Meng Xingzhou sighed and said: "Gao Jingjie is cunning and cunning. We have tried several times to get a breakthrough from him but have not made much progress. Now that the two sides are at odds with each other, how can we set up a plan?"
Sheng Guoer chuckled and said, "It is precisely because we have a clear sword and a clear gun that we can make plans better! We thought of this old boy in a simple way before, but he is so meticulous that no one can accurately calculate everything. thing!"
Meng Xingzhou felt that Sheng Guoer must have noticed some flaws in Gao Jingjie, so he asked, "Guoer, have you noticed something?"
Sheng Guoer stood up and said, "I have watched a play. The scene in the play is somewhat similar to the environment we are in now. If we can make good use of it, we can deal with Gao Jingjie!"
Afterwards, Sheng Guoer asked, "Where is the substitute of Gao Jingjie you captured?"
Meng Xingzhou sighed and said: "Dead, Gao Jingjie killed this substitute in order to silence someone!"
Sheng Guoer pondered for a moment and said: "Lu Ban's book records a technique of disguise..."
Sheng Guoer suddenly thought of something and said, "Xingzhou, is the body of the substitute still there?"
Meng Xingzhou nodded and said, "Of course I am! He was abandoned by them in the Deep Valley."
Sheng Guoer smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's go find this body now. Remember, we must hide it well and don't let others know!"
Meng Xingzhou asked, "What do you want?"
Sheng Guoer quietly told Meng Xingzhou the plan. Meng Xingzhou was overjoyed when he heard the words. Then, Sheng Guoer asked Meng Xingzhou to take him to the deep valley.
Youyou Valley is located in Qifeng Mountain, ten miles east of the city. Together with Changliu Mountain and Cuiwei Mountain, it has become the three sacred mountains of Pingan Township.
Sheng Guo'er has been to Changliu Mountain, Sheng Guo'er has also explored Yuqin Villa in Cuiwei Mountain, but only Qifeng Mountain has not been visited yet.
When we arrived at Qifeng Mountain, we saw that it was a higher peak than the other two mountains. The three sacred mountains were connected and became the highest solitary peak here. Qifeng Mountain was a stone mountain. I heard that Erlang Shen climbed the mountain to catch the sun. , sand leaked from the sacred basket, forming the three sacred mountains of Ping'an Township. Because Erlang God once hit a pair of phoenixes with a silver marble here, and the phoenixes landed here, it was called Qifeng Mountain. Children's songs are still sung to this day: Mr. Erlang's original surname is Yang, and he wears a Taoist robe with goose egg yolk. Hands use gold string bows and silver marbles to shoot phoenixes from the sycamore trees. If you hit one and it doesn't make a pair, you have to hit two to make a pair. I am determined to hit three or five of them, but I am afraid that I will accidentally carry the mountain to chase the sun.
Sheng Guoer followed Meng Xingzhou inside while listening to Meng Xingzhou explain to herself the origin of Qifeng Mountain.
"Tour guide Xiao Meng, when will we arrive at Youyou Valley?" Sheng Guoer teased.
Meng Xingzhou smiled and said, "We're almost there. We'll just go around this mountain ridge."
Sheng Guoer said as he climbed up, "Have all your men been released too?"
Meng Xingzhou reached out and picked up Sheng Guoer and said, "Yes, we were still very surprised at that time, why were we let go?"
Sheng Guoer said coquettishly: "My mother and I saved you!"
Meng Xingzhou smiled and said, "Did you go in time?"
Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou smiled at each other and looked at the scenery of this stone mountain while walking.
Although there are no dense jungles and exotic flowers and plants here, there are countless strange peaks and rocks, and many valuable minerals are hidden among the jagged rocks.
Sheng Guoer said: "Although there are no products from Changliu Mountain, exotic flowers and fruits and jade materials from Cuiwei Mountain here, it does have very good iron ore and infrastructure materials!"
Meng Xingzhou nodded and said, "Madam, you have good eyesight. Yes, the iron ore here is the largest and the quality is the best. But no one comes to mine, so they can only mine the iron ore in Changliu Mountain and Cuiwei Mountain!"
Sheng Guoer asked: "Then why is this?"
Meng Xingzhou stopped and said bitterly: "We have investigated and found that the iron ore in this mountain has been occupied by Gao Jingjie and Wei Jinzhong. The iron ore in Ping'an Township is a specialty. Therefore, Wei Jinzhong colluded with unscrupulous officials and secretly committed crimes here. Mine it and sell it!”
Sheng Guoer said thoughtfully: "No wonder Gao Jingjie is rich and powerful. You can make more money as a coal boss than as a contractor!"
Meng Xingzhou asked strangely: "What kind of coal boss, what kind of foreman?"
Sheng Guoer shook his head and said, "Oh, it's nothing! I mean, Gao Jingjie is so evil and hateful as a boss!"
Meng Xingzhou didn't ask again. Anyway, this lady would always say something he didn't understand, so he got used to it.
While they were talking, the two came to the Youyou Valley. Meng Xingzhou pointed to the double lying on the ground in the valley and said: "No one had time to bury him at that time, so we could only let him die here in the wilderness."
Sheng Guoer felt pity in her heart. This man was probably a poor person. He was willing to take risks in order to survive and died for that bastard Gao Jingjie. It was really pitiful.
"My lord, use the art of disguise to make his face out of pigskin and take it away, and then bury him!"
When Meng Xingzhou heard Sheng Guoer's words, he sighed and said, "Okay, he was also a poor man and died for Gao Jingjie. Let's bury him! Let him have a resting place!"
Then, Meng Xingzhou made the man's face into a mask according to the method recorded in "The Book of Lu Ban", and then the two of them buried the poor man together.
Holding the leather mask, Meng Xingzhou said: "Now we have to find someone similar to Gao Jingjie!"
Sheng Guoer thought for a while and said, "We are looking for two people. The first one is an actor, and the second one, I plan to use Xiaozhuang!"
Meng Xingzhou smiled evilly and said, "Madam, I think your method is quite vicious!"
Sheng Guoer smiled slightly and said: "They have been running rampant in the countryside for many years and have done all kinds of bad things. They also colluded with Wei Jinzhong to rebel. They deserve this retribution!"
Meng Xingzhou nodded and said: "That's right, because they usury and enclosed land, many people died. Moreover, Gao Jingjie worked with the government to mine iron ore privately and gave the iron capital to the Dongyuan Empire and the Wonu Kingdom, earning a lot of money. The ill-gotten gains and numerous casualties among our soldiers are all thanks to him!"
Sheng Guoer said, "Have you submitted all these evidences?"
Meng Xingzhou shook his head and said: "Not all, because I was worried that Mr. Wei would seize the documents midway, so what I sent was all the evidence that would shake things up. Mr. Chang also urged me to hand over more important evidence, but I have this level of worry, so the evidence is hidden in a safe place!"
Sheng Guoer pondered for a moment and said, "Ms. sir, let's find an actor from abroad immediately, and then ask him to pretend to be Gao Jingjie and go to Beijing to plead guilty. He will knock on the mountain to shock the tiger, so that the old thief Wei will mistakenly think that we have captured Gao Jingjie and let him concentrate. Focus on dealing with the dangers in the court, and then we will return to Ping'an Township for the next step!"
Meng Xingzhou said: "Okay! That's it!"
The two then returned to Xifeng Village. Meng Xingzhou asked someone to find a Nuo opera master named Cheng Jingtian. He was also a righteous man. He had long been dissatisfied with Gao Jingjie's illegal behavior. After some persuasion from Meng Xingzhou, Cheng Jingtian decided to follow the example of ancient times. You Meng, eradicate this scourge!
Cheng Jingtian first entered the Gao Mansion as a slave and carefully observed Gao Jingjie's every move.
A month later, Meng Xingzhou's side was ready. Sheng Guoer also ordered his subordinates to secretly gradually withdraw funds from the grain station business. The Lin family also secretly assisted Sheng Guoer in transferring funds.
The complacent Gao Jingjie did not notice all this, because Sheng Guoer was more cautious and maintained a profitable and stable state in terms of books and income.
Coupled with the last pressure, Gao Jingjie believed that Sheng Guoer and others had completely surrendered, so he concentrated on planning a major rebellion for Wei Jinzhong.
But he didn't expect that a huge storm had already begun to unfold against him under Sheng Guoer's planning.
On this day, Sheng Guoer suddenly received a message from his servant: Gao Jingjie came to visit!
Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou were startled: "Did Gao Jingjie discover something and come to investigate?"
Meng Xingzhou said: "It's a blessing, not a curse. I'll take care of anything. Guo'er, once you see something is wrong, you run away and tell our family to leave quickly. We also tell the villagers in the east and west villages to leave quickly." !”
Sheng Guoer's eyes were firm and she said, "Don't worry, sir, I'll let someone else notify you, and I'll deal with the old thief with you!"
Meng Xingzhou looked at Sheng Guoer, and the two held their hands tightly.
At this moment, Gao Jingjie walked in.
"Mr. Gao, why are you here?" Meng Xingzhou asked.
Gao Jingjie smiled indifferently: "I spared your life last time, but you didn't want to repent and wanted to cut off my food supply and destroy my family business. What crime do you deserve!"
After finishing speaking, Gao Jingjie waved his hand and drew out a sharp sword, pointing it at Meng Xingzhou.
Meng Xingzhou said with a stern face: "Mr. Gao, if I use force, you are no match for me. Call out all the master servants you brought. If I, Meng Xingzhou, frown, I am not a good man!"
Hearing this, Gao Jingjie's expression suddenly became kind, and then he threw the sword on the ground and said, "Yes! If you risk your life, will I still be alive?"
Then, Gao Jingjie suddenly made a move, which surprised Meng Xingzhou and Sheng Guoer!
Gao Jingjie suddenly fell to his knees and kowtowed to Meng Xingzhou and Sheng Guoer: "I, Gao Jingjie, am guilty. I, Gao Jingjie, am not a human being. Please forgive me!"
This move made Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou a little confused.
"Gao Jingjie, what on earth are you playing?" Sheng Guoer asked.
Suddenly, Gao Jingjie stood up and laughed.
Meng Xingzhou shouted sternly: "Gao Jingjie, are you kidding us?"
At this moment, Gao Jingjie suddenly stretched out his hand and started tearing his face apart!
Immediately afterwards, a leather mask was torn off from his face, and Gao Jingjie in front of him instantly turned into Cheng Jingtian!
Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou smiled with relief when they saw this: "Cheng Jingtian, you must be sick, don't be so scary!"
Cheng Jingtian laughed and said, "How about it? Am I pretending to be the same?"
Sheng Guoer gave a thumbs up and said, "It looks like it, it looks so similar, I didn't even recognize it!"
Meng Xingzhou also smiled excitedly and said, "That's right, I didn't recognize it either. No wonder others say you are the Variety Actor!"
Cheng Jingtian said: "Now, can we go to Beijing?"
Sheng Guoer hummed, and then said, "That's okay, as long as you act according to the script I wrote for you!"
Cheng Jingtian nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely confuse the fake with the real!"
