In fact, according to the emperor, the head of the Zhou family has not yet admitted that Zhou Lu is a Khitan prince, but he has not denied that the one who was arrested is fake, and he doesn't know where Zhou Lu really is.

It turned out that Zhou Lu was not a descendant of the Zhou family, his biological mother Zhou Suzhen was the youngest daughter of the head of the Zhou family, one year, Zhou Suzhen and her brother went out to collect accounts, and saved a young man in his twenties on the way, because the man was seriously injured, the brother and sister were afraid of causing trouble and did not dare to take it home, so they sent each other to a broken temple and left some dry food for each other.

Originally, the elder brother thought that this matter would be over, but who knew that Zhou Suzhen was worried about the injured person, and secretly ran to the other party to deliver food and medicine.

A few months later, the head of the Zhou family knew that she was pregnant, but Zhou Suzhen didn't say who the man was, and her brother took someone to the broken temple to check after learning about it, and at that time, the person had already left.

In the end, the Zhou family couldn't do it, so for the sake of their daughter's reputation, they had to hide her and secretly give birth to this child.

Coincidentally, three months later, Zhou Suzhen's brother's child was gone, and in order to let this child grow up openly, the head of the Zhou family replaced the fake Zhou Lu with the dead real Zhou Lu.

After the child was three years old, the child's father suddenly came to him, and the head of the Zhou family learned that the child's father was a Khitan.

Because the Zhou family didn't want to admit that Zhou Lu was the other party's son, they lied that the child was dead, but the other party also believed it, because his people did find out that Zhou Suzhen's son was dead.

But the head of the Zhou family was worried that this matter would be exposed sooner or later, so after thinking about it, he took this grandson with him to raise him personally, and in order to wash away the Khitan mark of this child, the head of the Zhou family specially invited a famous teacher for him to teach him a subset of scriptures and history, and teach him the etiquette and culture of the Han people.

It's just that no one thought that this child would look more and more like his father as he grew older, and then one day, his father came to his mother again and wanted to take his mother away, and then he found out his existence again.

The other party immediately stopped doing it, and wanted to forcibly take Zhou Lu away, Zhou Lu was ten years old at that time, and had his own thoughts, he followed his father to the Khitan, and came back half a year later, since then, he does not say his father's identity, but will often walk between Bingzhou and Khitan.

In order to facilitate his movement on both sides, Zhou Lu found a reason for himself to study and collect debts, and most of the Zhou family believed it, in fact, not many people really knew his identity, especially those who knew about it back then, all of them were disposed of by the head of the Zhou family for various reasons.

The real change was that the crown prince and Lu Duan's Zhou family and his party that year, but it happened that Zhou Lu was at home, but because he was not the successor of the next head of the Zhou family, the head of the Zhou family did not inform him of the true identity of the prince and Lu Duan, nor did he tell him the relationship between the Zhou family and the royal family of the Great Zhou.

But the clever Zhou Lu found out that something was wrong, so he took the opportunity of the study tour to go to the capital to find out the truth.

In fact, that night, even if there was no song "A Laugh in the Sea", he would have used the excuse to talk to Lu You and Lu Ming, because he had already inquired about it, and the children of these military generals liked to gather there every Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this song was actually written by a woman, and later, as soon as he inquired casually in the capital, Zhou Lu also knew Yan Yanqi.

According to the head of the Zhou family, the recipes and seeds that Zhou Lu bought back from Yan Yan were indeed given to the Zhou family, and originally, the matter would be complete by this end.

But who knew that Zhou Lu's wife who had not passed through the door was angry, and ran to Da Zhou alone to provoke Yan Yan, which aroused Yan Yan's suspicions, so Li Cong ordered someone to follow her, and then went to Bingzhou to investigate some matters between Zhou Lu and the Zhou family and the Liu family.

For this reason, Zhou Lu had to find a way to deal with it, and found a person who was almost the same as him from the Khitan to impersonate him, and let him go out to marry a wife and have children, originally wanted to find a reason for smallpox to fake his death and escape, but who knew that Kong Mingdeng happened, and the emperor took the first step to order someone to capture the head of the Zhou family and the fake Zhou Lu.

After that, the head of the Zhou family didn't know what happened.

"Back to the emperor, do you believe it?" Yan Yan asked Li Cong.

She herself doesn't believe it, if the head of the Zhou family really doesn't know Zhou Lu's specific identity, he will take it with him and raise it personally? Will he let him go back and forth between the Great Zhou and the Khitan? Will he help him fake his death and escape?

You must know that there are no Han people who have intermarried with the Khitans on the border, if they are ordinary Khitan descendants, the Zhou family has spent so much effort to cultivate?

"He is the head of the family, can he not know that if this matter is to be revealed, the entire Zhou family will be wiped out?" Li Cong couldn't figure this out either.

The previous heads of the Zhou family were very loyal, how could this head of the family be so confused? Even if there is a Danshu iron coupon, you can only spare three deaths for your descendants, that is to say, you can only forgive three people at most, the Zhou family is also a century-old business family, and there are hundreds of people in the whole clan, let alone a few hundred people, let these hundreds of people go to exchange for Zhou Lu alone, under normal circumstances, how can this account be calculated?

"So he must know Zhou Lu's identity, perhaps, it was Zhou Lu's father who gave the Zhou family some promises." Yan Yan guessed.

But with the Khitan prince here, it is impossible for the Khitan to promise to pass the throne to Zhou Lu, right?

But if Zhou Lu is a traverser, it is another matter, he has ambition and ability, and the important thing is that he also knows that the Khitan's qi is almost exhausted, and if he doesn't rise up, he should really be destroyed by the Jurchen and the Great Zhou.

Therefore, it is also possible that Zhou Lu promised something to the head of the Zhou family, because no matter what he wants to do in the future, he will definitely need the economic support of the Zhou family.

Therefore, after learning that the head of the Zhou family was arrested, Zhou Lu couldn't wait to take Bingzhou and Jinyang, and couldn't wait to arrest Lu Duan, in order to negotiate conditions with Da Zhou.

This is also the case, in this way, how dare Li Cong easily order to kill the two heads of the Zhou family?

But who knew that this matter had not yet been settled, and it was rumored that Yan Yan collaborated with the enemy, and it was rumored that Yan Yan and Zhou Lu had a private relationship.

Li Cong naturally believes in Yan Yan, but what about the others?

No, before much, the Lu family jumped out first, and wanted to force Yan Yan to come forward to save Lu Duan in his name, does this not clear that he wants to separate him and Yan Yan?

Thinking of the separation, Li Cong looked at Lu You, "Boy, what kind of person is Yan'er, and how she has treated you in the past two years, you have to know in your heart, don't be confused and be calculated." ”

"Back to the emperor, the kid won't, the kid originally wanted to persuade the emperor, since the emperor understands better than the kid, the kid won't say anything superfluous, but the kid has a request, and he asks the emperor to agree." Lu You knelt down.

Yan Yan looked at him suspiciously when he saw this, and he didn't hear any requests from him on the way here?
