behind me is the earth.

Chapter 276. 274. The War Caused by Environmental Protection

"Isn't this a mermaid?"

Ren Pingsheng, who was leading people to conduct research along the coast, received news that a talking fish had been caught in Yunmeng County, so he rushed here with his people.

In order to prevent the fish from dying of thirst, Si Nian also prepared a large water jar and kept it in it.

The merman's hands were tied behind his back, and he could only maintain an upright position in the water by flicking his tail. Outside the large water urn, an iron cage was fastened, and the iron cage was directly smashed into the ground with ground nails. Just in case the caught fish gets out of trouble.

In order to prevent her from sending out ultrasonic waves to summon sea monsters, she was also given a steel shackle in her mouth.At this moment, seeing Ren Pingsheng walking in surrounded by people, he immediately shook his head vigorously and let out a humming sound of "Mmmmmmmm".

"Give it to her."

Ren Pingsheng pointed to the shackle in her mouth.

Immediately someone ran over and took off the shackle from her mouth.

"Are you the biggest official here?"

The shark took a long breath, and when she saw that Ren Pingsheng was around and behind her, all the high-ranking officials who had seen her immediately realized that this should be the biggest official she had seen so far.

Ren Pingsheng sat down on the chair opposite the shark, and did not rush to answer her words, but looked at this half-man, half-fish female fish from the sea with a half-smile.

Her voice was very nice, and although she could understand her speech, her tone was not like that of a human being, but rather mellow like the sound of running water hitting a chime, ding ding dong dong.

The tone also seems to be a few more than that of people in northern Wuzhou Province, which is obviously not a local dialect.

"Can speak the language of human beings, and know who to tell who's official, obviously this ethnic group has had in-depth contact with the human world.

And this dialect is more like a southern dialect.

Since they have in-depth contact with human beings and have learned human language, these mermaids are very likely to have political and social relations similar to human society in the internal society, which means that these mermaids also have certain political relations. inclined.

From this point of view, are there humans involved in the war launched by the sharks against Dongyang County? "

Ren Pingsheng looked at the shark and analyzed it in his heart.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm a little scared!"

The shark said.

She had a feeling of being seen through by the man in front of her. Under his sharp eyes, she seemed to have no secrets, and everything was exposed in front of his eyes, which made her feel that the goosebumps on her body were all It's time to get up.

This makes her feel a little cowardly.

Finally, in the terrible silence, the other party spoke.

"what's your name?"

The high official on the opposite side asked her.

"Nasa, Yu Nasha."

It doesn't mean to be stubborn and unswerving until death, Yu Nasha replied honestly.

This point is very different from those ordinary sea monsters who are not afraid of life and death and charge to death.

Ren Pingsheng nodded, regardless of whether the other party made up the name or not.The name alone deepened the speculation that the other party had had close contact with humans.

"Can I write it down?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

Someone carried a table, paper and pen into the cage and placed it in front of the water urn.

Yu Nasha shook her shoulders, indicating that her hands were still tied.

She looked at Ren Pingsheng, but saw that this human official was just staring at her, his eyes were neither sharp nor emotional, and he looked at her indifferently.

Yu Nasha didn't dare to speak anymore, she thought for a while and bent down slightly, stretched out a tongue to wrap around the pen holder, held the pen holder in her mouth, and wrote her name crookedly on the paper.

Although the characters are not good-looking, it can be seen that this is the official character of Jing Chao.

Yu Nasha didn't put down her pen, and wrote another line of characters under her name.

"Which language is this?"

Ren Pingsheng asked the person next to him.

Si Nian replied, "It's the font style on Xi Luo's side."

"It seems that it is still a race that combines Chinese and Western."

Ren Pingsheng tapped the armrest of the chair lightly.

"Your gender?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

Yu Nasha lowered her head in bewilderment, looked at the area under her apron woven with colored scales that was about to emerge, and then looked up at the senior official.

"I'm asking you something, what are you looking at!"

Si Nian glanced at Yu Nasha's chest, and said unhappily.

"Oh, oh, girl, I'm a girl, really a girl. There are no hermaphrodites in our mermaid race."

Yu Nasha quickly replied.

"What is your identity among the mermen? What do you usually do?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

"We are a mermaid family...you call us mermaids, and those people in the west call us mermaids. We mermaids have more than a dozen tribes in the East China Sea, including Dongying, Jiangnu, Huanhua, etc. The three tribes are the strongest, and I am the third daughter of the leader of the Huanhua tribe."

Yu Nasha poured beans into the bamboo tube and said, not hiding anything.

"How many...persons do you have?"

Yu Nasha raised her chest and said proudly: "Our Huanhua tribe has a total of 22 people, because our mother is the most capable merman in the surrounding sea area, and our tribe is also the most populous in the surrounding area!"

"Ah."

The 22-person tribe is still the largest in the East China Sea.

But after thinking about it, these mermaids can control a large number of sea monsters, and the combat capabilities they can display are indeed not weak!
According to the scale of Yunmeng County's siege this time, everyone is equivalent to a group army!
"How many sea monsters are there in your tribe?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

"Sea monsters? Are those sea people who can land?"

Yu Nasha said timidly.

Because the topic has reached here, it has already involved her direct conflict with human beings. For her, the most dangerous questioning has finally begun.

"good."

Ren Pingsheng nodded.

"These sea monsters are not our ethnic group. They are inexhaustible in the ocean. Over the years, there have been more and more sea monsters like this. Their wisdom has not increased much, but their size has become bigger and bigger. It got bigger, and there was that kind of human body and fish head. I don't know how it became like that.

Moreover, after the number of these sea monsters increased, because they deviated from the original laws of heaven and hunted in the ocean, causing the entire sea world to be a mess, we often drove these sea monsters to kill each other, so as to control the environment in the sea area to coordinate and effectively sequence. "

Yu Nasha said.

This was beyond Ren Pingsheng's expectation.

He thought these sea monsters were also one of them.

Now it seems that these sea monsters are the same as the monsters on the earth. After they become monsters, they will hunt other animals and human beings in large quantities. If they are not controlled, they will destroy the biosphere in a short time. Only after the biosphere layer is readjusted and then stabilized will new laws appear.

It's just that whether this rule is still in line with the previous mainstream values ​​is not certain.

And, more appropriately, these sea monsters are more like species invasion on Earth.Invasive species have proliferated without native predators reacting and incorporating them into their diets.Invasive species that reproduce wantonly and their populations surge will eat away at, squeeze, and destroy this ecosystem.

"Our merman family can control these sea monsters. As for controlling the number of sea monsters, it is different.

In our Huanhua tribe, the mother can control 3 sea monsters, the elder sister can control more than [-] sea monsters, the second sister can control [-] sea monsters like me, and most of the other younger sisters and relatives are less than [-], and some are young. The sisters can only control dozens or hundreds of sea monsters.

My lord, I am very precious in our Huanhua tribe.As long as my lord let me go and I go back to persuade my mother, she will definitely order to retreat. I will talk to my lord mother again, live in harmony with my lord's city-state, be friendly and help each other, and form an ally. "

Yu Nasha finally said.

If it was really like what Yu Nasha said, Ren Pingsheng would believe it.

After all, in a tribe of only 22 people, any one person is a precious asset.

Not to mention, Yu Nasha, who is still able to control more than 2 sea monsters, is at the top of the tribe.

"Where's your electric fish?"

Ren Pingsheng just asked questions, and didn't pick up any words from Nasha.

"It is a sea beast, and it is also a strange beast in the sea that has changed over the years, but there are very few of these strange beasts, and I only have this sea beast as my guard.

They themselves are a species capable of discharging electricity, and after the mutation, the electricity they emit can even challenge a family of dozens of whales! "

Yu Nasha explained.

"Why did you attack Dongyang County? Is it the subjective will of your Huanhua tribe? What is your purpose?"

As soon as Yu Shasha finished speaking, Ren Pingsheng asked immediately, throwing out several questions at once.

"what!?"

Yu Nasha was a little confused by the series of questions.

"We attacked Dongyang County, not because of our tribe's subjective will, but because some humans came to our mother with some things, saying that you would discharge those things into our sea area and harm the marine environment we depend on for survival. Will start a war...
In addition, the sea monsters on the bottom of the sea have grown too fast these days, and we also want to consume the number of sea monsters.

We sea people are not adapted to the land environment. Even if we can survive on land, we will feel less comfortable in the water, so we are not interested in your city-state, my lord. "

Ren Pingsheng frowned, stood up and shouted angrily: "In Daze County, more than [-] households, nearly [-] people were massacred overnight, and a large number of counties, dozens of villages and towns, and more than [-] people in the three coastal counties of Dongyang County were killed by you!" Massacre, such actions, dare to say aimless? Are you a massacre? Killing becomes a demon?"

"Ah this..."

Yu Nasha was momentarily caught up in the question, and said nazily: "It's not all done by our Huanhua tribe. I heard that the Dongying tribe in the northern sea of ​​our tribe also sent people to participate. They have always been paranoid in their work, and their personality is also very weird and violent. , Neither we nor the Ginger Girl Tribe like to deal with them, and these things may be done by them."

Seeing that Yu Nasha was obviously frightened, Ren Pingsheng sat down again: "Tell me, who came to you with something and persuaded you to start this war."

"It's a sea merchant, the Xue family. They often pass by our sea area. Several of our tribes have dealt with them before. A few days ago, they found my mother with some black water and said that the ground in Dongyang County The people on the ground will discharge these things into the sea water.

After we tried it, we found that there was something in the black water, and some small fish and shrimps were all poisoned to death.

This is something that endangers our offshore environment. Naturally, we attach great importance to it. We immediately united with the Jiangnv tribe and used a type of seaweed to investigate the offshore area. Although the amount of seawater is very small, those toxic substances in black water do exist.

We followed the amount of these substances and went upstream along the river, and found that the more upstream the Liusand River was, the more these substances were, and it was definitely discharged by humans..."

Yu Nasha saw that Ren Pingsheng's face was getting darker and darker, her voice was getting lower and lower, and finally stopped completely, not daring to speak anymore.

"The black water comes from the upper reaches. What does it have to do with my Dongyang County? You kill the people of Dongyang indiscriminately. What does this have to do with the fact that the Dongying tribe sent people to beat you and you sent people to kill the Jiangnu tribe?" the difference?"

Ren Pingsheng slapped the table and scolded: "You mermaid, you don't want to repent! I'll ask you, do you plead guilty? Do you regret the crimes committed by yourself and your tribe?"

"what!"

Yu Nasha was taken aback, and cried bitterly: "Plead guilty, plead guilty, regret it, and never dare again.

I know that these black waters are not discharged by Dongyang County. Please let me go back. After I go back, I must go to my mother, clarify the reason, stop the war, restrain the sea monsters, prevent them from landing, and find a way to compensate for the losses we caused. ..."

"Now, it's not your decision to stop the war, it's our decision. Even if there are many sea monsters in the sea, you can't control the sea monsters too far away! The army under my command has arrived in Dongyang County. Your tribal tribesmen will bring you to justice one by one, let you reunite in this prison cell, and the sins you have caused will be judged at that time!"

After Ren Pingsheng finished speaking, he waved his sleeves away amidst Yu Nasha's cries.

This Yu Nasha seems to be cowardly, but she is actually very smart in protecting herself.Perhaps it is true as she said, the number of sharks is small, and the most important thing is to protect themselves after being captured.This is evidenced by the fact that she did not choose to fight, but ran away immediately after she was discovered.

"My lord, should we have a talk with these sharks?"

Zhou Ming asked.

Ren Pingsheng's fierce anger in the prison cell had already calmed down the moment he stepped out of the threshold, and shook his head: "Zheng Fangxing's third division will arrive soon, and Dongyang County will be strong by then. Daze County has been wiped out, and the rest All were transferred to Wuyang County.

The army only needs to defend Yunmeng and Fuyang counties.

Instead of extravagantly seeking a truce, it is better to injure, maim, and fear them before truce!

This is the way to long-term stability. "

Ren Pingsheng looked at Zheng Shaoguan: "This Xue family, but the Xue family in Fuzhou County?"

"Returning to my lord, there is a high probability that it is the Xue family. This Xue family claims to be a maritime merchant, but in fact it is in collusion with overseas pirates, and they have done a lot of business without capital."

Zheng Shaoguan said with disgust.

"This Xue family is also Wang Anguo's white gloves."

Ren Pingsheng had seen the introduction of the Xue family in previous reports.These are Wang Anguo's white gloves and money bag. The money Wang Anguo used to train the new army in the south was provided by the Xue family.

"This Wang Anguo really does everything he can to deal with me, Ren Pingsheng!"

Ren Pingsheng sighed.

First, the Yiren of the Yiren Division was sent to ambush him halfway, intending to take his life.

He was still instigating the sharks in the dark, not hesitating to cause chaos in Dongyang County, just to disrupt his development.

"In the past, I thought he was a foolish and loyal person who was loyal to the country, but now it seems that he is nothing more than an unscrupulous and unscrupulous person!"

Ren Pingsheng put it behind him, and only waited for the next meeting with swords and guns.

After coming out to be imprisoned in Nasha's courtyard, Ren Pingsheng looked at Ruan Tang, and the two looked at each other with wry smiles.

The environmental protection issue in Qingcheng Town cannot be left to its own devices, it has to be put on the line.
