The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 179 Meeting the Joyful Meeting (13)

Immediately, I couldn't be more stunned, and then thought that Zhuo Yue actually had a car, and Wang Honger also had a gun. These two really took great pains to save Zhou Xunshan from prison.And in the alley ahead there were vacant rooms they had prepared, which also showed that they were extremely well prepared for this operation.

When I thought of this, although I was emotional, I didn't have time to think about it. Taking advantage of Wang Honger temporarily blocking the security team, I quickly ran into the alley in front of me.Unexpectedly, just before we were about to rush into the alley, a missile hit Zhou Xunshan's back!
Zhou Xunshan screamed, he staggered two steps and was about to fall forward.Ji Mingmei and I were shocked when we saw that he had been shot, but fortunately we both reacted fairly quickly, we quickly supported him, raised him up in the air, and ran into the alley just like that.After entering the alley, we walked quickly to the third room on the left and reached out to push the door.

The door was indeed ajar, Ji Mingmei and I hurriedly pushed Zhou Xunshan into the room, and quickly turned around to close the door again.At the moment the door was closed, I glanced out of the corner of my eye.There were several drops of blood on the ground outside the door, I was startled, if Zhou Xunshan's blood had flowed on the ground just now, wouldn't the security team have followed the blood to find it?

But looking at it again, the bloodstains are walking along the road in the alley. If you want to chase people along the bloodstains, you can only chase to the bottom of the alley and go all the way out of the alley.When I saw the direction of the blood, I immediately admired Wang Honger and Zhuo Yue.They actually left bloodstains in the alley in advance to mislead the security team.

The blood is still fresh, and I don't know how they did it.It's just that they thought so thoroughly, yet Zhuo Yue died so easily, which is a bit strange.I closed the door, then turned around and settled Zhou Xunshan, helped him to sit against the wall, and then looked outside through the crack of the door.

Wang Honger quickly ran over from the outside, as if chasing the blood, turning around and shooting at the back from time to time.The people from the security team chased after him, and they also followed the blood trail.Brother Fat was running out of breath, and his face was also very ferocious. The fat on his face wished that the pieces of fat on his face would turn into throwing knives and kill Wang Honger.

But the throwing knife couldn't get out of its sheath, so he stopped, and happened to stop outside the door where we were hiding, then raised his hand and glanced forward, and then shot decisively.My heart skipped a beat, this alley is so empty, there is no place to hide my body, this shot is probably going to hit Wang Honger.

Sure enough, as soon as I changed my mind, I heard Wang Honger scream, and then I heard the sound of her falling to the ground.I turned my head back in horror, and Ji Mingmei also had a tearless look on her face, she opened her mouth and asked me silently: "Wang Honger?"

I nodded towards her, feeling that everything that happened in front of me was so absurd.Obviously all of this was manipulated by Wang Honger and Zhuo Yue, but now they are both dead, but they left Zhou Xunshan to me and Ji Mingmei.But the question is, what is our business in this?
We were inexplicably involved in this incident, and now we are even hunted down by the security team.Although he temporarily escaped from the security team at this moment, Zhou Xunshan was already on the verge of death after being shot, and he could no longer go out and turn back the same way he had planned to escape.I smiled wryly, not knowing why things turned out like this.

We fled all the way before, and no one had time to think about anything in the panic. Now that we are hiding here, I have time to recall what happened before.Zhuo Yue and Wang Hong'er were extremely thoughtful, the only thing they didn't expect was that they themselves died so casually.

So what are we going to do with Zhou Xunshan now?
Ji Mingmei also looked at me helplessly, with confusion in her eyes.Just when we didn't know what to do, Zhou Xunshan suddenly said, "Are you suffering from a headache, how should I deal with it?"

Before Ji Mingmei and I answered, he smiled and said, "You don't need to worry, I will die here soon. Then you go out and find the security team, this matter has nothing to do with you, you will be fine .”

He spoke calmly, I hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Since it has nothing to do with us, why did Zhuo Yue try to send us into prison?"

"For me." Zhou Xunshan smiled while coughing up blood, seemingly happy even though he was dying. "Aren't you surprised that I don't want to get out of prison no matter what, but after listening to your conversation with Wang Honger, I suddenly want to?"

I had thought about this at the time, but now I heard him bring it up again, and hurriedly said, "That's right, why is that?"

"Because, I can't let you stay there, let alone 20 years, even 20 days." Zhou Xunshan said.I couldn't help shivering when I heard these words, because the tone of his words was full of kindness!

Thinking of his intimate act of patting me on the back before, I felt even more terrified. Many wild thoughts flashed through my mind, and I said tremblingly, "You... who are you?"

"Who am I?" Zhou Xunshan whispered.He hadn't spoken for a long time, and it was already a bit difficult for him to speak, but now he was in a strange mood, and he sounded even more desolate, "My surname is Zhou, don't you know, no one has ever told you about the Zhou family ?”

"About the Zhou family?" I was even more surprised, "Should I know? No one told me."

"Oh." Zhou Xunshan lost his mind for a while, and then said, "Since no one has said it, let me tell you. The Wei family... Are you a child of the Wei family? The eldest son of the Wei family's wife is named Zhou , called Zhou Zhi'er, that's my younger sister..."

Before he finished speaking, I couldn't help but start trembling all over.It turns out that Zhou's family is Zhou Zhi'er - my mother's natal family!

We have long guessed that the tragedy of the Wei family was actually created by the people inside the Six Arts Association.Zhuo Yue was closely related to the Wenling landslide and the theft of books from the thatched cottage, and he was born in the Zhou family.So I took it for granted that the tragedy of the Wei family was also connected with it. At this moment, when I heard Zhou Xunshan say these words, I couldn't bear it, and blood rushed to my forehead, and I blurted out: "Since the Wei and Zhou families are good relatives , why do you still want to attack the Wei family like that!"

"The tragedy of the Wei family... the tragedy of the Wei family..." Zhou Xunshan murmured, and looked at me with pity, "When those things happened to the Wei family, I was already in prison."

I was stunned when I heard the words, and then I realized that he had been in prison for more than 20 years, but the tragedy of the Wei family happened 20 years ago.Could it be that these things have nothing to do with him, and Zhuo Yue did it all by himself?I have discussed with Ji Mingmei, Bu Ying and others, whether it is the tragedy of the Wei family, the Wenling landslide, or the stealing of books from the thatched cottage, the purpose of the people behind the scenes is to ensure that no one will compete with me, so that Allowing me to ascend to the position of leader of the Six Arts Association smoothly.

But in order for a person to be in power, he tried every means to ruin his family. This is an unexplainable paradox.But if it was the Zhou family who did all these things, then the matter could be explained.Because the Zhou family is my natal family, even if I hate what they have done, can I still make other relatives pay for their lives in order to avenge some relatives?
The Zhou family is the real culprit behind the scenes, this is the most reasonable explanation.But now Zhou Xunshan said that he had already been in prison before these things happened.The Wei family was destroyed not long after I was born, and I grew up in Wen's family. Although the Wen family treated me like a relative, I have never seen any real blood relatives.

Zhou Xunshan is Zhou Zhier's elder brother and my uncle.But at the moment, my heart is in a state of confusion. I don't feel the joy of seeing my relatives at all. Instead, I feel a burst of fear—even if these things have nothing to do with him, what if they still have something to do with the Zhou family?

"No, we searched all the way, and found that these things have more to do with Hu Xiaotian. Zhuo Yue came from the Zhou family, but his surname is not Zhou. Maybe these things are the collusion between him and Hu Xiaotian, and we don't know." Ji Mingmei Seeing through the thoughts in my heart, he reached out and held me, comforting me softly.

I forced a smile at her, indicating that I was fine.Zhou Xunshan saw that we were holding hands together, and a flower bloomed slightly at the corner of his mouth, "I don't know what you are talking about, but do you understand the purpose of Zhuo Yue sending you to the cell now?"

Now that it was so obvious, I naturally understood it.The reason why Wang Honger entered the cell was that Zhou Xunshan would not want to leave.And Zhuo Yue brought us in because he was afraid that Wang Honger's weight would not be enough to make him leave.And I am the nephew of Zhou Xunshan's direct relative, and also his only blood relative in the world today.

Using me as a bargaining chip to persuade Zhou Xunshan to leave, this is Zhuo Yue's real purpose of framing us.Wang Honger asked why we came to Zhuo Yue in the prison, in fact, he asked me to tell Zhou Xunshan my identity.

"What happened to the gold theft back then? Why did you appear in the warehouse? Where did the 10 taels of gold go?" Seeing that Zhou Xunshan's face was already pale, I couldn't help worrying, "You were seriously injured. If you can’t escape, you tell the security team the truth so that I can take you to the hospital for treatment.”

"It can't be cured." Zhou Xunshan said calmly, "But I can tell you the truth about gold. After more than 20 years, there should be an explanation for this matter."

"You have refused to talk about the whereabouts of the gold for so many years, do you just want to leave the gold to him?" Ji Mingmei tilted her head and looked at Zhou Xunshan.Although I didn't have the idea of ​​taking the gold for myself, when Ji Mingmei said this, I couldn't help being moved.

"If I really have the 10 taels of gold, there is nothing wrong with leaving it to him." Zhou Xunshan was silent for a while, "But in fact, the 10 taels of gold never existed from the beginning to the end."

This 10 taels of gold never existed from the beginning to the end!
When Ji Mingmei and I heard this, we were even more shocked than hearing 10 taels of gold disappear out of thin air, "This...how is this possible!"

Although I questioned it, I subconsciously believed it in my heart. Otherwise, if he had said it earlier, not only would the gold belong to him, but he would not have been locked in prison for so long.It's just that it was so shocking to say this, and it was hard for us to accept it for a while.

"Since gold doesn't exist, then...why didn't you say it earlier, and have to endure more than [-] years of imprisonment?" Ji Mingmei licked her lips, obviously not digesting the shock.

"Because although in fact there is no such 10 taels of gold, it should actually exist." Zhou Xunshan replied, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Ji Mingmei and I looked at each other, "So, the purpose of your years in prison is to prove that the gold was only stolen, not non-existent?"

"You are very smart." Zhou Xunshan looked at me approvingly, "Otherwise, under heavy siege, how can you have the supernatural ability to steal 10 taels of gold silently?"

"No!" Ji Mingmei retorted, "Since there is no such 10 taels of gold, how can there be such a theory of theft? Even if your father Mr. Zhou is your accomplice, what about the security team?"

"The security team is naturally my accomplice." Zhou Xunshan said, "There were three people who knew the truth at the time, our father and son and the security team leader Hu. All of this was concocted by the three of us."

"So after Head Hu was gone, the successor head thought that 10 taels of gold had been stolen, and kept you in the county police prison?"

"That's right, we had agreed in advance to keep me in prison, and let me bear the charge of the missing 10 taels of gold. Otherwise, we would have no way to find the 10 taels of gold to exchange for business."

"Business? So this 10 taels of gold actually exists, and it's not owned by the Zhou family, but...but..."
