Chapter 53: The Auction of the Princess
Ruyi in the name of the gambling house, it is estimated that it refers to the casino's own wishful, although those gamblers think that they can be happy, but nine times out of ten it is impossible to be happy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It's really unlucky! Why did you lose again!" the man from the Dafeng Tavern had already lost all the money he had taken at home.
The dealer's right sleeve rolled up to his shoulder, his strong muscles shook the arm of the dice cup, and he shouted loudly: "Bet! Bet, buy and go!"
A thin gray-clothed man beside the man squeezed him to the side and said unceremoniously: "Do you want to buy it?
The man felt that he was being underestimated, and a burst of blood rushed to his head, and with a snap of his palm, he slapped a dragon-shaped jade pendant on the table, "Who said I won't buy it?"
But the people who come here are gamblers who want to make a windfall, they only care about their own interests, who cares about what other people do!
"Leopard~! The dealer takes all!" the dealer shouted, and the gamblers sighed.
Seeing the jade pendant being taken away, the man shouted, "I haven't placed a bet yet!
But he was glared at viciously, "If you have money, gamble, if you don't have money, get out of here!"
The man was so frightened that he thought that he would have to be beaten and scolded again when he went back. Feel your empty pockets again, flick your sleeves, and forget it!
This dragon-shaped ornament, even if it is a relative of the emperor, is not given by the emperor, it is impossible to have it, so the jade pendant that the man lost immediately attracted the attention of the owner of the gambling house, and he had a hunch that there might be something involved behind it, so he took the jade pendant out of the gambling house and quickly whipped towards the imperial city.
When they arrived at the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial City, the guards shouted: "The Imperial City is forbidden, and you are not allowed to trespass!"
But as soon as he flashed the waist card of the internal guard, the guard obediently retreated to the side, no wonder, the internal guard is Dongfang Zheng's close guard, there are only twenty-two people in total, they are all directly responsible for Dongfang Zheng, and they do extremely secret things, and they have the right to directly face the saint.
When he sent the jade pendant to Dongfang Zheng's hands, Dongfang Zheng was taken aback and went to the Beiwang Mansion with Teng Long. When he went, he didn't see Dongfang Xun, but he heard the news of Princess Xuan's disappearance. As the emperor, he naturally had state affairs to do, so he ordered Teng Long to assist the king of the north.

The one-eyed king has been a snake head for a lifetime, and many women from good families have been sent into the endless abyss by him through his hands. But he did make fame and wealth. His name resounded throughout the dynasty, and the people with whom he did business were all over the state and county.
Although he is not doing a serious business, he does not do a serious business seriously and kindly. He held an auction on the evening of the tenth day of the first month of every month, selling all kinds of women, and the auction was held in an abandoned courtyard ten miles outside the city, and the one-eyed king could always come and go without a trace. All the attendees, whether they were his people or the guests who came, wore golden masks, which not only protected the One-Eyed himself, but also the privacy of the customers.
"This is the last lot of the day. Under the guidance of the host wearing a golden mask, two maidservants wearing the same mask sent over a woman of five big and three thick, she was wearing a coarse cloth dress, her thick hair was simply tied in a bun with a wooden hairpin, and she looked dull.
The host said with great interest: "This woman is twenty-six years old this year, and she has given birth to three sons in a row, but her destiny shows that she will have four sons.
Sitting at the bottom sat tall or short, fat or thin, male or female, and there was a burst of laughter among the people in golden masks. There was a man with a thick Central Plains accent, with a row of gold teeth showing his mouth, and said, "Yes! Yes! The One-Eyed King's goods are not wrong, they are absolutely genuine." I also bought such goods last year, and this year I have a big fat son. ”
"And what are you doing this year?" asked someone next to him.
The big gold tooth replied, "I want to buy another one to play with." His words undoubtedly gave some people who were unsure of their intentions a lot of confidence. "Her reserve price is five hundred taels!" As soon as the host's words fell, a black-robed man shouted, "Six hundred taels!"
"Seven hundred taels!" another purple-robed man shouted.
The black-robed man shouted again, "Eight hundred taels!"
The purple-robed man shouted, "One thousand taels!"
At this time, the host knocked on the gong beside him and shouted, "One thousand taels are sold! This auction is over! Please come to the back hall to receive the goods!", and the maid just now took the woman down again.
The people below shouted for a while, and some people came all the way but found nothing, and they were inevitably depressed, but the auction was over, and they could only stand up and leave.
At this time, a man in a green robe came out, he was also wearing a mask, but the right eye under his mask was black, and he said loudly to everyone: "Distinguished guests, stay here, there is a rare treasure tonight!"
When everyone heard that it was a rare treasure, they all returned to their seats and quieted down to listen to the man in the green robe. The man in the green robe raised his hand and slapped twice, only to see the maid help up a beautiful woman with a light veil covering her body and a graceful figure looming. Like the woman in front of her, she was glazed over, like a puppet.
There was a commotion at the bottom, and everyone had their own calculations in their hearts, and such a beauty was worth the money whether it was placed at home or in business.
The blue-robed man continued: "This is Princess Xuan, the current King of the North!"
As soon as this remark came out, the people below could be said to have fried the pot, and there were many rumors about this princess in the market, and she could be said to be famous. Someone asked in disbelief, "Is this really the princess of the North King?"
The blue-robed man smiled faintly under his mask and said, "My one-eyed king has been in business all my life, and I have never said a word of falsehood, and no distinguished guest has ever said that my goods are fakes. ”
There was another chatter at the bottom, "Indeed, the One-Eyed King did not sell fakes!"
"Then she is really the princess of the Northern King!" the eyes of both men and women in the crowd shone brightly.
"Distinguished guests, everyone must have heard of the princess's various ** rhymes. But today, I have a big secret to tell you. ”
The One-Eyed King said this, and he deliberately stopped.
The people below were hung up and urged: "What secret?
"The secret is ...... Princess Xuan of the Northern King is still an unbudding flower bone!" As soon as the One-Eyed King spoke, the crowd boiled.
"It seems that this rumor is really not credible!" someone sighed.
"Haha! North King is such a useless soft egg!" someone scoffed arbitrarily.
"This woman is really a treasure!" someone praised.
……
Among these people, there was a blue-robed and white-robed man who never said a word, and they all looked at the stage fixedly, as if they all had the determination to achieve the woman of the North King.
"Quiet, everyone!" said the One-Eyed King, and the crowd fell silent again.
The one-eyed king raised his voice and said, "Start bidding now, her reserve price is 10,000 taels ......"
"I'll give you twenty thousand taels!" shouted the big golden tooth.
"Thirty thousand taels," someone immediately shouted.
At this time, the one-eyed king said: "Please listen to me, your distinguished guests, her reserve price is 10,000 taels of gold!", everyone listened, and the bottom was silent, and then looked at the two people who had just bidd, they all lowered their heads and were silent.
At this time, the blue-robed man who had been waiting shouted, "I'll add a hundred taels of gold!", such a high price, he originally thought that no one could bid with him.
But the white-robed man who was waiting like him shouted, "Add a thousand taels!"
The blue-robed man was startled, and hurriedly shouted, "Add two thousand taels!"
The white-robed man chased after him, "Add 10,000 taels!"
The blue-robed man shuddered, "Add 20,000 taels!"
The white-robed man's lips moved slightly, "Add 40,000 taels!"
Looking at the blue-robed man's eyes, there was already fire in his eyes, and the price was raised endlessly, and it was the one-eyed king who benefited in the end. However, he thought about it, whether this woman is alive or dead, as long as she does not return to the Beiwang Mansion, her goal will be achieved.
Thinking of this, he arched his hand and said to the white-robed man: "Since this friend likes her so much, I will give her to you!"
As soon as the one-eyed king struck the gong, he shouted in a long voice: "Fifty thousand taels of gold are sold!" The maidservant helped Sun Xuan into the back hall, and the one-eyed king strode in.
All the people below who had gained went into the back hall, and those who did not have gained dispersed. The white-robed man also entered the back hall, and bought Sun Xuan out with one hand and delivery with the other. Sun Xuan was led out of the courtyard by his entourage and got into the carriage that had been prepared, and she was very obedient along the way, as if she had become a thoughtless walking corpse. **
