(Two in one. No more updates.)

The leaders of each battalion were replaced, and the whole situation quickly stabilized. Although Qiu Biao was indeed very prestigious when he was alive, and everyone in the village was in awe of him. But now he is dead, and everyone is dead.

, everything in the past has come to naught. In the past, Qiu Biao mostly used benefits to win people over, and it is common sense to use benefits to drive away people.

Actions to expose Qiu Biao's crimes were soon launched in the village. The gangsters complained angrily about the persecution and torture of Qiu Biao and others, and tearfully accused the murderer and careerist who killed the old village owner. It was really a sentence.

The sentences were filled with blood and tears and are unforgettable. Those who exposed the most and spoke the most vicious words were actually those who had been closest to Biao and others in the past. As the saying goes, the despicability of human nature is often the most obvious and ridiculous at this time.

Gao Muqing wanted to stop this behavior, but Lin Jue told her that she didn't have to stop it. Instead of stopping it, she should encourage them and carry out the matter vigorously. First, she criticized Qiu Biao, Li An and others, and nailed them forever

The pillar of shame, and then conduct internal exposure to completely eliminate the double-faced faction in the village. Only in this way can the village be truly purified, and her position as the leader of the village be more secure.

Gao Muqing was very shocked by this suggestion, but she still adopted Lin Jue's suggestion because she also realized that the village had suffered huge losses after this incident. People's hearts were already a little scattered, and the poison must be eliminated as soon as possible to gather people's hearts.

At this time, even some unconventional actions are appropriate. Although high pressure and mutual exposure are not a good idea, this time everyone in the village became cautious and well-behaved. Although this went against their own wishes on Guishan Island

The cottage is an idea of ​​a paradise, but at this time it is a way to consolidate one's authority and fully control the cottage.

In the afternoon, in the pine forest at the back of the mountain, there were two new tombs next to Gao Yuankui's tomb. They were the tombs of Zhao Shanyue and Ma Mingde. Last night, the two men sacrificed their lives in order to get Gao Muqing to order the shooting. It was amazing.

The two men have been loyal to Gao Yuankui since the establishment of the village. In the end, they sacrificed their lives for the village. Gao Yuankui’s cemetery was originally an independent cemetery, but now they are buried next to Gao Yuankui.

, should be the greatest compliment and comfort to them.

Gao Muqing burned incense and paper in front of their graves, kowtowed and said softly: "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Ma, everyone in Guishan Island Village will remember you. You have worked hard all your life, and now you can have a good rest. Quanxia and I

Dad gets together, and you three brothers can drink and laugh together again. Mu Qing will come to pay homage to you from time to time. If you want to eat or drink, just ask Meng to come. Mu Qing will provide it to you. Your family's cottage

I will also take good care of them, so you two uncles can rest assured."

Zhao Shanyue's grandson Zhao Hu'er also knelt aside and said in a sweet voice: "Grandpa, haven't you been saying that you miss Grandpa Gao all the time? Now you are going to see Grandpa Gao with Grandpa Ma. You must be very happy, right?"

Grandpa, we are not worried about you suffering in the underworld. You told Hu'er that after grandpa dies and goes to the underworld, if the devil of the king of hell bullies you, you and grandpa Gao will go to the Yama Palace and occupy the mountain as king. Grandpa

, if you do it, you should give Hu'er a dream so that Hu'er will be happy too."

Zhao Huer's words instantly changed the entire sad atmosphere. Even Zhao Huer's father, Zhao Shanyue's eldest son Zhao Daoping, almost laughed out loud and coughed to hold it back. Lin Jue couldn't help but almost laughed even after listening in.

Laughing out loud. This Zhao Shanyue actually thought about rebelling against King Yama after his death. Although it was a joke, it also shows his heroic spirit of fearing neither heaven nor earth.

Think about it, the people in this Guishan Island village are not reckless people. Gao Yuankui, Zhao Shanyue, Ma Mingde, and even Qiu Biao are not famous figures. The outside world calls them bandits, but in fact these bandits are also

Not much worse than those officials and gentry, and even far beyond them in intelligence and moral character. If nothing else, take the Lin family as an example. Lin Boyong's move to kick himself out of the Lin family in times of crisis is similar to Zhao Shanyue and Ma Mingde's sacrifice of their lives at the critical moment.

Compared with his behavior of not hesitating to die, he judged his integrity and character. The bandits still knew how to sacrifice their lives to protect everything they wanted to protect, but Lin Boyong kept saying that he wanted to protect the children of the Lin family, but it was just empty words.

After burying Zhang Shanyue and Ma Mingde, Gao Muqing took a seat in the Juyi Hall to discuss matters. In front of everyone, he once again recounted the process and evidence of Qiu Biao's murder of the old village leader, and detailed the details of the murder of Qiu Biao last night.

After that, many people were present at the time, and they also experienced this incident. Thinking of what happened last night, these people are still frightened.

Gao Muqing announced the promotion of Zhao Shanyue's eldest son, Zhao Daoping, to the position of the second master of the village. Ma Mingde's son, Ma Songlin, was appointed as the village's military advisor. Although these two people were far from qualified and prestigious, with their father's feat last night, they naturally became

Candidates who are to be vigorously promoted. These two people usually have no bad reputation, so there is nothing to say about promotion at this time. New leaders have also been appointed in each battalion and outpost. Gao Muqing asked them to clean up the troops, eliminate poisons, and mobilize mutual exchanges.

In exposing and reporting, Qiu Biao’s followers must not be allowed to get away with it.

After being busy until evening, Gao Muqing returned to his residence. The small building was no longer habitable. Although it had been cleaned, the smell of blood was still strong in the hall and there were blood stains everywhere. Fortunately, there were many houses in the back garden, and Gao Muqing

So he lived in a room in the back garden and became neighbors with Lin Jue.

While holding the lamp, Lin Jue was chatting with Ma Bin, Shen Tan and others in his room. When Ma Bin and Shen Tan were asking him what exactly he used to blow Qiu Biao's head, Gao Muqing ordered someone to come and invite Lin Jueqian.

Go talk.

Lin Jue took a shower and changed his clothes. When he came to Gao Muqing's residence in the east, Gao Muqing was sitting in front of a table of wine and food, thinking in a daze. Seeing Lin Jue come in, Gao Muqing hurriedly smiled, stood up and bowed, and bowed. When he looked up and saw Lin Jue, Gao Muqing,

His eyes lit up.

Ever since he met Lin Jue, he always looked bloated and slovenly. At this time, Lin Jue was wearing a simple blue cotton robe, but he was tall and elegant. He was a handsome young man, just like before.

The image is completely different.

Gao Muqing glanced twice and blushed. She actually already knew that Lin Jue was wearing armor under his clothes at the beginning, and it was because of this that he escaped. But what she didn't expect was that he changed

After this image, Lin Jue turned out to be such a handsome young man.

"So many drinks and food? That's great. I've been hungry all day." Lin Jue sat down unceremoniously, grabbed the chopsticks and was about to start. Suddenly he stopped and said, "Are there any guests? Do you want to wait for the guests?"

Gao Muqing sat down gently and said with a smile: "If there are no guests, the guest is you. This table of wine and food is all to reward you. Your friends will also serve a table of good wine and good food in a while, so you don't have to worry.

them."

Lin Jue laughed and said: "I don't care about them. When I was working in the village, they were doing nothing outside. Logically speaking, they should eat the leftovers."

Gao Muqing pursed his lips and smiled: "Aren't you friends who went up the mountain together to do things? How can you say such things?"

Lin Jue waved his hands and said: "I am not friends with them. I came here out of necessity. Of course they came here out of necessity, but we just have the same purpose, but we are not the same kind of people. They are people of the government and the prince."

, I am just a nobody from the Lin family in Hangzhou. We will go our separate ways after we leave here, and I will not get together with them."

Gao Muqing said curiously: "So you are not from the government. You really came here for your Lin family. I thought you were telling lies."

"Of course it's true, but actually for my own sake, I made Prince Liang angry for some reason, and he wanted to punish me. This happened, so in order to make up for it, I volunteered to take a gamble. Besides, this

This matter also concerns my entire Lin family, and I can’t just sit back and watch."

Gao Muqing was even more curious and asked in detail. Lin Jue did not hide anything. While drinking the wine Gao Muqing poured and eating vegetables, he rambled on about what he had done in Hangzhou, whether it was insignificant or not. Gao Muqing was quiet.

After listening, he looked at Lin Jue's blushing face for a moment and thought to himself: How can you be a scholar? Can you still be considered a proper scholar after doing these things?

"It turns out that this year's oiran of Hangzhou Prefecture was supported behind your back. You are really capable. That girl Xie Yingying must be very beautiful." Gao Muqing said softly.

Lin Jue was already a little drunk and said with a smile: "Beauty is naturally beautiful. If an oiran is not beautiful, is she still called an oiran?"

"you like her?"

"I can't talk about liking her. I just admire her. I like someone else."

"You mean your junior sister? That Miss Fang who is seriously ill?" Gao Muqing asked after drinking a glass of wine.

"It's her. I have decided to marry her if I have the chance to go back this time." Lin Jue said.

"But she won't live for a few more years, so you still want to marry her?" Gao Muqing looked away and said softly.

"Even if she can only live for one day, I will marry her. I promised her." Lin Jue said softly.

Gao Muqing laughed and said, "This Miss Fang must be a peerless beauty."

Lin Jue smiled and said: "She is not bad, but she is not a peerless beauty. She is knowledgeable and courteous, and has a gentle and lovely personality. This is what I like about her."

"You like gentle women who are knowledgeable and courteous, but you hate women who dance with guns and clubs, right?" Gao Muqing drank another glass of wine.

Lin Jue suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the conversation. There was no need to talk too much to Gao Muqing about such personal matters. He should talk to her about business matters.

"Master Dazhai, we can discuss these matters later if you are interested. I wonder if Master Dazhai can order someone to check whether the birthday gift is okay? We had an agreement before, and the time is very urgent. I want to leave the island with the birthday gift boat tomorrow.

, this matter cannot be delayed, otherwise it will cause big trouble."

Gao Muqing drank another glass of wine and pondered without answering.

Lin Jue frowned and said, "The leader of the village is not going to regret it, right? This is not a joke."

Gao Muqing's face turned red after drinking several glasses of wine in a row. He raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Jue and said, "Are you so anxious to leave?"

Lin Jue was stunned and said: "I told you, we have agreed on a time limit. If the time is passed, King Liang will order the navy to attack the stronghold. Wouldn't that be bad?"

"The two birthday gifts are in good condition, and the ship is also in good condition. They can be taken away at any time. Are you satisfied?" Gao Muqing said in a deep voice.

Lin Jue was a little confused. Gao Muqing seemed to have some emotions. He didn't know where he had offended her, or whether Gao Muqing was in a bad mood after today's incident. Lin Jue felt that it would be better for him to say less. Since she would not break the contract, he would go by himself tomorrow.

After checking that the gift is in good condition, it is best to leave quickly to save a long night and a lot of dreams.

Lin Jue lowered his head while eating food and drinking. Gao Muqing sat there quietly and stared at the candlelight in trance. The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Lin Jue felt that he could not stay any longer, so he took a few bites and prepared to stand up and leave.

However, Gao Muqing suddenly spoke softly.

"Mr. Lin, I haven't formally thanked you yet. If you hadn't come to the village, I wouldn't have known about the murder of my father by a traitor. Mu Qing would like to formally thank you." Gao Muqing stood up, swaying slightly and walked towards Lin Jue.

salute.

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "There is no need to be polite. I have already said that this time is for you and for me. You have to thank me and I have to thank you. So you don't have to be polite."

Gao Muqing shook his head and said: "Those are two different things. The hatred of killing my father is irreconcilable. How can other things compare? You also helped me save the village, so that the village would not fall into the hands of others and be used to participate in the rebellion. This is

It was enough to seal the deal."

Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's just a matter of convenience. The key is your arrangement, the leader of the village. I'm just adding fuel to the flames."

"Can you call me Mu Qing? I actually don't like the title of Dazhai Leader. Especially when you call me that." Gao Muqing said softly with a slight smell of alcohol in his red lips.

Lin Jue smiled and said nothing, while Gao Muqing smiled bitterly and said: "I can tell, apart from this deal, you don't plan to have anything to do with me, a female bandit. It's no wonder, I was born as the daughter of a bandit leader.

From now on, I will still be the head of this village. Mr. Lin is an outsider, so I naturally keep him at a distance. I understand, I understand."

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Dazhai... Mu Qing, you are thinking too much. Of course I am willing to make friends with you. I am different from others. I don't care about bandits or not. In fact, I have been thinking about it.

, these people in the Guishan Island cottage gave me a great shock, whether it is the two leaders who risked their lives, or the female guards around you, their fearlessness and loyalty are eye-catching. And the people in the outside world

People may not have such character. I have deep respect for them."

Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue with flashing eyes: "Are you telling the truth? What about me? What kind of person am I in your mind?"

Lin Jue smiled and said: "Mu Qing, do you want to listen to the truth?"
