Chapter 4 Shouzhe! It Was Shouzhe Who Came

…

Fifty thousand dry gold, this is really not a small amount.

Although the Changning Wang family is developing well now, it seems to be very wealthy.

But in fact, the larger the family, the greater the expenses. Providing various spiritual pills and spiritual food for the clan members to practice, which one is not a huge expense? But if those expenses are saved, with the current foundation of the Wang family, how can anyone keep up with those families that have developed for hundreds or thousands of years?

Therefore, even though Wang is now very capable of making money, he is still severely short of money.

or?

Wang Shouzhe was slightly moved...

But this thought only passed away for a moment, and he immediately strengthened his Taoist heart again.

Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shouzhe, you must stick to the bottom line and don't do it just for some bad money...

"I'll add another fifty thousand, for a total of one hundred thousand gold." Seeing that Wang Shouzhe seemed to be wavering, Mrs. Bilian immediately added more money, with a proud look on her face, "I know that the Wang family in Changning is rich. But you can get extra money without any effort. There are not many opportunities to earn one hundred thousand gold, so don’t you think about it, Master Shouzhe?”

Effortless?

Wang Shouzhe glanced at her faintly.

Mrs. Bilian, are you looking down on me too much? However, in order to prevent being beaten to death by his wife, I still didn’t earn the 100,000 gold.

"Mrs. Bilian, please stop talking nonsense." He stood up immediately and said sternly, "I am already married. Madam, please don't mention such inappropriate thoughts again."

"Uh...could it be that Patriarch Shouzhe has misunderstood?" Mrs. Bilian's expression froze slightly, and a flash of astonishment flashed in her charming eyes, "One hundred thousand gold, what do you think? If I really have such a wrong intention, If you think about it, this amount of money is enough... bah bah bah ~ Wang Shouzhe, this lady is not this kind of person."

Could it be that I am really thinking wrong?

Wang Shouzhe was also stunned, then frowned and said: "Then there is some bad boy who is eyeing Madam, and Madam needs me to be a shield?"

"Master Shouzhe, please don't think wildly." Mrs. Bilian couldn't hold it back anymore and rolled her eyes at him, "You don't even think about it, what kind of status I have, how can any fool dare to force me to do something I don't want to do? If someone was really so reckless, I would have sent dozens of soldiers to chop him into pieces."

Okay~ Seriously speaking, Mrs. Bilian's identity is really quite big.

It is said that she is the legitimate daughter of the Zifu family in a certain county, and her current husband's family, Yuwen, although she has fallen from the Zifu family, is still a very powerful sixth-grade family, and no one would think twice about messing with her.

"It's not this, it's not that, what on earth is that madam doing?"

Wang Shouzhe was helpless.

You can't blame him for thinking too much. He really can't imagine what kind of situation would require a handsome and excellent man to solve.

Mrs. Bilian frowned slightly: "This matter involves some secrets of our Yuwen clan. If I tell you, even if the Shouzhe family master is unwilling to help, please keep it a secret."

Wang Shouzhe thought about it for a moment: "It's okay to keep it secret. But whether to help or not, I need to think about it all."

"Based on your Changning Wang family's rank and Wang Shouzhe's own credibility, I believe you for once." Mrs. Bilian hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke, "Speaking of this matter, it is related to the founding of our Yuwen family. Ancestor. He once adopted a spiritual beast - a three-tailed fire spirit fox."

"You also know that multi-tailed spirit foxes are ancient spiritual species with strong bloodline, so Yuwenshi has always taken good care of it. Now that thousands of years have passed, she has reached the peak of six tails and is about to grow her seventh tail. The intelligence is great, and the strength is comparable to that of the Zifu. And our Yuwen clan can also use this to greatly increase the strength of the seven-tailed spirit fox. Even if it is still not a Zifu family, it can still intimidate all the young people and eliminate many covetous hearts. "

Wang Shouzhe was slightly surprised: "This is a good thing, is there any difficulty in it?"

He secretly thought to himself that the Yuwen family was worthy of being a powerful sixth-grade family that fell from the Zifu family. This was a profound foundation. Just that peak six-tailed spirit fox could kill many seventh-grade families.

"The problem is that the six-tailed fire demon fox has a weird temperament." Mrs. Bilian said helplessly, "She likes handsome, young, and outstanding young men to feed her the treasures of heaven and earth. , she especially dislikes women, and most ordinary men are also disliked. Now that she is about to reach her breakthrough period, her demands have become higher. She ignored all the handsome young men I made friends with before and was lazy. Refuse to be promoted.”

Wang Shouzhe broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. There is such a difficult spiritual beast to take care of?

For example, the Yuanshui spirit turtle in his home is extremely well-behaved and obedient.

However, in this way, he understood why Mrs. Bilian liked those young and handsome men. I am afraid that the reason was probably this.

"You don't have to do anything else, just chat with her, just coax her to eat the heavenly materials and earthly treasures she was promoted to." Mrs. Bilian said, "Our Yuwen clan's six-tailed fire demon fox has a gentle personality. Except for this shortcoming, everything else is good. As long as the head of the Shouzhe family can complete the task, I will give you one hundred thousand gold."

The Yuwen clan is no longer as powerful as it was at its peak, but it still controls a lot of industry. In the eyes of some caring people, it is like a huge cake. Everyone wants to get in and take a piece of Yuwen clan's body. Come.

Nowadays, the entire Yuwen clan has a strong sense of urgency and wants to possess the combat power of a Zifu realm as soon as possible.

"If that's all, Shouzhe can give it a try." Wang Shouzhe said after thinking for a while, "But Shouzhe doesn't dare to vouch for this. If it fails, Madam, please don't blame me."

Mrs. Bilian beamed with joy: "Okay, okay, as long as you are willing to agree. In the entire Longzuo County, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a more suitable candidate than the head of the Shouzhe family. Regardless of success or failure, our Yuwen clan owes you a favor." .”

Wang Shouzhe was slightly happy when he heard this.

Yuwen's strength is considered to be the strongest among the strong sixth-grade families. Having the opportunity to make Yuwen owe him a favor is definitely a matter of great benefit and no harm to Wang.

What's more, the Yuwen family still has Mrs. Bilian, the legitimate daughter of the Zi Mansion family, and maybe one day the Yu Wen family will return to the Zi Mansion with honor.

For the development of the entire Changning Wang family, one more friend is naturally one more path.

Then Wang Shouzhe made an agreement with Mrs. Bilian, and after he settled the matters at hand, he would visit Yuwen.

…

A few days later.

Longzuo County, west of the county city, more than two hundred miles away.

It is dotted with villages, farms, manors and densely populated areas.

The closer you get to the county town, the more secure you are, and the ferocious beasts have long been extinct. The people have multiplied here from generation to generation and have formed towns one after another.

Once upon a time, when the Longzuo Wang family was still a Zifu family, they owned countless manors, and the number of tenant farmers and tenants who worked for them, as well as ordinary people who were dependent on them, numbered in the hundreds.

Even if there is no other income, just relying on the annual grain harvest can bring a steady stream of wealth to the Longzuo Wang family.

Unfortunately, times have changed.

Today, the Wang family in Longzuo only has a few medium-sized estates and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land left, and the number of tenant farmers under its command is only a tenth of what it was before.

No matter how much wealth was passed down from the ancestors, after repeated attempts to attack the Zifu family failed, they still slowly lost everything.

It was in this generation that Zhoubo ancestor abandoned the dignity of the old family and founded the Zifu Palace. As his income gradually increased, he thought of returning part of his ancestor's land so as to accumulate blessings for future generations.

At this moment, right next to Wang's Manor in Longzuo, two waves of people were confronting each other.

One of the waves was the Wang family of Longzuo. They were led by Ancestor Zhoubo, followed closely by family head Wang Xiaorui, clan elder Wang Yuchen, and a group of Lingtai realm elders from the "Chen", "Qiong" and "Xiao" generations.

It can also be seen from the number of these Lingtai realm elders that even if the Longzuo Wang family is in decline, the family background is not comparable to the Changning Wang family.

From the "Yu" generation down, there are still clan elders alive in every generation.

As for the Wang family in Changning, there are no elders left with the character "Chen" or "Qiong", and there are only three left with the character "Xiao".

That is to say, when Wang Shouzhe's "Shou" generation came, the population gradually began to flourish.

The "Ding" and "Shou" generations of the Longzuo Wang family are also quite prosperous. There seem to be twenty or thirty young men in the "Shou" generation alone. Wang Shouzhe was familiar with Wang Shouxin and Wang Shouyue, both of whom were very outstanding young people in the "Shou" generation.

The total number of Lingtai realm monks from the Longzuo Wang family has now reached twenty-one.

The oldest among them is clan elder Wang Yuchen. He is almost 170 years old. Looking at his senile appearance, his life is about to come to an end.

The youngest Lingtai realm monk is Wang Shouyue, the direct grandson of the current head of the family, Wang Xiaorui.

Compared to more than ten years ago, he has become much more mature and stable. Taking advantage of the great development of his family, he easily broke through to the Lingtai realm.

According to ancestor Zhou Bo, the family also plans to cultivate him into a celestial being.

It is reasonable for the Wang family in Longzuo to have such a large population.

After all, when Patriarch Zhou Xuan went to Changning Guard to make a living, he only brought his two sons with him. After more than a hundred years of reproduction, many were lost due to the tide of beasts, and the current population has reached more than fifty.

It is normal for a celestial family that has been passed down for hundreds of years to have hundreds of clan members.

The Wang family in Longzuo has a longer inheritance. If it weren't for being so poor, the family would probably have more than this number.

As for the Zhang family who were confronting the Longzuo Wang family, they were obviously much stronger than the Longzuo Wang family, with a prosperous population of young and old. There were more than twenty elders from the Lingtai Realm alone present.

The old man at the head was strong, with a white beard, and his aura was as powerful and intimidating as the bottomless cold pool.

This person is none other than Zhang Hongqing, the first heavenly ancestor of the Zhang family in Longzuo.

Everyone calls him "Ancestor Hongqing".

Ancestor Hong Qing is nearly three hundred years old, and his cultivation has already reached the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm. It was just that there was no hope of attacking the Zi Mansion in this life, so he gave up his cultivation and advancement early, and only relied on the minimum consumption to maintain his cultivation, and gave most of the resources he saved to his descendants.

"Wang Zhoubo, the contract you took out was more than three hundred years ago." Ancestor Hong Qing said angrily, "All the people involved in the contract are no longer here. How can I believe that this contract is true?" Since I, Hong Qing, was born, those manors have belonged to our Zhang family. Now that you are jumping out and saying that those manors belong to your Wang family, you are really deceiving others. Don’t think that our Zhang family has a shallow background. So easy to bully."

Ancestor Zhou Bo was so angry that he trembled all over: "Zhang Hongqing, this contract is made of the skin of a fifth-level ferocious beast. Judging from its age and various identification techniques, it is from more than three hundred years ago. Now. Now If you refuse to admit it, are you planning to default on the debt?"

"What a joke! What's the use of dating?" A young man in his thirties jumped out from the Zhang family and yelled, "If we forge a contract now and take it out hundreds of years later, If they say that the main residence of your Wang family in Longzuo belongs to our Zhang family, will you be convinced?"

"Zhang Guanwen, the elders are talking, when is it your turn to interrupt?" When Wang Shouyue saw that it was him, his expression changed and he yelled angrily, "If you are unhappy, I, Wang Shouyue, will come and play with you."

"That's enough!" Ancestor Zhou Bo said with a gloomy face, "Zhang Hongqing, you know this is true. What's more, when we signed this contract, there were three copies, and you and I each keep one. There is another share in the county governor's house, how can you rely on it if you want?"

After saying that, he looked at an elegant middle-aged man next to him, cupped his hands and said, "Master Cui, I invite you to come here because I want you to do a notarization."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, then put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I have checked the relevant notarized documents of the county magistrate's office, and this fair contract does exist."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Ping An Wang family looked happy and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this case, let's see how Zhang denies it.

However, Master Cui had not finished what he said: "However... more than a hundred years ago, the warehouse where the impartial documents were stored suffered a fire. This document was in it, and many of the handwritings were blurred."

"What?"

Ancestor Zhoubo's face suddenly turned pale.

Zhang's denial caused frequent conflicts between the two parties. Originally, they were counting on the notarized document from the Sheriff's Office to overwhelm the Zhang family.

now……

as expected.

Zhang Hongqing sneered: "How can I testify if I can't see the notarized document clearly? Wang Zhoubo, I advise you not to stalk me."

"Hmph!" Ancestor Zhou Bo's face was extremely solemn, "We and other descendants are unfilial and have lost 99% of our ancestors' ancestral property. However, if we can't even get back the assets that belong to our clan, what shame does my king Zhou Bo have? Go underground to meet your ancestors?"

"That being the case," Chief Cui said, "the authenticity of this matter cannot be verified. Since your two clans are at odds over this, why not follow the traditional rules and have a duel, and the winner will be the king. As the representative of the county governor's office, I can Be notarized. After this incident, the two tribes should continue to live in harmony and should not use this incident as an excuse to cause conflicts."

"I, the Zhang family, are willing to accept the mediation of Master Cui." Zhang Hongqing raised his hands and said, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the ancestor Zhou Bo, "Wang Zhoubo, since the matter has reached this point, there is no point in arguing anymore. It's better for you and me. People come to a battle of exchanges, and the outcome is determined by this."

"Ancestor, you must not do it." Wang Xiaorui, the patriarch, hurriedly advised in a low voice, "Zhang Hongqing has been in the middle stage of heaven and human realm for a long time. We have no chance of winning this battle."

The other family elders were also very worried and gave advice one after another.

Even if they don’t get back their ancestral property this time, as long as they continue to operate the luxury high-end hotel "Zifu Palace", the Wang family of Longzuo will slowly rise sooner or later.

Ancestor Zhou Bo could also see that Chief Cui had probably been on Zhang Hongqing's side for a long time. How exactly did the so-called fire occur? I’m afraid there’s no telling.

As the saying goes, the situation is stronger than the people. If Wang's background and connections cannot compete with others, there is nothing they can do.

but!

Ancestor Zhou Bo's eyes flashed, and his aura suddenly became fierce: "That is the ancestral property left by our ancestors, how could it be swallowed up for nothing? Even if my king Zhou Bo risks his life, he will never let him succeed easily. .”

As he said that, he glanced at Wang Xiaorui behind him: "If I die, you will ask Shouzhe to come over and be the head of the family for fifty years."

Wang Xiaorui was shocked when he heard this and tried to persuade him again, but was stopped by Patriarch Zhou Bo.

"Zhang Hongqing, I admit that you are relatively strong. But if you want to bully my Wang family, I'm afraid you are not qualified." Ancestor Zhou Bo looked at Zhang Hongqing and sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body was shaken, and a vast and powerful heavenly aura suddenly erupted.

It was as powerful as an abyss and a prison, like a trapped beast that had been pushed to the limit and was about to fight back. There was an awe-inspiring aura of going forward and fighting to the death.

in this way.

It was Zhang Hongqing's turn to change his face.

His face looked a little uncertain. He never expected that Wang Zhoubo would fight him desperately for just 20,000 acres of fertile land.

Indeed!

Zhang Hongqing's strength is indeed superior to Wang Zhoubo's, but if the two sides fight to the death, Wang Zhoubo may not have a chance to kill him.

Even if it results in a lose-lose situation, this is not what Zhang Hongqing wants to see.

The value of any Celestial Ancestor far exceeds those 20,000 acres of fertile land.

"Wang Zhoubo, are you crazy?" Zhang Hongqing said angrily, "You have to think clearly, there is only one Heavenly Ancestor in your family. If you die, who will protect the Wang family of Longzuo?"

Ancestor Zhoubo was about to speak.

Suddenly.

A calm and calm voice came from behind him: "Ancestor Zhou Bo is right. If we are indifferent even if our ancestral property is embezzled, then won't the backbone of our Wang family be broken?"

"Although we, the Wang family, will not bully others at will, we will not let others step on our heads."

"This battle must not only be fought, but also with the courage of our Wang family."

As these powerful words rang out, several figures slowly walked out of the crowd and appeared in front of the two groups of people in the confrontation.

The eyes of the elders and young people of the Longzuo Wang family lit up, and joy appeared on their faces almost at the same time.

"Shouzhe, it's Shouzhe who's here."

…
