[Qian Lao: I also don't want to help the abuse, but my family is innocent, and they still have to live, so I can't help it. 】

"It's just the name of Prince Snow, and this magic weapon should be from the best craftsman in Fran Town, Qian Lao." Xue Liyue thought about it, it seemed that he could find some tricks for Xue Rongqing when he came to the auction this time.

The town of Fran used to be very wealthy, because it was rich in mineral resources, and the magic weapons produced were very practical, and the price was not too expensive. However, in recent years, it has been declining, and the quality of the ritual instruments produced has also begun to decline.

One of the reasons is that most of the craftsmen were recruited by the Snow Prince to forge magic weapons for the Snow Prince, so that the magic weapons flowing into the masses became less and less, and they were all products that cut corners, but the price increased several times. Most people have no choice but to come to the auction hall to auction the magic weapons in the name of Prince Snow.

"Mo Hexin, take a picture of this." Xue Liyue thought for a while and said.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Senior VIP No. 166, four million once!"

"Hey, you're not stupid, are you, why are you filming it?" Xiran was a little puzzled, it was useless to ask for this helmet, she didn't believe that Xue Liyue bought it for her own use.

"You'll know when the time comes."

"Five million!" There is also a mouth open in the audience who does not know whether to live or die to rob, and in general, senior VIPs are not easy to mess with, so there are few people who grab things with senior VIPs, but today there are really people to rob.

Xue Liyue motioned to Mo Hexin to continue to increase the price, "Senior VIP No. 166, five and a half million!" ”

The person who had just come to rob him gritted his teeth and shouted again: "Six million! ”

"Okay, No. 364 here, six million at a time!"

Xue Liyue found the person who continued to increase the price with himself in the crowd, he thought about it for a while, and then signaled Mo Hexin not to increase the price again, the price of six million for such a helmet was already a bit uneconomical.

"Six million twice! Six million three times! Deal! ”

"Alright, let's get down to business." Xue Liyue got up and stopped looking, he already had a clue, "Hey, don't look at it?" There are four more in the back, doesn't it say that the further back you go, the rarer they become? Xiran couldn't figure out what Xue Liyue wanted to do.

"Then you can stay here, I'm leaving." Xue Liyue walked out as she spoke, signaling Mo Hexin to find the person who had just raised the price with her.

"Hey, wait, wait for us." Xiran had no choice, so she immediately pulled up Emperor Xuanlie to keep up with Xue Liyue's pace, Xue Liyue, the big financier, was gone, and she had no money herself, so it was not interesting to look at these auction items.

Trading office on the second floor

"Pay with this card." Mo Hexin walked to the man who had just auctioned off the helmet, handed over a gold card to the service staff, and said to the man with a surprised face: "Hello, I am the senior VIP just now, but don't worry, I just help you pay, and the things are still yours." ”

The man was a little flattered, and suddenly gave him a helmet for nothing, there must be some problem, he was hesitant for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

"I just saw that you kept raising the price and wanted this item very much, but I guess you don't have that much money to pay for it, right?" Mo Hexin helped pay the money and took the helmet that was stored in a delicate box, handed it to the man and continued.

"Who are you?" The man took the box and looked at him with some vigilance, he was so kind to help him pay, there must be something looking for him.

"Our Highness wants to see you, come with me." Mo Hexin smiled politely, and led the way to the lounge on the second floor, pushed the door in, and saw that there was a man wearing a mask with an extraordinary temperament, and there was a man and a woman next to him. The atmosphere was a little oppressive, which made him a little nervous, and the palms of his hands holding the box were a little wet.

"Don't be nervous, let me introduce myself first, I'm Xue Liyue, the fifth prince." Seeing that someone was coming so soon, Xue Liyue got up and walked over to introduce herself in a friendly manner.

"Ah, my name is Xu Ertian, Your Highness is looking for me. Can I help you? The man's eyes lit up for a moment, but then they dimmed, and his eyes began to evade.

"Sit, it's not a big deal, it's just that you just had to take a picture of this helmet, I'm a little curious." Xue Liyue leaned sideways and motioned for Xu Ertian to sit on the sofa and said slowly.

"Do you know the craftsman Qian Lao?" Shizoan had just learned from Xue Liyue what he was going to investigate. Now she doesn't plan to sell Guanzi, seeing that Xue Liyue still doesn't get to the point, she asks directly.

When Xu Ertian heard this name, his expression tightened, and his hand holding the box hugged it tighter, his eyes were a little indignant, but he said: "Of course, who doesn't know the reputation of the craftsman Qian Lao in the whole of Flan Town?" ”

"Then why don't you buy the old man's magic weapon, but instead you have to use such a large price to buy the prince's magic weapon?" Xi Ran was about to start talking, she found out that Xu Ertian was acting abnormally everywhere, there must be something to hide.

"It's not the Prince's at all! This is what Qian Lao did! Xu Ertian shouted a little excitedly, and after he said it, he regretted it a little, and his expression was very tangled.

"Oh? How do you know? Xue Liyue took in all of Xu Ertian's small movements, and he was a little clearer in his heart, as long as Xu Ertian said what he knew, it would be much easier.

That prince is deeply rooted here, Xue Liyue has been investigating for a long time, and has not been able to catch any substantive evidence from other aspects, and has not been able to make Xue Rongqing's various evil deeds public, maybe from this magic weapon, there can be a breakthrough.

"I, I..." Xu Ertian was still a little entangled, he didn't know if the people in front of him were from the prince's side, he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Don't be afraid, we are not from the prince's side, we won't harm you, we will help you." Shizome said comfortingly.

"Yes, yes, just say anything, this is the fifth prince in front of you, and he will soon become your new Snow Prince in the future, if you have anything, just say it, he can solve it." Emperor Xuan Lie also got up and walked over, putting his arm on Xue Liyue's shoulder, with a serious expression.

Xue Liyue dodged Emperor Xuanlie's arm with some disgust, but still nodded, thinking that this guy had finally said the right thing.

Xu Ertian looked at everyone, sighed, gambled, and finally decided: "Okay, I am actually Qian Lao's apprentice, and I have been learning magic tools with Qian Lao for decades, but that Snow Prince took Qian Lao away and arrested all the better craftsmen in the town." ”

"Taken?"

"Yes, overnight, almost all the craftsmen in the town disappeared, and then he Prince Xue began to make utensils, which sold for very high prices, were of poor quality, and bought defective products, as well as counterfeit goods. I know Master making Dharma instruments, and he has such a little habit every time he finishes it. ”

Xu Ertian opened the box in his arms as he spoke, took out the helmet magic weapon, and pointed to a pattern on the outside that was not easy to be noticed, and a small pen was missing, and he really couldn't see it if he wasn't careful.

"Here... Missing a small pen? Shizome looked at it for a long time before he noticed it, and he was a little surprised.

"Yes, my master said that the practice is the same as living a life, leaving a gap for yourself, and you will live more clearly. Therefore, every time the Master completes a ritual instrument, he will stop at the end of the pen, deliberately leaving a small gap. After all, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people are not perfect, and the same is true for magic weapons. ”

Xu Ertian recalled the scene when he used to study art with his master, and remembered that when he found out that all of his master's magic weapons had this question and asked his master, what the master said was very meaningful, word by word.

At that time, he didn't seem to understand, but after many years, he seemed to understand the meaning of Master's words. The corners of his eyes moistened a little when he thought about it, and the words they spoke to him gradually began to choke.

"This prince is too annoying! How can such a thing be done. Emperor Xuanlie shook his head, very indignant, and did not have the slightest good impression of that prince.

Shizome was also a little stunned, thinking of the peaceful-looking Prince Snow, she really couldn't imagine that he would do such a thing, stealing the fruits of others, and kidnapping these innocent people.

"Then do you know where your master is now?" Xue Liyue thought about it and asked, if you want to find evidence, you still have to find the craftsman Qian Lao.

"I can't tell the location of Qian Lao, and Master hasn't told me the specifics, probably it should be on Lanhua Street. However, Master and I have a way to communicate and exchange information in secret. Xu Ertian thought for a long time and shook his head.

"Hey, is this a safe route? It's best to be able to contact Qian Lao. As soon as Shizome heard this, he was in the spirit, if they could rescue these craftsmen, even if the human evidence and the physical evidence of this helmet were there, this incident alone would be enough to make Prince Snow step down.

"Safety, the way we use it is also through materials to convey information. Master comes to the material market on Lanhua Street on the 10th of every month to buy materials for the recipe, and I have a shop there where I meet and communicate every time. However, in recent months, Master has come with a large number of elite guards, and I can't be alone with Master, so I just communicate through the use of knife and pen patterns on the materials.

Every time the news of the auction or sale of these magic artifacts is provided by Master, he also entrusts me to buy each one back, renovate and repair it, and then sell it. After all, Master, the old man didn't want his inferior magic weapon to cause harm to the user.

Because before I found Master, there had been many casualties, but they were secretly dealt with by Prince Xue, and there was no leakage of the news, but there was also news that his magic weapon was very useful. ”

Xu Ertian was full of hope, and told Xiran them in detail, and in the end, he was still a little indignant, clenching his fists. It's not that he didn't want to rescue those persecuted craftsmen, but how could he, a commoner, shake a prince. He looked at Xue Liyue and felt that this was an opportunity, maybe this fifth prince could do it.
