I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 30 Return to the Li Family
Li Jue was also a man of many faces, so he soon figured out how to answer.

"Well, how did Mr. Zhang know?" Li Jue pretended to be surprised and continued to repeat his words: "Could this person come from Yanmen?"

Both Zhang Yi and Linghu Chu were shocked, thinking that Li Jue knew so much.

"That's right. This man's surname is Li, and his name is Li Shimin. He came from Mayi, Yanmen. He is now the county magistrate of Mayi, and he is now in Jinyang." Zhang Yi didn't hide it from him either.

When Li Jue heard it, as expected, the old Patriarch asked me to find this person, and it took no effort at all.

Immediately he told the story he made up in advance: "My elder brother Li Zan told me when he died that year that my father, Li Ying, was framed and imprisoned by political enemies in the court and China because of the disaster of the party. My elder brother wanted to prevent his youngest son from being killed. , He took the child born to Heping's wife to his confidant and a woman to take him to Bingzhou to hide."

"In the end, I didn't expect to hear from him again. After many years of investigation, he only heard that he was rescued by an expert and disappeared in Yanmen County. As for where he went, I don't know. He asked me repeatedly at the end of his life. He found it and took him back to Li's house."

Hearing what Li Jue said, Zhang Yi felt that everything was right. This Li Shimin was probably Li Zan's youngest son and Li Jue's nephew.

Li Jue was very excited. Of course, he wanted to fulfill the old Patriarch's entrustment so quickly, and he himself had an explanation.In this era, the order of the head of the family is even more important than the imperial decree of the emperor.It's just that we still need to meet again and finally confirm.

Li Jue said excitedly: "Lord Inspector, where is this person now? Can you see him? Let me confirm again. If he is indeed a member of my Li family, he must have a token with him."

Zhang Yi and Linghu Chu have now confirmed seven or eight out of ten that their goal has been basically achieved, so they are ready to go back home.

Zhang Yi glanced at Linghu Chu, and Linghu Chu immediately understood what he meant, so he took the initiative to say, "Li Gong, this person is in Jinyang City, I will arrange someone to take you there immediately."

"Lord Inspector, since Mr. Li's family has something to do, why don't we visit him another day? Let Mr. Li meet his nephew first, I'm afraid he misses him very much too," Linghu Chu said to Zhang Yi.

"Well, I won't disturb the reunion of Li Gong and his nephew. I will come to visit another day. If Li Gong confirms that Li Shimin is from the Li family, it will be a happy event. Remember to inform us when the time comes. It's something on my mind, haha" he said and prepared to take Linghu Chu away.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Inspector. If this person is really my nephew, I must be very grateful to you." He stood up and saluted.

…………

After Li Shimin left the Governor's Mansion, he walked towards the West Market. He didn't have many friends in Jinyang, so he wanted to take a stroll in the West Market.

There was a lot of traffic along the way, shoulder to shoulder bustling, all kinds of hawking sounds were heard, and it was very lively, which made him seem to have returned to the noisy Tang Dynasty.

When I walked to the gate of the west city, I found many people gathered around the city wall looking at some notice.Li Shimin was a little curious, and walked over to see what happened.

It turned out that there was a wanted warrant posted on the city wall, which said that a man named Guan Changsheng killed Puzhou prefect Xiong Hu and his son Xiong Xiang, burned the government office, killed officials and rebelled.The wanted portrait is very vague, but the long beard is very eye-catching. It is said that this person has been living near Jinyang, Bingzhou.

Li Shimin only regarded it as an ordinary sea arrest document, and didn't pay much attention to it.After turning around for a while, there was nothing particularly interesting, so I was ready to go back.

When he was about to reach the inn, he saw a man who looked like a sergeant walking around anxiously, as if he was waiting for someone, and there were many luxurious carriages parked at the door.Li Shimin also remembered that he had seen this person in the Governor's Mansion. He was Captain Zhang Yuan from the Governor's Mansion. He murmured to himself, "What is he doing here? Where did these carriages come from?"

Seeing Li Shimin approaching, the captain hurried over and said with a smile on his face, "Master Li, someone wants to see you."

Li Shimin was very puzzled. He didn't have any relatives or friends in Jinyang. Who would come to me on his own initiative? He asked very puzzled: "Lieutenant Zhang, do you know who wants to see me? I don't know anyone here."

"You'll know it when you see it. Anyway, it's a great thing." Captain Zhang said with a flattering smile.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Li Shimin was about to go in to see who the visitor was.

When he walked to the door, his bodyguard Li Fang came over and said in a low voice, "My lord, there is a man named Li Jue who wants to see you. He is waiting for you in the main hall. I heard that this man is the head of the Li family in Bingzhou."

"Bingzhou Li Family" Li Shimin seemed to understand a little bit, and walked straight towards the main hall.

There is a tall and thin middle-aged elderly man in the room, sitting quietly on a chair, closing his eyes and resting his mind, with a modest demeanor, he seems to have reached the age of knowing his fate.

Li Jue seemed to sense Li Shimin's arrival, and opened his eyes, revealing a ray of light.

"Mr., I heard that you are looking for me?" Li Shimin said politely, cupping his hands.

Seeing that the person who came should be Li Shimin, Li Jue looked him up and down, and found that this person was handsome and heroic, and he faintly felt a domineering, extraordinary aura.

Li Jue was very surprised in his heart, "This person is by no means simple, and his future is boundless."

Li Jue didn't strike up a conversation, but asked self-consciously, "Are you the magistrate of Mayi County, Li Shimin?"

"I am the magistrate of Mayi County, Li Shimin, who was summoned by Inspector Zhang Yi and has just arrived in your place." Li Shimin asked curiously, "I don't know why the old man is looking for me. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"This old man is Li Jue, the Patriarch of the Li Family in Bingzhou. He has the same clan and surname as you. I took the liberty to come here this time because I was entrusted by the old Patriarch to find a young master named Li from Mayi." Li Jue said frankly.

"Patriarch Li? Why did he want to find me?" Li Shimin became more and more confused the more he listened.

"Before I speak formally, please take out the jade pendant that I carry with you and let me have a look. But please rest assured, the old man has no malicious intentions. Only the Patriarch asked me to verify it before I can reveal the truth." Li Jue was polite. said.

"Jade pendant? How did he know that I have a jade pendant with me?" Li Shimin was inexplicably astonished.This jade pendant was obtained by him from the sacred tree, and he has been keeping it close to him, and has never shown it to anyone. How could he know, this is too unbelievable?

I have never figured out the origin of this jade pendant, but I just feel that this jade pendant is extraordinary, so I carry it with me and often take it out to play with. "It seems that the old man knows something, no matter what, it's just a jade pendant, so take it out and let him have a look. Li Shimin took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Li Jue.

Li Jue took the jade pendant carefully, examined it carefully, and found that the material of the object was jade but not jade, like stone but not stone, exactly as the old Patriarch said.

At the moment, I don't doubt that this person must be the person my hometown is looking for, so I am going to have an open and honest talk with him.

"Mr. Li, you and I are of the same origin. We should all be descendants of the Li family in Zhao County. Our old master Li asked me to find you, and asked me to fully support you regardless of the reason." Li Jue said truthfully.

Seeing that Li Shimin was confused, Li Jue continued to explain: "The old Patriarch just asked me to do this well, but he didn't explain the reason. I'm afraid that the reason for it can only be known after meeting him."

Li Shimin was really surprised, he didn't understand the purpose of Li Jue and the old Patriarch Li, how did they know about him and that he had a jade pendant, what was their intention?
It's really unbelievable, but it's just the reason, I'm afraid only after meeting the old Patriarch Li can we know.

But thinking about it carefully, the Li family shouldn't have any malice towards him. Since he has no foundation, the giant Li family shouldn't have any malice towards him.

Besides, I am of the blood of the Li family, and Li Mu is also my ancestor. Blood is thicker than water, so I have a natural feeling of closeness with them.If I can establish a relationship with them, it will be of great benefit to my hegemony and will not cause any harm.

From what Li Jue said, the old Patriarch Li obviously instructed him to help him regardless of the reason.

"Mr. Li, all the Li surnames in this world come from the same origin. Although I was adopted by my mentor since I was a child, the blood of the Li family still flows in my blood. If I can return to the Li family, I will be like a river flowing into the sea, and a migratory bird returning to the forest. " Li Shimin said very earnestly.

"Haha, what Shimin said is right, the Li surname is one family." Seeing that Li Shimin seems to have a good impression of the Li family, and also has the idea of ​​returning to the Li family, he simply said to him: "Shimin, it seems that we have a lot of fate, In order to deceive others, you lied that you were the posthumous son of my deceased brother, so why don't we call you uncle and nephew, what do you think?"

When Li Shimin heard what Li Jue said, he was naturally overjoyed. He was the empress of Lord Wu An and had the same origin as Li Jue. This feeling of intimacy is innate and cannot be faked.

In addition, this old man Li Jue Li is friendly, not pedantic at all, and is obviously an open-minded and kind-hearted person, and he will not suffer at all from recognizing him as his uncle.

Li Shimin hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Shimin, I greet my uncle."

"Haha, please hurry up, please hurry up." Li Jue was obviously also very happy, "This Li Shimin is extremely generous, he is a modest gentleman, and he will surely achieve a lot in the future, and he is also of the blood of the surname Li. Naturally, it is a good thing to accept him as a nephew. pieces."

This rich Li Jue Li has only one daughter and two young grandchildren in his family.Back then, one of his two sons died while fleeing, and the other died of illness when he was only in his twenties, leaving only two posthumous sons, the two grandsons.

With Li Shimin as a nephew, his grandson and daughter also have entrustment, and he was inadvertently happy.
