The pursuit of a position in officialdom

Ge Jiande didn't say anything. At this time, the phone rang. After hearing what the other party said, Ge Jiande's expression suddenly changed. Zhang Xianjun vaguely heard from the side that Yang Songtao was reporting to Ge Jiande. At this time, Yang Songtao was dealing with the mass fight in Xiling County. At this time, Ge Jiande's expression changed drastically, which could only mean that something bigger had happened in Xiling.

Ge Jiande hung up the phone, lay on the chair behind him, and didn't speak for a long time. Zhang Xianjun was worried that something had happened, so he asked, "Secretary Ge, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? I will arrange for you to go to the hospital now."

At this time, Ge Jiande said feebly, "I'm fine. Go and ask Mayor Wujiang to come over. I have important things to discuss with him. Go quickly, go quickly."

Ge Jiande said three times to go quickly. It seemed that the matter was very urgent. Zhang Xianjun didn't care about his identity and ran all the way to Li Wujiang's office. At this time, Vice Mayor Qu Haibin was in Li Wujiang's office. Seeing Zhang Xianjun panting, he quickly stood up and offered his seat.

Zhang Xianjun waved his hand and said, "Mayor Li, Secretary Ge has something urgent to do with you. Please come over now."

Seeing Zhang Xianjun's state, Li Wujiang knew that something big must have happened. Let Qu Haibin do his work first and discuss other matters later. Then he followed Zhang Xianjun to Ge Jiande's office.

On the way there, Li Wujiang asked, "Secretary-General, what happened?"

"Mayor Li, Secretary Ge didn't say anything either. I don't know the specific situation, but I think Secretary Ge's face doesn't look good."

When Li Wujiang arrived at Ge Jiande's office, he saw that Ge Jiande's face was pale and weak, and he immediately asked with concern, "Secretary Ge, what's wrong with you?"

"Wujiang, I'm fine. Something big happened in Xiling County." Ge Jiande told Li Wujiang and Zhang Xianjun about the call he just received.

The person who called just now was indeed Yang Songtao. Yang Songtao told Ge Jiande that when he went over, he had already taken control of the situation and was organizing negotiations between the two parties. Unexpectedly, an old man in Hexi Village who was being treated in the hospital also died due to ineffective rescue efforts. After the news came, the deceased's son could no longer control himself. He led the people in Hexi Village and fought with weapons, regardless of the police's obstruction. The situation got out of control. The policeman who maintained public order fired a warning shot, but the gun was snatched away by the old man's son. He walked away and eventually opened fire, killing four people on the spot and wounding two others. One of the policemen also died.

Li Wujiang and Zhang Xianjun were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out when they heard the news. It was originally a fight between two villages. Ge Jiande arranged for Yang Songtao to deal with the matter, but it was not handled well and led to a bigger accident. The first time the armed fight was a dispute between neighboring villages, but this time it was a shooting and killing, the nature has changed. Maybe Binzhou will face a huge crisis this time.

Li Wujiang was relatively calm and quickly regained his composure. "Secretary Ge, such a big thing has happened in Xiling County, and our Binzhou Municipal Party Committee needs to come up with a solution as soon as possible. I suggest that on the one hand, the matter should be reported to the provincial party committee and the provincial government as soon as possible. Such a big thing cannot be hidden. On the other hand, we need to set up a case handling team, a aftermath handling team, a legal aid team, and a situation stabilization team to go to Xiling as soon as possible to resolve the matter."

Zhang Xianjun still admired Li Wujiang. At this time, being able to make suggestions so calmly was not something ordinary people could do.

Ge Jiande also regained his composure after a brief trance. "Wujiang, what you said is very good. According to your suggestion, the current army will set up relevant groups as soon as possible and inform all the Standing Committee members of the relevant situation. However, everyone must abide by the disciplines and let everyone say what they should and shouldn't say. It’s clear. Wujiang, something big happened in Xiling County. As the top leader in Binzhou, I need to go to the front line, and you will be in charge of the work in Binzhou.”

"Secretary Ge, you are the backbone of Binzhou. Binzhou needs you to take charge and coordinate all aspects of work. I will go to Xiling County in person, and I will definitely handle the Xiling incident properly."

Seeing that Li Wujiang did not refuse at this time and looked very responsible, Ge Jiande felt a little ashamed. He still had small thoughts about Li Wujiang and did not expect that Li Wujiang could stand up for him at the critical moment. "Okay, Wujiang, I'll leave Xiling County to you. Thank you for your hard work. If you need anything, just ask."

After coming out of Ge Jiande's office, Li Wujiang set off for Xiling County. Not only did he go there by himself, but he also took deputy mayor Cheng Kunyang, Zhu Yinglai and others with him.

"Mayor Cheng, when we arrive at Xiling, we will act separately. You go to the hospital to understand the specific conditions of the injured and ask the hospital to do everything possible to treat them. For those who are serious and need to be transferred, they can be transferred to Binzhou People's Hospital and Jining People's Hospital. Director Yinglai and I went to the crime scene."

"Mayor Li, it's me who will lead people to the crime scene. After all, there are still many people at the scene. The crowd is currently unstable and safety is still a big problem." Cheng Kunyang is a centrist in Binzhou City and is in charge of safety, sanitation, emergency response and other work. .

Chapter 499: Turbulent waves, but calm in times of crisis

"Mayor Cheng, things have developed to this point, what could be worse than now. We are the people's parents and officials, and sooner or later we have to face them. Besides, we are solving the problem this time, how can we solve it if we don't come forward. Of course. , I would also like to give you a few suggestions. The first one is to keep the lives of the people safe and put the safety of the people first at all times. The second one is to maintain restraint and calmness and do not compete with others. Local people have conflicts; Article 3: We must strictly abide by the law. When faced with problems, we should not be timid and dare not deal with them. As long as we act in accordance with the law, we must deal with them boldly. "There is a distance from Binzhou to Xiling County. , Li Wujiang closed his eyes in the car and said nothing.

"Secretary Yang, although this group of ordinary people have not taken action anymore, the two sides are still in confrontation. What should we do now?" Fang Aimin, secretary of the Xiling County Party Committee, asked. He didn't care if such a big thing happened in Xiling. Dare to make decisions without permission.

Yang Songtao's heart was in turmoil at this moment. When Ge Jiande entrusted this matter to him at first, he thought it would be easy and easy to get it done. So after arriving in Xiling County, he did not go to the scene of the incident and stayed at the Xiling County Hotel. Instead, he asked the captain of the Public Security Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau to personally lead the team to the scene of the incident. Unexpectedly, in just two days, Things took a turn for the worse.

"You have a lot of unscrupulous people in Xiling. You can do anything. You even dare to snatch police guns. These people are asking for death. Also, you group of cadres don't know how to do it. The huge Xiling County allows you to If the management is like this, you will personally explain it to the provincial and municipal committees.”

Fang Aimin heard from Yang Songtao's mouth the intention of shirking responsibility. This is blaming them, the Xiling County Committee, for neglecting their duties. But he didn't think so in his heart. Before Yang Songtao came, the incident in Hexi Village was still under their control. However, since the municipal party committee's disposal team came, things have deteriorated sharply. If the superiors want to take action, the municipal party committee cannot escape. But these were just thoughts in his mind and he didn't dare to say them out. "Secretary Yang, your criticism is correct. We, Xiling County, are responsible for this incident. However, do we have to deal with the current situation as soon as possible? I am worried that something worse will happen next."

"Mayor Li is already on his way here. We will follow Mayor Li's arrangements for the next thing." Yang Songtao has already made such a big deal, and he is in urgent need of handing over this hot potato.

"Okay, Mayor Li is here. We believe that there will be a turn for the better in handling this matter. Secretary Yang, please rest here for a while, and I will go over to greet Mayor Li." After saying that, Fang Aimin called Zhu Yinglai directly and asked Li During Wujiang's trip, he didn't expect that Li Wujiang had arrived at the crime scene in Hexi Village. This made Fang Aimin feel uneasy. Such a big thing happened in Xiling and he was not at the first scene. This would give Li Wujiang a bad impression.

"Secretary Yang, Mayor Li has arrived directly at the scene."

After hearing this, Yang Songtao's expression changed. This Li Wujiang really didn't follow the routine. According to the procedure, Li Wujiang went to the Xiling County Committee first, listened to the report, and then went to the front line to deal with the situation. Unexpectedly, Li Wujiang rushed to the scene directly. This made him very passive. "Let's go, Secretary Fang, let's get to the scene as soon as possible."

When Li Wujiang rushed to Hexi Village, he was also shocked by the scene. It was also the first time for him to see a large scene of more than two hundred people fighting with weapons. However, the two parties did not take action at this time. Instead, they stood and sat around.

Ma Jianchao saw Li Wujiang coming and walked over immediately. "Mayor Li, Xiling County is causing trouble for you."

"County Magistrate Ma, you are not causing trouble for me, you are causing big trouble for the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee. Why are you here alone? Where is your county party committee secretary?"

"Secretary Fang is accompanying Secretary Yang in the county party committee compound, studying solutions." Ma Jianchao's face was sweating.

"The incident happened in Hexi Village, but people went to the county committee to discuss the plan. I think it's just nonsense." Li Wujiang didn't show any mercy at this time. "How is the situation at the scene?"

"The villagers of the two villages are still in a state of confrontation, and there is a state of unwillingness to give up. However, everyone was frightened by the shooting today, so the current situation is relatively stable for the time being."

"Has the person who killed someone with a gun been arrested?"

Ma Jianchao said with an embarrassed look, "Mayor Li, Wang Jialiang, who is now armed with a gun and killing people, is being protected by his family. He threatened to step over them if he wanted to arrest them."

"So many people were killed. Do you think you should ignore the law and ignore the deaths just because you were threatened? You are really good cadres." Li Wujiang gritted his teeth at this time and really wanted to remove these cadres from their posts and investigate. But thinking about it carefully, he also knew what these people were thinking. If something happened, they were worried about something bigger happening, so they just waited for the municipal committee to send people to solve it. This is what Yang Songtao is thinking. The officials in Xiling County probably don't dare to have such thoughts.

Ma Jianchao was afraid to say a word. As a county magistrate, he is now in a difficult situation. They are all leaders of the municipal party committee. Who does he dare to offend?

"Okay, you inform Secretary Yang and Secretary Fang to go to the township government where Hexi Village is located to hold a meeting as soon as possible."

At this time, the villagers in Hexi and Hedong villages also saw that Li Wujiang was a high-ranking official and gathered around him, especially the people in Hedong village.

"Leader, you have to make the decision for us. My wife was beaten to death by Wang Jialiang from Hexi Village. You have to arrest him." An old lady cried.

A group of people were all talking, but Li Wujiang looked at this scene and had no intention of speaking. At this time, he knew that these common people were on the verge of anger. They would not listen to what he said, and it would only arouse greater emotions.

Zhu Yinglai could also look at his face and guess what Li Wujiang was thinking, so he asked the surrounding public security personnel to separate the crowd. At this time, Li Wujiang got into the car and left. Li Wujiang felt that his departure this time was a bit embarrassing. This incident made him understand that as a mayor, economic development is one aspect, but raising people's legal awareness and resolving mass disputes is more important.

Yang Songtao, Cheng Kunyang, Zhu Yinglai, Fang Aimin, Ma Jianchao and others were sitting in the conference room in Huangshi Town. They looked at Li Wujiang's angry look and did not dare to speak.

"Don't look at me anymore. If you are interested, you should think about how to deal with the bloodshed in Hexi and Hedong villages. Secretary Aimin, you are the parent officer of Xiling County. Can you tell me how to deal with the next thing? "

Chapter 500 Bold Disposal, Operation Thunder

Li Wujiang suddenly asked Fang Aimin this question, making him unable to answer it. He originally thought that Li Wujiang came in person and brought a solution, but he did not expect that the result would be like this. However, the leaders of the municipal committee were here at this time, and it was not his decision. He immediately said, "Mayor Li, the Xiling County Committee completely obeys the decisions of the municipal committee and the municipal government and cooperates with the actions of the municipal committee and the municipal government."

Li Wujiang laughed after hearing this, and this laughter made the cadres present feel very biting. "Secretary Songtao, please listen carefully. Secretary Fang said that matters in Xiling County should be handled by the municipal committee. He is a good cadre and obeys the orders of his superiors. I want to see if you suggest to Secretary Ge that Secretary Fang be given a commendation."

After hearing Li Wujiang's words, the faces of everyone present turned red, especially Fang Aimin's face, which looked even uglier. He didn't expect Li Wujiang to be so disrespectful to him and to make it impossible for him to step down in front of so many people.

Yang Songtao was also extremely angry. Fang Aimin was completely shirking responsibility. He is the handling leader assigned by the municipal party committee, so he is blaming himself. "Secretary Fang, when you are a leading cadre, you must be responsible. If you push all the responsibilities of Xiling County to the municipal party committee, then what do you need to do for the Xiling County Committee and County Government? When there is a problem, it is not about actively trying to solve it, but Thinking about how to find a way out for yourself is like a people’s cadre.”

When Fang Aimin heard that the two leaders had such strong opinions on him, he quickly explained, "Mayor Li and Secretary Yang, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that I followed the arrangements of Mayor Li and Secretary Yang."

"Okay, Secretary Fang, what do you mean? We'll talk about it later. Today I'll let you tell me how to solve the matter at hand." Li Wujiang interrupted Fang Aimin.

Fang Aimin was not prepared at all. He muttered but did not come up with a solution in the end.

Time was running out, so Li Wujiang had no choice but to interrupt him and turned to ask Yang Songtao if he had any ideas.

"Mayor Li, the Xiling County incident happened suddenly. Many of our cadres have never encountered such a thing, so they did not do a good job in handling the crisis, so that such a major accident occurred. As the person in charge of this matter, I Leaders have unshirkable responsibilities. "Yang Songtao is a smart man. He first made a self-examination. He also knows that since he is responsible for this matter, he cannot escape responsibility.

Li Wujiang waved his hand and said, "Secretary Songtao, it is not the responsibility of holding anyone accountable at this time. We urgently need to come up with a plan to solve the Xiling incident as soon as possible. Now not only the common people are watching us, but the provincial party committee and the provincial government are also waiting for us. plan."

"Mayor Li, I think we need to start from the following aspects. First, we need to do a good job in treating the injured; second, we need to bring the murder suspects to justice as soon as possible. If the criminal suspects are not brought to justice, the law will be challenged, and the people The grievances will not be eliminated; the third is to do a good job of comforting, especially to comfort the families of the dead and injured, and ensure that they can treat them calmly. "

After listening to what Yang Songtao said, Li Wujiang thought that he still had two brushes and his thinking was still very clear at critical moments. If he had faced it seriously and solved it properly when he first arrived in Xiling, such a big thing would not have happened in Xiling County. "Secretary Songtao said it very well. It is important to treat people and comfort their families. But how to bring criminal suspects to justice and resolve the immediate crisis? Does Secretary Songtao have any good ideas?"

Yang Songtao knew that Li Wujiang was also a master and was not easy to fool, so he immediately found out the key to the problem. Although he had given a general idea, how to arrest the criminal suspect and resolve the immediate crisis was the key. If this happened in the past, he would have ordered the public security organs to use the strongest force to arrest the suspects. However, the villagers in Hexi and Hedong villages were too unruly and suffered a loss. This time he was a little afraid to move. . Now he feels a little frightened. "Mayor Wujiang, you have touched on the crux of the problem. For criminals, the public security organs can use violent means to arrest them in accordance with the law. However, the situation in Hedong and Hexi villages is too special and requires our careful consideration."

"What I'm saying is that the bloody incident in Xiling cannot be repeated, but the crisis in Xiling must also be resolved. We cannot worry about the outbreak of the crisis and just leave it alone. We must now consider it comprehensively to ensure that it can be resolved smoothly. Today, the city, county, and township levels The leaders are all here. No matter what happened before, from now on we must think in one place and think in one place. Now we must keep the things discussed in our meeting confidential. If anyone leaks the matter, I'm sorry. We will always settle the score.”

Li Wujiang paused for a while after speaking, hoping to give everyone a chance to think and speak, but time passed by and no one spoke at the scene. At this time, it was so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard.

Li Wujiang cleared his throat and said, "Since everyone is silent, I will give my opinion. Let's discuss it. If everyone thinks it is feasible, we will report it to the municipal party committee for study. Comrades, the Xiling incident has caused many casualties. Provincial and municipal leaders have We attach great importance to it, and the media and people are also paying attention, so we must work hard to resolve this matter now. I think we can take two steps. The first step is to resolve the matter. The people were isolated and arranged for members of the legal propaganda team to educate everyone on the law one by one, so that the villagers in the two villages realized the harmfulness of their behavior and asked them to voluntarily hand over the criminal suspects. Of course, many villagers in these two villages We have all participated in armed fighting. We must deal with the situation according to the situation, and we cannot be one-size-fits-all. For minor cases, we must criticize and educate them. For serious cases, we must also resolutely safeguard the dignity of the law and never be lenient. The second step is to ineffective persuasion. Under such circumstances, our public security staff can take strong measures to take away criminal suspects based on the previous investigation. "

As soon as Li Wujiang's words came to light, everyone present was in awe, but everyone knew that Li Wujiang had the highest position, and no one refuted.

"If you have any opinions, you can speak out. If this opinion is passed, then everyone needs to share the responsibility. Don't think that I am the mayor and all responsibilities will be borne by me. I will shoulder my responsibilities, and so will you. You must bear your responsibilities." Li Wujiang was in a bad mood today and was very angry.

"Mayor Li, the folk customs in Hexi and Hedong villages are relatively strong. There have been two incidents. I am worried that if the methods are too tough, it will cause greater public anger." County Mayor Ma Jianchao kindly reminded.

Chapter 501: Using force to suppress others, multi-pronged approach

"The issue that County Magistrate Wang is considering is very important. This is our biggest concern. For the sake of the people, I hope to focus on persuasion. But if persuasion fails, we will fall into a dead end. We must treat the people leniently. , but we must take action when it is time to take action against criminals. If we can take action forcefully, it will not lead to a second bloodshed. We must understand that condoning illegal and criminal acts will cause more people to suffer. Sacrifice. Of course, in order to avoid the escalation of the conflict, I will suggest that the municipal party committee mobilize more police forces to support Xiling County. If this is not possible, we can also ask for support from the military region, and we can move quickly and attack quickly."

Only Li Wujiang dared to say this, deploying more police forces and even requesting support from the military region. But when Li Wujiang said this, no one else had any objections.

At this time, Li Wujiang's phone rang. When Li Wujiang saw that it belonged to Li Weiguo, he immediately took the phone and walked out.

Li Weiguo also went straight to the point and asked Li Wujiang about the situation at the scene, "Wujiang, I heard that you were at the scene. How is the current situation?"

Li Wujiang reported in detail the current situation in Xiling County and his thoughts on how to deal with it.

"Wujiang, the impact of this incident is very bad. The people of the whole province and even the whole country are paying attention. You, Binzhou City, must deal with it quickly and solve it quickly with thunderous means, but you must ensure that no more bloodshed occurs during the handling process." Li Weiguo I am also concerned about Li Wujiang. Binzhou is now in a critical period of development, and something like this happened at this time. Although it will not have any impact on Li Wujiang, it will definitely have an impact on Binzhou and is not conducive to Li Wujiang's ideas and planning. .

"Secretary Li, don't worry, I will handle the Xiling incident quickly and properly to ensure that there are no more casualties."

After hearing Li Wujiang's assurance, Li Weiguo felt relatively relieved about him. "Wujiang, don't feel any pressure. You can do it according to your ideas, and the provincial committee will support you."

Li Wujiang was very moved at this time. If it were an ordinary mayor or municipal party committee secretary, Li Wujiang knew that Li Weiguo would never say such a thing. This fully demonstrates Li Weiguo's concern for him.

After hanging up the phone from Li Weiguo, Li Wujiang called Ge Jiande and reported his thoughts on how to deal with it. Ge Jiande was also shocked after hearing this. Seeing that Li Wujiang was going to deal with it forcefully, he was worried that if there was another big trouble, he, the municipal party committee secretary, would probably suffer as well.

Li Wujiang felt Ge Jiande's hesitation on the other end of the phone, and immediately said, "Secretary Ge, Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee called me just now. Everyone is paying attention to this matter now. If this matter cannot be handled quickly, I'm worried about the consequences." It's unimaginable." Li Wujiang believed that with Li Weiguo's shadow, Ge Jiande would be able to make up his mind as soon as possible.

Sure enough, when Ge Jiande heard the words Li Weiguo, he immediately became energetic and said, "Wujiang, you should do the preliminary work first, and we will convene a meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee immediately."

Li Wujiang was also helpless. He knew that Ge Jiande lacked courage for such a major matter, and holding a standing committee could share everyone's responsibilities.

The Standing Committee met for a long time and finally approved Li Wujiang's opinions. However, the municipal party committee still needed to mobilize police and judicial workers to the scene, so Li Wujiang could only make preliminary planning and arrangements at the scene.

"Secretary Li, I heard that this guy from Wujiang was personally invited to the scene. This guy is really there wherever there is a crisis." Chen Baojia said to Li Weiguo with a smile.

"This also fully shows that although Wujiang is young, he is very responsible. When faced with a crisis, he did not retreat and dared to take responsibility. It shows that we did not misjudge him."

"Yes, it would be good if there were more cadres like Wujiang. He is resolute, courageous, strategic and courageous."

"Governor Baojia, the Binzhou incident also fully exposed that our Jining Province has major problems in grassroots governance. At present, we spend most of our energy on economic development and lack a deep understanding of grassroots social governance. Especially with the development of society, old problems have not been solved and new problems have emerged in an endless stream, but our grassroots cadres' governance thinking and methods have not changed, and have not kept up with the needs of the current social development. In particular, our grassroots organizations lack sufficient awareness of conflict investigation and dispute resolution, which has led to frequent homicides caused by social conflicts in recent years. We must learn from one example and reflect deeply." Li Weiguo is in a high position, has access to a lot of information, and has a strong ability to unravel the mystery. He can see the general trend of social change from small things.

"Yes, the Xiling incident requires all cadres in the province to be alert. We can't just focus on development and ignore the present. If our development is separated from the masses, the meaning of development will no longer exist. However, Wujiang is currently on the front line, and I believe he is facing tremendous pressure."
