The moment he pushed the person aside, a small house came into view.
Although there are no stone lions guarding the courtyard, the main gate alone exudes a majestic and imposing aura.
A thick layer of withered branches and rotten leaves was piled up at the entrance, making it look rather desolate, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
A thought suddenly flashed before Feng Gan's eyes, and he asked, "Afu, whose house is this? How much is it for?"
Afu was slightly injured from the push, but upon hearing his young master's call, his dejected eyes brightened, and he looked in the direction Feng Gan pointed.
"This seems to belong to a businessman from before. I heard he did something wrong..." Afu thought hard, feeling that it was familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"I don't care about the past, just tell me if this house is worth buying!" Feng Gan found it more and more pleasing to the eye, especially the pear blossom that was growing over the wall, which he found particularly beautiful.
"This... seems to have been taken into the government's possession. If we want to buy it, we'll have to start with the county government." Afu hesitated for a long time before saying this.
"What? This requires government approval?" Feng Gan's face showed some impatience when he said the word "government".
Then he sighed and said, "Would the county magistrate approve it?"
“This… seems to require the magistrate’s approval…” Afu said, taking a step back.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Feng Gan flung his hand back as if to strike someone, but missed. He could only coldly say, "This house needs the county magistrate's approval? Even the county clerk can't do it?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xie Xing's official position was unreliable, offering no benefits whatsoever, and that he would always be overshadowed by the county magistrate.
If he were to buy an official position, he wouldn't care about the cost; he'd buy the highest possible one.
Once you become an official, there will be countless people trying to curry favor with you. Are you still worried about not being able to collect all this money?
However, Feng Gan had no desire to become an official. He didn't want to do anything but have to consider this and that, and he was always at risk of being beheaded.
He just wanted to be a carefree businessman, making endless money and sleeping with every woman in the world!
"Young master, there's nothing we can do about this. Why don't we look for another house?" Afu felt that this house was too difficult to find and not suitable for his young master.
"No, I've got my eye on it. I'll figure out a way to get my hands on it!"
