In the north of the town, there are not many pedestrians on the streets, and there are busy coolies and patrolling soldiers everywhere.

The cold weather also prevented merchants from the south and north.

At the Zhenbei Hotel, a middle-aged man dressed in an extremely ordinary dress walked into the inn with this strange word.

The price of staying here is very expensive, 10 yuan a day for an ordinary room, 20 yuan a day for a medium room, and 50 yuan a day for the upper room with heating.

On the first day, the middle-aged man lived in a regular room, on the second day he changed to a medium room, and on the third day, he moved into an upper room.

On the fourth day, we ushered in the bidding conference that had been prepared for more than a month.

Unrelated people were allowed to sit and watch, but they were not allowed to approach or speak out, and those who violated the order were severely punished.

The middle-aged man asked for a pot of tea and some snacks, and sat alone at the table in the corner and watched quietly, there were not many people watching the excitement, after all, everyone was very busy and had no time to join in this kind of excitement that had nothing to do with him.

"It's exactly the same as the method of Taipingfang, but it's more exquisite, it's really the handiwork of King Qi!" Looking at the bland bidding conference, the middle-aged man nodded secretly and praised.

"This is the country of Qi, naturally only the king of Qi has this qualification." Ma Zhou sat down calmly and probed the middle-aged man slightly.

As early as yesterday, I received a report that a guest with a strange personality came to the Zhenbei Hotel, changing a room a day, dressed very ordinarily, but he was very 'generous', and he didn't throw money out of his hands, but he was also very willing to himself.

Such a person will naturally attract the attention of the hotel, and then report it to the yamen, and it happened that Ma Zhou was also there, so he decided to come and investigate in person.

Although the two didn't communicate more, they just listened to each other's words, which made Ma Zhou realize that this person was extraordinary.

"Sir, can you still pay back the habits in the north of the town these days?" Ma Zhou continued to understate.

"It's just a lot of fun!" The middle-aged man smiled slightly, and he did not shy away from it.

"What does that gentleman think of Qi Guo?" Ma Zhou continued to probe, this person made himself unable to see the way he came from, let alone the direction, but he was always suspicious.

"The king is angry!" The middle-aged man's face gradually became solemn.

Ma Zhou's heart sank, Wang Qi Zhizhi, these three words contain a lot of meaning, one is to point out the identity of the other party is a Taoist priest, and the other is to point out the future of Qi State, but I don't know if the other party deliberately said so.

But no matter what, these three words must not be leaked out, otherwise it will bring catastrophe to the Qi country.

"Sir, do you know the meaning of these three words?" Ma Zhou's face sank, and he asked as if he didn't know.

"You and Lao Dao both know it in their hearts, so why do you need to hide it so much?" The middle-aged Taoist priest stared at Ma Zhou with a smile, as if he had already seen through everything.

"It's not a matter of cover-up!"

"Qi Guo has won this game, and there is almost no chance for the other side to turn the tables, and now it is up to the king of Qi to give the other side this opportunity." The middle-aged Taoist priest said calmly, as if he knew the current situation of the Qi Kingdom better than Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou was shocked again, the words of the middle-aged Taoist priest seemed to be almost the same as what the King of Qi told him, but the words of this Taoist priest were more understandable.

Could it be that King Qi deliberately arranged it? Ma Zhou was slightly skeptical.

"There are two choices that need to be made in your life, and you have already made these two choices, and you have chosen them right, so you will definitely be rich and rich in this life......" Halfway through the words, the middle-aged Taoist priest stopped talking, but finally shook his head and did not continue.

Two options? Did you choose them all?

Ma Zhou couldn't help but sneer, it seems that it must have been arranged by King Qi, but does he really look so fragile?

……

Ma Zhou and the middle-aged Taoist priest were not chatting on the same channel at all, and on the other side, at the bidding conference where the mystery had been revealed, there was already a quarrel.

It was originally a harmonious scene, but after the answer was announced, the scene instantly lost control.

"Wang Tuo, you shameless child......" Cui Shi pointed at Wang Tuo and scolded, and the two rows of big teeth trembled.

Wang Tuo was extremely calm, drinking the first-class red robe, crossing Erlang's legs, swaying up and down: "What is a shameless child? If you can't afford it, don't pretend to be an uncle here, since it's a bidding conference, the price of this son is higher than yours, is there any problem? ”

"No hurry, there's a second one!" Zheng Shanqi glanced at everyone slightly, this result was expected, and it was also unexpected, and it was not the worst result if he didn't get the agency.

After a short time, the shopkeeper of the hotel held a piece of paper with the results of the second bidding in his hand.

As soon as the shopkeeper appeared, the scene of constant quarrels fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were deeply attracted.

"The winner of the second pot bid is...... Taiyuan Wangjia! ”

"What?" The shopkeeper said the results of the second bidding, Zheng Shanqi was stunned suddenly, and then looked at Wang Tuo in surprise.

The Wang family has already taken the best rice flower fragrance, why do they even want to grab the second pot head?

It doesn't matter if the Wang family robs it, but where will they put their face? Coming here for nothing? Not to mention the long distance, and so much funding for the Zhenbei Hotel, is it just a trip to the far north?

"This is impossible, the old man of the second pot is quoted as fifty yuan and one altar, and the price of the Wang family cannot be higher than this." Lu Yang was furious, pointing at the shopkeeper and roaring.

Now the most expensive wine on the market is only ten thousand bucket wine, and a jar of wine is ten catties, that is, two and a half buckets, and the price has soared to twenty thousand bucket wine, which has doubled.

"The price of the Wang family is sixty guan and one altar!" The shopkeeper swept his eyes and replied calmly, it seems that he is despising Lu Yang, is fifty guan an altar very high? Naive!

"This ......" Lu Yang was speechless, this Wang Tuo was simply here to smash the field.

……

It's noisy and lively over there, and it's also a pleasure to listen to here.

Erguotou sold a jar of 60 yuan, although the yield of rice flowers is low, but the price must be more than 60 yuan, casually, it is a windfall.

This is simply cool for Ma Zhou, who holds the 'financial power'.

Li Yuanji's trust in himself has reached the extreme, although he did not really hand over the financial power to himself, but in fact, it is not too much, how much money he needs to use, just write down the amount and purpose, and send it to Li Yuanji It will be signed and approved in less than half a day, and Li Yuanji never asks how much money is still in the library, and he also makes it public to Ma Zhou, without the slightest concealment.

With money, you can do more things.

Glancing slightly at the middle-aged Taoist priest beside him, Ma Zhou couldn't help but say a little proudly: "I don't know what the chief thinks about this matter?" ”

"Fisherman's Pleasure!" The middle-aged Taoist priest lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said complacently.

The corners of Ma Zhou's mouth twitched violently, and he couldn't help but glance at this old way, the fisherman was happy, what he said was really accurate.

However, he was sent by Li Yuanji, and it is normal to know more about the inside story of this matter, but there are some things that he absolutely does not know, and he has just had some speculations about this matter, but he has no way to argue, and continues to ask: "Then according to what the Taoist chief said, what does his move mean?" ”

"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink! Ma Xiangguo still doesn't want to test the old way......"

Ma Zhou's face was a little embarrassed, he was seen by someone, and he was told by someone, wasn't he sent by Li Yuanji?

"A few days ago, Lao Dao had been divined in Chang'an, and he was lucky to get a glimpse of a heavenly opportunity, and then he came here, Ma Xiangguo can transfer this thing to the King of Qi, and Lao Dao will wait for him here for three days, three days later, if the King of Qi does not come, Lao Dao will leave by himself, and he will only be a Taoist monk in this life." The middle-aged Taoist priest took out an envelope wrapped in oiled paper from his arms.

The envelope was not sealed, but simply folded, with a hint of residual warmth on it, as if he was not afraid of seeing the contents at all.

Through the gap, Ma Zhou quietly probed the contents and found that it was just a folded piece of paper, so he accepted it with confidence.

"I'll hand it over to King Qi!" Ma Zhou nodded, and secretly said that it didn't seem to be sent by Li Yuanji, "I don't know what the long name is?" ”

"No name!" The middle-aged Daoist shook his head with a smile, not intending to reveal his name.

Ma Zhou suspiciously took the letter and left the Zhenbei Hotel, and the gloomy mood was soon replaced by the excitement of making a fortune.

The hotel staff was already waiting outside the store, and as soon as Ma Zhou's front foot left, he got the accurate figure, Daohuaxiang was sold at the sky-high price of 80 per altar, and Erguotou was also sold at the price of 60 per jar.

Now the goods stored in the warehouse alone are worth millions of dollars.

It was the first time for Ma Zhou to see so much money, and he couldn't help but admire Li Yuanji's methods, the Wang family, which had been completely blacklisted, was now able to send such a large fortune to the Qi State, anyway, if he were himself, it would definitely not be so easy.

Daohuaxiang and Erguotou are ten times more than the highest price, and the price column of the bidding book sent by the Wang family is blank, and it is all filled in according to the facts after being disassembled by the background.

"Tsk! I don't know if the people of the Wang family will regret it after seeing this price? Ma Zhou smiled excitedly, and walked briskly towards the camp on the south bank of the Yellow River.

I have to say that this person is in a good mood, and everything is good, even if it is some bad things, it is nothing in his own opinion.

When he came to the camp, he first told Li Yuanji the good news, and then handed the envelope of the middle-aged Taoist priest to Li Yuanji, and explained that it was handed over by a Taoist priest himself.

With doubts, Li Yuanji opened the envelope, opened the letter that had been folded several times, and glanced at the contents on it, Li Yuanji's face changed dramatically in an instant.

"Where's the Taoist priest?"
