I, my father-in-law, set off a frenzy of public examinations in ancient times

Han Yinchu and Guan Yujun looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes: This is only Yuezhou Prefecture; the situation in Huguang seems to be far more serious than they imagined...

Guan Yujun blinked her eyes, Han Yinchu seemed to have a double image in front of her eyes, she stretched out her hand towards Han Yinchu, and two hands appeared in front of her eyes...

broken!They are on Dongting Lake, which the Luo family regards as their private property! ——

Immediately afterwards, Guan Yujun saw the two Han Yinchus shaking their heads unceasingly, and finally lost consciousness.

***
Guan Yujun was woken up, the sound of heavy footsteps seemed to be on her eardrums, and the sound of "creaking" wooden boards sounded from time to time above her head, the air was turbid and smelly, not only fishy, ​​but also sweaty The smell, the lungs seem to explode;

Even so, bargaining and shouting were still heard, and the bustling crowd seemed to be arguing in her ears.

Guan Yujun really couldn't continue to lie down, so he opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at everything above his head.

At that moment, she thought she was the blind Ziwei in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", why can't she see clearly when her eyes are wide open? !
After blinking his eyes carefully, he saw a few faint rays of light exposed in the cracks of the wooden boards. The dust was like gold powder, shining in the light.

"Cough, cough, cough!—" Unsurprisingly, Guan Yujun couldn't stop coughing because he inhaled a big mouthful of dust.

Only then did she realize that her hands were tied.They were all stunned by the boatman and locked in the bilge, so careless! ——

And her environment is no different from that of a black slave...

Wait, where is Han Yinchu? ! ——

"Master, master!..." Guan Yujun called Han Yinchu softly in the darkness, "I'm here!" Han Yinchu returned towards Guan Yujun who was not far away.

The amount of medicine he took was very small, but he still chose to pretend to pass out with Guan Yujun. Could there be a faster way to enter the "tiger's den" than today?

After being thrown to the bottom of the boat, he simply fell asleep due to the effects of the medicine, and then kept watching Guan Yujun still sleeping soundly like a dead pig.

Guan Yujun moved her buttocks and moved closer to Han Yinchu's direction. In the darkness, her voice sounded a bit muffled: "Master, I'm sorry, I have troubled you..."

Han Yin raised her eyebrows at the beginning: "Why did you say that?! Although I am in an honorable position, I am a strong man. How can you say that a weak man protects a strong man?"

"But you are a thousand-dollar body, I will take you to try the danger..." To say something rebellious is to gamble with the country.

"Hehe~" Han Yinchu could still laugh: "I was the one who dragged you to Huguang, so I should be the one who brought you into danger; if you say I'm in trouble, I'm also in trouble for you..."

Guan Yujun was about to cry when he heard that, the dog emperor is so reasonable!

She sniffled the snot that was about to drip from her nose: "Master, master, we will be escorted out later, you call me 'master'..."

"Huh?!—" Han Yinchu snorted slightly dissatisfied.

"...In this way, they will all come towards me; don't worry, I'm 'more intelligent than a monster', and I will definitely scare them for a while..."

"Hahahaha..." Han Yinchu's shoulders heaved up and down with laughter: "Xiao Guanzi, you are really..."

Before Han Yinchu could finish speaking, the thin wooden boards on their heads were lifted, and the dazzling light shone in. They were all so stabbed that they closed their eyes——

"Come out quickly!—" A man dressed as a laborer grabbed the two of them by their collars and dragged them out from the bottom of the cabin.

"Hey, hey, take it easy, we'll go..." Guan Yujun nearly staggered, and shouted at the worker in dissatisfaction, and was immediately speechless by the scene in front of him.

They are already close to the shore, and there are people coming and going on the pier, and the sound of yelling and cursing can be heard endlessly, but this is by no means related to the fishermen you imagined when you were at the bottom of the bilge, bargaining with the vendors with baskets full of fat fish.

Baskets were transported back and forth, but the baskets were full of gravel. The boat they were on just now was not a fishing boat at all, but a sand mining boat!

More than just one, all the ships they saw were digging sand in this sandbar! ——

"Go down quickly!" The laborer kept pushing Han Yinchu and Guan Yujun to get off the boat, "I don't!..." Before Guan Yujun could protest, she had already stepped into the boat. In the mud.

The clean upper was soaked in black water in an instant, leaving dark green marks around it; Guan Yujun became more silent, the soles of her feet were full of mud, and she couldn't control the black water seeping into the fabric.

Not only that, she and Han Yinchu were pushed and shoved all the way forward, and had to keep paying attention to the potholes under their feet; she didn't want to fall into the mud and pinch a fish that died of thirst or poison.

She looked at the short fence built around her, her brows could not be further frowned, and she exchanged glances with Han Yinchu:

This place "rising water becomes a lake, and receding water becomes an island", if someone circled this place, it must be illegal fish farming and overfishing!Then, after the fish species have been destructively fished and become uncatchable, they must either mine sand or discard it directly! ——

They walked all the way, and their intuition was shocking:

Whenever the south wind blows, the stench of this wharf is unbearable. Some people dump garbage and sewage directly here; some dig ditches for water diversion and drainage; ...

What's even more ridiculous is that a well was dug not far away in order to facilitate the laborers' work and mining? !Instead of taking water directly from the surrounding lake that is within reach; those people also know that what they are doing is a business that will bring disaster to Dongting Lake!
Walking along the outside of the huge short wall, Han Yinchu and Guan Yujun kept seeing some "fresh" scenes:
Some private fishing boats carried baskets of fresh fish, but the people who weighed them could hardly lift the baskets of fresh fish, and the weights hanging behind the steelyard were only halfway up the steelyard.

If you dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction with the methods of "gongsan, gongsi, holding a knife, drawing a knife" on the scale, it will easily lead to beatings, and you will be targeted by the "lake protection team" who are constantly patrolling on the lake, and then you will be hacked. Break the sails, lift the docks, pound the decks... until the ship is smashed to pieces.Therefore, most of the fishermen dare not speak out.

When Guan Yujun turned around and looked around, it was difficult to compare the devastated place where "mud pits and stagnant water" coexist with the Dongting Lake where "sand gulls fly, golden scales swim, banks of Zhitinglan, lush and green".

It turns out that the fishermen here are not only exploited by various "taxes and fees" of "artificial names", but also "forced to buy and sell". After working hard to make a living, they can't even support their families? !
