The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 164 Poppies (13)

Lin Yuxi glanced at us, and told us everything about that year without waiting for us to ask.At that time, Donglin Thatched Cottage was famous far and wide, and many people came to visit it.At that time, the Lin family was kind to others, as long as they were reliable, they were allowed to enter the thatched cottage.At that time, Mr. He also begged to come to see the books in thatched cottage.

Since the He family is also a well-known wealthy family, Lin Yubin agreed to him at that time and asked Lin Guanshi to take him to the thatched cottage to read.Because the stack of papers was hidden in the body of the horned beast on the beam, the Lin family never thought that such a secret would be discovered, so they didn't care. Manager Lin also took Mr. He away and left on his own.

When the Lin family discovered that the bookcase had been stolen the next day, the three guests at home immediately became suspects.The three guests are Mrs. Wen, Yuan Chumo and Mr. He.At that time, the suspicion of the first two people was ruled out, so Mr. He naturally became the biggest suspect.

But Mr. He resolutely refused to admit that he had committed the theft, and the town office couldn't find anything from him at that time, so he had to let him go.After Mr. He left, the Lin family still insisted that he had stolen the stack of papers, so Lin Yuxi gave up the position of patriarch to Lin Yubin, and followed Mr. He all the way, trying to get back the book case from him.

When they arrived at Caoxi Town one after the other, Lin Yuxi still couldn't chase the book case back, so he became irritable.At that time, an old friend of his was leading a security team nearby, so he went to arrest this person, hoping that he would arrest Mr. He and force him to return the book case.

Unexpectedly, after Mr. He heard the news, he panicked and asked for help everywhere.Just at this time, an armed group passed by nearby, so he came to the door and paid a lot of money to hire them to protect him.The gang didn't know what happened, but after receiving the money, they agreed to his request.

So the two groups engaged in a firefight near Caoxi Town, and as a result, both sides were injured, and Caoxi Town was also destroyed.Lin Yuxi's old friend also died of serious injuries in the fire and slander.After the ceasefire between the two sides, the armed group escorted Mr. He back home, and then left.

Lin Yuxi recruited some of the subordinates left behind by the old man, and still pursued Mr. He closely.But after the battle of Caoxi Town, those subordinates of his old man didn't want to suffer any more casualties, and they couldn't make a living, so they spread around and temporarily made a living by begging, and then they even controlled the beggars near and far, and became A huge beggar gang.

They harassed the He family from time to time, trying to force the He family to hand over the book case.But the He family had no bookshelves to hand over, and they could only struggle to cope under the persecution of these people.At the same time, the young master of the He family met a girl from Caoxi Town, and had a good impression of her.

Because Mr. He was responsible for the destruction of Caoxi Town, he also felt guilty towards this girl, so even though he had arranged a marriage for the Young Master's family in the early years, he still agreed with the Young Master's family to associate with her.Later, the Shaodong family even proposed to dissolve the marriage contract with the family they were originally engaged to, and the family actually agreed.

So He Shaodong's family married that Miss Cao. At this time, because Mr. He couldn't bear the harassment of Lin Yuxi and others, he quickly let go and handed over the huge family business to He Shaodong's family.He Shaodong's family really had a headache for people like Lin Yuxi, so they came up with a way, which was to recruit these people into the He family's property.

He was thinking that when these people had a place to settle down, they would naturally stop harassing the He family.After the news got out, many people on Lin Yuxi's side really fell in love, among them Qi, Feng, Quan, Yan, and Chu were the leaders.

After these five people joined He's family, He Shaodong's family felt guilty for his wife because his father destroyed Caoxi Town, so he proposed to rebuild a town on the ruins of Caoxi Town. Compensation for the wife.Qi, Feng and others took their beggars, and He and his wife worked hard to build the town.

But Lin Yuxi was naturally annoyed that the He family bought these many brothers, and after so long, he still couldn't get the book case back, so he no longer had any hope in his heart.So he was so angry that he kidnapped the wives and children of shopkeeper Yan and others, in order to force them to kill He Shaodong and his wife, and let out such a bad breath.

After the death of He Shaodong and his wife, he thought that Caoxi Town would become a ruin again, but shopkeeper Qi and others actually occupied the magpie's nest, so they started a rouge business in Caoxi Town, and made it famous and successful. A town of Rouge popped up out of thin air.

Ji Mingmei and I listened to Lin Yuxi's narration, our eyes shone with shock, we couldn't believe it.It turned out that the origin of Yanzhi Town was closely related to the Six Arts Association, and it was Lin Yuxi who forced shopkeeper Qi and others to kill in Caoxi Town at that time!

I remember Mrs. Qi said that the reason why she knew that shopkeeper Qi and others killed the He couple was because she and Xiuhong were classmates, and Hu Xiaotian was by Xiuhong's side at that time.Hu Xiaotian told her many things, and when he said it, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

But why did Hu Xiaotian know these things so well? Could it be that he was there at the time?

I asked Lin Yuxi, "Does Hu Xiaotian know about these things?"

"The old man who led the security team was Hu Xiaotian's father." Lin Yuxi replied, "So he naturally knew about it. But he was not at home at the time and came back after the incident. Because we were at odds with us at the time. It was a passing armed group, and later disappeared without a trace, because Hu Xiaotian's father died in this firefight, so he has been obsessed with finding out who this armed group is."

Lin Yuxi told us that Hu Xiaotian followed the whereabouts of that group of people at that time, and learned that the group had stayed in Heshang Town, so he stayed there for a while, but he couldn't find anything.He suspected that such a large group of armed men might be bandits from some hilltop.

So he tried his best to get a batch of guns, and tried his best to connect with a big bandit den, and sold the guns to them, hoping to make friends with them and help him find out who passed through Caoxi Town at that time. group of people.However, even though the line was established, and he went to the bandit den to become the second in charge, it seems that he has not been able to find out what happened back then all these years.

When Ji Mingmei and I listened to his words, we were both very distracted.Because of his words, all the things we encountered along the way were immediately linked together.It turned out that the source of many things was the theft of Donglin Thatched Cottage this time!
Because the book case was stolen from the Lin family, Lin Yuxi followed Mr. He all the way, found Hu Xiaotian's father near Caoxi Town, and fought with another group of armed forces protecting Mr. He.The fire destroyed Caoxi Town, causing Mr. He to feel guilty towards Mrs. He Shao who was born in Caoxi Town, so he allowed the Shaodong family to break the original engagement to marry her.

And the one who broke off the engagement with He Shaodong's family was actually Xiuhong's classmate.She learned from Hu Xiaotian that He Shaodong's family was dead, so she came to Yanzhi Town alone to avenge him.This is what we encountered in Rouge Town.

After the death of his father, Hu Xiaotian was obsessed with finding out the origins of the armed men, so he tracked them to Heshang Town.He didn't get any news there, but he met Wu Hanxiang and his wife Zhou Shi, and had feelings for Zhou Shi.Later, Wu Hanxiang feigned death, and this secret was used by Hu Xiaotian to force him to go to Wenling to create a landslide.This is what we encountered in Heshang Town.

Hu Xiaotian suspected that the group at that time might be bandits, so he got a batch of guns and planned to sell them to a big bandit den, hoping to establish a relationship with them and let them help him find out who the group was at that time.Unexpectedly, this batch of guns was robbed by Hushan, and it was Qin Jian who transported the batch of guns away.

At that time, Hu Xiaotian and Xiuhong were together, they didn't get the gun, but they accidentally stood up for the boatman and his wife, and asked Li Si, who was in charge of handing over the gun but neglected his duties, to seek justice for Wan'er.The boatman was very grateful to him for this, and started to go to Wenling to help him create landslides.This is what we encountered in Tantou Town.

Everything grew from the vine of the thatched cottage theft.

And after knowing these things, we are more and more suspicious that Hu Xiaotian is the real culprit behind the Wenling landslide.His father died trying to retrieve the stolen book case for the Lin family, and the book case belonged to the Six Arts Club.If it is a person with an extreme temperament, it is possible to blame it on the Six Arts Association.The Wen family belonged to the Ministry of Rites, and its main responsibility was to determine the orthodox succession.If the Wen family is destroyed, the inheritance of the Six Arts Association will naturally become a problem.

But what I can't understand is that the Wenling landslide happened after I left Wen's house.There are also indications that the real culprit behind the scenes has been waiting for me to leave the Wen family when I grow up, causing the landslide.In other words, he buried the Wen family only after he was sure that the Six Arts Association had passed on.And this contradicts the purpose of ruining the inheritance of the Six Arts Association.

I really couldn't figure out the truth of this, so I had no choice but to keep it in my heart and talk to Lin Yuxi first.After Lin Yuxi told us everything, he said that he had been hiding in Yanzhi Town for these years.Although both the Hos and his wife were dead, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping to find the whereabouts of the bookcase again.

But after so many years, the bookcase is still missing.Just when he was on the verge of despair, we appeared in Yanzhi Town, and the Qi family and others also underwent tremendous changes immediately.Only then did he find out that we came for the Wenling Mountainslide, and after identifying our identities, he followed us all the way.

Unexpectedly, we came all the way to Donglin Town.Donglin Town was the home he hadn't returned to for twenty years, so he was naturally surprised, so he entered Donglin Town ahead of time, and at this moment he got a piece of news - Lin Yubin's father-in-law, Yuan Chumo, was in a house because of theft. The shop was seized by someone!
The Yuan family has been a scholarly family for generations and is a wealthy family. If they hadn't been caught, who would have thought that Yuan Chumo would be able to do such a thing.Lin Yuxi shuddered when she heard about this, remembering that Yuan Chumo was also at Lin's house when the thatched cottage was stolen, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind—couldn't Yuan Chumo take the bookcase away?

As soon as this idea came up, he immediately went to find a few beggars to test Yuan Chumo, just in case the second wife also tried it.He is now a big beggar, although his territory is not here, it is easy to do these things.After he found out that what happened back then was really Yuan Chumo's doing, he immediately judged the truth at that time.

At that time, the mayor searched all three people in the Lin family, but found nothing on Yuan Chumo.So how did Yuan Chumo bring the bookcase out of the Lin family?The biggest possibility is that the mayor was his accomplice. Although he was named as a searcher, he cooperated with Yuan Chumo to take the bookcase out of the Lin family.

As soon as he judged the truth of the matter, the bitterness of being away from home for so many years came to his heart, and he was really resentful towards Yuan Chumo and the mayor in his heart.So he went to find Steward Lin and asked him to go back to Lin's house to cooperate with him, and then lured Yuan Chumo to go to the thatched cottage again to steal books.

What happened after this is what we have personally experienced, so there is no need to say it again.After Lin Yuxi finished speaking, his face turned pale, and he said to us: "I have done so many things that I shouldn't have done, tell me, can I still go back to the Lin family?"

Some of the things he did were not only wrong, but also appalling, so neither Ji Mingmei nor I responded to him.Lin Yuxi didn't say anything, just jumped off the wall and said, "Okay, I've told you everything I need to tell you, and it's time for me to do my own thing."

"What are you going to do?" Seeing his uneasy expression, I hurriedly asked.

"The Yuan family played tricks and killed my younger brother. I will naturally find out the truth and avenge him." He whispered a strange sound, and then the horned beast appeared on the wall.As soon as Lin Yuxi stretched out his hand towards it, the horned beast jumped into his arms.

Lin Yuxi embraced the horned beast, nodded towards us, and then walked out of the alley.I said loudly behind him: "There is no definite truth about Mr. Lin's death, you...you can't attack people indiscriminately. In case this matter is like the bookcase being stolen back then, you are wrong, then Regrets are useless!"

He has been expelled from the organization, and I have never taken over the Six Arts Association, so naturally I have no binding force on him, so I have to try my best to persuade him not to attack people out of thin air.Lin Yuxi froze when he heard my words, he must have been touched, and nodded with his back to us, then left.
