Chapter 48 Suspension of the Auction

There are many strange things in the Treasure Pavilion, and the most novel thing is that every year you can find some novel women from various places, Kunlun slaves who are black and black, Western slaves who are as white as snow, and Gaoli slaves who are short in stature but are scattered.

These women were either resold or abducted, and after layers of means, they were transported thousands of miles to this treasure pavilion.

With two bells ringing, the auctioneer Ming Ming changed his skirt and walked onto the auction table again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time you can be said to have seized the opportunity, and there may be guests who are here specifically for this auction." Ming Dynasty slowly raised his hand.

Four or five stout men came up pushing a cart more than one person high.

Ming Dynasty's eyes were a little reluctant, but he still stabilized his mind and said: "In fact, for the Ming Dynasty, they are not goods, and the Ming Dynasty, as a Hongchen woman, also hopes to implore the buyer, if they can take it away, take care of it kindly." “

Lu Jiangnan upstairs asked, "What is that person talking about?" “

Shen Jin'an's eyes were a little determined and said, "It should be a living person." “

"Living?"

Lu Jiangnan was a little surprised, and before he could continue to say anything, he didn't know that the Ming Dynasty directly lifted the black cloth on the iron cage.

A blonde woman with a fair body and only a few pieces of animal skin on her body appeared in Lu Jiangnan's field of vision.

"I won't introduce too much, I'm afraid that the VIPs here can understand it very well, and the starting price is 11,000 taels." Although the Ming Dynasty felt a little sad in his heart, his professional skills were not lagging behind.

Soon the auction price came to 19,000 taels, and there was still a posture of going up.

Shen Jin'an just watched quietly, without the slightest sympathy in his eyes.

However, Lu Jiangnan couldn't hold on and said, "That woman looks pitiful." “

"Well, but there's nothing we can do about it." Shen Jinan said without hesitation.

Lu Jiangnan snorted lightly: "I really didn't expect you to be quite cold-blooded." “

Shen Jinan replied: "You think this is the first time this kind of thing, I'm afraid that in the eyes of those big families, these women are just playthings, if you can't stand it, you can not look at it." “

Shen Jin'an explained well, although Lu Jiangnan traveled the rivers and lakes, she only saw some superficial things, and those disgusting and dirty transactions would only be completed underground.

Just when Lu Jiangnan was still immersed in his own thoughts, he never thought that the mallet of the Ming Dynasty had fallen heavily.

"Congratulations to the VIPs in room No. 5 of Tianzi for successfully auctioning off 39,000 taels of silver." Ming Ming congratulated.

The auction continued, until all the items found a buyer, Ming Ming said loudly: "Distinguished guests, it can be said that the auction items in front of me are just warm-ups, and what I am about to put out is the real finale, please pay attention." “

"What is this?" Lu Jiangnan couldn't help but gasp.

I saw a Zhuge repeater appear on the highest display platform of the Treasure Pavilion.

Even Shen Jin'an was a little curious after seeing this kind of skill: "Tang Sect's things? “

The dialogue between Shen Jinan and Lu Jiangnan, the Ming Dynasty under the stage naturally couldn't hear it, and the Ming Dynasty continued to explain: "Zhuge Repeater, founded in Wuhou, I don't want to introduce too much about the name Zhuge Wuhou, you must know that Zhuge Repeater has disappeared from the world for a hundred years, and now it suddenly appears, it can be said that it is breathtaking, please rest assured, Zhuge Repeater can shoot sixteen crossbow arrows in one breath, we have conducted experiments, and the most pleasing thing is that this time Zhuge Repeater has a total of 200 crossbows!" Each unit costs 2,000 taels, a total of 40,000 taels! “

Lu Jiangnan smashed his mouth: "This Tangmen's business is really not small, any hidden weapon can be sold for thousands of taels of gold." How much money they will make. “

"It's true that the Tang Sect makes money, the Tang Sect can become the first sect in Xishu, and the property is naturally extremely rich." Shen Jin'an nodded with a smile, his eyes swept over the Zhuge crossbow on the stage and said, "However, although there are all kinds of secret weapons in the Tang Sect, there are very few that are really valuable. This Zhuge repeater is a great killing weapon that is only legendary in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes. In that turbulent era, Xishu, which had insufficient troops, was able to make several northern expeditions, and this Zhuge crossbow was indispensable. In the same way, the Great Qin Ruishi was able to unify the world with crossbow arrows, relying on these big killing weapons. Merely... “

"Just what?" Lu Jiangnan continued to ask.

Shen Jin'an said thoughtfully: "It's just that when the Tang Sect doesn't rely on these secret weapons to maintain the turnover of the sect, when a weapon can become a sect's hole card, they will rarely come out to auction the weapons they need, because at this time, they choose more barter and money, I'm afraid it will be difficult to impress them." “

"Barter?" Lu Jiangnan raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little curious about Shen Jin'an's words.

Shen Jin'an explained: "Bartering is just a general term, maybe they want to. “

Before Shen Jin'an could finish speaking, he took out the silver ticket of 10,000 taels from his arms and walked outside.

Outside such a valuable private room as Shen Jin'an, there will be someone waiting for him intimately, according to the original words of the Treasure Pavilion, only the most thoughtful service can be worthy of the status of the Treasure Pavilion.

So when Shen Jin'an just walked out, he was respectfully led into the living room by a beautiful maid who had been waiting here for a long time, and waited carefully.

Shen Jin'an sat silently on the chair, picked up the teacup on the table next to him and took a sip gently, glanced at the timid girl next to him, nodded slightly, and said faintly along his mouth: "Shouldn't the auction be over?" ”

"No, it won't." Startled by Shen Jin'an's serious voice, the girl secretly glanced at Shen Jin'an next to her, and said with a pale face: "This VIP, the last auction is the finale, so the time will be extended compared to other items." “

Seeing the somewhat nervous appearance of this maid, Shen Jinan had no choice but to nod quietly and continue to maintain a very serious silence.

If what he thought was right, the person who sold the Tang Sect's items should also be in today's auction, and what he wanted was more than just tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Bi Gong Bi Jing stood aside, the maid looked at Shen Jin'an, who was not continuing to say anything, and she was also quietly relieved in her heart, for these VIPs in the Treasure Pavilion, there were already regulations in the attic, no matter what kind of request, they could not refuse. After all, compared with those dignitaries of one value, these worthless maids can be said to be dispensable.

Just after the maid waited beside her for more than ten minutes, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the passage, and it seemed that her task was over.

The person who came was a man dressed as a middle-aged businessman, and the good Hetian jade pendant on his waist showed that this person's status in the Treasure Pavilion was not ordinary.

"I'm sorry for this VIP, we don't have any mishospitality here." As soon as the middle-aged businessman saw Shen Jin'an, a smile piled up on his face, and he said flatteringly.

Shen Jin'an put down the tea bowl and said with a somewhat dissatisfied look: "This tea is not bad, it should be a good red robe, it has never been pulled out of the mouth of the woman who has never been out of the pavilion, and it is slowly rubbed out on the thigh, but it is a pity that the day of baking should not be time." “

Seeing that Shen Jin'an made the origin and origin of the tea clear one by one, the middle-aged Confucian businessman who had been guarding the side here for many years couldn't help but look at Shen Jinan twice.

A few years ago, Shen Jin'an had nothing, but when it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, I'm afraid there are not many people who can surpass him.

"Xiaoxue, go and serve the best Tieguanyin to the guests." As the middle-aged Confucian merchant spoke, the girl on the side hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, bent down respectfully, and quickly retreated.

Seeing that Shen Jin'an didn't look provocative, the middle-aged Confucian businessman was a little relieved, smiled at Shen Jin'an and said, "This VIP, I don't know what business you want to handle?" “

"Exchange money." Shen Jin'an didn't explain much.

The middle-aged Confucian merchant also explained with a smile: "For customers like you, we can give you a guarantee of 100,000 taels, I don't know if it is enough." ”

Shen Jin'an shook his head, and the middle-aged Confucian merchant continued: "Two hundred thousand taels? “

Shen Jin'an still didn't speak, and the middle-aged Confucian businessman's face was a little unbearable and said: "I'm really embarrassed to be a VIP, you don't have a mortgage, although your status is noble, but no matter what, 200,000 is already the highest price within my scope of responsibility." “

"Then go to your pavilion master, give this to him, and say that no matter what price you get in the end, I will want the two hundred Zhuge crossbows." Shen Jin'an took out a golden card from his arms and put it in front of the middle-aged Confucian merchant.

The middle-aged Confucian merchant took the gold card and put it in the palm of his hand, the first feeling was golden, and the value of this card alone should reach hundreds of taels.

Looking at this young man who made such a generous hand, the middle-aged Confucian businessman couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Okay, wait a minute." The middle-aged Confucian businessman said respectfully.

Shen Jinan looked at the middle-aged Confucian merchant's back and whispered, "I hope that before I get what I want, it won't be taken away by others." “

"You can rest assured, you can go back to your room with peace of mind." The middle-aged Confucian said with a slight bow.

Sure enough, when Shen Jin'an returned to the room, Ming Ming in the auction hall said apologetically: "You VIPs are really a little embarrassed, because of the Treasure Pavilion itself, the auction will be suspended at present, in order to compensate you, we will raise the guarantee amount of everyone today by 5,000 taels for free." ”

"What did you just do?" Lu Jiangnan said with some curiosity after seeing Shen Jin'an's back.
