Chapter 862: The Ghostly Axe and Divine Work of Nature

Yuan Yuan Hongbiao's complexion changed. The tone of the person speaking was wrong, and looking at this formation, his heart pounded wildly. He forced himself to calm down.

"I am Yuan Yuan Hongbiao. May I ask what business you have?"

A middle-aged man in plain clothes said, "Take him away!"

A police officer came over and, with a click, handcuffed Yuan Yuan Hongbiao.

"Who are you people, and why are you arresting our Deputy Mayor?"

Liang Zhen was worthy of being a good brother; at this time, he could actually stand up and question the people who came.

The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow. "What is your business?"

Liang Zhen straightened his chest. "I am the Mining Management Station Chief, Liang Zhen!"

A young man took out a photo from his document bag and glanced at it.

"It's him!"

"Perfect!" The middle-aged man waved his hand. "Take him away together."

"Ah?"

Liang Zhen was dumbfounded. He was used to being arrogant and didn't have any sense of the situation. If it were anyone else, seeing such a big formation, they would have shrunk their heads.

He, on the other hand, jumped out before anyone asked him; this was delivering his head. Even these people from the investigation team suspected that Liang Zhen's head had been pinched by his mother when he was born.

Liang Zhen was handcuffed in a daze. Only then did he regret it, wishing he could find a piece of tofu to crash into.

It was clear he was also on the arrest list; he couldn't escape for a moment, let alone a lifetime.

But if he hadn't been showing off, he might have been missed for the time being, and then he would have had time to tip off the news.

Now, he was taken in one fell swoop. It was really "showing off for a moment is cool, but the aftermath is a funeral."

At this time, because the incident was too sudden, after the panic, Yuan Yuan Hongbiao also calmed down.

There were so many people standing behind him; he had been arrested, so they should be even more anxious, right?

This guy's confidence came up. If they dared not care about him, he would drag them all into the water.

Eat the steamed bun if you should eat the steamed bun, eat the bullet if you should eat the bullet; if I don't have a good time, you bastards shouldn't think about being free and easy outside either.

………………

Zhenxing Village Brigade Headquarters, Xiao Chun'er and a few others were playing cards when the phone suddenly rang.

A young man reached out and grabbed the phone. "This is the Zhenxing Village Brigade Headquarters!"

A low voice came from the receiver: "This is Hong Hong Xinmin. Notify Chairman Zhou immediately: Yuan Yuan Hongbiao has been arrested."

"Alright!" The young man put down the phone.

Xiao Chun'er asked, "Who called?"

"Someone named Hong Hong Xinmin." The young man stood up. "He said Yuan Yuan Hongbiao was arrest..."

Speaking of this, the young man paused, then suddenly widened his eyes and shouted in disbelief.

"Damn, Yuan Yuan Hongbiao was arrested."

Xiao Chun'er and the others were stunned for a moment, then stood up in unison.

The stools were knocked over by them, the office desk was moved, and the creaking sound of the table legs rubbing against the ground was very stimulating to the eardrums.

"What did you say?" Another young man asked with his mouth wide open.

The others looked at the young man who answered the phone, full of disbelief.

"Yuan... Yuan Yuan Hongbiao was arrested!" The young man who answered the phone had his throat roll. "Maybe... maybe this person named Hong Hong Xinmin is teasing us."

"Our County Mayor is named Hong Hong Xinmin." Xiao Chun'er ran out, ran back after leaving the door: "Don't spread this matter. Even if you go home, don't say it. Do you hear me?"

Several people nodded fiercely. "We know."

Having received the guarantee, Xiao Chun'er turned and ran out again. Zhou Andong investing in Yuan Yuan Hongbiao's mine was not a secret, and many people in the village knew about it.

Now that Yuan Yuan Hongbiao was suddenly arrested, and it was the County Mayor who called personally to notify, in Xiao Chun'er's mind, this was absolutely a huge matter for Zhou Andong, and he had to notify him immediately.

Xiao Chun'er pedaled his bicycle as if he were stepping on wind wheels, and slipped out of the brigade headquarters in a flash.

Arriving at the Yuan family, he threw his bicycle aside and rushed into the house.

"Xiao Chun'er, what's wrong? In such a hurry!"

Yuan Ying was holding a broom, sweeping the floor with her head down. Xiao Chun'er rushed into the house suddenly, giving her a fright.

Xiao Chun'er caught his breath. "Is Chairman Zhou here?"

Yuan Ying swept the trash into the dustpan. "He's in the small woods on the west mountain, saying the inside of the cave has been opened, and many people in the village have gone."

Xiao Chun'er turned and ran out, bent down to pick up the bicycle, ran a few steps, grabbed the handlebars with both hands, jumped with both legs, swung his whole body, and then straddled his legs, sitting steadily on the seat.

The cave entrance at the foot of the

Inside the cave, the stone crevice that once leaked mountain spring water had opened into a hole over a meter high, with water gushing out from within.

The person in charge of the construction team took a flashlight and bent over to crawl through the opening, with Zhou Andong, Wu Lao, and Yuan Yuan Hongzhan following behind.

The space inside was narrow, requiring one to turn their body slightly to pass through.

The group waded through the bone-chilling water for about ten meters, turned a corner, and heard the construction lead shout from ahead.

"We're here!"

Zhou Andong and the other two turned the corner and, by the light of the flashlight, saw that the space inside was quite large, about three or four hundred square meters.

Against the right stone wall was a large pool, where the center was bubbling as if it were boiling.

Wu Lao took the flashlight and shone it into the pool, a smile appearing on his face.

"Chairman Zhou, your luck is truly excellent. This is confined water from the lowest layer of groundwater."

Zhou Andong had many flaws, but only one virtue: if he didn't understand something, he asked.

"What is confined water?"

Wu Lao smiled and said, "Groundwater is divided into three main categories: perched water, phreatic water, and confined water. The conditions under which these three different types of groundwater exist vary, and the water quality differs greatly as well.

Perched water is a water body formed by atmospheric precipitation remaining in shallow rock fissures or sedimentary layers; it is heavily influenced by the surface, and its water quality is not suitable for direct consumption.

Phreatic water is groundwater buried below the surface, above the first stable impermeable layer. Most of the groundwater we usually see is phreatic water, and when it flows out to the surface, it forms a spring.

Confined water, also known as artesian water, is groundwater buried deeper and stored between two impermeable layers. This type of groundwater often possesses significant water pressure.

When a well or borehole penetrates the upper confining layer, the powerful pressure causes the water to gush out, forming an artesian flow."

Wu Lao used the flashlight to shine on the bubbling water in the pool: "Do you see? This must be an artesian pool formed by crustal movements over millions of years.

And I can be certain that the water wells in the homes of the villagers in Zhenxing Village belong to the same watercourse as this underground river."

Zhou Andong looked at the bubbling water in the pool and sighed, "Nature is truly a master of creation!"
