Following Shang Ke's car to the county guest house, and watching Shang Ke go upstairs, two plainclothes men drove the car to an unobtrusive place and parked it nearby. This place could clearly see the entrance of the county guest house, and

will attract attention.
The taller person sitting in the passenger seat skillfully took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette, lit it, and then threw one to his companion in the driver's seat.
"Hey, I don't know when this day will end. We have been squatting in Liangbei for more than two months, and the superiors don't know how long they want us to stay." The tall man took a puff of cigarette and complained.
"Hold on, the boss didn't let us evacuate, so we have to keep an eye on it." said the short man in the driver's seat.
"Oh, sitting for more than two months has almost caused the discs in my lumbar spine to protrude." The tall man smacked his lips.
"There's nothing you can do about it. Who doesn't know that this job of tracking people is the most tiring. I would rather catch criminals all over the world than do this job." The short man said with a smile.
"Someone has to do the work that you don't want to do." The tall man smiled, "But if I had known that I would have to stay here for more than two months, I would have asked my boss for sick leave from the beginning."
The two chatted and laughed. After smoking a cigarette, they opened the car window a small crack and felt the cold water vapor falling from the rain outside. They instantly felt a lot more energetic.
The tall man counted the time with his hands and said: "In two days it will be our turn to work the night shift again, and we will be tired again."
"It doesn't matter if he is tired. I just don't know how long I have to keep an eye on him." The short man looked helpless. "You said he is still a county magistrate. What do you mean by the boss? Let us keep an eye on him."
"I guess something might be going on." The tall man chuckled.
"It's unlikely. Shang Ke's background is extraordinary. Minister Liu is his uncle. If something happens to others, it's unlikely that something will happen to him." The short man said disapprovingly.
"It's impossible to tell. Think about it some time ago, two important officials in Xizhou were sacked one after another, and then you look at the top and let us keep an eye on Shang Ke. Can't you see any clues?" the tall man said.
"Ah, from your tone, it sounds like you know something inside. Let me tell you." The short man suddenly started gossiping.
The two people were muttering quietly in the car, passing the boring time. Outside the car, the rain was pouring down, getting heavier and heavier, with no sign of relief at all.
The afternoon passed very quickly. Because of the rain, the sky got darker faster than usual. It was only five or six o'clock and it was already dark. However, the rain that started at noon continued until now. According to the weather forecast

, turned into a long period of heavy rain.
Qiao Liang stayed in the office, looking at the heavy rain outside, with a worried look on his eyebrows. This was probably the heaviest and longest rain this year. Although there had been heavy rains before, they were all short-term heavy rainfalls.

It’s over, but today’s rain has continued from noon to now, and the rain has not been light. Although the rain is not as heavy as noon, it is not too light. This long period of heavy rainfall can easily cause

Waterlogging, especially in Liangbei County, is built along the Liangshui River. Once the river water level rises sharply, the consequences will be worrying.
Qiao Liang was just thinking about something when the landline on the table rang. It was a call from the office, announcing a meeting in the large conference room. It was called by Ding Xiaoyun and all members of the county team would attend.
After Qiao Liang answered the phone, he rushed to the large conference room immediately. Not only the team members, but also other deputy county magistrates and heads of various county departments were also present, including He Qingqing.
The announcement was sudden, but everyone came very quickly. After almost everyone was present, Ding Xiaoyun walked in, looked around the conference room, and said, "Everyone is here, let's start the meeting right away."
After Ding Xiaoyun finished speaking, he frowned and looked at the place beside him: "Where is County Magistrate Shang? Didn't you get notified?"
"Secretary Ding, the notice has arrived. County Magistrate Shang said he was unavailable, so he won't come over," the staff member said quickly.
When Ding Xiaoyun heard this, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and then he put away his emotions: "Then let's ignore him for now, let's have a meeting."
As he spoke, Ding Xiaoyun knocked on the table, raised his voice, and said solemnly: "I just received a report from the Meteorological Bureau. Today's rain may continue until the evening. Through meteorological satellite forecasts, people from the Meteorological Bureau believe that this rain will be short-lived."
The water level in Liangshui River will not stop, so we are facing a serious problem. The water level in Liangshui River has risen to the warning line. If it rises further, even the urban area will be flooded. So tonight, all leading cadres in the county must
When the workers arrive at their posts, each person is responsible for an area. If the rain doesn’t stop, everyone can’t evacuate.”
Hearing Ding Xiaoyun's words, Qiao Liang's face became serious. Sure enough, the worry came again. The water level of the Liangshui River had risen to the warning line. During the day, he was still telling He Qingqing that it was raining too much and floods would easily occur.
think
He really got it right.
"Secretary Ding, if the water level of Liangshui River has risen to the warning level, then do the residents on lower ground on both sides of the river have to start preparing to evacuate?" Qiao Liang couldn't help but chatter.
"Well, I also have this consideration, but the workload of evacuating people is not small, especially considering that some people may not cooperate and are afraid that this work will not be done well." Ding Xiaoyun said worriedly.
"Secretary Ding, this is not the time to worry about whether the work will be done well or not. We must plan ahead and predict in advance. Otherwise, if the water level rises sharply and the flood comes, we will not be given time to prepare. Take advantage of now
There is still time, and I think it is necessary to evacuate residents in low-lying areas on both sides of the river in advance." Qiao Liang insisted.
"I agree with County Magistrate Qiao's opinion." Yang Jinshan also spoke up at this time, pointing to the map of Liangbei County hanging on the wall and said, "Look, everyone, the Liangshui River passes through the city. If there is a flood,
Come down, the consequences will be disastrous
I think we must evacuate and relocate residents in low-lying areas in advance now. We would rather do more useless work than take any chances. Think about it, if the water level of Liangshui River does not exceed the highest level, then it will naturally be
Everyone is happy, but once the water level exceeds the highest level and floods towards both sides of the county, if we do not evacuate and transfer people in advance, we will not be able to bear the responsibility for any casualties."
"Yes, Secretary Yang is right. It is better to do useless work than take chances." Qiao Liang nodded in agreement, "And we don't want to waste too much time in meetings here. We must take action immediately."
After hearing what Qiao Liang said, Ding Xiaoyun hesitated. If he wanted to evacuate and relocate the people now, he would have to mobilize heavily.
After just a moment of hesitation, Ding Xiaoyun immediately made up his mind and said: "Okay, then evacuate and relocate the people in low-lying areas in advance. From now on, all public officials in the county must be on duty, and each department is responsible for
Everyone divides their areas of responsibility according to the area, and must ensure that people in low-lying areas are moved to safe areas. If anyone fails to do his job, I will make a harsh statement here: he will be removed from his position first and then severely punished."
Seeing Ding Xiaoyun suddenly become stern, Qiao Liang suddenly became confused. At this time, Ding Xiaoyun, in Qiao Liang's eyes, seemed to overlap with Zhang Lin's shadow again.
Yang Jinshan on the side touched Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang came back to his senses and heard that Ding Xiaoyun was already arranging the division of responsibility areas. He quickly concentrated on listening.
When a group of people were meeting in the county compound, Shang Ke stood in the room at the county guest house, smoking a cigarette and looking out the window with a worried look on his face. It had been raining for a long time. If the road out of the city was flooded,
, I’m afraid I’ll have to leave tonight
No.
Shang Ke thought about it and picked up his cell phone from time to time. He wanted to call his uncle several times to ask when the person arranged by his uncle would contact him, but he was afraid that his uncle would say that he couldn't calm down, so he endured it.
After dinner, Shang Ke's cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Zhao Hongjin, the director of the government office, Shang Ke curled his lips and picked up the call.
"County Magistrate Shang, where have you been? The county has just finished a meeting. Today's heavy rain has caused the water level of the Liangshui River to surge. The county has decided to evacuate residents in low-lying areas in advance. We have just finished assigning tasks. If you have nothing else
It's an urgent matter, so it's best to come back quickly so that everyone won't discuss it in private." Zhao Hongjin said tactfully.
"Yes, I understand." Shang Ke replied absentmindedly, with a look of disapproval. He was about to leave. Will Liangshui River flood the county seat? What does it have to do with him?
"County Magistrate Shang, are you coming back now?" Zhao Hongjin asked.
"Whether you want to go back or not, I have my own arrangements. What, do you want to teach me how to do things?" Shang Ke said coldly.
"County Magistrate Shang, I didn't mean that, I..."
"Okay, that's it." Shang Ke didn't bother to listen to what the other party said and hung up the phone directly.
After hanging up the phone, Shang Ke put out the cigarette butt and walked around the room a little irritably. The waiting time was long. After only one afternoon, Shang Ke felt as if a century had passed.
I don't know how long it took, but my phone rang. Shang Ke picked it up eagerly and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Shang Ke perked up and quickly picked up the phone.
"Is this County Magistrate Shang? I was arranged by Minister Liu. I will be in Xizhou soon. You drive directly to Xizhou. We will meet up in Xizhou. When you arrive, call me at this number." On the other end of the phone.

road.
"Okay, let's see you in Xizhou then." Shang Ke nodded hurriedly.
Put away your phone, you can immediately pick up the travel bag on the bed and quickly go downstairs.
The moment Shang Ke got into the car, not far away, two plainclothes people who were following Shang Ke suddenly cheered up. The tall man stared at Shang Ke's car and said with some confusion: "There's something wrong. This Shang Ke just seemed to be carrying
Medium travel bag.
"Yes." The short man nodded, and the two looked at each other, almost speaking in unison.

"
Is this guy trying to run away?"
"It's possible. Did you notice that when he returned to the guest house at noon, he didn't ask the driver to drive?
Instead, he drove back by himself. He stayed in the room all afternoon.
It's abnormal." The short man continued.
They have been keeping an eye on Shang Ke for more than two months, and they are quite concerned about Shang Ke's usual behavior.
To understand, this is the first time a situation like today has happened.
Regardless of whether it is or not, hurry up and report to the boss first, otherwise we will delay the important matter.
I can't even afford it." After the tall man said this, he immediately took out his mobile phone and started dialing?
