Wang Chengzhe will pay a 50% deposit to Liu Chengan and sign the relevant agreement.
Liu Chengan held a mobilization meeting at the cement factory and started building a cement road from Liaozhou City to Liaoshan County.
The news was deliberately amplified by the Wang family in Liaoshan, causing the families and people in one city and three counties to know about it.
Fang Yuan will naturally not prevent this kind of thing from happening. For him, Liaoshan County's political achievements are also his political achievements.
On this day, Huang Shancong came to report.
"Sir, there was a coal theft incident in the coal mine, and two to three hundred kilograms of coal were lost from the coal pile."
"And there are people who secretly mined our coal from other places, probably taking away thousands to tens of thousands of kilograms."
Huangshan Cong respectfully reports.
The coal mine has not yet been built, and the coal from Wudong Mountain is piled at the foot of Wudong Mountain.
And because of the immature mining technology, Huang Shancong did not dare to mine quickly. He almost mined as much as he wanted, so there was not much coal piled at the foot of Wudong Mountain.
Therefore, it is easy to detect that some coal is missing. Then Huang Shancong began to inspect and found that someone was digging coal mines from another part of Wudong Mountain.
Wudong Mountain is very big. Huang Shancong initially thought it was just a thief stealing coal but did not report it. Then he found that someone was digging coal from another place, so he reported it to Fang Yuan.
Although the two incidents are both stealing coal, the nature is very different.
"Someone stole coal?!"
"When did it start?"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
Many people already know about the existence of coal mines.
Because of the promotion of briquettes, more and more people know about the use of coal.
But for most people, they need relatively little coal, almost only for heating.
Firewood is used to make fires and cook meals. After all, firewood is free and there are trees all over the mountain, so there is an inexhaustible supply.
For a small number of people, it must be used for large-scale forging. Just dig coal secretly. Why dig and secretly increase the risk of being discovered?
Is it because you didn’t steal enough, so you have to dig it yourself?
"About three or four days ago."
Huang Shancong was unsure.
"Keep staring."
Fang Yuan's face darkened and he thought of a possibility.
He still remembered what Xue Jiaoyan mentioned a few days ago, about stealing coal.
I'm just not sure if it is. If so, it would be too stupid to tell myself in advance to steal coal.
"Okay."
Huang Shancong left.
"Zheng Jiu, go see what the Xue brothers and sisters are doing?"
Fang Yuan ordered Zheng Jiu beside him.
"Yes."
Zheng Jiu took a few people and left.
After about half an hour, only Zheng Jiu came back.
"Zun Zhou, I found a batch of coal at the home of the Xue brothers and sisters, and saw that they were imitating briquettes."
"The person I brought was discovered by Xue Bowu and knocked unconscious by him. Please ask the state minister for instructions."
Zheng Jiu breathed heavily, blushed slightly, and said awkwardly.
This was a bad start. Even though we brought experts there, we were still discovered.
It doesn't matter if you were discovered. The key is that you were knocked unconscious without even a chance to escape.
Even he was discovered and escaped after receiving a punch. Now he feels uncomfortable all over.
"Zheng Jiu, what do you think of Xue Bowu?"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly and thought for a moment before speaking.
Fang Yuan had already speculated that the coal was stolen by the Xue siblings, so he was not shocked.
But none of the people Zheng Jiu brought could come back, which was what surprised Fang Yuan.
Zheng Jiu is a master among the three hundred state officials, the top batch. The ones who went there were well selected, but they couldn't come back.
Fang Yuan already felt that Xue Bowu was very strong, but now he felt that he still underestimated him.
"For a fool, brute force is terrible."
Zheng Jiu was stunned for a moment, then said angrily.
He and Xue Bowu fought twice, once at the development meeting and once just now.
This is the first time I underestimated the enemy, so it’s hard to evaluate how powerful Xue Bowu is.
But just now he was serious, but still failed. Xue Bowu was stronger than he imagined.
"Send someone to the Royal Commercial Bank to ask if Du Miaoyan is there. If she is, tell her that I will go find her later. If she is not, forget it."
"Gather a few more experts and go with me again."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Xue Bowu is a master, he should be classified as a super master.
Even Zheng Jiu is not his opponent, and there is a high probability that no one in the Fang Mansion guards is his opponent.
If we can get Xue Bowu into our pocket, it will be a great help.
"Yes."
Zheng Jiu, go down quickly.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the carriage was ready and Fang Yuan set off. He first went to the Royal Merchant House and picked up Du Miaoyan to get on the carriage.
"Fang Yuan, what happened?"
Du Miaoyan asked eagerly.
After she learned what Fang Yuan meant, she stopped what she was doing and waited for Fang Yuan.
But the thing in her hand is not very important, it is to reply to Wang Shiyu.
Since Wang Shiyu left, a letter has been sent to her every three days.
"I discovered that the Xue brothers and sisters were stealing coal."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
He felt that it must be the Xue siblings who stole the coal.
But digging here secretly, Fang Yuan is not sure if it is the other party.
"Ah?"
"Does this kind of thing require you to come to the door in person?"
Du Miaoyan was a little speechless.
I thought it was something important, but I didn't expect it to be a theft.
Fang Yuan also does this kind of thing himself, so if he doesn’t tell anyone about his hard work, the people below won’t have a chance to express it.
"This is a secondary reason."
"I wonder if I can use this incident to conquer their siblings."
"Xue Bowu is very powerful. If he can be used for me, it will be a big help."
Fang Yuan explained.
There are many masters around him, but there are no very powerful masters.
But people like Du Miaoyan, people like Li Junxian, people like Xue Bowu, no.
Pei Yinghua once said that all the Pei family heirs may regard him as a stepping stone.
If this is really the case, it will be a very dangerous thing and requires the protection of super experts.
"That's it."
"If you can accept it, that would be really good."
Du Miaoyan suddenly realized.
Suddenly, I felt that Fang Yuan was so wise that he actually thought of conquering their siblings.
The carriage moved forward quickly, and it didn't take long for Fang Yuan and others to arrive at the Xue family's residence.
At this time, the door to the Xue family's residence was closed, and it was closed in broad daylight.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Bump away."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
Zheng Jiu and others immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door with brute force.
With a bang, the door was knocked open, and a sense of obsolescence came to my face.
The mansion of the Xue family looks quite old, but everything is quite clean.
"What?"
"What?"
"Who dares to break into my house?"
Xue Jiaoyan's voice sounded at this time.
Then Fang Yuan and others saw Xue Jiaoyan running out, followed closely by Xue Bowu.
As soon as they appeared, Fang Yuan and others' expressions became strange.
Not only were the siblings' clothes dirty, but their faces were dark here and there.
At this time, water flowed from Xue Jiaoyan's nose, and she wiped it off with her black hands, causing her nose to turn black.
"Xue Jiaoyan, you dare to steal my coal, are you guilty of this?"
Fang Yuan became serious, with a straight face, and said in a deep voice.
"You fart!"
"Which of your eyes saw me stealing your coal?"
Xue Jiaoyan took a breath, put her hands on her hips and said.
"Which eye?"
"You siblings look at each other and see which eye it is?"
Fang Yuan sneered.
Xue Jiaoyan was puzzled, but she still looked at Xue Bowu.
"Brother, your face is so dirty."
"Sister, your face is so dirty."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Jiaoyan felt something was wrong and quickly covered her face with her hands.
"This, this, this is ashes, yes, this is ashes!"
Xue Jiaoyan rolled her eyes and refused to admit it.
"Grey?"
"Xue Jiaoyan, do you know how long the sentence for stealing is?"
"You still hurt the person who killed me, you have taken the courage of a bear and a leopard."
Fang Yuan said coldly.
The momentum is frightening and the official authority is very strict.
"I...you..."
Xue Jiaoyan was frightened.
Take a step back in panic.
"You are not allowed to bully my sister!"
Xue Bowu shouted loudly, stood up in front of Xue Jiaoyan, and glared at Fang Yuan.
Du Miaoyan immediately stepped forward and stood side by side with Fang Yuan, ready to take action at any time.
The same goes for Zheng Jiuji, who were so nervous that they put their hands on the handles of their knives, ready to draw out the knives.
"No!"
"Little brother, step back!"
Xue Jiaoyan quickly shouted.
"Sister, don't worry."
"They are no match for me together."
Xue Bowu turned around and showed a relieved smile.
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Jiu and others seemed to be insulted, and their eyes became colder.
Du Miaoyan also frowned slightly, feeling that Xue Bowu was too arrogant.
Fang Yuan was the only one who felt happy and was even more sure that Xue Bowu was powerful.
Everyone thought a war was about to break out.
However,
"Fight, fight, fight, you know how to fight, go ahead!"
Xue Jiaoyan jumped up and gave Xue Bowu a chestnut.
There was a boom, and Fang Yuan and others seemed to feel the pain.
"Ah, it hurts!"
Xue Bowu immediately covered his head in pain.
Aggrieved, Baba walked away and retreated behind Xue Jiaoyan.
"Prefect Fang, why do you say I stole your coal?"
Xue Jiaoyan stood up and snorted coldly.
"My people saw it."
Fang Yuan looked at Xue Jiaoyan in surprise.
They almost started a war, but Xue Jiaoyan stopped them.
Do you think you can get away with it with just a few words, or what?
But no matter what, if it can be solved without force, then there is no need to use force. After all, the other party is not the enemy.
"I just saw you and your brothers imitating briquettes and knocking out several state officials."
Zheng Jiu interrupted and said in a deep voice.
He relaxed a lot and was not as nervous as before.
But my right hand is still on the handle of the knife so that I can draw the knife at any time.
"You said yes?"
"I also said that you just peeked at my housekeeper taking a shower."
Xue Jiaoyan rolled her eyes and said speechlessly.
"Is that so? Let's go and take a look."
Zheng Jiu's face darkened and he said in a deep voice.
He is a serious man, why would he watch an old man take a bath?
With that said, Zheng Jiu was about to walk to the backyard of the Xue family's mansion.
"Stop!"
"This is my home, you can't just come in if you want."
Xue Jiaoyan stopped Zheng Jiu and said coldly.
"Get out of the way!"
Zheng Jiu shouted coldly, reaching out to push Xue Jiaoyan away.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he froze before it even touched Xue Jiaoyan.
At this moment, he felt that he was being stared at by something super scary.
Following his feeling, he looked over and found Xue Bowu staring at him fiercely.
Zheng Jiu was very sure that if he met Xue Jiaoyan, Xue Bowu would definitely rush over.
After pondering for a moment, Zheng Jiu finally took back his hand and looked at Fang Yuan.
"Xue Jiaoyan, I am the governor of Liaozhou, let alone inspecting your home, even if it demolishes your home, no one will say anything. What do you think?"
Fang Yuan glanced at Xue Bowu and said in a deep voice.
He also saw Xue Bowu looking at Zheng Jiu just now, his eyes becoming fierce, like a wolf.
"How dare you?!"
Xue Jiaoyan suddenly looked like a little lion with fried hair.
"How dare I hinder my handling of the case?"
Fang Yuan sneered.
"You, you bully our siblings!"
Xue Jiaoyan's eyes suddenly turned red, as if she was about to cry.
At this time, someone outside Xue Mansion had noticed the arrival of Fang Yuan and others.
Some curious people stopped and some even came closer.
"Xue Jiaoyan, I am speaking to you in such a polite and angry manner, please don't be ungrateful!"
"You can try to stop me one more time. I will leave directly. What awaits you will be three hundred state officials forcing their way into Xue's mansion!"
Fang Yuan's face immediately turned cold.
Women’s tears make me upset just looking at them.
Xue Jiaoyan is already thin, and when she cries she feels like she is being bullied.
Outsiders didn't know it, and they thought they were really bullying their siblings.
This is something Fang Yuan can't bear, and he doesn't want to continue messing around with Xue Jiaoyan.
"You, you... just search. If you can't find it, I'm not done with you."
Xue Jiaoyan was frightened by Fang Yuan again.
Looking at Fang Yuan's serious face, she opened her mouth but still didn't dare to say anything to stop him.
In the end, the grievances were put aside, tears fell, and black ash flowed down the tears, becoming uglier and more pitiful.
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, but ignored her and walked into the Xue family's residence first.
Zheng Jiu quickened his pace and walked at the front to lead the way to the place where they had just discovered that their siblings were imitating briquettes.
"Asshole Fang Yuan, I'm not done with you."
Xue Jiaoyan wiped her tears, her whole face was stained.
But she didn't mind and walked towards the door.
"Whatever you are looking at, get out of here."
Xue Jiaoyan yelled at the people outside the door and closed the door.
"Broom star, who wants to see you."
Some familiar people snorted coldly, turned around and left.
"You are the bad guy, and you are the bad guy in the whole family."
Xue Jiaoyan felt even more aggrieved, finally closed the door and walked to where Fang Yuan and others went.
Xue Bowu remained silent the whole time, following Xue Jiaoyan's footsteps, and finally arrived at a courtyard where Fang Yuan and others had already arrived.
"Look, I just said there was no coal, and I didn't steal your coal!"
Xue Jiaoyan said loudly.
The courtyard is empty, there is really no coal.
But,
"Xue Jiaoyan, do you think I am blind?"
"Did you really not see this black cinder, or did you pretend you didn't see it?"
Fang Yuan had a dark face and said speechlessly.
The courtyard is empty and there is no coal.
But there is a big cinder on the ground.
At this glance, you can tell that coal was piled here just now and then moved.
Coal is black. If it is piled on the ground for a long time, it will stain the ground black and even leave cinders, which is difficult to remove.
Looking at the traces on the ground, Fang Yuan guessed that the coal mine must have been piled up for three or four days, which would match the time when Huang Shancong was there.
"This is charcoal ash, this is charcoal ash!"
Xue Jiaoyan shook her head and emphasized.
"Xue Jiaoyan, you won't die until you reach the Yellow River."
"Is the coal hidden in...the well?"
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Look around the courtyard and walk towards the well.
The courtyard is empty, but there is a well here.
From this black circle to the well, there are a small amount of cinders on the ground.
"No!"
"Ah! Stop!"
Xue Jiaoyan was shocked.
He quickly chased after Fang Yuan and stood in front of Fang Yuan.
But besides Fang Yuan, Zheng Jiu and others also moved and walked towards the well.
"Zun Zhou, the coal is in the well."
Zheng Jiu shouted.
As soon as the words fell, Xue Jiaoyan was like a deflated ball.
Because of the drought some time ago, there was less water in the wells.
So much so that when Xue Jiaoyan and her brother threw coal into the well, the coal was exposed.
Then Fang Yuan and others arrived too quickly, and the siblings had no way to solve the problem and could only shelve it.
The black cinders on the ground were also pressed against time. The two siblings tried sweeping with a broom for a while but couldn't remove them, so they had no choice but to give up.
"Xue Jiaoyan, what else do you have to argue with?"
Fang Yuan sneered.
Looking down at Xue Jiaoyan, who is already short.
"I, I, that, can I give it back to you?"
Xue Jiaoyan said with a smile.
Now that things have come to this, she doesn't dare to lie anymore.
"No."
"If you steal something, you will go to jail."
Fang Yuan snorted coldly.
"Wow...my life is so miserable."
"My father died long ago, my mother died long ago, and I only have one stupid brother."
"Catch me and put me in jail, let me die in jail, wuwuwu..."
Xue Jiaoyan knelt on the ground with a pop and cried loudly.
"Xue Jiaoyan, don't pretend to be pitiful!"
"This well cannot hold tens of thousands of kilograms of coal, what about the rest?"
Fang Yuan's face darkened and he said in a deep voice.
Xue Jiaoyan cried and made noise every time, leaving him speechless.
Although Xue Jiaoyan's life experience is really pitiful, stealing coal is wrong.
If you are caught stealing coal, you will cry and make a fuss. Crying and fussing are useful, so why do we need laws and rules?
"What did you say?"
"Don't accuse me wrongly!"
"I only took two hundred catties!"
When Xue Jiaoyan heard this, she jumped up immediately.
"Wudongshan not only has fewer coal piles."
"Some people dug thousands of kilograms from another place."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"You, you, don't accuse me wrongly!"
"We are just two siblings, how can we possibly dig thousands of kilograms?"
Xue Jiaoyan was so frightened that her face turned pale and she did not dare to shed tears.
There is a huge difference between two hundred kilograms and several thousand or ten thousand kilograms. For the former, an apology and compensation should be enough, but for the latter, you will definitely go to jail.
"It's really not you?"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Sure enough, it's just as I thought.
The Xue siblings were just stealing coal, and coal mining should have nothing to do with them.
But besides the two siblings, who else would focus on the coal mine?
"It's really not me!"
"I swear!"
Xue Jiaoyan raised three fingers towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan did not speak immediately, thinking with a sullen face.
Since they are not siblings, let’s try to conquer them first?
But before Fang Yuan opened his mouth, Huang Shancong came in a hurry at this moment.
"Master, master, something bad is going on."
"The coal mine collapsed and a group of workers were trapped inside. Their lives and deaths are unknown."
Huang Shancong said breathlessly.
He said goodbye to Fang Yuan not long ago and returned to Wudong Mountain.
However, as soon as he returned, he heard a loud boom.
The coal mine in Wudongshan collapsed, trapping a group of workers.
Huang Shancong was frightened and quickly asked someone to rescue him. At the same time, he came back to report Fang Yuan.
Everyone was shocked.
Xue Jiaoyan was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"Now, regardless of whether you siblings dug it or not, just go with me."
Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
The coal mine collapsed, and the life and death of a group of workers were unknown. It was a serious matter.
If it was caused by man and no one can be found, the Xue family may have to bear the blame.
