In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Concubine Qi did not stay long before leaving.

That night, Gu Shenyuan stood at the door, looking at the back of his mother leaving, and felt deep guilt in his heart.

Before his mother didn't come, he also blamed himself in his heart, even if things are special now, but he can't be filial in front of his father and mother, which has been a big crime since ancient times.

But the mother concubine not only didn't blame him, but also sent him a coil.

She knew that if this matter was known by her father, she would be convicted of treason, and sent to the dungeon like Jiang Ruanyan now, waiting to be released.

If you are light, you will also be sent to the cold palace and die alone in the deep palace.

But the mother concubine was not frightened, she still came in order to see her son for the last time.

Sending off his mother, Gu Shenyuan didn't dare to delay, and continued to be busy with the matter at hand.

When the sky was just hazy, the night watchman was sleepy, Gu Shenyuan changed into a black coat, and secretly sprinkled the powder that had been prepared into the tea of the person on duty.

He lit incense in the servants' lounge, and then he went back into the house.

With the crowing of a rooster, every household pushes open the door, opens the window, and starts a new day.

Today is a heavy day for them, and the most joyful day for those who have money.

Because the auction conference started today, everyone is eyeing Jiang Ruanyan's assets.

The former enemy has now become such a deplorable scene, and of course they all want to step on it.

The auction was held at the entrance of the Heart Pavilion, and early in the morning the workers came to set up the stage, and the surrounding teahouses also opened.

Regardless of whether they can shoot their favorite things today, they will definitely make enough money for tea anyway.

The boss opened the door happily, and the people happily sat in.

Today, ordinary rich and noble ladies can only sit on the first floor, because the private room on the second floor has been filled by the nobles of the court and the central government.

Xue Rong and Zhang Mingshan came to their private room early in the morning, and the location of this room was directly opposite the door of the Xinyuan Pavilion, which was the stage of the auction hall, which was an excellent position to watch the auction.

And the housekeepers who obeyed the command and participated in the auction also came to the auction table early, just to occupy a good position.

To the surrounding area, it is full of people standing to watch the excitement.

As soon as the time came, Lord Tobe Shangshu Wang walked to the stage with the holy decree and read the auction to the public.

Zhang Mingshan was very excited to watch from the side, but the door behind him was suddenly pushed open, and when he looked back, it was Guan Qinchao.

Seeing him, the smile on Zhang Mingshan's face swept away.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not used to it when I just returned to the capital, and I accidentally overslept."

Guan Qinchao grinned greatly, walked to the table and pulled out a stool for himself, and began to pour tea.

Every action looked vulgar in Zhang Mingshan's eyes.

In fact, when Xue Rong and Zhang Mingshan chose this position, no one told Guan Qinchao, but Guan Qinchao still found it.

This was to be expected, but it was clear that he was not welcome.

Guan Qin Chao didn't mind at all, it didn't matter if he sat behind the two adults, he could see it clearly anyway.

Xue Rong has always looked calm and relaxed since Qin Chao came in, fanning his fan and watching every move under the stage.

Anyway, everything has already been arranged, and even if Qin Chao sits here, it won't affect him.

The auction conference officially began, as if it was deliberately arranged, and it was clear that the things in the Heart Pavilion were what everyone wanted the most, but it was put in the back.

The first auction was the assets of Jishitang, from antique vases, solid wood tables, chairs and benches, to the title deeds of the houses.

And Xue Rong was not interested in any of this, Zhang Mingshan was very itchy about the momentum of that land, but his money was not enough at all.

wanted to persuade Xue Rong to buy the land with him, but he didn't have that convincingness.

So I could only watch that the big mansion was bought by a famous silk merchant in the capital at a very low price.

After that, they began to auction off Nishizawa's bizarre gadgets again.

Those things, every one of them was brought to the table, and the people looked confused, and the rich people didn't know why.

Lord Wang stood on the stage, reading the explanation presented to him by Governor Zhang.

This explanation is that after hearing that there was an auction, Governor Zhang went to the dungeon to ask Nishizawa to write down an explanation of each object, so that it could be used for explanation during the auction.

But even with this explanation, everyone still doesn't know how to operate, and these things are still useless.

Even though the auction started at 5 cents, there were still several items that no one participated in the auction and had to be disposed of as garbage.

Several times, Jiang Shutong, who was hiding in the crowd, was heartbroken when he watched those objects being destroyed on the spot

She'd seen firsthand how Nishizawa manipulated those objects to create what could be called miraculous sights, even physical objects.

But in the eyes of these people, it becomes worthless.

She also wanted to participate in the auction, but her brother saw her mind early on and warned her that she would never try.

No one understands these things, but anyone who has spent time with Nishizawa must know it.

She said that taking the risk of participating in the auction at this time will definitely attract everyone's attention, which is the last thing the Jiang family wants today, so Jiang Shutong can only press the hand that wants to raise the card.

Not only her, but the members of the Jiang clan who were hidden among the people were all very distressed.

Whenever they saw familiar objects, and saw the things that the young lady loved being auctioned, they hated the root of their teeth.

But when she saw the projector, she couldn't help but whisper a few words to the people next to her.

The people at the bottom took advantage of the chaos and ran to the auction backstage.

After dealing with these broken copper and iron, it finally came to the main event, and the assets of the Heart Pavilion were auctioned.

However, they are still ranked from low to high in value, so what has just started to be auctioned is only the skin care product series of Xinyuan Pavilion.

These have attracted the hearts of many girls.

Although the pricing in the past was not too expensive for those young ladies, Jiang Ruanyan's favor in front of Gu Shenyuan was an insult to them.

So they have always been reluctant to buy too much, but now that these things are sold at a low price, of course they like it.

Who in this world doesn't want to be beautiful, it's just that they can't pull it off on weekdays.

It's good now, it can be said that I bought it completely to trample on Jiang Ruanyan, and deliberately bought these things at a low price.

On the day of the execution, she will definitely let people smash these things in front of Jiang Ruanyan in front of her.

But after taking it home, try it a few times first, and others won't be able to see it.

So although the rich people were not interested in those things, they had to raise their cards for the sake of their wives and daughters, and the scene was once hot.

I finally dealt with these, and finally arrived at the core technology of the Heart Pavilion.

The official stepped forward with a tray containing only a book of cheats.

Lord Wang stood on the stage and shouted.

"The next auction item, the secret formula of Xinyuange sunscreen, this formula has passed the inspection of the quality inspection institute, and the product has been selling well once it is on the market. The starting price is fifty taels, and the bidding is now open. ”

As soon as the words fell, the owner of the largest rouge gouache shop in the city immediately raised his card, he can be said to be the most interested in Jiang Ruanyan's mysterious formulas, of course, he is not willing to miss this opportunity.

"Boss Chen of Yanzhifang, sixty taels!"

As soon as Lord Wang finished shouting, the housekeeper of the Li family on the left also raised a sign.

Miss just told him this morning that he must take this thing back, no matter how much it costs.

"Li Mansion, seventy taels."

This time, before Lord Wang's words were almost finished, he saw the raised hand again.

He had to speed up his speech, and the people below raised their signs.

However, Xue Rong and Zhang Mingshan did not move, and Guan Qinchao couldn't help but step forward curiously to ask.

"Two adults, why don't you participate in the auction?"

This is all one hundred and fifty taels, but the people under Xue Rong and Zhang Mingshan have not raised their hands once.

Didn't they say before that if they want to buy it, they can buy Jiang Ruanyan's core technology? This sunscreen sells so well, isn't it a core technology?

Xue Rong turned his head with a smile and said to Guan Qinchao, "General Guan, let's not worry, you came late, you shouldn't have heard the holy decree that Lord Wang read before." ”

He turned around, smiling but reluctant to deal with people, and continued.

"What the Holy One means is that the proceeds of this auction will still be added to the treasury first, and then it will be distributed to the victims or sent to the army to supplies."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Mingshan hurriedly added.

"General Guan, please rest assured, because the auction is public, so how much money you get in total today, the people can see it, and we don't have to worry about corruption."

He deliberately said not to worry, but 1 Nishizawa clearly knew that no matter what, he couldn't escape this step.

As long as these corrupt officials in the imperial court want to, no matter how strict the emperor is, they can still use their own methods to get money from the treasury.

Not to mention the auction in front of everyone's eyes today, even if it is counting the silver in front of everyone's eyes. These adults can also quietly take the silver away under the noses of the people, just like a trick.

"It's a good recipe, but when you think you can do things for the people and the barracks, why not wait for the bid to be higher? It should be regarded as a piece of the old body's heart. ”

Xue Rong smiled proudly, but Guan Qin Chao clearly knew that he was talking nonsense at all.

It's good if Xue Rong doesn't embezzle, and he still thinks about donating money.

"Deal!" As Xingmu slapped loudly on the table, the recipe was sold.

From the original fifty taels to 1,280 taels, during this period, neither Xue Rong nor Zhang Mingshan signaled that the people under them raised their cards.

"Oh, it's really unfortunate, you look at the kung fu of talking for a while, this thing was bought by someone else, hey, you can only look at the same."

Xue Rong also pretended to be regretful.

"Don't worry, adults, there's still a lot left, let's take a look." Guan Qinchao also responded on the side.

He wanted to see what the hell the two old thieves were up to.
