The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 198 Adding one more member

The county magistrate suddenly asked for an audit, which caught Zhang Boss off guard. He had no choice but to take a risk and find other team leaders in the commune. He paid them to smash and destroy the county government on the grounds that grain prices were too high and that it was unfair that Xiangyang Team did not pay public grain. He signed a document promising that he would take full responsibility if anything unexpected happened.

He then found Li Dakuan to discuss suspending the sale of grain, hiding the real account book, and making a fake account to fool people. He did not mention the matter of hiring people to destroy things, and Li Dakuan agreed at that time.

At the same time, Zhang Lao Da instructed Zhang Lao Er, the team leader, that no matter what rumors he heard, he should not follow other teams to the county to stir up trouble and take the villagers to the ditch to dig pond mud. He must be seen by everyone so that no matter who asked, he would not know what was going on.

On the day before the reconciliation of accounts, the county magistrate was afraid that Zhang and Li would collude with each other, so he used the excuse that he had not had any contact with relatives in the neighboring county for a long time to send Zhang away. But no one could have expected that as soon as Li Dakuan entered the county government, a group of vandals arrived and beat him to death. He even lost his position as county magistrate. If he had not made some achievements, he would have been doomed.

Of course, these are what Boss Zhang confessed to him, and whether they are true or not remains to be determined.

The subsequent series of grain price adjustments and welfare benefits were also promoted by Boss Zhang. When talking about this, the county magistrate was full of regret and complaints.

The confinement of outsiders was the order of the county chief. When the granary was originally arranged, in order to ensure food security, the warning signs in the swamp were removed, resulting in several waves of outsiders dying here. In order to reduce the spread of rumors, this measure was the last resort.

At the same time, villagers from Xiangyang Brigade took turns patrolling and tried their best to persuade outsiders to leave the swamp.

Originally, Lao Chen and his group were to be detained as soon as they arrived at the guesthouse. However, when the militia brought them to the guesthouse, they had already left, so they chose to detain them when they arrived at the county government. However, they never made things difficult for any outsiders and always provided them with food and drink.

As for the Li family's letter, the county magistrate had intentionally let it go. He could not tolerate Boss Zhang acting so recklessly. Since he was removed, Boss Zhang's attitude towards them father and daughter changed rapidly. He even dared to yell at him at home and even made accusations against him.

Even the current high-priced grain is in the hands of Boss Zhang, which makes the county magistrate even more aggrieved and determined to use Old Chen to bring him down.

Because he understood that if it was someone from the province, they would show some mercy to him, and with his daughter's pleading, it would be difficult for him to refuse to help. But since it was someone from the Fourth City who came forward, he was powerless and could not give his daughter an excuse to shirk responsibility.

Seeing that Lao Chen and Lu Zixuan looked unconvinced, the county magistrate explained again.

Many important positions in the county are controlled by his relatives, so it is too easy for them to control the county. He wants to take this opportunity to persuade all his relatives to step down or resign, otherwise they will be the next Boss Zhang.

Lao Chen and Lu Zixuan looked at each other. Lu Zixuan ran to the office door, looked around, and closed the door.

Lao Chen no longer concealed his request and put forward his own request:

"County magistrate, your explanation is only 80% trustworthy. It is impossible for Boss Zhang to hire someone to attack Li Dakuan. We all know who did it.

Not only did you allow those letters of denunciation to be sent out, you should have also instructed quite a few of them. The reasons for confining outsiders are also far-fetched.

Of course we are not forcing you, we just want to complete the task assigned by our superiors.

the whereabouts of the first missing person;

Second, there is no evidence of organizational divergence;

Third, when we came here, we were almost wiped out in the swamp. Although we escaped, we lost one person. We need to give a reasonable explanation to our superiors.

I will explain to my superiors the efforts made by the county magistrate in leading the people of the county during the famine."

The county magistrate thought for a while and replied:

"Thank you for your understanding. To be honest, I am just a rough guy who has only been to school for a few days and I don't have that much to think about. It has always been a junior who gave me advice, and even the words I just said were taught by him.

The provincial government did not investigate Li Dakuan's death, not because of my great contribution, but because they knew I was not that cunning and wanted to give me some face.

When I first found out that the little bastard Zhang was having an affair with my daughter, I wanted to find someone to chop him up, but Rongzi said that I had to help them, otherwise even my daughter would leave me. I had to wait for the right opportunity to get rid of him, and it couldn't be me.

He said that as long as you promised to help me clean up, you would be trustworthy. He turned out to be right, so I will tell you the truth. "

Rongzi is Fan Rong, a person developed by Lu Zixuan and also the person who delivers messages for him. Almost all the constructive ideas proposed by the county magistrate came from him. He has been serving as a militiaman under the county magistrate.

Lao Chen and Lu Zixuan could see that the county magistrate trusted him very much. When Fan Rong was collecting information in the county, he discovered that someone was selling grain privately, so he paid attention to it. After tracking the situation, he learned the inside story and reported it to the county magistrate.

He also suggested using this opportunity to put Boss Zhang behind bars. Originally he just wanted to remove the two from their official positions, but after an in-depth investigation, Fan Rong realized that Li Dakuan, for some unknown reason, wanted to do something bad to the county magistrate's daughter.

So when Boss Zhang was finding people to cause trouble at the county government, Fan Rong also used Boss Zhang's name to find a few second-rate guys to infiltrate the team and attack Li Dakuan. This allowed him to frame him and get away with it. Afterwards, Boss Zhang had no doubts except to blame those people for being too cruel.

Fan Rong pretended to be a kind person and told the Li family that this was done by Boss Zhang, and asked them to continue reporting, and other things would follow naturally.

Detaining outsiders is the second-hand preparation. If the report letter fails to attract the attention of the people of Beijing, then the matter will be made bigger. Someone will always spread the news of the county arresting outsiders to Beijing.

In fact, most of those stranded people were migrant workers who had fled to the county from other places. There were only a few of them, and the others were all shills. The people who leaked the information would only say that someone was killed because of robbing a woman.

Those real outsiders only stayed there for a day. The agents told them what was going on and then let them go. They then expected them to spread the message to the outside world. How could they possibly control it? It was all an illusion.

Old Chen was somewhat speechless and commented:

"Yes, everything went smoothly, but the method of detaining outsiders is not a good one. It's a bit of an exaggeration to make a fuss for your personal grudge."

The county magistrate hurriedly explained:

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. It's not for me. It's just those two bastards. It's not worth our trouble. You have been to that swamp. Many people died there.

Many people died when the signs were put up before. The province sent people to take a look, but no conclusion was reached. We also reported this to our superiors, but it was either a war or a famine, so who would take it seriously?

What we wanted people to spread was that there was a place in the county where people were eating each other, but as the word spread, it turned into people eating each other.

Although people from the Xiangyang Brigade were asked to patrol, how could they possibly be attentive?

They wanted more people to die so that they could take away all the dead people's belongings. The county arrested people several times but it was useless. "

Only then did Lao Chen and Lu Zixuan understand the county’s true intention, which was well-intentioned.

Without a moment's hesitation, Lao Chen immediately contacted his superior, reported the progress of the matter, and mentioned the matter of the swamp. His superior promised to arrange for geological experts to conduct an investigation immediately.

The rest of the things became simple. Lao Chen notified the neighboring county to change the execution of Boss Zhang by shooting to immediate execution.

The day before resuming his post, the county magistrate gathered all his relatives who worked in the office and informed them of the results of the handling of Zhang Lao Da, saying that he had attracted the attention of the whole city and ordered them to withdraw and would no longer have any privileges in the future, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

As for his daughter and three grandchildren, he did not blame them too much, but just said a few words of comfort.

Someone from the province came to reinstate the county magistrate, and the experts arranged by the superiors also arrived quickly. After exploring the swamp, they determined that the formation of the swamp was caused by the rising water level of the underground river.

The county magistrate immediately ordered all villagers of Xiangyang Brigade to help clear the silt in the swamp until the underground river was dug out.

Fan Rong also made a request to go to Sijiu City with Lu Zixuan to develop. Lu Zixuan was naturally happy to have another elite soldier under his command.
