Longevity: I want to enjoy wealth and honor in the world
Chapter 30: The cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest
"Sir, Shopkeeper Zhou is still waiting for you at the concierge. When do you want to see him?" Aunt Lan asked softly.
Only then did Feng Tianzong remember that Shopkeeper Zhou was still alive in the Zhou family. The one who took him to take over the fields before was waiting for him to take the money with him to the Zhou family when he came back.
Speaking of which, shopkeeper Zhou is also a talented person. He is in charge of a dental shop and deals with all aspects of things. Basically, he can be a jack-of-all-trades in Liaoyuan City and can handle things neatly.
Feng Tianzong is currently in need of such a subordinate who is familiar with the local situation and can handle things. It just so happens that the Zhou family is gone now, so it is suitable to accept him.
Shopkeeper Zhou has been waiting in the concierge of Feng Mansion. He doesn't know anything about what happened outside. Although the waiting time was a little longer, he just thought that Feng Tianzong felt uncomfortable and deliberately left him alone for a while.
"Master Feng, you see it's getting late. Shouldn't we go to the Zhou Mansion? After all, it's an agreed upon thing. The master is still waiting for Master Feng." Shopkeeper Zhou accompanied him with a smile that was both soft and hard. said.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to the Zhou family today. I just received news that the Zhou family has been wiped out and all the men in the family are dead.
I wonder what Shopkeeper Zhou has planned next? "Feng Tianzong said with an expression of fake grief.
Shopkeeper Zhou's expression suddenly changed. The Zhou family exists. He, Shopkeeper Zhou, is still a figure in this city. He will be given some face by all parties. After all, it depends on the owner when beating a dog.
Now that the Zhou family is wiped out, there is no way to rely on human power, so he is just a domestic slave. It may even be difficult to protect himself. After all, he has made a lot of money over the years relying on his status as the shopkeeper of Yahang. He has a rich family, but now that the Zhou family is gone, he is afraid that his little fortune will also be targeted.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, you also know that I have just settled in this city and am not familiar with many things in the city. I also need such a big housekeeper who is familiar with the local situation. I wonder if you are qualified for the job?" Feng Tianzong asked straightforwardly. .
A mere servant was not worthy of his detour. As an immortal master, if he was beaten to death, no one would hold him accountable.
Shopkeeper Zhou heard this and knelt down with a 'gudong' sound: "The old slave has met the master. The old slave has no surname. Now that he has joined the master, please give him a surname."
"You're sensible," Feng Tianzong thought to himself.
"Okay, I'll give you the surname Feng, and you will be the housekeeper of my house. Aunt Lan will be in charge of the affairs in the inner courtyard of the house, and you will be in charge of everything outside."
"Old slave, thank the master for giving me a surname." The chief steward took office.
"Very good, from now on you are one of my own. Now I have an important task for you, which is also a test of your ability. If this task is done well, Master, I will give you a big reward." Feng Tianzong said.
"Master, please give me your instructions. I will do my best to complete the matter." The steward said respectfully.
"Now that all the men in the Zhou family have died, they are now considered extinct. Master, I think the property and fields of the Zhou family need you to go to the government and discuss with the county magistrate whether you can transfer the land deeds and house deeds of the Zhou family. Transfer it to my name, sir? It doesn't matter how much it costs," Feng Tianzong said directly without covering up.
The butler pondered without speaking.
"What? Is there any problem? If you have any difficulties, just ask." Feng Tianzong asked.
"It is actually not difficult for me to want the property of the Zhou family. The Zhou family is not dead. You have forgotten that there are five young masters of the Zhou family who worship you as their teachers and are studying at your house.
According to what you said, all the male members of the Zhou family are dead, so now the five of them are the last heirs of the Zhou family. They are not yet adults, and you are their teacher. You can choose an obedient person to inherit the Zhou family's property, and then reasonably and legally take over the Zhou family's property, including land deeds and house deeds.
It's just that we must act quickly now, before the government finds the land deed of the Zhou family, let the young master of the Zhou family show up so that he can inherit the family business. "The chief steward said cautiously.
Feng Tianzong thought to himself: "Why did you forget those cheap apprentices? Sure enough, professional matters must be left to professional people. The shopkeeper of Yahang handles these matters with ease."
This big housekeeper's idea is much more reliable than that of Jin Jinyun.
"Okay, I'll do as you say, but I'm not familiar with those disciples. Which one do you think is better to choose to succeed the head of the Zhou family?" Feng Tianzong asked.
"Master, among these five people, three of them are direct descendants of the Zhou family. They have been raised since childhood and may think that the property of the Zhou family is naturally theirs and they will not be willing to hand it over.
One is Zhou Chen, the concubine, and the other is Zhou Cun, a collateral lineage. These two people had no hope of inheriting the Zhou family. As long as the master is willing to give them some benefits, they are presumably willing to cooperate with the master. "The chief steward suggested.
Feng Tianzong nodded and said, "Aunt Lan, go and call Zhou Chen and Zhou Cun over."
The five apprentices of the Zhou family have been chopping wood for a day. Even though they have been practicing martial arts since they were young, their backs and backs are sore from exhaustion at this moment.
Soon, the two of them were led by Aunt Lan to meet Feng Tianzong.
Although Zhou Chen is a concubine, his treatment in the Zhou family is not bad. He has been provided with various resources to practice martial arts since he was a child. He is tall and was selected to follow Feng Tianzong to learn immortality. He is full of energy and has some pride.
Zhou Cun, a collateral branch, is tall and thin, with a perseverance in his expression, and a youthful and mature poise.
Just by looking at the two of them, Feng Tianzong already had a choice in his mind.
"Zhou Chen, go wait outside first." Feng Tianzong ordered.
Although Zhou Chen felt puzzled that he was called over, looked at him and then let him go, he did not dare to question Feng Tianzong's words. Feng Tianzong raised his hand to release lightning to turn people into charcoal, which made him very afraid.
"Butler, please tell him about the matter." Feng Tianzong was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly handed the matter to the butler.
Anyway, he was just a mortal. If Zhou Cun disagreed, he could kill him with a palm thunder. He had five cheap apprentices, any of whom had the right of inheritance, and it was not necessary to have Zhou Cun. He just thought that as a collateral branch, he might not be so resistant to occupying the Zhou family's property.
"Zhou Cun, the current situation is very dangerous. Without my power, the Zhou family's property cannot be preserved. You also know how many hungry wolves there are in this city.
And even if it is preserved, it has nothing to do with you, who is from a collateral family.
If you are willing to cooperate with me to take over the Zhou family's property, I can give you a large sum of money to ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life.
You also know the agreement between me and the Zhou family to choose one of the five of you to recommend to the sect. Now that the Zhou family has been wiped out, the recommendation quota for the immortal sect is precious, and the agreement must be invalidated.
But I can give you all the martial arts of the Zhou family. With money and martial arts in hand, you can also develop a Zhou family that belongs to you.
If you don't want to, Zhou Chen is outside, and I can also cooperate with him, but at that time, you will get nothing.
You are a smart person, and I don't need to say much about how to choose." Feng Tianzong said calmly.
