Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 332 Complete Handover
The candlelight flickered and people were everywhere.

There was deathly silence in the cabin, and the cold light reflected from the iron bars penetrated deep into 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 himself in the light and approached the iron cage, dispelling the darkness inside.

Mossy hay was spread in the corner, and Cheng Chong was lying on it, his back slightly hunched, his hair graying, like an old jackal that had been driven out of its tribe in the wilderness and was wandering hungry, with his eye sockets protruding sharply.

"how old?"

"Fifty-six."

"Very old."

"When I first saw him, he was strong and had black hair. Maybe his Dantian was broken and his heart energy leaked out. He became like this in less than a day."

"Apart from oral testimony, is there any other evidence?"

"Yes." Liang Qu took out an account book from his arms, "I asked the Shahe Gang to submit all the recent records of Cheng Chong's daily life and activities. I took some time to look through it and found that Cheng Chong had bought 26 copies of Water Stone Root Wood on the black market a month ago.

This wood has a tenacious life force. It grows when it encounters stones and swells when it encounters water. Once it passes its twenty-day larval period, it will expand rapidly and can reach hundreds of times its original volume within two days. Apart from this characteristic, there is nothing special about it.

Calculating the time, Cheng Chong must have used this method to destroy the Qiugong Dike and planted seeds inside the dike when the rainstorm came.

We just need to send people to investigate the remaining traces on Qiugong Dike to see if there are any corresponding plant roots in the stones and whether they match the swelling and damage marks, which will be the physical evidence. "

"Where are the people from the Hydrology Institute? What about the Water Statute Monument? Did he destroy it afterwards?"

"These three points are unclear for now. Maybe he is dead, or maybe he is on the run. I suspect that the Water Monument was tampered with early on. It was already cracked on the day of the rainstorm. With the martial arts master's ability, it is not difficult to damage the inside."

After a long silence, Ran Zhongshi sighed.

"Does Wei Shao know about this?"

Liang Qu shook his head: "I don't know for now. I have told the Shahe Gang to keep their mouths shut."

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

Liang Channel said: "Cheng Chong destroyed Qiugong Dike himself. Whether the Shahe Gang is clean or not, and whether they can be treated leniently, all depends on whether they help to arrest Cheng Chong.

But they don’t have the final say on whether they have arrested someone or not. They rely on my oral statement, and I think I am trustworthy in this regard.”

Wei Shao doesn't know the inside story and won't take the initiative to use coercion or inducement.

In other words, the life and death of the entire Shahe Gang depends on Liang Qu alone.

Therefore, at Liang Qu's command, the entire Shahe Gang spared no effort to deploy boats for rescue, which was much more effective than simple deterrence by force.

Xiang Fangsu nodded: "You really know the current situation."

"This is fucked up!" Ke Wenbin scratched his hair until the roots hurt. "Aren't Kaiyun and Yipeng just unlucky? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had an illegitimate child?"

A mistake is a mistake, no one cares how you made it.

When the Qiugong Dike collapsed, not only did the Hebo Office have to take the blame, but Xu Yuelong's group had to take even more blame.

"At least Wei Lin didn't know about it and couldn't use it to make a fuss. Ah Shui bought us a time difference, which is a blessing in disguise."

Ran Zhongshi's eyes were dim, and Cheng Chong was lying motionless in the corner, not looking like someone who was pretending to be asleep.

Liang Qu asked: "What should we do now?"

"Notify the police immediately and report to the court. Have Kaiyun and Yipeng go to Huaiyin Prefecture to confess their crimes first, and then go all the way to Nanzhili to seek leniency.

Calculating the time, the ship is on the way. Wenbin, you should free up two empty ships and return with the people along the original route, take this person there first, and let Brother Yue Long make the decision.

In addition, let the three judicial departments quickly verify the real cause of the dam collapse and retrieve the physical evidence."

The situation was urgent, so Ke Wenbin had no objection and turned around to go out of the cabin to deploy the boats.

Several people returned to the deck.

Several soldiers carried the iron cage onto the official ship of the Hebo Office. In the darkness, it did not attract much 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.

Well, now no matter whether Cheng Chong committed suicide or was murdered, no matter what accident happened, it has nothing to do with him, and the person responsible is transferred to Ke Wenbin.

There were still supplies on the ship that needed to be cleared, so everyone took this opportunity to return to the cabin to study the sand table.

Liang Qu explained the function of the four-color flags and their respective meanings.

Ran Zhongshi leaned forward and asked: "Is the content of the sand table accurate?"

Liang Qu pulled out a few albums from the drawer and said, "The topography is 70% accurate. I made it based on the geomancy map. The disaster situation is 95% accurate. I believe the markings are correct.

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

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

In this way, Liang Qu actually completed most of the three main tasks assigned by Yue Long!

It's incredible. How many days have passed since the dam collapsed?

Apart from the hassle of travel and information transmission, it was a completely bad hand that played to the best effect, recovering the losses to the greatest extent.

When a wise man appears, the red dragon appears.

This situation, combined with Mr. Qiu’s incident, actually looks very realistic!
Ran Zhongshi said hello repeatedly, put away the album, and said with a sharp look: "Brother Yue Long was right about me!"

"It was just luck. Cheng Chong, the leader of the Shahe Gang, committed suicide. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so successful."

Cheng Chong's behavior just happened to bring the entire Shahe Gang and Liangqu together, which provided great help in borrowing boats and arresting people. It is no exaggeration to say that he was lucky.

"Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to us. Have a good rest. We have built a camp near Qiugong Dike. You can go there tomorrow."

Liang Qu did not refuse. Several basic issues had been resolved and he could not help much if he stayed here.

Under the night.

The two ships left one after the other.

The Shahe Gang's fleet led by Old Song merged with the official ships of the Hebo Office and rushed to the next town.

With Ran Zhongshi's help, Liang Qu was finally able to put aside his worries and have a good sleep.

It’s the sixth day since Qiugong Dike burst.

The sky, which had been cloudy for several days, finally cleared up. Thousands of rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting changing light and shadows on the vast Hongze Lake.

at dusk.

Liang Qu felt fully recovered and took a boat back to Qiugong Dike.

The embankment was broken, yellow water was everywhere, and the scene was devastated.

The Blackwater River rushes all the way here, hitting the embankment under the whistling southeast wind, and the splashing water falls like rain.

Ordinary people on the embankment, facing the wind and the force, could hardly stand steadily.

On the open space on the right side of the embankment, there were many white tents, and Yu Dayi and Xu Yuelong were supervising the construction on the remaining embankment.

A large number of stone slabs were transported through Liangqu.

A tooth groove is chiseled on each stone slab, and an iron rivet is cast with pig iron, which is large at both ends and small in the middle. The iron rivet is the same size as the tooth groove.

The craftsmen placed the iron rivets between the tooth grooves and then poured mortar made of glutinous rice juice and lime on them.

In this way, the stone slabs can be firmly bonded together without leaving any gaps, making it completely water-proof and needle-proof. Each iron rivet also has the name of the corresponding builder on it to facilitate accountability.

In fact, there are better materials for building dams, such as lapis lazuli and chalcedony, which are much stronger than ordinary stone bars. As for why they are not used, the reason is very simple - there is no money.

Disaster relief costs money, building dams costs money, and resettling disaster victims costs money.

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