United states tax collector
Chapter 178 Forced into the Palace
Governor's Mansion.
At this time, Stevenson's face was livid, and his figure could not help but tremble slightly.
He knew very well how damaging it would be if anything went wrong with this bill.
And now he heard Lawson say on the TV that he had conclusive evidence, how could he not panic.
"Governor, if there are really problems with this bill, we will be in big trouble this time!"
With Stevenson's strong channel resources, Eugene is quite confident that he can handle the Golden Ears Bridge.
But the farm bill affects too many people across the state. If there is any trouble, how can he have confidence that he can solve it?
"Contact David immediately. If he can stop, I can promise not to pursue my son's matter..."
Although Lawson now only says that he has evidence in his hand and has not actually released it yet, Stevenson really doesn't dare to gamble anymore.
Moreover, Lawson has not produced evidence yet. As long as the other party does not announce the matter, there is still room for redemption. If there is really conclusive evidence and is released, it will be really over!
"Governor, when I called Lawson today, he had no intention of negotiating peace at all. This was obviously authorized by David, so I'm afraid...it's hard to impress what you said about not pursuing your son's case. he……"
"Then tell him that as long as he doesn't continue, I can agree to some conditions."
Stevenson was really scared.
After all, his biggest goal is to ascend to the presidency in the future.
But if this matter is really exposed as a scandal, let alone ascending to the presidency, he might be kicked out of the governor's position right now.
"let me try……"
Eugene stepped aside and picked up the phone.
KNPR-FM TV station was live broadcasting the scene. Milton was about to ask Lawson about the evidence in his hand, but was interrupted by Lawson's secretary.
The secretary first whispered a few words in Lawson's ear, and then after leaving, Lawson took the initiative to speak: "I just talked about the issue of this agricultural bill, and now I will tell you about this bill. The stakes..."
What did Milton want to hear about the farm bill now? He just wanted to see the evidence. But seeing that Lawson seemed unwilling to announce it now, he couldn't interrupt directly. He had to suppress his curiosity and be patient. Listened and waited.
And at the same time.
At the Ninglin Branch, Eggbott personally came to David's temporary office and placed a mobile phone in front of him.
"Hello, Chief David, I am Eugene, Secretary to Governor Stevenson. There seems to be a small misunderstanding between our governor and you. I mean, since it is a small misunderstanding, there is no need to make a big fuss. It’s a big news, can we talk about it?”
David smiled when he heard the words coming from the other end of the phone.
It seems that Governor Stevenson was indeed scared after hearing the evidence about the farm bill.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to have his secretary come here to seek peace talks in a low voice.
"Taxmaster David?"
"Mr. Eugene, right? What peace talks are you referring to?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then he said: "Then let me tell you straight, we have indeed offended you a lot before, and I am deeply sorry to you on behalf of the governor for this, and we also know that Lawson is helping you now. , if you can make him stop, then we will definitely be rich in rewards in the future."
"We know that your IRS has recently come up with a god-making plan, and if you want to succeed in this plan, you will definitely need a lot of tax results."
"And if there is help from the top chief executive of a state, think about it, wouldn't it be of great help to you in attacking this plan?"
This again amused David.
Co-authored by You Stevenson When you fucked me before, I never thought about being sorry.
Now that I'm doing it against you, and you're about to get into big trouble, you just want to apologize and ask for peace?
In addition, having the help of the governor of a state can indeed make his tax work more effective.
But after knocking Stevenson off, the one who came up was Laurie, who was supported by him. How dare Laurie not help and cooperate with his tax work?
So I still need your help Stevenson?
Thinking of this, David replied calmly: "Mr. Eugene, where are you talking? Mr. Lawson is a senatorial candidate. I am just a small tax chief of the IRS. How could he help me? I I think you made a mistake."
"Chief David, it's better to let go of enemies than to make friends. Our governor has now promised not to care about the past and how he will help you in the future. It will do you no good to continue. I hope you can carefully consider it again. "
It could be heard that Eugene was indeed anxious.
Otherwise, as the governor's secretary, he would not be so humbled twice and three times as someone who can run amok in the entire state of Nevada.
"I still said the same thing, you made a mistake about Mr. Eugene, I have nothing to do with Mr. Lawson!"
As soon as he finished speaking, David hung up the phone.
"Oh shit!!!"
At the governor's mansion, Eugene cursed loudly, turned to Stevenson beside him, shook his head and said, "He won't agree."
After hearing this, Stevenson said nothing, but his face became even more livid.
Live broadcast on KNPR-FM TV station.
Lawson's secretary came to the stage again, put a document in his hand, whispered a few words in his ear, and finally turned around and retreated.
"Ahem..."
Lawson moistened his throat and said: "I have just given you a detailed explanation of the pros and cons of this bill. Next, I will announce the point that everyone is most concerned about, that is, Governor Stevenson, for his own sake. Evidence of self-interest in signing this bill!”
After that, he opened the document that the secretary had just given him and spread it out in front of the camera.
As the contents of the document continue to appear in the eyes of people throughout Nevada, some people become angry, some become unbelievable, and some are shocked.
the reason is simple.
In this document, it is clearly recorded that the head of Nevada's largest agricultural export company gave Stevenson a benefit of $600,000 because of the profit from this bill.
The details about the expenditure of this fund, what account was reported, what account it was finally transferred to, and the holder of this account are all very clear.
"Fake, our governor is still advocating that this is a bill that will benefit us. Now it seems that it is for his own selfish purposes!"
"Okay, he sold out the interests of our farmers for his own selfish desires. Our governor is really a 'good governor'!"
"Is it easy for us farmers to earn the little money we have worked so hard for a year? Now Governor Stevenson actually deceives us like this. It is absolutely unforgivable!"
Nevada farmers and many people involved in agriculture were angry and continued to attack Stevenson on major social media.
Las Vegas.
"You see, father, Stevenson is in big trouble this time and may really fall..."
Inside the residence, Serena was talking on her cell phone, with a look of horror on her face.
She knew that the Golden Ears Bridge was just the beginning. David must have other back-up plans, but they were not as powerful as this one.
This made her admire David even more.
"It is related to a state's farm bill. The pressure from public opinion this time is indeed extremely huge, but nothing is absolute. Let's see how Stevenson responds next!"
At the same time, various forces and dignitaries in Nevada were constantly discussing and discussing because of the explosion of this incident.
Many of them are even more aware that there is a possibility that the situation in Nevada will change, and they have quietly begun to prepare for a rainy day.
Governor's Mansion.
At this time, while Stevenson was angry, he also felt extremely regretful.
He forcibly signed this bill, of course not for the mere $600,000. At his level, money doesn't actually mean much.
He signed this bill mainly for the sake of GDP performance. Of course, it harmed some interests of agricultural people, but it is not like what Lawson criticized. This bill is useless.
But he didn't take the money and said, Lawson can say that this bill has no benefits, then he can also promote this bill as having many benefits.
But now the documents on how he collected money have been exposed.
Now, the public doesn't care whether this bill has any benefits. They must have preconceived the idea that he received money from the agricultural company, and in order to help the company make profits, they signed this bill that is unfavorable to the lower-level agricultural people.
"Farke, you shouldn't have accepted this money in the first place. It's a meaningless thing!"
Stevenson became more and more angry as he thought about it, and he directly overturned the documents, cups, and ashtrays on the table to the ground.
The reason why he accepted the money in the first place was mainly to appease the agricultural company and make it less scrupulous, so that he could lobby the farmers and ranchers below to agree to this bill.
But this incident has now become a sickle that ruins his career.
"Governor, now we cannot resist the public opinion of agricultural people across the state. The top priority is to immediately convene a state government meeting to unite everyone and all departments to comprehensively maintain stability!"
Eugene did not lose his mind after all, and immediately made a proposal.
"Then what are you waiting for? Go quickly!"
Stevenson also realized that he could not handle this matter, and that he would have to rely on the assistance of various departments of the state government to survive the crisis.
Eugene wanted to turn around and stand up, but seemed to think of something again. He turned around and asked, "By the way, Governor, do you want Lieutenant Governor Laurie to come too?"
"What are you asking him to do? It's not necessary!"
He and Laurie were not on good terms to begin with, and the lieutenant governor was not in charge of any department and had no real power, so Stevenson naturally would not let him come and be an eyesore.
Although Stevenson was caught in a huge public controversy, he was still in the position of governor after all, so after hearing his call, members of the state government immediately rushed to his official residence.
Tianxiang Bay, the residence of Lieutenant Governor Lowry.
At this time, Laurie was standing by the window, looking at the moon with twinkling eyes.
When David found him and proposed to help him ascend to the throne of governor, he thought it was extremely ridiculous.
After a conversation later, although he made up his mind to take the gamble, to be honest, he still didn't have any confidence in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Lawson actually stood up yesterday, and even if he stood up, he also announced details about Stevenson's calculation of violations of the Golden Ears Bridge.
And tonight, the depth bomb of the Farm Bill was dropped.
At this point, even a fool can see that Stevenson is in big trouble, and he, Laurie, seems to have seen the hope of ascending to the throne of governor!
This also made his heart beat wildly.
The governor's throne, that seemingly unattainable dream, seemed to be really waving to him!
"Mr. Lieutenant Governor..."
While Laurie was still immersed in a sweet dream, a shout came from behind, causing him to turn his head. It turned out that it was his secretary Sherwood.
"I just received news that Governor Stevenson called the heads of various departments to attend an emergency meeting at the official residence!"
"Okay, get ready!"
Laurie was about to get dressed and set off, but when he saw Sherwood staying where he was with an embarrassed look on his face, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"He didn't call you..."
"What!"
Laurie was stunned. He was also the lieutenant governor after all. It was okay not to call him for meetings on weekdays, but he didn't have a share in such an urgent meeting?
Thinking of this, Laurie felt a surge of anger in his heart: "Okay, you really think of me as a mascot, right? I will show you what I am capable of as a mascot soon!"
If it had been before, he would have been very angry, but he could only endure it because he was powerless.
But things are different now.
Now Stevenson himself has been exposed to scandals one after another, and the most important thing is that he now has David's support, so why should he be afraid of Stevenson?
"Lieutenant Governor, regarding this matter, I think you should have a phone call with Tax Commissioner David and ask him what to do next!"
Laurie withdrew his thoughts, thought about it and felt it made sense. He immediately picked up the phone and dialed David's number, saying, "Taxmaster David, I just received a notice here. Stevenson summoned all the people. Head of department, prepare for an emergency meeting, but this bastard didn’t notify me.”
Ninglin Branch.
David was not surprised when he heard this, because just now, Secretary of State Aldington had notified him in advance, and then he replied: "If he didn't notify you, wouldn't you go by yourself?"
Laurie was startled, and then said: "Then, Chief David, do you mean... to attack directly now?"
David replied: "How long do you have to wait? It's time. I will ask Secretary of State Aldington to cooperate with you then!"
"What! Secretary of State Aldington!"
Laurie's face showed shock, and he couldn't believe what his ears heard.
This David not only united himself, but also got Lawson, and collected information on Stevenson. Finally, he also got Secretary of State Aldington by the way?
David comforted him: Yes, you should be bold and let go. Secretary of State Aldington will definitely cooperate with you! "
"Okay, okay, I understand!"
Laurie was overjoyed to be confirmed again.
Although David has tortured Stevenson half to death, Stevenson's control over the state government is still there after all. If he were to directly attack the opponent like this, he would be a little embarrassed.
But if Aldington is on his side, then he will be confident.
After all, that is the Secretary of State, the most powerful person in Nevada besides Stevenson!
