Xu Ji still had a sad look on his face, but there was already a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Brother Fan, you are in charge." ”

In the past, Xu Fan would be regarded as a young master, but now that he knows that the other party is a monk, everyone is naturally very solemn.

Even Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui, who had lost a few concubines, concubines, and concubines, also restrained their minds and watched Xu Fan quietly.

Xu Fan's gaze swept over the four men of the Xu family in front of him, and they could be regarded as the leaders of the Xu family in Guangling.

"Tomorrow, I will dismiss the people of the Xu Mansion first, and if you are willing to stay, you will move to Jinling with the Xu Mansion. If you don't want to, you can give some severance silver. ”

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

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

Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui always felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, if they had gone to Jinling with the second room, they would not have the current situation.

Xu Wenshu laughed, "Brother Fan, let's go to Jinling?" If it's the imperial court..."

The words were not spoken, only a beginning, but everyone in the room understood.

went to Jinling, which was the top priority of the imperial court in Jiangnan Province. If someone comes to burn Xu Mansion again, won't they become turtles in the urn?

Seeing that Xu Ji, Xu Xiang, Xu Wenshu, and Xu Yuhui were full of worry on their faces, Xu Fan sneered, "Those people are just thinking about the wealth and industry of the Xu Mansion. It just so happened that this fire burned the Xu Mansion to the ground. If we don't mention the industries that are distributed all over the place, they will eat them silently. ”

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

Xu Xiang rubbed his somewhat sour forehead and asked in a low voice, "Brother Fan, those properties can be left by the ancestors of the Xu family, if we let go like this, isn't it..."

Xu Fan waved his hand, with a playful sneer in his eyes, "We just want to throw out the industries of the Xu Mansion, these industries will become bait and let them fight to the death." Whether it is the imperial court, Jiangnan officialdom, vassal kings or the forces of the rivers and lakes, they are all staring at our Xu family. We have to give up these things in order to get a respite. ”

Although Xu Fan opened up a cyclone hole, he couldn't resist the use of crowd tactics by the forces lurking in the shadows.

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 glanced at each other and nodded.

Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui got up to appease the only remaining family members and servants in the Xu Mansion.

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

Thinking that when the others in the second, third and fourth rooms left, Xu Fan did not stop him at all, and sent a plate wrapped in silver.

Seeing the current scene of Xu's mansion again, Xu Ji and Xu Xiang both felt a sense of loss in their hearts.

If tonight's fire kills them completely... At least the Xu family still has incense to continue.

Xu Fan looked at the two grandfathers with a straight face, and shook his head with a firm gaze. "I don't know." Thinking of what happened to everyone in the Xu Mansion in the previous life, it can be said that it was white, and no one in the second, third, and fourth rooms ended up well.

Xu Fan couldn't bear the decaying faces of the two grandfathers, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only say with relief. "Grandpa Ji, Grandpa Xiang, you should rest first. After being tired all night, my body can't hold it like this. ”

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

Seeing the trembling bodies of the two slowly disappear at the end of the verandah, Xu Fan stood in the lonely night breeze, overlooking the ruins of the entire Xu Mansion.

"What did you find?"

Bai Luohe didn't know where to return, came to Xu Fan's side, and sighed, "You guessed right, this Mr. Wen is also involved, but I don't know if the Wen family is involved." ”

After a few moments, Bai Luohe continued, "I found the monk in secret. It was one of the two people who took Lu Baishan away before. ”

"Wen Jia, Lu Jia... It's hilarious. More and more people want the Xu family's family business. Xu Fan laughed angrily.

"After all, the Xu family has mastered so many industries in Jiangnan, how can they not be hated. What's next for you? ”

Bai Luohe stroked the hair on his sideburns, and glanced at the shabby gourd tied around Xu Fan's waist.

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

"Since they've already done it, then I won't keep it."

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

I secretly exclaimed in my heart, "Xu Fan, is this going to be the enemy of the entire Qianguo?" What else does he have to rely on? That wine gourd has been destroyed, what else can he rely on to deal with the current crisis? ”

Xu Fan's starry eyes on Bai Luohe, as if he knew what she was thinking, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, "What?" You don't believe it? ”

Bai Luohe snorted lightly, his tone was cold, and he turned his head sideways to look at the layers of rain curtains, "I'm already a grasshopper on the same rope as you, what if I don't believe it?" ”

"yes, sort of. Well, you can go and rest. ”

On this night, many people couldn't sleep.

Wen Hao ordered Wen Si to secretly check with the Wen family's people hidden in Guangling City for a night, and even used his connections in the city defense camp, but still did not find any trace of Lu Baishan and Wen San.

Wang Wenhua worked hard to write and went to Jinling City overnight.

And the other officials of the Guangling Mansion are secretly thinking about everyone's whereabouts.

The city gate of Guangling Mansion was closed, but these officials still had channels to send their news out of the city.

The heavy rain overnight could not stop the fast horses galloping towards Jinling and the fast horse messengers in the palaces of the major families in the city.

And in the Wave Court, the people of Xu's house survived a difficult night.

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

In the rainy night, a low cry was heard from time to time in the Wave Garden.

Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui wandered around the Wave Court overnight, just to appease the remaining relatives.

The next morning, the sky was clear and the wind was clear.

Xu Wenshu took seven or eight family members to the ruins of Xu's Mansion early in the morning and excavated several secret rooms and secret pavilions. Ordered people to go to the market to buy some daily food, fruits and vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish and meat.

Xu Fan stood under the verandah on the second floor, watching Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui arranging for people to distribute breakfast to everyone in the Xu Mansion.

The corpses in the Wave Court had been cleaned up overnight by the government soldiers and government officials, but occasionally blood stains could be seen after the rain washed away.

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

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

I watched several children running on the grass in the courtyard with big smiles on their faces. Xu Fan also saw that his sister was also among them, and five or six young masters and young ladies of the Xu Mansion were playing happily in the courtyard, followed by a group of maids.

Only then did I think of Mrs. Wang, she 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 on the grass seven or eight feet away, and the sadness on their faces finally had a hint of relief.

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

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

Fortunately, my own men are fine.

After breakfast, Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui gathered the Xu Mansion and the others in front of the grass on the island in the middle of the lake.

Everyone in the Xu Mansion looked panicked and quietly waited for the orders of the two masters.

At this time, some of them wanted to escape, but their birth deeds were still in Xufu, and some of them entered Xufu and wanted to leave.

After all, life is one's own, and it is only once.

There were two or three hundred people present, including young maids, sturdy servants, and some old women and old men who drove the car to watch the door.

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

"Many of you are old people from the Xu Mansion, and some of you have just sold yourself into the Xu Mansion." Xu Wenshu glanced at Xu Yuhui, coughed lightly, and walked towards everyone.

"You escaped this disaster with the Xu Mansion. Now Xu Fu is suffering, but we can't let everyone suffer with Xu Fu. After discussing with Master Yuhui, I decided to return the deed of life. If someone wants to leave, Xu Fu will send twenty taels of travel expenses per person. ”

The deed of birth will be returned free of charge, and there will be 20 taels of travel expenses.

The crowd suddenly became lively, and they were frightened all night, many of them wanted to leave the Xu Mansion, and now they had the consent of the old men of the Xu Mansion, how could they not be happy.

"Master Wenshu, I, I still want to stay in the Xu Mansion."

There are also little maids who have escaped, but they have no relatives, and if they leave the Xu Mansion, they don't know where to go, so they muster up the courage to ask.

Xu Wenshu looked in the direction of the sound, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid in the crowd, wearing a torn dress and several burned holes on her body, was looking at him timidly.

Xu Wenshu whispered a few times to Zi'er beside him, and Zi'er quickly took out a brand new robe from the attic and gave it to the little maid.

"Don't be afraid, this is my clothes, you can take it and wear it." Zi'er's calves ran extremely fast, and soon passed through the crowd and came to the little maid, holding a piece of her own clothes in both hands, and encouraging.

"It's... Thank you, Sister Zi'er. The little maid's eyes were filled with tears, and she sobbed.

Xu Wenshu's eyes swept over the crowd again, and saw that many people lowered their heads and choked softly, some missed their family members who died in the fire, and some people were full of confusion about the future and didn't know where to go.

"The Xu Mansion is in trouble today, but the government has not caught the thief. You have to think clearly, if you don't want to leave the Xu Mansion, maybe you will..."

On the other side, Xu Yuhui said in a loud voice, "Master Wenshu's words, have you all heard clearly?" 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 Gate are cunning. Everyone who stays must be mentally prepared. ”

The Xu Mansion is no longer as good as it used to be, there is no prosperous scene in the past, and maybe there will be even more terrible disasters.

Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui hid the matters involving the imperial court, but only focused on the Yinyangmen rebels.

It is the people who hope that Xu Fu will survive can make the most important decision in their hearts.
