Chapter 732

~5 min read 920 words

The wooden shed suddenly became dead silent. The playing cards in the hands of the four people playing cards stopped. The person facing Su Xinghui and the two people facing Su Xinghui sideways saw Su Xinghui, and their faces were full of horror.

The person with his back to Su Xinghui slowly turned his body. Under the emergency light, Su Xinghui recognized him. It was actually Zhang Lihui.

Su Xinghui said to Zhang Lihui with a face like water, "Mayor Zhang, I think you should give me an explanation."

Su Xinghui's voice was as cold as ice, making people have the urge to shiver. Those few people hurriedly threw away the playing cards in their hands, and stood up one by one with their eyebrows down and eyes low.

Zhang Lihui threw the cards in his hand onto the wooden board and laughed, "Mayor, don't be so serious. It's almost seven o'clock, and we will change shifts soon. Everyone has been busy for an afternoon, playing a few games of cards to rest, this is not a big deal, right? Isn't it over if you open one eye and close one eye?"

Su Xinghui said, "Mayor Zhang, please be serious."

Zhang Lihui heard Su Xinghui speak seriously, and he couldn't help but put away his giggling face.

Su Xinghui turned around, pointed to the rolling river water and said: "I can open one eye and close one eye, but can this river water open one eye and close one eye? You must remember that behind this embankment we guard is our home, our fellow villagers. If something happens, who can you be worthy of?"

Zhang Lihui was taught such a lesson by Su Xinghui in public, and he couldn't hang on his face. He was a veteran deputy town mayor anyway, and he was twice as old as Su Xinghui. Why did Su Xinghui scold him in public like this? Isn't it just playing a few games of poker?

Zhang Lihui said, "Mayor, is it necessary? Isn't it just playing a few games of poker? We didn't not inspect carefully in the afternoon. Nothing happened for so long, will something happen in this moment?"

Su Xinghui said, "Not necessary? The county flood control and disaster relief headquarters and the town government have repeatedly ordered that embankment guards are not allowed to have any entertainment activities on the embankment. Can't you endure it for just a few hours? This piping does not distinguish between time and place. If piping suddenly occurs during the time you are playing poker, and you didn't discover it in time because of playing cards, and something went wrong, can you afford it?"

Zhang Lihui said, "Alright, Mayor, I know I was wrong. Let it be an example. We will definitely not play cards next time."

Su Xinghui said with a dark face, "There is no next time!"

Zhang Lihui suddenly became hairy: "Mayor, what do you mean? Do you intend to remove me from office?"

Su Xinghui said, "I don't have the power to remove you from office, but I will report today's incident to the county flood control and disaster relief headquarters. I don't know how the county will deal with you, just wait."

Zhang Lihui shouted loudly, "Su Xinghui, you are too authentic, right? Isn't this public revenge? Didn't I offend you? Later I also apologized to you. I have also been very conscientious in my work during this period. Just such a small matter, you have to hold on to it, right?"

Su Xinghui looked at him coldly and ignored him. He said to the other three people, "Report your names."

The three people were trembling, but there was no way, they could only report their names. They couldn't not report it. Liu Yongjun knew these three people.

After they finished reporting their names, Su Xinghui looked at Zhang Lihui coldly with a cold face, and turned away.

For such things, Su Xinghui is deeply disgusted. In his previous life, the cause of the breach of the main embankment in Dawan Town in 1998 was that a county leader who led the team to fight the flood in Dawan Town at night was playing mahjong in the wooden shed. As a result, piping occurred, and they did not discover it in time, which led to the breach and caused huge losses.

Of course, piping did not occur on the embankment section directly responsible by the county leader, but the county leader took the lead in playing mahjong on the main embankment, and others naturally slacked off, all sleeping in their wooden sheds, causing no one to discover the occurrence of piping.

The county leader was suspended, but the huge loss of life and property of the common people in Dawan Town had already occurred, which became a fait accompli and could not be recovered. A few years later, the county leader moved his relationship up and down and was reused again.

Thinking of this matter, Su Xinghui felt inexplicable pain. This time Zhang Lihui played cards in the wooden shed, he naturally could not forgive. If he forgave him today, more people would slack off tomorrow. What if piping occurs again?

Being looked at coldly by Su Xinghui before turning around, Zhang Lihui felt that all the blood in his body was rushing to his head. He pointed to Su Xinghui's back and said, "Su, what's so great about you? Running to our Pengjiawan to bully our Pengjiawan people! Stand still for me!"
