Chapter 529: Variety: Escape Room (27)
"It doesn't matter how much it was just now, now it's half a million. ”
"I'm paying 500,000 dollars for this thing. ”
As soon as Lu Xiu's words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Applause began to ring out from the box upstairs, and the wildfire spread like a fire, and the entire auction hall applauded him.
"500,000? Is anyone really willing to pay 500,000 dollars for a piece of paper?"
"What the hell is so valuable?"
"Box No. 6 is willing to spend a lot of money to buy this wordless book of heaven, there must be a reason for someone's family, maybe there is really a wealth password hidden on it that is not known to people. ”
"Some people say that the one sitting in the sixth box is the eldest young master of the Lu family. ”
"Didn't you say that Young Master Lu had disappeared a few days ago, and this is coming back again?"
"It's not clear, my friend hasn't actually seen this legendary Young Master Lu, but the guests in the sixth box came in with the white jade seal of the Lu family, and the one headed by him is extraordinary, so it must be the reappearance of Young Master Lu......"
“......”
The female master of ceremonies held on to the auction hammer, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately adjusted her state.
She announced in a high-pitched tone: "$500,000 once, $500,000 twice." ”
Box Five was silent, and no one was competing with him anymore.
The auctioneer raises his hand and drops the hammer.
"Congratulations to the last lot of the auction that was successfully won by Box 6 for $500,000. ”
The auction ended here, and they didn't have to wait too long, and soon someone knocked on the door of the box where Lu Xiu and his party were.
The waiter folded his hands together, leaned over slightly and saluted them: "Please gentlemen and ladies come with me to pick up the goods." ”
They walked through the dimly lit corridor where they had arrived, and were taken straight to a VIP room where they waited for a while, and it was not long before a waiter brought in the auction item with a tray and a brocade box.
The waiter stood respectfully bowing his head and did not rush to deliver the auction items to him.
Lu Xiu knows their rules, and the Peking Auction House pays attention to paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.
Sure enough, I only heard the waiter continue: "May I ask how the gentleman will pay?"
With an amount of 500,000 US dollars, it is obviously unrealistic to trade in cash, not to mention that Lu Xiu does not have so much money at all.
He thought for a moment and replied, "Let's hang the account." ”
He guessed correctly, the Lu family in this story was really a frequent visitor to the Peking auction house, and the waiter did not suspect him, so he immediately took out the bill, held it in both hands and handed it to him.
Lu Xiu glanced at it quickly, and then took the pen and signed his name at the end of the bill.
To be precise, it is the name of Young Master Lu.
Xu Chunqiu turned his head and saw that the ink on it had not yet dried, leaving three words on the paper, "Lu Changqing".
After he finished writing, he took out the private seal from his pocket, dipped it in the cinnabar seal clay offered by the waiter, and put a red seal with the word "Lu" on his name.
In this way, the transaction is considered completed.
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, handed them the brocade box, took the tray and the bill himself, and gently closed the door and left the room.
Xie Lang breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "After all the hard work, I finally got it." ”
Lu Xiu opened the lid of the brocade box, took out the wordless book worth 500,000 US dollars inside, and laid it flat on the coffee table in the VIP room.
He turned around, looked around and asked, "Who's the flashlight?"
Du Zigui turned on the flashlight and swept the scroll on the coffee table.
Everyone waited with bated breath, and several eyes fell on the wordless book at the same time.
But there was nothing.
Fu Nanxun was apprehensive in his heart, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Is it too bright in the room to shine?"
He stood up and clicked on the switch to turn off the chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the VIP room.
The room suddenly darkened, and only the light of a flashlight barely illuminated the contours of their faces.
But the scroll was still empty, nothing happened.
Xie Lang "chuckled" in his heart, and suddenly had an ominous premonition: "Could it be that we will be wrong?"
"This wordless book can't be fake, right?"
Lu Xiu shook his head and said firmly: "Impossible, it is impossible for the Beiping Auction House to take fake things out and fool people." ”
But I heard Xu Chunqiu say on the side: "Use purple light." ”
There is only one button on the body of the flashlight, where does the purple light function come from?
Du Zigui couldn't toss the purple light for a long time, so he handed over the flashlight to Xu Chunqiu.
I saw Xu Chunqiu take the thing and hold it in his hand, turn the switch on and off several times in a row, and the bulb of the flashlight emitted a white light, I don't know how many times, the light suddenly turned purple.
The blue-purple glow hit the wordless book that was spread out, and the self on it clearly appeared.
"On the night of July 7, the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese garrison at the Luqiao Bridge held a so-called military exercise near the Chinese military position without notifying the local Chinese authorities, and falsely claimed that a Japanese soldier was missing......"
The handwriting on the paper is very similar to Lu Xiu's, and the traditional Chinese characters are densely arranged together, and Xu Chunqiu can read without any obstacles.
"The other side asked to enter Wanping County, southwest of Beiping, to search, but was sternly rejected by the Chinese garrison, and the Japanese army immediately launched an attack on Wanping City and Luwei Bridge, also known as ......"
Lugou Bridge Incident!
Xu Chunqiu unconsciously muttered a voice, her eyes suddenly widened, and it seemed that even her pupils were about to tremble.
This passage was all too familiar to her.
In the president's office on the top floor of Huarong Finance, Lu Changqing opened his eyes and woke up from the couch, eagerly looking for the war report of the 26th year of the Republic of China in this strange world decades later.
Xu Chunqiu handcopied a full page for him, which concisely summarized the relevant information of the July 7 Incident, as well as the route map of the Japanese march from Wanping City to Lugou Bridge.
Xie Lang suddenly became excited: "Oh my God, this is too hot-blooded, the goosebumps on my arms are about to rise." ”
Du Zigui also nodded, he was also amazed by the ingenuity of the program team, and his eyes were bright.
Xu Chunqiu's whole brain was empty for more than ten seconds, and then he turned his head in astonishment, and his eyes met Lu Xiu's.
Maybe for others, "Old Things in Peking" is just an ingenious story woven by the program team, but for the two of them, it is a personal experience.
