Zhang Yousheng said: "The four of us came to the island under the guidance of the eldest one, and the second one was guiding us to the mountains where the treasure was buried, when we ran into big trouble, and hundreds of wild wolves appeared at once, coming towards us. We were so frightened that we turned around and ran, but in a panic, we all ran away. I happened to run to a river, and the water was very fast, and by this time, I had developed my water skills after twenty years of fishing, and then I jumped into the river and swam to the other side, avoiding the pursuit of the hungry wolves. ”

"When the wolves got to the river, they couldn't swim over, so they turned around and ran, and they probably went after a few of them, I don't know, and I was also scared, and I shouted for help by the river, hoping that they would hear and rush to the river, and the river would stop the hungry wolves from pursuing. I climbed a large tree by the river and looked from the treetops, but there was no sign of the wolf. I called their names aloud in the trees, hoping that they would hear, and I called them for a day and a night, and none of them appeared, and the wolves did not know where they went, so I boldly swam to the other side of the river, and went along the river to look for it. ”

"I didn't find the river, so I walked in the direction we met with the wolves, because we were running in a hurry, and I can't remember the exact location, but I can only remember a rough idea. On the way I found a corpse, eaten to the ground and a pile of bloody bones, the skeleton of which had been torn apart. ”

"Judging from the scattered clothes on the ground, it should be the eldest brother's! Sad and scared, I knelt on the ground and cried before looking for it. The next day, a corpse was found, in a wood, most of the body was still there, but it was rotten and covered with flies, as it looked like it had been dead for a long time. - Is there anyone on the island? It's terrifying! ”

Lu Jinping interjected and asked, "What exactly does the corpse you saw look like?" ”

"Swelled, the body is green everywhere, it's scary, unrecognizable, there are multiple marks on the body that may be the bite of a beast, but. It's basically still intact, and I can recognize it as a man. I don't know who he is, I didn't dare to look closely, it was disgusting. There is no such interest either, I just want to find a few of my brothers. ”

"I searched for a long time but did not find them, there are many wild beasts on the island, I have encountered wild boars, wolves and poisonous snakes, but fortunately I have escaped most of them. Moreover, we didn't know where the food we brought fell on the run, and we had nothing to eat, so we had to decide to leave first, otherwise I would definitely die on the island. So I went in the direction of the sea, and when I got to the beach, I walked along the beach, and at last I found the boat we had parked on the beach, and there was food and drink on board, and I wanted to come back and tell them about it. Then go looking for it together. ”

"When we came back, because we had all left our home addresses and family information before we left, I went to them one by one and told them about it. Unexpectedly, they suspected that I had killed their father and swallowed the treasure for myself, or if that was the case, why should I tell them what to do? Wouldn't it be better to just run away by yourself? - I'm done. ”

As soon as Zhang Yousheng's voice fell, Wang Shiduo couldn't wait to speak first: "It's not that we deliberately framed you, we also have evidence." Very simple. My father's letter to us is very clear, my father is in charge of finding the island and has sent you to the island, and the other two are in charge of finding the mountains and caves. But, according to what you said, there are so many caves on the mountain that there are many forks in the same cave, so you know where the treasure is buried, and you ran out alone. My father and they all died on that island, who do you make you believe? Aren't you brothers? Aren't they soldiers in bloody battles? Why do you run around in fear when you encounter a wolf? Clarity is an excuse! Where did such a large pack of wolves come from on the island? It's clearly a lie. ”

Zhang Yousheng was about to explain, but Lu Jinping waved his hand and said, "Don't panic first, wait until they finish talking before you speak." ”

Zhang Yousheng didn't dare to disobey Lu Jinping's words, so he could only swallow the words that came to his mouth.

Yao Dongcai, the second son, shook his chubby head and said, "I don't think it's right." When you went to the island to bury your treasures twenty years ago, you didn't hear any wolves from you, and you left peacefully, why did you encounter such a big danger this time? There are also hundreds of wolves, just like Wang Shiduo said, can these wolves fly? Fly to the island? ”

Jiang Xiaozhou said slowly: "I also think that what you said from the fourth uncle is unbelievable. Because as far as I know, you didn't take the initiative to come to us, but Yao Dongcai's mother found where you lived and asked why your second uncle didn't come back, and you told her about it. So, you're not trying to tell us about it, if you hadn't gone to you, maybe you wouldn't have told us about it at all. ”

Zhang Yousheng spread his hands and said: "If you have to say that, then I can't help it, I just got home, and my second sister-in-law came to look for me, and after I told her about it, she cried and said that she was going to find her and asked me to tell her the direction of the island." I said you don't have to worry, it's not too late to look for it together when we're together. But she didn't listen to me, so she forced me to say. I told her the general direction, but I begged her not to risk it. She said she'd get someone to help her, don't worry about me, and left. ”

Yao Dongcai said to Lu Jinping: "That's right, I'm worried about my mother's safety, so I want the lord to help us go to find the treasure and find my mother's whereabouts." ”

Lu Jinping frowned and said to Zhang Yousheng: "So, your second sister-in-law went to that island to find them?" ”

"I'm not sure about the specifics, she said so before she left, I can't stop it, I can't help it with her legs, I've already said that the island is dangerous, let her not go, but she said someone to help."

Yao Dongcai said indignantly: "At that time, you should have stopped my mother and prevented her from leaving." Then hurry up and let us know so we can pick her up. Okay now, I don't know where my mother went, what if you let us be small? ”

Zhang Yousheng looked very embarrassed and said: "He is my second sister-in-law, I forcibly pulled her up and down, others who don't know will make irresponsible remarks, I can't afford it." ”

Lu Jinping said to Zhang Yousheng: "I'm a little strange, since you already know the location of the island, and the treasure is buried in a cave by you, no matter how many caves there are, you can find them one by one, why don't you go to the caves to find them yourself, and you have to invite me with the temptation of Yicheng?" ”

Zhang Yousheng laughed dryly and said, "Isn't this because they suspect that I killed their father?" You are a judicial lord, you must help me clear my name, find out this matter, and see if it was killed by someone or eaten by wild beasts? I said that they don't believe it, if I carry the name of murder, even if it is not the crime convicted of me by the yamen, they think so in their hearts, then I will not be able to live in peace for the rest of my life, after all, the three of them are my sworn brothers, and I will not be able to bear this crime for the rest of my life. ”

Lu Jinping turned his gaze to the other three and asked, "Is this your joint decision?" ”

The three of them all nodded together and said, "Yes, we must find out about it." ”

"So what are we waiting for? It's almost the New Year, and I don't want to spend it on an island. It just so happens that I have nearly a month off, so let's go, hoping to come back before the Spring Festival. ”

Zhang Yousheng shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I guess it won't work." Because, the journey back and forth to the beach here has exceeded the days of the Spring Festival, not counting the time of going to sea and looking for the sea, we apologize for delaying your Spring Festival, which is why we are willing to give you an important reason, which is to make up for your losses. ”

Lu Jinping thought for a while, sighed and said: "This temptation is still very big, for such a generous reward, even if you are not at home for the Spring Festival, there is nothing, then let's go, however, I need to bring a bodyguard." ”

Zhang Yousheng didn't expect Lu Jinping to make such a request, and looked back at the other three. The three of them were also a little surprised, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Lu Jinping said: "I know what you are worried about, don't worry, the people I want to bring are absolutely trustworthy." She is a Tibetan envoy, and she is my sister-in-law, so I took her there, on the one hand, because she is strong in martial arts and can help deal with wild beasts, on the other hand, she is also good at analytical reasoning, careful observation, and can often give me great help, and she may be more sure of her. ”

Zhang Yousheng hurriedly said: "Since the lord said so, then, we have no problem, but we can only bring her, and we can't bring the others, after all, this matter is very important, and we can't let more people know." ”

said yes at the moment, Zhang Yousheng and the others went back to prepare.

Lu Jinping also sent a servant to call Yunzi. After Yunzi came, he was very surprised when he heard Lu Jinping talk about such an errand, and said, "What is the treasure of the Khitan Kingdom?" Is it really that valuable? ”

Lu Jinping said: "It should be very valuable. The four of them were able to wait for the treasure in a fishing village for twenty years, and only when the wind and waves were calm before taking it out and selling it, it can be seen that this treasure is indeed priceless. I'm not all for this dividend, I'm interested in another question, that is, how did those three people die? Died of murder or not. Also, did his second sister-in-law go to the island? This involves a homicide case, and as a judicial officer in the same state, I can't sit idly by and ignore the homicide case involving people in the same state. So, I decided to look into the case properly, and that's where it's my duty to do that. In addition, there is another reason, - the last time the two of us went to Yunya Mountain to climb the mountain, but we encountered a snowstorm, and we also lived in a black shop, and we came back without climbing the mountain after solving the case, and we said that we would find a chance to play again, so this time it was another trip for us, to explore the island.
