"Zhou County Order, come and entertain your people."

Fang Yuan didn't continue, but beckoned to Zhou Kaile.

Zhou Kaile is the county magistrate of Yushe County and the parent official of the people of Yushe County.

"Old man, please rest assured, this official will definitely find your relatives for you!"

Zhou Kaile walked over, first saluted Fang Yuan, and then led the old woman and the others to other places.

"Huang Shancong, where has it been dug up?"

Fang Yuan summoned Huang Shancong and asked.

There are still four families trapped in the Wudongshan mine.

But it's not the current mine, it should be another, the one discovered by Huang Shancong.

"Over here!"

"It takes time to walk from here for a stick of incense."

Huang Shancong also thought of this possibility and pointed in one direction.

"Zheng Jiu, take half of the security guards to search Wudongshan again to see where there are still people who have been dug up?"

"The other half of the security guards asked them to look around Wudong Mountain to see if there were any villages and ask about the situation in the last few days."

Fang Yuan nodded, and then summoned Zheng Jiu to command.

Wudang Mountain was very large, and it would take several hours to walk from the foot of this side of the mountain to the foot of the other side, and Fang Yuan felt that it was necessary to check it again.

And who stole the coal, we have to find out!

"Yes!"

Zheng Jiu should be leaving.

"Huang Shancong, you lead the way."

"Miaoyan, let's go for a walk together."

Fang Yuan asked Huang Shancong to lead the way.

You don't have to go there in person.

But since you have come to Wudong Mountain, let's see how big it is.

It can also estimate how many coal mines there are in Wudongshan, how long they can be mined, and so on.

"Okay."

Du Miaoyan has no opinion.

"Fang Tingshi, it's none of our brother and sister's business, right?"

"Can our brother and sister go?"

Xue Jiaoyan trotted over and said with a smile.

She breathed a sigh of relief to see that everyone had been rescued.

Presumably it has nothing to do with me, so I should be able to leave.

"No, let's keep up."

Fang Yuan shook his head.

Let Huang Shan Cong lead the way, and then follow.

"Why?"

"Isn't there no more about my brother and sister?"

Xue Jiaoyan stomped her feet angrily and quickly followed Shangyuan.

Seeing this, Xue Bowu naturally followed his sister.

"Did you hear the old woman?"

Fang Yuan said as he walked.

"I hear you."

"It's none of our business!"

Xue Jiaoyan emphasized.

I stole coal right next to this mine.

If the workers of this mine are rescued, then it will be fine.

Even if there is a mine in other places, even if there is a collapse, it has nothing to do with me.

"Relevant."

"If the mine in Wudongshan collapses, there will be a fatal accident."

"Then the first official who was implicated was Zhou Kaile, and the second was the official, and the official didn't want to be implicated, so you have to take the blame."

Fang Yuan said calmly.

When the words fell, Xue Jiaoyan stiffened in the distance.

Du Miaoyan, who was passing by, glanced at her, shook her head and smiled and ignored it.

Since ancient times, officials have been like this, and if you want to blame Xue Jiaoyan's bad luck, stealing coal and falling into this crisis.

"Fang Yuan, you bastard, why are you?"

Xue Jiaoyan came back to her senses.

She was so angry that her face turned blue and she stomped her feet fiercely.

But because this is a mountain road, the road is steep and difficult to walk.

As soon as she stomped her foot like this, she immediately fell to the ground with stars in her eyes.

"Sister!"

Xue Bowu was shocked.

Hurriedly helped Xue Jiaoyan up.

"I'm, at me."

Xue Jiaoyan struggled to get up and rushed towards Fang Yuan angrily.

"Sister, do you want me to beat him up?"

Xue Bowu stared at Fang Yuan's back, his eyes fierce and fierce.

"Beat, beat, beat, all day long I know about fighting, believe it or not I beat you?"

Xue Jiaoyan stopped, turned around and raised her small fist, staring at her brother fiercely.

"Hee-hee, I'm kidding, I'm kidding."

Xue Bowu waved his hand again and again.

The fierce appearance just now turned into a flattering in a blink of an eye.

"Remember for me in the future, don't always think about fighting."

Xue Jiaoyan snorted coldly.

He walked quickly in the direction of Fang Yuan.

"Oh."

Xue Bowu scratched his head.

It felt like I wasn't listening.

"Fang Yuan, why are you doing this to me?"

Xue Jiaoyan chased after Shang Yuan and asked.

"Xue Jiaoyan, you're so annoying, don't talk, right?"

"You'd better just look forward to getting through this matter safely now, so that you're good and your own official is good."

Fang Yuan didn't explain, and said indifferently.

There may be a driving force behind this.

Zhu Dalang's old mother was reminded by the "kind fellow" that it must not be simple.

"You bastard!"

Xue Jiaoyan scolded again.

But he did become obedient, and he didn't ramble anymore.

She and Xue Bowu followed Fang Yuan, walked for nearly a stick of incense, and came to the coal mine discovered by Huang Shancong.

But it is clear that there was no collapse here.

"It's weird."

"Isn't there a third place here?"

Huang Shancong's face was ugly.

Just one Wu Dongshan himself couldn't even look at it.

In addition to this, there is even a possibility that other places have been stolen and dug up.

Dereliction of duty, great dereliction of duty!

Xue Jiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the empty mine.

was about to speak, but Huang Shancong fell to his knees with a puff.

"Master, it's my dereliction of duty, please punish me!"

Huang Shancong lowered his head and said with shame on his face.

"Punishment must not be avoided."

"But it's up to the results."

"Huang Shancong, you'd better make meritorious contributions!"

Fang Yuan's face was also ugly, and he said in a deep voice.

Wu Dongshan is very large, so Fang Yuan did not blame him after learning about stealing coal and digging coal.

However, after discovering that he had stolen coal and secretly excavated coal, he was able to leak what he had not found, which was a huge dereliction of duty.

"Thank you, Master!"

Huang Shancong stood up and said ashamedly.

"Go back!"

"Draw people from the state capital!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Originally, Xue Jiaoyan wanted to say something.

But seeing that Fang Yuan's face was so ugly, he didn't dare to speak.

The crowd returned.

As soon as he returned, Zheng Jiu also hurried back.

"Governor, a mine has been discovered, and it has collapsed."

Zheng Jiu said in a deep voice.

"Lead the way!"

Fang Yuan's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice.

He also noticed that there were more people at the scene.

There are dozens more people in Zhou Kaile, and there are dozens more people at the foot of the mountain.

In total, there may be hundreds of people, and the news of the mine collapse may have spread.

At this time,

"Lord Thorn? That's Lord Thorn! ”

"Lord Thorn, where is my child now?"

Someone on Zhou Kaile's side recognized Fang Yuan.

After seeing Fang Yuan, he immediately walked towards Fang Yuan in surprise.

Seeing this, other family members also walked in the direction of Fang Yuan.

There were thirty or forty people, so frightened that Zheng Jiu hurriedly blocked in front of Fang Yuan.

"Don't scare them."

Fang Yuan held Zheng Jiu's shoulder and walked to the front.

Caution is good, but it depends on the situation.

If the attitude is too cold, it will appear detached from the masses.

Zheng Jiu should have retreated behind Fang Yuan, but he was very close.

"Lord Thorn, do you know where my rice is?"

This is an old man, his hair has turned gray and is almost gone.

The teeth were almost gone, and when I opened my mouth to speak, I only saw two yellow front teeth.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely help you find your family."

"You follow the Zhou County Order first, and I have to find your family members now."

Fang Yuan comforted.

"I, I don't believe him, I believe you."

"You keep my family alive, I only trust you."

The old man secretly glanced at Zhou Kaile, approached Fang Yuan, and said in a low voice.

Although his voice is muffled, it may be that his ears are not sensitive, but he is actually quite loud.

Zhou Kaile, who was not far away, heard this, and turned his head aside in shame, not daring to face Fang Yuan.

He has only been in office for a month, and he has not yet established his prestige in Yushe County, and it is normal for the people not to believe it.

Du Miaoyan also heard the old man's words, and looked at Fang Yuan's eyes with pride, she remembered that the people had also said such things to her father.

"Old man, thank you for your trust."

Fang Yuan was inexplicably moved.

A warm current welled up in my heart.

It's a blessing to be trusted.

"Fang Thorn Shi, take us with you to find it."

"Rest assured, we won't hold you back."

The old man pleaded.

Others chimed in.

"Then you can keep along."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and sighed.

Although Wudong Mountain is large, it has already attracted attention.

It won't take long for them to find a place even if they don't take them there.

Rather than that, it's better to just let them follow.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

The old man and others thanked him again and again.

Everyone was also grateful.

"Zhou County Order, you are responsible for taking care of them."

Fang Yuan glanced at Zhou Kaile and said.

Then apologize to the old man and the old woman.

Then, under Li Ke's call, the group of workers who had just rescued quickly followed.

They were all rescuers, and they had to go to the new coal mine to rescue them.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and there was just over an hour left before it got dark.

Soon, Fang Yuan and the others arrived at another mine one after another.

After seeing the mine, Fang Yuan's face became grim.

It is a cave entrance that collapsed from the inside, and there are many large stones.

The large stone at the entrance alone may take a long time to remove it.

Some people looked at the situation in front of them, and immediately cried, whining and spreading in Wudong Mountain.

"Bring all the people to the foot of the mountain."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Soon, whether the people wanted it or not, they were driven to the foot of the mountain.

"Fang Thorn Shi, what can I do about this?"

Zhou Kaile walked over, his face ugly.

Before he could start the rescue, he felt that it was more difficult than the rescue just now.

"Huang Shancong, take someone to check the situation and determine if the personnel are safe?"

Fang Yuan did not answer, but ordered Huang Shancong to do something.

The old woman and her son have not yet been found, and nine times out of ten they are here.

"Yes!"

Huang Shancong's deep voice should be.

Bring all the absentees with you.

"Zhou County Order, as the county commander of Yushe County, do you know what the consequences will be if someone dies in the territory under your jurisdiction?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Fang Thorn Shi, please say anything you are told!"

Zhou Kaile was taken aback, and his expression became extremely serious.

He has been the chief bookkeeper all these years, and it is the first time he has been a county magistrate, but he also knows a little.

If you have jurisdiction over the dead in your territory, if you can suppress it, then there is nothing.

However, if it cannot be suppressed, suspension and reflection are the lightest, and the possibility of demotion is relatively high, and dismissal is also possible.

All this can be said to be decided by Fang Yuan's top boss, and now his fate is in Fang Yuan's hands.

But so many people at the scene knew that Fang Yuan might not cover him.

"Do you know who has appeared in Wudongshan these days?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, and glanced at Zhou Kaile and said.

Obviously, Zhou Kaile misunderstood what Fang Yuan meant.

Fang Yuan wanted Zhou Kaile to know the seriousness of the matter, so that he could devote himself more fully to the rescue and find the truth.

Because more than an hour has passed since the first mine rescue incident, more than 100 people have appeared, but there are no more officials in Yushe County, which shows that Zhou Kaile has no intentions.

"Huh?"

"No, didn't notice."

Zhou Kaile was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a panic.

He also realized that he had misunderstood what Fang Yuan meant.

"If you don't notice, go and mobilize all the officials to search!"

Fang Yuan was dissatisfied with his attitude and said in a low tone.

"Yes, yes, the next official will do it."

Zhou Kaile hurriedly responded.

Hurry away and give orders to the officials present.

At this time, the investigating Huang Shancong returned.

"Master, there are people inside, but the situation is unknown."

Huang Shancong said in a deep voice.

Through the ringing of the mountains, there is also a knocking transmission inside, which proves that there are people inside.

But it is not known how many people were in it, and whether there were casualties.

"According to the negotiation process just now, organize the team to discuss a rescue plan."

Fang Yuan ordered.

The field workers were assembled again.

Unfortunately, the discussion did not go as smoothly as it had just begun.

Because no one has ever entered this mine, they don't know what's going on inside.

"Why don't you dig the hole wider, and then push the big rock away?"

Zhou Kaile became positive and proposed.

"That's all it can be."

"Xue Bowu, you also go to help."

Fang Yuan commanded.

It was not early, and soon it would be dark.

It was even more difficult to rescue when it was dark, and it could not be discussed like this anymore.

Soon, the crowd began to rescue.

may have been said by Fang Yuan, this time Zhou Kaile is very positive.

As a county commander, he fought on the front line and took the initiative to pick up a hoe to dig up the soil at the mouth of the cave.

At this time, they were sent out to check if there were any village security guards around to report the situation to Zheng Jiu.

"Zhou Zun, some people saw Zhou County Ling secretly leaving from Wudong Mountain with people in the early hours of the morning, and it seemed that they were still carrying things."

Zheng Jiu brought a middle-aged person and reported.

"Is it him?"

"Are you sure?"

Fang Yuan frowned, looked at the middle-aged people he brought and asked.

It turned out to be Zhou Kaile?

What does he want coal for?

Moreover, when a person is trapped to death, he does not take the initiative to save him, and he is not afraid of implicating himself?

No, after he was instructed by himself, he is now the most active in saving people.

"Yes, yes, I see it clearly."

"I was in the grass at the time, and I saw them sneaking by, and I could see them very clearly."

"I was embarrassed and didn't dare to get up, so I kept squatting, and they didn't notice me."

The middle-aged people sneered.

"Okay, thank you."

Fang Yuan nodded.

Let people take him down, and watch him first, and don't let him go back.

Then someone called Zhou Kaile over.

"Zhou Kaile, are you stealing coal?"

Fang Yuan stared at Zhou Kaile and asked.

Zhou Kaile's eyes suddenly widened, and his expression changed greatly.
