Volume 1 Chapter 537 After the Collapse

Hurried to the entrance and exit of the winding mountain road on the side of Linshi City, Ren Tianxiang saw a scene like the end of the world.

As if the towering mountain had been cut by a sharp blade, half of the mountain toppled down, crushing the winding road that was built at the foot of the mountain below. Dirt and gravel dust filled the surroundings, and the whole sky was gray, and even the sun was a little dim because of the dust.

Standing here, Ren Tianxiang could clearly see that even the roadbed of the winding mountain road not far away had collapsed, and the entire road broke apart from the middle and collapsed.

What's even more tragic is that when the mountain and the roadbed of the mountain road collapsed, there were still many pedestrians passing by on the mountain road, and now the mountain and the roadbed have all collapsed, and there are already a lot of people who are pressed by the soil and rocks that Ren Tianxiang can see, not to mention those who are directly buried alive at the bottom.

The screams and cries filled the entire entrance and exit, which made Ren Tianxiang feel a little deafening when he arrived here just now.

Ren Tianxiang stood on the official road outside the city, looking at this scene in a daze, his face twitching slightly.

It wasn't until now that he finally understood what Xingheng told him about the "wait" that Yang Ying had passed on before meant - it turned out that Xingheng had already expected that this winding mountain road would collapse at this time, and as the person in charge of the construction of the winding mountain road, Zou Chang would definitely not be able to run.

And that's not allβ€”whoever is in charge of this matter knows very well that Zou Chang's reputation in Linshi City is very high, if it is only because of official corruption, considering his merits for Linshi City, it is very likely that the people of Linshi City will protest against the decision of the imperial court because of this.

But now it's different. The collapse of the winding mountain road built by Zou Chang has caused countless man-made disasters, and the spearhead of these tragedies will eventually point to Zou Chang. In the end, even if the imperial court did not make any decision to Zou Chang, he would probably be abused to death by the angry people of Linshi City.

But after all, Ren Tianxiang never thought that Xingheng really couldn't bear to let such a thing happen!

In this disaster - although Ren Tianxiang does not know how many people will die in this accident, but this is enough to be called a disaster - all the lives of the people in the surrounding cities are lost, and they are the lives of people!

If Xingheng knew about this matter in advance and told Ren Tianxiang through Yang Ying, then with Ren Tianxiang's authority, he could block the winding mountain road, and it was very likely that he would be able to prevent this disaster, and so many people would not have died under this disaster.

But it's too late to say anything now, things have already happened, and all Ren Tianxiang can do is do his best.

"Hu Yaoyu!" Ren Tianxiang almost shouted these three words, and when Hu Yaoyu hurriedly walked in front of him, he continued to roar, "What about the others?"

"Zhang Bantang was ordered by me to go deep into the winding mountain road to investigate where there were still passers-by who needed rescue and ...... Investigate the cause of the collapse of Panshan Road. As for the others, I've already asked them to help the Linshi City Defense Army rescue them. ”

"You go too. Almost gritting his teeth to say this, Ren Tianxiang's eyes showed such a fierce gaze as never before, "You go to help save people immediately, don't worry about the rest, I'll deal with it." Wang Hongyu!"

His last sentence was also shouted, but he didn't care whether Wang Hongyu was around or not, he believed that as long as he had a call, Wang Hongyu would definitely come as quickly as possible.

Sure enough, almost at the same time as his words fell, Wang Hongyu appeared in front of Ren Tianxiang. At this time, he also realized the seriousness of the matter, and even the expression on his face became solemn.

"Take this, contact Wang Yixian, and ask him to arrest Zou Chang for me and take him to the City Lord's Mansion to wait for my interrogation. Ren Tianxiang threw the token that Wang Yixian had transferred to him through Hu Yaoyu to Wang Hongyu, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Then you go to the audit office, give me the audit office, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Hearing the name of "Audit Office", Wang Hongyu thought that he had misheard, so he quickly raised his head, tilted his head, and asked suspiciously: "Audit Office?"

"It's the Audit Office. Ren Tianxiang nodded viciously, his eyes were full of murderous intent, as if they were about to overflow, "I suspect that they have a great connection with Zou Chang." ”

"The subordinates understand. There is no need for Ren Tianxiang to explain anything, Wang Hongyu has already understood what role the audit office plays in this matter.

And Ren Tianxiang has become like this now, he naturally does not dare to slack off, after saying goodbye to Ren Tianxiang, he immediately left this place and rushed in the direction of the audit office.

The news of the collapse of the winding road should have reached the audit office by now, and if the people in question were not in their heads, their first reaction after receiving the news should be to flee.

And Wang Hongyu must rush to the audit office before this, guard all those who want to escape, and wait for Ren Tianxiang to come and deal with it.

Of course, he would not forget to inform Wang Yixian to arrest Zou Chang, but this matter is not in a hurry. Zou Chang didn't get the news of the collapse of the mountain road at this time, and said that just Wang Yixian stared at him, he would definitely not be able to run, and Wang Hongyu still believed in his younger brother very much.

After Wang Hongyu left, Ren Tianxiang immediately followed Hu Yaoyu to the collapsed mountain road and participated in the rescue work of the city defense army.

As for Luos, Ren Tianqing, and Mo Huan, he had already left them in the City Lord's Mansion when he followed Hu Yaoyu out of the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is Zou Chang's base camp, and Ren Tianxiang can't guarantee that there are no Zou Chang's people in the City Lord's Mansion, so he needs Luo Si and them to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, seal the City Lord's Mansion, and wait for Wang Yixian to arrest Zou Chang back.

Next, the most important thing for Ren Tianxiang is to cooperate with the city defense army to rescue the people who are threatened by the collapse of the winding mountain road. With his authority, not only the city defense army came to the rescue, but even the local department-level departments set up by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Procuratorate in Linshi City also came to help.

After receiving Ren Tianxiang's order, the healers in the city were all taken over by the city defense army, and they settled and treated the rescued people in the open space outside the south gate of Linshi City.

However, their strength is still very weak, after all, Linshi City is a small inland city, according to the rules of the Star Empire, their number will not exceed five hundred, and even if the local department-level departments of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Prosecution are added, as well as the healers who have been recruited, the number of people participating in the rescue will not exceed a thousand.

Although the city defense army of Linshi City has already asked for help from the surrounding cities, the surrounding cities are all small cities after all, and in the end, even if all the city defense troops of the surrounding seven or eight cities are mobilized, the number of rescuers will not exceed four thousand.

However, the winding mountain road is not short, and most of them are mountain roads, and most of the only winding mountain roads that can be passed are buried by the mountain, and the 4,000 people may not be able to rescue the people who were buried alive under the mountain in a short time.

Considering this matter, Ren Tianxiang almost did not hesitate to light up his communication bracelet, and then quickly dialed Ren Tianxiang's communication number.

Soon, Ren Tianqi's little face appeared on the holographic screen.

Seeing Ren Tianxiang, Ren Tianqi smiled and asked, "Tianxiang, why do you have time to contact me? Is there something difficult to solve on your side?"

"There is indeed a problem. Ren Tianxiang nodded, and then showed the nearby scene to Ren Tianqi, and then he said to Ren Tianqi, "Uncle, you also know the situation here, we need a large number of rescuers and medical personnel, I ...... I want to save as much as I can. ”

Seeing the hellish scene in front of Ren Tianxiang, Ren Tianxiang's little face was also tightly wrinkled.

After thinking for a while, I saw Ren Tianqi nodding, and his tone became serious: "Okay, I understand." I'll immediately go and notify the Dragon Club base in Xifeng Province and ask them to send someone to rescue them quickly. However, they still need to survey the terrain over there before they can come up with a final rescue plan......"

Speaking of this, Ren Tianqi paused for a moment, and then immediately said, "But I promise you, they will arrive in an hour at the latest." ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

"It's okay...... Also, does Your Majesty know about this?"

"Your Majesty, he ......" Ren Tianxiang was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

It's still that problem, His Majesty Xingheng has long known that such a thing will happen here, but he still hasn't made any moves, and he hasn't even asked Ren Tianxiang, who is most likely to stop this matter, to make any redemptions.

The lives of those people are gone, which makes Ren Tianxiang the most angry.

"Your Majesty, he ...... I've known this for a long time. Ren Tianxiang finally said this problem that he was not willing to admit.

Hearing this answer, Ren Tianqi was obviously a little stunned, but he hid his emotions well, and almost instantly, he had already changed his expression and said, "Since this is the case, then let the members of the Dragon Society help as much as you want." After the military parade, the Dragon Society has been recognized by the Star Emperor, and after that, if we participate in the rescue, maybe the Star Emperor will trust us. ”

β€œ...... I understand. Ren Tianxiang nodded, then said goodbye to Ren Tianxiang and directly closed the communication.

He understood...... No, he didn't understand it at all...... Maybe it can't be said that he doesn't understand, it's just that he doesn't want to understand.

Whether it is Xingheng or Ren Tianqi, they are using the word "benefit" to measure the lives of these people.

And all he can do is do his best to save them...... Nothing more.
