Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal
Chapter 44 Zhoujiayu
In the hotel room, the man knelt in front of Yaohui and told him about his suffering. At this time, the entire hotel inside and outside was surrounded by people.
"My humble self is Zhou Dashan. I live in Zhoujiayu, five miles outside the city. Ever since our village brothers Zhou Cheng and Zhou Shun settled in the city three years ago, none of us have had a single day of peace!"
"They come to the village from time to time and ask us to pay a security tax. We are not rich, so how can we afford it? But we cannot afford to offend their power, so we have no choice but to swallow our anger."
Zhou Dashan was kneeling on the ground with a chair behind him, but he knelt resolutely and insisted on his attitude no matter how Yaohui persuaded him.
After hearing his suffering, Yaohui asked seriously, "You said you can't afford to offend them, but can't Clorinde control them?"
"It's useless. Although Zhou Shun is from the police station, Zhou Cheng is his brother. No matter how many times he is arrested, Captain Zhou will eventually release Zhou Cheng out of brotherhood. In the end, we are the ones who suffer!" Zhou Dashan said in distress, his tone mixed with tears.
At this time, Zi Xuan, who was sitting beside him, asked, "After all you've said, who are these Zhou Cheng and Zhou Shun?"
"The two brothers are members of our village. Six years ago, we all sponsored Zhou Shun, and he became a guard here with his own strength. Everyone has always regarded him as the pride of our village. Of course, after becoming a guard, he cannot be said to be famous, but he does have a good reputation in everyone's hearts. But since his brother Zhou Cheng moved to the city three years ago, everything has changed." Zhou Dashan said, shaking his head.
"Zhou Cheng, who used to be so friendly and amiable, has become a completely different person since he inherited the official position. He's been allowing his servants to rob and plunder people all day long. Everyone in the village is suffering because of this. We wanted to just put up with it, but who could have imagined that this guy heard a rumor from somewhere that there's a huge sum of money hidden under the ancestral hall where our village worships our ancestors, and he's determined to tear it down!"
"Ancestral hall? As far as I know, isn't that the place where the spirits of ancestors are enshrined?" Zhao Heng asked in amazement.
Zhou Dashan said: "That's right. What is enshrined here is not only the ancestors of our family, but also the spirit tablets of five generations of their family. But even so, he still has to do this!"
"This is simply a betrayal of teachers and ancestors!" At this time, Yaohui suddenly stood up.
"Who said it wasn't true? Not long ago, he called a group of thugs over and they were determined to demolish our ancestral hall no matter what. We really had no other choice, so we thought of asking you to help us!" Zhou Dashan looked at Yaohui and kowtowed again.
"Then where did you get my portrait?" Yaohui asked with his arms folded.
Zhou Dashan replied, "That's right. We heard that the elders in our village had received your kindness in the past. After making inquiries from various sources, we copied your portrait based on our intuition."
"Copying..." Yaohui was silent. He had to admit that the copy was really very similar.
At this time, he sighed and said angrily: "Okay, are you done? If you are done, get up quickly. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
"Hey, really?" Hearing this, Zhou Dashan's face instantly lit up with joy. He didn't stand up immediately, but kowtowed to Yaohui three times again. This time, Yaohui was even more helpless.
Zhao Heng walked up to Yao Hui and asked, "Excuse me, how can I do this? Is there anything we can do for you?"
"Mr. Zhao Heng, you're too serious. This happened in the Black Domain. As the guardian here, I have no choice but to help Zhoujiayu resolve the ancestral hall issue first. After that, we can collect relevant evidence and arrest Zhou Cheng." At this point, Yaohui sighed angrily. "Alas, this should have been done by the Security Bureau. I personally don't want to get involved in power struggles. I have no choice..."
Yaohui walked to the door and opened it, immediately catching sight of the crowd inside the hotel. They were staring at him as if he were a god, which made him feel quite awkward. The spotlight on his status was a minor issue; the problem was that he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
Gudong!
He closed the door and stood there with his arms folded, as if nothing had happened.
"Even so, let's find a way to leave here first."
"I agree." Zhao Heng nodded.
"Then what should we do?" Zi Xuan asked.
"Take the window."
"Ah?" Zi Xuan was stunned.
Yaohui walked to the window and opened it. The next second, he grabbed Zhao Dashan by the collar, stood on the windowsill and jumped onto the house opposite.
"So there is such a solution?" Zhao Heng looked at the top in the distance and nodded in enlightenment.
Zixuan covered her forehead with her hands, looking helpless. She shook her head, then picked up her staff and stood on the windowsill.
"Okay, let's express our feelings later," she said, patting the seat behind her as she sat on her staff.
In this way, one was pulled by the collar and the other sat on a staff, and under Zhou Dashan's narration, the two of them and Yaohui came to Zhoujiayu outside the city.
When they arrived at the village entrance, Zhou Dashan was the first to enter the village. At this moment, all the villagers, young and old, came to greet him.
"Dashan, why are you back? Didn't you just come to the city yesterday?" asked an old man with a cane.
"Uncle, listen to me, I have found the evil master, and there is hope for our ancestral hall!" Zhou Dashan said excitedly.
When the old man heard this, his eyes widened and he asked, "Really? Did you find the old man?"
"Yes!" Zhou Dashan nodded, then looked at Yaohui, Zhao Heng, and Zixuan behind him, "This is Master Yaohui, and I beat the two next to him together. I think they must be divine messengers."
"Ah? God's messenger?" Zi Xuan was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Zhou Dashan brought the old man to Yaohui and said, "Sir, this is the elder in our village who I told you about, the one who had received your kindness. He is also our current village chief, Zhou Haoming!"
"Is it him?" Yaohui looked at the uncle in front of him and was silent for a moment.
At first glance, I had some impression, but not much; at second glance, it felt familiar, but who was it? I forgot; at third glance, forget it, I couldn't remember at all.
Yaohui himself might not remember it, but the old man in front of him widened his eyes in amazement.
"That's right, that's right! Lord Evil, it's true that after more than 50 years, you haven't changed at all!"
"Ah, do you really know each other?" Zi Xuan asked at this time.
Yaohui shook his head and said, "No, I have no impression at all."
At this moment, the old man smiled and said, "Haha, it's okay, sir. After all, so many years have passed. Besides, you are very busy, so this kind of thing must be commonplace."
"So what's going on?" Zixuan looked at the old man and asked.
Zhou Dashan, who was standing by, replied, "I heard from the old man that he was robbed when he returned to the village, and it was the Evil Lord who saved him."
"That's right. I broke my leg because of this incident, and you carried me down the mountain. Maybe you don't remember it, but I will never forget your kindness!"
