The best little magician in the countryside

Chapter 806 Luo Yanran's True Identity
After listening to Luo Qingfeng's words, Jiang Chen asked puzzledly: "The purpose of letting the clansmen relocate is to maximize the benefits of the clan and to make the clan more influential. Why not help? After all, it is important for the clan In terms of the future, not only is it not a loss-making business, but also a long-term investment.”

Luo Qingfeng sneered and said: "What you said is indeed reasonable, but there are nearly a hundred small branches that migrated from such a big family. Even if the family has a strong foundation, you think they will take care of one thing and lose the other and take out most of the resources. For these little offshoots?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned: "That's right, once all the resources are invested, the foundation of the family is bound to be damaged."

Luo Qingfeng spread his hands and smiled: "That's right, other competing families that were originally eyeing up will inevitably flock to them, and by then, let alone expand the family to a larger extent, I'm afraid even the ancestral graves will have to be poached .”

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "But you can't just do nothing and let these branch families fend for themselves, right?"

"Of course not. If they are left to fend for themselves, it's better to find a place to kill them directly. Otherwise, if they come out and do some bad things, wouldn't it be discrediting the face of the family?"

As he said that, Luo Qingfeng changed the subject: "The family's support is based on the fact that the branch families have already made achievements in various places."

"It's like the Luo family. At the beginning, I gained a firm foothold in Baiyun City with some medical skills, and then opened other businesses such as hospitals. After the family saw that I had a foundation here, they gave me some help. The Luo family has become a mid-level family in Baiyun City, and with the hard work of myself and my descendants, the Luo family has become the Luo family that you just met at that time!"

Jiang Chen came to a sudden: "It turns out that you didn't directly make the Luo family stronger, but with the help of the clan."

"As hard as it is to say that, it's true."

Speaking of which, Luo Qingfeng directly returned to the topic: "As far as I know, there are only less than [-] of the nearly one hundred branch families that migrated out, and most of them are gathered in the south of the Yangtze River. .”

"What about the others?" Jiang Chen asked.

Luo Qingfeng smiled wistfully and said: "Some died on the way of migration, that era was still a bit chaotic, there were many bandits and the like, some were ruined not long after settling down, and some were developing In the process, it was trampled by the opponent."

"In short, there are only a dozen of these left in the end, and in the area north of Jiangbei, there are only three left."

"Three families?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Among them, is your Luo family the strongest?"

Luo Qingfeng shook his head: "It can't be said that it's the strongest. Our three families are basically the same. One of the two is in the northwest and the other is in the northeast. They guard the local advantages and make the family flourish. But I heard some time ago that the Luo family in the northwest region seems to be in a bad situation right now."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen pondered for a moment: "Then... if you encounter life-threatening difficulties, will the clan help you?"

"Yes, but just saving some blood will not help counterattack, unless it is a branch that has made great contributions to the family." Luo Qingfeng replied.

Jiang Chen asked again: "Then they took Yanran away because they realized that you would be defeated or trampled to death by me, so they took her away in order to preserve the bloodline?"

Luo Qingfeng shook his head and said: "Taking her away is indeed to preserve the bloodline, but not to preserve the bloodline of my branch."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately showed a puzzled look: "What does this mean?"

Luo Qingfeng smiled bitterly: "Because she is not my biological granddaughter at all!"

"Ah!?" Hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned in place.

Luo Qingfeng smiled sadly: "Don't tell me you don't believe me, if they hadn't notified me two days ago, I would have almost forgotten about those things, and completely regarded Luo Yanran as my own granddaughter."

"What's going on?" Jiang Chen asked.

Luo Qingfeng thought for a while and said: "Things may be complicated to explain, but it's actually very simple to sum up."

As he said that, he looked at Jiang Chen and said, "In every family, there are direct lineages and collateral lines. The so-called direct lineages are the patriarch's own sons and grandsons, while the collateral lines are the descendants of the patriarch's cousin's cousin. .

The difference between the direct line and the collateral line in the family and the direct line and collateral line of the clan is simply that there are more people in the clan and fewer direct lineages in the family. "

"I understand this." Jiang Chen said.

Luo Qingfeng nodded and said: "In the Luo clan in the south of the Yangtze River, the current patriarch has three sons. According to common sense, these three sons are the successors of the clan."

"In terms of common sense? Then there are still unreasonable situations??" Jiang Chen interrupted Luo Qingfeng's words and asked.

Luo Qingfeng shrugged and smiled: "Of course, if I have to say it more appropriately, the clan is like the ancient royal family, and the one who eventually becomes the emperor may not necessarily be the son of the previous emperor, but may also be his brother, or his brother. Brother's son."

"So you mean that these three sons may be replaced by people from the collateral line?" Jiang Chen asked.

Luo Qingfeng nodded: "That's right, if the three of them are incompetent, they must be replaced. Of course, this kind of thing is impossible, because the three sons of the current patriarch are stronger than the other. "

Hearing this, Jiang Chen seemed to understand something, and immediately said: "If I'm not mistaken, Yanran's real biological father is one of the three sons of the patriarch?"

"correct!"

Luo Qingfeng smiled and said: "Luo Yanran's father is the youngest of the three brothers, and he was also the weakest one at the beginning, so it was rumored in the clan that the one who would eventually inherit the position of patriarch should be Luo Yanran's uncle or second uncle .”

"In the past two years, the old patriarch has grown old and is about to change the position of patriarch. Naturally, the secret fight between Uncle Luo Yanran and Uncle Luo has been brought to light."

"In the eyes of everyone, they are the most powerful people who can inherit the position of patriarch, so they have always set their sights on them, and they have stood in line with sincerity early on, wanting to wait until someone wins and becomes the new generation of patriarch , followed by chickens and dogs ascending to heaven."

"It's just that what they didn't expect was that when the fight between the boss and the second child was in full swing, Luo Yanran's father, the third child who was least favored by everyone, suddenly rose up."

"His sudden rise caught everyone by surprise, and also caught the boss and the second brother by surprise, so that without any defense, they were beaten by the third brother with a lot of damage."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen asked suspiciously: "Since no one noticed Luo Yanran's biological father at all, then there is no need for him to send Luo Yanran to you?"
