Chapter 997: Is It Empty Talk or Real Action?

Chapter 997: Is it just a lie or is it something practical?

"Governor Zhao, you'd better go in and listen to the report." Seeing that everyone was standing at the door and many passers-by were watching, Yuan Gang advised carefully. Zhao Jianhui glanced at him silently. Seeing this, Yuan Gang lowered his head in panic. The municipal party secretary was made to bow his head without saying a word. This is the deterrent power brought by power. Zhao Jianhui, who is very aware of this, is already very proficient in mastering this technique.

"Governor Zhao, this... let me talk about the aftermath first." Li Shuqun secretly glanced at Yuan Gang, who was a little embarrassed, and became more respectful when facing Zhao Jianhui. Zhao Jianhui nodded gently, indicating that he would inherit the throne.

"According to your instructions, the city government formed a special aftermath team to fully cooperate with the hospital in rescuing the injured and at the same time send cadres to do door-to-door work. At present, the emotions of the families of the deceased and the injured are relatively stable. Next, we..." Just as Li Shuqun started to speak, suddenly there was a commotion among the people nearby, and the onlookers voluntarily gave way to a passage. Seven or eight men, women and children rushed forward. The leader, an old woman, walked forward with a dull expression on her face, holding a child in mourning.

The accompanying plainclothes wanted to stop them, but Zhao Jianhui had already noticed the changes around him and turned around to look over: "Let them come over!" Zhao Jianhui said coldly and took the initiative to greet them. The report was interrupted.

Maybe she had dried up her tears. When the old woman faced Zhao Jianhui, there were still tears on her face, but there were no tears anymore. She looked at Zhao Jianhui coldly and asked loudly: "I heard that you are the leader of the provincial party committee?"

"Yes, I am the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and the acting governor. If you have anything to say, you can say it in front of everyone." Zhao Jianhui could feel the distrust in the old woman's eyes and the coldness in the eyes of the surrounding people.

"They say officials protect each other, can I believe you?" The old woman said with a sneer of distrust on her lips. The trapped people were in an uproar at this time, seeming to express their admiration for the old woman, and even more so as to secretly praise her boldness.

Zhao Jianhui felt a sense of sadness, and the despair in the old woman's eyes was so clear. Zhao Jianhui turned around and glanced at the surrounding cadres with a cold gaze. When he turned back again, Zhao Jianhui showed a sincere expression, nodded with unusual certainty and said: "Yes!"

The woman looked at Zhao Jianhui calmly for a while, and her dull expression became more vivid. The rising and falling chest showed the old woman's mood at this time. "Dazhi, come and kneel down for this uncle! He is a big leader from the province. Please ask uncle to clear your father's wrongdoing." The old woman said, looking at her with eyes that were still distrustful and a bit like a general. Zhao Jianhui's reaction.

The child obediently knelt down in front of Zhao Jianhui. Zhao Jianhui, who was about to reach out to help him, did not do so. In front of everyone, he calmly accepted the child's kowtow and then stepped forward and reached out to help the child up.

He looked up at the old woman and said in a low voice: "Aunt, I accept the child's kowtow. Now you can tell me anything you want!"

The old woman raised her finger and pointed at Cao Youfu, who was wearing casual clothes and hiding far away in the crowd: "It's him, he killed my son. He is the director of the Beiyuan City Public Security Bureau, and he and Yang Dali are sworn brothers. Brother, do you dare to interfere with his affairs..."

Cao Youfu's face turned pale, and he hid behind people and kept shrinking back.

"Director of the Beiyuan City Public Security Bureau? I remember that the director is Shang Guomin, right?..." Zhao Jianhui glanced at Yuan Gang behind him, and Yuan Gang quickly walked over and whispered: "Shang Guomin is the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and also the director, Director Cao He is the executive, presiding over the work of the Public Security Bureau..."

As soon as he explained it like this, Zhao Jianhui understood immediately. It seems that this Director Cao is relatively strong, and people only know that Director Cao is there but not the people who are Shang. Zhao Jianhui glanced into the crowd and shouted loudly: "Director Cao, come here..."

"You... Ma Aihua, don't talk nonsense. Your son fell into the river and drowned. There is a conclusion..." Cao Youfu pointed at the old woman and said.

"Director Cao, why are you nervous? The matter has not been investigated yet. You can also talk about the situation." Zhao Jianhui looked at him coldly and said. "Governor Zhao, she...her son fell into the river and drowned. This has been concluded for a long time. What does she mean by bringing it up now? Everyone in our bureau knows this. And... Secretary Yuan, Mayor Li, and Mayor Cheng also know..."

Cheng Mingxiu's expression changed and he shouted coldly: "Cao Youfu, Governor Zhao is asking you what exactly is going on. Why are you talking nonsense?"

Cao Youfu suddenly turned pale: "Mayor Cheng, I...I...you knew about Wang Guangxiao's case at the time. It's been two years, what else can I say..."

Zhao Jianhui stared at him, then slowly turned around, looked around, and said loudly to the people around him: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I know everyone is watching me and how I will deal with these days. What happened in Beiyuan over the past year. Standing here today, I don’t want to say anything sad! What I want to say is that everyone can express their grievances here today. After finishing speaking, please give me some time. We need to investigate. If the situation is true and the local government cannot solve it in time, I will suggest that the provincial party committee should not tolerate specific personnel, investigate what should be investigated, and handle what should be handled. Everyone here today is a witness. If I break my promise in the future, I will resign. I will no longer be this useless official who can't do what he says or can't do what he says."

After that, Zhao Jianhui turned to Yuan Gang and said: "Call the people from the Petition Office and ask them to move a few tables and place them at the door. Today I am sitting here with everyone, watching them working on the spot, and I can only listen to the voices of the masses." , we can truly solve the practical problems of the masses.”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Jianhui shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, can I do this with you, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor?" The crowd shouted in confusion: "No problem.", "Who knows, it depends on you. What you do in the end counts..."

"Did you hear that? Comrade Yuan Gang, when did the people start distrusting us officials? If the people no longer trust us, they no longer trust our government. If our government If we can no longer be trusted, then this society will lose its credibility. What should I do in order not to lose the people’s trust in us?”

He looked at the cadres surrounding him, nodded, and replied to himself: "Seeking truth, pragmatism, fairness, and justness. These are not slogans painted on the wall. They are meant to be done in a down-to-earth manner. Only we can change our style." , Only by serving the people sincerely can we gain the support of the people..."

"It's easy to say it, but is it really okay to do it?" Yuan Gang cursed in his heart, but he had to send someone to call the petition office to come over quickly. There is nothing that can be done about crushing people to death at the official level.

"What kind of person is this man?" Cheng Mingxiu suddenly felt a little confused, because she could see that Zhao Jianhui was definitely not just going through the motions and talking empty words.

Li Shuqun felt secretly panicked, just setting up a table and letting people complain to the government? So why don't you do everything? What on earth is Governor Zhao going to do? Now that he is just the acting governor, doesn't he consider that he has offended too many people and will not be able to pass the National People's Congress vote? That would be a shame for adults.

However, the development of things was beyond everyone's expectation. When Zhao Jianhui put on his posture, the eyes of the crowd had quietly changed. The people who reported the problem consciously lined up in a long queue. At the front of the queue was the old woman just now, Wang Guangxiao's old mother.

The staff of the city, district, and town petition offices who were present had one desk per person and recorded all the questions.

I originally thought it would take a lot of time and encounter a lot of trivial things. However, members of the Municipal Standing Committee, including Zhao Jianhui, soon discovered that things were unexpected again. The situation reported by the masses was all about Cao Youfu. There was no response from the crowd to any of the unrelated questions. Within two hours, there was no one at the table.

Hua Lei and another male reporter from the provincial station were busy shooting at the scene. Groups of shots faithfully recorded the scene. The reporter from the Beiyuan City TV Station stood outside the crowd and was a little dumbfounded. They didn't know whether to film this kind of scene or not. Even if it was filmed, whether it could be broadcast was another matter.

Don't make political mistakes at this time, or you may lose your job. Their stupidity was in sharp contrast to the busyness of Huayei and others.

After Zhao Jianhui, who was receiving the crowd, answered a phone call, he suddenly waved over to Li Nan, who was sitting not far from him. Before Zhao Jianhui could say what he wanted to arrange, Li Nan whispered in Zhao Jianhui's ear: "Governor Zhao, I'm sorry. Beiyuan City reported it several times to want Cao Youfu to be the director, but he was rejected. I pushed back. But Cao Youfu has taken control of the entire public security bureau. In the past two days, we have been hindered by him in handling cases. Even Shang Guomin’s words are not listened to by many people..."

Only then did Zhao Jianhui understand why all the people today were talking about cases related to Cao Youfu. This Li Nan actually dares to use himself as a gunman?

If Li Nan didn't take the initiative to admit that there were elements of her planning in this today, Zhao Jianhui would really feel resentful if he found out about it in the future. But Li Nan was able to take the initiative to speak out at this time. Zhao Jianhui glanced at him and whispered: "I know, the main culprit of the explosion has been caught, and there is another case that needs you, Monk Guomin, to handle now. , you contact Sun Liyun, just now someone actually tried to snatch Yang Xiaoli away from them, they arrested a few people, they may be a gang, you take over, you must uproot them.
