For a while, the mayor stopped calling these people to stop.
"This matter is difficult to handle. It's not that it can't be handled. The main reason is that it will be particularly troublesome if these people keep staring at Taoshan Village." The mayor did not dare to be too direct. After all, he is just a small town mayor. , looks pretty powerful, but actually can¡¯t control many things.
Jiang Tian said: "It's easy to handle, but I need to leave this to you."
"Huh?" The mayor didn't know why.
Jiang Tian said, "Everyone, please stop!"
As soon as he said this, the fighting villagers stopped involuntarily and stood aside. About a dozen village chiefs were lying on the ground, with wounds on their faces and pain radiating from their bodies. All of them were beaten badly. light.
There were red handprints on Xin Laohei's face, and his whole face was swollen. When he was beaten just now, a woman opened her arms from left to right and kept slapping him in the face.
There was deep resentment in his eyes, and now he wished he could beat Jiang Tian to death.
Jiang Tian: "Mayor, what I said just now is that these village chiefs threatened to destroy their homes to leave. The fundamental reason lies with them. I believe the villagers all want to make money by setting up stalls, but They are just ordinary people. When facing the village chief, they do not dare to resist at all, otherwise they will wear small shoes."
The mayor nodded. He was not generally clear about this kind of thing. After all, he also came from the village. If any of these families are in trouble, unless you move them away, your life will be over.
"The fundamental reason is that these village chiefs, you happened to be here too, and they are all here. How about just listening to what they have to say."
¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, the mayor is here to make the decision for you, just say what you want to say.¡±
As soon as Jiang Tian finished speaking, someone shouted.
"Town chief, the head of our village charges security fees, saying it is to protect us villagers. This is a disguised protection fee."
¡°Yes, it¡¯s the same in our village. Each household gets two hundred yuan a year. We¡¯ve been collecting this for several years.¡±
"The village chief raised money and said he wanted to build a road, but it hasn't been built yet."
"There is also my land. He just took it and built a pigsty on it. It was obviously contracted by me."
"I have three or four acres of peanuts, and every time they are ripe, they will take away five or six bags at once."
"Yes, not only peanuts, but also corn, beans, everything."
"Every year it is said that the village collects money for this and that matter. I am very surprised that a small village has so many things."
The villagers started talking to each other one by one. Now that I have the opportunity to talk about these things, of course I have to say them all.
The mayor¡¯s expression turned ugly when he heard this. This kind of thing can still happen in this society. This can no longer be described as abhorrent. They are not qualified to be village chiefs anymore.
"Mayor, I want to ask a question. We pooled our money to buy you a gift. Why don't you prefer our village at all?"
As soon as these words came out, the town's expression changed drastically, "What gift?"
"Every year the village chief says he collects money to buy you gifts. Each family has three to four hundred yuan. This has been collected for many years."
"Does your village also accept it?"
¡°You mean this, your village doesn¡¯t do the same, right?¡±
¡°Our village also accepted it, saying that it was to allow the mayor to grant the money to our village, and we needed to give gifts as a token of filial piety.¡±
"So are we!"
Many people started talking about it, and they were all very surprised. They thought it was just their own village that did this, but they didn¡¯t expect that other villages did it too.
The mayor was shocked, "No, what kind of gift are you talking about? I have never accepted a gift and I will never accept a gift. You can't talk nonsense."
Collecting money and gifts is absolutely not allowed now. He did accept some in the past, but since this requirement came down, he has never done so again, and the gifts he received were all from relatives. Yes, I want to help arrange a job and let the students go to a better high school, nothing else.
As for the fact that these village chiefs collect money to buy gifts, he has no idea at all.
"How can we talk nonsense? It took us a long time to save three to four hundred yuan. There are hundreds of households in our village. This is thirty to forty thousand yuan, and we can buy a car." Ah, this harvest lasted for several years, we remember it very clearly."
"Yeah, I keep track of the accounts. In so many years, that's over 100,000. "
"It's more than 100,000 yuan. I haven't heard that other villages also charge money. If a dozen villages add up, it's over a million."
After hearing this number, the mayor became anxious and said, "I really didn't receive a gift from your village chief. Usually when they hand over a cigarette, I don't smoke it. How could I get a gift?"
Now this is not a small number. It doesn't matter if it's three or four hundred. So many villages have collected money, and they have collected it for so many years. It's millions. If this kind of thing happens to him, he wants to be simply dismissed. That is absolutely impossible, and you will need to stay in prison for the rest of your life.
"I swear, I swear, if I accept the gift from your village chief, my whole family will die."
"If you don't believe it, you can call the police to check on me. I definitely didn't take any money."
He was really scared. If he opened his mouth to spread rumors and refuted them, he would lose his legs. What's more, so many villagers were actually paid. Even if this crime did not fall on him, it would still be affected. , my whole life is over.
Dong Shihao said with some surprise: "Oh, I really didn't expect it. It was just a small thing at first, but it actually involved a big problem, at least millions. This is not a small amount. No matter who collects the money, in this life Just stay in jail."
Jiang Tian said: "Mayor, this money was collected by the village chiefs in their respective villages. They know the whereabouts of the money. Just call the police and ask them to check the bank information to see if the money was used to buy gifts or to buy gifts. It just sits in their bank card and has never been touched."
"Yes, call the police." The mayor took out his mobile phone, and you could clearly see that his hands were trembling. This was not because of guilt, but because he was afraid of being framed.
In fact, you can clearly see that the faces of the village chiefs have changed, which is enough to explain the flow of the money.
Several village chiefs stared at Xin Laohei angrily. If it hadn't been for his idea, they would never have chosen to come. As a result, not only did they not threaten others, but now they have exposed their own past.
Not long after, police officers arrived, not from the police station, but from the county and city, including the county magistrate Chen Yong. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
