Bao Feiyang looked at the two children beside Shang Xiaohong. The older one was a girl, she looked eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one was a boy, only six or seven years old. Both of them were very thin. The clothes were hanging on bamboo poles on their bodies, empty; her cheeks were shriveled, her cheekbones were high and protruding, her chin was pointed, her face turned yellow, and her hair drooped sparsely on the top of her head like dead grass.

The girl's eyes were very big, but her eyes were a little dull. The boy hugged in Shang Xiaohong's arms, as if he was very frightened, and his whole body was trembling, making people feel bitter.

"Sister Shang, it seems that your matter is very urgent. Let's talk about the past later and talk about the matter first." Bao Feiyang sighed. It is estimated that what Shang Xiaohong said was related to these two children. He leaned out and said to Wang Taosheng, who was standing in the corridor and didn't know whether to follow or go back first: "Taosheng, ask Ji Xiaoling to bring some snacks that the child likes, and you and Hu Yun also come and listen."

Hu Yun is the deputy captain of the Supervision Squadron. After Han Feiyun left, Bao Feiyang intended to let Wang Taosheng be his deputy, and Hu Yun was responsible for the Supervision Squadron and became his right-hand man in the Supervision Squadron.

Ji Xiaoling is a clerk in the supervision room. She is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She has some relationships in the province and doesn’t care much about her work. She usually does some housework in the office and is fat. She likes to bring snacks to the office to eat. When she heard Bao Feiyang explain the task, she hurried over with some melon seeds, nuts and other snacks.

Bao Feiyang took a bag of melon seeds and handed them to the older girl and said, "Come on, eat some melon seeds."

The girl glanced slowly, and a bright color flashed in her dull gaze. She then looked at Bao Feiyang in horror and shrank backwards.

"Director, let me do it!" Ji Xiaoling took out a few candies from her pocket and said to the two children with a smile: "Little sister, do you like to eat candy? This is a big white rabbit milk candy, it's very sweet."

Hearing Ji Xiaoling's words, the girl finally raised her head again, and Ji Xiaoling continued, "Come on, little sister, can you eat the candy?"

The girl looked up at Shang Xiaohong. Shang Xiaohong quickly comforted her softly, and then the girl nodded tremblingly.

Ji Xiaoling peeled a candy and put it into the girl's mouth. After a while, with Shang Xiaohong's cooperation, she finally coaxed the two children to accept her. She left Shang Xiaohong's arms and stood beside her.

Bao Feiyang asked Ji Xiaoling to take the two children to play, and then asked Wang Taosheng and Hu Yun to sit down. He said to Shang Xiaohong in a heavy mood: "Sister Shang. Just tell me if you have anything. As long as it is reasonable or legal, I will do my best to help you solve it."

"Feiyang..." Shang Xiaohong nodded with gratitude. Bao Feiyang did not say such clichés as "within my authority". In other words, as long as it is reasonable or legal, one of them is satisfied, even if it is not within Bao Feiyang's authority, he will use other relationships and resources to find ways to solve the problem.

Shang Xiaohong calmed down her mood and said in a low voice: "You have also seen that these two children are from my cousin's house. The older one is called Wang Yun, fourteen years old this year, and the younger one is called Wang Feng, and eight years old this year..."

Bao Feiyang couldn't help frowning. Both children were older than he thought, and it was obviously because of their poor development, which made them look very different from the physical appearance of children of the same age.

Shang Xiaohong's tone became more and more desolate: "I took them to the hospital for a visit. The doctor said that their development was obviously slower than normal children. The same is true for intelligence and intelligence, and I can't remember anything."

Bao Feiyang nodded. The development of the two children was late, and they could see it with the naked eye. The expression was also relatively dull, and there might be some problems with their intelligence.

"In addition, their resistance is also relatively poor and they are prone to colds. Every time they catch a cold, they will have fever, cough, and torture to death." Shang Xiaohong said, unable to help but wipe her tears.

Bao Feiyang took out a tissue and handed it over: "Sister Shang, don't be anxious, just talk slowly."

Shang Xiaohong took the tissue and wiped his eyes: "Well, my cousin said that the child has a bad temper, timid, afraid of meeting people, and is easily anxious. He doesn't like playing like normal children. He likes to sleep in and often stays there and doesn't want to move..."

Bao Feiyang took a deep breath: "Sister Shang, what's wrong with them?"

Shang Xiaohong shook his head powerlessly: "I don't know, my cousin's home is in Xigang Village near Changyuan County, Xijing City. Many children in their village are like this. Since a battery factory was built nearby, the people in the village have started to have strange diseases of one kind or another. They said it was blood lead poisoning!"

"I took Wang Yun and the others to the hospital for examination. The blood lead concentration in their bodies reached more than 400 micrograms per liter, which is more than five times the safety value." Shang Xiaohong said, handing over a stack of inspection sheets.

Bao Feiyang flipped through the examination form, mainly blood tests, and many indicators were abnormal, among which the blood lead concentration was marked with key marks, one of which was 443 and the other was 468.

"Bastard!" Bao Feiyang clenched his fists tightly, feeling very heavy. This is the consequence of sacrificing the environment by blindly pursuing development speed. Things like this are definitely not happening in one place.

According to the national diagnostic standards for blood lead, blood lead concentrations below 99 mg per liter are in the normal range. If it reaches or exceeds 100 mg per liter, it is lead poisoning, if it reaches or exceeds 450 mg per liter, it is severe lead poisoning, and 250 to 449 mg per liter are moderate lead poisoning.

According to this standard, one of the two children has moderate lead severe lead poisoning, and the other is even more severe lead poisoning.

According to the standards of developed countries, it is considered relatively safe to have blood lead content of less than 22 mg per liter of children. The blood lead concentration of these two children exceeds this standard for more than 20 times.

Lead has no effect in the human body. The World Health Organization identifies lead as the toxic chemical that has the most severe impact on humans, and its impact is particularly serious for children.

Studies have shown that even if the blood lead concentration is only 25 mg per liter, it will lead to a decrease in children's math and reading performance. The broader impacts include slow learning ability, attention deficits, children's coordination, visual, spatial and language disorders, as well as anemia, dysplasia, etc.

Exceeding blood lead in adults can also cause damage to the nervous system, digestive system, and hematopoietic system. In severe cases, it may even cause damage to the organs and brain damage, coma, or even paralysis.

"Sister Shang, do you think many people in the village have strange diseases?" Bao Feiyang suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to ask. If it was caused by environmental pollution, the victim would not only have two children.

This is also one of the characteristics of environmental pollution. Once the damage is caused, the population in a region will be affected, and the impact is very wide and extremely bad consequences will be caused.

"Yes, it's like having a headache, stomachache, nausea and vomiting for no reason, and two people in the village were diagnosed with uremia this year." Shang Xiaohong said.

Bao Feiyang was shocked. Two uremias occurred in a village in a row. If it was really related to environmental pollution, it would be a very serious situation: "Sister Shang, have you reported this situation to the local government and environmental protection departments?"

Shang Xiaohong nodded: "I have reported that this situation occurs in the village. The villagers are very scared. They have contacted the county, city, and even the provincial environmental protection departments, and have also responded to the county government and municipal government, writing letters, petitions, and blocking roads. They have done it, but it is useless. The government asked us to contact the Environmental Protection Bureau. The Environmental Protection Bureau of the County has presented us with several punishment notices, but it has not worked."

Bao Feiyang smiled helplessly. The situation that Shang Xiaohong said is very common. Environmental protection systems are usually weak in the process of law enforcement. The government is afraid that too strict environmental protection management will affect investment promotion and economic development. The environmental protection departments lack strong law enforcement methods, and punishment decisions are often ignored.

Bao Feiyang looked up at the two children who were with Ji Xiaoling not far away: "Sister Shang, I already know the basic situation. You should take these two children to see a doctor first. Don't be afraid of spending money. How much money is counted as mine."

Shang Xiaohong immediately shook his head: "Feiyang, we don't want your money. We will find a way to treat them. We can solve this problem, but if the battery factory is still there, the children will still be poisoned."

"Feiyang, my sister is here this time to ask you to report to the leaders of the department, let them pay attention to this issue, and instruct relevant departments to deal with it. We don't ask for anything else, we always have a way out, right?"

Bao Feiyang nodded: "Sister Shang, don't worry, I will tell the leader about this matter, but there is no need for other departments. Our inspection office is responsible for environmental supervision. I will handle this matter personally. I promise you that the factory will be rectified as soon as possible. If the environmental protection requirements are not met after the rectification, they will close the door and stop production. This blood poison will never continue to harm the people and the flowers of the motherland."

Bao Feiyang did not hesitate at all and made a promise in front of Shang Xiaohong.

Shang Xiaohong wiped his eyes excitedly: "Feiyang, my sister, thank you on behalf of the villagers of Xigang Village. My sister also knows that this may cause you a lot of trouble, and my sister has no choice. Wang Yun and the others are really miserable-"

Bao Feiyang reached out and patted Shang Xiaohong's back of the hand: "Sister Shang, you don't have to thank me. This is our job. It is because we should feel ashamed. It is because our job was not done well that Wang Yun and Wang Feng and the others were hurt."

He sighed, turned to Wang Taosheng and said, "Taosheng, has the department received a report in this situation in Changyuan County?"

Wang Taosheng and Hu Yun looked at each other, and Wang Taosheng said, "It should be there, but the case hall in this kind of place will usually be called to the Xijing Environmental Protection Bureau. I will go back and check the specific case files."

Bao Feiyang pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, Taosheng, you go and investigate the situation of this case. If you have issued a handling opinion to the Xijing Environmental Protection Bureau before, ask about their handling results. If not, call the relevant situation and prepare another material, I will report it to the corps."
