Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years.

Chapter 175: Strange changes in the Zhang family mansion!

The Zhang family was originally a small wealthy businessman in the provincial capital, selling silk cloth in the provincial capital.

The Zhang family even got involved in the cloth business in the towns outside the city.

Half a year ago, Zhang Fusheng, the eldest son of the Zhang family, went to take the provincial examination and won the first place in one fell swoop, becoming a scholar of Jingtai Mansion.

This also made the Zhang family famous for a while, but the Zhang family did not know that this incident also brought them a terrible disaster.

Because among those who took part in the prefectural examination was Xiao Chenliang, the third son of the prefect of Jingtai Prefecture.

Before the provincial examination that day, Xiao Chenliang had already sent people to warn all the candidates.

This time, he is the only one qualified to be the scholar of Jingtai Mansion.

Anyone who dares to disobey his orders will die.

The result is predictable. Zhang Fusheng became a scholar, but within less than half a year, his family was broken up.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. Another reason is Zhang Yingxue, the daughter of the Zhang family.

It is said that Xiao Chenliang once fell in love with Zhang Yingxue and wanted to marry her as a concubine, but was rejected by Zhang Yingxue.

Zhang Yingxue even said frankly that she had a lover, Wei Zhize, the young master of the Wei family and her childhood sweetheart.

However, after Xiao Chenliang made the announcement, all members of the Wei family, young and old, left the city.

Wei Zhichen, the lover Zhang Yingxue had been longing for, disappeared without a trace without saying a word.

…………

After hearing these words, Lu Xuan's frown relaxed and he prepared to get up and leave.

It seems that the source of the evil energy is most likely in the Zhang family mansion.

In the south city, there is an area where people gather, surrounded by various mansions and buildings.

However, in this area full of mansions, one of the main streets is sparsely populated and appears particularly deserted.

There is no other reason, because there is a big house in the center of this street.

On the door lintel of the mansion, there was a crookedly hanging plaque with the two big words "Zhang Family" written on it.

Outside the Zhang family's house, stood a middle-aged man in his thirties.

The man was wearing a black short robe and holding a big knife in his hand.

But the man guarding the Zhang family mansion looked sloppy.

He pressed the tip of the knife against the ground, then leaned his body toward the blade, as if trying to use the hard blade to make himself stand more comfortably.

The middle-aged man glanced at the empty streets around him and felt extremely bored.

Then, the middle-aged man cursed inwardly.

"Bah, what a bad luck!"

"I don't know how long I'll have to keep up this damn mission."

"Why haven't Brother Li and the others come back yet? I'm almost starving to death."

After the middle-aged man cursed inwardly, he suddenly remembered something good and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"However, Zhang Yingxue, this crazy woman, still has a different flavor."

"As expected of a lady from a wealthy family, the daughter of the Zhang family, with delicate skin and tender flesh."

"Thanks to Master Xiao's kindness, we peasants can enjoy such a beauty."

"It's such a pity that before I could have enough fun, that crazy woman took the opportunity to disfigure me."

"Otherwise, I'll go find her for some fun."

Just as the man recalled what happened with that graceful body.

Pop, pop, pop!
From inside the Zhang family mansion, there were sounds of something hitting something hard.

After hearing the noise, the man quickly picked up the knife that was standing on the ground.

"what?"

"Didn't I tie up that crazy woman?"

"Why is there still movement in there?" "Could it be that I didn't tie it up tightly enough and let that crazy woman break free?"

After the man thought of this possibility, he hurriedly ran towards the Zhang family mansion.

He tied up that crazy woman Zhang Yingxue just to get some fresh air.

Now that the crazy woman Zhang Yingxue has broken free from her restraints, who knows what crazy things she will do.

Young Master Xiao has already ordered that Zhang Yingxue must not die before he has had enough fun.

Because Xiao Chenliang wanted to make Zhang Yingxue fall into despair and pain.

Let her know the consequences of her decision to disobey herself.

Xiao Chenliang's inhumane behavior even frightened the ruthless Black Hawk Gang.

The man trotted all the way to the place where Zhang Yingxue was imprisoned.

That is the ancestral hall courtyard of the Zhang family mansion.

In the courtyard, there was a woman wearing a tattered red dress, with her hair covered in mud and stained, disheveled and draped over her shoulders.

The woman was facing away from the gate, looking at the altar in the middle of the courtyard.

But what was suffocating was what was on the altar in the ancestral hall in front of the woman.

What was enshrined there were not the usual spirit tablets, but a dozen or so spherical objects.

The spherical object still has a lot of hair, but it has been dyed dark black.

It seems that those are all dried blood!
That’s right, those were the heads of the Zhang family, and they were Zhang Yingxue’s closest relatives.

The heads that Zhang Yingxue has to face every day are from these people she loves the most.

The man just now walked in from the courtyard gate.

When he saw Zhang Yingxue standing there blankly, the nervousness in his heart finally relaxed.

Then, the man walked towards Zhang Yingxue cursing.
"Damn it, you damn crazy woman, I actually let you break free."

When he was less than half a meter away from Zhang Yingxue, a fierce light flashed in the man's eyes, and he raised his right foot and kicked towards Zhang Yingxue.

"Dare to disobey Master Xiao's orders, this is what will happen to your Zhang family!"

However, when the man kicked forward, there seemed to be no obstruction.

The man's right foot went straight through Zhang Yingxue's body.

“This, this, this, you…”

After this scene happened, the man's mind went blank and his body stiffened.

A cold breeze blew by, and the tattered red skirt draped over Zhang Yingxue was gently lifted up.

The scene beneath the red skirt was reflected deep in the man's pupils.

That's a skeleton!
Zhang Yingxue's body turned into bones?
She turned into a ghost?
This was the last thought in the man’s mind!
Because, in his eyes, Zhang Yingxue had slowly turned her head, a 180-degree turn.

Zhang Yingxue's terrifying face made the man's hair stand on end, and a faint chill surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

It was a pale and cold face, covered with scars like spider webs, and the eyes were white like the beads of dead fish.

"ghost!"

"save………"

Before the man could finish his words, his body began to rot rapidly in broad daylight.

Finally, it turned into white ash powder and sprinkled on the ground.

"Where's Zhou Yifei?"

"Didn't this bastard just tell us that he was waiting for us in front of the house?"

"He should be guarding that woman Zhang Yingxue. Let's go in and take a look."

At this time, four figures appeared outside the courtyard.

It was the person Lu Xuan had met in the inn before.
