"Cousin, think about it, where have you seen it?"

Huo Yijun had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but he didn't expect that this trip would be really rewarding in the boat company.

Huo Yihuan scratched his head, frowned and stared at the painting, and only after a long time did he speak: "I remember, these two people are also fishermen, they have worked as laborers in the boat industry, they are very young, they work neatly, and they are very popular with these old people." ”

"Are you sure they're all fishermen?"

"yes, I'm sure."

After Huo Yijun heard this answer, he threw a look at Chen Changsheng. The two looked at each other and handed out all the remaining portraits in their hands.

With the help of the guys at the boat line, many people recognized the person in the portrait. But the conclusion is the same as Huo Yihuan. The people who say these portraits are fishermen. All from a village.

Huo Yihuan thought of something again, and came over and added: "I remember that they are all fishermen living in Jinghe Bay, these young people, it stands to reason that they would not get on the boat and go to sea so early, and so many people disappeared at once, and no one came to report to the official." Something is very wrong. ”

"Something is really wrong."

Chen Changsheng's tone was solemn and serious: "Where did I get these fifty portraits randomly?" If they are all fishermen, can it be inferred that the rest of them may also be fishermen? ”

"That's what I told you before. You can follow the vine and touch the melon survey. ”

Chen Changsheng nodded.

After getting the news from the boat company, he and Chen Changsheng set sail again and took a boat to Jinghe Bay.

Jinghe Bay is a bay in the upper reaches of Jinghe River, semi-circular, facing the road on three sides, facing the sea on one side, which is the only way for fishermen to travel, and it is also the road for merchant ships on the upstream and downstream wharves to pass.

The City Shipping Division and the Cao Transportation Division often neglect to manage here when they are busy, so Jinghe has not been peaceful.

"Drive!!"

Huo Yijun and Chen Changsheng rode their horses all the way to Jinghe Bay.

On the way, he once asked Chen Changsheng about Jinghewan: "How much do adults know about this place?" Do you know how big the population is? ”

"I have already investigated the Jinghewan Village when the Jinghe floating corpse case occurred before, there are more than 900 families here, they make a living by fishing and farming, but the village chief and Li Zheng here are all young people in their thirties, they were once wounded and retired from the battlefield, and their martial arts are good, and they have also taught a group of young people to set up village soldiers for self-defense."

Huo Yijun asked again: "These people from Jinghe Village, have they always lived here or moved here?" ”

"Moved to this place, five years ago, there was a locust plague in the southeast region, and the people had no harvest, so there were people fleeing from all over the country to come to Yingdu City."

"At that time, it coincided with the internal and foreign wars in Daye, the treasury was empty, and the riots of the victims were approaching the capital, and it was His Royal Highness King An who sent a letter to the emperor to ask the people of the household department to place these victims in Jinghewan, and the wounded soldiers of King An's Mansion were recuperated here."

"In this way, the victims and the wounded soldiers have taken root and lived together here, and the current village chief is also a member of King An's Mansion, and he is a hundred households Feng Hei who has a broken arm."

Huo Yijun rode his horse and slowly stopped.

"Huh-" She looked ahead and found the monument in Jinghe Village.

It is like a paradise here, with beautiful mountains and rivers, birds and flowers.

On the seaside, there are women weaving fishing nets, washing clothes, and laughter and laughter come one after another.

Until they found out that Kiyoshoji's people had arrived.

"Who are you?" An old woman approached and asked.

Chen Changsheng showed his waist card: "Old man, we are the people of King An's Mansion and Qingzheng Division, and we came to ask you about something and recognize someone." ”

"People from King An's Mansion, come and sit."

When the old woman learned of their identity, she was very enthusiastic, invited them to sit by the river, and offered some fruit.

"What do you want to ask, who are you looking for?"

Chen Changsheng gave her the portrait, and the old woman called some women who were working on the street to come and identify them.

The women were still smiling until they saw the man in the portrait, and their faces were heavy and they were gradually sad.

Some people even hid their faces and wept bitterly after taking a look.

Huo Yijun didn't know why, and he was very confused.

But at the same time, judging from their performance, it should be the right time to come to Jinghe Village to find them to identify the corpses.

"Sisters-in-law, do you know the person in the portrait?"

One of the women wiped away her tears and said firmly, "The people in the portrait are our husbands. ”

"We knew they were going to leave and thought it would end like this, but I'm so proud of them, they're heroes to all of us!"

Speaking of this, the mention of "hero" made Huo Yijun feel very surprised.

Why are some fishermen called heroes?

"Grandma, can you tell us more about it? We want to know why your men are all out? Do you know what they're going to do when they're leaving? ”

The old woman said earnestly: "Of course we know what they are going to do, and we know that it is a point of no return, and we do not stop them. ”

"Maybe this is the last thing we can do to repay King An."
