The day passed quickly, and Guo Baode and others worked on the flooded surface as quickly as possible, and got together again after dinner.
It's still the living room in the back hall of the county house, except that the water conservancy minister is missing.
Everyone still has a cup of hot tea on the square table. After some discussion just now, the Lu'an County Magistrate gave two methods.
First, it is better to shift the responsibility to natural disasters, saying that the water level is soaring, the flash flood is too fierce, and the collapse of the dam is inevitable. At the worst, it is a crime of failing to prevent the disaster. It is better to be decapitated than to be beheaded.
But it was immediately denied by Guo Baode. The reason was very simple. If you report it like this, the superiors will definitely investigate. When the time comes, you will not just do what you say, and something will be found out easily.
Second, they jointly paid money to bribe the superior officials and asked the county to help cover up the matter.
This time Guo Baode did not reject it immediately, but after a moment of silence he said, "Do you have any connections in the county?"
"This" the county magistrate hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "Although I know one or two county officials, I am not very familiar with them. If I follow the connections, I am afraid it will not be easy."
"Then aren't you talking nonsense?" Guo Baode glared at him angrily.
The county magistrate didn't care, and said tentatively: "Keke, please remember, the county magistrate has a backer, why not find a big tree for shelter to avoid this disaster."
"I don't have any backing!" Guo Baode revealed: "When I came to Liu'an to take office, I pretended to say this. It was just a bluff in the officialdom."
"This!" The county magistrate looked awkward, and immediately regretted it even more, but he had already boarded the pirate ship and could no longer get off.
Guo Baode ignored him and looked at Lu Renyou: "Have you thought of any good countermeasures here?"
Lu Renyou shook his head: "I have thought hard and it is not easy to cover up this matter. The key problem is that the dam was newly built and there are too many people involved."
"Yes, the new building collapsed soon after. This is an unreasonable suspicion." Guo Baode said: "Tell me, why are we so unlucky! We just encountered a rare continuous rainstorm."
Just as he said this, footsteps sounded outside, and not long after, the water conservancy minister came in.
The three of them suddenly became energetic. Shuili Lingcheng was mainly looking for Wang Shaocheng today. Maybe they could come up with some good ideas?
Guo Baode was the first to stand up and ask: "How is it? What did Wang Shaocheng say? Is there any countermeasures?"
"Don't think about it." Shuili Lingcheng's words made the three people's hearts sink, and then said: "I went to look for him this morning, but was blocked. Later, when he got anxious, I had to force my way in. Wang Shaocheng is like this He only came forward to talk to me once.”
"Then what?" the county magistrate asked.
At this point, Shuili Lingcheng's tone became a little angry: "Wang Shaocheng! He was so shameless, saying that the matter had been exposed, regretting it, and asking us to surrender to the county together with him!"
"I didn't believe it at first, but after further investigation, he was driven to panic, and later he had a big quarrel with me."
"What." After hearing this, Guo Baode fell back on his chair in despair, seeming to mutter to himself: "In this case, it's really over. Wang Shaocheng must have the original water conservancy project materials and related documents. In this case , if he wants to confess to the county, he will definitely accuse us all, maybe he is already writing a letter now."
The other three people heard his words clearly and understood in their hearts that this was inevitable.
Lu Renyou was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. When he thought of the crime and punishment he was about to face, his heart almost rose to his throat.
In a panic, he kept saying: "If Wang Shaocheng accuses me and others, there will be no way out, no way out! What should I do, what should I do?"
The county magistrate was shocked and angry, and cursed angrily: "Fuck Wang Shaocheng! He acted like this, complained about our crimes, and then ran to the county to surrender, just to get rid of his crime!"
"This is using me as a stepping stone in exchange for his life! Seeing that he has a good attitude, the superiors not only took the initiative to confess to us, but also told everything truthfully. Maybe they will be extra merciful and let him live!"
"This thief is very good at calculating accounts!"
This wave of analysis by the county magistrate suddenly woke up several other people. Yes, Wang Shaocheng suddenly changed when things came to this, unless he could fight for his life.
"Dog thieves are hateful!" Guo Baode also felt sorry for himself and deeply agreed with the county magistrate's words: "It must be so! Otherwise, Wang Shaocheng will not die?"
"That's right!" Shuili Lingcheng continued: "When I came back, I analyzed the matter carefully on the road and thought of a plan, but it was not a foolproof plan."
"Oh, when is this? Tell me what plan you have!" Lu Renyou urged, almost jumping.
Because Shuili Lingcheng was the first to know about this, he was relatively calm now. He glanced at the three of them, his face suddenly darkened, and he said in a serious voice: "Kill Wang Shaocheng! Find a way to make him look like he committed suicide in fear of crime. , put all the blame on him!”
ah! ? The other three were startled and couldn't help but look at each other.
Shuili Lingcheng continued: "Whenever a scorpion tiger encounters fatal danger, it will cut off its tail to take the opportunity to escape. Although Wang Shaocheng is no longer a member of our boat, it still applies to this. Killing him will solve the problem as soon as possible. If you raise your hair, you can also short-tail and survive.”
Guo Baode said: "Of course this plan is feasible, but it is not an easy task to put all the blame for the dam collapse on Wang Shaocheng alone."
The county magistrate followed: "Yes, the previous official documents cannot be tampered with at all."
"Then just fake it and get some fake official documents!" said the water conservancy minister: "Let's just say that when Wang Shaocheng inspected the project, he neglected some problems with the dam, which led to today's flood. Later he discovered this, But it was too late, and I knew I could not escape the blame, so I took the blame and committed suicide."
"As for us, the worst we can do is to suffer some punishment. As long as we can survive, we will lose our official positions. Anyway, the money we received before is enough for us to spend our whole life."
The meaning is very simple, it was all done by Wang Shaocheng.
After listening, several people nodded slowly.
The Prime Minister of Lu'an County couldn't help but said: "Let's do it! We must do it as soon as possible, otherwise, Wang Shaocheng's letter may be sent away tomorrow!"
Guo Baode nodded and said fiercely: "Tonight is a good time. Anyway, Wang Shaocheng's family has no defense. Who will do this?"
"I'm coming!" It was still the county magistrate, the boldest among these people, said coldly: "I will let him hang from the beam!"
"Okay! I'll get the official documents!"
"I'm going to take care of other things and try to make it watertight."
The four corrupt officials were so anxious that they decided to take risks. (End of chapter)
