Section 46 Crisis vs Opportunity

The air conditioning of Buick New Century's powerful air conditioner did not relieve Zhao Guodong's nervousness at all. This was the first time he encountered such a large-scale mass incident. Later generations remembered that he encountered it when he was a police station chief, but he was responsible for handling it according to the orders of his superiors and never really took charge of such a thing personally.

Although Tan Lifeng has arrived at the scene, I am afraid that anyone will encounter such a large-scale mass incident for the first time.

In the past, there were only a few dozen people, at most a hundred people, and there were some interests, which were relatively more relaxed. But now this time it involves human life. Although it was a suicide by drinking pesticides, it was a human life after all. Regardless of whether your government has responsibility or not, it was morally passive first.

The mentality of the people is sympathetic to the weak, and the mentality of following the crowd is easily aroused. Many people will not even judge what the matter looks like. As long as someone shouts, they will emulate it. From a psychological point of view, it is difficult for ordinary people to control their emotions in such a fanatical atmosphere. In this case, if they are not dealt with properly, it is very easy to cause uncontrollable disasters.

Buick left Jingxian County and drove southward. Matun Township was relatively remote. The driver Xiao Wang probably knew the route. He went south from the county road and turned to a fork on the east side more than 20 kilometers. In fact, it was a broken gravel road. There were undulating dry land on both sides. The strong smoky smell of burning wheat straw heads spread everywhere, which further added Zhao Guodong's inner irritability.

After about ten kilometers from the fork, there were more and more people on the fork. They were wearing slippers, shaking their palm-leaf fans, and some were holding their children. It was obvious that these people were going to the township government to watch the fun. Zhao Guodong looked at his watch and it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, but it was still bright.

Li Changjiang caught Zhao Guodong in a secluded place one kilometer away from the township government. Judging from Li Changjiang's expression, the matter had not yet developed to the extent of his imagination. Zhao Guodong breathed a little relieved.

"Old Li, I won't talk about the early situation. I have a brief understanding of the situation on the scene. What are their requirements? How are the county party committee and government prepared to deal with it?" Zhao Guodong was not polite and went straight to the point.

Li Changjiang served as the secretary of the Jingxian County Party Committee for four years before he arrived in the city. Although Jingxian's economic development has been slow, Li Changjiang himself is still honest and has a good reputation, so he can also say tough words.

"There are about seven or eight hundred people on the scene now. In the early stage, there were only one or two hundred people. There were some conflicts with the police officers responsible for guarding the township government in the county public security bureau. They pushed down a large part of the township government wall and smashed a transformer on the side, causing all the power to be cut off." Li Changjiang unbuttoned one of his shirt buttons and licked his lips that had cracked due to dryness.

"They probably have no unified opinions yet. Now I have arranged for more than 20 plainclothes in the county public security bureau and the municipal bureau to enter, and keep abreast of the situation at any time. According to the information received, among the seven or eight hundred people, there are about two hundred people in the Zhang family's courtyard, and there are about thirty or forty people who have clear blood ties with the deceased. The others are those who are ranked first but do not have much blood ties. Among the remaining hundreds, some are people from the Zhang family's courtyard, and a considerable number of people who are at home near the township government."

"That is to say, they don't have a clear opinion within themselves now?"

Zhao Guodong felt more and more nervous. If he had a clear opinion, it would be much better. At least he understood their intentions, he could come up with targeted countermeasures and plans, sit down to negotiate or negotiate, which could greatly resolve the opposition.

But these people have no consensus yet, that is, they are in an unstable state and may be influenced by some people who are simple in mind and easily excited at any time, which will worsen the situation.

"Old Li, the person trapped in the township government was not injured, right?" Zhao Guodong tried hard to calm down his emotions.

"At that time, there were only some pushing and grabbing. Two policemen's clothes were torn, but no fierce conflict occurred. Our police were also restrained. As long as they did not have any impact or smashing, smashing, the police just persuaded them with kind words." Li Changjiang nodded, "I specifically instructed that Liao Zijian, the political commissar of Jingxian Public Security Bureau, was an old comrade, with rich experience and prestige. He could control the situation for the time being, but if it took too long, I don't know if there would be any changes."

"Old Li, I think it is not a solution to drag on this. The situation may worsen at any time. They may not calm down for a while now, and it is difficult for them to consider the follow-up matters, but we cannot wait. Otherwise, if we are used by some people who have ulterior motives or are dissatisfied with the Party Committee and the government, something big may happen. I think this way, didn't Luo Yaozu arrange someone to find their older generation with higher Zhang family and somewhat prestige in the old life?"

Zhao Guodong thought for a while and said, "I asked Luo Yaozu. He said that the deputy director of the Economic and Cultural Committee of the County CPPCC seemed to be from the Zhang family's courtyard. He had already arranged someone to pick him up. As soon as he arrived, he would let him go in and guide him directly. Then let the township government go in with two people who are good at dealing with people and have some prestige among the masses and guide him directly. Let Wu Zishan and the others prepare for the reception conversation, stabilize the people's emotions as soon as possible, and enter the negotiation stage."

"Well, I think it's OK. Secretary Tan has arrived at the scene. Otherwise, we will meet and meet first, discuss how to deal with it. If the person we are looking for can play a role, I think we can also find some people with some influence in the village to help persuade irrelevant people to leave first. I have arranged for people to do work outside."

Li Changjiang agrees with Zhao Guodong's opinion quite well. He has been the director of the public security bureau for more than a year or two years. He and Zhao Guodong, who came from the public security, have a lot of common language in some views. He also admires Zhao Guodong's quick and broad thinking. It would be useless to be the executive vice mayor at this age. Without some real materials, you can't sit steadily even if you are allowed to sit in this position.

"By the way, where did the husband of the deceased I asked you to investigate to find out where did you work?"

Zhao Guodong suddenly remembered something. Today is the era of market economy. These migrant workers have more knowledge and have lost their awe of the past planned economy era for rural cadres. Instead, they are obedient to those private bosses who can directly grasp their jobs. If they can find the online bosses of these people and ask them to help and help do their work from the side, the situation may be much better.

"I have found out that I was working in a project department of Longhua Civil Engineering and Construction Company in the city. I have arranged someone to go to the boss of the project department to contact me immediately." Li Changjiang quickly replied. Zhao Guodong's mind is indeed very useful, and it is not something that ordinary people can do if they can think of this path.

"Okay, you urge them to do everything possible to find this boss, ask him to assist and cooperate with the government's work, it's best to let him come here." Zhao Guodong didn't say much, waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go to the scene first and discuss with Secretary Lifeng."

When Zhao Guodong and his group arrived at the gate of Matun Township Government, they saw at a glance that at least 30 meters of wall on the side of Matun Township Government was knocked down, and a transformer was smashed, and more than ten stone bricks were thrown aside. It was obvious that someone took the opportunity to smash the transformer next to the wall when it was being lifted up.

Tan Lifeng did not approach the gate of the township government, but stood next to the woods a hundred meters outside the gate.

The gate of the township government was an iron gate. The gate was closed tightly. There were more than a dozen police officers at the door waiting for him. There were a hundred people tightly surrounded outside the door, but there was no head-on conflict between the two sides. It seemed that the people outside the door were also waiting for something.

Behind this group of people, twenty or thirty people gathered together, arguing with chickens and ducks. Someone didn't say a few swear words, or two women were crying there, but it wasn't very sad to see that. It was probably relatives like the deceased sisters.

Zhao Guodong chose a high place to observe and judged that the twenty or thirty people who were quarreling should be the family of Zhang as mentioned in Li Changjiang's mouth. One of the people in the middle must be the husband of the deceased. It seems that they have just come down from the construction site. Many people have traces of cement mortar on their bodies and yellow rubber shoes.

Obviously, the opinions of these people were not unified yet, but judging from this posture, especially the men in their thirties in the middle were waving their hands and scolding each other from time to time, Zhao Guodong was a little worried that the problem would be caused by these people.

There are five or six hundred people around this group of people, surrounded by a circle of artificial circles, but they all stand a little scattered, and they are scattered into more than ten groups of different sizes, and most of them are women and the elderly. Many people are holding children. They know that they are worn by their homes at a glance. They are talking about it, but there is no sadness and pain on their faces. It is estimated that most of them are living around to watch the lively and help the characters.

Zhao Guodong was a little convinced. To solve the problem, he had to separate the people and send them away. Now it was almost six o'clock, and dinner was late in the countryside. It was dark late now. It was probably around seven o'clock. These women would go back to cook the night meal. In other words, there was still more than an hour before these people would disperse. No one could predict what would happen in this hour.

Especially when the 20 or 30 people are emotionally unstable, they are easily instigated and taken risks. This is the biggest uncertainty.

Once this group attacks the township government, dozens of police forces in the township government can't resist it at all. Perhaps it will cause a disaster in just a few minutes.
