C2642 Back Then(2)

Zhou Zhiqing had been living alone on the seabed for all these years, so she must have automatically blocked off all of the things that had happened before. If he asked her this, he was afraid that he would have to dig out those horrible, unbearable memories that she had buried deep in her heart!

"It doesn't matter!"

Zhou Zhiqing shook her head. A trace of indifference appeared on her face.

"I know that if you want to find out what exactly happened that year, you must start with me! But... I was only fifteen years old, and I don't really know exactly what it was, and all I know is that I've only heard a few things from the adults, and in the years since it happened, I've been out there on my own, racking my brains! '"

As she spoke, Zhou Zhiqing looked at the people surrounding her. She hesitated for a moment, and then she tried to open her mouth.

"You guys... if you don't mind, do you want to come to my house for a rest? I'll tell you in detail about what happened that year!"

With that, Zhou Zhiqing looked at the six of them with an expectant expression, as if... as if she were a young girl who had invited a friend to her house for the first time!

"Okay!"

Yuan Yue was the first to agree!

"Okay, I'm tired of walking, let's find a place to rest!"

Xiao Qi also agreed!

Everyone naturally understood the meaning behind this and expressed their agreement!

As such, Zhou Zhiqing excitedly walked in the front, leading the six of them towards their own residence!

Zhou Zhiqing's home was in a small courtyard not far from the inn! Her so-called home was really her home, her real home back then! Even though her family had all died, but... she still guarded her own home! She had even gone to the mountain where the bodies of her parents, her brother, her sister had been dug up, and buried them in the yard behind her own house, with three gravestones! One was the joint burial of her parents, one was her brother's, and the other one was her sister's!

Zhou Zhiqing brought everyone to a simple visit to her home, then led them to the main hall and invited Faang Cheng and the other six to sit down!

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

Zhou Zhiqing's words sounded like she was making a small joke, but within the joke, there was sadness that was hard for her to express!

"I'm full of seawater, why would I drink tea!"

Lee Zhaowen also made a small joke to liven up the atmosphere!

"Pfft ..."

As expected, after staying at the bottom of the sea for a long time, the laughing point became very low. When Zhou Zhiqing heard this, she couldn't help but laugh! However, this smile only flashed by for a moment, and then... her expression began to become serious and gloomy!

"Back then, the lord of Sun City was a very handsome scholar. He had a very calm personality. He did things neither too fast nor too slow. He did not fight for it! Under his control, Sun City was peaceful and peaceful. Although it was not a very rich city, the people lived and worked in peace, and their lives were very comfortable and satisfying!"

Zhou Zhiqing started to slowly talk about the things that happened in the past.

"Only... there's a big family that still doesn't want to be satisfied with the situation. They want their lord to be sharper and more ambitious, to lead the entire city to greater profits, to make Sun City a very powerful, or even combat-ready city! Thus, some of the big families led by them and some of the other families led by the lord of the city had a major disagreement over the management and development of Sun City! Of course, these are what I heard when I heard the adults in the family chatting with the neighbors. As for the specifics... I don't know what's going on either! "

Zhou Zhiqing was still a teenager, so of course she didn't really understand what these complicated political struggles meant, and what was the point of them fighting each other. She felt that the happiness of the common people was better than anything else.

"Then one day, the city lord was assassinated! At that time, the Sector Master was in seclusion, cultivating his spirit, so he didn't really care about what was happening outside. Each city was the same as controlling himself, so... this matter was suppressed by the Sun City people, and the other cities didn't know much about it! And since then, the people of Yang City had been under control! We can't just go in and out of a city like that. If we want to get out of Sun City, we'll need approval from the Lord's Office, and by then, the Lord's Office will not issue such letters to people who don't know anything about the city, except their own confidants!"

Zhou Zhiqing tried her best to recall what had happened in the past.

"Then won't the people protest?"

Xiao Qi looked at Zhou Zhiqing and asked.

"Protest? Whoever protested would be captured, and then... that person would never return home! After that... no one will dare to protest against them anymore! "

Zhou Zhiqing helplessly lowered her head.2

"In other words, from that time onwards, the citizens of your city have already been controlled by those who tried to assassinate the City Lord!"

Yuan Yue explained her own understanding!

"Yes, we lost our freedom at that time! Besides not being able to enter and exit the city gates freely, we are also not allowed to walk freely on the streets. Other than the necessities of life, everything else has to be monitored by them!"

Zhou Zhiqing remembered very clearly that when she wanted to go out to buy rouge, she was chased back home by the people patrolling the streets!

"Then you... have you ever suspected the candidate to assassinate the City Lord?"

Faang Cheng asked Zhou Zhiqing!

"At the time, I didn't quite understand it. But when I listened to the conversation between my parents, brother, and sisters, I heard them say that there was a high chance that the assassin had been sent by the great family against the lord of the city!"

Zhou Zhiqing recalled and said.

"Moreover, later on when I lived alone on the seafloor, I carefully thought about this problem. The conclusion... was the same! Other than that family, I can't think of anyone else who could have killed the city lord! "

"That family... What is their surname? What kind of family is it? What is their family's property? Can you still remember?"

Faang Cheng asked again.

"Yes! Though I have lived on the bottom of the sea for so long, I find that I have a very clear memory of what I was before I was fifteen years old, and it is possible that... It was the happiest day of my long life, so I can remember even the smallest details. I remember that the family ran a liquor store. They didn't just have stores in Sun City, they had them in other cities and even in their own territories. Their business was very big!"

Zhou Zhiqing said confidently!
