Chapter 297 Is That Good Enough?
Luo Jiu smiled and said: "The two of them together can cover each other and take turns to enter the space to rest.
Being part of the welcoming team is nothing more than shouting slogans and holding up banners, they can handle it.
Do you think everyone is like you? Finding a hard job as a dung carrier? "
Feng Qi got angry when he thought about it, "I begged for this job by selling my misery!"
The two of them ate her and complained at the same time. Feng Qi said anxiously, "When are we going to start? If I have to carry manure for a few more days, I will be exhausted and thin."
Luo Jiu calculated the time and said, "Fu Baohe, we will start the day after tomorrow."
Feng Qi was so excited that he was ready to fight. "Then I will sneak into Ma Youguang's room the day after tomorrow and catch this old guy."
"No!" Luo Jiu said: "People like him should not be arrested secretly, but should be pulled down from the altar in public and despised by everyone.
I want the people of Yi County to watch him go on trial with their own eyes. I want the officials, both high and low, in the surrounding counties and towns to witness the fall of this corrupt official with their own eyes, to make an example of him and serve as a warning to others.
We will use Ma Youguang's blood to cleanse Yi County of the filthy atmosphere that has existed for decades."
Feng Qi asked hurriedly, "But Ma Youguang has been staying at home these days, not even leaving the house. How could he listen to us and go outside?"
Luo Jiu curled his lips, "He doesn't listen to us, but he has to listen to President Luo.
Isn't he preparing to welcome President Luo? I will tell him the time and place so that he can have a grand reception."
The next day, Ma Youguang received another call from the governor of Jiang Province.
Governor Sun: "The latest notification from Peking is that Vice President Luo, Marshal Feng, Minister Cheng and Minister Zhong will arrive at the South Gate of Yi County at 12 noon tomorrow."
Ma Youguang took a deep breath. All his preparations were not in vain. It finally came.
He hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, Governor. I will make sure everything is ready. Yi County will definitely satisfy President Luo."
Governor Sun sighed, "Why should I be so relieved? Don't think I don't know what you've been doing in Yi County all day.
President Luo and his party have been investigating in our area for so many days. Why did they choose to go to Yi County instead of other places? You can figure out the reason yourself.
This time, all the eighteen provinces in the south of the Yangtze River received the order, and all officials, big and small, from the governors to the town mayors, had to report to Yi County.
At this moment, those who are going to far places have already set off.
As far as I know, there is a typhoon blowing in the coastal areas. Governor Tan of Taiwan Province and Governor Shan of Hainan Province are taking boats inland despite the strong winds and waves and are rushing to Yi County overnight.
Officials from half of the country have to come to your territory. If anything goes wrong, it will bring shame to both you and me.
This is a serious matter, so you should consider it yourself."
Ma Youguang said confidently: "Governor, you don't have to worry too much. To be honest, I have been an official for many years and I do have some foresight.
Ever since I heard that President Luo was inspecting in the south, I began to prepare to welcome him.
Now everything is almost ready, there won’t be any mistakes.”
Governor Sun sighed, "I hope so."
Ma Youguang hung up the phone and felt that he had an opportunity to show off in front of everyone, so he immediately ordered people to open the boxes and choose clothes and shoes.
The entire Jiangnan region was mobilized by the sudden news of the president's airborne arrival.
The 17th Division received a special transfer order, asking Huang Qu to cooperate with Commander Hu Fu and to dispatch a regiment to be responsible for the reception and security work in Yi County.
Huang Qu couldn't help but be surprised. Logically speaking, the president's inspection was the business of government officials and had nothing to do with their army.
The security reception is provided by the security corps and local garrisons. Even if that is not enough, there are also the 12th and 15th Divisions which are closer to Yi County. How come it is not the turn of the 17th Division?
He was a little nervous and asked Fu Bao indirectly, "Commander, President Luo will be in Yi County tomorrow. Do you know where she is now?"
Fubao was playing chess with Liuzi, holding the chess piece in his hand, and glanced at him, "I don't know, do you have something to do with her?"
"No, I just can't understand it. How come the security work of Yi County fell to our 17th Division? It doesn't make sense."
Fu Bao snorted coldly and said with a smile: "You want me to give you a reasonable explanation?"
Huang Qu hurriedly bowed and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Fu Bao's face suddenly darkened. "I am the commander of the three armies, and you are just a small division commander. You dare to ask your superior for an explanation. You are rebellious.
"Military orders are as important as mountains. Haven't you heard that? Let alone asking you to do security work in Yi County, even if you are asked to do breeding work in Yi County, you have to arrive at the designated location on time. Do you understand?"
Huang Qu stood at attention obediently and didn't dare to ask another question.
After Huang Qu left, Liu Zi said with some worry: "My aunt deliberately transferred Huang Qu there, which is really too risky. The people he brought with him must be his confidants. Anything could happen at that time. How should we deal with it?"
Fu Bao said calmly: "Let him take his confidants with him. Second Mom's intention is to round up all the related people and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Anyway, I don't care what he does. What can he do if he takes his father with him? I'm not afraid even if he takes a cannon with him."
Liuzi blinked, "What about me?"
Fu Bao thought for a moment and said, "You should wear a bulletproof vest, but don't wear a bulletproof helmet. It will be too conspicuous."
Liuzi threw the chess piece in his hand and said, "Then I might as well hide behind you."
"No!" Fu Bao laughed and said, "I still have to protect Second Mother and the others. I can't hide behind so many people. If you really can't, stay away from me."
Liu Zi gritted his teeth and rebelled. "I won't hide anymore. I'll catch the leader first. Tomorrow I'll stand beside Huang Qu. If he dares to move, I'll kill him."
Fu Bao nodded and said, "Okay, then our battle plan is finalized. You are responsible for keeping an eye on Huang Qu, and I will be responsible for dealing with his cronies.
I've been bored for a while since I've fought. Let's go to Yi County tomorrow and practice some fighting skills."
At the same time, Ma Youguang was also making intensive preparations.
The clothes I was trying on were scattered everywhere.
Ma Youguang was still not satisfied, frowning and complaining: "Old, these are all old!"
Steward Ma was busy running around and sweating profusely. He advised, "Master, these are not old, they are all new materials. You have never worn many of them. They are all new."
Ma Youguang said impatiently, "I mean the style is old. This looks like a local tycoon in the old society. Now it's a new society, small lapels are popular, and that...what's the name of the shirt that General Zhang wore in the newspaper?"
Butler Ma slapped his head and remembered, "It's called a shirt."
"Yes, yes, yes, why don't I have any shirts? Go find a tailor and make me some."
"Okay, okay."
Steward Ma ordered someone to quickly invite a tailor. Secretary Tang came in hurriedly and heard it. He said hurriedly, "Since you have invited a tailor, can you also make two clothes for the students in the welcoming team? They are dressed too rustically and cannot represent the progressive style of our Yi County."
Ma Youguang immediately said, "Then let the tailor do it quickly. Don't be afraid of spending money. I have plenty of money. What's important is face.
When President Luo comes back and sees our Yixian representatives dressed beautifully, she will know that I am doing a good job as an official without me saying anything. "
Secretary Tang said: "Just wait and see, I have arranged two female students who are good at speaking. If President Luo communicates with them, they will definitely praise you to the sky.
Reporters from all over the country have arrived tonight, and tomorrow will be your day to become famous. After tomorrow, the whole country will know that there is a Ma Qingtian in Yi County. "
Ma Youguang was very pleased with the flattery. He rubbed his slicked hair with pride and said, "You two must keep a close eye on everything and make sure that every step is foolproof. I will reward you handsomely after the incident."
For a while, everyone in the Ma residence was busy, saying that they were afraid that President Luo would stay at the residence, so the entire residence had to be cleaned thoroughly, and every corner had to be spotless.
Feng Qi, who was working in the backyard, was so busy carrying manure that the manager assigned her a new task: washing pigs.
"We have distinguished guests coming to our house, Xiaoqi, you should quickly wash these dirty pigs, wash them until they are plump and white, apply soap on them, and make them smell good."
Feng Qi was speechless, "What does a distinguished guest have to do with pigs?"
The steward glared at her and said, "What do you know? Those high-ranking officials have to check the appearance of the food before eating it. How can they eat something so dirty?"
Why can't I eat anymore? Feng Qi complained to himself. I had a delicious meal last night.
She picked up the brush helplessly, looking at the big fat pigs with clear eyes and the stinking pigpen, Feng Qi tried to make a last struggle.
"What's the point of washing the pigs? This pen is dirty, so it's useless to wash it."
What she meant was that it would be better not to wash it, and let her go back to picking up manure quietly.
The steward said, "You reminded me. You should clean this pigsty. It should be clean without any mud. People can live in it."
Feng Qi slapped his mouth in regret, "I made you owe it."
Just when Feng Qi was speechless and asking the heavens, Lu Qingyun found Geng Qiaoju and said, "Take the children to the county tomorrow."
Geng Qiaoju was stunned. "What are you going to do in the county?"
"News came from the county that President Luo will arrive in Yi County at noon tomorrow."
"Really?" Geng Qiaoju was a little excited. "But...but I'm just a village chief, a small official. I'm afraid she won't see me. Besides, County Magistrate Ma won't let me get close to President Luo."
Lu Qingyun said: "Don't worry, I will arrange everything. Besides, this is also...Xiao Jiu's idea."
"Okay, then I'll go with you and take the children with me so that they can meet the legendary great man."
That night, Ma Youguang had a nightmare. He dreamed of four executioners, holding sharp blades, chasing him and hacking at him.
He woke up from a nightmare, extremely panicked, and hurriedly called Butler Ma.
"Is everything all right?"
"No problem, no problem."
"What about the accounts? How are they going?"
The housekeeper said, "Miss Qin is leading the accountants to work overnight and they are almost done. Miss Qin said that she will come to make the final revisions tomorrow morning, and everything will be ready before President Luo arrives."
Ma Youguang wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "I'm still a little worried. Miss Qin has a very good memory and has read all the account books. I don't think we can let her go."
Butler Ma: "Master, what you mean is..."
"When she finishes the final revision, I'll kill her..." Ma Youguang made a killing gesture and said fiercely, "Only the dead can keep secrets."
Butler Ma understood and said, "I will definitely handle it thoroughly."
*
This night was like the eve of a storm, and many people could smell the scent of impending storm.
However, no one can predict what will happen, and they can only be swept away by the torrent of time and enter the dawn of the next day.
Luo Jiu woke up early in the morning and applied dark foundation on herself as usual, drew spots on the wings of her nose, let her hair down to cover her forehead, and put on black-framed glasses, perfectly disguising herself as Miss Qin for the last time.
She checked the backup evidence, took out several important physical evidence and stored them in the space, made a few fake ones, and mixed them in with the piles of account books to make them look real.
No one can tell what is true and what is false except her.
She came to the room where false accounts were made. The old accountants handed the notebooks to her one by one. Luo Jiu sat in front of the window, flipping through them absent-mindedly.
The matter in Yi County must have a result today, but she wants to eradicate all evil and root it out, and doesn't want to miss anyone.
She would not let go of anything that could be traced in the accounts. But there must be something that could not be seen in the accounts. She did not believe that Ma Youguang had been doing evil in Yi County for thirty years and people in the province knew nothing about it.
While she was thinking about it, the maids brought tea and snacks.
Luo Jiu saw the little maid who had eaten roast chicken with him the night before and asked in a low voice: "Where is Steward Ma? Why hasn't he come yet?"
The maid whispered back, "There are distinguished guests at home, and Steward Ma is accompanying the master to receive them."
"Distinguished guest?" Luo Jiu raised his eyebrows. "Who is it?"
"Governor Sun of the province."
Luo Jiu nodded, hugged the last stack of account books, and walked out.
The two guards hurriedly followed her and asked, "Miss Qin, where are you going?"
Luo Jiu said: "The account book is ready, I am in a hurry to send it to Butler Ma. President Luo will be here today, and this account book is very important. Don't stop me. Can you afford to offend the county magistrate if I delay his important work?"
The two guards looked at each other and thought that these people were locked up just for accounting. Now that the accounting was done, there was nothing else to do.
So he said, "Butler Ma is in the front hall. Give him the things and ask him. If there is nothing wrong, we won't care."
Luo Jiu nodded and walked quickly towards the front hall.
