Vol 2 Chapter 214: Face-to-face

On the road leading from the county town to Zhoujia Village, five military vehicles drove quickly to Zhou's house. In the first car that led them were Mr. and Mrs. Cheng, Zhou Xiaozheng and Mrs. Zhou. Zhang Guoqing drove the car carefully.
Zhou Xiaozheng pondered for a while and told him, "Xiaowu, we will be at the door of Zhou's house later, you go find the grandson of the old patriarch and the current patriarch to Zhou's house. Let them all bring the genealogy."
"Understood." Zhang Guoqing replied immediately. He also planned to call in the captain and clan elder who had just taken office in the village now.
Five cars roared into the village entrance. At this time, some villagers noticed that they watched as they were driving towards the old Zhou's house, and immediately patted the door of the neighboring house.
"Maybe Zhou Xiaozheng is going home? What can happen?"
The other party said anxiously: "No, I saw all soldiers, and all people inside. Let's go and see, something really happened."
Zhang Guoqing watched them all get off the car, and hurriedly turned around to find the grandson of the patriarch and the old patriarch. Driving into the village all the way, he has seen many people walking towards Zhou's house in secret.
Without waiting for Mrs. Zhou to come forward, Cheng Lao assisted his wife and knocked on the courtyard door, leading a group of people directly into the hall. As soon as I entered, I saw a few men sitting in the main hall, and Zhou Jiaren should be the oldest on the Kang.
When the old man Zhou Jiaren saw these soldiers coming in, he was shocked. The pipes in his hands fell to the ground, and he pointed his fingers at the old couple.
Old Cheng sneered and said: "What? Seeing that we should understand that it was for you? Do you think we can't find the child if we hide it?"
Elder Zhou trembling all over, he said in a daze: "You, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Seeing a few people around Old Man Zhou yelling, Old Cheng told Xiao Chen, "You hold down all the people around this old man."
After finishing speaking, he directly supported his wife to sit on a chair and said with a cold face: "Still pretending? Do you think I will come home without evidence? I don't think you can cry anymore if you see the coffin."
Old man Zhou watched the eldest son and two grandsons all being pressed on the ground, raising his head and begging him bitterly, he hurriedly turned aside his face and sat motionless on the kang with his head down.
Old Cheng knew that he didn't give up and ignored him. After everyone was seated, he said, "Gu Mingzhu said at the beginning that you were asked to find Liu Xizhi with a token. Why did you not fulfill your promise? That box of gold and silver dollars was still stuffed. Not full of you? You can use the tokens of Zhou and Gu's family at ease, so you are not afraid that Zhou Jinyu and Gu Mingzhu's heroic souls will find you?"
Seeing that he still didn’t respond, Cheng Lao took a picture of his anxious wife, and then said:
Gu Mingzhu left a small box for the child at the beginning, and kept the photos taken abroad, and even explained the characteristics on paper. Do you want Should I call the police for search or take the initiative to confess? The old patriarch has passed away, but do you really think that there is no proof? What kind of person Gu Mingzhu is, you will never know.
I spent a few days searching for your comrades-in-arms, and searching for your wife's colleagues. Return to the Army/Ministry Archives, Household/Registration Section, Veterans/Army/Military/Person Office. After finding all the documents, do you think I will have no evidence or physical evidence and will fly on a military plane overnight? "
Old Cheng watched him still silently, sneered a few times, and didn't say anything, just waiting for him to express his attitude.
Everyone in the living room was quietly waiting for Mr. Zhou to speak, but it was a shame to see him like that.
Zhou Xiao looked at Old Man Zhou expressionlessly, no one knew what he was thinking. Lin Lishan uneasyly took his hand to see if he was still indifferent.
"Dad, the patriarch and the grandson of the old patriarch are here, I also invited the captain, and two patriarchs." Zhang Guoqing found the strange thing when he walked into the room and said softly to him.
Xiao Chen also came in at this time and whispered a few words in Cheng Lao's ear, Cheng Lao nodded.
When the patriarchs came in, Mr. Cheng asked them to move chairs and let them sit down, and said, "I invite you to come over today to be a witness. You should all remember Zhou Jiaheng, the youngest son of the main house in Beijing, Zhou Jinyu, and his wife is the main house of Jiangnan Gu's house. The direct line is Gu Mingzhu, these two people should be recorded in your genealogy.
At that time, Zhou Jinyu left. Gu Mingzhu took the newborn child and found the old patriarch, and entrusted Zhou Jinyu's cousin Zhou Jiaren to take care of the child temporarily, and gave a lot of gold and silver dollars. These were handled by my wife Liu Xizhi. In addition, Gu Mingzhu left a small wooden box with the seal of mutton jade and Zhou Jinyu passed down by the Gu family, and the amulet on the child’s neck as a token. If she did not come to find the child, the old patriarch and Zhou Jiaren would bring the token to send it. The child was raised by aunt Liu Xizhi.
My wife is Liu Xizhi, the adopted daughter of the Gu family. We have waited for more than 40 years, but we haven't seen anyone come to our door.
Now we come to the door, as the son-in-law of the Gu family, I must ask your Zhou family to give an attitude. Zhou Xiao is the son of Zhou Jinyu, and the only bone and blood of the Gu family and the Zhou family's direct line must be recognized.
I don't want to say how many sins they have suffered in this line. I just want to know whether Zhou Jiaren admits the facts or not, if he plays stupid again, I will call the police immediately. We have the vouchers and photos left by Gu Mingzhu, as well as personal and physical evidence that can prove that Zhou Xiaozheng is not Zhou Jiaren's biological son. "
The patriarch listened to the old man Zhou who bowed his head and said nothing, sighed, turned his head to discuss with the two elders beside him in a low voice. After a while, the patriarch opened the genealogy and took over the old genealogy. The two were compared with each other, and he looked at the old man Zhou, "Jiaren, what do you say? Give your opinion."
Cheng Lao accepted the box that Sijin had handed over, opened it, took out a stack of notes and photos, picked two of them and handed them to the patriarch.
"This is the photo of the jade pendant and the small seal in the token, as well as the features described by Gu Mingzhu. If he doesn't export yet, I will ask the police to search the Zhou family."
An elder of the Zhou family yelled angrily, "If you don't speak, I will let people give your family to the family. Do you still want to get through? Your family's shame is not enough?"
Elder Zhou looked up at everyone, opened his mouth to say something and then closed it, lowered his head without chewing.
The patriarch frowned and said, "You have nothing to say, just hand over your things. The evidence is there. If you don't say anything, we are going. Then you go to the cell to eat or where, we really don't care."
Hearing this, Old Man Zhou lowered his head and gently touched his chest, and slowly took out a bloodstone seal from his chest, looked at it, closed his eyes and handed it to the patriarch, then got up and went to the back room.
Old Cheng gave Xiao Chen a look, and Xiao Chen followed him in. After a while, Mr. Zhou came out with the small box.
Mrs. Cheng cried forward and grabbed the box, and gently FM with her hand, "It's this box. My sister took out this box with her at the time." She said she held her arms tightly and howled.
Zhou Xiaozheng and Cheng Sijin hurriedly stepped forward to hug her, and quickly fed medicine and water.
The old lady Cheng turned back to her senses and hurriedly stuffed the box into Zhou Xiaozheng's arms, "Look at it, your mother gave it to you. You open it and you must put it away."
Old Cheng took Zhou Jinyu's seal and handed it to his wife, "Let's see if it's your brother-in-law? And sister's jade pendant, you show it."
Old Mrs. Cheng picked up the seal, looked at it, and nodded in tears, "It's my brother-in-law. There is a black spot here, and my brother-in-law said he wanted to engrave the dragon on it to give it a finishing touch."
Zhou Xiaozheng opened the box and saw that there was a round top-quality mutton jade inside, and he curled the corners of his lips ironically. It was really moving fortune.
Seeing that the token was received, Cheng Lao smiled at the grandson of the old patriarch and asked: "Don't be nervous, has your grandfather mentioned something about Xiaozheng? We want to hear it."
The other party smiled honestly and said: "I've lived a lot of age. After too long a time, I remember that his old man left by accident and left nothing. He would not tell us anything. He often said ignorance. It is a blessing."
The patriarch looked at Zhou Jiaren and asked him, "What about the gold? What words did Gu Mingzhu leave before he left."
Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Mr. Zhou broke the jar and said in a muffled voice: "Those Gu Mingzhu told us that it was child support. He also left some donations to the clan.
At that time, my wife happened to have a miscarriage. Gu Mingzhu and the old patriarch came to the door and entrusted us to take care of the children temporarily for one or two years. Gu Mingzhu asked the old patriarch to add Zhou Xiaozheng to Zhou Jinyu's family tree, saying that Zhou Jinyu had instructed her. After the old patriarch added a name to the old family tree, she heard Gu Mingzhu say that many people are staring at Gu's family property and that the child is now very dangerous, and she has to deal with it before receiving the child. He copied this new family tree again, intending to wait for the world to settle down, and add it to the new family tree. The old family tree remains as evidence.
She did say that she brought her token to Liu Xizhi before the child was three years old. But how did you find with the kids? When the child is older, the patriarch is gone. I can't bear to bear the child. He is the child of our Zhou family, so I don't worry about leaving it to outsiders. "
Mrs. Cheng hurriedly asked: "Then did my sister say anything?"
"No, I said that the child's father is gone. She is also very dangerous now. In case she can't come back, she can't find Liu Xizhi. When the child is sensible and tell him his life experience, he also said that Zhou Jinyu had told him before his death. Children should not forget to learn martial arts, leaving gold just in case, to find a master for the children in the future."
Old Cheng immediately asked him, "Where did you say to find Liu Xizhi?"
"Leave us two addresses, one north and one south. Gd and the outskirts of Beijing. It's too far, so we didn't send the children there."
Mr. Cheng ignored his explanation, looked at his wife, saw her nodding, and said: "The matter is also clear. The gold is fine. When do you think the patriarch can let the child go to the ancestral hall?"
The patriarch and them discussed it ~EbookFREE.me~ and said: "Let's bring the genealogy to the ancestral hall tomorrow morning. As for worshipping yourself, please go."
Mr. Cheng nodded, knowing that Zhou Jinyu's tomb was in the suburbs of Beijing, and the people who worshipped here were also the ancestors. "Then we will make an appointment. See you directly at the ancestral hall tomorrow morning."
He looked at Zhou Xiaozheng again, "Child, do you see anything else to say?"
Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head, stood up and walked to the old lady Zhou, knelt down three heads, "I won't be back here in the future. If you miss me, write me a letter and I will take you for the elderly."
After he got up, he watched the old lady cover her mouth with her hand and cry in a low voice, cruelly, turned around and walked to the old lady Cheng to support her and leave.
Old Cheng watched Zhou Xiaozheng and his wife have gone out, "Let's all go. I will trouble you all tonight."
Watching them leave, Mr. Zhou sat in the hall and remained silent. After a while, ignoring the scolding eyes of his son and grandson, he straightened up and went into the bedroom.
Tonight is a nightmare for Zhou's parents' room. Zhou Xiaocun looked at the old mother, but did not come forward to comfort him, and took his sons back to the house.
The eldest son Zhou Lidong prevented his family from asking questions, and asked himself: "Dad, you already knew that the uncle was not a relative, did you? Even the aunt knows it?"
Zhou Xiaocun glanced at the people in his eyes, looked at their frustrated expressions, and said angrily: "What if I knew it? It was all raised by our family. The fault lies in your father's collection of so much gold. I knew it earlier. Zhou Xiaozheng's life experience is so uncomfortable, how can things get out of hand? Your father is a fool. Okay, it's all gone, and you will be safe in the future."
"I dare not go out anymore. As soon as the ancestral hall opens tomorrow morning, everything is spread. It's a shame." The youngest son muttered, watching his father's face gradually dared not make a sound.
