The hallucination passed, and when I looked at the opposite side again, there was only a dilapidated house left, and it didn't look like someone lived there, but because the front was empty, there were a lot of pickles, rows and rows, and it looked like kelp from a distance.

Ye Qingqing calmed down, turned around and continued to follow Teacher Ai and Ayou, walking silently.

She was actually a little bored in her heart, why? She didn't kill people, she didn't write the story, and none of them were related to her, so why did this thing follow her like a maggot on the tarsal bones, wrapping around her in all sorts of unbelievable ways?

Does she owe anyone and she deserves it? She's not that old, so she shouldn't have such a complicated background.

Ye Qingqing muttered in her heart, she finally arrived at the visitor center at the north entrance of the town, and before she arrived, she saw someone greet her, it was Wang Meilan who called her to get up in the morning.

The little girl was dressed in a white shirt and jeans, and she looked quite round, which was a rare body type in this town in the past.

"You're here." She welcomed them into the visitor center, "You said you want to see the township chronicles, I have contacted the curator to prepare, but our visitor center is also a scenic spot, do you want to visit it together?" ”

"Okay, let's go." Teacher Ai made a decisive decision.

"Then please come this way, and I'll introduce you to the history of our Shori Town by the way." Wang Meilan put her hands at the end, immediately made a tour guide posture, showed a professional smile, and said briskly, "Our Wang family in Zhaoli Town, it is said that it originated from Wang Zhaojun's branch at the earliest. ”

"Wang Zhaojun......" Teacher Ai sighed with a smile, "Go on." ”

"For more than a thousand years, the fate of the family has had ups and downs. Until the Ming Dynasty, in order to avoid the war, our branch migrated here, at that time led the patriarch of the family in Feng Shui has made great achievements, he took the clan through thousands of difficulties and dangers, accidentally saw this valley, very liked, called it has the posture of the tiger, has the momentum of the dragon plate, set the essence of the landscape, the aura of the heaven and earth. Like the first fief that the Han Emperor gave to his ancestors after Ji Zhaojun came out of the fortress, our ancestors made their fortunes in such a place and gradually became a big family that lasted for thousands of years. ”

"The patriarch hopes that our clan can regain its glory in this place. So we settled here, and the first place that the patriarch saw at that time was to build this City God Temple. As you all know, Lord Chenghuang is the patron saint of the city, and we move here, of course, we hope to be here for a long time, safe and secure. In fact, the history of our Zhaoli Town for more than 400 years has indeed been protected by the city god, and the wind and rain are smooth, and there are no major disasters, which is also a very fortunate thing. ”

"So why is it now a visitor center?" Ayu asked.

"Tsk, listen to someone." Teacher Ai reprimanded him.

"Oh oh, you go on, you go on!" Ayou frowned and retreated to Ye Qingqing's side.

Wang Meilan continued to smile professionally: "Unfortunately, during the special period of ten years, the City God Temple, together with the Wang Family Ancestral Shrine that we may go to this afternoon, has been ruthlessly damaged, and once became a forbidden area that no one in the town dared to go to. Later, through the efforts of the head of the Wang family at that time, it was transformed into the first modern school in the town, and the ancestral temple became the first modern hospital in the town. ”

"The patriarchs are quite capable," Teacher Ai suddenly said, but his expression didn't look like a compliment.

Wang Meilan smiled more sincerely: "According to the previous clan system, the patriarch is the most capable and considerate person for the sake of the clan, after all, he wants to lead the entire family forward." Although I don't talk about this set now, the influence of the patriarch's family is still very great, but it is more down-to-earth than in the past, everyone is equal, and they can talk about family things together. ”

"In this way, in your town, the clan power is still quite large." Teacher Ai said again.

"This ...... You can't say that," Wang Meilan was a little embarrassed, "In the end, it is a society ruled by law, if you want to say that we are powerful, you can only say that we have a large number of people." After all, the vast majority of people here are surnamed Wang, pulling out radishes and bringing out the mud, they are all relatives, and they may have a close relationship when they take care of each other, but this is no way, human nature. ”

In a society governed by the rule of law, you have the face to say this.

Ye Qingqing, who had just come from the end of the "special period", was very angry in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "When it is not a society under the rule of law, wouldn't it be miserable for those with foreign surnames?" ”

These words were a little hostile, Ye Qingqing regretted it after speaking, and hurriedly said: "Oh, I didn't mean that either, I just suddenly thought of ......"

The embarrassment on Wang Meilan's face eased a little, and she smiled reluctantly: "No, it's nothing, cough." ”

Teacher Ai glanced at Ye Qingqing, and suddenly said, "That's right, then what if during the special period, if your Wang surname conflicts with people with foreign surnames?" Is it the mayor of the town, or is it the patriarch? ”

"This, I don't know......" Wang Meilan was a little at a loss, in fact, these questions were already a little too deep, and there was no need for them to ask these questions, but this girl was honest, and she didn't think of bringing a topic at this time, but thought about it for a while, "I think, probably, let's discuss it." ”

yes, it's honest. The mayor of the town and the patriarch discussed, isn't this a typical manifestation of the excessive power of the clan, it sounds like the divine authority of the king.

Ye Qingqing suddenly had an idea and said, "For example, the public trial conference? ”

Wang Meilan: "Huh? ”

Ye Qingqing: "Forget it, you didn't say it to me." The latest chapter of "Dare to Ask Where to Go Claw Bookstore" is free to read for the first time.
