The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 177 Meeting the Joyful Meeting (11)

This is very unreasonable, but who told someone to have a gun?Looking at his expression, I knew it would be useless to continue talking, so I simply shut up.Brother Fat was very depressed, and was about to turn around and leave, but I suddenly stopped him: "Wait, I have a question to ask."

Brother Fat turned around and looked at me without speaking.I had no choice but to say to myself: "Since this batch of gold belongs to the Zhou family, you have locked him up for more than 20 years and tried your best to find out the whereabouts of the gold. What about the Zhou family? If the batch of gold is recovered, what should we do with it?" ?”

Brother Fat's eyes flickered, he coughed lightly, and said, "Not long after Zhou Xunshan stole the gold, Mr. Zhou passed away."

I said "Oh", thoughtfully, and immediately asked: "What about the other Zhou family members?"

"There are no other Zhou family members, and the only two remaining Zhou family members are here." Brother Fei didn't answer, but Wang Honger said, "He and I are the only two members of the Zhou family." .”

"Then I have to ask for advice." I didn't turn to look at Wang Honger, but stared at Brother Fat, "Since the only two Zhou family members are in prison, if this batch of gold is recovered, Who should it belong to?"

"That's right." Ji Mingmei immediately answered, "Back then, Mr. Zhou wanted to pursue this matter, so you can detain Zhou Xunshan. Now that Mr. Zhou has passed away, and there is no one else in the Zhou family, then This batch of gold belongs to him no matter whether it can be found or not. Why do you have any reason to hold him back!"

"Unless your security team has something that you shouldn't have about this batch of gold." I continued, "If that's the case, I'm not afraid that you will detain us. One of my friends is a policeman from the Provincial Police Department. They will come here to look for us. The provincial police department will definitely be alarmed by then!"

Brother Fat gave us a strange look, but there was no fear in his eyes.When I saw this, I couldn't help but feel a little bit in my heart, regretting that I shouldn't have spoken so bluntly.These words didn't frighten him, if he took some measures against us before Bu Ying came, then Bu Ying would not be able to save the near fire.

"First, you didn't come in because of the gold case back then. Zhuo Yue actually stole the gold from the security team, and you appeared next to the fake gold he used as a cover-up. So what's the problem if I lock you up?" Brother Fei said slowly, "Secondly, it is up to the Zhou family to decide who gets the gold after it is found. However, it must be found by our security team. This is the agreement between his father and the security team. The gold was lost in the hands of the security team." , and get it back from the security team."

"So, if Zhou Xunshan tells the whereabouts of that batch of gold now, can he get out of this prison and get the 10 taels of gold?" I asked.

Brother Fat nodded solemnly.Ji Mingmei and I glanced at each other, then turned our heads to look at Zhou Xunshan again, but he was still unmoved, and he didn't even change his posture after hearing this.He doesn't want to be able to get out of the cage and have a huge sum of money. Instead, he is willing to stay in this dark prison cell.

Does he have a grudge against gold?
"Are you afraid that if you tell the whereabouts of gold, they will backtrack?" I couldn't help but said to Zhou Xunshan, "If you are worried, when my friend from the police department arrives, I can ask him to help you supervise the security team. Make sure they keep their promises."

Zhou Xunshan still didn't respond.Seeing this, Ji Mingmei couldn't help feeling angry, "You don't want a wife, you don't want gold, you don't even want freedom, what exactly do you want?"

Wang Hong'er let out a long sigh, walked up to the fence, and said to Brother Fei, "You allow us to persuade him."

Brother Fat glanced at her deeply, turned and left without saying anything, leaving the four of us in the cell, but did not separate us into two cells again.

"By the way, why did Zhuo Yue send you to the cell?" Seeing Brother Fei leave, Wang Honger sat on the ground and asked us.

"You are with him, shouldn't we ask you this?" Ji Mingmei and I were surprised at the same time.

"I don't know." Unexpectedly, Wang Honger was more surprised than us. "Our original plan was to let me appear next to the fake gold, and then send me in to persuade him. Who would have thought that when you came to the door, he Then he brought you into the mountain again, and let you also appear in the pit."

"So this matter was decided by Zhuo Yue himself?"

"Yes." Wang Honger nodded, and suddenly frowned again, "Who are you guys, why are you looking for Zhuo Yue?"

"Who the hell is Zhuo Yue?" I asked back, "Why did I plan with you for so long to save Zhou Xunshan?"

"Who is he?" Wang Honger said slowly, "He is the son of the steward of the Zhou family. He and Xun Shan grew up together, and they are siblings. Even the name was given to him by Xun Shan's father, one mountain after another. "

Only then did Ji Mingmei and I suddenly realize that he and Wang Honger are Zhou Xunshan's wife, and the other is Zhou Xunshan's friend who grew up with him. No wonder we put so much effort into saving him.It's just that since Zhuo Yue is also a member of the Zhou family, why did he lead the Wenling landslide and the thatched book theft.

Could it be that the Zhou family has something to do with the Six Arts Club?The amount of gold was astonishingly large, could it also be related to the Six Arts Association?I was thinking about it, when Wang Honger asked again: "What about you, what is your relationship with Zhuo Yue, why did you suddenly come here?"

I thought that these people in front of me might all be related to the Six Arts Association, so I didn't hide anything, and told about the tragedy of the Wei family, the Wenling landslide, and the theft of books in the Caotang. The people behind the latter two incidents all pointed to Zhuo. Yue.Wang Honger seemed to tremble when he heard this, and then he took a deep breath and said, "You are the child who was 'picked' from the tree!"

She really knew this.

"Are you also members of the Six Arts Association?" Ji Mingmei glanced at her suspiciously, then looked back at Zhou Xunshan.

"Over the years, Zhuo Yue has been away from here for a few days every year. I asked him where he went many times, but he kept silent, but it turned out that he did two such big things!" Wang Honger's voice Trembling slightly, "He even dared to attack the Wen family, he... is crazy!"

She revealed in her words that she didn't know about Zhuo Yue's behavior. Although I didn't say anything, I was skeptical.Wang Honger was silent for a while, and then said: "The Wen family has been buried by the landslide, and the book case of Donglin Cottage has been stolen, so the piece of paper on your body is the only one left. That is to say , you are the only one who can take over the Six Arts Club."

Ji Mingmei and I nodded at the same time.

"Then if you are like Xunshan, you will be here for 30 to [-] years?" Wang Honger's face began to turn pale.

I want to tell her that I won't be locked up here for 30 years.Bu Ying knows my whereabouts like the palm of his hand, and will come here to join me soon.He is a policeman and will not allow the security team to detain me here without permission.Unexpectedly, before I could say anything, I heard someone say: "Are you a child of the Wei family?"

I casually replied: "Yes."

I didn't realize until after I finished answering that what I said just now was dry and hoarse, like a door that hadn't been opened for many years was suddenly pushed open, and a puff of smoke and dust rushed towards my face.But this voice was not from Ji Mingmei and Wang Honger, I turned around suddenly to look behind me, Wang Honger and Ji Mingmei also seemed to have seen a ghost, with unbelievable expressions on their faces.

Zhou Xunshan, who hadn't spoken for more than twenty years, spoke!

Zhou Xunshan got up from the ground silently. He was thin and thin, but suddenly moved. If we didn't know that he was alive, we might all regard him as a ghost.He slowly walked in front of me, stood still, then tilted his head and narrowed his eyes, looking at me right there.

The light in the cell was not good, so he looked at it for a long time without making a sound, as if he was appraising some antique porcelain.I was inexplicably surprised by him, and felt uncomfortable.After a while, I suddenly discovered that Zhou Xunshan was crying silently at me!
What's the situation?A man who had been imprisoned for more than 20 years suddenly began to cry towards me in silence.I was both startled by him and a little creepy, and before I said anything, Zhou Xunshan turned his head away, wiped his tears with his hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go."

Wang Honger was overjoyed, "Are you willing to go out? Go, go!"

As she spoke, she knocked on the fence vigorously, and quickly attracted the strong guards over.Wang Honger told him to report back to Brother Fei, saying that Zhou Xunshan agreed to be released from prison.The strong man left quickly, but Ji Mingmei and I still didn't understand what happened right now.

Zhou Xunshan's sudden willingness to be released from prison was due to what Ji Mingmei and I said, there is no doubt about it.In other words, he was not willing to get out of prison for his wife Wang Honger, nor for his childhood friend Zhuo Yue, but he was willing to get out of prison suddenly for me, a stranger.

Not only was he willing to get out of prison, but he also broke the precept of more than 20 years and spoke up.When I think of this, I feel inexplicably terrified, so I can only comfort myself. Zhou Xunshan is also a member of the Six Arts Association, and I am the best candidate for the next leader of the Six Arts Association. He is worried that if I am really locked up here If it takes too long, it will delay the affairs of the Six Arts Festival.

But before this thought passed, I thought again, since he, Wang Honger and Zhuo Yue are all members of the Six Arts Association, his father must be too.Then that sum of gold is very likely to be owned by the Six Arts Club, but Zhou Xunshan stole the gold back then, and he didn't say a word after that, even his father couldn't let him speak.

He doesn't even care about his own father, he still cares about the Six Arts Club, and he still cares about me?
"Anyway, let's go out and talk about it first." Ji Mingmei saw that my expression was changing, so she came over and tugged on my sleeve.

While talking, brother fat has already rushed to the cell.He was overjoyed when he learned that Zhou Xunshan was willing to be released from prison, and immediately asked the strong men to open the prison door and let us out.Zhou Xunshan returned to silence at this moment, and after following us out of the cell, he looked back again.

He has been in this prison for more than twenty years, and now he stepped out of the prison, walking very slowly, and he was indescribably desolate.That feeling, as if he had merged with this prison, and every step he took was stripping himself, which was unbearably painful.I looked at him from behind, obviously this prison is not a good place at all, but somehow I couldn't bear to let him go.

After Ji Mingmei came out, she asked Brother Fei: "How do you exchange people and gold?"

"Isn't it written in Zhuo Yue's letter that if the security team agrees to release you, they will go to the alley of his house at Sishi today. He will wait there. At that time, he will put the gold at the entrance of the alley, and we will release you." Go into the alley."

"Isn't he afraid that after you get the gold, they will be caught in a blink of an eye?" I said while looking at Zhou Xunshan in front of me.

"I don't know about that." Brother Fat shrugged.

"Then after you get the gold, will you still come to arrest us?" Ji Mingmei raised her face and asked him.

Brother Fat gave her a serious look, and replied, "Guess."

Ji Mingmei was stunned for a moment, then gave him a serious look, and replied, "You didn't brush your teeth this morning, your mouth really stinks." Then she walked towards me, Wang Honger followed behind her.

Brother Fei led the strong men of the security team to escort us, walked out of the county police prison all the way, and walked towards Zhuo Yue's residence.The alley is quite a distance from the county police prison, and we walked for more than half an hour before we reached it.There are only two families in his alley, and the house next door is actually his, so there is no one at this time.
