After this incident, Ma Fugui became wary of Duan Zetao. Duan Zetao's knife was too sharp. He felt that he could no longer control him. He began to alienate Duan Zetao and sometimes even joined forces with Liu Mingzheng in the Standing Committee.
To suppress Duan Zetao, Liu Mingzheng, who was originally a little desperate, saw new hope, and took the olive branch offered by Ma Fugui. The relationship between the two unexpectedly improved. [ ]
Duan Zetao was also aware of this, but he didn't take it to heart. He was not prepared to stand with anyone in the first place. As long as it was beneficial to people's livelihood, he would support it, and he would oppose anything that harmed the interests of the masses.
The work in the development zone slowly got on track. Zhang Xinxian took his subordinates out to attract investment. The atmosphere at the Mining Bureau also improved greatly. After Fan Wei was beaten once by Duan Zetao, he began to take the initiative to move closer to Duan Zetao. Through and Fan Wei
After getting in touch with him, Duan Zetao found that although he was a bit naive, he could still stick to his principles on big issues, so he gradually accepted him. After all, the mining industry is too deep, and having subordinates who are familiar with the situation is also helpful for the work.
benefit.
But what is supposed to come will always come. Duan Zetao was sleeping soundly that night when he suddenly received a strange phone call. He was a little annoyed to be woken up in his sleep, so after thinking about it, he answered the call.
"Are you Duan Zetao? I heard that you are a good official. There is a mining disaster in Qingshi Township. Come and take a look. They are going to seal the well and there are several people down there!" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little anxious.
"Are you telling the truth? Who are you? Why don't you report it directly to the government?!" Duan Zetao suddenly woke up from his nap and asked quickly.
"Don't worry about who I am? Anyway, what I said is absolutely true. If I report it to the government and leak the news, they will immediately seal the well and you won't be able to see anything?! Are you scared? It turns out that
You are the same as them!" After saying that, the man hung up the phone angrily.
Duan Zetao got up quickly and called Fang Dongming first, asking Fang Dongming to inform the driver Xiao Hu to come to the county committee to pick him up. After the call, he hurriedly got dressed, washed his face, and became more and more clear-headed about this matter.
It's not that simple. Why doesn't the person who made the call trust the government? There might be a huge shady story going on here.
Fang Dongming arrived very quickly, in high spirits, and didn't look like he was awake at all. The driver, Xiao Hu, kept yawning. He was actually feeling very uncomfortable. There was no benefit to be gained from following this County Magistrate Duan, and it was still late at night.
Get out of the car, isn’t this a torment?
Duan Zetao got in the car and said to Xiao Hu: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Hu, go to Qingshi Township! Under the premise of ensuring safety, drive as fast as possible!".
"Why are you going to Qingshi so late?!" Xiao Hu asked. Duan Zetao gave him a dissatisfied look. Xiao Hu immediately understood that he had said the wrong thing and his face turned red. Duan Zetao didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart.
, I should consider changing my driver.
Arriving at the entrance of the Qingshixiang Coal Mine, several burly men in black clothes suddenly ran out from the shadows on both sides. They blocked Duan Zetao's car and said fiercely: "What are you doing?!".
Xiao Hu followed other county leaders and was used to pretending to be intimidating. He rolled down the window and cursed: "You're so blind! I didn't see it was the county..." Duan Zetao quickly stopped him and said: "We are the county.
Come here to talk to your boss about a big deal."
The leader, a big man in black, looked Duan Zetao up and down. Seeing that he had an extraordinary bearing and was not angry, and that he was driving a car, he did not dare to offend him. He said to a subordinate with a scar on his face next to him.
: "Scar, take them in to find the boss, don't let them break in!".
Duan Zetao and the others followed Scarface and drove into the mine. They saw several rows of low red brick houses in the distance, with mountains of coal piled high on both sides. Scarface took them to a dimly lit room.
In the brick house, the furnishings are very simple, with a few tables and chairs randomly placed inside, and a sign hanging on the door that reads "Mine Manager's Room".
"You guys wait here. I'll call the boss. Don't run around. Something happened in the mine. I won't be responsible for anything that happens if you run around!" Scarface confessed a few words and went out.
Duan Zetao saw through the glass window that there was a bright light behind the hillside not far away, and there were also faint jeering sounds. He turned to Fang Dongming and Xiao Hu and said, "Come on, let's go there and have a look."
Xiao Hu was a little timid and said: "County Magistrate Duan, didn't that person tell us not to wander around? This mine is very messy!".
"Then you stay here!" Duan Zetao took Fang Dongming out without looking back. Xiao Hu knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so he gritted his teeth and followed.
There were no street lights, so Duan Zetao walked toward the light along a rotten road paved with cinders. Large holes were made by coal trucks on the cinder road. Duan Zetao almost fell down several times, his face
It was also stained with black soot, making it look disgraceful.
After turning over the hillside, I saw a large group of people gathered in front of me. Several women and old people were crying and wanted to rush into the mine. They were stopped by the people next to them. A tall, burly man with a straight waist led a group of people wearing miners' hats.
The miners were arguing with a large group of burly men dressed in black similar to the burly men in black that Duan Zetao encountered when he came in.
The group of men in black all held knives and clubs, had tattoos on their arms, and had fierce eyes. It was obvious at a glance that they were not kind-hearted people. Some of them even held long-barreled shotguns in their hands.
Duan Zetao was shocked. It seemed that things were far more complicated than he thought. He quietly took Fang Dongming over. At this time, they were all covered with black soot. The scene was very chaotic, but no one paid attention to them.
.
I only heard a woman crying in anger saying: "Damn you guys, my parents are still in the well. Not only do you not save me, but you also want to seal the well! Be careful, God will accept you!".
At this time, a big man in black at the head shouted loudly: "When you enter the mine, you are giving your life to the Lord of Hell. Since ancient times, I have never seen anyone who can still come out alive after the mine collapses. Besides, we, Lord Biao, will not treat you badly."
Fifty thousand yuan for each of you underground! Take the money and go back quickly! If you insist on making trouble, the gun in my hand is not a vegetarian. If you dare to sue to the county, our master Biao’s magical power
It’s not like you don’t know that if you don’t have a penny by then, your family will suffer too!..."
The more Duan Zetao listened, the more frightened he became. He whispered a few words to Fang Dongming beside him, asking him to immediately call the Public Security Bureau and the hospital to send a rescue team. He stepped out from the crowd, pointed at the man in black and angrily shouted: "You guys
Is there any royal method! Why don’t you hurry up and save people!”.
The big man in black looked at Duan Zetao who appeared out of nowhere and said in surprise: "Who are you?! What are you doing?!".
At this time, the scarred face came out from the side, pointed at Duan Zetao and said doubtfully: "Aren't you the boss who came to buy coal? Didn't I tell you not to wander around? You have nothing to do here, so leave quickly!".
As soon as the man in black heard that Duan Zetao was just a boss who came to buy coal, he felt relieved and laughed loudly: "Boy, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business! Get out of here!".
Duan Zetao stood proudly and sneered: "What if I don't leave?!" The man in black said angrily: "Hey! I'll give you some face and you're shaking. If you don't leave, don't even think about leaving. Give it to me.
Catch him!" Immediately, several of his men rushed forward to arrest Duan Zetao.
At this time, Fang Dongming had already gone aside to make a phone call and came back. Seeing Duan Zetao in danger, he rushed over, protected him behind him, and shouted: "What do you want to do?! This is County Magistrate Duan of the county!".
Everyone in the audience was stunned. The miners and their families gathered around excitedly. The tall, burly man with an upright waist who was the leader grabbed Duan Zetao's hand tightly and said, "Are you really County Magistrate Duan?! You're underground?"
Brothers are saved!".
Duan Zetao nodded and shouted to the group of men in black: "I am Duan Zetao, deputy head of the Standing Committee of Gulin County. Your behavior has seriously violated the laws of our country. Now you get out of the way and immediately attack the miners trapped underground."
Rescue! Otherwise, you will be severely punished by law!"
The man in black had come to his senses at this time, looked Duan Zetao up and down, and said with some suspicion: "How can you be the county magistrate at such a young age? Moreover, I have only heard that there is Secretary Ma and Magistrate Liu in the county. When did they become the county magistrate?"
If a baby county magistrate like you appears, he must be a fake. Even if the county magistrate comes, he still has to give us Mr. Biao face! Arrest him first and then talk about it!"
