In the pine forest at the back of the mountain, Lin Jue led several uneasy-looking female soldiers to dig up Gao Yuankui's grave again. Because the soil had been moved last time, it went smoothly this time, and the coffin was dug quickly. When he saw
When the big hole in the coffin was blocked by branches, Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue with a look that was almost murderous.
Lin Jue knew that he was in the wrong. Before opening the big hole, he took the initiative to worship at the tomb and murmured some truth. Then with Gao Muqing's permission, Lin Jue removed the branches and exposed the coffin.
entrance of the cave.
Like last time, Lin Jue took out the small piece of bone and asked Gao Muqing to see with his own eyes the fracture of the bones. After doing all this, Gao Muqing turned pale and his body was shaky. Finally he knelt down in front of the grave and cried bitterly.
Got up.
"Dad, my daughter is unfilial. You were murdered and died. My daughter was kept in the dark and failed to avenge you. My daughter is unfilial." Gao Mu Qingzhu burst into tears and cried.
Lin Juerong cried bitterly for a while, and finally couldn't help but said: "Master of the village, you have seen everything with your own eyes, now is not the time to cry. The old master of the village was murdered, and a decision should be made on this matter."
Gao Muqing stopped crying, wiped away her tears and gritted her teeth and said: "You are right, I will find out who murdered my father, and I vow to cut him into pieces to comfort my father's spirit in heaven."
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Dazhai Master, please forgive me. When the old village master died suddenly, wasn't the Dazhai Master not around? Didn't he notice something strange?"
Gao Muqing shook his head and said: "That day I took Qiu Ju to play in Chuzhou. After I got the news, I rushed back immediately, but my father had already gone, and he didn't even leave a word."
Lin Jue said: "Does the leader of Dazhai have any doubts in his mind?"
Gao Muqing nodded, but then shook his head. He frowned and said, "I can't doubt others without any evidence. I'm afraid it won't be easy to find out this matter, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get started at once. I need to think about it carefully.
"
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "What's there to think about? The breakthrough is obvious. The leader of the village is too sad and shocked, so his thinking is unclear."
Gao Muqing hurriedly asked: "Where do you mean to start checking?"
Lin Jue sighed softly and said: "Obviously, your Uncle Yun is very suspicious. He told lies, he lied to you, and he is the breakthrough point."
Gao Muqing suddenly raised his forehead and said: "Oh, yes, why did I forget about this? Why did Uncle Yun lie to me? He wanted to hide the truth, so dad's death must be related to him. Yes, let's start with him.
.”
Lin Jue said: "How does the leader of the village plan to investigate?"
Gao Muqing said: "I'm going to question him and see how he makes excuses."
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "Master of the Dazhai, have you ever thought about it, this matter may not be so simple. If it is really your uncle Yun who did it, it would be fine. If your uncle Yun is just covering up for others, it will be ignored by others."
Bribery. If you go and question me, won't you just scare off the enemy?"
Gao Muqing frowned and said, "That's right, what should we do?"
Lin Jue said: "I am not talented, but I am willing to plan this matter for the leader of the village. As long as the master of the village trusts me, I will get to the bottom of it."
Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue blankly, and finally asked for the third time: "Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to my village?"
Lin Jue felt that the time had come, and he no longer concealed his identity. He told Gao Muqing the reasons why he came to the village, and told Gao Muqing that he came for the two birthday gifts. At the end, Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Master of the village,
What I can’t figure out is why your Guishan Island copycat is so audacious. Do you know the seriousness of this incident? If you can’t get back the birthday gift within the time limit this time, the prince of Hangzhou and a group of officials, and even my Lin family, will certainly have some
A lot of people are going to be unlucky, but after things break out, how can the imperial court still tolerate the cancer of your Guishan Island cottage? You have become a thorn in the imperial court's side. This time, the army will surely press the border and you will not be destroyed.
You vow not to give up. Although this fortification is very strong, can it withstand the imperial court's determination to destroy you? What you are robbing is the Queen Mother's birthday gift. Where is the majesty of the royal family and where can you put your face? It's really not possible.
I know what you think."
Gao Muqingzi listened carefully to Lin Jue's narration. She was surprised that Lin Jue was just a son of the Lin family in Hangzhou. He had the courage to come to her village to take back the birthday gift. Is this young man crazy? However, Gao Muqing also vaguely wondered.
I feel that Lin Jue is a courageous person. Judging from the things he did when he entered the village, he may not be just a rich young man as he imagined.
"The leader of the second village did this without telling me. When I found out, it had already happened. Although I reprimanded them a few times, it didn't help. To tell you the truth, the military power of the second village now lies with the second village.
In the hands of the master, although I am not the master of the village, I am just a female generation, and I have never thought of becoming the master of the village. After my father passed away, if they had not recommended me, I would not be the master of the village. Of course, I
I also don’t want the copycat created by my father to fall into the hands of others.”
"Master of the big village, can you tell me who covets the position of master of the village? Is it the master of the second village?"
"It's him. He actually wanted to be the leader of this village for a long time. Everyone knows this. But my father once told me before his death that he had evil intentions and the village could not fall into his hands, so I agreed to a few
With the recommendation of my uncle, I became the leader of the village. But now, actually the person who calls the shots in the village is not me, but him." Gao Muqing did not hide anything and told the current situation in the village.
"This second village master seems to be very capable. Not only does he want to take over the master of the village, but he also wants to pick the flowers in the village?" Lin Jue said with a smile.
Gao Muqing naturally understood what Lin Jue meant, and spat with a slightly red face: "That is his wishful thinking, and he will never succeed."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "When he completely controls the village, I'm afraid he won't be able to help the master of the village."
Gao Muqing said coldly: "Hmph, how dare he do it? Can he do it by force? I don't think he has the guts."
Lin Jue was silent and thought to himself: He doesn't have the courage? Maybe he killed your father, so wouldn't he have the courage?
"Master of the village, we have made our words clear. Let me draw the line now. I will do my best to help you find out the real culprit behind the murder of the old village master, and maybe... maybe I can take back control of the village for you. In exchange,
,you must……"
"Return those two birthday gifts? Okay, it's settled." Gao Muqing interrupted in a sweet voice.
Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "The leader of Dazhai is a cheerful person, so we have made an agreement. From now on, all actions will be planned by me. The first thing is that the leader of Dazhai will send someone to my team to make an announcement.
The order was given... transfer me to the leader of the village to work on errands. I must plan beside the leader of the village. Time is tight. I don’t want to be trapped at the bottom of the mountain anymore. It will be difficult to even come up by then."
Gao Muqing nodded and said: "Although I have never had a man on errands by my side, I have to make an exception this time. Qiu Ju, please go down the mountain in person, say hello to your outpost camp, and get this matter done."
Lin Jue said: "I still have a few friends, it's best to recruit them together."
Gao Muqing shook his head and said: "You are the only one, but I can't allow your people to come in. Assembling many people will also make people suspicious. You also said that you can't alert the snake."
Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "Forget it, let's not bring them in for now. Then, the second thing is that we immediately restore the old village master's tomb and rush back. You can find a reason to hold a banquet tonight and invite your Yun
Uncle Yun is here for the banquet. We want to have a good meeting with you, Uncle Yun."
…
As night falls, the lights in the village are lit up one after another. The lights in the small building where Gao Muqing, the leader of the village, lives are also lit up. In the hall, a banquet has been set up. There is no shortage of supplies in the village, so the banquet is dazzling.
It's not much better than the banquets in the most upscale restaurants in Hangzhou.
Gao Muqing sat quietly in the hall, with his head lowered in deep thought. Lin Jue sat opposite her, drinking tea sips at a time, with no joy or worry on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking in his heart.
There was the sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Qiu Ju quickly stepped in to report: "Master of Dazhai, Military Advisor Yun has crossed the bridge and is almost outside the courtyard."
Gao Muqing was slightly startled and looked at Lin Jue. Lin Jue stood up and said, "Then I'll stay out of the way first. The leader of the village will follow what we discussed before and try to trick him and see what he says. In short, we must tonight
Dig out some powerful information from your uncle Yun."
Gao Muqing nodded and said solemnly: "Okay, I'll ask you to take shelter in the wing next door."
Lin Jue stood up and left. Gao Muqing stretched out his hands to comb his hair, stood up and looked towards the door of the hall. After a moment, he heard the sound of footsteps in the yard and a high-pitched voice.
"Oh, how can the eldest lady be so polite and specially invite me to the banquet? Is this some happy event?"
While he was talking, a thin middle-aged man wearing a cotton robe appeared under the light at the entrance of the hall. This man was wearing a robe, two strands of black beard, and a square scarf on his head. He was holding a folding fan in his hand even in the cold weather.
He is rather bookish. He looks quite elegant, like a white-faced scholar.
"Uncle Yun said this. Can't you invite Uncle Yun to the banquet if you have nothing to do? Uncle Yun and my father are close friends. Now that my father is gone, my niece invites Uncle Yun to come often and have family dinners.
, and it should be." Gao Muqing smiled and stepped forward to bow.
The middle-aged man returned the gift with his hands, nodded and smiled: "That's right, that's right. I haven't been to your place for a long time. I really should come and sit here more often. Although your father has passed away, I, Yun Haiqing, have passed away.
I will always remember him, and I will also remember you, my niece."
Gao Muqing smiled and said: "Uncle Yun has loved me since I was a child. How could Mu Qing forget it? Uncle Yun, please take a seat. Today I have prepared your favorite roast mutton and bamboo leaf greens."
Yun Haiqing laughed and entered, walked to the banquet table, looked at the fine wine and food on the table with wide eyes, sniffed and laughed: "Haha, they are all my favorite dishes. Miss Yun is so interested.
How dare you do that."
"It's just some dishes, what else do you dare to serve? Uncle Yun has worked hard for the village and worked hard and thought all day long. How can he still not afford this banquet?"
Gao Muqing stretched out her slender hand to signal Yun Haiqing to take a seat. Yun Haiqing thanked him and sat down on the seat with a sigh of relief.
