Ma Yangchen also found a toothpick out of nowhere and shaved his teeth.

Downstairs bidding, the three buyers did not give in.

In order to finally lose the auction, Yang Liuzhi increased the deposit to 30,000 taels, and none of the three buyers took the initiative to withdraw.

Seeing that the situation is heating up. Ma Yangchen stood up, walked out of the room, came to the lobby on the first floor, glanced up at the private room upstairs, glanced at Yang Liuzhi, and then Shi Shiran stepped out of Rong Bao Zhai.

Yang Liuzhi was suddenly stunned, thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that the auction of the index map today is indistinguishable, and the auction is hereby announced to be suspended." Tomorrow to continue. ”

There was an uproar upstairs and downstairs.

Yang Liuzhi smiled and said, "Today's eating and drinking expenses of everyone are all Rong Bao Zhai." The three bidders stayed in the room and did not move, and someone will go through the procedures for the second auction of the index map later. That's the end of today's auction, send-off!"

As soon as the guests were sent, Rong Bao Zhai was all on alert. The eight Dharma Protector elders got up and went upstairs, and all the guards of Rong Bao Zhai were unsheathed and bowed, and all the bidders upstairs and downstairs muttered in their mouths, but no one dared to raise objections.

When Yang Liuzhi found Ma Yangchen, he was drinking "Pian Erchuan" heartily in the Lin'an time-honored Zhiwei Restaurant. Seeing Yang Liuzhi approaching, Ma Yangchen said with a smile: "Have a bowl?"

Yang Liuzhi said: "The most famous thing here is the cat ears. Then he greeted Xiao Er, and continued: "Cat ears are made of dough to pull out dough like kitten's ears, plus peas, bamboo shoots, and diced meat, and boiled in broth for more than a year. ”

As he was talking, a small white porcelain cup came up from the shopkeeper. The small and cute cat ears are flipped in the soup with the spoon, and it is comfortable to look at after a bowl.

Yang Liuzhi stirred it with a small spoon and said, "The beef vermicelli and duck blood vermicelli soup here are also good, you can try it." ”

Ma Yangchen straightened up and said, "Okay, I'll taste it later." Have the identities of the three bidders been identified?"

Yang Liuzhi said: "You are not a person from a thousand doors. It's not called Jiang Yanzi. ”

Ma Yangchen smiled: "There is a fake identity to facilitate action. ”

"I'm curious. How did Lin'an, a small place, come to so many big people all at once. Yang Liuzhi said unhurriedly, "The one on the third floor is from the palace, the two on the second floor are from the officialdom, and the other is from the Jianghu family." Excuse me, where are you?"

Ma Yangchen took out a waist card and shook it, and then withdrew it into his arms. Yang Liuzhi glanced at it and said, "No wonder." The people from the criminal department also came to intervene. So what's next?"

Ma Yangchen said: "The index map is now a hot potato. You can't throw it away and you can't swallow it. The best thing to do is to hand it over to an official, such as Huo Da to catch the head. Since neither the palace nor the official family has revealed their identities, it means that the index map is not something that can be put on the table. If you want these two to retreat, it is better to simply put it on the table. ”

Yang Liuzhi said: "I am open to do business, how can there be a reason not to make money." Besides, even if it is to be handed over to the official family, it has to be handed over to you. Now give the index map to my cousin, isn't it a disservice to him? ”

Ma Yangchen whispered: "Do you have the index map with you?"

"Of course. Always carry it with you. ”

"I don't think so. Draw it over my hand, trouble me to bear it. ”

"Don't make a fuss. Then how do I go back and explain to the seller?"

Ma Yangchen said: "It's easy. The seller asks for the lowest price, and I will buy one or two pictures, which is in line with the rules. Rong Bao Zhai's auction commission is 5,000 taels, and I paid it together. Then I'll send Boss Yang another picture, and you go back to the normal auction. In this way, Boss Yang, you not only make money, but also keep the signboard. How?"

Yang Liuzhi was surprised: "You also have a picture?"

Ma Yangchen took out a picture from his arms and handed it to Yang Liuzhi. Yang Liuzhi took it, looked back and forth a few times, and gritted his teeth: "Okay." Just do as you say. But the picture is given to you, you can't go back to Rong Bao Zhai. As for how I auction next, it doesn't matter to you. ”

Ma Yangchen: "That's nature. ”

Silver and goods are cleared.

Yang Liuzhi returned to Rong Bao Zhai with the silver ticket in his hand.

Du Youcai greeted him and followed the willow branch into the room.

Yang Liuzhi asked, "What's the situation now?"

Du Youcai said: "The guests on the third floor are still quiet. The guest on the second floor said that he had lost something and was furious. ”

"Lost something, lost something?"

"It's a waist card. ”

"What?" Yang Liuzhi was startled, stood up on the ground, and said, "Call the lotus flower down." ”

After a while, the lotus came to the room.

Yang Liuzhi asked, "Have you been staring at the guest in the sixteenth private room?"

Lotus looked at the angry willow branches, and said cautiously: "When I was in the middle of the break, he asked me to change a pot of tea." And then..."

"And then what's wrong?"

"Then when I came back, no one was in the room. Later, before the auction began, the customer returned, carrying half a duck in sauce. He hasn't been out of the room since. Before the auction ended, the guests left, and I asked Xiaoliu to follow. You know what happened next, boss. ”

Yang Liuzhi sat down on the seat in shock, waved his hand weakly, and the lotus retreated.

Du Youcai asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Liuzhi said hatefully: "I let that stinky boy be deceived." The waist tag he showed me was stolen. The index map of the Zhenguo Divine Beast was dropped by this stinky boy. What can I do about this? Lao Du, you quickly arrange for someone to go and find it, and you must arrest that stinky boy back. ”

Du Youcai was taken aback and said, "Ah, who is the stinky boy that the boss is talking about?"

"Who else but him?"

"No way. When I went to call the lotus just now, I saw that Jiang Gongzi had just gone upstairs, and now I should go back to the sixteenth private room. ”

"What!" Willow Branch was taken aback.

Room 16.

When Yang Liuzhi rushed into the room, Ma Yangchen was yawning.

Yang Liuzhi's eyes could be filled with fire.

Ma Yangchen snorted and said, "I'm sorry, Boss Yang, I forgot something big." The waist card just took advantage of the chaos and returned it unconsciously. As for the picture, I also sent it back to you. After speaking, he put the index map of the Zhenguo Divine Beast on the table, and continued: "It seems that our business will not be able to be completed. 5,000 taels of silver tickets, you better return it to me. As for the silver or two that bought the picture, it should be regarded as tea money. ”

Yang Liuzhi hated itchy, and gritted his teeth and said, "Stinky boy, are you fooling me?"

Ma Yangchen attached his index finger to his lips and said, "Shhhh If you let people know that the index map in your arms is fake, Rong Bao Zhai's century-old reputation will be ruined. ”

Yang Liuzhi hurriedly put the index map on the table into his arms, took out the fake map and the silver ticket and threw it to Ma Yangchen, and said sharply: "Get out! Don't let me see you again, otherwise I will look good with you." ”

Ma Yangchen smiled, put away the silver ticket, leaned back in the chair with a big grin, and said with a smile: "That's not good, how can I help Boss Yang make money when I get out." You said that Rong Bao Zhai welcomes me to join, and the commission is 5,000 taels. ”

Yang Liuzhi straightened his clothes, suddenly regained his complexion, and said with a smile: "Okay, Jiang Gongzi." Wait a minute. I'm going to get you a silver ticket and pay a month's commission first, okay?"

Before Ma Yangchen could speak, Yang Liuzhi turned around and walked out of the room. Liao Jianghe, one of the eight Dharma Protector Elders, was outside the door again, saw Yang Liuzhi coming out, and stepped forward and asked, "Idea to pierce your hands?"

Yang Liuzhi laughed loudly: "Jiang Gongzi is a distinguished guest, you must not be slow to wait, Elder Liao, you have to serve in person." Liao Jianghe nodded and said, "Got it, boss." Then he beckoned, and four people surrounded him and guarded the door of the sixteenth private room.

Yang Liuzhi walked up to the third floor, came to the private room No. 28, knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside the door, "Please come in." ”

Yang Liuzhi pushed the door in, and an old man was sitting in the room, and two people stood with their hands down.

Yang Liuzhi's face was full of smiles, and he said, "Guest officer, I am Yang Liuzhi, the boss of Rong Bao Zhai." I wonder if the guest officer will have time to take a step to speak. ”

The old man looked serene, and said with a pleasant face: "They are all my own people, Boss Yang doesn't need to shy away from it, you might as well speak up if you have something." ”

Yang Liuzhi smiled and said, "The guest officer also saw it just now, and the other two are also determined to get the index map of the Zhenguo Divine Beast. But there's no way for you to compare like this, I'm here to discuss with you, can you change the auction to a one-shot winner?"

The old man asked with interest: "How can you decide the winner with one shot?"

Yang Liuzhi continued: "Don't hide it from you, the seller left an expected transaction price when depositing the index map. I wrote it on paper beforehand and pressed it on the table. The three of you place direct bids, and whoever bids the price that is closest to the expected price will get the lot index in the end. How?"

The old man smiled and said: "It's the first time the old man has heard of this rule, isn't the higher the markup auction, the more Rong Bao Zhai earns?"

Yang Liuzhi said: "In the past, Rong Bao Zhai can't wait for you to fight." However, the seller of the consignment was on the spot, and he didn't want everyone to hurt the harmony for the index map, so he proposed this plan. I wonder if you agree?"

The old man thought for a while and said, "The old man agrees." But I also have a condition, I want the seller to be on the spot to start the shooting, so that we have nothing to say whether we win or lose. ”

Yang Liuzhi said: "Okay." I'm going to get ready. Someone will come and call you old in a moment. ”

The old man arched his hand: "Boss Yang, please." ”

Yang Liuzhi returned to the second floor and entered the rooms of the other two bidders, but he did not expect things to go exceptionally smoothly, and when he received a positive answer, he walked into the No. 16 private room again.

Ma Yangchen saw the willow branches that were happy and said, "Boss Yang has a happy face, it seems that something good has come to the door." ”

Yang Liuzhi laughed and said, "That's right. It's a great thing for me, but it's not a good thing for you. But I can promise you that if you can avoid this fate, my grudge with you will be written off, and I am willing to be friends with you and become sisters and brothers. Rong Bao Zhai will be your friend from now on. ”
