The next day, after Madam Li woke up, Lu Jinfeng told her what happened last night. Then he patted his chest and said, "I never thought that when a person is scary, it would actually be so terrifying."

"There is no ghost in this world. If there is ghost, then there is nothing to fear." Lu Jinfeng said, recalling Chen Mu Mu Mu's injury, he sighed.

Although he managed to catch the 'ghost' and didn't let them scare him to death, he still managed to injure Chen Mu Mu.

Thus, compared to these 'ghosts', they had still lost.

Seeing Lu Jinfeng's expression, the Madam Li thought of Chen Mu and asked: "How is the girl now? Didn't you say that Xiao Xiangzi had injured her? "

"One of my ribs was broken, and I suffered some internal injuries. I think I'll need to rest for a few days." Lu Jinfeng replied with a gloomy expression.

Chen Mu Mu let the Daoist Priest go, saying that it was an injustice to settle, but that Daoist Priest had truly offended him.

The next time they meet, he would beat up that Taoist until even his mother wouldn't be able to recognize him!

"It's that serious?" Madam Li took a deep breath and walked towards the guest room while leaning on his walking stick. "I have to go check on Mu Mu's injuries."

If it wasn't for her holding him back last night, that girl probably wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

After all, that lass Chen Mu Mu Mu was extremely quick to think of ways to deal with her. It wasn't easy for an average person to deal with her.

Madam Li blamed himself.

"It's because I was too timid and fainted from fear. As an elder, not only did I not set a good example and did not take good care of my daughter, I even made things difficult for her. It was my fault."

"It has nothing to do with you." Lu Jinfeng also sighed, and said, "It was all our negligence."

Chen Mu Mu's injury was related to their family.

If they had come earlier, she would not have suffered.

Thinking about how Xiao Xiangzi almost strangled Chen Mu Mu, Lu Jinfeng's fists unconsciously tightened.

He regretted not letting that Taoist go.

The mother and son pair had their own thoughts and walked towards the guest room's small courtyard, but when they reached the entrance, they bumped into Chen Ergou who was rushing over from behind.

"Big brother, why are you so rash this early in the morning? What happened?" After stabilizing the Madam Li, Lu Jinfeng was just about to scold Chen Ergou, but he saw that his expression was extremely ugly and weird, with a bit of fear and unease in his eyes, he immediately asked.

"Let's talk after meeting Mu Mu." Chen Ergou helped the Madam Li in. After entering the room, he sat on a chair. His expression was a little absent-minded, as if … Fear?

Chen Mu Mu Mu naturally noticed this situation and felt that something was amiss. He asked Chen Ergou, "Big Brother, didn't you go to Old Guo's house to buy some fresh fish in the morning?

When Chen Ergou heard Chen Mu's words, he finally swallowed his saliva. With an expression of disbelief and fear, he said, "Little sister, don't ask any questions first. Let me slow down."

Although Chen Ergou was a rascal, he had a lot of guts. He was rarely this flustered, thus, it was early in the morning and all the people in the courtyard were captivated by Chen Ergou's actions.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't make us tremble." Chen Mu was displeased.

Chen Ergou carefully looked at her face, then said: "Mother, Xiao Feng, Mu, Lu Daquan's family are all dead."

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding the hearts of the three people in the room.

Madam Li's face was pale as he asked, "Who died?"

Last night, Madam Luo and Madam Niu had just come to their house to 'visit'. If they went back and died, could it be …

"Don't worry, we didn't do anything to them last night." Lu Jinfeng hurriedly explained, her tone sounding somewhat glad, "Madam Niu and Madam Luo almost returned home in one piece."

So even if those two died, it was for other reasons that had nothing to do with the family.

Lu Jinfeng's words were like a peace of mind, reassuring everyone.

However, Chen Ergou's face still did not look good. After dawdling for a while, she said with a lingering fear: "All the people in the Lu family's main house have all died."

Afraid that no one could understand, Chen Ergou explained: "Lu Daquan, Madam Niu, Madam Luo, including that child Little Fatty, all of them are dead."

Annihilation?

All three of them felt their hearts skip a beat as a chill ran down their spines.

They were all ordinary people, different from those assassins who lick blood from the blade. They would beat others up to teach them a lesson, but they respected their own lives and wouldn't easily kill them.

But the people who had killed the people from the Lu family's mansion had killed all four members of the Lu family, not even sparing a child. How cruel was that!

The most terrifying thing was, if it was the annihilation of their clan, why did they not bring the Madam Niu and the rest along when they killed them?

Although their family was not on good terms with Madam Niu and the others, in the eyes of the conservative villagers, they were still a family.

Why didn't those people kill them?

Lu Jinfeng was silent for a moment, then looked at Chen Ergou: "Other than the dead, is there anything else happening in that house?"

"The gold and jewels are gone." Chen Ergou's eyes were filled with shock and shock, "It seems that all the valuables in the Lu family's household had evaporated overnight. The people who killed Lu Daquan's family were all rushing for the money."

"Heavens!" Madam Li screamed and sat on the chair.

"Sure enough, that 10 thousand gold is a disaster. Whoever gets it will suffer!"

Lu Jinfeng looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu, his fists clenched tightly: "What do you think?"

Although the one who died was Lu Daquan's family, and their family had never been good to them, so if they died, he would not pity them, but if these people died, then their family would be implicated, that would be a problem.

"Obviously, Ergou is right. He's asking for money." Although they were shocked by their cruel methods, they were still within their expectations, "People who possess ten thousand taels of gold and two boxes of jewelry, they are definitely not ordinary people. This is not a small amount of wealth, it is definitely useful for those people. Now that Lu Daquan and the rest have dug out the gold, silver and gold treasures, and taken their money, and even exposed where their money is, it would be weird if the people behind them do not get angry from the embarrassment. "

A bad person would always suffer from resentment. If the bad things were too bad, then the resentment value would be even higher.

However, she had guessed that those people would not let it go easily. She hadn't thought that their methods would be so cruel that they could kill a few members of the Lu family in one night.

And at such a fast speed.

He had only found gold during the day, but his entire family was exterminated at night.

"This news spread quite quickly."

The villagers of Xingyu Village were mostly honest farmers. Normally, people with ability wouldn't be willing to live in seclusion in a remote village. Even if they wanted to live in seclusion, they wouldn't look for such a poor place.

Thus, most likely, those people were not from Xingyu Village.

He wasn't a villager of the Apricot Rain Village, yet he received the news so quickly. This caused everyone to be lost in thought.

"It's either the people in Xingyu Village who are the informants or the people in Xingyu Village who are the informants." Lu Jinfeng said.

"Not necessarily." Chen Ergou shook his head, "Yesterday, when I dug up some gold, Madam Luo was exceptionally happy. He took out two gold ingots and brought it to the town to exchange for broken silver so that he could send it to the villagers. Maybe it was at that time, that the people outside saw it."

Thus, if one did not reveal their wealth and did not have the ability to guard it, they would be courting death.

Chen Mu Mu sighed, "This must be the result of my vanity in killing others."

"If only I had told them earlier." Madam Li's eyes revealed pain, "That money is a disaster, whoever touches it will be unlucky. If I told them earlier, they wouldn't have died if they didn't take the gold."

"Stupid!" Lu Jinfeng could not help but berate his own mother, "Mother, what a time, you're still in the mood to push the blame onto yourself!"

Forget about the lives of Lu Daquan and the others, even if Madam Li was willing to advise Lu Daquan's family to not touch the gold, putting such a huge amount of wealth in front of them, how could they move against him?

"Mom, even if you wanted to remind me, you wouldn't wake up the person who pretended to be asleep." Chen Mu Mu Mu said, "Greed can kill people, Madam Niu already knew that there was something good under our old house, even if you reminded her a thousand times, she wouldn't listen to it."

It might even be counterproductive.

After all, everyone knew how the old house became the Madam Niu's family's property.

No matter what methods she used to steal something, even if someone told her that it was poisonous, she would only think that it was a method that others used to compete with her.

"But they are Xiao Feng's relatives after all." Madam Li rubbed his eyebrows, his expression mournful. "If I had known that I had hidden the truth and did not tell Madam Niu, I would have hated you from the bottom of the well."

"Then let's hate him. He himself was killed by that family, how could he have the face to hate us?" Lu Jinfeng snorted, "If not for Chen Mu, my mother would probably not be in this world anymore. I don't have that kind of family. Mother, you are not allowed to recognize them as family. "

Pausing for a moment, he asked Madam Li, "Where is the piece of leather that my father left behind?"

"What's wrong with me?" The Madam Li looked at Lu Jinfeng with sorrow.

"Give it to me." Lu Jinfeng's tone was a little hurried as he said to Chen Ergou, "Go outside and guard. If you see anyone coming, stall for time."

"This …" Chen Ergou was a little at a loss.

"Hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to wash ourselves even if we jump into the Yellow River." Seeing the hesitation in the other party's eyes, Chen Mu bellowed.

Hearing that, Chen Ergou seemed to have thought of something, his face turned white and he quickly turned to leave.

The Madam Li had already taken out the cow skin, Lu Jinfeng took it, found a candlestick, and lit it.

Madam Li still had not reacted and his eyes were wide open: "Xiao Feng, this is a treasure left behind by your father, how can you burn it?"

Her husband didn't leave her much. She still wanted to think about her husband through his handwriting.

Lu Jinfeng's actions, were simply unfilial!

"The constable should be arriving soon." Lu Jinfeng did not look back as he continued, "Mother, we must never tell anyone about the matter of the ten thousand gold."

Otherwise, under the guidance of someone, they would be the ones to lure the trouble into the east and deliberately frame Lu Daquan's family.

They'd have to go to jail.

They might even get targeted by the killer of the gold, or throw dirty water at their family.

Regardless of which one it was, to them, it was not a good thing.
