Could it be that there was a funeral in the Xue family?

Even Xue Fan and Xue Rou personally wore linen and filial piety, and the person who died must be the descendant of the Xue family, but such a big thing happened, why did no one in the capital know?

Immediately, Meng Chuan also figured out that the white lantern was just hanging inside the Xue family's mansion, and from the outside, it seemed that there was nothing abnormal in the Xue family's mansion, which was clearly that the Xue family didn't want to publicize this matter, and there might be something unspeakable.

"Young Master Xue, what's going on in the Xue family?" Meng Chuan couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Xue Fan spoke slowly, and sighed in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Meng, my father...... Tragically passed away!"

"What, the head of the Xue family has passed away?" Meng Chuan was shocked, this kind of thing would definitely make the entire capital tremble.

But how could the dignified head of the Xue family say that there was no such thing, even if there was a disease, the Xue family could find someone from the Beijing Medical Association to treat it. As for seeking revenge, it should be even more impossible, if the Xue family doesn't even have the background to protect the family, how can they become one of the four giants?

Referring to the death of the head of the Xue family, Xue Rou couldn't help crying again.

Xue Fan patted his sister's shoulder, with a distressed look in his eyes, and beckoned the two subordinates and said, "You take the young lady back to the room, let her have a good rest, and I will entertain Mr. Meng." ”

"Yes, young master. The two maids nodded and helped Xue Rou to take her back.

Xue Rou also knew that her state was not suitable for staying here any longer, so she wiped her tears and apologized goodbye to Meng Chuan, while being helped away by the maid.

Xue Fan sighed again, and then made a gesture of invitation and said to Meng Chuan: "Mr. Meng, you and I will move to the study to talk, I have already asked people to prepare tea." ”

"Good. Meng Chuan nodded, and followed Xue Fan to the study.

The study was full of white cloths, and the relics of the head of the Xue family were sealed. Meng Chuan sat in the guest seat, with a cup of superb green tea in hand, the temperature was moderate, and it could be drunk directly.

At this time, Meng Chuan didn't have any interest in drinking tea, and asked directly: "Young Master Xue, what the hell is going on? You and I have only been separated for a few days, why did such a big thing happen to the Xue family?

Why did you die suddenly?"

Xue Fan trembled and picked up the teacup, took a sip, and there was some blood on his chapped lips, but his spirit was still sluggish, and he said in a deep voice: "My father's death is too strange!"

"Mr. Meng, look at this. ”

As he spoke, Xue Fan took out a few photos from his pocket and handed them to Meng Chuan with his eyes closed, as if the scene in the photo would evoke something that made him desperate.

Meng Chuan took the photo, looked down, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

In the photo, there is only one middle-aged man, lying on his back on a spiritual table, and the common incense burner on the spiritual table has been overturned.

What's even more terrifying is that the middle-aged man was directly dissected by an unknown thing from his chest to his navel, and all the organs in it disappeared, only a piece of frightening blood!

The middle-aged man's face still retains the expression before he died, with a look of horror and disbelief, God knows what he went through before he died.

"This ...... Could it be the head of the Xue family?" Meng Chuan didn't know the head of the Xue family, so he guessed.

Xue Fan's hands trembled again, and he poured himself another cup of tea, and then he choked up and said, "That's right, it's my father." ”

"Soon after I took Mr. Meng to the capital, there was a wake-up ceremony in the Xue family, all the Xue family members were not allowed to go out, and the members of the lineage were to keep a vigil for their ancestors in the ancestral hall for one night. ”

"The first night my sister and I held a vigil for my grandfather, and nothing happened. But God knows why, the next night my father's wake was over, and the next morning his body was found, and he died so miserably on the ancestral hall!"

"At that time, only members of the lineage were allowed to enter the mourning hall, and many masters of our Xue family were arranged outside the mourning hall to protect and guard, I asked those people, and they didn't hear anything all night. ”

"But there was no movement, why did my father die so quietly and tragically?!"

Meng Chuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he looked at these photos, and then asked, "Is it that the Xue family has offended some master and has been sought revenge?"

Xue Fan shook his head and said: "No, although our Xue family has a big business, when it rose, it robbed many people's jobs.

But the reputation has always been good, and I have never formed a mortal enmity with anyone or force, and no one has a reason to send a master who can avoid all the grandmasters of the Xue family to assassinate my father. ”

"And my father is already a master at the level of a grandmaster, although he is ranked last on the grandmaster list, but he can be killed silently in this way, at least the top ten masters on the grandmaster list can do it. ”

"The top ten masters on the Grandmaster List have names and surnames, most of our Xue family know each other, and they don't have any enmity with anyone, and even some of them have good friendships, so they have no reason to do this kind of thing at all......

Speaking of this, Xue Fan couldn't help but rub his swollen temples, shook his head and said, "It's really unbelievable, my father just left like this, and our Xue family is not prepared at all." ”

"And his death is so strange, before the truth is investigated, our Xue family doesn't even dare to reveal the news of his father's death, so he can only hold a memorial service inside the mansion, which can be regarded as sending his old man on his last journey......"

After hearing this, Meng Chuan finally understood why Shi Potian and Kawashima Hideyoshi fought at that time, and the people of the Xue family did not participate. Why has there been no news from the Xue family in the capital recently, and there has been no movement. Why did such a major thing happen to the Xue family, but they still had to deliberately hide it.

Meng Chuan saw that Xue Fan's whole person was so haggard, and he didn't know how to comfort him except for persuading him to mourn.

"Young Master Xue, people can't be resurrected after death, and the top priority is to investigate the cause of the death of the head of the Xue family. Otherwise, you can take me to the Xue family's mourning hall to have a look, maybe you will find something. ”

Xue Fan nodded and said, "It's not a secret, I invited you to come over today, Mr. Meng, I also want to borrow your hand to see if I can see something." ”

"There must be a reasonable explanation for my father's death, if I find out who is the murderer of him, and pour out the strength of the entire Xue family, I will also kill him!"

Xue Fan's eyes were red and full of murderous aura. He still remembers that when he proposed to fill the grave in order to save his sister and was opposed by the Xue family, it was his father who quietly found him and asked him to invite Mr. Meng for his sister.

Such a loving father died!

He Xue Fan was unwilling!
