Zhou Tianhao would not miss such an opportunity, let alone Zhao Changhe and Cai Zhiming were behind him. He was sure that there was a conspiracy behind this petition. Taking this opportunity to expose the things behind him, many problems could be solved.

"Okay, everyone, calm down and listen to me."

Zhou Tianhao raised his voice and the surroundings soon became quiet.

"The township government held a meeting and made a decision to raise funds to build a bridge in Shanqian Township. Our Shanqian Township has been suffering from a bridge for many years. This time, the county party committee and county government care about the farmers in our Shanqian Township, and specially allocated 1 million yuan to build the bridge and helped us. We obtained 1 million yuan in funds in the city, which was a total of 2 million yuan. Think about it, if the leader cares about us so much, can we not work hard to build the bridge..."

The farmers around us exclaimed bursts of exclamations, and many people said that the bridge must be repaired.

"It takes nearly 5 million yuan to repair the steel and cement bridge. After all, it is our own business in Shanqian Township. We are also the farmers in Shanqian Township. We cannot stand by and watch. Therefore, the township party committee made a decision to raise 2 million yuan in the whole township. The cadres and employees of the township and leaders of the township must take the lead in fundraising. Our standard for fundraising is 400 yuan per township, 300 yuan per station manager, and 200 yuan per cadres and employees.

Speaking of the farmers in the whole town, after accounting, we decided to raise 65 yuan per person. I know that this has caused a considerable burden on everyone. The farmers in our Shanqian Township are very hard. The family has no money. But it is because of our hard life that we gritted our teeth to repair the bridge. After the bridge is repaired, my life will be hopeful. All the pigs, cattle and sheep in our house can be sold, and our lives will gradually get better, and we will not be much worse than the farmers in Yunhe Township opposite..."

Some farmers have already started to answer, saying that they support the bridge repair and resolutely complete the task of fundraising, while others said that they have paid the fundraising funds and are looking forward to starting the construction of the bridge repair as soon as possible.

"I can understand everyone's mood, of course. We must also consider the actual situation of farmers. Some extremely poor households will waive fundraising funds after careful investigation. For these particularly difficult farmers, we not only do not collect money, but also find ways to solve their living difficulties. Here, I made a clear statement. I just mentioned the six farmers in difficulty in front of me. I will go to their homes to investigate and see the situation on the spot. If it is really difficult, we will seriously consider it. Here, I also want to tell everyone that waive fundraising funds, it is not my personal decision, nor is it the township leader who has the final say. This list is to be published and approved by everyone..."

The farmers around cheered in unison, and some laughed at the six peasants. Some of them knew about their situation.

The six peasants were ready to leave when they saw that the situation was not good. Unfortunately, they had no chance. Zhou Tianhao had already arranged Yan Jiafu.

"Director Yan, all the six petitioners were taken to the police station. Now, I am going to visit one by one to see what is going on at their homes. Secretary Tan, please follow me to visit."

The six people were soon taken into the jeep by police officers.

"Secretary Zhao, Director Cai, I am going to visit the homes of the peasant farmers. Should you go to the township government to have a rest first?"

"Xiao Zhou, we came to Shanqian Township to investigate and understand the situation, not to rest. Okay, let's follow you to the farmers' homes to investigate and see what's going on."

Zhao Changhe had already seen the scene just now. He felt that Zhou Tianhao had completely integrated into Shanqian Township. The farmers loved to listen to what they said, and the farmers around him did not show any disgust with the fundraising. The situation here was a bit strange, so he also needed to know the real situation.

After getting on the jeep, the farmer who spoke in front of Zhou Tianhao also entered the jeep. Zhou Tianhao didn't want to waste time, so he went to the farmer's home now. If the news leaked, he might not be able to investigate anything.

Tan Dongming knew the farmers' residence, and the jeep stopped at the edge of the market town.

When he walked into the farmer's house, Zhou Tianhao saw a woman chopping pig grass in the main hall. The woman knew Zhou Tianhao and Tan Dongming, but she didn't know Zhao Changhe and Cai Xiaoming. Seeing the leader from the village coming to his house and seeing the man following him with a pig liver look on his face, she knew that the situation was not good.

"Secretary Zhou, Secretary Tan, my man knows nothing. When he goes to the township government, it is not organized by him. Don't arrest him. I will advise him at home, but he won't listen..."

The woman's voice was crying.

"I understand. We are here to understand the situation. Is your family in difficulty? Is it impossible to pay the fundraising funds? Is there an 80-year-old mother who needs to support me?"

"Secretary Zhou, don't listen to my man's nonsense. This is not his intention. Director Gu came to his house and after drinking with him, he was about to petition. I know that the matter of fighting against the government cannot be done. You must not arrest our man. If you have money at home, I will get the money now. We will pay the fundraising funds..."

"Okay, I understand. We won't collect money directly. The cadres in the village and the cadres stationed in the village collect money. You have to remember that you need to issue a receipt for collection. It is charged according to the standard of 65 yuan per person. We already know what you said. We will take your man to the police station to verify the situation."

"Secretary Zhou, don't arrest our men. He doesn't know anything. He just followed Director Gu. The last time he went to the county to make trouble, Director Gu went after he found him..."

Tan Dongming had already explained to Zhao Changhe and Cai Zhiming that the woman mentioned Director Gu is Gu Changgui, the deputy director of the village enterprise management office, and Gu Changshun's younger brother.

Tan Dongming's face turned pale, and the facts were in front of him, and he already understood the situation.

The jeep went straight to the police station, where three detained farmers were also present.

Zhou Tianhao got off the car and asked Yan Jiafu.

"Director Yan, I heard that you arrested three peasants. What's the situation? Who told you to arrest people casually?"

Yan Jiafu knew what Zhou Tianhao meant, so he would certainly not take the blame for this. Moreover, the county party secretary Zhao Changhe was behind Zhou Tianhao. Zhou Tianhao said this, which was actually helping him to relieve his responsibilities.

"It's not what I want to arrest. Township Mayor Gu asked us to go to the township government. When I saw a farmer petition, I thought about doing work. Secretary Tan also said that the police station has come and do a good job of farmers. However, Township Mayor Gu asked us to arrest people, otherwise even if we don't perform our duties, we have no choice. Whoever arrested was asked by Township Mayor Gu. We didn't do anything about the farmers we arrested. Now we are sitting in the office. Someone specializes in doing work for them and told them that we can't do this in the future."

After achieving this, Zhou Tianhao knew that his task had been completed. After all, Zhao Changhe was here, and he still had to listen to the leaders' opinions on what to do later.

"Secretary Zhao, I think it's better to investigate it clearly. With the materials, it's better. What should you do."

Zhao Changhe glared at Zhou Tianhao.

"Do what you should do. The situation must be investigated clearly. Director Yan, please arrange a special person to investigate clearly what the inside story of this petition is. The arrest of the person is wrong. How can you arrest the person at will? Let it go and do a good job for the farmers. Okay, I'll go and see the situation."

Yan Jiafu followed Zhou Tianhao, looking at Zhou Tianhao with a grateful smile on his face.

Zhao Changhe and Cai Zhiming came to the township government accompanied by Zhou Tianhao and Tan Dongming. At this time, Gu Changshun was still hiding at home, thinking about how things would develop. He originally wanted to call Song Ze, but in the end he still didn't call. He still waited for the things to worsen and called. Of course, he could know what happened in the township government. Gu Changgui has always been in the township government and paid close attention to the development of the situation.

Zhou Tianhao entered the office, and Li Hui was humming a song.

"Secretary Li, where is the Township Chief Gu?"

"Secretary Zhou, Township Mayor Gu was resting at home, saying that he was feeling a little uncomfortable. In the morning, someone came to the township government to petition, and it was a big fuss. Township Mayor Gu has been doing work all the time..."

"Okay, I understand. Notify all the team members and go to the conference room immediately. Secretary Zhao and Director Cai from the county are here."

When Zhao Changhe entered the conference room, there was no expression on his face.

Li Hui would not have thought that the people who followed Zhou Tianhao were Zhao Changhe, the county party secretary. At this time, she was also panicked and hurriedly notified the team members. However, there were not many team members at home, and some of them had already gone to the village to help urge them to raise funds.

Twenty minutes later, all the members of the team at home entered the conference room.

When Gu Changshun entered the conference room, his face was filled with smiles, and he did not look at Zhou Tianhao.

"Secretary Zhao, Director Cai, you came to Shanqian Township. Oh, I'm really embarrassed. A farmer came to petition and cause trouble in the morning. I worked for a while and went home to rest. They were all caused by fundraising."

Zhao Changhe's attitude was a little cold.

"I already know the matter. This time I came here, I just learned about the fundraising situation in Shanqian Township, see what the farmers responded, and see how the bridge repairs in Shanqian Township were arranged."

Gu Changshun's face still had a smile, but the smile was a little stiff. Seeing Gu Changshun's face like this, Zhou Tianhao felt it was ridiculous. Gu Changshun might not know that he was already in big trouble. I am afraid that Zhao Changhe and Cai Zhiming would understand these small moves behind their backs.
