Chapter 195
Cao Dongyang, the political and legal secretary and director of the public security bureau of Xiaolei County, personally led several policemen to run to the boats moored on the shore of the reservoir.
No one thought that these ships would have people waiting next to them on this dark night! As soon as he heard that Cao Dongyang was going to requisition this ship, he immediately turned red and said that he would not let it take away.
Cao Dongyang said that this person just didn't let go. There was no way, Cao Dongyang had to come back and report to Lu Tao. In fact, where does Cao Dongyang usually have such a good talk, but this time Yandu TV sent people to report on the flood, and Cao Dongyang was worried that he would accidentally become a villain, so he didn't dare to call the shots.
Lu Tao also hesitated, it was really a show to meet the soldiers, and he couldn't explain the reason.
"Jiatao, you go with Secretary Cao and deal with it properly." Lu Tao turned his head and handed over the problem to Li Jiatao.
Li Jiatao didn't say a word, he raised his legs and ran. Cao Dongyang was stunned, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to follow and chase after him.
The owner of this ship is a middle-aged man of about fifty years old, who is dark and thin, but his eyes are very flexible, and he looks a little cunning at first glance!
"Uncle, now this reservoir dam is about to collapse, and there is a big hole in the middle, which can't be filled with a sack." Li Jiatao said with a smile, "Therefore, the Xiaolei County Party Committee and County Government Axe decided to requisition your largest ship and use it to plug that loophole, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Leader, my family depends on this big ship for food, if the political axe is requisitioned, what will we live on." The middle-aged man refused, "No, no, you better think of other ways." ”
"Then why don't you sell this ship to the political axe, you say, how much does it cost?" Li Jiatao immediately asked.
"Five thousand yuan, not a word less!" The middle-aged man replied quickly, he really had money to make the ghost grind, "Also, you have to pay first." "In fact, when this big ship was newly bought, the total cost was less than 3,000 yuan, and now it has been used for more than two years, and it is only worth 2,000 yuan at most.
Li Jiatao didn't say a word, took out a stack of banknotes from his wet briefcase and stuffed it into the middle-aged man's hand: "Deal, this ship will now be returned to the political axe." ”
As he spoke, Li Jiatao beckoned a few policemen: "Go and call more people to pull this boat over." ”
"Nope." The middle-aged man stopped Li Jiatao again, "Five thousand yuan is only sold to your hull, not including the engine." You wait, wait until I remove the engine first. ”
Li Jiatao's face changed, and he said to the two policemen beside him: "Raise prices, extort money, and handcuff." ”
The two policemen looked at the director of the public security bureau, Cao Dongyang, and did not speak.
"Look what I'm doing." Cao Dongyang said angrily, "I didn't hear Secretary Li's words." ”
At this time, the two policemen were not polite, rushed over, twisted the middle-aged man's hand behind him, and handcuffed him.
"Murder, help, robbery,......" the middle-aged man shouted loudly as he struggled.
"Shut your mouth up." Li Jiatao frowned.
The two policemen looked at each other, this black rumbling, where to find something to gag on.
Li Jiatao couldn't cry or laugh, he still had to teach this matter by himself, so he bent down and patted the socks on his feet.
A policeman suddenly realized, laughed and took off his socks, and blocked the middle-aged man's mouth.
Cao Dongyang was stunned when he watched from the side, he really didn't expect that Li Jiatao, a young man, had such a dark heart and was so bold!
To tell the truth, Cao Dongyang's wife was broken by Li Jiatao, and now there are sequelae, it is impossible to say that he has no opinion on Li Jiatao.
But Cao Dongyang also knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to really fight Li Jiatao, even if he was lucky to win, he would have to pay a heavy price!
What's more, Li Jiatao took out 5,000 yuan from his private pocket, and he didn't blink his eyes, it seems that he doesn't take this money very seriously. This also made Cao Dongyang mutter, this Li Jiatao's salary is only more than 200 yuan a month, and the 5,000 yuan can only be made up with two years of salary!
Cao Dongyang always felt that Li Jiatao, a young man, was very evil, which made people wonder through.
Let's just say that tonight, the ghost knows where more than 200 soldiers appeared, and they actually appeared on the dam of the No. 2 reservoir before themselves, the officials and cadres who hurried over. What's even more strange is that Lu Tao, secretary of the county party committee, doesn't seem to know the female officer in the lead, but Li Jiatao is actually very hot with others!
If Cao Dongyang knew Su Erdie's identity, he was afraid that he would jump up in shock!
"Secretary Cao, it is estimated that there are still many villagers in Shisun Village who are unwilling to evacuate to a safe place overnight, so you can send someone to enforce it." Li Jiatao turned his head and said to Cao Dongyang, "I'm afraid that this rainstorm won't stop for a while, and the flood canal must be opened." The People's Liberation Army (PLA) reported that the flood channel has been blocked for many years, and there is really no way to blow it up. ”
"So serious?" Cao Dongyang was taken aback and looked at Li Jiatao suspiciously.
"The water level of the No. 1 reservoir above has long exceeded the warning line, and it won't last long." Li Jiatao said in a deep voice, "If the No. 2 reservoir does not discharge the flood first, and waits for the No. 1 reservoir to discharge the flood or burst the embankment, the consequences will be quite serious, and the embankment of the No. 2 reservoir will not be able to withstand the impact again." ”
"Then I'll take care of this job myself." Cao Dongyang thought about it, and said very simply, "You reassure Secretary Lu, even if you tie up, I will tie all the villagers to a safe place." ”
"There's Secretary Lao Cao, you." Li Jiatao hurriedly said, "Time is very urgent, one thing is certain, that is, the stalagmite village below will definitely be completely submerged, and we can't take any chances!" ”
"Jiatao, you must pay attention to Secretary Lu's safety. The rain is so heavy and the sky is so dark, you must pay attention to safety. Cao Dongyang shook hands with Li Jiatao very formally and said goodbye, "Take care." ”
"Secretary Cao." Li Jiatao reminded him, "I estimate that in another hour at most, the flood will have to be discharged." So, time is running out for you. ”
"Understood." Cao Dongyang patted the back of Li Jiatao's hand hard, turned around and left, very clean!
It was this cleanliness that made Li Jiatao have a good impression of Cao Dongyang for the first time.
In officialdom, intrigue is inevitable, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, you must correct your position and not allow the slightest mistake!
Several policemen pushed the middle-aged boat owner away, and Li Jiatao also quickly ran back to the embankment.
"Secretary, Secretary Cao has gone down to evacuate the villagers in Shisun Village from house to house, and has not yet evacuated to safety." Li Jiatao walked up to Lu Tao and said loudly, "For an hour, we discharged the flood on time. ”
"Hmm." Lu Tao nodded, "The call from the person guarding the No. 1 reservoir just now said that the No. 1 reservoir is almost unbearable, and the situation is very critical if it lasts for two more hours at most." ”
"Don't be afraid, as long as the No. 1 reservoir can hold out for two hours, with an hour's buffer time in between, the embankment of the No. 2 reservoir will definitely be able to hold." Li Jiatao smiled rarely, "With the secretary in person, no matter how big the difficulty is, we can unite as one and overcome it in the past." ”
Xu Lei blinked her eyes, as if she wanted to memorize all the conversations between the two people.
Soon, the GIs and the armed police soldiers worked together to pull the big ship over, let the big ship float directly on the whirlpool, and then fixed it with ropes.
"Fill this ship with sacks." Surdie shouted loudly, rushed to the end of the embankment first, picked up a sack, and ran towards it through gritted teeth.
Li Jiatao was stunned, he really didn't know how Su Erdie's weak body could give birth to so much energy!
"Let's get on it!" Lu Tao's reaction was even faster than Li Jiatao's, and he greeted the officials and cadres who were standing on the embankment in a daze, and then stumbled and ran with the soldiers to the end of the embankment.
Li Jiatao was taken aback and hurriedly followed.
With Lu Tao, the secretary of the county party committee, taking the lead, no official or cadre dared to be lazy, so they all went out and carried sacks back and forth in mud and water.
The power of example is endless, and in less than twenty minutes the big ship was full of sacks.
Su Erdie wiped a handful of muddy water from his face and looked at Li Jiatao.
"Sink it." Li Jiatao nodded.
Surdie took the axe from one of the GIs and slashed it down at the rope that held the ship to it!
The thick rope broke at the sound, and all the eyeballs on the embankment were about to pop out! The power of this axe is greater than that of a young and strong young man, and it is clean and very beautiful!
Without the restraint of the reins, the big ship slowly sank in the whirlpool...... All eyes were fixed on the slowly sinking ship, and they didn't dare to blink, and they even held their breath...... The big boat finally disappeared below the water level, and the water around it swarmed over, bringing up waves more than two meters high, making people exclaim!
"Blocked, blocked......" Suddenly, the crowd cheered collectively!
But no, the whirlpool that has been spinning and devouring sacks after sacks is finally gone. The wind seems to be quicker, the rain seems to be heavier, the waves are higher and higher, but people's hearts are much more calm...... There is a gap in the levee that is most feared, and that will be a disaster for the entire levee!
As long as this gap is plugged, it is impossible for the levee to burst in a short time! With this buffer time, five or six hundred full-time laborers gathered at the scene, including PLA soldiers, armed police officers and soldiers, public security officers, officials and cadres, and more and more ordinary people who rushed over after hearing the news, all of whom had the confidence to hold on to this embankment of life.
Lu Tao, secretary of the county party committee, breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure in his heart was finally relieved. From the moment he arrived at the embankment, Lu Tao had even made up his mind to live and die with this reservoir embankment! At that time, Lu Tao's mood was very tragic, and he also had a bit of fear, which could not be described in words!
As soon as his body was weak, Lu Tao's feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground.
