The West Hill Mine incident was named the August 26 Incident. This seemingly ordinary mining disaster, unexpectedly, was poked out by a tabloid, which attracted the attention of the province.

The above sent someone to investigate, but before this check, a number of illegal operations were found. First of all, the mining of the Xishan mine destroyed the local ecological environment, which was forbidden by name, but Mayor Chen, who was in charge of Pingdu at the time, actually gave the mining rights to the southern businessmen. And this southern businessman contracted this mine to Wang Youcai.

Now that the problem has been poked out, there is no reason to ignore it. Mayor Chen, the first person responsible, has been arrested for other problems, and the current mayor Wang Youdao can be said to know nothing about this matter, but he cannot escape responsibility. Many leaders of the Land Bureau, the Water Conservancy Bureau, and the Municipal Forestry Bureau were also investigated for this matter.

Vice Mayor Chen Jiang presided over the leadership group of Pingdu City and held an important meeting for the August 26 accident. At the meeting, everyone unanimously voted to completely seal down the Xishan mine, followed by to appease the families of the victims and investigate the criminal responsibility of those responsible.

This will be held from the morning to more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and the participants did not even eat at noon, because the impact of this incident is not small. Wang Youdao sat on the side, constantly recording the important content of the meeting, and he couldn't say a word, because this matter involved his own brother.

In the end, seeing that it was difficult for everyone to make a decision, Wang Youdao raised his hand and said: "The boss in the south has an unshirkable responsibility for the 8.26 accident, and it is difficult for Wang Youcai to pursue him, so I suggest that even if he digs three feet into the ground, Wang Youcai must be arrested and brought to justice, and he will be sentenced to as many years as he should be."

"Mayor Wang and I agree on the same opinion, do you have anything else to say?" As soon as Chen Jiang heard Wang Youdao's expression, he immediately followed Wang Youdao and said. He didn't have any good feelings for this Wang Youcai, but he felt that as long as this Wang Youcai didn't go in, he would threaten him in some things.

Several other mayors and heads of various ministries did not speak for a while, and Ouyang Hong, who had not been on work for a short time, glanced at everyone and said: "It is true that Wang Youdao is the main person responsible, but have you thought about it, arrest him, what about the people who were killed and injured?" ”

"Mayor Ouyang, do you mean that you don't want to catch the king's wealth? I'm afraid it's not good! Which family members of the victims and the families of the injured can agree? Chen Jiang immediately asked rhetorically.

Ouyang Hong smiled and said: "When I say this, it is not my opinion, but the opinion of the families of these miners. Here is a joint letter from 68 miners and their families. They demanded that Wang Youcai not be arrested, but that Wang Youcai do his best to provide pensions for the miners who were killed, compensation for the injuries of the miners, and more than a month's wages for these people."

"If Wang Youcai is arrested, who will pay so much money? These more than sixty people will not agree," Ouyang Hong said, placing a thick stack of joint letters in front of Chen Jiang.

Chen Jiang asked a little unpleasantly, "Mayor Ouyang, how did these letters come to you?" ”

"Mayor Chen! I didn't mean to overstep my authority, but when I went to visit these miners in the hospital yesterday, everyone unanimously asked me to bring them here. Also, although Wang Youcai didn't show up, he had already called 200,000 yuan to his subordinates and advanced the treatment fees of these injured miners," Ouyang Hong said with a serious face.

Wang Youdao, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but glance at Ouyang Hong. It wasn't until now that he felt that Ouyang Hong was upright, and he thought that Ouyang Hong would also be like Chen Jiang to Wang Youcai.

Chen Jiang handed these joint letters to several leaders attending the meeting, and the opinions on them were pertinent and could not be seen to be false.

Chen Jiang thought for a moment and said: "The law is fair, and whoever violates the law must be punished by the law, but sometimes we have to deal with it appropriately." If Wang Youcai is really dealt with in such a matter, what about the pensions of the families of the victims and the treatment of the injured? Besides, he's just a contractor."

Chen Jiang is worthy of working hard in officialdom for many years, and as soon as he saw these joint letters, his attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn. When something happens, pacification is the most important thing. As long as the families of these miners don't make trouble, this matter will be easy to handle. Even if Wang Youcai is arrested, the affairs of these family members are not handled properly, and this matter is still not over.

As soon as Chen Jiang said this, the leaders began to talk to each other. The final conclusion is to conform to the people's righteousness, and Wang Youcai will not grasp it for the time being.

When the meeting ended, Chen Jiang walked up to Ouyang Hong and whispered, "Mayor Ouyang!" Do you mean that Wang Youcai still has a connection with his men? ”

"Mayor Chen! I warn you that you must no longer think about the king's wealth. Although the others did not show up, he secretly let his subordinates take care of these things. As long as he doesn't arrest him, he will find a way to get the money, and if he is alarmed, he can do it as soon as he runs" Ouyang Hong said in a low voice.

Chen Jiang nodded and said: "You are right, you should let the people of the accident team negotiate with the families of the miners and set the compensation standard as soon as possible, so that Wang Youcai can raise money."

"Mayor Chen! Is there a sentence I don't know if I should say or not? Ouyang Hong said suddenly.

Chen Jiang smiled and said, "Mayor Ouyang, if you have something to say, just say it." Your remarks just now remind me to a certain extent that if we blindly demand that Wang Youcai be brought to justice, then who will pay for the rest of the mess? That's going to be a problem."

"Since you say so, I'll be bold enough to say it. 8.26 I think our leaders should be held accountable for this matter, and they must be held accountable. As for dealing with the aftermath, I don't think the government should come forward, let Wang Youcai negotiate with these miners himself, if the other party reaches an agreement, Wang Youcai will do it, won't this matter be over" Ouyang Hong said with a slight smile.

Chen Jiang frowned and asked, "What if the negotiation is not good, or if Wang Youcai does not implement it effectively?" “

"Then it's business, now what we have to do is to do a good job of condolences from the government, so that the people feel that we care about them, but we still need to supervise" Ouyang Hong finished speaking, and turned around and left.

Chen Jiang was stunned, he didn't understand a little, this Ouyang Hong's qualifications as a leader were far worse than him, but her ideas were indeed realistic, although this was against the principle, but it could solve practical problems.

The first night Wang Youcai lived in Yao Chunni, he was tantamount to staying awake all night. Because when he went to buy a shop in Baishui Town, he secretly called Tianwa.

Tian Wa told him that the boss of the south had been arrested by the local police because he had bribed Mayor Chen to obtain the mining rights of the Xishan mine. The Xishan mine has been seized, and he is basically nothing.

The treatment cost of more than a dozen injured miners is more than 100,000 yuan. If you compensate them a little more, you will get at least more than 300,000 yuan. The little he saved in the card has been given to Tian Wa.

The most terrible thing is the families of the three miners who were killed, they unanimously said that each of them must pay 500,000 yuan, and the three can cost 1.5 million, where will he get it?

However, Tian Wa said on the phone that he and Liu Changgui were negotiating with the families. If he can talk about 300,000 yuan, Wang Youcai has already thought about it, plus a little money from the company's finances, he will buy the building again, and what machinery and equipment will he buy.

But it's not enough. Wang Youcai kept turning over and over, but fortunately this was a clay kang and he couldn't hear any sound. Wang Youcai really couldn't sleep, so he slowly sat up and put on his clothes. He gently opened the door and walked out.

There is still a little coolness at night in the mountains. Wang Youcai stood at the door, looking at the stars in the sky, and there was an indescribable discomfort in his heart. I didn't expect him to be rich and mixed up to this point today.

He thought that he could make a fortune by relying on Xishan Mining, but he saw that he would soon become a rich man in Pingdu from an authentic old farmer, but who would have thought that such a big event would happen.

Since there was no moon, the courtyard was still a little dark, although the sky was full of stars. Wang Youcai didn't dare to walk around, and stood by the muddy wall, looking at the mountains looming in the distance.

Suddenly, there was a woman's joy* voice in the east room. Wang Youcai was shocked, and the whole person suddenly came to his senses. He pricked up his ears to listen, but the sound disappeared in an instant, it may be that Yao Chunni is dreaming of spring.

It's a small courtyard that looks poor. In a small courtyard surrounded by mud blocks, there is a newly built tiled house on the east side, and Yao Chunni lives in this house. The main room is against the mountain, with a total of three rooms. The two rooms in the main house are where Yao Chunni's mother-in-law, who is in her sixties, lives. The next room is the kitchen. Wang Youcai lived in the West House, a total of two rooms, except for a kang, all the peasants and sundries.

Because Wang Youcai paid a lot of money to live in their house, Yao Chunli and her mother-in-law cleaned up the sundries in the house, and it seemed to be a lot neater.

What's worse is that Chen Village is in the mountains, far away from other villages, so until now there is no electricity. At night, the kerosene lamp used by the people of Xiping Village more than ten years ago, looking at everything here, Wang Youcai at that time had a feeling of returning to the past in a trance.

Dinner was simple, a pair of shredded potatoes and a plate of fried peppers. The three of them ate together, and during the meal, in order to show his sincerity, Wang Youcai first prepaid a thousand yuan for Yao Chunni's mother-in-law Li Lanhua, which made the old lady very happy.

However, Wang Youcai found that Yao Chunni's mother-in-law was a powerful master, and her two eyes kept staring at him and Yao Chunni, so after eating a meal, Yao Chunni didn't even raise her head.

This Wang Youcai still understands a little, in the process of eating, Wang Youcai learned from Yao Chunni's mother-in-law that all the young people in Chen Village went out to work with the village chief, and all the people left in the village were old people and women, or children.

You said that such a beautiful Yao Chunni lives in the same courtyard with a man like him who likes beautiful women, can her mother-in-law not have more than one heart? Definitely not. One is not careful, maybe the two of them will sleep together.

The more Yao Chunni avoided his eyes, it showed that this woman had more ghosts in her heart, and Wang Youcai was the most experienced in this. Over the years, there are still many women who have been better with her, and he somewhat understands what these women are thinking. Maybe it's a look, maybe it's an action.

Wang Youcai thought about good things, and slowly forgot about his worries. Suddenly, Wang Youcai felt a slight noise behind him, oh my God! It can't be a wild wolf running into the yard!

His heart was lifted in an instant, and he had to die anyway. Thinking of this, Wang Youcai turned around violently, and he almost screamed in fright.

Behind him was not a wild wolf, but Yao Chunni's mother-in-law Li Lanhua was standing. This frightened Wang Youcai a lot, and he immediately scolded: "What are you doing? I want to scare people to death, right? “
