Powerful and romantic

It must be admitted that in China, many departments that have the authority to handle cases, whether they are public security, courts, procuratorates, or discipline inspection, supervision, and petition departments, have the most common traditional practice, which is to forward cases layer by layer.So people often see this kind of situation: the report letter of a certain unit or a certain official is approved and forwarded layer by layer, and finally transferred to the leader or official of this position, asking them to "seriously investigate and deal with it."Even in the hands of the informant, the result can be imagined.This method of forwarding has its own problems, because the reported problems will involve many people in the network.Approving the report letter to a place where their power is deeply rooted is tantamount to giving them a tip-off; it is impossible to expect "serious investigation" there. They either cover up the crime, or form an offensive and defensive alliance, or destroy the criminal evidence, making future punishment difficult. Heavy.There are a lot of facts that show the disadvantages and harms of forwarding the report letters layer by layer. Not only is it not conducive to the investigation of the case, but it also exposes the whistleblower to corrupt officials. They are likely to retaliate against the whistleblower, which greatly hurts The rights and enthusiasm of the whistleblower.Some people dare not report even though they know the inside information, because they are afraid that the report letter will be approved and passed on to the person who has been reported.

Xu Junran didn't take the matter of stopping his car to file a complaint at all. According to his thinking, since he had already informed the Letters and Visits Office, it should be resolved.

Unexpectedly, after less than a week, something happened!

On a Monday morning, Xu Junran was looking at the documents. He went to the city for a meeting two days ago and left behind a lot of things. These documents should be quickly completed and handed over to the relevant departments for processing. At this moment, Liu Huaqiang panicked rushed into Xu Junran's office and said loudly: "County magistrate, it's not good. The old man committed suicide!"

Xu Junran frowned: "Old Liu, why are you panicking? What's going on, who committed suicide?"

It was the first time he saw Liu Huaqiang like this. With the improvement of his control over the whole county, Liu Huaqiang was no longer the submissive office director he used to be, who depended on other people's opinions for everything he did.Today, he can be regarded as a very popular existence in Incheon County. Many people in the county have established relationships with him and made connections, hoping to get close to Xu Junran, the county magistrate, through Liu Huaqiang. After all, everyone knows it.County Magistrate Xu is a stern and unselfish person.Unless it is a good relationship with the people around him.Otherwise, there is no way to get through the path of the county magistrate.

But now, Liu Huaqiang showed such a flustered expression like a brat, which surprised Xu Junran.But he also understood that something terrible must have happened, otherwise, with Liu Huaqiang's character, he wouldn't be in such a hurry.

However, hearing Liu Huaqiang say that someone committed suicide, this matter still made Xu Junran take it seriously. After all, in this era, in a small county, people's deaths are not trivial.Talk about big, big things!

"The county magistrate, the old man who filed the complaint a few days ago committed suicide!" Liu Huaqiang said helplessly to Xu Junran with a bitter face.

The expression on Xu Junran's face changed.Looking at Liu Huaqiang, he said in a deep voice, "What's going on?" He was very surprised. He had clearly confessed, so why did the old man still choose to commit suicide?

Liu Huaqiang knew from Xu Junran's face that the county magistrate was very angry now, so he quickly told the whole story.

This morning, the old man hanged himself in front of the county party committee compound. Fortunately, he was discovered by the guards in time and sent to the hospital. Although his life is out of danger, it has already caused a lot of impact. Liu Huaqiang just got the news, hurry up Reported to Xu Junran.

"County magistrate, Secretary Bai has gone to the province for a meeting. Look at this matter..." Liu Huaqiang asked Xu Junran with a bitter face.

Xu Junran's face was very ugly. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. After thinking about it, he said to Liu Huaqiang: "You go there yourself and let the person in charge of the Letters and Visits Office come over."

No matter what, since Bai Lin wasn't around, I was responsible for the affairs of the county, so I had to ask about this matter.

Liu Huaqiang didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately went out to find someone. After a while, someone knocked on the door of Xu Junran's office, and Xu Junran raised his voice, "Please come in."

Liu Huaqiang walked in, followed by a middle-aged man with a tense face. Xu Junran knew him. He was Du Jun, the director of the County Letters and Visits Office.

"Sit." Xu Junran pointed to the sofa and said to Du Jun.

Before Du Jun could speak, Liu Huaqiang said, "County magistrate, Director Deng has already rushed to the hospital in person. When I went, Director Du was also going there, so I stopped him."

Xu Junran nodded. Deng Wenbing's handling of this matter was very appropriate. In comparison, there was indeed no dereliction of duty.

"Well, I see, you go to find out the situation, and go to the hospital to have a look." Xu Junran thought for a while and said to Liu Huaqiang.

 

Liu Huaqiang turned and left Xu Junran's office.

Xu Junran stood up, walked to the sofa and sat down, glanced at Du Jun, and said slowly, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Du Jun's face was full of helplessness: "County magistrate, I will review with you. This matter is because my work is not in place."

Xu Junran chuckled, seeing this middle-aged man in his 40s sweating profusely in front of him, he naturally understood the reason for his nervousness, and lightly knocked on the coffee table, Xu Junran slowly shook his head and said, "Isn't it right now?" Who is to be held accountable, before that time, tell me, what is going on with this matter? Why did people die?”

Du Jun quickly explained: "County magistrate, the situation is like this. This old man is a family member of the second construction company in the city. His son works in a construction company. His finger was crushed by a machine on the construction site in our county some time ago. After being sent to the hospital, it was said that the limb would be amputated. After the second construction company paid the initial medical expenses, they stopped paying for it. People said that this matter is not to blame for others, but because of his son's improper operation. ,so……"

Xu Junran frowned: "Why is this kind of thing still a matter for our county? Besides, whether it's a work-related injury or not, it's not up to our county to deal with it? It's even a petition?"

He really felt baffled, since it was about the second construction company, even if he appealed, he should go to the city, why did he find the head of Incheon County?

At this moment, the phone on Xu Junran's desk rang and he answered it.It was Tan Xin's voice.

"County Xu, are you busy?" Tan Xin is a woman who is now a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, but for some reason, she is still so affectionate to Xu Junran. Ever since the two of them got along alone in the provincial capital, this woman has given Xu Junran every now and then. Calling, not mentioning anything, just chatting, made Xu Junran feel helpless for a while.As the saying goes, you don't hit people with smiling faces when you reach out, and a dignified deputy mayor took the initiative to put down his body to make friends with him.You can't refuse people thousands of miles away?not to mention.For the eclectic scene of that night.Every time Xu Junran thinks of it, his heart is always a little bit moved.

"Hehe, what's the matter with Mayor Tan?" Xu Junran said to Tan Xin with a smile.

After thinking about it, Xu Junran said to Du Jun again: "Director Du, wait a minute."

When he said that, Tan Xin immediately knew that there was someone beside Xu Junran, and smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, I just want to tell you that the second construction company in the city decided to decorate the office of your county party committee and county government for free, haha. "

Xu Junran frowned. Now that he heard the name of the city's second construction company, he felt angry and snorted.He said to Tan Xin indifferently: "Mayor Tan, I still have something to do here, let's talk again when we have time."

After finishing speaking, Xu Junran hung up the phone involuntarily.Tan Xin is like this, the more he treats her coldly.She got closer to herself.

 

Putting down the phone, Xu Junran turned to Du Jun and said, "Director Du, continue talking."

Du Jun nodded nervously. He heard it just now. It was clear that Xu Junran called the other party Mayor Tan on the phone. In other words, it should be Deputy Mayor Tan Xin, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee, but Mayor Xu clearly refused to give it to others. Out of face, facing such a powerful county magistrate, Du Jun was really uneasy, feeling like he was beating a drum.

Xu Junran could see that he was a little nervous, so he made a cup of tea for Du Jun himself, and said with a smile: "Old Du, I know the difficulties of your petition work, just introduce the situation to me."

Du Jun hurriedly picked up the material he had put on the coffee table before, and was about to read it according to the scriptures, but Xu Junran smiled, waved his hand and said: "We don't listen to the report today, I just want to hear the truth, how about it, Director Du Don’t you have the guts to tell the truth?”

Du Jun froze for a moment, opened his mouth wide, seemed surprised, and seemed to be pondering how to speak. For him, he was used to drafting and reading documents before speaking. This is what people who survived in that chaotic era are used to. After all, that's how he came here at that time, but now the young county magistrate seems to be a little different.

Xu Junran smiled. For him, Xu Junran can understand Du Jun's thoughts. After all, the letter and visit department is not an important department, and all aspects of the relationship need to be taken care of. Don't think that Du Jun has the power to communicate with various functional departments. Whether people will listen to him is an unsolvable problem in itself, so it is normal for him to have concerns.However, from Xu Junran's point of view, the reason why Du Jun couldn't open his mouth was most likely due to the failure of the second construction company.After all, the Letters and Visits Office only has the power to negotiate matters, but does not have the power to enforce the law.

Taking out a cigarette and lighting it for himself, Xu Junran said with a smile to Du Jun: "Old Du, just tell me what you have learned. At the very least, I think your petition office should be clear why the old man didn't file a complaint in the city. , without going through the court and the procuratorate, why should I report the situation to the government?"

Du Jun finally showed a wry smile, and said helplessly to Xu Junran: "The county magistrate, what the old man said, the boss of the second construction company said that the public prosecutors in the city are all his friends, even if the old man sues the court, it is useless. Moreover, the person was injured in Incheon County, and the city would not care about it. So he got upset and came to our county to file a complaint."

Xu Junran frowned and said nothing, but Du Jun regretted it a little. He was really a little reckless, and what he said just now was not appropriate.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Junran slowly opened his mouth and said: "I know about this matter, you go back first. It is my intention to tell Director Deng, and now your focus is to persuade the old man to take the legal route, and to do it patiently and meticulously for the old man." Work, of course, must pay attention to the method."

Du Jun quickly agreed, got up and bid farewell to Xu Junran and left.

Send him to the door, looking at the back of the other party going away.Xu Junran sighed, this Du Jun is not suitable for petition work, he is a bit too soft-tempered.

Just now Tan Xin said that the people from the second construction company were going to decorate the county government, but Xu Junran didn't take it seriously. No matter what the other party thought, not to mention whether it was effective or not, did he think he was that kind of person? A kind of person who can be bought at will?

After thinking for a while, Xu Junran returned to his office and began to review the documents.

At noon, Xu Junran grabbed the phone.Dial the phone number of the county political and legal committee.

"Secretary Liu. I'm Xu Junran." Holding the phone.Xu Junran smiled and said to Liu Qiang on the other side of the phone.

Liu Qiang was taken aback when he heard the words: "County magistrate, what instructions do you have?"

In all fairness, he has been [-]% wary of Xu Junran recently.After all, Wang Meng's incident has not been over for a long time, and now he is alone in the county, and even Bei Chaoqun may not have contacted him for a long time, Liu Qiang naturally understands what this means, it is nothing more than his old classmate , I have completely given up on myself.

Therefore, Liu Qiang is very careful now, for fear that if he accidentally offends Xu Junran, he will catch him and hurt his feet.

Xu Junran smiled: "Is there any instruction I can give. I just want to ask if you are free at noon? I invite Secretary Liu to dinner, and I want to ask Secretary Liu about something."

Liu Qiang was even more inexplicable. This Xu Junran invited him to dinner out of the blue, and said he wanted to ask his opinion on something. Could it be that he was planning something?to be honest.Since what happened to Wang Meng last time, Liu Qiang felt a little intimidated by Xu Junran. After all, this guy was able to see through Wang Meng's careful plan.

"Okay, I can't wait for the county magistrate's treat. I'm a rough man, and it's my duty to help the county magistrate." Liu Qiang laughed and said to Xu Junran.

No matter what, Xu Junran's posture was not high, and Liu Qiang couldn't think of a reason to reject him.

At noon, the two of them showed up on time at a place called Yuelai Hotel in the county. Xu Junran drove here by himself, and Liu Qiang came on foot. This place is relatively close to the county political and legal committee, so naturally he didn't pay attention to that pomp.

"Hehe, the county magistrate, you are too polite." Looking at the table full of wine and food, Liu Qiang said to Xu Junran with a smile.

He said so in his mouth, but Liu Qiang was vigilant in his heart. After all, he still understands the truth that being courteous is either rape or stealing.Xu Junran invited himself to dinner for no reason, there must be some kind of conspiracy, Liu Qiang didn't want to fall into the trap of others in a daze.Although the food and drink were good, if it turned into a Hongmen banquet, Liu Qiang would definitely not think that he would be blessed to enjoy it.

Xu Junran smiled: "Secretary Liu, you're welcome. I do have something to ask you to answer today. Let's eat first."

The liquor is good, and the liquor from the Incheon County Baijiu Factory is still very good. After drinking it, there is a spicy fragrance in his mouth. Xu Junran and Liu Qiang drank a glass each, and then asked Liu Qiang with a smile: "Secretary Liu, there is a I want to ask you about legal issues."

Liu Qiang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Xu Junran really wanted to ask himself a question, so he smiled and said, "Oh? Do you really have something to ask me? I'm a rough person, and you're a college student. How can you ask me for advice? ah……"

Xu Junran smiled lightly, he knew Liu Qiang, although he looked rough on the surface, he looked like a fierce Zhang Fei, but in fact there were many ghosts in his stomach, after all, if he was not related to Tan Xin, It's not clear that Liu Qiang still has contact with Bei Chaoqun.Of course, Xu Junran would not say anything about this matter, after all, he can see clearly now that Liu Qiang has been given up by Bei Chaoqun.In officialdom, sometimes you have to learn to forget.

But Xu Junran naturally wouldn't point out this matter, he smiled, he told Liu Qiang what happened this morning, and finally asked: "Secretary Liu, what do you think the chances of winning this matter will be if there is a lawsuit?" ?”

Liu Qiang was taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized that Xu Junran should be on the side of the injured workers.

As the saying goes, you know what you want when you hear the strings, so Liu Qiang naturally analyzed it immediately. Xu Junran is looking for him today, probably because of this case.

After pondering for a while, Liu Qiang said to Xu Junran: "According to the legal calculation, if this case really goes to court, the victim has no reason to lose. After all, since he was your worker on the construction site , that is to be protected by law, it is irresponsible and inhumane to say that there is no contract and leave it alone!"

He's not stupid either. Since Xu Junran dared to find him, it must be because he needs to come forward in the public prosecution and law enforcement. Speaking of this matter, Liu Qiang has really heard a little bit about it. Some time ago, the old man also made a fuss in the county party committee compound. It's just that he didn't care about it at that time, but he didn't expect that the old man actually attracted Xu Junran's attention.Now that county magistrate Xu has intervened and seems to be on the victim's side, then Liu Qiang is going to be a clean official and just go back and say hello to the procuratorate.

Xu Junran nodded, raised his glass and said with a smile, "Drink, let's drink..."
