Chapter Seventy-Six: Evidence is conclusive, imprisoned, and revival after the fire
"What a fellow, how dare you talk to me like that?"
Su Lan was full of resentment, no one had treated him like this in his life.
"Heh, who do you think you are, Heavenly King Laozi?"
Sun Peng was extremely excited, in the past, in order to protect the people of the whole factory, he was too wronged, but this time he wanted to vent.
"And I'm like this, what about you? Anyway, this steel plant was burned down, and you should regret losing so much. But what about regret? You can't change that. It hurts to see your hard work ruined, right? But, that's what I want you to know. ”
"You guy, do you really think I won't dare to hit you?"
Su Lan couldn't help it after all, and when he was about to step forward to teach Sun Peng a lesson, he was stopped by Su Quan.
Su Quan pointed at Zhao Fang and complained, "Sheriff Zhao." According to the current human and physical evidence, the arsonist is this person, don't you have any indication?"
"You must know that the arson of the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant is not trivial, if you let the arsonist escape, it will be your dereliction of duty. Su Lan came back to his senses, pretended to straighten his clothes, glanced at Sun Peng with his chin slightly high, and then complained to Zhao Fang.
Although he wanted to crush his bones and scatter ashes, but next to him was the police, even if Su Lan had great energy, he didn't dare to challenge the dignity of the government, so he had to let Zhao Fang go out and arrest all these main messengers.
Zhao Fang sighed secretly, took off the handcuffs from his waist, walked in front of Sun Peng, and complained, "Mr. Sun, offended!"
Although Sun Peng had a strong temperament, when he saw Zhao Fang walking in front of him, his momentum suddenly declined, and he lowered his head: "I understand." The outstretched hands represent his decision.
Zhao Fang was in a calm mood, and thanked him: "Thank you!" He also maintained a lot of sympathy for these workers, but the arson case was too big, and if Sun Peng was not arrested, he would not be able to give an account to Chang'an and his sheriff.
Zhao Fang waved his hand to the mounted police behind him, and summoned more than a dozen mounted policemen, arrested several arsonists who had been convinced, including Sun Peng, and escorted them to the prisoner car that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Sheriff Zhao, what will happen to him?"
Just as the prisoner car was about to leave, Feng Gao walked out and stopped the group.
Zhao Fang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, shook his head, and then complained: "Just like him, even if he doesn't die, he will be imprisoned for decades, in short, his life is completely ruined." "In the past, I was able to extinguish the fire in this steel plant, thanks to Feng Gao's help, so I respected the person in front of me quite a lot.
"How so?"
After taking a look at the prisoner car, Sun Peng inside had already closed his eyes, and Feng Gao felt that the burden on his shoulders had become extremely heavy.
He turned his head and looked at the workers gathered around him, before this these workers were still under their own hands, fighting for their future, although their purpose was completely ruined by Su Lan and the others, they still had considerable expectations for themselves.
"Can you take care of them for me?"
Suddenly opening his eyes, Sun Peng took one last look at Feng Gao, maybe the two of them would probably never see each other again in the future.
Feng Gao took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and replied, "Don't worry, I will take care of them." The curtain fell, covering Sun Peng's figure, and the carriage pulled the people above and left from here.
"Mr. Feng, what should we do next?"
Some people are at a loss, Sun Peng has been arrested, and they urgently need a new leader.
Feng Gao's expression was solemn, and everywhere he looked, there were all collapsed masonry and broken wood, and there was occasionally exposed steel machinery, but this was also deformed by the high temperature.
"Let's clean up the ruins first. After all, as we are now, it seems that we will not do anything other than steelmaking. ”
Feng Gao instructed.
Under Feng Gao's order, all the workers went into action and began to dig along the ruins, trying to find something that could be used.
The fire was so large that they needed to confirm the number of victims and the extent of the damage to the machinery and equipment to see if they could repair it and reuse it.
Su Lan looked annoyed and cursed in a low voice: "These guys, what do you think of my steel factory?" Just as he was about to step forward and scold, he was stopped by Su Quan.
"Forget it, let them go. Su Quan shook his head, his eyes were extremely clear, as if he could see Su Lan's thoughts.
Su Lan retorted, "Why?"
"Otherwise, aren't you going to recruit new people again, and letting them go will at least save a fee, won't you?" Su Quan persuaded.
Told by this, Su Lan had no choice but to let go of his grievances and muttered, "Okay, then follow what you said." It's just these guys, you have to teach them a lesson, otherwise how can you show my means?"
He didn't think that these workers were just poor peasants, how could they end up in this harsh and particularly hard working steel mill in order to support their families?
In the distance, those workers naturally didn't notice the conversation between Su Lan and Su Quan, they just stared intently at the ruins, and according to their previous memories, they moved all the bricks and pieces of wood away, revealing the machinery and equipment below.
If you see that the machinery and equipment are still in good condition, you will let out a shout.
Several people worked together to pull the machinery out and then start commissioning it.
Su Lan watched from the side, feeling that the resentment in his heart was not as big as before.
"Hey. Come and see. ”
At this time, a man shouted.
Su Lan and Su Quan were immediately puzzled, and they came up one after another, wanting to see what these people were?
Feng Gao also walked up with doubts and asked, "Did you find anything?"
The man pointed to the ruins and said, "Look, is this the silver tael we stole earlier?"
Several people probed together, and saw a silvery white metal solid on the masonry, although it was covered by dark charcoal and bricks, but the dazzling brilliance was difficult to hide, telling everyone that this was silver.
The melting point of the silver is not high, and it can easily become liquid, but after a period of time, the silver also begins to solidify, so it is discovered by everyone.
"It's true!"
Feng Gao was overjoyed, and hurriedly summoned everyone, and the group worked together to clean up the ruins of this place, and all the silver was concentrated, and after weighing, it was determined that this batch of silver was the silver they had stolen before.
Of course, in addition to the silver, there is also a corpse left here.
That guy is a habitual thief, and when he suddenly saw such a large amount of money, he naturally couldn't hold back, so he did this kind of thing?"
After careful identification, Feng Gao had a slight experience.
This old man is a lonely old man, who has always served as a security guard in the steel factory, and he also provided the two locks before, if you think about it this way, this person is indeed the only one in the entire factory who has the strength and ability to steal these silver taels.
And according to his actions before he died, it is estimated that he also planned to transport this batch of silver, and then he escaped from here and lived happily ever after.
However, Sun Peng's fire completely changed his fate.
"Since so many silver taels have been found in this steel factory, these are naturally mine. Without waiting for everyone to react, Su Lan proudly announced his decision.
His remark naturally aroused the hostility of all the workers, and this silver was earned by his own hard work, how could he tolerate Su Lan to drive out this kind of thing?
Feng Gao stood in front of Su Lan and directly vetoed: "I'm sorry, this silver can only be kept here, and no one can take it away!"
After a fire, the entire steel mill can be said to be destitute, and the money from the Huaxia Army has not been sent, if they want to live, then this batch of silver is necessary, after all, the steel mill is completely gone, if you want to obtain funds through orders, it is impossible at all.
"So what? This silver is from my factory, so of course it should belong to me!"
Su Lan ignored it and immediately planned to take away the money.
The steel mills have been burned down, and his losses are too great, and of course he doesn't want the 10,000 taels of silver to be given to these workers in vain.
Feng Gao's eyebrows flashed with anger, and he stood in front of Su Lan with his chest straightened: "If that's the case, then we're just afraid that we will have another fight." ”
Many workers also shouted loudly, forming a wall between each other, just in front of Su Lan, Su Quan and others, and there was only one voice in their mouths to tell back.
"Don't try to rob us of our hard-earned money. ”
Su Lan couldn't accept it, he still planned to continue the fight.
Su Quan grabbed Su Lan and persuaded, "Forget it." Give them 10,000 taels. ”
"But brother, this is ten thousand taels of silver, not ten thousand taels of sand and dirt, but living silver taels. How can you let the other party take it easily?" Su Lan was not going to accept this suggestion.
Su Quan's voice was raised, but he didn't care about the difference in generations between them, and persuaded: "Have you forgotten about the steel plant? Just before, this steel plant was completely burned down by a fire, and the ruins have not been cleaned up! Do you still want things to happen again?
By this, Su Lan calmed down.
"And you have also seen that they are already penniless at the moment, if they don't have this batch of money, what will happen to the next days? Do you let them beg on Chang'an Street? When the time comes, the lord will be held accountable, and we will not be able to escape responsibility!" Ling Fei persuaded from the side.
"My lord?"
When Su Lan heard this, he obviously showed some fear, he looked at the ruins, and his heart faintly began to ache, "Okay, then do what you say." ”
The three of them agreed together, and naturally there was no room for remorse.
When the workers saw that they had compromised, they also let out a cry one after another, believing that they had finally won this time.
Feng Gao was also secretly glad, fortunately the group in front of him was a well-informed person, otherwise he would have said a fight.
He bowed to Ling Fei and thanked him, "Speaker Ling, thank you this time, if it weren't for you to come forward, I'm afraid we would really be cornered." ”
"Huh. This is also for the sake of the country, after all, this steel plant is really important, and if it can be repaired successfully, it will naturally help us a lot. Ling Fei smiled, "It's just that what are you going to do next? If there is anything you need help, I can help you and definitely meet your request." ”
Previously, because of Su Lan's behavior, the reputation of the Kuomintang can be said to be quite affected, and it is often attacked by other parliamentarians, in order to be able to revive the reputation of the Kuomintang Party, so Ling Fei plans to take action to save everything in front of him.
"Thank you!"
Feng Gao lowered his head gratefully, and then complained, "If you can, I wonder if you can find us a place to live?" The ruins were swept away with misery, and many workers wept, after all, this was once the place where they lived.
"No way, the fire is so big that our house is burning. ”
"Absolutely. ”
Ling Fei smiled, then looked at Su Lan, but asked, "I remember, don't you have a manor near here? Don't you usually live there? Why don't you vacate it for the time being and let them live!"
Su Quan also shouted reproachfully: "And if it is also your responsibility to talk about it this time, if it is not for your urgent desire to improve the efficiency of the steel mill, how can you cause this kind of thing?
In the face of the persuasion of the two, although Su Lan refused in his heart, he only came to his residence here with all the workers.
This residence is not big, it is an ordinary residence with three entrances and three exits, which he built in order to recruit Wang Quanbin Su to facilitate his work here, but after this happened, Wang Quanbin did not know when it disappeared, leaving the whole house empty, but it was able to allow workers to move in.
Of course, after so many people suddenly got in, the house was quite crowded.
Don't say that it is a bath and eat, even if it is a matter of going to the toilet, it is quite troublesome and not a long-term solution.
But it's better than the curtain on the ground, it is better to have something to shelter from the wind and rain, but it makes those workers grateful and live together.
Of course, Su Lan was also annoyed by Wang Quanbin.
He found the housekeeper of the house and shouted, "Tell me, where did Wang Quanbin go?"
The whole thing is all because Wang Quanbin squeezed too much, which led to the whole riot, and now the factory is temporarily understood, but this Wang Quanbin doesn't know where to go, which makes Su Lan afraid.
If Wang Quanbin can't be caught, as the owner who promoted this person, Su Lan will also be responsible for the fire in the entire steel plant.
At that time, it will not be as simple as getting rid of the parliamentarians.
Su Lan knew quite well that if it weren't for his prominent status, he would have been locked up in a cell long ago this time.
