Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 391 Adulang

Hearing Xue Yunyan's question, Xue Yunheng brushed the scum off his sleeves, and said unhurriedly: "As far as I know, there are currently thirteen households of nobles and gentlemen in Xin'an County, and the senior members of these thirteen households , I have read at least half of it, and there is not a single gentry family that has been missing for two years. As we all know, the country of Zhao is sparsely populated. Only one army was sent to garrison, and the rest of the civilian officials still used the old Ministry of Chen Guo without replacement."

Xue Yunyan frowned and listened without any fluctuation on his face.

The situation that Xue Yunheng said at this moment is not uncommon in today's war among the Three Kingdoms.

The borders of Chen, Zhao, and Tang have always bordered each other, and they have been conquered continuously for nearly a hundred years. Often, the surname of this place is Chen today, Zhao tomorrow, and Tang the day after tomorrow.

Because of the rapid changes in the situation, the national concept of the people of the three countries is not so strong. As long as they are not selling out for glory, it is nothing for those low-level officials to do things under the hands of the enemy. One side is safe.

At this time, I heard Xue Yunheng continue: "In the records of the Xin'an Shi clan, there are very clear records about this period of time, and what the clan's children did when they were officials in the past two years is also recorded in the book. And if I compare and compare these readings, I found that none of these gentry has ever mentioned the Lu family, as if this gentry did not exist."

"There is such a thing?" Xue Yunyan raised his brows slightly, and there was a faint smile in his tea crystal eyes: "Lu's family reading, the first emperor saw it with his own eyes."

Back then, Lu Shizhu married into the royal family.It stands to reason that any prefect who married into the royal family must submit the genealogy and official records to Kecao (Ministry of Rites) for review in advance.Of course, the so-called review here is actually checked by the emperor himself, and Ke Cao is just changing hands.After the emperor had checked and confirmed that there was no problem, the noble woman had the conditions to marry into the royal family, and the marriage could continue.

However, there was a big problem with Lu's family history and genealogy, but the first emperor turned a blind eye to it. In the end, he even promoted the daughter of the gentry who had a big problem——Lu Shizhu, into a princess, and finally became a generation of queens. world.

"Why? What's the reason?" Xue Yunheng muttered to himself, his dark brows were tightly frowned, and there was a trace of suspicion in his expression, "Could it be that the family tree of the Lu family was re-copied, and the original one has been lost? ?”

This reason barely makes sense, but Xue Yunyan's next words directly pointed out the most important point.

"Even if the genealogy is re-transcribed, what's the point of not seeing Lu's family in the two-year review of the various gentry families in Xin'an?" He looked at Xue Yunheng and said without a trace of expression on his face.

As soon as these words came out, both of them fell silent.

The gentry in Xin'an don't remember the Lu family, so it can't be said that their partnership deliberately omitted to write about the Lu family, right?Therefore, there is only one possibility, that is, did the Lu clan appear in Xin'an during those two years.

No one knows what happened to the Lu family who disappeared for two years and where the clan members are.

The fine snow fell one after another, and in the empty courtyard, two equally slender figures stood for a long time without even noticing that the clothes on their bodies had been stained white by the snow.

"Mr. Da Lang, Mr. Er Lang, Mr. Tao has sent someone to deliver a letter." A voice suddenly came, breaking the silence in the garden.

Xue Yunyan followed the sound, but saw that it was Adu who came, and he was holding a lacquer plate like before, and there was a letter on the plate.

"Let me see it." Xue Yunyan said.

A Du carefully submitted the letter, looked at Xue Yunyan's eyes, and said softly: "Mr. Da Lang wants to reply."

After reading Zhan Xin at a glance, Xue Yunyan handed the letter to Xue Yunheng who was at the side, waved his hand to A Du, and said, "No, please send the letter back."

Ah Du, yes, he left the yard quickly.

It wasn't until he reached the study that he let out a long breath.

Mr. Da Lang's aura is too strong, every time he talks to Mr. Da Lang, he will feel uncomfortable.

After wiping the sweat off his forehead, Ah Du slowed down and came to the front yard.Standing in that yard was a boy of eight or nine years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a simple and honest face.

Ah Du coughed, walked forward with his feet on the shelf, and said in a tone of voice: "A Cheng, you go back and tell Mr. Tao that Mr. Da Lang didn't reply." He then felt in his bosom, and it took a long time to find it out. A big buck.

With a painful expression on his face, he handed the big money to A Cheng, waved his hand reluctantly and said: "It's your reward, take it."

This is the money he saved with great difficulty. Don't look at his Adu who is called "Aduwu", but he doesn't have those Aduwu on his body. His name is really unfair.

A Cheng took the money respectfully, untied a hemp paper bag tied around his waist, handed it to A Du with his hands high above his head, and said politely: "Brother Du, thank you for the reward. You can save the twisted candies I bought on the way."

A Du took the candy with a wry smile, quickly stuffed it into his sleeve, and then said solemnly: "You are too polite, why are you being so polite with your brother Du?"

A Cheng held back a smile and made a promise, then withdrew.

He came out today to buy pens and inks for Qin Yanzhao, and just happened to meet Master Tao before he went out, so he came to Xue's mansion to deliver a letter for him.

Just now after entering the door, the guy who greeted him was this boy who called himself "A Du Lang" but was actually called A Du.

A Cheng saw that he was not a few years older than him, but he looked old-fashioned, and his airs were so high.

Ah Cheng knew that this was a servant of the Xue family, a servant of their Dachenguan clan, not to mention the Qin family, even if the Marquis of Han'an Township came in person, he would have to be polite when he saw Aduna, not at all. Dare to neglect, it can be seen how much face these servants of the Guan family have.

Because of this, Ah Cheng also flattered Ah Du very much. Although he didn't get much out of him, he knew one thing: Mr. Erlang of the Xue family has arrived in Pingcheng.

He wanted to write down this news and tell Achang later.

A Cheng sat on the bullock cart, frowning and wrote down the matter carefully.

Speaking of which, this Achang was sent by Liu Niangzi from Shangjing.According to Achang's occasional mention, he used to be in charge of delivering water to people in Shangjing, but he didn't know Liu Niangzi. He just opened a rice shop in Pingcheng on the orders of his savior. Incidentally pass on the message.

A Cheng and A Chang were able to get in touch because of tokens, but they rarely talked with each other.And the token in Ah Cheng's hand was handed over to him by Zhou Yu in the days after the earthquake in Shangjing.

With this token as proof, Ah Cheng would go to the rice shop every few days to write down the news about the Qin family and pass it on to A Chang.

Today, he happened to meet Linqiu Xue Erlang's servant, Ah Cheng instinctively felt that the news was important and he should not forget it.
