Chapter 29 Black Terror (3)
Ning Zezheng took a look at the water sample, and a label read: It was taken from the wharf of Hedong Village in the lower reaches of the Qingyang River.The following is the specific time to fetch water.One label reads: Taken from a 20-meter deep pressure well at the entrance of Hedong Village.

Both water samples looked clear and transparent.

Preliminary testing by the rapid water quality monitor shows that the water quality of the river has reached the third-class water standard, and the well water has been classified as the second-class water.

It fits the bill perfectly.

Peng Mingyang laughed and said, "I have long said that the gangsters in the downstream are falsely accusing us. How can such a good water quality be called black water and stinky water? You can see how clear and clean the water is. I can see it directly. The standard of drinking is not far away." Picking up the bottle of well water and taking a sip, he smacked his lips and said, "Well, it's like pure water, with a slight sweet taste."

Ning Zezheng glanced at him, and said with a sullen face, "It's fine if there is no problem. If there is a problem, I will not forgive you. Xiao Shen, take out the "On-Site Inspection Record Form" and fill it out."

Next, at the invitation of Deputy Mayor Zhao Yihai, the group went to the Environmental Protection Bureau of Qingyang City, and it was already eleven o'clock when they came out.

Ning Zezheng and the others were about to leave Qingyang City by car, when Zhao Yihai stopped them and said, "You guys have worked hard, we have already prepared lunch at the Xiyunlai Hotel, and I will invite you all to eat this lunch before leaving. .”

Ning Zezheng couldn't express his opinion, so he turned his attention to Weixinghua.Deputy Director Wei laughed: "Go, go, Qingyang City has a lot of money, and they can't afford a meal."

The group drove to the Xiyunlai Hotel again. In Room 818, a large table was crowded with people.

Because the business has been done, both the host and guest breathed a sigh of relief, the atmosphere on the table seemed relaxed and warm, even Ning Zezheng, who doesn't drink much on weekdays, couldn't resist Zhao Yihai's persuasion, so he even drank a few glasses.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone felt a little bit drunk.

Peng Mingyang suddenly patted the table and shouted: "Waiter, waiter."

"Here we come." A girl of eighteen or nineteen hurriedly ran in.

Peng Mingyang held up the empty wine bottle in his hand and said: "This, this wine is not authentic. The leaders of the provincial department are here today. You have to bring me the best wine in your hotel, otherwise I will tell your manager. Fire you."

"Yes, yes, I'll bring it right away." The waiter was a little anxious, and after running out for a while, he brought a bottle of wine into the room.

When Peng Mingyang saw that it was Moutai, he nodded and said, smelling of alcohol, "This, this is almost the same, fill it up, fill it all up for me."

The waitress uncapped the bottles and poured everyone a glass.Peng Mingyang stood up staggeringly and said, "Come on, let's all have a toast to Director Wei, do it, do it."

Everyone got up with their glasses, slurped, and drank it all in one gulp. Before they could smack their lips, Peng Mingyang suddenly frowned, and spit out all the wine he just drank with a sound of "Pooh". It was abnormal, but it had already been swallowed into the throat and could not be spit out.

"What, what kind of Moutai is this? It's bitter and smelly, it's really unpalatable." Peng Mingyang asked the waiter, glaring at him.

Although the waiter was young, he was not afraid, and answered his gaze coldly: "This is not Moutai, this is the river water scooped up from the lower reaches of the Qingyang River."

"What, what?" Peng Mingyang felt as if he had been pricked by a needle when he heard the words "downstream of the Qingyang River". She shouted and asked: "You, you are not the waiter here, you, who are you?"

Only then did he see clearly that although the girl was wearing the same white shirt as the hotel waiter, she was wearing a pair of jeans on her lower body, not the waiter's attire.

The girl said: "It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is that I want the leaders and experts from the province to know what the water in the lower reaches of our Qingyang River looks like." He took out two bottles of dark water and unscrewed the lids, and the room was filled with a pungent, unpleasant and disgusting smell.

The girl who speaks uprightly and boldly is none other than Xiaoye from Hexi Village.

It turned out that after Cui Suoping rolled down the hillside last night and attracted all the pursuers, Xiaoye took the opportunity to escape down the mountain by the small road and rushed to Qingyang City this morning.

After she inquired about the whereabouts of the Provincial Environmental Protection Work Inspection Team, Zhao Yihai and Peng Mingyang had been by her side, and Lu Lu was standing by the side like a sentinel, preventing her from approaching.She followed them into the hotel at noon, and the hotel staff thought she was a guest, and no one cared about her. The only army who knew her was not qualified to eat at the same table with the leader, so she went to the lobby to eat. Only then did she find someone close to the inspection team. Chance.

Ning Ze was looking at Xiaoye, then at Peng Mingyang, who had a livid face, and seemed to have noticed something, stood up and walked to Xiaoye and said, "Girl, can you show me the water sample in your hand?"

Xiaoye looked up at him, and asked warily, "Are you...?"

Ning Zezheng smiled slightly, took out his work card and handed it to her, and said, "I am Ning Zezheng, chief engineer of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department."

Xiaoye took a serious look at his work card, and then trustingly handed him the two water samples.

Ning Zezheng asked the inspector Shen Jian to take out a water quality monitoring instrument and test it himself. The results showed that the water sample "taken from the wharf of Hedong Village in the lower reaches of the Qingyang River" was the most polluted water of inferior fifth class and had no use value. , indicating that the groundwater taken from the well 30 meters underground is the fifth category of water.

Ning Zezheng looked at Xiaoye and asked, "Girl, how can you convince me that these two water samples were indeed taken from the lower reaches of the Qingyang River?"

Xiaoye said: "I have no way to prove it. I can only say that if you have any doubts, we welcome you to go downstream to investigate."

"But yesterday we sent staff to take water samples downstream, but the test results were completely different from today."

"It's true that your people went downstream yesterday, but they didn't get out of the car to take water samples at all. Instead, they took our village director to the restaurant in the town to eat delicious food, and took two bottles directly from the restaurant's water pipe. 'Water sample'."

"Really? Is there such a thing?"

Ning Zezheng frowned, his eyes were like lightning, and he shot majestically at Yang Hui, the assistant inspector who was in charge of taking water samples yesterday.

Yang Hui was shocked all over, his face was pale, he hid behind the crowd and dared not raise his head.

Looking at him like this, Ning Ze knew that what the girl said was true, so he slammed the table angrily, and said angrily: "It's really unreasonable, you, you are too outrageous."

This scolding made Peng Mingyang tremble all over, but his mind calmed down. He turned his eyes and thought of a countermeasure. He opened his small mung bean eyes and stared at Xiaoye viciously. He said in a threatening tone: "Little girl!" Come on, tell me, who are you and who are you instigated by? Why do you falsely accuse us again and again? The inspection team of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department has carefully inspected our Qingyang Industrial Zone from beginning to end yesterday afternoon The sewage discharge situation of all enterprises including our famous paper mill. All enterprises in our industrial zone have established their own sewage purification facilities, and every drop of water discharged from us is up to standard. In this case, How could it still cause such serious pollution to the Qingyang River? The leader’s eyes are sharp. Don’t think that just filling two bottles of sewage from any place can bring down our company. Let me tell you, I, Mr. Peng, have a very strong background. , our famous paper mill has deep roots, and we will never fail.”

"Hmph, every drop of water discharged is up to standard? I can't see it."

Xiaoye turned around and brought in a canvas satchel from the corner outside the door, took out a few photos from it and put them on the table.

Ning Zezheng took a look. The photos were taken of several enterprises in the Mingyang Paper Mill and other industrial zones wantonly secretly discharging sewage into the Qingyang River. The hidden pipes, the black water protruding from the pipes , is simply shocking.

Xiao Ye came prepared with confidence, and said: "I have investigated it a long time ago. If a large paper mill like Mingyang Paper Mill operates its sewage treatment equipment throughout the year, the cost will be at least 800 million yuan. Calculated at 1 tons, the cost is 2 yuan, and the weekly pollution control cost is roughly equivalent to the price of buying a Santana car. And if you are caught for sneaking, as in your factory, you will be charged according to the maximum limit of relevant regulations , and can only be fined up to 10 yuan at a time. It is precisely because the cost of breaking the law is much lower than the cost of abiding by the law, so these enterprises have played the game of "welcome at startup, farewell at shutdown" with the environmental protection department. When the inspection team came, the sewage The treatment facilities are all operating normally, and the industrial wastewater meets the discharge requirements. As soon as the inspection team left the factory area, the company immediately stopped operating the sewage treatment equipment and switched to underground drains for sneaky drainage. Director Peng, don’t stare at me, do I say Is it wrong? Do you dare to lead the inspection team back to your carbine and go to your factory for another inspection?"

"I, what am I afraid of? I'll make a phone call and ask the driver to pick us up right away."

Peng Mingyang seemed a little flustered, and was about to dial a number when he took out his mobile phone, when Ning Zezheng suddenly became suspicious, stopped him and said, "There's no need to call the driver, we'll walk there. Cell phone, answering the phone, or sending a text message, all will be regarded as tipping off the illegal enterprise, no matter who they are, they will be held legally responsible for their actions. Director Wei, Mayor Zhao, let’s go to the old place Let's go again."

7
As a result of the inspection team's "revisiting old places", it was found that among the 28 enterprises in Qingyang Industrial Zone, except for the normal operation of sewage treatment facilities in four enterprises, the sewage treatment equipment of the other 24 enterprises including Mingyang Paper Mill It's all in vain, and has long since stopped functioning.A large amount of untreated industrial wastewater was directly discharged into the Qingyang River through the culvert.

"How about it, Deputy Mayor Zhao, the company is stealing and leaking on such a large scale right under your noses, do you dare to say that your city leaders and people from the Environmental Protection Bureau are completely unaware of it?"

In the face of Ning Ze's righteous and stern questioning, Zhao Yihai's face flushed red, and he pretended to berate Peng Mingyang and several business owners present. He used oil on the soles of his feet under the pretext that there was an important meeting to be held in the city— — slipped away.

Deputy Director Wei actually had contact with Peng Mingyang for a long time, and he had a good impression of him, but after this trouble, he couldn't help him even if he wanted to. In order to avoid dragging himself into the water, he simply put his hands behind his back and stood aside. You Ning is dealing with this matter.

"Qingyang River can be said to be a mother river for the survival of our downstream villagers. It used to be just like its name, a clear and green river with rippling fish and shrimps in the river, and lush green trees on both sides. Chengyin, the villagers rely on it for drinking water and irrigation water. But a few years ago, an industrial zone was built in the middle reaches, and all this has changed tragically. Our mother river has gradually become a black water river and a stinky river. The river, the fish and shrimps in the river have disappeared, there is no grass on the bank, there are no people on the pier, cattle and sheep are gone, and even insects are not seen. This kind of "soy sauce water" is not only drinking, it is even a problem for irrigating crops. In order to survive, the villagers had to spend their own money to press down the wells to get water. However, the sewage seeped into the ground, and even the well water was polluted. There was a layer of oily white foam on the surface of the well water drawn from the ground. There is also an unpleasant smell. Some villagers paid a high price to dig a 50-meter-deep well, but the water they draw up is still turbid, tastes bitter, and is difficult to drink. Since three or four years ago, people in the village have died of cancer. The number of people suddenly increased. According to a survey I have here, there are more than 170 villagers, old and young, in Hedong Village and Hexi Village. There are more than [-] people, most of whom are young and middle-aged people. Nowadays, both Hedong Village and Hexi Village have become well-known cancer villages. If you think I’m fabricating facts to scare people, I have a list of cancer deaths in the two villages in recent years. , you can go down to investigate as much as you can. All the villagers in our downstream welcome the inspection team to go down and investigate, and they all look forward to the inspection team going down to investigate.”

When Xiaoye said this, she didn't know whether she was excited or sad, but she couldn't help but shed tears.From her canvas satchel, she pulled out a stack of photos of the polluted lower reaches of the Qingyang River and a multi-page list of cancer deaths.

Ning Zezheng stretched out his hand to take it wordlessly, feeling extremely heavy.

Weixinghua assessed the situation in front of him and knew it was time to say something, so he coughed, cleared his throat, walked up to Xiaoye, held her hand firmly and said with deep feeling: "Girl, what do you offer?" The information and the reported situation surprised us. First of all, on behalf of the environmental protection department, I would like to apologize to you and to all the villagers in the lower reaches of the Qingyang River for our dereliction of duty. Don’t worry, our inspection team will go to the lower reaches to investigate and collect evidence immediately. If you If the reported situation is true, then we will investigate to the end and will not tolerate it. For those large polluters, we must stop what should be stopped and shut down what should be closed. Compensation will be given to those who have caused loss of people's lives and property according to law. Girl , you have conducted an in-depth investigation on this matter and are familiar with the situation, I would like to ask you to be our guide for this inspection operation, I wonder if it will work?"

Xiaoye said: "Thank you for the trust of the leader. In fact, I did not investigate the information alone. A large part of the 'threat information' is another college student who just graduated from the Department of Chemistry and went deep into the tiger's den to take great risks. It was investigated." So he told the whole process of how he and Cui Suoping went to the city to file a complaint and were blocked by a gang of thugs led by the army.

"Oh, where is the young man named Cui Suoping you mentioned now? I want to see him right away. Did he really graduate from the chemistry department of a university? What our environmental protection department lacks is this kind of professional knowledge and a sense of justice." As long as he is willing, I can recommend him to work in the environmental protection department.” Ning Zezheng immediately expressed great interest in Cui Suoping after hearing her finish.

"Where is he now, I have to ask Director Peng." When Xiaoye said this, he squinted at Peng Mingyang next to him, and asked, "Director Peng, I saw your people take Cui Suoping with my own eyes. Now is it possible to invite him out to meet everyone?"

"All right, no problem, I'll ask him out right away." Peng Mingyang hid aside and made a phone call with a puffy face.

Not long after, Lu Jun led a thin young man with glasses out.

Ning Zezheng wanted to ask Xiaoye something, but when he turned his head, the girl beside him had disappeared...

8
Afterwards, Peng Mingyang couldn't hold back his breath, took out the photo of Xiaoye that he secretly took with his mobile phone, and asked Lu Jun to go downstream to find out who this girl was, and when it was convenient, he "made" her.

Lu Lu took the photo and asked about it, and everyone said, "Hey, isn't this Ye Chan, the eldest daughter of Ye Laogen's family in Hexi Village?"

But after inquiring again, Ye Chan died of leukemia a year ago.

But what Cui Suoping found out was that Ye Chan also has a twin sister named Ye Juan, who is currently studying Chinese martial arts at a women's martial arts academy in Henan...
