Zhang Yaoyang found his way from the shore to the shore, and followed the coal remains until he came to a small mining hole.

Someone is digging and trampling on this place privately.

Such small coal mines are prone to accidents.

However, no one is in charge of such existence for the time being.

In this era, there is no crime of illegal mining. As long as there are no accidents, how much money you make depends on your personal ability.

Therefore, this also led to these people becoming so bold that they actually set their sights on this coal mine.

Country people naturally don't need this kind of fuel.

They are more accustomed to going up the mountain to chop firewood, which is free.

But it’s different for people in the city. They would freeze to death without coal.

It's freezing cold right now and the price of coal is rising steadily, so there's no need to worry about not being able to sell it.

This made these people dizzy.

Zhang Yaoyang appeared here alone, and before he had time to find the person in charge, he found that several dark-skinned people had surrounded him.

"Who are you? What do you want to do here?"

The man in the lead looked quite fierce, with a face full of flesh.

Zhang Yaoyang suppressed his surprise and said to the man, "I am Zhang Yaoyang, the village chief of Zhaojia Village. Most of the time, people in our village use the water from the river for production and life."

"Someone recently discovered that the water was black and suspected that it was poisoned, so they came here."

The man smiled coldly: "Now I can see clearly that no one poisoned us. This matter has nothing to do with us."

Zhang Yaoyang said patiently, "But the water is black because you mined illegally. If there was no coal, the water wouldn't be black at all."

"Bullshit! Even if I hadn't come here to dig coal, someone else would have come here to dig. If you want to blame someone, blame the coal. It just happened to appear by the river. You can't blame anyone else."

At this point, the man's temper gradually flared up, and he said to Zhang Yaoyang very rudely: "Look, you are also the head of the village, I'll give you some face, and get out of here quickly!"

"Otherwise, if you make me angry, I will arrest you and make you work as a coal miner, and you will suffer the consequences."

After hearing these words, this person was really moved.

After all, Zhang Yaoyang looks like a guy with a great physique.

If there were such people working, wouldn't his output increase rapidly?

Moreover, for people who were forced to come here, he didn't need to pay them wages. He just needed to ensure that they had three meals a day and didn't starve to death.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

It seems that this matter cannot be resolved peacefully today.

Zhang Yaoyang made up his mind and decided to turn the passive situation into active one.

"Hey...don't be too harsh on others. God is watching you. If you don't want to be punished, please stop harming others."

Zhang Yaoyang's words were like a battle clarion call.

"You bastard, you dare to teach me how to do things on my territory? Who the hell gives you the face?"

The man waved his hand and said angrily: "Detain him!"

"Hmph, you want to detain me? You have to ask me if I agree!" Zhang Yaoyang said with a firm look in his eyes. At the same time, he squatted slightly and took a defensive posture, ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.

The people who surrounded him were stunned at first when they saw Zhang Yaoyang's actions, and then they burst into laughter. "You kid, you still want to resist? Don't you see your current situation?"

The man with a ferocious face who was in the lead said this with disdain, and at the same time winked at the people around him, signaling them to take action together.

Several people immediately rushed towards Zhang Yaoyang. Zhang Yaoyang seized the opportunity, suddenly pulled out his dagger, and slashed at the person in front.

The man was unable to dodge and got a cut on his arm. He cried out in pain and took a few steps back.

This made the others a little afraid. They didn't expect Zhang Yaoyang to dare to fight back, and to do it so decisively.

But after all, they were numerous and powerful, so they quickly adjusted their status and surrounded Zhang Yaoyang again.

Zhang Yaoyang knew that he couldn't continue fighting, he had to find a way to get out as soon as possible.

So, he found an opening and rushed towards the thinner part of the crowd. With his agile figure, he broke through the encirclement of several people in one go and ran out.

Those people were not willing to give up and kept chasing after him.

This area is really remote, and I didn't see a single person after running for a long time.

The pursuers kept chasing him and refused to let him go.

Just as he was thinking about which direction to run, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appear in front of him.

It turned out to be Chen Ergou. He was worried about Zhang Yaoyang coming here alone, so he brought his men and followed him quietly.

"Yaoyang, over here!" Chen Ergou shouted loudly.

Zhang Yaoyang was delighted and quickly ran towards Chen Ergou and the others.

After the two met up, Chen Ergou saw the people chasing him from behind, picked up a thick wooden stick from the ground, and said, "Bah, even this kind of bastard wants to fight, we are not afraid of him!"

With the support of Chen Ergou and a dozen other people, Zhang Yaoyang did not run away. He clenched the short blade in his hand and stared at the pursuers.

When those people saw the large number of people led by Chen Ergou, they did not dare to move forward rashly, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

"You guys who are engaging in illegal mining will be punished sooner or later!" Zhang Yaoyang said coldly.

"Hmph, stop trying to scare people. I'll spare your life today, but don't let us see you again next time!"

The leading man said viciously, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes. After all, they didn't want to make too big a fuss.

Just then, there was a sudden burst of noisy footsteps and shouts from a distance.

It turned out that some other young and middle-aged people in the village heard the noise here and rushed over.

When those illegal miners saw so many people coming, they panicked, turned around and ran, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Zhang Yaoyang breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that although he had temporarily scared these people away, the problem had not been fundamentally solved.

He had to organize the villagers to seal the illegal mining hole as soon as possible, and at the same time find a way to make these people receive due punishment to prevent future troubles...

I didn’t expect something like this to happen during the Chinese New Year. It’s really worrying.

Everyone returned to Zhenjia Village dejectedly and held an emergency meeting.

The final result is that you have to wait.

Let’s talk about it after the Chinese New Year.

Fortunately, the factory is closed these days.

If a food factory, tea factory, or leather factory used such water sources for production, it is not known how much damage would be caused.

Although he knew that this matter could not be rushed, Zhang Yaoyang still specially sent several people to check the information of the coal mine owner.

If there was a system, this kind of thing could be solved on the spot. Now we can only rely on manpower. Sigh... it's troublesome!
