Reborn Lord

When Duan Jinsong was about to wait, according to Lu Moning's intention, he publicized the boxes of leathers he brought, some of which were the rarest, and he would report an auction in three days. Hello, I can come and have a look.

However, Duan Jinsong didn't say what kind of skin it was for the sake of a gimmick.

In addition, he is the richest man in Yuezhou City, so the things he brought out must be good, but it has aroused the interest of many wealthy businessmen and officials to find out what kind of rare things this old man brought.

Just inquired and inquired, but failed to inquire.

And at this moment, Duan Jinsong directly bought the largest teahouse in Ningzhou Prefecture with a large sum of money. Even for a certain period of time, on the day of the auction, the guests who came here had to pay 100 taels of Wenyin first.

Such a declaration was spread throughout almost the entire Ningzhou Prefecture.

I think the master is crazy, 100 taels of silver, why doesn't he grab it?

However, the more this was the case, the more it made their hearts itch.

The Ningzhou Mansion has been scratching its head these few days, and it's the auction after dinner and tea, but the protagonist Duan Jinsong is standing respectfully in front of Zhao Tianji at this moment, and can't help but say: "Young Master Lu, this method is good. People with our status, who don’t care about such a small amount of money... The more they are like this, the more they will come here for the sake of face. Even if it is not rare, those country gentry, wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials will come here and make money This face."

Zhao Tianji glanced at him and raised his eyebrows: "Don't you care about this little money?"

He glanced at Duan Lao Si's newly put on fancy clothes, if he hadn't been staring at him this time, the other party would have planned to continue to take out his tattered jackets and rags.

Duan Jinsong coughed lowly: "This old man is thrifty..."

It's just that under Zhao Tianji's meaningful smile, he couldn't continue, so he simply turned his gaze and landed on Lu Mo Ning who had been silent all this time: "Young Master Lu, is there something wrong?"

Lu Mo Ning shook his head: "Who said this method can force the opponent, but if the opponent doesn't take the bait..."

Then their plan will fail.

Zhao Tianji took the time to pinch a stick of incense, and took advantage of the situation to hold Lu Mo Ning's hand on the table: "Ah Ning, those who do great things must ignore the consequences, but I hope there will be no regrets..."

Lu Mo Ning glanced at him: "You are right."

Zhao Tianji's eyes brightened: It's rare that Aning would agree with his words.

"But... when are you going to let go of my hand?" Lu Moning narrowed his eyes: Is he addicted to acting as a young couple?

Zhao Tianji withdrew his hand regretfully: Aning is really becoming less and less cute.

He calmly and forcefully said: "I have no choice but to burn incense."

Duan Jinsong was originally blinded by the emperor's scoundrel, but when he heard this sentence, he nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, as a last resort, a stick of incense has arrived... just to be on the safe side, I'm afraid I need to touch it again." .” As a courtier, he was bound to defend the emperor’s happiness.

Zhao Tianji glanced at Duan Jinsong appreciatively: "Fourth Duan, yes, there is progress, I am very relieved."

Duan Laosi: It is the duty of a veteran to solve the emperor's worries and problems.

Lu Mo Ning: "..." He always has the guts to raise a wolf and attract a embarrassment.

There were only four words written on the faces of the two of them: Worrying and treacherous.

On the day of the auction, the Yipin Tea House was full of people and bustling.

Almost the entire Ningzhou Mansion, as well as prominent people from the neighborhood, came. More than a hundred people plus servants, the entire lobby on the first floor of the teahouse was full.

Duan Jinsong had already recruited a lot of young servants, and gave them first-class Maojian and various small snacks, all of which were first-class, making these more than a hundred people feel that they were not in vain.

Before these people came in, Lu Moning and Zhao Tianji brought Pei Chao, who was disguised as a woman and wearing a hood, to the third floor of the teahouse.

From the position on the third floor, the faces of everyone downstairs can be seen clearly.

"Is there a familiar figure in your memory 15 years ago?" Lu Mo Ning actually did not hold any hope. After all, 15 years ago, Pei Chao was only five or six years old. It was dark and he was afraid at the time, and the other party was in the shadows , naturally did not see clearly, except for the unique waist decoration of the guard.

But the other party is naturally not a fool. If he killed someone locally, he would naturally not keep those things.

Now it can only be found by intuition.

Sure enough, Pei Chao shook his head: "I can't remember, it's true and it's not, it looks like it doesn't look like..." After 15 years, the man's midnight dream all these years would appear in his mind, but always It's like a layer of gauze is covered, and it's impossible to see clearly.

Lu Mo Ning said: "No hurry, just watch first."

The auction has officially started.

Duan Jinsong spent a lot of money this time, and naturally he brought good things. As a businessman, although Duan Jinsong was willing to spend the money, he didn't intend to suffer a loss. Therefore, if the auction was done well, he would not deficit.

Sure enough, because the things he brought were good, Duan Jinsong got a few of his own people in first, and started competing to take pictures.

With such a drive, there will be a good face, so naturally it will not be a disadvantage.

But within two hours, the two boxes of precious leathers brought by Duan Jinsong were auctioned off.

Duan Jinsong shook the bell in his hand, and went up to the pavilion: "Now...there is only the last one left. This is the most important thing today, and I promise to make this trip worthwhile for you all."

A certain squire: "What the hell is it? We are here this time, but we are all waiting to see your treasure, Mr. Duan...haha..."

A merchant: "That's right, Mr. Duan, you are not mean enough, you should be the first to auction, so we won't let us worry about it, right?"

"..."

Everyone was chattering, but Duan Jinsong was extremely calm: "This is not acceptable. If you take it out first, the others will become fish eyes. Are you still willing to ask for it? Then the old man will pay for it in blood this time." ah!"

With everyone laughing and laughing, it was even more lively.

Duan Jinsong waved his hand, he didn't hold back, and took out the things immediately.

The moment the red cloth was lifted, everyone couldn't help but gasped, it turned out to be a big piece of snow fox skin, the whole body was snow white, there was not a single variegation.

It is not difficult to find a snow fox, but what is hard to find is that there is not a single variegation. After all, a whole piece of fox fur, more or less, has some variegations, but the piece that Duan Jinsong took out is as What a rarity.

All the gentry and wealthy merchants looked straight at it. Since they can come to the leather auction, they naturally like this thing.

Immediately, I became impatient and began to bid.

Directly from 1000 taels to 1 taels...

But it slowed down.

After all, although leather is precious, buying a piece of leather with tens of thousands of taels makes many people hesitate.

Pei Chao looked at the snow-white skin, his eyes were flushed, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

This final piece of leather was requested by Lu Moning. During the previous conversation, Pei Chao once mentioned that when his father Pei Xiong went to a remote mountain, he needed money because of his poor health, so Pei Xiong went for a long time that time. After a while, I didn't expect to catch a rare snow fox.

At that time, Lu Mo Ning came to find Pei Chao after thinking that it might be because of the skin, and the other party thought of this paragraph in his memory.

Since the other party was able to get a piece of snow fox fur back then, he did not hesitate to go to Jiangqi Town.

Then the other party... probably couldn't help but want to take this piece into their pocket.

It's just that Pei Chao looked at the yelling people in the audience and shook his head one by one, no, no...it doesn't feel right...

Lu Mo Ning's brows were also frowned: Could it be... Is it really going to return without success this time?

Duan Jinsong felt that it was almost done, he raised his head and glanced in the direction of the third floor, and then he was about to shout, the highest bidder was 500 taels, a small official under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou Prefecture, unexpectedly The other party is willing.

Looking at the excited county magistrate, Lu Mo Ning frowned deeply.

The other party obviously couldn't be.

If the other party had the ability to bring up Chang Ronghuan as he did back then, he would not be just a county magistrate.

Chang Ronghuan also came this time, and only took a picture of an ordinary leather. Seeing the leather at this moment, he couldn't help being stunned for a while. He didn't recover for a long time, and then he quickly lowered his head and took a drink of tea. , just as no interest.

Just when Duan Jinsong shouted for the first time, the second time... Kankan was about to shout for the third time.

Suddenly, the door of the teahouse was pushed open from the outside.

A middle-aged man in a fine attire came in, wearing a jade crown and brocade attire, tall and slender, but his brows and eyes were too slender, giving people a sinister and treacherous feeling.

Seven or eight servants followed behind him, and directly pushed away Chang Ronghuan who was in the middle of the first row.

Chang Ronghuan was not depressed at first, but when he looked up and saw the other party, his legs softened, and he quickly nodded and bowed and stepped aside: "Master, I didn't expect that Master also came, please sit down... It's really good that Master can come... Come and visit us..."

Lu Mo Ning lowered his head, looked at the man who was about forty years old, and looked at Pei Chao: "Third Master, do you know him?"

Pei Chao stared at the other party and gritted his teeth: "A nest of snakes and mice, the younger brother who is now the head of the Xue family, known as Mr. Xue."

Lu Mo Ning frowned when he heard this name. After all, he was more sensitive to the surname Xue, so he couldn't help but think of Xue Silang and Xue Lin.

"The Xue family?" Lu Mo Ning has been investigating the case since he came to Ningzhou Mansion, and he doesn't know much about it.

"This Xue family is a local snake in Ningzhou Prefecture, and it is the same family as the Xue family in the capital. A few years ago, this Xue family had a noble concubine, who was even more in the spotlight... But they were the ones who hit the nail on the head. I heard that something happened to the Xue family in the capital some time ago. This person probably dealt with those things and didn't come out much. Now, I'm afraid it has been resolved."

When Pei Chao was in Changfu, he had seen Changrong Huan currying favor with the Xue family, and offered to show his favor more than once, but they just ignored him.Every time Chang Ronghuan went to invite people from Xue's family on his birthday, he would send invitations respectfully, but no one would come to the housekeeper to send congratulatory gifts, no one came at all.

Lu Mo Ning frowned, it seemed that he had really bumped into each other, all of them could bump into people from the Xue family in the capital.

Lu Mo Ning stared at the so-called Third Master Xue in Ningzhou, frowning tightly. Seeing that Pei Chao didn't react when he saw the other party, it seemed that the possibility of the other party was extremely low, and the other party's age was also not suitable.

It's just the identity of the other party... If it is the main family involved with the Xue family in the capital...

The other party has the ability to bury that incident back then.

But... is it possible?
