Time flies, and it's the day of the auction.

As the commercial hub of southwest Kyushu and a place where all kinds of treasures gather, Wanji Auction House in Yanzhou City will be a grand ceremony every time it opens an auction.

This time was no exception.

After lunch, Tong Sanye and I came to the auction house early, and Steward Hao, who met last time, led us directly to the VIP box No. 79.

It is said to be a VIP box, but it is only ten feet in circumference, and it looks a little crowded when a few chairs are placed.

"Why is it so narrow?" Wan Wusheng frowned and said, "Isn't there a better room?" ”

"Young Master, this is also something that can't be helped." Steward Hao explained, "The auction house has a total of one hundred and eight boxes, one thousand and eighty scattered seats, and there are many monks and few porridges, so the place is inevitably cramped. ”

"Hey, I heard that there are a few large boxes over 100 feet, can't we be arranged in?" Wan Wusheng asked again.

"There are ten luxury boxes for big businessmen." Steward Hao said, "A few masters also know that there are more than ten big businessmen, and the big box is not enough at all, so you can only wronged a few masters." ”

"Okay, okay, still not satisfied with the box? When the temper comes up, Lao Tzu kicks you to the scattered seat downstairs. Wan Liang Tong scolded Wan Wusheng, and said to Hao Guanshi: "Old Hao, I'll trouble you this time, don't forget to inform me if there is any news later." ”

"It's nature." After instructing the little servant to serve tea and fruits, Steward Hao promised to leave.

As soon as Steward Hao left, Wan Wusheng lay on the windowsill of the box and looked around.

The venue of this Wanji auction is shaped like a cauldron, with the auction table in the center of the bottom of the pot, the dense scattered seats on the slope in three directions, and the one hundred and eight large and small boxes are located on the edge of the pot - that is, the top floor.

Due to the clever calculation of this location, people sit in the box and have a panoramic view of the scene in the venue, and no one can escape the eyes of those who are interested in entering and leaving the venue.

"We're too early." Wan Wusheng said boredly, "There are not many people down there." ”

"You know, I came here so early." Wan Liang Tong said, "After a while, the nobles of all sizes in Yanzhou City will enter the venue from the entrance below, isn't our president unfamiliar with the face of the Chamber of Commerce, just take this opportunity to get to know ......"

The so-called president refers to me.

"Tsai, someone's coming." Ten thousand enlightenment is born.

I leaned on the windowsill and looked sideways: sure enough, a few people, led by the auction steward, slowly walked into the venue, and then passed the stairs on the side and went straight to the box on the other side.

"Someone to get to know indeed." Wan Liangtong said, "You see that the one who walks in front with three bristles on his head is the big shopkeeper of Yanzhou Jinyutang - Huyan Mix." ”

"Jin Yutang? This name sounds familiar. I said.

Of course I remember Jin Yutang, Li Wanshan, one of the four big bosses in Yuanzhou, isn't he the big shopkeeper of Yuanzhou Jinyutang.

"Does it sound familiar?" Wan Wusheng said, "Jinyutang has branches in almost all major state capitals, and they are ostensibly engaged in gold, silver and jewelry trading, but in fact they are the largest stolen goods in the underworld. ”

"How dare you be so blatant?" I wondered.

Of the stolen goods caves I know, which one is not hiding in a dark corner?

"Because people have backgrounds." Wan Liang Tong said, "The proprietors behind the scenes of Jin Yutang have a lot to do with the imperial court, and they not only sell stolen goods to the underworld and bandits, but their biggest customers are actually those corrupt officials - but these words, let's say it in private, it's okay, it's not good to spread it around." ”

"Yes." I nodded, and asked again: "Third Master, is there any business that can be done between Jin Yutang and our firm?" ”

"Yes, there is, there is." Wan Liang Tong said, "Jin Yutang conducts a large number of jewelry transactions every year - these transactions themselves are clean - and the stolen goods are reduced to pieces in the process of trading, and finally become innocent silver taels, even the most powerful catchers cannot trace the source. ”

People may have black and white, but silver and silver do not distinguish between good and evil, and in the big dye vat of rivers and lakes, many things will eventually turn into one color: gray.

"According to what you say, if you can get on the line with Jin Yutang, wouldn't it be a long-term way to make money?" I thought.

"It's not just a road of wealth, it's a sea of gold and silver!" Wan Liang Tong said, "But don't think about it, we can't fight the people who cooperate with Yanzhou Jinyutang." ”

"Who?" I asked.

"Invincible!" Wan Liang Tong said, "Actually, ten years ago, Jin Yutang's transactions were scattered to a number of trading houses--this is the only way to be safe-I don't know what means Wan Wushu used, and one person swallowed all the shares." ”

"Then leave him alone...... Oh, who's here now? I squinted.

While talking, many people entered the venue one after another, but most of them walked to the scattered seats, only the two of them were walking towards the box.

Walking in front, tall and mighty, with a majestic instrument; The one who walked behind was thin and obscene, and accidentally thought that there was a monkey behind him.

"Them?" Wan Wusheng smiled strangely.

"That's it." Wan Liang Tong said, "They are Wan Da, Wan Er." ”

My eyebrows jumped.

Ten thousand is invincible.

In case of two, it is all disease-free.

This is the pronoun of the two brothers of the Wan family when it is inconvenient to call them by name.

"This one who won't lose weight is invincible, right?" I said.

"How is that possible?" Wan Wusheng said, "Wan Invincible is not only invincible in name, invincible in business, invincible in martial arts, and invincible in people." ”

"Even martial arts are invincible?" I was surprised.

"Wan Wushu is recognized as the best player in Yanzhou, as early as twenty years ago, even his father Wan Yushen was not his opponent." 10,000 taels of copper road.

"Since Wan Wushu is so powerful, how can there be more people who support him than Wan Wuhua?" I question.

"It's because he's so invincible that no one dares to support him." Wan Liang Tong said, "Think about it, the consistent practice of the Wanzihao Chamber of Commerce is that the president takes the lead, but the silver is scattered in the hands of all the merchants, and everyone has the right to speak—but everyone is worried that if Wan Wushu is in power, the Wanjia family will become like the Shen family and the Huo family, with one or several people monopolizing power." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about invincible." I said, "What about this monkey...... What about foolproof? ”

"About Waner, isn't there a saying outside, that says, 'No illness every day'." 10,000 taels of copper road.

I nodded.

"Actually, there is a full version of this sentence." 10,000 taels of copper road.

The full version is:

No disease every day, every day of illness, every day of illness does not die, there is a blessing after not dying, and the blessing is unparalleled in the world.
