Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 99
"I, I won't go."

Xue Jiaoyan backed away in fright.

Seeing this, Xue Bowu stood in front of Xue Jiaoyan again.

"If you don't go, the problem will be even bigger."

"If you go, I might still give you justice. If you don't go, you're just absconding in fear of crime."

Fang Yuan said expressionlessly.

At this time, he didn't have the idea of ​​joking with Xue Jiaoyan and his brother, and temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​subduing Xue Bowu.

No matter at any time, the death of people is the biggest case, and it is not yet known how many people are trapped in it.

If it can be suppressed, it may be possible to reduce the major incident, but in Liaozhou, Fang Yuan felt that some people did not want him to suppress the matter.

"I, I, I will go with you."

"You, you must give me justice."

Xue Jiaoyan twitched and cried.

"Huang Shancong, you rush back immediately, block the news, and prohibit others from approaching."

Fang Yuan turned his head and faced Huang Shancong and the others.

"Yes!"

Huang Shancong responded immediately and ran away from the scene.

There is a fast horse parked at his door, and he can quickly drive back to Wudong Mountain.

"Zheng Jiu, go back to the state mansion. No, go back to Fang mansion, let Hongxu Qingyu gather three hundred security guards, leave the city and go to Wudong Mountain for rescue."

Fang Yuan looked at Zheng Jiu and said in a deep voice.

"Subordinates have orders!"

Zheng Jiu quickly responded and left quickly.

"Miaoyan, do you want to go back or follow me to Wudong Mountain?"

Fang Yuan said with a slightly relaxed expression.

"I'll go with you."

Du Miaoyan was a little worried, and decided to go with Fang Yuan.

"it is good!"

"Xue Jiaoyan, you siblings have to follow."

"Remember, don't leave my sight without my permission, otherwise I can't be sure whether the two of you are going to take the blame."

Fang Yuan nodded his thanks to Du Miaoyan.

Then he looked at Xue Jiaoyan, his expression became serious.

"I know, I know."

Xue Jiaoyan answered sternly.

She also seems to realize the importance of the matter.

The crowd set off and hurried to Wudong Mountain in Yushe County.

After about half an hour, Fang Yuan and others finally arrived at the foot of Wudong Mountain.

As soon as he got out of the car, Huang Shancong came up to meet him, his whole body was black and stained with cinders.

"My lord, the bad news is that the mine has not been dug through. The good news is that I can communicate with the workers inside. There are no casualties among them."

"Also, the county magistrate of Yushe County also came, and he came before I returned and joined the rescue."

Huang Shancong reported.

"Stop the rescue first!"

"Tell the workers in the mine not to panic."

"Then gather everyone and hold an emergency meeting first!"

Hearing this, Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, another worry came to his mind.

In many cases, the mine collapse did not cause death, but the wrong rescue caused the mine to collapse again, so death was caused.

Since they have nothing to do, then suspend the rescue first, Fang Yuan thinks it is necessary to hold an emergency meeting to discuss how to rescue is a safe rescue.

"Yes!"

Huang Shancong responded immediately and withdrew.

"Inspector Fang, you didn't mean to save people, did you?"

Xue Jiaoyan looked at Fang Yuan suspiciously.

Now the collapse of the mine is related to her, and the death of the personnel is also related to her.

If no one dies, then this matter is a minor matter, and I should be fine.

But Fang Yuan didn't rescue immediately, isn't this putting the workers in danger and putting himself in danger?

Fang Yuan glanced at her, ignored her directly, and ignored her, but Du Miaoyan couldn't see it, and replied that it was an explanation.

"Miss Xue, you should thank Fang Yuan for not coming to the rescue immediately."

"In a situation like a collapse, if the situation is unknown and the rescue is not clear, it is very likely that it will collapse again."

Du Miaoyan sneered.

She has read many books and read similar records.

"Oh, oh, so it is."

"Hee hee, Governor Fang, thank you."

When Xue Jiaoyan heard it, she thought it was very possible, so she said to Fang Yuan with a smile.

Fang Yuan also ignored her, at this time Huang Shancong came back, accompanied by Yushe county magistrate Zhou Kaile.

Further behind, there are coal miners and government servants from Yushe County. There are about 130 people.

"The next official pays homage to Lord Inspector."

Zhou Kaile approached Fang Yuan and hurriedly saluted.

His hands were dirty, his outermost official uniform had been taken off, and the whiter clothes underneath had almost turned black.

"No need to be polite."

"How did Magistrate Zhou know that the mine collapsed?"

Fang Yuan waved his hand, said calmly.

"Some people reported that there was a loud noise in Wudong Mountain."

"The lower officials know that Wudong Mountain is the place where the adults are digging coal, so they came to have a look."

Zhou Kaile explained.

By this time, everyone on the scene had arrived.

"Come closer, I will have a brief meeting with you all."

Fang Yuan waved to them.

Huang Shancong immediately brought in simple stools and tables.

There are many stools, but the table is too small, and only three people can sit around.

Fang Yuan, Zhou Kaile and Huang Shancong sat down, while the others stood.

Many people were dissatisfied, they were looking at Fang Yuan and the others with dissatisfaction at this moment, wondering why there was a meeting.

Everyone is trapped in it, and their lives are in danger at all times, but they call everyone to a meeting. Isn't this disregarding human life?

"First of all, the mine collapsed, and rescue is the top priority!"

"Secondly, unplanned rescue and rescue without knowing the situation are very likely to cause another collapse and cause the death of the people inside."

"Finally, it is also the main purpose of this official's meeting. Is there a better understanding of the situation inside, how is it trapped inside, and is there a safe rescue method?"

Fang Yuan said loudly.

As much as possible, be heard by everyone present.

Originally, many people had objections to this emergency meeting.

After hearing Fang Yuan's words, he felt lingering fear and changed his attitude immediately.

"I, I know what's going on inside. I just went in today."

"There are stones about ten feet from the entrance. There will definitely not be another collapse there. We can judge the entrance based on this."

A worker raised his hand.

His face was dirty and he couldn't see clearly.

But his eyes were bright and full of energy.

It collapsed today, and the entrance has been blocked. Now we only know the general direction, but the specific location has not been determined yet.

"The soil inside is relatively loose. I don't know if it has collapsed?"

"If it hasn't collapsed yet, I think it's necessary to be gentle in the rescue, and you can't dig in the wrong direction."

Someone spoke again.

The situation is similar to the first one, all dirty.

"The entrance is blocked now, but I can accurately judge where it leads, and I won't dig in the wrong direction."

Someone spoke again.

Questions were raised one by one.

Then one by one ideas were proposed.

Soon, everyone had a safer method.

"Everyone, you are doing well!"

"If all the trapped workers can be rescued safely today, I will host a banquet for you!"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath, slightly excited.

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang was the best of the three cobblers.

Although these workers do not know a single character, they still have a bright side.

"Thank you, Lord Inspector!"

Everyone was enthusiastic and confident.

Before Fang Yuan came, they were thinking of rescue.

But the rescue is done by oneself, like a headless chicken.

Now with Fang Yuan's simple meeting, things become much clearer.

"Master, I'm taking someone there!"

Huang Shancong got up and bowed heavily to Fang Yuan.

With this meeting with Fang Yuan, he also relaxed a lot.

God knows how much pressure he is under, I am afraid that he will not be able to save people.

After all, the county magistrate of Yushe County knew about it, so it was impossible to hide it.

"Go."

Fang Yuan nodded.

Gather the strengths of a hundred schools of thought to tackle a difficult point.

It is not by myself, but by the workers present.

"Yes!"

Huang Shancong left.

He left with a group of workers and yamen servants.

At this time, Zheng Jiu still arrived with three hundred state officials, and they all joined in the rescue.

"Fang Inspector is wise and wise, and the officials admire him!"

Zhou Kaile stood up with deep admiration in his eyes.

When he came, he never thought of holding a simple meeting.

It is to join the rescue, and also direct the yamen servants to do this and that.

It seems to be hands-on, and it is well-directed, but in fact it doesn't work.

Now, with this meeting that took less than a stick of incense, everything became much clearer.

According to the method discussed by everyone, there are probably no problems in this rescue.

"It's all about them."

Fang Yuan didn't take credit, said calmly.

"The subordinate officer also went to help."

Zhou Kaile saluted, then walked towards the mine, walking quickly.

"Brother, you are strong, go help too, and listen to that Huang Shancong."

Xue Jiaoyan also spoke at this time.

She also wanted to help, but she didn't have the strength to help.

"Ok."

Xue Bowu obediently went to the rescue.

Soon, only Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan were left on the scene.

Fang Yuan didn't go off in person, he wanted to control the audience and grasp the overall situation.

Time passed slowly.

Half an hour passed, the rescue went smoothly, and everything went according to plan.

The voices of the workers in the mine can also be heard clearly, not as weak as they were at first.

Everyone was overjoyed and continued to move in the direction of the plan.

Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan stood on a high place and watched the rescue.

Suddenly, he heard tragic cries coming from down the mountain.

At the same time, Du Miaoyan and Xue Jiaoyan also heard it and watched it one after another.

Soon, everyone saw the person coming.

There are more than a dozen common people, both old and young.

"Zheng Jiu, bring some security guards to stop them."

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, said in a deep voice.

Is their appearance a coincidence or intentional?
Could it be that the situation in Wudong Mountain has alarmed the common people?

What Zhou Kaile meant just now was that some people heard a loud noise here.

I just heard a loud noise, but I probably don't know what happened.

"Yes."

Zheng Jiu should be.

Get someone to take his place, and take the two guards down the hill.

Coal mines are excavated from the foot of the mountain upwards, and there is still a little distance from the bottom of the mountain.

At this time, more than a dozen people had already started to go up the mountain, and the crying became louder, and some of the workers on site had already heard it.

"stop!"

"I'm an official of the Governor's Mansion, and I'm not allowed to go up the mountain here for the time being!"

Zheng Jiu appeared, stopped them, and stopped them.

"Get out of the way, I want to see my son!"

An old woman came out.

His hair is gray and he looks like he is in his 60s.

She pushed her skinny hand towards Zheng Jiu's chest, trying to push Zheng Jiu away.

"Old woman, what's your son's name?"

Zheng Jiu frowned slightly, did not resist, and did not dare to resist.

If the old woman's son was in the coal mine, then he should not have resisted.

"My son's name is Dalang, and my son is in the mine."

The old woman whimpered and cried.

"My son is here, my son is here."

Other common people also spoke one after another.

But among more than ten of them, there are only four families.

"Go back and make sure."

Zheng Jiu frowned even deeper.

He pondered for a moment, and asked a security guard to go back to confirm.

He had no idea who was in the mine and what their names were.

The security guard went back, and soon, he confirmed from Huang Shancong that there was indeed a man named Dalang.

After confirming the situation, Zheng Jiu could only ask Fang Yuan for instructions.

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then walked down the mountain.

"Old man, your son is fine, please don't worry, he will be reunited with you soon."

Fang Yuan comforted her.

"You, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

The old woman didn't seem to believe it.

She looked at Fang Yuan tremblingly, with awe in her eyes.

The official uniform on Fang Yuan will scare many people.

"Old woman, this is Fang Yuan, governor of Liaozhou, no one will lie to you!"

Zheng Jiu emphasized on the side.

"Master Inspector?!"

"Wuuuuu, Lord Inspector, please save my son."

When the old woman heard this, she immediately knelt down.

The same was true for the others, who knelt on the ground one after another.

"Get up, get up, get up."

"Don't worry, I will definitely save your family members."

Fang Yuan sighed in his heart, and quickly helped the old woman up.

"Thank you Lord Inspector, you are a good person and a good official."

The old woman got up, her skinny hand tightly grasped Fang Yuan's hand, the hand was trembling.

"Thank you."

"Old man, how do you know that this place collapsed?"

Fang Yuan smiled to express his gratitude.

But what he is most curious about now is how did they know that this place collapsed?
It has not been two hours since Huang Shancong told him, and the news should have been blocked, how did they know?
"A fellow villager told me."

"It said that my son was buried in the mine of Wudong Mountain, and asked me to rescue it quickly."

"By the way, Lord Inspector, what is a mine?"

the old woman explained.

But she didn't know what a mine was.

I only knew that my son was in danger, so I came here.

The same is true for other answers, and the meaning is almost the same.

"Mine. It means water well."

"Old man, are you from the same place?"

Fang Yuan explained.

Then keep asking.

"No, we don't know each other."

"We met on the road."

The old woman shook her head.

"Then do you know that fellow?"

Fang Yuan frowned, and continued to ask.

It's not the same place, and it happened to be on the road.

This thing feels a little strange, as if someone did it on purpose.

"do not know."

The old woman shook her head.

The others also shook their heads.

"I don't know him, but you also believe him?"

Xue Jiaoyan interrupted, feeling a little speechless.

If you don't know people, you can believe them. What if you are deceived?
"I don't believe it."

"But I worry about my son."

the old woman explained.

She didn't believe it at first.

Thinking that the other party cursed his son for an accident, he chased the other party and scolded him for a long time.

But her body was not strong, so the other party disappeared very quickly, and she could only go home angrily.

But the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and finally decided to go and have a look in person, and then came to Wudong Mountain and saw Fang Yuan and others were rescued, thinking that something really happened to his son, and then cried out.

Xue Jiaoyan smiled awkwardly, thinking it made sense.

"I can understand it."

"Do you still remember what that fellow villager looked like?"

Fang Yuan continued to ask.

"He has a big face and a beard. He looks about 40 or [-] years old."

The old woman described.

At this time, there were excited and cheerful sounds from the mountain.

"Master, we succeeded, without any casualties!"

Huang Shancong reported loudly.

Hearing this, Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and stopped asking the old woman and others.

If the people were rescued and there were no casualties, then the mine accident would not exist, and the matter would not need to be ignored.

"Oye, that's great!"

Xue Jiaoyan jumped up triumphantly.

She was finally able to let go of her worries.

"Son, son, my son."

The old woman screamed excitedly.

She tremblingly walked towards the direction of the mine.

The same is true for the others, they all walked over Fang Yuan and walked up.

Fang Yuan looked at them, the smile was still on the corner of his mouth, the joy in life is reunion.

Seeing the workers above excitedly embracing each other, Fang Yuan felt very relieved.

But soon, Fang Yuan's smile became a little stiff, and he felt something was wrong.

After the old woman went up, they searched for it like headless chickens.

Wudongshan now has a little over 500 people.

But there are only a hundred workers.

But they can't find it?
"Where's my son?"

"Where's my son?"

"Da Lang, Da Lang, where are you?"

The old woman cried out desperately.

However, no one responded.

Others also called their relatives' names, but no one responded.

"what happened?"

"Isn't there a worker named Dalang?"

Fang Yuan walked up to the top with a serious expression, and asked Huang Shancong.

"Master, we have a Dalang here, but her son's name is Zhu Dalang, and ours is called Zhang Dalang."

Huang Shancong reported.

He was also speechless, just now the old woman asked about Da Lang, it was Da Lang.

But after matching the surnames, it was not the same person, and it was confirmed that he was not her son.

"Lord Inspector, where's my son? Where's my Dalang?"

The old woman walked towards Fang Yuan, tremblingly said.

She was so frightened that her face turned blue, and she kept stamping her feet, impatiently.

The other three families also inquired one after another, saying that their relatives were not here.

"Old man, are you sure your son is in the mine?"

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

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Da Lang told me he was working in the Wudongshan Coal Mine when he set off a few days ago."

The old woman nodded repeatedly.

She couldn't stop crying, and she was terrified.

"My son said the same thing. He said he was going to work in the Wudongshan Coal Mine."

The other family members responded one after another, and they were also in a hurry, crying with red eyes.

"Huang Shancong, are their relatives really not in the mine?"

Fang Yuan's expression was calm, he felt something was wrong.

"My lord, I'm quite sure."

"None of them are our workers."

"I have a roster of our workers."

Huang Shancong said firmly.

Each factory has its own roster.

Although the coal mine has not yet been established, it also has a roster.

"Could it be that"

Fang Yuan frowned tightly into the word Chuan, and muttered.

He already had some guesses in his heart, and his heart became heavy.

　In the past few days, the updates have not been on time and cannot be released together. Lao Zhou is sorry for this.
