The Dongcha team visited several places, but did not get the ideal results. The people from Quanben Novel Network seem to be assigned to the investigation team to visit them, with the arrangements of the investigation team with great thoughtful arrangements, without any slight neglect. However, at critical moments, they often make excuses and treat them perfunctorily. The investigation team is also quite helpless about the attitude of the local government.

"It won't work if this continues. We have to go back in shame sooner or later." In Yuanhu City, another prefecture-level city in Jinxi Province, the investigation team came to Yuanhu City today after a brief rest in the provincial capital of Jincheng last night. This is the first place to be exposed on the Internet and the most serious and rampant black coal mines.

The investigation team visited several villages today, but none of them had expected results. People from local governments seemed to be intentional to guide them on the wrong route. For those who came from outside, it would be difficult to move forward without local people. Moreover, they seemed to be unable to find a breakthrough in front of the spider webs woven by local governments.

"I feel like someone is looking at the place where we live." Huang Anguo frowned slightly.

"Why, do you feel this way?" Hu Gongwen looked at Huang Anguo in surprise. He had been working in the Discipline Inspection Commission for more than ten years. Last night, he discovered some subtle places through some girl traces, but did not say it. Instead, he buried it in his heart. Today, he came back from several villages he visited. With his intuition to handle cases for more than ten years, he still felt that people were staring around him. This was purely a feeling, and there was no direct evidence, so Hu Gongwen didn't say it either. After all, nothing can be proved by empty words.

"Yes." Huang Anguo nodded, "But feeling alone doesn't mean anything. Even if we can really find evidence, the people who take the place can't help. They can have all kinds of reasons to shirk their heads. Even if they say that they are sent to protect our safety, we can only stare at them."

"I think the others should have noticed it, but there is no evidence, and no one said it." Hu Gongwen nodded. Others in the investigation team, including those who were drawn from the Public Security Bureau and the Supreme People's Procuratorate. These are all full of battles and have rich experience in handling cases. The two of them have noticed it, and the others should not have noticed it at all.

"We have long suspected that we were being followed by someone. I didn't expect everyone to feel this way." Huang Anguo and Hu Gongwen were chatting in a small reception room in the hotel. The door was not closed. At this time, several other leaders representing their respective departments also walked in. The heads of the investigation team were all here.

"If we continue like this, we will be blind and we will have nothing to do." said a deputy director from the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, and his views were also recognized by several others.

"But we don't have any particularly good solutions right now.

Hu Gongwen was locked with his eyebrows tightly.

Huang Anguo also fell silent for a moment. The investigation team's work is now in a passive state, and he is not happy to see this situation. Mi Zhendong asked him to come down. Although he wanted to use the old man behind him to see if he could make the movement in Jinxi Province bigger, and he did it according to the old man's wishes. Don't be too active, but he had to take the initiative. He just kept everything to a tepid level. This is what the old man meant. Jinxi Province could change the world, but he shouldn't be that gun. The old man's attitude in Jinxi Province was not highly consistent with Mi Zhendong.

But if the investigation team is not moving at the moment and cannot move forward, no one wants to see this situation. At least it involves officials from the black media kiln, and what should be investigated and dealt with should be investigated and dealt with.

"I think this is the case. We don't need local governments to lead the way. We go down to visit ourselves, find local villagers to lead the way, and understand the situation. Moreover, our itinerary must be kept confidential in advance. People from the side cannot know in advance. I will depend on how they can prevent it." Hu Gongwen said his suggestion.

"This is feasible. I have another addition. Can we divide all investigators into two groups into more than a dozen groups and visit different places. In this way, local people can't prevent them even if they want to prevent them." Huang Anguo also added his suggestions.

Huang Anguo's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. Except for Hu Gongwen, who knew that Huang Anguo was Huang Tian's grandson, the other two knew that Huang Anguo was the deputy director of the Mianzhendong Office, but this identity alone made people feel pressured, and no one dared to ignore his words.

"Okay, just do it like this. The people in these places are so annoying. Beware of us as we are thieves. We don't focus on those escaped criminal suspects, but instead stare at our sentry." The deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security seemed to be a person with a hot temper.

Huang Anguo did not participate in the specific division of labor meeting. Investigation was not his strength. He also arranged the existing investigators to be grouped together, so he didn't have to fuck this.

Huang Anguo, who returned to the room, suddenly received a call from Qin Shan, "Anguo, how is the work going?"

"Today I went downstairs to visit the coal mines in several villages, and the work was not going well." Huang Anguo did not expect Qin Shan to call him.

"Oh?" Qin Shan's voice paused, "The local government's lip service attitude should be foreseeable, and it is normal for you to encounter resistance."

Qin Shan didn't say much. After all, he was not an expert in handling cases. Some of the investigation team were experts in handling cases, so there was no need to let him make this suggestion. After a few greetings to Huang Anguo, Qin Shan stopped talking nonsense, "Anguo, Chairman Fu wants to call you, I'll turn the phone over to you, you can prepare."

Huang Anguo was shocked. When he had time to react, the phone had already turned around. A voice from the east side of Qizhendong sounded, "Anguo, how was the investigation work on the first day?"

The content of Qizhendong's question was basically the same as Qin Shan just now, with a friendly tone, as if he was talking about family matters. The more this happened, Huang Anguo felt the greater the pressure. He knew what the real purpose of Qizhendong was. At present, the Black Butterfly Kiln case was the fuse of Qizhendong's officialdom in western Shanxi. Qizhendong's concern was imaginable. But Huang Anguo knew the old man's position, so the role he played in this case would not be as Qizhendong hoped that he would play. Of course, he had to rely on his ability to find a balance point, which would not make Qizhendong feel dissatisfied, and at the same time, it was in line with the old man's position. Just as the old man said, everything should be grasped well.

"Now is the time to test you. Since people in the local area may not cooperate, no matter what the reason is, it depends on how you can overcome this difficulty."

Huang Anguo said that Fang Shang's possible attitude was not said. Mi Zhendong didn't say anything. He wanted to completely rectify the administration of the western province of Shanxi. Huang Anguo's words made him feel more firm in his heart, but he would not reveal his own thoughts.

The call with Mian Zhendong was not long. In just a few minutes, Mian Zhendong not only cared about the case, but also comforted him. Huang Anguo did not feel the difference in praise and affirmation of Mian Zhendong except for the severe pressure. He only cared about the case... He did not limit the time or issued a death order to say when a breakthrough must be made, but it was precisely because he did not say that people felt greater pressure.

The division of labor of the investigation team began to be implemented the next day. Two people were in a group, each group went to different places to understand the situation. At the same time, the investigation team also rejected the people sent by the local government to receive and acted alone. This move obviously achieved great results. The local government, who had been watching every move of the investigation team, did not expect that the investigation team would suddenly make a counterattack, nor did they expect that the investigation team would see through their intentions so soon, which caught the local government off guard.

A total of thirteen groups of investigators were divided into different townships and natural villages to understand the situation. Local governments were unable to respond effectively at once. In this game of cats and mice, who would take the initiative depends on their respective reaction abilities.

In the Governor's Office of the Provincial Government Building in the Shanxi Provincial Government Building, Governor Yang Yijun listened to the report of the whereabouts of the investigation team, and after hanging up the phone, he was silent.

Those surveillance and investigation teams, and even the actions of the municipal governments at the municipal level, were not instructed by him, or to be precise, no one was instructed. This is a spontaneous interest group. When the shared interests of everyone will be destroyed by external damage, this large network that exists invisibly silently operates, creating many obstacles, and setting up layers of checkpoints. The purpose is to protect everyone's shared interests from being destroyed. No one needs to issue orders. This network is a loose existence when it is not needed, and no one can notice it, but once it is attacked. The dense protective net it woven like a girl network can stick people hard to the girl network, and it is difficult to get in the way.

Yang Yijun sighed slightly. He didn't want to see this situation and could not change it. It is well known that the officials in Jinxi Province are not easy to be a deaf governor or a blind governor, pretending not to know anything and only doing what can be done, or he has to integrate into this huge network of interests and want to make changes. The final result is that he is disgraceful and can escape unstoppable. Unless there is a deep background behind it, the result will not be much better. Therefore, many people do not expect that Jinxi will come to Jinxi, whether it is the top leader of the party committee or the top leader of the administration, it is a difficult position.

In the past few years, he became one of them without realizing it. He originally wanted to make a difference, but in the end he chose to compromise under the cruel reality. He didn't know when he had quietly become a member of this net, as if he had been assimilated without a trace.

"I'm afraid it's hard to escape this time." Yang Yijun frowned slightly. The investigation team seemed to be coming gently, but in fact it was coming in full force. Today, it began to show its hideous minions. If these people who came from the central government really wanted to take real action, it was really not something that the local government could stop them. They could create various obstacles in secret, but they openly did not cooperate. No one dared to do that.

"A giant like the Lejia is in Jin Province one day. If Jin Province wants to achieve effective reforms in the administration of officials, it will be impossible for the success of the Lejia province to achieve effective reforms. The power of the Lejia has penetrated almost every department. In this case, who can survive alone? Either do nothing, or be in conjunction with the flow or get bloody." Yang Yimin thought about his thoughts on how many years he had been in Jin Province. In the second year of his arrival in Jin Province, he said this sentence himself. He still believes in this sentence deeply. The Lejia, a giant, does not give up its current vested interests and withdraws from Jin Province. It will be difficult for the reform of Jin Province to truly achieve results.

"Yijun, do you have time now? Come to my office." Yang Yijun's thoughtfulness, the provincial party secretary Zeng Guangming had already called.

Yang Yijun tidied up his clothes and walked out of the office calmly. At this time, Zeng Guangming called and didn't have to think about why.

"Yijun is here, sit, sit." Zeng Guangming stood up enthusiastically and personally invited Yang Yijun to sit down on the sofa.

"Secretary Zeng, you are so polite. This is not the first time you have come. If this continues, I will not dare to come to your office in the future." Yang Yijun smiled, "Secretary Zeng, please sit down too."

Zeng Guangming nodded with a smile, sat down on the sofa on the side of Yang Yijun, brought a cup of tea on the table, and wanted to hand it over to Yang Yijun again.

Yang Yijun hurriedly took it with both hands. Every time he came to Zeng Guangming's office, the top leader of Jin Province always made people feel kindness like spring breeze. But it was such a secretary who smiled all day long that he always became a roadblock for his desire to reform. He wanted to make a difference, and the biggest resistance was undoubtedly from the provincial party secretary. Of course, Yang Yijun actually knew in his heart that even if he did not have Zeng Guangming, he had to be prepared to make a bloody head if he wanted to make a difference in Jin Province. The huge size of the Le family was more terrible than Zeng Xian. Ming didn't know how many times the attitude of Zeng Guangming was. Zeng Guangming's acquiescent and indulgent attitude were catalysts to encourage the Le family's power in Jin Province.

Yang Yijun sometimes thought that if the two of them could maintain a consistent attitude at the same time and make up their minds to cut off the interest chain of officials and businessmen, I don’t know if the situation would be different from the moment. The top leaders of the party and government united and made efforts at the same time, perhaps they could truly put pressure on the Le family. However, Zeng Guangming was supported by the Le family and transferred to Jin Province. The purpose was nothing more than to maintain and consolidate the vested interests of the Le family in Jin Province. It was precisely because Zeng Guangming was in Jin Province that the Le family didn’t care who the position of the governor fell on.

"Yijun, now the investigation team has started to take action. Our provincial party committee and government cannot just watch the show, but also take action. Those officials who shelter black coal mines should not be lenient, and we cannot let our Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and Government join the people together." Zeng Guangming glanced at Yang Yijun with a smile.

"Oh, what does Secretary Zeng mean?" Yang Yijun probably guessed Zeng Guangming's intention.

"I mean we have to let the people, even the investigation team, or the central leadership, see our attitude, and we will never be ruthless when it comes to officials who cover up the Black Butterfly Kiln.

"I agree with Secretary Zeng's intention. If you don't punish a group of people harshly, you will not be able to achieve the deterrent effect." Yang Yijun nodded and agreed, feeling a little ridiculed. At this time, he was still playing this trick of avoiding the important and being careless. Even if he could fool the people, he could hide it from the eyes of the senior management?

Today, a group of officials who sheltered the black coal mines were placed. Tomorrow, it is possible to continue to grow a group of people and then become protective umbrellas. The key is to cure the root cause. Zeng Guangming's attitude once again showed that he did not want to cure it. Yang Yijun could understand his approach. After all, he relied on the support of the Le family and could only do this. Even if he was assimilated into a member of this interest network, he had not participated in anything, but his inaction was the biggest sin.

Huang Anguo did not have the roots of the investigation team to act together. He contacted Guo Hua, and Guo Hua, who received a call from Huang Anguo, rushed to Yuanhu City in a hurry.

"I want to go to the townships below Yuanhu City alone. "I have lived in Jinzhou for more than 20 years. I should not be unfamiliar with the situation here. It is convenient to communicate with my own people." Huang Anguo said his purpose, and it was not without reason for him to come to Guo Hua. Yesterday, he found that local villagers were very surprised by those who spoke accents from other provinces. Huang Anguo couldn't figure out why. The case of the black coal mine should be something that many people hate. In recent times, many foreign media may have been following the reports.

The local people should be accustomed to this matter when they see foreigners. Why are they so wary? Besides, even journalists can help the case. As long as the case is always concerned, it will help create pressure on the local government, the people should also applaud and be happy. It is really unusual to have such an attitude. Huang Anguo suspected that these local people might have been warned in advance and could not say anything casually. He asked Guo Hua, an old classmate who spoke a Jin Provincial accent, to come over, undoubtedly to eliminate the local people's vigilance first.

"That's fine. I've been to almost every part of Jin Province. I'm definitely an old world in Jin Province." Guo Hua confidently patted his chest when he heard what Huang Anguo said.

Huang Anguo chose a natural village in a remote township below Yuanhu City, and Guo Hua happened to drive over. There is no need to worry about transportation.

"An Guo, the provincial TV station played another big news this morning. Governor Yang Yijun personally spoke and issued a statement again to seriously investigate and punish officials at all levels who condoned and sheltered the black coal mine case. No matter what position or level, they must be taken down." Guo Hua talked about the news he got from reading the morning news early this morning. "This time his attitude is much more severe than last time. If you say that last time, it makes people unable to see if the province really has serious ideas, this time it is probably going to be investigated and dealt with."

"Oh?" Huang Anguo was slightly moved.

"It seems that you, the people from the central government, have a great role to play. The attitude of the province changes a lot every day, making people watch fireworks, like singing operas, haha." Guo Hua teased without hesitation.

"But the opera was very important in the past, but now it seems that you are preparing for real swords and guns. Has your investigation team put a lot of pressure on the province?"

"It's not true, our investigation has just begun, so how can we put pressure on it?" Huang Anguo shook his head, but he was thinking more. The senior executives of the provincial party committee of Jin Province were afraid that they really couldn't sit still and wanted to take the initiative with a group of people first.

"No matter what, I feel it has a lot to do with you. At the beginning, the case was exposed, but I didn't see any reaction in the province. Until the impact of the incident became increasingly greater, a provincial government spokesperson came out to explain the situation. This was obviously perfunctory.

Huang Anguo did not answer, and Guo Hua's basic guess was basically true, but the real purpose of the senior management of Jin Province was not something he could know. Rather than trying to attack a group of officials now, it would be better to say that the senior management and investigation team in Jin Province were playing a game of chasing each other. When he saw that the investigation team had left the local governments today, the senior management of Jin Province also responded quickly and wanted to gain the priority first. This was a game between the investigation team and the senior management of Jin Province, and it was also a game between the senior management of Jin Province and even the Lejia and the Central Committee.

"By the way, An Guo, I don't know whether to say it or not." Guo Hua suddenly slowed down the car.

"There is something we can't say about our relationship. If you say this, you really deserve a beating." Huang Anguozuo seemed angry.

"You met me the night before yesterday. Someone came to my house yesterday. I hope to get to know you through my introduction." Guo Hua still looked incredible when he remembered the situation at that time.

"Who?" Huang Anguo frowned slightly.

"You can't even imagine it." Guo Hua said with a smile.

“Is it a local government?”

"How do you know?" Guo Huacha looked at Huang Anguo in surprise. Huang Anguo didn't guess who he was, but he had basically guessed it right. Guo Hua thought Huang Anguo would definitely not have thought of it. Unexpectedly, the other party hit it in one go.

"I guessed it, tell me. Who is looking for you?"

"Haha, it seems you are confident." Guo Hua shook his head with a wry smile, "The one who came to my house is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Jincheng Municipal Party Committee. The Secretary-General of the Provincial Government was also with him."

"The level is not low." Huang Anguo smiled with emotion.

"It's not that it's not that low, it's already quite high." Guo Hua shook his head, "Good. Although you, a perverted classmate, made me immune to some ordinary officials, I was really shocked yesterday. My father said that he had lived in Jincheng for decades and had never enjoyed such treatment. Yesterday, he was so flattered. The secretary of the municipal party committee and the secretary-general of the provincial government visited my house in person, and his attitude was surprisingly friendly, as if we were the leaders and they were ordinary people. Haha, this feeling is really great. I still feel so glamorous now. However, I blame so many people for their bloody struggle for power and profit. Power is really a good thing."

"Did they make any requests?" Huang Anguo still frowned.

"I didn't make any requests, just hope I can help you get in touch and ask you to come out for a gathering in private, and I don't know how they knew the relationship between us."

Huang Anguo did not speak. From Guo Hua's words, he proved that the people from the local governments of Jin Province were constantly watching their every move, and even their travels were being followed. From the moment their investigation team stepped into Jin Province, they were probably being watched closely. The night before, he only went out to meet Guo Hua, the old classmate, and he would be followed. It can be seen that his intuitions with Hu Wengong and others yesterday were not wrong. Even if they arrived in Yuanhu City, they were still staring at each move. Whenever there was any movement, they would immediately report it layer by layer.

"You are native to Jin Province. It is not easy for these Jin Province leaders to investigate you. You can follow the clues from you." Huang Anguo couldn't refuse. He knew the power of some government departments. As long as you can provide some information, your ancestors can be investigated for eight generations.

"Haha, we have really enjoyed the treatment of the leader once. Haha, I heard from my dad that the secretary-general of the provincial government is also a deputy ministerial-level official. Yesterday, two deputy ministerial-level officials came to my house together to visit. I really don't know when I can enjoy this treatment again." Guo Hua licked the corner of his mouth. The pleasure brought by this extreme contrast between identity and status can undoubtedly make people enjoy it very much.

"It's not difficult for you to enjoy this treatment. As long as I haven't met them for a day, you may continue to enjoy the treatment." Huang Anguo smiled, looking at something.

"Forget it, let's just talk about it. If you enjoy this kind of treatment, you will have a life-long life. It shouldn't be something that ordinary people like us can afford. They hope that I will match you to meet them privately. If I don't achieve their goal, I may have to take my anger on my head in the future, then I will be in trouble." Guo Hua said half-jokingly.

God, they just asked you why didn't you tell me yesterday? Huang Anguo asked the gangsters.

"I discussed with my dad and thought it would be better not to join in the fun. I guess you are coming down to investigate the Heihan Kiln case. These officials are anxious to meet you through private channels. There must be some unspeakable purpose. Besides, as a native of Jincheng, I don't know that the black coal mine case now seems to involve some department-level and department-level cadres, but if you really want to investigate the root cause, these department-level and ministerial officials may not be clean. You have the mission of investigating. If they want to see you, then it will be self-evident for the purpose. I thought it would be better not to tell you that you don't know that this is okay. If you know, go or not to meet them. Wouldn't it be embarrassing you?"

"Haha, it's right, you did this." Huang Anguo nodded in appreciation, "But it doesn't matter. I directly rejected these people if I don't want to see them, and there is nothing I dare not do."

The car gradually drove into Xihua Village, Linyuan Town, which is a township and natural village located in Anning County, Yuanhu City. Huang Anguo checked many newspapers and accidentally saw that the newspaper mentioned this place. There are also black coal mines here, but they are far less popular than the villages that were exposed at the beginning.

Huang Anguo also had to admire the ability of those reporters. He could dig out any news. The paparazzi made celebrities afraid of everyone. The skills of these reporters were also unambiguous. Both sides had specialized in their profession.

I stopped the car on the side of the road and entered the township. Many places were still dirt roads. Except for some main roads, most of them were dirt roads. The ground that had just rained was full of muddy puddles, and the black cars that Guo Hua drove by himself were splashed with mud on the body.

"If you want to say that people in Jin Province are rich, they are very rich, but poor places are really unbearable to take a look. The polarization between the rich and the poor is extremely obvious in our Jin Province." Guo Hua got off the car and looked at the pit and swayed on the ground. The car really couldn't drive, so they could only stop the car on the side of the road and walk into the village.

"It seems that there is a police motorcycle there." Guo Hua pointed in front, and a police motorcycle parked further forward than them.

"It seems that the local police have also noticed this place." Huang Anguo squinted his eyes and looked at the police motorcycle in front. When he arrived in such a remote place, he was no longer afraid of local governments following him or whether the local villagers were verbally warned.

When the two entered the village, they could see someone working in the field. When they walked into the village, there were people walking on the road. Huang Anguo looked at the houses in the village, looking for where there was a coal mine.

"I really don't know why you chose such a place." Guo Hua looked at Huang Anguo's shoes, smiled bitterly, and then looked at his leather shoes, which had already become mud shoes.
To be continued...
