, and yelled at Zhu Yi: "Get in the car!"

Zhu Yi thought he was going to take her to find a hotel, so she immediately got into the passenger seat with a smile. When Meng Jinxing drove out of the county, she realized that he was going all the way to the mountains, and immediately became anxious, "Meng Jinxing, don't you

Are you so stingy and want revenge?"

Meng Jinxing was so anxious at the moment that he had no intention of paying attention to her.

Chen Chang told him on the phone that among the villagers who were blocked by the mine in Zhongba, an old man in his nineties suddenly died at the entrance of the mine in the morning.

They were all beaten.

Within ten days of taking office, someone died at the mine. The more Meng Jinxing thought about it, the colder his heart became. He stepped on the accelerator harder and harder. The Hummer drove a thrilling road on the winding mountain road. Zhu Yi's little face turned pale with fright, and his heart was full of fear.

I wonder if Meng Jinxing wants to die with her.

Because he drove the wrong way, it was already an hour after Meng Jinxing arrived at Zhongba. The entrance of the mine was crowded with people. He searched around and found Chen Chang and Jiang Nan in a corner who were watched by five or six villagers.

A middle-aged man investigated.

Seeing Meng Jinxing, Chen Chang immediately threw away the cigarette in his hand and stood up, "Meng County."

His shout was not loud, but it was like a huge magnet that attracted everyone's attention.

A middle-aged woman, accompanied by seven or eight other women, rushed to Meng Jinxing and screamed: "County Magistrate Meng, you have to make the decision for us! My old man has lived to be nineteen."

It’s over ten years old and I’ve always been healthy, but now I’ve been killed like this!”

Meng Jinxing said quickly: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad. Death is the most important thing. Let's take care of the funeral arrangements for the old man first. We will investigate the rest and we will definitely give you an explanation."

He knew very well that this kind of thing was always justified by public opinion, and mother-in-law was right by mother-in-law. As long as there was no real culprit in the mine, it would be difficult to say who was right and who was wrong.

He asked Chen Chang through the villagers who were guarding Chen Chang: "Has the doctor checked?"

Before Chen Chang could answer, a voice came from behind him, "The investigation is over."

Meng Jinxing turned around and saw a man in a white coat, "Hello, doctor!"

The two sides exchanged greetings, but it turned out that he was too old and had not slept for several nights. In addition, the cold dew was heavy at night, and he had been staying in the open air, so he froze to death.

Meng Jinxing felt sorry for the old man. He was brought here by his family to meditate at such an old age. If he thought about it carefully, his children were very unfilial.

As soon as the middle-aged woman heard the result, she immediately refused and dragged the doctor with runny noses and tears. She must have been bribed by the people at the mine to deliberately make up the story.

Meng Jinxing frowned, "Who are the village party secretary and village chief?"

Chen Chang said: "I have been hiding and not seeing anyone."

"Asshole!" Meng Jinxing scolded, "How long has it been since this happened and you are still hiding? Do they want to dismiss you on the spot?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the village leader did not come, but the township leader came.

"Meng County, I'm late!"

The person who came was nearly two meters tall. He wanted to build an iron tower when standing in front of Meng Jinxing. He was Mu Hong, the party secretary of Guangfeng Township, where Kouba Village is located. He heard someone reported that the new deputy county magistrate had arrived, and threw down the newspaper in hand.

Came over immediately.

Meng Jinxing didn't have time to listen to his explanation, and he didn't want to ask why he showed up so late at this time. "Look, let both sides send representatives to the village committee to sit down and mediate."

Mu Hong immediately agreed to start working. The middle-aged woman was very disrespectful to Mu Chong. She lay on the ground crying and fussing. It wasn't until the village party secretary was found that she sniffed because of the village party secretary's scolding.

With tears in his eyes, he got up.

The family members of the deceased, together with Meng Jinxing and other county and village cadres, went to the village committee office. After asking one by one, Meng Jinxing finally got a rough outline.

The deceased old man's name was Yang Dezhong, and the middle-aged woman was his eldest daughter-in-law.

Yang Dezhong has six children in total, four daughters and two sons. He usually takes turns living in the homes of his two sons. Each of the four daughters pays the two brothers ten yuan a month to subsidize the expenses of the elderly.

Even so, the eldest daughter-in-law was still dissatisfied and wished that Yang Dezhong would stay at his uncle's house and not come back.

A week ago, a mine worker drove a tractor down the mountain and hit Yang Dezhong, causing the old man to be unable to take care of himself and spending a lot of money on medical treatment.

The two Yang brothers approached the mine and asked the mine to reimburse their medical expenses and compensate for their losses.

But the boss of the mine believed that the Yang brothers had to ask the workers who hit the workers if they wanted to claim compensation, and they should not ask the mine, so they insisted on not paying a penny.

When the Yang brothers returned home and made a plan, they unanimously agreed to carry the old man to the entrance of the mine. They blocked the mine and refused to allow mining. The day the mine paid him, they would carry the old man back again.

At first glance, this process sounds like the version of what Wen Hui described.

However, Meng Jinxing felt that the matter was not that simple. During the entire negotiation process, the middle-aged woman's eyes were evasive, and she peeked at the village party secretary from time to time.

He clearly remembered that when Mr. Yu from the mine came to see him, he said that was not the case at all.

"Where's Mr. Yu?" Meng Jinxing asked.

When he came, not a single person in the mine was seen.

After Wen Hui took Mr. Yu away yesterday, apart from the phone call he made, Wen Hui never took the initiative to report on the progress of the matter.

Both the village party secretary and Yang Dezhong’s eldest daughter-in-law said they had not seen anyone from the mine in the past two days!

Mu Hongze said that since the doctor had come to check and found that the old man was not killed but froze to death, everyone should stop making trouble and quickly take the man home to take care of his funeral and let the old man be laid to rest.

The branch secretary didn't say anything, but Mu Hong said angrily: "If you don't carry me back today, you won't be able to take this job!"

While they were talking, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy ran in from outside the house and muttered in the ear of Yang Dezhong's eldest daughter-in-law. After hearing this, Yang Dezhong's eldest daughter-in-law blinked at the party secretary again.

The party secretary finally said to Mu Hong: "Okay, let's carry it back. But even if it freezes to death, the cause is always because someone hit someone in the mine, and they still have to give the Yang family an explanation!"

After saying these superficial words, Mu Hong said to Yang Dezhong's eldest daughter-in-law: "Go back, the county leaders and township leaders are all here. If they don't make up their mind, I will not be the official and I will personally take you to Beijing to file a complaint."

!”

In the blink of an eye, a large group of people had sullen faces. You helped me and went away crying.

Mu Hong said to Meng Jinxing: "Meng County, it's okay. Come back."

"Is this considered done?" Meng Jinxing asked Mu Hong.

"It's hard for an upright official to settle household affairs! In this rural area, there are always accounts that cannot be settled. We have to turn a blind eye, otherwise we will die from exhaustion and be scolded behind our backs!"

Meng Jinxing didn't say any more. Mu Hong's attitude was not the idea of ​​one or two grassroots cadres.

You may say that they are not active in their work, but in fact they go around every village like a fire brigade, putting out fires wherever there is fire.

Meng Jinxing understands the helplessness of the people below who are short of money and manpower. Many grassroots cadres were ambitious when they first arrived at their posts. They had the lofty ideals to take root in the vast world and make a difference. As the days passed, these lofty ideals were slowly and ruthlessly eliminated.

Worn away by reality and complicated mass relations, each and every one of them has become like Mu Hong, a cadre who is a monk in the sky and hits the sky clock, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults.

When he left Zhongba, Meng Jinxing noticed that a piece of hair on the back of Chen Chang's head was stuck together, which had obviously been opened.

After another look, I found that the doctor had already left, so I had to go back to the county to deal with it.

"It's okay, Meng County." Compared to before, Chen Chang was no longer afraid.

"Do you know who hit you?" Meng Jinxing asked after getting in the car.

"There are so many people, who knows who will do it," Chen Chang said.

Zhu Yi, who had been watching with cold eyes, now took out a first aid kit from the back of the car and said, "Let me help you handle it briefly."

Meng Jinxing didn't expect that she still had this thing prepared. It seemed that she did cause trouble a lot. "Can you do it?"

"Are you coming?" Zhu Yi asked politely. After asking, he was answered again, "My mother works in the military hospital. Bandaging is something I have played as a game since I was a child."
