~8 min read 1,532 words

The police were all stunned, and only then did they let Su Xinghui in. The miners' families behind them became agitated. They didn't expect this young man to be Mayor Su, and they didn't stop him, letting him enter the gate. They surged toward the gate, and the police instinctively wanted to stop them.

These miners' families were probably in the hundreds. They were now in a state of indignation. If they clashed with the police, I'm afraid another major incident would occur.

Su Xinghui shouted decisively: "Stop!"

Su Xinghui's voice was very loud, and there was dignity in his voice. Those miners' families and police couldn't help but stop their hands and feet, and the situation stabilized all of a sudden.

Su Xinghui said to those police officers: "You move aside, don't block here, let me talk to them."

Behind Su Xinghui, Zhong Yuze whispered to Su Xinghui: "Mayor Su, you must be careful. These miners' families are very dangerous. If there is no police protection, I'm afraid they will hurt you!"

Su Xinghui said: "Don't be afraid, why would they hurt me? I am here to help them solve the problem, all move aside!"

Su Xinghui's last sentence was to those police officers. They all followed Su Xinghui's order and moved aside. In this way, Su Xinghui faced those miners' families directly.

Among the miners' families, an old lady leaning on a cane and trembling said: "You are Mayor Su?"

Su Xinghui said: "Auntie, I am Su Xinghui, the acting mayor of Linshan City who just took office yesterday. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

The old lady said with tears streaming down her face: "I have something to tell you. My little grandson, only twenty years old, died at the bottom of the well. But it's been almost a month, and the city still hasn't given us an explanation. You tell me, should we ask for an explanation?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Auntie, I sympathize with your encounter very much. You should indeed ask for an explanation, and the city should indeed give you an explanation!"

Zhong Yuze said: "Hasn't the city already taken control of the mine owner Shi Changsheng? How to compensate, the city is also studying it, and will give you a result soon."

A middle-aged man shouted: "Control what? Shi Changsheng was arrested, but he still eats good food and drinks good drinks in the detention center. It is said that he is allowed to see women in the reception room. His days are very comfortable, but after so long, we still don't know how to compensate. This is human life, more than sixty living human lives!"

Zhong Yuze's face flushed red: "Don't spread rumors. How could Shi Changsheng eat good food and drink good drinks in the detention center? And women? You are simply talking nonsense!"

The middle-aged man's face also flushed red: "How did we spread rumors? Who doesn't know this? He is living a comfortable life in the detention center, but he refuses to take out money to compensate us!"

Su Xinghui said: "This big brother, don't be excited first, speak slowly if you have anything to say. We will definitely study a proper plan to let the mine owner give you reasonable compensation."

A voice in the crowd shouted: "What to say? What to compensate? These officials, they are just protecting each other. That Shi Changsheng doesn't know how much he sent to these officials, feeding them one by one, so he produced in violation of regulations and treated the workers' lives as a joke. According to me, don't let them compensate, smash their municipal government, only then can we vent this anger!"

This voice was very inflammatory. As soon as he shouted this, the crowd became agitated again. Someone responded: "Yes, what to compensate? Is a human life only worth thirty or forty thousand yuan? Go in and smash the municipal government for them, only then can we vent this anger!"

There was also crying in the crowd. These were the women crying, their crying was heartbreaking.

The crowd surged forward again. The situation was urgent. Su Xinghui glanced at the person who shouted loudly and found that it was a young man in his twenties with a shaved head. Su Xinghui firmly remembered his appearance. He also shouted: "Everyone don't be excited, listen to me!"

Su Xinghui's words made the crowd stop again. But just at this moment, behind Su Xinghui, with a bang, a gunshot rang out. Su Xinghui looked back and saw that it was Xiong Wei, the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Committee and the Director of the Public Security Bureau. He was holding a pistol in his hand and fired a shot into the sky.

Su Xinghui said sternly: "Director Xiong, what are you doing?"

Another voice rang out in the crowd: "Good, they even fired shots. You fire, if you have the guts, shoot us all to death!"

This voice was still the first voice that shouted loudly. Su Xinghui had already remembered this voice. He hurriedly said to Xiong Wei: "Don't fire anymore!"

While speaking, Su Xinghui turned around and faced those miners' families again and said: "Everyone don't squeeze, you will hurt this old lady like this!"

Su Xinghui was talking about the old lady who was leaning on a cane and trembling while standing. She was standing at the front of the crowd. The people behind were squeezing forward, making her stand unsteadily.

Su Xinghui's voice made the crowd stop their steps again. The middle-aged man held the old lady and said: "Auntie Qin, don't stand here."

At this time, someone squeezed forward from behind, making the middle-aged man stumble. He couldn't hold the old lady anymore, and the old lady fell to the ground.

Su Xinghui's reaction was very fast. He stepped forward and held the old lady. He handed the old lady to the middle-aged man, and then squeezed through the crowd and pulled out the shaved-head man who was deliberately squeezing forward from behind. He said: "What are you squeezing for? Do you want to deliberately squeeze the old lady down?"

The shaved-head man's wrist was caught by Su Xinghui. He was in so much pain that he bent over and couldn't stand straight. He said: "Pain, pain, let go!"

Someone shouted: "Save people, the government is arresting people!"

The crowd who didn't know the truth became indignant again. They felt that Su Xinghui was arresting people, and they surged forward again. However, this time they deliberately avoided the old lady.

Su Xinghui said loudly: "Everyone don't be deceived by them. I just saw that he deliberately wanted to squeeze this old lady down. The people standing beside him just now should be able to feel it."

The few miners' families who were standing beside the shaved-head man just now recalled it. Just now, this shaved-head man was indeed deliberately squeezing forward, pushing the people in front to squeeze the middle-aged man. They stopped their steps immediately.

At this time, Su Xinghui asked the shaved-head man: "Are you also a family member of the dead miner? Tell me his name, and tell me who you are to him!"

The shaved-head man's wrist was released by Su Xinghui. He stood up straight. However, how could he answer Su Xinghui's question?

He stammered. Su Xinghui said: "Everyone saw it, right? He is not a family member of the dead miner at all. He mixed in to incite everyone!"

Everyone stopped their steps. They were not fools, of course they could hear that what Su Xinghui said was reasonable, and this shaved-head man looked like a hooligan on the street.

Su Xinghui said again: "Everyone check for yourselves, see if there are any such people who mix fish eyes with pearls among you. Don't be fooled by them."

Everyone looked at each other. In fact, these miners' families didn't necessarily know each other, which allowed the shaved-head man and others to mix into their team and fish in troubled waters.

However, their looking at each other made those who mixed in feel uncomfortable all over. They felt that they would definitely be picked out, so in different parts of the crowd, several people squeezed out of the crowd and wanted to run away.

But the miners' families beside them caught them immediately. These miners' families found that they had been deceived and were extremely annoyed, so of course they couldn't let these people run away.

Su Xinghui said: "Now everyone understands, right? This matter was provoked by them. Everyone think about it, how did you know that I came to Linshan to take office? Did someone notify you to come here to block the gate today? Did someone say they wanted to give our municipal government a look? They want to muddy the water!"

These miners' families were indeed notified by someone that the new mayor Su Xinghui had taken office, and they were asked to come to block the gate this morning. They said they wanted to give the new mayor a "welcome gift" so that he would come to solve this matter.
