In the evening, Wan Xueliang, deputy director of the General Administration of National Security in Liuyun Province, finally found Qi Meng on a small boat in the reeds deep in the lake. However, Qi Meng broke an arm, and fought to the death with Ah San, although he finally killed Ah San, but he was also seriously injured by Ah San, and Qi Meng was already in danger of life.

Wan Xueliang sent someone to send Qi Meng to the best hospital in Quanshui City, Liuyun Provincial Hospital, and gave the doctor a death order, Qi Meng must be saved, otherwise he will ,...

At this time, the secretary who rushed from the State Security Administration quietly reported to Wan Xueliang: The War Department of Yinhuai District killed Shen Zhigang, the leader of the Black Dragon Society, on the spot, and imprisoned all the backbone of the Black Dragon Society.

Wan Xueliang was furious and scolded: "Is Fang Shisu full of food, doesn't he know that the black dragon will be covered by our National Security Administration?*&%#"

After a series of philosophical scoldings and stings blurted out, his feelings were slightly vented, and then he asked, "Why did Fang Shisu kill Shen Yigang?"

The official reason is: the Black Dragon Society is an anti-philosophical organization, and Shen Yigang intends to murder the military and political leaders of Yinhuai District; an informed employee of the Black Dragon Hotel revealed: Fang Shisu ordered a few bottles of Yilu 13 Furang wine, some people said that it was fake wine, Fang Shisu challenged Shen Yigang about this, but Shen Yigang's temper was not small, and he did not admit that it was fake wine, and later there was a physical conflict. Li Gangfu, head of the Yinhuai District Garrison Regiment, drew a gun and beat Shen Zhigang to death, and Shen Zhigang ordered the garrison regiment and the gendarmerie to completely wipe out the Black Dragon Society. The secretary replied in a low voice, uneasy in his heart, because he suspected that Yi Lu 13's origin was related to the National Security Administration.

Wan Xueliang chuckled in his conscience, Fang Shisu was eyeing Yi Lu 13, what does this mean? Could it be that Fang Shisu knew the source of Yi Lu 13 and deliberately tested himself? Yi Lu 13 was Wan Xueliang took advantage of the privilege of the General Administration of State Security to import goods exempt from paying 1 qiē tax, and did not need to provide any proof of origin and purchase bills, to buy a high-quality imitation of Yi Lu 13 from Nanyang and transport it to Quanshui City privately, and then he took advantage of the privilege of the General Administration of State Security. Falsified all the customs clearance procedures and documents for imported goods, and finally he put Yilu 13 magnificently on the Black Dragon Hotel for sale, and the profit was seventy-three shares, of which Wan Xueliang was divided into seven, and Shen Zhigang was divided into three.

If this matter is exposed, then Wan Xueliang will definitely be sent to the internal processing room, and he will be directly executed by lethal injection, that is, the executioner injects poison into the prisoner's body, which is a common punishment method used by the State Security Administration to punish traitors or those who violate discipline.

Wan Xue's conscience is upset, if those forged customs declarations, invoices, tariff declarations, increased tax declarations, waste tax declarations and other documents fall into the hands of people with intentions. That's a big problem. At this time, his mind was full of only how to get these Wen Jiàn back, and he didn't think about the Black Dragon Society's still some people from the Tongxin Society who were waiting to be executed, although he knew very well where these people were being held.

"Contact Fang Shisu immediately!" Wan Xueliang gave the secretary an order.

"Hey!" the secretary agreed by straightening up, turning and running to the dean's office.

In a friendly atmosphere, Wan Xueliang and Fang Shisu ended their phone call. Wan Xueliang was pleasantly surprised by Fang Shisu's attitude: Fang Shisu handed over all the physical evidence and arrested suspects from the Black Dragon Society to the National Security Administration, and in fact, Yinhuai District wanted to hand over all the matters related to the Black Dragon Society.

At this time, Wan Xueliang remembered that Shen Yigang was detaining more than 20 members of the Tongxin Society. But Fang Shisu didn't mention these people in his conversation at all, he wanted to ask Fang Shisu about this, but after thinking about it, he would soon come into contact with all the matters of the Black Dragon Society. I'm not in a hurry for a moment.

Ruan Jingtian parked his car in an open-air parking lot 200 meters away from the Shunyin Hotel, then called a rickshaw and came to the Shunyin Hotel.

He still appears in the form of Gong Xiaomu, although he doesn't know if Dongshamen will set up an ambush at the Shunyin Hotel. But he hopes to meet these killers, because the killers he has met belong to the first-line killers, and these killers don't know where the upper line is. The upline's connection to the frontline killer is a one-line connection. Specifically, it means that the upline gives orders and tasks over the phone, and the front-line killer cannot take the initiative to contact the upline. The door master belongs to the fourth line in the Dongsha Gate, and the first-line killer doesn't even know the door owner's surname, so Ruan Jingtian hopes to meet a higher-level killer in order to find the clues of the door owner.

Ruan Jingtian came to a banquet hall on the eleventh floor, with an open hall in the middle, which could accommodate about 100 people, surrounded by private rooms.

He showed the VIP card to the waiter, and the waiter wrote down the number, and then Ruan Jingtian followed the waiter to a box, only to see two rich middle-aged people sitting in the box, they were talking in a low voice.

When the two middle-aged people saw Ruan Jingtian coming in, Ma Shan stopped talking, stood up, and looked at Ruan Jingtian with a smile on his face, one of the middle-aged men who was a little taller stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically: "It's a pleasure to meet this gentleman, my name is Che Xingguo, I am the small boss of Rafter Bo City, this is my business card, I hope to take care of the business of the small shop, may I ask the little brother's name?"

"Boss Che, hello, my surname is Gong, my name is Xiaomu, I am in Dongshan City, eating public meals. Ruan Jingtian stretched out his right hand, took the business card, and shook hands with Che Xingguo. He knew that Rafter City, east of Izumi Castle and about a hundred kilometers from Izumi Castle, was famous for producing ceramic supplies.

Another middle-aged man also stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Mr. Gong, hello, my name is Cihu Long, I am a small businessman in Pingzhou City, this is my business card, I hope you come to Pingzhou City, I will be hospitable to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

Ruan Jingtian also shook hands with Porcelain Hulong, accepted the business card, said hello, and then looked at the two business cards, Che Xingguo is in the ceramics business, and Porcelain Hulong is in the seafood business. Binh Chau is located about 200 kilometers northeast of Dongshan Fortress and is the second largest city in Liuwom Province. It stands near the sea, has a natural deep-water port, is a distribution center for ocean-going ships, and is also the central city in the eastern region of Liuyun province.

Che Xingguo poured Ruan Jingtian a cup of tea and said, "Mr. Gong, you are here to participate in the auction." ”

"Yes. Ruan Jingtian wondered why the waiter brought him to this private room, as if these two people were waiting for him.

"Mr. Gong, can you tell me what you need to exchange?" asked Che Xingguo.

Ruan Jingtian's heart moved, it seems that it is not by chance that he was brought to this private room, and this auction must have connotation. He didn't like to go around, and said: "Two bosses, it's my first time to participate in this kind of private auction, and there are still many things I don't understand, I hope the two bosses will teach me a lot." ”

Che Xingguo and Ci Hulong glanced at each other, they didn't expect Ruan Jingtian to speak so directly. They put their minds at ease, this kind of character is always better than the deep character of the city government, Che Xingguo said with a smile: "Mr. Gong is a cheerful person, and he is very temperamental to Che, let me tell you some things about this auction." ”

Che Xingguo took a sip of tea and continued: "Everyone who participates in this kind of auction has their own needs, but how can we best meet the requirements of all participants? This requires some preparation work by the coordinator before the auction starts. The two of us are honored to be facilitators this time. The first task is to find out what the participants want, for example, if someone wants a painting by the famous painter Wu Daohe 500 years ago, we will look for auctioneers who have such items and ask them to bring them to the auction, and the second task is to find out what the participants are going to auction about. We will look for buyers who need such items and let them come to the auction as well. ”

Ruan Jingtian thought about Che Xingguo's words, and felt that the work of the coordinator was far from being as simple as he said, but where the complexity was, Ruan Jingtian couldn't think of it for a while.

"Thank you for the guidance of the two bosses, I need rare plants and medicinal herbs, there is no limit, the rarer and more effective, the more I need it. Ruan Jingtian thought about what he needed. After thinking about it, I still hope to refine more pills.

Che Xingguoxin said that this was indeed the case, because he had already learned about the items that Ruan Jingtian had bid on last night, so he guessed that Ruan Jingtian might need rare gems, ores, as well as plants and medicinal herbs. It's just that Ruan Jingtian didn't say that he needed gems and ores, and he was a little surprised.

"Mr. Gong, what are you going to auction?" asked Porcelain Lake Takashi.

Ruan Jingtian took out a bottle of Huiqi Pill from his arms and handed it to Cihu Long. said: "This is a special Qi Returning Pill, which is several times stronger than the ordinary Qi Returning Pill. He thought about it for a long time before deciding to take out the homemade Huiqi Pill as an auction item, because the Huiqi Pill had already been exposed in front of Wang Youpeng and Lian Wenzhou. There was no need for him to keep hiding.

Porcelain Hulong carefully took the jade bottle, gently opened the cap, smelled the rich aroma, and felt comfortable. Che Xingguo also came over, sniffed it, and his face showed a look of surprise. Obviously, these two people are not people who have never seen the world.

"Mr. Gong, your Hui Qi Pill is a good thing. You wait here for a while, and the old car and I will go outside to take care of some small things. Ci Hulong returned the jade bottle to Ruan Jingtian, then glanced at Che Xingguo again, and the two said a promise to Ruan Jingtian and got up to leave.

Ruan Jingtian knew that the two of them went out to report their needs and the items they were auctioning, got up to see the two of them away, and then sat at the table, drinking tea and closing his eyes.

After about a quarter of an hour, Che Xingguo and Porcelain Lake returned to the private room.

"Mr. Gong, many people are interested in your Hui Qi Pill, how many Hui Qi Pills do you have?" asked Porcelain Lake Long.

"I have twelve. "Ruan Jingtian is ready to auction them one by one.

"So much, not bad. Mr. Gong, I have something I want to discuss with you. Porcelain Lake Long looked at Ruan Jingtian expectantly.

"You're welcome, you say. Ruan Jingtian was a little curious about this matter to be discussed.

"The calligraphy of Xu Junsheng, the governor of our province, is famous and collectible. One of his characters will be auctioned at this auction, and what Governor Xu asked for in exchange was an elixir like the Huiqi Pill in your hand. Our idea is this: when Governor Xu's words are auctioned, you take out two Huiqi Pills in exchange, and when you get this pair of words, Governor Xu will also meet one of your requirements within his ability, for example, if you are a public official and want to be promoted, Governor Xu can support you. If you don't need Governor Xu's letter, you can sell it to us, and of course, we will take out the items you need and exchange them with you. If you are not satisfied with the items we provide, we can negotiate to convert them into gold bars or Zheyuan, and in terms of price, you will not lose money. Mr. Gong, what do you think of this idea?"

Ruan Jingtian was a little stunned, he never expected such a strange transaction, and his doubts were threefold:

First, if these two people want to collude with Governor Xu, they will directly buy the Hui Qi Pill from Ruan Jingtian and give it to Governor Xu, which will let Governor Xu receive their affection, but not let Ruan Jingtian get a piece of the pie from Governor Xu;

Second, from Governor Xu's point of view, it is understandable that he sold his character and got the items he wanted, but as a provincial-level feudal official, the person who wanted to give him a gift was like a carp crossing the river. Since the news came out that he needed a Hui Qi Pill or a higher-grade pill, someone would definitely do everything possible to send the Pill to the door, was it necessary for him to sell words in this way?

In democracies that do not practice universal suffrage, such as the Assassin and the Philosopher, power is the highest value, so in such a country, if the value of a calligraphy, painting, or other similar work of art can be related to power, then the value of the work of art is actually the value of power. For example, if the character is written by the mayor, it will be worth much less than the word written by the governor, and if the leader loses power, he will even be imprisoned. Then the words written or painted by the leader will become a piece of waste paper.

In the country of Thorn or Zheguo, the value of a work of art depends not only on the level of skill of the artwork, but also on the personality charm of the creator and the process of attachment to power. If the creator is considered a traitor, a heinous person, and a traitor, then no matter how high the creator's skill level is, his work is worthless, and even the right of authorship is deprived.

If someone in power is particularly fond of someone's work, the value of that person's work skyrockets.

If the powerful are the creators themselves, then the value of their works is actually the value of the power they wield. For example, if Governor Xu's words are put up for auction at a public auction. Then the final transaction price may be billions of zheyuan or even higher, because the bidder is not buying the art itself, but buying the power of Governor Xu.

Analyzing Ci Hulong's words, Governor Xu also knew that his words were worthless to people who did not need his power. Therefore, for the urgently needed elixir, Governor Xu not only exchanged words, but also directly exchanged power, in fact. The exchange of pills was not Governor Xu's words, but the help that Governor Xu promised, and Governor Xu's words were nothing more than a trust.

Ruan Jingtian was a little puzzled, why did Governor Xu want to use such a complicated form to obtain the Hui Qi Pill? Ruan Jingtian believed. For the ordinary Huiqi Pill, Governor Xu simply used it as a jelly bean to eat, and the pill of a higher grade than the Huiqi Pill was not used as a jelly bean, but it was not very rare.

Why does Governor Xu only favor the Huiqi Pill he took out? Perhaps the Huiqi Pill he refined has unexpected effects, and it is only one copy, not a roadside product full of streets, so Governor Xu is particularly fond of it. Ruan Jingtian could only think like this, because he really couldn't think of another reason to explain why Governor Xu did not hesitate to use his power in exchange for this Qi Returning Pill.

Third, Che Xingguo and Cihu Long arranged it like this, and it seemed that they were overly enthusiastic about Ruan Jingtian, and even had the meaning of currying favor with Ruan Jingtian. One of these two people is in Rafter City, and the other is in Pingzhou City, and they have no business intersection with themselves at all, but why do these two people want to tie themselves up?

Ruan Jingtian thinks more strongly about this doubt, because it directly involves himself. He thought about it for a while, and finally found a clue: it was very likely that these two people knew that they had come with Ning Jingwen last night, so the reason and purpose for them to curry favor with him were somewhat clear.

He suddenly thought that Ning Jingwen's grandfather's purpose of letting Ruan Jingtian take Ning Ning Wen to the auction was probably not very simple, and every move of these old foxes was not done casually, but there was another mystery.

These thoughts flashed through Ruan Jingtian's mind one by one, and he thought of the vacancy of the deputy head of the Dongshan City Water Organ mentioned by Grandpa Ning Jingwen, since Governor Xu included his power in the price given to the Huiqi Pill, then why not?

"The idea of the two bosses is very good, I agree, I hope that Governor Xu will put more effort into the promotion of someone in the palace, and thank the two of you for coming up with such a good solution. Ruan Jingtian directly pointed out his request.

Che Xingguo and Ci Hu Long were overjoyed, and hurriedly discussed the specific details, and Ruan Jingtian revealed that he had fought for the position of deputy director of the Dongshan City Water Agency.

Half an hour later, the auction officially began. The rules of the auction are as follows:

Each participant has the opportunity to become an auctioneer, and the auctioneer can present the lot and can either propose the desired item or not make any requests. The remaining participants are the bidders, and the bidders write down the items they have exchanged, and then the auctioneer chooses the most preferred item from the bidders' exchange items to exchange with them. Of course, the auctioneer may not be satisfied with all the exchanged items, then this auction will not be auctioned. If the second auction is still unsuccessful, the auctioneer will withdraw the lot and cannot continue the auction.

Ruan Jingtian was really an eye-opener, and the items auctioned were varied and all-encompassing. Even the small underwear of a certain singer is also auctioned, and the exchange items selected by the auctioneer are often unexpected, because different people evaluate the value of the same item differently, so there is no table xiàn The highest bidder in the auction usually wins.

After the auction is successful, the auction company will charge a handling fee to both parties according to a certain percentage, and at the same time, a very formal document will be issued to each party to the transaction, which records the whole process of the auction and the transaction in detail. Ruan Jingtian watched the two sides of the transaction take pictures with the items they got and the auction text, and he seemed to have an understanding in his heart, he somewhat understood why Governor Xu would take such a tortuous way to get the items he wanted. Of course, most of the parties to the transaction did not take pictures.

Ruan Jingtian saw a lot of cattiness. There are a number of auctions that are very similar to the plans proposed by Che Xingguo and Porcelain Lake Long. The auction went smoothly and there were no unsuccessful auctions.

Governor Xu Junsheng's words finally appeared, it was a banner, with only two words: left and right. The auctioneer is Xu Junfu, who is Xu Junsheng's older brother.

Ruan Jingtian looked at this painting and had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't tell where the blame was. He didn't bother to ponder the weirdness, and wrote down his exchange items on a special piece of cardboard: two special Rejuvenation Pills. And took out the jade bottle containing two Hui Qi Pills and placed them next to the cardboard.

As expected, Xu Junfu selected Ruan Jingtian's two Huiqi Pills, and Ruan Jingtian got Xu Junsheng's words "left and right".

Ruan Jingtian had no intention of selling the painting to Che Xingguo and Ci Hu Long. He always felt that these two words meant something, and he wanted to study them carefully.

At this time, many people looked at Ruan Jingtian with amazement, because many people reported that the value of the items was very high. However, Xu Junfu only chose two seemingly ordinary Huiqi Pills. This shows that either Ruan Jingtian's identity is special, or this Qi Dan is different.

Next, Ruan Jingtian took out six Hui Qi Pills as auction items for bidding. In the end, Ruan Jingtian obtained six very rare medicinal herbs, and the number of each medicinal herb was four, Ruan Jingtian couldn't help but be surprised by the amazing ability of Che Xingguo and Porcelain Hulong, as well as the auction, it was unlikely that they could prepare so many rare medicinal materials in just half an hour before the auction started, but should have prepared for a day. However, Ruan Jingtian thought that the value of the Hui Qi Pill he had refined should not be lower than the value of these medicinal materials, after all, the effect of using the pill refined by Qiankun Ding was very amazing.

The six people who got the Hui Qi Pill smelled the fragrance emanating from the Hui Qi Pill, and their faces immediately showed surprise, and they understood in their hearts that this transaction was worth the money, and they also immediately understood the reason why Xu Junfu chose two Hui Qi Pills as exchange items.

The participants of the auction all realized that the Hui Qi Pill brought by Ruan Jingtian was many times stronger than the ordinary Hui Qi Pill, so they all looked at Ruan Jingtian with warm eyes, hoping to exchange this Hui Qi Pill.

Che Xingguo and Ci Hu Long knew that Ruan Jingtian still had at least four Hui Qi Pills, and their eyes were even more blazing, they had previously underestimated the value of this Hui Qi Pill. They deliberately befriended Ruan Jingtian, which had other plans. Looking at the expressions of the successful bidders now, they knew that they had missed the treasure, and the two really wanted to exchange for the remaining four Hui Qi Pills.

However, Ruan Jingtian only auctioned six Hui Qi Pills, and then the auction ended, and the next auctioneer began to shout at the preciousness of the auctioned items.

The auction continues, and there are really not many good things that can attract Ruan Jingtian. However, when a short and fat middle-aged man walked up with two pieces of jade slips, Ruan Jingtian's eyes tightened, and his intuition told him that these two pieces of jade slips should not be ordinary, because although he had many jade slips, it still couldn't stop his desire for jade slips.

The stocky middle-aged man introduces the origin of the two jade slips, which were obtained from an ancient tomb in the Snow Ridge Mountains in the southwestern part of the Thorn Country.

Ruan Jingtian pondered for a while, thinking about taking out two Qi Rejuvenation Pills or one Qi Returning Pill to bid for two pieces of Jade Jane. He thought about it for a long time and decided to only produce one Rejuvenation Qi Pill because he didn't want others to know that he cared about these two pieces of jade slips. If the auctioneer does not fancy the Huiqi Pill, it is estimated that even if two Huiqi Pills are used, they will not be favored by the auctioneer. If this is the case, it can only mean that these two pieces of jade have nothing to do with him, and he will not force them.

Writing a Returning Qi Pill on the cardboard, he took out a jade bottle containing a Returning Qi Pill, and he quietly waited for the auctioneer's choice.

The short and fat middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he saw Ruan Jingtian take out the Hui Qi Pill, but when he saw the words one written on the cardboard, he was a little disappointed, and he hoped that Ruan Jingtian would take out at least two Hui Qi Pills.

When Ruan Jingtian saw the auctioneer's eyes, he knew that there was a play. He sat quietly at the table, casually scanning the exchange items reported by the others, and he had a bottom in his heart, because the value of the items reported by the others was more than one Returning Qi Pill.

After reading all the cardboards, the short and fat middle-aged man shook his head, and then said to Ruan Jingtian, "This gentleman, can you take out another Rejuvenation Qi Pill?"

Ruan Jingtian shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I just heard that these two things are from the ancient tomb, especially the square shape is something I have never seen before, I was a little curious, so I bought it to play with it." If you don't agree with my offer, then forget it, I really don't know what these two things are for. ”

Seeing Ruan Jingtian's lack of interest, the short and fat middle-aged man sighed helplessly, and finally picked up Ruan Jingtian's cardboard and said, "Let's do it one by one, deal." He handed the two pieces of jade to Ruan Jingtian, and then took the Hui Qi Pill.

Ruan Jingtian took the jade slip, looked it up and down a few times, and put it in his arms. The others no longer continued to pay attention to Ruan Jingtian because everyone here had some unique preferences, and Ruan Jingtian bought two pieces of jade slips without any fuss.

At the end of the auction, Ruan Jingtian took Che Xingguo and Cihu Long to a place where no one was, gave each of them a Hui Qi Pill, and said: "Thank you two bosses for helping me, this is a little bit of my heart, I hope you will accept it, you can come to me when you go to Dongshan City in the future, I will do my best to be a landlord." ”

Che Xingguo and Ci Hulong didn't expect Ruan Jingtian to give them the Hui Qi Pill, so they excitedly excused themselves and said, "Mr. Gong, this Hui Qi Pill is too precious, we will buy medicinal herbs or gold bars, money, etc. from you." ”

"You're welcome, two bosses, you've helped me a lot. You guys take the Hui Qi Pill, maybe I'll have to trouble the two of you in the future. Ruan Jingtian stuffed two bottles of Hui Qi Pill into the hands of the two of them.

Che Xingguo and Ci Hulong took the jade bottle excitedly, and Che Xingguo said: "I dare to call you Brother Gong, there will be a place for Brother Gong in the future, Brother Gong just speak." Porcelain Lake Long also swore that he would definitely work for Ruan Jingtian in the future.

Ruan Jingtian thanked the two brothers again, took the items obtained from the auction, and walked towards the elevator.

The elevator door opened, and four people walked out of it, one of them, a man in his thirties who looked very gentle, saw Ruan Jingtian, his eyes drifted a trace of strangeness, but he instantly returned to normal and walked in front of Ruan Jingtian. (To be continued......)
