Hearing Xue Yunyan's question, Xue Yunheng brushed the snow foam on his sleeve and said unhurriedly: "As far as I know, there are now thirteen large and small scholar families in Xin'an County, and I have read at least half of these thirteen households, and none of them have been missing for two years. As we all know, Zhao www.biquge.info sparsely populated, and after seizing Huayin and Xin'an counties, there was no manpower to govern it, so only an army was sent to garrison it, and the civilian officials still used the old department of Chen Guo and did not replace it. ”

Xue Yunyan listened with his eyebrows raised, without a trace of fluctuation on his face.

The situation that Xue Yunheng said at this moment is not uncommon in today's melee between the three kingdoms.

The borders of the three kingdoms of Chen, Zhao and Tang are bordering each other, and they have been conquered for nearly a hundred years, and it is often this place whose surname is Chen today, Zhao's surname tomorrow, and Tang's surname the day after tomorrow.

It is precisely because the situation is changing too quickly that the national concept of the people of these three countries is not so strong, as long as they are not traitors seeking glory, those low-level officials working under the hands of the enemy country are nothing, if you look at it from another angle, they can be regarded as seeking peace for the local people.

At this time, I heard Xue Yunheng continue: "In those Xin'an clan's valve readings, the records of this period of time are very clear, and what the children of the clan have done when they have been officials in the past two years are also recorded. And if I look at the staggered comparison of these valves, I find that none of these scholars have ever mentioned the Lu clan, as if this scholar clan does not exist. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Xue Yunyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and in his tea-colored eyes, there was a faint smile that was difficult to understand: "The Lu family has seen it with his own eyes. ”

Lu Shizhu married into the royal family back then. It stands to reason that any county wang who marries into the royal family must submit the genealogy and valve reading to the Kecao (Ministry of Rites) for review in advance. Of course, the so-called audit here is actually witnessed by the emperor himself, and Ke Cao is just a change of hands. And after the emperor looked at it and confirmed that there was no problem, the women of the scholar clan had the conditions to marry into the royal family, and the marriage could continue to go down.

However, there was a big problem with the separation of the Lu family and the genealogy, but the first emperor turned a blind eye, and even finally raised the daughter of the problematic scholar family, Lu Shizhu, to the crown princess, and finally became a generation of queens, the mother of the world.

"Why, what's the reason?" Xue Yunheng muttered to himself, his dark eyebrows frowned, and there was a hint of doubt in his expression, "Could it be that the Lu family's genealogy was re-copied, and the original one has been lost?"

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

"Even if the genealogy is re-transcribed, and there is no trace of the Lu clan in the two years of the Xin'an Shi clan, what is the explanation?" 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 Xin'an clan does not remember the Lu family, so it cannot be said that they collaborated to deliberately omit the affairs of the Lu family, right? Therefore, there is only one possibility, that is, the Lu family did not appear in Xin'an in those two years.

The Lu clan, which disappeared for two years, no one knows what happened during that period and where the clansmen were.

The snow fell one after another, and in the empty courtyard, two equally slender figures stood for a long time, and they didn't even notice that their clothes had been dyed white by snow.

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

Xue Yunyan followed the sound and looked, but saw that the person who came was Ah Du, and he was still holding a lacquer plate like Fang Cai, and there was a letter on the plate.

"Show me. Xue Yunyan said.

Ah Du carefully presented the letter, looked at Xue Yunyan's eyes, and said softly: "Da Langjun wants to reply to the letter." ”

After Zhanxin looked at it at a glance, Xue Yunyan gave the letter to Xue Yunheng on the side, and waved his hand to Ah Du, saying, "No, please send the letter back." ”

Ah Du should be, and his footsteps quickly left the courtyard.

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

Da Lang Jun's momentum is too strong, and every time he talks to Da Lang Jun, he will feel uncomfortable.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ah Du slowed down and came to the front yard. There was an eight- or nine-year-old boy standing in the courtyard, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a simple face.

Ah Du coughed, stepped forward with his feet, and said in a tone of voice: "Ah Cheng, you go back and tell Tao Fuzi that Da Langjun did not reply." As he spoke, he took it into his arms, and it took him a long time to find a big coin.

With a painful expression on his face, he handed over the big money to Ah Cheng, and waved his hand painfully: "If you are rewarded, take it." ”

This is the money he saved so easily, don't look at the Ah Plug he called "Ah Block", but he doesn't have those Ah Blocks on his body, his name is really wronged.

Ah Cheng respectfully took the money, took off a hemp paper bag tied around his waist, raised his hands above the top and handed it to Ah Du, and said politely: "Brother Xie Du's reward, this is the twisted candy I bought on the road, you can keep it and taste it." ”

Ah Du took the candy with a smile, quickly put it into his sleeve, and then said seriously: "You are too polite, why are you so polite to your brother." ”

Ah Cheng smiled and agreed, and then withdrew.

He came out to buy pen and ink for Qin Yanzhao today, and happened to meet Tao Fuzi before going out, so he came to Xue Mansion to deliver a letter for him.

After entering the door, he was greeted by this little guy who called himself "Ah Du Lang" but was actually called Ah Du.

Ah Cheng saw that he was not a few years older than himself, but he looked old-fashioned, and the shelf was so good that it was a foot.

Ah Cheng knew that this was the servant of the Xue family, and it was the servant of their Dachen Guan clan, not to mention the Qin family, even if the Marquis of Han'an came in person, he had to be polite when he saw Ah Duna, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, which shows how big the face of these Guan clan's servants is.

Because of this, Ah Cheng was also very flattering to Ah Du, although he didn't say much about the other party, he knew one thing: Xue Jia's Erlang Jun has arrived in Pingcheng.

He had to write down the news and tell Ah Chang later.

Ah Cheng sat on the ox cart and wrote down the incident with a frown.

Speaking of which, this Ah Chang is the person sent by the sixth lady from Shangjing. According to Ah Chang's occasional mention, he used to be in charge of delivering water to people in Shangjing, but he didn't know the person Liuniangzi, he just opened a rice shop in Pingcheng on the instructions of his life-saving benefactor, and passed on the news by the way.

Ah Cheng and Ah Chang were able to get in touch with each other by means of tokens, but there was little conversation between the two of them. And the token that Ah Cheng had in hand was handed over to him by Zhou Yu in the days after the movement in Beijing.

With this token as evidence, Ah Cheng would go to the rice shop every few days to write down the news of the Qin family and forward it to Ah Chang.

Today, I happened to meet Xue Erlang's little servant from Xiaqiu, and Ah Cheng instinctively felt that this news was important and should not be forgotten.
