Chapter 67 The Four Great Families of Yunnan
Night falls!
Unexpectedly, the originally deserted medicinal herb market unconsciously increased the number of people.
By the time Angen had dinner and arrived, the market was already bustling, much to his surprise.
How come there are more people at night than during the day?
This made him wonder if he had made a mistake and had come to Supper City.
The medicinal herb market, located in the suburbs of the county, is a remote place, in addition to buying and selling medicinal materials, ordinary people will not come here, and it is also daytime, ordinary people have indeed rarely seen the scenery here at night.
Shops on both sides of the market are closed, and the roads are full of stalls.
At a glance, there are those who sell medicinal herbs, some sell antiques, and some sell antiques and strange stones, and all kinds of things are dazzling.
"Boss Ye!"
An Gen found Ye Jun and said with a sigh of relief: "I thought I had made a mistake!" What's going on? ”
"It's a ghost city!"
Ghost City?
Angen was stunned! After all, he had just been running a sports car for a long time, and he had been living in Guziwo before, and he really didn't know about the ghost market. If it's his brother-in-law, it's clear.
"It's a scientific society now, and the gods and men in our village are not allowed to treat people, this is a ghost market, can't it be illegal?" Angen is an honest man, and he doesn't know what the ghost market is for, but he always feels that it is not a good name, and he is a little worried.
"It's just a special night market!"
Ye Jun smiled faintly.
According to Qiu Litian, the ghost market here has a long history, at least for hundreds of years.
At that time, during the war, there was chaos everywhere, and I didn't dare to take out any good things. can only trade in secret, and slowly a ghost market is formed.
Later, the society was stable, and the customs of the ghost market were also preserved, and they opened on the third, sixth, and ninth days of the lunar calendar. Today happens to be the ninth day of the new year.
A lot of people will trade things that don't usually see the light of day. Among them, antiques are the majority, after all, antiques pay attention to picking up leaks and eye-catching. It's so dark, it really depends on the strength of your eyes.
The things here, regardless of the origin, do not care about the after-sales. Picking up leaks is eyesight, and don't blame it.
Here, you can see the treasures that Tufuzi has just dug up everywhere, and you can also find some strange things, guns, explosives are ordinary gadgets. Rare medicinal herbs such as rhino horn, tiger bones, and pangolins that are not allowed to be traded outside can be found everywhere.
No, Ye Jun saw a Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey in the corner at a glance, being put in front of a stall with a collar, attracting customers. The little guy was not afraid, and squatted on a stool to refuse the fruit offered by the people around him. Here, as long as you can afford it, no matter what kind of game, protect animals, and even pandas, tigers, and elephants can get you it.
It is located on the border, and many special things from abroad flow into the domestic market through here.
It was here that Qiu Litian got the jade cicada containing the corpse puppet worm.
It has to be said that western Yunnan is indeed rich in resources. After shopping for a while, Ye Jun saw a lot of good things that were rare in the eyes of the world. It's a pity that there are very few things that contain aura. Like rhinoceros horn, if it wasn't one of the materials of the tracking array, he wouldn't be able to look down on it.
While buying rhino horn, a young man next to him took a fancy to the tiger whip wine and was bargaining with the stall owner.
Ye Jun took a look, knocked on it, this person was the owner of the yellow essence shopkeeper during the day, but at this time, he was wearing a mask of Zhu Bajie, and he was secretive, how could he be full of Ye Jun's eyes? But he didn't debunk it, and people wearing masks definitely didn't want to be recognized.
Only an honest person like Angen would smile and come forward to say hello.
Although the other party couldn't see the expression with a mask, his laughter was a little embarrassed, and he said, "Coincidentally! How did you recognize me? ”
"You haven't changed your clothes!" Angen is an honest man.
Belch......
Usually, there are no customers in the store for ten days and half a month, so I am used to it.
"My surname is Tao, and my friends call me Brother Ermu!" Tao Lin introduced himself, saw the yellow essence and rhino horn that Ye Jun was carrying, and said with a smile: "One-horned rhinoceros, this is a good thing, it's rare now." I don't think Boss Ye is a local, but he is very familiar with the ghost market? I'm here for tonight's herb auction! ”
Tao Lin could see at a glance that Ye Jun did not look like an ordinary person, and he knew the rules very well, and he said very little. Unlike Angen, at first glance, he is a big old man who doesn't understand anything, and he is stupid.
"Medicinal herb auction?" Ye Jun was slightly stunned, but nodded quietly, and said, "I was also introduced by a friend, and I was a little confused when I first came, so I asked Boss Tao for guidance." ”
"You wait first!" Tao Lin turned around and paid the money, and held the jar containing the tiger whip wine in his arms.
Ye Jun said with a smile: "Tiger whip wine is indeed a good thing, but the yang energy is too strong, the yang deficiency of the elderly can be replenished, and the young people are already strong in yang energy, and it is easy to make up for it, resulting in a loss of semen." If you add Ganoderma lucidum, fritillary, Polygonatum polygonatum, Astragalus, wolfberry, and American ginseng, it can neutralize the positive and achieve a nourishing and stable effect. ”
"Boss Ye understands medical skills?" Tao Lin's eyes lit up slightly, and then he hurriedly explained: "This wine was bought for the old people in the family to cure rheumatism ......."
Ye Jun smiled slightly, and did not debunk it.
If this is an honest person like An Gen, I am afraid that I will have to ask again: Shouldn't tiger bone wine be used to dispel rheumatism, how to buy tiger whip?
"If Boss Ye is fine, you can take a stroll here first, the medicinal herb auction, I will wait until ten o'clock in the evening, I will go and put this jar back first, and then come to you!"
Tao Lin felt that Ye Jun was very pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't help but get a lot closer. For Ye Jun's prescription, he didn't doubt it, who didn't know how to buy and sell medicinal materials? I'm going to go back and try it.
The night market is not huge, and an hour is enough to visit. Therefore, the night market is usually not open for a long time, from 8 to 10 o'clock in the evening, there are enough people in need to do business.
Ye Jun wandered all the way, basically sightseeing, he didn't like ordinary things at all, and finally bought a few pieces of jade wool.
Yunnan jade, but it has long been dug up, and the current jadeite is basically imported from several countries in Annam.
These pieces of rough stones have no windows, and no one can see through them, but Ye Jun can see that these pieces of material are not bad, although they are not big, but they are all ice species. The price is also not high. Take it casually, whether it is used to make jade talismans, or send it back to Ye Mingyun to make jewelry, you can do it.
By ten o'clock, most of the tourists in the night market had left, and most of the stall owners had closed their stalls, leaving only some strange things.
Tao Lin changed his clothes, but he still wore the mask of Zhu Bajie.
"Boss Ye, I've been waiting for a long time. The medicinal herb auction is about to start, let's go over! ”
As he spoke, he took out two more masks and explained: "The auction in the ghost market is mixed with people's eyes, and maybe it will be targeted." Although this kind of thing is rare in a society governed by the rule of law, there is nothing wrong with being careful. With your gadgets, no one will recognize anyone, and you don't have to be afraid of offending people when you ask for a price! ”
Ye Jun smiled slightly. I have to say that there is indeed a reason why this ghost city can exist for hundreds of years. Although he doesn't care if he offends people, more is better than less, and it's always right to follow people's rules.
Two masks, one Monkey King, one Sand Monk.
An Gen took a fancy to Monk Sha at a glance, and his rough atmosphere looked very similar to himself.
The three of them put on masks, looked at each other and smiled, and in the blink of an eye, they became a trio of scripture learning, and they were just a master.
The auction of medicinal materials was in the innermost part of the medicinal materials market, and along the way, Ye Jun saw that there were many stall owners who had originally set up stalls, and they also collected their stalls at this time, carrying things and going in one direction with them. One of them also had a golden snub-nosed monkey squatting on his shoulder.
"Boss Ye, don't look at these people as stalls, but they are all worth a lot of money, at least tens of millions, hundreds of millions are ordinary. If it weren't for today's auction, I wouldn't have come up with so many good things at all! ”
How can someone who can get so many prohibited items be an ordinary person. These people smuggle rare animals and plants, and they can earn millions of dollars with a single trip.
In the deepest part of the medicinal herb market, in front of a huge warehouse, there was a circle of security guards dressed in black.
"Are there any invitations? If you don't have an invitation, please go over there for capital verification. ”
"A net worth of at least 10 million is required here to be eligible to enter."
Tao Lin took out a black invitation with gold edges, and turned his head to look at Ye Jun, he could bring Ye Jun here, but whether he could go in or not depended on Ye Jun's ability. If he couldn't even meet the qualifications to go in, he wouldn't be able to make this friend.
Ye Jun took out a card casually and threw it to the other party.
The capital inspector took a look at it, took a number plate, and sent it back with a bank card.
Under the mask, Tao Lin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he recognized the bank card in Ye Jun's hand at a glance as he was doing business. This kind of high-level card, he had only seen it in the hands of a boss with a net worth of billions before.
To apply for this kind of card, you must have at least a net worth of more than one billion, and you need not only money, but also identity.
Unexpectedly, Ye Jun was so young, he was extremely rich and had an extraordinary identity. Either the descendants of a large family, or the son of a wealthy man.
"Boss Ye is really young and promising!" Tao Lin sighed, with a little envy in his tone.
In fact, Ye Jun really doesn't know much about what he said about this, this card was given to him by Chu Qiao, and he can brush it casually, and even as long as he wants, he can brush up the assets of the entire imperial city. In Chu Qiao's words, the imperial city is Ye Jun's imperial city.
"The entourage can go to the hall next to it and wait, there will be a special waiter to entertain you!" Seeing that An Gen was at a loss, the other party spoke.
Those who came here were all rich and noble, and many of them brought drivers, bodyguards, and entourage. These people are not allowed to enter the auction, otherwise the auction will already be overcrowded and will not be able to squeeze in at all. The organizers have specially arranged a place to entertain these people.
Ye Jun asked An Gen to have a cup of tea and wait for him to come out. It looks like an ordinary warehouse on the outside, but inside it is a unique cave.
As soon as you enter it, the lights and cool air come to your face.
I was about to go in.
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind him.
Outside the door, a black Rolls-Royce drove slowly, surrounded by a group of bodyguards trotting.
Cars are not allowed here, but this one can, not only because of Rolls-Royce, but also because of the extraordinary status of its owner.
Sure enough, the security guard of the auction saw the license plate, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly withdrew, blocked, and let the car in, without even checking it, and even the bodyguards trotted in with him.
"Shhh...... Isn't this the old man's car? ”
When Tao Lin saw this car, he immediately gasped and said in surprise: "Why is this big guy here too?" ”
He knew that Ye Jun was a foreigner, so he explained: "Old Man Mu is the head of Mu Mansion. Do you know Mufu? is the one played on TV, which has been in our Yunnan for hundreds of years, and has always been the top family. Although there were also people from Mu Mansion in the previous auctions, at most they sent a steward over, why did Old Man Mu come in person this time? Could it be that there is really something going on? ”
Tao Lin guessed in his heart, but what changes would be made in the auction was not something that a small character like him could access.
It can be seen that the Rolls-Royce drove to the end of the warehouse, and in an instant, the car door opened, and a young woman in a suit, looking twenty-five or sixteen, stepped on high heels and got out of the car.
This woman is tall, at least 1.75 meters, and with high heels, she is close to 1.85 meters, which is much taller than the bodyguards around her. The handsome face is not powdered, and the skin is as fair as jade, and under the light, it is like a pearl, which instantly attracts all the attention.
"It's her! Miss Kifu! I said, how could Old Man Mu come to the auction in person. ”
"Who doesn't know that Miss Mu is the successor of Mu Lao, and now she is riding in Mu Lao's car, which is clearly coming on behalf of Mu Lao, and there is no difference between being present with Mu Lao Ren himself."
"Miss Mu is worthy of being one of the four famous pearls in Yunnan, and she is just good-looking!"
"You see that you are uneducated, what is the adjective of good looks? That's called sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers! ”
"You're right, it's pretty!"
"It doesn't matter if people are beautiful, there is money. I don't know who can marry this pearl. That's Mufu! ”
Everyone whispered and discussed, and many people looked at Mu Lanxue with enthusiastic eyes, who doesn't want to be the fast son-in-law of Mu Mansion? You can stop fighting for eight lifetimes. But seeing Mu Lanxue's fierce gaze sweeping over, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look directly at him.
Mu Lanxue glanced at everyone indifferently, and the discussion behind her stopped abruptly. She didn't know how much she had listened to this kind of discussion, and she didn't pay attention to it at all. Immediately, he took a female assistant in her early twenties to the box on the second floor, and naturally it was impossible to crowd into the hall to participate in the auction like ordinary people.
"Made, this girl's momentum is too much, her gaze swept over like a knife, I don't dare to breathe, I really don't know what kind of man can subdue her!" Tao Lin said with palpitations.
"It's really not something that ordinary people can withstand!" Ye Jun's eyes narrowed slightly. Ordinary people can't see it, but Ye Jun can see at a glance that this Mu Lanxue is a martial artist, and his cultivation is not weak, so it is estimated that he is not far behind Bai Qianhe.
You must know that Pei Wufu became a martial artist in his thirties, even if he was a young leader. This Mu Lanxue is estimated to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he is already a martial artist's internal strength, which shows that his talent is also the top among martial artists. This kind of person, even if he is not the eldest lady of Mufu and does not have hundreds of millions of family fortunes, he definitely does not look down on ordinary people.
"Boss Ye, I think you can. You are not much different in age and definitely have a common language. Tao Linhu said meaningfully, "Moreover, Boss Ye's family background is definitely not weak!" ”
Ye Jun smiled faintly and did not answer.
Mu Lanxue is a Tianjiao in the eyes of others, but in his eyes, neither wealth nor talent is worth mentioning.
Seeing Ye Jun's attitude, Tao Lin was shocked in his heart, he couldn't even look down on a Yunnan pearl like Mu Lanxue? I became more and more curious about Ye Jun's identity and background.
He was thinking about it, when suddenly a cold snort sounded in his ears:
"Where did the hillbilly buns come from, and they dare to be delusional, and the toad wants to eat swan meat!"
But it was the two people who had just walked in who listened to Tao Lin's words and opened their mouths to scold.
The two men did not wear masks. In this place, those who don't wear masks are either stunned, or they have absolute confidence in their own strength background.
The young man, in his thirties, looked very disdainful. Beside him, there was a little old man in a long shirt with a goatee.
"It's your business!"
Tao Lin said unhappily: "You care about the sky and the air, and what does Lao Tzu say?" ”
"I'm Wu Weixiong of Pingxi Group, you dare to talk to me like that?" The young man was furious.
"Why is it so familiar?" Someone next to him asked in a low voice.
"The Wu family in southern Yunnan!" Someone reminded, "It is said that it is the descendant of Wu Sangui!" ”
Dali Duan's family, the descendants of Mu Wangfu, Mufu, and the Wu family in southern Yunnan are known as the four major families in Yunnan. Inherited for hundreds of years, the heritage is profound. It's not the businessmen who have risen in the past few decades, and the nouveau riche can compare.
Ordinary businessmen, even if they are worth tens of billions, may not be able to know a martial artist.
But these families have their own family roots and ancient inheritances.
"Wasn't Wu Sangui destroyed by Kang Mazi?" Some people who watch historical dramas are puzzled.
"How can that kind of character rebel without leaving a backhand? He has long left his bloodline, changed his name, and has been living in seclusion in a place called Majiazhai until after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and did not change his surname back to Wu. ”
"It is said that the Wu family has always wanted to find other families to marry. It's a pity that the Dali Duan clan doesn't look down on them, and Mu Wangfu treats them as enemies. Only the Mu family remains. But Old Man Mu felt sorry for this granddaughter, and was reluctant to marry her, so he was designated as his successor. I'm afraid that the Wu family also has the idea of taking advantage of the opportunity of marriage to even laugh at all the wealth of others. ”
"But Old Man Mu is old and sophisticated, how could he not see through the ulterior motives of the Wu family, so this Wu Weixiong did not agree to propose marriage several times. No, this guy probably heard that Miss Mu was here, so he chased after him! ”
A person familiar with the inside story explained.
Those who can come to participate in the auction are all capable people, especially some who are on the edge of black and white, and they are well-informed, and Yunnan has no secrets to hide from them.
No wonder Wu Weixiong is so angry, he has been proposing to Mu Fu, but Old Man Mu doesn't look down on him at all. This made him very unwilling. Now I heard Tao Lin say that Ye Jun and Mu Lanxue are as good as each other, even if it is just a joke, it makes him very unhappy.
In fact, when he heard others say the identity of the other party, Tao Lin was a little panicked. Whether it is the Wu family in southern Yunnan or the Pingxi group, he can't afford to mess with.
However, if you lose, you don't lose, anyway, with a mask, you won't recognize who I am, I'm afraid of a bird!
"Very good, boy, it's the first time I've met someone who dares to talk to me like that! You have a kind, you have the guts! I hope that when you go out, you can still be so hard-mouthed! Wu Weixiong threatened.
As for the identities of Tao Lin and Ye Jun, he didn't care about it at all.
In the whole of Yunnan, there are only a few people he can't afford to offend.
Ye Jun and Tao Lin wore masks to hide when they participated in an auction, and they were definitely not children of a big family.
This kind of person, put outside, he would have already asked the bodyguard to break his leg to teach him a lesson, how could Tao Lin have a second chance to taunt?
But here are the rules here, even if he is a child of the Wu family, he can't do too much. Even bodyguards can't be brought in.
From this point, you can see the gap between him and Mu Lanxue.
Mu Lanxue is riding in the old man's car, which represents the will of the old man. But Wu Weixiong is not even a descendant of the Wu family, although his father has excellent business acumen and founded the Pingxi Group of tens of billions, but he cannot become the successor of the Wu family, and he cannot represent the Wu family.
"Young master, what kind of identity do you have, you don't need to be angry with such a small character." At this time, the man in the long shirt beside Wu Weixiong finally spoke, and said coldly: "What kind of thing, dare to talk to my young master like this?" Do you want to die? ”
After that, the man in the long shirt snorted coldly, stepped forward, and stomped lightly on the ground with his right foot!
"Are you the master of the mountain? Stomping your feet and shaking the mountains on the spot? Tao Lin scoffed.
Before he finished speaking, he felt his body slightly lighter, and somehow he was pulled behind Ye Jun.
Where he had been standing, a faint black gas came out, extremely thin and almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
The man in the long shirt took advantage of the cover of the land to launch a sneak attack, in this black gas, poisonous gas, corpse gas, death gas and all kinds of harmful gases are mixed, if ordinary people are contaminated, even if they don't lose half their lives, they will be seriously ill. It is not impossible for a weak person to lose his life.
After missing the blow, the man in the long shirt looked startled, and his gaze at Tao Lin became a little suspicious.
Just now, he was obviously sure of the hit, and he definitely didn't expose the slightest abnormality, why did the other party suddenly retreat?
Is it a coincidence? Or is this person hidden?
The more thoughtful the person, the more thoughts and the more doubts there are.
"Master Hu, what's wrong?" Wu Weixiong was a little strange, he knew that Master Hu had made a move, because at the beginning, when Master Hu was invited by his father to protect him, he looked down on this thin old man for the first time, but he could deal with stomping his feet, and his bodyguard fell.
Why, there was no movement at all this time? He wondered if Master Hu had a numb foot just now? Didn't you make a move?
"Wu Shao, this person is not simple. I'm afraid it's pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. I can deal with him though. But after all, this is in public, and if there is a fight, I am afraid that it will hurt you. Moreover, the people behind this auction are not simple, and the boss has told them to keep a low profile when they come, so I suggest that after the auction is over, inquire about the origin of the deal, and then make a decision! ”
Wu Weixiong also fell into hesitation for a while.
After all, in front of so many people, it is a loss of face. But although he is a fool, he is not a fool.
On the other side, Tao Lin still looked a little dazed, he didn't understand why he was standing in front of Ye Jun and suddenly appeared behind Ye Jun. Moreover, Wu Weixiong, who was arrogant just now, stopped talking.
Could it be that you were frightened by your righteous and awe-inspiring momentum?
I'm afraid of an egg, Made, what's wrong with the Wu family in southern Yunnan? Scold you a few words, Lao Tzu turned around and took off his mask, changed his clothes, who can know that it is me?
Thinking of this, Tao Lin laughed more and more proudly and calmly.
Seeing that his expression was calm and not fake, Master Hu felt more and more that his guess was right. This guy must be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, otherwise ordinary people would have been scared to their knees when they heard the name of the Wu family in southern Yunnan. This guy is not only not afraid, but also dares to provoke, obviously deliberately looking for trouble.
Young man, if you want to calculate the old man, you are still a little tender.
Master Hu smiled proudly in his heart, and whispered in Wu Weixiong's ear: "Young Master, don't forget what the purpose of our visit is. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan! ”
"Made...... Good luck! Wu Weixiong glared at Tao Lin fiercely.
Everyone didn't expect that Wu Weixiong would endure it like this!
No way!
The crowd was in an uproar.
Didn't you say that this Wu Dashao is a gentleman, and he will repay him?
It doesn't feel like the rumors!
Even if it's not a squirrel, how can you bear it if you are slapped in the face by someone?
"I guess I don't want to offend the owner of the auction!" Someone explained.
Everyone agreed.
Everyone knows that the owner of the auction has a mysterious background, and it is said that his identity background is no longer under the four major families! Some people also say that it is actually one of the four major families.
In the past, this was just hearsay. But now it is at least certain that even if the people of the four major families are here, they will not dare to make trouble.
At this time, in the box on the second floor of the auction, the little assistant looked surprised and happy, and told Mu Lanxue about the conflict just downstairs.
"That guy dared to offend Wu Weixiong, it's really bold." This little assistant has seen it with his own eyes, when a senior professional manager confessed to Mu Lanxue, he was broken by Wu Weixiong and thrown out of Yunnan. If he hadn't been rescued by a passing car, he would have died a long time ago.
"Wu Weixiong can actually endure it? Looks like his father told him something! ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Mu Lanxue's eyes, and she said lightly: "When the auction is over, use my car to send those two people away!" Don't be targeted by Wu Weixiong. ”
In the past few years, Wu Weixiong has been pestering her, and she has long been tired of her.
Now that someone can make Wu Weixiong deflated, she doesn't mind helping out!
After giving the order, Mu Lanxue leaned on the soft sofa and closed her eyes to recuperate.
Soon, the auction began!
