Today, the weather is exceptionally sunny and the streets are bustling with activity. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because today is the first day of the official start of the auction at Tongyong Commercial Bank, such an auction usually lasts for three days.
According to the old rules, the auction house did not take out the finale until the last day, but divided several items that could be used as the finale into three days, and of course the most valuable finale item was saved for the last item on the last day, which is undoubted.
And the last item in each auction is not ordinary, and it will be auctioned at a sky-high price, which is why the Chamber of Commerce has always attracted everyone.
Lin Xin and Bai Kai rode the carriage of the Hou Mansion and walked for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at the place where Tongyong Commercial Bank held an auction.
Bai Kai jumped out of the carriage first and opened the curtain.
"Young Master Lin, the auction venue has arrived." Bai Kai said with excitement on his face.
Lin Xin got out of the carriage and looked at the situation in front of him, the temporary building in front of him was huge, as if it was a giant existence, a piece of land was encircled with wooden planks around it, and there were many strong men wearing Tongyong Chamber of Commerce costumes next to him, responsible for inspecting the surroundings of the venue, and the movements of the team were unified, all of these people were well-trained and extraordinary. It seems that the guards used by Tongyong Commercial Bank to guard and maintain order at the venue have also invested a lot of money.
And such a large venue seems to be estimated to be able to accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 people, and it is estimated that only a powerful firm like Tongyong Commercial Bank can have such material and financial resources to build an auction of this level. The shops on the street in the neighborhood are also booming because of the popularity of the trading houses.
There were also seven or eight luxurious carriages parked not far in front of Lin Xin, and there were several people in noble clothes who did not enter, greeting each other, looking at the momentum exuded by their outfits and raising their hands and feet, they should be people in high positions.
However, Lin Xin didn't know any of them, so he didn't look at anything else, and walked up directly with Bai Kai, handed over the purple gilded invitation sticker, and immediately a clever little guy took Lin Xin inside.
When he came, when Bai Kai saw Lin Xin take out the purple gilded invitation sticker, he couldn't help but show excitement, which made Lin Xin a little strange, so Bai Kai explained.
It turns out that the Tongyong Chamber of Commerce has divided the invited posts into several levels, the general ones are red, and they are auctioned in the hall, and the purple ones are the highest ones, all of which are served by special people in private rooms, and except for the last item, the others have the right to know in advance what the next auction will be, although this convenience is dispensable, but sometimes it still has a lot of effect.
When I walked inside, nearly half of the seats were already full, and it was estimated that there were tens of thousands of people.
"Lin Gongzi, yours is room No. 3, on the second floor, please here. You can find your room by following the concierge number above, and each room has a door number on it that corresponds to the invitation. After the little servant led Lin Xin in, he explained a little.
Lin Xin nodded.
The entrance to the second floor was guarded by four people, all of them were fierce and vicious, and they looked like they were not easy to mess with, and after seeing Lin Xin take out a purple invitation, he respectfully let him go.
So Lin Xin and Bai Kai went up to the second floor.
As soon as I walked up to the second floor, two people came up to me.
Walking in front is an old man who is over the age of six, full of silver hair, and looks weak, but he walks silently, his eyes are full of essence, obviously a martial arts master, and the other is a middle-aged fat man who is slightly rich, with a mustache on both sides.
Coincidentally, Lin Xin has seen these two people, the silver-haired old man, Lin Xin after coming down from Cuiyunxuan last time, the other party also tried to take away his money bag, but he was cleverly resolved by himself, but at this moment, he changed the original beggar-like clothes into a luxurious and new clothes, but his martial arts have improved a lot, and he has entered the innate realm, it seems that there are many opportunities during this time.
And the middle-aged fat man is the old uncle who hasn't seen him for more than half a year, and now he is following the silver-haired old man, it seems that the relationship is not simple, but he didn't expect the other party to also enter the capital, so I don't know what the reason is.
Lin Xin walked in front of the two with the same expression, and the old uncle on the opposite side glanced at Lin Xin with a puzzled face, but when the two of them passed by, Uncle Lao Zhong's face suddenly changed, but he quickly recovered.
"The eighth room of the land number has arrived, let's go in, Zhongming, hey, Zhongming, what's wrong with you, your face seems to be a little wrong." The silver-haired old man looked at Uncle Lao Zhong's face a little unnatural, and asked a little strangely.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I just saw a young man, and his martial arts look quite strong, it's just a little strange." Uncle Zhong returned.
"What's so strange about this, you haven't been back to Bianjing for many years, and it's normal for a few geniuses to come out here, but the Yin Fire Fruit you handed over to the gang last time helped me a lot, it was a medicine guide I had been looking for for a long time, and I could get lucky to advance with this fruit, otherwise I don't know if it is possible to advance to the innate again in this life, so if you fancy something this time, you are welcome, you can just shoot it, it can be regarded as a reward for you." But the young man just now was indeed a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. The white-haired old man said at the end, frowning and thinking a little puzzled.
"Deputy Gang Leader Ling has already reached the ninth order of the Great Achievement, it is a matter of time before I advance, I just happened to be at the right time, how dare I ask for credit, and the gang has already compensated me for offering the Yin Fire Fruit." Uncle Zhong thought for a while, and then asked, "But that young man just now, does Deputy Gang Leader Ling know who this person is?" ā
"It seems that I have seen it somewhere, but I forgot it for a while, I may have come across it by accident, I don't have to worry about this, I heard that there will be a few good Dingxi today, and even the pills of the martial arts realm are available, wait for you to take some pictures, so that you can also improve the realm." The silver-haired old man interrupted.
"Thank you." Uncle Zhong threw away other thoughts and replied.
On the other side, Lin Xin and Bai Kai entered the room, and they hadn't started yet, but tea and some pastries were prepared inside, and Bai Kai stepped forward and poured the tea.
"Who were those two just now, do you have any imprints?" After Lin Xin sat down, he asked Bai Kai.
"The silver-haired old man is Deputy Gang Leader Ling of the Thunder Dragon Gang, almost half of the people in this capital know him, and the fat man who follows behind is not very clear, Deputy Gang Leader Ling has always been alone, and there is rarely a time to lead his subordinates. It's kind of weird. Bai Kai thought for a while and replied.
"Oh, he's famous." Lin Xin asked.
"Of course, this Deputy Ling gang leader has a special habit, that is, he likes to steal other people's things, if he steals other people's valuables, he will return them to you when he gets tired of playing for two days, but if you dare to report to the government, not only will the things not be returned, but he will also keep an eye on you until you apologize to him in person, because he is clever and can't catch any evidence at all. After a long time, the people who are targeted by him can only consider themselves unlucky. Bai Kai said in detail.
"In this way, this man is also a wonderful person." Lin Xin touched his chin and replied.
