Three Kingdoms: God-level selection

Hearing that Su Yan did not directly refuse, but instead used the reason of his parents' orders, Zou Zhi laughed.

"I see. What you said makes sense. Marriage is a matter of parents' decision. I do need to report it to your father."

"I hope Patriarch Zou can understand.

Su Yan nodded and said

""Where is the county magistrate from? Where is your father?"

Zou Zhi continued to ask.

Su Yan had no choice but to answer:"I am from Zhuo County, my family is in Ji County, and my father is the deputy governor of Youzhou."

"What!"

Everyone present was shocked. They didn't expect that Su Yan had such a great background. He was actually the son of the second-in-command of Youzhou.

"It turns out that you are the son of Su Biejia. I didn't expect that."

Zou Zhi was also shocked for a moment, then he bowed and said

"Originally I wanted to marry my daughter to you, but now it seems that my Zou family is trying to climb up the social ladder. Please don't mind."

"I don't blame the head of the Zou family."

Su Yan shook his head and said,"To be honest, I am not very popular at home. My father treats me in general. The most favored one is my second brother Su Ze. I just took advantage of the eldest son."

Everyone was relieved when they heard this. It turned out that this was an unfavored young man. However, Zou Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said,"So that's the case. Then the adults should need the help of my Zou family even more." Su Yan smiled and said,"What does the head of the Zou family mean by this ?

"

"As long as my Zou family and your Excellency become relatives, you can use the power of the Zou family to win more support, and then you may have a chance to go back and fight for the inheritance of the family."

Zou Zhi said with a smile.

When the Zou family heard this, their mood suddenly became bad.

If so, then their Zou family not only contributed money and people, but also married the eldest daughter to this kid.

In the end, the kid went back to inherit the family business and left their Zou family aside. Wouldn't they lose a lot?

They decided to go back and persuade Zou Zhi to change his mind.

Facing Zou Zhi's good intentions, Su Yan smiled and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zou. I just don't think too much about it for now. My father is still in good health. The family business dispute is too far away for me. I don't want to fight for these meaningless things."

"Now, I want to govern Zhuo County well, let all the people in Zhuo County live a good life, and then gradually get promoted. I will talk about other things later."

"Since your Excellency is so sincere, I will not say anything more. I just hope that you can mention the marriage to your father."

Zou Zhi was not angry when his kindness was rejected, but his smile deepened.

After talking about these things, Su Yan drank a few glasses of wine with the Zou family, and then said goodbye and left.

After he left, the Zou family found Zou Zhi and persuaded him.

"Patriarch, Su Yan is simply an ungrateful person who can never be tamed. Why should we help him?"

"That’s right, that guy actually put forward such harsh conditions and asked us to bid. It’s really abominable!"

"I think we should unite with other families to put pressure on him."

The Zou family members in the hall kept talking.

Zou Zhi looked at them quietly without saying a word.

After a while, everyone realized something was wrong and gradually stopped talking.

"Are you done?"

Zou Zhi glanced at them calmly, and no one dared to speak.

"Do you know why I can become the head of the family, but you can't?"

He asked again.

Everyone was still listening.

"Because you are all a bunch of short-sighted villains who only care about a little bit of profit and don't understand the situation at all."

Zou Zhi said coldly

"Su Yan now has both the people and the soldiers, and there are so many people supporting him. If we put pressure on him, do you think he will give in?"

"I tell you, no!"

"He is a more dangerous person than the previous county magistrate. If we offend him by mistake, we will definitely suffer the consequences."

Zou Zhi became more and more excited as he spoke.

"I never wanted to take back those 300 guards. I asked him before just to remind him to remember the good intentions of our Zou family."

"And those five streets, once we obtain the right to use them, we will make a huge profit, don’t you know?"

"Compared to what we paid, that's nothing."

"But Patriarch, Su Yan didn't tell us at all, why did he insist on holding a bidding meeting?"

At this time, someone stood up and refuted

"So I said this person is not simple. Although he is very young, we must not underestimate him."

Zou Zhi stroked his beard and said:"Look at the previous county magistrates, they were all greedy scholars and were easily controlled by us, but this Su Yan is different."

"Although he is also a scholar, he is thicker-skinned and more black-hearted than those people. He is decisive and ruthless, and never hesitates."

"If we continue to try to control him like before, I'm afraid that will be the end of our Zou family."

After hearing his words, everyone was speechless and didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, you don’t have to believe it."

Zou Zhi shook his head and said,"Let’s just wait and see. Those other families will definitely want to cause trouble. We will see how he handles it when the time comes."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally gave up and said in unison,"Yes!"

Then these people left one after another, leaving Zou Zhi alone in the entire hall

"I hope my judgment is correct. This Su Yan is definitely not an ordinary person."

"But even a golden scale needs to grow, so this is a good time for my Zou family to help it out."

Zou Zhi muttered with a gleam in his eyes.
