In the pine forest of the back mountain, Lin Jue led a few female soldiers with uneasy expressions to dig Gao Yuankui's grave again. Because the earth had already been moved last time, this time it was relatively smooth, and the coffin was quickly dug up. When he saw the big hole in the coffin that was covered by branches, Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue's eyes and almost killed.

Lin Jue knew that he was at a loss, and before opening the big hole, he took the initiative to worship at the grave, muttering a big truth. Then, with Gao Muqing's permission, Lin Jue removed those branches, revealing the hole in the coffin.

Just like last time, Lin Jue took out the small piece of bone and asked Gao Muqing to see with his own eyes the broken bones of the corpse. After doing all this, Gao Muqing's face turned pale and his body was shaky. At last he fell to his knees in front of the grave and wept bitterly.

"Daddy, my daughter is not filial, you were murdered and died, my daughter was kept in the dark, I failed to avenge you, my daughter is not filial." Gao Muqingzhu burst into tears and cried.

Lin Jue allowed her to cry for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Master of the village, you have seen everything with your own eyes, now is not the time to cry." The owner of the old village was murdered by others, and this matter should be decided. ”

Gao Muqing stopped his grief, wiped away his tears and gritted his teeth: "You're right, I will find out who murdered my father, and vow to break his body into thousands of pieces to comfort my father's spirit in the sky." ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Lord of the Great Village, with all due respect. When the old village owner died suddenly, wasn't the big village owner by his side, didn't he notice something wrong? ”

Gao Muqing shook his head and said: "That day, I took Qiu Ju to Chuzhou to play, and I rushed back immediately after getting the news, but my father had already gone, and I didn't leave a word." ”

Lin Jue said: "Is there anyone suspicious in the mind of the master of the village? ”

Gao Muqing nodded, but shook his head again. frowned and said, "Before I have credentials, I can't suspect others at will." It is not easy to find out about this matter, and for a while, I am afraid it will be difficult to start. I need to think about it. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "What is there to think about?" The breakthrough is obvious, the owner of the village is too sad and shocked, so the thinking is not clear. ”

Gao Muqing hurriedly said: "Where do you mean to start?" ”

Lin Jue sighed lightly and said, "Obviously, that Uncle Yun of yours is very suspicious. He lied, he lied to you, and he was the breakthrough. ”

Gao Muqing suddenly raised his forehead and said, "Oh, yes, why did I forget about it." Why did Uncle Yun lie to me? If he wants to hide the truth, then Daddy's death must have something to do with him. That's right, just start with him. ”

Lin Jue said: "How is the master of Dazhai going to check?" ”

Gao Muqing said: "I'll question him now and see how he quibbles." ”

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "Master Dazhai, have you ever thought that this matter may not be so simple. If it's really your Uncle Yun's hand, it doesn't matter, if your Uncle Yun just covers up for others and is bought by others. If you go to question, won't you startle the snake? ”

Gao Muqing frowned and said, "That's what I said, so what should I do?" ”

Lin Jue said: "I am not talented, I am willing to plan this matter for the lord of Dazhai, as long as the lord of Dazhai trusts me, I will find out." ”

Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue in a daze, and finally asked for the third time, "Who are you?" What do you want to come to my cottage? ”

Lin Jue felt that the time had come, he no longer concealed his identity, and told the cause and effect of his coming to the cottage, telling Gao Muqing that he was here for those two birthday gifts. At the end, Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Lord of the village, what I can't figure out is why your Guishan Island cottage is so bold, do you know the seriousness of this incident?" If you can't take back the birthday gift within the time limit this time, the prince of Hangzhou and a group of officials, and even my Lin family, of course, will have a large group of people who will be unlucky, but after the matter breaks out, how can the imperial court still tolerate the cancer of your Guishan Island cottage? You have become a thorn in the eye of the court, this time it will be a great army to overwhelm the border, and you will not give up if you are not destroyed. Although the fortifications of this cottage are very strong, can it withstand the ruthlessness of the court and destroy your determination? You are robbing the queen mother's birthday gift, where is the majesty of the royal family, where is the face? I don't know what you guys think. ”

Gao Muqingzai listened carefully to Lin Jue's narration, she was surprised that Lin Jue was actually just the son of the Lin family in Hangzhou, and he had the courage to come to his cottage to regain the birthday gift, is this little boy crazy. However, Gao Muqing also faintly felt that Lin Jue was a courageous person, judging from the things he did when he entered the cottage, I am afraid that it was not just the appearance of a rich boy as he imagined.

"This matter was done by the second village master without me, and when I knew it, it had already happened. I reprimanded them, but to no avail. I won't tell you the truth, now the military power of the cottage is in the hands of the second village owner, although I am not the master of the village, but I am only a woman, and I have never thought of being the owner of this village. After my father died, if I hadn't been recommended by them, I wouldn't have been the owner of this big village. Of course, I don't want my dad to create a cottage that falls into the hands of others. ”

"Dazhai master, can you tell me, who covets the position of the cottage master? Is it the owner of the second village? ”

"It's him, he actually wanted to be the owner of this village for a long time, this is something that everyone understands. But my father told me before his death that he was not right-minded and the cottage could not fall into his hands, so I agreed to the recommendation of several uncles and became the owner of the village. But now, in fact, the person in charge of the cottage is not me, it is him. Gao Muqing didn't hide it at all, and told the current situation in the cottage.

"This second village master seems to have a lot of ability, not only to take the master of the cottage, but also to pick the flowers in the cottage, right?" Lin Jue smiled.

Gao Muqing naturally understood what Lin Jue meant, and said with a slightly red face: "That's his wishful thinking, he will never think about it." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "When he completely masters the cottage, I'm afraid he won't be able to control the master of the village." ”

Gao Muqing said coldly: "Hmph, how dare he?" Can't use it strongly? He didn't have the guts. ”

Lin Jue was silent, and said in his heart: He doesn't have the guts? I wonder if he killed your father, would he not have the guts?

"Master Dazhai, we have made our words clear, and I will draw the line now. I'll do my best to help you find out the real culprit of the murder of the old village owner, perhaps...... Maybe take back control of the cottage for you. In exchange, you have to ......"

"Returning those two birthday gifts, right? Well, it's a word. Gao Muqing interrupted in a coquettish voice.

Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "The master of Dazhai is a cheerful person, so let's make a decision." From now on, everything is up to me. The first thing was that the lord of the village sent someone to my team to issue an order, and he said...... Transfer me to the side of the master of Dazhai on an errand. I have to plan by the side of the lord of the village, time is pressing, I don't want to be trapped at the bottom of the mountain anymore, it will be difficult to even come up when the time comes. ”

Gao Muqing nodded and said, "Although there has never been a man around me on an errand, this time I need to make an exception." Qiu Ju, you personally go down the mountain, say hello to your outpost camp, and finish this matter. ”

Lin Jue said: "I still have a few friends, it's best to mobilize them together." ”

Gao Muqing shook his head and said, "You are the only one, but I can't let those people of yours in." Mobilizing multiple people will also make people suspicious, and as you said, you can't startle the snake. ”

Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "Okay, don't transfer them in for the time being." Then, the second thing is that let's immediately restore the tomb of the old village owner and rush back, and you find a reason to hold a banquet tonight, and invite your Uncle Yun to come to the banquet. Let's have a good meeting with you, Uncle Yun. ”

……

As night falls, the lights in the cottage come on one after another. The small building where Gao Muqing, the owner of the big village, lived, was also lit up. In the hall, a table of banquets has been set up, and there is no shortage of materials in the cottage, so this table of banquets is dazzling, which is not much better than the banquet in the most exclusive restaurant in Hangzhou.

Gao Muqing sat quietly in the hall, bowing his head thoughtfully. Lin Jue sat opposite her, drinking tea one by one, his face was joyless and carefree, and he couldn't see what was going on in his heart.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Qiu Ju hurriedly came in to report: "Lord Dazhai, Master Yunjun is almost outside the courtyard after crossing the bridge." ”

Gao Muqing was slightly stunned and looked at Lin Jue. Lin Jue stood up and said, "Then avoid it first, and the lord of the big village will try to take his words as much as possible according to what we discussed before, and see what he says." In short, I have to dig up some fierce material from the mouth of this Uncle Yun of yours tonight. ”

Gao Muqing nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then please go to the next room for shelter." ”

Lin Jue got up to leave, Gao Muqing reached out and brushed his hair, stood up and looked at the door of the hall, and after a while, he heard the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and a shrill voice sounded.

"Oh, why is the eldest lady so polite, and she specially invited me to the banquet, is this any happy event?"

As he spoke, a thin middle-aged man in a cotton robe appeared under the light at the entrance of the hall, this person was wearing a long robe, two black beards, a square scarf on his head, and holding a folding fan in his hand on a cold day, which was quite bookish. 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 friends of life and death, and now that my father is gone, it is also appropriate for my niece to invite Uncle Yun to come to sit and eat family banquets. Gao Muqing smiled and stepped forward to salute.

The middle-aged man returned the salute, nodded and smiled: "That's right, that's right, it's true, I haven't been here with you for a long time, and I really should come and sit often." Although your father is deceased, I, Yun Haiqing, always remember him and your niece. ”

Gao Muqing smiled and said, "Uncle Yun has hurt me since I was a child, how can Mu Qing forget." Uncle Yun, please take a seat, today we have prepared your favorite roast mutton and bamboo leaf green. ”

Yun Haiqing entered with a smile, walked to the banquet table, looked at the wine and delicacies on the table with wide eyes, sniffed and smiled: "Haha, sure enough, it is all my favorite dishes, the eldest lady has a heart, how dare Yun." ”

"It's just some dishes, what else dare not be, Uncle Yun does his best for the cottage, he is tired and worried all day long, can't he afford this table?"

Gao Muqing stretched out his slender hand and motioned for Yun Haiqing to take a seat. Yun Haiqing thanked him and sat down in his seat.
