United states tax collector

Seeing Laurie put down the phone, Sherwood, who had been very curious for a long time, immediately asked: "Lieutenant Governor, what's wrong with Secretary of State Aldington?"

Laurie turned around and said, "Taxmaster David asked me to attend the emergency meeting. I will attack directly when the time comes. Aldington will assist me!"

"What!"

Sherwood was shocked and immediately asked: "In other words, the Aldington Secretary of State was also taken care of by Tax Commissioner David?"

"Yes."

After receiving the confirmation, Sherwood also looked overjoyed.

Because he also knows very well how much it will help them to get the support of the Secretary of State in this situation!

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and prepare the car to leave."

"Yes, I'll go right away!"

While all parties were discussing, KNPR-FM TV station broadcast the scene live, and the interview had entered its final stage.

However, following a question from host Milton, Nevada, which was already shaken and uneasy, started to tremble again.

Milton: "Mr. Lawson, after the Golden Ears Bridge and the Farm Bill, do you have any other revelations about the Governor?"

Lawson: "Of course there is. After I have compiled the information and evidence, I will announce it at that time!"

The Golden Ears Bridge and the current Farm Bill incident were already shocking enough, but now I hear that there are still shocking news.

For a time, one can imagine the excitement in Nevada.

But Lawson didn't care about this. After he walked to the audience, he immediately asked his secretary: "How is it? Has my approval rating increased?"

"After big data statistics, it has increased by 15 percentage points. We are now 16 percentage points ahead of other candidates!"

"Very good!"

Lawson immediately became ecstatic.

According to past records, as long as he can maintain this percentage point lead, when the election comes, it will be basically as safe as an old dog for him to become a senator!

"By the way, Mr. Lawson, the governor just attended an emergency meeting."

"emergency meeting?"

Lawson's expression changed.

Governor's Mansion.

After hearing that Lawson seemed to have something fierce in his hand, Stevenson's fists were so hard that his fingertips almost dug into his palms.

But fortunately, Eugene came over at this time and said: "Governor, everyone is almost here."

Stevenson immediately stood up and quickly came to the door of the official residence conference room. After walking in, he looked around.

At this time, Secretary of State Aldington was already in place, as were the state secretary, state treasurer, state police chief, and other departments.

Seeing that the people were almost here, Stevenson was about to speak out, but was unexpectedly interrupted by the arrival of a special service agent.

"Mr. Governor, Mr. Lieutenant Governor's motorcade is already at the door. He said he wanted to come in to attend the meeting!"

Upon hearing this, Stevenson was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Eugene beside him.

And Eugene showed an innocent expression, indicating that I followed your instructions and did not invite him!

Stevenson saw that it was not Eugene's fault. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then let him in."

There must be a lot of media outside now, and Lowry is also the lieutenant governor of Nevada. If he doesn't let people in, the media will definitely make a big fuss.

Therefore, he could only hold his nose and let Laurie in.

Five or six minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Laurie walked into the conference room. He first looked around at everyone present, and when his eyes came to Aldington, he gave him a suggestive look. .

Finally, he said: "The people are quite neat, Governor Stevenson, you won't blame me for coming uninvited, right?"

Stevenson narrowed his eyes. He had already heard the sarcasm in the other party's words, but in order to take care of his image, he did not get angry. Instead, he explained: "I know Lieutenant Governor Laurie, you usually spend your rest time. It’s early, so I won’t bother you at this late hour, but since you are here, it proves that you also want to share some pressure for the state government, so there is no reason to blame.”

"That's good……"

Laurie was not polite and directly found a seat and sat down.

Stevenson ignored him and said to everyone: "What do you think of the Golden Ears Bridge and tonight's Farm Bill incident?"

"Golden Ears Bridge, the local city hall has dispelled the rumors. There are no violations. As for today's farm bill, this bill is not like Lawson said, it is to steal the interests of agricultural people for political performance. Our network information department , we will strictly monitor these slanderous remarks on the Internet!"

"The Golden Ears Bridge really can't prove anything. As for the farm bill, it's just a question of the amount. Our state police will 'find out the truth' about this."

"Our Commerce Bureau..."

"..."

Seeing each department express their support one by one, Stevenson finally felt a little happier, and he also felt a little more confident in solving this matter.

But what he didn't notice was that at this time, Laurie's eyes were communicating with Tillermans, the director of the state Environmental Protection Agency.

As the lieutenant governor, there are some things he is not suitable to speak directly about.

So after agreeing to David, he found Tielemans. Because the other party was his confidant when he was the local mayor, he lobbied him.

In the end, Tielemans gritted his teeth and agreed after getting Laurie's promise to entrust him with important tasks after taking office.

Although he agreed at the time, Tielemans was still a little nervous as he was about to go to war.

But when he thought about his future, and the fact that David from the IRS was backing this matter, and now that Stevenson was in huge trouble again, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I think that the previous Golden Ear The bridge incident was okay, but the impact of the current farm bill incident is too bad, and we must make a statement admitting our mistake!"

As soon as these words came out, many people at the scene were dumbfounded, including Stevenson himself.

With the support of so many people, Stevenson was ambitiously planning to arrange various departments to eliminate the impact of this incident.

But this sudden remark caught him off guard. He immediately turned around and saw that Tillermans had become furious after what he said.

"What do you mean, Tielemans, what mistake do we have to admit? Are you having a problem with your environmental management?"

Stevenson's words were actually sarcastic. Why are you, the director of the Environmental Protection Agency, talking so much?

Seeing that his face was broken, Tielemans didn't have so many worries anymore, because he knew very well that if this matter failed to happen, he would definitely be the first to suffer misfortune.

Then he said more forcefully: "Governor Stevenson, haven't you watched TV? Lawson has already said that the Golden Ears Bridge and the current Farm Bill are just the beginning. He also has your other major projects in hand. Gua, if it breaks out again, how are you going to solve it? Do you want to drag all of us to be buried together?"

Tielemans didn't even use the honorific title 'you', and it could be heard that he was really ready to risk his life at this time.

Laurie on the side gave him an approving look.

As for other people in the venue, including those lickers who had strongly supported Stevenson just now, they were also silent at this moment.

yes.

They may still have a chance to solve the Golden Ears Bridge, including the current farm bill.

But what if Laurie reveals other information next?

So how do they solve it?

Now these two incidents are already very troublesome. If other more troublesome incidents are revealed, and if it really can't be solved by then, Stevenson will be unlucky. Naturally, they 'accomplices' will not be able to escape the anger of the people. !

It is related to their own interests. Now, even if everyone wants to lick Stevenson again, they dare not speak out easily.

Seeing that all the lickers suddenly became a fool because of Tielemans's words, Stevenson was furious at this time and immediately scolded: "What are you talking nonsense? You really took that trouble." Do you think Xun is God, or do you think I am full of evil and have so many things for him to catch?"

"Lawson may not be God, but maybe 'someone' is!"

These words caused the expressions of many people present to change instantly.

The 'someone' Tielemans meant was naturally not referring to Lawson, and given the grievances between Stevenson and David, David was currently in Carson City.

It's self-evident who this refers to.

In fact, since the Golden Ears Bridge and now the Farm Bill, many people present have great doubts.

They didn't believe that Lawson, a senatorial candidate, could get so much dirty information about Stevenson.

And if these black materials were ‘sent’ to Lawson by David, it would be very reasonable.

After all, everyone present is very aware of David's ability.

Only he could weave so much and detailed black material about Stevenson.

"Asshole, you are fired, get out of here!"

Stevenson is not a fool, and of course he understands who Tielemans refers to by 'someone'.

And the reason why he is in such trouble now is all because of David, and now he hears Tielemans taking David out to suppress him, how can he bear it.

"Governor, Chief Tielemans is just stating the facts. He has no obvious fault and should not be dismissed!"

The atmosphere at the scene was still tense. After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and look. But when they saw the person who said this, many people present were dumbfounded.

Because the person who said this was none other than Secretary of State Aldington.

The entire state government knew that Aldington was not only promoted by Stevenson, but also his loyal licking dog who pointed east to east and west to west.

And now this loyal dog licker actually stood up and openly opposed Stevenson. How could this not surprise everyone.

At this time, Stevenson also looked at Aldington in horror. It was not until a full minute later that he asked in disbelief: "Aldington, what did you just say? What?"

"I say that Director Tielemans has no obvious fault and should not be dismissed. In addition, I also support Director Tielemans' views on this matter!"

It is true that Aldington was Stevenson's loyal dog before.

But now, he also has the handle in David's hands.

Secondly, Stevenson is a great governor, but now he is being treated so miserably by David.

Not to mention that Lawson and Laurie were also subdued by David.

So in order to protect himself wisely, he had no choice but to obey David's orders.

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die but a poor Taoist is not.

"Aldington, do you know what you are talking about!"

Stevenson's veins were exposed and he stared at Aldington with a fierce expression.

But before Aldington could say anything, Laurie, who realized that the time had come, also stood up and added: "I think Director Tillermans and Secretary of State Aldington are both right. Kim The two issues of the Ear Bridge and the Farm Bill are mainly caused by you, Governor Stevenson. You should be responsible for this matter yourself and should not involve our entire state government!"

Stevenson's eyes turned from Aldington to Laurie, but the anger on his face did not weaken at all.

But soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and laughed at himself: "Haha... I understand, I understand... David, you are really good at it!"

Now, he finally knew why Laurie came uninvited today, and why he had the guts to be so mean to him after coming.

As for Aldington, the dog-licking confidant he single-handedly promoted, why did he openly contradict him?

If he guessed correctly, David must be secretly manipulating all this.

Since David can deal with Gavin, Lawson, and even get some dirty information about him, it is not difficult to deal with Aldington and Tielemans.

As for Laurie?

He may not need David to threaten him at all, because he is already the lieutenant governor. As long as David can deal with him as governor, then Laurie will naturally succeed in taking office.

If he were Laurie, with such conditions to support him, he would grit his teeth and take a gamble!

The funny thing is that before this, he knew nothing about all this, and foolishly thought that everything could be resolved by just calling in the heads of various departments of the state government.

Laurie ignored what Stevenson was thinking and continued: "Governor Stevenson, if I were you, I would be decent myself. If you are not decent, someone will help you be decent. But until now Maybe you will regret it even more!"

If it were in the past, other licking dogs would have jumped up and scolded him without Stevenson even needing to speak.

But under the current situation, no department dares to jump out.

Because they have already seen that due to the public opinion outside and the 'rebellion' of Lowry and Aldington internally, Stevenson is considered to be in trouble.

If they are not on the right team at this time, they will naturally be unlucky.
