n

n

nBang! Bang!

n

nXiao ran knocked his head with his hand and glared at him.”Let’s talk about our own business.”

n

n“Let’s go to the residence first. I’m preparing some things. ”

n

nGold one opened the door, and the group of people entered the manor.

n

nLing Ji was dumbfounded when he saw how big Xiao ran’s house was. He asked curiously,”brother-in-law, is the house price in the capital very cheap?”

n

n“Where are the ghosts?” Gu qiuhe rolled his eyes.

n

n“This is Jing Wen Fang, one of the better locations in the capital. The houses here are extremely expensive. When uncle Xiao bought it, the price was slightly better. A house could cost from a few hundred thousand to a million taels. These houses you see here have more than twenty connected houses. After uncle Xiao bought them and renovated them, he spent tens of millions of taels in total.”

n

nHe paused for a moment.

n

n“The price of the houses has risen sharply. Just this courtyard alone (more than twenty houses) will cost at least 100 million taels of silver to buy more.”

n

n“It’s that expensive?” Ling Ji was stunned.

n

n“Yes.” Gu qiuhe nodded.

n

nIn the study.

n

nXiao ran told them to drink tea outside and went in. He took out the Saint finishing brush and a special piece of paper and began to draw with the Vermilion bird’s blood essence.

n

nHe drew Shi Ming and Fu Yujing together. The background was a storm, and a ray of sunlight appeared in the sky. They were leaning against the window, looking at the clear sky after the rain, and even used a literary aura.

n

nShe waited until he finished writing.

n

nWhite spiritual light flickered and illuminated the painting.

n

nWith his painting skills that returned to the original, coupled with the spiritual treasure finishing touch pen and the Vermilion bird’s blood essence as a guide, how could the painting he made be ordinary?

n

nJust the literary Qi contained in it was extremely shocking.

n

nIn addition to the painting’s own Foundation, it was able to burst out a full-power attack of the profound Grandmaster realm, making it even more extraordinary.

n

n“Not bad.” Xiao ran smiled in satisfaction.

n

nHe kept the painting and took out two bottles of dragon blood.

n

nThese two items were the main points.

n

nAfter doing all this, he walked out.

n

nGu qiuhe stood up hurriedly.”Uncle Xiao, are you ready?”

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

n

n“Let’s go,”he said.

n

nThe group of people left the fu residence and rushed towards it.

n

nAlong the way.

n

nThe rain was pulled to the side by a huge force, and it couldn’t fall on them. Even the gifts were clean.

n

nThe raindrops on the ground evaporated before they even arrived.

n

nWhen they reached the Vermilion Bird Avenue, they ran into a group of uninvited guests.

n

nThe leader of the people from the third Prince’s residence was PEI Tao.

n

nHe had led his men to search for Nong Hua for an entire night, but they had still not found his whereabouts. Now, they were still continuing to search, expanding the scope and sending out more people.

n

nThe two groups of people looked at each other from ten steps away.

n

nPEI Tao recognized Xiao ran and the others, but Xiao ran did not recognize him. Gu qiuhe, on the other hand, did.

n

n“Uncle Xiao, this is PEI Tao, the Butler of the third Prince’s residence.”

n

nPEI Tao took a step forward and greeted them with a smile.”Greetings, Lord Xiao, senior Jian, and young master Gu.”

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

n

nAs the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling person.

n

n“Lord Xiao, what are you all doing?”

n

n“Fu residence’s marriage proposal.” Xiao ran said. It was not difficult to find out about this matter, and it had probably been spread out long ago.

n

n“So it’s about scholar Shi. Congratulations!” PEI Tao said.

n

n“What are you guys doing?”

n

n“To tell you the truth, Your Highness’s concubine went back to her mother’s home yesterday. The entire family was destroyed, and even she disappeared. We’re currently searching for her.” PEI Tao did not hide anything.

n

nSuch a big thing had happened, and they had been searching for an entire night.

n

nGiven Xiao ran’s influence, he should have known about this.

n

nRather than hiding it, it was better to say it out loud.

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

n

n“Move! Let Lord Xiao and the others go over. ” PEI Tao waved his hand and ordered.

n

nXiao ran left with his men.

n

nAfter they left, PEI Tao and his men continued their search.

n

nLooking at Gu qiuhe, Xiao ran asked,”did something happen last night?”

n

n“Uncle Xiao, you don’t know?” Gu qiuhe was shocked.

n

n“I’ve been staying in the residence. I didn’t return to the divine sword guards or go to the Imperial prison. I don’t know what’s going on outside. ”

n

n“No wonder.” Gu qiuhe understood and told her everything he knew.

n

n“Two major events happened yesterday. The first was that the second Prince’s concubine, Jiang Fei, and the third Prince’s concubine, Nong Fei, went missing. They almost turned the capital upside down, but the second Prince was quite lucky to find Jiang Fei. However, the third Prince’s luck is a little worse. He still hasn’t found the concubine. ”

n

n“What about the other matter?” Xiao ran asked.

n

n“The entire family of concubine Nong’s maiden family has been annihilated.”

n

n“Farmer clan?” Xiao ran frowned.

n

n“Uncle Xiao, you know?”

n

n“I think I know.” Xiao ran nodded.

n

n“Yesterday, I met a friend who happened to pass by the farmer’s mansion. When I arrived, they had already been exterminated. There was no one alive in their entire family. Their deaths were very miserable. Including the patriarch of the farmer clan, Nong Meng, none of them were left alive. ”

n

nHiss!

n

nGu qiuhe gasped in shock.”Isn’t this person too ruthless?”

n

n“It’s getting more and more difficult to celebrate the new year in these troubled times. ” Xiao ran shook his head and sighed.

n

n“Yup!” Gu qiuhe felt the same.

n

n“When will this chaotic situation end?”

n

n“Today is Shi Ming’s engagement, let’s not talk about these trivial matters.” Xiao ran said.

n

nThe group of people continued on their way, hurrying towards the fu residence.

n

nAt this point.

n

nThe guards of the fu residence had already received the news that Xiao ran and his group were coming over. They had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw them coming, one of them hurriedly entered the residence to report, and the rest of the people quickly came forward to welcome them.

n

nAfter carrying the things in, he brought the servants to the side hall where a banquet was prepared.
