Chapter 2172 Mysterious Visitor 20.0

As soon as the words "Jiangnan clan" were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent. Everyone looked at each other with the same wry smile on their faces.

This simply posed an eternal problem for them. Who didn't know that they and the Jiangnan clan were almost incompatible with each other. This feud had been forged since the founding of Daxia and the ban on the imperial examinations of the Jiangnan clan.

Although both sides know that such a decision is good for both of them, the Jiangnan clan does not need to be the target of public criticism, and the royal family and nobles of Daxia can also give an explanation to the poor children who have been oppressed by the Jiangnan clan, but they don’t know why, but they are just competing. Son.

Although the annual New Year's palace banquet is attended by representatives of Jiangnan's big families, and when they meet each other, they are all polite on the surface, saying hello, me, and everyone is fine, but behind the scenes, they are secretly grinding their teeth. I have made up my mind that my goal for the new year is still to push the other person to the ground and rub him hard until he kneels in front of me and calls me grandpa.

Thinking of this, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian couldn't help but look at each other again and shrugged at the same time. If they start investigating them now, their hatred may become deeper and deeper in the future.

Hei Luer looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, then at Xue Ruitian, and finally at Jin Miaomiao and Jin Jing, with a puzzled expression on his face. He couldn't figure out why they suddenly stopped talking.

"Did I say something wrong? Or is there something wrong?"

"No, it's just that the two uncles have been away from Daxia for too long, and they don't know much about the current situation anymore. The Jiangnan clan is not easy to investigate." Shen Cha sighed, glanced at Hei Lu'er, and said, "Commander Hei may not It is very clear that although those clans are not allowed to take imperial examinations or serve as officials, they still have great influence. "

"I've heard something." Hei Luer nodded, "Miss A Piao said something more or less after she guessed my identity. She seems to be from a clan, right?"

"No, the scholarly family and the Qingliu family are not considered a clan." Shen Cha chuckled, "Speaking of which, the ancestors of the two great-uncles were once famous people in the previous dynasty, but they just offended After the previous royal family, the family declined. You two should have some understanding of the situation of the Jiangnan clan. There is a reason why these families may last for a hundred years or even longer. "

"I heard my adoptive father mentioned this matter. He said that the strength of the Jiangnan clan is intertwined. They are very united and don't accept outsiders very much." Hei Lu'er nodded. He thought about it and said, "But you are wrong. Yi The clan my father is talking about is not a big clan like Wang Xie, but a small family that claims to be famous but is actually unknown. "

"A small family background? How small is considered small?"

"Just like what the young master just said, a scholarly family and a noble family, but not a rich family." Hei Lu'er cleared his throat and said, "That's what the adoptive father said at the time. As for Wang Xie's rich families, there are some They have their own character and a way to make a name for themselves, and there is no need to rely on the illusory Qinglian Sect. They cannot, or even disdain, associate with such people. "

"Because they have too much. What the Green Lotus Sect preaches is what they have already obtained and already own. They don't need it anymore."

"Young master is right, that's what I mean." Hei Lu'er nodded, "Those who believe in the Qinglian Sect, and even those who are very loyal to the Qinglian Sect, hope to get some benefits from here, and their desires can rely on Qinglian. The teachings are satisfied. These are not needed by the big clan, so we don’t need to check the big clan and deal with them.” There are many scholarly and noble families, and it’s not that easy to check.”

"This is like finding a needle in a haystack." Jin Miaomiao touched his chin and said, "According to last year's statistics, there are thousands of enterprises that can be considered large-scale. It would take a lot of effort to check this."

"Not only that, but you can't use local people to investigate. You have to transfer people from other places. In this case, it is probably impossible to make the movement smaller." Xue Ruitian sighed softly and said, "It's too difficult. , not to mention that we are at the border all year round and it is beyond our capabilities." He looked at Hei Lu'er, "Didn't your two uncles consider this?"

"Investigating Jiangnan's affairs is definitely not my master's business, right?" Hei Lu'er chuckled and said, "His Majesty the Emperor can't just do nothing, can he?"

"Actually, the most suitable person is far away but right in front of you." Shen Cha hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Commander Black, are your two uncles really not planning to go back to Jiangnan?"

"I also asked them about this, and they said they have no such plans for the time being. In fact, when I was a child, I really wanted to go with them to see the place where they were born and lived, where they once prospered, but I was rejected by them several times. I didn't mention it anymore. Later, when I grew up, I asked them, "Don't you want to go back and visit after being away from home for so long?" Hei Lu'er took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued, "They said, of course. I think, but it is a sad place. They have not completely let go of the past, and going back will only make them feel uncomfortable. When will they be able to go back and take a look."

"They have indeed suffered a terrible disaster." Shen Cha nodded slightly, "If they are willing to go back, they are actually the best candidates."

"Of course, that's what they said themselves." Hei Lu'er spread his hands, "I'm afraid no one knows the situation there better than they do, but before they go back, I have to ask you to be more careful."

"I understand!" Shen Cha nodded, "I will convey these words to His Majesty intact."

Hei Lu'er didn't speak, just smiled at Shen Cha, picked up the teacup and took a few sips. Then, he gently put down the teacup and cleared his throat.

"Besides that, there is another matter, about the issue that the young master asked Buhui to send a letter back."

"Brother Zhen?" Shen Cha was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "Oh, I remember that I asked my uncle to investigate Master Fa Lian. How is it?"

"People have been arranged to investigate. Because the time is short, no news has been sent back. Don't worry, little master. We will investigate it as quickly as possible. Please rest assured." Hei Luer smiled at Shen Cha. Laughing, "Although no one has found any information yet, my adoptive father and uncle remembered some past events related to Master Falian."
