Chapter 1738 Political Mission

"What's the situation over there?" Qin Feng turned and asked Xie Jiankai.

"I thought about it carefully and decided that it was not convenient to investigate this matter in an official capacity, since it happened in Tai'an County. So last night I asked someone to go to Tai'an County in a private capacity to learn about this matter."

"We all come from the same system. We still have many comrades and friends in Tai'an County Public Security Bureau." Xie Jiankai smiled when he said this.

"I asked them to mainly investigate two things. The first is to investigate the background information of Zhongyang Chemical Company, and the second is to investigate the arrest of eleven villagers from Shuitou Village yesterday." Xie Jiankai further reported.

"What's the situation with Zhongyang Chemical?" Qin Feng asked while lighting a cigarette.

"Zhongyang Chemical is a large chemical company in Tai'an County. It mainly engages in the production and sales of chemical raw materials, chemical products and some mineral products. It is relatively large in scale and is also a major taxpayer in Tai'an County." Xie Jiankai said.

"Is that all? Nothing else?" Qin Feng asked Xie Jiankai with his eyes wide open.

"There are still some other situations. I will report them to you separately after the meeting." Xie Jiankai said after a moment of hesitation.

Qin Feng knew what Xie Jiankai meant. Obviously, some things were not suitable to be discussed on this occasion.

"Tell me about the eleven villagers from Shuitou Village who were arrested by Tai'an County police yesterday." Qin Feng asked while smoking a cigarette.

"According to the official statement, these 11 villagers went to Zhongyang Chemical Company to cause trouble, obstructed the company's normal production, provoked trouble, and injured the company's security personnel."

"The local police station is still reviewing the case, but there is no clear statement yet on whether to detain or sentence him."

"But from what I have learned privately, it is true that the villagers went to Zhongyang Chemical to ask for an explanation that day, and it is also true that a physical conflict occurred between the two sides. However, according to what we have learned privately, it was the security personnel of Zhongyang Chemical who started the fight first, and the physical conflict between the two sides occurred. In addition, the number of security personnel of Zhongyang Chemical far outnumbered the number of villagers."

"But the injuries on both sides are still unclear at the moment," said Xie Jiankai.

"Haha, it seems that there is something fishy about this case. It makes sense for the villagers of Shuitou Village to want revenge." Qin Feng sneered.

"Things have basically become clear now, and we can also see that the problem is very complicated and we will be under great pressure."

"But no matter what, we must handle this matter properly. The principle is that the safety of people's lives and property is more important than anything else."

"Based on the current situation, our next work will be divided into several parts."

"The first part is to resettle and take care of the villagers of Shuitou Village."

"I suggest that you, the county magistrate, be personally responsible for this work because it involves many aspects." Qin Feng looked at Cao Changsheng.

Cao Changsheng nodded: "Indeed."

"The second part is the issue of the eleven villagers being detained by the Tai'an County police. Secretary Dong Liang, you will have to take personal responsibility for this matter, because this requires negotiations with Tai'an County. The legitimate rights and interests of these eleven villagers must be guaranteed, and even if they are punished for violating the law, it must be fair and just."

"It would be best if we could bring these 11 villagers back safe and sound, so that we can give an explanation to the villagers of Shuitou Village. Otherwise, we will not be able to control the public anger."

Zhu Dongliang nodded.

"Xie Jiankai, you must fully cooperate with Secretary Dong Liang and get this done." Qin Feng turned to Xie Jiankai and said.

"Yes."

"The third part is to collect evidence and seek compensation from the other party. At present, our main task is to collect evidence. Deng Yong, you are responsible for this. You must secure all the evidence and prepare for the legal procedures we may have to go through later. You must ensure that the evidence in our hands is foolproof and irrefutable."

"Okay." Deng Yong nodded.

As the county party secretary, Qin Feng does not give instructions on specific issues. Specific work is left to specific people to do.

This time, Qin Feng called all the bigwigs of the county party committee and county government to participate in and be responsible for this matter, which is enough to show how much importance Qin Feng attaches to this matter. In fact, this matter is indeed very serious. If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be immeasurable.

"Wu Bo, you Songshan Town cannot shirk your responsibility for this problem. I hope you can make up for it, do a good job in the next work, and regard solving this problem as your biggest task, and a political task."

"Let me be frank with you. If this matter is not handled well, not only will I remove you from your position, I will also hold your entire Songshan Town leadership team accountable. I will deal with it severely and will not show any leniency." Qin Feng looked at Wu Bo coldly.

Wu Bo was sweating profusely and nodded quickly.

"There are more than 700 villagers in Shuitou Village. The livelihoods of more than 700 villagers have been affected by the pollution. It is not clear how many villagers have become sick. In addition, the land and water sources have all been polluted. If this matter is not handled well, we will not be able to explain to the higher authorities or the people."
