Officialdom: From village head to provincial party secretary

Chapter 30: Killing Intentions

When Zhao Liming arrived in front of this huge reservoir that was a hundred meters high, at least thousands of local villagers had gathered downstream of the reservoir to carry out construction work.

The scene was very lively.

"Mayor Zhao, should we evacuate the crowd?"

A clerk from Dongshan Town asked Zhao Liming.

"Not for now. Alerting the enemy will only cause panic. Let's find out what the problem is first."

Zhao Liming knew it very well.

Evacuating the crowd at this time is a huge project.

He couldn't afford to be blamed by his superiors.

Of course, more importantly, to catch a thief, you must catch the dirty one.

"it is good!"

Several town leaders thought it made sense.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Liming said hello and left.

"Hey! Isn't this Mayor Zhao? Mayor Zhao, how come you, a big mayor, are here at Tiegang Reservoir?"

Just as Zhao Liming led his men forward a few steps, a strange voice was heard.

Zhao Limin heard the sound and saw it.

Guo Aiyun came over with a few people, smiling sarcastically.

Zhao Liming's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"Why? Village Chief Guo can come, but I, Zhao Liming, can't? The Tiegang Reservoir is related to the irrigation problems of several surrounding towns and is also related to the fish farming plan of my Chenjiang Town. Can't I survey the waters of the Tiegang Reservoir?"

Zhao Limin said sarcastically.

"You, Mayor Zhao, are naturally qualified to conduct the survey. However, I have to make one thing clear: you can conduct the survey, but if you want to meddle in other people's business and interfere with the construction work, don't blame me for being rude."

Guo Aiyun reminded harshly.

"Did you say that?"

Zhao Liming was amused and asked back with a smile.

A small village chief is here to give orders to a town mayor.

"I said!"

Just then, a sharp shout rang out.

As soon as the sound was heard, everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw Yan Kuishan leading a group of people coming over.

As soon as Yan Kuishan appeared, Zhao Liming's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Yan Kuishan?

Even Yan Kuishan was involved in this matter.

Yan Kuishan was involved.

That's trouble.

Because, once the Tiegang Reservoir bursts its dam.

They definitely have reason to find a scapegoat.

Even... the scapegoat is most likely myself.

Now, Zhao Liming began to feel caught in a dilemma.

Because he had no doubt at all.

The Tiegang Reservoir was a setup for him from the very beginning.

"What? Mayor Zhao, have you even got involved in the construction of the Tiegang Reservoir?"

Yan Kuishan shouted angrily at Zhao Liming.

"You are too kind, County Magistrate Yan. I just happened to pass by Tiegang Reservoir and inspected the water resources there. I had no other intentions."

Zhao Liming immediately explained with a smile.

"I hope you are just investigating water resources. If the county finds out that you have other purposes, don't blame me for being rude."

Yan Kuishan said sternly.

Ah!

Zhao Liming smiled.

Simply nodded.

He was now basically certain of one thing.

That is, Yan Kuishan and Guo Aiyun were in collusion with each other.

He even set up the Tiegang Reservoir trap to trick himself.

They knew that they would rush to Tiegang Reservoir for the villagers of Qingliu Village.

That’s why what happened just now happened.

In other words, regardless of whether there was an accident at Tiegang Reservoir or not.

The moment I appeared here, I had fallen into their trap.

They have every reason to impeach themselves.

But...will he, Zhao Liming, really fall into their trap?

No.

Absolutely not.

Not only that.

He also wants to stop their collusion.

"Thank you for your guidance, County Magistrate Yan. If nothing else, Limin will go survey the water resources."

Zhao Liming said as if he was being trained.

"get out!"

Yan Kuishan looked very disgusted.

In fact, it's telling everyone.

He is not familiar with Zhao Liming.

Even disgusted.

"go!"

Zhao Liming greeted the people around him and turned to leave.

The leaders of Dongshan Town who were around him wiped their sweat and hurriedly followed.

Even the county magistrate got involved.

What to do next?

If things go wrong, they may even lose their jobs.

"Are you ready?"

Watching Zhao Liming leave, Yan Kuishan's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he asked in a cold voice.

"Don't worry, County Magistrate Yan. The plan has already started since Zhao Liming arrived here. Tonight, County Magistrate Yan, just wait and watch the show! No, I should say, you and I should wait for promotion!"

Guo Aiyun smiled evilly with a hideous look on his face.

"it is good!"

Yan Kuishan clenched his fists.

This was the moment he had been waiting for.

This happened tonight.

As the county magistrate, he is destined to be promoted.

As for Zhao Limin.

Completely take the blame for this.

Even never recover from it.

He was controlled by Guo Aiyun.

……

"Mayor Zhao, what should we do next?"

As the people walked away, several leaders of Dongshan Town began to get nervous and couldn't help but look at Zhao Liming, obviously wanting to retreat.

"Are you afraid?"

Zhao Limin asked.

"I……"

Several town leaders lowered their heads.

"If you are scared, you can leave at any time. But you'd better think about your skin. If the reservoir bursts, the people of more than a dozen villages and thousands of lives will be at risk."

"He, Yan Kuishan, is the head of a county, and he can be rich but unkind. What about you? Do you want to be like him?"

"For your own advancement, you watched thousands of lives die before your eyes?"

Zhao Liming completely saw through what kind of person Yan Kuishan was.

But he definitely doesn't want that.

At this time, even the clerks in the town were of the same kind as him.

"Mayor Zhao, you don't have to say anything. We trust you, so just tell us the truth! Whatever you want us to do, we will fight you to the end even if it means risking our lives."

The leading clerk gritted his teeth and said.

"it is good!"

Only then did Zhao Liming nod with satisfaction.

"I suspect that the intention of County Chief Yan and his gang to gather villagers to build a reservoir was fake. Their real purpose was to cause the reservoir to burst and profit from it so that they could get promoted."

The reason why Zhao Liming didn't say these words before.

It's simple, he can't be sure who is behind it.

But now, he basically knew who was standing behind Guo Aiyun.

So, I told the truth directly to several clerks.

"what?"

After these words were spoken, several clerks were completely stunned.

Let the reservoir burst?

So that they can be promoted?

They know how many villages there are below the reservoir.

How many people?

"Next, what we have to do is to secretly observe their every move and stop their conspiracy at all costs, provided that we do not alert them."

Zhao Liming's eyes were filled with murderous intent at this moment.
