Xu Ji still had a sad look on his face, but there was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Brother Fan, you make the decision."

In the past, Xu Fan would be regarded as a dandy young master, but now that they know that he is a monk, everyone is naturally very serious.

Even Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui, who had lost several concubines, concubines, and concubines, restrained their minds and stared at Xu Fan quietly.

Xu Fan glanced at the four men of the Xu family in front of him, who could also be regarded as the head gossips of the Xu family in Guangling.

"Tomorrow we will send off the servants of the Xu family first. If you are willing to stay, you can move to Jinling with the Xu family. If you are not willing, you can give them some dismissal silver."

Although the Xu Mansion was reduced to ruins by a fire, there were still several hidden secret rooms underground, in which there might be some hard currency such as land deeds, house deeds, and silver coins.

The other people in the second, third and fourth bedrooms have gone to Jinling before, now they are going to Jinling too?

Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui always felt a little resentful in their hearts. If they had gone to Jinling with Erfang and the others, this situation would not have happened now.

Xu Wenshugan laughed and said, "Brother Fan, shall we go to Jinling? If the imperial court..."

The words were not clearly stated, only the beginning, but everyone in the room understood.

After going to Jinling, that was the top priority of the imperial court in Jiangnan Road. If someone were to burn Xu Mansion again, wouldn't they become turtles in the urn?

Looking at Xu Ji, Xu Xiang, Xu Wenshu, and Xu Yuhui with worried expressions on their faces, Xu Fan sneered, "Those people are just thinking about Xu's wealth and industry. It happened that this fire completely burned Xu's house.

Net. If we don’t mention those industries that are distributed in various places, they will just eat them silently.”

"In this way, as long as we don't take the initiative to mention it, we just have to wait for those people to fight. As for the future development of Xu Mansion, I have my own arrangements."

Xu Xiang rubbed his sore forehead and asked in a low voice, "Brother Fan, those properties may have been left by the ancestors of the Xu family. If we let go like this, wouldn't it..."

Xu Fan waved his hand, with a playful sneer in his eyes, "We just want to throw away the Xu family's properties. These properties will become bait and let them fight to the death. Whether it is the imperial court, Jiangnan officialdom, vassal kings or Jianghu forces are all watching

Our Xu family. Only by giving up these things can we get a chance to breathe."

Although Xu Fan opened a cyclone acupuncture point, he could not resist the various forces lurking in the dark using human sea tactics.

At present, the most precious thing is time. As long as he has enough time, he can quickly improve his strength.

Xu Ji, Xu Xiang, Xu Wenshu, and Xu Yuhui looked at each other and nodded.

Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui got up to appease the remaining family members, relatives and servants of Xu Mansion.

Looking at the two people leaving, Xu Ji breathed a long sigh of relief and asked feebly. "Brother Fan, did you already know that those people were going to attack our Xu family?"

Thinking of the time when the others in the second, third and fourth bedrooms left, Xu Fan did not stop them at all and even gave them some money.

Seeing the current scene of the Xu Mansion, Xu Ji and Xu Xiang felt a sense of loss in their hearts.

If the fire tonight completely wipes out everyone in the Xu family... at least the Xu family will still have its incense.

Xu Fan looked at the two grandfathers with a serious look on his face, and shook his head firmly. "I don't know this." Thinking of what happened to everyone in the Xu Mansion in the previous life, it can be said that it was a vast expanse of white. The second, third, and fourth bedrooms were all gone in the end.

A man ends well.

Seeing the decayed expressions of the two masters, Xu Fan couldn't bear it, but he couldn't say it, so he could only comfort him. "Master Ji, Master Xiang, you should also take a rest first. You've been tired all night, and your body can't sustain it like this."

living."

"Okay." The two old men could only nod in agreement. Xu Fan ordered Zi'er to call two boys to help them go to the east quiet room in the attic to rest.

Watching the two trembling bodies slowly disappear at the end of the corridor, Xu Fan stood in the lonely night wind, overlooking the ruins of the entire Xu Mansion.

"What did you find?"

Bai Luohe returned from nowhere and came to Xu Fan's side. He sighed and said, "You guessed it right, Mr. Wen is also involved, but I don't know if the Wen family is involved."

After a while, Bai Luohe continued, "I discovered that monk in the secret. He was one of the two people who took Lu Baishan away before."

"Wen family, Lu Jia... it's really lively. More and more people want the Xu family's fortune." Xu Fan laughed angrily.

"After all, the Xu family controls so many industries in Jiangnan, how can they not be hated by others? What are your next steps?"

Bai Luohe smoothed his hair from his temples and glanced at the old gourd tied around Xu Fan's waist.

Xu Fan laughed loudly, perhaps to appease everyone in the Wave Court.

"Since they have already taken action, I will not hold back."

Bai Luohe's cold, creamy face moved slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his starry eyes.

He secretly marveled in his heart, "Is Xu Fan going to make an enemy of the entire Qian Kingdom? What else does he have to rely on? The wine gourd has been destroyed, what else can he rely on to cope with the current crisis?"

Xu Fan met Bai Luohe's star-like eyes, as if he knew what she was thinking, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "What? You don't believe it?"

Bai Luohe snorted softly, with a cold tone, and turned his head to look at the layers of rain, "I am already a grasshopper on the same rope with you, so what if I don't believe you?"

"Really, that's right. Anyway, you should go and rest."

That night, many people couldn't sleep.

Wen Hao ordered Wen Si to secretly investigate all night with the Wen family's men hidden in Guangling City. He even used his connections in the city defense camp, but still found no trace of Lu Baishan and Wen San.

Wang Wenhua wrote furiously and wrote to Jinling City all night long.

The other officials of Guangling Mansion are secretly planning everyone's future.

The city gates of Guangling Mansion are closed, but these officials still have channels to send their respective news out of the city.

There was a heavy rain all night, but it could not stop the fast horses galloping towards Jinling and the fast horse messengers from the mansions of the major families in the city.

In the Wave Courtyard, the people of Xu Mansion had a difficult night.

Some of them lost their children, some lost their fathers, some lost their mothers, some lost their wives.

In the rainy night, low cries could be heard from time to time in the Wave Court.

Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui walked around the Wave Court all night just to appease their remaining family members.

The morning light came up the next day, the sky was clear and the wind was clear.

Xu Wenshu took seven or eight servants to the ruins of Xu Mansion early in the morning and excavated several secret rooms and secret chambers. He ordered his servants to go to the market to buy some daily food, fruits and vegetables, chicken, duck and fish.

Xu Fan stood under the verandah on the second floor and looked at Xu Wenshu. Xu Yuhui was arranging people to distribute breakfast to everyone in the Xu family.

The corpses in the Wave Courtyard have been cleaned up overnight by the soldiers and government officials, but occasionally you can still see blood stains washed away by the rain.

Looking at the busy figures below, Xu Fan felt a sense of comfort. Whether Xu Mansion can continue depends not only on Xu Fan alone, but also on how many people are willing to share hardships with Xu Mansion.

It is easy to share wealth and honor, but it is not easy to share adversity.

Looking at several children running on the grass in the courtyard, with bright smiles on their faces. Xu Fan also saw his sister among them, and five or six young masters and young ladies from the Xu family were happily in the courtyard.

playing, followed by a group of maids.

Only then did I remember Mrs. Wang. She actually didn't take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Liu and Xu Yuhui's wife stood side by side under the verandah at the corner of the side hall, looking at the children lying on the grass seven or eight feet away, and finally the sadness on their faces was relieved.

Last night, they didn't know how they managed to hold on.

As the head of the Xu Mansion's backyard, the entire Xu Mansion suffered a disaster, and they could only hold their children tightly and run away helplessly.

Fortunately, all the men in my family are fine.

After breakfast, Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui gathered all the servants of the Xu family in front of the grassland on the island in the middle of the lake.

Everyone in Xu Mansion looked frightened and waited quietly for the two masters' orders.

At this time, some of them wanted to escape, but their birth certificates were still in the Xu Mansion. Some of them just entered the Xu Mansion and wanted to leave.

After all, life is yours and only once.

There were two to three hundred people present, including young servants and maids, strong servants and servants, as well as some old women and grandmothers and old men who drove carriages and looked after the gates.

After a thrilling night of fleeing for life and death, he finally survived.

"Many of you are old people from the Xu Mansion, and some of you just sold yourself into the Xu Mansion." Xu Wenshu glanced at Xu Yuhui, coughed lightly, and said to the crowd.

"You escaped this disaster together with the Xu family. Now the Xu family is in trouble, but we can't let everyone suffer with the Xu family. After discussing with Mr. Yuhui, I decided to return everyone's life deeds. If anyone wants to leave, the Xu family will give them to you."

Twenty taels of travel fare per person."

The deed will be returned free of charge, and there will be twenty taels of travel expenses.

The crowd suddenly became lively. They had been frightened all night. Many of them wanted to leave the Xu Mansion. How could they not be happy now that the masters of the Xu Mansion agreed.

"Master Wen Shu, I, I still want to stay in Xu Mansion."

There was also a little maid who escaped, but she had no relatives. If she left the Xu Mansion, she didn't know where to go, so she mustered up the courage to ask.

Xu Wenshu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a fifteen or six-year-old little maid in the crowd, wearing tattered clothes and with several burnt holes in her body, looking at him timidly.

Xu Wenshu whispered to Zi'er beside him, and Zi'er quickly took out a brand new set of robes from the attic and gave them to the little maid.

"Don't be afraid, these are my clothes. You can take them and wear them." Zi'er ran very fast on her legs and quickly passed through the crowd and came to the little maid, holding a piece of her own clothes in both hands.

Encouragement.

"Thank you so much, Sister Zi'er." The little maid cried with tears in her eyes.

Xu Wenshu glanced at the crowd again and saw that many people lowered their heads and swallowed softly. Some missed their family members who died in the fire, while others were confused about the future and did not know where to go.

"The Xu Mansion is in trouble today, but the government has not caught the culprit yet. You must think clearly, if you don't want to leave the Xu Mansion, you might still..."

On the other side, Xu Yuhui said loudly, "Did you all hear clearly what Mr. Wenshu said? For those who are willing to stay, the Xu Mansion will try its best to protect everyone's safety, but those thieves from the Yin and Yang Sect are cunning. Everyone who stays

, you have to be mentally prepared.”

The Xu Mansion is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and it may encounter more terrible disasters.

Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui concealed the matters involving the imperial court and only focused on the Yin Yang Gate rebels.

It is precisely in the hope that everyone in Xu Mansion can survive and make the most important decision in their hearts.
