Rescue efforts are proceeding in an orderly manner. Song Qiu has counted 136 people buried in the mine, 76 people have been rescued, 17 people have died, 23 people have been seriously injured, and 36 people have been slightly injured to varying degrees. Every half an hour, Song Qiu reported to me the progress of the rescue work, my heart was heavy, although I did not understand the rescue work of the mine disaster, but also had a certain amount of common sense, it has been four days, the longer the time drags on, the less hope that the miners buried in the mine will be rescued alive. In the past two days, I have seen the tragic situation of the injured and their relatives rushing to the heavens and the earth, and I deeply feel the impermanence of life, which makes me cherish the life I have from the bottom of my heart.

I put the focus of my work on comforting the relatives of the victims, I don't dare to underestimate the important surname of goodwill work, after this kind of accident, the attitude and image of the Yun family is very important, look at the leaders of our party, every disaster, frequently exposed in various media, make sad speeches, go to the disaster area to offer condolences, buy people's hearts. Rescue and disaster relief or something has his own subordinates to do, he just needs to punish the evil and promote the good, to put it bluntly, it is actually quite hypocritical, but the common people eat this set.

The mine compensated each of the deceased's relatives with a pension of 100 taels of silver, and the injured were compensated with 20 to 50 taels of silver depending on the situation, and the mine also paid all the medical and funeral expenses of the victims. The families of the victims have received the money and are very satisfied with the amount of compensation. Most of the injured have been transferred to Tieshan County, and their relatives have also been evacuated, so I asked Song Qiu to organize a special team of people, one person is responsible for the information communication between the injured family and the mine, the hospital, the funeral, etc., and the relatives of the injured who remain in the mine have not started so much.

The son and grandson of the old woman who stopped me in front of the horse have not yet been found, and the old woman cries like a tearful person every time, and I can't help but feel sad when I think of her old age and the loss of her son and grandchildren. Every time a new person was dug up, I accompanied her to identify the body, but I couldn't find it, and the old woman was desperate again and again and then gave birth to hope. But the boy who stopped me found the body of his eldest brother, his mother and sister-in-law also came, crying and grabbing the ground, the mine compensated the pension according to the regulations, and what made me fall through the glasses was that the two women quarreled endlessly in order to monopolize the pension, and even the dead did not care, I couldn't help but feel cold, the so-called family affection, in the face of money, is so vulnerable. In the end, the young man shouted angrily: "Don't you quarrel anymore, do you think my eldest brother can't even close his eyes?" The two women realized their gaffe and began to cry again, and I felt only a wave of nausea and hurried out.

When I returned to the meeting hall, Yun Tianchang happened to come back from Tieshan County, I hurriedly asked him to sit down and ask him about the discussion with the government office, but I didn't expect Yun Tianchang to look annoyed, and said angrily and hatefully: "Young lady, I didn't finish what you told me, and I was made difficult by Wang Shouzhi's dog official." ”

"What? He doesn't earn enough money from us? I raised my eyebrows, what a corrupt official, I asked Yun Tianchang to give him a full 20,000 taels of silver, "Or do you blame us for kidnapping Steward Zhao?" He should know very well that this matter must be handed over to a few people, even if Steward Zhao is his brother-in-law, if the matter is big, he can't keep it, he won't be stupid to this point, right? ”

"No, the matter has been almost discussed, but ......" Yun Tianchang's face was a little ugly, and I looked at him, "Uncle Chang, you just say it." ”

"Yes, the matter has almost been negotiated, we will deal with the mining disaster as soon as possible, and let the government try not to interfere in it, but suddenly someone came and whispered a few words in Lord Wang's ear, and when Lord Wang heard it, his face was not very good, and he said......" Yun Tianchang glanced at me, and I asked, "What did he say?" ”

"He asked me, I heard that your young lady is here, but is there such a thing?" Cloudy Sky Changdao.

I said inexplicably, "What's wrong with me coming?" ”

Yun Tianchang looked annoyed: "I also blame my negligence, I thought that the relationship with the government was usually very good, and the young lady asked me to go straight to the point, this matter is nothing to put in normal times, but now ......"

I still don't understand: "Uncle Chang, don't talk about it, you have something to say." ”

"The young lady doesn't understand the affairs of officialdom very well, if it is usual, we are in contact with the government, then it is nothing, because the head of the Yun family is not in this place, but now that the young lady is here, the prefect will definitely feel uncomfortable, you, the head of the house, have come to his land, but send a deacon to discuss with him, what does it mean? So......" Yun Tianchang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "It was my negligence, please punish the young lady." ”

It dawned on me. To put it simply, it means that the official wants to show off his authority, and this Lord Wang feels that I have no respect for him. I haven't mixed with officialdom, I don't know the rules of officialdom very well, but I also know that some officials attach great importance to this aspect of things, I remember hearing that at a certain meeting, the staff put the seat sign of the director and the deputy director in reverse, and the result is that after the meeting, the relationship between the director and the deputy director has become delicate, the director of the bureau in dealing with the affairs of the deputy director, everything has to be carded, never simply, I only felt ridiculous when I heard it before, but now I think about it, it's just that we people don't understand the rules of officialdom.

I nodded, this matter can't be blamed on Yun Tianchang, it seems that I have to come forward to solve it in person: "Then what did Lord Wang say later?" ”

"It's because of this that Lord Wang may feel that he has no face, so he started an official tone and said that he would do business." Yun Tian often frowned and said, "If the government does everything according to the rules and systems, our mine will die......

"It seems that Steward Zhao has a lot of cronies in this mine." Someone immediately went down the mountain to report to Lord Fuyi, and secretly acted as a ghost. I glanced at him and smiled faintly, "Uncle Chang, I bother you to go to Tieshan County again and apologize to the Lord of the Mansion, saying that when I first arrived in the mine, my affairs were complicated, and I couldn't get away for a while, so I was negligent, and I said that I would definitely visit him in person!" ”

Yun Tianchang nodded and went out. I groaned, it seems that this Steward Zhao has also cultivated some forces in the Longxing Iron Mine, and now that he has lost power, he must be afraid of being implicated, so he hurriedly reported to the government to put pressure on me. I sneered, I want to see who the hell is doing it!

Let Yun De call Song Qiu in, and I asked him directly: "Do you know which people are in charge of Zhao in our mine?" ”

Song Qiu thought for a while, said the names of a few foremen, and said, "That's all I know, and it's not clear if there's anything else." ”

"Have someone monitor them to see if they're in contact with each other, if they're in contact with other people, and report to me as soon as they find out." I said lightly. When he went out, I summed up the lesson of this time, and in the handling of this matter, my big decision was not wrong, and in the event of a mining disaster, after pacifying the people, I should discuss the matter with the government as soon as possible. But I made two mistakes, one was that I didn't control the forces cultivated by Steward Zhao, and the other was that I ignored the rules of officialdom. I bit my lip, I will visit Master Fuyi tomorrow, it seems that I will have to stuff another sum of silver, and I have spent an extra sum of money to buy the lesson, I remember!

Song Qiu arranged according to my instructions, and the people in charge of Zhao have not moved. I was so tired that I leaned on the soft couch and took a nap, and I haven't straightened up to sleep well in the past few days, because I have to listen to Song Qiu's rescue progress report every half an hour, and I am tired and just leaning on the soft couch in the council hall and squinting for a while. In the middle of the night, Yun De hurriedly ran in: "Young lady, it's not good! ”

I immediately woke up: "What's the matter?" ”

"The families of those miners don't know how to make a fuss, saying that you colluded with the government, and now you are just putting Zhao Guan in custody for a show, and they will not deal with him at all, and now they are angry, and they have already fought with the people who went to persuade him...... "Yun De said in one breath.

"What?" I stood up suddenly, "Who spread the fake news?" Is it a cronie of Steward Zhao? ”

"I'm not sure if it's not, his people are being watched by us, but in case there are still some henchmen we don't know......" Yun De said uncertainly, I raised my leg and walked out the door, "Hurry up and explain to everyone!" ”

"Young lady, it's too late, they are instigated, and they won't listen at all." Yun De followed closely. Yun Li and Yun Zhen hurriedly escorted me to my side.

"Why don't you give it a try." I hurriedly ran to the rest room of the miners' relatives, and before I could get closer, I saw that there was a mess, the miners' relatives and the mediators twisted together, and the scene was chaotic, so I hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, listen to my explanation to everyone......

Someone threw a wooden stick over, Yun Li knocked it away with a punch, and someone in the crowd shouted: "Don't listen to her, which of these rich people is not colluding with officials and businessmen, and now they are talking like lotus flowers, and I don't know what the hell is going on behind it......"

Tongue Lotus? Quite cultured, my eyes searched the crowd to find the instigator, but the scene was too chaotic to find who it was. When the relatives of the miners heard him say this, they immediately rushed to me and shouted: "Don't listen to her, arrest her......"

The flow of people poured towards me, Yunli and Yunzhen kicked away a few relatives of the miners who rushed forward, and I was anxious: "Don't hurt people!" "If you hurt them now, the consequences will be even harder to control!

"Young lady, our duty is to protect you!" Yunli knocked down the two people who rushed up again, and said sharply. Seeing this, the guards on the mine also rushed over, and Yun De saw that the scene was uncontrollable, so he hurriedly said: "Young lady, let's avoid it for a while, and wait for their emotions to stabilize before making plans." ”

I looked at the crowd that was pouring over, and it seemed that it was useless to say anything now, and turned to run to the stable: "Get on the horse, let's get out of here first!" ”

Everyone escorted me to ride Xiaobai and rushed out of the mine, Yun De rushed to the front with the mine guards to open the way, Yun Li and Yun Zhen in the back, constantly waving the stones thrown at us by the crazy crowd with their horse whips. We quickly rushed out of the mine, and the crowd was gradually left behind by us, until there was no sign of the men behind us, and our horses slowed down.

"Young lady, what should we do now?" Yunde stopped his horse and turned to me. I reined in my horse, thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Now this situation can't go back, let's go down the mountain to Tieshan County first, find Uncle Chang and then discuss." ”

"Yes!" Yun De nodded, ready to spur the horse, his body just moved, suddenly heard a rapid sound of breaking the air, Yun Li reacted quickly to turn the horse and stop in front of me, before he had time to draw his sword, he swung into the air, and a short cold arrow pierced the mud. Before I could react, there were two more "whoosh" sounds, and the two iron mine guards in front of Yunde snorted, and immediately fell from the horse to the ground, and their bodies twitched twice, and there was no sound immediately. I only heard the sound of "bell" twice, Yunli and Yunzhen had already drawn their swords, flew to protect my horse, and said sharply: "Young lady, dodge, there is an ambush!" ”

All this happened in a blink of an eye, I was taken aback, and Yunde hurriedly dismounted, and the cold arrows that broke out of the air continued to shoot out from all directions, Yunli and Yunzhen protected me, the long sword threw out an impermeable sword flower, and shot down those cold arrows one by one, but those iron mine guards were not as lucky as me, and after a while, two iron mine guards fell off the horse, Yun De saw them fall off the horse and was breathless, and exclaimed: "There is a huge poison on the arrow!" ”

"Yes, and it's a huge poison that seals the throat with blood!" A man's cold voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, and I looked up in surprise to see a black-clad masked man suddenly appear in front of me. Yun Li and Yun Zhen stared straight at him, with a look of vigilance in their eyes. I looked left and right, slightly stunned, and in the dark night, four black-clothed masked men with knives came out of the front and back, staring at us.

"Up!" The previous man in black gave an order, and the four men in black moved and rushed towards me, and Yun De said loudly: "Protect the young lady!" "Everyone stepped forward to fight, Yun Li, Yun Zhen is okay, those iron mine guards are not the opponents of the four black-clothed men at all, they shoot fast, ruthless, accurate, and their moves are all deadly moves, like specially trained killers, in an instant, the iron mine guards fell in a pool of blood one by one. Seeing this, Yun Li said sharply: "Steward De, quickly take the young lady on the horse, we will stop them!" ”

"Did you run?" The leader of the men in black waved his hand, and the figures of the men in black shook ghostly, and the silver sword light flashed, surging up layers of knife waves, and the cold light was overwhelming, shrouding us in a cold knife array.
