The hall was empty. Under Gao Muqing's lightning-like gaze, Lin Jue stood there with a normal expression, responding to Gao Muqing's cold gaze with a smile on his lips.
"Tell me, who are you and what do you know."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Master of Dazhai, this is not the way to treat guests. You have to make tea and invite me to sit down and talk."
"There is no tea. If you continue to be glib, I can treat you to eat my sword first. I have ten thousand ways to get you to tell the truth. Do you want to try it?" Gao Muqing sneered.
Lin Jue frowned and smacked his lips and said: "The leader of Dazhai is so beautiful, but he is so fierce. This is not good. It destroys the image of the leader of Dazhai in my mind."
Gao Muqing snorted coldly and touched the hilt of the sword with his fingers.
Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hands and said: "That's all, let's just talk about business and there is no need to use a sword or a sword. I can't afford torture. If you chop me with a sword, I might die."
Gao Muqing had never seen someone speak with such a playful smile in front of her. She wished she could kill the person in front of her with a sword. But in her heart, she wanted to know the secret of her father's death that the person told her, so she forced herself to endure it.
"Master Dazhai, in fact, this is not the first time we have met. The last time we met...well...let me think about it, it should have been...eight or nine days ago. That day was the death anniversary of the old village master.
Did the leader of the big village go to worship at the grave of the old leader in the evening?"
Gao Muqing frowned slightly and said coldly: "You are not from the outpost camp? Are you on duty in the back mountain? Why don't I remember seeing you? I know all the guards on the back mountain."
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "Master Dazhai, I'm not lying. I am from the outpost camp at the foot of the mountain. I joined the camp less than a month ago, and now I am working as a minion under Liu Dabao, the ninth team of the outpost camp. That day
I saw the leader of the village, but the leader did not see me because I was hiding on the big pine tree in front of the grave of the leader of the village. I watched the master of the village worship the master of the village with my own eyes, and I also heard what the master of the village said.
Some words.”
"What? You dare to sneak into the back mountain to spy, what do you want? Who are you?" Gao Muqing changed his face and shouted in a stern voice.
"Master Dazhai, please be patient. Who am I and I will report the truth truthfully, but what I want to tell Master Dazhai at this moment is about the cause of death of the old village master. Before I tell the story, I have two questions for Dazhai
host."
Gao Muqing glared at Lin Jue fiercely, biting her red lips and saying nothing. Lin Jue ignored her and asked himself: "The first question is, how was the old village master before his death? Did he have any hidden diseases or emergencies?
?”
Gao Muqing said coldly: "Although my father is over fifty, his body is better than that of a young and strong person. My father is skilled in martial arts, and his fists can break monuments and break stones. In my impression, my father is as strong as a mountain.
I have never had any illness. Not even a minor illness."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Okay, then the second question is, since the old village master is in good health and has no emergency, then the old village master suddenly died of illness, doesn't the big village master have doubts in his heart? Isn't there a secret investigation into this matter?"
Gao Muqing frowned and said, "How could I not doubt it? I asked my father's best brother, Uncle Yun, the military advisor of the village, to check the cause of my father's death. After the examination, Uncle Yun told me that my father died suddenly and suddenly. He said,
Precisely because Dad had never been sick before, we had no idea what kind of hidden disease he had. Suddenly, he became sick like a mountain, and he died all of a sudden."
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Do you believe this explanation?"
Gao Muqing glared at Lin Jue and said: "Uncle Yun is my father's best brother. They stayed here together and jointly managed the village to its current level. He is my father's most trusted brother and the person I respect the most. Among the villagers
Apart from my father, the only person I trust deeply is Uncle Yun."
Lin Jue shook his head and sighed: "People are separated from each other, and no one knows what another person is thinking. The leader of the village actually has such thoughts, which is really speechless."
Gao Muqing glared at Lin Jue and scolded: "Are you here to teach me how to behave?"
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "I don't dare. I just think you should go check your father's body yourself instead of entrusting others to do it. After all, seeing is believing."
Gao Muqing's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Jue without saying a word. Lin Jue suddenly understood and nodded: "I understand, there are differences between men and women. Even though they are father and daughter, they cannot check it themselves."
Gao Muqing said coldly: "You only said you asked two questions, but you have already asked a lot. Now should you honestly explain what you know?"
Lin Jue nodded and said: "That's natural, but before that I have one more request."
Gao Muqing said angrily: "You seem to be challenging my endurance. If you continue to act mysterious, believe it or not, I will chop off your dog's head with a sword. You will never be able to speak again."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "To make me unable to speak, all you need to do is cut out my tongue. Beheading is just a big fuss."
"You..." Gao Muqing reached out and drew his sword.
Lin Jue said hurriedly: "No, no, listen to me. I just ask you not to get angry after listening to my words, let alone impulsively chop me with a sword, because in order to find out the cause of your father's death, I made an offense."
Regarding the matter of your father’s spirit in heaven, I hope you can understand. I also want the truth about your father’s death to be known to the world.”
"What did you do?" Gao Muqing said angrily.
"You promise me first that you won't be angry with me because of this." Lin Jue insisted.
"I promise you, just say it." Gao Muqing was really helpless when facing this man who looked like candy in front of her. She had already decided that after this man finished what he said, she would personally escort him to poison him.
Long Tan, push him down with your own hands and let him negotiate terms with Du Long.
"Do you want me to throw the sword out the door so that you can rest assured?" Gao Muqing said sarcastically.
"The leader of the stronghold is a big shot. He keeps his promise and will not regret it if he agrees. There is no need to throw the sword away. The leader of the stronghold can kill me with his bare hands. I know that the leader of the stronghold is superb in martial arts and I have no way of fighting back."
Powerful."
"As long as you understand, why don't you tell me quickly?"
Lin Jue smacked his lips, coughed, and after doing his best, he slowly opened his mouth and told the story of how he led his people up the back mountain and dug up the grave of the old village leader. Gao Muqing was shocked.
, his face was livid, and his eyes were full of anger. This man actually dug up his father's grave secretly. Poor father had to be dug up and his bones exposed after his death. This man could no longer be thrown into the Poison Dragon Pond. This man
People have to cut off his flesh inch by inch, skin him, pull out his sinews and bones, and finally chop him into meat paste.
Lin Jue looked at Gao Muqing's terrifying face and eyes, and was secretly frightened in her heart. Her body was already prepared. Once Gao Muqing rushed to kill her, she had to have a counterattack. Although she had promised not to get angry just now.
, but what she did was probably making it difficult for her to control herself, because it was too much.
"Master of the Dazhai, don't be impulsive. What I said was just to find out the cause of your father's death so that he could be vindicated. I have absolutely no disrespect. We have also restored the tomb and burned incense and kowtowed to comfort your father's spirit in heaven. Your father should understand me.
action."
"Tell me, what did you find?" Gao Muqing gritted his teeth and said word by word.
"Your Majesty was murdered, that's the conclusion we came to." Lin Jue said softly.
Gao Muqing's whole body was trembling. He gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Jue. He squeezed out a few words through his teeth and said, "Why...see?"
"The ribs of your father's body were broken eight times, five on the left and three on the right. This was caused by an external attack. But this is not the cause of your death. The real cause of death is... your father was poisoned with mercury.
There was mercury infiltration, which is the real cause of your father's death. This is the result we found out by opening the coffin."
Gao Muqing could no longer hold on, and trembled as she moved her steps and collapsed into a chair. She covered her face with her hands and lowered her head, trembling uncontrollably. Tears rolled out from between her fingers.
Lin Jue stood there quietly, neither stepping forward to persuade nor uttering any words of comfort. He just stood quietly and said nothing. He knew that Gao Muqing did not need anyone's comfort at this moment. In fact, Gao Muqing must have been doubting the cause of his father's death.
, but everyone around her said that there was nothing unusual about the death of the old village leader. Then when she suddenly heard these words from herself, she was naturally shocked and sad. But in fact, it was in response to the suspicion in her heart.
After a long time, Gao Muqing raised her head, with tears on her face. She wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, regained her calm expression, and said in a deep voice to Lin Jue: "I can't believe what you say, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I
I have to see it with my own eyes before I can accept your words."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Of course, but that would disturb your father's body again."
"In order to make the truth known to the world, I can only do that. I believe that my father's spirit in heaven will forgive me for my decision. You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I will cut you into pieces with a knife, because you have harmed
I did something treasonous and unethical."
Lin Jue sighed softly: "Master Dazhai, why should I lie? Am I full enough? If it weren't for the fact that I need Dazhai Master's help for some things, I wouldn't have bothered to investigate these things. After all, this is Guishan Island
What happened in the cottage has nothing to do with me."
Gao Muqing sneered: "You didn't come to join the gang at all, did you? You came here for other reasons."
Lin Jue nodded slowly and said: "The leader of Dazhai is right. I came here for other things. Don't worry, I will tell you everything. But now, I think we should go to the back mountain to verify it first.
