The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 151: Pointed Red Lips (15)

"I know that although you broke the engagement with Mr. He back then, you have never forgotten him in your heart." Shopkeeper Qi looked at Mrs. Qi with affection in his eyes, "Mr. He is such a good person, it's no wonder you can't forget him. I always knew that you married me to avenge him. It doesn't matter, I can't give you anything, so I will help you with this wish. "

Our hearts trembled when we heard that Mrs. Qi's wish was to avenge He Shaodong's family, that is, to kill shopkeeper Qi and others, but shopkeeper Qi said that he would help her fulfill this wish.So, not only did he want to help her kill Shopkeeper Feng and others, but he also wanted to help her kill himself? !

Mrs. Qi also showed a puzzled look in her eyes. She didn't know that she was able to successfully get rid of Yan, Feng, Chu and others, thanks to Shopkeeper Qi's secret help, but she was still confused by Shopkeeper Qi's words, and gradually frowned. with him.

Shopkeeper Qi smiled happily, and said with a sigh: "The young lady of the He family is from Caoxi Township. She has been heartbroken that her hometown was destroyed, so Mr. He wanted to build a Yanzhi Town on the ruins for her as a dowry gift for her. It's a pity that his two People didn't wait until the day when the town was built, now that the town is built, I'll use it as a betrothal gift to marry you."

He has been poisoned, and the shopkeeper is probably dead at this moment.As long as these two people die, the five people who control Rouge Town will be gone, and the decline of the whole town will be visible to the naked eye.The huge Yanzhi Town plus himself was actually given to Mrs. Qi by Shopkeeper Qi as a betrothal gift!

Mrs. Qi tremblingly said: "Why?"

Shopkeeper Qi's five orifices had already begun to bleed, and he replied calmly, "Because you were really good-looking back then." Then he was silent for a while, and then said, "The toxicity has begun, you should shoot."

Mrs. Qi was dumbfounded and did not respond. Shopkeeper Qi held her hand, made a gesture of a gun, then pressed her fingers against his forehead, and said softly: "Bang!" With the sound of "gun" "Sound, shopkeeper Qi suddenly fell to the ground and died, with a peaceful expression on his face.

This scene was something we never expected when we came here, so we were all dumbfounded and speechless.

Mrs. Qi didn't know what expression to have when she heard what shopkeeper Qi said, and her expression froze.She loved He Shaodong's family deeply, and she even did not hesitate to break off the engagement with him, fulfilling his and Young Mistress He's wishes. After learning that the He family and his wife were killed, she came to avenge him alone.

The depth of affection in this is touching.However, what she didn't expect was that shopkeeper Qi's affection for her was not inferior to her affection for He Shaodong's family.This intricate emotion really makes people don't know how to deal with it.

The room fell silent for a while, and Ji Mingmei exclaimed after a while, and said, "No, if there is poison in the rouge, why is Mrs. Qi fine; if there is no poison in the rouge, why is shopkeeper Qi dead?"

After she said that, we all realized that we all looked at Mrs. Qi together.Mrs. Qi shook her body, and said in a daze, "The rouge I prepared is indeed poisonous..."

"So, this is not the box of rouge you prepared." Bu Ying heaved a sigh, and also sighed, "Master Qi changed it—he didn't want you to die."

We were a little silent when we heard the words. Originally, Madam Qi’s plan was intercepted by shopkeeper Qi. Feng and Chu were actually killed by shopkeeper Qi, and Lao Yan and shopkeeper Qi committed suicide themselves, so Madam Qi can indeed. Stay out of the matter, so as not to be questioned.

But shopkeeper Qi forgot that Mrs. Qi was the one who smeared poison on Xiaosi's forehead.So the shopkeeper Quan died at the hands of Mrs. Qi, which we saw with our own eyes.His goal of exonerating Mrs. Qi's crime with painstaking efforts could not be achieved.

Mrs. Qi's expression was dull, she didn't know what was going on in her mind, she seemed to have made up her mind after a while, and said, "You guys came to Yanzhi Town to inquire about the landslide in Wenling Town, right?"

We were all taken aback by her sudden utterance.Madam Qi didn't wait for us to speak, she said, "You are asking the wrong person, he is not the one who goes to Wenling Town every year."

It turned out that the person involved in the Wenling landslide was not shopkeeper Qi, but Mrs. Qi. No wonder shopkeeper Qi said that he had never been to Wenling town!
Mrs. Qi glanced at us, "I'm a woman, and I don't have much strength. So all these years, he has been going for me." She pointed to the guy with her eyes.The guy's face was pale, and he couldn't help taking a step back under our gaze.

"Dare to ask Madam, who was entrusted to send people to Wenling at that time?" I asked her straight to the point.

"Many years ago, something happened in the provincial capital." Mrs. Qi said suddenly, "At that time, there was a son of a rich family who wanted to regret the marriage, so he went to the newspaper to annul the engagement with his fiancée. The fiancée couldn't bear the humiliation and finally ran away. Hanged at the door of his house."

When she suddenly mentioned an irrelevant matter, Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei were startled.When I heard this, I somehow felt familiar. It seemed that I had heard such a thing before, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

Mrs. Qi continued: "Although I was in the provincial capital at the time, I didn't know about it, but at this moment, news came from the He family that they wanted to break off the engagement with me. I liked the young master of the He family so much at that time, Where is he willing to break off the engagement with him. But at this moment, a friend told me about it."

Only then did we understand that she broke off the engagement with the He family so simply, it was because of this incident that she was touched, and she was afraid that she would be humiliated, so she simply came to the door and broke up the relationship on her own initiative.

"Although the young master of the He family is a very good person, when the incident came to an end, I was both shocked and afraid. I was afraid that he would do the same thing as the young master of the Wu family who published in the newspaper. That's why I agreed to terminate the relationship with him. " Mrs. Qi said again.

"Wait!" I heard the words "Young Master of the Wu family", and suddenly something flashed through my mind, and I cried out, "Isn't the young master of the Wu family who published the newspaper to annul his engagement called Wu You? "

"Hey, you also know about this?" Mrs. Qi was a little surprised.So far, everyone we have met is related to the events or people of the Wen and Wei families back then, only Mrs. Qi seems to have nothing to do with the events of the year.At first, I was still wondering why she was involved in the Wenling landslide, but now that I think about it, it turns out that Mrs. Qi had something to do with the people back then.

Isn't that Wu You who broke the engagement in the newspaper the one who was taken away by the "ghost" in Guhuai Prison?Because he did this at the time, his fiancée ran to his door and hanged himself, and he always felt guilty, so he participated in the cheating and begged to die so that he would be taken away by the "ghost".

Although Bu Ying also experienced the incident in Guhuai Prison, he didn't hear me mention Wu You's incident, so he and Ji Mingmei turned to look at me at this moment.I briefly told them what happened at that time, and then I remembered something, and said to Mrs. Qi: "Mrs. used to study in the provincial capital, did you know a person named Xiuhong?"

"She is my classmate." Mrs. Qi replied, "It was she who told me about Wu You."

"So she entrusted you to do things in Wenling Town, right?" I took a deep breath and said.

"I don't know." Mrs. Qi replied, "Although we are classmates, we have each graduated for nearly ten years at that time. I met by chance in the provincial capital at that time, and she was accompanied by someone. Feeling sad, I stayed in the provincial capital, but after a while, Xiuhong suddenly came over and told me that the He couple had been killed."

So Xiuhong actually told her about Yanzhi Town.At that time, shopkeeper Qi and the others killed people in the name of the minority obeying the majority, which was also what Xiuhong said.At that time, she asked Xiuhong why she seemed to have seen this scene with her own eyes, but Xiuhong avoided talking about it, unwilling to talk about it.

Not long after she arrived in Yanzhi Town, she began to receive a letter every year asking her to send someone to Wenling Town.She was afraid of being exposed, so she followed the instructions in the letter all these years and sent the guy who followed her to the Qi family to go to Wenling to participate in the landslide.This guy has been greatly favored by her family, so he has been following her around.

"So, the letters you have received over the years are not from Xiuhong?"

"I'm not sure. She was accompanied by a person at the time, and many things were actually told to me by this person. I suspect that the letter was actually sent by this person."

"Then do you know what this person's name is?"

"I don't know his exact name, but I heard Xiuhong call him Xiaotian." Madam Qi said, then suddenly turned around and sat in front of the dressing table, opened the drawer and took out a box of rouge, and began to mend the kisses on her lips. And spent rouge. "By the way, the last letter I received said that there will be a patrolling horse coming to Qi's family to inquire about Wenling Town. If the letter tells me anything, just tell him."

Mrs. Qi said, so when she saw me and Ji Mingmei for the first time, she knew we were here to find her.She didn't know what the letter wanted her to tell us, so she gave us a set of picture scrolls, and added Amanita muscaria poison to Ji Mingmei's rouge, revealing everything about Caoxi Town to us. .

That set of picture scrolls was actually still there when we arrived at the hotel, but when we fell into a coma, the guy sent by her took it back.After we woke up, the sequelae of Amanita muscaria kicked in, and we forgot what happened during this period, so we completely forgot that there was this set of scrolls.

She spoke in detail, but we didn't listen carefully at all, because when we suddenly heard the name, we all trembled, and there was only one thought in our mind - the real culprit behind this scene is indeed Hu Xiaotian!It turned out that he had long been in collusion with Xiuhong. At that time in Tantou Town, when the boatman talked about his employer, Hu Xiaotian, he mentioned that he had a wife.

It was this lady who complained about Wan'er's injustice, which made Hu Xiaotian come forward to seek justice for Wan'er.At that time, we were a little suspicious when we heard this, because Hu Xiaotian was never married, and a wife appeared out of nowhere.Thinking about it now, isn't his "wife" Xiuhong?

Madam Qi said to the guy while touching up her makeup: "All the letters I have received over the years are with you, and you can hand them over to these gentlemen later."

The guy responded, and Ji Mingmei noticed that she was touching up her makeup at this moment, and hurried over to take the rouge from her hand, but it was too late, Mrs. Qi had already finished her makeup.When we saw Ji Mingmei going up to snatch Rouge, we were all taken aback for a moment before we realized it.

The box of rouge just now was replaced by shopkeeper Qi, so it is non-toxic, but Mrs. Qi took out a new box of rouge at this time!
She has lived with shopkeeper Qi for so many years, so she will have some emotions no matter what, that's why she put poison on her lips before, and is going to die with shopkeeper Qi.But unexpectedly, shopkeeper Qi's deep affection was far beyond her expectations, and this deep affection started from a glimpse more than [-] years ago.

She couldn't bear such affection, so even though shopkeeper Qi tried his best to keep her, she still put poisonous rouge on her lips again.

Ji Mingmei took the rouge from Mrs. Qi's hand, and she smiled at Ji Mingmei.Bu Ying and I didn't say anything, because even if she didn't do it, the deeds of poisoning the shopkeeper would be enough for her to pay for it with her life.Now that she had committed suicide, we stopped disturbing her and retreated from the room one after another.

The guy sent us out of Qi's house with tears in his eyes, went to his room to get the letter for us, and then returned to Qi's house to take care of the next thing.When we came to the street and looked at the bustling Rouge Town, we felt complicated for a while.People who come and go will never think that it has been given out as a bride price.

Just as we were feeling sentimental on the street, the shopkeeper Quan suddenly came over from the other side of the street.We were a little surprised to see that he hadn't gotten angry yet, so we stopped him and asked him what he was going to do.Shopkeeper Quan held up a letter in his hand, and said angrily, after he got home, Shopkeeper Qi somehow sent a letter, saying it was his suicide note.

Shopkeeper Quan heard that the letter was Shopkeeper Qi's suicide note, so he opened it naturally, but unexpectedly there was not a single word in the letter.The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he wanted to go to Qi's house to find out what happened.While we were talking, while we were wondering, the shopkeeper suddenly bled from all five orifices, and fell down in front of us with a "plop".

Suddenly someone fell to the ground on the street, and the crowd immediately came up to watch.But after hearing the words of shopkeeper Quan and witnessing all of this, we were all shocked.It turned out that the bullet from the "gun" that Mrs. Qi handed over to the staff did not hit the shopkeeper until then.

And the poison Mrs. Qi wiped on Xiaosi's forehead was actually replaced by Shopkeeper Qi long ago.The real poison came from his "suicide note". He really planned everything for Mrs. Qi!Therefore, if Mrs. Qi did not commit suicide, she could indeed be exonerated.

Because in fact, everyone, including himself, was killed by Shopkeeper Qi!
