Chapter 1068: Inquiry
The supposedly short recruitment turned into an extremely long wait. When it was all over, the people dispersed back to their own home while Nan Luo asked the two youths to follow him to one side.“Jun Fang and Jun Shi Lian, right?” Nan Luo asked as he swept his gaze across the two of them.
“Yes!”
Jun Fang was 17 years old this year while Jun Shi Lian was only 14 years old. However, Jun Fang looked like he was a bit too big compared to his age. It seemed that he was the type to grow faster than other people.
“Let me introduce myself, I’m Nan Luo and I’ll be your commander when you enter the army later. For the next year, you two will participate in the training camp.” Nan Luo looked at the two of them with interest.
They will enter his army?
The two of them undoubtedly felt nervous when they were facing Nan Luo now. After all this person would be their commander.
“Before that, I would like to ask some things about Jun Family.” Nan Luo could see that the family members of Jun Fang were still waiting while the family members of Jun Shi Lian had already left. It seemed that the treatment of these two were contrasting each other.
“Yes?”
“Do you know Jun Liu Li?” Nan Luo asked.
Jun Liu Li?
The two of them held confused expression on their faces. Not long afterwards, Jun Fang’s eyes lit up. “That’s the name of my aunt if I’m not wrong. I’ve never met her because my father said that she and her family members left Han Zhui City a long time ago and settled in the Capital City.”
“Do you know the reason?”
Jun Fang scratched the back of his head. “If I’m not wrong there are some dispute between our grandfather and her father. The two of them are brothers, but they have disagreement about how the Jun Family should develop in Han Zhui City. Father often said that if they’re still here, the Jun Family might be different.”
Jun Shi Lian furrowed his eyebrows. “My father kept some of the old records. I have read some of them. It’s said that they’re disputing about some of the store and also the benefit that they could receive each year.”
“How did you manage to convince your father to let you read them?”
“I sneaked into his study.”
Jun Fang was speechless. He silently gave a thumbs up to Jun Shi Lian as this cousin of his was truly fearless.
Nan Luo nodded. “Thank you for answering my question. You can go back now to pack up. We’ll depart as soon as the recruitment is finished.”
“Yes!”
The two of them held confused expression when they saw Nan Luo walked away. They would be the biggest idiot in the entire world if they still didn’t understand that the real reason why he held them back was because he wanted to know about their aunt.
Did he have some relationship with Jun Liu Li?
However, the two of them didn’t dare to guess too much and then silently returned to their respective home. Jun Shi Lian naturally didn’t tell them about Jun Liu Li but only said that he felt their family affairs to be quite unique.
His father didn’t care as long as Jun Family didn’t offend that young commander.
Thus, Jun Shi Lian could happily pack up.
But it was different in Jun Fang’s house.
“Jun Liu Li?” Jun Fang’s father was stunned when he heard that name from his son. He looked at Jun Fang incredulously. “You’re saying that the young commander is asking on behalf of my cousin?”
Jun Fang nodded. He was a rather straightforward person and believed in his father. Because of that, he just told everything he knew to this father. Of course, it was only to his father and no one else.
“I think that he might have some connection to Aunt Liu Li. But I can’t say for sure what their connection is.” Jun Fang smiled bitterly.
Jun Fang’s father was silent and then he sighed. “I’ll go and have some talk with him tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
The recruitment was not done yet because Feng Ao Kuai had to match the name list and to make sure that everyone was already included. Not to mention, he had to copy them in order to give the report.
It was a bit annoying.
And Nan Luo was staring at the pile of bamboo scroll on his temporary table with resignation.

“How long will it take for me to finish copying all of them? And I have to copy them thrice!” Nan Luo wanted to cry.
One for the immediate commander, one for the general, and the last one was for the Capital City. The record was to make sure that there was no falseness within the record.
“You don’t have to do all of them on your own.” Nan Hua was sitting beside Nan Luo and calmly copied the list. For her, this was an easy task because writing was certainly not something that was extraordinarily difficult.
“Still…”
“Let Si Kang handle most of them.” Feng Ao Kuai was calm.
Si Kang: “…”
He was sure that he came here to help Feng Ao Kuai but not to be the one to do Feng Ao Kuai’s job. However, he merely sighed internally in his heart and continued his work in copying the list of names.
In any case, they couldn’t leave until they had finished this.
“Did you find anything about Jun Family, Nan?” Nan Luo asked curiously.
“I did.”
The official was very quick in presenting the record of the incident. Reading at the list, Nan Hua’s eyes flickered a few times. Everything could be summarized in one sentence:
Jun Family was really unlucky.
They tried to expand to many businesses but most of the new things they tried ended up failing so miserably that they lost so much money. Some of them were attacked midway by bandits and failed to survive. Some of them were attacked by the people because of their poor products.
In short, they were really not suitable to be a businessman.
Yet, the family still insisted on doing business.
It was no wonder that the family fell apart.
