Tonight's Justice Hall is really heavily guarded, in addition to the checkpoint just now, there are two other checkpoints on the way to the Justice Hall. But there are both waist cards and customs clearance orders, and on windy and rainy nights, the guards are too lazy to entangle. Therefore, after looking at the waist card on the password, he only waved his hand and let it go. However, before passing the checkpoint and arriving at the Juyi Hall Square, he met a small leader, and asked a few words after reading the waist cards of the three people.

Lin Jue also simply prevaricated in the past, it was nothing more than some wind and rain, and he came up to drink hot tea and roast the fire to warm up his body. This kind of weather is very offensive, and this kind of request is not too much, and there are only three people who come up, so it must be agreed that there is nothing to make a fuss about taking turns to rest and rest.

When the three of them stood on the side of the square of the Gathering Hall, the scene in front of them surprised the three of them. What is called a high level of security, this place can really be called a high level of security. On the square, although it was raining heavily, the bandits patrolling with torches in the rain went back and forth to Youzhou one after another, and there were at least five or six hundred people. At the edge of the square was a huge wooden shed, in which there were many pirates sitting and standing. They were apparently bandits on duty, and there were more than a thousand bandits in the entire square.

In the middle of the square, a dozen huge bonfires were lit, and the flames rose several feet high. These are obviously firewood poured with fire oil, which will not be extinguished in the heavy rain. When the rain falls on the fire, the red firewood that is stimulated makes a crackling and exploding sound, and from time to time sparks splash up, just like the fireworks on the night of the last yuan.

Lin Jue suddenly realized, no wonder he saw the fire here on the top of the cliff arrow tower in the west before, and it was the reason why more than a dozen bonfires were burning. The light of the dozen or so bonfires illuminates most of the square as if it were daylight in such a dark night. The figures of the patrolling bandits were stretched and torn, like countless cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods dancing in the middle of the night.

In the middle of the square, facing the gate of the Gathering Hall, is a tall flagpole with black bandit flags painted with crossed skulls. The flagpole is 15 feet tall and as thick as a bucket, and it is the only towering tree on the island that has been cut down and transported here to be erected as a flagpole. Lin Jue and the others slowly walked past the flagpole, subconsciously looking towards the top of the flagpole, only to see the raindrops shining in the night sky illuminated by the bonfire. High on the top of the flagpole, a black figure was hung from the beam at the top of the flagpole, and the figure swayed back and forth as the wind and rain blew. Although it was too tall and dark to see his face, needless to say, it must be Jiang Jinfu's corpse.

Glancing at the corpse swaying in the wind and rain, Lin Jue sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't have half a bit of pity. It seems that this Jiang Jinfu was cheated by himself, and he seems to be a little pitiful. But in fact, this guy is not pitiful at all. He is Hai Dongqing's son, and he has been a bandit with Hai Dongqing for more than 20 years, and this guy doesn't know how much blood he has on his hands, and he doesn't know how many bad things he has done. Even if he didn't die at the hands of Hai Dongqing, he was unforgivable. Whether for the court or the people, his death was a very happy event. Lin Jue sighed that it was indeed he who lured him to rebel against Hai Dongqing, otherwise this person would not have died so quickly.

Perhaps this is the best ending for Jiang Jinfu. If they are captured by the imperial court, Hai Dongqing's father and son will be punished by Ling Chi. died in the hands of his father, although it was a human tragedy, but at least Hai Dongqing left him a whole corpse.

The three of them didn't dare to trespass on the square, and there were more loyal and personal guards inside and outside the Gathering Hall, and the identities of Lin Jue and the three of them could not enter the Gathering Hall. Moreover, walking around the square at this moment will invite unforeseen trouble. So the three of them lowered their hats and quickened their pace to the shadows between the two barracks on the south side of the square.

According to the decision discussed on the road, the matter of entering the Juyi Hall to listen to the news could only be completed by Gao Muqing. Because she is strong in martial arts, she can sneak in. The Juyi Hall is not only the middle hall, there are side halls on both sides, and there are more than a dozen rooms in the back, and the venue is quite large. And because it's a simple wooden structure, it's actually easy to sneak into.

The three of them stopped in the shadows, and after discussing a few words in a low voice, Gao Muqing left the two alone. She walked slowly along the wooden fence at the edge of the square, in the direction of the south side of the hall. Fifty steps away from the south side of the Juyi Hall, there were several teams of guards walking back and forth patrolling in front, Gao Muqing no longer moved forward, looked around, and in a flash, he jumped over the wall of the square surrounded by a wooden fence and landed on the steep slope of the mountain outside.

She crouched down on the slope and listened for a moment, seeing that no one was around, and no one noticed her climbing over the wall, so she slowly got up, and then, her figure swayed among the rocks and shrubs, and soon appeared under the base of the wall in the southwest corner of the Gathering Hall.

After taking a moment of respite, Gao Muqing reached out and climbed the wooden pillar supporting the eaves, and his body quickly climbed up like a gecko, reached out at the eaves and grabbed a piece of wood sticking out, flipped up lightly, and the next moment he was already lying on the slope of the roof of the high justice hall. After that, it was much safer, and no matter how many people on the ground there were, they couldn't see a petite black shadow running lightly on the roof of the Righteous Hall.

Gao Muqing is also relatively familiar with this Juyi Hall, after all, the place of negotiation some time ago is here, and after so many days, when there was a stiffness, Hai Dongqing also led her to visit the Juyi Hall in order to ease the atmosphere, so Gao Muqing knows a little about the structure.

Under the northwest corner is the kitchen firewood room of the Juyi Hall, which is the best place to stay. Gao Muqing quickly moved to the position above the firewood room, pried open the thick mud felt thatch covered by the roof, made a large hole for people to enter, and jumped into the dark firewood room.

After that, it was easy to be at ease, as long as she entered the Justice Hall, no one would ask about her identity anymore, as long as she didn't show off everywhere. Gao Muqing quickly moved to the meeting hall in front of him, and quietly slipped into the corner of the side hall.

Looking through the partition into the hall, where the lights were bright, the flames in the oil pot were rising, and a dozen bandits sat on the chairs on both sides with serious faces. And Hai Dongqing's body was spread out on the animal skin chair, although his face could not be seen from this angle, but his big hands that were tightly grasping the armrests could be seen, like eagle claws.

……

In the hall of righteousness, most of Hai Dongqing's gloomy face fell into the bearskin chair, and the lights in the hall and the raging flames in the iron pot only illuminated half of his face, and the other half was hidden in the shadows on the side of the black animal skin.

But everyone could see that in just a few days, Hai Dongqing seemed to have suddenly aged a few years, his face was wrinkled a lot, and his expression was much more tired.

During the entire deliberations, Hai Dongqing remained almost silent, with military Xu Xing presiding over the active discussion with the leaders, while Hai Dongqing seemed absent-minded and fell into a strange thought.

For Hai Dongqing, these days have indeed been very, very difficult, but he still showed his usual coldness and ferocity, and quickly quelled the rebellion on the island that even he did not expect.

After Hai Dongqing returned safely to the island a few days ago, he personally presided over a massacre. Hundreds of pirates who participated in the rebellion, as well as Chu Changgui, one of the derelict Eight King Kongs, and his men were all taken to the top of the cliff to the east. He cut off their heads one by one and pushed their bodies into the sea below the cliffs. Tens of thousands of men across the island witnessed this.

In the wind and rain, their bodies trembled, watching hundreds of people being beheaded one by one, and the corpses stained the sea water below the cliff red. Witnessing the countless sea tigers rushing in the wind and waves, snatching the carcasses, many of them peed their pants.

Hai Dongqing wanted this effect, he knew that there was only one way to restrain these bandits, and that was fear. If you don't let them know the consequences of cheating, they'll be ready to do it. In order to show everyone his determination, he personally hoisted Jiang Jinfu on the flagpole, and watched his only son struggle on the rope in front of everyone, and finally became a corpse.

It can be said that the fluctuation of people's hearts brought about by this rebellion was quickly suppressed by Hai Dongqing with thunderous means. He wants to tell everyone what happens to those who dare to have two hearts. And he, Hai Dongqing, will never give any room for forgiveness.

However, even so, this incident hit him extremely hard.

Last year, when the news of his son Jiang Jingui's death on Guishan Island came, it hit him hard. And the rebellion of his eldest son a few days ago was even more devastating. Jiang Jinfu's rebellion was not expected at all, and because of this, the impact of this incident exceeded his imagination. Moreover, the ferocity of this rebellious method is staggering, and he actually killed his two young sons and several wives and concubines, which caused an almost devastating blow to Hai Dongqing. When he personally hanged Jiang Jinfu on the flagpole, Hai Dongqing also realized that he had no relatives around him.

Since he was a teenager, he has been alone in the world, and now decades have passed, and he has actually returned to the original point, and he is still alone. The four sons, the three husbands and the concubines all died. Whoever suffers such a blow is afraid that there is no love left.

In the past few nights, Hai Dongqing couldn't sleep all night. He wondered if all this was retribution, if he had created too many sins in the past, so he had caused disaster to his family. But these thoughts only come to me in the middle of the night when no one is around. It is only when no one is there that he shows his vulnerability. And once he stands in front of people, he is still the standing Hai Dongqing. Because he understands that as long as he is a little decadent and weak, these bandits under him will not be able to suppress it. These people are obedient to their own hard-hearted methods, and once they lose these, they will jump out. I don't know how many people covet the throne of the island lord, and now is the time for them to move.

Of course, all of this was blamed on that kid named Lin Jue by Hai Dongqing. I was stupid enough to allow him to live for so many days, and finally caused this tragedy again. This kid is like his nemesis, first killing his most proud second son, and then burrowing into the island to instigate his stupid eldest son to do such a big rebellious thing. This Lin Jue is simply his own disaster star.
