The clan of the Chu family in Yangdi is located in Maqun Street. It is said that Sun Wu first set up a horse farm here, hence the name.
Compared with the Cheng Clan Land, the sacred capital composed of layers of pavilions and pavilions, although the interior of the Chu Clan in Yangdi is similar, there are still differences in the decorative details:
The former likes to decorate the reception hall with long swords and axes, symbolizing the kinetic energy of the iron shot. The latter is a variety of metal crystals, placed in high stools or decorative cabinets, which look like
It’s like a museum of minerals.

"What is this?" Xing Yunzhi looked at the yellow crystal in the glass cabinet. The sparkling luster is naturally attractive to women.
"Gem-level pure siderite." Chu Qingqing replied, "It's beautiful, right? It's almost impossible to find a single crystal with such a perfect stacking structure in nature. We can only create it with our metal manipulation powers."
Xing Yuanzhi didn't say anything, but her expression showed a bit of fondness.
"If you like it, Yuan Zhi, I can make one for you after this mission." Chu Qingqing said with a smile, "A gem of this size will take about three days."
"How embarrassing..." Xing Yunzhi said politely.
"It's okay." Chu Qingqing showed a charming smile, "Although it is a very expensive rare mineral outside, for the Yangdi Chu family, it is just a product of our ability practice. Generally, we will only give it to the hand.
A good nobleman, as a symbol of friendship."
Cheng Jinyang was looking around with his hands behind his back, and Chu Qingqing came over and asked:
"Brother Jinyang, do you have any gems you like more? I can make them for you too."
"What is this?" Cheng Jinyang picked up a transparent bead on the table next to him and asked.
"This." Chu Qingqing was silent for a moment, "It's a glass bead. Maybe it was left behind by the children in the clan playing marbles..."
"Can it be done?" Cheng Jinyang asked casually.
"……cannot."
"Glass beads do not contain metal components." Xing Yunzhi reminded in a low voice next to him.
"That's right." Cheng Jinyang nodded, "If it's not metal, there's nothing we can do about it."
Chu Qingqing:………………
Although what he said was correct and the other party's tone was not malicious, why did he feel a subtle feeling of being looked down upon?
"By the way, let me make you a flying sword!" She smiled again, "Don't Cheng's gravitational force like to use flying swords?"
"Well, thank you Miss Qingqing for your kindness." Cheng Jinyang politely thanked him.
The three of them walked through the reception hall and arrived at Mr. Chu's living room.
"My father and brother are not in the clan today, so I will briefly introduce the situation." Chu Qingqing spread out the paper on the coffee table, picked up a pen, and sketched a pedigree chart on the paper:
"The current patriarch of the family is my father."
She wrote the word "Chu" on the paper, and marked "my father" next to it, and next to it she wrote the word "xie" and marked "my mother".
"My mother is a member of the Xie clan in Fufeng. There is absolutely no possibility of any suspicion between these two people. Because my father is the clan leader and has the final say on family affairs. If you want to lead the clan to switch to Wuchang, there is no need to use such devious methods."
Then, she wrote two names below her father.
"The eldest brother, Chu You'an, is currently the regular servant of Sanqi and is responsible for scientific and educational affairs within the clan. The second brother, Chu Xifu, is not good at practical work and is just wandering around and talking."
Sanqi Changshi, translated as "Emperor's Advisor", was a false title in this era, used to gild the children of aristocratic families, similar to the "Office Director", "Minister of Corporate Culture Department" and so on in modern state-owned enterprises.
Chu Qingqing's eldest brother had a false title in order to pave the way for his succession to the title of nobility. His actual job was to be responsible for scientific and educational affairs within the clan. In other words, he was almost like cousin Cheng Yuexian's position in the Cheng family of the divine capital.
Considering that such matters are usually relatively leisurely, rarely leave the clan area, and do not involve political affairs, the eldest brother's suspicion is relatively small.
As for the second brother, the so-called "not good at practical work" and "just talking", that is, "doesn't have a job" and "goes online every day to brag in aristocratic circles" means that the possibility of being stamped has greatly increased.
.
Cheng Jinyang was thoughtful when he saw Chu Qingqing marking his name next to his two brothers.
"I don't need to introduce myself for now, right? In fact, my family is the most suspect because my parents and two brothers and I are not related by blood."
She spoke calmly and pulled back her hair that fell to her forehead: "Although I have no memory of betraying my family at all, there is still the possibility of being secretly imprinted with thoughts. If you want to conduct follow-up investigation and analysis, please contact me.
Be sure to take my information into consideration as well.”
Cheng Jinyang and Xing Yunzhi looked at each other and said nothing.
"Excluding the branches of my family, there is the uncle's family. The current daily family affairs are basically with them, including metal mining, smelting, processing and other production and business activities."
Chu Qingqing wrote the word "Chu" next to his father, marking it as "uncle".
"Although it's hard to say this, considering the responsibility of the metallic hydrogen factory, the uncle's suspicion is still greater."
Cheng Jinyang nodded, indicating that he completely understood what she meant.
In this era, there is often a clear division of labor among family members.
For example, in the Cheng family of Shendu, the clan leader Cheng Qingxin and his family are involved in politics, the second clan elder Cheng Qingyuan and his clan are in charge of scientific research, and the third clan elder Cheng Qingping and his clan are responsible for running clan affairs, that is, the military employment business of the Tianluo department.
So if something went wrong in Tianluo, the elders of the three clans would definitely be the biggest suspects.
Metal smelting/processing is almost the daily family affairs of the Chu family in Yangzhai. The technical information for extracting and transporting metallic hydrogen is naturally in the hands of her uncles.
"Uncle Chu Mouyuan, a captain of the Cavalry School in Tunzhi, is responsible for the armor production line of the military industry. If he joins Wuchang, I am afraid that the entire Shenwu Army's vehicles will have to be overhauled." Chu Qingqing said with a smile, "So, I don't think so.
He is highly suspicious."
"Cousin Chu Xisheng works in Yuzhang County and is also in charge of the family's mineral smelting and mining work there. He just returned to Jiankang City last month and is looking for career change and promotion."
Chu Qingqing wrote her cousin's name below her uncle, and then drew a few circles.
Well, it means "key suspect". Cheng Jinyang understood instantly.
"There is also a cousin, Chu Debiao, who also came from a poor family. He joined us at about the same time as me and adopted the same name as my uncle."
Below Chu Qingqing's uncle's line, and to the right of his cousin Chu Xisheng, write the name "Chu Debiao" and put a circle on it.
"At present, like me, he spends his days filling in the basics of ethnic studies and is not involved in certain specific affairs."
Children from aristocratic families receive education in the theory of supernatural powers from the age of 6. As for the children from poor families who later joined the family, they are definitely deficient in this aspect, so they have to spend a lot of money after returning to the family.
Extra time to make up the base.
The later you join the family, the more knowledge base you have left behind, and the more time you need to make up for it. Basically, you can’t even think about leaving the ethnic studies class in the first few years.
As for Cheng Jinyang, a perverted guy who showed rare talent in a certain area after not studying ethnology for a long time, and was admitted to the family department under special circumstances, that is outside the scope of the theory and is not the norm for children from poor families.
The three of them looked carefully at the pedigree chart in Chu Qingqing's hand.
In other words, those who have the possibility of becoming moles are the lineage of uncle Chu Mouyuan (especially his two cousins), and the lineage of patriarch Chu Jiye (two brothers of Chu Qingqing).
"Since you are more suspicious of your uncle, let's start with your two cousins."
Cheng Jinyang thought and said.
"No, let's start with my two brothers first." Chu Qingqing said with a smile.
