Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 54
Li Lijun was a little surprised.

Old King Zou is no ordinary clan.He can be regarded as the oldest elder in the clan today, and he is 75 this year. He is really a rare old man.

Old King Zou's blood relationship is after Emperor Taizong, and his relationship with the Sui Palace is quite far away.But he has something to do with Chen.To be precise, he has a deep friendship with Chen's father, Chen Weng.Back then, although the Chen family was the daughter of the Wu Xing Chen family, she came from a side branch, and her father was ridiculed as a businessman, but she was still able to marry into the Sui palace as the heir princess, because the old Zou Wang, the elder of the clan, personally made a matchmaker.

Chen Weng's father, Li Lijun's great-grandfather, joined the army as a recorder in the father's palace of the old King Zou, and he was an official of the sixth rank.

At that time, when Empress Wu was in power, the clan kings refused to accept and rebelled. Died on the way.Old Zou Wang's father and brother were among those who were killed. Because of his young age, he himself escaped death, but he could not avoid the fate of being exiled to Lingnan.

Although Chen's great-grandfather was an official of the royal family, he sensed something was wrong early on and found an excuse to resign. Although he was implicated and demoted afterwards, he saved his life.However, he had been favored by the old King Zou, and when he heard that the other party was exiled to Lingnan, he decided to take care of him.

His decision was opposed by his family and his wife, but he still insisted on his own ideas, so he did not hesitate to reconcile with his wife.The wife was so angry that she left her young son to him, and returned to her natal family with the dowry.Chen's great-grandfather didn't care, so he sold his family property, took his son and two old servants, and drove south in a carriage.

Sure enough, he caught up with the old King Zou and took care of his diet and medicine all the way, so that the old King Zou survived several illnesses safely.After arriving at the place of exile, several other descendants of the clan who were there also received the help of the great-grandfather of the Chen family, barely survived, and had enough food and clothing.

Old Zou Wang and others stayed in Lingnan for 17 years, and the great-grandfather of the Chen family never left, and died of illness there in No.15.Before he died, he begged his son Chen Weng to marry the daughter of a local rich family.After his death, Chen Weng relied on his Yue's family to start a business with his wife's dowry as capital, and continued to earn money to provide for the stable life of the royal family such as King Zou.

Thanks to the blessings of the Chen family and their sons, when Emperor Zhongzong issued a decree to pardon and recall the descendants of the clan who had fallen in the past, as many as seven or eight people returned to Beijing safely from Lingnan.Although few of them lived as long as the old King Zou, at least they did not die in a foreign land.

Naturally, Chen Weng also returned to Chang'an City with all the clans, and was rewarded by Zhongzong.But then the situation in the court was turbulent again. Seeing that the situation was not good, Weng Chen said goodbye to old Zou Wang and others on the pretext that his wife was not acclimatized, and returned to Wu Xing's hometown with his wife and children.

The tribe originally wanted to use his connections to seek official positions in Beijing, but they were dissatisfied when they saw this.But he didn't care, he just lived his little life around his wife and children.He is also willing to write a letter of recommendation for a clan member who wants to go to Beijing to seek an official, but he is opposed to the fact that the clan members, for the sake of their own fame and fortune, involved the old Zou Wang and several other clans who have suffered for many years into the political turmoil.The clansman complained a lot about him, but old Zou Wang and others were very moved by his friendship.

Therefore, Chen Weng later went to Beijing for the murdered business partner, settled down in the capital, opened a shop and workshop, and several clans gave great help.Except for the old King Zou, the others passed away one after another, but their descendants remembered their ancestors' instructions and were quite polite to Weng Chen.

Chen Weng's wife died young, and his health was not very good. His sons died one after another, leaving only one daughter under his knees, but he had a family of ten thousand.He was worried that after his death, the tribe would rob his family property and treat his daughter harshly, so he was determined to arrange a reliable marriage for his daughter.Old Zou Wang simply told him about a clan marriage.Although she is a stepmother, she is also the main wife.Even if the Chen family is not favored by Li Dai, as long as she has a title, she will be safe and secure for the rest of her life, and the Chen family will not dare to offend her.

As for Mrs. Chen being murdered to death by Mrs. Yang, that was completely beyond Old Zou Wang's expectations.When Chen Weng passed away, he was quite at ease about his daughter's future, and never expected that there would be subsequent changes.

After Chen's death, Li Lijun was hit hard, and within two days of being sad, she was pushed off the rockery by Li Yanjun and started a journey through time.After she came back, she kept thinking about how to find out the truth and take revenge on Xiao Yang and the others, and she didn't have much time to think about anything else.Today, the old Zou Wang will come to mourn the Chen family in person, Li Lijun is still very surprised.

The old man has such a long life, and I heard that his health has not been very good. He has been ill for more than half a year, and it is difficult for him to walk.Since he has limited mobility, why did he come here in person today?
Many people came out of the mourning hall to greet the old King Zou, but Li Lijun did not move, still knelt before the mourning, but looked out curiously.

After a while, King Sui and his heir Li Dai walked in, one on the left and one on the right, personally supporting a rickety old man with white hair.Li Lijun guessed that the other party must be the old Zou Wang without being introduced by others.

In terms of seniority, Sui Wang had to call Zou Wang uncle, and Li Dai had to call him uncle.Li Lijun, as the daughter of Li Dai, will call King Zou grand uncle.

Li Lijun kowtowed to the old King Zou in a serious manner, and before she finished, the old King Zou quickly asked someone to help her up: "My pity, the child is still injured, and my family members don't need to be too polite."

King Sui ordered someone to move the stool over, and helped old King Zou to sit down. The old man began to sigh at Chen's spiritual seat, his eyes were red: "Min Zhi, why are you so miserable? If I had known this, The old man won't be a matchmaker for you that day!"

Minzhi is Chen's boudoir name.Hearing what old Zou Wang said, Li Lijun couldn't help his nose sore, and Li Dai also began to feel uncomfortable all over.

Old Zou Wang said so, is he blaming him for treating Chen Shi badly and causing Chen Shi to die?But what does this have to do with him?It's clear that Mrs. Chen took people to play in the wild by herself, and ran into a bad person by bad luck... Even if Mrs. Yang has something to do with this matter, it's Mrs. Yang's fault. What has it to do with him?
However, no one cared about Li Dai's thoughts, everyone just paid attention to the emotions of old Zou Wang, and comforted him: "Old uncle Wang, don't be too sad. This is the end of the matter. I will take care of Chen's family in the future. I think she can feel at ease. left."

After hearing this, old Zou Wang sighed again, then looked at Li Lijun, and beckoned her to go over.

Li Lijun complied.

Old King Zou took her hand and said in a low voice: "Good boy, don't worry. Old Uncle Wang remembers your mother's revenge! The culprit who killed her has now been arrested. Old Uncle Wang will definitely make them die badly." !"

Li Lijun was surprised: "Grand Uncle, you mean...the villain who killed my mother that day has been caught?!"

This is big news!How come no one else has mentioned it?Madam Cui sent someone to keep an eye on the Jingzhao Yamen. Once there is new news, there is no reason why she would not know about it?

Not only Li Lijun was surprised, but even the Sui king and his heir Li Dai were surprised.

The King of Sui asked the old King Zou with great concern: "Uncle Wang's news came from Jing Zhaoyin? My nephew sent someone to watch, but I never heard about it. Could it be that he was arrested today?"

Old Zou Wang shook his head and said, "How can we just send people to the Yamen to watch? We are the sufferers, so we will send our own family members to investigate! How can outsiders be as caring as our own family members?"

The Sui king was a little embarrassed, and the successor king Li Dai's face turned dark, but he couldn't say anything.

The old Zou Wang continued to say to Li Lijun: "This is the strange thing. The people sent by the old man caught a few villains and sent them to the Jingzhao Yamen, but they said they caught the wrong one! But the old man clearly asked the people who witnessed it that day. How could you catch the wrong one?"

Li Lijun instantly understood the reason.

The person who was arrested was the one sent by Yang Shuo to commit the murder!It's the Lord!
