Jinghong Tower

"You, how big a house do you want to buy?"

The Seventeenth Master suppressed his anger and glanced at the dagger in He Ran's hand from time to time.

This is really not fear, he just has no shame in this kind of dandy behavior.

"Oh, what kind of houses do you have here?"

He Ran heard Dong Gua say that in the early years, many descendants of the Zhou family sold their ancestral homes and left without saying goodbye. As a result, only a few people worshiped their ancestors and opened ancestral halls every year. Therefore, the clan had stipulated as early as ten years ago that each family If you want to sell your house, you must inform the clan and ask for permission before they can sell it.

As a result, fewer people are selling their ancestral homes, but the conflicts within the clan have become even greater.

But no matter what, if you want to buy a house in Zhoujiapu now, you must go through the seventeenth prince, who is the most senior.

The Seventeenth Prince is the same generation as Zhou Chi, but he is much younger than Zhou Chi. He is only in his early fifties this year. He is skinny and has a goatee, an appearance that Master He dislikes.

Therefore, Master He did not give him a good look. On the contrary, the Seventeenth Prince was frightened by her, and half of his original confidence was lost.

"Yes, there are three places, one with three entrances, one with two entrances, and one with five entrances separated by a courtyard. They are sold for half."

He Ran snorted: "You don't have three places here, it's clearly only two and a half. That's not enough. I have a lot of people in my family."

The Seventeenth Grandpa wants to scold me. With the way you are dressed, I will never believe that you really want to move here when you buy this house. Although Zhoujiapu is famous, it is not in the city after all. Most of the people who come here to buy a house are here for the purpose. That bit of dragon energy.

Buy a house here, send a few servants to stay here to take care of it, and then place ancestral tablets in the house. Maybe you can also ask a Feng Shui master to come and look at it and display it, so that your house can be imbued with the dragon spirit here.

"There are only these, not much." The Seventeenth Grand Master was a little impatient. Even though the current Zhou Family Fort is not as good as before, there is really no need to worry about selling the house. Although the clan has intervened in these years, it can still be sold for two yuan every year. Three places.

He Ran said oh again, and suddenly shot his eyes at the Seventeenth Master like a cold arrow: "What if I buy your house?"

The Seventeenth Grandpa was startled, thinking he heard wrongly: "What did you say?"

Before He Ran could speak, Xiaoli beside him said angrily: "My master said that he wants to buy your house."

This time, the Seventeenth Prince heard it clearly. He smiled and laughed: "Young Master, I'm afraid you don't know. My Zhou family has lived here for generations. Not to mention that you want to buy it, even if the imperial court comes here to acquire land, I won't do it." leave."

He Ran sneered: "You really won't leave? As far as I know, the Seventeenth Prince has been lining his own pockets since he took over the affairs of the clan. You just made money from the house you sold last month." Five hundred taels, and that time five months ago."

The face of the Seventeenth Master changed drastically: "Don't talk nonsense, I"

"What are you doing?" He Ran stood up, leaned his upper body forward, and inserted the dagger into the table with a snap. "I'll give you five days. I'll take over the house in five days. As for the price, one hundred taels for one entry and two for two. Two hundred taels for the three, three hundred taels for the third, and five hundred taels for the fifth.”

The Seventeenth Grandpa instinctively refused: "This is too cheap, no, no."

Just kidding, his family originally had three houses, but in the past two years, they have acquired four more houses from others, a total of seven houses. He has the most houses in Zhoujiapu. At this price, he will lose money to death.

"No, right?" He Ran shook her head at Jin Bo behind her, "Take it out and give it to him!"

Jin Bo took out a cloth bag from his body, unfolded it and saw that inside was a swaddling bag for a child, with a quaint Chinese character "Xiu" written on it.

"This" the Seventeenth Grandpa was sweating like rain. He wrote the revised characters, and the woman embroidered them on her swaddling clothes. He Ran smiled coldly: "You have taken over your nephew's wife with the dignity of the clan leader. Do you think this little brother Xiu should call you daddy or uncle? Oh, by the way, this child is only three months old. , his nominal biological father must have drowned to death, which is a coincidence, how about we investigate this matter in detail?"

"You, you, you" Mr. Seventeen was weak and shaky.

He Ran snorted coldly: "I'll give you five days. Get out of here within five days. I've taken a liking to your place!"

After He Ran finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left. Several people came and left just as quickly.

Last night, she went to see Zhou Cangyue, and Liu Xia and the others were not idle either. Dong Gua was a child and had a foreign surname, so he didn't know much.

There was no one guarding Zhoujia Fort at night, so he could come and go as he pleased. When Liuxia went out to take a look, she saw a beggar sneaking around, whom she had not seen during the day. Liuxia was worried that this man would be harmful to the head of the family, so she caught him and asked him. It turned out that he was also a beggar from the Zhou family. A man from the fort, he was killed by the clan leader, but he survived by chance, and he came back to take revenge.

He Ran was originally planning to leave the next day, but when she saw this man, she changed her mind.

It’s not a bad idea to buy a house in Zhoujiapu.

This Zhoujiabao is a good place.

After walking out of the Seventeenth Master's house, He Ran said to Xiaoli: "Go and take Tang Yu and Donggua with you. If they stay here, they won't survive tomorrow."

He Ran took Xiaoli to Pingyang City, while Liuxia and the others stayed in Zhoujiapu, urging the Seventeenth Grand Master to vacate the house.

Miss Tang and Dong Gua were caught on horseback in a daze, and when they arrived in Pingyang City, He Ran said: "I have caused trouble for you, and I am afraid I will bring you a fatal disaster, so I want you to stay in an inn first. In a few days, when we take over the house, we will send you back."

The siblings were shocked, frightened, and at a loss. The next day, Donggua quietly took a mule cart delivering vegetables and returned to Zhoujiapu.

When he walked forward, He Ran knew he was walking behind, and she didn't stop him.

Before Winter Melon entered Zhoujia Fort, he saw Fat Brother. When Fat Brother saw him, he dragged him to the woods outside the castle: "Why are you coming back? The Seventeenth Master sent people to your house to look for him last night. It's too cruel to pass you, thanks to the fact that you and your sister are not here."

"Where's my grandpa? He doesn't care?" Donggua asked in a daze.

"He doesn't care. He led the steward of the Seventeenth Master's house. Your grandfather opened the locked door with an axe. He also said that you and your sister are debt collectors."

The fat brother feels a little sorry for this little brother. Back then, his grandfather married his mother off to fill a house for money, and his daughter was tortured to death. The two children couldn't survive and turned to him, but he ignored him. , and now they are helping outsiders bully them, which is really not a good thing.

Donggua came back in despair and did not leave the inn for the next few days.

He Ran was not at the inn either. She went to Fenzhou, where there was a Jinghong Tower.

The current manager of Fenzhou Jinghong Tower is Xiaokui's third daughter, Taogu.

Taogu never expected that the boss would suddenly appear in front of her.

After checking the seal written by the headmaster, Tao Gu knelt down and kowtowed three times.

After kowtowing, he got down to business: "Master, you are here at the right time. I have just received news that the King of Jin has begun recruiting troops." (End of this chapter)
