After thinking about it habitually, Bai Zhen'er finally burned the letter, and she changed her clothes and prepared to go out to the bluestone alley as usual. If you guess correctly, the answer to this question is only a matter of a few days.

Bai Zhen'er usually came to the door of this courtyard with things, and this time she personally knocked on the door.

The people inside didn't answer, Bai Zhen'er was also very patient, she had been waiting outside. It wasn't until half an hour later that the door finally creaked open.

The boy opened his mouth and said, "Childe, please come in." ”

"I'm tired." Bai Zhen'er smiled, then walked into the courtyard, and took a look at this structure, which was actually a very ordinary courtyard, and even felt a little defeated.

The courtyard was not big, Bai Zhen'er followed through a corridor, and saw the old man sitting under the corridor, sure enough, he was the patriarch of the Bai clan, and his momentum did not diminish at all.

"I've seen Uncle Bai." Bai Zhen'er stood respectfully and saluted three steps away from the old man.

After half a ring, the old man made a little sound: "It's strange, my Bai family actually has such a Mulan-like woman." ”

Bai Zhen'er looked up and said, "Since the clan prince already knows my identity, he should also know why I came?" ”

"I don't know why you're here, but I know that if you don't leave earlier, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

"The ancestor of the Bai family would rather break the jade than be complete. If I dare to come, I will not be afraid of these things. ”

The old man took a sip of a cup of tea and said, "What's the use of you coming to me, an old man?" The old man retired for many years. It's been a long time since I was gone. ”

"Of course, I know that. Because there is something related to the survival of the whole clan, I have to rush over to disturb the peace of the clan father, and ask the clan lord to forgive me. ”

"The whole family? Hehe, the old man doesn't know when the misunderstanding of his family members has become a matter related to the whole family. The old man still didn't look back.

"It seems that the clan lord already knows the reason why I came, and the junior will not follow the class to get an axe. A few years ago, I went out to travel the mountains and rivers due to illness, but I saw some things. The seasons change. Flowers bloom. This is the general flow of natural homeopathy, even among the cultivators, there are also those who have endured the calamity of the heavens. on this. The younger generation is a little confused. I want to ask the clan to solve my doubts. ”

"The clouds go up and down. Yin and yang are born together, and naturally there is a beginning and an end, all of which is not absolute. ”

"The clan agreed. Follow the trend and go against the tide with the cultivators, which is true and which is false? ”

"All things are mutually reinforcing, and there is a reason for nature. Are you here today just to say this? ”

"Naturally not, the younger generations will pass by this bluestone alley these days, and I was bored to count the number of stone slabs in this alley, which just reminded me of an allusion I saw in a miscellaneous book. I also benefited a lot from it. ”

When Bai Zhen'er talked about the bluestone slab, the old man paused, and he put down the pebbles that he had been playing with in his hand. At this moment, he looked into the distance and said, "These are all old things." ”

This is indeed an old thing, in the previous dynasty, the Bai family was still a big family in the capital, when the Bai family rose a long time ago, it was the monarch of the previous dynasty who personally paved the nine nine eighty-one stone slabs, and then greeted the ancestors of the Bai family, which helped the previous dynasty to lay down and prosper the country, which lasted for nearly five hundred years.

This is the story of the famous bluestone slab, the bluestone prime minister became a synonym, and the bluestone seal became a symbol of the prime minister.

It was also later that the division of the heroes that had been maintained for hundreds of years, the Bai family had to relocate the family, and after the chaos of the times, the Bai family was the same as those big families, almost no longer the same as before.

When Bai Zhen'er saw the bluestone slab, she was thinking that the heart of the Bai family has never changed, but unfortunately the times are different, and the Bai family does not have very outstanding descendants who can be worthy of the bluestone prime minister. Even if it is an alley paved with bluestone slabs, it has no meaning.

Bai Zhen'er continued to speak: "I don't know if the clan prince has heard of the case of Qin Tianjian in the palace four years ago? ”

The old man spoke: "I've heard of it, isn't it just a matter of a group of cultivators?" ”

"That's pretty much it. The clan prince may not know that at that time, I was the escort of the county lord in the palace, but I had seen the handling of the case at that time. I have also been to the East Factory and seen the ability of the people in the East Factory to handle cases. ”

"What do you mean?" At this time, the old man finally turned around, and he looked at Bai Zhen'er with a torch in his eyes, his eyes sharp and unkind.

Bai Zhen'er lowered her eyelids slightly, and then said: "At that time, whether it was a prince or noble, or a high-ranking minister, or a harem concubine, or even the people of Limin, they were afraid that the people from Dongchang would appear in front of them. There is nothing that Dongchang doesn't know, and all this is not a question of whether he knows or not, but whether he wants to know or not. ”

What does that mean? It's just that the consciousness of imperial power has increased, so it has no meaning for the people's national governance. ”

"Yes, as the clan said. I believe that the clan should know what I want to say, the world is so big, it is not loess. ”

The old man glanced at Bai Zhen'er again at this time, he squinted his eyes and said, "It's just standing in line, it's not as serious as you said." ”

"Is it just taking sides?" Bai Zhen'er raised her head and looked at the wise old man, she received a letter of peace of mind, this Bai family has a very close relationship with the Chamber of Commerce, including many declining clans. In addition, Bai Zhen'er knew that the Chamber of Commerce was established by the people of Wind Castle, so what these people were planning was naturally a matter of sight.

Wind Fort is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and the Chamber of Commerce is a place of protection and concentration of power. Regardless of whether the Bai family really followed King Qin or not, if not, then there is only one possibility behind it, that is, the Chamber of Commerce is manipulating these people and secretly using the party and government to grasp the direction of the court.

She doesn't know how many people are infiltrated by the Chamber of Commerce in this court now, but she knows one thing, An is Bai family in the capital will definitely not be implicated. If this step is wrong, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely abandon the car to protect the handsome, and the Bai family cannot be implicated.

Bai Zhen'er only revealed to Mrs. Bai that her family was so flamboyant in standing in line and forming a gang, and in the end, it would be noticed by the people in Dongchang. Didn't say anything deeper behind this.

The old man looked at Bai Zhen'er for a while at this time, and he actually laughed, "Hahaha, there is such a person in my Bai family, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Bai Zhen'er knew what the old man was talking about as a pity, it was nothing more than a pity that she was a daughter.

"It seems that the clan lord understands?"

"What if you understand, what if you don't?" The old man looked at the sky on the outer wall, and the vicissitudes of life in his eyes were heavy and desolate. (To be continued......)
