Chapter 148: Auction House

From the moment Li Ding entered Gusang City, he fell into a scam due to a misunderstanding, although he escaped from Master Zhong by luck, he fell into another bigger conspiracy for no reason.

Perhaps, as the mysterious young man said, he became a scapegoat for others, but Li Ding had no way of knowing what the cause of everything was.

Li Dingwei was surprised by the mysterious young man's answer, and for a while the two didn't seem to have any further conversations, and the atmosphere in the small room became dull.

Li Ding looked at the young man, not knowing what to say, and after the young man finished saying that, he turned his head to look out the window, and at this moment, the noise outside the window became louder and louder.

Li Ding had already noticed the agitation of the crowd under the dim red light outside the window, but when he really looked out the window, he found that there was no window frame on the window, and there seemed to be a transparent film reflecting the light outside the window, but it did not affect the scene outside the window at all.

Outside the window, there is a spacious hall shrouded in a huge dome, and the hall is surrounded by a circle of houses with reading windows on three floors, and judging by the number of windows, there are about a dozen rooms on each floor, and a large red lantern hangs at every interval in between, reflecting the whole hall in a dark red.

Li Ding found himself in a room on the second floor, and at a glance, the spacious space had a wide view. It's just that under the dim red light, Li Ding couldn't see the scene on both sides and in the opposite window clearly, as if something blocked his vision.

With a look in his eyes, Li Ding was about to stare intently, when the voice of the mysterious young man suddenly sounded: "Don't use your soul power in vain, the windows are filled with crystal plates made of 'Yuan Huang Crystal', it is impossible for you to see the situation in other windows."

Li Ding was stunned, although he didn't understand what the Yuan Huang Crystal was, but he realized that this thing must have the effect of blocking soul power, and couldn't help but reach out to the window, there was really a layer of transparent things inlaid on it, and said in surprise at the moment: "There is really such a magical thing." ”

The mysterious young man smiled: "Don't you know?" Li Ding shook his head, and the mysterious young man said: "From the first time I saw you, I thought you were very special, and the facts have proved that you are also ...... It was a surprise. ”

Li Ding is helpless about this, for him who is not deeply involved in the world, after all, there are too many things he doesn't know. The mysterious young man smiled again and stopped talking, and the two looked out the window again.

Li Ding found that the crowd below was gathered around a circular platform about three zhang in diameter, and several half-human-high fences divided the surrounding space into four parts in a fan-shaped shape, and each part had a counter placed at the top of the fan-shaped platform near the circular high platform.

In the noise, the people outside the counter were squeezing forward hard, and people kept putting small bags on the counter, Li Ding finally couldn't help asking, "What is this place?"

"Didn't you see it just outside just now? This is the largest auction house in Gusang City. The mysterious young man said.

However, as soon as the mysterious young man's words came out, Li Ding couldn't help but be surprised, he couldn't believe that he was in an auction hall surrounded by officers and soldiers. For a while, Li Ding was full of curiosity about the identity of the mysterious young man.

Li Ding imagined a variety of possibilities, guessing the reason why the mysterious young man did this, and he asked with a hint of luck, "May I ask...... How the hell did you get me in, you must know that the officers and soldiers outside, including those below, should want to catch me and get the reward of 10,000 gold, right?"

The mysterious young man turned his head and said, "In this city, as long as you pay the starting price, there is nothing that cannot be done. But when it comes to money, in a city where everything is about money, it would be a windfall to hand you over, but do you think I'd do it?"

The mysterious young man's rhetorical question made Li Ding stunned, looking at the young man's eyes, Li Ding found that there was nothing else but indifference, so he said: "With your strength, you may no longer care about the 10,000 gold coins......, right?" You've got the answer you wanted, haven't you...... You can send me out. ”

Li Ding really couldn't guess the slightest clue about this young man, with the strength of the young man, it was simply a gesture to hand him over to the officers and soldiers, but the young man did not do so, which made Li Ding see a little hope of getting out.

The mysterious young man smiled faintly and said, "I don't think anyone will think that they have a lot of money, what I can tell you is that if you are not the city lord of Gusang City, I will really hand you over." ”

Hearing this, Li Ding was shocked again, this sentence showed that the mysterious young man was saving him, but they had never known each other, and Li Ding had to wonder what his purpose was. But seeing that the mysterious young man's eyes did not change at all, he couldn't help asking, "Why?"

"It's good that you still don't know something, but for your safety, you can't leave just yet. The auction is about to start, so I advise you to watch it with me, I believe you will learn a lot. The mysterious young man continued.

As soon as the mysterious young man's words fell, the lights outside the window suddenly became brighter, Li Ding looked out impatiently, and found that four lanterns with white light were lit above the dome of the circular high platform, and under the dazzling light, the entire high platform was reflected extremely brightly.

At this time, Li Ding could fully see the scene below, there was a wide aisle in the middle of the four areas that had been divided below, and there were long seats in the area, obviously for those outside the counter, and at the edge of the hall, there were all rows of officers and soldiers.

Seeing this, Li Ding subconsciously moved his head inward, but heard the mysterious young man say: "Don't worry, although it is only an intermediate private room, you can't see the inside of the room from the outside." ”

"Intermediate private room?" Li Ding asked, since he couldn't leave, he naturally had to ask clearly.

"As you can see, there are three floors here, the lower floor is an ordinary private room, and the top is a VIP private room, but no matter what kind of private room, it naturally costs money to come in, and those who can't afford to pay for the private room can only stay below, just like those boring gamblers. The mysterious young man pointed to the excited humanity below.

"Then what are they doing?" Li Ding could already see that the money bags that those people threw on the counter were one by one.

"The auction house is naturally a place to auction things, although many of these people are not here for the auction items, but since they are selling things, there is a price, these people are betting on the price of the auction items, once the bet is won, how much you press the auction house will lose. Of course, there will be people bidding for a certain sale later, and if you can, you can also bet on the transaction price of the auction item, and if you win the bet, you can get several times or even dozens of times the payout. The mysterious young man explained.

This was the first time that the mysterious young man had said so many words to Li Ding, which surprised Li Ding a little, and at the same time, it also made him know some things about the auction house. Thinking of the middle-aged man he was following before, Li Ding guessed that he must have come to participate in the gambling price.

"Knock ......"

Li Ding was thinking about it, when a heavy drum suddenly sounded outside the window, which made him shake all over, and when he looked down, he saw that the crowd that seemed to be extremely excited just now immediately quieted down, except for some people who were still standing by the counter in their respective areas, the rest of them were sitting on the benches.

But soon there was a small tickle in the crowd, and Li Ding noticed a hole in the circular platform in the center of the hall, and a person was slowly rising.

Under the bright light, a light blue tunic low-cut dress indicated that this person was a woman, and when Li Ding saw the pair of eyes full of charm under the woman's slender eyebrows, he suddenly stood up from the chair.

The woman in front of her is dressed in a thick dress, her slender eyebrows are carefully outlined, her eyes are shining with a strange look, her nose shows her arrogance, and her gestures are even more glamorous.

Li Ding looked at this woman in surprise, because this was not at all like the woman with a plain and clean face he had seen before, but Li Ding could be sure from the first time he saw the woman that this woman was the culprit who tricked him into Gusang City - Miss Zhong Family.

"Do you know her?" Seeing Li Ding stand up with a surprised expression, the mysterious young man frowned slightly and said.

Li Ding was stunned for a moment, then sat down immediately, frowned and looked at the woman who was smiling brightly and said, "I was just passing by Gusang City, and it was that woman who tricked me into ...... The City Lord's Mansion also had a later matter. ”

"Lied to you?" the mysterious young man's face showed confusion for the first time.

"You have been following me for so long, you should know that the outfit I was wearing before was very special, and the people who were with this woman detained me and wanted to get hundreds of thousands of gold coins from me. Li Ding said.

"Did you kidnap you?" asked the mysterious young man, Li Ding nodded, and the mysterious young man suddenly said: "I really don't know if it's saying that you are lucky, or that the people in the City Lord's Mansion are stupid, and with your strength, you really escaped, but this doesn't explain why they want you." ”

After the mysterious young man finished speaking, the puzzle on his face lightened a little, but his eyes were not as indifferent as before.

"Why do you want to know the reason so much?" Li Ding asked, maybe the fact that Li Ding was able to escape was nothing to the mysterious young man, but Li Ding himself knew how dangerous it was at that time.

The mysterious young man did not answer Li Ding, but turned his head to look out the window, and because of the appearance of Miss Zhong below, the scene suddenly became lively again.

"Giggle......... Can you be quiet?"

After a burst of crisp laughter suddenly sounded, Miss Zhong's crisp voice strangely reached Li Ding's ears through the noisy voice, which also made the atmosphere of the scene quiet again.

I saw Miss Zhong's waist swaying slightly, turned around and looked around for a week and said: "Friends, today is the second auction of this month, thank you for coming, here I want to inform you in advance, the auctions that are auctioned today are a little special, and there will be a heavyweight lot, but it is not convenient to say what the lot is, but I want to remind everyone that if you don't have a friend with hundreds of millions of gold coins, you have to think of a way now." ”

Miss Zhong's voice is still as beautiful as Li Ding's first time she heard it, but it is less gentle and tactful, and more crisp taste, and Li Ding also heard a trace of strange ** meaning from it, because with her words, the atmosphere of the scene was completely controlled by her.
