Chapter 50 Is it really just a coincidence?

With an indescribable mood, Lu Li returned to the academy of the Dali Dynasty Palace. The old eunuch who had accompanied him went to help him investigate the matter of the old beggar, saying that there would be a result at most five days.

Lu Li, who returned to the Tibetan Academy, no longer felt thrilling, but more curious.

No matter how similar the old beggar and the old eunuch in charge of the Tibetan Academy, they should not be the same person. After all, Lu Li had just seen the old beggar's body before, and they were both stinking.

So is it really just a coincidence that two people who are exactly the same and even have no difference in their words and deeds? Will there be any special relationship between the two parties?

Lu Li said he would wait and see.

The initial sense of thrillingness of seeing the old eunuch was gone. This incident was just a small matter for Lu Li. When the result was that he wanted to understand the emperor who disappeared in the long river of history and could not even be sure of whether he existed or not.

Facing this old eunuch again, Lu Li inevitably took a few more glances.

It looks so similar. Except for looking exactly the same, there is no difference between the posture and expression of basking in the sun. Except for one is an old beggar and the other is an old eunuch, Lu Li believes that they are the same person.

"See sir, the general manager has given instructions before. Just give me a command to read any book you want. The younger one immediately asked you to find it. Oh, by the way, I have someone make a special room for you to rest and read. I also arranged two palace maids to serve you at any time." The old eunuch immediately stood up and said carefully when he saw Lu Li appearing here again.

Nodded, Lu Li said, "Please trouble my father-in-law."

"No trouble, it should be," the other party immediately smiled apologized. The cautiousness of being in a place of intrigue for a long time in the palace has really been engraved in his bones.

Originally, Lu Li came here with his purpose, and directly said: "I want to read books about history, whether it is official history or folk legends. The more detailed the better. Well, biography of characters, travel notes, etc. are fine."

"No problem, sir, wait, I will arrange someone to prepare for you immediately. However, there are about three million books in the academy that sir, in the collection of books of these categories. Do you really want them all?" the old eunuch nodded and said.

After a smile, Lu Li said, "Yes, I have agreed with His Majesty that I will borrow books here for a long time."

"Sir, please go to the room prepared there to rest first, and the books will be delivered to you soon." The old eunuch gave Lu Li a tip and said.

Without leaving immediately, Lu Li couldn't help but ask curiously: "I don't know what to call this father-in-law? How long have you been in the palace?"

"If you want to be a master, the younger one is named Liu Mumu. He entered the palace at the age of five and has experienced three generations of emperors. It has been 93 years now. Just call me Xiao Linzi," the old eunuch replied.

Liu Mumu? Xiaolinzi?

Slightly stunned, Lu Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Eunuch Liu is almost a hundred years old?"

"Haha, yes, I've been cautious all this life, and almost no one who entered the palace with me back then is here, and I don't have much time to live," said Eunuch Liu with a sigh.

After living in a place like the palace for more than 90 years, he can still live here for retirement. Lu Li has to say that this is also a person who has become a spirit.

No more said anything, Lu Li nodded and turned to the room specially prepared for him.

Lu Li had no doubt about Eunuch Liu's identity. After all, such a thing cannot stand scrutiny. He has been in the palace for nearly a hundred years. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to fabricate such a false identity.

In this way, he and the old beggar were just two people who were completely unrelated, and it seemed like they were just a coincidence.

Soon, the books Lu Li needed were sent to him one after another, and he devoted himself to these heavy historical documents, and the magnificent pictures slowly unfolded in front of him through words.

Reading books, especially history books, should be a boring thing, but Lu Li reads history books with his purpose, which is a happy experience that ordinary people cannot experience.

This is a decryption game that requires patience, to peel off the threads and find the information he wants from countless useless information...

Anyway, he found it very interesting.

As he watched various official and unofficial histories and folk legends, although Lu Li still did not find a description of the great emperor in history, he learned a lot of heavy, suppressed, or shocking stories and characters, and his understanding of this world gradually became richer.

All the food and drinks were in the Tibetan Academy. Four days later, the old eunuch who led Lu Li to come and report to Lu Li's thoughts from the magnificent history.

"Mr. Lu, after the investigation of these days, the old beggar has nothing to do with Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu entered the palace at the age of five and has hardly left the palace. Eunuch Liu's life experience is also very innocent and has been registered. As for the old beggar who died, named Zhang Wen, now 86 years old. He is a farmer. When he was fifty, he was a family of children and grandchildren. Because of an epidemic, he was the only one left in his family. From then on, he wandered around and begged for a living. All of this is traceable. For specific details, whether it is Eunuch Liu or the old beggar named Zhang Wen, I have prepared a detailed information on their lives. Mr. Lu can check it at any time. If you have any doubts, please give me some instructions and I will immediately investigate it."

After saying that, the old eunuch who came to report presented Lu Li with a pile of more than twenty books, all of which were newly bound, and detailed the lives of Eunuch Liu and the old beggar.

After reading it casually, they were really two completely irrelevant people. Lu Li could only say that there was such a bizarre thing in the world.

"It's a good father-in-law, let's stop this matter." Lu Li put down the book he had read casually and said.

"Young Master Lu is so serious, it's all right. If there is anything, just give me an order. The younger one will not disturb Mr. Lu..."

When he was alone, Lu Li couldn't help but touch his chin. Now the facts were right in front of him. Eunuch Liu and the old beggar were completely different people, and the life trajectory could not be faked.

"Forget it, maybe I'm thinking too much, this is a coincidence..."

No longer worrying about this issue, Lu Li once again devoted himself to history.

One day two days...one month two months...

Millions of historical books were quickly browsed by Lu Li. At first, he just took a quick look at them. However, as time passed, he maintained the Taoist breathing method to comprehensively improve his physical fitness. Later, his reading speed was no different from reading. He read more than thousands of books every day!

However, after reading so many books, the great emperor Lu Li speculated still did not find clear evidence to prove that it existed in this vast historical book.

Lu Li even doubted whether his speculation was wrong.
