Zhou Zhiqing has lived alone at the bottom of the sea for so many years, and she has automatically blocked out those previous things. If she asks this question, she may have to dig out those horrible and unbearable memories buried deep in her heart.

Out!

"it does not matter!"

Zhou Zhiqing shook her head, with a look of indifference on her face.

"I know that if you want to find out what happened back then, you have to start from me! It's just... I was only fifteen years old at the time. What exactly happened, I really

It’s not very clear. What I know... are just fragments of words I heard from adults, plus the results of my hard thinking when I was alone at the bottom of the sea in the years after the incident happened!"

As she spoke, Zhou Zhiqing looked at the people surrounding her, hesitated for a moment, and then she tentatively spoke!

"If you... don't mind, would you like to go to my house and take a rest? I will tell you in detail what happened back then!"

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

"OK!"

Yuan Yue was the first to agree!

"Okay, I happen to be tired from walking, so I want to find a place to rest!"

Xiaoqi also agreed!

Naturally everyone understood what this meant and agreed one after another!

So, Zhou Zhiqing walked at 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! What she calls home is really her home, her real home back then! Although her family members are all dead,...

...But she still guarded her home! She even went to the corpse mountain at the door to dig out the bodies of her parents, brother, and sister after the incident, and buried them in the yard behind her home.

Three tombstones! One is that of her parents, one is that of her eldest brother, and one is that of her sister!

Zhou Zhiqing took everyone on a brief tour of her home, then took everyone into the main hall and invited Fang Fang and the six of them to sit down!

"Here... there is no tea! Just make do with it, six of you!"

Zhou Zhiqing's words sounded like a small joke, but the joke hid her indescribable sadness!

"If you have enough sea water, why should you 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 point of laughter becomes very low. After hearing this, Zhou Zhiqing couldn't help but laugh! However, this smile only flashed by, and then...

.Her expression began to become serious and depressed!

"Back then, the city lord of Yangcheng was a very handsome scholar. He had a very calm personality. He did things in a leisurely manner and did not fight or fight! Under his control, Yangcheng was peaceful. Although it was not a very wealthy city,

But the people live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are very comfortable and satisfying!"

Zhou Zhiqing began to slowly talk about what happened back then,

"It's just that... there is a big family. They are never satisfied with the status quo. They hope that their city lord can be more sharp and progressive, leading the entire city to gain greater wealth and profits, and make Yangcheng a

A very powerful, even combat-effective city! Therefore, some big families headed by them and some families headed by the city lord had relatively big differences over the management and development of Yangcheng! Of course, these are what I heard from my family.

I heard it when adults were chatting with neighbors, and I don’t know exactly what it was about!”

Zhou Zhiqing was a teenager at the time, so of course she didn't quite understand what these complicated political struggles represented and what was the meaning of their fighting. She felt that people living happily, wasn't it better than anything else?

"Then one day, the city lord was assassinated! At that time, the world lord was in seclusion for spiritual cultivation and was almost indifferent to the things outside. Each city was equivalent to controlling itself, so... this

This matter was suppressed internally in Yangcheng, and other cities did not know much about it! And from that time on, the people of Yangcheng have been controlled! We cannot enter and exit the city at will. If we want to leave Yangcheng, we need to have something

Only documents approved by the City Lord’s Mansion are enough, and at that time, the City Lord’s Mansion, except for their own confidants, would no longer issue such documents for people who didn’t know the details to leave the city!”

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

"Then you people won't protest?"

Xiao Qi looked at Zhou Zhiqing and asked.

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

Zhou Zhiqing lowered her head helplessly,

"That means that actually from that time on, the people in your city have been controlled by those who assassinated the city lord!"

Yuan Yue expressed her understanding!

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

Zhou Zhiqing remembers clearly that when she wanted to go to the street to buy rouge, she was driven home by the people patrolling the street!

"Then...have you ever doubted the candidate to assassinate the city lord?"

Fang Fang looked at Zhou Zhiqing and asked!

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

Zhou Zhiqing recalled.

"And later, when I was living alone at the bottom of the sea, I also thought about this issue carefully, and the conclusion... was the same! Apart from that family, I can't think of anyone else who might have killed the city lord!"

"What is that family's last name? What kind of family is it? What is their family business? Can you still remember it?"

Equation asked again.

"Yes! Although I have lived under the sea for so long, I found that I still remember the memories before I was fifteen very clearly. Maybe... that was the happiest moment in my long life.

The days, so I will remember even some small details very clearly! I remember that that family was in the wine shop business. Their wine shops not only had shops in Yangcheng, but also in other cities and even territories.

Business is doing great!”
