In the main hall of the ancient castle, collectors and philanthropists from all over the world are gathering at this moment, and a very small number of giant businessmen who are obviously prominent and have faintly exceeded the level of merchants, such as Li Jucheng, who has just arrived. With Adam in the middle, coupled with his immense prestige, it is conceivable to become a guest of honor.

"Xiao Yi, you have made progress again"

In two days, Zhou Yi read and remembered that he had read nearly 10,000 books on the shelves, and at this time he was really full of poetry and books. This time Zhou Yi was in France, but he still found Rouzhi for him, which also made Li Jucheng very grateful, and he was even closer to Zhou Yi, and he really regarded him as a nephew.

"Is that Mr. Li?"

It has been three days since Zhou Yi came to the Lion Castle, and this is the first time he has seen Lord John, an old man who is very well-dressed, and he has returned to his bones. On today's grand occasion, he wore a white and gold wig, a golden dress, and his open chest did not reveal a charming cleavage, but pink lined lace, and white thick stockings on his legs, and thick-soled boat-shaped high heels.

"Oh, dear Lord John, it is a great honor to see you. ”

Li Jucheng is a sedan chair man, with his current status, he really doesn't need to be so polite to an outdated nobleman, but he still gave John enough face. This made the old nobleman laugh sharply: "It's also my honor to meet Mr. Li." Mr. Lee, let me guess. Have you taken a fancy to the treasure of 'Chen Siwang'?"

Sure enough, it's Cao Zhi's tomb!

Zhou Yi didn't know what to do, Liu Ke, who was a self-proclaimed literati, suddenly changed his face, Chen Siwang, who became a poet in seven steps, was a monument in the eyes of ancient and modern literati, and he would be tempted when he heard that it was about his treasure. Liu Ke has already begun to calculate, except for the 'Seven Star Lamp', which is an inevitable thing for Li Jucheng, and he must not touch it, but the rest of the objects must not fall into the hands of those old Maozi, Goryeo sticks and even island people.

This time John invited collectors from almost all over Europe and Asia. He looked down on Da Lao Mei, thinking that it was a big joke for this kind of country with no historical background to talk about antiques, and Black Africa was a third-class region in the eyes of European aristocrats, and it was not in his consideration, but several famous collectors of the island country and Nanbang had arrived, and they might become Zhou Yi's competitors, especially Nanbang, it is estimated that in their opinion, Cao Zhi is also a native of the big stick country, and they have the sacred mission of welcoming the national treasure.

"Huh. Lord John was very discerning."

Li Jucheng said with a smile: "But I'm also very interested in Western paintings, I heard that you also have a few Western paintings for sale this time, if it's a good thing, I will also buy some, you can take possession of our national treasure, and we Chinese people should also take action, right?"

"Okay, the auction is about to start, and Mr. Li certainly has the option to buy what you like. I won't accompany you, hehe" John laughed dryly twice and left politely, Liu Ke snorted coldly: "These old hairy people, there is no good thing, take the things of our ancestors and auction them magnificently, it is really unreasonable, I bah!"

"Mr. Liu, don't be impatient, let's see if something is real or fake first."

In order to solve the problem of military spending, Cao Cao once discharged a large number of captains to excavate the burials of his predecessors, and single-handedly created the business of 'tomb robbers', and was afraid of retribution after death, it is said that ninety-nine fake tombs were built alone, although Cao Wei was a political loser, but after all, he was a descendant of the Cao family, and where could he go? So whether the things in John's hands were true or false, there were still two things, Li Jucheng came this time, in addition to asking Tang Bao to invite Zhou Yi to participate, he also specially invited two experts in Han cultural relics, just for fear of being blinded.

Under the leadership of the maid, Zhou Yi and Li Jucheng and others were invited into the VIP box, the main hall has been converted into an auction venue, there is an auction table in the middle, and there are luxurious VIP boxes all around, Professor Adam and several of his collector friends were able to unite with Zhou Yi, and they also came together, but they were determined to be in the "Last Supper", but they were not interested in Cao Zhi's tomb.

Zhou Yi noticed that Henry shouldn't have any alliance, but he and Emma entered a small box, and the boxes were closed on three sides, but he couldn't tell whether he and Emma were discussing life ideals or doing other things inside. Zhou Yi now admires the second sister Zhou Jingjing very much, with the strength and intelligence of the second sister, it is impossible to have no doubts about Henry, who has been away from home for many days to engage in a 'career', it is estimated that now the private detective has put some evidence in front of the second sister, but the second sister is still extremely calm, and she has not even asked herself any questions about Henry.

In fact, Zhou Yi has long understood the character of the second sister, otherwise he would not have given such a heavy hand to Henry, if Zhou Jingjing is personality like Liu Wu, even if it is troublesome, at the risk of 'transforming Henry is not thorough enough', Zhou Yi will also use other methods, but will not directly use the hurtful means of breaking and standing. This is called 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent to win all battles', who let Henry put up the tough wife of the second sister and his brother-in-law?

It has to be said that John's collection is very miscellaneous, and most of the messy collections are concentrated in artifacts unearthed in Asia, around the tomb of 'Chen Siwang' Cao Zhi, as well as some porcelain, wood and miscellaneous items from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even things from ancient Annam, ancient India and some countries in Southeast Asia. Among them, the more representative ones are a copy of the "Sanzang Buddhist Sutra" hand-copied by the Goryeo Guotai ~ Zu and the seal used by Oda Nobunaga in the shogunate era of the island country, this thing is actually a large piece of turquoise, and the jade seal of China is not a grade at all.

However, Zhou Yi and the others saw it very clearly, when Oda Nobunaga's seal appeared, the box where the island people were suddenly screamed, and Li Jucheng asked a Chinese cultural relics expert who knew Japanese to know. It turned out that John was so fucked up that Oda Nobunaga's seal was listed as the first lot. This makes the people of the island country feel greatly insulted, in the eyes of the ghost of the island country who respects history more. Historically, China is still great, and the seal of the Sixth Heaven Demon King is still understandable before the treasure of Huaxia'Chen Siwang', but why is it ranked in front of the country of sticks? What sticks are too ~ ancestors, in the Song Dynasty, our island country is a town, and the stick is also a village, right? Of course, the description of the town and village is made up by this expert on Han cultural relics. Zhou Yi and Li Jucheng smiled when they heard this, and Zhang Zhao's laughter almost broke the roof of the VIP room.

In the end, Lord John, who was quarreled with the island nation and the stick, had to change to a copper basin first, or bronze, according to the expert John invited to describe it. This should be the basin used by a favorite concubine of 'Chen Siwang' during his lifetime, Chen Siwang is an opponent of the concubine's funeral system, so after his death, this concubine used a basin as a substitute and put it in the tomb, according to the value of contemporary cultural relics, not to mention the basin used by Princess Chen Si, even if it is a toilet used by Cixi, it is still a toilet, not worth a few dollars, so this object John was originally intended as a gift. Now I have to take it out as a lot.

"Princess Chen Si's basin? Yamei Daddy, Yamei Daddy!" The eyes of the island country collectors lit up, and their intelligence work was also good, so they naturally knew that Li Jucheng was here, and they wanted to fight Chen Siwang's idea, and it was not bad to get a basin to go back, at least spiritually victorious. And the base price of this basin is not high, only 10,000 euros.

I don't have much interest in this basin Zhou Yi and Li Jucheng, and we don't have much else in ancient China. It's just that there are many concubines, and if you like it, you can buy it back and be obscene, and whoever you love. So it was only symbolically offered two times, and in the end, it was the collectors of the island country and the southern stick country who rushed for a while, and finally it was bought by the collector of the island country named Hashimoto Kuhuiro for 500,000 euros.

Next, in order to prevent the dispute just now, in addition to a few large cultural relics in the collection of Chen Siwang, some miscellaneous items and the seal of Oda Nobunaga and the manuscript of Taizu of the Stick Kingdom were placed in the same position, and the order of the auction was determined by lot, and Zhou Yi and they auctioned some small things that they were interested in, such as the Han Dynasty Jianshu, Xiao Zun or something, there are some small pieces that are favored by European collectors and bought at a large price, Li Jucheng and Zhou Yi are not fighting, these are all gadgets, and they are not up to the level of national treasures, and they can't be robbed of them.

Nanbang's luck is obviously not good enough, their founding Tai ~ ancestor's hand-copied Buddhist scriptures were actually drawn to the front auction, the island collector was suddenly excited, the auctioneer just called out the reserve price of one million euros, and the Hashimoto Kuhuilang preemptively called out a high price of five million, and the Nanbang collector was suddenly in a mess, and they all looked at him with extremely hateful eyes.

"Eight million!"

Zhou Yizheng wanted to suffocate, he didn't want Li Jucheng to be faster than him, so he directly called out the high price of eight million, Hashimoto gritted his teeth: "Ten million!" He was originally interested in several large items in Chen Siwang's treasure, and even had the idea of "The Last Supper", but when Li Jucheng appeared, he knew that he could never compete with the richest man in Asia in terms of financial resources, so it was better to shift the target, if he could get the national treasure of the stick back, the sensation in the island country might be even bigger than getting "The Last Supper".

"Fifteen million!"

A collector of southern sticks, his eyes were red, he poked his head out of the box, pointed at the island people's box fiercely, and shouted in English: "Damn the island people!"

Zhou Yi's heart moved, it seemed that he had got the national treasure of the stick, and it was not bad to hang it at the gate of the Wangqi Courtyard as an ornament? He was about to make a bid, but he was held down by Li Jucheng's arm: "Xiao Yi, this is the national treasure of the stick, if it is taken by the people of the island country, the stick country will be excited, and the island country will be regarded as an enemy, if they make trouble, whether it is in politics or economy, it will be beneficial and harmless to us."

"Understood. Zhou Yi nodded, and said in his heart, you just told me directly that you were just fanning the flames just now, okay, I won't bid.

"Sixteen million!"

Hashimoto Jiuhui Lang is on fire, eight grids ~ Yalu, Li Jucheng I can't afford to provoke it, the little stick also wants to grab food, and there is no door?
