Concubine's poisonous plot

This price makes everyone feel that it is fair.

Someone immediately reacted and started bidding.

The people on the second floor were not very familiar with that store, but after listening to the introduction just now, they understood that the money earned in that location was relatively small. After all, the people coming and going were not large merchants, so they didn't react much.

Soon, the grocery store was sold at a price of two hundred and eighty taels. Immediately, a servant came over, handed over the house deed and transfer letter, took away the banknote, and handed over the money and delivered the goods.

In order to facilitate this matter, Shu Yunzhao even asked someone from the Yamen to register directly on site to ensure that the transaction was valid.

After the first hammer sale was successful, more people who were waiting and watching began to participate.

Not long after, all five shops had been auctioned off at reasonable prices.

The sixth shop was a pastry shop on South Street. After everyone heard this, they seemed to straighten up.

That store makes a lot of profits every year and has a good reputation. Many people come here just for this store.

The people on the second floor finally made some movement.

The starting price of this pastry shop is five hundred taels. Just as the people below were about to raise their hands, they heard a voice coming from the second floor.

"Wei family, five hundred taels."

The word "Wei family" seemed to have sealed their mouths.

In the entire Kyoto, no one knows who the Wei family is.

That was the natal family of the Queen Mother and the Empress, and the family of the uncle of the current dynasty.

If you dare to argue with the Wei family, you don't want to live.

Everyone originally wanted to compete, but this matter all died down.

Just as the Wei family was about to take out the pastry shop, they heard a shout from another room on the second floor: "Five hundred and fifty taels."

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, only to see a woman standing next to the screen, but they didn't know who was inside.

They did not report their family status, and everyone was guessing who else would dare to compete with the Wei family?

"Could it be the Su family?" Someone whispered.

"No matter what they do, they don't dare to provoke Uncle Guo..."

"Could it be that the Crown Princess arranged it herself, and has already thought of a plan to prevent this situation from happening?"

The people of the Wei family on the second floor naturally listened to this voice.

"Son..."

The servant next to me asked carefully and did not make any decision without permission.

The Young Master of the Wei family behind the screen nodded directly without any hesitation.

"Wei family, six hundred taels."

The one that just made the bid, without any surprise, still paid fifty taels more, and the Wei family still raised the price.

Everyone just watched, but no one joined the battle.

In the end, the Wei family bought the pastry shop for a price of one thousand taels.

The people from the yamen even ran upstairs to help with the procedures.

They can't afford to offend anyone from the Wei family.

Seeing the person behind the screen, the man from the Yamen was even more surprised. At that time, he admired the person who had just bid with the Wei family.

Next, a few more stores that were profitable but not worth the effort were robbed by people on the first floor.

In the blink of an eye, ten stores have successfully completed transactions.

Just when everyone thought this matter could be carried out smoothly, an accident happened.

The eleventh shop is a teahouse, a place where many literati like to go.

The teahouse has been in business for many years, and its profits are staggering. Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess really didn't hide her secrets and sold them all.

When the Su family heard that the tea house had a starting price of one thousand taels, they were heartbroken and asked people to bid.

There seems to be a tacit understanding among these high-ranking families that if one of them calls, the others will not snatch it.

As expected, Young Master Wei did not make a sound, and others also remained silent.

The two calls from the host had passed, and just when everyone thought that the Su family had used the thousand taels to get back a teahouse that they had been running for many years and made a lot of money from, the other family that had bid against the Wei family made another bid.

"One thousand two hundred taels."

This time he did not raise fifty taels by fifty taels, but directly raised two hundred taels.

The people who came to the Su family today were Su Wenshan and Su Lu. They were already angry when they heard someone raising the price. In order to confirm their thoughts, Su Wenshan directly asked someone to shout one thousand five hundred taels.

That person no longer seemed to be back and forth with the Wei family, but simply stopped.

Su Wenshan was even more certain that Shu Yunzhao must have deliberately arranged that house there to raise the price.

He asked his servants to come over and whisper a few words.

The servant immediately winked at the person below who had already prepared, indicating that he could start.

The man got the instruction and became excited.

"Why do I feel that everyone has been deceived? Even the Wei family has been deceived? The person on the second floor dared not report his family name but was there to raise the price. Could it be that the Crown Princess arranged the person herself, just to raise the price? There is no one to compete. , but the killer came out, and after a few rounds of unhurried shouting, he gave up."

"You said it, it sounds like it to me... Those good shops, as long as they are favored by the nobles on the second floor, the transaction prices are higher than the market prices..."

Someone didn't understand and asked, "What's the benefit of this? What if the nobles really stop carrying it and let the people arranged by the Crown Princess take down the shop?"

Someone immediately popularized: "Isn't that the same as not selling it? For the Crown Princess, it is not a loss at all. The shop is still in her own hands, and it is a stable and profitable shop. When the time comes, she will nominally change the owner. , in the end the money still belongs to the Crown Princess... Maybe in a few rounds, the people arranged by the Crown Princess will deliberately shout higher, so that the nobles will not want to buy..."

More and more people are participating in this discussion.

The young master of the Wei family did not waver at all. Instead, he drank tea leisurely and laughed at the people below.

"After all, the Su family has too little background. This ability is worth showing off... Do they really think that this Fuyun Building is the property of Prince Cheng's Mansion?"

The people next to him didn't make any movement, and they were all waiting to see the Su family's joke.

"Isn't it true that the Crown Princess is acting like this? She started to play these tricks when she was selling the shop. Will we encounter other problems when we really run the business in the future?"

Someone started to take the lead, and others immediately responded.

"If this is the case, aren't we being taken advantage of?"

"That's right, we don't dare to buy a shop like this..."

Some of the owners who have bought stores before have begun to hesitate.

Shu Yunzhao, who had been sitting on the third floor, didn't take it seriously. They had already anticipated these situations.

The Su family is really stingy and they always want to make her look embarrassed.

She said to the person sitting next to her: "It seems I was right to invite you over... I will probably scare them to death in a while..."

The man said very grandly: "A gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is always concerned. If he is scared so easily, it is because of a guilty conscience."

Everyone talked and said that they wanted the Crown Princess to come out and give an explanation. If the Crown Princess didn't come out, they would let the boss come out.

This statement was explained by Su Wenshan before, so that it would not directly offend Princess Xianya, but also create a rift between Princess Xianya and Shu Yunzhao, and at the same time completely destroy Shu Yunzhao's auction.

How did he know that the owner of Fuyun Tower was watching his little actions from the third floor?
