There are spies in the village
With the flick of his fingers again and again, Jin Yongsheng became more focused.
Jin Yongsheng was in a state of selflessness, and he could even feel the collision and friction between the force and the water, until the strength in his body was exhausted, Jin Yongsheng stopped the movements of his hands, sat quietly in the water, and began to meditate cross-legged to recover his strength.
Once he focused on one thing, he would be like a crazy demon, and Jin Yongsheng stayed underwater for two days and two nights before he climbed ashore and caught two pheasants to fill his stomach, and then he disappeared into the water again.
Time passed without a trace, and it seemed like six days later.
It's nearly noon.
On a rugged mountain road outside the village, three horsemen with bags from afar, headed by Jin Shouli, in the center is a middle-aged woman wearing a rich and gorgeous, purple shirt and blue skirt, and her eyes are so fat that there is only a thin slit left, behind the woman is a handsome young man with a white face who is dressed in a black brocade coat and embroidered a plum blossom on it, the young man holds a white jade fan, his head is tied with a son's scarf, and a pair of autumn eyes look at the scenery leisurely.
The house building of Jin Shouzhong's family is the best in the small village, close to the ancestral hall of the village, divided into the upper courtyard and the lower courtyard, the two courtyard rooms are a total of more than a dozen, there is no corridor surrounding, the upper courtyard is the main hall of the Jin family in the middle, the built-in long table and square chairs, it is the place where the clansmen often discuss things. Only a few relatives in the lower courtyard were allowed to enter, and there was a high wall as a screen, and four guards with arrows and crossbows guarded it every day.
When the three horsemen slowly entered the village outside the village, Kim Benjun hurried into his father's house.
"Dad, Dad, the third uncle and the third sister are back. ”
Jin Shouzhong walked out of the door of the main hall when he heard the sound, and before he could go to the gate, Jin Manyu, who had already dismounted, walked quickly towards Jin Shouzhong with a blue Luo skirt, and called softly: "Dad!"
"Yu'er. Jin Shouzhong's face, which had been gloomy since the death of his eldest son, finally showed a little joy and relief. "Qiang'er is here too?" Turning his eyes to his grandson, a happy smile appeared on the old man's face.
"He didn't come, I said that you miss him, and he gave face, but he complained a lot along the way...... Qiang'er, when he saw his grandfather, he didn't know how to kowtow. Jin Manyu said and pulled the handsome young man behind him. The young man's name is Chen Xiaoqiang, and he is the only son of Jin Manyu.
"Grandpa. Chen Xiaoqiang saw his grandfather, and when he was about to kneel down, Jin Shouzhong picked up his daughter with one hand and his grandson with the other and walked towards the hall reflexively.
"How old are you, still kowtow, come into the house and talk. ”
The family was reunited, Jin Shouzhi didn't say much, turned around and led three loaded horses to the direction of the lower courtyard. The eldest brother Jin Shouzhong suddenly lost his son when he was old, and Jin Shouzhi, as a father, knew the sadness and bitterness in the heart of the eldest brother that no one narrated...... The one in the clan who can help the eldest brother reduce some of his thoughts is the fat daughter who is most favored by the eldest brother.
Entering the inner hall of the main hall, Jin Manyu took a cup of tea from the second brother and brought it to his father, who was already sitting on a Taishi chair, and said carefully: "Dad, the eldest brother's business, you have to mourn, and the child Xuanling, or I will take him away too." ”
Jin Manyu, who already knew the death of his eldest brother Jin Benhong and the situation of the village from Jin Shouli's mouth, comforted his father.
"These things, let's talk about it later, you help your father clean up the ...... in the clan first" Jin Shouzhong took the tea and put it aside, and glanced at Jin Benjun, Jin Benjun turned around and walked out of the door, and after closing the door, he stood in front of the door.
In the room.
"What about the child?" Jin Manyu asked his father carefully.
"In the mountains. Your fifth uncle left suddenly, and the child will be sad for a while, and it will not be too late to find him back when the affairs of the clan are done. Speaking of his youngest brother, Jin Shouzhong's face inevitably returned to sadness and heaviness.
"That's fine, if you start to do it later, the child will be safe. Jin Manyu spoke, turned around and looked at the handsome young man beside him who had been watching his nose and nose, "Qiang'er, do you know what you're going to do later?"
Chen Xiaoqiang raised his eyes and nodded slightly, and a black light flashed in his eyes.
"Dad, then I'll wait outside with Qiang'er first, and you can recruit someone. Although Jin Manyu seems to be fat and clumsy, her temperament is extremely decisive and ruthless, and she has always acted vigorously and resolutely, completely inheriting her father's style of doing things.
"Go ahead. Jin Shouzhong didn't get up, but picked up the cup of tea in his hand, took a sip, and said to the door: "Benjun, the person in charge of the Zhao clan comes to the main hall to discuss matters." ”
After a while.
The main hall of Jin Shouzhong's house was filled with people one after another. The elders sat on either side of the long table, and the young and strong stood one by one.
Jin Shouzhong sat majestically in the patriarch's chair in the middle, and behind him stood Jin Benjun, Jin Manyu and Chen Xiaoqiang.
It is very rare for the clan association to have female dependents and people with foreign surnames to participate, but Jin Manyu and Chen Xiaoqiang are both relatives of the patriarch Jin Shouzhong, and the clansmen did not say much when they saw them.
When everyone arrived, Jin Shouzhong glanced at everyone and said, "Calling everyone here today, I think everyone knows what is going on in their hearts." A few days ago, the village was suddenly attacked by the enemy, killing and wounding many people, and I suspect that someone in our clan leaked the news to the outside world. ”
As soon as Jin Shouzhong's words fell, it caused a burst of anger and noise among the clansmen.
"Has anyone in the clan revealed the news?" a thin black man stood up suddenly.
"The patriarch means that there are spies hidden among us!" said a stout man, his eyes swept towards the crowd. "Damn, if I let Lao Tzu know who he is, I will chop him up......"
"Yes, pull him out and chop ......him up," shouted many young Zhuang people echoing the man.
In the uproar, no one noticed that Chen Xiaoqiang, who was standing quietly behind Jin Shouzhong and had been watching his nose and nose, suddenly raised his eyes and swept his eyes over everyone's faces, and an invisible consciousness instantly saw through the minds and consciousness of everyone present.
Chen Xiaoqiang was born with an ability beyond ordinary people, he can understand people's hearts, distinguish good from evil, and determine good and evil. Chen Xiaoqiang's abnormal ability is definitely a top secret in the Jin family, and the only person who knows it is his father Jin Shouzhong, except for Jin Manyu.
This time, the man in black suddenly attacked the village, Jin Shouzhong was very worried and just like fifteen years ago, there was a traitor in the village, so he specially asked Jin Manyu to bring Chen Xiaoqiang.
Jin Shouzhong deliberately threw out the words that there might be spies in the village at the beginning of the clan meeting, all in order to cooperate with Chen Xiaoqiang to explore the hearts of the clansmen.
"There are really spies in the village...... "The black and thin old man."
"Son, find that person, Daddy will definitely avenge you with his own hands......" sat next to the thin black man, another burly old man with gray hair.
"Hey, where is this singing, big brother? Didn't the people in the clan who have external intentions clean it up more than ten years ago? I still have meat in my pot for eternal life. "Kim Shouzhi.
"Man Yu has brought a lot of good things this time, and I have to start first to give that set of glass cups to the baby and his mother, but I can't let the fourth brother get it......" Jin Shouli.
"Who is the spy? Could it be that the patriarch has already found out who this person is?" a swarthy man standing in the corner looked around.
When Chen Xiaoqiang's gaze was retracted, Jin Shouyi got up and said the word "quiet".
Chen Xiaoqiang glanced at Jin Shouzhong and Jin Benjun, and lowered his eyes again, looking indifferent and profound as if he was about to fall asleep.
The voice in the hall gradually fell silent, Jin Shouzhong slowly got up in the silence and said: "I have asked Shouyi to investigate this matter, and today I told the big family that there may be spies hidden in the big family, I believe that the people in my clan have always been of the same mind, if anyone has crooked thoughts and is driven by external interests, he will definitely die a good death, and will be hunted down and killed by my Jin clan for generations." The rules of our people, those who betray and betray their people...... Kill!"
As soon as the word kill came out of Jin Shouzhong's mouth, everyone got up and echoed: "Kill!"
It's a good word.
The sound was deafening, gloomy and solemn, startling the flock of foraging birds outside the hall to take off.
The clan meeting was very short-lived, and after a few words of explanation, Jin Shouzhong got up and left.
