After going around and around, in this complicated courtyard, Fang Xiaotang could barely make out the direction, the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, and her figure spread out like light smoke.

Even if the guards looking for it are not ordinary people, in the face of Fang Xiaotang, who is as fast as a flash, it is still a little not enough to see.

It didn't take long for Fang Xiaotang to come to the back garden of the Xu Mansion, where there were many fewer defensive forces, but there were still many people in the brightly lit courtyard.

It's not the height of summer, but the gardenias are still blooming so brightly, and the fragrant fragrance is flowing one after another, flowing in Fang Xiaotang's heart and fingertips.

The temple in the distance, even though it was gradually blurred due to the sunset, the fragrance of the flowers still penetrated into the heart, making Fang Xiaotang's face couldn't help but have a bright smile.

"Huh!"

Fang Xiaotang called out in surprise, even though the fragrance of flowers in front of her lingered in every inch of soil under the night sky, she could still clearly smell the aroma of the herbs contained in it.

"It seems that in addition to flowers and plants, there is no shortage of elixirs here."

Fang Xiaotang smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, she was very interested in elixir, but this was not a shocking thing, many big families would plant a lot of elixir.

However, because of this, Fang Xiaotang was also curious about the identity of the person who planted it, in her opinion, except for the pharmacist, there should be few people who can use the elixir, maybe it is a few pharmacists enshrined in the Xu Mansion.

Fang Xiaotang didn't continue to stay in place, looked up and looked around, and then said that the path paved with red sand and gravel, towards the location where the light was not extinguished, slowly sneaked in, like a ghost walking on the eaves of Xu's house.

Along the way, Fang Xiaotang found several guards who were extremely hidden, if it was to guard against ordinary people, it was naturally enough, but it was obviously ineffective to deal with a monk like her. However, it can also be seen from this that the guard of the Xu Mansion is unusually strict.

It stands to reason that with the relationship between the Xu Mansion and the Tianya Sea Pavilion, shouldn't they be preparing to celebrate with great fanfare recently? Why is it more vigilant, and so many more people have been dispatched, who exactly are they trying to guard against, it is really intriguing!

However, these people have already let Fang Xiaotang find out, I am in the dark, the enemy is in the light, these people are not defended at all for Fang Xiaotang, they need to bypass all the secret posts, and it is not so difficult for Fang Xiaotang.

Far away, Fang Xiaotang came to a single seven-story attic, stopped her steps, she looked up, and looked at the four words "Huilan Xiaoge" written in a simple and elegant manner on both sides, and knew that she had come to the right place.

"Huilan Xiaoge" is the residence of the Sanfang Han family, and she, as Wang Tiezhu's aunt, is also the only person Fang Xiaotang can trust.

Fang Xiaotang found her for help, which could save him a lot of trouble, and maybe he would be able to obtain the legendary starry sky map without much effort.

Fang Xiaotang looked at the top floor of the attic, where there were still bright lights, and he knew that most of them were the principals of the Xu Mansion, and they had not slept peacefully, so it was a good opportunity to investigate.

Therefore, Fang Xiaotang hurriedly took advantage of the night that his figure was as fast as lightning, and in an instant, he had already climbed over the care of the heavy guards and went deep into the bottom of the first floor.

didn't go to the main entrance, Fang Xiaotang hung upside down under the eaves like a bat, and then suddenly used his toes to exert force, his body swinged, and quickly climbed to the second floor, without the slightest drag in the whole process.

It seems that after thousands of rehearsals, Fang Xiaotang's smooth movements are very ornamental, without a trace of delay. However, only Fang Xiaotang himself knew that this was entirely due to his good physical fitness, so he was able to show so many tricks, and it was too laborious to even climb up to the second floor after changing his previous weak body.

Fortunately, Fang Xiaotang's heart was moving quickly, and all the night watchmen, whether bright or dark, were completely unaware of Fang Xiaotang's incursion.

Outside the door of a bright house, Fang Xiaotang leaned on the second-floor hall so tightly, sticking to the window edge, like an octopus, and he didn't have to be afraid that it would fall.

Coupled with Fang Xiaotang's streamlined black tights, it was full of explosive power, especially so that the whole body was not in the shadows, and there was no trace of disobedience, it seemed to be integrated with the night, and then listened carefully to the situation in the house.

Because of Fang Xiaotang's extraordinary hearing, Fang Xiaotang vaguely felt that there was a woman's voice in the room talking softly, but the tone was not pure, and it seemed that there was not only one person speaking in the room.

"Qingyanling branch altar, 5,000 taels of tax, 72 carts of mink and dry goods, 100 catties of ginseng, and 200 jars of fruit wine."

"Dongliuling branch altar, tax 8,000 taels, mink, dry goods 29 cars, ginseng 1,000 catties, fruit wine 62 jars."

"The Shuanghualing altar is divided into nine thousand taels of taxes, two hundred carts of mink and dry goods, eighty-one catties of ginseng, and seven hundred jars of fruit wine."

"The Chunling branch altar, 2,000 taels of taxes, 100 carts of mink and dry goods, 52 catties of ginseng, 2,000 jars of fruit wine......"

"Dingxiling branch altar, tax 3,000 taels, mink, dry goods 50 carts, ginseng 20 catties, fruit wine 100 jars."

"Hanghualing ......"

…………………………

"In addition, all of them are the silver paid by all the sub-altars after the settlement last year, which is at least thirty-nine net income lower than in previous years, and as for the offerings of mountain goods and rouge, it is even more catty, less than two."

A nice man's words sounded, echoing in Fang Xiaotang's ears, these words were clear and vibrant, it could be seen that it was a young man who was not very old, but his next words revealed a sullen meaning.

"Master Han, now the leader of the branch altar is really less and less interested in us, and the amount of greed behind us will not be investigated! But the amount of money that was brought in was decreasing with each passing day. ”

The man said angrily, becoming more and more disdainful of the current situation.

"I know it, you can't blame them all for this, and you don't take it to your heart!"

After finishing the words, a female voice as soft as a spring breeze came, which made people's bones tingle, and without thinking about it, the owner of the voice must be a woman who "brought disaster to the country and the people".

"Who is this man, why did he appear in Han's house, could it be her lover?" Fang Xiaotang suddenly perked up, and realized that something was wrong, he didn't expect that he came so coincidentally, and actually discovered such a right secret.

Actually, there is no need to think about it, Fang Xiaotang can also hear that according to this tone, the woman must be the Han family, the head of the business road.

"What you say is reasonable, but at present, we are the head of our family, and it coincides with Miss Luoluo's wedding, and I don't know how many people want to watch us make a fool of ourselves. It is...... At this juncture, these old guys in the altar are deducting the money they have handed over, isn't this a provocation?_?

At this joint, if you don't make great efforts to straighten it out, I'm afraid that the future will be even more difficult? What's more, given our situation, if we continue like this, sooner or later all the sub-altars will not take our general altar seriously! The situation that has already fallen apart, if there is still no one to take care of it, they will be even more unscrupulous. ”

The man opened his mouth and complained, unable to calm down, in stark contrast to the calmness revealed in Han's words.

"I don't have any solution to this situation right now! You have to know what is behind the arrogance of these altars, but ...... You have to be clear, most of this place is in charge of Mrs. Fei alone, as long as the Black Flag Army in her hand does not move, the Xu Mansion will not be in chaos, but in the same way, if she doesn't act, no one will be able to command those big men!

Although we are also from Xufu, there is a gap between us and others after all! Now Madame Bai has thrown this errand to us, and it is precisely because of this that we can't refuse, and this matter is ...... Not only must we do it, but we must do it beautifully. ”

Mrs. Han's face was gloomy, and she replied helplessly.

"Then why did we take on such hard work in the first place? It was hard and thankless, and it cheapened Mrs. Bai's face in vain, she wanted to be a white lotus, and she dragged them into the water. The man said with an indignant expression.

"Hey, silly boy, you and I are orphans and widows, and we have no power in this family, so how can we be qualified to care about one or two? Now that Madame Bai has already given orders, you and I can only do it, what else do you want! Don't...... Is the end of the day? ”

Hearing her say this, the man also fell silent, and all movement in the room stopped for a while.

As the world passed, Fang Xiaotang could see the mother and son sitting at the table through the crimson curtain, looking at each other, and after a long time, no one spoke.

What's going on? Could it be that Xu Xianji, the head altar owner, still has a blood son, but in this case, why didn't he inherit the family business?

Fang Xiaotang has two conjectures, one is that the Han family has a wild man outside, and that man is her illegitimate son; The second is that the Han family was privately pregnant with the father and son of the chief altar master, Xu Xianji, but he was not recognized by others, so he had to hide it for his safety.

The first statement is untenable, first of all, the paralysis of the head altar master Xu Xianji happened not long ago, and who dares to bully his wife before his death, isn't that looking for death?

Therefore, from this point of view, this young man is really the son of Xu Xianji, the head of the altar, but in this case, why can't he get an identity recognition?

At this time, the young man's unwilling words sounded in the room again: "Mother, do we have to watch Madame Bai's power grow stronger and stronger, and watch Madame Fei's family dominate?"

You must understand that over the years, since the rebellion of He Tingyue, the envoy of the free right, coupled with the blows of other organizations, the power of most of the sub-altars has turned into all the confidence of our Blood Iron Society. Mother, if you don't get serious, sooner or later there will be no place for us in blood iron, and it will be difficult for you to get this power in terms of fame or identity!

This time, Madame Bai will release her strength, although she wants us to fight with the surname Fei, but it is also a good opportunity. We can completely pretend to be powerful, catch the momentum of Madame Bai, and force the surname Fei to hand over the military power in his hands. When the time comes, this huge Xu family will also have a place for us!"

"Lie, this kind of heart-wrenching thing, just think about it! Neither Madame Bai nor Mrs. Fei would compromise so easily. ”
