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

"Brother Ye Fan, there are many wealthy businessmen and nobles in Jiangzhou City. The small wooden house on the bank of Yueluo Lake is in an excellent location. It stands to reason that with such a good location, someone must want to build tall buildings and build courtyards there, but there is no one... You Do you know why?"

Qian Duoduo looked at Ye Fan mysteriously.

"why?"

Ye Fan followed Qian Duoduo's words and continued.

"It's because that cabin is extremely weird... the people who have something to do with that cabin... are either dead or missing... there are many powerful people among them... As long as I can remember, without exception..."

After a pause, Qian Duoduo spoke again, "Brother Ye Fan, if you want to find a good place to live, I have many properties in Jiangzhou City, and the locations are good. Please take some time, and we can go pick them out together! "

"Oh, let's talk about it~"

Ye Fan changed the subject, "Speaking of which, Qian Duoduo, do you know what is going on with Princess Ying, daughter of Zhenbei Hou Liuran, getting married?"

"this………."

Qian Duoduo frowned slightly, "There is indeed such a thing...but there are rumors that Princess Ying disappeared on the way to get married...but it has not been officially recognized...what is it at the moment? The situation is not very clear..."

"That's it... It stands to reason that this daughter's marriage is a happy event... But there seems to be no festive atmosphere in Zhenbei Hou Mansion... I went to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to attend a banquet before, and there was no Zhang there. Decorated with lights..."

"And I also heard from the people that Princess Ying is very pitiful... she was forced to go to the wilderness to get married..."

After a pause, Ye Fan spoke again.

"Actually...it's not a secret..."

Qian Duoduo let out a long sigh, "Many discerning people can see that this marriage is a further restriction and test by the Mingyuan Empire royal family on Zhenbei Hou Liu Ran..."

"The royal family of the Mingyuan Empire? Restrictions and temptations?"

Ye Fan frowned, "Didn't this Zhenbei Marquis make great contributions to the Mingyuan Empire? What is this royal family doing?"

"Hi~!"

Qian Duoduo sighed again, "Yes... The Marquis of Zhenbei has indeed made countless contributions to the Mingyuan Empire... The reason why no one dares to invade the huge northern border of the Mingyuan Empire for decades is He... This is also the origin of the title Zhenbei Hou..."

"The Marquis of Zhenbei...added nine tins, he entered the court without being in a hurry, praised and worshiped without being named, went to the palace with swords and shoes, and drank with the king..."

“…………. When passing by the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, civil servants must get off their sedan chairs, and military attaches must dismount their horses. Above the palace, even the kneeling ceremony is not required, and even His Majesty the Emperor must show three courtesy… It can be said that the scenery is endless… …”

"But it's precisely because of this... that Liu Mengying, the only daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, was sent to get married..."

Qian Duoduo's tone was quite emotional. He glanced around with a serious expression and whispered to Ye Fan: "This so-called marriage... is actually to put the only daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei in a place that is out of the control of the Marquis of Zhenbei." , and a place that the royal family can control..."

"The old melon-growing man's books say that his great achievements shocked the master..."

After listening to Qian Duoduo's explanation, Ye Fan suddenly understood, "But Qian Duoduo, according to you, this Zhenbei Hou is really as powerful as you said, so you can refuse it, right? Just find any reason~"

"I'm afraid the former Marquis of Zhenbei is really not a problem..."

Qian Duoduo pondered for a while and then slowly spoke.

"before?"

Ye Fan frowned, "What do you mean?"

"There is just a rumor... It is rumored that Zhenbei Hou was seriously injured in an assassination... and his strength was greatly reduced..."

"In the beginning, there was no city lord in Jiangzhou City, and Zhenbeihou concurrently served as the lord... Soon after the rumors that Zhenbeihou was injured came out... Jiangzhou City suddenly had a city lord, who is now Lin He. ………”

"The background of Lin He is very mysterious... Although there is no evidence... but I guess it is probably related to the capital..."

Qian Duoduo quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"Is that so...that person is still so strong even though he was seriously injured..."

Ye Fan couldn't help but recall the powerful aura he felt from Liu Ran when he first met him at Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

…………

the next day,

Liu Mengying seemed quite tired and didn't get up until noon.

After Liu Mengying had a full meal, she was taken out by Ye Fan to relax, because Ye Fan felt that Liu Mengying might have a psychological shadow after being kidnapped twice in a row.

Qian Duoduo accompanied him. Firstly, he felt that as Ye Fan's new younger brother, he should have a good relationship with his elder brother. Secondly, he was also seriously injured and was just recovering from his injuries...

...........

the other side,

Sifanglou,

Although it's only noon, there are already many people here drinking and having fun.

In a private room,

Three young men with different looks were sitting together drinking. One was the young man with a goatee that Ye Fan had seen at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Zhao Shanjie, and the other had a crooked eyebrow that was quite similar to Zeng Xizui. The young man with a crooked neck is actually Zeng's younger brother, Zeng with a crooked neck.

Not far from Zeng Waibo, he was fanning himself with a fan. He was leisurely looking at a book. Although he was reading, he was drowsy. He was the grandson of the Sun family, one of the four small families in Jiangzhou City. Blog post.

"Master Zhao, why are you so depressed?"

Zeng twisted his neck and poured another glass of wine for Zhao Shanjie.

"Master Zeng, aren't you trying to kill me? I can't afford the title of Master Zhao... That is the title of my brother Zhao Siyi, one of the four young masters of Jiangzhou!"

Although Zhao Shanjie said this, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. It was obvious that Zeng Wook's flattery was very useful.

"But Mr. Zeng, what you said reminds me of an annoying thing..."

After a pause, Zhao Shanjie spoke again, "Do you think Qian Duoduo has awakened Xuanqi? Someone saw Ye Fan going to Xuanhong Pavilion to exchange one pill for ten Xuanyuan Pills... …”

"I've heard that Qian Duoduo has become Ye Fan's little brother... Ye Fan, that boy, may have changed Xuanyuan Pill just for Qian Duoduo..."

"If this allows him to awaken his profound energy, our previous plan may fall short!"

Zhao Shanjie frowned, and as he spoke, he drank all the wine in the glass, as if to suppress the depression in his heart.

"I think Mr. Jie is overly worried. With the financial resources of the Qian family, he might have secretly obtained the Xuanyuan Pill. However, Qian Duoduo has not awakened his original profound energy so far. It is most likely that his talent is really poor..."

"After all, it's not like taking the Xuanyuan Pill will definitely awaken the original profound energy!"

Sun Bowen took up the conversation, obviously not worried that Qian Duoduo might get the Xuanyuan Pill through Ye Fan.

"Master Sun is right!"

Zeng crooked his neck to answer the question, looking quite excited.

"Dong dong dong!~"

At this time, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and then the door of the private room was violently pushed open, and a middle-aged man with sweating profusely and frightened eyes appeared in front of the three of them.

"Zeng... Mr. Zeng, it's bad, something big happened to the Zeng family..."

…………

Ye Fan's side,

Qian Duoduo was a little confused because he, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were walking together and happened to meet a middle-aged man with a big knife on his shoulder who looked very fierce, but he was one of the policemen who arrested Ye Fan before.

Qian Duoduo didn't know how to deal with it. After all, Ye Fan technically escaped from prison and ran away... and now he met the police...

If it were any other agent, he would still have some face with Qian Duoduo, but the person in question was the one who had been instructed by the Li family to arrest Ye Fan...
