Chapter 22 I'm tired of making this money
When you go around the rivers and lakes, it's still a bit cumbersome to bring too much. It's not that Lee Ming-yi is in Versailles, it's because he really feels heavy. It took him a lot of effort to carry more than 500 taels of silver to the carriage alone. But looking at so much silver, he felt that he was a person who practiced martial arts, and this bit of suffering should still be suffered.
After Xie Yarong asked what you did three times in a row, Li Mingyi told him what he had done.
After listening to him, Xie Yarong couldn't help but ask, "How did you know those people's offers?" ”
Li Mingyi blurted out while wiping the silver: "I don't know." ”
Xie Yarong asked again: "You don't know, then how did they get the treasure?" ”
Li Mingyi sorted out the silver, sat up straight, and said: "Although there are many people attending this conference, most of them are rushing to pick up the leaks, and their quotations are generally not high. I'll just apply for one, and someone will always win. You see, I reported hundreds, but I only won these thirty. ”
"How many people did you report? Aren't you afraid that they won't come to you for trouble? Xie Yarong couldn't help but say.
Li Mingyi patiently explained: "How do they know if someone will pay a higher price for their offer later? Besides, I confiscated their money. ”
"Didn't they suspect you at all?"
"I didn't quote if I was suspicious."
Xie Yarong was completely confused by his operation, and just muttered: "There are really so many fools in this world who believe you." ”
Li Mingyi was not happy about this, and said: "How can you say that my gold master is a fool." They paid for it. In order to get them to pay, I was an apprentice of Bishop Liu Yi Liu for a few hours. ”
"You still lie that your master is Liu Yi?" Xie Yarong was completely speechless, "They don't even believe this?" ”
"I told you, I didn't say anything about doubting me." Li Mingyi said righteously, "That's why only so many people come to send me money." ”
Xie Yarong was completely confused by Li Mingyi's magical logic, and it took a long time before she said, "You are so shameless." ”
Li Mingyi said a little angrily: "How can you say that I am shameless! There were also a lot of people who were successful and didn't come to pay for it, and I didn't even ask them for it. ”
Xie Yarong rolled her eyes and said, "Are you embarrassed to ask them?" ”
Li Mingyi said with a look of course: "Of course." If it weren't for Liu Yi being there, I was afraid that there would be a disturbance, and I would have gone up to ask for it. You think it's easy for me to make this money. Very tired! You say, should the money you didn't get included in this commission, and should you make it up to me? ”
"Get out!" Xie Yarong suddenly felt that it was better to keep a little distance from this shameless person.
Two flowers, one on each table. On the other side, the treasure appraisal conference ended successfully, and the host Wufeng quietly came to a room in the backyard. It was night, and the room was brightly lit. Wufeng tidied up his clothes and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in." A majestic voice came from inside the room.
When I pushed the door open without wind, I saw that this room was a study. On one side of the room are various bookshelves with various books. On one side of the window, there is a bookcase. On the bookcase, a middle-aged man is writing something on the desk. The middle-aged man was wearing a black robe, and the robe was embroidered with gold thread with fire clouds, which looked solemn and gorgeous.
When Wufeng came in, he knelt down on his knees facing the man and said, "The slave has seen the master." ”
The middle-aged man didn't raise his head, and said, "Wufeng, how many times have I told you, you and I don't have to see each other like this." Get up. ”
Wufeng stood up cautiously, but he still looked at his nose and nose, and did not dare to raise his head. Wufeng said: "The master is the emperor, and the slave should be like this." ”
"What a royal prince, how can there be such a royal prince." The middle-aged man raised his head, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes on a Chinese face, a thick nose and mouth, and he was extravagant at first glance. After laughing at himself like this, the middle-aged man said again: "How is this treasure appreciation conference? How much did the pearl sell that night. ”
Wufeng lowered his head and replied, "Master." A total of 871 treasures were sold, including 25 Category A treasures and 816 Category B treasures, for a total of 298,600 taels of silver. That night, the pearl was bought by the young master of the Xu family in Bingzhou at a high price of 23,000 taels. ”
Hearing this price, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "Twenty-three thousand taels, this Xu family is still so rich." It was not in vain that he let the thief saint act in this play. What is the argument for Lu Buti? ”
Wufeng said: "Lu Buxi didn't say anything, but he only needed three thousand five hundred taels. He said that he had bought the pearl for three thousand taels that night, and that five hundred taels was enough. It's just that the thief seems to be a little unhappy, as if he has suffered a loss in the process of hyping the Night Pearl this time. ”
"This Lu family firm is really knowledgeable about current affairs. No wonder you can eat so open. As for the thief, don't worry about him. I blackmailed someone else for 300 silver, and finally sent it back, who can blame it? It is also to let him eat a trench and grow wise. The middle-aged man asked again, "What about the people of the Vulcan Sect?" ”
Wufeng said: "The Vulcan Sect came with three red-robed bishops this time and took away eight Class A treasures. Category B treasures were sold off for almost a third. ”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "These guys are still so ignorant. Presumably, I have collected a lot of money in private over the years. Wang Buyi didn't know what to do. ”
Seeing that the middle-aged man began to count the high priests of the Vulcan Sect, Wufeng immediately lowered his head as if he hadn't heard anything. After a while, Wufeng said: "I heard from someone today that there is a disciple who claims to be a disciple of Bishop Liu Yi Liu who privately auctioned Class B treasures, and said that he will not receive money if he fails to win the auction, and it is said that he has collected a lot of money. ”
"Oh? Did he hit it all? The middle-aged man was interested.
Wufeng explained: "The slave has understood, it seems that he only helped people shoot a small part of it, and earned a few hundred taels of silver. Do you want to investigate this matter carefully? ”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "There's no need, it's just a few hundred taels of silver, let him go." But what else? ”
Wufeng thought for a moment and said, "The rest is nothing. However, I heard that the king of Yangzhou even detained the entire Xie family. ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "I'm not involved in this matter, so you don't have to talk to me." If it's okay, then step down. ”
"The minions are gone." Wufeng kowtowed respectfully, and then exited the room. He didn't lift his head for a moment the whole time.
The jade redemption journey between Li Mingyi and the two seemed to end so peacefully, and no one seemed to notice. But as the so-called Skynet is restored, Li Mingyi's price-lowering behavior quickly angered a person. This man is our thief.
After receiving the eighteen taels of goods after deducting a 10% handling fee, the thief slammed a teacup angrily and shouted: "Little thief, you are humiliating me." ”
