"Who said I was going to punish you? Quickly bring the person here. I'll reward you after I've finished questioning them!"

Liu Wei said urgently.

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Xiao Guizi was relieved and hurriedly brought the fishmonger with Yang Yi!

"Sir, I'll head back home as soon as I sell the fish. I'll be leaving the city immediately and won't stay. I have an elderly mother to take care of at home, so please don't make things difficult for me!"

The fishmonger, reeking of fish, was brought before Liu Wei, who had a dignified and imposing presence. He was immediately frightened and hurriedly tried to explain.

It turned out that the Xiongnu were about to attack, and Liu Wei ordered that today was the last day of the market and that the whole city should be placed under martial law immediately.

Therefore, the people in the surrounding villages did not know how long the battle would last, so they hurried to the city to buy and sell things to prepare for their household expenses.

Shanwu City, as the former seat of Dingxiang Prefecture, was a place for free trade among the Han and Hu people of Dingxiang.

"Then I ask you, where did you catch such a big fish?"

Liu Wei, however, was interested in this.

"Reporting to you, sir, these fish were caught from Daihai Lake!"

"I already paid the tax when I sold it at the market!"

The fishmonger quickly explained.

"Daihai?" Liu Wei frowned. "Dingxiang has a sea too?"

"Oh, how ignorant you are! You must be from out of town!"

"Daihai is a large lake located thirty miles northeast of Shanwu, covering an area of ​​a hundred miles. We all rely on Daihai for our livelihood!"

"The Great Lake?"

"Yes, sir, the Qingshui River flows out of Daihai Lake!"

"This Daihai Lake is a bright pearl of the plateau at the foot of Manhan Mountain, and all the surrounding rivers flow into Daihai Lake."

"And the water of Daihai Lake flows into the Yellow River to the west through the Qingshui River."

I see!

"Someone come here! Give this brother a tip!"

Liu Wei immediately shouted!
