Uncle Han passed away in front of Gu Qing's eyes, and the face with the slightly raised corners of his mouth stayed in Gu Qing's mind forever.

The surrounding craftsmen gathered around again, except for the wooden stick that caused Uncle Han to die, they didn't find any clues, looking at the dead Uncle Han lying on the ground, some of the craftsmen sighed and some were angry.

Gu Qing was still expressionless, and he didn't see any emotional fluctuations.

He found Song Gensheng from the crowd and asked Song Gensheng to handle Uncle Han's funeral.

First of all, we must clean Uncle Han's face and change clothes, prepare a coffin, and let him go cleanly. Secondly, he sent someone to report the funeral to Uncle Han's family, and Uncle Han had two sons and a daughter, all of whom were invited to Shiqiao Village. Then I went to invite the Taoist priest on Qingcheng Mountain to come down, set up a spiritual platform dojo in Uncle Han's hometown, and do enough Dharma for Uncle Han......

After explaining the aftermath one by one, Song Gensheng remembered one by one, and when he asked if he wanted to report to the official, Gu Qing stopped him.

"Don't report to the official, Uncle Han's village chief clan asked, just say it's an accident, it's our responsibility, we lose money, pay more, especially Uncle Han's family, in the future, I will take care of their family's food and clothing, and I will also take care of Erlang's family affairs, Uncle Han's funeral will be done immediately before the matchmaker to say goodbye, find the daughter of the good family to match Erlang, the money is open, you must find it before the funeral is completed, and serve filial piety for three years after the funeral, delaying Erlang's age."

A sixteen-year-old boy arranges the funeral of an old man in a mature and vicissitudes of tone in an orderly manner, and even his family is properly arranged, which seems a little strange, but everyone's mind is not on this at this moment.

Song Gensheng was a little strange: "But Uncle Han was obviously killed by thieves, how could he not report to the official?" ”

Gu Qing smiled weirdly: "Listen to me, don't report to the official, explain to Uncle Han's family, the money is enough, in short, don't report to the official." ”

Song Gensheng heard the resoluteness in Gu Qing's words, so he had no choice but to nod his head in response.

Turning around and taking a deep look at Uncle Han's body again, Gu Qing walked down the mountain alone in silence.

Although this life is the body of a teenager, the soul is already in its thirties after all. A truly mature adult will not be too impulsive when he encounters anything, Uncle Han died, Gu Qing's mood was naturally sad, but it was not to the extent of unforgettable, after all, he and Uncle Han had not known each other for a long time.

Saying that grief is too much to add drama to himself, Gu Qing's grief is more of a hidden anger.

There is a debtor who is wronged, and it is natural to kill people to pay for their lives.

What Gu Qing has to do now is to help Uncle Han take revenge. The reason why Song Gensheng was prevented from reporting to the official was because he couldn't believe in the royal law of this era, in the era when the rule of man was greater than the rule of law, there were too many accidents and reversals that could occur in a lawsuit of human life, and Gu Qing liked to use the simplest way to achieve his goal, and he didn't want to add too many twists and turns.

The name "Yao Guitang" has been deeply imprinted in Gu Qing's mind, and the name that Uncle Han said with the last trace of breath, if he died too happily, it would be a violation of Gu Qing's oath in front of Uncle Han.

Early the next morning, Uncle Han's two sons came, knelt in front of Uncle Han's body and wept bitterly. Feng Aweng comforted and explained the cause of Uncle Han's death. Under Gu Qing's instructions, the cause of Uncle Han's death was an accident, the rockslide on the mountain hit his head, Gu Qing paid the usual money on the spot to make amends, and said that in the future, Uncle Han's family will give a certain amount of pension every year.

The grief-stricken but helpless two sons had to accept the facts, and the next thing was to go into the coffin and do things with Taoist priests.

After the unfinished affairs were handed over to Song Gensheng to deal with, Gu Qing went out of the village alone.

On the side of the mountain road at the entrance of the village, Song Gensheng hurriedly ran out and grabbed Gu Qing's arm.

"You're going to avenge Uncle Han?" Song Gensheng stared into his eyes.

Gu Qing smiled: "Scholars are suddenly not stupid, I am a little difficult to adapt to......"

"You can't go!" Song Gensheng said in an aggravated tone: "The son of a daughter, you can't sit down." Although you are not a daughter, but with your ability, sooner or later you will have to Tengda, don't put yourself on the line for a human life. ”

Gu Qing said calmly: "I'm just doing what I have to do." ”

"That's not what you're supposed to do! This is what the government should do! Song Gensheng stubbornly tugged at his arm and refused to let go.

"I swore to Uncle Han that I would avenge him with my own hands."

"Gu Qing, don't be impulsive, this time is different from the past, now you are the backbone of Shiqiao Village, how many neighboring villagers rely on you to eat, if you have a mistake, the whole village will go back to the past when you were hungry, for a human life, is it worth it?"

Gu Qing thought for a while and said seriously: "It's worth it." ”

"A lot of people live to be fed, and I'm not."

…………

In Cuijiang Village, which is more than 20 miles away from Shiqiao Village, on the hillside three miles away from the village, Gu Qing sat in the grass, biting a grass stalk in his mouth, squinting at the jagged houses in the village.

Gu Qing was thinking about an action plan.

First of all, on the premise of preserving himself, he must help Uncle Han take revenge, and protecting himself is the premise. Gu Qing would not really be enthusiastic, regardless of rushing into the village to kill the Quartet, and was finally sentenced by the government to be decided. That's a fool's business.

Adults have rules for doing things, calm planning, careful and thoughtful foreshadowing, meticulous actions, and aftermath without leaving a trace, all of which add up to the rules of the game in the adult world.

Except for Uncle Han, no one knows who the murderer is. This is a favorable condition for Gu Qing, so Gu Qing decided not to report to the official, and even explained to the public that Uncle Han died in an accident, all of which was foreshadowing.

Then Gu Qing found Cuijiang Village from Uncle Han's few last words, and the enemy was from this village.

Then the next step is the specific action plan.

On the way here, Gu Qing already had a rough outline of the plan, which was not seamless, and if the government was determined to dig deeper, it would still expose some unfavorable clues. However, there is no crime without loopholes in the world, what Gu Qing can do is to minimize the traces and eliminate the traces as much as possible.

After sitting on the hillside for more than an hour, Gu Qing finally waited for a villager passing by, the villager had a white scarf wrapped around his head and a bundle of dry firewood on his back, obviously a woodcutter who had gone up the mountain to chop firewood.

Gu Qing stopped him and smiled kindly: "Dare to ask you if you are from Cuijiang Village?" ”

The villagers were stunned for a moment, but still said very kindly: "Exactly." ”

Gu Qing still smiled kindly: "I'm from another village, and I want to ask someone from your subordinates, is there a person named Yao Guitang in your village?" ”

The villagers suddenly showed fear, and they could see that this Yao Guitang was also a village tyrant in Cuijiang Village, no wonder he knew the Ding family brothers.

"Brother Tai, don't panic, I don't know Yao Guitang, I was just entrusted to come to Cuijiang Village to give him a word, but I heard that Yao Guitang is a little ...... Fierce, I was too timid to enter the village, and I sat here all morning, which was a dilemma. Gu Qing smiled bitterly.

The villagers looked at him curiously, well, he looked thin and thin, he looked like he didn't take a beating, and he was born with an unhappy face, so he was indeed easy to beat.

"What do you want to say to Yao Guitang?" The villager was a kind person, and he couldn't bear to see Gu Qing's hesitant appearance.

Gu Qing took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, about a dozen yuan, and stuffed them into the hands of the villagers.

The villagers were immediately flattered and shocked by this sudden happiness.

"Brother Tai Gaoyi, I am grateful, please laugh at this little meaning, just bring a sentence to Yao Guitang, and say that last night's incident has happened."

The villager followed with a blank expression: "What happened last night has happened? ”

Gu Qing smiled more and more kindly: "That's right, that's it." If he asks who said it, you can say that it was brought by a stranger you don't know. ”

The villagers are full of question marks at the moment, this headless sentence is too suspenseful, but the handful of copper coins in his hand told him that no matter how many question marks there are, don't ask, just tell the truth.

The villagers patted their chests to ensure that they completed the task, and were about to leave, when Gu Qing pointed to a sheep intestine mountain road at the bottom of the mountain and asked, "Can this road leave the village?" ”

"Yes, and there is only one way out of the village, otherwise you can only climb the mountain to bypass it, which will be too hard."

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Thank you brother, and ask brother Tai to bring the words and say goodbye." ”

The villagers rushed down the mountain, Gu Qing smiled slightly, and followed down the mountain.
