Chapter 2184 No means no

In fact, County Magistrate Xu and Chen Pingyuan both knew very well that although the matter of Xiao Lei's family seemed serious, it was actually just a trick to target Pei Gong.

As everyone knows, Xiao Lei's family is the model established by County Magistrate Xu, and Xiao Lei's family has indeed developed very well, becoming County Magistrate Xu's political achievement.

Zhao Shucheng also knew that Xiaolei's family was probably just a victim of the power struggle this time, but he couldn't really just wait for someone else's verdict. So Zhao Shucheng thought about it again and again, and called Director Li of the steel bar factory directly, asking him to contact the reporter of the provincial newspaper and have them interview Xiaolei's family and publicize Xiaolei's family as the best village in the world.

  Director Li was a little surprised when he heard this. After all, since ancient times, people have emphasized not showing off one's wealth. Wouldn't Zhao Shucheng's loud publicity make himself appear in the sight of many people?

However, after hearing about the situation Zhao Shucheng is facing now, he also understood the purpose of Zhao Shucheng's doing this, which is nothing more than to expose everything to the sun so that those with ulterior motives cannot commit fraud, thus allowing Xiao Lei's family to avoid this disaster.

He readily agreed to Zhao Shucheng's request, and even claimed that if he really encountered any problems, he could come and testify for Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng declined politely and said, "Brother Li, I know you want to help me, but you can't come, and you should even stay away. After all, if you come in person, they will think you are guilty and even think that you and I are doing something private."

Director Li said angrily, "Bullshit, am I such a person?"

"I know you're not, but those people don't think so. We are innocent, so we are not afraid of their investigation. Instead, we should let them investigate openly. When the reporters come and investigate thoroughly, it will be a good publicity for Xiao Lei's family and the steel bar factory. We are facing difficulties, and it is you, Brother Li, who lends a helping hand out of comradeship. When the steel bar factory's unplanned materials are found, many companies will definitely see them and know to buy them with money. Then, won't you be able to earn more and give more benefits to your employees?"

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your good news."

……

Song Yunping knew that Song Yunhui was going home for the holiday, and originally wanted to go back to her parents' home with Zhao Shucheng, but she knew that Zhao Shucheng would soon face the investigation team.

She said with some concern: "Dongbao, is it serious?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's nothing. Our Xiaolei family is not afraid of their investigation. You can go back with peace of mind. By the way, I prepared a gift for Xiaohui. Take it with you when you go back."

"Okay then!" Song Yunping returned to her parents' home with some worries.

Song Yunhui was very happy to see his sister, but he didn't see Zhao Shucheng, so he asked, "Sister, why didn't your brother-in-law come back with you? Did you have a fight?"

"No, your brother-in-law has something to do and can't come back today."

"Oh, I see." Song Yunhui still felt a little regretful. After all, he was still thinking about asking his brother-in-law to rescue little Yang Xun.

Song Yunping didn't want to make her family worry, so she forced a smile and said, "By the way, this is a gift from your brother-in-law."

Song Yunhui looked at what Song Yunping was holding curiously and asked, "What is this?"

"Open it and take a look!"

After Song Yunhui opened it, he saw that the handkerchief contained a Shanghai watch and said, "I can't take this."

"Just keep it. You need to check the time when you go to school. You can't carry a horseshoe watch everywhere like before."

Song Yunhui declined: "No, this is too expensive, I can't take it."

"Why, your sister just got married, and you don't consider me your own anymore?"

"No, sis, that's not what I meant."

"Keep it, it's nothing."

Song Yunhui hesitated for a moment, put it away, and asked, "Sister, is my brother-in-law at Xiao Lei's house now?"

"what happened?"

"Xiao Yangxun has been arrested. I think my brother-in-law has connections in the county and can save him."

Song Yunping hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, come back with me later to find Dongbao."

Song Yunhui saw his sister's hesitation, then looked at his parents. He knew there must be something going on, but he didn't want his parents to know, so he didn't ask.

When they left the Song family and went to Xiao Lei's house, Song Yunhui asked, "Sister, is my brother-in-law in trouble? I didn't dare to ask at home just now."

Song Yunping sighed and said, "Yes, we are indeed in trouble. The county is sending an investigation team to investigate Xiao Lei's family."

"Why?"

After Song Yunping briefly explained the matter, she said, "Xiaohui, you must not tell your parents about this, so as not to worry them. Later, you can also help persuade Dongbao to go out and hide."

Song Yunhui shook his head and said, "Sister, we can't hide from this matter, otherwise it will give others a handle."

At this time, inside the Xiaoleijia Brigade, Lei Shigen was also encouraging Zhao Shucheng to go out and hide first.

"Dongbao, this time is different."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Shigen and said with a smile: "Shigen, don't worry or be afraid. Our village is different from others. We are a collective economy. As long as our country's political power does not change, we have nothing to fear."

"My brother Dongbao, are you really not clear or are you pretending not to know..." Zhao Shucheng waved his hand and said, "Shigen, there are some things that don't need to be said. I know what you want to say. Isn't it that someone is preparing to take the opportunity to target the Xiao Lei family, so they asked me to hide? I tell you, don't be afraid, I have asked Director Li to call reporters from the provincial capital. With them, the investigation team can only enforce the law impartially and cannot bend the law for personal gain. We are upright and have nothing to fear, and we are not afraid of anyone investigating. After excluding some off-site factors, do you think our Xiao Lei family is afraid of being investigated?"

Lei Shigen was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I'm not afraid of that. After all, our company is operating normally and even paying taxes according to regulations. There is no violation of the law at all."

"Look, the problem is not very clear. If we are not afraid, why should we hide? Besides, if I leave, who will take responsibility for Xiao Lei's family affairs? After all, the old branch secretary is old, we can't let him deal with it, right?"

After hearing this, the old Party Secretary looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Why not, Dongbao? I have seen clearly during this period of time that your ability is fine. The development of the village depends on your ideas. If they really want to arrest someone, let them arrest me. Anyway, I have lived for so many years. As long as the Lei family can continue to be so good, what does it matter if I give up my old bones?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at the excited old party secretary and said with a smile: "My old uncle, please stop stirring up trouble here. You are the pillar of our village. We can't do without you even if we can't do without anyone else."

"You are the pillar of the village now. I should have stepped down long ago. If they refuse to give up this time and you put all the blame on me, I wonder what they can do to an old man like me."

Zhao Shucheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, let's wait for the investigation team and the reporters to come and see the specific situation. By the way, check the account book again to avoid any problems."

Lei Shigen and Siyan began to check the accounts at the brigade headquarters, and soon discovered some minor problems.

"Dongbao, there's a small problem here, how about we change it?"

Zhao Shucheng waved his hand and said, "No, we don't need to change a single word in the account book. If we do, it will make us look guilty, which means the account book is fake. Besides, the investigation team has come from afar, we can't really not let them find any problems, otherwise it will make them look useless, right?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Lei Shigen and asked, "Shigen, are these small problems serious? Can they be related to speculation?"

Lei Shigen glanced at the account book again and said, "This is not a problem. After all, it is just a matter of small expenses, such as the money for slaughtering the New Year pig, there is no receipt, and these..."

After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "These are all minor issues, not worth mentioning. They are things that cannot be explained clearly, and there is no need to have receipts. Let the investigation team check them."

"it is good!"

Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment and said, "It still won't work. We don't have a backup of our account book. If the investigation team takes it away, they will fill in some or subtract something, and we won't be able to explain it. If I had known earlier, I should have asked you to make a backup so that it would be easier to reconcile the accounts."

After hearing this, Siyan smiled and said, "Secretary, I actually made a backup here."

"Hmm? Four Eyes, did you make a backup?"

"Yes, I usually make a backup when I keep accounts. On the one hand, I am worried about mistakes. On the other hand, I also think that if there is any problem with the account book, I will have a backup to reconcile the account at that time, so that I don't have any confusion."

Zhao Shucheng patted Siyan's shoulder and said, "Siyan, Siyan, you are really a good accountant in our village. You have helped our village a lot this time. So, you can bring the backup of the account book later and give it to Shigen to keep. "

Siyan said in surprise: "Secretary Dongbao, you don't trust me?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, but there are ears on the other side of the wall. Maybe someone is thinking of stealing the account book from your house and then framing you. So you and Shigen go back and take the account book, and look at it together, and wait until the investigation team leaves before we talk."

Siyan and Shigen exchanged a glance before walking out of the brigade headquarters.

The old branch secretary looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Dongbao, you asked Siyan and Shigen to leave not just for the account book, right?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "That's right, uncle. Our village is going to send an investigation team this time. Do you think some people can stand it?"

After hearing this, the old branch secretary thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "Yes, I can't help it. Sometimes, people can't be too greedy, otherwise they will hurt others and themselves!"

After a while, Siyan and Lei Shigen brought the old monkey to the brigade headquarters.

Lei Shigen came in and shouted: "Dongbao, this old monkey has bad intentions. When we went to Siyan's house to get the account book, this old man was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in Siyan's house looking for the account book. But this old guy didn't expect that he would be caught in the ocean of people's war. If we hadn't returned early, he would have been beaten to death by those old people."

The old monkey saw that everyone was staring at him, and quickly defended himself, saying: "I am not, those people are all confused people, you can't be like them. I just know that Siyan has two accounts, and he is deliberately harming you, so I went to get the account book and prepared to report it for merit."

After hearing this, Siyan got anxious and said, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't, I'm not!"

Shi Hongwei said, "That's not necessarily true. I heard that this accountant kept two accounts with the intention of harming people."

"No, I'm just afraid that the secretary will offend people due to his carelessness. If someone wants to harm the secretary, they will definitely make trouble with the account book, so I made a backup."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Siyan who was a little anxious and said with a smile: "Siyan, why are you so anxious? I have the final say on whether it is harming people or being kind. In fact, it is very common for you accountants to keep two books of accounts. One book is for outsiders to see, and the other is for recording the real accounts. This is to avoid problems in the future so that you can get away with it. This is a habit since ancient times, and you are not the only one who has it."

"But I have to say one thing, Four Eyes, you have to keep doing this in the future. I, Lei Dongbao, stand upright and am not afraid of investigating the account books. Those who ask you to falsify the accounts, just report them when the time comes."

Zhao Shucheng looked at the old monkey, smiled, and said, "Old monkey, old monkey, I finally caught you. Do you know how long I have been waiting for this opportunity? Ever since I became the deputy secretary, I have been waiting for you to do something bad. I originally thought it was either the brick and tile factory or the breeding farm, but you didn't make any move. I thought you had reformed, but you still can't stop eating shit."

The old monkey said nervously: "Dongbao, I really don't mean to hurt anyone, I just really want to do something for the village. In fact, after hearing about the investigation team, I think it is not necessarily a bad thing for the Lei family."

Because the county party committee secretary Gong and County Magistrate Xu have always been at odds, and Xiao Lei's family is a typical case set up by County Magistrate Xu himself, this time the investigation is probably not only aimed at Xiao Lei's family, and as long as Dongbao is fine, County Magistrate Xu will definitely not personally cut down the flag he has set up. This can be seen from the fact that this time the investigation team changed its previous sneaky approach and went into the village for investigation in a big way. This move by County Magistrate Xu not only shows that he is impartial and not partial to personal feelings, but also reminds Xiao Lei's family, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhao Shucheng looked at the old monkey and smiled. He knew that what he said made sense, but it was also true that he had bad intentions. It was just that this man was an old hand, used to playing two-faced, and could find a way to get rid of his suspicion.

In fact, Zhao Shucheng was just warning the other party. As long as he behaved himself in the future, he could pretend that this person didn't exist.
