Hearing what Tao Jiang said, Fei Dezhu's face turned slightly pale.
When he went to ask Tao Hongding for money at noon, he unexpectedly met Tao Jiang, whom he hadn't seen for several years. Seeing Tao Jiang's face that was more handsome than a girl's, Fei Dezhu couldn't help but made some provocative remarks.
Although Tao Hongding still sent 200,000 to himself as usual, he also sent himself a message on WeChat - leave Pingcheng soon.
If Tao Hongding knew that not only was he disobedient, but he was also blocked in the bathing center by Tao Jiang...
Fei Dezhu's spine felt a little chilly. He couldn't help but think of the vague murderous intention behind him when he left Tao's house at noon.
Fei Dezhu put out the cigarette in his hand, looked at Tao Jiang and said with a dry smile: "Master Tao, you and Uncle Tao are both old people in the village. You should know best about my virtues. I can't say it in a nice way. Just a scoundrel.
Uncle Tao's family has a big business, and a little bit slipped through his fingers is enough for me to spend a long time. In the coal business, it is better to do less than to do more. Uncle Tao always thinks about my father's feelings at that time, and listens to me saying a few words, and naturally Just give me some lucky money. "
Tao Jiang narrowed his eyes and glanced at Fei Dezhu, then said calmly: "Really?"
As soon as Tao Jiang finished speaking, Fei Dezhu felt a shock all over his body, and instantly entered a strange state. His eyes were completely dark, he could not see anything, and there was no sound in his ears.
What's wrong with you? How could he become blind and deaf in an instant
Fei Dezhu instinctively wanted to raise his hand to touch his eyes, but found that his hands could no longer move at all.
Not only his hands, but his entire body was completely out of his control.
His consciousness was like a ghost trapped in a cage, completely cut off from the world.
After an unknown amount of time, Fei Dezhu finally heard the sound of the air conditioner in his ears, his vision gradually brightened, and he regained control of his body.
"This is your last chance, I hope you take advantage of it." Tao Jiang said calmly.
Fei Dezhu, who had regained his life, looked at Tao Jiang opposite in horror and told everything he knew.
It all started two years ago.
After the coal reform, the coal market has been sluggish, and the coal bosses who once became rich have already left Pingcheng and moved to other industries. Although the Tao family still has a mine in the village, Tao Hongding rarely goes there anymore.
But just two years ago, Tao Hongding returned to the village with a huge sum of money and took possession of all the mines in the village.
Although the coal market has improved a bit in recent years, the profits are not high. Tao Hongding's move is really strange.
Many elderly people in the village tried to dissuade Tao Hongding, but Tao Hongding said that he was old, had only one son, and was far away from home. Now he just wanted to repay his hometown.
Several mines in the village were previously in the hands of businessmen from other places, which was not good for the people who worked in the mines in the village. Now, the villagers can feel more comfortable working under their own hands.
Most people in the village didn't believe what Tao Hongding said.
After all, when the coal industry was booming in the early years, everyone had seen Tao Hongding's methods.
But what the villagers didn't expect was that Tao Hongding really fulfilled his promise.
Of the five mines in the village, Tao Hongding designated the two safest ones and arranged for all the people in the village to work in the mines. The daily working hours were 20% shorter than before, but the salary was twice as high as before, including holidays. You can also get a lot of red envelopes.
The other three mines are staffed by outsiders who come to work in the mines. Although their salaries have increased by 20%, the workload is heavier than usual.
The people in the village received benefits and praised Tao Hongding to everyone who met him. They treated Tao Hongding, his father and mother, with gratitude and gratitude. At the same time, they also showed a bit of condescension to the outsiders who came to work in the mine.
Fei Dezhu, who had always been idle, had no gratitude towards Tao Hongding. On the contrary, he always felt that there must be some ulterior purpose behind Tao Hongding's doing these things.
Two years have passed. The two mines where villagers work are as stable as public institutions, but the three mines where outsiders come to work are like assembly lines, with workers constantly changing.
Because the wages in the mines here in Tao Hongding are relatively high, and wages are paid on time on the last day of every month and are never in arrears, many outsiders have been coming to work in the mines in the village.
Of course, there are also countless migrant workers who choose to leave the village because the workload is too heavy and their bodies cannot bear it.
No one paid attention to these people who came to work in the mine from other places, except Fei Dezhu.
Fei Dezhu, who had nothing to do all day long, had a very bad reputation in the village. The villagers didn't like to talk to him. He also looked down on the people in the village who praised the superior and disdained the inferior. He usually smoked with the migrant workers in the mine. Bragging.
Soon, Fei Dezhu became friends with the non-local workers in these mines. Which worker in the mine had the most beautiful aunt, which worker was still alone, which worker was in debt and had no home. Dezhu knew everything clearly.
People working in the mine are very unstable. Some people were sitting together talking yesterday, but today they have paid their wages and left the mine to go elsewhere.
Fortunately, communication is now convenient. Everyone has a mobile phone. Even if they are thousands of miles away, they can still use WeChat to greet each other.
Of course, they are all ordinary people who have to work hard to make ends meet. We don’t have time to reply to WeChat messages at any time. Some people will chat with Fei Dezhu after work at night. Some people completely talk to Fei Dezhu after leaving the mine. Deok-joo lost contact.
Gradually, Fei Dezhu noticed something was wrong.
Eighty percent of those who have heard nothing from them have one thing in common - they have been away from home for many years and are alone.
Because no one cares about them, let alone pays attention to them, their lives are as light as grass. Even if they disappear in this world, no one will find them.
For some reason, Fei Dezhu instinctively associated this matter with Tao Hongding.
The water in the mine has always been deep, and it is not uncommon for pigs to be killed.
It's just that this kind of thing has always been done by black gangs who tricked people into coming to the mines, and then secretly killed the people and pretended to be mine disasters to blackmail the mine owners. In order to settle the matter, the mine owners would often spend hundreds of thousands with the family members of the deceased pretended by the gang.
But Tao Hongding himself was the mine owner, so why did he kill those foreign workers who had nothing to do with him
With such doubts, Fei Dezhu decided to secretly follow Tao Hongding and find the connection between Tao Hongding and the missing foreign workers.
However, Fei Dezhu really overestimated his abilities. He only followed Tao Hongding for a long time before he was caught by Tao Hongding.
When Tao Hongding fixed his cold gaze on Fei Dezhu and asked him why he was following him, Fei Dezhu felt that he was very close to death.
His legs trembled slightly, and the hands hidden behind his back moved. Those doubts and the justice in his chest disappeared.
Therefore, Fei Dezhu said ambiguously that he suspected that there was an accident in Tao Hongding's mine and wanted to ask Tao Hongding for some pocket money.
