Two hundred and twenty-one illegitimate children
Li Wenjun scratched his head, looked at the screen in front of him, and did not speak for a long time, until the clock on the wall began to tell the time, and he relented.
"Something from the Tang Dynasty... The exiled family... Looks like I'm going to have to ask the masters! ”
Li Wenjun quickly left the table and walked outside.
...
The car rumbled, and Li Wenjun drove to a high-rise compound.
"This place is magnificent, huh? It's really worthy of being a famous family! ”
This is a set of courtyard houses in the first ring of Guoan City, from the mahogany gate, and the decoration of the eaves on it, you can see that this was once a large family.
"Uncle Liu! At home? I'm a friend of Liu Wu! ”
"Come in! The door is unlocked! ”
After hearing the shout, Li Wenjun gently pushed open the door and walked in.
The environment inside is even more magnificent, as soon as you enter the gate, there is a small garden, on the left is a flower garden, on the right is a vegetable garden, and there is a pergola above it, on which some gourds grow, and cucumbers.
A white-haired old man was leisurely watering the flowers in the garden, and he didn't notice Li Wenjun walking in.
"Uncle Liu! It's so idle! Didn't go out for a walk? ”
"No, no, no! your aunt again, it's time to scold me again! ”
The old man turned his face, and his resolute expression was exactly the same as that of his son Liu Wu.
He is Liu Guocheng, Liu Wu's father, who was an anti-Japanese soldier when he was young, and although he is now retired, he still holds the title of army commander.
"Is there anything you have to do here? It can't be that you're looking for my son, right? ”
"Of course not... I've got something to ask you for! ”
"Then follow me!"
The two walked all the way in, bypassing a small pavilion, and the courtyard in front of them was even more spacious, with a screen in the center of the compound, and a wing room on the left and right of the screen.
The wing room is two meters high and seven meters wide, which looks particularly magnificent.
Behind the screen is the main hall, waiting for the living room, which is a variety of solid wood furniture, hanging calligraphy and painting on the wall, two large vases are placed on the side, and there are four big characters written in the center, loyal to the country.
"Come on! Xiao Li, come and sit here! ”
The two of them came to a table directly in front of them and sat down facing each other.
"Say, Xiao Li, what's the matter with me?"
Li Wenjun hurriedly opened the backpack behind him, took out two pieces of paper, and handed them to Uncle Liu.
"Knowing that Uncle Liu can't read the computer, I specially printed two copies of the information, please take a look!"
The purpose of Li Wenjun's coming here this time is to let this old man see, as a veteran who has experienced the Anti-Japanese War, he must know these cultural relics very well, and he also knows them

There are a lot of Taos, and maybe, there will be a certain breakthrough in this direction.
Liu Guocheng took the document, took out the reading glasses he was carrying, and smiled slightly.
"Man! It's not okay to be old! I think when I was fighting devils, I could see it from hundreds of meters away, and I shot my head with a gun, but now I can't do it! The word is right in front of me, and I can't even read it clearly! ”
"Uncle Liu, it's okay, everyone will be old, as long as you are healthy and there is nothing wrong with it, you will be fine!"
Liu Guocheng put on his glasses and carefully examined the things on them line by line until he saw the words on all two pages.
"Where did you get this? This thing must be hundreds of years old, right? ”
"Something from the Tang Dynasty... This is related to a case I am currently in charge of, Uncle Liu, do you see anything? ”
"Well, let me ask you, what do you want to know?"
"Uncle Liu, I want to ask, what is the specific origin of this thing?" Li Wenjun sat down and said solemnly. "According to my investigation, this black dragon is something from the Tang Dynasty, and it is not something that has been passed down among the orthodox emperors, it is very likely that it has been passed down by an exiled family, so I am eager to know now, who is this family?"
"Actually, there is a problem with your investigation..."Liu Guocheng put down the information in his hand and said lightly. This black dragon box has never meant being exiled, or committing any crime, being degraded, but a symbol of an illegitimate child..."
"Bastard?" Li Wenjun looked puzzled. "In other words, the owner of this box is a descendant of the illegitimate son of an emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
"It's very likely, but there's no way to verify it now, because it's been so long, and I definitely don't know that detailed..."
Liu Guocheng shook his head, Li Wenjun saw that he couldn't do anything, and there was nothing he could do, after all, he just asked with the attitude of giving it a try, and he didn't really want to ask something?
"That's fine! Uncle Liu, stay at home, I'll leave first, and I'll put these fruits here for you? No need to send it! ”
Li Wenjun quickly left here, and before Liu Guocheng could speak, he had already rushed out of the gate.
Liu Guocheng looked at Li Wenjun's distant back, looked at the documents on the table again, turned around and stood up, and walked towards the back room.
Walking along the table, there is also a space, which is the inner hall, but he converted it into a study.
The three cabinets full of books prove how much he usually likes basket books, but in fact, he just got a study because he was bored in retirement.
What he is most interested in is the ancient culture, especially the history of the rise and fall of various countries across generations.
And this black dragon, he remembered that some time, he read it in a certain book, and there was a record about this.
"In that book? Old, old, remembered
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It's not so good! ”
Liu Guocheng could only look for them one by one on the bookshelf, and he didn't know how long he had been looking, but he finally let him turn to the book that recorded the history of the black dragon box.
"Found it! That's it! ”
What he held in his hand was a wild history of the Tang Dynasty, which he had picked up from the antique street, worth 20 yuan of Huaxia coins, equivalent to the money of a meal.
In it, there are some things that can't be seen in genuine books, such as the emperor's love history, the collusion of ministers from various countries, and some legends.
And that black dragon box is on the illustration of one of the chapters.
"Here!" Liu Guocheng quickly turned the page and began to study it carefully. "According to legend, during the period of Tang Xuanzong, Tang Xuanzong had a nephew who liked to mess with flowers and grass on weekdays, although those women were very reluctant, but because he had a close relationship with Tang Xuanzong, they didn't dare to disobey without permission!"
"After a long time, he finally caused some trouble, a village girl was forcibly enlarged by him and gave birth to a baby boy, but after the girl gave birth to the child, she jumped into the river and committed suicide, which had a great repercussion..."
"There's no way, this nephew can only discuss with Tang Xuanzong, because it is a relative, so he didn't say anything, just gave him a black dragon box and told him."
"You go and give this box to the girl's parents, saying that this means that you have become relatives of the emperor, we will recognize you, but you can't enter the palace, we will give you some money every month, everything, but you can't meet!"
"The nephew instantly understood what this meant, which is equivalent to a special proof for illegitimate children, famous and indistinguishable, this thing means, tell them that although you have children of the royal family, you will not embark on this road because of this, this is just a little compensation for you."
"At that time, it was already the late stage of Tang Xuanzong, and the overall society was relatively chaotic, so this kind of thing was also concealed, and this box was also a symbol of an illegitimate child..."
"But the descendants of this box have never been heard from, as if they suddenly disappeared from this world..."
Every time Liu Guocheng reads this, he feels that this is a bit like a myth, and it seems to be very suspenseful, but he would rather believe that this black box is a box containing secret letters.
And the content of this secret letter, written in fact, is to send someone to kill the mother and daughter, as well as those who know, to avoid leaking the news and ruining the reputation of the imperial family.
Comparatively speaking, my own idea was more reasonable and in line with the national conditions at that time.
But it's all speculation, and he's just guessing.
"It makes my head hurt a little bit again... Let's go out and breathe..."
Liu Guocheng stood up, he actually knew that he was old, but he just had the strength to not admit defeat.
