Zhou Yihong interrupted, "Xiao Wei, I have an impression of the case where the villagers violently kidnapped the staff of the County's Recruitment Office. It seems like someone died. At that time, a group of officers were also punished. Is Wu Zhongqi one of the officers that was punished?"
"That's right. Here's what happened: The county that Wu Zhongqi worked in was rich in coal, and the phenomenon of the villagers secretly mining coal resources in the mountains was very serious. In order to crack down on these small coal mines, the county set up checkpoints near the villages where the problem was prominent. The Office of Coal Tax Collection arranged for staff to set up checkpoints to stop all the coal that was transported out of the small coal mines.
"On a certain night in the summer of that year, the staff of the county's General Recruitment Office stopped a coal truck from a certain village. When they were about to confiscate it, dozens of villagers with hoes and poles suddenly surrounded the checkpoint and took away the coal truck. They even took three staff members into the village and locked them in the toilet. The local police station arranged for officers to rescue them, but they were stopped by the villagers outside the village and couldn't enter.
"Wu Zhongqi was the leader of the county's special action team to clean up the small coal mines. He had a hot temper and was young and hot-blooded. When he received the report that the three staff members of the County General Recruitment Office were locked in the toilet by the villagers and that the local police couldn't rescue them, he couldn't help but fly into a rage. He immediately ordered the County Public Security Bureau to mobilize a large number of police officers to the village. In the end, they were blocked by hundreds of villagers with hoes, poles, and even guns at the entrance of the village. They couldn't enter the village to carry out the rescue operation.
"Both sides were in a deadlock for more than an hour. Wu Zhongqi couldn't take it anymore and ordered the armed police to fire a warning shot into the air. In the end, one of the police officers might have panicked during the warning shot, or the gun might have accidentally discharged. He actually shot a woman in the forehead, causing her to die on the spot. This led to a very influential incident.
"Later, the Provincial Party Committee gave instructions on this incident and requested that the person responsible be dealt with seriously. Because Wu Zhongqi was the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and he was the one who ordered the warning shot, he was put on file for investigation. It was said that he might even be transferred to the judicial authorities for abuse of power. "
At this point, he picked up his cup and took a sip of tea. Seeing the confused expression on Zhou Yihong's face, he said, "Old Chief, you're probably wondering how Wu Zhongqi's case is related to Deputy Secretary Chen's daughter? How did Deputy Secretary Chen's daughter save his life, right? "
Zhou Yihong nodded and said, "Yes, I have this question in my heart."
"Listen to me and you'll understand."
Next, Wei Gangqiang turned to Chen Yue. He told Zhou Yihong the details of how he saved Wu Zhongqi.
It turned out that after Wu Zhongqi was put on file for investigation, because he usually had a good reputation among the common people and had a good reputation as an official, other than the accident caused by his impulsiveness this time, there were no other violations of law or discipline. Therefore, he was released after a few days and waited for the higher-ups to deal with his problem. During this period, he found out from some sources that he might be transferred to the judicial authorities for criminal investigation. All of a sudden, he was disheartened and thought of suicide.
So, one morning at six o 'clock in the morning, he took a taxi back to his hometown in the countryside. He knelt and kowtowed a few times in front of his parents' room, who were still sleeping. Then, he walked to the top of a cliff by the Yuanshui River, ready to jump off and end everything.
However, just as he was about to jump off the cliff, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind him. "Uncle, can you help me with a language question?" He turned around and saw a girl of about eleven or twelve standing not far behind him. She was holding a language book in her hand and looking at him with a pair of clear and bright eyes. Her face was full of smiles, as if she did not know that he was going to commit suicide.
This twelve-year-old girl was Chen? Deputy Secretary Chen's wife was from the village where Wu Zhongqi's hometown lived. Their two houses were not far from each other. It was summer vacation and a weekend. Deputy Secretary Chen's wife brought her daughter back to her parents' home. Chen Yue. She was diligent and studious since she was young. Even when she was playing at her grandmother's house, she did not forget to study. Every morning, she would come to the Yuanshui River for her morning study. That day, she happened to meet Wu Zhongqi, who was about to commit suicide.
According to Wu Zhongqi's analysis, Chen Yue. In fact, she had already known that he was going to commit suicide, but she was very smart. She neither shouted nor exposed him. Instead, she said that she wanted him to answer a question. Wu Zhongqi was infected by the smile on her face and the anticipation in her eyes. Moreover, he did not want to commit suicide in front of such a young, pure and innocent girl. He did not want to scare her, so he retracted his right foot and came to Chen Yue's side. He asked her what question she wanted him to answer.
Chen Yue? She said, "Yesterday, before I came to my grandmother's house with my mother, my father asked me to recite an ancient passage. There were a few sentences in it: 'Death is inevitable for all men. It may be as heavy as Mount Tai, or as light as a feather.' My father asked me to stay at my grandmother's house for a few days and to tell him the meaning of these sentences when I go back. Because I have not learned this passage in class, it is difficult for me to understand the meaning. I want you to help me.
When Wu Zhongqi heard the sentence, 'Death is inevitable for all men. It may be as heavy as Mount Tai, or as light as a feather', he felt a boom in his head. He suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment. That's right. If I jump off the cliff behind me, it will really be as light as a feather. Not only will it be meaningless, but it will also give me the reputation of 'committing suicide for fear of punishment'. In the future, my wife and son will not be able to raise their heads in front of others. He was still so young, and his ability was not bad. Even if he was sentenced to prison this time, he might still have a bright future to walk in the future. Why must he go to a dead end?
Therefore, he did not answer Chen Yue's question for the time being. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Little girl, what does your father do? You are so young. Why did he teach you to recite this passage of ancient passage? "
Chen Yue? When she saw the smile on his face, she asked, "Uncle, what do you do? Did you run into some kind of trouble? If you really have any difficulties, I can take you to see my mother. My mother is a university teacher. Maybe it will be better if you talk to her. "
Wu Zhongqi guessed that she was worried that he would commit suicide again. She was too young to stop it, so she said that she would take him to see her mother. He could not help but feel very moved. He patted her head and said, "You are really a good child. Oh right, you still haven't answered my question! What does your father do? "
Chen? After hesitating for a moment, she replied, "I can tell you what my father does, but you have to promise to keep it a secret."
