Although on this night, there are many people who have not slept well, there are many people who are busy, and even some people have not slept all night, and such a big thing happened in Suzhou City, but the second day of the New Year bidding in Neku still arrived as scheduled.

This is the rule, this is the rule of the imperial court in the past.

Therefore, even if Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng asked the transfer department to postpone the bidding date for a few days on the grounds of the strict ban in Suzhou City and the assassination of Xia Qifei, Fan Xian was still categorical and demanded that the bidding must start on time and not be postponed for a moment.

The Ming family had already bought a night's time, and if they were given more time to react, who knew what else would happen?

Fan Xian rubbed his sour eyebrows, forcibly hid the tired face on his face, and looked at the merchants who rushed in. He found that although the expressions of these Jiangnan giants were still calm, there was still a strange emotion hidden in their eyes, and it seemed that the assassination of Xia Qifei last night also brought them great trouble. Fan Xian just couldn't judge for the time being whether this change was good or ...... for his plan Bad.

The father and son of the Ming family were the penultimate group of people who walked into the inner mansion, followed by the chief of the clan and the account man, saluting around with a gentle face, and the officials and businessmen looked away with a little perfunctory, and no one dared to show too much affection with the Ming family in front of Fan Xian.

When the father and son of the Ming family saluted in front of the main hall, Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng treated each other gently. It's a clear sign of support for the other side. Fan Xian looked at it coldly, nodded with a smile, and waved his hand to let the other party take a seat - Ming Qingdadi's eyes were very strange, and he seemed very calm, it seemed that the other party didn't know for what reason, and he was not very afraid of his revenge for Xia Qifei's assassination last night.

Before the gate closed, the people from Jiangnan Water Village also arrived.

Behind Xia Qifei, except for the few old officials of the household department sent by Fan Xian in the past. There were only three guards left, and the rest of the brothers had already died on the long street last night.

Today, Xia Qifei's face turned pale. It seems that there is no way to recover from the serious injuries he suffered, but today is a big deal, so he has to come over.

Compared with the bandage on his body, the white belt on his forehead was particularly dazzling and shiny, and the subordinates behind him also wore white cloth bands on their heads, in this spring. There was a chill like ice.

Bringing filial piety into the inner library door, for the first time in decades, this is the first time.

The eyes of everyone in the house were projected on such a group of robbers with filial piety and murderous spirit, the Lingnan Xiong family. The businessmen led by the Sun family in Quanzhou walked out of the room, greeted Xia Qifei, and comforted him softly.

With the support of his subordinates, Xia Qifei slowly walked to the front of the main hall, and did not glance at the father and son of the Ming family in the first room. said softly: "Xia is still here." ”

Gonggong Hong and Guo Zheng's faces were a little strange.

The corners of Fan Xian's eyes twitched, and he immediately returned to normal. Calmly spread his right hand, and said calmly and firmly: "As long as you come, there is a place for you here." ”

Everyone understood the meaning of Fan Xian's words, but Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng couldn't accuse Fan Xian of anything from this sentence, today Xue Qing, the governor of Jiangnan, said that he was sick but did not come, and now in the mansion, Fan Xian's official position is the highest, and it is clear that Xue Qing is letting Fan Xian do things.

But the backers of the Ming family will not see the whole situation being controlled by Fan Xian, and Huang Gonggong said after a little hesitation: "Mr. Xia, I heard that the fighting in the rivers and lakes in Suzhou City last night broke out again, and your family suffered a lot of losses...... However, this Dai Xiao was admitted to the hospital, and it was not in line with the ceremony. ”

Xia Qifei's background is not glorious after all, so the old lady of the Ming family dared to invite the master of the Junshan Society to carry out the sniping work, after all, if Xia Qifei can be killed, too many problems can be solved, and it can also be pushed into the chaos of the rivers and lakes afterwards.

Huang Gonggong's statement at this time is nothing more than wanting to confirm this.

Fan Xian didn't bother to care about these nominal things with the other party at all, but listened to Huang Gonggong say that Dai Xiao was admitted to the hospital, and after Yu Li didn't fit the eight characters, his anger gradually rose, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly: "Huang Gonggong, don't force this official to be angry." ”

Although this sentence is said lightly, the sound seems to be scraped out of the gap of an iceberg, from the abyss underground...... It was so cold and cold that it made those who heard it shudder.

Don't make the official angry!

This sentence got into Huang Gonggong's ears, making the old eunuch shudder involuntarily, and quickly stopped his mouth - don't be angry with this girl, let him go, anyway, the Ming family has been preparing all night, as long as he stares at it for a while, there will be no problem, if Fan Xian takes the opportunity to launch a biao at this time, who can stop him? It's not good to break the big thing.

Guo Zheng, who was about to speak, was also cold, and quickly choked back what he was about to say, last night they all thought that Fan Xian would be angry and recklessly attacked, so they had already written a chapter for each other, and when they were ready, they were ready to seize Fan Xian's handle...... Unexpectedly, Fan Xian kept calm, which not only disappointed him and Huang Gonggong, but also knew that the evil fire in Fan Xian's heart had been holding back, and he didn't know when it would break out.

Thinking of the ministers of Shangshu who fell under Fan Xian, Guo Zheng also retreated, the eldest prince mainly wanted to protect the share of the Ming family, not the face of the Ming family.

......

......

There was another cannon shot, and the confetti outside the courtyard of the inner library mansion flew wildly, and the smoke gradually filled.

Fan Xian squinted, looking at this somewhat familiar scene, but somehow thought of last year, on the day he left the Northern Qi Dynasty and went to Beijing, the moment he heard the news of Zhuang Mohan's death, on that day, the firecrackers outside the gate of Shangjing City to see him off were also like seeing off everyone in Zhuang.

Are today's firecrackers a send-off for those who died last night?

Xia Qifei walked back to room B 4 with his subordinates in silence and took off the white belt tied on his head. Spread carefully on the table. Straight one, the brothers behind him also took off the white belt with the eldest brother, and laid it straight, one by one, strong and powerful.

Fan Xiandi's brows furrowed imperceptibly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The official in charge of the singing ceremony of the inner library once again stood on the stone steps, and the bidding of the inner library was opened on the second day. It's officially started.

Yesterday, a total of five bids were issued, and there were a total of 16 bids in the inner library. In addition to the last two points and eight marks, there are three remaining marks, which are sung at the beginning.

The Ming family still did not shout according to the agreement between the merchants in Jiangnan, but Xia Qifei did not seem to be disturbed by the events of last night, and began to bid very calmly, seizing one of the bids

The other two bids were won by the Lingnan Xiong family and the Hangzhou Chen family, which were probably discussed in Jiangnan last night.

After Fan Xian got the offer from the flower hall, he confirmed that Xia Qifei had won this standard, and couldn't help but nod secretly. Xia Qifei was not presumptuous, which he appreciated.

The bidding of these three bids was unremarkable, and the prices were basically the same as in previous years, so there was nothing surprising about them. But there was no big reaction from all the businessmen and officials in the room, because everyone knew. Today's heavy scene is behind, in the last eight bids that the Ming family is bound to win.

......

......

"Xingdongnan Road and Hailu Erfang goods, a total of four bids, began to publish books, the highest price ...... Got ......."

The official of the Inner Treasury Transfer Division stood on the stone steps, shouting expressionlessly, he didn't know how many years he had been shouting this sentence, every year after this sentence was shouted, only the Ming family would respond to the standard, and no one would rob the Ming family, so he felt tasteless and tasteless when he shouted it.

But, this year is different.

When the salute fell, the first one pushed open the door and handed out the kraft paper fief, which was the fourth room!

There was a buzz in the mansion and countless discussions, Xia Qifei, the seventh young master who was rumored to have been abandoned by the Ming family, finally began to make a move against the Ming family.

In the past few years, because of the strength of his own family, and the eldest princess watching in the aftertrial, no one in Jiangnan businessmen dared to bargain with him, so the Ming family sang a one-man show in the last eight bids and the Cui family in the first six bids.

After singing this kind of drama for a long time, I will eventually get tired of it, and today there is finally someone to fight with the Ming family, Ming Qingda is slightly frightened, but also has a trace of excitement.

He smiled and said to his son beside him, "Duo Er, press him down." ”

Ming Lanshi was shocked, his father meant that the first round of bidding was twenty percent more than last year's set price?

Ming Qingda picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "There are more than two percent of the ground, and it is not Xia Qifei who is pressing, but someone else." ”

Ming Lanshi was puzzled, thinking that in the courtyard of the underground treasury today, except for Xia Qifei, who had the support of Lord Qincha, who else would dare to compete with his own family for these two major standards? In the heart of this young master of the Ming family, he still firmly believed that Xia Qifei's confidence came from the silver that Fan Xian had transferred from the household department, and the rest of the people did not have this strength at all.

Ming Qingda didn't say anything, but he was like a mirror in his heart, Fan Xian asked Xia Qifei to sweep the goods around yesterday, this is to make the rest of the merchants in Jiangnan become a hungry wolf, and a hungry wolf, anyone dares to bite two bites of meat.

......

......

When the two brown paper envelopes were handed into the flower hall, all the merchants and officials who were concerned about the matter dropped their butts back to their seats, and let out a breath of turbidity, knowing that the show was officially staged.

But there seem to be a lot of people who didn't guess where the play was going.

The door of Room B No. 1 was also slowly pushed open, and a piece of brown paper was handed out and sealed into the hands of the official in front of the door.

Quanzhou Sun family!

There was a big uproar in the hospital, and no one thought that the Sun family in Quanzhou would come to grab this hot soup when the two tigers were fighting!

"Sun family!" Ming Lanshi looked at his father in shock and said, "Where did their family get so much silver?"

Ming Qingda's face remained unchanged, and he said: "The Sun family is not enough, can't a few families make it up? Don't you think that Xiong Bailing, the old thing, has become too quiet today? And those families who have been staring at us all the time, if it weren't for the ghosts in their hearts." What are you doing after watching for so long? The old man doesn't have any flowers on his face!"

Above the main hall. The officials sitting in the three Taishi chairs also had their own thoughts in their hearts, Fan Xian had expected this development, so he was not very surprised, but Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng gritted their teeth, thinking that the Quanzhou Sun family was too bold to dare to come out and make trouble at this time!

With everyone watching nervously, the results of the first round of bidding came out. Fan Xian took the quotation from the flower hall and compared the list, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It is not unreasonable for the Dark Dao Ming family to be able to pan in Jiangnan for so many years.

In Fan Xian's plan. The last four bids are the moment when they and the Ming family are desperately rushing the price, because although the amount of silver moved from the Northern Qi side is huge, but the turnover requires too long a route, after all, there is still an upper limit, and Xia Qifei won five bids in a row. A large amount of deposit money was also paid.

If he could fake the rush without limits, Xia Qifei could completely call the price empty, making the Ming family vomit blood one after another. The problem is that Fan Xian has never understood the person Ming Qingda, the nominal owner of the Ming family, it seems that it is not just as simple as the name. Fan Xian couldn't tell. If he really carried out a fake rush, would Ming Qingda ignore the eldest princess's strict order and kill him wisely!

With the silver taels currently in Fan Xian's hands, if they are used to hedge the price, they can only be sure that Ming Jiachong will be seriously injured in the second four consecutive bids.

In case the Ming family really plays a ruthless game in the third round. Let go and don't want these four consecutive standards...... Xia Qifei rushed the price too high, and there were only two possible endings. One is that he can't take out forty percent of the fixed silver, and the other is that after successfully winning the previous four-consecutive standard, he has no strength left, and he watched the Ming family effortlessly win the four-consecutive standard behind.

The second ending is not what Fan Xian wants. He had no way to control the delivery route to Dongyi City at all, so in the eyes of the Ming family, it was an indispensable four-link standard, which was a chicken rib for him. He didn't want Xia Qifei to really win this bid at all, but if he saw that the Ming family won the fourth consecutive bid in the back so easily, Fan Xian ...... I can't swallow this breath.

As for the first possibility...... If the price really exploded, under the watchful eye of Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng, under the eyes of so many people, the matter of the inner library would really have to be wasted, and Xia Qifei was afraid that there would be no way to live.

......

......

To sum up, in Fan Xian's plan in advance, the first four consecutive bids were to prepare for the Sun family in Quanzhou to come out and fire the cannon, while Xia Qifei's bid was just a false shot, and he did not intend to fight for his life.

But looking at the quotation handed over by the flower hall, Fan Xian knew that the old man of the Ming family had already guessed his arrangement, so the first round of bidding turned out to be such a terrifying amount!

The Sun family dared to make a move today because they passed on the information of the past through Shi Xianli last night.

But in the face of the Ming family's overwhelming attack, and then thinking of the Ming family's brazen dispatch to assassinate Xia Qifei last night, the fire of civil and military forces attacked each other...... Fan Xian began to bear

Heart, the Sun family may be frightened by this round of bidding and dare not raise the price again.

The development of the situation really slipped towards the situation that Fan Xian did not want to see, and when the official who sang the salute shouted the Ming family's offer of up to 3.8 million taels of silver, the whole court was in an uproar.

And the door of No. 1 B has never been opened since, and the Sun family was really frightened.

Fan Xian squinted slightly, looked at the Ming family and the two masters in room A, and began to think about whether the two of them were really as found in the investigation of the Supervision Yuan in the assassination incident last night, and they did not participate much, and the person in charge was purely the old lady Ming.

The assassination of Xia Qifei seems to be reckless, but when paired with today's ferocious offer, it can deter the Ming family from many enemies who want to take advantage of the chaos to get millet.

If Ming Qingda is really such a person who will take advantage of the situation and even use his mother, Fan Xian feels the need to re-examine the other party. As soon as the first round of quotations came out, Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng brushed their beards and smiled, but Huang Gonggong didn't have any beard under his chin, so it seemed a little funny, but at least it could be seen that the two were quite satisfied with the Ming family's shot and everyone's reaction.

Room B No. 4 was calm, and through the window lattice, Xia Qifei glanced at Fan Xian with an inquiring look.

Fan Xian sighed a little helplessly, and smoothed the flying hair on his forehead with the palms of his hands, this code means to let Xia Qifei slowly figure it out, since the Sun family withdrew. Xia Qifei must continue to bid. It's just that the proportion of this bid should be well controlled.

Not only to make the Ming family painful, but not too ruthless, but also to let the other party take over the first four consecutive standards very satisfied, lamp! fire ~ book-, the city will not suddenly give up with water in the brain, and throw these four consecutive standards to himself.

This is a very difficult situation, even if Xia Qifei has a few old household officials behind him, it is difficult to deal with it.

The salute was again on the top of the stone steps, and the same was done twice. The expected family battle between the boss of the Ming family and the seventh family did not happen, and the robbers in Room B and the fourth room completely lost their ferocity yesterday. Bid with extreme caution and care.

However, despite being cautious, the price of the first four consecutive bids has been slowly raised to a jaw-dropping level!

This is of course because the first round of bidding of the Ming family is two percent higher than last year's winning price, and the other reason is that the fourth room is entangled with each other like kraft candy.

The final bid was successful...... Sure enough, it is still the Ming family, and this result is the same as for so many years, but the land price is marked. But it has changed too much from previous years.

Five million 120,000 taels!

Everyone opened their mouths wide, listening to this price, thinking that if the bidding rules of the inner library were five rounds, they were afraid that Xia Qifei of the fourth room and Ming Qingda of the first room would raise this price to twice the price of last year!

This price is really a bit outrageous.

But Fan Xian knew that this could only show that a few years ago, Neku was under the control of the eldest princess. The price of the marketing right is a bit ridiculously low, at this price, the Ming family will not lose money, maybe there will be a lot of money - of course, this must be the Ming family still dare to do pirate business. Under Fan Xian's nose, he still dared to smuggle into Dongyi City.

So Fan smiled and was very satisfied with the result. The Ming family is waiting to throw money into this bid this year.

"A room, the Ming family, five million 120,000 taels, got!"

There has been some unenergetic officials of the Inner Treasury Transit Division, at this time, the largest bid amount for more than ten years has been reported to the Inner Library, and finally appeared to be in good spirits, and the voice of the quotation is sonorous and powerful, and the sound is loud and sound.

The merchants, regardless of their attitude towards the Ming family, also felt a trace of excitement and sang for this number.

On the contrary, there are two fathers and sons of the Ming family in room A, but there is no joy on their faces, especially Ming Qingda's eyebrows are shallow and worried.

What he thinks is the same as what Fan Xian thinks, if there is no help from some shady means, this four-link standard ...... It's a reparation.

And the most important thing is that Xia Qifei seems to have the help of a superior person to ask for a price, first, the sword book, the city, will be very well controlled, this bid is 5.12 million taels, and more than 2 million taels of silver will be left in Dingyin for a while...... What's more, the other party's real bid must be at the end.

Last night, Mingyuan raised money overnight, and the six rooms only raised a total of 600,000 taels, far less than the share of 1.35 million taels set by Ming Lao Taijun, and this four-in-a-row standard has exceeded Ming Qingda's psychological budget too much, what should I do later?

There is still half of the Taiping Money Bank's silver supply left, but no one knows what will happen next. Ming Qingda's hands gently pressed on the wooden box beside him, thoughtful.

Ming Lanshi glanced at his tired father, extremely distressed, he knew that his father didn't sleep all night last night, and went to several big money houses in Suzhou City overnight to transfer silver, until the early hours of the morning, he finally got the reassuring amount, in this box, it was the cash ticket that China Merchants Bank 100,000 yuan was urgently opened.

"You say, will Lord Qincha still want the four consecutive standards behind this?" Ming Qingda sighed tiredly.

Ming Lanshi didn't know how to speak.

Although the meals provided by the officials are not as exquisite as the food in the homes of these huge riches, these businessmen still eat with relish, and gather beside the Sun family in Quanzhou, who have a declining face, and inquire about what is going on.

People are looking forward to the afternoon, it is the final decisive battle, the morning has already opened the terrifying number of five million taels of silver, how dazzling will the afternoon be?

No one noticed that Ming Qingda walked up to the main hall in silence and came to the side hall where several big people were eating, and he didn't avoid suspicion very much, and said with a smile: "I've seen Gonggong Huang, Guo Yushi, the old man has something to say to Lord Qincha, and I also ask the two adults to make it convenient." ”

Gonggong Huang and Guo Zheng were stunned, thinking to themselves which play this is this? Could it be that the Ming family wants to fall to Fan Xian in front of themselves? But it can't be so upright and bright...... Ming Qing has long held the Ming family, and has a lot of dealings with the big officials in the DPRK, and has a majesty in his chest, Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng glanced at each other, convinced of their people, and retreated with a smile, leaving him with room to talk to Fan Xian.

......

......

There was no one in the hall, and Ming Qingda lifted his placket with some difficulty, knelt in front of Fan Xian, and did not speak.

Fan Xian held a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, looking for something delicious in the lower abdomen between the meals, and his eyes didn't glance over there, but said: "The four consecutive standards in the back, this official ...... It's still going to be grabbed. ”
