I saw that the originally lush mountains looked dusty due to mining, and the waste residue and rocks were piled up into several wide white ribbons, which was shocking.

On the left side of the pit above, a large forest is covered by waste residue and rocks. On the right side of the pit, a modified four-wheel vehicle transports ore every few minutes, and then the ore is dumped into a storage pit.

This is a new mine that has just been opened. It is like a young beast that has just emerged from the cage, frantically grabbing the blood of the earth.

Ma Ming was furious and asked: "Old Hu, whose mine is this? Is there any certificate?"

"There is a certificate, issued by the county, and it is Xiong Qiang's mine."

"Who is Xiong Qiang?"

"Big boss, member of the county CPPCC." Hu Yingtian nodded. Those who can get into the CPPCC committee are definitely not ordinary people. At least they have the care of the county leaders.

Ma Ming suddenly remembered that Chen Lijuan was molested by Xiong Jun and Xiong Bing while eating at the Ah Xiang Kuey Tiao Tang Restaurant not long ago. Those two gangsters were Xiong Qiang's sons.

Ma Ming asked: "Qiangsheng Mine occupies so much forest land. Are there any forest land acquisition procedures? Has the soil and water conservation plan been inspected? Also, have the environmental protection approval procedures been completed?"

A series of question marks confused Hu Yingtian, but he had always been calm and said with a smile: "Director Ma, please be patient. With Boss Xiong's relationship, it is not difficult to complete these procedures."

"The problem is even more serious when there are formalities to be so blatant." Ma Ming sneered, "Have you reported it to the county before?"

"We can only conduct inspections and urge rectification if we find problems. We have no power to impose penalties."

"I asked you if you reported it?"

"It has been reported." Hu Yingtian said with a smile still, "The superiors came down to inspect, but the investigation results showed that there were no illegal emissions or illegal mining, and there was no destruction of forest land."

Ma Ming cursed in his heart: Are the Forestry Bureau, Land and Resources Bureau and Environmental Protection Bureau blind? This is obviously encroaching on forest land and secretly discharging tailings wastewater. I have never seen such blatant and bold behavior in the Western District.

Ma Ming took out his camera and took pictures and recorded them, but the distance was too far and the situation of wastewater being discharged directly into the river was very unclear. It would be better if he could enter the mining area to take pictures, so he said: "Let's go in and take a look.

!”

Hu Yingtian reminded: "Director Ma, it is difficult to enter the mining area, and you are not allowed to take pictures when you enter."

"This is all evidence and must be recorded!"

Hu Yingtian advised: "Director Ma, the people in the mine are quite rude. They beat up reporters who visited undercover. In the end, they paid some money to settle the matter, but the reporters did not report it."

"Excessive!" Ma Ming said angrily, "I don't believe they even dare to attack township cadres? Today I have to go in to investigate and collect evidence."

Hu Yingtian sighed: "Director Xiao Ma, you are very similar to me when I was young. You hate evil as much as you hate it, and you are strong-willed. Later, after I practiced Mahayana Buddhism and studied the Book of Changes, I understood a lot of truths and I was no longer so serious."

Ma Ming turned his head and glanced at this worldly master. Are he and I from different worlds, or are we from different worlds? Then he said calmly: "Old Hu, use big ships to carry the people to the other side of happiness.

This is the purpose of Mahayana, so-called altruism, salvation of the world, and salvation of all sentient beings. When it comes to work specifically, protecting the ecological environment and safeguarding the interests of the masses is altruism. He is a common person, so of course he must take it seriously."

"Do you understand Buddhism?" Hu Yingtian was shocked. He stared at Ma Ming's brows and felt more and more that this boy had wisdom.

"I studied literature in college and dabbled in Eastern literature (mainly Indian literature), so I know a little bit about it."

Hu Yingtian still wanted to discuss Buddhism with him, but Ma Ming had already walked down the mountain as fast as flying.

Twenty minutes later, the two drove to the gate of Qiangsheng Mining Area.

The retractable gate of the mine is tall and thick, ruthlessly blocking the way forward. There are two security guards guarding the guard box. They look fierce and have electric batons hanging on their waists. When they see a car about to enter, one of the middle-aged security guards walks out of the guard box.

, shouted to the car: "This is a major mining area, no idlers are allowed in, hurry up and leave!"

Hu Yingtian had no choice but to open the car window and shout to him: "Brother, I am Hu Yingtian."

The security guard immediately recognized him, and the fierce look on his face immediately turned into a respectful smile, and said: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Hu, welcome." After saying that, he turned towards the guard box and made a letting go gesture, and retracted the fence.

Just like a turtle encountering a natural enemy, it quickly shrinks in.

Hu Yingtian threw two soft Huazi cigarettes towards the security guard and said with a smile: "Is Boss Xiong here?"

"He's not here, Mr. Xiong is here," the other party replied in a loud voice.

Hu Yingtian waved his hand and drove into the mining area.

"Are you so familiar with them?" Ma Ming asked suspiciously, proving that Hu Yingtian came here often.

Did he really receive the red envelope from the mine?

"I know you. I've been here many times."

"Check or something else?"

"The mine bosses all admire Master Jingyi from Huai'an Temple, and they invite the monk to do rituals several times every year. Before shoveling, they also ask the Taoist priest from the Holding Star Pavilion to look at the terrain. I am familiar with them, and sometimes I help them.

Let’s get in touch.” Hu Yingtian said lightly.

Ma Ming groaned. He thought to himself, it turns out that he is the intermediary between Huai'an Temple, Huoxing Pavilion and the bosses. Every time he coordinates and arranges rituals, Hu Yingtian receives a commission. No wonder he is so rich! Some mine and quarry bosses do not believe in science.

They don’t believe in the government, but they believe in Yin Yang, Feng Shui and Buddhism. They would rather spend money on doing things than invest more in technological innovation and ecological environmental protection.

Although Ma Ming did not agree with Hu Yingtian's approach, he was neither a party member nor a formal employee, so it was really difficult to manage. But he thought again, Hu Banxian still had some skills, and he might be able to compete with the bosses in the future.

Become a surprise soldier.

While talking, Hu Yingtian drove the car to the management area halfway up the mountain, and then stopped in front of the last row of two-story buildings, where several luxury cars were parked.

After getting out of the car, Ma Ming was not in a hurry to enter the house. He looked around and saw no one around. He walked a few dozen meters to the side and came to the edge of the mining area, where he could overlook most of the mine.

I saw that the entire mining area was in a mess. Tailings and soil were piled up indiscriminately, and there was serious waste. The trees were trampled wantonly. The production wastewater was turbid and yellow, with oil-like substances floating on the water. The production technology and equipment felt relatively low-end, and the pit design was too crude.

.

There are two wastewater sedimentation tanks not far away. The white and black-red wastewater form two unrelated streams, which are slowly flowing into the Widow River below. It is like two poisonous snakes traveling side by side piercing the heart of the widow.

She was poisoned and couldn't live in peace.
