Bao Tiancheng looked at the cold corpse in front of him with a gloomy expression.
Due to the great violence, the body on the ground had lost its outstanding appearance.
At this time it can only be distinguished as a human corpse.
"You mean, this is Zhou Zhuang's body?"
Bao Tiancheng confirmed again to the managers around him.
"Yes, it is Mr. Zhou's body..."
Managers responded submissively.
Bao Tiancheng took a deep breath to calm down his extremely irritable mood.
But this deep breath not only failed to calm him down, but his chest was also filled with the gloomy waste gas from the mine tunnel.
"Ahem...damn..."
Bao Tiancheng coughed twice and couldn't help but cursed. He didn't know what he was cursing, or whether he was cursing at all.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and arrest them?!"
Bao Tiancheng growled at the people around him.
However, some of them looked at me and I looked at you, but in the end no one moved.
The person who answered the question just now bravely explained: "The crowd was chaotic and there were many participants. It was a group violence incident..."
"What's the meaning?"
"No one knows who Mr. Zhou was beaten to death..."
At this time, several people around him responded: "Yes, the scene was so chaotic at that time, and the mine tunnel was dark and narrow, no one really saw clearly how Mr. Zhou died..."
"Several of Mr. Zhou's companions behind him were also injured and unconscious. No one could clearly point out who the murderer was..."
Everyone said something to each other, but in the final analysis, they didn't know who to arrest.
Bao Tiancheng looked at the few people eating dry food in front of him and suddenly became furious.
"Shut up, everyone!"
"If you can't find the murderer, arrest the person who caused the trouble in the first place! If you can't, arrest them all. In short, I want a satisfactory explanation for this matter!"
Seeing that Bao Tiancheng was really angry, everyone hurriedly left in fear.
After these people left, a member of the inspection team stepped forward.
"Damn it, Zhou Zhuang can't decide when to die, but he will die at this time!"
The member nodded, obviously neither of them really cared about Zhou Zhuang's life and death.
"This Zhou Zhuang is a distant relative of an elder from Wenyuan. It is said that his family is a businessman doing business in a city down there. He has some connections..."
"Hmph, he's just an elder, and he's from the Wenwen Academy, so there's nothing to worry about. It's just that if he dies now, if he doesn't handle it well and causes trouble with the academy, I'm afraid it will involve us."
The member nodded.
Bao Tiancheng continued: "The murderer must be caught. Even if the murderer cannot be found, a culprit must be found. The elder's face must still be given..."
The members nodded and agreed: "Fights in mine tunnels happen from time to time, and dead people are nothing new. I believe the elders have nothing to say about handling it this way."
Bao Tiancheng nodded.
But this member seemed to remember something, and then said: "However, team leader, this matter does not seem to be simple. I heard that the person who took the lead in provoking the trouble was a local miner."
"Local miners? Aren't most of the local miners under Doro? I have stopped their work, why are they here?"
The member explained: "I heard from the person in charge of these two miners that it was because Doro was afraid that his men would be too idle and cause trouble, so we discussed with him to come here to help."
The member then added: "The person in charge of the miner also reported it to the superior. The management of the mine at that time believed that this was also a reasonable use of power, so it was approved."
Bao Tiancheng didn't say anything after hearing this. From this point of view, this incident seemed to be a simple fight.
"No matter what, just catch him."
Bao Tiancheng had a headache, waved his hand and said.
But the member continued: "I'm afraid they won't be caught. Now the local miners have gathered together.
Confronted with the mine, unanimously claiming that the matter had nothing to do with them. "
"If they say it has nothing to do with it, it has nothing to do with it..."
At this point, Bao Tiancheng also understood. It seemed that it wasn't that they didn't dare to catch him, but that they really couldn't catch him.
The miners in Blazing City are notoriously difficult to manage. What's more, when people gather now, they are a considerable force.
Bao Tiancheng showed a fierce look and gritted his teeth and said: "Then transfer people from the academy and arrest all these stubborn people!"
"Team leader, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
"Um?"
"Let's not talk about the huge impact of this... Moreover, what Dean Duan means is that the new mine has been shut down for a while, and he is already considering resuming operation of the new mine. In this case, these miners will still be needed to work..."
Bao Tiancheng pondered for a moment and said, "Then arrest all the miners in this mining tunnel first. Didn't those local miners say they have nothing to do with them? When I interrogate all these miners, I will know that there is nothing to do with them."
"Team leader..."
"In this case, the two mine tunnels will be shut down. Recently, the Bungyuan has been urging us to leave the mine..."
This won't work, and that won't work either. Bao Tiancheng had a headache from this nonsense.
"Okay, let's do this first. It doesn't matter if these two mines are shut down for a few days, so that other mine tunnels can produce more ore."
Bao Tiancheng didn't know at all that there were very few ores that could be produced from other mine tunnels.
In doing so, he was undoubtedly mining wood from the mountains, squeezing out the last bit of strength from the miners.
However, he doesn't know yet that the revenge waiting for him has just begun.
Bao Tiancheng returned to his office after finishing some work, but he still didn't know how to write when he picked up the pen.
He needs to report what happened today to Duan Zhenbiao.
In the past month, Bao Tiancheng's written reports to Duan Zhenbiao often reported good news but not bad news, and often chose not to report some minor and trivial problems.
This gave Bao Tiancheng a headache. After thinking about it repeatedly, he still wrote:
"Dear Dean Duan:
Under your wise leadership, Mine No. 1 has been operating smoothly recently. The mine tunnel is now firmly in our hands. I believe that we will be able to completely drive Wanyuan Trading Company out of the mine tunnel in the near future..."
Immediately afterwards, Bao Tiancheng wrote in detail the results of the recent cleanup in the letter.
"But recently there was also a discordant fight in the mine tunnel. An unruly local miner accidentally beat a miner to death."
"However, please rest assured, Mr. Dean, my subordinates have arrested the real culprit. They will definitely give an explanation to the victim and improve the discipline of the mine..."
Bao Tiancheng deliberately described the mass shooting incident as a simple brawl. As for the person involved in the death, Zhou Zhuang, he simply said that he was "a miner."
But before he could finish writing the letter, a hasty knock on the door interrupted him.
"Come in!"
Bao Tiancheng was a little annoyed and threw the pen on the table.
"Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
Bao Tiancheng scolded the visitor before he could explain his purpose.
The person who came was one of the managers who had just gathered in the mine tunnel.
The visitor had something urgent to report, but when he saw that Bao Tiancheng was angry, he immediately did not dare to speak.
Seeing that he was hesitating and not daring to speak, Bao Tiancheng suddenly became even more angry.
"I'm in a hurry to come in, but I can't even fart when I come in. If you have nothing to report, get out!"
The manager then plucked up the courage to report: "Team Leader Bao, we are going to arrest people according to your instructions..."
Bao Tiancheng leaned on the backrest and lowered his eyes.
But before he could calm down, he heard the manager say something that made him even more angry.
"But... we didn't catch anyone..."
Bao Tiancheng's lowered eyes suddenly lifted up, and his eyes revealed a captivating gaze, like a wolf about to arouse.
The manager was taken two steps back by Bao Tiancheng's sudden aura, and quickly explained: "Team leader...it's not our fault for being incompetent.
, they are really too arrogant, especially the local miners headed by Doro..."
"Not only did they resist our arrest, they also united with other miners to prevent us from arresting Li Hansong..."
The manager here said that the project supervisor who was beside Bao Tiancheng before forgot to knock on the door and rushed in directly.
After seeing someone in the room, the supervisor swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
Bao Tiancheng yelled at the manager: "Then arrest them all and use all your strength!"
"I want to see if they all want to rebel!"
At this time, Bao Tiancheng had lost his mind and completely ignored whether the impact would be expanded.
However, the supervisor who rushed in objected.
"Team leader, no!"
"Um?"
Bao Tiancheng looked at the supervisor with lustful eyes.
The supervisor was startled, but he glanced at the manager who was still beside him, and said in a cryptic voice: "If that happens, I'm afraid it will affect the amount of ore..."
Only a few people in the inspection team know where the recently mined mines have been sold.
"Distribute the tasks to the few mine tunnels that can still be operated, and tell them that those who fail to complete the tasks will be their fate."
Bao Tiancheng wanted to scare the monkeys so that the miners would never dare to disobey him again.
However, things are not as simple as he thought.
"I'm afraid the other mine tunnels won't be able to start construction either..."
"What!?"
Not only was Bao Tiancheng taken aback, but the manager forgot about the difficult matter at hand for a moment and turned to look at the supervisor in shock.
"What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
Bao Tiancheng had a vague premonition.
The supervisor swallowed, collected his thoughts, and said, "A large number of local residents gathered in front of the mine tunnel to protest against our intrusion into their normal lives."
"When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
Bao Tiancheng asked.
The supervisor hesitated and said, "This happened two days ago..."
At this time, the manager next to him explained to the supervisor: "These unruly people often come to disrupt order. In the past, we often sent people to negotiate, and then sent them away with some benefits..."
"So what happened this time?"
The manager didn't understand what happened this time, so he could only look at the supervisor.
"More and more residents are gathering outside..."
The continuous bad news made Bao Tiancheng not want to get angry anymore, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
Before Bao Tiancheng opened his mouth, the manager started communicating with the supervisor.
"How could this be? In the past, we have handled these matters quite smoothly..."
The supervisor obviously understood the whole story better and said, "In the past, you always sent Doro to negotiate, but this time... for some reasons, Doro did not want to come forward..."
Everyone present knew the reason.
Only then did Bao Tiancheng realize that the low-level miners he looked down upon actually had such a high reputation in the local area.
But it is obvious that Bao Tiancheng has not realized the serious consequences of his previous mistakes.
"Without Doro, the huge No. 1 Mine won't be able to operate?!"
Bao Tiancheng didn't think that just some lowly poor people could make them helpless.
But it was the next sentence of the supervisor that made Bao Tiancheng fully realize that something was wrong.
"People from the City Lord's Mansion are here too..."
