Chapter 17 no mercy

At 6 o'clock in the morning, just after dawn, Hou Weidong's cell phone began to roar.Yan Dali's voice came to my ears: "Hou Zhen, the father of Jiushe Wang Mazi passed away. Their family was secretly buried last night. What do you think?" Zhao Yongsheng, Su Ming, Hou Weidong, Liu Kun, Tang Shugang, Su Yajun, Ouyang Lin, and Fu Jiang came to the small conference room as soon as they got the news.After listening to the report on the situation in Hongba Village, Zhao Yongsheng said: "Mayor Hou is the leader in charge of the Social Affairs Office and the contact leader of Hongba Village. You have full authority to handle the affairs of Hongba Village. I only have one request. The three-pointed axe must be tough and set an example. If it softens, there will be more troubles in the future.”

Su Ming's attitude was also very clear, saying: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. I am determined to dig out the body. If I don't dig it out today, everyone will be buried at night in the future, and the funeral reform will become a dead letter." Seeing Hou Weidong's desperation, Liu Kun thought to himself: "Hou Weidong is unlucky this time. He is in charge of this difficult job. It is his duty to do it well. If something goes wrong, he must take the leadership responsibility." In contrast, The deputy secretary is ranked first, and there are many opportunities for promotion, but the responsibility is not too great.

Hou Weidong really felt the pressure of work.People in Lingxi always think that it is safe to burrow into the soil, but it is hard to bear to be dug up after being buried in the soil.But there is no other way than to dig it up.He secretly said: "Today is not lucky, if this family has money, there will be no such bad things as digging up." He reassured himself again: "Since this family can't borrow five thousand yuan, it means that the popularity is average, and there won't be too much resistance." Having figured this out, Hou Weidong said resolutely: "Secretary Zhao, Mayor Su, I have made up my mind that no matter how difficult the situation is, the corpse must be dug up."

Zhao Yongsheng knew the difficulty of the matter, so he called Qin Gang and said, "Director Qin, you worked hard yesterday. Haha, you are more intimidating than the government officials. I want you to come out today. Another one died in Hongba Village. people." I don't know what Director Qin said on the phone, Zhao Yongsheng stopped smiling, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay, this matter is on me." Putting down the phone, Zhao Yongsheng told Hou Weidong, "I've made an appointment with Chief Qin, and the police station will be dispatched today. When you're on the scene, try to rely on Chief Qin. In a word, you have to do things well and don't hurt anyone."

"Director Ouyang, please issue a notice immediately. Only one person will be left on duty in each office, and everyone else will follow Mayor Hou to Hongba Village." "Mayor Tang, go and help Hou Weidong." Tang Shugang said in embarrassment: "The Safety Supervision Bureau will come to inspect this afternoon, and I'm going to participate." After the last accident, the Work Safety Supervision Bureau ordered all quarries to stop work for rectification, and only resume work after passing the inspection. This is also a major event.The other deputy mayor, Zhong Ruihua, held a meeting in the county, and the only deputy was Liu Kun, the deputy secretary.Zhao Yongsheng clicked on Liu Kun's name and said, "Secretary Liu will go to Hongba Village with Mayor Hou. You are responsible for doing ideological work well."

Zeng Qiang walked in from the door and said to the leaders present: "I have already contacted Section Chief Li of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the corpse recovery team of the Civil Affairs Bureau has come out." The situation is pressing, and the arrow is on the string and has to be launched. Su Ming refueled Hou Weidong, saying: "Hou Zhen, you have to get rid of your scruples. We are implementing the No. 6 order of the county government and performing official duties. The truth is in our hands, and the villagers can't make big waves. Just pay attention to the scene. Control and minimize conflicts as much as possible.”

Hou Weidong knew that he couldn't back down, so he began to arrange work, saying: "Director Su, you take a few people to Hongba Village first to do the ideological work of the parties concerned. I will bring the cadres of the agency and then arrive. Director Zeng is here waiting for the Civil Affairs Bureau people. "Fu Jiang, you organize the cadres of the village community and do a good job of differentiation and persuasion." After explaining some specific things, Su Yajun, Fu Jiang, Cheng Yilin and others went to Hongba Village first.Afterwards, Hou Weidong stood in the compound of the organization to organize the cadres of the organization, and Yang Feng took the roll call and called the names loudly.

After the four official policemen and three joint defense officers arrived at the police station, a team of more than forty people rushed to Hongba Village. Compared with Li Mudun's family, the family involved in Hongba Village seems to have a lot of people.The small courtyard was full of people, some were reasoning, some were being playful, performing in front of town and village officials in turn.When Hou Weidong entered the room, Su Yajun's voice was already hoarse, and Yan Dali was sweating, and he kept helping.But judging from their faces, it was obvious that the parties were not persuaded.

After the big team arrived, Yang Feng and several other lesbians used their sharp-tongued skills to squeeze into the client's yard and started a spat with the client's relatives. The policy has been read out countless times, and now there is really no point in arguing.Hou Weidong didn't say much, he stood in the courtyard, waiting for the corpse team organized by the Civil Affairs Bureau. Last night, living in the empty bungalow of the grain station, thinking of the strands of hair fluttering in the wind on the wooden boards, he felt a little palpitated.Family planning and funeral reform, these two issues concerning life and death are both basic state policies. According to fashionable words, these are things that benefit the present and benefit the future.But when such a great thing reaches the grassroots level and needs to face up to conflicts, it is extremely difficult to deal with, and the degree of difficulty is beyond comprehension for the study cadres.

Hou Weidong thought to himself: "Many newspapers and magazines say that township cadres are bandits, but who can understand the difficulties of township cadres?" After the reform of the tax system, the county and township finances are divided into separate kitchens, and the township has great responsibility, little power, and weak financial resources.In order to maintain basic expenses, the township government attaches great importance to the overall planning of retention.The main job of the cadres stationed in the village is to collect money. Because of this working relationship, most of the cadres stationed in the village have a bad relationship with the commune members.

Amidst all the noise, the corpse recovery team from the Civil Affairs Bureau finally arrived.The corpse recovery team is not a regular team either, it was temporarily formed by the Civil Affairs Bureau for funeral reform, and its personnel came from migrant workers working in funeral parlors.The Civil Affairs Bureau gave them a preferential price, digging up a corpse from the ground, each subsidizing 100 yuan, and the local government also provided a matching subsidy of 100 yuan.That is to say, as long as they take a trip, each person can have an income of two hundred yuan, which is considered a high income in Yiyang. There must be brave men under the reward, not to mention that they themselves are engaged in this work in the funeral home.To others, opening the corpse is a great event, but to them it is just a piece of cake. After finding the client, Hou Weidong said with a firm attitude: "According to the No. 6 order of the Yiyang County Government, we will take compulsory measures. I hope you can cooperate." This remark naturally caused an uproar, and the family members of the parties were outraged.Hou Weidong ignored them and decisively directed the cadres to the burial site.The resistance encountered this time was far stronger than yesterday, and the government officials formed several rows to protect the corpse recovery team of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Most of the members of the Corpse Discovery Team were in their forties. They had a good time, first lit the paper money, and burned it around; then took a wine bottle, drank a couple of sips, and poured it on their hands and towels; then they picked up the hoe and shovel, and start digging. After the family members of the parties were blocked by a human wall composed of dozens of government officials, the two parties began to quarrel.After the sound of digging was heard inside the human wall, the family members of the parties became excited, and several people rushed up with poles and sticks. Qin Gang took Zhou Qiang and other policemen and joint defense personnel to stand outside, observing the development of the situation.When the two sides moved their fists, the police ignored them, but when the members of the commune used tools, the nature changed.Qin Gang rushed over with a few policemen and cursed loudly: "Put the things down!" The police uniform represents the violent state machine, and the villagers still have scruples.However, as the situation became chaotic, the villagers ignored the police, waving poles and sticks randomly, and the scene was in chaos. During the scuffle, Hou Weidong was punched in the face, and a burst of gold stars flashed, his face was wet and hot.He was furious, and taking advantage of the chaos, he kicked the ass of a big black guy with the most vicious name.He kicked hard, and the big black man was pulling Zeng Qiang, and he was kicked forward, bringing Zeng Qiang to the ground. In the end, the cadres of the town government broke through the siege of the villagers, forcibly lifted the body out of the ground, and everyone retreated towards the town government. Seeing the chaos, Yan Daoli stood on the slope and scolded angrily.He scolded both the parties and the town government, and finally scolded Hou Weidong to the point of blood. A woman scratched Qin Gang's face with a bloody mark.All the May 4th pistols were sent out. He didn't dare to bring them out in this situation, but he just brought an electric baton with him.After his face was scratched, he took out the electric baton, and the strong electric current made a crackling sound, but it was only a threat, and he didn't really do anything.And a member of the joint defense team held a glue stick in his hand. He was an armed police officer who had just retired from the army. The corpse recovery team carried a stretcher and fled away under the protection of government officials. Seeing that the person was being carried away, the family members of the person involved gradually stopped in their tracks and cursed at the backs of the government officials. Back to the town government, it was already close to 1:00.In May, the weather is already hot, and the temperature is close to 30 degrees at noon.Many people walked into the big courtyard of the town government with their shirts off and saw some mineral water at the gate. When eating lunch, many people have scars on their faces.Hou Weidong's eyebrows were cut near the bridge of his nose. After being dealt with by the infirmary, it was like a clown who had a white nose.When he appeared in the food group, everyone looked at him and laughed. Cheng Yilin returned to the office and made a list of those who participated in the Hongba Village operation.After receiving the money from the financial office, we went to the food group. Everyone signed to collect the money, and drank and ate. After dinner, Hou Weidong returned to the office, feeling uneasy: "Buying the earth for safety is a custom that has existed for thousands of years. It is not easy to get rid of it in a short period of time. If it goes on like this, something may happen one day." But if we don't do this, funeral reform is just empty talk.After Hou Weidong joined the work, although he encountered many difficulties, nothing made him bear such great pressure. Just after dealing with the late-night burial incident in Hongba Village, there was another family in Shangqinglin who wanted to be buried without paying.It's just that Qin Dajiang went to work, and the family has not been buried for the time being.Hou Weidong took people up to do the work, and promised the son of the family to work in Goubeiwan. Only then did he persuade the client and completed the task of cremating a corpse. When going down the mountain, Hou Weidong was so tired that he sat in the car and said only one sentence: "Three people died in two days, and no one was allowed to live." Su Yajun in the car was also heartbroken: "In the past three days, the labor and food expenses alone have cost tens of thousands, and the social affairs office will not be able to survive the second half of the year." Qinglin Town has a population of nearly 30,000. From the perspective of probability, there is life and death every day, family planning must be grasped, and funeral reforms must continue to be promoted.
