Chapter 1214
The car drove thirty or forty kilometers out of the urban area of Qingyang before Su Xinghui found an opportunity. More than a hundred meters away from the house where the embankment guard lived, he stopped the car. He took a few pieces of cement from a pit in front of the car, put them into the trunk of the car, and prepared to take them back for quality appraisal.
After putting the cement pieces into the trunk, Su Xinghui looked carefully into the pit. He didn't see any steel bars at all, but instead saw bamboo strips, which made him suddenly angry. These people were too shameless, right? Building a river embankment like this, could it withstand a great flood?
Su Xinghui and Zhang Bin walked to the foot of the embankment together to observe the slope protection stones. While they were observing, a person walked over from the embankment guard house more than a hundred meters away and shouted from afar, "Hey, what are you doing there? Acting suspiciously there."
Su Xinghui shouted in the dialect of Xinhe County, "We are looking for a place to pee."
The man walked over. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked at Su Xinghui and Zhang Bin with suspicious eyes. Su Xinghui and Zhang Bin climbed onto the embankment surface. He took out a box of cigarettes, smiled, pulled one out, and handed it to the embankment guard, saying, "Brother, you're working hard."
When the embankment guard heard Su Xinghui speaking in the Xinhe dialect and saw that Su Xinghui's car had a Qingyang license plate, his expression relaxed a bit. He took the cigarette and said, "You can go pee in the woods over there."
Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Already finished peeing. Then brother, you go ahead with your work, we're leaving."
Su Xinghui bid farewell to the embankment guard and got into the car with Zhang Bin and left.
After driving for a while, Zhang Bin said, "Xinghui, you're good. You even know how to speak Qingyang dialect."
Su Xinghui said, "I spoke the Xinhe dialect, which is similar to the Qingyang dialect. Xinhe County is right across from our Shangjun County. I've heard their dialect a lot. Even Xinhe people can't tell that I'm speaking the Xinhe dialect."
Zhang Bin sighed with emotion, "This trip of ours is just like doing underground work."
Su Xinghui said, "Zhang Bin, you must be mentally prepared. This time, we have to act like we're doing underground work. They even used the means of framing and planting evidence, detaining Senior Brother Jiang. This is a life-and-death struggle. If we relax even a little, we might end up falling here."
Zhang Bin's face became solemn, and he nodded vigorously, but his eyes became even more determined.
On this road, in order not to arouse suspicion, Su Xinghui didn't get out of the car again. At eight o'clock in the morning, Su Xinghui's car drove to Qingxi County. After getting off the embankment to the county seat, Su Xinghui looked at the Qingxi county seat.
The urban construction work of this Qingxi county seat was done quite well, at least much stronger than the Shangjun county seat two or three years ago. There were even buildings with more than eight floors in the county seat, which was quite good in the 1990s. From this, it could also be seen that the economy of Qingxi County was quite good.
This was not strange. Qingxi County was at the westernmost end of Qingyang City, with plains, hills, and hillsides each accounting for half. It had a similar natural environment to Shangjun County. The hillsides were mainly in the west of the county seat, and the plains and hills were in the east of the county seat.
Qingxi County had rich mineral resources in the hillsides and was developed relatively early, which was a very big promotion for their economy. Their GDP was second only to the current Shangjun and stronger than other counties and districts in Yulin City.
With many mineral resources, there were many mine owners in Qingxi County, and the county seat was very prosperous. Su Xinghui asked the pedestrians on the road and drove the car to the entrance of a guesthouse.
This guesthouse was named Weimin Guesthouse and was once a state-run guesthouse, but now it had been contracted out. The reason Su Xinghui came here was that this guesthouse was the one where Jiang Zhaoyang stayed before the incident.
Su Xinghui parked the car at the entrance and entered the guesthouse with Zhang Bin. As soon as they entered the gate of the guesthouse, a fat middle-aged woman greeted them with a smile and said, "Are you two staying at the guesthouse?" ===== CHAPTER 1216 =====
