Chapter 152 Recognition
Li Daxun knelt on the ground and leaned down. He did not deny what was actually in his heart.

But the murder in this ritual was something he didn't expect!
"Back to my lord, this official is really forced to do nothing!"

Although the Weijiang River is under the jurisdiction of the Bashu Capital Prefecture, it is located close to the two rivers.

The two rivers were now under the rule of the prince. The merchants did not dare to move, so they exerted their pressure on the Weijiang River.

The past few years since Li Daxun took office have been really stressful. Recently, he had a conflict with the Chamber of Commerce due to rising food prices, making the atmosphere even more tense.

The people from the Chamber of Commerce used "sacrifice to the God of Poseidon" to commit murder, which was clearly a way to show off to Li Daxun.

This will allow Li Daxun to bow to them again.

The best candidate is Wu Dazhuang, who is relatively close to Li Daxun.

This Wu Dazhuang was a subordinate of Cao Jinyu, the former governor of Liangjiang. After Cao Jinyu's accident, the two of them came to Weijiang together.

Li Daxun was appointed governor of Weijiang, and Wu Dazhuang never entered officialdom again.

I can barely make ends meet just by doing the things I do at home.

This time, because Li Daxun was implicated, he ended up dead. Li Daxun's illness that day was not fake.

While feeling heartbroken over Wu Dazhuang's death, he was also worried about future plans.

Such anxiety struck his heart, and he fell ill on the bed.

Li Yanzhao interrupted Li Daxun's thoughts in a deep voice.

"From now on in Weijiang, you can tell the truth, and those chambers of commerce will not dare to stop you anymore!"

Li Yanzhao felt sorry for the orphans and widowers in Wu Dazhuang's family, and had ordered Li Chang to send them some money.

Li Daxun was a little hesitant. The relationship network of these chambers of commerce was complex and deeply rooted. Would they let go of these interests so easily?
All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the sky is for benefit.

It might be difficult to get them to stop staring at him and bite him.

Seeing Li Daxun's entangled look, Li Yanzhao was a little unhappy, and he raised his eyebrows and asked him.

"Why, are you questioning this king?"

Li Yanzhao stood up and said, "Li Daxun, your illness should be cured. The old boy named Tang will come to visit you tomorrow. You should be prepared!"

After Li Yanzhao finished speaking, he walked away, leaving Li Daxun alone and uneasy.

Sure enough, as Li Yanzhao said, Mr. Tang led leaders from all walks of life to visit Li Daxun early the next morning.

The person who came here said it was a birthday gift to Li Daxun's mother.

Li Daxun naturally greeted him with a smile, as if the conflict from the day before yesterday no longer existed.

Even when it came to enjoying themselves, Li Daxun and Mr. Tang drank and chatted happily, and became sworn friends. They treated each other like brothers and became another beautiful story in Weijiang City.

When Yu Jia heard about this, she couldn't stay here for a moment.

She asked Li Chang for a carrier pigeon, wrote a letter with a few "swish" strokes, stuffed it into the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, and let it fly.

This murder case has come to an end, which is a perfect ending for Li Daxun.

Ayan is also ready to take action.

Tomorrow is the birthday party for Li Daxun's mother's 80th birthday. After attending the banquet, they will return to the military camp.

In the evening, Li Chang took Ayan to the yard as usual.

Li Chang knocked out Liniang's personal maid with a knife, and Ayan walked to the inner room.

"Lin'er, go and have a rest. You don't have to stay by my side!"

A cold and soft whisper came from the bed, and there seemed to be an unreal contrast through the bed curtain.

Ayan paused for a moment and continued walking forward.

As if sensing someone coming, a jade hand as tender as a white onion stretched out from the bed curtain.

Immediately afterwards, there was a light of extremely glamorous color, which instantly illuminated the house.

But after seeing Ayan, those eyes as clear as autumn water screamed in panic.

Li Chang outside heard the sound, frowned, and subconsciously looked into the yard.

"who are you?"

Liniang asked Ayan in blunt Mandarin, looked her up and down, and suddenly shook her head.

"How is it possible, how is this possible?"

A sneer tugged at the corner of Ayan's lips, thinking that her parents and servants might die because of the person in front of her, and she wanted to cut them into pieces.

"How is it impossible?" Ayan spoke Suzhou dialect, but it was a bit stiff since she hadn't spoken it for a long time.

"I'm Ayan, auntie doesn't recognize me?"

Liniang's bright eyes were filled with mist.

"Ayan, why are you still alive?"

Ayan intuitively thought that this sentence meant that she did not want her to live, but Liniang's tone revealed a hint of relief and surprise.

"Are you really Ayan?"

Liniang walked over barefoot, her body as soft as a bone. Although she was over thirty years old, she looked like she was in her early twenties, which was very pitiful.

"Replace it if it's fake!"

Ayan's tone became colder.

Liniang stood in front of her, stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears holding Ayan.

This voice made Li Chang, who was sitting on the wooden chair, bounce up.

Then he froze in place, not daring to move, and nervously observed the situation around him.

Ayan was also stunned at this moment, her hands clenched into fists, neither hugging nor hugging.

"Ayan, you're still alive, great, you're still alive!"

Liniang kept saying these two sentences over and over again, crying so hard that it made people's hearts tremble.

Ayan raised her hand and put it stiffly on Liniang's back.

"Yeah, I'm still alive!"

Liniang held Ayan and cried for a long time. She was tired from crying and just stopped.

She touched Ayan's face, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Ayan, you and your mother look so much alike!"

Ayan, on the other hand, didn't know what to answer and muttered to herself: "Really?"

Liniang pulled her to sit on the couch.

"How did you get here all these years?"

"How are you doing? Where is Azai? Are you with me?"

At the mention of her younger brother Azai's name, Ayan's eyes darkened for a moment.

Liniang was smart and thought of the reason.

"Ayan, just stay alive. Only those who are alive have hope. If you have hope, you can get revenge!"

"Revenge?" Ayan's eyes were still dim, but this dimness was mixed with some questions.

"Yes, Mr. Li and I have not given up running for the governor these years."

"Wu Dazhuang goes out every three days to contact the governor's other old subordinates. Unfortunately, he was killed this time!"

"Auntie, are you telling the truth? I thought..."

Liniang smiled miserably, "Why? Do you think he got the position of Governor of the Weijiang River just because he was a traitor to others?"

"Ayan, Li Daxun is an honest person and is not good at these official ways."

"He pretended to surrender just because he wanted to sit in a high position and do things easily."

"According to our status, it is difficult to restore the innocence of the governor in this life. He worked hard and did everything possible to climb to this position."

"Those people didn't trust him, so they arranged for him to come to Weijiang to serve as an official. Therefore, his life has been really hard these years."

"Many people, like you, have misunderstood him. We have suffered from these hidden losses in the past few years."

Then she wiped away her tears and said, "I forgot to tell you why I am here."

"I was rescued by Wu Dazhuang and others from Jin Yiwei with all their might. They haven't stopped tracking us all these years."

"I was forced to have no choice but to enter Li Daxun's backyard and assume the identity of an aunt so that I could survive in the world."

"Auntie, you have worked hard!"

Ayan said and knelt down towards Liniang, "Thank you for everything you have done for my family!"

Liniang hurriedly leaned over and helped her up, "What nonsense are you talking about? If it weren't for the governor, we people would have turned into bones long ago. How can we still see the light of the world?"
