In front of him was the owner of the house, named Jia Liang, who was standing shivering in front of him. Beside him was Zhang Biao, who was showing off his muscles with his bare chest in the cold weather.
Fang Zheng chewed the preserved fruit and muttered, "What do you think, Old Jia? Your house is so small, two thousand taels is too much, one thousand taels is too much! Will you consider it?"
Jia Liang stole a glance at Zhang Biao next to him. His blood vessels were bulging, his muscles were bulging, his body was shiny and oily, and he was constantly thinking in his mind.
This group of people is not ordinary! The leader is dressed luxuriously, like a nobleman, and the maids around him are extremely beautiful. It is obvious that he is not an ordinary person. As soon as he entered the room, he occupied his chair and then started to bargain fiercely.
After chatting for a while and failing to bargain, the guy next to me started to take off his clothes, put on oil, and pose. He seemed to have some mental problems...
However, since he had no idea of the other party's background and was under the threat of force, Jia Liang didn't dare to say anything else.
He could only beg for mercy: "Master Fang, no matter how cheap my house is, it is worth 1,800 taels! I really can't afford it at this price, please find someone else!"
"Huh!? Hey!" While speaking, Zhang Biao's appearance changed from war trampling to devil horns.
Jia Liang's heart shuddered, but he still looked firmly at Fang Zhengyi...the maid next to him.
Fang Zhengyi said lazily: "Nine hundred taels, Xiaobai, take out the things and hold them up!"
Bai Yi frowned, unfolded the imperial edict and held it high above his head, feeling full of regret. Who did he call Xiao Bai? Why did he cooperate with these two psychopaths...
Fang Zhengyi said lazily, "Look! Old Jia, when I came here, I heard that you forced a concubine into your house and forced her to jump into a well and commit suicide. Is that true?"
"I will be going to the palace to see His Majesty tomorrow. I was just worried that I had nothing to talk about with His Majesty. Look, now I have something to talk about."
"You are in the restaurant business, right? It's called... Fulailou? If I can say a few good words for you in front of His Majesty, I think your business will flourish! Nine hundred taels, not too much!"
When Jia Liang saw the imperial edict, he first looked at it carefully, then looked at the seal and immediately broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down immediately.
Then he heard Fang Zhengyi's threat, and he panicked again: "Mr. Fang... No, Lord Fang, even if the deal fails, we still have friendship! My concubine was originally forced upon me by my creditor! Who knew that the bitch would jump into the well by herself! It has nothing to do with me! Don't listen to the rumors outside!"
Fang Zheng said, "You are already over fifty, how can you still have this much strength? How old is that woman?"
Jia Liang lowered his head and said, "Probably about fourteen or fifteen, still quite young..."
What a fucking beast! When I came here, I heard from the dentist that this grandson had a bad record, so I specifically picked this family to bargain with, but I didn't expect him to be worse than pigs and dogs!
Fang Zheng suddenly stood up and said coldly, "Fuck! Then I really didn't wrong you. Eight hundred taels! Are you going to sell it or not?"
Jia Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Master Fang, are you here to stand up for that bitch? She is just an ordinary bitch!"
"Get out of here! I'm talking business with you!"
Jia Liang actually stood up at this moment and said loudly, "Master Fang! Although I run Fulailou, it is actually the property of Zhang Chang, the son of the Minister of Revenue. I can sell this house or not, but if this matter affects the business of the restaurant, I really feel sorry for you."
Jia Liang is a businessman, and he didn't want to make things too awkward, but the other party actually threatened him with an imperial edict, so he had to use his backers, although Fulailou was not in Zhang Chang's eyes at all...
No matter how powerful this bastard is, he is only a fourth-rank official and a lowest-ranking baron. Is it possible that a second-rank official cannot control him?
Hearing this, Fang Zheng seemed to calm down suddenly. He walked over to Jia Liang with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Jia, it's a good deal to sell it for one thousand taels. Why did it have to be like this?"
Jia Liang was delighted, thinking that he was afraid, so he quickly took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay! Since Lord Fang likes it, then I'll give him one thousand taels!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zhengyi whispered in his ear, "But... I am a scumbag, and I will never allow anyone to be worse than me in front of me... Do you think the Minister of Revenue will offend me because of a dog? Seven hundred taels!"
Although Fang Zheng was nominally the county magistrate after traveling through time, he still worked part-time as a bandit for two years and kidnapped many merchants. After all, one cannot stand firm in troubled times without being ruthless!
What is the Minister of Revenue? He was offended, and now he has entered the court. With the various technologies available in Taoyuan County, he is confident. A mere Minister of Revenue cannot kill him!
Jia Liang was completely panicked. This guy is a madman. He is not afraid of anything! How can we talk about this? It is obvious that he is here to kill him!
"Okay! Seven hundred taels is seven hundred taels!" Jia Liang made up his mind and decided to sell it and go back to complain to the young master!
Fang Zhengyi looked at the well in the courtyard and sighed, "I got angry and hurt myself. Plus, someone died in your courtyard. It's unlucky... Six hundred taels."
"Okay..." Jia Liang lowered his head and said through gritted teeth.
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Okay! Brother Jia is really straightforward. Zhang Biao, take out the money and give him the whole job!"
Zhang Biao happily took out a bag of five hundred taels of silver and took out an ingot of one tael from it.
In front of Jia Liang, he put his palms together and pressed hard! The silver ingot turned into a silver cake on the spot!
Fang Zheng picked up the silver cake and said with a smile: "Look, you haven't seen such silver on the market, right? There are such delicate palm prints on it, so it has artistic value! Besides, my performance as a guard is not cheap, so I'll give you this silver, plus the rest in the bag, a total of 500 taels, how about that?"
A trace of blood gradually filled Jia Liang's eyes, and with trembling hands he took the silver cake handed to him by Fang Zhengyi.
He spoke word by word, "Five hundred is five hundred, Master Fang, please do as you please!"
"Hahaha! Great! Great! Let's go get the title deed!" After saying that, Fang Zheng turned around and sat back in his chair.
Bai Yi looked at the absurd scene in front of him in amazement, his heart was in turmoil.
Jia Liang felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly took the land deed, completed the handover, picked up the silver and ran out of the house without even packing his things.
Fang Zheng looked at his fleeing figure and sighed, "He is indeed still strong despite his age. He can run so fast with five hundred taels..."
Then he added, "Okay! This is our new home now. I'll go take a look around first, and you guys go look around the house to see if there are any valuable junks that you can take out to exchange for money."
After saying that, he walked away unsteadily with his hands behind his back.
Bai Yi swallowed hard and whispered to Zhang Biao, "Does the young master need money so much?"
Zhang Biao chuckled and touched his head: "It's not a shortage, but without money people will starve to death. Young Master is afraid of poverty, hehe."
Bai Yi thought about it, and then whispered: "Was he like this before?"
After saying that, he swung his knife hand and made a few moves on the neck.
Zhang Biao smacked his lips, touched his chin and recalled: "No, it wasn't like this before. The young master has become much better in temper in recent years!"
"Well! If this happened a few years ago, that old man would have had his head fed to dogs in Taoyuan County!"
