Chapter 222: Investigate Together
The next day, early in the morning, Yue Jiandong went to the entrance of the village first.
The sun had not yet risen, and Daye Village seemed to be enveloped in a thin layer of fog.
Yu Guo'an had already been waiting there early.
Yue Jiandong walked through the fog with his daughter, and guilt was written all over Yu Guo'an's face.
"Brother Yue, after you spoke to me yesterday, I went to each household to ask, and it's exactly as you guessed," he said.
Yu Guoqiang had colluded with the villagers, tampering with the accounts when settling them.
For others, three pounds of meat were billed as five, five pounds as seven, always skimming half the amount in the process.
Sometimes, he would even take gifts from the villagers, accepting subpar items and passing them off as good quality.
Because Yu Guo'an was his brother, when he visited them yesterday to probe, everyone thought the two brothers were in cahoots, immediately offering fine cigarettes and wines as hospitality.
