Chapter 2 Chapter Two

The explosion was unusually loud. No one expected that it would ring under the court building. Shocking, ear-shattering, it can take your breath away. It can be described as thrilling! On this day, the Dongcheng District People's Court of Heyang City was solemn and solemn, and the solemn atmosphere enveloped everything. The "Leading Group for Building a Harmonious Society Work According to Law" jointly formed by the two urban people's congresses was reviewing the civilized law enforcement work of the Dongcheng District People's Court.At the end of last year, the Dongcheng District Court failed to pass the evaluation of conduct, and was given a yellow card by the two levels of the city. Now the time for rectification has come. If it still fails to pass the evaluation this time, the Dongcheng District Court will have to change its team.

The venue for the review meeting is located in the multi-functional conference hall on the fifth floor.Early in the morning, the court staff were busy upstairs and downstairs. Sanitation had to be cleaned, corridors had to be cleaned again, balloons had to be enlarged at the door, and bright red banners had to be hung.After all the busy work was over, the leaders of the two levels of the city and the representatives of the National People's Congress had already arrived at the meeting one after another.The dean Zuo Qiwei was extraordinarily energetic this day. Although the weather was sweltering, he was still dressed in suits and leather shoes, and he did not dare to be sloppy at all.Her hair had just been washed and dyed at Vigers Barber Shop the day before, and her face had a Thai facial, and the lost luster seemed to have returned.Xu Yanrong, the chief judge of the Second Civil Tribunal, jokingly said: "The dean looks radiant today, just like being a groom." Zuo Qiwei looked at the corridor and saw a staff member standing not far away, so he whispered: "Be serious, today I don't dare to make jokes." Xu Yanrong was annoyed, but she didn't feel uncomfortable, she smiled slightly, and went to the conference hall.

Zuo Qiwei looked at Xu Yanrong's back, and secretly sighed in his heart: women are different from women, this Xu Yanrong can make men desire at any time.Hearing the sound of footsteps downstairs, he hurriedly put away his wild thoughts and headed solemnly to the conference hall. The moment he entered the conference hall, Zuo Qiwei suddenly thought, should there be a post downstairs?Just as I was about to tell the director of the office about this, I thought about it again. Now that we are building a harmonious society, and setting up posts randomly during the review meeting, will it appear that I have a guilty conscience and let others make use of it?Hearing that the procuratorate was deliberating, Qiao Guodong severely criticized him for setting up a post.

It was later proved that Zuo Qiwei's idea was really wrong, because of his small mistake, Lao Kui took advantage of the loophole, and Lao Kui actually drove straight into the venue without any hindrance.Of course, this is the thinking of Zuo Qiwei and others. As for the truth, Zuo Qiwei may not know for the rest of his life. The meeting was held on time, and just after 8:30, the host announced the opening of the meeting. Zuo Qiwei cleared his throat and began to report to the meeting. At this time, Lao Kui just jumped off the bus. Lao Kui rushed to the city by Sanmazi. It was too early and the long-distance bus hadn't started on the road yet. Afraid of delay, Lao Kui hired Sanmazi last night.Originally, Lao Kui wanted Sanmazi to send him directly to the court, but then he thought about doing things by himself and not hurting others. As soon as Sanmazi entered the city, he came down yelling.Wang Shiwa, who drove three yards, also said: "I'll wait for you at the bridgehead, hurry up and come back when you're done." Lao Kui smiled in his heart, you don't have to wait, and you won't be able to.

On this day, Lao Kui was completely different from usual. Although he was still wearing the same dirty clothes and the same pair of broken rubber shoes with rotten fingers on his feet, he was really different from usual.The way they walk, the way they speak, and the way they look at people are all different.How should I put it, Lao Kui suddenly had an aura that people like Wang Shiwa can't see. If he could, Wang Shiwa wouldn't drag him into the city, just tie him up and hand him over to the police. .Lao Kui jumped off the bus and straightened his waist. This action can tell that Lao Kui is different.When walking before, his waist was always arched, almost like a hunchback, and his head was always hooked. He had never been seen striding forward.Not today, he straightened his waist a few times in a row, straightened his waist that was usually too stretched, and then strode towards the court.

When Lao Kui came to the court today, it was the last time he approached Zuo Qiwei. If he couldn't get an explanation today, he wouldn't ask for it.I didn't ask for it, and I have been asking for it for nearly two years. The land was barren, the house was sold, and the family owed a lot of debts. It would be meaningless to ask for it again.Lao Kui's matter was boring in the first place. If he had known that the court would be like this, he should not have nodded so easily and cremated his son Xiao Kui. "Damn bastard, what you say doesn't count!" Thinking about this, Lao Kui was about to faint, but Lao Kui couldn't faint. Today he is doing something big, something Heyang people have never done before. He wants the people of Heyang to remember that he, Lao Kui, is also a human being, and he was raised by his father and mother. If he is a human being, he must act in accordance with human etiquette. If you don’t act in accordance with human etiquette, don’t blame me, Lao Kui. Don't treat you as a human being!

Lao Kui took a sip, and this sip showed that he was different today.On weekdays, Lao Kui is a master who knocks out his teeth and swallows his stomach. When he encounters many difficulties and injustices, he dare not complain. If his son Xiao Kui died for no reason, if the court did not treat him like a monkey Go ahead, Lao Kui will not change.He will still insist on the principle of knocking out teeth and swallowing them in his stomach. In fact, this is not a principle. Farmers live like this, and it is left by the old ancestors and cannot be changed. The morning sun was very bright, and the very bright sun shone on Lao Kui's dilapidated body. The sun shone on his body, and even illuminated Lao Kui's hall.The moment he walked into the gate of the court, Lao Kui was a little nervous, and his legs seemed to shake a few times.It's nonsense not to be nervous, what kind of court is, people in the city are afraid of dealing with the court, farmers are even more afraid.Every time Lao Kui walked into the gate, his legs would shake a few times. Today it was fine, but Lao Kui controlled the shaking just now.Mother's Day, when is it, are you still shaking?Lao Kui scolded his legs, and stretched out his eyes to take a look in. This look almost made Lao Kui shrink back.Mom, there are so many cars, all of which are high-end cars, how many big leaders should there be in them?Thinking of this, Lao Kui couldn't help but back up, and was about to exit the door, when Lao Kui suddenly remembered his purpose for coming here today.With this note, Lao Kui is not afraid anymore.On Mother's Day, the big leader was also raised by his father and mother, and he can be seen by others. Didn't he run around in the past two years just to get an explanation from the big leader?The words of the big leaders are always stronger than the words of the small leaders, and they must work.Good day, today all the big leaders are gathered, and it is up to him not to give an explanation if his surname is Zuo!

Lao Kui strengthened his courage and encouraged himself, then raised his legs again and walked inside.On the way, Lao Kui still thought, the gate of this court is not easy to enter today, there must be three posts and five posts, so I will give you a strict check.Unexpectedly, there was no post at the gate, really not.There were people walking back and forth in the courtyard, but Lao Kui recognized these people. They were drivers and waited on the leader. Whenever the leader had a meeting, they would get together to make a fuss about the leader's life. "Life" is a new word. Lao Kui didn't know it before, but he has been petitioning for two years, and he has been running to the public place.It has nothing to do with him if he knows, the life of the leader has nothing to do with him, at most he just listens to it, to paint some color on his gray heart.As for those rare and weird things in life, Lao Kui would forget them and never take them to heart.It's like standing in the mule and horse market and listening to the dealers discussing prices. If the price of mules goes up, it's the mule's business. If the price of cattle falls, it's the cattle's business. It has nothing to do with him, Lao Kui.He, Lao Kui, just wanted to kill his son Xiao Kui!

Lao Kui continued to walk in, and the moment he entered the cave, a bailiff came towards him and gave a hello.Lao Kui was startled, thinking that he might be recognized by others!In the past two years, he has walked back and forth in the courthouse with his family, and he knows many bailiffs, and there are also many bailiffs who know him. If they happen to meet, it will be a disaster.Lao Kui was startled, but saw the bailiff leave him and go to the other side.It turned out that the bailiff did not feed him, but a driver far away.Lao Kui heaved a sigh of relief, took two steps in three steps, and got into the hole in the building.

As soon as he got into the cave, Lao Kui was no longer afraid. He came up with an experience in petitioning, no matter how arrogant the unit is, the most difficult to enter is the gate, the hurdle at the gate is not easy to pass, once you pass, you have 80% hope for this trip.Furthermore, you can't be blocked in the courtyard, and if you are blocked in the courtyard, it means that you still haven't entered the gate, and you have to go where you came from.As long as you pass these two hurdles and enter the cave, you can rest assured that no matter how unruly you are, they won't dare to do anything to you.Thinking of this, Lao Kui smiled.Lao Kui can still laugh today, which shows that Lao Kui is fully prepared.

It turned out afterwards that Lao Kui was indeed fully prepared. The corridor is very quiet, how can you not be quiet for such a grand meeting?Quietness means unimpeded, quietness means safety, and quietness means that Lao Kui can walk upstairs with great strides.Lao Kui smiled again, this time he laughed at himself, since he made this decision, he has been worried, how can he get into the court?How can I stand in front of Zuo Qiwei smoothly?Now it seems that my worry is really superfluous, none of the obstacles that I imagined before have appeared, and the coping methods that I have planned in my mind are naturally superfluous.He tightened his belt, which was a habitual action. Whenever he felt relaxed, Lao Kui always tightened his belt, as if his vigilance was tied on the belt.Then he touched his chest again. The movement of touching the chest is very important. Lao Kui didn't have this movement before, but now he has it. After walking a few steps, he should touch the chest cautiously. People can't see that they are touching the chest, it seems that they are pulling a dirty rice grain on the chest.Lao Kui touched it, and felt that the thing was still tightly tied to his body, and it hadn't moved at all, so Lao Kui was completely relieved. Lao Kui called Xiao Kui in his heart, and with a light palm, pushed open the door of the conference hall. The atmosphere in the conference hall was solemn, with the national emblem, the red flag on the stage, and the eight shining characters of "enforce the law impartially, and do everything for the people". In front of the leaders, there were flowers, fruits, and mineral water.Lao Kui drank that mineral water, and it was given to him quietly by a young girl from the court during a petition.Since then, Lao Kui has remembered the girl, and remembered the clear, sweet and moist mineral water that is more soothing than the mountain spring.In the corner of the rostrum, Zuo Qiwei, the president of the Dongcheng District Court, was giving a speech. His voice was loud and full of the majesty of the law.Lao Kui glanced at Zuo Qiwei, he was so familiar with this face, how many times he was awakened by this face in his dreams.How many times again, facing this face, he almost broke down in tears.It's all right now, he doesn't have to be humble to this face anymore, he wants to let this face understand that he, Lao Kui, is also a man of blood, and when it comes to risking his life, he dares to risk his life just as much.Yes, risk your life!Thinking of this, Lao Kui entered the conference hall without fear. To say that this day is also strange, Lao Kui broke into the venue suddenly, but no one noticed.If someone stopped him at this time, Old Kuixing might stop too.But no one stopped them. People were too focused and their eyes were fixed on the rostrum.The little judge at the door saw him, but he only took one look, and then looked away again.Lao Kui tightened his belt again and began to walk towards the rostrum. This process was quite difficult and long. Although it was only a few minutes, Lao Kui walked almost with the strength of his whole life.Fortunately, no one stopped him during this process. People turned a blind eye to his rash intrusion, and they didn't care about him like air.In this way, Lao Kui's steps became calmer, really calm.If he hadn't accidentally knocked over a thermos bottle when he was going in front of Zuo Qiwei, Zuo Qiwei might not be able to find him. Zuo Qi raised his head violently, and stared at Lao Kui in surprise: "You...how did you come in?" "Let me ask you, does what you say count?" Lao Kui thought about this last night, and said it several times on the road today, so it seems very fluent when he said it.Not only did he speak fluently, but Lao Kui also stared at Zuo Qiwei with a look he had never seen before. There was a commotion on the stage, and no one expected that Heyang's most stubborn petitioner would break into the conference hall at this time.The host wanted to scold something, but was blocked by the leader next to him, and everyone focused their eyes on this tattered farmer. The audience seemed to be calmer than the one on stage, but someone still exclaimed: "My God, he really came!" "What did I say? Ah, what did you say?" Zuo Qiwei, who had been speaking fluently and confidently just now, suddenly became confused, and subconsciously looked towards the center of the rostrum. Chen Muchuan, who was seated in the middle of the rostrum, turned black. This scene was too exciting, but for a moment, he didn't know how to face this sudden scene. "What? My son's life, will I pay for it?!" Lao Kui's voice rose sharply. "Old Kui, don't mess around, we have a meeting today, come back tomorrow." "Tomorrow? Surnamed Zuo, from the time my son died to today, how many tomorrows have you said? Ah!" This was improvised by Lao Kui. The word "tomorrow" is really too sensitive to him. "Old Kui, don't be unreasonable. If you are told to go back, you can go back. This is the conference hall, not a place where you mess around." Zuo Qiwei tried his best to calm himself down. He had to be calm in this situation.He glanced at the audience: "Director Su, take him to the duty room!" The person named Director Su also had a frightened expression on his face. When the dean called his name, he stood up a little uncomfortable. He wanted to go on stage, but he hesitated as if he was afraid of something.At this time, Chen Muchuan, who had been keeping a cold face, said: "What a shame! The first-level court is so dignified that anyone who wants to enter can enter! Take him back for me and continue the meeting!" "Go back? Go back if you say go back?" Lao Kui suddenly turned his eyes and stared at Chen Muchuan. Chen Muchuan was enraged. This is a majestic court, a solemn and sacred place, how could a farmer be allowed to act wild!He slammed the table down: "Put him down!" Just as the mayor, Zhou Yican, was about to stop him, Chen Muchuan had already yelled out the words. Zhou Yican secretly said that his voice was not good, and looked at Lao Kui nervously. As soon as Chen Muchuan got angry, someone came up to Director Su first, trying to pull Lao Kui out.At this time, an accident happened, and Lao Kui suddenly opened his clothes: "No one touches me, if an old man can't get an explanation today, he will die!" Zhou Yichan was surprised to find that Lao Kui had something tied up on his body!In desperation, she rushed to the stage and shouted: "Don't mess around, listen to the command!" The meeting place fell silent, extremely quiet, everyone held their breath, and the atmosphere suddenly became gloomy.From the faces of Zhou Yican and Chen Muchuan, people could see a fear, this fear was not pretended, but really came from the heart.Especially Chen Muchuan was already trembling vigorously.Lao Kui, who opened his skirt, was facing Chen Muchuan. Chen Muchuan could see what was tied to Lao Kui's body most clearly. "Explode... dynamite!" Chen Muchuan said in panic. Old Kui laughed twice: "It's a good thing you still have eyes, so you can see." "Old Kui, don't act recklessly!" Zhou Yican suddenly stood up without knowing where the courage came from, and wanted to jump in front of Lao Kui.Director Da Huang, who was sitting next to her, grabbed her and said, "Mayor, don't take risks." Lao Kui recognized Zhou Yican, and even Director Huang.For his son Xiaokui, Lao Kui has searched for everything he should and should not have.But everywhere he went, almost without exception, he hit a wall.He still remembers how Director Huang used to prevaricate and coax him time and time again. "You're scared too, aren't you? I thought we were the only ones who were afraid of death, but you officials are even more afraid." Lao Kui mocked Director Huang, and slowly approached Chen Muchuan.The moment he entered the door, Lao Kui made up his mind that if he wanted to really blow up today, he would first blow up Gou Ri's Chen wooden boat! "Old Kui!" Zhou Yican yelled again. Lao Kui didn't seem to hear it, his target was already set on Chen Muchuan, maybe because Zhou Yican was a woman, Lao Kui didn't have much trouble with Zhou Yican this day. Chen Muchuan was terrified: "You...what do you want to do?" He shrank back and said with a trembling voice.In just a few seconds, his face changed from black to white, from white to yellow, and then from yellow again... When Lao Kui approached him, his face was no longer recognizable. There was a commotion in the audience, and all eyes were on Lao Kui.Some people want to rush up. If they can really rush up at this time, it is definitely a chance to make meritorious service.But, who dares to rush up? "What are you still doing in a daze? Think of a solution!" the dean Zuo Qiwei shouted into the microphone. At this time, he knew that his dean had come to an end, and he would never have the opportunity to give a report on his work.Damn Lao Kui, you are so cruel—— No one dared to move.As soon as Zuo Qiwei's words fell to the ground, Lao Kui said the dead man's words: "The grievance has a leader, and the debt has a debtor. I don't want to blame you. You have no grievances or grudges with me. If you want to leave, just go out. But no one on the stage can leave, I just want to say one word today, should I pay for my baby's life?" "It should be paid, it should be paid, but Lao Kui, listen to me, Xiao Kui's matter is complicated, we are investigating..." Director Huang's face was covered with sweat, but he was a little stronger than Chen Muchuan, He also knows how to deal with Lao Kui with words. Zhou Yican was also shocked by the scene, stunned, and froze there, not knowing whether to take measures or not. Lao Kui became more determined: "Investigate? My baby has been dead for two years, and it has been one year, nine months and twenty-five days since she was cremated. What have you investigated for such a long time?" Lao Kui said, But his gaze never left Chen Muchuan for a moment.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Muchuan wanted to sneak behind others, but Lao Kui stretched out his hand suddenly and tore off his collar. "Do you want to hide? The surname is Chen, there is no chance. Today I will pull you on the back. Believe it or not, as soon as I move my hand, there will be a bang on this building, and it will be gone!" "Boom, it's gone." Lao Kui said it again. Chen Muchuan opened his mouth wide, he couldn't speak anything, he stared straight at Lao Kui's hand, for fear that if he got agitated, it would really make a noise. It would be terrible if it was sounded, Chen Muchuan seemed to have heard the earth-shattering explosion. The people on the stage were more startled than Chen Muchuan, they all froze on their chairs, not daring to move.Lao Kui's fingers slowly put into the rope buckle, then became bent, and then made a pulling posture.Everyone believed that once the rope was pulled, the building would disappear. Gone. The situation is quite dangerous. This day is the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which is called Ghost Festival among the people. According to customs, people are not allowed to go out on this day. When he received the call, Qin Xiyue and Lao Hu from the Sha County Sand Control Station were in Huyang Township.Qin Xiyue returned to Heyang three days ago. He accompanied his daughter and son-in-law to the provincial capital and stayed at home for a few days. Ouyang Moqian was anxious to go back. There was a sudden call over there, saying that there was something urgent, so I had to go back early.Qin Xiyue was anxious about matters in the desert, so he returned without daring to stay for a day. Another large piece of forest in Populus euphratica Township has died—dry ones. Since last year, the groundwater level has dropped sharply, and one-third of the wells cannot pump water.Coupled with the continuous attack of wind and sand, five forests and nearly 50,000 trees have died.If it dies at this rate, Qin Xiyue has the final say, within ten years, Sha County will become bare, and those so-called shelter forests and newborn forests will all become a legend, a legend that is too sad to mention . Holding a stack of sub-reports in his hand, Qin Xiyue got angry at Lao Hu and the others.He can't help it!As an old expert and a person with deep feelings for Sha County, when he saw these figures, his anger would burst out inexplicably.According to the data provided by the Sha County Bureau of Statistics, in the past five years, the annual tree planting area in Sha County has grown exponentially, and the per capita green area ranks first in the province.Qin Xiyue said it was like farting, stinky fart! "You do the math. According to the figures on the report, 80% of the area in Sha County has been greened. What about the trees? Let me ask you, what about the trees?" Lao Hu was so dumbfounded by the question that he couldn't speak.He also felt that the figure was unreal, very unreal, but he dared not tell it, nor did he dare to calculate it carefully with a report.He is a cadre in the county, and with the county salary, how could he doubt the figure set by the county magistrate's office?Qin Xiyue scolded him as a bastard, an idiot who couldn't even calculate such a simple math problem.Old Hu could only laugh, his way of dealing with Qin Xiyue was to laugh, to smile wryly.Qin Xiyue was enraged by his laughter, he became irritable, cursing swear words could no longer resolve the anger in his heart, he was about to jump up and vent his anger in a more brutal way, when Xiao Lin from the sand control station suddenly ran over and said in a panic: "It's not good! Lao Kui blew up the court!" "What?!" Qin Xiyue felt his legs go limp at the moment, and collapsed on the sand beam. Qin Xiyue, who was called Lao Kui, knew each other, not only knew him, but also took him with him. He went to find Chen Muchuan, the deputy director of the National People's Congress, and Qiao Guodong, the director. Later, seeing that it didn't work to find these two people, he took him with him. Lao Kui, go directly to Qiang Wei, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.That day Qiangwei was meeting a businessman from Jiangsu. He heard that this businessman was very good and had a lot of money in his hand, but he didn't know where to invest it and where to invest it to produce the benefits he expected.Qiang Wei took a lot of effort to connect with this merchant. When Qiang Wei saw Qin Xiyue, he frowned. He didn't welcome this expert. Many things in Heyang were caused by this expert, Qin Xiyue.This made Qiang Wei very passive, and he often charged forward by himself. Before the top of the mountain was captured, the base camp behind caught fire. Qin Xiyue must have set the fire.But because of Qin Xiyue's status, Qiang Wei had to meet him again.Qin Xiyue is not only the most famous sand control expert in the province, but also a representative of the Provincial People's Congress! For Qiang Wei, secretary of the municipal party committee, Qin Xiyue's second identity was far more terrifying than the first, and it was also more difficult to deal with.What's more, he thinks that Qin Xiyue is too extreme, not to mention being stubborn, but also likes to get into the wrong place, relying on himself as a representative of the Provincial People's Congress, and once joined the team in Sha County and was an educated youth, he always takes the affairs of the people of Sha County on his shoulders Come on, make trouble for him all year round! Qiang Wei's words were very good that day, he promised Qin Xiyue that he would solve Lao Kui's remaining problems within one month. "This matter can no longer be delayed. Regardless of whether there is a problem with the court, we must seriously investigate and deal with it. Don't worry, if the court can't give a reasonable explanation, I will give it to Qiangwei, and the Heyang Municipal Committee!" Qiang Wei Speaking of this, he turned to Lao Kui: "Go back, Lao Kui, don't pester Expert Qin all day long, Expert Qin is busy, and he has a lot of work to do, so you can come to me directly for this matter from now on." He wrote a number to Lao Kui, saying it was his mobile phone number, and if the problem could not be resolved within a month, he would ask Lao Kui to make this call. That day, Lao Kui was very excited. When he left the municipal committee compound, he was so excited that he almost knelt down to Qin Xiyue. "Expert Qin, no, representative Qin, if you hadn't brought me here, would I have met the secretary? Can I get his phone number? No way! How many times have I come to this municipal committee compound? Director, their attitude, hehehe, I can’t mention it. You’re the best, you’re the best..." Lao Kui said, tears rolled out of his eyes.Those tears are like the muddy water in the Yellow River, carrying too many things that are too turbid to bear to see. A month later, the matter was still put on hold, and Lao Kui went to the compound of the Municipal Party Committee again, and even the director of the Letters and Visits Office could not be seen.The phone was connected, but every time Lao Kui dialed, the other party said viciously: "You made a mistake!" As a result, Lao Kui spent more than ten yuan in the phone bill. Qin Xiyue knew that Lao Kui's problem had not been resolved so far. Not only had it not been resolved, but the court threatened that if he dared to continue suing for nothing, he would be punished, and at least he would be imprisoned for two years.God, much ado about nothing?Lao Kui is much ado about nothing! Qin Xiyue sat on the sand beam, thinking about it for a while, at this time Xiao Lin said again: "Mr. Qin, there is a call from the city, asking you to return to Heyang as soon as possible." "Why did you ask me to go back?" Qin Xiyue asked angrily. "The Municipal Party Committee Office said that Lao Kui would take off the explosives only if you went." "Untie the explosive bag?" Qin Xiyue was taken aback, "Didn't you say it was blown up?" "Not yet, Lao Kui was going to blow up, but Chief Xu was able to hold it steady." "Bastard!" Qin Xiyue cursed, turned up and walked down the sand beam.Lao Hu rushed up from behind and asked: "Old Qin, are you really going? This matter is pending!" Qin Xiyue ignored Lao Hu, his heart was already on fire.He knew Lao Kui's temper. The old man must have been pushed into a hurry. If he was not pushed, the old man would not be able to make it this far. As soon as we arrived at Shaliangzi, the small car from the township government had already driven over. Qin Xiyue jumped into the car and yelled at the driver, "Drive!" It was in the car that Qin Xiyue made the matter clear. It was the village head Cui who was sitting in the car who told him.Cui Xiangchang said that Lao Kui almost blew the explosives because Chen Muchuan called the Public Security Bureau in a hurry, but before he could say a word on the phone, Lao Kui yelled out a shocking sentence: " Mother's Day, you forced me to do it, and I can't blame me for blowing up all of them!" After shouting, he was about to pull the rope buckle hard, and at this critical moment, Zhou Yican suddenly jumped off the rostrum and gave Lao Kui a thump. He knelt down: "Old Kui, you can't do it! There are so many people in this room, think about it, there are all the old and the young. If you pull it, how many people will shed tears!" Zhou Yican's voice was full of sadness, and she made such a move completely subconsciously.At this time, she had already forgotten that she was the mayor, and she even forgot that in the past days, she also worked hard for Lao Kui's affairs, and even lost her temper on several occasions.All she knew was that Lao Kui couldn't pull that button. If he pulled it, the sky would collapse, and it would really collapse. "Old Kui..." she called out. Lao Kui slowly lowered his hand.It could be seen that he was moved by Zhou Yican's kneeling.A mayor, in front of everyone, knelt down for him, mother, knelt down for him.He glanced blankly at the venue, it was really dark and crowded.Lao Kui hesitated, he couldn't help but hesitate, these people, don't all have hatred against him—— The wrong has its head, and the debt has its owner. Farmers still believe in this saying. "Well, let them go out. I'm only looking for those on stage. Anyway, I don't want to live anymore." Lao Kui's voice had lost all confidence, or his confidence was disintegrated by Zhou Yichan. Only then did Zhou Yican raise his head and said, "You can go, but Lao Kui, listen to me, your son is gone, even if those bailiffs did it, you have to find out step by step, right? You bombed the chairman People on stage, can your son come back to life?" "I don't care, I want them to pay for my son's life!" "Okay, Lao Kui, you let them go, and I will pay for your son's life." No one expected that Zhou Yican would have such an amazing performance on this day.After saying this, she really got up and walked towards Lao Kui, and stretched out her hand, motioning for Lao Kui to tie her up with him. Lao Kui didn't expect Zhou Yican to do this, and he panicked all of a sudden.He stepped back timidly, making an indistinct voice: "You...you..." The atmosphere in the conference hall has eased a bit, and the situation that was at stake just now seems to have been eliminated.Zhou Yican took advantage of the situation and winked at Zuo Qiwei, signaling him to calm down and not act recklessly. "What happened later?" Qin Xiyue couldn't help asking. "I don't know what happened later. I didn't make it very clear on the phone. In short, it's troublesome. Secretary Qiang of the Municipal Party Committee said that you should hurry to Heyang to rule out the danger." As soon as he heard the order from Qiang Wei, Qin Xiyue became angry again, if it wasn't for the urgent matter, he really didn't want to go.Qiang Wei, Qiang Wei, you always say that I am extreme, that I am nosy, what about you?Shouldn't you be in charge of this?Is Xiaokui's case really that difficult to investigate?Even the secretary of the municipal party committee can't help you?Even if someone from above intervenes and exerts pressure, you can't just let it go, and you can't just write down the phone number of one of your subordinates and just make fun of Lao Kui.Although farmers are honest, if they are in a hurry, there are ways to get in a hurry!Qin Xiyue hated and complained, but kept urging the driver to drive faster.He thought that Qiang Wei asked him to go to the emergency, which proved that things were not too bad. But he couldn't figure it out, how could things have developed to this point?How dare Lao Kui tie up a pack of explosives and go bomb the court!too terrifying! After thinking about it again, it seems that I can figure it out again.Lao Kui, Lao Kui... Qin Xiyue couldn't stop calling this name in his heart. For Lao Kui, Qin Xiyue not only sympathized with him, but also complained for him.Lao Kui is an honest farmer, apart from being honest, he has no other characteristics.Think about it, if he is dishonest, can he put things aside until now?If he was dishonest, how could he have let the court cremate his son so smoothly?As a result, as soon as the body was cremated, the court turned its face and refused to admit it. It refused to admit that Xiao Kui was caused by their violent actions, let alone that they were responsible for this matter.The 20,000 yuan agreed to be given to Lao Kui before the cremation was even gone!That is a life!No, plus the Suan Guoer and his wife who died later, that is three lives, a living family!Who can bear it?It is not easy for Lao Kui to survive until today. The car was speeding on the road leading to Heyang, and Qin Xiyue was already filled with evil clouds and wars in his heart.It seems that something is really going to happen in Heyang, and Qiao Guodong is right: "Old Qin, Heyang is really dangerous now, if there is a turbulence anywhere, there will be big troubles." I don't know how many things have been caused by Lao Kui's bombing! In the Dongcheng District Court, the situation has been narrowed for a while.Originally, Zhou Yican's coming forward had shaken Lao Kui. If she hadn't been too anxious, Lao Kui might have gradually lost confidence.After all, the person who blows up this house is definitely not something that Lao Kui can do.To put it bluntly, when he came today, he still wanted to say that his son, Xiao Kui, should not die in vain.If someone stood up at this time, took some responsibility, or handed over the murderer who killed Xiaokui, the matter might be resolved.but no!With so many people on the rostrum, no one thought of this, or thought of it, but no one dared to stand up! During the stalemate, Zhou Yican signaled Zuo Qiwei again.What she meant was to let Zuo Qiwei express his opinion quickly, and first give Lao Kui a promise to resolve the crisis.Zuo Qiwei was so frightened that day, Zhou Yican gave him winks a few times, but he didn't respond.If it were normal, not to mention Zhou Yican, I'm afraid it was any leader with a higher position than him, as long as he moved his eyelids, he would be able to dream immediately, and let you think about everything he should and shouldn't think about.But today, he was completely stunned, numb, standing there like a zombie, which really drove Zhou Yican to death.In desperation, Zhou Yican had no choice but to take the risk, determined to remove the explosives from Lao Kui's body! When Zhou Yi was using this brain, another person was also working.Taking advantage of Lao Kui's attention being completely attracted by Zhou Yican, Xu Yanrong who was sitting in the audience quietly came up to the front row, very close to Lao Kui.Xu Yanrong discovered that Lao Kui's explosive bag was not tied scientifically. It is said that the explosive bag should be wrapped around the whole body, so any direction is very dangerous. .Lao Kui was obviously unprofessional in this aspect. He concentrated the explosive packs on his chest and tied them with a rope at the back.Xu Yanrong thought, if he could jump behind Lao Kui in one step, first use both hands to control his two arms to prevent him from moving, and then free his hand to untie the rope, then the explosive package could be removed in a few seconds. At least it can be thrown out the window.But what Xu Yanrong was afraid of was that with so many cars parked outside the window and so many drivers, once the explosive package exploded, the consequences would be disastrous. At this moment, Xu Yanrong heard the sound of a police car, she was startled, how could she call a police car at such a time!It's useless to say good things, how dare you scare him with a police car?In turn, she understood that Chen Muchuan's phone call just now must have played a role.Although Chen Muchuan only spoke half a sentence, that half sentence was enough for the nervous policeman.But that's okay, as long as the police car arrives, the driver in the yard will be able to leave soon. She hopes that Yi Yican can delay for a while, as long as the driver in the yard evacuates, she may rule out this dangerous situation. Xu Yanrong tried to get closer to Lao Kui again, and she found that Lao Kui was shaking violently, which proved that he was scared for a while and knew the consequences of the matter. "Don't come here, you are not a good guy!" Lao Kui suddenly spotted her and cursed at the top of his voice.Xu Yanrong was so frightened that she hurriedly shrank her body back. Fortunately, Lao Kui's attention was quickly attracted by Zhou Yican. "Old Kui, you have to trust me, we sit down and talk, there will always be a solution to the problem, don't you think so?" "Talk about it! Stop teasing me with these words, go away!" Lao Kui let the sound of the police car annoy him this time. The police car downstairs kept barking, just like the mad dog in the village, barking all day long. The noise disturbed the whole village.To deal with me, Lao Kui, you have a police car, but you have nothing to deal with the person who killed my son? "Old Kui, I'm sincere, you want to..." Before Zhou Yican finished speaking, Lao Kui's hand had already stretched out to his chest, and he made a dangerous move.Zhou Yican was so frightened that she quickly swallowed her words, covered her face with a dark face, and dared not open her mouth again. The situation once again reached a stalemate. Lao Kui was panting heavily, and it could be seen that he was going through a struggle in his heart.Some people under the stage began to walk out, the door was in chaos, and the leaders on the stage were even more panic-stricken, and everyone began to think about running for their lives. At this moment, another scene of danger appeared! No one expected that Zuo Qiwei suddenly jumped over, he wanted to hug Lao Kui and subdue him by force.This dangerous action frightened Chen Muchuan, and Chen Muchuan yelled: "Old Zuo, don't mess around!" Lao Kui smiled sinisterly, and he knew that no one in the room wanted to solve his problems, they were all monkeys, and the real poor one was his monkey.A layer of sadness hit Lao Kui's heart quickly.Lao Kui thought of his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson.My God, every time I think of this, Lao Kui feels that he can't live anymore, God has cut off his way of life, cut it off completely.His son died inexplicably, and he couldn't ask a good word after he died.The daughter-in-law and grandson were also forced and frightened by them, and plunged into the well.Leaving him an old and useless person, what else is there to live for?What are you living for? "I'm not alive!" Lao Kui suddenly shouted, and stretched out both hands to the rope buckle on his chest at the same time. The moment he pulled the rope buckle, a figure jumped over like a deer, holding it firmly with both hands. touched his wrist: "No way, Old Uncle Kui——" This voice was familiar to Lao Kui, and Xu Yanrong was even more familiar to Lao Kui. She was the judge who once sentenced her son Xiao Kui to divorce his wife. She was at least half responsible for his son's death.Lao Kui wanted to fight, but Xu Yanrong firmly controlled his arms.Xu Yanrong shouted: "Untie the rope quickly, be careful not to touch the explosive bag!" Only then did Zhou Yican wake up, and turned to Lao Kui to untie the rope, but she didn't know anything about explosives, her hands shook for a long time, but she still didn't dare to touch the rope. Xu Yanrong shouted again: "Help me grab an arm, be careful not to get close to him." Zhou Yican suddenly stretched out his hands, and with all his strength, he raised Lao Kui's arm high into the air. An extremely thrilling scene took place in the conference hall. When everyone was in a daze, Xu Yanrong made a decisive move to remove the explosives from Lao Kui's body.According to the way he had thought in advance, he smashed open the window and threw the explosive package out. In just half a minute, no, shorter than this, there was a huge explosion from downstairs. The sound of explosions shook the sky. The explosion sound moved the ground. The explosion made the whole Heyang tremble three times. Zhou Yi was paralyzed to the ground. Half an hour later, Qin Xiyue arrived.At this time, the court in Dongcheng District had been cordoned off, and the police had three floors inside and three floors outside, completely surrounding the court.The participants have been safely evacuated from the venue, and it is reported that the perpetrator, Lao Kui, was also taken away.No one was killed at the scene, but two cars were blown up.Qin Xiyue saw the shadow of Qiang Wei, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He was at the scene of the accident, and the police who rushed to the rescue were talking about something. After the bombing, Heyang City fell into silence. The silence was superficial, and everyone felt very heavy, stuck in the shadow of the explosion and unable to get out.But in the depths of silence, an invisible struggle is suddenly surging.This struggle seems to have been conceived for many years, lurking for many years, just waiting for an opportunity, and suddenly broke out. The first one to rush back was Qiao Guodong.He went to the countryside in Wufo to check the democratic appraisal work of Wufo. When he heard the news, he didn't bother to eat. He said to the driver, "Go back right away." "Director Qiao, why don't you wait for two more days and go back at this time..." "What are you waiting for! You can wait at this time!" Qiao Guodong said firmly, which was a rare decisive tone for him.The driver didn't dare to dawdle any longer, and rushed back as fast as he could. While still on the road, Qiao Guodong received a lot of calls, some reporting news to him, and some obliquely greeting him.Also, it was more direct: "Director Qiao, come back, how can you stay down here at this time?" Qiao Guodong didn't dare to answer these calls at all, just listened and didn't speak.After listening, close the phone, close your eyes and meditate. When he got home, Qiao Guodong hadn't had time to take a shower to remove the dust from his body when there was a knock on the door.This night, the family building of the Municipal People's Family in the center of Heyang was really lively. People coming and going brought a lot of information and took away a lot of information.Qiao Guodong was excited and aggrieved at first, but later, he suddenly thought: What are these people doing here?Why are you rushing to tell me this? Qiao Guodong still couldn't wait for Qiangwei's call until he went to bed.He originally thought that Qiang Wei would call him before he arrived in Heyang.Unfortunately he was wrong. On Qiangwei's side, the situation is different. Qin Xiyue was invited by Qiang Wei after dinner, Qiang Wei looked angry, it could be seen that he had lost his temper a lot.After returning from the scene, Qiang Wei kept getting angry. Qin Xiyue looked directly at him, his eyes resting heavily on his face, for a long time, he sat down without saying anything. It was the first time for Qiang Wei to shudder in front of Qin Xiyue, really, he shuddered.If Qin Xiyue questioned him when he came in, and lost his temper with him when he came in, maybe his behavior would be different.But Qin Xiyue was able to remain silent, to restrain himself so calmly.It was too much for him. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter, Lao Qin?" He didn't want to ask this question at first, but his mind was too messed up this day, and some weird thoughts got into his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what. Walk.For a moment, he advised himself, forget about Qiang Wei, this matter really has nothing to do with Qin Xiyue, don't keep thinking about him.But Qin Xiyue's supercilious and condescending attitude stimulated him, and he finally couldn't control himself and asked this question. Qin Xiyue was taken aback for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Qiang Wei's words.But in an instant, he understood what Qiang Wei meant by "inviting" him to come.Qiang Wei must have regarded him as Lao Kui's behind-the-scenes.The bastard!But he endured, and for the first time, he didn't let out the fire in his heart. "I don't understand what you mean, Secretary Qiang." Qin Xiyue slightly emphasized the tone of the last three words. 强伟敏感地捕捉到秦西岳语气的变化，这细微的变化再次刺激了他。“不明白？”他突地抬高了声音，陌生地瞪着秦西岳，“怎么，出了这么大的事，难道你还能沉得住气？” Sure enough!秦西岳感觉自己的心被人猛咬了一口，血冒出来，但他继续忍着。 “老秦，你是专家，又是人大代表，你到河阳来，我们欢迎，你替老百姓说话，我们也欢迎。可这次这事，做得太过了吧？”强伟出乎意料的，甩出这么一串子话。事先他并没想着要跟秦西岳这么说，他请秦西岳来的目的，一是想跟他交交底，小奎跟老奎的事，他不是在拖，也不是不解决，真是一下两下没法解决，个中缘由，复杂着哩。二来，也是想稳住秦西岳，不要让他一激动就把事情捅上去了。谁知他最终还是驱不开那想法，一想到秦西岳还有乔国栋跟老奎的密切来往，不由得就要把事情往坏处想。 这种可能不是不存在啊！ “强书记，请你把话讲明白点！”秦西岳没法再忍了。再忍，等于就是向强伟承认，老奎这个炸药包，是他教唆着绑上去的。 “明白点？老秦，我说得已经很明白了，难道那一声爆炸声，你没听见？” 秦西岳气得，简直就想冲强伟怒吼。出了这么大的事，强伟不从自己身上找原因，居然就先怀疑别人。“强书记，你太过分了吧……” “我过分？炸药包都炸到法院了，我还过分？老秦，我不想跟你吵，请你如实告诉我，到底怎么回事儿？”强伟的态度已经很恶了，尽管他还不能肯定，老奎的幕后就是秦西岳，但老奎做这件事，秦西岳不可能一点风声都听不到。听到风声而不报，这样的代表，要他何用！ “那我告诉你，我不知道！”秦西岳终于发作了，他没想到强伟会如此卑鄙，如此无耻！凭什么怀疑老奎是受人挑拨？像老奎这样的事，谁能挑拔，谁又敢挑拔！ “不敢承认是不？那好，秦专家，我也不逼你了，不过请你记住，这件事我会深查下去，如果查出幕后真有支持者，我强伟饶不了他，河阳人民饶不了他，党纪国法更饶不了他！”强伟已经从桌子后面站了起来，他的声音充斥着强烈的火药味儿，而且含满了威胁。 秦西岳被强伟的话激得更怒了，强伟岂止是在误解他，简直是在侮辱、强奸他！他的嘴唇抖着，颤着，心里更是怒火中烧。半天，愤然吼出了两个字：“无聊！” 强伟还想说什么，秦西岳已摔门而出。 强伟被那一声愤怒的摔门声震住了。 其实这一天，他们两个人都太过激动，如果有一方稍稍冷静些，谈话也不可能以这种方式结束。不过想到这一层，已是很久以后的事了，这一天，两个人心里，都是被对方气得锅滚！强伟并不是刻意要把秦西岳咋样，他还有一层意思，想通过秦西岳，把话带到乔国栋那边去，相比秦西岳，强伟更怀疑乔国栋，但他又不能直接找乔国栋发这通火。 秦西岳却认定强伟是在侮辱他，走在路上，他还不无悲凉地想，就因自己曾经替老奎说过几句话，就因自己深深地同情着这个失去亲人的老农民，就被莫名其妙地拉入了这场政治旋涡中。 作出这样的判断，秦西岳不是没有理由。早在两年前，秦西岳就因一场民告官的事儿，跟强伟闹翻过脸。那时他在沙县蹲点，沙县在腾格里沙漠南缘，胡杨河流域最下游一个县，是沙漠所的重点联系单位，也是全省重点治沙单位。这些年，秦西岳大多的时间，都是在沙县度过的，他的五个科研项目，还有三个课题，都跟沙县的生态有关。当时秦西岳还不是太热衷于替老百姓说话，尽管当代表也有两年了，但大部分时间，还有精力，都被工作占着，几乎没有闲暇顾及代表的事。那个叫王二水的农民通过关系找到他时，他还纳闷，凭啥要找到他这里来？ 一开始，他也推托着。一则，以代表的身份替王二水说话他觉得不大合适，况且自己还不是河阳市选出来的代表，就算人大代表有这个责任，那也得去找河阳市或者沙县的代表。二则，他也怕因此影响到工作，在他心里，治沙是高于一切的。可王二水哭哭啼啼，赖在他房间里不走，说如果不替他做主，他就去省城，去北京。总之，这个叫王二水的男人是缠上他了。秦西岳原本就不是一个心有多硬的人，加上这些年在基层，亲眼目睹了老百姓的苦，亲耳听了老百姓的难，对老百姓，真是有了一种感情。总感觉现在的老百姓，不好活。于是也就耐着性子，听王二水说。等把王二水的事情听完，他心里，就完全是另一个想法了。 “怎么会这样，这不是典型的拿老百姓开涮吗？” 王二水是山区的移民，他家原在五佛，那是一个十年九旱的地儿，山大沟深，而且山里沟里全都光秃秃的，没树。年初把种子撒地里，然后眼巴巴地等着天爷下雨，等到年底，天爷也没落下几个雨渣子，这日子，就难肠了。难来难去，山里就立不住人了。市上跟县里研究来研究去，决计移民，将五佛山区三百余户人家移到沙县一个叫红沙梁的村子。红沙梁原来是个荒滩，这些年四周都移了民，红沙梁搁在那，就有些难看。将山区的移民搬下来，整个九墩滩就连在了一起，一个崭新的九墩开发区才能建成。为鼓励移民，市县出台了不少优惠政策。其中有两条，对秦西岳触动很大，认为市县政府的确是为民着想。第一条是由农委跟财政局制定的，对这次移民的三百多户，搬迁费由市县两级财政出，每户再补助五千元安家费。第二条是市县两级计生委制定的，为配合计划生育，决计对两女户和独生子女家庭给予五千元补贴，而且优先在红沙梁划拨土地。王二水两个丫头，老婆三年前结扎了，算是两女户。 谁知等搬迁下来，事儿就不是那么回事了。农委跟财政给的那五千，说是集中划拨到了村上，由村上集中打井。计生委给的这五千，说是等移民村建成以后，由市县乡三级验收合格，才能按规定拨款。王二水认为县上欺骗了他，搬迁时县上的干部并没说这话，而是拿着红头文件，拍着胸脯说，人一到红沙梁，钱就到。王二水的老婆有病，乡上结扎时连惊带吓落下的，一直没钱医，到现在还没好。当时乡上认定是医疗事故，说要赔偿，但也一直没赔到手，这一搬迁，原来的乡政府不管了，说他移了民，算是沙县的人，应该找沙县要。沙县这边呢，说移民跟医疗事故不沾边，哪儿落的病，就得到哪儿看。王二水来来回回奔了几趟，非但没把遗留的问题解决掉，新的问题又有了。 红沙梁村分地时，没分给他，理由很简单，他没交村上的集资款。原来，移民村并不都是移民，沙县这边先派几户过去，等于是那儿的主，移民呢，算是客。村里的规矩，除了县上乡上定的那些，剩下的，就由这几户定。红沙梁因为打井成本高，加上要治理土地，村上定了一个标准，搬迁户每户先交一万，用于打井和修路。王二水哪有一万块钱？他始终认为，五佛那边搬迁时，县乡两级啥条件都没提，更没提这一万的事，等人搬迁下来，这也要收钱，那也要收钱，就连盖房修院子，也要先交三千的宅地费。It's not fair!王二水以前当过民办教师，在村里算个文化人，文化人向来多事，向来就不讨人喜欢。结果，他质问得越多，村上就越烦他，乡上就更烦，烦来烦去，就没他的地了。 王二水一家住在地窝子里，住了一年多，还是没分到地，非但没分到地，红沙梁机井里的水，也不让他吃了。从山上带下来的粮食吃尽了，仅有的几个钱也花光了，他的生活陷入了绝境。而且这一年多，他因四处上访，成了搬迁户中的钉子户，县乡村三级干部，见了他就躲，有消息说，乡上已把他列入黑名单，打算将他一家退回五佛去。 “荒唐，真是荒唐！”骨子里，秦西岳还是一个爱激动的男人，这也许是知识分子的通病，凡事爱发牢骚，爱拿自己的标准去评价事物，可现实往往又离他们的标准甚远。尤其凡事只要一沾了“官”字，就离谱得没边儿，云里雾里，让他们怎么也看不懂，于是乎，他们就用牢骚来代替不满，用不满来表达自己的意志。可光发牢骚顶什么用？喊几句荒唐能解决问题？ 冷静下来后，秦西岳开始想办法，替王二水想办法。他把王二水手里的文件全要来，看了一晚上，终于确信，王二水告得有道理，上访也有道理。所有的文件，都没提向搬迁户要钱的事，更没提那一万。而且，那两个五千，文件里规定得很清楚，都是人一到红沙梁，就由县财政直接拨付，用于移民盖房安家，而且写清楚是发放到移民手中。 既然有道理，就应该坚持。秦西岳不相信，偌大的世界，找不到一个讲理的地方。市县这么多领导，不会连一个替老百姓办事的都找不到！ 接下来，不用王二水再哀求，秦西岳就主动揽过了这事。一开始，为慎重起见，他还是把话说得很谦虚：“我替你问问，政府不应该说话不算数。”王二水很感动，王二水心想，有了秦西岳出面，他的地，还有钱，很快就能到手。可是一晃三个月过去了，王二水的问题丝毫没进展。秦西岳问过乡里，乡里说这政策是县上定的，应该问县上。秦西岳问县上，县上又说这政策是市里定的，应该问市里。秦西岳最后问到了市里，主管副市长打着哈哈：“这事嘛，当初考虑得不大成熟，结果留了后遗症。这样吧，我跟有关方面说说，能解决尽量解决。” 秦西岳就等，两个月又过去了，王二水除了得到乡上一笔二百元的救济款，还有两袋子粮，核心问题一个也没解决。秦西岳这才相信，世上，真还不大容易找到讲理的地儿，上上下下几十号子领导，真还找不出一个能切切实实为老百姓解决问题的人！ 后来王二水妻子的病又重了，怀疑是子宫瘤，王二水想拉妻子到县医院做个诊断，没钱。无奈之下，秦西岳掏出一个月工资，先让王二水给妻子看病。 这件事算是深深刺痛了秦西岳，也让他的思想发生质的转变。要说他对那些所谓的“破事儿”、“烂事儿”、“没人管的事儿”真正感兴趣，还就是打这以后。 就在那段时间，秦西岳利用闲暇，刻意到红沙梁村走了走，跟移民们喧了喧，才发现，王二水说的情况，移民中普遍存在。唯一不同的是，王二水站了出来，其他的人，却吞了、咽了、默默忍受了。 “哪见过钱的个影子，说好了给五千，还不都是哄人的。等把你迁下来，说过的话就都忘了，要死要活，是你自个儿的事，人家哪有那闲心，还管你移民。”乡亲们怨声载道，说的话难听死了。秦西岳又问：“这么大的事，为啥不向上反映？” “反映？你以为都是王二水啊，没脑子！惹恼了村上和乡上的人，以后还活不活人了？”一句话就把真相给道了出来。原来移民们刚到红沙梁，就有人打过招呼，要他们多干活、少说话，尤其不该说的，千万别说，说多了别怪不客气。有两个跟王二水一样的，掂不清轻重，也想闹闹，结果分地时就给分到了离井最远处，还是没平整过的地。单是把地往好里平，就得多花几千。“人是算账的，哪个轻哪个重，得辨清。多说一句话，多花几千块，谁敢说？”那个分了烂地的人冲秦西岳说。 秦西岳似乎明白了，小小的红沙梁，名堂大着哩。 果然，他在后来的调查中了解到，农委和财政给的那五千，市里的一半是落实了，县里因为财政紧，没落实。市里给的一半，说好是要落到移民头上，谁知乡上村上硬是给截留了。乡上要修政府大院，要买车，正四处筹钱哩，这钱能到了移民手里？村上截留的那点儿，全用来招待乡干部还有电干部了，不招待，地谁给你划？电谁给你拉？还有打井队规划队什么的，村干部正愁没钱招待哩，你个王二水，还到处告状，村干部能不拿你出气？ 秦西岳长长地叹了一声，以前虽说也在乡下跑，但他只管治沙种树这些事，分外的事，他懒得理，也没时间理。这下好，一个王二水，忽然就把他拉到了民间，拉到了田间炕头。这一拉，秦西岳便发现，老百姓真正关心的，不在于你一年种多少树，压多少沙，降低多少蒸发量。老百姓十个手指头，整天都为一个喉咙系盘算着，就这，盘算得不好，还要饿肚子。 一次市县联席会上，秦西岳忍不住就说：“我们总在计划移民，总在规划新村，问题是，移民来了咋办？他们的问题谁解决？不能像一场风，把人刮来就完事了，得想办法让他们立住脚。”主持会议的乔国栋连忙打断他：“老秦，别扯远了，就议治沙，别的话，会后说。”秦西岳对乔国栋，看法有所不同。觉得乔国栋绵软些，没强伟那么专断，也没强伟那么强硬。凡事到了乔国栋这里，都是以商量的态度办的，不管办得成办不成，他总有一个好态度。不像强伟，首先在态度上就有问题。其次，强伟往往把话说得很死，跟你没商量的余地。 还有一层，乔国栋是人大主任，秦西岳的下意识里，总觉得人大主任就是站在人民这边的。因此上，这些年他跟乔国栋就走得近，交流的也多，有了事儿，他不去找强伟，更不去找周一粲，而是径直就往乔国栋这儿跑。 见乔国栋拦挡，秦西岳没敢再往深里扯，不过会后，他还是从头到尾将王二水还有红沙梁村移民的问题向乔国栋如实作了反映。 乔国栋先是不说话，后来让秦西岳问急
