Chapter 340: Ancestor Worship (4 more)

Admiral's Mansion, study room.

Li Zhen looked serious and looked at Liu Taiping, who was sitting next to him, with a touch of helplessness in his eyes. According to Liu Taiping's plan, the Tiandihui had indeed suffered a fatal blow. Almost all the Tiandihui's hidden strongholds in Guangzhou had been pulled out and captured. The number of Tiandihui members arrested is countless.

However, what makes Li Zhen regretful is that Chen Qiankun, Wang Rui and others still have not been caught, and the leader of the thieves has not been caught. This makes Li Zhen helpless. No matter how hard he searches, he can't find Chen Qiankun and others.

"Sir, if you can't catch Chen Qiankun and others, what can you do?"

Li Zhen had a look of resentment on his face. He wanted to avenge Zhu Wu and others, but he could not catch Chen Qiankun for a long time. His spirit was tense for a long time and his mood was very depressed.

Liu Taiping sighed, thinking that Li Zhen was almost paranoid.

Unless Chen Qiankun is killed, the knot in his heart cannot be untied.

However, Liu Taiping couldn't think of a way. After all, Chen Qiankun hid his head like a turtle and couldn't be found. If Chen Qiankun was hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, it would be impossible to find him. Finding a needle in a haystack was simply impossible.

Liu Taiping thought for a while and said: "Sir, I understand your feelings, but what can I do if I catch Chen Qiankun? It is just killing Chen Qiankun. What can I do if I can't catch Chen Qiankun? Zhu Wu and others are already dead. , people cannot be resurrected and it is difficult to come back to life. Your Excellency should consider how to train soldiers and how to govern Guangzhou. This is the greatest comfort to Zhu Wu and others."

Li Zhen took a deep breath, his eyes darkened, and said: "Of course I understand what the gentleman said, but if I don't kill Chen Qiankun, I feel so worried that I can't let go."

Liu Taiping was speechless, the root of everything was still with Chen Qiankun.

Liu Taiping knew that it was useless to discuss this matter anymore, so he changed the topic and said: "Sir, when Qiling took office as the governor of Guangdong, he first went to see Ye Mingchen, the governor of Guangdong and Guangdong, and then summoned the major gentry and celebrities in Guangdong, and even made friends with them. As a businessman, if you pretend to be aware of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, you may have a big deal."

Li Zhen nodded and said: "Senior age is not easy and must be dealt with carefully. Besides, I broke Wan Fu's legs, senior age..."

"Bang, bang."

Just when Li Zhen was halfway through speaking, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the study, and Ye Chengzhong's voice sounded again: "Sir, the eldest lady is here. She is waiting for you in the hall. She said she has something important to talk to you about."

Seeing this, Liu Taiping stood up and said, "Sir, I take my leave."

Li Zhen said: "Sir, please go slowly. I will discuss the elderly matter with you when I have time."

As he spoke, Li Zhen stood up and sent Liu Taiping away and came to the hall.

When Li Xiaotong saw Li Zhen coming out, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he said with concern: "Brother, how is your health and how are you recovering? Oh, you have no conscience, you don't care when you return to the Admiral's Mansion. Sister, I'm wasting my time hurting you in vain." Li Xiaotong looked at Li Zhen carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Zhen could move freely.

Li Zhenqian laughed twice and said: "Sister, there is too much backlog of official work in the house. I have been busy dealing with the backlog of official work these days. I have been too busy. Please forgive me, sister."

Li Xiaotong smiled and said: "Please pay attention to your health. Okay, I forgive you."

Li Zhen asked: "Sister came to see me. What's the matter?"

Li Xiaotong nodded and said in a deep voice: "Since you have recognized me as your sister, you naturally want to pay homage to your parents. Besides, your body has recovered and you can travel. It is better to choose a different day. You can go with me today." Once, let’s go outside the city to pay homage to our parents, what do you think?”

"good."

Li Zhen nodded, agreed without hesitation, and then told Ye Chengzhong to prepare.

In less than five minutes, Li Zhen and Li Xiaotong left the Admiral's Mansion and left the city under the protection of guards, heading towards the cemetery of Li Zhen's parents. A full hour later, Li Zhen and Li Xiaotong came to a hillside. Zhen's dead parents were buried together. The tomb is backed by mountains and rivers. It is a geomantic treasure that makes people look at it carefully.

Li Xiaotong looked at the cemetery that was already overgrown with weeds, with lonely eyes, and said with a hint of sadness: "I only came here once during the Qingming Festival, and now it is overgrown with weeds. I don't know how my parents are doing there. ."

Li Zhen scratched his head, patted Li Xiaotong's shoulder, and comforted: "Sister, don't worry, my parents have acted up to their conscience throughout their lives. They are good people praised by everyone, and they will definitely be rewarded."

While talking, Li Zhen took the incense from Ye Chengzhong and bowed to offer the incense at the grave.

After a lot of work, it took another half an hour.

During this period, Li Xiaotong squatted on the grave and kept talking nonstop, all about Li Zhen's affairs. The two stood in front of the grave. Li Xiaotong's eyes were red from crying. After Li Xiaotong finished venting, he reached out from his long sleeves. He took out a scroll and handed it to Li Zhen, saying: "Brother, this is the family tree passed down by the ancestors of the Li family. It was handed over to me when my parents died. Now that you are the head of the family, I leave it to you for safekeeping."

Li Zhen nodded in agreement, took it and put it away carefully, then helped Li Xiaotong down the mountain. On the way back to the city, Li Zhen saw that Li Xiaotong was in a low mood, and told many jokes before Li Xiaotong burst into laughter, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.

Seeing Li Xiaotong's smile, Li Zhen's depressed mood became cheerful.

It's great to feel like a family.

The carriage rolled into Guangzhou City and returned to the Admiral's Mansion. Ye Chengzhong sat on the shaft of the carriage, listening to the laughter and laughter coming from the carriage, and was also happy for Li Zhen. Ye Chengzhong hummed a ditty, From time to time, I chatted with the horseman driving the car, which was quite enjoyable and quite leisurely.

Suddenly, Ye Chengzhong's pupils widened and he shouted: "Quick, quick, stop now."

I saw a woman suddenly running in front of me, rushing towards the carriage.

The woman was about eighteen years old, with a delicate face. She was wearing a white dress, and her black hair was permed into a wavy shape. When she ran, it flew up and down, making her extremely jumpy. The woman also held a pair of high heels in each of her left and right hands, and her bare feet looked like She was running as fast as the wind, with an eager look on her face. As she ran, she turned back to look at the situation behind her, and did not pay attention to Li Zhen's carriage.

"Xi Yuyu,."

The horse raised its head and neighed, then stopped in time.

The woman rushed to the front of the carriage with her high heels and found the carriage. However, the woman did not stop and wanted to rush towards the carriage. The soldiers protecting Li Zhen on both sides blocked the woman and said seriously: "Girl, this is Please don't trespass on the Admiral's carriage, otherwise I won't be polite."

"Sir Admiral."

After hearing this, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up, she waved her high heels in her hands and shouted: "Admiral, someone wants to take me to be my wife, help me, help me..."

After Li Zhen heard this, he lifted the carriage door curtain and looked outside the carriage.

Li Xiaotong was also curious. He looked through the curtain of the carriage and saw the woman standing on the ground with bare feet. A smile suddenly appeared on his face and he said with a smile: "Brother, this woman is really unique. She doesn't have her feet bound." Yes, and it’s barefoot, which is really interesting.”

Li Zhen nodded. The woman outside the carriage was probably not an ordinary person.

After all, in this era of strict etiquette, almost only foreigners could wear high heels, comb their hair in wavy hair, and not bind their feet, and it was almost impossible for domestic women.
