Chapter 1205

"Daquan!" Sun Wang walked up quickly: "Is it..."

Wanquan waved his hand: "Let's talk inside."

"Okay!" Sun Wang turned and walked back.

"Da Qiangzi!"

Wanquan greeted Da Qiangzi and then greeted the other two young men.

"Brother Shan, Brother Hai!"

Chen Zhishan and Ma Hai were both villagers of Tianhe Village. Wanquan knew them, but usually, when they met, it was just a nod and a greeting.

The five people entered the room, and Sun Wang said: "Sit, let's talk while we drink."

Wanquan sat down, and Da Qiangzi found a clean bowl and poured him half a bowl of wine.

"Daquan, how is it?"

Wanquan looked at Chen Zhishan and Ma Hai: "Brother Shan and Brother Hai, were you also cheated by Wang Bowen?"

"F*** his mother." Chen Zhishan cursed: "I worked for him for half a year and didn't get a single cent of wages. I quit and went to other mines to find work. As soon as they heard I came out of Jianghe Mining, no one dared to hire me.

At first, I didn't know what was going on. I asked around and finally learned from someone's mouth. Wang Bowen had warned the mine owners around our county that whoever dared to hire workers from Jianghe Mining would have a hard time.

Now there's no shortage of miners. Even if they aren't afraid of Wang Bowen, who would look for trouble for no reason? So, I could only go to other cities to find work. Dawang contacted me two days ago, and that's why I came back."

"My situation is about the same as Brother Shan's. Wang Bowen owes me two months' wages." Ma Hai said, touching a scar on his face, his eyes revealing deep hatred: "This scar was made by Wang Bowen with a coal hook when I went to ask for my wages."

Wanquan asked Sun Wang again: "How many people did you contact?"

Sun Wang said: "More than seventy people, all of whom were cheated by Wang Bowen in the nearby villages. Most of them are working in mines in Ji'an and Fuzhou. As long as I make a phone call, they can be home tomorrow night."

Wanquan asked: "Are there any you haven't contacted?"

"Of course there are." Sun Wang said: "Over the years, there are far more than seventy people who have been cheated by Wang Bowen."

Chen Zhishan said: "A friend of mine from the neighboring Lianshan Village had his arm cut off by Wang Bowen's people a year ago. I went to find him the day before yesterday, but he was scared and didn't agree."

"Dawang!" Wanquan said: "Contact these people now and have them arrive in Ningdu County before four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and meet at the Ningdu Hotel."

"Go to Ningdu?" Da Qiangzi asked, a bit puzzled: "What are we going there for?"

Wanquan leaned forward: "Big shots from Beijing have come, and even reporters from the main station have come. They are in Ningdu right now."

"Really?" A few people looked pleasantly surprised.

"Of course it's true." Wanquan said: "At a time like this, the arrow is already on the string. What good would it do me to lie to you?"

Da Qiangzi still didn't understand: "Why don't they come to our county?"

"You're stupid to death." Sun Wang cursed: "In our Lingbei Town, there are Wang Bowen's lackeys everywhere. So many people coming back and gathering together, once Wang Bowen finds out, an accident will definitely happen, causing our plan to go bankrupt."

Da Qiangzi understood, but still said: "Ningdu might not necessarily be safe."

Wanquan said softly: "In the entire Ganzhou Province, there won't be a safer place than Ningdu."

Sun Wang's heart stirred. Going to Ningdu, in his view, was a method that wasn't really a method.

Because the entire Ganzhou had formed a community of interests, their actions, as long as they were seen by someone with ulterior motives, would definitely be passed on to Dingnan County.

As long as it reached Dingnan, Wang Bowen wouldn't even need to show his face; the authorities could potentially take action against them.

But listening to what Wanquan meant, could Ningdu become that white lotus in the mud pond?

Looking at Sun Wang, who was lost in thought, Wanquan smiled: "Dawang, can you contact two reliable people who are still working in Wang Bowen's mines?"

"Yes!" Sun Wang said: "Because they are still working in Wang Bowen's mines, I was afraid they would reveal their tracks, so I'm waiting to contact them before the action."

Wanquan said: "Contact them. They must be reliable. I will provide them with equipment. Secretly film the entire process of mining, mineral washing, pollution, and smuggling."

Sun Wang hesitated for a moment, because this was very dangerous. Once Wang Bowen found out, they could lose their lives.

But he still nodded: "I'll arrange it."

Wanquan looked at the time: "You contact those people who are out of town, and Hai and I will go see his friend. No matter what, we have to persuade him."

Ningdu County!

County Magistrate Huang Qiming was flipping through the documents on his desk, a bit absent-minded. He held a fountain pen, wanting to sign, but started to lose focus again.

After a good while, he came back to his senses, looked at the document again, and signed his name.

Just as he put down the pen and picked up his tea mug, preparing to pour a cup of boiling water, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

Huang Qiming put down the tea mug with a 'clatter' and quickly picked up the phone: "I am Huang Qiming!"

Liu Zhengming's voice came from the receiver: "People from Beijing have come, and they will arrive tonight."

Huang Qiming's heart jumped violently, and then he took a deep breath: "I understand."

Liu Zhengming said: "Whether we can succeed this time depends on you there."

"The old leader has already instructed me." Huang Qiming's voice became deep and powerful: "Even if my hat is taken off and my head is lost, I will poke a hole in this sky of Ganzhou."

Liu Zhengming's voice softened: "Big shots from the central authorities have already intervened. So, as long as we don't make any mistakes here, not just Ganzhou, the entire Ganzhou Province will change its sky."

Huang Qiming was energized: "Do you know which one it is?"

"I don't know." Liu Zhengming said: "This isn't something we can know. What we can do is do our own jobs well."

Huang Qiming was just asking casually. He naturally understood that it was impossible to get any news from Liu Zhengming's mouth.

"Alright, I'll arrange it."

Huang Qiming put down the phone, pondered for a moment, picked up the receiver again, and dialed a string of numbers.

"Yang Gang, come to my office immediately."

"Yes!" the other party said, and immediately after, a busy signal came from the phone.

Huang Qiming got up, took his tea mug, and poured a cup of boiling water.

He was a native of Ningdu and had spent seven years completing the process from a village secretary to a township head.

Later, he was transferred to another place, and five years ago, he was transferred back to Ningdu to serve as the executive deputy county magistrate because he was a Ningdu native.

Having worked in the townships below, his connections and resources had always been there, and his situation was completely different from Liu Zhengming's.

But he also had his own principles: he absolutely would not take what he shouldn't take.

No matter who asked him to do something, as long as it was reasonable and legal, he would handle it without any discount.

However, when everyone else is asleep and only you are awake, then you are an outlier.

In just one year, he was promoted to serve as county magistrate.

But by now, it had been more than four years, and he hadn't moved an inch in that position.

This showed that someone was holding him down. As long as he was willing to bow his head, he would be promoted immediately.

If he kept his neck stiff and refused to bow his head, the result would be being transferred to a 'clear water yamen' (a position with little power or money) until retirement.
