Chapter 807 The Situation of the Construction Site

"Anyway, there are really many things here, I have been staying here all the time, and I was here when it was still under construction.

Although I'm just a gatekeeper, I basically know what happened here.

At the beginning, the progress of the construction site was still good, and the person in charge was still very responsible, but as time went on, it gradually became a bit unsatisfactory.

Later, although the workers in the factory were working hard, the adults had no intention of working.

These people's minds are all on making money, and over time, work here has stopped!

The oil and water inside are not so bad. One day they said that the steel pipes were no longer good, but the next day, the higher-ups allocated a large sum of money.

However, none of the money could be put into practice, and basically all of it was embezzled by those adults.

I dare not say that such things happen often, but there are many. "The old man said in detail.

When the old man said these things, he knew them all, as if he had seen them with his own eyes.

Chen Lin looked at the old man squatting next to him with a gloomy expression.

Chen Lin thought about corruption on the construction site, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

If things are really as the old man said, all these responsible persons should be killed.

"Have you recorded it?" Chen Lin took a few deep breaths, adjusted his mentality, and looked at his subordinate standing next to him, who was recording with a pen and paper.

This subordinate brought the pamphlet in front of Chen Lin and said, "My lord, it has been recorded!"

Chen Lin took the booklet from this subordinate and flipped through it.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Chen Lin came to the old man with the booklet in his hand, and at the same time asked the subordinate to take out the ink pad.

Chen Lin took the inkpad and placed it in front of the old man.

"Could you do us a favor and cover your hands here!" Chen Lin said to the old man with the ink pad in one hand and the booklet in the other.

The old man looked at Chen Lin suspiciously, his face was full of doubts, "What are you trying to do? Could it be that you want to drag me to the police? Let me tell you, this is impossible. What you want to ask I will I told you all, now what does that mean?"

The old man was just a very ordinary old man who had a natural fear of the government, so now that Chen Lin took out the ink pad, he panicked all of a sudden.

Seeing that the old man was not willing to cooperate, Chen Lin took out a few silver coins again and stuffed them into the old man's hand.At the same time, he assured: "Don't worry, we can't drag you to report to the official, and besides, I am a member of the Dianqian Division, how could I drag you to report to the official?

Don't worry, I just want to ask you to do something. This is because it has nothing to do with you and will not disturb your normal life. Don't worry about this! "

The old man looked at the silver coin in Chen Lin's hand, coupled with Chen Lin's sincere voice, he was instantly shaken.

As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts, and this is what the old man looks like now.

"If that's the case, then I'll make a fingerprint. I want to make it clear in advance that I just made a fingerprint. If anything happens in the future, it has nothing to do with me!" The old man stretched out his hand as he spoke. With his right hand, he pressed his thumb on the inkpad, and then on the booklet.

Chen Lin looked at the fingerprints on the booklet, and heaved a sigh of relief.

After imprinting the fingerprints, Chen Lin looked at the old man and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked the old man's name yet!"

"The old man's surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Sancai." The old man blurted out without any hesitation.

The old man felt that he had already printed his fingerprints, so he didn't care about his name.

Chen Lin took a pen and wrote the old man's name on the booklet.

Chen Lin stood up and handed the booklet in his hand to the subordinate just now.

The content of this booklet is the future testimony, so Chen Lin asked the old man to print his fingerprints and asked the old man's name.

"By the way, do you know which construction teams are in charge of these factories?" Chen Lin stood up and asked just as he was about to turn around and leave.

The old man said: "There will be a sign on the construction site with these things on it. You can go and see for yourself!"

Listening to the old man's voice, Chen Lin nodded, and then led his men towards the construction site ahead.

The old man just turned his head and glanced at Chen Lin, but didn't care about it. After all, the old man had already taken so many silver coins from Chen Lin.

Chen Lin led his men into the construction site, and what they faced was a very large ruined site.

The entire construction site is very large, and it can't be seen clearly from the outside. After all, there are walls blocking the outside of the construction site. Although these walls have become ruins, they can still cover a lot of things.

"My lord, this sign should be what the old man said!" A subordinate pointed to a mottled iron sign in front of him and stopped.

Chen Lin came to this sign, quietly looked at the sign in front of him, and frowned tightly.

"It should be this brand. It's just that no one has taken care of this brand for a long time. The self on it has been covered by rust, so I can't see it clearly!" Chen Lin said with a embarrassed face.

The sign is made of iron, but because no one manages it and it is exposed to the wind and the sun, the sign is now very rusty, with rust everywhere on it.

Originally, the sign had information on the person in charge of the construction site, but it is no longer visible.

Chen Lin squinted his eyes and looked at the sign in front of him, trying to see the sign in front of him clearly, but the words on the sign were really unclear. Chen Lin spent his boss's time, but he still couldn't see clearly.

After a while, Chen Lin gave up this idea.

"Forget it, let's investigate slowly after we go back. The writing on this sign is covered by rust." Chen Lin shook his head, and walked forward with his men.

Abandoned steel pipes can be seen everywhere on the ground. These steel pipes are covered with rust and look ugly.

Although Chen Lin is not a construction person, he also understands that the steel pipes on the ground are steel pipes for scaffolding when building a house.

"These people are really hateful. These steel pipes are expensive, and now they are thrown here casually. It's a waste of money." Chen Lin looked at the steel pipes on the ground and cursed in a low voice.

While cursing, Chen Lin walked forward again and again.

After walking a few steps, Chen Lin came to a small building with only three floors.

This unfinished small building is very large. According to Chen Lin's estimate, if it is built, it should be at least a seven or eight-story building.

However, now there is only half of the building standing here alone.

Chen Lin climbed up the small building with his men.

After a while, Chen Lin brought his hands down to the top of the building.

After reaching the top of the building, the field of vision suddenly widened, and Chen Lin had a panoramic view of the entire construction site.

The entire construction site is very large, and there are randomly discarded construction materials everywhere, and there are even some precious machines.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Lin was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"Hehe, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect the construction site in Taiyuan Mansion to look like this, it's beyond my expectation." Chen Lin growled angrily with a livid face.

"My lord, what should we do now?" One of Chen Lin's subordinates looked at Chen Lin.

Chen Lindao: "Let's go elsewhere first, let's talk about it after collecting some evidence. Take away some things that can be taken away here, and use them as evidence in the future. By the way, get back the iron sign we saw before."

"Your subordinates take orders!" Chen Lin's subordinates cupped their hands towards Chen Lin.

In the following time, Chen Lin brought his subordinates around here non-stop, and at the same time collected a lot of things as evidence.

These evidences are relatively large, and they are basically things dismantled from the construction site.

When the sun fell into the horizon, Chen Lin walked towards the inn where he lived with his men and the evidence he got.

Because of the relatively long distance, when Chen Lin arrived at the inn, it was already completely dark.

Because there are street lights in the industrial area, Chen Lin and others don't have to smear and walk.

After Chen Lin returned to the inn, he sorted out the collected evidence and marked it with different marks according to the different locations.

In the next few days, Chen Lin kept wandering around these unfinished construction sites.

After wandering around for the past few days, Chen Lin found out a lot of things.

After staying in the heavy industrial area for a few days, Chen Lin took people to the light industrial area again.

The light industrial zone is better than the heavy industrial zone, but not much better.

In the light industrial area, Chen Lin also discovered a very important thing, that is, there is still a private tax card in the light industrial area, and arbitrary tax collection.

Such a thing shocked Chen Lin at the time.

In the entire new dynasty, who doesn't know that the most important thing for His Majesty today is the taxes and fees of various places.

In Chen Lin's view, setting up a tax card privately is to steal money from Zhao Wen.

Chen Lin really didn't dare to think about what would happen if Zhao Wen found out about this matter.

Chen Lin stayed in the industrial zone for six or seven days, and then returned to Taiyuan City.

At this time, the personnel who checked the new urban area also came back.

These people have almost got the situation in the new city.

In the current new urban area, the completed area only accounts for less than half of the overall area, and this half of the completed area has basically been swallowed up by the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture. The real remaining area is really small. It's so pitiful.

In the study room of the Si Yamen in front of the hall, Chen Lin looked at the booklets on the table, his face was completely radiant.

"According to the current situation, although we can't find out all of this matter, we can already lock down quite a few people.

At least the officials of the Industry Division and the Household Division have a big problem now, but I don't understand, such a big matter, do these few officials dare to do such a thing?This is really unbelievable, the courage of these officials is really too fat! "Chen Lin kept shaking his head, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

"My lord, that Zhai Dafu has confessed!"

At this moment, a deep voice came in.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin stood up from his chair and looked outside.

Xie Yan pushed the door open and came in front of Chen Lin.

It's just that Xie Yan's face is very ugly.

Logically speaking, Zhai Dafu's confession is a good thing, Xie Yan should be happy, not sad.

Chen Lin looked at Xie Yan suspiciously, and asked, "Zhai Dafu's confession is a good thing, why are you still so sad?"

Xie Yan took a few deep breaths and said, "It's a big deal, it's really a big deal. My lord, if what Zhai Dafu said is true, then it's really a big deal."

When Chen Lin heard Xie Yan's words, he became even more puzzled, "What happened? You should explain clearly!"

"My lord, the thing is like this." Xie Yan spoke out the contents of Zhai Dafu's confession.

Hearing Xie Yan's voice, Chen Lin's complexion changed drastically, his eyes started to turn red, and even his breathing became rough.

"My lord, this is the matter." Xie Yan looked at Chen Lin with a serious expression.

"Hoohoo!"

Chen Lin kept panting heavily, and his heart was beating violently.

"If what Zhai Dafu said is true, then the entire Taiyuan Mansion and even the entire Shanxi officials will undergo a major change!" Chen Lin said solemnly.

Chen Lin came to Taiyuan Mansion this time because of his own selfish intentions, that is, to make more contributions through this matter, so that he can leave a name with Zhao Wen.

However, judging from the current situation, things are somewhat beyond my control.

If it came to this point, Chen Lin would be caught off guard all of a sudden.

"My lord, that's the thing, that is, we don't have any convincing evidence. Just relying on Zhai Dafu's words, I'm afraid it's not convincing enough!" Xie Yan said with a troubled face.

"Persuasion? Persuasion is easy to say. As long as you catch a few important people, we will investigate carefully at that time. Anyway, now that we have a goal, things will be much easier!" Chen Lin began to discuss with Xie Yan. stand up.

Early the next morning, Chen Lin took Xie Yan and a few of his subordinates out of the gate of the front office and walked forward.

Not long after, Chen Lin and others came outside an inn.

Chen Lin led his men into the lobby of the inn and sat by the window.

"My lord, the house opposite the inn is the home of Sun Li, the head of the engineering department." Xie Yan pointed to a house outside, and said to Chen Lin.

This Sun Li is an official in the company, his status is not very high, he is just a very small seventh-rank official.

Although the rank is not high, this Sun Li is the capable subordinate of the head of the engineering department.

According to Zhai Dafu's confession, Sun Li was entrusted with many tasks in charge of the company.

The target Chen Lin chose was this Sun Li. If Chen Lin summoned him publicly, it would attract the attention of the head of the engineering department, which would be detrimental to the investigation.

After all, this incident has already affected a wide range, and Chen Lin couldn't help but be careless.
