Chapter Seventy-Six: The Auction

As soon as Duanmu Rui shouted, someone followed, and the price rose by 20%, and then another person followed, and it rose by 20%, which is estimated to be arranged in advance, just to raise the price.

Duanmu Rui shouted again, it rose by one percent, there were not many people, and no one shouted anymore, but this old clay pot was in Duanmu Rui's hand, and Duanmu Rui turned around and gave it to Su Wanyan.

"You bought it for me?" Su Wanyan was a little surprised, hesitated for a moment and then took it in her hand.

"I think you're interested." Duanmu Rui said with a smile.

"Thank you very much." Su Wanyan smiled and looked down at the clay pot carefully.

"Sister, are you really interested in this old antique?" Su Heming asked her in a strange whisper.

"No, I just wanted to see it, and Brother Wang kindly took a picture."

Su Wanyan's heart was a little complicated at this time, recently Duanmu Rui has frequently shown her goodwill, and emphasized that she is the only hostess in the house in front of her subordinates, and she is also drugged, and today she also took a picture of something that she only looked at twice, and she seemed to be quite touched.

But she remembered the hallucinations that appeared after being drugged by Yiqulong, Duanmu Rui abandoned her and married Qiu Yulin, she still feels sad when she recalls that scene, although this is an illusion, but in reality, the emperor can clearly tell her that Duanmu Rui has met Qiu Yulin again.

She was a little depressed when she thought about it, but soon came to the last finale, which the shopkeeper said was a peerless treasure and something that was some years old. Everyone knew that this was the main event, and the field was lively, and the noisy and shouting discussions were endless.

The main family has actually let out the wind, and it can be said that most people are coming for this treasure.

After the lot was brought up, it was placed on a round table half a person high, and the shopkeeper pressed the mechanism, and the table rotated, and everyone stretched their necks to look up, and found that it was a small thing, and everyone became curious, what is precious about this thing.

The shopkeeper said that this is the royal old thing of the previous dynasty, and it is the favorite jade ring of the Empress Dowager Anxi, carved into three pumpkins of different sizes, and the meaning is "melons stretch".

Speaking of Empress Dowager Anxi, she is a legendary woman, assisting three generations of emperors, very resourceful, and a peerless beauty, naturally there are some fragrant stories, it is said that there are hundreds of male favorites, and some ministers in the court are not involved.

Jadeite is indeed precious, but it has not become a treasure, rich and noble people who do not have a few such good things, but if it is the Empress Dowager Anxi's favorite thing is different, it can indeed be regarded as a rare treasure, people with status have a treasure like this in the rich circle can be upgraded a few grades, and the return it will bring in the future must be immeasurable.

The bidding has been wave after wave, and now it has risen to 2,000 taels of gold, and there are still people raising the price.

The auction was in full swing, and suddenly, all the dozen or so lanterns on the stage went out, and for the sake of secrecy, the windows and doors were closed, and the curtains were drawn tightly, and as soon as the lanterns were extinguished, the whole field was dark.

The shopkeeper hurriedly beckoned someone to light the lamp, but it was pitch black, and everyone's eyes couldn't adapt to it in time, only a ping-pong sound was heard, as if someone had fallen down the high steps, followed by a burst of screams and exclamations.

Su Heming grabbed Su Wanyan's hand tightly and whispered, "Sister, what can I do." How do I feel like something is going to happen. ”

Su Wanyan comforted him: "Don't be afraid, there is still a sister." ”

In the dark, everyone got up from their chairs, many people panicked, some people shouted to open the windows, open the doors, and some people wanted to go out, people squeezed me, I squeezed you, and the chairs also made a collision sound, and the scene was chaotic.

Su Wanyan and the three of them were also squeezed around, she hugged Su Heming, and Duanmu Rui also reached out to hug Su Wanyan's waist and said to her, "Don't be squeezed apart." "It's like an explanation, and it seems to be admonishing.

Su Wanyan was silent, but her body was a little stiff, and when she felt Duanmu Rui's strong arms, her heart also settled down, and by the way, she was more confident about protecting Su Heming.

Suddenly, someone squeezed over, Su Heming was pushed upside down to Su Wanyan, and Su Wanyan was about to fall, so he was tightly hugged by Duanmu Rui.

Suddenly there was a light, and the guy in the auction hall came down from the upstairs with a lot of lighted lanterns, and the hall was suddenly brightly lit, Duanmu Rui hurriedly let go of Su Wanyan, but this scene was still seen by Su Heming, he was a little unhappy, but thinking of the relationship between his sister and that person, he could only sigh silently in his heart.

Just when everyone's hearts were settled, suddenly the shopkeeper let out an exclamation: "Baby! Where did the ring go! ”

In a hurry just now, he was so busy shouting at the guys to light the lamp that he forgot to put the treasure away, someone must have taken advantage of the darkness to steal it.

"Quick, quick, find." The shopkeeper was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked the guys to look for it on the table, he was the only one on the table just now, he didn't take it, maybe he accidentally touched the table, and the ring fell on the table.

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience became noisy again, and they were all talking about this matter, if this thing was lost, this auction hall would definitely lose a lot.

At this time, I heard a middle-aged man below stand up and say loudly: "I just saw a white shadow on the platform flickering, I didn't think much about it, now that the ring is lost, it must have been stolen by that person." ”

Then someone chimed in, "The white figure, I seem to have seen it just now, it was very fast, and it disappeared in a flash." ”

The doors and windows were closed, and the thief couldn't run out even if he stole something, so the shopkeeper asked the two people again if they saw it really, and the two people said that they did see a white figure.

"Look, isn't he dressed in white, he's a thief."

The person standing behind Duanmu Rui pointed at Duanmu Rui, and everyone focused their eyes on them, and it was strange today, except for Duanmu Rui, no one was wearing white clothes, but there were many people wearing gray cloth shirts.

Everyone saw that Duanmu Rui was magnificent, and he looked like a scholar, it shouldn't be him.

Someone asked if the two people who saw the white figure just now were wrong, and the two people said that they couldn't be wrong, and it was obvious that the person was wearing white clothes.

With a wave of the shopkeeper's hand, all the guys and thugs should have come over to surround Duanmu Rui, Duanmu Rui still looked like a light and breezy look, and he didn't argue.

However, Su Wanyan was a little anxious, and said to those people: "The three of us stood together just now, and he never left, it can't be that he stole it." ”

"That's right, my eldest brother's family has a lot of money and status, how can he commit theft." Su Heming was really a little panicked at this time, and he also stood up and spoke to Duanmu Rui.

Duanmu Rui glanced at him with a smile, and he scratched his nose a little embarrassed.

"The three of you are together, and you two are definitely going to help him talk."

The little fat man behind Duanmu Rui said again, and there were many people next to him who echoed.

But Su Wanyan remembered that when she came in, she seemed to see another person wearing white clothes, and the reason why she remembered it clearly was because she was still comparing those people with Duanmu Rui in her heart at that time, that person was also thin and long, but the result of the comparison was naturally that Duanmu Rui was more handsome and dusty.

But where are those people now, if only Lingxiu was here, as long as she has paid attention to it, it will definitely remember.

She thought about it and whispered a few words in Su Heming's ear, and Su Heming took advantage of the chaos to get short and left.

He walked around the crowd and walked around the back, but finding nothing unusual, he looked elsewhere, went around to the back of the large round platform, and finally saw two figures open the small door of the lobby and prepare to slip out.

He chased him out, and there was a courtyard outside, and there was a dwelling inside, surrounded by a very high wall.

"Where are you running?" Seeing that the man was about to climb out of the courtyard wall, Su Heming shouted and fired two sleeve arrows that he carried with him, the man was very dexterous, and in order to avoid his sleeve arrows, he flew down from the courtyard wall and hit Su Heming.

How could Su Heming be this person's opponent, he was beaten to the ground in a few clicks, but Su Heming still clung to his clothes and didn't let go.

He was wearing the jacket underneath at this time, and he obviously took off his coat and threw it somewhere.

"Don't you want to run, you thief, give it back."

No matter how the man hit, Su Heming grabbed him desperately and didn't let go, screaming in his mouth that he still didn't admit defeat.

The man was so entangled by him that he slapped him in the heart, and he immediately spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth, closed his eyes and fell unconscious.

At this moment, a man in a dark gray robe suddenly fell from the sky, grabbed the hand he wanted to kill, and the man wanted to resist, but was restrained and unable to move.

It was none other than Xiao Shi who came to save Su Heming, he came back from going out and saw the note left by Su Heming, saying that he was going to find his sister and then go to the auction hall to play together.

This is what Xiao Shi told him, when he goes out alone, he has to tell him where to go and who to go with.

Fortunately, he listened, Xiao Shi saw the note and looked for it, and when he saw that the front door was closed, he turned in from the backyard, but he didn't expect to see the situation in front of him as soon as he landed, and he also heard what Su Heming said.

Just as I was about to ask what was going on with this thief, a group of people came out of the back door, and there was Su Wanyan inside, Su Wanyan saw Su Heming lying unconscious on the ground, and saw Xiao Shi catch the thief, so he guessed what happened just now, and hurriedly thanked Xiao Shi, squatted down to probe Su Heming's pulse, feeling that the beating was slow, but there was no worry about his life.

"You see, this man must have stolen the ring." Su Wanyan pointed at the thieves and said.

Just now, she saw that Su Heming hadn't gone back, so she stood up and said that when she came in, she saw other people wearing white clothes, and they were staring at Duanmu Rui, and the thief must have taken advantage of this gap to escape.

The shopkeeper also had no idea, so he panicked even more, and immediately asked people to search, while also guarding Duanmu Rui.

Su Wanyan followed those people and asked them if there were any other doors to enter and exit, and they brought her here.

The ring was found on the thief's body on the spot, and Xiao Shi also hurriedly left with Su Heming and went back to heal him.

The guys brought the thief to the big round platform in the middle, and gave everyone an explanation, as for the ring, it will definitely not be auctioned again today.

The shopkeeper asked the guy to open the door, and everyone left one after another, but he stopped Duanmu Rui and Su Wanyan and confessed his mistake to Duanmu Rui, Duanmu Rui didn't want to be too concerned by everyone, so as not to be recognized, so he didn't say anything.

At this time, when everyone was gone, he said: "The loss of the ring is not trivial, and the shopkeeper's anxiety is inevitable." ”

The shopkeeper saw that Duanmu Rui was not like an ordinary person, so even if he was identified just now, he was only surrounded by people, and he was not interrogated and reprimanded, and he was even more cautious at this time, although Duanmu Rui did not look like an investigation, but he still said: "I have offended a lot today, in order to apologize, the villain is willing to agree to a request from the son, you can mention it." ”

"If you ask for it......" Duanmu Rui glanced at Su Wanyan, Su Wanyan didn't say anything, he couldn't think of any request for a while, so he said, "Write it down first, maybe there will be something to find the shopkeeper in the future, and it will not be too late to make a request at that time." ”

The shopkeeper smiled, but he complained in his heart, if he thought about it in the future, it must be something difficult to do, but it was not easy to take back what he said, so he had to agree.

Duanmu Rui saw the shopkeeper's strong smile, so he said: "You don't have to worry, I will never make it difficult for others, and I will not make excessive demands." ”

The shopkeeper immediately cried bitterly, "The villain is also not easy to do, you see today, if it weren't for the help of this son, the ring was lost, the store would have to close the door, you are the benefactor of the shop, no matter what the requirements are, as long as the villain can do his best." ”

As he spoke, he bowed to Su Wanyan, and Su Wanyan accepted it calmly.
