Chapter VI Accidents
He Xing sat in the office, flipping through the report of Tao Charter, the report was clear and clear, and all the formations were broken down and noted, after He Xing read it, there was one thing missing in his heart, but Tao Charter's accident stayed in Keyin Village, which made him very puzzled, there must be something he didn't know. But then thinking about it, Yu Yang had gone out to follow the messenger alone, and if there was really anything, no one would take care of it.
Thinking of this, He Xing got up and put on his coat and planned to catch up with Yu Yang in person, and if he had the opportunity, he happened to go to Keyin Village to take a look at the magic circle. After everything was packed, I was getting ready to go out. At this moment, the waiter outside the door suddenly walked in, looking very panicked, and said to He Xing after entering the door: "City Lord, it's not good, there was a sudden accident in the renovation process of the street in the West District, the street collapsed in a large area, and individual street buildings were also affected, and several houses have collapsed. The site is very chaotic right now, and the supervisor in charge of this project told you to hurry over, and the situation over there is very chaotic right now. ”
When He Xing heard this, his scalp was numb at this time. It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave. The original thoughts in his heart were instantly disrupted after hearing this, and He Xing quickly walked out of the room with the waiter and asked, "Is there anyone from the construction site?"
"Coming, waiting for you at the gate?"
He Xing soon came to the main entrance, where there were already three men waiting, He Xing walked with them to the construction site in the West District, and asked at the same time, "What is the situation over there?" ”
One person replied: "Because the renovation is underway, there are not many people there, but because the scene of the accident is chaotic, many people around are talking about it, and the scene is noisy and abnormal." Ambulance personnel have been called, but when the three of us came to you, the ambulance had not yet arrived.
He Xing continued to ask, "How is the injury over there?"
"The road collapse didn't cause many casualties, but the collapse of three surrounding buildings was the focus of casualties. All three buildings are commercial buildings, and there are people in them, about 70 or 80 people, and we have started to clean up and rescue, and we can't confirm the number of casualties.
He Xing's expression is still the same, but his heart is extremely complicated, no matter what the reason is, no matter what the result is, he will not be the first to get rid of it. Thinking about it, the West District is a commercial place, people come and go on weekdays, there are countless pedestrians in the past, and there has been no abnormality for so many years, why did there go wrong as soon as the construction started today, I don't know if this is an accident or another reason. As soon as this matter comes out, it will only be spread throughout the Lingdu in a few days. That Ande didn't have a good impression of me, this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to run away from punishment, if I can't find out and give an explanation to the top at this time, I'm afraid it's inevitable to give way.
He Xing was nervous all the way, but there was no good way for a while, so he had to go forward.
On the other side, the demon heart walked slowly on the path leading to Keyin Village, walked to a remote place, noticed that there was no one around, and secretly paid attention to Yu Yang's movements in his heart, and thought about how to do it.
And Yu Yang didn't follow, he looked at the demon heart all the way from a distance, and felt that this person was extremely ordinary, and there was nothing abnormal. At this time, he saw the demon heart sitting on the stone resting, and felt that there was no need to chase down, if he caught up with this person, it would be useless, and it would only be a waste of time to keep his distance, so he should go back to the city for the time being and inform him of the result. If you need to go to Keyin to find Tao Charter, you will bring some people back another day, thinking of this, Yu Yang turned around and stopped paying attention to the demon heart. Return to Xilu City on your own.
Seeing this, Bian Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not because he was afraid of Yu Yang, he joined forces with the Demon Heart to have the confidence to subdue Yu Yang, but he knew Yu Yang's identity, and he was worried that once he started, things would make a big deal and affect the plan to enter the army. At this time, Yu Yang withdrew, Bian Lu was naturally secretly happy in his heart, and after Yu Yang went away, Bian Lu went to make peace with the demon heart.
While Moxin sat on the stone and pondered, he also found that Yu Yang had left, but he felt that it was too much, so he didn't think about it anymore, at this moment, Bian Lu walked closer from behind, and he told Moxin about Yu Yang's information and what he had just thought. After hearing this, Moxin also had some understanding of Yu Yang.
So far, the two have basically completed the mission of entering the spirit, but the demon heart does not want to return here, and the two discuss with each other here. Bian Lu was worried that He Xing would continue to care about Tao Xianxian's affairs, so when Moxin met with He Xing, he had already done some tricks and feet at the construction site in the West District to drag He Xing's attention, and at this time told Moxin that he hoped that he would stay in Xilu for the time being to watch the changes, and try not to let He Xing have time to go to Guankeyin Village and Tao Charter, and he needed to go to the nearby area to find out information, Moxin originally wanted to play here for two days, and now he was with his own mind, so he naturally agreed, so the two discussed meeting here at noon tomorrow, and then returned to the Demon Clan together.
After agreeing, the two parted ways, and the Demon Heart returned to Xilu City again the way they came.
On the commercial street of Xiluxi District, messy brick tiles are scattered on the chaotic street. Many people cleaned bricks and tiles from it, and at the same time tried to free the people who were crushed under it as much as possible. And around, many people are talking about something in groups. In one corner of the ruins, He Xing was talking to a man in his thirties, looking a little quiet.
After Yu Yang returned to Xilu, he soon heard the news of the accident in the West District, so he immediately rushed over. When I came to the scene, I saw the picture above. Yu Yang walked through the crowd of onlookers, went straight to He Xing, and asked, "What's going on here?"
He Xing was in a troubled mood, so he replied lightly: "There was an accident during the construction and renovation, and I don't know the cause yet. By the way, you weren't there just now, so I transferred some people from the barracks to help. ”
Yu Yang nodded slightly, glanced at the man next to him, and then said no more and went to help save people. After that, the man also left the scene, leaving He Xing alone standing there with an unusually ugly face.
At this time, two young girls were squeezed out of the crowd and came to He Xing's side, one of the girls seemed to be very quiet, and said to He Xing: "Uncle He, my father heard that something happened here, let's take a look at the situation, I don't know how it is here?"
He Xing turned his head and looked at the two girls, who turned out to be the two young ladies of the Bai family. The Bai family is a large family in Xilu City, and its power is quite large in the Xilu area. And the two girls in front of them are the two eldest ladies of the Bai family. My sister's name is Bai Ya, eighteen this year, and my sister Bai Ling is sixteen years old. One of the sisters is smart and quiet, the other is lively and lovely, and they are very popular with everyone. Today, there was an accident in the West District, and the three buildings that collapsed were all assets owned by the Bai family, so the two sisters came to inquire about the situation.
He Xing saw that it was the two sisters, forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said to the two: "Miss Bai, this time there was a sudden accident, and the reason is unknown. But the first priority should be rescue. I have deployed manpower from the army to step up rescue efforts to minimize casualties. In addition, after the rescue and clean-up, I should find out the cause of the accident and give you an explanation. As for the houses here, they will also be built as soon as possible to minimize the impact of the accident. After Miss Bai goes back, please tell Ling Zun that this matter will be personally responsible for He, and it will be resolved as soon as possible. ”
Bai Ling looked around curiously, as if he was not listening to He Xing. And Bai Ya smiled slightly and said, "Since this is the case, then it will trouble Uncle He." My dad didn't come today, so I'll thank you on his behalf. Uncle He, don't be too tired, lest you get tired. ”
He Xing smiled and replied, "Miss Xie Bai cares, and I have to count on Miss Bai to contribute to the prosperity of Xilu in the future!"
Bai Ya smiled and nodded, and stopped talking. In the crowd in the distance, the demon heart who went and returned looked at all this, and secretly said in his heart: Bian Lu's gift is not small, I will see if this congratulatory line can handle it, if he still has the leisure to think about anything else, I will also give another big gift. Who is this Miss Bai, it seems that He Xing is also very polite to her. Hehe, interesting! Thinking of this, the demon no longer paid attention to the situation here, but quietly left. He planned to walk around the city of Xilu and see where else he could make some movement.
At the end of the rescue operation, in the evening of the same day, He Xing received a casualty report, six people unfortunately died in the accident, and the remaining about 70 people were injured of various sizes. After arranging the injured properly, He Xing ordered the incident site to be thoroughly cleaned up so that it could be rebuilt later.
The clean-up was carried out overnight and was completed in the morning of the next day. Although the buildings have been basically flattened, the roads are now passable. After ensuring this, He Xing ordered everyone to wait for the notice of the start of work. A few more officials from the city were called in to investigate the cause of the accident, and after everything was arranged, they went back to rest.
He Xing was very depressed in his heart, for this accident, the envoy official sent by Lingdu in Xilu attached great importance to it, and he seemed to have finally found He Xing's mistake and grasped it. If he can't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid that after he reports to the Spirit King, even if he can keep his current position, he won't have any actual power. So He Xing made up his mind that he must find out about this matter, and he couldn't give up Xilu, which he had guarded for more than ten years, to others.
He Xing couldn't let go of the stone in his heart, and after a short rest, he summoned the officials and guards in the city to prepare for a thorough investigation of the matter. Xiluxi District was overhauled ten years ago, and according to records at the time, the underground structure of this area was neat and compact, and due to the construction on the day of the incident, there were not many pedestrians, so it could not have collapsed normally according to common sense. Investigation of the site revealed that there appeared to be traces of recent alterations underground. After deliberation, it was believed that this was caused by man-made sabotage. However, no one has discovered such destruction of the underground, and it is speculated that there are only two possibilities: one is to use advanced underground machinery, and the other is a kind of earth escape technique, which uses thaumaturgy to sneak into the underground and wreak havoc.
There are not many people who can use the art of earth escape, at least in this Xilu City, He Xing doesn't know who can use this technique. However, if you use machinery, it is difficult to hide in the city, and most of them are stationed in inaccessible places outside the city.
So, He Xing prepared to divide his troops into two routes. One team searched the city for strange outsiders and suspicious machinery, while the other team went out of the city to search for any suspicious objects in the forests, plains, villages and other places outside the city. He Xing, on the other hand, stayed in the city, waiting for news of the search, while on the other hand, he was ready to personally supervise the reconstruction of the Western District to avoid any further accidents.
It was nearly evening after the assignment was completed. In this operation, He Xing got clues as soon as possible and used most of the army. As the commander of the military camp, Yu Yang didn't want to do this, but he could see that He Xing's heart was quite urgent, and he couldn't say anything more, so he could only try his best to cooperate.
At this time, on the construction site in the western district, Yu Yang found He Xing: "Brother He, the sergeant in the battalion has set off according to the order, if our inference is correct, there should be a result soon." ”
He Xing looked a little haggard at this time, barely squeezed out a smile, nodded, and said, "I can't imagine that someone would do such a thing in this Xilu, I don't know if it's for me or this city." If I find him, I will definitely give him a good look and make an example. ”
Yu Yang also sighed: "Yes! The recent Xilu is really not peaceful. First there was a nameless circle, and then someone entered our barracks, and now they have begun to wreak havoc again. It's really worrying to think about. ”
When Yu Yang said this, He Xing next to him suddenly trembled, and he quickly said: "Old Yu, you said that all these things are the same thing, or the same group of people." ”
