The Yin and Yang Gate has been established in Jiangnan Road for many years, and Xu Mansion not only hid Mrs. Wang's brothers and sisters, but also other people hiding in the dark.

Since Mrs. Wang married into the Xu family, the Yin and Yang Sect has accelerated its layout, with the purpose of seizing the Xu family's property in Jiangnan.

In the past three years, the Yin-Yang Sect has hidden countless behind-the-scenes secrets in the Xu family.

Xu Fan tied the old gourd around his waist and rubbed it gently with his right hand for a moment. Looking at the new crack where his finger rubbed it, he felt a little heartbroken.

After a moment of sadness, he walked out of the mourning hall.

At this moment, dozens of strong men wearing Xu Mansion's retinues poured into the main hall where the mourning hall was located from the verandah, rockery, side courtyard, ceremonial gate and other places.

Previously, the Yin Yang Sect disciples who were waiting outside the main hall of the mourning hall were dismissed by Mrs. Wang and the Qinghui man.

But the roar of the Qi machines in the mourning hall still alarmed the entire Xu family.

The real servants of the Xu Mansion, the servants and maids, were shouted back by this group of strong men who suddenly appeared, and hid in the corner shivering.

Xu Fan slowly walked out of the mourning hall and glanced indifferently at the Yin Yang Sect disciples who were rushing towards him.

He slashed with his right hand and hit the arm of the Yin-Yang Sect disciple who was rushing forward hard with his palm knife.

"Creak"!

The sound of broken bones was heard! Then came the miserable howl of the Yin Yang Sect disciple.

A heavy cold sweat dripped down my forehead!

Before the Yin Yang Sect disciple could dodge, Xu Fan took a step forward and lightly stepped on the knee joint of the opponent's right leg with his right foot, and there was another "click"!

All the arms and legs were broken, and the pain caused the Yin Yang Sect disciple to curl up and lie down, tearing and wailing.

Xu Fan was strolling leisurely in the courtyard. The Yin-Yang Sect disciples who rushed towards him fell to the ground one after another.

In less than half a cup of tea, more than ten people were lying on the rockery, in the flower garden, and under the verandah in the courtyard.

Looking at the young man stepping on the knee of a Yin-Yang Sect disciple in the courtyard, he took a sip of pear blossom white with unconcealed murderous intent in his eyes.

The seven or eight Yin Yang Sect disciples who retreated to the Yi Sect had fear in their eyes.

One of the leading Yin Yang Sect disciples shouted, "Retreat!"

The remaining people no longer hesitated and fled. No one paid any more attention to their fellow disciples who kept screaming miserably on the ground.

"Want to leave?"

Xu Fan spit out the breath of alcohol and said coldly with an attitude of contempt for the many Yin Yang Sect disciples present who were howling miserably.

The next moment, a golden red light flew out from his hand.

Penetrating the gap between the rockeries, he rushed straight towards the Yimen. The Yin-Yang Sect disciples who had already retreated dozens of steps outside the Yimen simultaneously felt a frightening strong wind coming from their backs.

"spread!"

As soon as the word "escape" was spoken, the golden red light penetrated the backs of the seven or eight Yin Yang Sect disciples irregularly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

Less than a hundred steps after escaping from the Yimen, the Yin-Yang Sect disciples all fell face to face on the ground. Until death came, they could not believe that the one who killed them was actually a wine gourd.

Xu Fan looked around and glanced at the people lying on the ground still wailing one by one. He said calmly outside the Yimen, "Lock the door of the house and no one is allowed to go out. Go to the two clan elders Xu Ji and Xu Xiang."

There were corpses on the ground and miserable screams in the courtyard. No one dared to disobey Xu Fan's order.

Without the disciples of the Yin and Yang Sect in charge of the ground, Xu Fan returned to the mourning hall, his eyes fell on his nominal aunt again, blinked at the pink and jade-shaped sister in her arms, and revealed a look that looked like...

A gentle smile.

Not paying attention to the look of horror on Mrs. Wang's face, Xu Fan picked up his sister and sat down again in the only chair on the left side. He asked with a low smile, "Do you miss my brother?"

"Yes, yeah..."

Xu Fan gently scratched his sister's little hand with his right hand, causing her to chuckle.

"Good sister, let my brother take care of you from now on."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Wang, who had not yet come to her senses, her pretty face suddenly lost its luster and her cheeks turned pale.

She thought that Xu Fan would save her life, but Mrs. Wang turned her head, her apricot eyes lost their former sparkle and brightness, leaving only a trace of reluctance.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m reluctant to die, or because I’m reluctant to let go of my daughter.

Seeing two old men from the Xu family walking cautiously from the courtyard, Mrs. Wang stood up slumped, her voice a little hoarse, "Good girl, my mother and I are going to rest first."

Xu Fan did not stop her, and handed the sister in his arms into the hands of Mrs. Wang, watching her lifeless figure disappear into the side hall.

Xu Ji and Xu Xiang are both over fifty, and are a head taller than Xu Fan's father. They are the elders of the Xu family.

Because he is the elder of a branch of the Xu family, he has long stopped interfering in family affairs.

Precisely because they stopped interfering with Xu Mansion's affairs early on, they were able to escape the Yin-Yang Gate disaster. The two old men were also startled when they first entered the courtyard.

The Yin Yang Sect disciples who fell on the ground in the courtyard pretended to howl for a while and then stopped.

Without Xu Fan's instructions, the remaining servants of Xu Mansion would not dare to make their own decisions.

Xu Ji and Xu Xiang have always been cautious. The moment they entered the mourning hall, they were even more frightened by the sight in front of them.

In the main hall, except for the coffin and the chair where Xu Fan sat, which were still intact, everything else was in a mess. The two of them even saw a corpse and a large amount of blood.

The two of them also knew the corpse. It was a man who often appeared next to Mrs. Wang in recent years.

At this moment, when they saw the man's body, Xu Ji and Xu Xiang both looked excited.

"Brother Fan, this..." Xu Xiang's voice was still trembling. Since entering the courtyard, he saw two groups of corpses one after another, which really frightened him.

"Come here, bring two chairs to the two gentlemen."

Soon, people from the Xu family brought two chairs. In the mourning hall, two corpses were lying beside them. In front of Xu Fan, two old men from the Xu family who were over fifty years old were sitting in front of Xu Fan.

"I believe the two masters also know something about the current situation in the Xu family." Xu Fan raised his chin, pointed at the corpse between the two sides, and continued. "He is a member of the Yin Yang Sect, and those people in the courtyard are also Yin Yang.

Someone from the sect. By the way, there is also Mrs. Wang, that is my aunt, she is also an undercover agent sent by the Yin and Yang sect to my father's side."

"Ah! What's going on?"

The two old men, Xu Ji and Xu Xiang, had wrinkles on their faces and a look of horror in their eyes.

Obviously, I was shocked by this news.

Although the two of them didn't know what the Yin and Yang Sect was, they were able to infiltrate the Xu Mansion into what it is now, and almost took away Xu Fan's stewardship.

After living for half a hundred years, Xu Ji and Xu Xiang would have become human spirits long ago, otherwise they would not be alive today.

"Both grandpas are old men in our Xu Mansion. Now the Xu Mansion is in a state of turmoil. My father is dead and there are strong men outside who are coveting him." Xu Fan scratched his forehead, looking helpless, and let out a long sigh.

"So, I invite you two masters to come and make the decision for me."

"this..."

Xu Ji and Xu Xiang looked at each other, a hint of panic flashed deep in their cloudy old eyes.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fan, who had been imprisoned for three years, would do such a big thing just after he came out of Xujiazhuang.

The two of them did not dare to hesitate. After just looking at each other for a moment, they understood what the other was thinking. At the same time, they smiled bitterly at Xu Fan in front of them.

You have to refuse, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.

Xu Ji coughed slightly and raised his right hand, signaling Xu Xiang to speak.

"Brother Fan, you are the direct son of our Xu family, so the Xu family naturally has to make your own decisions."

"Bang~bang~bang~"

In the huge Xu Mansion, the main entrance, side door, corner door and other small doors for passing miscellaneous items were all closed.

This abnormal behavior attracted the attention of all forces in Guangling City. Wang Wenhua, the prefect of Guangling, even sent his master to the Xu Mansion in person.

As a result, I was told that it was Master Xu Fufan who gave the order and that I could not comment on anything else.

The master of the government office could only sit in a private room of a teahouse not far from Xu's house and rest, waiting for the reactions of other parties.

The Xu family controls the lifeline of salt affairs in Jiangnan Province. This line involves all the princes of the country, vassal kings from all over the country, not to mention fourth-grade local high-ranking officials like Guangling Prefect.

As the door of Xu's mansion was closed tightly, he refused to thank the guests.

Suddenly, the waves and clouds in Guangling City were strange.

After all, it was only the head of the Xu family who died.

Unlike the tense atmosphere in Guangling City, there was silence in the Xu Mansion.

After Xu Ji and Xu Xiang left the mourning hall, they ordered their men to imprison those Yin and Yang disciples with broken arms and legs in the courtyard and subject them to severe torture.

If it were in the past, the Xu family would have asked the Guangling government office to take the person away directly.

Now, the Xu Mansion has decided to use lynching without authorization, just to eradicate all the spies hidden in the Xu Mansion.

Xu Fu East Road Courtyard, Bo Tao Courtyard.

A lake with blue waves and dots of green. In the center of the lake, in a three-story building, it was simple and quiet. Xu Fan, dressed in a brocade robe, bowed three times to the tablet in front of him.

Under the corridor outside the attic, a little maid in purple stood quietly outside the door. Her eyes were red and swollen, but she could not hide the joy in her heart.

It has been three years, and the young master finally returned home.

Madam also waited for the young master to offer incense himself.

Since the death of Xu Fan's mother, Botaoting has become a forbidden area in the mansion, precisely because this is the place where Xu Fan's mother lived before her death.

After a long time, the door of the attic opened. Xu Fan walked slowly to the guardrail of the verandah, looked around the island in the middle of the lake, and took a deep breath.

There were ripples in the clear lake water. There was silence for a long time. The little maid in purple endured for a long time and finally said, "Master, you are finally back."

Xu Fan turned sideways and looked up and down at the purple-clothed maid beside him. The maid next to him, who was as big as himself, was bought by his mother to accompany him.

Unfortunately, since Xu Fan was sent to Xujiazhuang outside Guangling City three years ago, the little maid has been left in Botaoting to take care of her mother's old residence.

"Zi'er, I'm back."

Looking at the beautiful face of the girl in front of him, Xu Fan's expression felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to his previous life. That was the memory of how long ago, the memory of his childhood.

It was the purple-clothed maid in front of him who accompanied him, and memories came to his mind bit by bit. The past memories of his mother accompanying him, and the dusty memories of Zi'er accompanying him to play on the island in the middle of the lake began to loosen.

After being speechless for a long time, Xu Fan came back to his senses at Zi'er's shy call. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a friendly smile.

"Zi'er, how have you been these past three years?"

Looking at the thin Zi'er, Xu Fan showed a look of concern, took half a step forward, stretched out his hand to rub Zi'er's hair, and spoke in a rare gentle tone.

"I, I." Zi'er raised her head and looked at the young man in brocade clothes who was a head taller than herself.

It was completely different from three years ago, and all the sadness in my heart turned into a cry at this time.

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry anymore. I'm back." Xu Fan muttered silently in his heart, "I'm really back. We're separated by millions of years."

The hair on Zi'er's forehead was completely messed up. Xu Fan chuckled lightly, "Zi'er will have to continue to take care of me in the future. We will live in Botaoting for the time being."

On the other side, in the Xu Mansion West Road Yard, there is a sundry yard of the Xu family with more than a dozen storage warehouses.

From time to time, a tragic and heart-rending howl could be heard from the warehouse.

If it were in the past, the disciples of the Yin and Yang Sect would not take ordinary servants like the Xu family in their eyes.

At this time, the arms and leg joints of the Yin Yang Sect disciples were completely broken.

Become a chopping block fish at the mercy of others.

Standing outside the door were more than a dozen tall, muscular men with round waists. They would tremble all over when they heard the screams.

Ever since Xu Fan entered the mansion, the Xu family has been transformed. All the servants and servants who used to boss around the mansion were arrested.

All the guards in the mansion were replaced by descendants from the side lineage, and there were even some servants who were vassal of the Xu family.

After nightfall, Xu Fan, accompanied by Zi'er, ate in the main hall on the first floor of Botaoting.

The sound of slight footsteps outside came from the verandah. Xu Ji, Xu Xiang and four young members of the Xu family were waiting on the veranda outside the side hall of Botaoting.

The expressions of the six people were extremely solemn. Although the four young disciples did not know why their grandfather brought them here, they followed them cautiously under their father's instructions.

Not long after, a maid dressed in purple appeared at the door of the side hall, it was Zi'er.

"Master, I would like to invite two grandpas."

Zi'er bowed slightly, gave up half of her body, and led the way.

Xu Ji and Xu Xiang held a thick stack of signed confessions in their hands, and the complex look in their eyes could not be dissipated for a long time.

The confessions in their hands involve the lives and fortunes of hundreds of people in the Xu family. As old people in the Xu family, they really can't imagine that so many people would betray the Xu family, including some collateral descendants.

"Grandpas, please sit down."

Xu Fan saw the two figures appearing at the entrance of the main hall, raised his head and pointed to the chair on the right.

"Thank you, Brother Fan."

Xu Ji and Xu Xiang cupped their hands. After sitting down, they handed the confession in their hands to Zi'er who had finished serving tea.

"These are all the names provided by the thieves. Many of them are major shopkeepers in Guangling City, and there are even some members of Xu's family."

The more Xu Ji talked, the angrier he became, and the veins on his forehead swelled.

"These thieves waste money on food and clothing for the Xu family. They actually collude with outsiders to seize the Xu family's ancestral property." Xu Xiang put down the tea cup he had just picked up and snorted heavily, with an angry look on his face.

After casually glancing at the confession, Xu Fan threw the list lightly onto the dining table. Looking at the unhappy looks on their faces, Xu Fan suddenly chuckled.

Both of them were puzzled as to why Xu Fan was laughing, and looked over with doubt in their eyes.

"You two gentlemen, there is no need to be angry, but you must know that anger will harm your health." Xu Fan gently tapped the armrest of the chair with his right hand, his eyes wandering away from the confession.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "These thieves broke into our Xu family and tried to seize our Xu family's ancestral property. They deserved to die. But after all, our Xu family is a prominent family in Jiangnan, so we handed over the thieves from the Yin and Yang Gate to the Guangling government office, also called the imperial court.

Know the evil deeds of Yin Yang Sect."

"Then..." Xu Xiang looked solemn and carefully looked at Xu Fan's expression. After a long time, he hesitated to ask.

"Don't worry, you two. The slaves on the list will be beaten to death immediately. The members of the Xu family are also named Xu after all." Xu Fan pulled out a list from the dining table, which was the list of thieves in the Xu family.

"Xu You, Xu Yu, Xu Shu, Xu Jun..."
