Originally, Duan Zetao's idea was to suspend all the coal mines under Liu Shanbiao's Gulin Mining Group for rectification, and the Public Security Bureau would investigate him, but when Duan Zetao put forward this opinion at the Standing Committee, it was unanimously opposed by Ma Fugui and Liu Mingzheng.

Liu Shanbiao handed over the crippled Feilong, saying that all the illegal acts were done by him behind his back and had nothing to do with him, and finally Feilong became a scapegoat, but Liu Shanbiao was safe and sound, and the Qingshi Township Coal Mine soon restarted mining.

During this time, Duan Zetao made an open and secret visit to the large and small coal mines in Gulin County, and the more he learned about them, the more frightened he became, these coal mines had almost no safety measures, the miners' living conditions were extremely bad, and the destructive mining not only caused a lot of soil erosion, but also caused great damage to the local water source and the surrounding environment.

In order to pursue huge profits, the black-hearted mine owners do not care about the life or death of the miners, and are unwilling to spend money on even the most basic safety measures, let alone spend huge sums of money on environmental protection transformation.

In the countryside near the coal mines, Duan Zetao saw that many farmers' houses had cracked one after another due to the subsidence of the ground caused by the destructive mining of the coal mines, and there was no safety guarantee for living in them.

The water from wells and ponds in the village, where there is water, is black in color, and farmers can only barely eat it after putting the water there to precipitate and filter, and many farmers have suffered from stones and other diseases because they have drunk the polluted water for a long time. Crops in the fields have also been drastically reduced due to environmental pollution.

But the farmers dared not speak out, because these mine owners had recruited a large number of ruthless underworld thugs, and many farmers who went to report and complain to the government were seriously injured and hospitalized, and even their families were ruined.

Most of the government officials collude with these mine owners, receive a fixed monthly benefit fee, and some even have shares in these coal mines, and many coal mines are simply run by government officials or their relatives.

Hu Tielong even reacted to Duan Zetao with a shocking inside story, (Duan Zetao has officially recruited Hu Tielong into the county government's driver class and became his full-time driver), in these mines, there are many mentally retarded miners who have been abducted from other places, their living environment is worse than that of ordinary miners, not only has no salary, but the conditions of food and accommodation are simply the same as pigs, and when they die, they will be thrown into the abandoned mine hole underground, which is worse than the slaves of the old society!

Duan Zetao organized several joint safety law enforcement inspections of mining, safety supervision, and public security, but often as soon as the operation began, the mine owners received the news and immediately stopped work, so naturally nothing could be found.

Duan Zetao wanted to make an unannounced visit again, but these mines were extremely heavily guarded, and he couldn't enter at all, and there were a few times when he was almost in danger, but fortunately, Hu Tielong was there to save the day.

For the first time, he felt a sense of powerlessness, and whenever he wanted to investigate Liu Shanbiao and other mine owners, all the Standing Committee members would stand up and oppose it, and Liu Weiguo, the director of the public security bureau, who had always been very respectful to him, also found various reasons to shirk and was unwilling to send police forces to cooperate with his investigation.

Duan Zetao's frequent movements also aroused Liu Shanbiao's vigilance, since Liu Dahai was beaten by Duan Zetao, Liu Shanbiao knew that Duan Zetao had a very deep background, so he stayed away from Duan Zetao and tried not to provoke this demon star.

Even if Duan Zetao slapped him in the face last time in the coal mine disaster in Qingshi Township, he was very tolerant and instructed his subordinates to be cautious during this time and not to cause trouble outside, but he found that Duan Zetao did not want to let him go because of his forbearance, but targeted him everywhere and wanted to kill him, so he had to face this aggressive opponent.

Hooligans are not terrible, they are afraid that hooligans are educated, Liu Shanbiao is a literate hooligan, his family history is also very legendary, his family was very poor, he went to the mine as a miner at a very young age, there was a landslide in the mine, the miners who were trapped in the mine were desperate, only he carefully found a mouse in the mine, followed the mouse to find a way out, and also found a new vein.

At that time, the owner of the coal mine thought that the coal mine had been exhausted and the mine had collapsed again, so he wanted to sell the coal mine at a low price, so Liu Shanbiao united with the miners who were trapped underground with him to take down the coal mine, and those miners were grateful to him for saving their lives in the mine, and they were willing to work for him, and the industry became bigger and bigger.

After Liu Shanbiao got money, he did not buy a house and a car to support his wife like some mine bosses, but used the money to make friends with officials, establish his own network, and collude between officials and businessmen, as a result, he annexed several coal mines and became the richest man in Gulin County.

Although he didn't study when he was a child, when he had the conditions, he began to study on his own, it is said that he has a self-taught bachelor's degree in several majors, and he always regarded himself as a cultural person, and he liked to make friends with cultural people the most, and he spoke in a literary manner.

But if you are confused by his appearance, then you are very wrong, once he is ruthless than anyone else, and he is also very tolerant, once there was a black boss who had a conflict with him, spitting saliva in his face, he not only wiped it dry but also apologized to the black boss in turn, and half a year later, the black boss died of violence at home.

He is very low-key, although there are a large number of underworld thugs under his command, he never claims to be the boss of the underworld, but supports the agent to secretly control them, last time the flying dragon was one of the agents he supported, he is also very good at packaging himself, often donates to social charity, and became a deputy to the National People's Congress and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Therefore, in several black storms, many black bosses who once dominated the ancient forest have fallen, but he is the only one who does not fall, but his power is getting bigger and bigger.

He has a famous saying, there is no person in this world who can't be bought, as long as you can afford to pay a sufficient price, he bribes officials, and there are generally three tricks, money, sex, and the threat of force, and now he wants to deal with Duan Zetao, and he is also ready to use these three moves.

Duan Zetao suddenly received a call from Su Mei, since Su Mei went to Shanglin to invest in the construction of a resort and leisure hotel, the number of times the two met became less and less, one was that both of them were very busy and the time to meet was limited, and the other was that Duan Zetao always had a sense of danger to Su Mei, so he deliberately kept his distance, and Su Mei seduced Duan Zetao several times and was destroyed by emergencies, and he also felt that the two might indeed have no fate, and slowly his mind faded. The two maintain a very delicate relationship, closer than ordinary friends, but not lovers.

Su Mei said that she wanted to invite Duan Zetao to dinner, but Duan Zetao naturally didn't want to refuse, and the location was still the Dream Water Town Resort.

Duan Zetao didn't let Hu Tielong help him drive, he drove alone to the Dream Water Village Resort, and as soon as he got out of the car, he heard Su Mei's familiar voice coming.

"Brother Tao, it's really difficult to see you now, did you become the deputy county magistrate of the Standing Committee and forget my sister?!".

Duan Zetao smiled bitterly: "How can you, no one can forget your sister Mei, you don't know the situation in Gulin County, I just took office, I have a lot of problems, and my head is big!" ”。

Su Mei sighed, and said deeply: "Brother Tao, the water in Gulin is very deep, listen to my sister's advice, don't check it anymore, you have a background, but barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes, don't put yourself in." ”。

Duan Zetao glanced at Su Mei meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Oh, Sister Mei, are you here to be a lobbyist today?" Is it a Hongmen banquet? Then I really don't dare to eat this meal! ”。
