After all the quotations of more than 200 merchants were announced, Kang Yide ordered the two little eunuchs to list the ten highest quotations.

The merchant with the highest price actually quoted 15,000 yuan, and the reserve price that was originally only 1,000 yuan was quoted fifteen times more.

After being reported, a little eunuch walked into the small elegant room and reported to Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong: "Lord Qiyu, Mrs., Second Lady, there are already owners of the ten seats in the back row, and the highest bidder is 15,000 Guan, and the tenth place is also 13,000 Guan, a total of 138,000 Guan!" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand to keep an eye on it again, and report it again when there was news.

Wan Yutong said: "Zhao Junsheng, this number is 12,000 less than you predicted!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "How can you predict it so accurately, but these merchants are really rich, you can fancy the quotations in the middle row and the front row, the really powerful ones haven't shot yet!" ”

Outside the small private room, Kang Yide raised his hands and said loudly: "Okay, proprietors, be quiet, be quiet!" The ten seats in the back row are already famous, and now we will make an offer for ten seats in the middle row, come on, and send blank folds to the proprietors! ”

Several eunuchs walked over with trays full of folds and asked the merchants to receive another one each.

Kang Yide and others all received the excerpt and said: "The reserve price of each middle row seat is 2,000 yuan, and less than 2,000 yuan is regarded as an automatic waiver of qualifications, and the top ten people in the quotation will get a seat, and the person with the highest quotation sits in the middle, and arranges to both sides in turn, now please start writing your quotation on the excerpt, this time you still have a time to consider for tea, start now!" ”

The time for a cup of tea passed quickly, and this time the speed of the merchants was much faster than before, and it took less than a cup of tea to write it all.

Kangyi sent the eunuchs to collect all the quotations of the merchants, and once again made public their quotations.

This time, as Zhao Junsheng said, everyone's offer has increased a lot, the first offer reached 18,000 guan, and the next considerable part is close to 20,000 guan.

However, soon there were more than 20,000 offers, and after everyone's offers were announced, everyone had different expressions on their faces.

The highest offer for the middle row seat reached 28,000 yuan, and the 10th place bid was 26,000 yuan.

The little eunuch ran into the private room again and reported to Zhao Junsheng and the others: "The master, the eldest lady, the second lady, the total quotation of the ten seats in the middle row is 270,000 yuan!" ”

Hua Mulan said: "With the offer of ten seats in the back row, there are already 400,000 yuan by now!" ”

The competition for the ten seats in the front row was the fiercest, and this time Concier gave a moment to think about it, and all the businessmen were guessing about the other people's psychological bottom line offers, and then carefully wrote their own offers.

A moment passed, and Consort said loudly: "The hour has come, come and collect all the quotations of the proprietors!" ”

A few eunuchs took the trays and began to collect them one by one, and soon collected all the folds, and then began to publish everyone's quotations again.

"Fan De, the proprietor of Youzhou Fan's Commercial Bank, offers 45,000 yuan!"

As soon as this offer came out, not to mention Zhao Junsheng and others in the small private room, even many businessmen in the lobby gasped.

"Lu Yue, the proprietor of Fanyang Lu's Commercial Bank, offers 50,000 yuan!"

At the beginning, there were two such high offers, which made many businessmen whose prices were less than 40,000 yuan, like frosted eggplants.

The next quotation dropped, and a large number of quotations below 40,000 yuan appeared, after all, these merchants had to weigh and consider whether they could recover the return through this canonization ceremony if the quotation was too high.

Some people evaluate in their hearts that if the offer exceeds 40,000 yuan, even if they get a seat, they may not be able to get it back through this canonization ceremony.

However, there are also people who think that even if the offer of 50,000 kan is worth it as long as you can get a front row seat, these people think that as long as you can get a front row seat, the benefits will be reflected through fame and official recognition, and even the royal family's recognition.

This time, it took a quarter of an hour to announce the offer, and as Zhao Junsheng expected, everyone in the top ten bidders quoted more than 50,000 yuan, the most quoted was 52,000 yuan, and the last one was 50,000 yuan.

The little eunuch walked into the private room and reported to Zhao Junsheng and the others: "Master, eldest lady, second lady, the sum of the quotations for the ten seats in the front row is 500,041,000, plus the previous 400,000, a total of 900,040,100!" ”

Wan Yutong was speechless for a long time after hearing this number, and when she came back to her senses, she asked, "Mulan, how much money will it cost to run this canonization hall?" ”

Hua Mulan smiled: "It depends on how to do it, if you really want to do it big, regardless of the cost, even if you have more money, you can burn it out!" ”

Wan Yutong hurriedly said: "Don't be too extravagant and wasteful, most areas on both sides of the Yellow River have been affected to varying degrees this year, and the canonization ceremony should not be too luxurious, I think it should be simpler, so as not to be criticized!" ”

Hua Mulan said: "Yutong, you can rest assured, I have already explained this matter to Kang Yide, and I must handle the canonization ceremony so that you will not feel wronged, and so that others will not be able to find out the thorns!" ”

Outside, Kang Yide said to the businessmen: "Everyone, the thirty seats in the front, middle and back have been famous so far, and the proprietors who have not won the seats should not be discouraged, maybe there will be a chance in the future, after all, the prince, the king of Shu and others are not young, and they have not officially married yet, maybe there will be results in this year or two, and you should also have the opportunity to participate in the celebration at that time!"

Then, please hand over the money as soon as possible after the 30 hopeful proprietors go back, and they must be handed over before March 15 in exchange for an invitation to enter the ceremony. ”

Someone raised his hand and asked, "Chief Administrator, if someone obtains the qualification for the seat and gives up the qualification for the seat without paying the offer within the specified time, can someone else take over?" ”

Kang Yide nodded: "Of course, we have everyone's offer this time, if one of the first ten people gives up the seat qualification, then the proprietor who ranks in the eleventh offer will automatically get the seat qualification, considering that many of you may not be in Chang'an at that time, and the one with the highest price will get it at that time!"

However, we would like to remind you here that this is not child's play, and if anyone takes this as child's play, he and his firm will lose all integrity here in the royal family! ”

What are the consequences of a comptoir that loses its integrity here in the royal family? All the businessmen present only thought about it with their toes, and knew that such a trading house would definitely be struggling in the Great Qian Empire in the future, as long as the royal family announced the news and announced that this trading house was the most dishonest trading house, there would definitely be no one to do business with it again, and then they would wait to close down!

Zhao Junsheng didn't worry too much about the canonization ceremony, mainly Hua Mulan was in charge, and Wan Yutong, as one of the parties, occasionally came up with ideas, and the specific person who did the work was Kang Yide.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, all the yamen of the imperial court are stepping up to finish their official duties, and then they will prepare for the New Year.

On this day, as soon as Zhao Junsheng finished reviewing the recital on the imperial case and handed it over to the eunuchs to send back to the General Administration, the eunuch Yuan Jian walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu asks to see you!" ”

"Let him in!" Zhao Junsheng got up and stretched out his arm.

Zhao Ping walked in and saluted: "Erchen see Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked, "What's the matter with you coming here so late?" ”

Zhao Ping said: "The son estimated that his father should be about to finish dealing with state affairs, so he came over at the right time!" Regarding the trial of the case of Wang Chengming's killing of Yin Yu by the Three Law Divisions, the minister wants to report it to his father! ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded, walked out, and beckoned to Zhao Ping: "Go outside for a walk, talk as you go!" ”

"No!"

Out of the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Junsheng walked down the steps and asked, "What is the result of the joint trial of this case by the three legal divisions?" ”

Zhao Ping replied: "After the trial of the three divisions, Erchen consulted the opinions of other officials of the Criminal Department, Dali Siqing and the imperial envoy, and believed that this case could not be judged in a rigid manner according to the law, but it could not be ignored by ignoring the law to blindly meet public opinion and ethics, so Erchen thought that Wang Chengming could be sentenced to life imprisonment!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said as he walked: "What is the basis! ”

Zhao Ping pondered the language for a moment and said: "Back then, the Wang family and the Yin family had a dispute because they were neighbors, whether Yin Yu killed by mistake or deliberately killed Wang Chengming's father, according to the laws of the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time, Yin Yu should be sentenced to beheading, but Yin Yu used despicable means to bribe the Northern Wei officials who handled the case at that time so that he avoided the death penalty, and only sentenced one to three thousand li, which was unfair to Wang Chengming, and he was only thirteen years old at the time, and his father's tragic death hurt him a lot, and also affected his life, Erchen thinks we should take this into account when sentencing!

In the turbulent and chaotic era of the times, legal justice could not be served, and it was the norm for public power to not be able to claim justice for the victims, in that case, people would support Wang Chengming's revenge, but now it is different, I am a stable and good public order in the world, and anyone who violates the law must be punished by law, and cannot let outside public opinion manipulate the judgment of the trial officer!

Even if Yin Yu had been sentenced to death at that time, he could not be killed by himself, but should be punished by the law of Daqian, so Wang Chengming's killing of Yin Yu was still murder and should be sentenced to death!

However, based on the unfair treatment he received in the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, coupled with the fact that he did not flee after killing Yin Yu, but chose to surrender himself, a certain reduction in sentence should be considered as appropriate in sentencing, so Erchen thinks that he can be sentenced to life imprisonment! ”

Zhao Junsheng paused and thought about it for a while, and said, "Yes, it's just sentenced!" ”

Zhao Ping immediately took out the verdict and handed it to Zhao Junsheng for approval, and Zhao Junsheng took the pen and the verdict and agreed to it.
