Chapter 162 Warm Boiled Rain
When Li Chenan told Shang Di the details of Wen Xiaowan's disappearance, Shang Di frowned and the expression on his face became serious.
On the contrary, Zhongli Ruoshui, who was sitting next to Li Chenan, felt relieved because of relief.
She asked Li Chen'an, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for both Shang Di and Li Chen'an.
"So, Wen Xiaowan is most likely Wen Boiyu's daughter!"
Shang Di picked up the tea cup, the wrinkles between his brows did not relax, and the look in his eyes was a little solemn, and he said: "That year... it should be the tenth year of Zhaohua. I remember it was in the autumn of that year, when Bo Yuxiao
There was a massacre in Zhuzhu!"
"The small Zhuiyu building on the bank of Huaping Lake was built by Wen Zhuiyu. I remember it was built in the sixth year of Zhaohua, yes, the sixth year of Zhaohua, because in the spring of the sixth year of Zhaohua, the peach blossoms on Taohua Island were in full bloom.
most!"
"It's also because your grandfather resigned from office and retired to Guangling City at the end of the spring of that year."
"Do you know your grandfather?"
Li Chenan nodded, then suddenly shook his head.
He nodded because after returning to the Li Mansion in Guangling, he read the Li family's genealogy, which contained some records about his grandfather Li Chunfu.
He knew that his grandfather had been a high official in the imperial court, but he didn't know why he resigned. The family tree said that his grandfather died in the winter of the seventh year of Zhaohua at the age of fifty-eight... This was actually considered a long life, so it was not long before Li Chenan came.
It's normal.
In the seventh year of Zhaohua, he was only one and a half years old, so there was no trace of this grandpa in the memory of the original owner.
He is now seventeen years old, and he still has no other information about this grandfather in his mind, because his father Li Wenhan has never told him.
Whether it was the original owner or myself who returned to the Li family.
This was the reason why Li Chenan shook his head. Only then did he realize that he didn't know anything about his grandfather who had been a high official.
"Your grandfather Li Chunfu, he is two years younger than me. We both studied at Taiyuan University, and he is my junior student!"
"In the second year of Jingtai, your grandfather was a high school scholar at the age of 18. During the imperial examination, he was selected by the late emperor as the most beautiful woman... The Li family and his son were the third most beautiful woman in the imperial examination, and your grandfather was the third most beautiful woman!"
"Later, I left the temple and went to Guangling City. Your grandfather rose through the ranks in the court. In the 30th year of Jingtai, he had reached the rank of Prince's Young Master... and is the teacher of the current emperor."
"In the thirty-fourth year of Jingtai, the late emperor made great achievements and the new emperor ascended the throne. In the first year of Zhaohua, the current emperor worshiped your grandfather as Taiwei. Now he has become a very popular minister."
Li Chenan listened carefully and realized that he was also a serious official of the third generation!
Still an incredible third generation official!
Logically speaking, with such an awesome grandfather, the Li family should have a vast world in the officialdom, because officialdom is all about factions and personal connections!
With the status of Imperial Master and the Emperor's trust, how could he ruin this good hand?
Nowadays, although there are several members of the Li family who are serving as officials in the court, except for the second uncle Li Wenhou who became the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, even the eldest uncle Li Wenyuan, who is also a Jinshi, is now only the fourth-rank Young Master of Honglu Temple.
Just sir.
As for these two families, there are several cousins who are officials in various places, either as county magistrates or doctors, etc.
But what I was talking about with Shang Di at the moment was about Wen Boiyu. Why did he talk about grandpa?
"Wen Boiyu, this person is very mysterious. I only know that he once stayed in your grandfather's house for a long time... He went to Guangling City three years earlier than your grandfather, and his Boiyu Xiao
Not long after the construction was completed, your grandfather also returned to Guangling City."
"I once went to Zhuoyu Xiaozhu with the intention of paying a visit to Mr. Zhuoyu, but unfortunately... maybe he didn't want to see me. In short, I have never seen him once in all the years I have been in Guangling City."
"It's true that I went to Li's Mansion at that time and had a night of drinking and talking with your grandpa. When I asked about Wen Boiyu, your grandpa just said that he... just said that he was an outsider who was indifferent to fame and fortune and loved to travel around the world.
.”
"But now that I think about it, there seems to be something hidden in it. It's such a coincidence, and also because your grandfather obviously knows Wen Boiyu, but he just keeps silent to me."
"In the autumn of the 10th year of Zhaohua, all the people in Zhuoyu Xiaozhu were killed. This incident was extremely sensational in Guangling at that time. Even the Ministry of Personnel and Dali Temple sent people to investigate. In the end... of course it was dropped."
"The Imperial City Division also investigated the case at that time, and only then did we know why it could not be settled."
Li Chenan asked curiously: "What's the reason?"
"It's what Ji Tai ordered the Fish and Dragon Club to do!"
Li Chenan was startled, "...could it be that Yang Sixian led someone to do it?"
"If Wen Xiaowan is really Wen Boiyu's daughter, since she recognized Yang Sixian, it must be Yang Sixian who did it!"
After a pause, Shang Di added: "I picked up Wen Xiaowan on the shore of Peach Blossom Island on the third day after the murder."
"I didn't know her life experience. I just rescued her out of pity because she was still alive. I remember she is eighteen years old this year, so she was five years old that year. The age really matches.
.”
"After she woke up, she said that she was an orphan. There were many orphans in those days, and I didn't connect her with the murder case of Zhuoyu Xiaozhu."
"Since then, she has considered me her master and called herself her slave. Of course I didn't care."
"Then for more than ten years, I taught her chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as martial arts."
"When she was fifteen years old, she said she wanted to leave, saying she was going to the Ningxiang Pavilion... I tried to persuade her, but she insisted on doing so, and of course I had no reason to keep her."
"Come now, the Ningxiang Pavilion was built by his father when he came to Guangling City. She probably went to the Ningxiang Pavilion just to wait for Yang Sixian's arrival."
At this point, Li Chenan has understood the ins and outs of Wen Xiaowan's moth fluttering into the flames.
But he still has a question: What was Wen Boyu's identity when he was by his grandfather's side?
Wen Xiaowan was only five years old at the time. If she were Wen Boiyu's daughter, then Wen Boiyu would be no more than thirty.
If he was unknown, why would Ji Tae kill him?
If he is famous, why doesn't even Shang Di know his identity?
"The Imperial City Department also traced Wen Boyu's identity at that time because he was the person Ji Tai wanted to kill."
"It's just that the level of the task is very high. The results of the investigation can only be reported to Mr. Changsun. I don't know if anything was found in the end, let alone who Wen Boiyu is."
"Mr. Changsun has never mentioned this incident. This person, now seventeen or eight years have passed, and the massacre of Boiyu Xiaozhu has been forgotten by people, let alone the unknown Wen Boiyu."
At this moment, Chunlan came over from outside.
She stood in front of Shang Di and said a long blessing, then called Li Chenan and Zhong Li Ruoshui, and whispered to Shang Di:
"There are rumors that Sister Xiaowan is imprisoned in the water prison of the Fish and Dragon Society."
Li Chen'an and Shang Di looked at each other immediately, because this news should not have spread, or should not have spread so quickly and suddenly.
"fishing?"
Shang Di pondered for a moment and nodded, with confusion on his face: "But who is the fish?"
"If I go to rescue Xiaowan, I will go through the official channels of the Imperial City Division and ask Mr. Changsun to write a handwritten letter asking the Fish and Dragon Society to release her. This is what Mr. Changsun is willing to do."
"Because the Imperial City Secretary has reached the point where he no longer wants to tolerate the Fish and Dragon Society!"
"But the Ichthyosaur Society should not be willing to conflict with the Imperial City Secretary at this time!"
Li Chenan suddenly asked: "But what if Ji Tai is ready?"
The Lijing Division is no longer the opponent of the Fish and Dragon Society, so could the Fish and Dragon Society controlled by Ji Tai have already laid out a plan with the intention of dragging the Imperial City Division into this game?
