Fang Yuan did not continue, but waved to Zhou Kaile.
Zhou Kaile is the magistrate of Yushe County and the parent official of the people of Yushe County.
"Old man, please rest assured, I will definitely find your relatives for you!"
Zhou Kaile came over, saluted Fang Yuan first, and then led the old woman and others to other places.
"Huang Shancong, was he poached somewhere?"
Fang Yuan called Huang Shancong to ask.
There are currently four families trapped in the Wudongshan mine.
But it's not the current mine, it should be another one, the one discovered by Huang Shancong.
"Over here!"
"It takes a stick of incense to walk from here."
Huang Shancong also thought of this possibility and pointed in one direction.
"Zheng Jiu, bring half of the security guards and search Wu Dongshan again to see where there are still people poached?"
"The other half of the security guards asked them to check if there are any villages around Wudong Mountain and ask about the situation in the past few days."
Fang Yuan nodded, and then called Zheng Jiu to give instructions.
Wudang Mountain is very big. It would take several hours to walk from the foot of one mountain to the other. Fang Yuan felt that it was necessary to check again.
We also need to find out who secretly mined coal!
"Yes!"
Zheng Jiu should leave.
"Huang Shancong, lead the way."
"Miaoyan, let's go for a walk together."
Fang Yuan asked Huang Shancong to lead the way.
Fang Yuan doesn’t need to go there in person for this kind of thing.
But now that we have come to Wudong Mountain, let’s see how big it is.
It can also estimate how many coal mines there are in Wudongshan, how long they can be mined, etc.
"Okay."
Du Miaoyan has no objection.
"Prefect Fang, it's none of our siblings' business, right?"
"Can our siblings leave?"
Xue Jiaoyan trotted over and smiled.
Seeing that everyone had been rescued, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It must have nothing to do with me anymore, so I should be able to leave.
"No, let's follow together."
Fang Yuan shook his head.
Let Huang Shancong lead the way, and then follow.
"Why?"
"Isn't it no longer a matter of my siblings?"
Xue Jiaoyan stomped her feet in anger and quickly followed Fang Yuan.
When Xue Bowu saw this, he naturally followed his sister.
"Did you hear what the old woman said?"
Fang Yuan said while walking.
"I heard it."
"But it's none of our business!"
Xue Jiaoyan emphasized.
I stole the coal right next to this mine.
If the workers in this mine are rescued, then everything will be fine.
Even if there are mines and collapses in other places, it has nothing to do with you.
"Related."
"If the mine in Wudongshan collapses, there will be a fatal accident."
"Then the first official to be implicated is Zhou Kaile, and the second one is me. I don't want to be implicated, so you have to take the blame."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Jiaoyan froze in the distance.
Du Miaoyan, who was passing by, glanced at her, shook her head and ignored her.
Officials have been like this since ancient times. The only reason to blame is Xue Jiaoyan's bad luck. She stole coal and ended up in such a dangerous situation.
"Fang Yuan, you bastard, why do you do it?"
Xue Jiaoyan came to her senses.
She was so angry that her face turned livid and she stamped her feet fiercely.
But because this is a mountain road, the road is steep and difficult to walk.
As soon as she stamped her foot, she immediately fell to the ground with stars in her eyes.
"Sister!"
Xue Bowu was shocked.
He quickly helped Xue Jiaoyan up.
"I'm so angry, I'm so angry."
Xue Jiaoyan struggled to get up and angrily walked towards Fang Yuan.
"Sister, do you want me to beat him up?"
Xue Bowu stared at Fang Yuan's back with fierce eyes.
"Beat, beat, beat, you know how to fight all day long, believe it or not, I will beat you?"
Xue Jiaoyan stopped, turned around, raised her fist, and stared at her brother fiercely.
"Hehe, I'm just kidding, I'm kidding."
Xue Bowu waved his hands repeatedly.
The fierce look just now turned into a fawning look in an instant.
"Remember me in the future, don't always think about fighting."
Xue Jiaoyan snorted coldly.
He walked quickly towards Fang Yuan's direction.
"Oh."
Xue Bowu scratched his head.
It feels like I didn’t listen.
"Fang Yuan, why are you doing this to me?"
Xue Jiaoyan chased Fang Yuan and asked.
"Xue Jiaoyan, you are so annoying, can you please stop talking?"
"The best thing you can do now is hope that this matter will go through peacefully, so that you can be good to me."
Fang Yuan did not explain and said calmly.
There may be promoters behind this matter.
Zhu Dalang's mother and others were reminded by "kind-hearted fellow villagers" that it must not be simple.
"You bastard!"
Xue Jiaoyan cursed again.
But I did become obedient and stopped being verbose.
She and Xue Bowu followed Fang Yuan and walked for nearly a stick of incense to the coal mine discovered by Huang Shancong.
But it is obvious that no collapse occurred here.
"Strange."
"Isn't there a third place here?"
Huang Shancong said with an ugly face.
Even Wu Dongshan himself couldn’t stand it.
Apart from here, there are other places where people may have dug up.
Dereliction of duty, huge dereliction of duty!
Xue Jiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the empty mine.
Just as he was about to speak, Huang Shancong fell to his knees with a thud.
"Master, I have neglected my duty, please punish me!"
Huang Shancong lowered his head and said with shame.
"Punishment cannot be avoided."
"But it depends on the results."
"Huang Shancong, you'd better take the blame and make meritorious service!"
Fang Yuan also looked ugly and said in a deep voice.
Wudong Mountain is very big, so Fang Yuan did not blame him when he learned about stealing and digging coal.
But after discovering that coal was being stolen and mined secretly, he could still leave out undetected coal. This was a huge dereliction of duty on his part.
"Thank you, sir!"
Huang Shancong stood up and said ashamedly.
"Go back!"
"Deploy manpower from the state capital!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Originally, Xue Jiaoyan wanted to say something.
But seeing Fang Yuan's expression so ugly, he didn't dare to speak.
Everyone returned.
Just after returning, Zheng Jiu also hurriedly returned.
"Zun Zhou, a mine was discovered and it collapsed."
Zheng Jiu said in a deep voice.
"Lead the way!"
Fang Yuan's expression condensed and he said in a deep voice.
He also noticed that there were many more people at the scene.
There were dozens more people at Zhou Kaile's place, and dozens more people at the foot of the mountain.
In total, there may be hundreds of people, and the news of the mine collapse may have spread.
At this time,
"Lord Governor? That's Lord Governor!"
"Lord Governor, where are my children now?"
Someone on Zhou Kaile's side recognizes Fang Yuan.
After seeing Fang Yuan, he immediately walked towards Fang Yuan in surprise.
Seeing this, other family members also came towards Fang Yuan's direction.
There were thirty or forty people in total, so Zheng Jiu was so frightened that he quickly stood in front of Fang Yuan.
"Don't scare them."
Fang Yuan held Zheng Jiu's shoulders and walked forward.
It is good to be cautious, but it depends on the situation.
If your attitude is too cold, you will appear to be out of touch with the masses.
Zheng Jiu responded and retreated behind Fang Yuan, but stayed very close.
"Lord Governor, do you know where my rice is?"
This is an old man, his hair has turned white and has almost fallen out.
Almost all of my teeth are gone. When I open my mouth to speak, I can only see two bright yellow front teeth.
"Old man, don't worry, I will definitely help you find your family."
"You should follow County Magistrate Zhou first, and now I have to find your family members."
Fang Yuan said comfortingly.
"I, I don't believe him, but I believe you."
"You kept my family alive, and I only trust you."
The old man secretly glanced at Zhou Kaile, approached Fang Yuan, and said in a low voice.
Although the voice was lowered, maybe because his ears were not sensitive, it was actually quite loud.
Zhou Kaile, who was not far away, heard this and turned his head away in shame, not daring to face Fang Yuan.
It has only been a month since he took office, and he has not yet established his prestige in Yushe County. It is normal for the people not to believe him.
Du Miaoyan also heard what the old man said, and her eyes when looking at Fang Yuan became proud. She remembered that some people also said such words to her father.
"Old man, thank you for your trust."
Fang Yuan was inexplicably moved.
A warm current surged out of my heart.
It is a blessing to be trusted by others.
"Prefect Fang, take us with you to find him."
"Don't worry, we won't drag you back."
The old man begged.
Others also echoed.
"Then follow up."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and sighed.
Although Wudong Mountain is large, it has already attracted attention.
It won't take long, even if you don't take them there, they will find their place.
Rather than doing this, it’s better to just let them keep up.
"Thank you, Lord Governor. Thank you, Lord Governor."
The old man and others thanked him again and again.
Everyone was also grateful.
"Magistrate Zhou, you are responsible for taking care of them."
Fang Yuan glanced at Zhou Kaile and said.
Then I apologized to the old man, the old woman and others.
Then, under Li Ke's call, the group of workers who had just rescued quickly followed up.
They are all rescue workers and have to go to new coal mines to carry out rescue operations.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and there was only more than an hour left before dark.
Soon, Fang Yuan and others arrived at another mine.
After seeing the mine, Fang Yuan's expression turned serious.
This is a cave entrance that collapsed from the inside, and there are many large rocks.
Just the big stone at the door may take a long time to be removed.
Some people burst into tears when they saw the situation in front of them, and their moans spread throughout Wudong Mountain.
"Bring all the people to the foot of the mountain."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Soon, the people were all driven to the foot of the mountain whether they wanted it or not.
"President Fang, what should we do?"
Zhou Kaile came over and said with an ugly expression.
Before the rescue started, he felt that it was more difficult than the rescue just now.
"Huang Shancong, take someone to check the situation and determine whether the personnel are safe?"
Fang Yuan did not answer, but asked Huang Shancong to do something.
The old woman and her son haven't been found yet, and there is a high probability that he is here.
"Yes!"
Huang Shancong’s deep voice should be.
Bring all the absentees with you.
"Magistrate Zhou, as the magistrate of Yushe County, do you know what the consequences will be if someone dies in the territory under your jurisdiction?"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Prefect Fang, please tell me any orders you may have!"
Zhou Kaile was suddenly shocked and his expression became extremely serious.
He has been the chief bookkeeper for these years. It is his first time to be a county magistrate, but he knows a few things.
If you have jurisdiction over the dead within your territory, and if you can suppress them, then nothing will happen.
But if the pressure cannot be suppressed, suspension for self-reflection is the lightest option. Demotion is more likely, and dismissal is also possible.
It can be said that all this was decided by Fang Yuan, his immediate superior, and now his destiny is in Fang Yuan's hands.
But so many people at the scene knew that Fang Yuan might not protect him...
"Do you know who has appeared in Wudongshan these days?"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, glanced at Zhou Kaile and said.
Fang Yuan wanted to let Zhou Kaile know the seriousness of the matter so that he could devote all his efforts to rescue and find the truth.
Because more than an hour has passed since the first mine rescue incident, more than a hundred people showed up, but there were not many government officials in Yushe County, which shows that Zhou Kaile has no intention.
"Ah?"
"No, I didn't notice it."
Zhou Kaile was stunned at first, and then answered in a panic.
He also realized that he had misunderstood what Fang Yuan meant.
"If you don't notice, mobilize all the government officials to search!"
Fang Yuan was dissatisfied with his attitude and said in a low tone.
"Yes, yes, I will go and do it now."
Zhou Kaile quickly responded.
Quickly leave and order the yamen servants present.
At this time, Huang Shancong, who was investigating, came back.
"Sir, there is someone inside, but the situation is unknown."
Huang Shancong said in a deep voice.
The sound was transmitted through the mountains, and the sound was also transmitted inside, proving that there were people inside.
But it is unknown how many people were inside and whether there were any casualties.
"Follow the discussion process just now, organize the team to discuss a rescue plan."
Fang Yuan ordered.
On-site workers gathered together again.
But unfortunately, this time the negotiation was not as smooth as before.
Because no one has ever entered this mine and does not understand the conditions inside.
"Why don't we dig the hole bigger first and then push the big rocks away?"
Zhou Kaile became active and suggested.
"That's all it can do."
"Xue Bowu, you also go and help."
Fang Yuan ordered.
It's getting late and it will get dark soon.
It is even more difficult to rescue when it is dark, so we can no longer discuss it like this.
Soon, everyone began to rescue.
Maybe it was because Fang Yuan said that Zhou Kaile was very positive this time.
As a county magistrate, he fought on the front line and took the initiative to pick up a hoe and dig away the soil at the entrance of the cave.
At this time, the security guards sent out to check if there were any surrounding villages came back and reported the situation to Zheng Jiu.
"Zun Zhou, some people saw County Magistrate Zhou sneaking away from Wudong Mountain with people in the early morning, and they seemed to be carrying things."
Zheng Jiu brought a middle-aged commoner to report.
"It's actually him?"
"Are you sure?"
Fang Yuan frowned, looked at the middle-aged people he brought and asked.
It’s actually Zhou Kaile?
What does he want coal for?
Moreover, if a person is trapped to death and he doesn’t take the initiative to save him, isn’t he afraid of getting involved?
No, after he was guided by himself, he is now the most active in saving people.
"Yes, yes, I can see clearly."
"I was in the grass at that time and saw them sneaking past. I could see them clearly."
"I was embarrassed at the time and didn't dare to get up, so I kept squatting and they didn't notice me."
Middle-aged people murmured.
"Okay, thank you."
Fang Yuan nodded.
Have someone take him down, and watch him before he goes back.
Then someone called Zhou Kaile.
"Zhou Kaile, did you steal the coal?"
Fang Yuan stared at Zhou Kaile and asked.
Zhou Kaile's eyes suddenly opened wide and his expression changed drastically.
