Liu Dabao swallowed the beef and took a sip of wine, with a slight drunkenness on his face. looked at Lin Jue and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lin, don't you know, there is actually only one master of this Guishan Island cottage, and that is the owner of the second village." After our old village master died of illness last year, the position of the village master was passed to the eldest lady. But the eldest lady is a woman, how can she restrain thousands of brothers in this cottage. The second village owner is the righteous son of the old village owner, who will take care of him regardless of things? In addition, the second village master has hands and eyes, and it is not much better than the old village owner. The martial arts are high, the courage is big, there are many friends, and there are many methods. Our cottage people also obey him. The owner of the big village is just a name, and the second owner of the village is the real master of the cottage, understand? ”

Lin Jue suddenly realized. Before I came, I knew the news that Gao Yuankui, the original owner of the Guishan Island cottage, died of illness last year, but I didn't know which one would succeed him. But it turned out that Gao Yuankui actually had a daughter who took over the position of the owner of the village. Naturally, a woman can't be in charge of the affairs of the cottage, and this Gao Yuankui's righteous son has become the owner of the second village, and it is reasonable for him to be in charge of the cottage.

"Brother, I'm afraid you don't know yet, our second village master and the big village master will be a family sooner or later. Everyone in the cottage knows that the owner of the second village likes the owner of the big village very much, and the owner of the big village somehow refuses to agree. In the past, when the old owner of the village was there, this thing didn't work out, but it was strangely tight. But now that the old village owner has passed away, the big village owner is helpless, and the second village owner will become the owner of the village sooner or later, and the owner of the village will become the lady of the village sooner or later, haha. Liu Dabao was slightly drunk, and finally began to automatically open the conversation without Lin Jue asking.

"The master of the village is really a ...... is really a great beauty, that appearance is really hard to find in the sky and hard to find in the ground. I am an old man in the cottage, and I have seen it grow from a little girl to a big beauty. Tsk, it's really a flower on our Guishan Island. It's a pity that it's a thorny Yueji, a martial artist, and a proud temperament, no one dares to look at her more. Brother Lin, don't you know that the master of the big village has the true inheritance of the old village master, and his martial arts are extremely high. Except for the second owner, I am afraid that none of them are her opponents. Although the owner of the second village also wanted to drool, but he didn't dare to mess around, hey, hey, this is called the cat smelling fishy and itchy, but unfortunately the fish are in the water, you can see it, you can't catch it. ”

Liu Dabao is obviously drunk, and he has no scruples when he speaks, and his words are obscene and funny. The more Lin Jue listened to him, the more he understood the things in the cottage, and then he not only knew that the name of the second village master was Qiu Biao, but also knew that in fact, the second village master came to the cottage halfway. In an operation of officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the cottage three years ago, Qiu Biao, the owner of the second village, led people to defeat a main force of the official army and smashed the encirclement and suppression action of the imperial court, so he won the trust of Gao Yuankui. After being promoted, he showed his ability to take care of the cottage, and was accepted as a righteous son by Gao Yuankui. Lin Jue also knew, in fact, the second village master did not control all the cottages, the daughter of the big village master Gao Yuankui was elected as the master of the big village by Gao Yuankui's old brothers, originally after Gao Yuankui's sudden death, Qiu Biao had the idea of seizing the position of the village owner, it was taken by the power of the rest of the old village owner, so he did not dare to act rashly.

In short, after drinking the wine, this Liu Dabao's mouth was like water that opened the floodgates, and he couldn't close it, whether it was true or fake, and what he didn't, he said it through hearsay, and he said it with his own eyes. Lin Jue teased and inspired him on the side, which increased his interest in talking, and squeezed the water in his stomach like a sponge.

……

In the lake bandit barracks on the mountainside, Lin Jue was lying on the bed, and the bandits patrolling at night around him were snoring, but Lin Jue was not sleepy. After listening to Liu Dabao's words last night, Lin Jue has been analyzing the situations he said. From it, Lin Jue smelled some unusual information.

First of all, it is about the second village master Qiu Biao. It seems that this person seems to have some skills, and he currently has the highest reputation among the bandits on Guishan Island. Then, some of the decisions of the cottage should also be made by him. In other words, the Queen Mother's birthday boat should have been robbed by his order.

According to the information obtained before coming, when Gao Yuankui, the owner of the old village on Guishan Island, was alive, although the bandits on Guishan Island were also arrogant, their fame rose because they repelled the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers several times. In other words, it's just a passive act of self-preservation. When Gao Yuankui was the owner of the village, the Guishan Island bandit village didn't seem to have much initiative to provoke, giving people the feeling that Gao Yuankui just wanted to use Guishan Island as a place to live. Officers and soldiers came to encircle and suppress, and in the face of such a crisis, Gao Yuankui would desperately resist.

And now, under the command of the second village master, the Guishan Island Lake bandits seem to have abandoned Gao Yuankui's original intention. Whether it was from the fact that they braved the world's condemnation to attack the Cao transport fleet and hijack the birthday gift ships, or that day they listened to the words of the living king of Hades to take over the world and become a dragon court, it all showed that this cottage was already extremely aggressive.

Why is Qiu Biao so bold? With this Guishan Island, only two thousand lake bandits dare to do this

Dry? Could this Qiu Biao be a madman? There's definitely an article here.

Second, Liu Dabao's words last night revealed a lot of information, including a few words about the death of the old villager. Although Liu Dabao's words were unknown, Lin Jue could hear that there were actually some doubts in Liu Dabao's words. Gao Yuankui, the owner of the old village, was originally born in martial arts, and his body was burly and strong. He was in his early thirties when he fell into the grass, and he was only in his early fifties when he passed away last year. In his fifties, he can be called a prime of life for ordinary people, not to mention Gao Yuankui, who has a strong martial arts body. Liu Dabao said that the owner of the old village took people to practice water warfare a few days ago, and his strength and spirit were very strong, but for some reason, the news came that he had died of a violent illness overnight. This is Liu Dabao's doubt, and naturally it is also Lin Jue's doubt.

The reason why Lin Jue lingered in his heart was because he learned that the cottage was not monolithic. The lord of Dazhai is the daughter of Gao Yuankui, and was elected as the lord of Dazhai by Gao Yuankui's old subordinates. And since this Qiu Biao has the heart of being the owner of the village, what will he think? Since this Qiu Biao is so capable, why don't all these people recommend him as the owner of the village? And since Qiu Biao is interested in Gao Yuankui's daughter, he is deeply appreciated by Gao Yuankui, so he and Gao Yuankui will not marry his daughter to him when he is alive? After all, whether it is as a capable talent to win over his subordinates, or for the sake of the future of the cottage, Gao Yuankui has no reason to disagree. Does he still expect that the daughter of the bandit leader can marry a wealthy family and have a stable life?

The more Lin Jue thought about this matter, the more he felt that there was a problem. There seems to be a faint thread interspersed between all the things, and that is the truth that can resolve doubts. And these, Liu Dabao naturally didn't know, all he knew was some fur, and Lin Jue could only dig out what he thought was valuable from these furs.

If you want to investigate the reason for the whole thing, Lin Jue thinks that the most critical place is to figure out one thing, that is, what kind of relationship is between Gao Yuankui's father and daughter and Qiu Biao. Is it really appreciation or something else. And it's actually difficult to figure this out, but there is a way to go, and that is to figure out the cause of Gao Yuankui's death. Lin Jue doesn't believe in the of sleeping to death, human life is indeed fragile, but sometimes it is very tenacious. Some people are terminally ill, but they can still live for three years and five years before they return. How can the death of a person who is physically strong, disease-free, and disaster-free be as simple as dying of violent illness. Unless it is a sudden emergency such as a cerebral hemorrhage, if it is not, it can only be murder.

Lin Jue didn't intend to let go of such suspicions, this matter didn't seem to have anything to do with the whole thing, but it was an excellent starting point. The situation is actually very clear, if the old village owner did not die a natural death, then who would murder him? Naturally, he is the one who hates him to the bone or the one who benefits the most after the death of the old village owner. Qiu Biao may not have a grudge against Gao Yuankui, but as soon as Gao Yuankui dies, he must be the one who benefits the most. Gao Yuankui has no children, he is Gao Yuankui's righteous son, and of course he can become the owner of the village. And Gao Yuankui is dead, and that flower-like righteous sister naturally has to rely on him.

The reason is not too strong, but it is definitely the motive. Now in the current situation where there is no progress, Lin Jue wants to open a breakthrough, but he can't let go of any doubts.

Lin Jue decided to investigate this matter, and the method of verification was very simple, he wanted to do something extremely risky and despised by the world.

He's going to dig a grave.

The best way to find out the cause of a person's death is, of course, to find someone in the know and find out the truth. But Lin Jue did not have this condition. Then the exhumation of the body is another possible means to get the truth.

Liu Dabao said that the owner of the old village was buried on the cliff of the back mountain in the north of the island, and as the bandit leader of Guishan Island, he could only be buried here, and there was no possibility of returning to the roots. But it was a forbidden area, and Lin Jue could only sneak in quietly. I have to patrol at night, and I have to do it during the day, so it's quite difficult. But no matter how difficult it is, Lin Jue has to do it, otherwise there will never be a breakthrough. It has been more than half a month since he came to the island, and a month is the agreed time, if he can't make contributions, King Liang can only take strong offensive means. However, I thought that this Guishan Island cottage could be combined inside and outside, and thousands of soldiers and horses could attack and take it, but during this time, Lin Jue knew that the possibility of success was very small with the understanding of the cottage and the pattern, terrain, defense and other aspects of the cottage.

However, the longer this matter dragged on, the more it could not be concealed. When the time to delay the arrival of the birthday gift in the capital is no longer enough, then King Liang may have to explain the matter to the saint. The pressure from all sides forced Lin Jue to take decisive action and could no longer hesitate.
