The Zhou family is gone. The first member of the once largest family in Yongping County died overnight and was exiled.
Xu Ning felt that he could have a peaceful sleep. As for the two martial arts schools, Changsheng and Jinsong, Xu Ning did not touch them. The Zhou family was the mastermind behind it. Just destroy the Zhou family.
Without the Zhou family, these two martial arts schools should not be against themselves. Of course, if they want to avenge the four dead warriors, then don't blame yourself for charging them with rebellion.
At this moment, in the Xu family compound, Ma Min came to visit. Seeing Xu Ning, Ma Min looked excited. This time he really made a great contribution. Not only was he rewarded by the court, Ma Min was also promoted to the chief blogger.
Although he was only a minor official, he still made more money than being a headhunter before, and it didn't have to be so hard, and the risk was greatly reduced.
The other four detectives have also been promoted and received awards. Now these five people are grateful to Xu Ning. It was Xu Ning who allowed them to accomplish this great feat. They will all follow Xu Ning's lead in the future.
"Master Ma, congratulations, congratulations."
Seeing Ma Min come to the door, Xu Ning smiled and spoke.
"Brother Xu, don't call me that. You know best how I came to be a blogger. Just call me brother." Ma Min said with a smile.
"Okay, Brother Ma came to see me today for something?" Xu Ning asked.
Ma Min smiled and said: "It's true that something happened. The Zhou family is gone, but it left a lot of property behind. I don't know if Brother Xu is interested in these properties."
Xu Ning's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "What kind of industries does the Zhou family have?"
"The most valuable thing about the Zhou family is their qualification as a salt merchant. This is in cooperation with the government. Brother Xu went to talk to Liu Zhixian. It shouldn't be a big problem to become a salt merchant. In addition, the Zhou family also has two wine shops, which are in very good locations. Okay, we can take it, and the rest of the farmland, brothels, inns, etc. can be left to other big families in the city, so that we don’t have to offend too many people.”
Xu Ning nodded. Ma Min made sense. The Zhou family's property was so big that if he took it all by himself, he would indeed attract the jealousy of others.
Just the salt merchants and wine shops are enough. Just look at ancient China to see how profitable the salt merchants were. Bai Juyi even wrote a song called "Salt Merchant's Wife" to talk about how rich the salt merchants were.
Even if the profit of official salt is not as high as that of private salt, it is still very profitable, and it is better than safety. If you are caught selling salt privately, you will be beheaded. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you have the qualification of a salt merchant, you can basically Enjoy life.
In addition, wine shops are also a profitable business. Liquor from another world is the only drink. Unlike Coke in the main world, there are many fresh oranges and Red Bull.
Therefore, selling alcohol is also a hugely profitable industry. It is not unreasonable for the Zhou family to become the largest household in Yongping County.
Xu Ning felt a little hot in his heart. If he took away both the salt and the wine, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
"Brother Xu, if you want it, you'd better hurry up and go find Magistrate Liu now. There are a lot of people in the city looking at the Zhou family's property. If you go late, you might be preempted by others."
Ma Min reminded.
Xu Ning followed the good example and hurriedly got up to find his cheap uncle.
Ma Min pulled him and said with evasive eyes: "Brother Xu, there is something else I want to tell you. Magistrate Liu asked us about the Zhou family, and we said that you gave us the dragon robe."
Damn it!
Xu Ning was a little confused. Will he sell himself now? Isn’t it said that the ancients were very loyal? What's more, my brother gave you a fortune, only to turn around and shake yourself out. It's too unreliable.
"Only my uncle knows?"
Ma Min nodded hurriedly, "We only told him because Liu Zhixian is your uncle, otherwise we wouldn't tell him even to death."
Forget it, you people in the government are better at adapting to the wind than anyone else. I still can't trust you too much, otherwise I don't know how I was betrayed.
…
County government.
It can be said that Liu Jin was high-spirited and nipped the Zhou family's rebellion in the cradle, thereby achieving great achievements and winning a reward from the court. Now that the position of Gyeongju governor is vacant, it may fall on him. How could he not be excited.
Of course, he actually felt that there was something fishy about the Zhou family. So many government officials searched and found the dragon robe, but only Ma Min and Zhao Ming found it.
Moreover, it was Ma Min and several other detectives who were the first to discover that a real dragon appeared in the Zhou family.
All these things made Liu Jin have to doubt Ma Min and others, so he called for questioning, and with coercion and inducement, he revealed Xu Ning.
This surprised Liu Jin, especially when he heard that Xu Ning could observe the sky and concluded that there would be strange phenomena. Liu Jin wondered if Xu Ning had caused the strange phenomena.
If so, that would be too terrifying. Wouldn't it be possible to blame whoever you want? What kind of magical method is this? It can actually make a real dragon appear in the world. Could it be that Xu Ning's sect is an immortal sect?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice outside: "Master, Mr. Xu is here."
"Let him in."
Xu Ning entered the study and said with a smile, "My nephew has met my uncle."
"No need to be polite, just sit down."
Liu Jin smiled and asked the butler to make some good tea, and said, "Were you responsible for the Zhou family's case?"
Xu Ning did not deny it. Ma Min and others had already said it, so there was no point in denying it.
When Liu Jin heard Xu Ning's personal admission, he sighed, "You are so terrible. I didn't expect you to have such means."
"That day you said that the Zhou family was looking for someone to assassinate you. You couldn't sit back and wait for death. I also advised you not to be impulsive. I didn't expect that your methods were so fierce and domineering. So you were the one responsible for the appearance of the real dragon?"
"That's not true. I don't have that ability. I only know how to observe the sky. I didn't expect a real dragon to appear above the Zhou family. Speaking of which, God is helping me take revenge."
Xu Ning said, "You can't admit that the real dragon is alive. If this reaches the ears of the Empress of Zhou, she will definitely be suspicious of herself, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future."
When Liu Jin saw this, he didn't ask any more questions, but said: "You will be beheaded if you make a dragon robe privately. Don't do this kind of thing again in the future."
"However, you can be considered as having made a contribution to me this time. Did you come to me about the Zhou family's property?"
"I really can't hide anything from uncle. I'm really here for the Zhou family's property. I want the qualifications of a salt merchant and the Zhou family's wine shop. I wonder if uncle can make it easier for me."
Liu Jin smiled and said, "It wouldn't be possible if it were anyone else. Qualification as a salt merchant requires competition, but you are my nephew. If you say this, I will help you no matter what, even as an uncle."
Xu Ning was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
Liu Jin added: "Are you interested in the Zhou family's mansion? If you are, you can spend some money to buy it after the government confiscates the house. This mansion is also a hot commodity. Many people come to me. No, I’ll keep it for you if you want.”
Xu Ning's heart moved. Although he had never been inside the Zhou family's mansion, he had seen some of the luxury of the Zhou family's mansion through the drone. The area alone made people jealous, not to mention the various decorations inside.
This can be said to be the largest mansion in Yongping County, and Liu Jin actually said he could sell it to himself.
want! must!
