Chapter 3 Chapter 0003 Night Rain Sends North

"Uh..."

Hearing this, the retainers looked at each other.

Huwei opened the way, the officials and soldiers escorted, don't talk about such a pomp and circumstance, even if the prefect of Jiangzhou sees it, he has to appoint an order, who the hell dares to stop you.

"Yes, yes..."

Jia Ding, trembling in response.

They divided into two rows and made way for them.

Chu Lingyun commanded: "Xu Fang listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Xu Fang, kneeling on the ground.

"Take the congratulatory gift, and pray for my birthday; Others, etc., stand by and make no mistake! ”

Hearing this, Xu let go of the gift box and followed the envoy into the mansion; The Black Tiger Guard stood in the rain, ready for battle.

......

Full of friends, singing and dancing!

In the mansion, the merchants of Jiangzhou gathered together, so it was so lively that after Chu Lingyun and Xu were put in, no one stopped them and interrogated them, thinking that they were just Jianghu artists invited by Ding Min to perform from the Goolan Tile House.

And just as Chu Lingyun was looking for Ding Min, the musician on the stage stopped playing.

I saw the master of ceremonies of the birthday banquet walk up to the stage, and said with a smile: "Fellow businessmen, colleagues, the old lady's birthday banquet is about to begin, so before that, Mrs. Ding will auction her family heirloom Mobao "Night Rain to the North" at a low price to show her gratitude, if you like it, you can bid fairly. ”

After speaking, the maid walked up to the stage and opened a scroll, and the Tang Dynasty writer Liu Yuxi's "Night Rain Sending the North Map" was presented in front of everyone.

Call!

In an instant, the audience boiled.

"Mrs. Ding, this is too refreshing, isn't it?"

"Yes, this is Liu Yuxi's real handiwork!"

"Hahaha! This ink treasure, Lao Tzu is going to decide. ”

Everyone talked about it, and they all wanted to win the "Night Rain Sending North Map".

However, at this moment, someone reminded: "Wu Yuanwai, be quiet, this ink treasure is not something you and I can climb, it has already been booked!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"yes? Isn't it a fair offer, how can it be booked? ”

The crowd was filled with doubts, and they looked at the one who reminded them.

And as the person who reminded said, "Night Rain Sending the North Map" is indeed not coveted by everyone.

Because as early as the preparation stage of the birthday banquet, Ding Min made a good deployment and wanted to give "Night Rain to the North" to his concubine - Lei Gang, the son of Lei Zhen, the leader of the Jiangzhou Flying Eagle Gang, so as to show everyone that he has a backer behind him. And the so-called auction is just to pave the way for Lei Gang's appearance.

Sure enough, after learning the truth, the merchants who had wanted to seize the treasure before died down instantly.

After all, the Flying Eagle Gang is powerful and deep-rooted, and if they offended Lei Gang, they killed themselves without objection.

And just as the businessmen were discussing, Chu Lingyun's face was filled with shock; It turned out that this "Night Rain Sending North Map" was not in Ding Min's family collection, but in front of his eldest brother Chu Lingfeng.

As early as two years ago, Chu Lingfeng wrote to Chu Lingyun, saying that he read Chu Lingyun and liked calligraphy and painting since he was a child, so when he went to Chang'an, he bought Liu Yuxi's ink treasure from the big collector, hoping to wait for Chu Lingyun to return to his hometown as a congratulatory gift to receive him.

'The things in front of the eldest brother should be in the hands of the sister-in-law, right? ’

'How now...'

'Also, sister-in-law, she..."

Seeing things and thinking about people, Chu Lingyun secretly thought, and suddenly thought of his brother's wife Yao Mulan.

Who is Yao Mulan?

She is the queen of the Yao clan of the Lin'an Hao clan. Eight years ago, when Chu Lingfeng escorted to Lin'an, the two fell in love at first sight, and in order to be with Chu Lingfeng, she even did not hesitate to be expelled from the house.

Originally, everyone thought that she was just a temporary pleasure with Chu Lingfeng, and she would return to Lin'an soon. However, what people didn't expect was that after coming to the Chu family, not only did she not complain, but treated Chu's father and younger brother very well; So much so that Chu Lingyun still remembers that when she went to Beijing to catch the exam, she was trapped in Hongzhou because she was not entangled enough, and she did not hesitate to sell the bracelet to fund herself after she knew it, and her care for herself can be said to be no weaker than that of her brother.

And now that my brother has died tragically, and my sister-in-law's whereabouts are unknown, how can this not make Chu Lingyun sigh?

Of course, shhh

And just as he was sighing, the master of ceremonies said loudly: ""Night Rain Sends the North Map", the reserve price, 100,000 copper coins, now start shooting." ”

"200,000!"

As soon as the emcee's voice fell, someone shouted out 200,000.

"500,000!"

"800,000!"

"1 million!"

After several rounds of bidding, the price soared to one million.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that these bidders are actually trusting and are here to pave the way for Lei Gang's appearance.

Sure enough, just as the master of ceremonies dropped the hammer, a thin man dressed in mink fleece and stabbing a flying eagle in his hand on the VIP seat suddenly stood up and said, "Silver, 100,000 taels!" ”

The words are soft, but they are extremely arrogant, and they cause an instant commotion.

"Lei Gongzi deserves to be the leader of Jiangzhou, heroic!"

"It's amazing, just shout 100,000 taels!"

"Humph! The young gang leader has made a move, I see who dares to shout! ”

Everyone praised it, and their eyes were focused on Lei Gang.

And Lei Gang came to the birthday banquet today, on the one hand, to seize "Night Rain Sending North Map"; On the other hand, they want to take advantage of Ding Min's field to establish their authority and virtue in front of everyone in Jiangzhou.

Apparently, he did!

And, beautifully done!

"One hundred thousand taels for the first time!"

"One hundred thousand taels for the second time!"

"Anyone else offered? If you don't have it, this priceless ink treasure will have to belong to Lei Gongzi! ”

"Are you sure there's no one?"

The master of ceremonies asked, licking his face.

No one dared to quote anymore, and they all looked at Lei Gang.

Lei Gang thanked him, showed his robe, and walked to the stage, as if he was in the first place, and the spring breeze was proud.

However, just as Lei first took the stage, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the silent venue...

"One hundred thousand taels, gold!"

When a word came out, the audience was dumbfounded.

The "......" master of ceremonies was dumbfounded.

"......" guests, unbelievable.

"......" Lei Gang, standing on the spot.

100,000 taels of gold?

How is this possible?

You must know that although "Night Rain Sends the North Map" is worth a lot of money, why is it not worth 100,000 taels of gold? And anyone with a discerning eye knows that the auction is just a formality, and letting Lei Gang stand up is Mrs. Ding's real purpose.

But now someone is openly calling Ban Lei Gang, and he is so arrogant, this is deliberately provoking trouble!

After the uproar, everyone looked for prestige, and saw a man with hair slowly standing up in the corner of the venue...

He was dressed plainly, and he only showed half of his face.

However, in the cold eyes, there was a sense of loneliness.

It can be said: independent and mysterious!

"Who is this?"

The crowd whispered.

Lei Gang frowned.

You must know that he has seen all the characters in Jiangzhou who have a little identity, but he has no impression of the person in front of him.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold? Are you sure? Lei Gang asked proudly, and looked at the half of the person.

"Of course!" The half-faced man spit out two words, cutting it out categorically, as if he was going to decide on this "Night Rain Sending North Map" today.

"This..."Hearing this, everyone was suspicious.

Lei Gang chewed his tongue and looked at the half of the person, and secretly thought in his heart: "Although he dares to offer, he doesn't look like a rich kid in this dress." If you guess correctly, you must be young and vigorous and want to be in the limelight. ’

Yes, as Lei Gang thought, he "saw through" the half of the people, thinking that the half of the people wanted to be in the limelight, so he came up with a plan.

"Huh!"

With a leisurely sound, Lei Gang walked towards the half-faced person with his hands behind his back and said, "Boy, it's not difficult to speak wildly, but the difficult thing is to be able to come up with real money!" I don't remember that the villain has given you a chance, as long as you kneel down to me to apologize, Lei will spare you from dying today. ”

Call!

As soon as he said this, the audience was in an uproar.

"That's right, he doesn't have any money!"

"One hundred thousand taels of gold, what are you kidding!"

"Boy, hurry up and kneel down to apologize, if you anger Lei Gongzi, there will be no good fruit to eat."

Everyone reprimanded one after another, and they didn't have the slightest kindness to the half-faced person, and they all thought that he was deliberately provocative. Lei Gang smiled sneeringly, thinking, if you look for death yourself, then it's no wonder to me.

However, in the face of such heavy pressure, the half-faced person was not only not afraid, but walked towards Lei Gang with a relaxed face.

"Kneel!" Lei Gang said.

thinks that the person with the other half is bluffed by himself, and he wants to take the initiative to kneel.

"Get on your knees!"

"Get on your knees!"

Everyone also shouted after Lei Gang.

But just when everyone thought that the half-faced person would be restrained, he took out a card from his arms and gently put it in Lei Gang's hand.

"Have you seen enough?"

With a cold voice, without waiting for Lei Gang to respond, he walked to the ceremony.

"This..."

"Impossible, impossible..."

Lei Gang muttered, trembling all over.

"Childe, what's wrong?"

The bodyguards of the Lei family stepped forward and asked, they had never seen the young master so flustered.

"Ahh

Before Lei Gang could reply, the bodyguard also let out a stunned sigh.

And the reason why they behaved like this was not for anything else, but because what Lei Gang was holding in his hand was a gold sticker with a gold bottom and a dragon as the shape.

And when everyone saw that Lei Gang and the bodyguard were silent, they wanted to come forward and ask what was going on.

However, before he could speak, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's... This..."

"This is the Dragon Gold Sticker!"

Looking at the gold sticker, everyone let out a sigh of astonishment.

You must know that this dragon gold sticker is a gift from the imperial court.

Those who get the rumors are all princes and nobles; In this way, isn't the person in front of you...
