The old scene is still the same as yesterday, one day in the morning and one day in the morning. Pinzhuxuan outside the bamboo sea waves, the small bridge and flowing water, three figures in the forest, one after the other walking on the gravel path.

All the little maids and maids of the Xu Mansion who met on the road stopped and bowed one after another.

Walking through a long gravel path and walking through the winding water of the corridor, Xu Fan clearly heard the noisy voices in the main hall of Pinzhuxuan.

"Tell me what it is. Shopkeeper Liu, who was talking to me about silk cloth yesterday, actually died early this morning. Tell me, it's a terrible thing. It's simply heartbreaking. ”

"Who says it's not, so is the shopkeeper Qi of Moyufang. There is really no way to stay in this Guangling City. ”

"Otherwise, let's hurry to Jinling City to avoid the limelight. It's been really evil lately. First of all, we Xu Mansion went to the water, and now there are some partners in the city who have died in an unknown way, and the government is really a group of rice buckets. ”

"Fourth master, third master, you two have an idea."

Xu Fan walked into the main hall and saw a group of children of the Xu family arguing endlessly, making Xu Ji and Xu Xiang helpless.

Three rooms: Xu Yushu, Xu Yuze, Xu Yuhui; Four rooms: Xu Wenxi, Xu Wenxiu, Xu Wenshu

Second room: Xu Yuanhong, Xu Yuanbai, Xu Yuanxing.

There are even five or six third-generation children of the Xu Mansion who are the same age as Xu Fan.

At this time, the main hall of Pinzhuxuan could be described as very lively, but when everyone saw Xu Fan and Zi'er following behind them, they all stopped arguing.

"Brother Fan, are you here?" Xu Ji's eyes finally showed a hint of relief, if Xu Fan didn't come again, he would have to tell the little servant to go to the Wave Court to invite Xu Fan over.

"Two grandfathers, what's wrong?" Xu Fan looked at the people sitting in the main hall with a scrutinizing face, he was left alone in the big room now, and at this moment, everyone in the second, third, and fourth rooms in the hall was complete.

"Brother Fan, you came at the right time. Everyone is now clamoring to leave Guangling City. You can get an idea. Xu Xiang let out a long sigh, his wrinkled face was wrinkled like cracked old bark.

"What the hell is going on?" Xu Fan walked in front of everyone and sat straight on the main seat, his eyes were gloomy, and he swept over the people present one by one.

Zi'er took the teacup from the maid on the side, gently put it on the round table beside Xu Fan, and went to the side hall to order the maid below to prepare some pastries again.

Bai Luohe didn't appear, just a corner that everyone couldn't see.

"Brother Fan, do you know that overnight, many people died in the city, all of them died bizarrely. This Guangling City is too terrifying, our Xu family can't stay here any longer. ”

A middle-aged man sitting on the left hand position, a wisp of long beard was very falling, and he trembled slightly with his voice.

Xu Fan looked at the other party carefully, and then remembered who the other party was from his dusty memory, Xu Yuanhong, the uncle in the second room.

Since his father's death, Xu Yuanhong has often gone to Mrs. Wang, as if he had become Mrs. Wang's representative to the outside world in Xu's mansion.

It's a pity that Xu Fan came back, and with the ability to be reborn, he broke his dream of taking charge of the external authority of the Xu Mansion.

Xu Fan smiled slightly, looked at the rest of the people, and asked, "You think so too?" ”

Everyone in the hall is a child of the Xu Mansion, although they have no real power in the past, but they live a drunken life.

Now that their lives are threatened, how can they not be worried.

Xu Yuanhong sat up straight, as if he had suddenly mustered up all his strength, his eyes met Xu Fan's gaze, and he said loudly, "Brother Fan, you don't know. Most of the people who died were involved with our Xu Mansion, and I, we are worried that there will be a bigger conspiracy against our Xu Mansion in the future. ”

"Dozens of people died overnight, and most of them were directly involved with the Xu Mansion and said that they would not clean up the unknown relationship. Brother Fan, now that you let the two grandfathers take charge of the Xu Mansion, you have to think more about everyone's net worth and life. ”

"Yes, Brother Fan. Go to Jinling City. At least it'll be safer than Guangling City. What's more, our Xu Mansion also has a lot of industries in Jinling. ”

Soon, the hall began to be noisy again.

Xu Fan rubbed his forehead helplessly and coughed lightly, "Okay, let's be quiet." I already know what your uncles are worried about. It's just that our Xu Mansion has a lot of properties in Guangling City, and your uncles are willing to go to Jinling? ”

"Go, gotta go. Now just wait for Brother Fan's words. Xu Yuanbai took advantage of the fact that everyone had not yet reacted, and was the first to stand up and take the lead.

Several people who died last night had left his relationship and had many industrial involvements with him in private.

Xu Yuanbai didn't want these murders to be involved with him at this time.

"What about you?" Xu Fan leaned back in the chair, picked up the pastry handed over by Zi'er, tasted it carefully, and asked in a vague voice.

Everyone didn't seem to see it, or didn't care about Xu Fan's scrutinizing gaze at all, and nodded one after another, expressing their willingness to leave Guangling City as soon as possible.

In the previous life, although Xu Fan was no longer in Qianguo, he learned from the analysis of later events that in order to survive, these men in Xu Mansion did not hesitate to hand over the property accumulated by their ancestors, but in the end they still did not end up with a good death.

Thinking back to this time, Xu Fan looked at the two old men Xu Ji and Xu Xiang next to the long case behind a screen, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

He said silently to himself in his heart, "Only the two of you are willing to keep the Xu Mansion family business in Guangling." ”

"By the way, what about the second master?" Xu Fan asked knowingly.

"I, I, my father hasn't recovered yet." Xu Yuanhong hesitated for a long time before he spoke.

"Since you all want to go, I can't force it. But after all, the Xu Mansion is the Xu Mansion of the big house, although you are surnamed Xu, but my line is the main family. If you want to leave, I can't force you to stay. But after all, we are the same ancestor, and I don't want outsiders to look down on our Xu family. ”

"Ji Ye, Xiang Ye, are you two also going to leave the Xu Mansion?"

Xu Fan finished eating the small half of the green crisp pastry left in his hand, took a sip of warm tea, looked sideways at the long case in the inner hall, and asked softly.

"If they want to go, let's go. Our old bones can't walk. ”

Xu Ji snorted coldly, so angry that the three wisps of white beard trembled uncontrollably, and his ice blade-like gaze stared fiercely at his three sons.

Not only Xu Ji, but Xu Xiang also looked angry, looking at his son and grandson with unkind eyes.

The two old men really didn't expect that in just one night, their children and grandchildren would become greedy for life and afraid of death. For the sake of his own life, he actually disregarded the family business of his ancestors.

"Daddy~"

Xu Yushu and Xu Wenxi shouted at the same time, meeting their father's gaze, with a complicated expression on their faces, but they were very firm in their hearts.

In the past few days, the threshold of their third and fourth rooms has been broken by all kinds of people, who are holding the greetings of high-ranking officials in Jinling City.

Some people even came with the tokens of the three vassal kings, and the two of them were really anxious and tired.

"Alright, you don't need to shout anymore."

Xu Xiang waved his hand, although he was reluctant in his heart, his tone was still softened, "Since Brother Fan has agreed, you also want to leave." My old bones will not stand in your way. ”

As soon as Xu Xiang's words came out, the hearts of everyone in the hall were also put down.

Seeing the changes in the expressions on everyone's faces, Xu Fan said lightly, "That's it, some people want to leave, and some people may not want to go." I'll give you another day to think about it. ”

Without waiting for Xu Fan to finish speaking, Xu Yuanhong's eyes flickered, and the expression on his face changed several times, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Fan, our second room has already been considered." ”

With Xu Yuanhong taking the lead, the two principals of the third and fourth rooms also echoed one after another.

"Okay." Xu Fan spread his hands helplessly, "Since you want to leave, you can't be empty-handed." The second, third, and fourth rooms shall each take 100,000 taels of silver in the treasury, and you may take with you your own belongings in each room. ”

Xu Fan's words fell, and the essence of Xu Ji and Xu Xiang seemed to be emptied in an instant, and the two sat on the chairs, their hands trembling slightly.

Through the screen, you can clearly see the excitement and joy on the faces of your children and grandchildren.

It's over, the second, third, and fourth rooms of Xu's Mansion are going to be separated!

Zi'er stood behind Xu Fan, looking at the children of the Xu family in the hall with a puffed face, but she didn't dare to say a word.

has lived in the Xu Mansion since he was a child, and is constrained by the rules of the house, even if Xu Fan is now in charge of the house behind the scenes.

Zi'er still didn't dare to speak angrily to the many men of the Xu family, but just put the tea cup in her hand on the round table.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zi'er's angry willow eyebrows, and Xu Fan just shook his head slightly. Seeing everyone in the hall leave, everyone's faces were extremely happy and excited.

I thought that Xu Fan's big house would not let them go easily, but I didn't expect to get a large sum of silver in the end.

As for the Xu Mansion's property in Guangling City, they didn't care. As long as they have money in their hands, they can go to Jinling to buy another property, buy a house, buy a land, and buy a shop.

With the status of the Xu Mansion in Jiangnan, what will they not be able to buy if they want to?

It's a pity that this group of people forgot that when they left, would the people who respected them in the past still respect them?

"Ji Ye, Xiang Ye, drink a glass of wine to relieve fatigue."

I don't know when, Xu Fan came to the two old men, poured twice the wine from the dilapidated gourd, and handed it to the two of them, with a shallow smile on his face.

Xu Ji's face was a little heavier, he reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table, smelled the fragrant wine in the cup, frowned, and said, "Why haven't you seen this wine before?" ”

"This is my new concoction, try it and see how it tastes?" Xu Fan smiled and handed another cup to Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if most of the blocks in his heart were washed away by this glass of wine.

"Why are you still here?"

Xu Xiang, who put down the wine glass, inadvertently saw through the gap in the screen that there were two young people standing respectfully in the main hall, it was the youngest son who had been following them for the past few days, Xu Yuhui and Xu Wenshu.

Sensing the embarrassed looks on the faces of the two, Xu Fan suddenly smiled and said, "Two grandfathers, you are old, and I am a playful person. The two uncles stayed, of course, worried about you. ”

Hearing Xu Fan's explanation, the guilt on the faces of Xu Ji and Xu Xiang dissipated slightly, and they still had good sons.

"Brother Fan is right. How did we get away. Xu Wenshu bowed down and hugged his fists towards the two old men behind the screen, also looking ashamed.

"Alright, you can continue talking. I'll go down first. ”

This time, Xu Fan wanted to ask Xu how much silver was still in the treasury of Xu's mansion, and he needed to continue to buy a large number of fine wines.

At the same time, it is necessary to wait for this. Those who waited did not come, and the result was a group of people who wanted to divide the family.
