The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 44 Magpie Bridge Immortal (13)

Ye'er was still talking intermittently. After Zhou Zhi'er came back from Lang's house, she went back to the room without saying a word. She had been mending the unfinished clothes for the young master. After being questioned by Wei Rutao in the hall, She went back to the house, sewed up the last few stitches, and killed herself.

After experiencing her husband's strange death, she had long had the will to die, but because her son's clothes were not yet ready, she endured it until Wei Rutao's questioning of her just now became the last thing that crushed her. straw.

I have always looked at this whole matter from the perspective of an outsider. Ever since I found out that Mr. Ruan is Ruan Lang's father, and this matter of the Wei family is likely to have a great relationship with me, now I hear Zhou Zhier's The news of the death really made my heart choke, and my whole body was enveloped by an inexplicable sadness, and tears burst out of my eyes unexpectedly.

Bu Ying glanced at me silently, reached out and patted my shoulder, and looked a little sad.I took a deep breath, calmed down, raised my hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of my eyes, then twisted my shoulders, and broke away from his hand.At this time, the door opened, and Wei Rutao came out in a daze, muttering: "Zhiyan! Zhiyan! You died for no reason, but I failed to take care of your wife and children. I...I really I'm so confused."

He spoke these few words vaguely, but it made people feel empty, and there was no emotion in the words, but it was this kind of nothing that made people know what it means to be sad than to die.This old man almost personally sent his son and daughter-in-law to a dead end. Now he is hunched over, allowing despair to do whatever he wants on himself, but after careful investigation, what did he do wrong?

Looking at the whole incident, everything was flawless, like a prank by God, one ring after another, but it perfectly demolished the Wei family.After Wei Rutao walked out of the room, the patrol horse came out closely behind him. He wanted to go with him, but Wei Rutao shook his head slightly, signaling that he wanted to be alone.The patrolling horse had no choice but to stop, watched him go, then hesitated for a while, and went to the hall by himself.

Bu Ying pulled me and motioned me to follow him to the hall.When they arrived at the hall, Uncle Zhou was waiting there after finishing his work, so he asked where Wei Rutao was.The patrolling horse told about Zhou Zhi'er, Zhou Bo was shocked when he heard the words, immediately he didn't care about entertaining him, and ran to the backyard.The patrolling horse watched Uncle Zhou go out, frowning, as if he was also thinking about the cause and effect of the whole incident, but couldn't understand it.

This whole thing is natural, all the people involved, including Qiu'er, Ye'er, Ruan shopkeeper, Lang's family members, Xiuhong, everyone has their own affairs, these things are intertwined, and finally led to such a consequence .The whole thing looks very much like a well-arranged game, but if it is really a game, then the above-mentioned people must participate in this game at the same time, otherwise as long as one link goes wrong, things will go completely wrong. different results.

However, the performance of these people in this matter is beyond reproach, so even if this is a round, it is also a round that makes people have nothing to say.If someone really set up such a trick behind his back, how terrifying would this person's mind be?
I gasped, and quickly reorganized the matter in my mind.Wei Rutao mentioned several times that these people have the ability to influence the current situation. Although I don't know who these people are in his mouth, I have a rough guess about the disappearing sign——Wei Rutao and Zhou Zhier's father and others , presumably members of an organization.This organization has huge energy, enough to affect the current situation in this troubled world, but because the current situation is relatively chaotic, they don't know how to intervene, so Wei Rutao and others proposed to withdraw temporarily and wait for the situation to develop more clearly before intervening .

Some people agree with this idea, but naturally there are also people who oppose it, and Zhou Zhier's father is one of them.Looking at it now, it is natural that the opinions of Wei Rutao and others prevailed, so the organization withdrew from intervening in the current situation. The battlefield of war.

The missing sign should be the token of this organization, so when the sign disappeared, Wei Rutao and the patrolling horse were extremely anxious.But judging from the final results, the plaque finally appeared on Ruan Lang's mother, Qiu'er. So, could it be that Qiu'er took the plaque, and she was the one who made the arrangement?

But since this is the case, she asked Ruan Lang what to do with the sign to me?
I was just thinking about it, and I don't know how long it took, when Uncle Zhou suddenly staggered in from outside the hall, crying, my heart sank when I heard the sound, and I subconsciously thought something must have happened to Wei Rutao.Sure enough, after Uncle Zhou came in, he broke down in tears and said that Wei Rutao also committed suicide in the room.

I wasn't too surprised by this, he had experienced the misfortune of his whole family, and Zhou Zhi'er's death was actually related to him, so Wei Rutao was disheartened and blamed himself extremely, so I expected short-sightedness.

The patrolling horse was also stunned, and then a wry smile appeared on his face.Uncle Zhou handed him a note in his hand, and said tearfully, "Master left a note before he died, saying that the young master will be entrusted to you, please take him to Wenling Wen's house. "

I was shocked when I heard the words, and it really involved the Wen family in the end.The patrol horse casually put the note on the table, and I knew what was written on it at a glance, "If you sow melons, you will reap melons, if you sow beans, you will reap beans, and if you sow beans, you will reap seeds."This is exactly the letter that Gu Yin sent to Wen's family back then.

Wei Xiushu, the young master of the Wei family, was sent to the Wen family after the tragedy of the Wei family, where he grew up and changed his name to Wen Xiushu, which is exactly my name.And the whole thing I just witnessed speaks of the mystery of my origin!

When Gu Yin sent me to the Wen family back then, it happened that the young lady of the Wen family had a dystocia. After the old master Wen buried the young master of the Wen family, he "plucked" me from the tree, so the whole thing looked like the old man Wen A child is "planted" and a child is "grown" on the tree.

Although I had been vaguely aware of this, but at this time when Uncle Zhou said it himself, I almost lost control of my emotions. I stood up suddenly from the chair, clenched my fists and stared at Bu Ying.

Bu Ying didn't avoid my gaze, but also stood up and looked back at me, calmly said: "Did you see the whole thing clearly?"

Resisting the urge, I nodded.Seeing this, Bu Ying said to the two people in the hall: "Okay, the matter is over, go tell your master, you don't need to pretend anymore. You go down first, I will talk to him."

"Uncle Zhou" hurriedly responded when he heard the words, and left the hall together with the "City Patrolling Horse".When things got to this point, I naturally figured it out a long time ago. I never "become" Wei Zhiyan, nor did I go back to 20 years ago. As for the theory of becoming a ghost, it is even more nonsense.

Ghosts can't speak human words, but humans can speak nonsense.All of this was arranged by Bu Ying. He deliberately set up this scam in order to reenact the tragedy of the Wei family 20 years ago for me to see.Of course, what happened to the Wei family 20 years ago couldn't have happened in such a short period of time. It should be Bu Ying's intensive arrangement of events that allowed me to watch the whole thing in such a short period of time.

"Now you know that your surname is not Wen, and you were sent to the Wen family only after the Wei family tragedy happened." Bu Ying said slowly, "Now that you know the ins and outs of the matter, how do you feel?"

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, thought about it carefully, then opened my eyes, and calmly said, "I'll ask, you'll answer."

"Okay." Bu Ying replied simply.

"The first question," I said, "since you know my life experience like the back of your hand, you must also know that the reason why I went on the road to become a city patrol horse is to find the person who passed by Wenling back then, that is, to bring me back from Wei. Who is he, where is he, and why did Mrs. Wen send him to find him?"

"I'm also looking for him, so I don't know where he is. But what I can tell you is that his name is Gu Yin. He has been investigating the affairs of the Wei family since he left the Wen family. It is very likely that Mrs. Wen asked you to find him. I want you to learn the truth about the tragedy of the Wei family from him."

I settled down and thought about it carefully, the old man did say at the time that this person would tell me many things, but he didn't say what it was, Bu Ying's statement was credible, so he said: "Okay, the second question. Who are you, why do you know so much about the Wei family?"

Bu Ying was startled, and smiled wryly: "You didn't ask about the Wei family, but you asked about me first, it seems that you are still very wary of me."

I watched him say nothing, Bu Ying rubbed his nose, and said, "You don't have to look at me like that, Mrs. Wen should have told you that when he 'picked' you off the tree, everyone present except him Besides, there are two other people, one is Gu Yin, and the other is my father, his name is Bu Xiangkong."

He said and glanced at me, "I know you want to ask where he is now, but what I want to say is that I don't know either—just when you left Wen's house, he told the story of Wei's family back then. He killed me, and then left from home, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then, I have been looking for him but can't find him, so I found you first."

"The whereabouts are unknown since then, the same as Gu Yin?" I asked.

"That's right, it's the same as Gu Yin. The three people you 'plucked' from the tree back then, Gu Yin and my father are missing, and Wen's family was buried in a landslide, so to understand what happened back then, you can only rely on You and me."

"Grandpa Wen told me that it was a ritual to 'pluck' me off the tree, but he didn't tell me what the ritual was, do you know?" I asked him.

Bu Ying shook his head, "You should know by now that the Wei family and the Wen family, as well as Gu Yin and my father, are all members of a certain organization. I guess, this may be some kind of ritual within this organization."

I nodded, his guess was reasonable. "Although there is no trace of what happened to the Wei family, it was obviously set up by someone. Did you find out anything? By the way, where did you find these people who helped you act, and why did they help you?"

"Where you are now is the house of the Wei family back then." Bu Ying blinked at me, and a hint of humor suddenly appeared in the seriousness of his face, "After what happened back then, the servants of the Wei family scattered like birds and beasts. It was abandoned, so a family in the town moved in on their own initiative. I found them and said that the descendants of the Wei family are coming back, and if they help me put on a play, I promise to let them here Continue to live."

It suddenly dawned on me that he was being generous to others, no wonder they would help him, presumably the same is true of the Lang family.

"Actually, before Gu Yin disappeared, he went to my father once and told him what he found. Do you know what he found?" Bu Ying said.

I shook my head and clenched my fists unconsciously, "What did he find?"

"There is one thing that everyone ignored back then—although both Xiuhong and Wei Zhiyan received notes and letters by accident, this can only explain why Wei Zhiyan appeared at Lang's house, and why Xiuhong sent He led into the room, but couldn't explain why Wei Zhiyan appeared on Xiuhong's bed."

"That's right!" I exclaimed, "After he followed Xiuhong into the room, he would soon find out that something was wrong. Why did he still get into Xiuhong's bed?"

"There are two plausible explanations for this. One is that Wei Zhiyan really made a mistake at the time and fell in love with Xiuhong. The other is that after he entered the room, someone used extraordinary means to get him onto the bed. As for the truth that Gu Yin found out, It's the second type." Bu Ying said slowly, "He came to Songxia Town again later, and the Lang family had already moved away at this time, so there was no way to check anything. So, he went to find the corpses of Wei Zhiyan and Xiuhong who were salvaged back then. people. Guess what?"
