Chapter 551: Three Hundred Taels of Silver Are Not Buried Here!
"I didn't expect your mouth to be so stubborn!" Tang Ye stood up, suddenly tilted the corner of his mouth, and asked Yang Guoliang with a smile, "Director Yang, how did you get here?"
Yang Guoliang was caught off guard by the question...
"I'm here for work, using a government vehicle—is that a violation of discipline?"
Tang Ye asked calmly, "Has the driver left?"
Yang Guoliang's expression changed slightly, and his suit trousers rippled, clearly showing his calves trembling for an instant.
"No, why?"
"Old Yang, don't be so agitated! I'm just asking."
"How can I not be agitated? You listened to the slander of a villain like Ge Yongjie and slapped me with the label of breaking the law and violating discipline. I have lived my life uprightly and have absolutely done nothing to let down the Party and the people. County Magistrate Tang, I know you don't understand me, and I hope to communicate with you calmly. Once you understand my character, you will know how wronged I am!"
Tang Ye picked up the desk phone and dialed Lin Heng's number.
"Is the car Yang Guoliang drove here still in the courtyard?"
"It is! I've been keeping an eye on it! County Magistrate Tang, what are your orders?"
"Notify security, do not let it leave!"
"Understood!"
Tang Ye hung up the phone and pointed toward the door: "Director Yang, please move downstairs."
Fine beads of sweat broke out all over Yang Guoliang's body.
He tried hard to comfort himself; he had to stay calm!
Tang Ye was just putting on a show!
He must not lose his nerve!
They arrived downstairs.
Tang Ye walked straight toward the government vehicle.
Yang Guoliang's calves began to tremble uncontrollably again.
Tang Ye glanced at Yang Guoliang, knitted his brows, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Guoliang's face turned deathly pale: "I'm not feeling well; I feel very dizzy."
Tang Ye looked at Lin Heng: "Is that so! Little Lin, support Director Yang. After we finish our business, accompany him to the hospital for a check-up."
"You got it!" Lin Heng draped his arm over Yang Guoliang's shoulder, "Director Yang, why are you sweating so much? It seems you're quite ill!"
Upstairs, Gao Hong pushed open the office door, walked to the window of the Long Corridor, and looked downstairs with cold eyes.
The Director of the County Government Office, Zhu Kang, walked over.
Gao Hong asked in a deep voice, "What's going on down there?"
Zhu Kang said softly, "County Magistrate Tang and Director Yang had a bit of a disagreement."
Gao Hong's eyes were cold, and he thought to himself, this Tang Ye, looking for trouble where there is none, turning the compound into such a mess—what kind of decorum is this?
Tang Ye arrived at the side of the Finance Bureau's government vehicle and instructed the driver: "Open the trunk."
The driver reacted immediately, a look of embarrassment appearing on his face.
Seeing the driver refused to speak, Tang Ye swept a glance at Yang Guoliang: "What? Does the trunk contain something shameful, so you don't dare to open it?"
Yang Guoliang no longer knew what expression was on his face at this moment.
He wanted to flee the scene!
"If you refuse to take out the key, then I can only force it open. If I do that, the nature of the matter will change. You had better weigh this carefully." Tang Ye's tone suddenly sank, and he warned the driver with extreme seriousness, "Lin Heng, go find a hammer and smash the car open!"
The driver looked at Yang Guoliang with a complex expression; he had been driving for Yang Guoliang for many years, and there was still some sentiment there.
Yang Guoliang had handled some difficult matters for him, but he wasn't about to sacrifice himself for Yang Guoliang.
The driver sighed inwardly!
Director Yang, I'm sorry!
Hardening his heart, he handed the car key to Tang Ye.
"County Magistrate Tang, please don't smash the car! Here is the key!"
Tang Ye sneered, took the key casually, and approached the trunk.
At this moment, many people had gathered around, discussing the matter in hushed tones.
Yang Guoliang, not knowing what came over him, suddenly mustered a burst of strength, rushed desperately to the trunk, and shoved Tang Ye away.
"County Magistrate Tang, what are you doing? There are some cigarettes and alcohol in the trunk, kept on hand for official business entertainment."
Tang Ye had expected Yang Guoliang to be guilty, and he stared at him with cold eyes.
"Old Yang, if it's just some cigarettes and alcohol, then naturally it doesn't matter. However, looking at your reaction, it doesn't seem that simple!"
Yang Guoliang's eyes were full of fear, "County Magistrate Tang, there really isn't anything else. If you have something to say, let's go inside and talk. I will agree to anything you ask."
Yang Guoliang was almost crying.
Seeing Yang Guoliang's reaction, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of Tang Ye's mouth, "You are a smart man; you should know that I won't let this go today. Today, I am going to tear off the fig leaf of the Finance Bureau Director in front of so many people. Get out of my way!"
Tang Ye reached out and pulled, and Yang Guoliang was dragged away, falling to the ground.
However, he scrambled up quickly!
"County Magistrate Tang, I beg you, please show mercy!"
Tang Ye felt his calf tighten, and looking down, he saw Yang Guoliang clutching his legs for dear life.
Tang Ye was very angry and snorted coldly in his heart.
Screw you, he delivered a side kick to Yang Guoliang's chest.
In pain, Yang Guoliang felt stars dancing before his eyes, "Tang Ye, you are pushing me to my death, I'll fight you to the end!"
Knowing that Tang Ye would not give him any chance, his anger surged to his head, and he charged toward Tang Ye.
Lin Heng hugged him from behind, and Yang Guoliang bit down hard on Lin Heng's arm.
In pain, Lin Heng loosened his grip and slapped Yang Guoliang across the face.
"Director Yang, why are you biting people? Are you a dog? That hurt like hell!"
The onlookers pointed at Yang Guoliang!
"Old Yang is desperate like a dog jumping over a wall!"
"There is no silver buried here! There is definitely a problem with the trunk!"
"Yang Guoliang usually relies on being County Magistrate Gao's confidant to stick his nose into every project. Seeing him so disheveled today is truly satisfying."
Tang Ye held a Moutai gift box in his hand and felt its weight!
Then he opened one of the boxes and poured out the contents!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—stacks of banknotes fell to the ground.
The onlookers looked at one another.
They stared at all of this, dumbfounded.
"There must be at least several hundred thousand!"
"Why is there so much money in the trunk?"
"Hey, I've heard about Yang Guoliang's reputation. This man seems very upright on the surface, but deep down he is a compulsive gambler, so he often keeps cash in his car trunk."
"Yang Guoliang's true colors have been completely exposed!"
Yang Guoliang sat slumped on the ground, his face ashen, as if his soul had been drained from his body.
Tang Ye was also quite surprised; he had learned from Cai Xiangxiu that because Yang Guoliang liked to gamble and the stakes were high, he had a habit of carrying cash with him, but he hadn't expected such a large sum to be hidden there.
As the cash poured onto the ground like a waterfall.
Standing upstairs, Gao Hong clenched his fists tightly at this moment, his face turning as black as Bao Gong's.
He had always reminded Yang Guoliang to be cautious and not too arrogant.
Clearly, Yang Guoliang had not taken his words to heart.
To think he would keep such a huge amount of illicit funds in his official vehicle!
Isn't this like carrying a pack of explosives around with him?
You bastard, hopelessly stupid!
