The worry on Wen Hao's face was very sincere, but in his heart he was worried about Lu Baishan, Wen San and others.

If anything happens to Lu Baishan and Wen San, and they get involved with the Yin Yang Clan rebels, and in front of all the officials from the Guangling Mansion, the trouble will be too difficult.

Wen Hao's eyes slowly swept across Xu Ji, Xu Xiang, Xu Wenshu, Xu Yuhui and others in the main hall, observing the expressions on everyone's faces, but found nothing suspicious.

His subtle actions did not escape the corner of Xu Fan's eyes.

All the government officials who entered the main hall gathered around Xu Fan very attentively. Wang Wenhua, as the magistrate, personally greeted him on the soft couch and even ordered the officials behind him to immediately invite the best doctor in Guangling City.

Only Wen Hao turned his head slightly and looked at everyone in the Xu family in the hall with cautious eyes.

This was originally the place where Xu's mother lived, and the main hall was not big. After more than a dozen officials entered, it seemed quite crowded.

Wen Hao could clearly see the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Xu family.

As a direct descendant of the Wen family, Wen Hao met Wang Wenhua in Shenjing and became a staff master.

It was also with the secret help of the Wen family that Wang Wenhua passed the imperial examination without any obstacles.

Even if there were some strange behaviors at this time, Wang Wenhua didn't pay much attention.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang and all of you, for your concern. My body can still hold on." Xu Fan said in a weak voice.

After a big battle, Xu Fan's body was indeed very weak, and he was not pretending.

At this moment, he has noticed something strange about Mr. Wen. But now there is no evidence and he cannot prove it.

"Just hold on, the doctor will be here soon." The big stone in Wang Wenhua's heart finally stopped hanging and slowly fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was no accident in the Xu family's fire in the Xu family.

"Don't crowd in here, let Master Xu have a good rest." Wang Wenhua looked back at the many officials who were restless in the hall, and waved his hand.

Everyone was very sensible and exited the main hall and went to the side hall next door.

Seeing Wen Hao's leaving figure, Xu Fan glanced at a corner in the hall and signaled Bai Luohe to sneak over quietly and stare at him.

"Master Wang, what is happening to our Xu family now..."

"It is all my fault that the Yin Yang Gate rebels are so rampant. I will write a memorial tonight and ask the court to send troops to encircle and suppress the rebels. Guangling Palace will also seal the city immediately."

Wang Wenhua clapped his chest and promised. Along the way, he saw that the Xu Mansion was devastated, with ruins and ashes everywhere, which shocked him.

These Yin-Yang Sect rebels broke into the Xu Mansion this time. If they break into the Guangling Mansion next time, wouldn't his life be guaranteed?

Xu Fan frowned, moved his body with difficulty, and lay down in a comfortable position.

"Master, please be careful." Zi'er's eyes were red and swollen from crying, she carefully supported Xu Fan and said worriedly.

Xu Fan gently rubbed the hair on Zi'er's forehead with his hand, and said with a sad smile, "Don't worry, your young master is very lucky, he will be fine."

Wang Wenhua also looked ugly. If the Xu family was destroyed under his rule, how should he explain to the court?

At this time, he could only lower his voice and said, "Master Xu, I'm afraid that we can no longer live in Xu Mansion for the time being. I wonder what your plans are."

When everyone in the hall heard this, they looked at each other, and then looked at Xu Fan who was sitting on the soft couch. Now that Xu's house was experiencing a fire, everyone didn't know what to do. I hope Xu Fan could come up with an idea.

Seeing everyone's complicated looks, Xu Fan coughed lightly, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He said in a hoarse voice, "I can't make up my mind about what the Xu family should do at the moment. Why don't we wait until everyone in the Xu family can discuss it?"

You reply."

Wang Wenhua turned slightly sideways and looked at the Xu family members in the hall. Xu Ji and Xu Xiang had wrinkled faces, and Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui had sad eyes. He didn't know how to comfort them.

"The rebels are so rampant. The imperial court will definitely send out a large army to encircle and suppress them! You must express your condolences."

Xu Fan stood up with difficulty and cupped his hands towards Wang Wenhua, "Thank you so much, Magistrate Wang. This is also Xu Mansion's own calamity. We can't blame others."

"It's just that I don't understand something. Why did the Yin Yang Gate rebels use the strong bows and crossbows of the military standard? This matter is of great importance, and I have to trouble the prefect Wang to investigate it carefully."

Wang Wenhua looked at Xu Fan's pale face and clear eyes. He stayed for a moment and said awkwardly, "The remnants of the Yin Yang Sect are so rampant and unscrupulous. There must be someone in the government colluding secretly. I, the Guangling Mansion, will definitely investigate to the end and will never condone this.

At least, Master Xu and everyone in the Xu family can rest assured."

In the hall, everyone in the Xu Mansion stood up and bowed their hands towards Wang Wenhua.

"Master Xu is not feeling well. It's better to lie down and rest. The doctor will be here soon. Don't overwork yourself and hurt your body." Seeing that Xu Fan was about to stand up and salute, Wang Wenhua moved forward slightly and held Xu Fan's arm with both hands, comforting him.

road.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang."

With Wang Wenhua's support, Xu Fan lay back on the soft couch again, his eyes filled with the gratitude that a young man should have.

Alas, a boy of only sixteen years old has been in trouble one after another.

Wang Wenhua secretly shook his head, "I will go back to the government office first and dispatch the city defense battalion officers and government officials to search the whole city. I wonder if we can still find the den of the escaped traitors. As for the encirclement and suppression of Yin Yang Gate, we will stay up all night

Send a letter to Governor Qin."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang." Xu Fan coughed heavily again, his body shaking uncontrollably.

"I will not disturb you anymore. The government office will leave twenty officers to stay here. If Master Xu has something that comes to mind, he can send someone to the government office to inform me at any time." Wang Wenhua stood up and left, with a look on his face.

His expression was unusually solemn.

He bowed his hands to everyone present one by one, and the four members of the Xu family also solemnly returned the gift.

Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui personally escorted Wang Wenhua out of the main hall, and escorted many officials from Guangling Mansion out of the Wave Courtyard.

The two wanted to send Wang Wenhua to the main entrance of Xu Mansion, but Wang Wenhua persuaded them to stop.

"You still have to put yourselves first at this time. There may be traitors lurking in the ruins." Wang Wenhua glanced at the burning ruins outside the Wave Court, his expression gloomy and scary.

He was the prefect of Guangling appointed by the emperor. In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Wenhua was a man who gained the position of prefect in the prosperous land of Jiangnan through flattery.

Wang Wenhua glanced hard at the officials behind him, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "My colleagues have also seen the current situation in Xu Mansion. There are arrows and broken bows all over the ground, but they are all standard weapons of the military. We will conduct a thorough investigation immediately when we get back.

This matter involves the traitors of the Yin and Yang Sect, and I will never tolerate it. No matter which one of you is involved, I will catch it to the end, no matter who is standing behind it."

Many officials of the Guangling Mansion stood beside the ruins, all with solemn expressions. Guangling Mansion was about to be completely shaken.

The soldiers of Jiangnan Province were still putting out the fire on the ruins of Xu Mansion, destroying more than ten courtyards in a row, and even destroying the courtyards of other mansions around Xu Mansion, and finally stopped the spread of the fire.

"Brother Fan, what do you think we should do now?"

After sending away Wang Wenhua and other officials, Xu Wenshu, Xu Yuhui and others came to the bedroom on the second floor of the attic of Huxin Island, looking anxious.

Anyone who has experienced such a fire, in which relatives were buried in the flames, and can still cope with it in this way is already extremely calm.

Under Zi'er's service, Xu Fan put on a clean plain white brocade clothes again. Xu Fan was leaning on a high chair. He no longer looked as pale and sad as the people in the Guangling Mansion Yamen had seen before.

After taking a sip of wine and looking at the four people in the hall, Xu Fan motioned to Zi'er to offer them a glass of wine.

Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui did not refuse. Seeing their fathers drinking it all in one gulp, they picked up the celadon wine glasses and drank heavily.

After the two drank the wine, their eyes lit up, and a warm current flowed down from their chests and abdomen, nourishing their whole bodies.

The previous fatigue was swept away, and there was a hint of shock in the eyes of the two of them. At the same time, they looked at the old gourd held tightly in Xu Fan's palm.

"Brother Fan, this drink..." Xu Wenshu didn't know how to describe it. His whole person seemed to be full of energy and no longer tired at all.

"It's amazing, this must be fairy wine!"

Xu Yuhui also felt subtle changes in his body.

I used to worry that my father and uncle would be physically exhausted if they stayed up late, but every time I saw my father and uncle drinking the drinks Xu Fan ordered Zi'er to bring, I became really curious.

Today, the two of them also tasted this drink, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

Seeing the shocked and dull eyes of the two people, Xu Fan coughed lightly, "Uncle Wenshu, Uncle Yuhui!"

Hearing Xu Fan's shout, the two of them came back to their senses, and the look of surprise on their faces became a little more serious. They never thought that their nephew would have such a magical brew.

After the shock, the two returned to normal. Their Xu family still had to face the current predicament.

Xu Fan took a look and noticed a white figure under the verandah outside, and knew that there was no suspicious person around.

Xu Fan coughed again and looked at Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui calmly, his voice cold and said, "Two uncles, can I trust you? Can the Xu family trust you?"

The two looked at each other and wondered what Xu Fan meant. They were both descendants of the Xu family, how could they say that the Xu family could trust them?

There was a hint of confusion in Xu Wenshu's eyes, but his tone was extremely firm, "I am a descendant of the Xu family, so the Xu family can naturally trust me."

Xu Yuhui also quickly reacted, "Of course you can trust us, we are all members of the Xu family!"

"Okay!" Xu Ji and Xu Xiang said at the same time, very pleased. They had children and grandchildren who were willing to contribute to the Xu family.

Xu Fan poured out four more glasses of wine from the old gourd and asked Zi'er to serve them in front of the four of them.

After the four of them drank the wine in the celadon wine glasses, Zi'er picked up the tray and walked out of the house. She glanced back at Xu Fan, with deep worry in her eyes.

It wasn't until he couldn't hear the footsteps anymore that Xu Fan spoke slowly, "The thieves who broke into Xu's house tonight are the traitors of the Yin and Yang Gate."

"Well, we all know this. The prefect Wang said it." Xu Yuhui wrinkled and said. At this time, he was more concerned about what the Xu family should do in the future.

"Stop interrupting!"

Xu Ji glared coldly.

Xu Fan tied the old gourd back to his waist, stood up and walked towards the door, pushed open the door with both hands, looked down at the flaming ruins of Xu's house through the corridor on the second floor, and said in an indifferent voice, "Those traitors are using

These are military weapons."

"In the military?!!"

The four people in the hall were stunned on the spot at the same time, not knowing how to consume this terrible news.

"Could it be that the traitors from the Yin and Yang Sect colluded with a certain gentleman in Guangling Mansion?"

Xu Ji's body trembled slightly, shaking even more violently. With blurry vision, he could vaguely see Xu's ancestral temple, which had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The ancestors of the Xu family all...
