There must be something wrong at home! Li Jie was lying in the bedroom in the old house, thinking about his parents' performance during dinner today. Although Li Zhu and his wife tried their best to hide it, with Li Jie's intelligence, they naturally saw the unnaturalness in their eyes at a glance, especially when he mentioned that he went to worship at the ancestral grave, his father's performance was even more obvious.

However, Li Zhu and his wife were unwilling to say more, so Li Jie did not ask. No matter what the problem was, he had already gone home anyway, so he would definitely let him know.

Li Jie slept very well that night. Although he was here for the first time, the place where he had family was home. Especially for Li Jie who had been wandering outside for many days, this kind of peace of mind was quite good. When he opened his eyes again, it was already noon outside, and Dier even lay on his bedside waiting for him to wake up.

"Di'er, why are you awake so early?" Li Jie couldn't help but smile when he saw Di'er blinking his big eyes. This girl is a lazy person at home, and sometimes she can sleep in until noon.

"I miss my brother!" Di'er smiled with two rows of white teeth showing off her little white teeth.

Hearing such heartwarming words from his sister, Li Jie couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rub her little head. Dier also laughed. She used to like being with Li Jie the most, and even pestered him to tell stories to herself before she could sleep. However, since she came here, she hadn't seen her brother for a long time.

Li Jie also sat up from the bed, put on his clothes and washed while chatting with Dier. Although the little girl was young, she talked a lot, and she was willing to tell Li Jie that she had been holding it in so long now that she was very annoyed and said it all. Of course, it was all about children, such as she wanted to raise a puppy, but Aunt Zhao disagreed, so she was very angry about it.

Li Jie listened with relish and interrupted from time to time to express his opinions, which also made Di'er more excited. In fact, for Li Jie, he always had to intrigue with others outside for many years and even thought about speaking. That kind of life was far from what he wanted. Now, he said whatever he wanted without restraint with Di'er, which was a rare relaxation.

After washing up, Li Jie went to have breakfast. At this time, Li Zhu and his wife and Aunt Zhao found him and said they wanted to take him around Dingyuan County. Li Jie also thought that the family had not gone out together for a long time, so he nodded happily. Li Zhu asked someone to prepare a carriage, and the whole family went out together. It took a day to make a round of Dingyuan County. Mrs. Li and Aunt Zhao also bought a lot of things for Li Jie.

It was not until the evening that Li Jie and his family returned home, but unexpectedly, there were guests visiting at home. It was after the county magistrate of Dingyuan County who learned about Li Jie's return, and he also visited him in person.

Li Jie and his father Li Zhu came to the living room to meet the county magistrate. Dingyuan County Magistrate is a short and fat middle-aged man with his surname. When he saw Li Jie, he immediately stepped forward to salute him and tried his best to speak. After all, he had already found out that Li Jie was not only a companion for the prince, but also a son-in-law of the prince. Recently, he was named Jinghai Bo. Any of these three names can be crushed to death, so of course he had to serve him carefully, for fear of offending Li Jie.

Li Jie didn't have any good feelings for the Huang County Magistrate. He felt that the other party was too slippery. However, considering that his parents lived here and his hometown was here, he cheered up and responded to the other party for a few words, and finally sent the other party out with great politeness.

"Jie'er, although this Huang County Magistrate is slick, his official voice is still good. Dingyuan County is well-organized under his governance, and the people have a good evaluation of him!" Li Zhu said good things to him after Huang County Magistrate left.

Li Jie nodded after hearing this, and then smiled at Li Zhu: "Father, the prince may only stay in Fengyang for three or five days, so I can't stay for a few days when I come back this time. When are you planning to take me to worship?"

When Li Jie mentioned the worship again, Li Zhu also looked embarrassed, but he nodded quickly and said, "Then let's prepare the worshiping things in the morning, and we will go to the ancestral tomb in the afternoon!"

"Okay!" Li Jie nodded immediately when he heard this. He saw that his father didn't want to take him to the ancestral grave. Obviously, there should be a problem there, so he wanted to clarify the problem before leaving and solve the problem by the way.

The next day, Li Zhu prepared a lot of worship items, and then left home with Li Jie. When he left, Mrs. Li quietly pulled Li Zhu aside and gave a few words to him. Li Jie also saw it, but he didn't ask much.

The carriage left Dingyuan County and then drove to the northwest of the county town. The Li family's ancestral hall and ancestral tomb were both located in a place called Wufeng Mountain in the northwest. The famous Farewell My Concubine in history was said to have happened here.

There is a village at the foot of Wufeng Mountain, named Wufengzhuang. All the people in the village are surnamed Li and they are all ancestors. Li Shanchang was originally from the eldest son of the Li family. There is a cemetery on the hillside behind the village, which is the ancestral tomb of the Li family. All the tribesmen from Wufeng Mountain, who were born in the Li family, will be transported here for burial after their death.

Li Jie originally thought that Li Zhu would take him to Wufeng Village, first meet the old people in the clan and the like, and might even have to go to the ancestral hall in the village to worship, but he did not expect that Li Zhu would take him directly to the cemetery on the mountain.

The cemetery is quite large in size. Almost all the mountainside is surrounded by the walls of the cemetery. There are also some buildings in the cemetery, probably the residence of the ancestral temple or the tombkeepers. The entire building is very new. Li Jie knows that when Li Shanchang asked someone to build an old house, he also built all the ancestral tombs and ancestral halls.

When they stepped to the mountainside, Li Jie was about to enter the cemetery, but he didn't expect that Li Zhu would pull him to the west side of the cemetery with embarrassment, and there was no entrance to the cemetery at all. This made Li Jie stunned. When they walked along the outer wall of the cemetery for a while, they came to a cemetery. They saw that the cemetery should have been newly built, and Li Shanchang's tombstone stood on the main tomb in the middle.

"Father, why aren't grandfather and the others buried in the cemetery?" Li Jie asked immediately when he saw this, his face suddenly became gloomy. He seemed to understand why Li Zhu was unwilling to let them come to worship.

"This... According to the rules of the clan, those who die suddenly cannot enter the ancestral grave." Li Zhu said with a complicated expression, both sad and embarrassing, especially in front of his son, which made Li Zhu feel even more ashamed.

Looking at the expression on his father's face, Li Jie felt sad. He could feel his father's helplessness, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and did not burst out immediately. Then he asked someone to give sacrifices to worship these relatives one by one.

However, after the worship was completed, Li Jie suddenly stood up and walked towards Wufeng Village at the foot of the mountain. This surprised Li Zhu, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him and said, "Jie'er, this is the rule of the clan, you must not make trouble!"

"Don't worry, Father, I have my own sense of responsibility!" Li Jie smiled slightly at Li Zhu, but his smile was a little chill.

Li Jie doesn't care about people like Li Shanchang, even if he doesn't go to the ancestral grave after Li Shanchang's death, he doesn't care, but he feels sorry for his father's guilt for this matter. He can even imagine that with his father's personality, he cannot forgive him no matter what the pain he needs to bear to accept this matter.

After Li Jie said that, he broke free from Li Zhu, then turned over and ran down the mountain with a hundred imperial guards. Li Zhu behind him could not catch up even if he wanted to chase him, so he could only watch Li Jie rush into Wufeng Village with his horse.

Wufeng Village is very big, and the villages are all from the Li clan. Relying on the fields of the clan, these people do not need to go to the fields themselves. There are many villages around them that are tenants of the Li family. In addition, if you study clan studies in the village, you can allow children from the clan to study for free. As long as you have the ability, the clan can provide you with the exam all the way to Beijing.

However, Li Jie's arrival caused a huge wave of the peaceful villa. When he led people into the village, it caused a lot of panic. Some people even thought that the bandits who had disappeared for many years had come again, which made the whole village go in chaos, and every household wanted to find a place to hide.

Li Jie was originally deliberately looking for trouble, but after he led people into the Zhuangzi, he rushed directly to the ancestral hall in the middle of the Zhuangzi. This ancestral hall is also the most conspicuous building in the Zhuangzi. It is tall, majestic and spectacular, and looks like a temple.

The gate of the ancestral hall was open, and Li Jie didn't dismount at all. He rushed into the ancestral hall with his horse. There were special people guarding the ancestral hall. When he saw someone rushing in, he was shocked and immediately saw the murderous appearance of Li Jie and others, especially the imperial guards carrying knives and guns, which scared the people in the ancestral hall to speak out.

"Blast it for me!" Li Jie pointed to the main hall of the ancestral hall with a horse whip in his hand. The guard behind him immediately jumped off his horse when he heard this, and then rushed into the ancestral hall like a wolf or a tiger and smashed it. The altar was overturned, the tablet was knocked off, and the incense and candle were spread all over the floor.

Li Jie looked at all this expressionlessly, but the anger in his heart was still burning. When Li Shanchang was in power, the Li clan members took advantage of Li Shanchang's protection and took advantage of Li Shanchang's protection. Not to mention anything else, most of the tribe fields alone were donated by Li Shanchang, and the ancestral halls in front of him and the cemetery on the mountain were all built by Li Shanchang.

It can be said that without Li Shanchang, the Li family was nothing at all, but after Li Shanchang did so much, he was refused entry into the ancestral tomb by his clan members. Even if Li Jie didn't like Li Shanchang, he felt that it was not worth it for him.

Of course, what annoyed Li Jie the most was that the grievances his father Li Zhu suffered in this matter, with Li Zhu's temperament, would definitely not want to have a quarrel with his clan members. Even Li Jie could imagine that Li Zhu must have begged the clan members to let his relatives be buried in the ancestral grave. However, no matter how many good things he said, Li Shanchang's family could only be buried outside the ancestral grave. When he thought of this, Li Jie wanted to burn the entire ancestral hall directly!
