Walk south from the north gate of Gongxian County, it doesn't take long to find a mansion covering an area of dozens of acres, this compound is the largest mansion in Gongxian County, look up and see two red gates that are nearly half a zhang high standing in front of you, you can get a glimpse of the pavilion in the courtyard, rockery garden, pavilion, pavilion, cloister from the door..... The whole nine yards.

This is the Wu family, the largest landlord in the county, the Wu family has more than 40 hectares of land in the county, and the children of the Wu family have hundreds of relatives and in-laws, and there are countless maids and servants in the courtyard. And Wu Feng is the luckiest person in Hao County, just over 30 years old, his old man left to go west, leaving behind the family property that made the whole county hot for his children and grandchildren to squander. However, this Wu Feng is also shrewd, he has taken over the Wu family for several years, and the Wu family's property has not been in deficit, and it is not a scene where everyone expects the cub to sell Yetian without distress. reluctantly kept the Wu family's family business.

But today is a little strange, this middle-aged man who should have been singing and enjoying life every night is restless, constantly walking back and forth on the corridor, as if he has encountered something anxious. He also kept sending people to the city gate to check, but looking at the increasingly angry and obedient expression on Wu Feng's face, anyone with clumsy eyes could guess that Master Wu Feng was in a bad mood and had to walk far away.

Time passed little by little, and finally a servant with a happy face, pacing small steps to Wu Feng bowed and said, "Master! The Ma family in Chengfu County has already arrived at the North City Gate. Hearing this, Wu Feng excitedly pulled the servant's arm and asked, "Really?" Fast! Go and buy food and drink and put it in the table. And do you go to the city gate to see how many other ones are coming? ”

After Wu Feng said this, he took the handkerchief handed by the maid next to him and wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, then walked to the pavilion with his hands behind his back and walked unhurriedly. The servants on the other side went out like a gust of wind and ran towards the city gate.

As the servants came and went, there were more and more carriages in front of the Wu family's gate, from only one to six. Since the arrival of the sixth carriage, there have been no servants in and out of the Wu family, and the servants have gently closed the Wu Mansion. Obviously, the courtyard welcomed an important guest.

Wu Feng, who was on the upper seat in the middle of the pavilion, looked at the six people in the lower seats, who were richly dressed and rich, pondered for a few seconds and said, "Everyone is here!?" I and the other seven people are the richest people in each county with the most real estate and the largest wealth, and Wu Feng invited everyone to come over today mainly to talk about it for a long time, get in touch, and say one thing by the way. ”

As soon as these words came out, the few people who were still laughing and drinking immediately slowed down the movements in their hands and stared at Wu Feng one by one. Wu Feng lowered his head and drank, as if he didn't feel the gaze of a few people. The atmosphere that was still very harmonious just now disappeared immediately, and the seven of them were so silently embarrassed, and suddenly saw a young man in his early twenties, holding a pu fan, and a face with a fan on his face, standing up and pointing at Wu Feng's nose and shouting: "Old thief! It was you who sent someone to call us to come to Gongxian County, and now that we are here, you don't say anything? Before the trouble comes, you will be a turtle! Your turtle (river crab) head has shrunk too early. If you don't say it, I'll say it, isn't it just the matter of the newly appointed Yuzhou assassination history! What is there to be afraid of. When the rest of the people heard this, they chimed in and shouted that Wu Feng was not authentic.

The young man kept shouting in front of Wu Feng The old thief, but Wu Feng was not angry at all, the people who did not abide by the etiquette and law in these years have gone to the sea, and there are people who pee in front of the guests, this young man only called himself a few old thieves, Wu Feng really has no need to care. However, Wu Feng was so squeezed by everyone that he had to stand up and take the lead.

Wu Feng, who was still expressionless just now, immediately smiled and said, "Brother Ma family, don't worry, didn't I just think about how to tell everyone about this?" Besides, I want to be a turtle, but my ancestors won't let me be it! ”

Although Wu Feng complained like this, the rest of the people didn't buy it, and still looked at Wu Feng without saying a word. Wu Feng was driven and said, "Everyone has read the notice posted by the Taishou Mansion, right?" Although there is not a word about me and a few others, just by the census population in the notice, I know that it is Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong. What do you think? ”

Wu Feng stayed at the head of the Wang family in Yu County, and a man in his fifties with flowery hair said slowly: "Patriarch Wu's words are too early! I heard that Zu Ti found some wasteland in the valley in the south of Yu County, maybe this land break is to settle the displaced people and landless people in Qian County in Qian County, so as to prepare for the use of tuntian! ”

The head of the Shansang Fei clan opposite the Wang family in Yuxian County opened his mouth and objected: "I have also heard about the wasteland that Brother Wang said, but Brother Wang is too optimistic, that wasteland is only more than a hundred hectares, thinking that there are so many people in the ancestors, how can those wastelands be enough for the ancestors and thieves?" ”

Old man Wang didn't get angry when he saw Fei Shi talking to him: "Maybe it's enough!?" Maybe Zu Ti is really just measuring the ownerless land and the deserted field!? ”

The patriarch of the Fei clan was so angry that Old Man Wang stood up and pointed at Old Man Wang's nose and shouted, "Old thief, you are really going back more and more!" Pinning his family's property on Zu Ti's kindness, can Zu Ti have such a good heart? Listen to me, everybody! Don't be lucky, Zu Ti is rushing to me and waiting for the field this time! ”

Wu Feng, who was seated, said: "That is, the total of those ownerless fields and abandoned fields in Qian County can have one-tenth of your family's property, Brother Wang?" Just that bit of land can fill the gluttonous stomach of the ancestors? Brother Wang, why are you getting less and less courageous, where is Brother Wang, who only had 200 soldiers and fought against 500 mountain bandits during the Yongjia period? ”

Old man Wang listened to Wu Feng's agitation and did not change color at all, and just muttered in his mouth: "Old! Old! It's getting worse and worse than you young people. ”

The young patriarch of the Ma clan couldn't stand the muttering of the old man Wang, so he stood up and said hatefully: "Ancestor old thief dares? My Ma family's land and property have been bought piece by piece over the years, and they have not been robbed, so why did he say that he would take it away!? As long as he dares to do this, my Ma family will dare to expose the rod and cut the wood to defend the city! His ancestors wouldn't know how Cao Wei died, right? It's not that without the support of our powerful landlords, we were seized by the Sima family! ”

Wu Feng, who was seated, was shocked when he heard this, and shouted directly: "Brother Ma is cautious!" ”

The young patriarch of the Ma clan said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of, this is not Jiangdong!" This is Qian County, is it possible that the imperial history of the Eastern Dynasty will also refer to me? What's wrong with what I said, since the first battle of Cao Wei's official crossing, he has suppressed these powerful clans in various parts of our country everywhere, causing resentment among the people, and losing the people and the country. In the end, it was not the Sima family who was close to the powerful clan who seized power! Since Emperor Taizu killed Cao Shuang, only Wang Ling, Biqiu Jian, and Zhuge raised troops to support Cao Wei, and no one in the rest of the country was willing to raise troops at all. When the noble townsman was killed by Jia Chun, did anyone ever cry out for Cao Wei? Speaking of the rise, the patriarch of the Ma clan danced and said: "As long as his ancestor dares to snatch our land, we will let him have no place in Qian County!" ”

Looking at the crazy patriarch of the Ma clan, several people were reluctant to take over. Only the old man Wang muttered in a low voice: "The Sima family won the world because of Emperor Taizu's perseverance and outstanding ability. Can you find such a person in Chenjun? ”

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the patriarch of the Ma clan thought that everyone agreed with him, and then opened his mouth to encourage: "His ancestor is unknown, and he will definitely be pointed out by thousands of people." Isn't this our chance? ”

Wu Feng, who was seated, really couldn't stand the Ma family leader and said, "No! Zu Ti is a famous teacher. ”

"Can you still be famous if you steal the people's land by skill? Brother Ang, you won't be stupid, will you?! ”

Wu Feng ignored the question from the patriarch of the Ma clan, and instead opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Ma, how many acres of land does your Ma clan occupy in the city father?" ”

"A total of thirty-two hectares regardless of good and poor!"

"Then has anyone in your Ma family's father and grandfather ever been a fourth-grade official!?"
