Chapter 250 Gambling?
He Changlin had no choice but to take them over with a look of regret.
However, after running through several villages, the grain was intact, and County Chief Zhang was a little mentally broken.
There must be something wrong, it is impossible that there is no burnt grain!
He suddenly pointed at He Changlin and said, "Secretary He, you are not going to move all the grain from other villages here to cover up your mistake? Your behavior is wrong!"
He Changlin was a little helpless, "County Chief Zhang, you are so sure that our grain is burnt, people who don't know will really think that you saw our grain burnt!"
County Magistrate Zhang hurriedly protested to the mayor: "Mayor, as a county magistrate, there is no way I could do such a thing! The news of the grain being burned in Qushui County has spread like wildfire, and everyone knows about it."
Yuan Xiao said cunningly: "You also said that it was a rumor, and rumors stop at the wise. No wonder County Magistrate Zhang doesn't seem very smart. How can he govern a place like this?"
"What do you know, you little girl?" County Magistrate Zhang said angrily, "Mayor, I strongly request that we visit every village and we will definitely find an empty granary!"
He Changlin looked as if he was insulted and said righteously, "As long as the mayor and County Magistrate Zhang don't mind the trouble, I can take you both on a trip. These grains belong to the villagers and the names of each household are on them. County Magistrate Zhang can write them down one by one, so that they won't say that we tampered with them."
County Magistrate Zhang thought that he was just retreating to advance, and he really wrote down the names one by one, wishing that he could find the same name in the next place.
After that, they visited several villages and the granaries were full, without any problems.
Until County Magistrate Zhang collapsed even more.
"Open the bags. I want to see if there is food inside!"
He Changlin looked panicked and stood in front: "County Mayor Zhang, this is an insult to our Qushui County. How could we deceive the mayor?"
County Mayor Zhang became excited. This time he would definitely catch his little braid!
"Secretary He, you are not feeling guilty, are you?"
He Changlin stiffened his neck: "Why should I feel guilty!"
County Mayor Zhang held his head high and puffed out his chest, "Because there is no food inside!"
His determination made the villagers doubt themselves. Was the food replaced? How could there not be food inside? When
County Mayor Zhang saw the expressions of the villagers, he laughed in his heart and admired his own intelligence!
He Changlin looked humiliated: "You have repeatedly doubted our Qushui County. There is no reason for me to agree to everything. County Mayor Zhang, we are the local officials, not playing house!"
County Mayor Zhang snorted, "If I am wrong today, I will resign to the mayor! What do you think, Secretary He, do you dare to bet with me?"
He Changlin hesitated for a moment: "Really?"
The mayor also asked: "County Mayor Zhang, this is not a joke."
County Mayor Zhang looked confident: "I am not joking, I really can't stand it. Secretary He deceived the mayor like this, this behavior should be condemned!"
The mayor nodded, "Okay, then open the bag and take a look!"
The villagers hesitated for a moment, got He Changlin's approval, and still obediently opened the bag.
County Governor Zhang's smile gradually disappeared until his face turned gloomy.
He looked at the food in front of him in disbelief. How could it be possible!
"This, this is impossible!"
He Changlin laughed, "How can it be impossible! I have said it so many times, our food is not burnt at all, but County Governor Zhang just doesn't believe it!"
County Governor Zhang looked at the mayor and pleaded: "Mayor..."
The mayor's face was a little cold, "I am willing to admit defeat. But even if you don't admit defeat, I will make you admit defeat."
County Governor Zhang's face was ashen, and he stared at He Changlin with sinister eyes.
It must be He Changlin's trick! He was fooled.
The way back was much quieter because County Governor Zhang was in no mood to talk.
As soon as the group got off the car, they saw a woman rushing towards them and kneeling in front of the mayor.
"Grandpa, please help us!"
Yuan Xiao narrowed his eyes. This was Zhong Li's aunt.
She was not involved in drug trafficking? Yuan Xiao was surprised.
But he soon thought clearly. It was estimated that her husband would not dare to tell her. With the character of Zhong Li's aunt, if she participated in crime, it would be exposed soon.
"Xiao Liu, help this comrade up." The mayor said to the secretary beside him.
The aunt struggled, "No, I can't get up, please help us!"
He Changlin also recognized her. She had caused a lot of trouble in front of the Public Security Bureau and the government.
He whispered in the mayor's ear: "This is a villager from Dalan Village. Almost all of her family members participated in the crime and are now in jail. The people who set fire to the grain this time are also from Dalan Village."
The mayor's face darkened, "Since you like to kneel, then kneel down and talk."
After all, the money you use to live is dirty!
The eldest aunt cried out to the sky, and her voice stopped when she heard the mayor's words.
She stood up embarrassedly, "I'd better stand and talk."
"Master, my Erdan was instructed by someone!"
The mayor looked at her: "What was instructed by someone?"
The eldest aunt pulled her sleeves awkwardly and stammered: "It's, it's about setting fire to the grain."
There were already many people watching the show around, and they were all shocked when they heard her words.
"It turned out that they set the fire!"
"This is too vicious, those grains are our lifeblood!"
"The people in Dalan Village are really bad!"
"Don't dare to associate with them in the future, you don't know if they will kill you one day!"
"These people should dare to leave Qushui County!"
"Yes! Get out of Qushui County!"
The aunt was panicked when she heard this. If she had known, she would not have come. She was almost scared to death.
The mayor said gently: "Don't be afraid first, tell me, who ordered it?"
The eldest aunt seemed to be encouraged by the mayor, and she closed her eyes and said, "It was Yuanxiao!"
Yuanxiao looked innocent, and was inexplicably called out.
The mayor asked again, "Who is Ergou in your family?"
The eldest aunt said, "He is my cousin. We all rely on him for support, and we can't let him go to jail again! Master, you have to make the decision for us!"
"Then...how do you know that it was Yuanxiao who ordered Ergou?"
The eldest aunt lowered her head in panic. How should she answer this question if she hadn't said it before!
"Yes, I saw it! I saw Yuanxiao come to find my Ergou with my own eyes."
Yuanxiao suddenly realized, "So you have seen Yuanxiao, right?"
