Chapter 193 Resignation
When Song Ruize heard the news, he didn't find it strange at all.
Even though he didn't like Tang Yichen, he had to admit that he was excellent.
"Brother Ze, don't worry. You are the brother that Sister Huiyin cares about the most. That Tang guy is just a poor scholar. He has no money, no force, and no people. Our Brother Ze has all of these. Moreover, when you overthrow Tong guy, you will get the position of supervisor back, and you will still be in charge of the purchasing office. You will also have a say in front of the county magistrate. Isn't that much better than a poor scholar?" Zhou Jinyuan comforted.
"Do you think I'm competing with him?" Song Ruize looked at Zhou Jinyuan indifferently.
"Of course you don't care about that guy surnamed Tang, but you care about Miss Huiyin. That guy surnamed Tang was so arrogant just now, he even pulled Miss Huiyin's hand. Is he allowed to hold Miss Huiyin's hand?"
Song Ruize walked over with a cold face.
Jiang Qibin glared at Zhou Jinyuan and said, "Are you crazy? He's already upset, and you're pointing it out. Doesn't that make him even more upset?"
"I'm telling the truth. If I don't say it, will it be treated as if it never happened?" Zhou Jinyuan looked innocent.
"The man surnamed Tang is Huiyin's brother. They live under the same roof, so you can't defend yourself even if you want to. The most important thing now is to deal with the obstacle at Tongbaitou. Brother Ze, only if you are strong enough can you protect the people and things you want to protect." Chen Yong said, "Calculating the time, we have to rush back now, otherwise we will be suspected."
"Let's go." Song Ruize said calmly.
At the Baihua Pavilion, Tong Baotou was hugging his lover, Xiao Moli, and kissing each other. Just as they were about to move on to the next step, someone suddenly rushed in. Tong Baotou was startled and stood up to see that it was his lackey. He angrily scolded, "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you not to interrupt me tonight, even if something big happens?"
"Li Dachun and his crew got into trouble," the lackey said. "They bought a batch of goods, but they were robbed before they could even get them to the dam. They discovered the thieves were the employees of Boss Niu, the man who sold them the goods. They went back to settle the score with Boss Niu, but before they could even open their mouths, Boss Niu and his employees beat them up, severely injuring them. The incident became a big deal, alerting Captain Feng, who arrested them and threw them into jail."
"This bunch of useless idiots is more trouble than good. Don't panic, Li Dachun doesn't dare to betray us." Tong Baotou said, "Go to the prison to see him and warn him not to talk nonsense."
The lackey hurried off to carry out his orders, leaving Tong Batou and the disheveled Xiao Moli behind. Xiao Moli came around, put her arm around his shoulders, and reached out from behind to caress his chest.
Tong Batou pulled her hand away and said impatiently, "That's enough. I'm not in the mood for that."
He stood up and strode away.
After leaving Baihua Pavilion, the figure of Song Ruize appeared in Tong Baotou's mind.
Does this matter have anything to do with that kid? If so, he's probably fallen into a trap.
He'd been feeling strange these past few days. That little wolf cub wasn't always easy to deal with, but this time he'd easily seized his power, and he'd shown no sign of fighting back. He'd thought he'd finally gotten scared, that crossing him wouldn't end well, but now it seemed like he'd been playing a trick.
Song Ruize and others had just returned to the dam. They had just taken off their clothes and lay down when they heard the voice of Captain Feng from outside.
"Brother Song, the county magistrate has summoned you."
The dark shed was lit up again.
Jiang Qibin came out with his coat on and invited Captain Feng in: "Brother Feng, it's so late, what can I do for you?"
Captain Feng looked at Jiang Qibin with a mischievous look: "Are you asleep?"
"Yeah, I slept really well." Jiang Qibin said with a playful smile, "If Brother Feng had come a little later, I would have had a sweet dream."
"The master has called your boss over, but not you. You can go back to bed and continue to dream sweetly."
"Brother Feng, my eldest son is not good at speaking and can't talk. You have to help keep an eye on him and come to the rescue at the critical moment." Jiang Qibin stuffed a piece of silver over.
Captain Feng pushed him away and said unhappily, "Do you think I'm greedy? Don't worry, for Miss Qin's sake, I will take good care of that kid. Besides, he's so powerful, why do you need to worry about him?"
"Our boss is just a silly boy, what's so great about him? Brother Feng, you don't know, our boss always has a sour face and offends people, and he doesn't have a mouth. We, his younger brothers, are really worried to death."
"You're a good kid. Do you want to join me?" Captain Feng said, "You're a little thin, but that's okay. I'll teach you myself and I'll have you well-trained in less than six months."
"He's my man. If you want to take him away, you have to ask my opinion." Song Ruize came out. "Didn't the county magistrate say he was looking for me? Let's go!"
Captain Feng took Song Ruize away.
After they left, Chen Yong and others came out.
"Is our boss okay?" Jiang Qibin asked.
"What can happen to him?"
"If we find out..."
"Even if they find out, the boss will be fine," Jiang Qingnan said. "Tong Baotou and a few of his henchmen enriched themselves, passed off inferior goods as good ones, and even embezzled government funds. Who do you think is more guilty?"
"Tong Baotou's methods are very cruel. Li Dachun and others may not dare to tell the truth." Zhang Erzhu said.
"It doesn't matter. Our boss will make them tell it." Jiang Qingnan said, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed and stop standing here."
"Hey, Jiang Shuji, are you still in the mood to sleep? The boss has been taken away by them, who can sleep at this time?" Jiang Qibin yelled.
"I can sleep." Jiang Qingnan yawned. "What's the point of standing here? You might as well get some rest. When the boss comes back tomorrow, if there are any other plans, you'll still have the energy to work."
The others followed Jiang Qingnan into the shed.
Jiang Qibin glanced at the direction Song Ruize left, and finally had to admit that what Jiang Qingnan said made sense, and hurriedly chased after them inside.
At this time, Captain Feng brought Song Ruize into the county government office.
As soon as the two entered the study, they saw Tong Baotou kneeling there, with several strong men tied up beside him. They were Tong Baotou's minions.
"Mr. County Magistrate, Mr. Wen, are you looking for me?" Song Ruize saluted.
"Song Ruize, Li Dachun said you embezzled government silver, causing the accounts to not match the amounts in the treasury. To fill the hole you owed, he bought those inferior iron tools at the lowest price. Do you have anything to say?"
"Your Excellency, this is Li Dachun's excuse to shirk responsibility. I reconcile accounts with the county government's accountant every two weeks, and every time I purchase goods, I also ask them to confirm the quality of the goods. The accountants can testify to this; their signatures are all in my account books. In addition, I never kept large amounts of government silver directly with the purchasing office. I only asked the accountant to withdraw it when I needed to make purchases."
"I had just withdrawn some silver last time and was about to hand over the goods, but before I could take any action, Tong Baotou dismissed me from my position as manager, accusing me of a mistake. The silver ended up in Li Dachun's hands. The accountants can testify to this. I didn't touch the silver, so there's no question of me embezzling government funds."
