Li Lijun was a little surprised.

Old King Zou is not an ordinary clan member. He is now the most senior elder in the clan. He is seventy-five years old this year. He is truly an old man.

The old King Zou said that his blood relationship was after Taizong, and his relationship with the Sui Palace was quite distant. But he had some relationship with the Chen family. To be precise, he had a deep friendship with Chen Weng, Chen's father. At that time, Chen Weng

Although she was the daughter of the Chen family in Wuxing, she came from a side branch, and her father was ridiculed as a businessman. However, she was still able to marry into the Sui Prince's palace and become the heir princess. It was Old King Zou who was the elder of the clan who personally acted as matchmaker.

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

At that time, Empress Wu was in power, and the kings of the clan were dissatisfied and rebelled. After the rebellion was over, many clan members were executed, and the younger members of each family were exiled to remote places. Many people could not bear the suffering.

He died on the way. Old King Zou's father and brother were among those who were executed. He himself escaped death because of his young age, but he could not avoid the fate of being exiled to Lingnan.

Although Chen's great-grandfather was an official in the royal palace, he sensed something was wrong early on and found an excuse to resign. Although he was implicated and reprimanded afterwards, he saved his life. However, he had been favored by the old King Zou and heard that he was exiled to Lingnan.

So I decided to follow him and take care of him.

His decision was opposed by his family and his wife, but he still insisted on his idea and divorced his wife. His wife was so angry that she left her young son to him and returned to her parents' home with the dowry. Chen once

My grandfather didn't care, so he sold his family property, took his son and two old servants, drove a carriage, and headed south.

As expected, he caught up with the old King Zou and took care of his food and medicine along the way, so that the old King Zou could survive several illnesses safely. After arriving at the exile, several other clan members there also received help from the great-grandfather of the Chen family.

, barely saved his life, and had enough food and clothing to live.

Old Zou Wang and others stayed in Lingnan for seventeen years. The great-grandfather of the Chen family never left, and he died of illness there in the fifteenth year. Before his death, he asked his son Chen Weng to marry a daughter of a local wealthy family. After his death,

After his death, Chen Weng relied on his in-laws and started a business with his wife's dowry as capital, and continued to earn money to support the old King Zou and other clan members in a stable life.

Thanks to the Chen family's father and son, when Emperor Zhongzong issued a decree to pardon and recall the clan members who had been killed in the past, there were seven or eight people who returned to the capital safely from Lingnan. Although few of them lived as long as the old King Zou.

people, but at least they did not die in a foreign land.

Naturally, Chen Weng followed the clan back to Chang'an City and received a reward from Zhongzong. However, the situation in the court became turbulent again. Seeing that things were not going well, Chen Weng said goodbye to the old King Zou and others on the pretext that his wife was not acclimatized.

He took his wife and children back to his hometown in Wuxing.

The tribesmen originally wanted to use his connections to seek official positions in the capital, but they were dissatisfied when they saw this. But he didn't care and just lived his own life around his wife and children. If a tribesman wanted to go to the capital to seek an official position, he was willing to write

However, for the sake of their own fame and fortune, the clan members involved the old Zou King and several other clan members who had suffered for many years into the political turmoil. The clansmen had many complaints against him, but the old Zou King and others were very moved by his actions.

friendship.

Therefore, later, Chen Weng came to Beijing for his murdered business partner, settled down in the capital, opened a shop and a workshop, and several clan members gave great help. Except for the old King Zou, several others died one after another, but their descendants recorded

Following the instructions of his ancestors, he was also quite polite to Chen Weng.

Chen Weng's wife died young and he was not in good health. His sons died one after another, leaving him with only one daughter, but he had a huge family fortune. He was worried that after his death, his tribe would rob his property and treat his daughter harshly, so he determined to provide for his daughter.

Talk about a reliable marriage. The old King Zou simply arranged a clan marriage for him. Although she is a stepmother, she is also the wife of the first wife. Even if Chen is not favored by Li Dai, as long as she has the title, she will be her whole life.

If they can stay safe and sound, the Chen family will not dare to offend.

As for the Chen family being murdered and killed by the young Yang family, that was completely beyond the expectations of the old King Zou. When Chen Weng passed away, he was quite relieved about his daughter's future and never imagined that something would happen later.

After Chen's death, Li Lijun was greatly shocked. Within two days of being sad, she was pushed off the rockery by Li Yanjun and began her journey through time. After returning, she kept thinking about how to find out the truth and take revenge on Xiao Yang and others.

There was no time to think about anything else. Li Lijun was still surprised that old King Zou would come in person to express his condolences to Mrs. Chen today.

The old man lives so long, but I heard that his health has not been very good. He has been ill for more than half a year and it is difficult to even walk. Since he has difficulty moving, 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 kneeling in front of the mourning body, but looking out curiously.

After a while, King Sui and his successor, Li Dai, walked to the left and right, supporting a rickety old man with white hair in person. Without any introduction, Li Lijun guessed that the other person must be the old King Zou.

In terms of seniority, the Sui King had to call King Zou his uncle, and Li Dai had to call him his uncle. As Li Dai's daughter, Li Lijun had to call King Zou his great uncle.

Li Lijun kowtowed to the old King Zou solemnly and saluted. Before she finished, the old King Zou quickly asked someone to help her up: "It's unfortunate that the child is still injured. I don't need to be more polite."

King Sui ordered someone to bring a stool over, and helped old King Zou sit down. The old man began to sigh at Chen's memorial tablet, with red eyes: "You are sensitive, why are you so miserable? If I had known this,

The old man won’t be a matchmaker for you that day!”

Allergy is Chen's maiden name. When Old Zou Wang said this, Li Lijun couldn't help but feel a sore nose, and Li Dai began to feel uncomfortable all over.

When Old Zou Wang said this, was he blaming him for treating Chen badly and causing Chen's death? But what did this matter have to do with him? It was clearly Chen who took the people to the wild to play and had bad luck.

Falling in love with a bad person... Even if this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Yang, it is still Xiao Yang's fault. What does it have to do with him?

However, no one cared about Li Dai's thoughts. Everyone only paid attention to the mood of the old King Zou and comforted him: "Old uncle, don't be too sad. Now that the matter has come to an end, I will look after the remains of Chen's family in the future, and I think she can feel at ease."

Gone."

After hearing this, Old King Zou sighed again, then looked at Li Lijun and waved her over.

Li Lijun complied.

Old King Zou took her hand and whispered: "Good boy, don't worry. Old Uncle King will remember your mother's revenge! The thief who killed her has been arrested now. Old Uncle King will definitely give them a bad death."

!”

Li Lijun was surprised: "Great uncle, you mean... the criminal who killed my mother that day has been caught?!"

This is big news! Why haven't you heard anyone else mention it? Aunt Cui has sent people to keep an eye on Jingzhao Yamen. Once there is new news, there is no reason why she wouldn't know about it?

Not only Li Lijun was surprised, but also King Sui and his successor Li Dai were surprised.

King Sui asked the old King Zou with great concern: "Did the news from my uncle come from Jing Zhaoyin? My nephew sent people to keep an eye on it, but he never heard about it. Could it be that he was just caught today?"

But the old King Zou shook his head and said: "How can we just send people to the Yamen to keep an eye on us? We are the masters of suffering, so we have to send our own family members to investigate! How can outsiders be as caring as our own family members?"

King Sui was a little embarrassed. His successor Li Dai's face turned dark, but he could not say anything.

Old King Zou continued to say to Li Lijun: "Here is the strange thing. The people sent by the old man caught a few criminals and sent them to Jingzhao Yamen, but they said they arrested them by mistake! But the old man clearly asked the people who witnessed it that day, and they were the ones who

How could I catch him wrongly?"

Li Lijun understood the reason instantly.
