At night, Du Yong and his party contacted members of the Seventh Team of the Feng Group in a small town near the county town of Chuanming County.

The deputy captain was named Shao Yuhong. After seeing Cheng Yuan, he was very confused: "Captain, aren't you writing a report in the city? Why did you suddenly come to Chuanming County? Did the boss make other arrangements?"

Cheng Yuan shook his head: "It's not the arrangement of the superior, I just come to see your progress and bring new people by the way."

Then I gave a rough introduction.

It's no problem for everyone to be polite to each other.

Seeing that the team members were very leisurely, Cheng Yuan said curiously: "What's going on in the two counties now?"

Shao Yuhong smiled bitterly: "After the person revealed that the case might be considered a natural disaster, the whole city of Chuanming County was very cooperative and took the initiative to stop providing some records about water quality, strong winds, thunder, etc. Chuanning County was a little chaotic. The fishermen organized several large-scale discussion activities. They meant to ask for silver and money compensation or tax exemption. As long as the money was in place, everything else would be easy to say."

It is understandable to make compensation or exemption, because if fishermen want to go to Zhuangyu Lake to catch fish, they have to pay a large amount of silver every year.

Since fishing in Zhuangyu Lake is a popular business, many fishermen have paid money several years in advance. Now the output of golden swordfish has dropped sharply, and they may not even be able to recover their old capital. It would be strange if they don’t make trouble.

Cheng Yuan asked: "What are the records in Chuanming County?"

Shao Yuhong explained: "Half a year ago, several rivers entering the lake had floods and washed away the mining areas along the coast. So some people said that it may be because of the poisonous water entering the lake that caused a large number of golden swordfish to die. The time is probably correct. However, through multiple water intake testing, we found that there was no problem with the water quality.

**** There have been more than a dozen cases this year, mainly concentrated in the center of the lake. The movement is very strong, it is enough to overturn large fishing boats and roll fish into the sky. There are even strange scenes of thunder and fish blowing, but I don’t think it’s a clue, because this kind of storm has also occurred in previous years. This is how the name Zhuangyu Lake comes from, and it is indeed terrible in a small area, but it’s just a talk to influence the entire lake. After all, there are more than 400 miles."

This remark sounds reasonable.

Zhao Dezhu thought for a while: "The water quality problem may need to be considered. I think so. After poisonous water enters the lake and is absorbed by fish, I get some strange infectious disease. Then because there is living water in the lake, the water quality problem cannot be detected."

"Duwei Zhao is indeed careful." Shao Yuhong nodded and praised, and shook his head: "We have thought about this before, so we caught a lot of dead fish for testing. We also specially hired many experts in this area, but we found that there was no problem with the meat quality and it was fine if we ate it."

"In other words, according to your opinion, it is not a natural disaster, but the reason cannot be found for the time being." Du Yong spoke.

Shao Yuhong nodded.

Du Yong asked: "Have you ever asked the two young people in Chuanming County who saw monsters?"

Shao Yuhong nodded again: "Of course I have asked, but the two young people have become crazy."

Everyone was stunned.

Shao Yu and Hong Surong said: "After they told the monsters, most of them regarded it as a joke. The old man was very angry and believed that such remarks desecrated the lake god of Zhuangyu Lake. With the blessing of the lake god, no monster dared to make trouble. Everyone took them to the lakeside and kneeled for most of the day to confess to the lake god. Not long after, the two young people became crazy, but no one cared. They all said that it was a punishment that was only for offending the lake god.

The county also cooperated with the notice, believing that the two of them were confusing the public. If they had similar remarks, they would definitely be arrested in prison. The notice also called on the villagers not to believe rumors or even make trouble with the trend.

When we went there, the two men seemed like fools, drooling and couldn't speak clearly. Their families hired a very experienced doctor, but they couldn't find out the reason."

Zhao Dezhu murmured: "This matter sounds very strange. It seems that someone is deliberately blocking their mouths. Anyway, I don't believe the Lake God's punishment."

Shao Yuhong sighed: "Of course we have some doubts, but it is indeed difficult to investigate this aspect. When we ask the villagers, we deserve the answers we get."

Zhao Dezhuo smiled and said, "Since you believe in the lake god so much, why don't those fishermen reflect on whether they offended the lake god in normal times? After something happened, they were quite active in asking for compensation. Isn't it good to take a few to feed the lake god? Maybe there will be more golden sword fish tomorrow."

Shao Yuhong laughed in silence: "In their eyes, these are two things, and they should not be confused."

Zhao Dezhu was very disdainful of this statement.

Du Yong smiled and said, "After all, it's related to the money bag, and it's still a big deal."

Cheng Yuan frowned: "Are there any other doubts?"

Shao Yuhong Zheng pointed out: "First, most of the dead fish are golden sword fish, and few others are. Second, some of the dead fish die because of broken internal organs."

Du Yong frowned: "Are there many fish that died because of the shattered internal organs?"

Shao Yuhong shook his head: "The ones we have caught are two or three hundred."

Zhao Dezhu patted his thigh: "That's not a lot, isn't this a clue?"

Shao Yuhong spread his hands: "It's useless. The reason cannot be found. The golden swordfish is very energetic. It is indeed a stone hit and killed, but it does not make the internal organs smashed."

Everyone suddenly lost their words and touched their heads, as if they could come up with something, but they couldn't tell them specifically.

Yang Jin said in a deep voice: "The outside is intact, the internal organs are broken, and it sounds like they were beaten out by a master."

Experts can indeed shatter internal organs from the air.

But who is so bored?

Such a big lake, you have to hide it from the fishermen's eyes and ears. How much patience does it take?

There is still a problem of time. So many fish die every day, even if you add up the masters in Qianzhou, it is probably not enough.

Shao Yuhong looked at Cheng Yuan and smiled bitterly: "We can't think of any good idea. In my opinion, the Ministry of Revenue will provide compensation and it's good to close the case in a daze."

Cheng Yuan sighed: "Of course I have no objection to the case to be closed like this, but I am afraid that this will be the case in the future. At that time, as the main investigation team of this case, we will have to bear some responsibility."

After saying that, he looked at Du Yong and Zhao Dezhu.

Du Yong thought for a while and expressed his opinion: "What the captain said is reasonable, not to mention the issue of responsibility. If this continues, it is not a problem to end with compensation. In recent years, the conflict between Dayan and Mengji has become more and more intense. It is necessary to spend a lot of money on the battlefield every day. The Ministry of Revenue is probably very difficult. In my opinion, the report first states that the lake god, water quality, and storm can be mentioned, but the two young people's exploration is still very necessary."

Zhao Dejushen agreed. He asked him that the Ministry of Revenue has been in a tight position in recent years. Last year, it relied on Shaofu Temple to support it several times. Shaofu Temple can provide the royal family's money bag, so how can it always support the Ministry of Revenue?

Cheng Yuan looked at Shao Yuhong again.

What else could Shao Yuhong say? He had to say, "The captain is right."

Cheng Yuan made a decision: "Then we will investigate tomorrow. Also, when we were on the road, we were assassinated by more than a dozen men in black. Yu Hong, you will send someone to communicate with the Chuanming County Government Office tomorrow and ask them to send someone back to the city."

"Assassinated on the road?" Shao Yuhong and others widened their eyes.

Cheng Yuansui explained a little bit.

After hearing this, Shao Yuhong and others did not ask in detail. They all thought it was Meng Ji's killer who caused trouble. They cursed and scolded Meng Ji's ambitions and courage.

Nothing happened at night.

The next morning, Shao Yuhong first ordered his brothers to go to the county government office of Chuanming County, and then went to the shop on the street to buy some gifts, and took the rest of the people to the next town, which was only a few miles away from Zhuangyu Lake.

The town is not big, but there are many people. They look very busy, most of them engaged in fishing.

Zhuangyu Lake does not have a long-term fishing moratorium, and only picks a few days a month to stop fishing. There are also restrictions on the number of fishing boats, mesh, fishing points, etc., which has been the case for many years.

Except for the past six months, there has been no problem of fish exhaustion in the past, because fishing is quite difficult, and most fish are hidden very deeply. It is impossible to have a good harvest every day, even the most experienced fishermen can't do it.

The two young men who saw the monster lived in this town, and they were neighbors.

When Du Yong and his gang went over, they attracted a lot of attention.

A brave boy stepped forward and asked, "Do you guys, are you here to investigate the affairs of Erniu Brother and Heizi Brother?"

Shao Yuhong nodded: "Are they at home?"

The boy hurriedly replied: "Everyone is there, but the condition has become worse. He doesn't sleep much at night, sways everywhere, and sometimes bites people. There is no way for them at home, so he can only tie them up."

Shao Yuhong thanked the boy and took everyone to Erniu's house at the end of the street.

Before I entered the door, I heard the sound of an elderly woman cursing from inside.

"I let you talk nonsense and offend the Lake God, and the whole family will be shamed!"

"Sit down and drink this bowl of porridge. After drinking it, worship the lake god and say you won't talk nonsense again in the future."

After everyone walked in, they saw a haggard elderly woman holding a bowl of porridge and feeding a young man with a small spoon. However, the young man was very uncooperative, dancing and muttering words.

This is Erniu and his mother.

After hearing the movement, Erniu's mother stood up, looked at Shao Yuhong, and trembled, "My man, you guys?"

Shao Yuhong put down the gift and helped her: "Don't be nervous, auntie, we're just here to see Erniu."

Erniu's mother looked at the precious gifts, then looked at the expressions of everyone not asking for guilt, and then felt relieved: "Thank you all, Erniu is still the same, but this kid deserves it!"
