His Majesty is ill

Auction [Participating, ask for collection~] "The two young masters are here to participate in the auction, right?

Show me your pass, please. "

When the girl with a white lantern in her hand saw the two of them approaching, she immediately went up to meet them and smiled softly.

Hearing this, Mo Ming handed the two tokens to her.

The girl flipped through the two tokens made of pure gold in her hand, then raised her eyes to look at the two of them, and said with a bright smile: "The auction will start soon, please come with me, two gentlemen. The VIP seats are ready."

Immediately, she stretched out her hand and patted a few specific positions on the bronze door, and the thick bronze door in front of her quietly separated from the middle and slid to the two sides, revealing the door behind the door. Wait for the wooden floor walkway.

The girl stood by the door and made a gesture of "please come in" to the two. After the two entered the door, she walked in front of the two again and led the two to the private room they booked.

Following the girl into the gate of the auction house, the master and servant who had been walking in the dark for a long time were immediately dazzled by the sudden light.

After their eyes got used to the light inside, even if they came out of the imperial city, the two well-informed two couldn't help being amazed by what they saw.

Although from the outside, the restaurant used as a cover for the auction house was small and dilapidated, but the scale of the underground auction house was huge.

The entire auction house spiraled downwards in a circular shape. Counting from top to bottom, there were four floors in total, and each floor was built very wide. From a rough look, the entire auction house could probably accommodate thousands of people.

In the middle of the bottom floor is a large circular table, which is where the auction items are displayed.

In the middle of the table, there is a small square table with rosewood twirling branches and carvings. The table is covered with a layer of red velvet cloth. It is supposed to be the place where the auction items are placed.

On the same bottom floor as the main stage where the auction items are displayed, there is a circle of seats, which adopts a fully open design. Hundreds of seats are arranged tightly and densely together. This is for ordinary people to participate in the auction. , the person holding the copper pass is sitting here.

The upper floor is the seat for the person who gets the silver pass, which is also fully open design, but the difference from the basement floor is that there are not as many seats on this floor as the one above the line. There is a certain distance between each seat, and a small coffee table is added next to the seat, with exquisite snacks and tea placed on it. Generally, small businessmen with some wealth will choose this floor.

One floor up is the floor where Feng Konghua's seats are located, and only those with a golden pass can enter.

Unlike the fully open seats on the lower two floors, this floor is designed with semi-open small boxes.

Each box is exquisitely arranged, and there is no shortage of tables, chairs, tea, snacks, and even a soft couch that is recognized for rest.

Each box has a small window facing the main platform, through which people can observe the auction items, and each box is isolated independently, no one knows who is sitting in the next box who is it.

This level is also known as the VIP level, and those who can enter this level are almost all big businessmen with strong assets or bureaucrats and politicians in the middle and upper ranks.

And the topmost layer is even more mysterious, and it is not accessible to ordinary rich people or bureaucrats.

The top floor is the largest floor in the entire auction house, but there are only ten boxes in total, and each box is equivalent to the upper room of a luxury inn. There are everything that a normal bedroom should have here, and even each The box also has its own separate bathroom.

Moreover, the box on this floor is fully enclosed. There is a semi-circular terrace extending toward the booth, with tables and chairs on it. There is a layer of sheer curtain made of special material on the periphery of the terrace, where guests can sit The auction items on the booth can be clearly seen on the terrace, but people outside cannot see the people sitting in the box through the gauze curtain.

If you want to enter this level, you have to get a warrant made of high-quality rubies from the owner of the auction house. Generally, you can get someone who has a deep friendship with the boss or someone with an extremely noble status.

There are stairs between each floor to communicate with each other, but each passageway is guarded by masters with strong martial arts, and under normal circumstances, guests between the floors are not allowed to walk around at will.

It can be said that this auction house has done quite well in terms of security and confidentiality.

"Your master is really thoughtful. No wonder this auction house can become the largest and most popular auction house in the entire Qi Kingdom even though it is not located in the imperial city. Today is really an eye-opener."

Looking at the stage-by-stage and hierarchical venue settings in front of him, Feng Konghua squinted his eyes, and already set the boss of this auction house as the key investigation object in his heart.

Although he already had calculations in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face, and instead he praised with a smile.

"Young master is ridiculously praised, the young master has an extraordinary bearing, and he is the real dragon and phoenix among people.

If my master can hear it, he will be very happy too.

Ah, here is the private room booked by the two young masters, please come in. "

Hearing this, the girl leading the way turned her head and glanced at Feng Konghua, raised a bright smile, and answered the words in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

Immediately, she led the two of them a few steps forward, stopped in front of a private room door, and said while pushing the door.

"The villain Yuan Bao has seen the two sons."

Feng Konghua's master and servant followed the girl into this small box. As soon as they entered the door, there was a very clever boy who was about eleven or twelve years old and greeted them. The girl they entered said hello.

"After the auction starts, the child will introduce the basic information such as the source and value of each auction item to the two young masters in detail. If the two young masters need anything, they can tell him to do it.

The servant has to lead the way for other guests. If the two young masters have nothing else to say, the servant will leave first. "

Meeting the puzzled eyes of the two above, the girl chuckled, pointed at the little boy and explained to them.

Then he explained a few words to the boy, then bowed and retreated, closing the door behind him.

"Your name is quite pleasing, and doing things well later will not be without your benefits."

Although both of them disguised themselves after leaving the palace, it was really difficult to conceal the aura they carried.

Although he didn't make it clear just now, during the conversation, Feng Konghua still faintly heard that the girl who led the way had become suspicious of the identities of the two.

In order to further conceal his identity, after sitting down, Feng Konghua stuffed a piece of silver into the hand of the boy who was standing obediently by the side, deliberately pretending to be a prodigal son, and said a little richly .

"Thank you for the reward, Young Master. The villain must do things well for Young Master."

Suddenly a silver ingot was stuffed in his hand, and a gleam of joy flashed across the face of the child who was still a child. He forced himself to suppress his voice trembling with joy, and said respectfully.

His performance is like that of a child who is full of windfall and is ecstatic and has to suppress his joy because of the presence of the guests.

But a child is a child after all, and his acting skills are still not good enough. Although he appeared to be very realistic on the surface, he didn't take care of his eyes.

So he didn't know what was going on in his heart at all, and he was completely seen by the two people around him through his eyes.

"It's good to understand. If you help me take pictures of my favorite things today, I will reward you well."

Noticing the flash of disdain in the boy's eyes, Feng Konghua sneered in his heart, but didn't say anything.

He just said something with a chuckle, then turned his eyes away, and focused all his attention on the booth downstairs.

Although it was not too late for the two of them, it was not too early.

Almost not long after the two sat down, with the sound of a loud gong, the auction of the night officially started.

After the entire auction hall fell silent with the sound of the gong, a middle-aged man about 36 or [-] years old, wearing a gray brocade robe, walked up to the booth. This person should be the one who presided over the auction tonight.

"Welcome all guests to participate in tonight's auction, and hope that every guest can take pictures of their favorite treasures.

Let me introduce the rules of this auction to all guests. "

After the middle-aged man stepped onto the stage, he first bowed down and bowed to the guests, and then began to introduce the rules of the auction to everyone, "After each auction item is on the stage, we will introduce the auction item to all the guests. Basic information, after the introduction of the exhibits, the guests can bid. There is no limit to the number of price increases for each customer. When no one continues to increase the price, the guest with the highest bid will get the auction item.

After the normal auction is over, someone will take the guests to collect the treasures that you have auctioned, and you can take the treasures back after paying the purchase price.

All auctions in this auction site are based on the principle of openness and fairness. Malicious price hikes and damage to exhibits are prohibited. Once such situations occur, the troublemaker will be immediately disqualified from the auction and compensated according to the loss.

Alright, now that all the guests know the rules of our auction house, then, this auction will officially begin. "

As soon as the man finished speaking, a beautiful woman in a red brocade dress with long hair hanging down her waist came up holding a tray covered in red velvet, which was always the first auction item.

After the woman put the tray in her hand on the red sandalwood square table for displaying the auction items, the middle-aged man walked over and lifted the red flannel covering the auction items, revealing a pair of hands that were as long as two palms. The dagger studded with gemstones of various colors, said loudly: "This is the first auction item, and it is the dagger that belonged to Wuying, the most famous assassin in the previous dynasty.

This dagger was once ranked in the top ten positions in the Jianghu weapon list. Not only is it extremely sharp, it can be said to cut iron like mud, but it is made of special materials and is itself poisonous. Using it to kill people is definitely a Killed by shooting, I don't know how many martial arts masters died under this dagger back then.

Since Wuying's death, this dagger has also disappeared. People have been trying to find its whereabouts for a hundred years, but they have found nothing. Only recently did someone find this lost sharp weapon and send it to us for auction.

Dear guests, even if you ignore the lethality of this dagger itself, its historical value and all kinds of rare gems inlaid on it are enough capital to be looted.

I won't say much below, all guests can start bidding, the base price is 500 taels of gold, and each increase is 100 taels of gold, now the bidding starts, is there any customer who wants to increase the price? "
