Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 237: Saving the Wife and the Master - The Whole Family Was Destroyed

Zhou Leng and his group disguised themselves as a merchant caravan again, this time led by Du Lian. They were frequent merchants on this trade route, so they did not attract anyone's attention.

They passed by Panxi Town and stayed there for a day. Du Sheng and his companions walked on the familiar road, saying goodbye to this place completely. Qiu Jing and Chang Cheng, the two young attendants, were kidnapped and sent to Yizhou.

Zhou Leng and his group continued on their way to Nanzhou.

But let’s talk about the Du family.

Ever since Shan Hao found out that Du Mengran was actually a lackey of the imperial court, he angrily questioned him. After the two had a big fight, Du Mengran stayed in Du Fulang's yard every day. After all, they both knew that the other was fake, and they could cover each other up together.

Shan Hao finally realized that Du Mengran didn't love him that much. He left angrily and was killed by Du Mengran and Du Ruo.

When he was dying, Shan Hao stared at Du Ruo and asked, "Who are you?"

After all, Shan Hao and Zhou Leng had fought each other before, and he knew that it would not be so difficult for the other party to kill him. He died with his eyes open, but there were more innocent people who died at his hands. It can be seen that those who kill in the world will be killed.

As soon as Shan Hao died, the news leaked out, and the plan to wipe out the entire family, led by Mei Wan Villa, was brought forward.

On the tenth day of May, the moon was bright in the sky and the moonlight was scattered on the earth, clearly illuminating the hidden ghostly figures.

Du Mengran and Du Ruo were in the house, holding weapons, ready for battle.

Whizzing.

The sound of the sharp arrow breaking through the air was very harsh in the silent night.

Poof.

Fires shot up into the sky almost simultaneously from the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest directions of the Du family, showing that they were not unprepared.

The tragedy in the last life of Zhenliang Pavilion was because the core had already evacuated. If they were to fight to the death, the Du family's treasures and foundation for nearly a hundred years would fall into the hands of others.

Du Mengran drew his sword and rushed out, showing great bravery.

The shouts and cries from the Du family woke up everyone in Panxi Town, and many people came over with swords in hand to fight.

The shouts and the sounds of sharp blades breaking through the air intertwined together to form a cruel and bloody scene.

Everyone was blood-thirsty, and everywhere they saw were either enemies or dead bodies.

Taking advantage of the chaos, hidden weapons flew towards Du Mengran's back. At this moment, Zhao Mingfeng used up his last bit of internal strength to fly two meters behind her and blocked those poisoned hidden weapons.

Large mouthfuls of blood spurted out of Zhao Mingfeng's mouth, and his unchanged ending revealed his already scarred desire to die.

"Mingfeng! You!"

Du Mengran took a step forward to pick up the person who had fallen to the ground. She didn't even have time to say another word before the assassin attacked again. She raised her hand and fired a whistling arrow, and several people quickly ran towards the yard where Shan Hao lived.

"Du Ruo, hurry up and leave." Du Mengran shouted loudly.

Du Ruo shook his head, and said with relief on his face: "I'll stay, you go quickly." After he said that, he rushed over to block those who were attacking for the other party, creating an opportunity for the other party to escape.

Du Mengran's eyes were bloodshot, she gritted her teeth and ran towards Shan Hao's yard.

No one expected that the secret passage leading to the outside world was located in the courtyard where Shan Hao of the Du family lived in Meiwan Villa.

Du Mengran was followed by five or six assassins. When they arrived at Shan Hao's yard, they were besieged and killed by a dozen people who were waiting there.

The crowd set fire to all the houses and only opened the secret passage after confirming that there was no one around. After they left, the secret passage returned to its original state.

These people walked quickly in the secret passage for an hour before reaching the exit. The exit was no longer within the town. It was a teahouse opened on the roadside that had been there for many years and had never attracted anyone's attention.

More than a dozen people crawled out from under the bed in the owner's room. Fortunately, the owner knew not to rest in this room during the next few days, otherwise he would have been scared to death.

Everyone took off their human skin masks, changed their clothes and should have been meditating or resting, but they all looked out the window towards Panxi Town where they could no longer see what was going on.

Under the mask was a pretty face, with facial features similar to Du Mengran's, but her features were more delicate, and her voice was colder without any disguise. She also had her own name - Du Yi.

Someone asked: "Boss, are we just leaving like this?"

Du Yi said calmly:

"Let's go to Panxi Town tomorrow and do our duty. We shouldn't think too much about the master's decision. Do you want to live like someone else for the rest of your life? When we get to Yizhou, we can live like ourselves!"

After a moment of silence, those people all sat in meditation.

The next day.

Du Yi and his friends dressed up as swordsmen and went to Panxi Town. They were all strangers and said they wanted to seek medical treatment in Panxi Town.

There was nothing unusual along the way until they entered Panxi Town, when they saw black ash scattered everywhere, completely covering this originally prosperous town with a layer of shadow.

The pedestrians on the road all had blood on their bodies or had obvious wounds bandaged.

There were horse-drawn carriages parked in front of many shops on both sides of the road, and they seemed to be moving things as if they were moving away.

Du Yi stopped someone and asked:

"Brother, what happened in Panxi Town? My brother and I came here to seek medical help. Is there a fire?"

The man said with great sadness:

"We were attacked last night and the Du family is all gone. Why are you still seeking medical help? Go back. Everything is burned. There are charred bodies everywhere. We who are dependent on them are also planning to pack up and leave."

Du Yi wanted to say something, but the man bowed and left.

They walked along the familiar road, and at the end of the road they saw that the place that used to be the Du Mansion had turned into a pile of broken walls and ruins.

Someone was crying out beside the ruins:

"Where did this evil thief come from? Even a good family like the Du family could be wiped out by that thief."

Someone in the crowd whispered:

"I heard that no one came out alive. My brother received kindness from the Du family, and he also took a knife to fight the thieves last night. My brother was stabbed several times and is now recuperating at home. I heard him say that the thieves only killed people from the Du family, and they were obviously outsiders helping, so they didn't kill them. Otherwise, my desperate brother would really be dead."

Another person said, "My father is old, but he insisted on helping. As a result, he had one arm chopped off. He also said that those people only killed members of the Du family. I heard that Pavilion Master Du was not found in the end. I don't know if the Pavilion Master escaped, but all the husbands died. What a pity!"

Someone answered and said:

"I heard that Mr. Zhao blocked a hidden weapon for his wife, and Mr. Du also died in the end. Now it's hard to tell who is who among these corpses. When the thieves left, the fire was out of control. I also went to put it out, but the fire was too big and it was all burned to ashes."

At this moment, someone came from a distance beating a gong, and she shouted loudly:

"The Du family has been very kind to us. Now we need to bury them. Those who have money can contribute money, and those who have strength can contribute strength. Let's find the bodies and bury them."

Du and his group also joined the team to carry the bodies, dig pits, and bury the bodies.

On the hillside outside Panxi Town, there were many similar tombstones, with the simple wooden plaques all bearing the name Du. Since their faces were no longer recognizable, only their surnames could be written.
