Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"I'm going to...what's going on?"

After Ye Fan and Liu Mengying walked into the inner courtyard of the Zeng family mansion, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Because Zeng Rong, Zeng Xizui, and Lai Yile were all dead, and their death conditions were very miserable. There were wounds all over their bodies, and blood spurted everywhere. Their eyes were wide and bloodshot, and the expressions on their faces were They were all extremely frightened, as if they had seen something very terrifying before they died...

The entire inner courtyard of the Zeng family was filled with a strong and pungent smell of blood. Liu Mengying couldn't help but go to the side and vomit...

"Is that purple mist-masked woman just trying to lure me away...?"

Ye Fan muttered in his heart, and immediately, he and Liu Mengying started walking quickly in the Zeng family mansion.

…………

After a while, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying returned to the inner courtyard where they were previously.

"Big brother...everyone in the Zeng family compound is dead..."

Liu Mengying said with a pale face.

"The time we just left was not long, no more than a cup of tea... There were hundreds of people in the Zeng family, but they were exterminated in such a short period of time, and the methods were various, some were suffocated, some were Some drowned, some were burned to death, and some suffered fractures all over their bodies... The other party moved surprisingly fast..."

"The person who used the knife was a bit strange. The wounds on the Zeng family were all messy. It looked like someone had stabbed them randomly... Wait..."

Ye Fan knelt down to observe. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly because he discovered that the wounds on the corpses on the ground, such as knife wounds and sword wounds, were from the inside out...

"What the hell is this wound?"

Ye Fan was puzzled for a while because the wounds on everyone who died in the Zeng family mansion, including Zeng Rong, Zeng Xizui, and Lai Yile, were from the inside out, as if the sword was coming from the inside of the human body. It’s not like stabbing or cutting out from the outside…………

"Ok?"

At this time, Ye Fan suddenly stood up because he noticed someone coming from the gate.

"Huh~ is that you?"

Ye Fan was quite surprised because the person walking towards him at the door of the Zeng family mansion was actually Zhenbei Hou Liuran.

Seeing the person coming, Liu Mengying suddenly became excited. She opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't speak...

After Liu Ran walked into the Zeng family courtyard, he looked around without saying anything. He glanced at Liu Mengying, and then his eyes fell on Ye Fan.

"Look what I'm doing? I didn't kill these people. They were already like this when I came~"

Meeting Liu Ran's gaze, Ye Fan spread his hands helplessly.

"What the elder brother said is true. The Zeng family members were already dead when we came here!"

Liu Mengying immediately picked up the conversation, looking a little anxious, fearing that Liu Ran would misunderstand Ye Fan and want to arrest Ye Fan.

"It is inconvenient to stay here for a long time in the place where the murder was committed. It is best for you two to leave as soon as possible!"

Liu Ran's face remained as usual and she spoke slowly.

"Oh, okay~bye!"

Hearing this, Ye Fan directly pulled Liu Mengying away.

When the two of them passed by Liu Ran, Liu Mengying secretly looked at Liu Ran with her peripheral vision, and found that Liu Ran was also looking at her, and her face immediately turned red... like a child who had lied and been caught on the spot by an adult...

…………..

"Since when did the City Lord have the hobby of being a gentleman?"

After Ye Fan and Liu Mengying left, Liu Ran turned to look at the eaves not far away.

"It can't be compared to the joy of Lord Marquis strolling through the murderous murder of the Zeng family!"

After the words fell, a middle-aged man with a mustache, a pointed mouth, a crooked nose, and slanted eyes appeared in the courtyard. He looked very sinister. He was none other than the lord of Jiangzhou City, Lin He.

Liu Ran didn't respond. He glanced around briefly, turned around and walked towards the doorless door of Zeng's house.

"Master Hou, you seem to be paying too much attention to Ye Fan and that girl named Xiao Douya!"

Just as Liu Ran was about to step across the threshold, Lin He spoke meaningfully.

Hearing this, Liu Ran retracted his right foot mid-step. He turned to look at Lin He and said in a nonchalant manner: "Lord City Lord, aren't you also paying attention to the small wooden house by Yueluo Lake? !”

Although the real reason why Liu Ran paid attention to Ye Fan was Liu Mengying, the fact that Ye Fan and Liu Mengying went to the cabin by Yueluo Lake gave him an honest reason to pay attention to Ye Fan and Liu Mengying, but this fair reason was for Lin He!

"Each each other!"

Lin Hepi replied with a smile.

Liu Ran ignored Lin He and left alone.

…………

After Liu Ran left, Lin He turned around and walked to Lai Yile's body. After looking at it for a while, the figure flashed and disappeared instantly.

the other side,

Chujian Inn,

Qian Duoduo looked at Ye Fan who was eating and drinking with admiration and speechlessness. What he admired was that Ye Fan rescued Liu Mengying so quickly. What he was speechless about was that after Ye Fan killed the Zeng family, he acted like a normal person. Eating and drinking leisurely... He would not think that if the Zeng family sent someone to arrest Liu Mengying, they would obediently hand over Liu Mengying...

"Um...brother Ye Fan, the Zeng family is one of the four small families in Jiangzhou City...why don't you and little Douya go to Qian's house for a while?"

Although Qian Duoduo knew that Ye Fan would not be afraid of the Zeng family after his experience with the Li family, he still spoke.

"Oh, don't worry about the Zeng family... there is no Zeng family among the four small families in Jiangzhou City..."

Ye Fan took a big bite of grilled lamb chops and said vaguely.

"No.........no Zeng family?"

Qian Duoduo looked at Ye Fan in confusion.

"Everyone in the Zeng family is dead... Of course there is no Zeng family anymore~!"

With that said, Ye Fan gave Liu Mengying a bowl of stone olive pork ribs soup.

"Dead...all dead? More than 300 members of the Zeng family, all dead?"

Hearing this, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but take a breath and his scalp went numb.

"Oh~ I didn't do it, I don't know who it is~"

...........

Midnight,

Liu Mengying, who had had a good meal, had already fallen asleep, but Ye Fan was standing on the edge of the terrace, but he was not sleepy. He looked in a direction with some worry, which was the direction of the cabin by Yueluo Lake...

In the past few days, he had been thinking about possible clues to the treasure map in that cabin, but he had no clue...

"Hoo!~"

Ye Fan took a deep breath and turned to look at Qian Duoduo, "Qian Duoduo, do you know anything about the small wooden house by Yueluo Lake?"

"Pfft~ cough cough!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo, who was holding a wine glass and drinking to himself, suddenly choked and started coughing.

"The cabin by Yueluo Lake?"

Qian Duoduo put down his wine glass and frowned, "Brother Ye Fan, why are you asking about this? That's the House of Curses, don't have anything to do with it!"

"House of the Curse? What's going on?"

Ye Fan looked at Qian Duoduo with a nervous expression in confusion.
