The candles are flickering, and the figures are longing.

There was a dead silence in the cabin, and the cold light from the iron bars penetrated the bottom of my heart.

Ran Zhongshi frowned, he really didn't expect Liang Qu to bring them such explosive bad news.

"Give me the candle."

Liang Qu handed over the candlestick.

Ran Zhongshi wrapped the light and approached the iron cage to dispel the darkness in the cage.

The mossy hay was spread in the corner, and Cheng Chong lay on it, slightly hunched back, gray hair, like an old jackal who had been driven out of the group in the wilderness, hungry and wandering, and his eye sockets were sharply exposed.

"How old?"

"Six out of fifty."

"It's very old."

"When I first saw him, he was sturdy, his hair was black, maybe he broke the dantian, his heart leaked, and he became like this in less than a day."

"Is there any evidence other than dictation?"

"Yes." Liang Qu took out a ledger from his arms, "I asked the Shahe Gang to submit all the recent living records and activities of Cheng Chong, and took the time to flip through them, and found that Cheng Chong had gone to the black market to buy twenty-six copies of water and stone roots a month ago.

This wood is tenacious, it is born when it encounters stones, it swells when it encounters water, and once it passes the juvenile period of 20 days, it will expand rapidly, and it can reach hundreds of times the original volume in two days, except for this characteristic, there is no special feature.

Calculating the time, Cheng Chongdang used this method to collapse the Qiu Gong Dike and plant it inside the embankment when the rainstorm came.

We only need to send someone to probe the remnants of the Qiu Gong embankment to see if there are corresponding plant rhizomes in the stones, and whether they are consistent with the signs of swelling, that is, physical evidence. ”

"What about the people in the hydrological institute? What's going on with the Water Monument? Did he sabotage it afterwards? ”

"These three points are not clear for the time being, maybe it is dead, maybe it is the fear of crime and absconding, I suspect that Shui Zebei has also been passive in the morning, and the interior has been cracked on the day of the rainstorm, with the ability of a martial artist, it is not difficult to damage the interior by fighting cattle across the mountain."

After being silent for a long time, Ran Zhongshi sighed.

"Does Wei Shao know over there?"

Liang Qu shook his head: "I don't know for the time being, I told the Shahe Gang to keep their mouths shut." ”

Xiang Fangsu asked, "Can you trust the promise of the Shahe Gang?" ”

Liang channel: "Cheng Chong self-destructed Qiu Gong Dike, whether the Shahe Gang is clean or not, and whether they can be lenient depends on whether they help arrest Cheng Chong."

But it doesn't matter if they catch what they say or not, it depends on my dictation and qualitativeness, and I think it's trustworthy in this regard. ”

Wei Shao doesn't know the inside story, and he won't take the initiative to coerce and entic.

In other words, the life and death of the entire Shahe Gang are all in the hands of Liang Qu alone.

Therefore, under Liang Qu's order, the entire Shahe Gang spared no effort to deploy boats to rescue, which was much better than the deterrence effect of force alone.

Xiang Fangsu nodded: "I know the current affairs." ”

"It's fucking up!" Ke Wenbin scratched his hair and pulled it out in pain, "Kaiyun and Yi Peng are not pure unlucky? There are illegitimate children, don't you fucking say it sooner? ”

Mistakes are mistakes, and who cares how you make them.

The Qiugong embankment collapsed, and the river berth not only had to carry the pot, but Xu Yuelong's family had to carry the cauldron.

"At least Wei Lin doesn't know, he can't use it to make a fuss, Ah Shui has won us a time difference, a blessing in misfortune."

Ran Zhongshi's eyes were gloomy, and Cheng Chong was lying motionless in the corner, not like a person who was pretending to sleep.

Liang Qu asked, "What now?" ”

"Immediately notify the withdrawal, report to the imperial court, and let Kaiyun and Yi Peng go to Huaiyin Mansion to confess their guilt first, and then go all the way to Nanzhili to strive for leniency.

Calculate the time, the boat is on the way, Wen Bin, you take two empty boats out, return the same way with the person, take this person over first, and let Brother Yue Long decide.

In addition, let the people of the Three Law Divisions verify the real cause of the dam collapse as soon as possible and extract the physical evidence. ”

The matter was urgent, Ke Wenbin had no objection, and turned around and went out of the cabin to deploy the ship.

Several people returned to the deck.

Several military men carried the iron cage onto the official boat of the river mooring, and the night was shrouded, which did not attract too many people's attention.

After the handover, Liang Qu saw Cheng Chong being sent into the cabin with his own eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Well, no matter whether Cheng Chong committed suicide or he killed him, any accident had nothing to do with him, and the responsible person was transferred to Ke Wenbin.

There were still supplies on the ship that needed to be emptied, and everyone took advantage of this time to return to the cabin to study the sand table.

Liang Qu explained the role of the four-color flag, which represents the meaning.

Ran Zhongshi leaned over: "Is the content of the sand table accurate?" ”

Liang Qu took out a few albums from a drawer: "The terrain has a 70% accuracy, I made it based on the Kanyu map, and the disaster situation is 90% accurate, and I think the mark is correct."

In addition, according to the location of each relief point, the distribution trend of the disaster area, the scale of ship transportation, the terrain and river, I planned several suitable disaster relief routes, so as to save manpower and material resources and improve efficiency as much as possible. ”

The three of them took the album and flipped through it, becoming more and more frightened.

In this way, the three main tasks assigned by Yue Long were all completed by Liang Qu!

Inconceivably, how many days have it taken to break the embankment to this day?

Removing the rush and information transmission, it is completely a bad hand to play the best effect, and the loss is recovered to a great extent.

The sage is out, and the red dragon is now.

This situation and this scene are combined with Qiu Gong's matter, and it really looks like it!

Ran Zhongshi said hello again and again, put away the album, and his eyes were blazing: "Brother Yue Long didn't see the wrong person!" ”

"As luck would have it, it just so happened that Cheng Chong, the leader of the Shahe Gang, was self-isolated, otherwise I wouldn't have been so smooth."

Cheng Chong's behavior happened to bring the entire Shahe Gang and Liang Qu together, providing great help for borrowing boats and arresting people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that luck is good.

"Thank you for your hard work, leave the rest to us, have a good rest, we have built a camp near Qiugong Causeway, you can go there tomorrow."

Liang Qu didn't shirk, several basic events were all resolved, and he couldn't help too much by staying here.

At night.

The two ships left front and back.

The fleet of the Shahe Gang led by Lao Song Tou merged with the official ships of the river berth and rushed to the next township.

With Ran Zhongshi's help, Liang Qu was finally able to let go of his worries and sleep well.

The sixth day of the collapse of the Qiu Gong Dike.

The sky was completely cloudy for several days, and the ten thousand rays of sunlight pierced the clouds, casting changing light and shadow on the vast Hongze.

In the evening.

Liang Qu was full of energy and took a boat back to Qiugong Embankment.

The embankment is broken, and the yellow water is everywhere, and the eyes are full of devastation.

The Heishui River rushes all the way here, beating the embankment under the encouragement of the howling southeast wind, and the splashing water rains down.

Ordinary people are on the embankment, against the wind and against the trend, almost unstable.

In the open space on the right side of the embankment, there are many white tents, and Yu Dayi and Xu Yuelong are presiding over the construction of the remnant embankment.

A large number of stones were transported from the side of the Liang Canal.

A tooth groove is chiseled out of each stone, and pig iron is cast into two large ends and a small iron shovel in the middle, and the iron curium is the same size as the tooth groove.

The artisan places the iron shovel between the tooth grooves and pours a mortar made from glutinous rice juice and lime.

In this way, the stone and the stone can be firmly bonded together, leaving no gaps, completely achieving the effect that water can not be splashed in, and the needle can not be inserted, and each piece of iron shovel has the name of the corresponding builder to facilitate accountability.

In fact, there are better materials for building embankments, such as lapis lazuli and yellow stone, which are far stronger than ordinary stone strips, and as for why they are not used, the reason is simple - there is no money.

Money is needed for disaster relief, money is needed to repair dams, and money is needed to resettle victims.

With the current situation in Huazhu County, it is quite good to be able to raise money to build a dam.
