Chapter 19: The Quest for Treasure
"The kid is late for some things, and I hope you will forgive your sins!"
A sturdy young man in Mai walked out of the crowd and saluted to the few people sitting present, so disrespectful.
The four nobles nodded, it's late, this attitude is still okay.
"What treasures did you bring with you, so that you led me and others here." The middle-aged fat man who didn't speak among the four just now asked lightly.
"If you can't get any treasures, don't blame me for waiting!" Liu Yuanwai's voice was slightly cold, and he was a little dissatisfied with the young man's belated arrival.
He wanted to see what treasures this man had in such shabby clothes.
The other two didn't speak, and the middle-aged fat man and Liu Yuanwai had already finished what they wanted to say.
"I will not let you down!"
The young man smiled confidently, unwrapped his body, and took out the folding realm from it.
"Look, everybody!"
Tossing the package aside, the young man held the mirror in both hands and showed it around.
The eyes of the surrounding onlookers and nobles fell on the folding realm, and nothing strange appeared in their eyes.
Just a black board, I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
"This is what you call a strange treasure?" The young man among the nobles asked lightly, a hint of displeasure between his eyebrows.
"Exactly! This is a mirror of the heart! The young man replied in a loud voice.
"It's a chalkboard, where is the mirror? We've never seen a mirror like this. In the crowd of onlookers, an elderly man questioned.
"yes, yes, it's nothing!"
"I've come all the way to the loss, that's all there is to it."
"Cut! Boring. β
Many chimed in.
Dissatisfied with this young man's baby, some of them turned away and left.
Seeing this, the young man did not panic, his face remained unchanged, and he still stood in place, confidently holding his so-called Mingxin Mirror.
The nobles sitting on the Taishi's chair saw the expression of the young man in Mai, but they became interested, and they were not in a hurry, just waiting for him to explain the mystery.
After a while, the young man's eyes rolled and he looked around.
After knowing that most of the people were still there, I was relieved.
"Please look again!" The young man's voice was raised and he opened the folding realm in his hand.
At that moment, the people opposite the young man widened their eyes at the same time, including the four nobles.
"This treasure is called the Mingxin Mirror, it deserves its name, there is a way that is born from the heart, and if you see your facial features clearly, you can see your heart clearly."
When the young man saw that everyone was attracted, he immediately flickered.
"Oops! It's a good baby, a good baby! β
Liu Yuanwai approached the folding realm held by the young man in his hand, and looked at his face in the mirror, his mouth was full of surprise.
Seeing the magic of the mirror, Liu Yuanwai, who was still angry just now, was suddenly in a good mood, and he stepped forward to reach out and touch it.
Before he could touch it, the young man took a step back and let him catch it.
"Sir, please wait a moment while I explain the origin of this thing." The young man smiled.
didn't get what he wanted, and Liu Yuanwai didn't get angry, turned around and sat back on his Taishi chair.
Seeing the noble man returning to the table, the young man nodded to everyone present and continued: "The Mingxin Mirror was discovered by accident after I woke up in the middle of the night.
At that time, a meteorite fell from the sky and smashed into the mountains behind our village.
Out of curiosity, I went up the mountain after dawn to look for it, and I saw a meteorite shining with this treasure wrapped in it.
I took it out and the meteorite immediately lost its luster.
I think this light is coming from it. β
The young man made up a plausible story and fooled around.
The onlookers were envious, why didn't they encounter such a good thing.
"Today, due to family reasons, life is not good, so I have to sell this treasure here, the starting price, one thousand taels!" The youth suddenly announced the start of the bidding.
Hearing that it was a thousand taels of shots, many people present gasped.
They will not be able to earn these silver taels in their lifetime.
The really rich master has a pale complexion, and there is no wave in the ancient well.
Unlike ordinary people.
"Fifteen hundred taels!" The young boy bids first.
"One thousand six hundred taels!" The middle-aged fat man also made a bid.
"Two thousand taels!" The middle-aged thin man directly raised the price to two thousand taels.
The crowd of onlookers was amazed.
I was surprised that this thing cost 1,000 taels to start shooting.
What's even more surprising is that these old men are actually bidding at high prices!
"Two thousand one hundred taels! I also hope that Zhang Yuanwai will give face, I really like this treasure. After Liu Yuan's outprice, he said to the middle-aged thin man with a smile.
"Old Liu, this rare treasure is naturally something that everyone wants, even if I let you, Brother Huang and Liu Gongzi must not want to give up, hahahaha."
Zhang Yuanwai snorted and didn't give in.
When Liu Yuanwai heard this answer, his face was not very good-looking.
looked at his nephew and Huang Yuanwai again, and he was in a worse mood.
"Two thousand five hundred taels!" Liu Gongzi's shouting sounded again.
"Two thousand eight hundred taels!" Zhang Yuanwai pressed over.
"Three thousand...... Three thousand taels! Liu Yuanwai gritted his teeth and shouted out his limit price.
But before he could take two breaths, a number that made him desperate appeared: "Four thousand taels!" β
This sound of four thousand taels was exactly what the rich yellow member shouted.
For this treasure, it is imperative.
As a businessman who walks the mall all year round, he knows it very well.
The value of the mirror is far from being measured by a few thousand taels.
In the territory of Thang Long Kingdom, he has never seen such a treasure so far.
"Oh my God! Four thousand taels! An exclamation from the crowd rang into everyone's ears.
Huang Yuanwai was quite satisfied with this exclamation, and put his hands and ten fingers crossed on his big belly, as if the old god was there.
"Humph!" Liu Yuanwai glanced at the fat man Huang fiercely, patted the Taishi chair, and said no more.
"Four thousand taels, is there a higher price?" The young man said to the four of them in a loud voice.
After a long while, no one answered, no one raised the price.
"I'll count three times, no one will increase the price, and the Mingxin Mirror will belong to Master Huang!" The young man slowed down a few moments, trying to lure the other three to raise the price again.
"Four thousand taels once! Four thousand two two! "The countdown to youth begins.
"Four thousand five hundred taels!" The son of the Liu family still couldn't hold back, and added five hundred taels to it.
Hearing Liu Gongzi's price increase, the young man was overjoyed.
Another few hundred taels into the account!
"Good! Liu Gongzi bid four thousand five hundred taels, is there anyone higher? Four thousand five hundred and twenty-one ......" The young man was now extremely excited, and the voice in his mouth became louder and louder.
Huang Yuanwai saw that Liu Gongzi had increased the price, and he didn't care.
If your lips move, you have to add more.
But before he could speak, a neutral voice appeared, interrupting his bid.
"Five thousand taels!"
A middle-aged short-bearded man in a black robe walked out with a voice, followed by several officials with knives.
Everyone present looked at the man who shouted the sky-high price.
Seeing the man's face clearly, everyone was refreshed.
Only the young man was still ecstatic in his heart, thinking that someone had sent him money again.
"The grass people see the county lord!"
"I've seen Lord Bai!"
"Brother Bai is polite!"
Different voices of salutes came and went, and all the people present knelt down and saluted.
The four nobles sitting on the Taishi's chair also hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Grass folk Zhong Yuanxiu visits the county lord!"
When the young man saw this scene, he realized that he didn't know what kind of character this was, so he quickly kneeled down and saluted like the people.
In the original world, not only can the officials not kneel, but even if they ignore it, nothing will happen.
But in today's society, it is a great crime of disrespect to see an official who does not kneel.
If you don't do it, you will be arrested and put in prison for a year and a half.
"Excuse me, all of you, get up!" Bai Xian Ling said lightly.
Then the people who were on their knees stood up.
Ordinary people don't dare to look at Bai County's order, after all, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, but they don't want to touch the mold of the county lord.
The young man also stood up with a mirror.
He took a few steps back, keeping a certain distance from the Governor of a county.
Bai Xian Ling nodded when he saw the young man's movements.
Then he exchanged pleasantries with the four foreign sons present.
"Can the four of you give Bai a certain face?" Bai Xianling looked at the four of them with a smile and asked.
"Even if Brother Bai has taken a fancy to this treasure, I don't dare to fight for it anymore." Zhang Yuanwai said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, if Mingxin Mirror stays in Lord Bai's mansion, it won't be considered to bury it!" Liu Yuanwai also chimed in.
Zhang and Liu have already expressed their positions, but only Huang Fatzi and the son of the Liu family are still hesitant.
Bai Xian Ling moved his gaze to them.
The two of them felt that Bai Xianling was watching them, and Liu Gongzi among them suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and there was a feeling like falling into an ice cellar.
After a few breaths, he couldn't hold on, and hurriedly said, "Lord County, I give up." β
The moment Liu Gongzi gave up, the pressure on his body suddenly decreased a lot.
In the end, a single yellow fat man endured it alone.
"Brother Bai, Huang doesn't dare!" The yellow fat man said a little unwillingly.
"That's great!" Bai Xianling stretched out his hand and patted the yellow fat man's shoulder.
"Little brother, pass the mirror to me, I didn't see it clearly in the crowd just now." Bai Xian Ling said to the young man with a smile.
Hearing this, he didn't dare to slack off, and the young man hurriedly stepped forward.
Stretching out his hand, he bent down and lowered his head, and handed the Mingxin Mirror to Bai Xianling.
Taking the mirror, Bai Xian Ling opened it and aimed it at his face.
I saw a middle-aged man with a short beard and long hair and sword eyebrows reflected inside.
That's exactly what Bai Xian ordered himself.
It's the first time I saw my appearance so clearly, and I was quite satisfied.
"Come on, get money for this little brother." Bai Xianling was in a good mood, and commanded with one hand stroking his beard.
The official received the order, stretched out his hand and took out five thousand taels of silver tickets in his arms, stepped forward and handed them with both hands, Zhong Yuanxiu trembled his hands, and slowly took over such a huge wealth.
"Lord Xie Xianzun!" The young man took the silver ticket and bowed again.
