The hall was reorganized, and the overturned tables, chairs and benches were rearranged. A half-eaten banquet was in a mess, and they were all removed at this moment. Yun Haiqing sat tied up on the chair, and someone even applied medicine to the wound. But he was bleeding too much Duo, his face was pale, and there was dried blood at the corner of his mouth. Coupled with the messy hair that was chopped off by Lin Jue, the whole person looked like an idiot.
"Tell me, you just said that Qiu Biao came to the village with a purpose, and he seems to have some background. Tell me everything you know about who he is." Gao Muqing sat quietly under the candlelight opposite. asked.
Yun Hai said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I'll tell you, I hope you won't be scared. Do you think Qiu Biao is an ordinary person? It's really like what he said when he took refuge in the village, he just killed a few people Were the imperial officials forced to join the gang? Have you ever heard of the nickname Hai Dongqing?"
"Haitongqing?" Lin Jue knew nothing about this. In addition to his experience in the previous life, he did not know these characters in the world. In Lin Jue's consciousness, Haidongqing was just the name of a falcon.
But in the ears of Dazhai leader Gao Muqing, the name Haidongqing does not represent a kind of falcon. It represents a name that is as shocking as thunder among the bandits in the green forest. Haidong Qingjiang Ruiyuan, the name in the green forest A legendary figure and a close confidant of the imperial court. He commanded more than 20,000 pirates who were entrenched on more than a dozen islands along the coast of eastern Zhejiang. They harassed the mainland all year round and robbed merchant ships. He was highly skilled in martial arts and invincible. Hundreds of miles of sea were his territory, and he was the emperor of the sea in eastern Zhejiang during the Zhou Dynasty. Because of his vicious methods, he killed people without blinking an eye, just like Haidongqing swallowing the skin and bones when hunting, and everything He didn't stay, so he was nicknamed Haidongqing.
The Guishan Island cottage was a relatively large bandit den in the mainland of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There were hundreds of green forest cottages in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, most of which were small-scale fights without success. The Guishan Island cottage was the more organized and large-scale among them, although it was only There are only thousands of people, but the imperial court has been unable to wipe them out. What's more, there are large groups of pirates led by Jiang Ruiyuan who are entrenched on the islands on the coast of eastern Zhejiang. On the green forest road, the name of Jiang Ruiyuan and Haidongqing is so popular that I don't know. He was the idol of many little bandits who were kings of the mountains. Because the imperial court was powerless against Hai Dongqing and allowed him to stay on the islands in eastern Zhejiang for decades, but there was never even a single successful siege.
As the daughter of the previous head of the village, Gao Muqing naturally knew the name Hai Dongqing. She was familiar with the famous figures on the Green Forest Road. Gao Muqing was really surprised when she heard such a name.
After explaining to Lin Jue in a low voice, Lin Jue was also very surprised. Lin Jue still knew about the pirates in eastern Zhejiang. There are twenty or thirty islands under the jurisdiction of Wengshan County at the mouth of Hangzhou, all of which are occupied by pirates. The Lin family is a large merchant in sea trade, so they are naturally very concerned about pirates, because all the ships that go to foreign countries for trade are only worried about wind, waves and pirates. Gui. Lin Jue actually heard something in private, that is, the wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou secretly gave money to pirates to buy passage, which was to use money to buy peace and ensure the safety of their own merchant ships. The Lin family may have done the same thing.
"Does it surprise you? Are you scared? The second village leader Qiu Biao...hey, he doesn't believe in Qiu, and his name is not Qiu Biao. His real name is Jiang Jingui, and he is the youngest son of Haidong Qingjiang Ruiyuan.
He came to Guishan Dao Village to join the gang, not to be the second village master, nor to be the adopted son of the old village master. He came to do a big thing on the orders of Hai Dongqing." Yun Haiqing was proud.
He said proudly, he was very satisfied with the surprised expressions of the two people in front of him. He knew that once this secret was told, it would naturally have such a shocking effect.
Lin Jue was okay. After all, the matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn't have any special knowledge about Haidongqing. Naturally, he didn't understand the key inside. But even so, Lin Jue still realized that things seemed to have become very serious.
It's complex and subtle.
"What is his purpose of sneaking into the village to deceive my father's trust?" Gao Muqing asked in a deep voice.
"My eldest niece, Hai Dongqing's ambition is not young. The current imperial court is ignorant and immoral, and the people of the world are suffering from it. Hai Dongqing wants to relieve the people's injustice, do justice for heaven, and ask for life for the people of the world. As early as ten years ago,
The islands in eastern Zhejiang have already begun to prepare for the war in the world. But you know, it is not an exaggeration to make such preparations for ten or twenty years. In recent years, preparations have been stepped up, so Haidongqing sent out
He recruited his own capable men and entered the large and small green forest villages all over the Great Zhou Dynasty. The purpose was very obvious, which was to concentrate the power of all the copycat villages and overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty. Haidongqing was really a hero in the world, how big this must be.
Such courage and ambition.”
When Yun Haiqing was praising and admiring him, Lin Jue and Gao Muqing both felt their hearts skip a beat and their hearts sank. The general outline of the matter had been drawn up. It turned out that it was not Qiu Biao who was ambitious, but Hai Dongqing behind him who was actively preparing.
There was a big rebellion. They wanted to unite all the forces that could be united, so they sent people to contact each village. Jiang Jingui, whose pseudonym was Qiu Biao, was ordered to come to Guishan Island to contact the old village leader Gao Yuankui.
.
"It's a pity, it's a pity. Your father is a deadbeat. Although he is in the village, he keeps talking about things all day long, 'Don't overdo it, and leave a way out. One day, the court will recruit you when the opportunity comes.
, you can get rid of your identity as a bandit by then' and so on. Your father is a hero, but he is a selfish hero. So many people followed him to settle here, but what he thinks about is his reputation after death, and he also wants to recruit An Neng to the court to honor his ancestors.
After the second village leader had a showdown with him, he not only angrily denounced the second village master, but also wanted to drive the second village master out of the village. Who is Qiu Biao? If he can't be soft, he can only be tough. Since his identity
It was exposed that the copycat would not tolerate him, so he had no choice but to kill people. Because the Guishan Island copycat was extremely important to Haidongqing, if it surrendered, it could become a tentacle firmly blocking the canal, making it difficult for the soldiers and horses from the north.
Quickly reinforce the south. Therefore, Qiu Biao poisoned your father."
Gao Muqing's hands began to tremble, and a few words popped out of his teeth: "How did he murder my father."
"Didn't you find out? That day while you were in Chuzhou, Qiu Biao went to see your father and begged your father for the last time to agree to join forces. Your father scolded Qiu Biao and told him to get out immediately.
After leaving the village, Qiu Biao poured the bottle of mercury poison he brought into the incense burner. Your father suffers from insomnia and takes requiem tablets to fall asleep every night. This is known to everyone."
Gao Muqing clenched her hands tightly, her breathing began to quicken, and her eyes began to turn red.
"At night, the mercury poison in the incense burner evaporated due to heat, and your father was immediately poisoned. But he was also strong enough. After knowing that he was poisoned, he quickly held his breath and crawled outside. Qiu Biao was guarding the door. As soon as your father came out,
Qiu Biao kicked your father back into the house with two kicks. Several ribs were broken under his ribs. Didn't you also find out? But in the end, your father died of mercury poisoning. That was because,
There won't be any difference in the face for a short period of time in such a way of death. If it were any other way of death, it would inevitably show traces. This is why you were called back quickly. What you didn't know was that on the day of the burial, your father's face was already
It’s all black and blue.”
What Yun Haiqing said was a little difficult. After all, he and Gao Yuankui had known each other for many years. Even though he was very dissatisfied with him, they had lived and died together day and night several times, and they had feelings to some extent. Talking about the situation that night, Yun Haiqing also
I feel my heartbeat is racing and my throat is extremely dry.
Hearing this, Gao Muqing could no longer hold back her tears. The tears rolled down like a collapsed floodgate and wetted her clothes.
"Dad, you died so tragically and unjustly. My daughter will avenge you." Gao Muqing stood up suddenly, unsheathed his sword with a sound of Canglang, and rushed towards Yun Haiqing.
"No, Master of the Dazhai. The matter has not been clarified yet." Lin Jue shouted hurriedly. Gao Muqing's sword was still a few inches away from Yun Haiqing's throat, but he stopped abruptly because of these words.
Lin Jue stepped forward quickly and whispered: "Please return to your seat, Master of Dazhai."
Gao Muqing glared at Lin Jue fiercely, turned around and went back to his seat, lowered his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a silk handkerchief. Lin Jue looked at Yun Haiqing, who was still smiling and said: "Master Yun, you actually know so clearly, you must
At the scene. Didn't your old brother plead with you?"
Yun Haiqing frowned and opened his mouth without speaking. Of course he was present at the scene that night. He went to see Gao Yuankui with Qiu Biao. But in fact, he did not know that Qiu Biao had already done something. Gao Yuankui and he also
He scolded him and said that he should not follow Qiu Biao to help him as a lobbyist. To be honest, Yun Haiqing was very angry at the time, but when he saw Gao Yuankui holding his throat and rushing out of the room with bloodshot eyes, he witnessed
When Qiu Biao kicked him back into the room, Yun Haiqing almost rushed to dissuade him. But he didn't do it after all. He still remembers Gao Yuankui's eyes. There was disappointment, sadness, and anger in his eyes.
, pain and confusion. It was the most unforgettable look he had ever seen in his life. He had seen those eyes in nightmares countless times over the past year.
"Well, people like you naturally have no humanity and no sense of friendship. It doesn't really matter whether you take action or not. You are an accomplice and one of the murderers of the old village leader's death. I'm just curious, how did you do it?
Who knows Qiu Biao’s background, and how did he get together with him?” Lin Jue asked in a deep voice.
Yun Haiqing did not hide anything, and said in a deep voice: "I was the first to notice Qiu Biao's strangeness. When he was the leader of Zuoying in the inner village, I accidentally saw him several times setting up a boat alone from the beach under the cliff of the back mountain.
I left. I was very curious, so I followed him again. It wasn’t until I followed him to a small fishing village in the west of Huxi and saw him meeting people. I overheard their conversation and found out that Qiu Biao turned out to be Haidong Qing.
people."
"I was going to report it to the old village leader immediately, but I wanted to know the details of the matter, so I continued to follow Qiu Biao, but I didn't expect to be discovered by him. That time he deliberately lured me to follow him, and then we
After fighting, he restrained me with only seven moves. In that situation, I had to give in. Besides, after I learned that he was the son of Hai Dongqing, I planned to follow them to do great things. Qiu Biao promised
I can't refuse if they ask me to be prime minister or privy councilor in the future. I also want to do something big, but it's a pity that the old village leader refuses to do it. Good birds choose trees to live in, and I can only choose others."
Lin Jue nodded and said in a deep voice: "What you said is so nice. Why do good birds choose trees to roost? Aren't you also doing it for power, status and reputation? After all, you don't want to bear the identity of a bandit. You just laughed at me.
The old village leader thinks about recruiting people all day long, and thinks about honoring the ancestors all day long, aren't you the same?"
Yun Haiqing thought for a while, nodded and said: "You are right, I am actually such a person, I don't deny it. I have told you everything you want to know, and there is nothing to hide anymore. I will kill you or cut you into pieces as you please.
Yes, but please give me pleasure. But if you are willing to spare my life, maybe I can help you. You should know what you are facing."
Yun Haiqing's last words were actually a sign of weakness. Anyone who keeps saying they are not afraid of death will collapse immediately when death is imminent. Yun Haiqing may be such a person. Lin Jue, who saw this, showed his last respect to Yun Haiqing.
Disappeared completely.
"I have one last question. After I answer it, I will decide how to deal with you." Lin Jue said.
