In the end, everyone in the Accord turned their attention to Xu Feng, wanting to see how he would choose.

Should I be like everyone else, or should I draw a clear line with everyone?

Xu Feng coughed dryly and glanced at everyone present. His face became increasingly ugly. No one knew what he was thinking at this time.

It was very quiet in the Accord. It was not until his eyes fell on the steward of Qinghua Pavilion that Xu Feng's eyes changed. "You are all stewards of Xu Mansion, and now you want to work with outsiders to seize my Xu Mansion's property? It's a shame.

!ridiculous!"

"The Xu Mansion has been standing on Jiangnan Road for many years, and you want to overthrow it just because of some of your managers? Do you want me to be as greedy for Baifang Pavilion's money as you are? It's just a dream!"

"Don't forget your identity. You are all just slaves of the Xu family! If the Xu family wants you to live, you will live. If the Xu family wants you to die, you will die!"

"Bang~"

The steward of Qinghua Pavilion slapped his fat palm on the table, snorted heavily, and stared at Xu Feng with warning eyes.

"Master Feng, it is true that we are slaves of the Xu family, but don't forget that there are people behind us!"

No longer staying, the steward of Qinghua Pavilion left angrily.

At the same time, at least half of the stewards in the Accord also left the table, intending to completely fall out with the Xu family.

The Xu family has secret accounts in the hands of the stewards of many industries in Guangling City. If they don't hand it over, they might still be able to survive. Once they hand it over, not only will their lives be in danger, but their parents, wives, and children will also be affected.

"I still advise you to tell the truth truthfully and don't think you can escape. No matter who is standing behind you, don't take chances."

Xu Feng's calm tone made everyone who came to the door of the Accord stop in their tracks.

Everyone doesn't understand why Xu Feng is so confident.

As for Xu Feng, he saw that red light with his own eyes, and the dozen or so strong servants at the Yimen died on the spot. Later he learned that those people were the Yin Yang Sect's thieves lurking in the Xu Mansion.

Seeing Xu Feng's calm expression, the steward of Qinghua Pavilion frowned slightly. He really couldn't understand what the current Xu family had. In the end, he didn't speak again, but flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Behind him were many stewards from Guangling City.

Xu Feng walked slowly to the round table, pulled out a chair, sat down solemnly, and looked at the only three stewards present.

These three people were the stewards who supplied grain, fish, meat, fruits, vegetables, and salt to Baifang Pavilion. It was not that they did not want to leave, but that they were deeply tied to the Xu family.

"Steward Wang, why don't you go back and make preparations? Are you really planning to be sent to the government office by someone sent by Xu Mansion?" Xu Feng turned his head slightly and looked at the steward of Baifang Pavilion who had been sitting in the corner.

Manager Wang said sadly, "As long as I hand over all my family property, Master Fan will spare me and my two sons?"

At this time, Manager Wang had lost the courage to fight once, and his energy was also flagging.

He originally thought that he could be rescued by asking the major officials in Guangling City to unite. Unexpectedly, Xu Feng had no intention of interceding at all.

They, the stewards, had previously thought about finding a killer and sneaking into the Xu Mansion, but they were really frightened by the fire last night.

"I can't decide whether I can save you and your son's lives now. At least you did what you should do, and the two masters will definitely see it."

Manager Wang didn't know whether Xu Feng's words meant his own or those of the two masters of the Xu family.

At this point, I can only take a gamble.

Looking back on the past, as the steward of Baifang Pavilion, he was so glorious, thinking that all this was his own ability.

Now it seems so ridiculous that with one word from Xu Mansion, everything about him will be taken back.

As for whether he and his sons' lives can be saved, that depends on other people's wishes.

Manager Wang stood up slumped, left the Yage in a flash, and walked on the verandah of Baifang Pavilion. From time to time, he would meet wealthy guests from the city who greeted him.

But he only left an extremely lost figure.

"I will personally check the accounts of Baifang Pavilion again. As for yours, you must also do your best. Don't make any oversights." After explaining the matter, Xu Feng quickly left Baifang Pavilion and headed towards the Xu Mansion.

On the afternoon of this day, the Xu Mansion sent dozens of accountants, followed by nearly a hundred servants, to every property of the Xu Mansion in Guangling City.

The audit officially begins from this moment.

In just one afternoon, most of the stewards who had threatened Xu Feng in Baifang Pavilion were sent directly to Guangling Mansion Prison on charges of embezzling Mo's family property.

The Xu family threw a huge hot potato to Wang Wenhua, the prefect of Guangling.

In less than two hours, more than a dozen stewards of the Xu Mansion were sent to the government office.

Wang Wenhua was so angry that he threw the gavel in the hall and said, "Lock them up, lock them all up!"

The Xu Mansion conducted a large-scale thorough investigation of its industries, which shocked almost all walks of life in Guangling City.

The head of the family has recently died. It would be unwise for the new head of the family to attack the officials in the mansion before he takes power. Many wealthy officials in the city are secretly laughing at the Xu family for being manipulated by a child.

On the other side, the Xu Mansion sent many servants to raid wine shops across the city, sweeping away all kinds of fine wine in the city, and even the newly brewed Lihuabai was carried away.

Two strange scenes appeared in Guangling City. One was the accountant of the Xu Mansion and his servants who were going to various places in the city to check the accounts, and the other was a convoy of wine shops transporting fine wine to the Xu Mansion from various wine shops in the city.

In the Wave Courtyard, in the Flower Hall and Study Room.

Xu Fan sat cross-legged in the hall, letting the faint energy in his palm hit the meridians in his body. Sweat dripped from his forehead and wet his front.

This body is indeed a dandy's constitution. Even after staying in Xujiazhuang for three years, it is still useless.

It wasn't until night fell that Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes, took a breath of turbid air, and felt that the meridians and muscles of his body had undergone some changes, becoming stronger.

"Zi'er, prepare hot water for me."

"Okay, Master. The hot water is ready."

Zi'er, who had been waiting outside the flower hall, heard the young master's voice and responded happily.

The door of the flower hall opened with a creak. Seeing the sweat stains on his young master's forehead and the robe on his body, Zi'er looked shocked and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just stretched my muscles."

"Move your muscles and bones?" Zi'er looked at the sweat stains on Xu Fan's front with a look of disbelief in her eyes.

"Okay, let's go."

The young master has already given instructions, so Zi'er doesn't have much time to ask.

When they came to the side hall, Zi'er still wanted to wait for the young master to take a bath. However, Xu Fan left him outside the door, with a trace of loneliness flashing in his eyes.

Could it be that the young master dislikes me?

Xu Fan didn't notice the complicated look in Zi'er's eyes, and went directly into the side hall, took off his robe, and soaked comfortably in the bathtub. The hot water temperature was suitable.

Before his rebirth, Xu Fan had always practiced alone and lived alone. He had no need for others to take care of him.

Leaning back in the tub, the water steam is evaporating.

Xu Fan stared quietly at the hot water in front of him. He slowly turned his right index finger, and a subtle water line formed on the water surface, gradually turning into a water sword the size of a finger.

The water sword slowly takes shape from the tip to the sword body.

The energy in Xu Fan's body was rapidly depleted, and the sweat on his forehead mixed with the hot water, making it impossible to tell whether it was water or sweat.

Time passed little by little, and after a cup of tea, the blade of the water sword slowly took shape. Looking at the hilt that could already be seen vaguely, Xu Fan frowned, and his fingertips rotated faster and faster in the water.

Trembling.

"Bang~"

Just before the hilt was about to take shape, the water sword suddenly exploded, causing a large splash of water.

Xu Fan leaned slumped against the tub, his arms hanging down on the water, with a look of helplessness on his face.

In his previous life, he could have easily mastered this most common water sword, but now, after spending all his energy for nearly half an hour, he finally failed.

When Xu Fan walked out of the side hall, Zi'er took a satisfied look at Xu Fan, who was wearing a brand new brocade robe.

However, when she saw that the young master's face was a little pale, the happy smile that had just appeared on his face froze in fear.

"Master, Master, what are you doing? Do you want me to treat you..."

Before he could finish saying the word "doctor," Xu Fan waved his hand and said, "No, just have a few more sips of wine."

Before Zi'er could stop him, Xu Fan took off the old gourd from his waist and drank several sips in succession. Some wine stains even flowed down his lips to his chin and dripped on the verandah floor.

"Master, it's time to eat."

Zi'er was helpless, she was just a maid and could only advise. She was not qualified to ask the young master to do anything.

"good."

.....

Wave Court, water pavilion on the first floor.

More than ten dishes including crystal meat, cabbage in broth, emerald tofu, roasted chicken, crab roe soup dumplings, stir-fried broccoli, rice stuffed seabass, etc. were slowly placed on the table.

Looking at a table of sumptuous dishes, Xu Fan looked a little dazed. He had not seen such familiar dishes for a long time.

Sitting at the dining table, Xu Fan first picked up a white porcelain wine glass and poured a cup of pear blossom white from an old gourd, then picked up bamboo chopsticks and tasted it slowly.

After eating several mouthfuls in a row, I realized that Zi'er was still waiting quietly aside.

"Zi'er, it's just you and me here. I won't have so many rules here from now on. Sit down and eat together."

Looking at her young master's eating appearance, Zi'er's eyes turned red, and crystal tears overflowed from her eyes, "How long has it been since you had a good meal, young master?"

Zi'er turned her head away, wiped away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes with a brocade handkerchief, and hurriedly stopped and swallowed.

"Zi'er, what's wrong with you? It's just a meal, what's the point of being sad!" Xu Fan's voice became a little heavier, he gently put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, and said with some displeasure.

Zi'er's voice was trembling, and she slowly sat next to Xu Fan. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, and she said, "Master, you have suffered a lot in the past three years."

In sadness, Zi'er picked up the bamboo chopsticks with her slender green onion-like fingers, held the dishes and handed them to the white porcelain bowl in front of Xu Fan.

Only at this moment did Xu Fan react.

It's just that she hasn't tasted these dishes for a long time. Her previous behavior made Zi'er misunderstand that she was bullied in Xujiazhuang.

"Haha", Xu Fan laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to scratch the hair on Zi'er's forehead, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, I just miss the food in the house. You eat too, you don't have to just pick up the vegetables. The young master has good hands.

It’s here.”

Xu Fan turned the bamboo chopsticks between his fingers. The two bamboo chopsticks rotated in different directions, drawing two beautiful bamboo flowers between Xu Fan's fingers, without affecting each other at all.

Zi'er, who was standing aside, opened her mouth in shock and looked at this scene in surprise.
