Longevity: I want to enjoy wealth and honor in the world
Chapter 48: Change with the times
"I was thinking that since everyone in the inner city has died, I am going to come here to receive the inheritance. I would like to ask County Magistrate Wang for a small favor." Feng Tianzong said with a smile.
At this time, Wang Mingyuan felt that he no longer had any leverage in the other party's hands. Although Feng Tianzong was an immortal master, he felt that the court was behind him. After all, he was an official appointed by the court, so Feng Tianzong should not dare to do anything to him.
"Master Feng, did you make a mistake? The rebels' riots caused heavy casualties in the city. Their property should naturally be taken over by the court. What does it have to do with you?
I have always handled cases impartially and would never bend the law for personal gain. Now that the city guards have suffered heavy losses, I have not yet investigated the cause. I have already shown mercy outside the law because of your status as a master.
Master Feng, please don't push your luck. You must know that the court has its own laws. Although there are not many masters in the world, there are still many. No one dares to openly defy the court's laws." Wang Mingyuan sat upright, looking majestic and upright, like a fair and honest official.
Feng Tianzong frowned. He didn't expect that this guy would turn his face and not recognize him. He would not recognize him if the situation improved a little. He raised his hand lightly, and a ball of lightning flashed in his hand.
"Wang County Magistrate, if I give you some face, you will really treat yourself as a human being? I heard that the refugee riots have not ended yet. I heard that they are preparing to attack the county government. All the gentry in the city are dead. For those rioters, killing one more or one less does not seem to make much difference.
This immortal master is generous and can give you a chance to reorganize your words. This is the only time, please consider it carefully." Feng Tianzong looked at Wang Mingyuan, whose face gradually turned livid, with a smile.
"3, 2..." Feng Tianzong began to count down by himself.
"Gudong" Wang Mingyuan jumped down from the wide official chair and knelt on the ground.
"Please ask Master Feng to save the people in the city. Now the mob is rampant in the city. Only Master Feng can turn the tide.
After the success, the court will certainly reward the meritorious service. The ownerless houses and land in the city can be given to Master Feng as rewards.
If Master Feng does not agree, I will kneel here forever."
Wang Mingyuan is indeed an official. This set of methods of changing one's attitude according to the situation is definitely a model of thick-skinned and black-hearted. Feng Tianzong clenched his fist lightly, and the flashing thunder in his hand disappeared.
"County Magistrate Wang is indeed a good official who is dedicated to the people. Get up." Feng Tianzong took two steps forward and sat on the official chair of the county magistrate.
"Master Feng is very righteous and saves people from danger. Please accept my greetings." Wang Mingyuan kowtowed respectfully and then got up from the ground.
He did not expect Feng Tianzong to be so bold and reckless. For a little money and land, he actually dared to attack him, an official appointed by the court.
This is completely different from the immortal masters he knows. As far as he knows, although the immortal masters are also greedy, they will never go against the court for these yellow and white things.
What Feng Tianzong did can be said to be completely beyond his expectations.
Wang Mingyuan was not an honest official. In front of other people's money and his own life, he naturally chose his own life.
Feng Tianzong did not need to be too polite to Wang Mingyuan. He directly ordered: "I plan to rebuild the inner city and build it into my mansion. You can find a place in the outer city to rebuild the county government."
Wang Mingyuan was stunned by this sentence. The entire inner city was given to you to build a mansion, and even the county government had to give you space. This was too domineering and lawless.
No matter how much he complained in his heart, he did not dare to show a trace of expression on his face. This gentleman really did not take the court seriously. Kill people if you say so. A bolt of lightning came down, and he couldn't bear it.
"Master Feng, I will do it. I will ask them to move the county government office tonight. By the way, if you want to rebuild the mansion, you will also need manpower. The county government can also recruit corvée labor." Wang Mingyuan said with a smile on his face. Facing the existence that controls his life, he directly took out the attitude he would treat his superiors.
"Corvée labor is not necessary. There are still many refugees in the outer city. They just have nothing to do. Let them come to work and earn a living.
By the way, there are also those gang members in the city, and those idle ruffians, all of them will be pulled over to build the mansion for me." Feng Tianzong said.
"Master Feng, you don't know. Those refugees are easy to deal with. If you are willing to give them something to eat, they will be eager to help you build your mansion. The ruffians are also easy to deal with. I can ask the yamen runners to catch them. But the gang members are difficult to deal with.
This hero violated the law with force. These gang members are all martial artists. In the past, they were suppressed by the city guards, so they didn't dare to do anything.
But now the situation in the city, I'm afraid they won't be obedient." Wang Mingyuan said in embarrassment.
"If they don't obey, just wipe them out together with the rebellious mobs." Feng Tianzong said indifferently. He now regards Liaoyuan City as his own territory.
Whether it is the ruffians or the gang members, they are all unstable factors. First, pull them to do hard labor. If they honestly reform themselves, Feng Tianzong is not willing to kill more.
If they are not honest, just wipe them out together and clear up a bright and sunny day.
With fifty ironwood puppets in hand, the city guards were wiped out, not to mention the gang members and thugs.
"I'll do it right away." Wang Mingyuan said respectfully.
"Wait, there are also the most important deeds. These deeds are all changed to my name." Feng Tianzong took out a box of deeds. They were all found by the Eight Evils from various gentry's homes.
Wang Mingyuan took it and looked at it. It was 80,000 acres of good land. His heart trembled and his eyes were red. How much is this worth? There are only so many deeds, and there are also the money in the homes of those gentry. How much wealth is this?
I have been a corrupt official against my conscience and risked my life. After so many years, I am not as good as a fraction of what others did at one time.
Just thinking of Feng Tianzong's ability to control thunder is like a bucket of cold water, and all desires are extinguished.
He called his subordinates to change the deeds and stamp the seal, and finally got the job done.
"Bring all the household registration books in the city, I will see how many fields and how many people there are in the city." Feng Tianzong ordered.
Wang Mingyuan's heart suddenly turned cold: "It's over, it's over. This is not just a matter of greed. Not only does he control two-thirds of the land in the city, but he also asked about the household registration books. He is definitely going to rebel. This time he is on a pirate ship."
