Chapter 578: The Secret of the Year
"This is the country of Wu, not their Kyushu country, she actually dares to argue with the prince, she has eaten the gall of a bear heart and a leopard!"
The prince frowned slightly, glanced at Bai Jinyu's back, there was a trace of ice in his eyes, and said coldly: "Sixty thousand taels." ”
Although they were all rich and noble, some of them only had tens of thousands of taels of silver in their whole family, and when they heard the prince's words, their faces changed, and they didn't dare to say a word, but they only dared to watch the gods fight quietly here.
A few years ago, the Sikong Auction also auctioned the white bone root, but it only sold 40,000 taels of silver, and now the prince's bid seems to be about to double.
Bai Jinyu is the princess of Kyushu Kingdom, and the crown prince is the prince of Wuguo Kingdom, once he loses, it is difficult to ensure that there is humanity that Wuguo is not as good as Kyushu Kingdom, gossiping behind his back, what they are fighting for now is not just a medicinal herb, but the majesty of a country.
Bai Jinyu collected a lot of money when he was in the ghost gate, his business was in full swing, and he also had a large amount of income every day, and the pile of silver was not exhausted, and the most important thing was silver, and he was naturally not afraid to compare silver with the prince.
However, Bai Jinyu didn't care if she could win the crown prince, she just wanted the white bone root, that's all.
"One hundred thousand taels."
Bai Jinyu's eyes were indifferent, and her lips were lightly opened.
There was an instant gasping sound all around!
For the sake of a medicinal herb, take out 100,000 taels, is she crazy?
The prince frowned slightly, and also felt that a white bone root was not worth the price, but he didn't want to be defeated like this, so he said coldly: "130,000 taels." ”
"Two hundred thousand taels."
After Bai Jinyu spoke, even the prince had a cold face, feeling that Bai Jinyu was deliberately targeting him, and he didn't think that Bai Jinyu could get so much silver, so he only hooked his lips coldly, waiting to see Bai Jinyu's joke.
Hongjin's eyes moved slightly, looked at the prince's face, and said tentatively: "Does anyone still want to increase the price?" ”
When she finished speaking, the prince's face was dark and he did not speak.
It's not that he can't afford a higher price, but a white bone root, which is not worth his hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Although collecting medicinal herbs is his hobby, he is more willing to use hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to recruit troops and horses to enhance national strength.
Seeing that the prince was silent, Hongjin picked up the jade hammer and slammed it on the jade table.
"Two hundred thousand two times, two hundred thousand two times, two hundred thousand two times, two hundred thousand two or three times, deal! Does the girl pay the deposit first, or will she pay the full amount in one lump sum? ”
Because 200,000 taels of silver is really too much, Hongjin is also afraid that Bai Jinyu will not bring enough silver, so she is allowed to pay the deposit first, and then pay the balance after going back to get the money.
The prince's eyes were heavy, he raised his chin slightly, and looked at Bai Jinyu lightly, in his opinion, Bai Jinyu could not even get a deposit.
"200,000 taels of silver, even the deposit has to be tens of thousands of taels?"
"She is not married, she has neither a dowry nor her own fief, where can she have so much silver? If she dares to tease us Wuguo, I will not spare her! ”
Everyone looked at Bai Jinyu coldly, their eyes were full of hostility, they thought that their voices were very low, but they didn't know that Bai Jinyu could hear them all.
Bai Jinyu looked directly into Hongjin's eyes and said coldly: "Is it paying here, or is it in the background?" ”
Hongjin had heard that Jiuhongluan's martial arts were strong, and she was afraid that she would go backstage and repay the bills, so she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Our auction is over, the girl doesn't have to go backstage anymore, just pay here." ”
After that, Hongjin glanced at the little girl, and the little girl understood, so he walked in front of Bai Jinyu and said with a smile: "The girl will give me the silver." ”
Although the little guy was smiling, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and his eyes stared at Bai Jinyu tightly, as if he was afraid that Bai Jinyu would run away.
After that, Bai Jinyu took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, counted out twenty of them, and handed them to the little maid. With the silver in hand, you can immediately exchange it for cash in the bankery!
Xiao Wu has seen a lot of silver tickets, and she has already practiced a sharp eye, she only glanced at it, and knew that the silver ticket in Bai Jinyu's hand was real, and even if she changed her face, she hurriedly held the twenty silver tickets in her hand.
"Wait a minute, girl, the little one will bring the white bone root immediately!"
After saying that, the little guy sneered and sent the silver ticket to the backstage, and then packaged the white bone root and put it in Bai Jinyu's hands.
As everyone knows, the people of Sikong Auction House have vicious eyes, and it is impossible to collect fake silver tickets, and since they have accepted the silver tickets, it means that the stack of silver tickets that Bai Jinyu took out are all real!
And that stack of silver tickets must have at least a million taels of silver......
She just carried a million taels of silver into her arms so casually, wasn't she afraid of attracting thieves? Where did she get so many silver tickets!
Everyone's faces changed greatly, and when Bai Jinyu stood up, everyone subconsciously stood up, not daring to sit down in front of Bai Jinyu, and took two steps back to make way for Bai Jinyu!
The prince looked at Bai Jinyu's back, his eyes became colder and colder, so he stood up, followed behind Bai Jinyu, and walked out of the auction house with her.
"Stop."
The prince's face was cold, and his eyes seemed to contain broken ice.
Bai Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes sank: "I have no grievances or enmity with His Highness, what does Your Highness mean by this?" ”
"The princess is out on business?"
"Regardless of His Highness's affairs, if His Highness doesn't get out of the way, I'm not welcome."
"Heh......"
The crown prince sneered, his eyes seemed to contain a vast galaxy, and he looked directly into Bai Jinyu's eyes: "How can you be polite to this hall?" ”
As he spoke, he took a few steps closer to Bai Jinyu, pressing closer and closer, his eyes becoming more and more cold.
"Your Highness, seeing that there are few people here, want to take the white bone root from me?"
Bai Jinyu took two steps back, her eyes cold to the bone.
"The main hall is not so unbearable."
"If Your Highness wants the white bone root, I can immediately give the white bone root to Your Highness, and order Your Highness to give your Highness ten million taels of silver for His Highness to recruit troops and buy horses, but I have one condition, I want a thousand leaves."
It is not enough for Bai Jinyu to get the white bone root, she needs to find the thousand leaf grass, and there is no thousand leaf grass auction in the auction, Bai Jinyu will have to find the prince again sooner or later, and ask about the thousand leaf grass, since he found it himself, she will not beat around the bush, and directly explain her purpose.
The thousand leaf grass is much more precious than the white bone root, not to mention ten million taels of silver, even if it is several times more, it is worth it.
To put it mildly, in the entire Blazing Sun Continent, there may only be one thousand leaf grass left, this is a priceless treasure, not something that money can measure.
The prince's eyes were cold, and he sneered: "Impossible." ”
Just a white bone root wants to exchange for a thousand leaves? Don't say that if you add 10 million taels of silver, even if you give more, it's nonsense!
As soon as Bai Jinyu saw the prince's reaction, he knew that he had a thousand leaves in his hand.
A cold glint flashed across her eyes, and she said word by word: "I took the thousand leaf clovers to save the emperor of Wuguo, the father of His Royal Highness." ”
"What are you doing in this hall?"
Bai Jinyu's heart moved: "Your Highness has a conflict with Your Majesty?" ”
But after thinking about it, the royal family is ruthless, even if there is no contradiction between the two of them, the prince will not hope that the emperor will be good, but only that he will return to the west as soon as possible and inherit the throne himself.
"It has nothing to do with you, answer the questions of the main temple. Where do you do business? Is it in Kyushu or Matsuriyang, or Wuguo? ”
"Your Highness wants to cooperate with me?"
"Just ask."
"Your Highness might as well answer my question first, how can Your Highness be willing to give me the Thousand Leaf Grass?"
"Nothing is possible."
"I heard that there was a thousand leaf grass in the palace, but it disappeared a few years ago, and His Highness stole it?"
After Bai Jinyu finished speaking, the prince's face turned cold: "It's just that a thief stole it and transferred it to the hands of the main hall." ”
The prince was a straight man, and although he had a bad temperament, he did not disdain to lie.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I won't tell Your Majesty about this."
"It's okay for you to tell him, you help the temple investigate one thing, if you can investigate it, the temple can directly give you the thousand leaves."
The prince slowly narrowed his deep eyes and looked directly into Bai Jinyu's eyes.
"What?"
"The main hall wants to know if there was a twin sister in the main hall when the mother gave birth to the main hall, and where she went later."
The prince has been investigating this matter for more than ten years, but there is no clue about it, and he is worried about this matter.
"Who did the prince listen to that you have a twin sister?"
Bai Jinyu raised her eyebrows and said.
"When I was a child in this hall, I heard an old lady who was washing clothes in the palace talking to someone, and said, 'It would be good if the princess was still alive, and now she must be several years old, and the prince can also have a companion'. Two days after the old lady said this, I could not find her in the palace again.
A year ago, the main hall found a corpse in the well water of a deserted courtyard in the palace, and the main hall verified that the corpse was the old mother's, and the bones in her neck were broken, obviously strangled to death, and thrown into the well. ”
A cold glint flashed in the prince's eyes.
"What does the prince mean is that the old lady was killed because she leaked the secret? Someone doesn't want this to be known to everyone? ”
Bai Jinyu had a deep thought on her face.
If she finds out about this matter, the prince is willing to give her the thousand leaves, and she is willing to find out, but there are too few clues in this matter, and it is really difficult to investigate.
If, as the prince said, Princess Yan is the twin sister of the prince, then when the queen gave birth to him, she gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, why did the prince only survive? Who exactly doesn't want a princess alive?
At that time, the princess was just a baby, who would kill the baby?
The prince nodded, said a few more words to Bai Jinyu, and then turned his head and left here after taking it with one hand.
The prince's eyes were cold, and he was dressed in red to hunt and hunt, he didn't believe that Bai Jinyu could find out about this at all, maybe he just used this as an excuse, he didn't want to pester Bai Jinyu and asked him for a thousand leaves.
"Don't worry, the prince, within three days, I will definitely find out the matter."
After Bai Jinyu finished speaking, the prince paused, not knowing what he was thinking, he did not answer Bai Jinyu, but continued to walk forward.
After that, Bai Jinyu walked in the direction of the palace, preparing to go back to the palace to investigate the matter, but when she was halfway there, she suddenly remembered the ridiculous drama such as the tanuki changing the prince, slowed down, pondered for a while, and frowned slightly.
The queen is above 10,000 people, if she gives birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, who can touch her child? Who can kill an old woman and still have nothing? This is a human life, why hasn't anyone investigated it thoroughly?
Unless...... From beginning to end, the only person who did it in secret was the queen herself.
It was she who killed her newborn daughter, leaving the prince alone, and later she was afraid that the matter would be leaked, so she killed the old lady again.
But what is the purpose of the queen doing this?
Bai Jinyu was suspicious of the queen, but she didn't have any evidence, and her thoughts were a little confused for a while.
As soon as she arrived in the palace, she heard a grandmother not far away, reprimanding the palace maid, no matter how the grandmother beat and scolded, the palace maid only cared about crying, but she couldn't cry, it looked very weird.
When Bai Jinyu returned to the palace, she happened to pass by here, so she glanced at the palace maid.
"Little slut! You can't even wash your clothes, what else can you do! ”
Mama grabbed the palace maid's arm, then took a wooden stick, and hit her spine hard, the palace maid's forehead was full of fine sweat, and her mouth grew in pain, but she couldn't say a word!
