Chapter 16: Yonghe Auction (I)
In a secluded wood, a man in black, with a terrifying mask on his face, left only a pair of eyes outside, only to see that the eyes were dark water lines, look closely, you will find that one eye is black, the other is red, heterochromatic pupils. It's a pity that his body exudes a deadly aura, and it is deep and terrifying. He stood there quietly, motionless, slowly blending into the night, and if he didn't pay attention, he wouldn't be able to see that there was anyone standing there.
After a while, the crows in the forest fluttered and made a terrible sound. I only listened to the leaves in the woods fluttering with the crows, shaking a trace of human breath. "Lord, the subordinates are late, and I hope the Lord will punish you."
A foot away from the masked man in black knelt another man in black, his hands merged to form a fist, and the standing man in black neatly raised his right hand neatly, signaling the kneeling man in black to shut up. "Where's the stuff?" Listening to the voice, I felt a vicissitudes of life rushing to my face, as if I was suddenly grabbed by the neck and couldn't breathe, and I was on the verge of death.
"I didn't get it, but my subordinates learned about other news." The kneeling man trembled, for fear that the man in black in front of him would solve him.
"Damn it!" As soon as the words fell, the masked man turned around and grabbed the neck of the kneeling man, gritting his teeth, "How can you guarantee that everything is foolproof?" ”
I saw that the man increased the strength of the man in black with the mask, his legs were suspended in the air and kicked randomly, and his hands tightly grasped the hand of the man in black holding his neck, trying to get his neck out, but the man in black was strong in skill.
The man in black saw that the face of the man in his hand began to turn purple, and his hand flicked towards the tree, and the man hit the trunk of the tree, and his life fell, and he disturbed the bird in the forest.
The man in black was holding the ground with one hand and touching his neck with the other, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and he was short of breath and panting.
"What's the news?" The masked man in black didn't look at the man lying there, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.
The man in black propped himself up, staggered a foot away, and then stopped and knelt down, his head buried under his arm, and his hands and arms were too high to hold the news that had been discovered.
The masked man in black stretched out his palm, facing the hand of the man in black, and the paper fell on his hand instantly. Open it and take a look: the remnants of the Lin family are still alive and have changed their surnames, there is no surname Yue in the world, and Xuanyuan has become a waste chess.
After reading it, the masked man rubbed his fist with one hand, and opened his hand, and the paper had turned to ash before falling from between his fingers. "How's the auction going?"
"Back to the master, the Yonghe auction house has been controlled, and everything is going well."
"Good! In that case, tomorrow I will come to an urn to catch turtles. I saw that his right hand was raised, and he was making a grabbing motion. Only succeed, otherwise you will see you. Get down! ”
The kneeling man in black began to back away, intending to turn away. I also heard the black clothes of the mask command: "Slow down, carefully investigate the whereabouts of the remnants of the Lin family, and kill without mercy!" ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
After the man in black left, another man came out from the depths of the woods, the man was dressed in black, petite, and at first glance it was a woman, with a sword in her hand, a ponytail tied high on her head, and a striking scar on her face. She walked up to the masked man in black and shouted respectfully, "Lord." ”
"Xu Qing, you heard it just now, I don't worry, you can do this matter of the Lin family!"
"Yes, but master, there is no news yet."
"Let this go beforehand, don't let him die."
The whole Tongzhou is boiling, and the auction house of Yonghe auction this time turned out to be the third floor of the Mandarin Duck, one to ten, ten to hundred, and the city was full of storms.
Yonghe Auction House, in Tongzhou has a history of 100 years, it is said that at first, Yonghe was only a pawnshop, but the price was reasonable, slowly accumulated contacts, and later was entrusted by others to auction a cow, so it started.
Before the arrival of the Shen time, Heshun Street is the most prosperous place in the whole Tongzhou. The streets are lined with shops and restaurants. Ready-to-wear shops, rouge, jewelry, the latest fashion items can all be purchased here.
The storyteller in the Shengshi Restaurant is talking endlessly about the peculiarities of the third floor of the Mandarin Duck, and the dream is like smoke sitting on the low table on the side, on which there is a small butterfly peanut, a small butterfly melon seed, a small teapot of water, and a few small teacups. I wanted to go to the coffin shop to find Jing'er, but Aunt Li followed her inch by inch, wherever she went, Aunt Li followed, she tried to talk to Aunt Li, and Aunt Li just listened to her quietly, without saying a word. She pretended to buy things, and Aunt Li paid the money, carried the things, and tried all kinds of methods, but she couldn't get rid of it. I was bored, so I went into the restaurant. I was bored and had to toss a peanut to play.
"It is said that there are nine floors in the Mandarin Duck Building, one floor and one floor, don't worry, don't worry, listen to me one by one." The storyteller shook his head and said like a river.
"Speaking of the origin of the Mandarin Duck Tower, there are different opinions, some rumors say that it is the Book of Heaven, and some say that it is the founding emperor who sought celebrity craftsmen to build, which contains rare treasures, and each floor has a guardian, as long as he is defeated, this floor will belong to you."
"Has anyone ever beaten that?" The guest officer in the audience asked loudly.
Smack, Mr. Storyteller lifted the startling wood in his hand and slapped it on the table. "Shen Shi is almost here, Mr. has to go to see the excitement, predict the future, let's talk another day, guest officers, don't forget to give more silver."
"Cut." Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and they all made up their minds to go to Heshun Lane to have a lively look.
More and more people are gathering. This crowd is almost in time for the annual Peach Blossom Festival.
The major families have already taken their little servants to set up private rooms in Yonghe Auction House. Some even fought in order to enter the Yonghe Auction House.
Ru Wanwan, the eldest lady of the Ru family, also heard the voice, handed in the invitation sticker, and the group was entering the box that had been reserved for a long time. Looking around, I saw a pedestrian from Mengyan at the intersection on the left and paused. Seeing them coming, he bowed his waist and saluted, "Cousin Yanzhi, Gongzi Zhou, Gongzi Xuanyuan." ”
Zhou Shen began to shake the folding fan again, grinning, "Miss Ru, I haven't seen you for a few days, and she is even more beautiful." ”
Ru Wanwan's face did not change, and let him praise, "Xie Zhou's son, Gongzi is getting more and more handsome!" ”
Xuanyuan Hong snorted on the side, squeezed through the middle of Ru Wanwan and Zhou Shen, pushed Zhou Shen down, and said to Ru Wanwan: "White Lotus." ”
Zhou Shen was dissatisfied at the moment, "Why are you pushing me?" ”
Xuanyuan Hong crossed his hands around his chest, facing Zhou Shen, his nose was not his nose, and his mouth was not his mouth, "Seduced by the White Lotus again?" ”
Ru Wanwan sneered, and then put on a gentle and understanding smile, "Xuanyuan Gongzi has a big opinion of me, but I just treat it as a compliment to Gongzi, compare me with Lotus, Wanwan thanks Gongzi again." ”
"Miss Ru, please forgive me, Xuanyuan has been in a bad mood recently, if you offend, you will come to the door to make amends." Meng Yanzhi didn't seem to see their fight, more things are better than less, and he was polite on his face.
"Cousin, Wanwan won't take it to heart. The auction is almost here, let's go inside! The group began to enter the auction house.
Yunmo had already taken Yu Qing and Yu Mu into the auction house, watching the people coming and going in the private room. Seeing that the people who entered the auction house were almost all dignitaries in Tongzhou, there were no strange people entering.
"Please show me the invitation." The guards of the auction house stopped a man wearing a black shawl and a black hat, covered with a black scarf. The whole person looked black from head to toe.
Taking out the invitation letter, the guards opened it, looked at the next person, and said respectfully: "The invitation letter is right, Your Excellency, please enter." ”
As soon as he entered, everyone was staring, and he pressed the number plate on the invitation and sat down in the designated position. Everyone pointed at him, "Where did this person come from, he is completely black." ”
"That's it, we're all here to participate in the auction, look at this person, bad luck."
"Why is this auction house putting everyone in it?"
"Excuse me." Ru Jing dressed up and secretly entered the auction house. Seeing that there was a spot next to the black hat, he squeezed towards it. He politely said to the man in the black hat, "Sir, no one is sitting here!" ”。
Then he nodded, and sat down next to him. looked up at the private room where Ru Wanwan was, and looked at the outfit on her body. "I definitely don't recognize it, and I don't make trouble, I just want to know what the hell is on the third floor."
