"Work and kick? How is it possible? The materials used are so good, it is impossible to destroy them in half a year! You won't be able to use martial arts.

Do you know why the village chief is called "skinned"? Because he is greedy and stingy, he can make money from you, and you can make a layer of skin. If you want to make money from him, you can't even think about making money from him."

Seeing the fisherman breaking the topic again and fishing for his own taste, Zheng Junshan had to follow it and asked in a hurry: "Boatman, don't fish for the taste! Tell me what's going on?"

"Don't worry! I've gotten this one..."

After the fisherman finished speaking, Zheng Junshan hurriedly signaled the ship owner to get the water. The ship owner also heard it very enthusiastically. After taking the water, he was about to hand it over, but Zheng Junshan intercepted him.

Zheng Junshan took out more than a dozen copper coins and handed them over with the water. The fisherman suddenly smiled and hid the copper coins tightly before drinking the water.

This action made Zheng Junshan unable to help but complain that the village chief is an old man, and you are not a good guy.

After drinking the water, the fisherman stopped keeping it aside and said to several people: "Boss, have you forgotten what you asked me about the river rising water? We, the village chief, made this work.

Those outsiders came from the dry season. They were not sure about the rise of the river. The village chief did not get any benefits, so they joined forces with other village chiefs to seal the mouths of these people to work, and we were not allowed to disclose them.

After all, we have to live in the village, and the village chief has promised benefits. There is no need to offend several village chiefs for a few outsiders, so we didn't reveal it.

I got up the house directly, and I had enough manpower. The building was built in less than two months. It was beautifully painted and opened and became prosperous. On that day, several good boats came to add coal.

The situation did not last for half a year, and it was the rainy season. The water rose much higher than usual that year. The building was half flooded and the walls were soaked.

At that time, the coal station only sold coal, and the coal warehouse was well ventilated. Hehe... the water was in great trouble as soon as it came. Most of the coal in the coal warehouse was washed away by water, and many fields behind the coal station were covered with coal layers.

Because the village elders took the fields of Pi's family, they first went to the coal station and said that the coal had damaged the land, so they demanded compensation and cleaning fees, and encouraged other people with coal in the fields to join them.

The river water rushes! There are so many people who only have one or two pieces of coal, and they come with them. There are too many people at the coal station, so they have to admit it and spend money to settle it.

Once the plan was done, Lao Baozhai made another plan to sell the cleaned coal to the coal station. The coal station recognized it again for fear of causing trouble. Many people brought bad coal and even burned black wood to sell it to the coal station.

The people at the coal station came back and knew that they had not prepared any good things, so they gave gifts and money to several village chiefs, but peeling is just peeling, so how easy it is to get rid of it?

The old man said that the coal station's terrain was low, so that it would be flooded every year, so that the building would need to be buried and the terrain would be raised.

The coal station agreed, so Lao Papi sold the soil of a small bales near the village to the coal station. Not only did the coal station spend money to buy soil and transport soil, but the small bales were dug up and the land was also in vain.

After the terrain was raised, the coal station was almost exhausted, and the building was converted into tiled houses, and the business was delayed. I still didn't give up and wanted to arrange people to work and make money.

However, the coal station is not easy to mess with. The village chief arranged for the person to go there and accidentally fell into the water and almost drowned after working for a few days. As for what the real situation is, I don’t need to say more!

Anyway, the locals have not dared to work at the coal station until now. They are all coal station owners. They have found outsiders. After Lao Baopi, they have never dared to start the coal station again. However, Qianmei Station is given every year."

Not to mention, the battle between the coal station and the skinned sword really opened Zheng Junshan's eyes, especially under the vivid description of the fisherman, it had a bit of a storytelling smell.

However, Zheng Junshan did not forget what he was here for. He keenly extracted a lot of useful information from the fisherman's story.

The first thing is the opening time of the coal station. Shortly after the restaurant was opened, this news was delved into it and gave Zheng Junshan a lot of ideas.

The second is the ship, a good ship that arrived at the scene when the coal station opened. Zheng Junshan specifically asked about the style of the ship roughly matched the several ships in the target fleet, and there were not many such ships when the coal station was opened, so it was unlikely that such a coincidence.

Finally, the people at the coal station were all from other places, without locals, or there were no outsiders inside, which was consistent with their inference about the Japanese spy stronghold.

As for the situation of the fight between Coal Station and the village head of Papi, Zheng Junshan believes that it is likely that it will happen, unlike a double act.

First of all, in rural areas, it is not uncommon for locals to join forces to cheat outsiders, and they are much more cruel than this.

Secondly, at this time, the countryside of Jiangnan was very particular about clan relations. Many villages were big families. This can be seen from the names of several nearby villages, such as Caozhuang, Lijia Village, and Zhengjiawa.

In this kind of place, the village chief is generally the leader of the clan. If he joins outsiders, he will deceive his family. Once exposed, it will be difficult to survive in the village under the background of the clan era.

Finally, although I don’t know how much the coal station was cheated, it’s estimated that the fisherman described it. It’s impossible for Japanese spies to take on this sucker just to act as a double act.

However, if you say that, Zheng Junshan will not be careless. After all, there are some doubts that cannot be explained, so you should be careful.

So when the small steamer drove away, Zheng Junshan looked for a few gestures from the boat, and a small fishing boat walking in the river slowly approached here and got out of the net not far from the fisherman.

This small fishing boat was responsible for checking several team members in Jiangxinzhou. When the fisherman said that the village chief of Papi was the leader, Zheng Junshan stopped him by.

Although he had gained a small amount of unexpected gains, the fisherman did not stop fishing. As soon as the small steamer Zheng Junshan drove away, he continued to spread the net.

Zheng Junshan is particularly concerned about all kinds of things now, so several team members who took the fishing boat chose to catch fish, making them look very good. Not only did they not arouse suspicion from the fisherman, but they also put on the topic of the conversation.

After Zheng Junshan left, the boat arrived at Xinjizhou Head and turned around and walked from the south bank of the Yangtze River. On the way, he met two team members from the south bank and exchanged situations.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Zheng Junshan did not arrange the two teams to check Jiangwan Coal Station, and even asked them to take over the work of fishing boats to investigate Jiangxinzhou and continue to investigate along the river.

After all, although I thought that Jiangwan Coal Station was 80% possible, Zheng Junshan did not want to give up the other clues before it was completely confirmed.

The small boat Zheng Junshan took was walking around Xinjizhou for half a circle, then returned to the back of the river at Xinjizhou, entered the waterway covered by reeds by the river, and not far from Xiaoying.

"Cruiseman, you should have seen that we are not little businessmen!"

The ship owner nodded slightly, his heart had already fallen to the bottom of the valley, but he had no choice but to pretend to be calm and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not talk about this matter, please..."

"Oh..." Zheng Junshan waved his hand, knowing that the ship owner had made a mistake, and thought that he wanted to let him go into a remote place to silence his mouth. It was difficult to dispel the other party's doubts by relying on his mouth alone, so he took out two small yellow croakers.

"Boatman, I want you to help me with something. If it is done, these are my wishes."

Looking at the two little yellow croakers of Huang Chengcheng, the boat owner knew that he had been thinking about it, and his breathing became rapid. He knew the value of these two roots and he might only earn it after several months of running the boat.

Moreover, this is a surprise, and you don’t need to use it for daily expenses. You can save it yourself. Then it won’t take long to change to a larger boat.

The ship owner thought a lot, sometimes he wanted to save and buy a new boat, sometimes he wanted to buy a new clothes for his wife, sometimes he kept it for his son to marry, etc. Anyway, he thought about all the uses of this money.

But in the end, the ship owner endured the temptation and asked in a low voice: "Official, are you going to move the boats parked in the river bay?"

"Well..." Zheng Junshan was a little surprised that the ship owner actually thought of this floor, but after thinking about it carefully, he had been asking the ship owner about the ship, and it was not very difficult to think of this floor.

However, it is enough to show that the ship owner has a good observation ability, which makes Zheng Junshan more confident in asking him to do this.

Looking at the ship owner who obviously wanted to say something but was struggling for a long time, Zheng Junshan said: "If you have any requirements, just ask for it! As long as it is not too much, and within the range I can use it, I will agree."

"This..." After a while, the owner of the ship made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "This official, if you arrested those people, can you transfer them to my ship?

The worst is good. I can buy it at the market price, but I don’t have that much money and need to default for a while. Look..."

Zheng Junshan thought for a while and replied, "I can agree to this, and even transfer it to you at the market price a few months ago, but you must do it to satisfy me."

Hearing this, the owner was so excited that his face turned red. It was not his fault. The business in Nanjing was booming, which made the shipping share a piece of the pie and made more money in transportation. The price of the ship has also risen a lot in recent months.

Zheng Junshan did not deceive the ship owner. After all, this fleet has been formed for many years. Although it is a good ship to ordinary people, Zheng Junshan does not think it is of great use to keep his hands.

The main reason is that those ships are all coal-burning ships. Although this is the mainstream power of most small steamers on the Yangtze River, the intelligence department uses ships instead of running ships. Moreover, they have been a long time, so these ships have no effect on them.

After the ship owner's mood stabilized, Zheng Junshan talked about what he wanted to do, mainly to go to the near Jiangwan Coal Station to find out some news from the people in each village.

As for why I didn’t go there in person, Zheng Junshan mainly considers that this place is in the countryside, and his own people are all unrestrained here, and they are not as crowded as the city, so it is not appropriate to go there rashly.

The ship owner is different. He travels on this river all year round. People from these villages have more or less ridden by them. They can be considered half a familiar face and let him explore the way first.

If you can find enough information, Zheng Junshan won’t have to send many people. If you don’t find what you want, if the ship owner explores the passing, you won’t be in the dark.

After explaining what the ship's main is doing, Zheng Junshan looked at the owner's son in the cabin and continued, "I still need your boy to do something else for me."

"This..." the ship owner hesitated and asked, "I can go if there is anything. That kid is too young, what can he do?"

"Don't worry... it's not difficult, just let him explore the nearby terrain and other situations around Jiangwan, and there will be no problem.

The reason I asked him to go is because he is very young and the other party doesn’t care too much. Don’t worry! You can come back after a walk around.”

The ship owner was still worried. Zheng Junshan had no choice but to persuade him. The ship owner reluctantly agreed and entered the cabin and told his boy for a long time before he came out with him.

The young man looked at it only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he had been running on the river with the owner for two years. Compared to the owner's concern, he was full of excitement. After coming over, he began to ask Zheng Junshan what he wanted to do.

Zheng Junshan told me that it was not a difficult thing, just go around Jiangwan Coal Station, look at the terrain, see the plants and trees, and see what was planted in the farmland.

After hearing this, the young man was a little disappointed, but he still patted his chest and said that he would definitely complete the task.

When Zheng Junshan saw this, he asked with a smile: "Then what reason are you going to go there? You can't just leave empty-handed and have nothing, right? Then what do you want to say when others ask you."

"Well..." The young man thought for a while, and suddenly he ran into the cabin mysteriously. After a while, he carried a small cloth bag and opened it. Inside it was a slingshot and a pile of steel balls.

"Can you use this? This is a slingshot I bought in the city recently. I will take it to shoot birds around. I probably won't doubt it!"

Before Zheng Junshan could speak, the ship owner grabbed the young man's ear and said, "You prodigal son, how much does this cost? Isn't it enough to use stones? Why spend this money? I'm so angry..."

As he said that, the ship owner was about to fight. The young man hurriedly looked at Zheng Junshan for help, and Zheng Junshan stopped the ship owner.

"It's really too luxurious to use steel balls, so it's better not to use them. After a while, pick up a pile of stones and go over!"

"Yes..." The young man responded aggrievedly. Zheng Junshan gave another order and carefully explained the precautions before he let the two get off the boat and go to the destination.

When we got ashore, we were still three or four kilometers away from the target. After the ship owner got ashore, he went to the village first, bought something from the grocery store, and then picked it up before going to the destination.

The ship owner thought about an excuse for the past this time. He had a distant relative in Caozhuang there. He used the excuse of visiting relatives, so he went to buy things.

Zheng Junshan thought it was not enough to just visit relatives. After all, the boat owner of this relative had basically never walked around, so he found another excuse to go to the countryside to find a few herbs.

The ship owner and his son walked towards the destination while searching for herbs. Not long after, they found a small bundle. The young man also gestured around with a slingshot, but he didn't expect that he would actually take a few.

When I arrived at my relative's house, I had a chill. After chatting for half an hour, the ship owner said that he wanted his relatives to take them around to find medicine and went out.

The young man brought a few birds into the village, which immediately attracted the attention of many children. One or two of them came forward to inquire, and soon they got along with the children in the village.

The young man was thinking about using some excuse to go to Jiangwan Coal Station, but a child said that the wheels would also be bombed. Then someone said that he had seen them at Jiangwan Coal Station.
