Chapter 25 twenty-three

When Xia Zhongmin and his party arrived at Lishui Town, it was just after twelve o'clock. Although the rain was still pouring down, there were five or six thousand villagers standing quietly in the rain on the huge square in front of the town government office building! The villagers automatically moved out of the way, and Xia Zhongmin slowly walked through the crowd in the rain. I remembered!Isn't this Li Heiwa?One of the first farmers in Lishui Town to get rich.His family took the lead in contracting a barren ditch in Xinzui Village, and it took nearly twelve years to manage this barren ditch into a well-known small watershed.However, just after benefiting from the debt, the village and town leaders suddenly wanted to void the original 30-year contract.His family appealed everywhere, but were detained several times by the town police station, causing the family to almost go bankrupt.After he heard the news, he came down to check it himself, and then held a special on-site meeting, emphasizing that the contracts signed between the village collective and farmers in the past are not allowed to be abolished!

"Old Li, why are you here?" Li Heiwa burst into tears immediately, "I really can't live on..." Xia Zhongmin was surprised again, "Isn't your ditch still contracted?" Li Heiwa couldn't tell the difference between rain and tears on her face, "In the past, an acre of land cost one hundred and ten yuan, but now the tax and fee add up to more than two hundred yuan. Calculated according to this, even in the best year, I have to post a few Ten thousand yuan." ... Isn't this Qi Guizhi from Qijiazhuang?The sticky cakes she made are famous far and wide.Usually relying on this skill, the life of the family is better than others.

"Secretary Xia, these days, the villagers dare not come out one by one! There are fewer people, and if those security guards see it, they will be arrested. Secretary Xia, it is really not easy for the villagers to see you ah!" Qi Guizhi's thin voice was nothing more than a thunderclap, which shocked Xia Zhongmin again.What else can I say? What kind of woman Qi Guizhi used to be! When Xia Zhongmin first came to Dianjiang, he was in charge of letters and visits.After solving batches of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases for a long time, he met Qi Guizhi who had been wronged for nearly eight years!

What Qi Guizhi reported to him was a vicious case that happened eight years ago.Eight years ago, at a gathering in a nearby village, when Qi Guizhi's family was selling sticky cakes, they refused to accept the evil demands of a group of local village tyrants.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a few gangsters held iron picks and smashed their heads and faces.Qi Guizhi's husband was hit on the head twice and died on the spot.Uncle Qi Guizhi's spine was hit by a pick, causing permanent high paraplegia, and sister-in-law Qi Guizhi was injured in the chest and head, and died two years later.Qi Guizhi was beaten until his left leg was broken.Three months later, Qi Guizhi, who was still on crutches, began her long and humiliating journey to redress her grievances.It is incomprehensible and unbelievable that the six suspects have been at large in broad daylight and outside the sanction of the law.

In order to wash away her grievances, she knelt on her knees for eight years!The longest kneeling time was when she knelt for eleven hours at the gate of the Dianjiang Letters and Calls Bureau! When Xia Zhongmin learned about the case, he angrily questioned the director of the letter and visit bureau who had been hiding the case from him, but the director of the letter and visit bureau surnamed Lu said lightly that it had been so long, how could there be any evidence? Xia Zhongmin was so angry that he cursed: "Something like you is simply the most inhuman official in the world!"

Xia Zhongmin wrote a line of instructions on Qi Guizhi's grievance letter with a trembling pen: Whoever delays this injustice case any longer will be the eternal sinner of the Communist Party!Immediately afterwards, Xia Zhongmin, together with the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee at the time and the director of the Dianjiang Public Security Bureau, called the leaders of the Jiangyin District Public Security Bureau and ordered them to investigate immediately and report every six hours.As a result, within three days, the case was solved, and none of the six murderers slipped through the net, and all were arrested and brought to justice.

However, when dealing with those government officials and public security personnel who procrastinated, they encountered greater resistance than solving the case.Liu Shibei, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee at the time, said to the Standing Committee with a sullen face, how could we get rid of so many leading cadres in order to solve a case? At that public sentencing meeting, Xia Zhongmin and Wang Jingdong tried their best to invite almost all the main leaders of the municipal party committee.After the public sentencing ended, a scene that no one expected shocked all the leaders.

From the front of the office building on site, the street to the outside of the office building, a large number of ordinary people fell to their knees!Qi Guizhi, who had been running around for eight full years, knelt there and wept uncontrollably, expressing his gratitude to Liu Shibei and to these leading cadres, big and small, very devoutly!Not long after he came back, Liu Shibei personally gave instructions and finally removed seven party and government cadres including the director of the Dianjiang Letters and Calls Bureau. Xia Zhongmin asked, "Didn't the medicinal materials in your Qijiazhuang grow very well? Haven't you had a good harvest for several years in a row?"

Qi Guizhi shook his head, "Actually, it's good for one year, and there is no income in the second year. The current village and town cadres, as soon as they see that the people have benefited, they will immediately engage in some kind of group, and then set up a department to specialize in acquisitions. In fact, it is price limit and price reduction. In the first year, a catty can be sold for ten or eight yuan, and in the second year, it becomes two or three yuan. Last year, some were sold for only a few cents per catty. You have to sell it yourself, and they They blocked all the roads again. There’s no other way, they’ve got all the benefits, and the masses really can’t make much money. If this continues, most of them will have to subsidize money this year…”

A middle-aged man next to him interjected, "Secretary Xia, they call it bullying. Secretary Xia, I am a party member and a demobilized soldier. In Qijiazhuang, I grow the best medicinal materials and earn the highest income. To tell you the truth, like me, the net income per mu of land last year was just over 100 yuan." Qi Guizhi grasped Xia Zhongmin's hand at this moment, "Secretary Xia, what they are telling is the truth, it is really the truth." Xia Zhongmin nodded again, "I understand, everyone is telling the truth, and I will tell everyone the truth later."
