Three days later.

Wang Chengzhe will pay 50% of the deposit to Liu Chengan and sign the relevant agreement.

Liu Chengan held a mobilization meeting at the cement factory and began to build a cement road from Liaozhou City to Liaoshan County.

The news was deliberately amplified by the Liaoshan Wang family, causing the families and people of one city and three counties to know about it.

Fang Yuan naturally would not prevent this kind of thing from happening, for him, the political achievements of Liaoshan County are also his political achievements.

On this day, Huang Shancong came to report.

"Master, there was a coal theft incident in the coal mine, and two or three hundred catties of coal were lost in the coal pile."

"And there are people who steal our coal from other places, and I'm afraid they have dug up thousands to tens of thousands of catties."

Huang Shancong reported respectfully.

Now the coal mine has not been built, and the coal of Wudong Mountain is stacked at the foot of Wudong Mountain.

And because of the immaturity of mining technology, Huang Shancong did not dare to mine quickly, almost as much as he wanted, so there was not much coal piled up at the foot of Wudong Mountain.

So it was easy to notice if you didn't see some of the coal, and then Huang Shancong began to inspect and found that someone was digging a coal mine from another part of Wudong Mountain.

Wudong Mountain is very big, Huang Shancong thought at first that it was just a thief stealing coal and did not report it, but found that there were still people digging coal from another place, so he reported it to Fang Yuan.

Although both things are coal stealing, they are very different in nature.

"Someone stealing coal?!"

"Since when?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

Many people are already aware of the existence of coal mines.

Because of the implementation of honeycomb coal, more and more people know about the use of coal.

But for most people, they need less coal and almost exclusively for heating.

Firewood is used to make a fire to cook rice, after all, firewood does not cost money, and the mountains are full of trees, which is inexhaustible.

For a small number of people, it must be used for large-scale forging, just dig coal secretly, why dig and steal to increase the risk of being discovered.

Is it because you don't steal enough, so you have to dig it yourself?

"About three or four days ago."

Huang Shancong said uncertainly.

"You keep staring."

Fang Yuan's face sank, and he thought of a possibility.

He still remembered what Xue Jiaoyan mentioned a few days ago, saying that he was going to steal coal.

It's just not sure if it's or not, and if it is, it's too stupid to tell yourself in advance about stealing coal.

"Okay."

Huang Shancong left.

"Zheng Jiu, are you going to see what the Xue family sisters and brothers are doing?"

Fang Yuan instructed Zheng Jiu on the side.

"Yes."

Zheng Jiu took a few people and left.

About half an hour later, only Zheng Jiu came back.

"Zhou Zun, I found a batch of coal at the Xue family's sister and brother's house, and I also saw that their sister and brother were imitating honeycomb coal."

"The person I brought was discovered by Xue Bowu and knocked unconscious by him, please instruct the governor."

Zheng Jiu gasped, his face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly.

This is a disadvantage for the teacher, and they all deliberately brought the master over, but they were still discovered.

It's nothing if you're discovered, the point is that you're knocked out without even having a chance to escape.

Even he was discovered, and he escaped after being punched, and now the whole person feels uncomfortable.

"Zheng Jiu, what do you think of Xue Bowu?"

Fang Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he pondered for a moment before speaking.

Fang Yuan, who had already guessed that the coal was stolen by the Xue family's sisters and brothers, was not shocked.

But the few people Zheng Jiu brought with him couldn't come back, which was what Fang Yuan was surprised by.

Zheng Jiu is a master among the three hundred state officials, and the top ones are not bad in the past, but they can't come back.

Originally, Fang Yuan already felt that Xue Bowu was very strong, but now he felt that he still underestimated him.

"A fool, it's just that brute force is terrible."

Zheng Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.

He fought with Xue Bowu twice, once at the development meeting and once just now.

The first time I underestimated the enemy, so it was difficult to assess how powerful Xue Bowu was.

But just now he was serious, but he still lost, Xue Bowu's strength was stronger than he imagined.

"Send someone to the Royal Commercial House to ask if Du Miaoyan is there, if she is there, say that the official will go to her, if she is not there, forget it."

"You gather a few more masters and go with the official again."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Xue Bowu is a master, and he should belong to the super master.

Even Zheng Jiu was not his opponent, and there was a high probability that no one in the Fang Mansion guards was his opponent.

If Xue Bowu can be taken into the bag, it will be a great help.

"Yes."

Zheng Jiu went down quickly.

Half an hour later, the carriage was ready, Fang Yuan set off, first went to the Royal Commercial Bank, and picked up Du Miaoyan to get on the car.

"Fang Yuan, what's going on?"

Du Miaoyan asked eagerly.

After she learned what Fang Yuan meant, she stopped what she was doing and waited for Fang Yuan.

However, the matter in her hands is not very important, that is, she replied to Wang Shiyu.

Since Wang Shiyu left, a letter has been delivered to her every three days.

"The Xue family sister and brother stole coal and I found out."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He felt that stealing coal must be the Xue family's siblings.

But digging here, Fang Yuan wasn't sure if it was the other party.

"Huh?"

"Do you need to come to the door in person?"

Du Miaoyan was a little speechless.

I thought it was something important, but I didn't want it to be a theft.

This kind of thing Fang Yuan also does it himself, so if you don't talk about it, the people below won't have a chance to show it.

"That's a secondary reason."

"I wonder if I can use this incident to subdue their siblings."

"Xue Bowu is very strong, if he can be used by me, it will be a big help."

Fang Yuan explained.

There are many masters around him, but there are no very powerful masters.

But like Du Miaoyan, like Li Junxian, like Xue Bowu, no.

Pei Yinghua has said that all Pei heirs may use him as a stepping stone.

If this is the case, it will be a very dangerous thing and will need to be protected by super masters.

"I see."

"If you can take it, that's really good."

Du Miaoyan suddenly realized.

Immediately, he felt that Fang Yuan was wise, and he even thought of subduing their sister and brother.

The carriage moved forward quickly, and it didn't take long for Fang Yuan and the others to arrive at the Xue family's sister and brother mansion.

At this time, the door of the Xue family's sister and brother's mansion was closed, and the door was closed in broad daylight.

"Bump away."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Zheng Jiu and the others immediately stepped forward and slammed the door with brute force.

With a bang, the door was slammed open, and a sense of obsolescence came to my face.

The Xue family's siblings' mansion looks quite old, but everything is quite clean.

"What for?"

"What for?"

"Who dares to break into my house?"

Xue Jiaoyan's voice sounded at this time.

Then Fang Yuan and the others saw Xue Jiaoyan trotting out, and Xue Bowu followed closely behind.

As soon as they appeared, Fang Yuan and the others' faces became strange.

Not to mention that the clothes of the two sisters and brothers are dirty, and their faces are black here and there.

At this time, Xue Jiaoyan's nose flowed, her black and slippery hand wiped it off directly, and her nose also turned black.

"Xue Jiaoyan, you dare to steal your official's coal, can you be guilty?"

Fang Yuan became serious, with a straight face, and said in a deep voice.

"You fart!"

"Which eye did you see me stealing your coal?"

Xue Jiaoyan snorted and crossed her hands on her waist and said.

"Which eye?"

"You siblings look at each other to see which one it is?"

Fang Yuan sneered.

Xue Jiaoyan was puzzled, but still looked at Xue Bowu.

"Brother, your face is so dirty."

"Sister, your face is so dirty."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Jiaoyan felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly covered her face with her hands.

"This, this, this is ash, yes, this is ash!"

Xue Jiaoyan's eyes rolled, and she refused to admit it.

"Ash?"

"Xue Jiaoyan, do you know how many years the sentence is for stealing?"

"The person who also injured the official, you have eaten the gall of a bear and a leopard."

Fang Yuan said coldly.

The momentum is terrifying and terrifying, and the official authority is very strict.

"I, you."

Xue Jiaoyan was frightened.

Take a step back in a panic.

"You are not allowed to bully my sister!"

Xue Bowu let out a loud shout, stood in front of Xue Jiaoyan, and glared at Fang Yuan angrily.

Du Miaoyan immediately stepped forward and stood side by side with Fang Yuan, ready to make a move at any time.

Zheng Jiu and the others were the same, so nervous that they put their hands on the hilt of the knife and prepared to take out the knife.

"Don't!"

"Little brother, stand down!"

Xue Jiaoyan hurriedly shouted.

"Sister, don't worry."

"A few of them together are no match for me."

Xue Bowu turned his head and smiled reassuringly.

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Jiu and the others seemed to be insulted, and their eyes became colder.

Du Miaoyan also frowned slightly, feeling that Xue Bowu was too arrogant.

Only Fang Yuan was happy in his heart, and he was even more sure that Xue Bowu was strong.

Everyone thought that a war was about to break out.

however

"Fight, fight, you know to fight, go aside!"

Xue Jiaoyan jumped up and rewarded Xue Bowu with a chestnut.

With a bang, Fang Yuan and the others seemed to be able to feel the pain in it.

"Ahh

Xue Bowu suddenly covered his head in pain.

Aggrieved Baba walked away and retreated behind Xue Jiaoyan.

"Fang Tingshi, why do you say that I stole your coal?"

Xue Jiaoyan stood up and snorted coldly.

"The official's people saw it."

Fang Yuan looked at Xue Jiaoyan in surprise.

was almost about to go to war, but Xue Jiaoyan spoke out to stop it.

Do you think you can fool the past with just a few words, or what's going on?

But in any case, if it can be solved without force, it can be solved without force, after all, the other side is not an enemy.

"I just saw your sister and brother imitating honeycomb coal, and they also knocked out a few state officials."

Zheng Jiu interjected and said in a deep voice.

He relaxed a lot, not as nervous as he had just been.

But the right hand is still on the hilt so that the knife can be drawn at any time.

"You said yes, yes?"

"I also said you just peeked at my housekeeper taking a shower."

Xue Jiaoyan rolled her eyes and said speechlessly.

"Isn't it, let's go and see."

Zheng Jiu's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice.

He's a serious man, what kind of old man to watch?

As he spoke, Zheng Jiu was about to walk to the backyard of the Xue family's siblings' mansion.

"Stop!"

"This is my house, not just enter if you want to."

Xue Jiaoyan stopped Zheng Jiu and said coldly.

"Get out of the way!"

Zheng Jiu drank coldly, and stretched out his hand to push Xue Jiaoyan away.

But as soon as his hand was stretched out, he froze before he could touch Xue Jiaoyan.

In this moment, he felt like he was being targeted by something super terrifying.

looked over with his feelings and found that Xue Bowu was staring at him fiercely.

Zheng Jiu was very sure that if he ran into Xue Jiaoyan, Xue Bowu would definitely rush over.

After pondering for a moment, Zheng Jiu finally withdrew his hand and looked at Fang Yuan.

"Xue Jiaoyan, this official Liaozhou Assassin History, don't say that your house is checked, even if your house is demolished, no one will say anything, what do you think?"

Fang Yuan glanced at Xue Bowu and said in a deep voice.

He also saw Xue Bowu looking at Zheng Jiu just now, and his eyes became fierce, like a wolf.

"You dare?!"

Xue Jiaoyan suddenly looked like a fried-haired lion.

"Obstructing the official from handling the case, do you think the official dares?"

Fang Yuan sneered.

"You, you bully our brother and sister!"

Xue Jiaoyan's eyes suddenly became rosy, as if she was about to cry.

At this time, someone outside the Xue Mansion had already noticed the arrival of Fang Yuan and the others.

Some curious people stopped, and some even approached this way.

"Xue Jiaoyan, this official is talking to you in a good voice, don't be ignorant!"

"You can try to stop it one more time, this official will leave directly, and what awaits you will be three hundred state officials who will forcibly break into Xue Mansion!"

Fang Yuan's face immediately turned cold.

A woman's tears are upset when she looks at them.

Xue Jiaoyan was already thin, and she cried as if she was bullying her.

Outsiders don't know, and they think they really bully their siblings.

This was something Fang Yuan couldn't bear, and he didn't want to mess around with Xue Jiaoyan anymore.

"You, you search, if you can't find it, I'm not done with you."

Xue Jiaoyan was frightened by Fang Yuan again.

Looking at Fang Yuan's serious face, she still didn't dare to say anything to stop her when she opened her mouth.

In the end, the grievances stepped aside, tears fell, and the black ash flowed down the tears, becoming more ugly and pitiful.

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, but ignored her and took the lead in entering the Xue family's sister and brother mansion.

Zheng Jiu quickened his pace, walked in the front and led the way, going to the place where they had just found their sister and brother imitating honeycomb coal.

"Bastard Fang Yuan, I'm not done with you."

Xue Jiaoyan wiped her tears, and her whole face was spent.

But she didn't mind and walked in the direction of the door.

"Whatever you see, get out of here."

Xue Jiaoyan scolded everyone outside the door and closed the door by the way.

"Broom star, who wants to see you."

A familiar person snorted coldly, turned around and left.

"You're the broom star, your whole family is the broom star."

Xue Jiaoyan was even more aggrieved, finally closed the door, and walked towards the place where Fang Yuan and the others went.

Xue Bowu didn't speak the whole time, followed Xue Jiaoyan's steps, and finally came to a courtyard where Fang Yuan and the others had already arrived.

"Look, I'll just say there's no coal, I'm not stealing your coal!"

Xue Jiaoyan said loudly.

The courtyard was empty, there was really no coal.

But

"Xue Jiaoyan, are you blind as an official?"

"This black cinder, did you really not see it or did you fake it?"

Fang Yuan's face darkened, and he was speechless.

The courtyard was empty and there was no coal.

But there was a large cinder on the ground.

Just by looking at it, you can see that there was a pile of coal here just now, and then it was relocated.

Coal is black, and if it is piled on the ground for a long time, it will stain the ground black, and even leave cinders, which are not easy to remove.

Looking at the traces on the ground, Fang Yuan guessed that the coal mine should have been piled up for three or four days, and it could match the time of Huang Shancong's time.

"It's charcoal ash, it's charcoal ash!"

Xue Jiaoyan shook her head and emphasized.

"Xue Jiaoyan, you don't die if you don't reach the Yellow River."

"Coal is hidden in. Well, right? ”

Fang Yuan smiled.

Take a look around the courtyard and walk towards the well.

The courtyard is empty, but there is a well here.

From this black circle to the well, there is a small amount of cinder on the ground.

"It's not!"

"Ahh You stop! ”

Xue Jiaoyan was shocked.

Hurriedly chased after Shang Yuan and blocked in front of Fang Yuan.

But in addition to Fang Yuan, Zheng Jiu and the others also moved and walked towards the well.

"Governor, the coal is in the well."

Zheng Jiu shouted.

When the words fell, Xue Jiaoyan was like a deflated ball.

Because of the drought some time ago, there was less water in the wells.

So much so that when Xue Jiaoyan's sister and brother threw the coal into the well, the coal was exposed.

Then Fang Yuan and the others came too quickly, and the two sisters and brothers had no way to solve this problem, so they could only put it on hold.

The black cinders on the ground were also too rushed, and the sister and brother couldn't remove them after sweeping them with brooms for a while, so they had to give up.

"Xue Jiaoyan, what else do you have to quibble?"

Fang Yuan sneered.

Looking down at Xue Jiaoyan, who was already short.

"I, I, that, can I go back to you?"

Xue Jiaoyan sneered.

At this point, she didn't dare to lie anymore.

"No, you can't."

"Stealing is going to jail."

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

"Wow, my life is so miserable."

"My father died early, my mother died early, and I only had one stupid brother."

"Arrest me and put me in jail, let me die in prison, woo woo"

Xue Jiaoyan knelt on the ground with a puff and cried.

"Xue Jiaoyan, don't pretend to be pitiful!"

"This well can't hold thousands of catties of coal, what about the rest?"

Fang Yuan's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice.

Xue Jiaoyan cried and made trouble every time, which made him speechless.

Although Xue Jiaoyan's background is really pitiful, it is not right to steal coal.

If you are found stealing coal, you will cry and make trouble, crying is useful, what else do you need laws and rules to do?

"What did you say?"

"Don't wronged me!"

"I only took two hundred pounds!"

When Xue Jiaoyan heard this, she immediately jumped up.

"Wudongshan not only has fewer coal piles."

"There are also people who have dug thousands of catties from another place."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"You, you, don't wronged me!"

"We are two sisters and brothers, how can we dig tens of thousands of catties?"

Xue Jiaoyan was so frightened that she didn't dare to shed tears.

The difference between two hundred catties and tens of thousands of catties is too much, the former should apologize and lose money, but the latter is sure to go to jail.

"It's really not you?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, as I thought.

The Xue family sisters and brothers are just stealing coal, and digging coal should have nothing to do with them.

It's just that apart from their sister and brother, who else will target the coal mine?

"It's not me!"

"I swear!"

Xue Jiaoyan raised three fingers at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan didn't speak immediately, thinking with a calm face.

Since it's not their brother and sister, let's try to subdue them first?

However, Fang Yuan hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Huang Shancong had come in a hurry at this time.

"Master, master, it's not good."

"The coal mine has collapsed, and a group of workers are trapped inside, and their lives and deaths are unknown."

Huang Shancong panted and said.

Not long ago, he bid farewell to Fang Yuan and returned to Wudong Mountain.

However, no sooner had he returned than he heard a loud boom.

The coal mine in Wudongshan collapsed, trapping a group of workers.

Huang Shancong was frightened stupidly, quickly let people rescue, and at the same time came back to report to Fang Yuan.

The crowd was shocked.

Xue Jiaoyan was even more frightened.

"Now it doesn't matter if your sister and brother dug it up or not, let's go with this official."

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

The coal mine collapsed, and the fate of a group of workers was unknown, and the matter was serious.

If it is caused by man and no one can be found, the Xue family sisters and brothers may have to carry this pot.
