The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 183 Fishing (2)

Bu Ying, Ji Mingmei and I came to the provincial capital to look for Xiuhong. Bu Ying learned of Xiuhong's previous residence from Mrs. Yan Zhizhen Qi, and rushed to the provincial capital to find out her whereabouts.After so many years, Xiuhong would naturally not stay where he was. He originally wanted to stay in the provincial capital to continue inquiring, but unexpectedly met Jindi and Hu Xiaotian, so he confronted me with them.

The result of the confrontation was that Hu Xiaotian categorically denied everything, and we have no substantive evidence against him.At this time, Jindi suggested that everyone give me the plaques in their hands, so as to wake up the Six Arts Association.In my opinion, among these people, Hu Xiaotian is the least willing to hand over the sign to me.

But who knew that things were beyond my expectation in the end, Hu Xiaotian was willing to hand over the brand after hesitation, but Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei firmly opposed me to take over the Six Arts Club.I was dumbfounded and looked at them in disbelief.Ji Mingmei dodged her eyes, not daring to meet my gaze.

On the contrary, Bu Ying was blunt and told me that the reason why he opposed my taking over the Six Arts Club was because he felt that the things of that year had not been clarified.Since the people behind the scenes are trying their best to push me to the position of the leader of the Six Arts Association, then this matter is very suspicious. How can we make a hasty decision before the truth is known, so that the people behind the scenes can get what they want?
What he said was actually very reasonable, but we have known each other for so long, but he has never revealed this idea to me, and it is unpleasant to say it suddenly in front of so many people.There is also Ji Mingmei, we have supported each other along the way, and we have already had some inexplicable feelings, and I also regard her as the most trustworthy person.

But she also kept this idea from me for so long, and only firmly opposed me when the matter came to an end. I can imagine the loss in my heart.I was thinking wildly for a while, and I didn't care about what to say, but Jin Di looked at Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei for a long time, thoughtful, and then asked them: "Are you really against him taking over the Six Arts Association?"

I was immediately awakened by her question. It turned out that it was Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei's respective fathers who opposed me taking over the Six Arts Club.Bu Ying's father, Bu Xiangkong, has disappeared for a long time. Could it be that he told Bu Ying not to give me the sign before he disappeared?
And Ji Mingmei's father, Ji Youjie, once told me that he felt that the people behind the scenes had been waiting for me to grow up and leave the Wen family, and as soon as I left the Wen family, the Wen family was immediately buried by a landslide.As for why the person behind the scenes waited for me to grow up, he seemed to have an answer, but he refused to tell me.

Looking at it now, when he asked Ji Mingmei to leave Ji's house with the signboard with me, he actually told her that she was not allowed to give the signboard to me.Both Ji Youjie and Bu Xiangkong think that I am part of the conspiracy behind this, even a participant in the conspiracy!
I thought of this at the time and almost laughed out of breath.Because this is so absurd, I was still in my infancy when the Wei family tragedy happened, who would discuss conspiracy with an infant in my infancy?Besides, the consequence of this conspiracy is to destroy the two families who gave birth to him and raised him at the same time.

Absurdity is absurdity, but Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei's determination did not waver.Since I can't collect all the six cards, I can't take over the Six Arts Club, let alone wake it up.After everyone discussed, they had no choice but to find out what happened back then, and then talk about taking over the Six Arts Club.

So I came to the provincial capital together with Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei, intending to continue to track down Xiuhong's whereabouts.In the house that Xiuhong rented back then, we found her former landlord.After so many years, the landlord will naturally not know the whereabouts of Xiuhong, but he has informed us of the whereabouts of the tenant after Xiuhong.

Anyway, we had no clues, so we searched for this tenant with the intention of looking for a needle in a haystack, thinking that if Xiuhong left any clues in this house back then, we could ask her about it.The tenant's name is Cuiping, and she is a female gentleman in a well-known book apartment in the provincial capital. She was only twelve or thirteen years old when she rented here.

The so-called book apartment is a high-end brothel. As for what "Mr." does, since she lives in the book apartment, it is self-evident.The reason for this title is that they made a living as storytellers at the earliest time, and they were all female storytellers.

The three of us came to the door, and the people in the book house were quite surprised when they saw it, because they had never seen anyone bring a girl to the book house, so they almost thought that Ji Mingmei came to learn art from a teacher.We said we were looking for someone, and the people in the book house were very polite, so we were not angry, they just asked who we were looking for, and he would answer us after asking Mr.

After hearing that we were looking for Cuiping, the man's face became a little weird.We were all shocked when we saw this, thinking that something happened to her and we couldn't find it.The people in the book apartment saw us all staring at him, and hurriedly explained that something happened to Cuiping.

As for the situation, the person was unwilling to say at first, but after Bu Ying revealed his identity, he immediately knew everything, so we learned that this lady named Cuiping had an accident, and she is still in a coma .We all looked at each other, and Bu Ying said in surprise, "You haven't seen us yet, why are you bewitched?"

It sounded like even if she wasn't bewitched before, as long as she saw us, it wouldn't be a good thing.So the person in Shuyu tilted his head and looked around us carefully after hearing the words, probably because he was afraid that he would also encounter poisonous hands.Before he could speak, Bu Ying asked him to take him to see the unconscious Cuiping.

The female gentleman in the book apartment didn't have any inconvenience, so the person took us to Cuiping's room after hearing the words.Cuiping was indeed still in a coma, and naturally she couldn't ask anything she wanted to ask. After seeing is believing, we had to leave first and plan to come back another day.Anyway, now that we have arrived in the provincial capital, we won't leave in a day or two.

But just as we were about to leave, Cuiping, who had been unconscious all this time, woke up slowly.She woke up just in time. We were all overjoyed when we saw this, so we asked her a few words straight to the point.Just these few words made our hearts feel cold again.

Cuiping said, are you here to find Xiuhong?She was dead, dead for ten years.

Xiuhong is dead!

We were all shocked when we heard the words, and I was even a little lost. I was about to ask more details, but Bu Ying didn't wait for me to ask, so he asked, "So you know Xiuhong?"

Cuiping sat up from the bed and leaned against the head of the bed, and replied seriously: "I don't know Xiuhong, but I know her."

Maybe Xiuhong really left some traces in Chuzhu, and I suddenly had a glimmer of hope in my heart.Bu Ying pondered and said: "You know her even though you don't know her, no wonder you are going to be evil, are you a good friend? Is she looking for you in the middle of the night, or you looking for her in the middle of the night?"

Cuiping glanced at him in surprise, then at us, and said thoughtfully, "This man is full of nonsense but can still be so serious. Is he a habitual offender?"

Although Ji Mingmei and I were both shocked by Xiuhong's death, we almost couldn't help laughing and nodded at the same time.Seeing us nodding, Cuiping looked at us with great interest, and said with her chin in her hand, "You two are having adultery!"

This time it was Bu Ying's turn to laugh, he hurriedly asked Cuiping, "How did you find out?"

"Because of you. You look like a gangster. Which woman can't feel safe standing next to you?" Cuiping asked seriously.

Bu Ying was choked by her and almost died, and after recovering, he asked in doubt: "Do you really have business like this?"

"Acceptance, our book apartment is my best business." Cuiping smiled, with some innocence vaguely ignorant of world affairs.

We all stared at her for a while, and although she had programmed each of us, there was no displeasure in our hearts.Her dialogue with us was neither deliberately flattering nor bitterly sarcasm, just like joking and joking among acquainted friends, which made people feel a little relaxed for some reason.

And this is only the first meeting between us, I can't help but sigh in my heart, this is really a magical skill.Just as I was thinking about it, I heard her say again: "You must not understand what I said just now—how can I know her if I don't know her?"

Hearing what she said, I hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Isn't it because you both rented the same place and she left traces there?"

"Well, no." She answered me in the nasal cavity, and said to the person who brought us in, "You go out first, we have something to say."

The man bowed slightly to us, then turned and left the room, and closed the door for us when he left.The three of us have never been to a place like a book apartment, but after we came here, we only felt that the way people are treated here is thoughtful, no wonder people linger and forget to spend a lot of money.

After the person left, Cuiping motioned for us to sit down at the table in the room, while she stretched out her hands to straighten her messy hair, and said, "Is there hot tea in the teapot on the table? Please pour it yourself, I won’t get out of bed.”

Bu Ying reached out to pick up the teapot and poured us each a cup of tea, then we watched her and waited for her to speak.Cuiping straightened her hair, but then messed with it again, seemed a little distressed, and frowned, "Where do we start?"

"Just tell me how you know her, is there anything you can't say?" Ji Mingmei continued.

"You all inquired about my previous residence," Cuiping mused, "Why don't you start with that residence."

That place was the house that Cuiping and Xiuhong had rented together. It was not a deep house compound, but an ordinary two houses side by side.The landlord of this house is sixty-three this year, but he is still far from the longevity of this house.The house was built by the landlord's grandfather's generation. Because it has existed in this world for a long time, it is very open-minded. There are loopholes everywhere, and there is cool wind in winter and rain in summer.

Naturally, such a house would not be in the eyes of the rich. The only advantage is that the rent is cheap.Cuiping's family is not actually from the provincial capital, but when she was very young, her parents took her to live in the provincial capital.Her father is a bad gambler, and he hasn't done anything serious since he came to the provincial capital.

Her mother quarreled with him every day for this, but it didn't help.Once, the gambler's father even stole her mother's only dowry to gamble.Cuiping's parents lived a noisy life like this. During this period, her father even met a woman at the gambling table, and even left his wife and son, but somehow came back by himself.

Then one day my father won the money and redeemed the lost dowry, but fell into the gutter and died on the way home.Since she had no money to attend to his funeral, her mother sold Cuiping into the book apartment.Of course it was sad to say it, but we didn't feel much when we heard it.

Because such things are not uncommon, even if you call out the other girls in this book house, everyone can tell a similar story.What's more, what does this matter have to do with Xiuhong? We all watched her before we heard it, and waited for her to continue.

"So far, this matter has nothing to do with Xiuhong. But don't worry, I'm going to talk about her soon. On the night my aunt decided to sell me to the book apartment, I received a letter .”

"A letter?"

"Yes, someone sent a letter that night, but the person who sent the letter didn't know the name of the recipient. He only said that the letter was for a woman aged seventeen, eighteen or twenty, who lived here. Who to send it to. I was actually only twelve or thirteen years old at the time, but seeing someone send such a strange letter, I lied to the sender that I was seventeen this year. Maybe the sender really believed what I said, and Maybe he was too lazy to return the letter, so he really left the letter to me."

After the messenger left, Cuiping opened the letter to read.And it wasn't until then that she realized that the letter actually said something unbelievable.
