When Ning Ze came to the hall, he saw a group of men, women, and children wearing cloth clothes and patches all over their bodies waiting.

At the head of the group was an old man with silver hair, a snow-white beard and a vertical waist, who looked quite wise.

Ning Yuan, male, 68 years old

[Affiliation] Dacheng [Loyalty] 52

[Stamina] 63 [Brawn] 8

[Intelligence] 55 [Politics] 13

[Command] 30 [Rende] 61

[Class]——

[Stunt]——

Among the people, his attributes are good.

After all, the common people are different from the generals, most of them have very low attributes, and it would be good to have more than fifty. It is common for ordinary people to have no more than 10 points in various attributes.

A low intelligence value does not mean that you are a fool, and the six-digit attributes presented by the system are based on martial arts. 55 points of intelligence is quite rare in this era when the education level is very low and the people at the bottom are almost completely illiterate.

It's not a military general's template, and it's not easy to find such a high-intelligence existence among civilians.

Of course, this kind of experience belongs to the accumulation of time, after all, the old man is 68 years old. And he is not recognized by the system as a military general, which means that he cannot be an official.

It was the young man who followed the old man that surprised Ning Ze.

【General】Ning Yong, male, 22 years old

[Stamina] 97 [Force] 84

[Intelligence] 16 [Politics] 7

[Command] 15 [Benevolence] 56

Class: Infantry B

Stunt: Heads-up Lv2

84 points of force is a good third-rate general, although this guy's command is outrageously low, and there is only one class suitability, and it is also B-level, not suitable for leading troops to fight, and it belongs to the existence of a guard.

However, Ning Ze, who lacks talents, needs this kind of general.

Looking at the others, the attributes are all rubbish, and they can't be seen at all, so they just skip it.

After Ning Ze appeared, the old man immediately took the clansmen behind him, got up and saluted him respectfully: "Meet the lieutenant general of the Dianjun Army!"

"No courtesy!" Ning Ze waved his hand and looked directly at the old man without waiting for the other party to speak, "Why are you here, this official knows it in his heart." So don't beat around the bush, ask the patriarch to speak to my inner hall. Cherish Spring!"

Hearing Ning Ze's shout, Xichun's promise was immediately heard outside, and soon saw her pushing the door in and coming to Ning Ze: "What does the young master command?"

"Let food be arranged for the people to be served, so that they may be served. I have something to say to the inner hall with the patriarch, and no one is allowed to disturb me!"

"Yes!" Xichun immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare wine and food.

Ning Ze asked the old man to follow him to the inner hall.

The two came to the inner hall, and there were no outsiders to disturb them, Ning Ze invited the old man to sit down, and got straight to the point: "Your intentions, this official is quite clear. I'm not from the Fengqiu Ning clan, or even from Chengzhou! You wait to come and confess your relatives, but it's just clinging!"

The old man was not surprised, and arched his hand and said: "My lord's eyes are like torches! I have lived in Chengzhou for generations, but in fact, I left Fengqiu very early and moved to Litan County. In the whole Litan County, only our family surnamed Ning, heard that Ning Ze, the military advisor under the command of Princess Yuanxi, claimed to be from Fengqiu Village, Litan County, and knew that it was fake. This time I came to solve the problem of the identity of the military division. The old man didn't know why the adults called themselves Fengqiu Ning in Litan County, and they were not curious. As the adult said, the old man brought the clansmen here, just to cling to the lord! The old man even brought the family tree, and the adult's name can be directly written into the family tree and become a real member of the Ning family. And with your identity, the old man can rest assured that he will give up the position of patriarch. No matter what the identity of the adults was before and why they concealed it, from now on, there will only be Fengqiu Ningze. ”

"Give me the patriarch?" Ning Ze asked, "I'm just an outsider, why do I want to do this?"

"As long as you write your family tree, you are part of the family. The old man replied, "In fact, the people are very happy, and everyone agrees. Regardless of whether they knew each other before or not, as long as the adult nodded, the Fengqiu Ning clan would be an adult! The men, women, and children in the clan, as long as the adult gave an order, everything would obey!"

"You are just here to defect to the official and want to take advantage of the opportunity to change your fate, right?" Ning Ze said, "What kind of difficulties did you encounter?"

"I really can't hide it from my lord," replied the old man respectfully, "It seems that the rumors that your lord can do magic are true. ”

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"I'm waiting for the Climbing Lord, for the sake of the family. As long as the adults agree, there are nearly a thousand people in the Fengqiu Ning clan, all of whom are mainly adults, but they are driven!" The old man replied, "The adults are the head of the clan, and the Fengqiu Ning clan is in power. As the patriarch, he should take care of the clan, so that the whole clan can have no worries about food and clothing, and the children can study and practice martial arts, and benefit everyone. In addition, when there is injustice in the clan, the patriarch needs to come forward and seek justice for the clan. As long as the adults nod their heads, although there is no blood relationship, we are close relatives, life and death go hand in hand!"

"You are very bold," Ning Ze said with a smile, "It is the first time that someone has dared to come to the door to pretend to be a relative, and even say it so bluntly." ”

The old man replied: "There is only one of our family surnamed Ning in Litan County, so naturally no one else will come to the door to pretend." If it weren't for the desperation, the old man would not take a risk and gamble with his life. If you really want to anger your lord, there are nearly a thousand people up and down the Ning family, and their heads are not enough to cut off. ”

"Since you know, dare to come over?" Ning Ze narrowed his eyes.

"As the old man said, there is really no way out!"

"Tell me more about it, what's going on?"

"Your Excellency!" the old man said, "The Ning clan has no quarrel with people in Litan County, and lives an ordinary life. Recently, there are wealthy families who have secretly bought off the local government and are constantly embarrassed. The clansmen did some small business in the county town, and the government often sent people to make trouble, and even detained them on fabricated charges. Right now, my youngest son is still suffering in prison. The government also sent people to persecute continuously, asking the old decay to pay for ransom, and at the same time coercing the clansmen to sell their land. In addition, there are many ways to target Ning. I heard that it seems that there is a wealthy family behind the money and deliberately makes the government embarrassed the Ning family, in order to force the Ning family to sell all the fields and use up all the means. ”

"Fields?"

"Our Ning clan owns nearly one-third of the fields in Litan County, all of which were left by our ancestors!" the old man sighed, "The ancestors were the founding generals of the country, and they made great contributions to the establishment of the country, so they were rewarded." It's just that since Emperor Youdi succeeded to the throne, the Ning family has been suppressed, and he can't figure out who the wealthy family who stabbed him in the back is. Litan County issued an ultimatum that if the ransom was not paid after two months, the dog would be charged with killing his head, but there was no other way but to sell the ancestral land! In desperation, when I learned about the adult, I thought that the ancestral land must not be bought, so I wanted to gamble. Selling the land to ransom the other party may not fulfill the promise, first, to lose the land left by the ancestors, and secondly, the other party may fall into the ground, further deceive my Ning family, and may even make the Ning family disappear forever in Litan County. If you succeed in clinging to the Lord, you can fight back without fear of the other party! At the same time, you can also use the power of the Adult to rescue the people who plotted to kill my Ning clan behind the scenes. ”

"You're very honest!" Ning Ze nodded, "I like to deal with honest people. ”

He can verify whether the other party is telling the truth or a lie through personal attributes. Although there is no exhaustive description, each person's biography column has a brief description of some significant events.

What the old man said was not false, this Fengqiu Ning clan was indeed the descendant of the founding general of Dacheng, but more than three hundred years have passed, and not many people remember it at all. What's more, since Emperor Youdi succeeded to the throne, he has controlled public opinion, and many things have been hidden, including King Lingnan and Princess Yuanxi, which has almost forgotten the world.

"My lord assisted Princess Yuanxi to quell the chaos, which is no different from my Ning ancestor. The adults took over the Fengqiu Ning clan, presumably the ancestors would not object. The old man said.

"It's rumored outside, saying that I am a princess, and now I am forcibly marrying a princess, and I want to seize power by this!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "You are not afraid of being implicated and gaining infamy for eternity?"

The old man replied: "Who cares about this when their lives are gone? The black hand behind it wants to completely kill the Ning family, and we can only separate and fight!"

"Well said!" Ning Ze nodded, "In that case, the two of us are secretly trading. I get the identity, and the Ning family gets the benefits. It's just that if this matter is leaked......"

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured!" the old man raised three fingers, "The old man swears by the lives of more than 1,000 people in the Ning family, today's events can come out of my mouth and into your ears, if a third person knows, the Ning family will all die!"

The people of this era took vows very seriously. As long as they swear an oath, they will basically not break it, because they are very superstitious and believe that breaking the oath will be punished by heaven.

Ning Ze nodded and said to him: "Since it is mutually beneficial, this official has no reason to refuse. Just one thing that must be stated in advance!"

"Your Excellency, please speak!"

"The Ning clan is attached to this official, and it must completely obey the official's dispatch. The requirements of this official are extremely strict, if anyone acts in the name of this official and violates the law, even your own son will be immediately pardoned!"

"Don't worry, my lord!" the old man hurriedly replied, "The teachings of the ancestors, our Ning clan keep them in mind. The ancestor left his last words, the Ning clan learned etiquette and morality since childhood, and should not harm others. If it weren't for the desperation, the old decay would not have made such a decision and did this thing of clinging to the powerful!"

"In short, this statement is explained in advance, if any member of the Ning clan violates the laws established by this official in the future, I don't want this official to show mercy!"

"Yes! There really will be a day when there is no need for adults to do it, and the old man will personally deal with it according to the family rules!"

"Hmm~ Then there is another question," Ning Ze said, "If this official enters the family tree, how to arrange it?"

The old man replied, "You must be cautious as an adult, and your status must not be too low. The old man searched the family tree for a long time and found a good arrangement. The deceased seventh uncle is the former patriarch. The seventh uncle had a son in his old age, but unfortunately died young......"

"Gu Xi, it's very good!" Ning Ze was a little speechless.

The old man continued: "This matter has not been spread out, as long as it is slightly modified, the adults can take its place. The young son who died in infancy was not named, which saved a lot of trouble. ”

"Wait!" Ning Ze thought for a moment and looked at the old man a little strangely, "Wouldn't it be ...... to arrange me as your seventh uncle's son?"

"That's right, my lord is an old cousin, and he can rightfully take over the position of patriarch. Because the Ning family is now not only old, but also the highest level of adults. ”

"That's not what I'm talking about," Ning Ze scratched his face, "If you really want to arrange it like this, I'm only at this age, and I'm already the grandfather or even great-grandfather of the Ning clan?"

Think about the 22-year-old Ning Yong who wants to call himself grandfather, and even the forty or fifty-year-old Ning clan people who want to call themselves uncle, and the next generation has to call themselves great-grandfather, this is too exaggerated!

Your grandfather is 18 years old, it's really, isn't it?
