Chapter 184: The Auction Begins
With the departure of the ace troops, everyone present was still in shock, and they couldn't believe that all this was true.
The most promising general of the official family was actually removed from his post and investigated, and this was an order issued by the highest level of the military.
Don't......
Suddenly, everyone seemed to realize something, and looked at Jiang Lai one by one dumbfounded.
Could it be that he just called those three people?
In Kyoto, there is a balance in everything, including power. The reason why the four great families can stand tall in Kyoto is because they check and balance each other.
However, some decisive power is not in the hands of these families.
Those who stand at the pinnacle of power, they will not get involved in any family struggles, this is the rule, and also just in case.
Everyone knows that there are three bigwigs in the military hierarchy, and they rarely show up in peacetime, unless they encounter real national events. Only the three of them have the right to directly remove the official from their positions.
These three bigwigs have never interfered in the disputes of the major families, but this time, they made an exception.
Although everyone didn't know what the relationship between Jiang Lai and the three bigwigs was, they knew in their hearts that with those three people as backers, Jiang Lai could walk sideways in Kyoto, even if it was the four major families, they had to stand aside.
Looking at the dejected and desolate Guan Linglong, Jiang Lai shook his head, no pity, no sympathy.
Heaven is forgivable! Self-inflicted iniquity, you cannot live!
He had already given her a chance, and since she didn't listen to advice, it was no wonder that he was there.
When he was in the temple, Pang Yuan called him, hoping that he could save Lu Yunfei's life. Moreover, the other party also promised him that in the future, as long as it is not a threat to national interests, they will turn a blind eye to anything in China.
If he is in need, all three will do their best to help.
This is not only a courtship, but also a gesture of goodwill!
After all, as the old king of the Temple, no one could ignore the power in his hands.
Because of this, he dared to come to Kyoto alone without impunity. Compared with the backers behind him, the four major families are nothing.
He doesn't care about Guan Linglong, it's not that he doesn't dare, but he disdains it.
At this moment, the entire venue was silent, and everyone didn't even dare to take a breath, for fear of offending this hidden demon.
In the crowd, there was one of the most complicated eyes, and that was Fu Ying.
She never thought that Jiang Lai would have a relationship with those three bigwigs. If she hadn't restrained herself enough, she would have wanted to slap herself.
I thought that Jiang Lai was of little value, but who knew that his value was far beyond his imagination. If such a person is drawn to the Fu family, the four major families in the future will inevitably be headed by the Fu family.
It's a pity that she should have listened to her eldest brother and missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in vain.
At this moment, not only her, but even Guan Linglong regretted dying.
"Yo, what's wrong with being so quiet?"
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence of the venue. Everyone looked up, and saw a burly young man, accompanied by a petite and delicate girl, striding in.
"It's Fu Shan, the eldest young master of the Fu family. ”
"Big brother. Fu Ying greeted him with a bitter smile.
"Yingying, what's going on, could it be that the auction is over?"
"Big brother...... Alas!" Fu Ying opened her mouth, and her stomach full of words turned into a helpless sigh. Returning to her seat, she pointed to Jiang Lai not far away, and then recounted what had just happened.
"I see. Fu Shan's face was slightly surprised, and he couldn't help but look at Jiang Lai a few more times, "I didn't expect this guy to have a little bit of a background." ”
"It's a pity!"
"What is there to be sorry for. Fu Shan smiled disappreciatively, "Yingying, your vision is too short-sighted. You have to remember that the right to speak in this world is in the hands of the strong, and we ...... is the real strong. ”
Hearing this, Fu Ying felt reasonable, nodded lightly, and her depressed mood suddenly opened up a lot.
"Look, Wei Hong, the second young master of the Wei family, is also here. ”
At this moment, a plain-looking young man slowly walked into the venue, followed by a young man of a similar age.
"That's the official text of the eldest young master of the official family, he and Wei Hong have a front foot and a back foot, and they didn't fight, it's really strange. ”
The young man named Guan Wen is handsome and slender, and he has some similarities with Guan Linglong. I saw that his expression was solemn, as if he knew about his father, and his eyes looked a little gloomy.
As soon as he entered the venue, he immediately walked towards Guan Linglong, and the two siblings sat in the corner, talking in a low voice, not knowing what they were talking about. However, the eyes of the two of them fell to Jiang Lai's location from time to time, full of resentment.
"Huh, the people of the three major families have arrived, why hasn't Qi Heng of the Qi family come yet?"
"I don't know, I heard that he has already returned to Kyoto, but I haven't seen him in the past few days, so I guess I'm going to have fun again. ”
Before you know it, it is already eight o'clock in the evening, and the auction has officially begun.
The auction was organized by several companies in Kyoto, and the auction focused on antiques. As the auction began, everyone took their seats. However, what makes people find it interesting is that the seats next to Jiang Lai are empty, and no one dares to sit down.
Looking at the time, Jiang Lai glanced back at the door of the venue, but saw Ma Zhen appear. It's just a phone call, and I've been there for so long, and I don't know what I'm doing.
"Everyone, welcome all of you to tonight's auction. The man in charge of the auction wore a crisp suit and greeted everyone politely.
After a few words of greeting, pieces of collections appeared on the big screen of the venue one after another. Because they are all antiques with a long history and are worth a fortune, the starting price of any collection is more than one million.
Jiang Lai sat bored in his chair, almost dozing off. He was not a man of letters, and he had no collector's habit, so he had no interest in these antiques. If it weren't for the mysterious item for sale, he would have been gone.
The auction lasted about an hour, and all the items that participated in the bidding were sold, and none of them were unsold.
Looking at the drowsy crowd, the host smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry to delay everyone for so much time." Next up is tonight's finale. ”
Hearing this, everyone cheered up and stared at the big screen one by one, even Jiang Lai was no exception. He wanted to know what kind of good thing could attract all the Dao forces.
"The last piece of the collection tonight, from an anonymous person, has a special request, this collection cannot be auctioned for cash, it must be traded for the finest jade. ”
