On July 22, on the side of Goryeo, Nie Shicheng and Ye Zhichao's troops had just started fighting with the Japanese army. On the side of the Great Qing Kingdom, it is still a peaceful and stable scene.

Outside the American Concession in Tianjin, along the avenue of the British Concession, more and more carriages and sedan chairs kept coming. A concrete-bottomed parking lot is crowded with people like a big gathering. It was bustling and crowded.

Tianjin Wei idlers who have nothing to do have to intervene soon gathered a lot, and hid in the side to watch the excitement.

Today is the first time that the US concession has been opened to the outside world since it was contracted by Yang Hao.

The auction is the highlight of the open day. All over Beijing and Tianjin, and even in the major cities of the country, all the distinguished people on the top have received invitations of different ranks.

As for whether they will come or not, then it is up to them.

These people have different identities, and the clothes and carriages and horses and honor guards naturally show differences.

Dressed magnificently, with a shy belly, sitting in a rubber-wheeled carriage, and waiting with an umbrella on the side, but habitually smiling on his face, these are all businessmen. Those with sharp eyes immediately recognized that there were many famous big names in the Beijing and Tianjin areas. For example, the shopkeeper of the four Hengs, the manager of Rishengchang, the head of the major ticket numbers, and the heads of the major foreign chambers of commerce.

Just their group, add up the money in their hands, which is calculated in "100 million taels of silver". At least one-third of the wealth of the Great Qing Kingdom is piled up here.

It can be seen from here that the movement made by the US concession this time is absolutely insignificant.

But they're not the best. In the middle of the parking lot, a group of yellow and red bands are headed, shaking folding fans in their hands. There is a beautiful jade hanging from his waist. There is no one in the eyes of the swagger. Talking and shouting. These are all royal relatives in the capital who walk sideways and kill people but can't pay for their lives!

Good guys, even these people dare to provoke Tai Sui, the big boss of the American Concession, probably Qi feels that he is too happy to live, and he is uncomfortable on the pole, isn't it?

People on the periphery know that there must be a lively scene today. But unfortunately, it is not so easy for them to go in and see the scene.

There are no invitations. No one can get past the gate. Planning to gather a crowd to make a fuss? Look at the fast guns in people's hands, and then look at Huo Yuanjia, who has won several consecutive competitions, is there to maintain order. Those who lost the battle also stayed to help according to the agreement. If you go up and make a fuss, you won't punch and vomit blood!

It is clearly a group of people from big families in the capital, piled up together and talking.

"Hehe, the third child is here too, huh? You're not at home playing with your father's Xinna's concubine, what kind of excitement is running Tianjin Wei! It can't be the East Window incident and come to avoid trouble, right? ”

"Fuck off! The third master is here to do business today. Ning Laoba, C is not happy to find the master. If you are not convinced, let's practice alone? ”

"Practice is practice! Who screamed in pain? Who's the bastard! ”

"Wow, wow, wow! The brothers are all witnesses. The third and the eighth, go back and make a stage for you. Play a good martial arts. Aren't there still a few masters in the prince's mansion? Pull it out and give it to you as a sparring partner, and the big guy is happy ....... ”

A group of noble sons who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic shouted at the time, and the people around them looked sideways.

But no matter how much they coaxed, the two who shouted loudly never stretched out a finger. Just kidding, what is the identity of our masters, how can we stage a full martial arts show to your grandchildren in broad daylight? It's important to get down to business!

While there was a commotion, a big car came to a stop. The curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man in his forties was helped down. With a sharp glance, he exclaimed: "Yo! Isn't this the Liang Ye of Sun Shaobao's family? Why is he here too?! ”

Seven dissatisfied, eight dissatisfied, and eight disgruntled, and the nobles immediately glared.

Sun Shaobao is the most trusted prince Shaobao and Sun Yuwen, the secretary of the military department. This important minister of the court, who secretly became a righteous brother with the great eunuch Li Lianying, has a profound background and a high position. launched a ruthless attack, and Emperor Guangxu didn't have a problem with him.

Don't look at this group of yellow and red belts, which look like 2580,000. Compared with Sun Yuwen, it's not bullshit. Even for the Liang Supervisor sent by the Sun family, they all have to behave, and they don't dare to take a breath.

A few people who were consciously familiar hurriedly stepped forward and greeted with a smile on their faces: "Hey! I said Master Liang, a person of your big status also came to cheer. The ancestral grave of the family surnamed Yang must be smoking, right? Tate gave him a long face! ”

Liang Ye's face was slightly dark, with the old-fashioned style of Mr. Taoism, and he returned the salute with soothing movements, and said indifferently: "Our master ordered it, and of course Liang must handle it wholeheartedly." It's not just me, look back, whose car is that? ”

He didn't want to let everyone's attention focus on him, so he simply moved the tide eastward.

A group of people looked behind them, and suddenly there was another burst of exclamations: "Drink!" The sun is coming out in the west today! I'm not mistaken, the sixth master's family is also here! ”

The sixth master, nicknamed "Devil Six", the sixth son of Emperor Daoguang, Prince Yi 60 of Heshuo Gong.

This can be said to be the third generation of important ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and one of the most influential figures today. suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, engaged in the Westernization Movement, ran the Prime Minister's Affairs Yamen, opened up the diplomacy of other countries, and created the prosperity of Tongzhi, which made great achievements. It can be said to be the backbone of the successful continuation of Manchu rule.

Of course, now, he is also the most vigilant for the Empress Dowager Cixi and is the one who is trying to suppress it.

Over the years, Prince Gong has been in Taoguang to keep his eyes on it, let alone show up, and he doesn't dare to make a little out-of-the-ordinary movement. What's the matter today, you actually sent someone here? Could it be that the sky of the Qing Dynasty is going to change?

Dozens of glances, brushing and staring at the simple and old carriage, saw a teenager coming down from it, and couldn't help but gasp: "Good guy!" It turned out to be Pu Wei Baylor! The sixth master's own grandson...... Something is wrong with him! ”

Prince Gong's eldest grandson, a noble person who is sure to inherit the prince's title, Pu Wei, who is fifteen years old this year!

Now, don't talk about the noisy talking, the loud talking has stopped! At the same time, they finally understood why a large number of distinguished people arrived, and the door of the concession was not open. Co-authors know that someone with a bigger identity is coming!

Sure enough, Pu Wei, who looked like an adult, got out of the car. The front and rear railings of the concession, which have been tightly closed, are raised by brushing. Across a ten-meter-long bridge. The towering gate slid inward. Reveal the true face of Lushan that countless people have speculated about for two or three months!

In the past few months, the topic of speculating about what the US concession looks like has become the hottest one in the streets and alleys of Tianjinwei and even Beijing. Nothing else, the secrecy is too good.

Since the start of construction, Yang Hao has made thousands of liba and dug out a boundary river with a width of five meters along the boundary line. The excavated soil rammed a steep earth wall three meters high in the inner layer. The ditch was filled with living water. This becomes a moat.

On the earthen wall, a circle of steel wire mesh more than two meters high was pulled, and a power grid covered in thorns was added to it, and then a layer of plastic sheet that no one knew was pasted, completely obscuring the view.

Do you want to peek inside? Or set up a ladder of more than seven meters, martial arts master? Light work? That's really no!

Even if there is a ladder, there are watchtowers in the four corners of people's homes, and they are not afraid to shoot people down, although they are looking for excitement.

For a long time after that, a large number of workers came and went. Later, there was a generator, and the lights were bright. But the only one who can listen to it. It's just how wide the foundation is, how long the pipes are, and how flat the roads are. The most critical building building? It's all fenced off, and they don't know it.

The more secret things are, the more itchy they are. Speculation of all kinds has become more and more frequent, and it has become a kind of delight to make up nonsense based on the fragmentary information revealed by the workers.

Today, the mystery is officially revealed, and even if these people who can enter are well-informed, they still can't help but stare at each other carefully.

Pu Wei has the most noble status, but he knows how to be humble, and he just relied on his young age to arch the people sent by Sun Yuwen, Weng Tongyi, Zeng Guofan, and Li Hongzao to the front. The rest of the people who had dealings with Prince Gong in the past also took pity on the family who dared to make mistakes for a day, so they quietly helped the handle and rounded the scene.

The person in charge of collecting the invitation at the door sang loudly, lively and lively, and clusters of people began to go inside.

Those outside who were not qualified to go in couldn't help but sigh when they heard a big person. There is a shrewd finger counting the head, and while calculating, he bared his teeth: "I have to be a mother!" This big boss Yang is big! If he doesn't do anything else today, he will have to pay millions of taels for the door fee alone! ”

"What million taels?! Tell me about it, big guys! ”

The tip of the ear rushed up and put on a good cigarette. At first glance, it turned out to be a big front door, a little disgusted, and a little reluctant to take it, and clamped it behind his ear.

This is accepted. The rest of the dry ones also pricked their ears, and they heard the cough and said slowly, "Do you know what you are going to do in there today?" ”

"Yes, wow! Auction! ”

"Do you know what kind of treasure is being auctioned?"

"That's really not clear. But it seems that even Prince Baylor is here, so a bunch of imperial relatives, the manager of the money village, I estimate, how can it be the emperor's dragon robe? A jade seal dug up in the ground? ”

"Phew! You're stunned, aren't you? That's worth a few bucks! Even if there is, who businessmen dare to go up, why is it so slow? ”

"Yes, yes! You are an understanding person, hurry up and tell me what is going on for a while! ”

The one kept his mouth shut. The person next to him was helpless, someone handed over a piece of watermelon, and he grinned and "boasted" half of it. I chewed a few bites and swallowed it, and said with a stalk around my neck: "I heard that the thing to be sold today is books!" ”

"Books? That's worth a few bucks! ”

A bunch of people were stunned, and those who gave cigarettes and watermelons felt cheated.

The man who understood looked at them with disdain: "Don't you see?" Some books, the value is simply immeasurable. That's what I'll tell you. In this auction today, all those who are qualified to enter have received invitations. But it's not enough for you to just bring an invitation card in, you have to have a security deposit to enter the door. Do you know how much a family wants? ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Understand that the man holds up a finger.

"One hundred taels?" When he said this number, he himself was weak-hearted. One hundred taels he has to earn for several years, but these people who come today are not enough to eat a meal. "That's a thousand taels?"

"Ten thousand! It's just the price code to look at from the sidelines! If you want to have a seat, 50,000 taels, no two prices! ”

The crowd buzzed, as if a hornet's nest had been blown up. Thousands of eyes involuntarily focused towards the gate of the concession. Just seeing these people, they have to pay at least a million taels of qualification fees. What's in there, how much is it worth! (To be continued......)
