Chapter 109: Pollution of the White River (1) Gift Value Plus

Jiang Ningyue was not a local, so she had never heard of Wencheng Group, so she asked curiously:

"What's going on with this Wencheng Group?"

The driver and Tian Jun started talking to each other.

"The Wencheng Group in Donghe City has two companies, one is the Wencheng Group and the other is the Wucheng Group."

"There are two roads in the urban area of ​​Donghe City, one is called Wencheng Road and the other is called Wucheng Road."

"Around 2000, Song Wencheng's family lived in a small fishing village in Donghe City, making a living from fishing. There were even fights between fishing villages, probably over territory. It was said that only our village could fish; no one else could come.

Song Wencheng was a man of ability and intelligence. Gradually, he took over half of the Donghe fishing industry. In 2002, a major conflict broke out in Donghe City, and since then, Song Wencheng has controlled all of Donghe's fishing ports.

There was a saying at the time: "Whether crabs were expensive or not, it was Wencheng who had the final say." At the time, Wencheng's gang controlled the prices of all seafood in Donghe City. If anyone didn't sell at that price, Wencheng would shut them down.

Jiang Ningyue frowned when she heard this. "The fishmonger, Gao Qiqiang?"

"What?" The two looked at Jiang Ningyue in confusion.

"It's okay." Jiang Ningyue shook her head. "What about now?"

“We don’t hear much news now.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Wencheng Group should be cleaned up," Tian Jun said with emotion. "However, there must be some unspeakable secrets behind this group."

That night, Jiang Ningyue called the mysterious Mr. A and said, "I want you to investigate the evidence of the Song brothers' crimes in Donghe City."

Mr. A was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm just an informant, not an undercover agent, let alone a secret agent."

"I know, you just need to do some research."

Jiang Ningyue recalled Jin Changwei's work style, "Song Wencheng was able to keep his composure, but the group of people under him must have committed many crimes."

"knew."

Mr. A hung up the phone, and the matter in Donghe City seemed to have come to an end.

Through the topic selection platform, Jiang Ningyue learned that Wang Meng's family in Xing County, Donghe City, had received compensation, and the pork market in Xing County had been reopened. Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

However, Tian Jun did not let Donghe City go. He later searched for a lot of topics about Donghe City from the topic database and basically went to Donghe City every day.

Jin Changwei, who was so stubborn at the beginning, never appeared again, as if he was just bragging.

——

In April, Jiang Ningyue found several topics about "small property rights" housing in the topic database. Her colleagues also saw them and asked:

"Xiaoyue, have you read those 'small property rights' selections?"

After Jiang Ningyue clicked on it, she found that at least a dozen people had called to report the same problem.

Jiang Ningyue curled her lips and said, "I don't want to go. Seeing the words 'small property rights' gives me a headache."

Jiang Ningyue raised her head and said, "Brother Jun, let's go shoot this. The pollution in Baihe City is serious."

Mr. Wang: Since 2012, many factories have been established in Baihe City. Several factories and mines have also opened near my hometown, Xiaohewan Village in Nanhe County, Baihe City. Villagers can now find jobs without having to commute to the city, and the village has become more prosperous. This was originally a very happy thing.

However, over the past seven years, these factories have proliferated, and the environment has deteriorated. The once lush green mountains and clear waters are no longer visible. The once clear river water has turned dark green and foul-smelling.

Our small town is constantly traversed by heavy trucks, leaving the roads bumpy and uneven. Even the houses along the roads are covered in a thick layer of dust. On windy days, we dare not even open the windows, let alone go out. The sky is so dark that it feels like we've arrived at the Yellow Wind Ridge in Journey to the West...

"Shirakawa City?"

Tian Jun frowned after hearing this. "It seems that only high-tech industries remain of Haining's original factories. The polluting ones have been moved out. Baihe City took over a lot of them in the beginning."

A colleague asked curiously, "I heard the central environmental inspection team came to inspect our place. Under such circumstances, why haven't they made any rectifications?"

"Let me make a phone call to discuss the time."

Jiang Ningyue called Mr. Wang and arranged a time for the interview, and then Tian Jun and Jiang Ningyue set off for Baihe City.

Baihe City is located in the southeast of Gulin City, close to the neighboring province. There is a river in the city. Goods can be transported not only by highway, but also by inland rivers to the ports of Haizhou Province and other provinces.

Simply put, Baihe City had favorable geographical conditions, with numerous mines nearby. All it lacked was an opportunity to thrive. Haining City's factory relocation presented a golden opportunity. Baihe City immediately caught the eye of numerous heavy industry players, and over the years, these factories have gradually relocated to Baihe City.

After Jiang Ningyue and Tian Jun arrived in Baihe City, they didn't see any major problems in the urban area, but when they went to the suburbs, especially Nanhe County mentioned by Mr. Wang, they saw dense crowds of large trucks.

These trucks were heavily laden with cargo, and the roads were rugged and difficult to navigate. Every bump in the road would cause a large amount of soil and slag to fall off. A thick layer of dust had accumulated on the road over time, and the shop fronts on both sides of the road were also covered with a thick layer of dust.

“This is too dirty.”

The driver said with emotion, "This takes me back to more than ten years ago."

“Not more than ten years ago.”

Tian Jun added, "Many places are in this state now. If you haven't been to the towns below the coal mines, you'll see them as pure black. The waste coal slag has dyed the roads black. It was really shocking when I first saw it."

Jiang Ningyue lamented, "Local villagers haven't benefited much from the minerals, but have instead been affected by the pollution from the mines."

"Indeed," Tian Jun lamented. "All the money goes into the pockets of the bosses. How much do the common people get? When the mines are finished, the bosses walk away, leaving the mess behind. The common people suffer, and the government has to spend the money and effort to clean up the mess!"

"Brother Jun, this is quite profound."

Jiang Ningyue raised her thumbs up.

The car drove into a rural intersection. A middle-aged man was sitting under a big tree. The middle-aged man stood up and said, "Reporter Jiang, hello, hello."

After a few simple greetings, they got down to business. Mr. Wang took the two of them to the east side of the village. There was a mine on the east side of Xiaohewan Village, and at this moment, large trucks were constantly coming in and out of the mine.

"The first one is really noisy."

Mr. Wang said, "This mine is operating 24 hours a day, and there's a constant buzzing noise. The rumbling of the trucks is like thunder, and the chickens in the village have been scared to death. At my age, I can't sleep well at night. I feel like if I live here for a few more years, I'll have a nervous breakdown."

"The second one is pollution."

Mr. Wang pointed to the dust particles emitted from the mining site. "It's obvious to everyone. This stuff is harmful. It doesn't matter to the elderly, they won't live long. But what about children? If they grow up absorbing this stuff, how can their health be good?"

According to relevant regulations, a mine should be at least 500 meters away from a village. However, this mine is right next to this village. Is this really legal?
