Chapter 74 Wang's expansion! Shouzhe has a great appetite
…
Huangfu Jinhuan saw this scene from a distance, and his eyes darkened a bit.
He snorted with disdain and sat directly on his seat with his hands behind his back, his eyes half-closed, as if he was thinking about something.
Suddenly.
Lei Yangyu's loud laughter came from the side: "Brother Jinhuan, you look good~"
"Humph!" Huangfu Jinhuan opened his eyes, his face gloomy, "Lei Yangyu, what do you want to say?"
"Sorry, I'm just curious." Lei Yangyu laughed and said, "Your family has committed such a big incident. Are you coming here today to take pictures of the former Ma Huangfu family's property?"
Huangfu Jinhuan's eyelids twitched twice, and he replied with a sneer: "Lei Yangyu, what does the matter of our Huangfu family have to do with you? Is it possible that I can still watch the property of the branch fall into the hands of others?"
"Hahaha~" Lei Yangyu laughed, "I just heard a big joke. Your Heavenly Man Huangfu clan has tricked the former Ma Huangfu clan to death, letting them take the blame, and even killed people to silence them.
In the end, I will annex other people's property. What a good strategy, really a good strategy!"
Lei Yangyu's voice was so loud that even the onlookers heard it. Everyone couldn't help but have a standard melon-eating expression on their faces, and they started talking secretly.
From ancient times to the present, ordinary people are fond of seeing and seeing all kinds of melons and enjoy eating them.
As for the heads of those eighth-grade and ninth-grade families, their eyes were a little complicated.
As an aristocratic family, their information channels are far beyond those of casual cultivators and common people.
Everyone knows that the Tianren Huangfu family and the former Ma Huangfu family are so good that they almost wear a pair of trousers, and the latter always follows the former's lead.
The former Ma Huangfu clan colluded with the Yinsha Sect to commit treason. How could the Heavenly Man Huangfu clan be so clean and completely unaware of it?
Moreover, the events of that night's banquet had also been spread. After the incident was exposed, the dignified Patriarch Hua Ye actually killed the most important witness, Huangfu Deyun.
Even a fool can see that this is murder and silence.
It's just that the Tianren Huangfu clan was cautious in doing things and did not leave any tangible evidence. But in the eyes of all the aristocratic families, the Tianren Huangfu clan was absolutely inseparable from the incident with the Yinsha Sect.
Maybe the one who colluded with the Yinsha Sect was the Tianren Huangfu clan, and the former Ma Huangfu clan was just pushed out to jack up the vat.
Everyone just didn't say it in public, and they had already discussed it in private.
They all felt cold and ashamed of what the Huangfu family did. At least they wanted to stay away from the Huangfu family and didn't want to have anything to do with it.
Because you never know when the Heavenly Man Huangfu clan will betray you for some reason.
Now that Lei Yangyu has taken off the hijab, it has naturally aroused everyone's feelings. On the one hand, they feel worthless for the former Ma Huangfu family. On the other hand, there is also a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox.
However, although they were clear in their hearts, due to face and taboos, the eighth- and ninth-grade aristocratic families remained silent at every seat. Those who were supposed to drink tea drank tea, and those who needed to eat snacks ate snacks, as if they did not hear Lei Yangyu's words. .
But civilians and casual cultivators no longer have such scruples.
A large number of insiders appeared out of nowhere and began to vividly talk about the events of that day.
The Tianren Huangfu family secretly colluded with the Yinsha Sect to treason, but after the conspiracy was exposed, they let the former Ma Huangfu family take the blame and completely plundered themselves... A series of things were told by them in ups and downs, with detailed and evidence-based evidence, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes. What you see.
It turns out that the former Ma Huangfu family was just taking the blame, and the real mastermind behind the scenes, Tianren Huangfu family, is not only at large, but is also preparing to seize and annex the assets of the former Ma Huangfu family!
After hearing this, the melon-eaters were immediately furious.
Of course, there are also those who just want to take advantage of it, because the news is too exciting, so they spread it like crazy.
In short, the rumors spread like a plague.
As for evidence, only large-scale officials need evidence. The common people are just eating melons happily, and the excitement is over. What evidence do you need?
For a moment, Lei Yangyu's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, blowing up most of the square.
Huangfu Jinhuan was sitting on the chairman's seat, his expression extremely ugly. With so many people looking at him, he felt as if he was sitting on a stove, restless.
This move was so cruel, it seemed to have hit Huangfu's seven inches directly. Thinking back to the whispers between Lei Yangyu and Wang Shouzhe just now, how could Huangfu Jinhuan have imagined that Wang Shouzhe was behind the move?
Immediately, Huangfu Jinhuan's eyes stared at Wang Shouzhe like a knife blade.
Wang Shouzhe also looked at each other from a distance, cupped his hands towards Huangfu Jinhuan and grinned.
As if telling him: Yes, it was my move, what can you do to me?
Huangfu Jinhuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and a trace of hatred flashed in his sinister eyes.
Fortunately, at this time, the city guard Xiahou Hongde also arrived surrounded by his personal guards.
I saw him walking like a dragon and a tiger with a majestic look on his face, looking around with a pair of tiger eyes, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Even the civilians and casual cultivators who were crowding around became silent.
"Everyone is here, let's start the auction."
Xiahou Hongde was actually in a good mood. Although such a scandal broke out in the former Ma Huangfu clan, as a city guard, he not only supervised the case personally, but also annihilated an evil group of Yinsha Sect, which can be regarded as a meritorious service.
He always does things vigorously and resolutely, and doesn't like red tape.
Immediately, an accompanying official came forward with a square rosewood plate, in which was piled a thick stack of papers, including the property deed, as well as the contracts of servants and servants.
The official stepped forward and said loudly: "The property auction in Qianma Town has officially begun. Lot No. 1, a main house covering an area of 300 acres, is estimated at 40,000 gold."
"Lot No. 2, Tianhong Ranch, has 800 households of pastoralists, 30,000 acres of pasture fields, more than 5,000 oxen, 30,000 sheep, 1,000 horses, and 80 acres of low-grade spiritual land. Ten horned yaks. The total estimated value is 170,000 gold."
"Lot No. 3, Qianma Farm, has 500 households of tenant farmers, 20,000 acres of bean fields, and 70 acres of low-grade spiritual fields. Poultry and livestock are not included. The total estimate is 80,000 gold."
"Lot No. 4, Xingwang Ranch, has 500 households of pastoralists, 40,000 acres of pasture fields, and 100 acres of low-grade spiritual fields. Poultry and livestock are not included. The total estimate is 90,000 gold."
Later, there were some small estates that produced food crops, houses and shops in the Changning Acropolis, etc., which were all long-term fixed assets.
The main property of the former Ma Huangfu family was the four large farms, with a total estimated value of more than 300,000 yuan.
If all the assets of the former Ma Huangfu family, including the main house, were to be sold, it would probably cost at least 500,000 yuan.
These are only their fixed assets, some working capital, easy-to-transport property resources, or antiques and famous paintings, etc., which have probably been confiscated long ago.
After all, it is an eighth-grade family with a very solid foundation.
At the same time, Wang Shouzhe also heard something strange from the declaration. Most of the output of the three giant ranches in Qianma were materials needed for pasture breeding. However, the number of cattle and sheep raised by Huangfu's family in Qianma was not Very many.
It is very obvious that most of the output from the pasture has been supplied to the Celestial Being Huangfu clan.
This kind of simple industrial chain is normal among aristocratic families. The Wang family's silkworm farm in Ping'an has been providing raw silk raw materials to the Xu family in Changning. The former Ma Huangfu family took on the responsibility of growing fodder, which is also normal and cannot be said to be exploitative. .
But if these feed production bases fall into the hands of outsiders or enemies, the Huangfu family will feel uncomfortable that day. For a while, it will be difficult for them to find substitutes.
Wang Shouzhe had already mastered this information, so he came prepared today, ready to compete with the Huangfu family.
"The auction has officially begun." The official sang loudly, "The first thing to be auctioned is..."
"etc!"
Wang Shouzhe raised his hand and interrupted directly, "Sir, I have a suggestion."
The official's expression froze, as if he was a little displeased. But when he saw that it was Wang Shouzhe, the chief family member of the eighth rank, who interrupted him, he smiled kindly and said, "It turns out to be the head of the Ping'an Wang family. May I ask what the head of the Shouzhe family wants?" proposal?"
If it were the head of a ninth-grade family, he would have scolded him long ago. Even if it were an ordinary eighth-grade family, he would not be so pleasant.
But not only did Ping An Wang become the eighth-rank chief, but his momentum was unmatched by anyone. He even dared to compete with the Celestial Family. He could not afford to offend such a person.
"Everyone's time is precious. It would be too much of a waste of time to auction them one by one." Wang Shouzhe suggested with his hands, "Otherwise, they will be packaged and auctioned at once, and the highest bidder will win."
Package auction?
The officials were shocked. The former Ma Huangfu family was a dignified eighth-grade family, and the total family property was very huge. Even if it was discounted, the total package price would be 540,000!
This is an astronomical sum of money.
Five hundred and forty thousand!
Even buying a sixth-grade "Elixir of Immortality" is more than enough, and there is still a lot of surplus left.
You must know that the "Ascending Immortal Pill" is a treasure pill used by peak monks in the late Lingtai Realm to assist in breaking through to the Heavenly Realm. It is not only rare but also extremely expensive.
The lifelong dream of many Lingtai-level monks is to obtain an elixir of immortality. But in fact, most Lingtai-level monks in the world will not even have the opportunity to smell it before they die.
It can be seen from this.
Five hundred thousand dry gold is such a heavy weight. Most of the heavenly and human families cannot afford so much cash in one go.
"This..." How dare the official make the decision? He immediately looked at the city guard Xiahou Hongde, "Master city guard, what do you think?"
Xiahou Hongde also looked sideways, looking Wang Shouzhe up and down from a distance. This boy's ability and ambition were far beyond his imagination.
Want to swallow up all the fixed assets of the former Ma Huangfu family in one go?
"Xiahou City Guards." Huangfu Jinhuan hurriedly stood up and said, "This is against the rules. It is more reasonable to follow the original rules and shoot them one by one."
This disaster happened too hastily. Even if he wanted to take over all the assets of the former Ma Huangfu family, he was unable to do so. He tried hard and borrowed money from many places, but he just hurriedly raised 400,000 dry gold and prepared to take over the Of the three most important ranches, at least two of them must be captured.
If it were to be packaged and auctioned, the money he prepared would be far from enough.
"Rules?" Wang Shouzhe said with a gentle laugh, "The head of the Jinhuan family is really good at telling jokes. Which law or regulation in the Daqian Law says that when the property of a guilty official is auctioned, the property must be auctioned one by one?"
"That's right, Patriarch Shouzhe is right, everyone's time is precious." Lei Yangyu of the Lei family helped, "What must be photographed one by one, haha~ Why don't you photograph each cow one by one? If you can't afford it, don't take pictures, just sit aside and watch the fun."
"Lei Yangyu!" Huangfu Jinhuan said angrily, "You and I are both heads of the Celestial Family. Do you really want to go against me?"
"Ouch, your tone is so domineering, it makes Lei Mou so scared." Lei Yangyu smiled eccentrically, "Could it be that our dignified Ning Wei is your Huangfu family's family? Our Heavenly Man Lei family , you don’t even have the right to say something fair?”
This Lei Yangyu is obviously a master who is not afraid of big things. What's more, it is the time when Huangfu's family falls into the water. How long can we wait without beating up the drowned dog?
The heads of two great celestial families came to blows.
Naturally, it made the melon-eaters feel excited and excited.
"Shut up." Xiahou Hongde suddenly felt a headache. It was obvious that Wang Shouzhe had been prepared for this matter and wanted to catch the Heavenly Man Huangfu family off guard. I don't know if he really wanted to take over all the assets of the former Ma Huangfu family, or just just Want to raise the price to make Huangfu Jinhuan disgusting?
What exactly is this kid planning? Is it possible that he really wants to break up with the Huangfu family?
However, Xiahou Hongde owed Wang Shouzhe a favor after all. As the saying goes, he was merciful when it was reasonable and legal, so he would naturally show some favoritism.
Immediately, Xiahou Hongde said impatiently: "Daqian has no regulations on how to auction it. It just so happens that we have important matters to guard for a while, so we will pack it up and auction it."
After saying this, Xiahou Hongde had a ridiculous idea in his mind. Wang Shouzhe had sold him a favor a few days ago. Could it be that he had already planned today's auction?
In this case, this kid's scheming is a bit deep. No wonder, Tianren Huangfu fell into such a fight in his hands. I'm afraid, he will probably have to fight again today.
Xiahou Hongde spoke.
The matter was naturally settled.
The official respectfully accepted the order, and then sang and shouted: "The auction has officially begun. All the assets of the former Ma Huangfu family will be packaged and auctioned at one time. The starting price is 540,000 gold."
"Five hundred and forty thousand." Wang Shouzhe raised his hand and said.
"You..." Huangfu Jinhuan almost spit out a mouthful of blood, staring at Wang Shouzhe with murderous eyes, "Wang Shouzhe, do you really want to go against our Huangfu family like this?"
"Haha~ Yangyu Patriarch is right." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "You Huangfu family really think that you are the Changning Guard and your own family. You are just bidding in a normal auction. If you can't win, do you threaten it? So does Shouzhe. So scared."
He and Lei Yangyu had the same plan, which was to take advantage of the fact that Huangfu's family was in the water and wait for an opportunity to throw a few rocks at him. Although they couldn't kill him, they could make the reputation and prestige of Huangfu's family rise. A sudden fall.
As the melon-eaters laughed unbridled, the eyes of the heads of the eighth- and ninth-grade aristocratic families on the table also showed contempt and ridicule.
This majestic Huangfu clan, a heavenly being, is so useless that he is ready to swallow up the wealth of his branch, and he cannot even win an eighth-grade aristocratic family in the auction.
The wind direction in Changningwei seems to have changed a bit.
When everyone looked at Wang Shouzhe, they felt as if they were looking at a rising star.
The official of the auction was obviously a person who knew how to figure out people's thoughts. Judging from the Xiahou City Guards's response to Wang Shouzhe's suggestion, it was obvious that the City Guards favored the Wang family in their hearts.
Immediately, his face darkened slightly and he said: "Master Huangfu, this is a serious auction. If you want to bid, then bid; if not, then give up. I'm warning you, don't bid randomly. If you can't pay within three days, The patrol camp of our city guard is not a vegetarian."
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!" Huangfu Jinhuan called out a price with a cold face. With such a gap of 150,000 yuan, he could still do it within three days if he could find a way to do it.
"You are so petty." Wang Shouzhe shook his head and said, "Six hundred thousand."
"You..." Huangfu Jinhuan said angrily, "Wang Shouzhe, do you really want to take over those ranches? Your Wang family doesn't raise livestock, so what's the use of the ranches?"
"I don't care, I'm just joining in the fun." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Just take a few pictures, if the Huangfu family head bids a high price, I will withdraw, just as giving Changning Wei more co-construction funds. If the family head can't pay,
As soon as I got the money, I took it and treated it as an investment. After running the business for a few years, I found opportunities to slowly sell it without losing money. The owner can continue..."
Go on, go on, you soul.
Huangfu Jinhuan wanted to curse directly, six hundred thousand? How many heavenly families could afford six hundred thousand in one breath?
"Okay, okay!"
Huangfu Jinhuan's face turned red and white, "Wang Shouzhe, you are ruthless, let's wait and see."
"Master City Guard." Wang Shouzhe said to Xiahou Hongde, "I reported the Huangfu family, and he was threatening me. If anything happens to me recently, it must be the Huangfu family. Because of the threat, I applied to the Lord City Guard for transfer
A patrol battalion came to protect me."
"Huangfu Jinhuan, please calm down the city guard and don't make the city guard angry." Xiahou Hongde has been extremely dissatisfied with the Huangfu family recently. If Wang Shouzhe and the others hadn't killed the people of the Yinsha Sect, maybe they would have been killed.
Something big will happen before he is transferred.
"Xiahou City Shou, I just failed in the bidding and am a little angry." Huangfu Jinhuan cupped his hands and said, "My Huangfu family is a law-abiding family, and I will never violate the laws of Daqian."
"And you, the head of the Shouzhe family." Xiahou Hongde glared and said, "The patrol battalion of our city guard is responsible for protecting the city and bringing peace to the people. They cannot be your personal bodyguards."
After a pause, he frowned and took out something: "This object is a cloud-penetrating cannon. It is a thing used by the army to ask for help. As long as you are not more than a hundred miles away from the city guard's office, the city guard's office can receive the message for help. Only
For once, don’t do anything wrong.”
What a surprise.
Wang Shouzhe just casually slandered Huangfu Jinhuan. He actually knew that the Huangfu family was holding back a big move, and it was absolutely impossible to send Patriarch Hua Ye to assassinate him directly.
However, after incidentally acquiring the fixed assets of the former Ma Huangfu family, and also receiving the treasured Cloud-Piercing Cannon for help, I was naturally even happier.
It's a pity that Huangfu Jinhuan never imagined in his wildest dreams how useful those ranches would be if they fell into the hands of Wang Shouzhe. If he knew about them, he would probably lose his arms and legs, and he would have to take pictures of them.
