Chapter 2166 Are You Qualified?

Liu Fusheng said: "It was cold and the road was slippery, so it was normal for Secretary Tang to fall."

Yang Shan curled his lips and said, "How could it be a natural fall? Even a blind man could see that he was acting. He fell pretty badly and was covered in mud. But who would fall on flat ground? He's not a Parkinson's patient. Not to mention that after the fall, he lay there for a long time, and no one even came to help him. Just a bunch of reporters were taking pictures. It was clearly a staged photo."

"I estimate that tomorrow's newspapers and the Internet will have reports that the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee went to the mine disaster site in person, disregarded his own safety, directed the rescue work, and even fell down several times."

Liu Fusheng smiled slightly: "It's good that he rescued in time, and saved a few lives. It's okay to put on a show. What's the situation at the mine now?"

Yang Shan sighed, "This mining accident is very serious. All the mines have been sealed off. We don't know if the people below are alive or dead. Rescue workers have detected several times but have not found any signs of life. The mine owner Zeng Yunfei and the relevant responsible persons have been detained by the police."

Liu Fusheng frowned and said, "You mean, we haven't rescued anyone since the mine disaster happened?"

Yang Shan nodded and said, "Yes, only some miners who did not go down to work in the mine were lucky enough to escape, and none of the other miners in the mine were rescued."

A hint of anger appeared in Liu Fusheng's eyes.

On the way back to eastern Guangdong, he had figured out Tang Shaoying's conspiracy, but he still didn't understand why Tang Shaoying was so cruel and hurt so many innocent miners.

Put yourself in his shoes. If you think about it from another perspective, if you were Tang Shaoying, you would definitely rush to the scene as soon as possible, organize a large number of people, and quickly rescue the trapped miners. You might even create a report that this was a major disaster that was handled very properly with zero casualties in order to gain fame for yourself.

However, Tang Shaoying did not choose to save them. Instead, he watched helplessly as these poor miners became corpses filling the ditches on his way to climb up. This is fucking worse than animals.

Liu Fusheng took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "What does the rescue team have to say?"

Yang Shan said: "The rescuers said that the landslide was so serious that all the passages were tightly blocked. Now they dare not use force for fear of causing a second landslide, which would cause the survivors in the well to lose their chance of survival."

"What was the cause of the landslide?" Liu Fusheng asked.

Yang Shan said: "The specific cause is still under analysis. There are several possibilities at present. One is that underground natural gas or flammable and explosive gas was ignited, and the chain reaction caused the landslide. Another possibility is that the mine was over-exploited and the structure was unstable. In addition, during the construction work, someone violated the regulations, which caused the ore body structure to be suddenly destroyed, and then the landslide occurred."

"At present, all possibilities have not been determined. Tang Shaoying's instructions are that the first priority now is to save people, and other matters can be dealt with after the accident is handled."

There is nothing wrong with this statement. After all, the first priority at any disaster scene is to save lives.

Liu Fusheng asked, "Has Xie Zehua arrived?"

Yang Shan pointed to the brightly lit area ahead and said, "We're here. In the temporary headquarters that has just been set up over there, Xie Zehua was in charge of mobilizing supplies for the troops and has just returned. Tang Shaoying and a series of leading cadres from Haizhou City and Mingguang City are also in the headquarters."

Liu Fusheng looked at the endless stream of people at the command center and frowned, saying, "Do we need so many leaders at the disaster relief site?"

Yang Shan said helplessly, "There is nothing we can do. Tang Shaoying, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, has come here in person to take charge. He also said that he will not leave until all the miners are rescued. Who among the other local officials dares to leave first? Do you still want to stay in this small piece of land in eastern Guangdong?"

Liu Fusheng shook his head, then strode to the entrance of the rescue command department.

Just as Yang Shan said, this place was full of provincial and municipal leading cadres, so naturally some people recognized Liu Fusheng.

The man was slightly startled, and then immediately asked: "Secretary Liu? Why are you here?"

Liu Fusheng said: "I just returned to Chaojiang. When I heard about this incident, I came to see if there is anything I can do to help. Chaojiang is very close to the accident site, so it is convenient to mobilize manpower and material resources to come for rescue."

Everyone nodded and praised Liu Fusheng's behavior.

Liu Fusheng was not in the mood for greeting. After a few brief words, he walked into the headquarters of the rescue operation.

This is a makeshift prefabricated house with messy furnishings, obviously pieced together.

Tang Shaoying was sitting behind his desk drinking hot water. When he saw Liu Fusheng, he stood up and said with a smile, "Secretary Liu, why are you here? Aren't you in Yanjing, participating in the overall planning of the food defense war?"

Liu Fusheng said: "The food war is over. We have achieved complete success in our mission to protect domestic food prices."

Tang Shaoying slapped his forehead, sighed and said, "I haven't heard of this news. Alas, it's been a turbulent time in eastern Guangdong recently. For example, this mining disaster came suddenly and seriously threatened the safety of life and property of the country and the people. It's really a difficult situation."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Secretary Tang cares about the people and performs his duties conscientiously. This is admirable. I heard that you arrived at the mine disaster site as soon as possible and have not eaten a single bite of food since you started working... Your health is the capital of revolution, so don't overwork yourself."

After a pause, Liu Fusheng said, "Secretary Tang just needs to control the general direction of disaster relief. It will be more efficient to leave the specific matters to the relevant personnel. After all, the province also has a lot of work waiting for you to handle."

"This..." Tang Shaoying was slightly stunned. No one dared to talk to him like this in person, or even if they did, it was just a polite remark.

But he knew very well that Liu Fusheng had a particularly vicious tongue and never gave in to others. In the past, at the work meetings of the provincial government, he had dared to contradict Tang Shaoying in public many times, let alone at this time?

If I was even slightly careless in my answer, I was afraid that Liu Fusheng would take advantage of me and even humiliate me.

When Tang Shaoying was thinking about how to reply, someone beside him suddenly said with a smile: "This is Secretary Liu from Chaojiang, right? You just returned to East Guangdong and immediately ran to the mine disaster site. Don't you care more about the people? I think Secretary Liu should go back to rest first, even if he needs to rest. After all, this is the jurisdiction of Haizhou City. Secretary Liu, just showing up is a gesture of kindness, and that's enough. Haizhou will definitely be grateful to you."

Liu Fusheng turned his eyes and saw Wang Kecheng standing next to Tang Shaoying.

Wang Kecheng's words were just right. Not only did they help Tang Shaoying out of trouble, but they also turned the tables on Liu Fusheng.

His meaning was very clear. Tang Shaoying is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. He cares about the people of the province and all the accidents that happen in the province. This is natural. You, Liu Fusheng, are not an official of Mingguang City, and you don't even have anything to do with the entire Haizhou. You are the secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee. You come here to take advantage of the popularity, and you want to make big statements. Are you qualified?
