Chapter 1167 Give Eggs to Sister-in-law Li
In front of the demolished Chen Family Ancestral Hall, after a day and a night, the stagnant water in the underground passage was finally completely drained.

Ye Zheng ran to the old archway to find Shen Lie.

There is a stage behind the old archway, which was converted from the old dojo. At this time, the backyard of the stage is crowded and crowded with people.

Ye Zheng tied his mount to the lion stone pier outside the door, and when he came in, he saw Dai Yu standing with his chest folded under the eaves of the door.

Dai Yuzheng looked irritated, saw Ye Zheng, and asked, "Is the water clean?"

"Well, this is..." Ye Zheng looked at the crowd.

"It's all the village chiefs and sages nearby," Dai Yu said, "The young master ordered Du Xuan to find out who else in Hengxiang is as strange as the Chen family, and now these people have heard that the young master is leaving the city, so they rushed here one after another .”

"So many people." Ye Zheng frowned and looked at the compound.

Accompanying Shen Lie in the main room, besides Du Xuan and Ping Yuefeng, were Xia Jiajun's Gao Zhou and Zhang Ji.

These village sages did not provide many useful clues, most of them came here to ask for advice. There are large and small bags of gifts piled up in front of the main house. A daughter or a daughter of a relative may claim to be a concubine.Not only pushed it to Shen Lie, but Du Xuan and others who were with Shen Lie didn't let it go.

After half a day, everyone was exhausted, so Shen Lie simply hid in a corner.

Ye Zheng and Dai Yu came in from the outside, and after searching for a long time, they finally found Shen Lie standing on the left side of the dilapidated mud elephants outside the crowd.

He was flipping through a book with downcast eyes, facing the window, and his back was facing the lobby. Because there was an incense table behind him as a cover, and he was wearing a long cloud-colored gown cut from floating moon brocade. The style was simple and generous, and the color was plain, so He quietly hid in a corner, and no one could notice without looking carefully.

"Master." The two went over and called out in a low voice.

Shen Lie turned his head, saw Ye Zheng, and said, "Is the secret way ready?"

"Well, it's all right, the snake and the mouse are ready."

After finishing speaking, Ye Zheng glanced at the book in Shen Lie's hand, which was a slightly worn-out genealogy, which said the family tree of the Chen family.

Ye Zhengyi was delighted: "Master, this Chen family, but the Chen family from the Chen family's ancestral hall?"

Shen Lie smiled lightly: "Let's go first."

The sun was high, the summer insects were singing, and the old ashram was not a square building. A low stone wall on the south side was collapsed, and the large square bricks laid on the ground were cracked and wrinkled, and the desertification was serious.

They came out from the small gate, and there were people outside the small gate.

Outside the lush weeds is a small river, and there are many boats floating on the river. When the people who were talking saw Shen Lie coming out of the small door, they stopped talking and looked at him.

Those who have seen him all boasted after they came out. Now that they see it with their own eyes, everyone knows that the rumored handsomeness is definitely not a lie. This dull and hot afternoon seems to be brightened by him.

A woman in her fifties looked up from under a locust tree by the river and saw them walking towards the bamboo hut to the east. She got up from the ground and stared at Shen Lie's back without blinking, with joy in her eyes.

I don't know if the man is 20 years old, with a youthful appearance, handsome and tall, tall and thin.The walking posture is not suave and elegant, but it is restrained and steady, neither fast nor slow, calm and peaceful without being moved by left and right eyes, which is more noble and elegant.

The woman hurriedly picked up a basket of eggs at her feet, and quickly chased after him: "General Shen!"

Shen Lie and the others stopped and looked back.

"General Shen!" The woman looked at him happily, tracing the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, "Oh, it's really you!"

Shen Lie didn't remember meeting her: "You know me?"

"Are you, Mr. Shen from Yunliang's Shen family?" the woman said.

Shen Lie paused slightly, and said, "Yes."

"It's really from the Shen family in Yunliang!" The woman was overjoyed, "Then, Shen Shuangcheng, Lieutenant General Shen, is your father?"

Shen Lie frowned slightly, Dai Yu and Ye Zheng beside him immediately lowered their faces, and they were about to speak, but Shen Lie nodded: "Yes."

"Oh, what a coincidence!" The woman hurriedly picked up the egg basket in her hand, "I haven't been with Lieutenant Shen for more than 20 years, and the old woman thought that I would never see Lieutenant Shen again in this life. This time is really unforgiving !"

The Shen family of Yunliang is extremely wealthy, and they have been businessmen for generations. Like the Guo family of Drunk Deer, they do not want to be contaminated by the power of the dynasty.

The meaning of the ancestral precepts is that it is both right and wrong, and it is enough to maintain a century-old relationship with all the families in the court or in the opposition. Only to protect wealth and honor, not to seek fame and wealth, and there is no need to seek fame and glory.

But when Shen Shuangcheng was young, he was brave and powerful, and he liked to compete with others. He was proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons, such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, axes, forks and forks.

Unwilling to be trapped in Yunliang, he went to wander around as a knight-errant, and finally entered the main camp in the south of the Yangtze River. In just three years, he became a lieutenant general.

Later, Shen Lie's grandmother Cui Shi forced her to die, and Shen Shuangcheng had to resign from the military service and return to Yunliang.

He was also lucky. In the second year after he returned to Yunliang, the military system of Dagan was changed, and the Cunzheng Camp was merged into the Jiangnan Military Camp along with the other six major military camps.

At that time, Zhuang Mengyao was just Li Zhixi's Zhonglang general. Later, Li Zhixi died of a serious illness. Zhuang Mengyao replaced Li Zhixi as the general of the Jiangnan barracks because of his many years of business contacts.

As soon as he came to power, Zhuang Mengyao would fight against dissidents and eliminate dissidents. If Shen Shuangcheng hadn't retired early, he might be "liquidated" together with the old Cunzhengying Department.

Shen Lie didn't know much about Shen Shuangcheng's past, he only heard it from other people, especially his mother said the most during her lifetime.

But obviously, the mother's knowledge is very limited, at least Shen Lie has no idea that Shen Shuangcheng has been to Hengxiang, including the fact that Shen Yan said before that Shen Shuangcheng chased and killed Qiao's Zhi Zhongyi when he was young, he didn't know either.

The joy in the woman's eyes could not be concealed at all, and her tanned hands were always holding the egg basket, which was full, at least fifty or sixty.

Seeing her keep handing it like this, Shen Lie looked at Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then paused, and stepped forward to pick up the eggs.

"Thank you for the gift," Shen Lie said, "Where do you live and what is your last name?"

"The old woman's surname is Li, and the wood is Li! The wood is on top, and the wood is on the bottom!" The old woman smiled, "This is what Vice General Shen taught me in person! Haha, my hometown lives in Beichangtou, Hengxiang. Unfortunately, the place in front of me The short-lived fell into the river and drowned. I was a widow for ten years, and I only married here in the south two years ago, and I was with an old bachelor."

Her smile became a little more shy, and after she finished speaking, she said to herself again: "Ah, by the way, how has Vice General Shen been doing these years? How is your health?"

Shen Lie didn't know, so he didn't answer, and asked instead: "How did you meet him back then?"

"It was just a coincidence," the old woman said, as if it was yesterday, "He seems to have received some military order to chase a group of people back, and the group ran into the Tao'an Mountains in the north, so he led the troops to leave. I chased it in. It is said that I almost lost my way inside. In a team of more than 30 people, only six people survived! It just so happened that the short-lived person in front of me went there to collect medicine and was rescued by the way. This Shen Lieutenant..." The old woman once again Laughing, "He is really handsome. We people in the mountains have never seen such a good-looking man. He is still a young general! So, I will remember him all my life."

Speaking of this, she looked Shen Lie up and down with a pair of eyes, and shook her head in admiration: "Young Master Shen's face is really too similar to him, no no, it looks better than him. Back then, haha... Back then, Lieutenant Shen He also joked that if I have a son and a half in the future, he will be my in-laws, haha...but, I have never had a baby in my life."

Shen Lie said "um", and said: "Sister-in-law Li, I still have things to do, I will accept the eggs first, thank you for your kindness."

"You're welcome, you're welcome," the old woman said hastily, "And let's call this Mrs. Li, that's what Vice General Shen called me back then, otherwise, you can call me Old Lady Li, haha!"

Shen Lie's expression remained calm, and he said lightly: "Let's take my leave first, Mrs. Li."

All around looked at them.

After Shen Lie, Dai Yu, and Ye Zheng turned around and left, people who knew and didn't know gathered around and asked the old woman what was going on.

Dai Yu looked back at them, then looked at the basket in Ye Zheng's hand, and said, "Master, these bastards..."

"Send someone to protect her, it's hard to guarantee that she won't be targeted by those people," Shen Lie said in a deep voice, "and prepare some silver and cloth to send to her home."

"Well, good!" Dai Yu nodded, "It should be easy to inquire about."

　Thank you for the reward in April Weiyu, thank you
