Fang Yuan stared at him.

Seeing his expression change like this, my heart was even more convinced.

"Fang Thorn History, can you take a step to speak?"

Zhou Kaile's expression slowly recovered, and he said after a moment's silence.

There are Du Miaoyan around, as well as Xue Jiaoyan and others, and he has some words that he doesn't want others to hear.

"Into the tent."

Fang Yuan nodded.

Look at a tent on the side.

This is a newly built tent for sleeping out tonight.

There is a high probability that the people trapped in the mine collapse will not be successfully rescued today, and some people will be left to watch, and they may even be rescued overnight.

"Thank you."

Zhou Kaile was grateful, and at the same time relieved.

Soon, the two came to the tent, and Du Miaoyan and the others were left outside.

"Fang Tingshi, I'm sorry, the coal was indeed stolen by the lower officials."

"Xiaguan has no way, no money to support the construction of cement roads, so he made this decision."

Zhou Kaile said with shame on his face.

He knelt directly on the ground, lowering his head and not daring to look at Fang Yuan.

Wang Zhicheng refused to lend him money, he thought that now that coal was selling hot, he could make some money from it, and then take out his family funds, he should be able to barely make enough money, so he made this decision.

"Zhou County Order, if you have something to say, stand up and say it."

Fang Yuan was taken aback and said in a deep voice.

It's also a county order, and it's too ugly to talk on your knees.

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan got up without face, and asked Fang Tingshi to forgive Xiaguan, Xiaguan is willing to double the compensation for the coal dug up."

Zhou Kaile shook his head and said hoarsely.

He made a mistake, and Fang Yuan knew that his future was in Fang Yuan's hands.

If Fang Yuan can't be forgiven, then his career may end because of this.

For the sake of his career, what is this shame, he has not yet borne half of the shame of being a son-in-law in the Wang family.

"I don't know if the people in the mine are alive or dead, how can this official forgive you?"

Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel funny.

When proposing to build the road, Fang Yuan also felt that Zhou Kaile had a vision.

Now that the matter of rescue has not even been resolved, how can he be forgiven like this?

"No, no, Fang Thorn Shi, this mine was not dug by Xia Guan."

"The one that Xia Guan dug should be the one you left to see halfway, and it didn't collapse."

Zhou Kaile shook his head and explained again and again.

"Not you?!"

Fang Yuan frowned, and his face darkened.

So, there are three forces digging in a Wudong Mountain?!

To be precise, there are two forces stealing their own coal mines?!

"It's not a subordinate official."

"The first batch of officials brought by the lower officials can testify for the lower officials."

"We came early, not because we heard a loud noise, but because we kept looking here, and we came to help to cover up the reason why we had black hands."

Zhou Kaile said frankly.

Because of secretly digging coal in the past few days, the hands of Zhou Kaile and others have been dyed black.

Thinking of the accident in Wudongshan, if there is a death, then the county order will definitely be held responsible, and even blamed.

Therefore, when I came to the first mine to help, it was just to cover up the blackness, so that no one would notice the problem at that time.

It can be said that Zhou Kaile still pays attention to this detail.

However, he still didn't expect that Fang Yuan would still find out about him stealing coal.

Considering that there was another mine collapse in front of him, he didn't dare to hide it, hoping to confess and be lenient, and begged the net to open up.

"If it's not you, who could it be?"

Fang Yuan frowned and muttered.

A small Wudongshan was targeted by so many people.

The use of coal has not yet been popularized, and the world's perception should still stay at the point of baking fires for heating.

It's cold now, and I can make money selling coal, but it's already the end of November, and it's about to enter December, and after December it will be the following spring.

Soon it won't be so cold again, so why take such a big risk to steal coal again?

Fang Yuan felt that it was not an ordinary person who did it, at most ordinary people would steal a small part, and would not be bold enough to dig a coal mine.

"It's really not a lower official."

Zhou Kaile assured.

He lowered his head, his face was a little complicated, and he had some guesses in his heart.

But he opened his mouth and closed it, and in the end he still didn't say the guess in his heart.

"Get up."

"Get the people out first."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, as I thought, there was a push behind it.

With that, Fang Yuan bypassed Zhou Kaile and walked in the direction outside the tent.

"Fang Thorn History!"

Zhou Kaile suddenly shouted.

Kneel on the ground and walk in front of Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan stopped, his brows furrowed and looked at Zhou Kaile.

Zhou Kaile is also a county magistrate, or is he the son-in-law of the Liaoshan Wang family, can he be so humble?

"Fang Tingshi, you must know that I am the son-in-law of the Wang family, and I have to listen to the Wang family in doing things."

"But if you are willing to protect me, I am willing to be loyal to you in current affairs, and in the future, you will be ranked first, and the Wang family will be second!"

Zhou Kaile looked up at Fang Yuan and pleaded.

His eyeballs were bloodshot, aggrieved and humiliated.

Before I knew it, my fists were clenched, and my nails were stuck in my flesh.

Obviously, he is a county magistrate and a parent official, but he has no autonomy.

It can almost be said that every policy he wants to implement must first be approved by the Wang family.

This made him very aggrieved and wanted to get rid of the control of the Wang family.

But he was still very grateful to the Wang family for giving him the opportunity, so he didn't just listen to Fang Yuan's words, the Wang family came second.

"Do you have something to hide from your official?!"

Fang Yuan's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, staring deeply at Zhou Kaile.

Zhou Kaile is very wrong, there is no need for him to be so humble to himself.

Despite the collapse of the mine, as long as no one died, Zhou Kaile's responsibility was not great, almost none.

As for the case of stealing coal, considering that the new official and his predecessor were dismissed, and the local government needs stability, there is a high probability that the officials will not dismiss him, and the possibility of warning and punishment is the greatest.

And there is also the Wang family, as well as Wang Jue, etc., there is a high probability that he will be fine.

"I, I didn't."

Zhou Kaile shook his head and said.

"Why do you want to be loyal to this officer?"

Fang Yuan's brows furrowed, still suspecting that Zhou Kaile had something to hide from him.

But since the other party refuses to say, it is useless to continue to ask, so I will skip this question for the time being.

"I am not satisfied in the Wang family, although I am a son-in-law, but I am the following person."

"I originally had ambitions, but I didn't expect Wang Chengzhe to also be a county magistrate in Liaozhou."

"If there is no accident, all my efforts in the next six years will be to pave the way for Wang Chengzhe, I will be five years old today Chinese New Year's Eve, and I will be forty-one in another six years."

Zhou Kaile said in a deep voice.

He has been the chief bookkeeper for 18 years, and he is finally able to be a county magistrate and finally be able to realize his ambitions.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chengzhe also did the assassination history in Liaozhou, and was told to serve Wang Chengzhe, paving the way for Wang Chengzhe to be elected as the assassin of Liaozhou three years later.

There is an unwritten rule in officialdom that if an official over the age of forty is still below the seventh grade, then there is a high probability that he will be below the seventh grade in this life, unless there is a noble person who appreciates it very much.

It turned out that he was able to be a county magistrate, not because he was recognized by the Wang family because of his efforts, but because he served Wang Chengzhe.

"I don't really understand."

Fang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.

"The local county order and the assassin history are for three years, and you will be transferred after three years, and Wang Chengzhe will come to power."

Zhou Kaile gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

Three years later, Fang Yuan will be transferred.

If he is not transferred, someone will send Fang Yuan away.

Liaozhou's one city and three counties are already peaches targeted by others.

"Hehe, it's too early to target."

Fang Yuan smiled.

Three-year transfer is just a normal operation, and five-year transfer is also available.

And he is still an agent with a history of assassination, and there is a high probability that the agent can be added for an extra year or two.

Six or seven years, the Wang family is really early.

"Fang Tingshi, please accept me, I will definitely listen to you!"

Zhou Kaile said in a deep voice.

Revealing such important information about Fang Yuan, he was also worried that the Wang family would blame.

But if you want to get Fang Yuan's protection, you have to show some decent sincerity.

"Let's save people first."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

said, ignored Zhou Kaile anymore, and walked out.

Outside the tent.

When Du Miaoyan saw Fang Yuan walk out, he immediately walked up.

Xue Jiaoyan looked left and right, and also followed towards Fang Yuan.

"Fang Yuan, did you find anything?"

Xue Jiaoyan couldn't wait to ask.

It's about whether she wants to take the blame, and she has to be anxious.

"Don't you want to take the blame?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said with a smile.

"yes, yes."

Xue Jiaoyan nodded, like a chicken pecking rice.

"Promise the official one condition, and the official won't have to take the blame on you."

Fang Yuan's original intention was about to be revealed.

"On what terms?"

"You, you won't do it to me"

Xue Jiaoyan suddenly clasped her hands to her chest, retreated in panic, and stared at Fang Yuan with a cautious expression.

When Du Miaoyan heard this, she was almost choked by her own breathing, and looked at Xue Jiaoyan like a monster.

What the hell did she think, she was short and thin and average, and now her face was even more black and gray, how could she think of what Fang Yuan wanted to do to her?

"Xue Jiaoyan, this joke is not funny at all."

"The official has decided to let your sisters and brothers take the blame."

Fang Yuan's face immediately darkened, and he turned his face and walked down the mountain.

"Don't, don't."

"Fang Yuan, Fang Thorn History, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"You say, you say what conditions you want, as long as you open Chrysostom."

Xue Jiaoyan was so frightened that everyone jumped up, and hurriedly caught up and stopped Fang Yuan.

At this time, Zhou Kaile also walked out of the tent, as if nothing had happened, and went to the mine to help rescue.

"I lack a master by my side, your brother is born with divine power, if he can protect me, I am willing to pay a high price."

Fang Yuan is the color road.

"Rich?!"

"But my brother"

Xue Jiaoyan's eyes lit up suddenly.

But soon, her eyes lost color and became painful, looking at Xue Bowu, who was working.

"Won't you?"

Fang Yuan was a little regretful.

Now that the mine collapsed, there is a new person who bears the blame, and Xue Jiaoyan's sister and brother can go offline.

If Xue Jiaoyan was unwilling to accept this condition, Fang Yuan would not really continue to let them take the blame and take advantage of the situation.

"No, it's just my brother unknown."

"If you want him to follow you, you're probably going to follow him."

Xue Jiaoyan shook her head and sighed.

"What do you mean by that?"

Fang Yuan asked curiously.

Du Miaoyan also leaned over his ears.

"A Taoist priest told him his fortune and said that he was unknown."

"Anyone who stays with him too long will also be ominous."

"For example, my mother died, my father went crazy, and I became what I am now."

Xue Jiaoyan said miserably.

Speaking of sadness, tears fell.

"So scary?!"

When Du Miaoyan heard this, she shuddered.

She was scared of this mysterious thing.

"That's not a problem, I don't believe in these things."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

There are myths and ghosts since ancient times.

But Fang Yuan didn't believe it, because it was not scientific.

"You, you don't believe it?!"

Xue Jiaoyan looked at Fang Yuan in shock.

Even Du Miaoyan also stared at Fang Yuan.

"I don't believe it!"

"You send your brother to me as a guard in two days, 300 wen per month!"

Fang Yuan waved his hand.

"300 Wen per month?!"

"Okay, okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow."

All Xue Jiaoyan's sadness disappeared, and it seemed to fall into the eyes of money.

Fang Yuan shook his head, ignored her, and walked down the mountain again.

"Fang Yuan, think carefully."

Du Miaoyan caught up, hoping that Fang Yuan would be cautious.

"Don't worry, I have my own ideas."

Fang Yuan chuckled.

If there is really something unknown, it will be sent back to Xue Jiaoyan when the time comes.

"Okay."

Du Miaoyan sighed, and could only stop persuading.

Soon, Fang Yuan went down to the foot of the mountain, and the people were questioned.

"Fellow villagers, please believe in the county government of Yushe County and the county government of Liaozhou, we will definitely do our best to rescue the trapped people inside."

"But it's not early, and the vision is unclear at night, so rash rescue may cause the inside to collapse again and hurt the people inside."

"Please go home first, we will start work at the earliest tomorrow, and we will definitely rescue your relatives tomorrow, please rest assured!"

Fang Yuan said loudly.

When the words fell, many people made a fuss.

But there are also those who can be considerate, because it is really not early.

Everyone knows what happens at night, and it won't be good if it really causes another collapse.

So some people made a fuss, and some people chose to go home while it was still dark.

"Zheng Jiu, tell Zhou Kaile that this is Yushe County, and the official will go back first."

Fang Yuan beckoned Zheng Jiu and ordered.

This is Yushe County, which is Zhou Kaile's territory, Fang Yuan will not interfere, but if something happens, Fang Yuan can investigate his problem.

"So do the security guards stay or take them away?"

Zheng Jiu asked.

"The state officials and security guards are back."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

"Yes."

Zheng Jiu left.

Fang Yuan walked towards the carriage of the Thorn Mansion.

"Brother, come on, go home."

Xue Jiaoyan shouted.

The voice was cheerful, and it was still in the price of Fang Yuankai.

But she didn't know that her cheerful voice made the relatives who were still present stare at her resentfully.

"Here we are."

Xue Bowu directly put down the work in his hand and ran down from above.

He descended the mountain like a tiger, and came to Xue Jiaoyan's side in a few clicks, smiling at Xue Jiaoyan.

At this time, Zhou Kaile also put down the work in his hand and looked at Fang Yuan's back, his expression a little hideous.

Soon, he got Fang Yuan's meaning from Zheng Jiu, the security guards and state officials on the scene were taken away, and the workers and officials of Yushe County remained.

Zhou Kaile looked at the sealed hole, looked at the sky that had become dark, took a deep breath, and made countermeasures.

Night falls.

Wudong Mountain is sparkling.

The rescue site was guarded by workers and officials.

Zhou Kaile had already left, but he summoned the county to guard him.

However, Zhou Kaile did not go home, but stayed in the county government to think about the rescue plan, how to get rid of the Wang family, and think about how to show his ambitions.

Until dawn, Zhou Kaile did not leave, nor did he sleep, and by the time the sky was cloudy, Zhou Kaile had already had two dark circles under his eyes.

Looking at the sky, he could already see clearly, Zhou Kaile was ready to set off to Wudong Mountain to start the rescue.

But at this time, there was a noise outside the county government.

"Stop, who are you?"

"This official supervises Yu Shi Wei Ting, and he is ordered by the emperor to do things, get out of the way."

Then soon, Wei Ting's three superintendents entered, with a few soldiers behind them.

"Meet the three overseers."

Zhou Kaile hurriedly greeted him.

But there are already doubts in my heart.

How could the Overseer be here?

"Zhou Kaile County Order, please come with us."

Wei Ting said expressionlessly.

"May I ask the three imperial histories, what crime did the lower officials commit?"

Zhou Kaile was puzzled.

He has only been a county magistrate for a month, what happened to alarm the superintendent of the imperial history?

"Suspected of embezzlement, theft, and possibly human life, please."

Wei Ting explained.

Several soldiers behind him walked towards him.

"Wait!"

"Me, can I wear a dress?"

Zhou Kaile retreated in surprise and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Half a quarter of an hour."

Wei Ting frowned slightly, and said after a moment's silence.

"Thank you, sir."

Zhou Kaile breathed a sigh of relief.

Hurriedly walked in the direction of the backyard.

Tang Lin glanced at the two soldiers, and the soldiers immediately followed.

In the backyard, Zhou Kaile met the cook who was in charge of cooking and was preparing breakfast for the county government.

"Go and do two things for the official, and the official will be rewarded after the matter is completed."

"First, first go to the Thorn Shi Mansion to find Fang Thorn Shi, and say that Zhou Kaile urgently needs his help, and he will return with broken bones."

"Second, after going to the Assassin's Mansion and then going to the Liaoshan Wang Clan, I said that Zhou Kaile asked for help and asked my father-in-law to come to the rescue."

The cook was stunned for a moment, a little unable to react.

"Go!"

Zhou Kaile let out a low shout, and the cook left.

The two soldiers who followed Zhou Kaile glanced at each other and did not stop them, and then Zhou Kaile was taken away.
