Chapter 265
A group of county party committee leaders rushed to the Huanghua Town Police Station at lightning speed.
The arrested journalist has been released. The county party committee member and propaganda minister quickly stepped forward to explain the situation to Li Qingjun, deputy editor-in-chief of Fangcheng Daily.
Huanghua Town Party Secretary Dai Peng quickly stepped forward to report: "Secretary, the matter has been thoroughly investigated. Several unemployed young people from Qigou Village deliberately buried the 'big black box' in the ground in an attempt to extort money. We responded to the county government's instructions. During the response, two reporters were uncooperative, leading to some conflict..."
Wen Tao frowned slightly, anger burning in his heart, but he knew that this was not the time to pursue responsibility, so he quickly turned and walked towards Zhang Qingjun, deputy editor-in-chief of Fangcheng Daily, who was angry with Zhang Gaofeng.
He understood that the most important thing at the moment was to appease the comrades from Fangcheng Daily, which was the key to solving the problem.
After all, we have arrested someone, so we have to give him some face.
The Fangcheng Daily is a division-level unit and the official newspaper of the Fangcheng Municipal Party Committee. If this incident is handled improperly and relations become strained, Long County will face many setbacks in the future.
"Your leaders in Long County are so unreasonable! Our Fangcheng Daily is just a small media outlet, how dare we offend you! Xiao Wang, take a picture for me and see what happens to these comrades in charge of the interviews! Are they public security organs or bandits and hooligans?" Zhang Qingjun said, pointing at the two reporters who had been detained by the Huanghua Town Police Station.
There were obvious redness and swelling on their faces, obviously they had just suffered violence.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang, I am Wentao, the Party Secretary of Long County. On behalf of Long County, I would like to express my deepest apologies to you and the journalists of Fangcheng Daily. We feel deeply guilty for the unfair treatment you have received." Wentao's attitude was very sincere and his tone was full of apology.
Zhang Qingjun looked at Wen Tao angrily, not caring about his identity as the county party secretary, and shouted: "Secretary Wen, your police comrades are too much! The reporters from our newspaper have revealed their identities, but they actually beat people! Is there any law here? We must have an explanation. According to the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law", how many days should one be detained for beating others? Just do it according to the law!" After that, Zhang Qingjun looked at Wen Tao coldly, as if waiting for him to express his opinion.
Then, Zhang Qingjun continued, "As law enforcers, police officers should not break the law knowingly! Don't you agree?" His tone was full of provocation, as if he was demonstrating to Wentao.
These journalists are warmly received by the local government wherever they go and are treated like little ancestors.
However, they suffered such a great injustice in Long County this time, so they were naturally unwilling to give up.
After all, this deputy editor-in-chief is a deputy division-level cadre who has frequent contact with leaders of the municipal party committee and government. He does not take county party secretaries like Wen Tao seriously at all.
Seeing that this so-called "deputy editor-in-chief" did not take him seriously at all, Wen Tao quickly pulled Zhang Qingjun aside and handed him his business card.
All that was printed on it was "Wentao, Deputy Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Fangcheng City and Secretary of the Long County Party Committee."
At this moment, Zhang Qingjun no longer has the arrogance he had before. As a public institution, Fangcheng Daily is also supervised and managed by the Fangcheng Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Zhang Qingjun smiled and said, "So it's Secretary Wen. How disrespectful!"
Wen Tao's heart flashed with contempt, and he thought to himself: "I actually prefer his 'unruly' look just now."
Even though he was thinking this, he still said with a smile, "Editor-in-Chief Zhang, please rest assured. I will definitely punish the relevant personnel and give our journalists a satisfactory explanation."
Seeing Wen Tao's humble attitude, Zhang Qingjun couldn't be too tough anymore and had to soften his tone a little.
Then he said, "Secretary Wen, there's no need to detain him, but at least you should apologize. Otherwise, we leaders will be embarrassed!"
Zhang Qingjun’s meaning is very clear. When a subordinate is beaten, we leaders can’t just remain silent, right?
"Dai Peng, call the police officer who beat people over here!"
Seeing that Zhang Qingjun had lowered his requirements, Wen Tao was secretly delighted and shouted loudly to Dai Peng, the Party Secretary of Huanghua Town.
"Secretary, the policeman who beat people has left..." Dai Peng said helplessly.
Dai Peng quickly pulled Wentao aside and started explaining to him.
The policeman who led the police team today is called Niu Lei, the deputy director of Huanghua Town Police Station and also the "nephew" of County Magistrate Niu Jun. Normally, there is no one in Huanghua Town who can command him. Just now, when he saw that things had become serious, he drove away in the police car.
Wentao got angry when he heard this. Why are all the "children" in Niu Jun's family like this!
He immediately shouted angrily: "Li Mingyang, quickly go and catch the police officer who beat me!"
"Yes! Secretary!"
......
Money comes and goes to the mahjong parlor
Niu Lei, wearing a police uniform, lost his last hundred yuan and immediately smashed the water cup in front of him in anger, cursing loudly: "What a fucking bad luck!"
The young men who were playing mahjong with him were so frightened that they stood up immediately. One of the fat men said to Niu Lei, "Brother Lei, don't be angry, we are just playing! I have more, you can play with it!"
After saying that, the fat man handed the stack of "hundred-yuan bills" in front of him to Niu Lei.
Niu Lei smiled happily when he saw this. It seemed that the money was about four or five thousand yuan. Although he was a policeman, his monthly salary was only about one thousand yuan. The anger in his heart immediately dissipated a lot.
Then he sat down at the table and started the game again.
"Brother Lei, what happened? You seem to be in a bad mood today!" The fat man immediately came closer and said.
"Fuck! There was a small incident. A few reporters came to my jurisdiction to cause trouble and dared to resist the law violently. I beat them up with a baton. I didn't expect that they would report it to the county, and some editor-in-chief j8 came." Niu Lei said with disdain, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
"Brother Lei, you're awesome! Nothing's going to happen, is it?"
"What can happen? Aren't they just a few reporters? This is in Long County! Can we rebel against them? What's the surname of the mayor of Long County? What's my surname?" Niu Lei said arrogantly.
Everyone present knows that Niu Lei is the nephew of the county magistrate, and the county magistrate of Long County is surnamed Niu!
In Long County, who dares to mess with the Niu family?
"Brother Lei is awesome!"
