Chapter 23: Twenty pounds forget about sorrows

The moment she saw the blood wolf skin, Mu Qingyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing a hint of her daughter's little pride.

She couldn't find Yun Que, but she could deduce Yun Que's whereabouts.

I'm going to come to the auction and sell that wolf skin.

After the auctioneer quoted the reserve price, there was a burst of surprise in the venue.

Three hundred taels is not a small amount of money, ordinary people can't earn three hundred taels for decades, this kind of strange goods is definitely not something ordinary people can afford.

Good fur is often the most beloved thing of the rich and noble, not only to keep out the cold, but also to symbolize status.

Especially the fur of the monster beast can show its identity even more.

There were several wealthy figures in the crowd who were interested, and just as someone was about to increase the price, a discordant voice sounded.

"The three-eyed blood wolf is too heavy, ordinary people can't wear it, the light is weak, the heavy is sick in bed, selling this kind of fur, isn't it harmful, I think it's more than two hundred taels, it can't be higher."

There were so many people in the hall that they couldn't tell who was talking, and people immediately talked about it, and the few rich people who wanted to bid also became wait-and-see.

In the private room on the second floor, Mu Qingyao's eyebrows moved slightly.

There were too many people, and she couldn't see who was speaking, but Mu Qingyao could remember this voice.

Mu Qingyao has the ability to never forget, and it is easy to listen to voices and distinguish people.

The source of this voice was the captain who was outside the city gate in the early morning!

Mu Qingyao didn't know the relationship between Yun Que and the captain, but the situation in the morning proved that the two must know each other.

But the fall in the auction made Mu Qingyao very puzzled.

If it's an acquaintance, why point out the shortcomings of wolf skins?

The auctioneer laughed when he heard this, and said:

"That's right! The three-eyed blood wolf is known for its fierce blood, and ordinary people on the wolf skin can't bear it, but if they can afford this kind of wolf skin, how can they be ordinary people, after the wolf skin is in hand, as long as they find someone to remove the power of qi and blood, it is the best thing to keep out the cold, especially the red wolf skin, this color of the wolf skin jacket, even if it is not common in Tianqi City. ”

There was a pause in the voice, and the auctioneer continued:

"Our firm can remove the qi and blood in the wolf's skin, the fee is reasonable, only fifty taels of silver, if there is any discomfort after wearing it, our old tree firm is fully responsible."

With the endorsement of the firm, the rich people in the crowd who wanted to buy wolf skins and were a little worried immediately calmed down.

Markups are starting to appear.

Ten taels of silver at a time, and in a short time it reached four hundred taels.

After four hundred taels, the price increase was significantly less.

The auctioneer nodded slightly, and the final transaction price he estimated would not exceed five hundred taels, and now it was almost over.

"I'll give five hundred taels!"

A cold voice came from the crowd.

Mu Qingyao frowned again after hearing this.

The voice of this bid of five hundred taels is the captain who depreciated the price of wolf skins just now.

No matter how smart the Lingyun County Lord is, he is also a little confused now.

Why was it still depreciating just now, and now it's coming to increase the price?

Not only Mu Qingyao heard the other party's voice, but the auctioneer also heard it, so he wondered:

"Didn't Your Excellency just say that this wolf skin is at most two hundred taels, how did you increase it to five hundred taels?"

"What I fancie, what about using some means, in the lower eight-rank martial arts, this blood wolf skin can be used to boil qi and blood, strengthen muscles and bones, it is useful to me, I bid five hundred taels, you give a face!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present and the auctioneer suddenly realized.

People don't pay much attention to this person's methods, after all, this kind of devaluing the item before scrambling to buy it is all too common at auctions.

What people are most interested in is the usefulness of the blood wolf skin to the eight-rank martial artists.

Eight-rank Bone Refining Realm martial artists need to boil their qi and blood to refine their muscles and bones, which costs a lot of money, and the blood wolf skin is actually good for eight-rank martial artists.

In the midst of the discussion, someone raised the price again, raising the price to five hundred and fifty taels.

Then someone directly bid 600 taels.

Eight-rank martial artists, in a small place like Zangshi Town, you can indeed walk sideways, but this is a hundred jade city, a border town.

The face of the eight-rank martial artist is not enough in Hundred Jade City.

The lieutenant snorted coldly and stopped talking, apparently giving up on the competition.

In the end, the blood wolf skin was sold at a high price of 600 taels.

Halfway through the auction, the auctioneer announced an intermission, and the hall was full of people for a while.

This intermission is also a time when people can trade with each other.

Many people take out good things to sell or exchange for them, and there are many shouts and insults for bargaining.

Mu Qingyao stared at the figure of the captain through the gauze curtain, and saw the other party get up and leave his seat and walk into a cabin.

On the first floor, there are a number of sealed huts, with only one door and no windows.

These huts are designed for the use of both parties to the transaction.

After all, some things are not suitable for taking out in public, or some people are worried about their guilt, afraid that their good things will be remembered by others.

Mu Qingyao immediately went downstairs, through the crowd, and came to the door of the hut where the captain had entered.

Taking advantage of the people around her, Mu Qingyao pretended to pass by, squatted down at the door and tied the laces of her deerskin boots.

The door is not thick, and you can faintly hear the sound inside when you stick to the door.

Two people, talking.

"If you say four hundred taels of wolf skin, it will be sold for six hundred taels, and the difference between two hundred taels and two hundred taels will be half of mine."

"Come less! I almost didn't let you mess it up, you just said that the blood wolf skin is good for the martial artist and it's over, what kind of drama do you add, you have to bring out the identity of the eight-rank martial artist, you are not afraid of scaring others, no one will bid. ”

"Baiyu City is not your Tibetan Stone Town, there are more rich people, so they don't care about any eight-rank martial artists, showing their identities can make people feel more real, and they can pay more attention to the blood wolf skin, don't say it's useless, the money has already reached your hands, take a hundred taels."

"Do you have any professional ethics, you say a good fifty taels, not a single point more, do you want love."

"In front of the silver, I don't even recognize my father and mother, do you think I will have morality, a price of eighty taels."

"Seventy taels, deducted from the account, I will be replaced after the price is raised, and there are those who sing double reeds."

"Okay, it's only seventy taels, but I want cash and money."

"You still owe me one hundred and ninety-five taels!"

"One yard is one yard, the account is owed first, and the money is brought first."

Hearing this, Mu Qingyao really couldn't hold back, laughed out loud, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

It turned out that the two people in the house had been putting on a double reed at the auction.

Although he tried his best to stifle his laughter, there was still a slight sound, and the room immediately fell silent.

Then the door opened.

It was the lightly armored captain at the gate of the city in the early morning, and the goggles at the mouth of his heart were wiped spotlessly, and he swept his eyes out of the door coldly.

"Is there something wrong with this girl?" The lieutenant said indifferently.

"I'm looking for someone, he should be in the house." Mu Qingyao said generously.

"Then come in and talk."

The captain let Mu Qingyao into the house, and then locked the door.

After Mu Qingyao entered the house, she immediately saw the black-clothed young man sitting opposite, and the other party was also stunned for a moment.

Mu Qingyao pursed her lower lip and said:

"Hiring people to maliciously raise prices and deceive outsiders, if they are accused, their reputation will be ruined, and it will be difficult to do business in the future."

Yun Que was embarrassed for a moment, and said angrily to the captain:

"You didn't open the soundproof circle, didn't you! You can't bear two taels of silver, this is good, the wall has ears, you see what to do! ”

This kind of trading hut has its own small soundproof magic circle to isolate the sound in the house.

However, it costs an additional two taels of silver to open it once, and generally people who trade in the hut will open the soundproof circle in advance.

This hut was chosen by the captain in advance, Yun Que thought that the other party had opened a soundproof magic circle, but he didn't expect the other party to be so stingy, in order to save money, he didn't open a magic circle at all, so that the conversation just now was listened to.

The captain sneered, his eyes were tilted upwards with a chill, and he stared at Mu Qingyao and said:

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Yun Que hugged his shoulders and looked at the excitement and said, "What are you going to do, let's hear it, shouldn't you want to kill it." ”

The lieutenant said coldly: "It's too troublesome to extinguish the mouth, first knock her out, and then pour two catties into her to forget her worries, she will definitely not remember today's events." ”

"Two catties! Is it too much, will it be overeaten? "Yun Que Dao.

"No, I will forget my worries, no one will die within five catties, five catties can forget who I am, four catties can forget my parents' children, three catties can forget how much money I have in the family, one catty can forget all the experiences in a day, for the sake of insurance, at least two catties can be poured into her." The lieutenant said indifferently.

Mu Qingyao's eyes widened when she heard this.

And this means?

Mu Qingyao has also seen a lot of despicable and dirty people, but it is the first time she has seen a guy who talks about despicable things so justifiably.

Yun Que listened to it with joy, pointed at Mu Qingyao and said:

"Do you know who she is, she is the county lord of Lingyun, do you think it is appropriate to pour a few catties to forget your worries."

Mu Qingyao raised her head slightly, the county lord's nobility was undoubtedly revealed, and said:

"I don't know what it tastes like to forget my worries, this county lord really wants to see it."

"Heh, just find a little girl and call yourself the county lord, Yun Que, do you want to unload the mill and kill the donkey and scatter it in two, with a new partner, you kicked the old partner, will you believe me." The lieutenant said disdainfully.

It wasn't until Mu Qingyao took out the Yin Yang Order made of purple gold that the captain's gaze immediately changed and he knelt on one knee.

"Captain Mei Qian of Baiyu City, I have seen His Royal Highness the County Lord!"

Mu Qingyao couldn't help but laugh, pointed at Yun Que and said, "This person knows a lot of my secrets, and Captain Mei thinks it's appropriate to deal with it." ”

After Mei Qian got up, she stared at Yun Que indifferently and said:

"The county lord doesn't have to worry, I'll deal with it, knock him out first, and then pour him twenty catties to forget about his worries."

"Twenty pounds! The pigs can't eat it, how can you feed me! Don't you say that you can't eat people under five catties, twenty catties, you want to poison me! Yun Que scolded.

"Your physique is too strong, twenty catties is just a conservative number, let's look at it first, and if it doesn't work, you have to add it again." Mei Qian snorted coldly.

"Where the are you?" Yun Que scolded.

"My money will always be on the side of power." Mei Qian said indifferently.

"Okay! surnamed Mei, from today onwards, we will break up in two, and we will never be ruthless. "Yun Que Dao.

"Affection? Do we have that thing between the two of us? Mei Qian said.

"yes, it doesn't seem to be, forget it, I don't blame you, but don't shout for help when you cut you." Cloud lacks a way.

Mu Qingyao couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth and laughing.

Mei Qian's ears moved slightly, as if she heard something, and bowed down very interestingly:

"The villain retired first, if the county lord is sent, the villain will definitely die."

After saying that, I want to leave.

As a result, Yun Que got up early, blocked the door, and opened the soundproof magic circle.

Looking at Yun Que's smiling expression, Mei Qian's face showed a moment of anger.

He had a strong premonition that he was going to be caught!
