Chapter 2643

Zhou Zhiqing has lived on the seabed alone for so many years, and she has already automatically blocked the previous things. If she asks this question, I am afraid that she will dig out the horrible and unbearable memories buried deep in her heart. Out!

"it does not matter!"

Zhou Zhiqing shook her head, but a trace of indifference appeared on her face.

"I know, if you want to find out what happened that year, you must start with me! It's just... I was only fifteen years old at the time. I really don't know what happened. What I know is not very clear, what I know...is nothing more than a few words I heard from adults, plus the result of thinking hard when I was alone at the bottom of the sea in the years after the incident happened!"

Saying that, Zhou Zhiqing looked at the few people around her, hesitated a little, and then she opened her mouth tentatively!

"If you...don't mind, why don't you go to my house to have a rest! I'll tell you about what happened back then!"

As she said that, Zhou Zhiqing looked at the six of them with a very expectant expression, as if... she was like a girl who invited her friends to her house for the first time!

"OK!"

Yuan Yue was the first to agree!

"Okay, it happens that I'm tired from walking, so I need to find a place to rest!"

Xiao Qi also agrees!

Everyone naturally understood the meaning of this, and they all agreed!

So, Zhou Zhiqing walked in the front very excitedly, leading the six of them to swim towards the place where she lived!

Zhou Zhiqing's home is in a small courtyard not far from the inn! Her so-called home was really her home, her real home back then! Although her family members are all dead, but...she still guards her home! She even dug up the corpses of her parents, brother and sister from the corpse mountain at the door after the incident, buried them in the yard behind her home, and erected three tombstones! One is the joint burial of her parents, one is her elder brother's, and the other is her sister's!

Zhou Zhiqing showed everyone a brief tour of her home, and then brought everyone into the main hall, inviting Fang Fang and the six of them to sit down!

"Here... there is no more tea! The six of you will just make do with it!"

Zhou Zhiqing's words sounded like a small joke, but this joke concealed her inexpressible sadness!

"I'm full of sea water, why drink tea!"

Li Zhaowen also made a little joke to liven up the atmosphere!

"puff......"

Sure enough, after staying at the bottom of the sea for a long time, the laughter became very low. Zhou Zhiqing couldn't help laughing out after hearing this! It's just that this smile was only fleeting, and then... her expression became serious and gloomy!

"Back then, the city lord of Yangcheng was a very handsome scholar. His personality was very calm, he did things without rushing, and he didn't fight or grab! Under his control, Yangcheng was peaceful. Although it was not a very rich city, But the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are very comfortable and satisfying!"

Zhou Zhiqing began to slowly talk about the events of that year,

"It's just... there is a big family. They are not satisfied with the status quo. They hope that their city lord can be sharper and more motivated, so as to lead the entire city to obtain greater wealth and profits, and make Yangcheng a city. It is a very powerful, even combat-capable city! Therefore, some big families headed by them and some families headed by the city lord have relatively big differences on the management and development of Yangcheng! Of course, these are what I heard from my family I heard it when the adults were chatting with the neighbors in the neighborhood, specifically... I don’t know what’s going on!"

Zhou Zhiqing was in her teens back then, so of course she didn't quite understand what these complicated political struggles represented, and what was the significance of their fighting. She thinks that if the people are happy, isn't that better than anything else?

"Then one day, the city lord was assassinated! At that time, the lord of the world was retreating and practicing spiritually, and he was almost indifferent to the outside world. Every city was equivalent to controlling himself, so... this This matter was suppressed by the inside of Yangcheng, and other cities did not understand it very well! And since then, the people of Yangcheng have been controlled! We cannot enter and leave the city at will. If we want to leave Yangcheng, we need to have Only the documents approved by the City Lord's Mansion will do, and the City Lord's Mansion at that time, except for their own confidantes, will not issue such a document to leave the city for the people who don't know the details!"

Zhou Zhiqing tried her best to recall the events of that year,

"Then you people don't protest?"

Xiaoqi looked at Zhou Zhiqing and asked.

"Protest? Whoever protests will be arrested, and then...you will never see that person go home! After that...no one dares to protest them openly!"

Zhou Zhiqing lowered her head helplessly,

"That is to say, since that time, the people in your city have been controlled by those who assassinated the city lord!"

Yuan Yue expressed her own understanding!

"Yes, we had already lost our freedom at that time! Apart from not being able to freely enter and exit the city gates, we were also not allowed to walk on the streets at will. Except for necessary living needs, all other behaviors must be monitored by them!"

Zhou Zhiqing remembered very clearly that she wanted to go to the street to buy rouge, but was driven home by those patrolling the street!

"Then... have you ever doubted the candidate for the assassination of the city lord?"

Fang Fang looked at Zhou Zhiqing and asked!

"At that time, I didn't quite understand it, but when I listened to my parents chatting with my brothers and sisters, I heard them say that the person who assassinated the city lord was most likely sent by the big family that opposed the city lord!"

Zhou Zhiqing recalled.

"And later when I was living alone on the seabed, I thought about this issue carefully, and the conclusion...is the same! Apart from that family, I can't think of other people who might kill the city lord!"

"That family...what's the last name? What kind of family is it? What is their family business? Can you still remember?"

Equation asked again.

"Yes! Although I have lived at the bottom of the sea for so long, I find that I still remember very clearly the memory before I was fifteen years old, and it may be... that is the happiest time in my long life Let's live, so even some small details, I will remember very clearly! I remember, that family is in the wine shop business, and their wine shops not only have stores in Yangcheng, but also in other cities and even borders. Great business!"

Zhou Zhiqing said with confidence!
