"I ......"

Lu Tianhao was speechless for a while, wanting to prevaricate like a rhetoric, but Xu Rui suddenly grabbed his wrist, which shocked him.

"Brother Xu, you ......"

Lu Tianhao was stunned for a moment, looked back, and saw Xu Rui say with a smile: "Oh, there is another auction to start, I am really curious, if Brother Lu is not so anxious, why don't you take a look at the situation before going?" ”

Lu Tianhao's face changed slightly, and when he looked back, he saw that the buyers who originally wanted to leave were all called back by the little guys in Wanfulou, and the people on the auction table also changed, and now it is too late to stop Cui Lingwen.

Looking at Zheng Yichen again, he was also looking at Lu Tianhao, and shook his head at him with a wry smile.

"Both...... Since Brother Xu is in high spirits, he will go again later, and he will go again later......"

Lu Tianhao sighed in his heart, so he had to pretend to be calm and return to his seat and sit down.

He secretly glanced at Xu Rui, only to see that Xu Rui was still smiling, looking at the auction table intently, as if he was very curious about the lots that would appear in a while.

At this time, Lu Tianhao also woke up to some extent, since he saw this young man, he seemed to have punched the cotton, it seemed to be a coincidence, but he had been led by his nose.

Could it be that all this is a calculation, the purpose is to provoke Cui Lingwen and force him to put those unsightly things on the table in advance?

But even so, this is Xichuan, what can Xu Rui do with this? What was hidden under his smile?

Lu Tianhao's face was immersed, silently pondering Xu Rui's true thoughts and the countermeasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the shopkeeper, the owner has an order, with the luxury of Tianbao Pavilion, today's auction will be carried out in advance, there are many people here, the owner means not to let Tianbao Pavilion be beautiful in the front, and also let the colleagues from the capital see our good things in Xichuan!"

On the auction table, a 30-year-old shopkeeper was smiling and introduced loudly, and the sellers also had a little more expectation when they heard such a novelty, and looked at the auction table intently.

In the box of Tianzihao, Cui Lingwen looked at Xu Rui from a distance and sneered, while in the box of Tianzihao, Lu Tianhao and Zheng Yichen's faces sank like water, but Xu Rui seemed to be excited.

"Without further ado, let's take a look at today's first lot, the best slave girl!"

The shopkeeper saw that the atmosphere was good, so he no longer hung everyone's appetite, and with a wave of his big sleeves, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl came to the stage.

The girl was dressed in a pink long skirt, with delicate facial features, bright ** people, smiling slightly, and the charm that was extremely inconsistent with her age suddenly climbed up to her eyebrows, hooking people to move.

"This slave's name is Mei'er, although she is still a virgin, but since she was six years old, she has been trained by the most experienced mother, not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also the ability to serve people is even more perfect."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper suddenly smiled obscenely and said to Mei'er: "Open your mouth and take it off!" ”

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know what the shopkeeper wanted Mei'er to take out of her mouth, so they couldn't help but stare at her curiously.

Mei'er's face suddenly turned red, and she obediently opened her cherry mouth, and actually took out the teeth in her mouth.

It turned out that the white teeth in her mouth were all fake, and there was not even a single tooth on the upper and lower gums.

"This ......"

The people present suddenly gasped and looked at the shopkeeper in astonishment, waiting for his next step.

Seeing that everyone was extremely curious, the shopkeeper said proudly: "Don't be surprised, the proprietor and the shopkeeper, teeth are sometimes superfluous.

Imagine the moment of the Spring Festival, if there is no tooth obstruction, and with Mei'er's tongue, wouldn't it be a real desire to die? I believe that as long as you try it once, you will know the taste of the marrow, and you will never be able to do without Meier from now on. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately suddenly, looking at this woman's beautiful and charming appearance, and then thinking about the beauty of that toothless mouth, all of them were hot, their hearts were racing, and they were eager to try.

In the box, Lu Tianhao stared intently at Xu Rui's every move, Xu Rui still had a smile on his face, but his heart had already turned upside down.

His natural way, the female slave on the auction table was knocked out of her teeth since she was a child, and then trained to serve men's playthings, maybe she was also tasked with spying on intelligence behind her back, how cruel this method was, it was simply inhumane.

But what shocked Xu Rui the most was not the cruel methods, but the slave girl named Mei'er herself.

In the mansion of Yue Shang, Xu Rui had seen such female slaves, but those female slaves had not yet grown up, and they had been killed and exterminated.

At the moment, this Mei'er is almost exactly the same as those children who died tragically, and her face is painted with makeup, which is only available in Tianbao Pavilion, indicating that she is very likely to be from the capital, and it is from Yue Shang's group!

It seems that Yue Shang's death did not stop this criminal business, and the four major families in Xichuan are actually the end link in this industrial chain, indicating that the black hand in the capital must have close contacts with the four major families.

Maybe it's not just a business, but how many local forces like the four major families are?

The mastermind behind the scenes in the capital can completely control the powerful in various places through such a criminal industrial chain, and at the very least, he can establish a co-prosperity and symbiosis relationship that is not humane to outsiders, what a terrible political force is this?

No wonder Emperor Hongwei didn't dare to investigate to the end, if the suppression was too much, these forces would resist together, and it would be enough to cause an uproar at that time, and if it was not handled well, it would likely hurt the fundamentals, and even the emperor would have a headache.

While Xu Rui was secretly frightened, he also had a new understanding of the four major families, could a family like this that had mastered the criminal industry chain still cooperate with it?

Open up foreign trade, carry out substantial product dumping against the Western Liang and even the Southern Dynasties, and use the other side's economic dependence on their own country to subtly weaken the enemy while obtaining huge profits to develop industry.

This is not only a key part of his development strategy for Galaxy, but also a key part of his long-term efforts to end the division and unify the world.

If you join the mastermind behind the scenes, there will be a lot of uncertainty in everything, because although Emperor Hongwei has temporarily forbearance, the inside story that broke out from the case of Yue Shang is too shocking, and Emperor Hongwei will never allow this cancer to exist for a long time.

Perhaps the Emperor is already secretly preparing now, or is already starting to attack this cancer, and he and the fragile industrial system must not be implicated in the slightest with them.

In addition, because of his performance in the Yue Shang case, he has already formed a bond with the mastermind behind the scenes, if the force that secretly contacted Cao Siyuan is really them, then his trip to Xichuan this time is tantamount to crashing into the opponent's net, I am afraid it will be full of risks, and it will not be easy to get out of the whole body.

Reason told Xu Rui that for the sake of safety, he should give up this trip to Xichuan and return home as soon as possible, but this is not only equivalent to giving up the rubber forest that was finally discovered, but also the first step of industrial development will also be blocked, which Xu Rui can't afford.

But if he was forced to stay in Xichuan, how could he bypass the four major families to advance his plan?

Things are getting more and more complicated......

For a while, Xu Rui fell into a dilemma, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Brother Xu, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Xu Rui's face suddenly became a little stiff, Lu Tianhao asked worriedly.

Xu Rui came back to his senses, immediately put a smile on his face again, got up and said: "Although the slave girl is good, she can be very strict in the next family, and she will not be blessed, when I think of this, I feel that it is a pity, and then it is tasteless, Brother Tianhao, why don't we leave here?" ”

Lu Tianhao was slightly stunned, thinking that Xu Rui, as an official of the imperial court, was probably very disgusted by such a human transaction, and it was reasonable for him to leave, but he obviously had something in his heart but couldn't bear it, and he didn't even say a word of seriousness, why?

The more abnormal it is, the more strange it becomes, and Lu Tianhao doesn't want to stay any longer, he admits that he can't understand Xu Rui at all, and just hopes to go home as soon as possible to report what he saw and heard today, so that the elders can guide him.

"I'm tired just now, since Brother Xu is no longer elegant, let's go."

Lu Tianhao stood up, confessed to Zheng Yichen with Xu Rui, and walked out.

Zheng Yichen looked at the backs of the two, and then remembered the change in their faces before, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and finally stood up, gestured towards the Tianzihao box opposite, and then followed the two out of the door.

"The dirt bun is gone, hum!"

In the Tianzi box, Cui Lingwen saw Xu Rui and the others leaving, and finally felt a little more comfortable, and beckoned to his companion and said, "Go and bring the baby of Young Master Ben." ”

The companion was stunned: "Young master, there are many people here, isn't it?" ”

Cui Lingwen frowned, and said angrily: "Let you take it, you can take it, and if you talk so much, you will get out of this young master!" ”

The companion was so excited that he didn't dare to say more, and turned around and took out a chic cigarette gun from his baggage.
