The auction house is located on one of the busiest streets in the provincial capital.

A six-story building stands on the side of the road.

Zhao Ziyi asked Mei Lin while parking, "I heard about your fight with Ding Qi, you are also a little too self-conscious, right?"

You may not know that in that chaotic place, to be one of the four major warehouse owners, Ding Qi still has some strength.

Don't say it's you, even we won't offend him easily.

So I can't help you with this! ”

Zhao Ziyi sorted out the relationship between himself and Mei Lin, for fear of getting into trouble with Ding Qi.

Of course, Mei Lin understood what he meant, and said, Uncle Zhao, don't worry, this is my own decision, and I have nothing to do with others.

"That's good!"

They got out of the car in turn, Zhao Ziyi and Zhao Yuhan walked in front, and Mei Lin followed behind them.

A staircase more than a foot high leads to the main entrance of the auction house.

Mei Lin has never been here before, and she thinks it is very novel.

But when he saw the two people standing in the doorway, his brows immediately furrowed.

Zhao Yongfeng was looking at Zhao Yuhan with a smile, his eyes shining.

Next to him stood a dignified-looking middle-aged man, who knew at a glance that it was Zhang Yongfeng's father, Zhang Yuan.

The father and son were waiting for Zhao Ziyi's father and daughter at the door, and they had already made an appointment before.

To Mei Lin's surprise, Zhao Yuhan actually beckoned to Zhang Yongfeng, and his attitude was much more enthusiastic than when he saw him.

Zhang Yongfeng hurriedly greeted him, took Zhao Yuhan's hand and walked up the steps.

Seeing this scene, Mei Lin's blood poured up to the top of his head.

But he wasn't the impulsive young man, and he suppressed his anger.

Zhang Yongfeng only had Zhao Yuhan in his eyes, and he didn't notice Mei Lin who was following behind.

Zhao Ziyi smiled on his face and followed behind them.

When they reached the top of the steps, Zhang Yuan shook hands with Zhao Ziyi, and they seemed to know each other very well.

Mei Lin's face was ugly, and he followed Zhao Ziyi over.

Zhang Yongfeng was very surprised when he saw Mei Lin at this time.

He pointed at Mei Lin and asked, why are you here too?

Mei Lin said lukewarmly, you can come, why can't I come?

Zhang Yongfeng was completely frightened by Mei Lin.

He let go of Zhao Yuhan's hand, walked up to Zhang Yuan, and said, Dad, he is the one who has been making trouble for us!

Zhang Yuan's gaze fell on Mei Lin.

His gaze was so sharp that people didn't dare to look at him.

Mei Lin didn't avoid his gaze, staring at the other party intently.

Zhang Yuan had only heard Zhang Yongfeng mention Mei Lin, but he had never seen him.

Mei Lin was a stumbling block to the marriage between the Zhang family and the Zhao family, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to force him to leave the provincial capital.

Seeing that both sides were not good, Zhao Ziyi hurriedly said, "Brother Zhang, he is our junior, don't be like him."

Let's go in together! ”

They should go inside first, followed by Zhao Yuhan and Zhang Yongfeng.

Although Zhang Yuan supported him, Zhang Yongfeng was still a little jealous of Mei Lin, and deliberately distanced himself from him.

He whispered something to Zhao Yuhan.

Mei Lin followed them like a superfluous person.

The auction hall is very spacious, and those who can come here are all figures with heads and faces in the provincial capital.

There were not many people who came, about one hundred and eighty.

Closest to the auction table, there are four chairs in a row.

Obviously, it was reserved for the four major families in the provincial capital.

In the provincial capital, they are the strongest, and wherever they go, they will treat them as VIPs.

Zhang Yuan sat directly on the third chair from the left, and Zhao Ziyi sat next to him on the most side of the chair.

They all have a tacit understanding and arrange the seats according to the strength of the family.

The first chair must have been prepared for the strongest Wu family.

It's just that the Wu family has a mysterious background, and they rarely show up even in the provincial capital.

The chair was empty.

On the second chair sat a young man, about twenty years old, with a mild-mannered attitude.

He greeted Zhang Yuan and Zhao Ziyi with a smile.

He is the Zhou family and Mei Lin's biggest competitor.

Although he was very young, Zhao Ziyi and Zhang Yuan did not dare to underestimate him at all.

Zhou Yuang, the head of the Zhou family, is very low-key, and rarely shows up, and even Zhao Ziyi has never seen him a few times.

The young man is Zhou Yuang's eldest son, named Zhou Yun.

Most of the affairs of the Zhou family are taken care of by him.

This person is very cerebral and things are handled in an orderly manner.

In just a few years, the strength of the Zhou family has risen from the last of the four major families to the second place.

So whether it is the Zhao family or the Zhang family, they are very jealous of this young man.

Zhang Yongfeng and Zhao Yuhan sat behind their fathers.

Mei Lin was different from them, he sat at the back of the auction room.

Most of the people sitting here are not very important.

Next to Mei Lin sat a thin middle-aged man, his face was blue, and he occasionally coughed lightly.

Mei Lin learned from her grandfather to treat various incurable diseases since she was a child.

He could tell at a glance that there must be something wrong with this person's lungs.

He had his head bowed, a black top hat on his head, and most of his face was obscured by the brim.

Mei Lin had only sat down for a few minutes when the auction began.

The competition for the auction items is not very fierce, and there are no antiques of particular value.

The three people sitting in the front row never made a move.

The antiques were taken away by the people behind them.

Halfway through the auction, someone walked out with an antique covered in red silk cloth and carefully placed it on the auction table.

The host also seemed to be in spirit, he slowly lifted the red silk cloth, and a bronze Dan furnace came out of it.

Mei Yuan had taught Mei Lin a lot of alchemy knowledge, and he also knew all kinds of alchemy utensils.

The best one of them is, of course, the bronze Dan furnace.

But it's a very precious thing, and it's almost impossible to come by.

Grandpa has been refining medicine all his life, and all he uses is a blackened ceramic casserole.

Seeing it, Mei Lin held her breath.

The host's voice came, "This is the highlight of tonight, the alchemy furnace used by Fang Shi during the Ming Dynasty, the starting price is 200,000!" ”

Hearing the price he said, Mei Lin was stunned.

He couldn't have imagined that such an alchemy furnace was worth so much money.

Hearing the offer, Zhao Ziyi glanced back at him and asked for his opinion.

Mei Lin gritted her teeth and nodded at him.

You have to get the alchemy furnace first, and as for the money you owe to Zhao Ziyi, you will find a way to pay it back to him later.

Zhao Ziyi raised his hand and said lightly, two hundred and fifty thousand!

The scene immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the alchemy furnace.

Mei Lin's gaze fell on Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun tilted his head and looked at the Dan Furnace, with no expression on his face.

The host said, 250,000 once, 250,000 twice......

As soon as his words fell, Zhou Yun said softly, 300,000!

Almost everyone in the room knew him, so it wasn't a surprise at all.

Zhao Ziyi followed and said, three hundred and fifty thousand!

Zhou Yun smiled and asked, Uncle Zhao, when did you become interested in this kind of thing?

Zhao Ziyi said, this is the only thing that can be seen today, of course I want to get it.

Zhou Yun said, this is really unfortunate, I also take a fancy to it, or Uncle Zhao, you can give it to me.

Zhao Ziyi said, how can I easily give things to others?

The two of them kept raising the price, and finally the Dan furnace was increased to 500,000 by them.

Zhao Ziyi's face was slightly calm, for him, 500,000 was not a big amount, but he didn't want to spend the money on such a Dan furnace.

The main thing is that he is helping Mei Lin buy it.

Zhou Yun was determined to get it, and directly increased it to 600,000.

Zhao Ziyi hesitated for a moment and looked back at Mei Lin.

Although Mei Lin really wanted to get the Dan Furnace, he didn't want to make it difficult for Zhao Ziyi.

Before he could respond, Zhang Yuan had already understood what Zhao Ziyi meant, and asked in a low voice, Brother Zhao, are you helping him buy a Dan furnace?

Zhao Ziyi knew about the knot between Mei Lin and the Zhang family, and of course he didn't want to offend the Zhang family because of Mei Lin.

He nodded, and Zhang Yuan looked at Zhao Ziyi with a frown.

Zhao Ziyi shook his head silently and stopped raising the price.

At this time, the man sitting next to Mei Lin asked in a low voice, Little brother, you seem to be very interested in the Dan Furnace, do you know how to refine medicine?

His voice was a little dry and soft.

Mei Lin was a little frustrated, he nodded, and said, I understand a little, this Dan furnace is very important to me, it's a pity!

Hearing him say that he could refine medicine, a trace of excitement appeared in the man's eyes, but he no longer spoke, but coughed twice.

The host asked three times in a row, but no one responded.

With a snapping sound, the final word was reached, and the Dan furnace was slapped by Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun turned around and said with a smile, Uncle Zhao, I'm sorry, the thing belongs to me.

Zhao Ziyi nodded and said, since you are so interested in it, I am embarrassed to rob you again.

Zhou Yun said, then thank you Uncle Zhao for giving it to me.

After that, the group stopped talking.

As for the next auction, it didn't arouse Mei Lin's interest at all.

He sat there on pins and needles, and the auction was finally over.

Zhao Ziyi and Zhang Yuan walked out together.

Zhao Ziyi said to Mei Lin, nephew, I'm really sorry, this matter couldn't be done.

Mei Lin said, thank you Uncle Zhao for your help, you also did your best.

Zhao Ziyi sighed, looked at Zhang Yuan and didn't speak again.

Between Mei Lin and Zhang Yuan, he will definitely choose Zhang Yuan.

Because in Zhao Ziyi's eyes, Mei Lin has no value at all.

Everyone reached the steps outside the auction hall.

Zhang Yongfeng sneered and said to Mei Lin, "You bought that Dan furnace to deal with Ding Qi, right?"

You're going to die of this heart, and you're no match for him in any case. ”

Mei Lin stared at him intently and said, "I know, these are all arranged by you, don't worry, I won't give in like this."

I want to keep this life and see how your Zhang family declines! ”

I didn't expect him to say such a thing.

Even Zhang Yuan stared at Mei Lin with angry eyes.

Although he really wants to get rid of this thorn in his eye, because he is an elder, it is not good to turn his face directly with this junior.

Facing Mei Lin's gaze, Zhang Yongfeng took a few steps back timidly.

Especially thinking of Zhang Lei's miserable appearance when his finger was cut off, he was a little frightened.

can think that it will be difficult for Xiao Zhao to come back for a while and a half, so he has some confidence.

said with a sneer, I'm afraid you won't live that day!

He beckoned not far away, and a group of people walked towards him.

The leader was Zhang Lei, whose little fingers were broken at the root and wrapped in gauze.

He was followed by He Tao, Stone, Monkey and others.

Zhang Lei also knew that Xiao Zhao was not there.

He took out all his anger on Merlin.

Zhang Yongfeng told him to clean him up and leave a breath. Then let Ding Qi give him a thorough one!

Zhang Lei was waiting for his words.

A group of people surrounded Mei Lin, who gritted his teeth and did not retreat.

He heard Zhao Yuhan shout in a low voice, Dad!

Her meaning was obvious, she wanted Zhao Ziyi to help solve the siege.

But Zhao Ziyi was hindered by Zhang Yuan being here, and refused to help Mei Lin.

Mei Lin's lonely figure was surrounded by the other party.

He clenched his fists tightly, and Zhang Lei's hideous face got closer and closer.

Zhang Lei said, Xiao Zhao cut off one of my fingers, and I want to cut off all your fingers!

After speaking, he pounced on Mei Lin.

Before he got to Mei Lin, he suddenly heard someone say, brother, come here, I have something to discuss with you!

Hearing the voice, Zhang Lei stopped.
