Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 109 The auction begins

"It's a pity that this person can't be used by me..."

In the Zihuan Hall, Zhao Yu sighed as he looked at the memorial in his hand.

There is also a folk saying that Qin Hui has three good friends. He can't ask Huang Jingming not to have any loyal subordinates.

"Your Majesty, what should be done with the body of Wang Duruo?"

Du Yu, a Hanlin scholar, asked.

Today he is on duty at Zihuandian, where Zhao Yu can consult.

"I am issuing an edict to let Generals Fan and Fang bury Wang Duruo's body alive according to his last wishes. In addition, let the historian of the Publications Bureau record the facts according to the facts without any tampering or deletion. Even if this loyal minister and good general is not loyal to me, I still believe that he is loyal to me. I appreciate it. I just lament that I have no connection with this Mr. Wang."

Zhao Yu said with emotion.

"Your Majesty is truly a holy king!"

Du Yu felt extremely excited when he heard what Zhao Yu said.

An emperor with such a big heart will definitely be able to accomplish great things, and under the command of such an emperor, he will definitely be able to display his talents and leave his name in history!
After reviewing the memorial, it was getting late.

Accompanied by Gao Lishi, Zhao Yu came to Nuanchun Pavilion, where Yin Hanhan and Bai Qing'er were already waiting eagerly.

The reason is simple.

Today is the first day of the auction.

The two sisters looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally this day came!
Zhao Yu took a thin human skin mask from Yin Hanhan and said to Gao Lishi on the side:
"Lishi, I and my two beloved concubines are leaving the palace, so you can stay in the palace. If a minister comes to see me, remember to cover it up for me. If there is any news in the court, don't blame me for not telling the truth. Servant’s face!”

When Gao Lishi heard this, his face suddenly turned into a bitter melon face, and he begged;
"Your Majesty, let me follow you. At least you can help your Majesty. Both ladies are nobles and cannot do menial work. Besides, my martial arts skills are pretty good. If something happens, I can help you. Block it. Moreover, this slave has been in the palace since she was a child, and she has grown so big that she has not even recognized her in the streets and alleys of the divine capital city."

The job His Majesty gave me was obviously a chore.

Which of the ministers whom Your Majesty has your trust in now is easy to fool?

If he didn't cover up a bad thing, he might be scolded by these ministers at the court meeting the next day.

Although it was an honor for them as slaves to take the blame for His Majesty, Gao Lishi really didn't want this honor this time.

Isn’t the auction held in this divine capital city delicious?
The two empresses couldn't stand it in this deep palace. Could it be that Gao Lishi could bear it?

Bai Qing'er saw through Gao Lishi's thoughts at a glance, covered her mouth and said with a sweet smile:
"Gao Da Diao Ju, you have forgotten His Majesty's martial arts. Among the four of us, only Gao Da Diao Ju and Chen Concubine are the worst in martial arts. So, I'd better let Chen Concubine accompany Your Majesty. Master is teaching. When I was a concubine and a senior sister, I had never been used to it. She was not the kind of boudoir lady who had no fingers in the spring water. She was still capable of serving people. As for the tall Diao Jue, she should just keep an eye on the house for His Majesty. Do you think so? No, Your Majesty?"

Both Yin Hanhan and Bai Qing'er respect Gao Lishi, Zhao Yu's confidant eunuch, so they don't call him "Eunuch Gao" but "Gaoda Diaoju".

Gao Lishi was quite unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of Bai Qing'er, Zhao Yu's favorite concubine.

"Okay, Lux, you guys, don't you know what Xiao Jiujiu is beating? Just stay in the palace!"

Zhao Yu smiled and cursed, and put the human skin mask on his face.

In the blink of an eye, he changed from a handsome young man to a yellow-faced man with a scar at the corner of his left eye.

"Your Majesty, I almost didn't recognize you!"

Looking at the strange man in front of her, Yin Hanhan said in surprise.

In her eyes, Zhao Yu turned into a rough man about thirty years old, with a rough bronze face with pits and a three-inch scar below the corner of his left eye. He looked like a murderous and arsonist gangster. appearance.

Coupled with Zhao Yu's handsome and upright figure, there is an indescribable wildness beyond the northern wall.

Zhao Yu looked into the mirror that Bai Qing'er brought and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's almost time, let's leave now. I remember that He Bayun set the auction location at Chu Yulou. We should go there early, otherwise there will be a lot of traffic and people in front of Chu Yulou."

"The minister and concubine follow the order."

Watching Zhao Yu and the others disappear into the night, Gao Lishi wanted to cry but had no tears.

Forget it, let's think about what you should do if a minister really wants to report to His Majesty.

Otherwise, just say that His Majesty has gone to bed?
Not to mention how Gao Lishi was struggling in the palace, Zhao Yu relied on his own spiritual sense to lead the two girls Yin and Han to avoid the guards patrolling at night without any danger, and in a remote place, they jumped up to the tall palace. wall, and then jumped down.

"Since I entered this imperial city, I have almost never left the palace. Speaking of which, when I was the Marquis, I only entered the Shenjing City along the royal road, but I have never visited the Shenjing City."

On one side of the street, looking at the various people coming and going, Zhao Yu whispered.

Yin Hanhan smiled and whispered in Zhao Yu's ear.

"Your Majesty, after leaving this palace, Your Majesty can no longer call himself me."

Zhao Yu smiled heartily and said:
"What my concubine said is that from now on, you and Qing'er will just call me Young Master. As for the surname, Young Master Guan is good."

Yin Hanhan pursed her lips and smiled.

"My family's surname is Yang. Junior sister, what about you?"

"My family name is Qing'er, but I have concealed my last name. Mr. Guan, how about my sister and I who are both his maids?"

Bai Qing'er rolled her eyes and said this.

"Okay, it's Yi Qing'er's." Zhao Yu nodded repeatedly.

The three of them finished their discussion and followed the flow of people in the direction of Chu Yulou.

Standing on the East Street outside the imperial city, Chu Yulou, the largest restaurant in Shenjing, has lit up the red lanterns one by one, making the surroundings of the restaurant look like daylight. On this snowy night, it is even more so. It looks extremely dazzling.

As night fell, many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen arrived one after another in sedan chairs or carriages.

Most of them were dressed in gold and silver and looked elegant. Under the guidance of the servants responsible for reception, they led their families in.

Not long after, another group of dandy boys riding tall horses came to Chu Yulou. They threw the reins into the hands of the boy and the horseman who had been waiting for a long time, and strode into Chu Yulou.

In a tea stall not far from Chu Yulou, there were many ordinary people drinking tea looking at the Chu Yulou where people were coming and going, and they were talking about it.

"Look at this posture, Chu Yulou is probably doing a big deal tonight!"

"I guess it's probably some high official or general who wants to celebrate his birthday!"

"I also think that this is the case in all likelihood. Otherwise, how could there be such a pomp, with so many dignitaries and dignitaries coming to support it."

Everyone, you looked at me and said it.

"Dear guests, please allow me to say a few words."

The waiter at the tea stall shouted loudly, and when the people in the stall saw him speaking, they stopped talking and looked at him. "I just went to inquire with the guy from Chu Yulou."

"There is some kind of auction in Chu Yulou tonight. It is said that it was held by Heba Yunheba Pavilion Master of the Editorial Office at the behest of His Majesty."

"Oh, I'll just say it!"

"What's new about this auction?"

Speaking of He Ba Yun He Ba Pavilion Master of Jishi Mansion, everyone immediately reacted.

This man did a great job a year ago. He investigated all the corrupt officials who had protected the rebel king, which was very satisfying.

But, what is this auction?
"Brother, do you know?"

"I've never heard of this!"

Everyone looked at the waiter again.

"The guy from Chu Yulou said: The auction is to bring out a rare object. Anyone who wants it can bid, and the one with the highest price will get it."

Having said this, the waiter showed a happy smile on his face.

"Everyone must not forget that Pavilion Master Heba checked several companies a year ago. This is called taking from the people and using it for the people."

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly realized.

While people in Shenjing City were talking a lot, the Chuyu Tower was already full of distinguished guests. Countless dignitaries were sitting around in the hall on the first floor and in the boxes on the second to fourth floors. They were looking at the auction list in their hands and talking with their family members and friends. Upcoming auction.

The internal structure of the entire Chu Yu Tower is generally similar to an ancient Chinese patio. The three floors from the second to the fourth floors only have a circle of private rooms around them, and the middle area is completely empty. People in the private rooms are condescending and can have an unobstructed view of the lobby on the first floor.

But sitting on the first floor, I couldn't see clearly what was in the rooms on the floors above, and I didn't even know who was sitting in the box.

As the time approached, there was a sound of silk and bamboo in the Chu Yu Tower. At the same time, countless maids in uniform costumes appeared in front of everyone and began to decorate the center of the first floor.

All this was completed in a short period of time, and when everyone reacted, two stunning beauties wearing one white and one red palace attire were left standing on a circular booth.

"This person in red palace clothes seems to be Youwei's aunt named Zou?"

After seeing the two women on the booth clearly, Zhao Yu, who was sitting in the box on the fourth floor, rubbed his eyes subconsciously.

Doesn’t it seem bad for this person to be so public?
"Don't worry, young master, my uncle is bored in the palace, so he specially asked Commander Zhang to ask the Lord Heba for help." Bai Qing'er explained softly.

"Uncle? Is this Zou your sisters' uncle?"

Zhao Yu glanced at the two women suspiciously.

He seemed to have discovered something remarkable.

Realizing that she had accidentally let something slip, Bai Qing'er stuck out her tongue, pointed downwards and began to change the topic.

"Look, sir, the first auction is about to begin."

"Hmph, it seems that I want to find an opportunity to interrogate you two."

Zhao Yu just hummed softly, followed the donkey downhill, and turned his attention to the auction again.

There is no party outside the party, and the emperor thinks; there is no faction inside the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.

Everywhere, people will be divided into small groups based on their positions or interests.

Zhao Yu had already prepared for this. As long as these small groups did not affect the operation of the entire Dachu, he would turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't see it.

As far as this auction was concerned, Tuoba Yun lived up to his word and arranged the scene in a decent manner.

"Hello all guests, I am Zou Wanqing, and I am also one of the auctioneers in today's auction. Next to me is Liu Xuewei, the oiran of Zuijin Tower. This time, I and sister Xuewei will host the auction. meeting."

Under the influence of internal energy, Zou Wanqing's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by the entire Chu Yu Tower guests.

Everyone fell silent instantly.

"The Nu family is very honored to be able to host this auction together with Sister Zou. Everyone here will feel that it was a worthwhile trip when the auction is over."

Liu Xuewei said softly.

"Perhaps there are guests who haven't read the booklet introducing the rules and procedures of the auction, so I'll explain it to you again."

Zou Wanqing smiled and said to Yan Yan, her whole body was like a blooming red peony, making people unable to take their eyes away.

"Each lot has a minimum starting price and a limit on the amount of each increase. If you keep holding the sign in your hand, it means you increase the minimum amount once.

If you are the only one on the field raising a card, it will no longer be an increase, but the result of your last increase.As the auctioneer, I will have three opportunities to bid.If no one competes with you in the third bid, the auction items will belong to you.

Of course, you can also bid according to your wishes, but the bid must exceed the minimum markup.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone what a malicious bidding is. If the bidding is successful but there is not enough money to pay the bidding amount, it will be regarded as a malicious bidding, and you will be responsible for the consequences.I hope everyone will do what they can and don’t get angry over a single auction item. "

"That's all for me. Now, I would like to invite Sister Xuewei to show you the first lot."

As Zou Wanqing finished speaking, Liu Xuewei picked up a land deed from the tray held by the maid on the side and waved it around.

"The land deed in the hands of the slave family is the first auction item today. The rebel king Huang Jingming is located in the palace of Prince Taihe in Shenjing City. The palace of Prince Taihe covers an area of ​​250 acres, with 480 seven buildings and complete pavilions and pavilions. Because of He Lord Ba Pavilion was extremely careful when searching his house, so it was very well preserved. This palace is one of the most beautiful and geographically located in Shenjing City. Anyone can participate in the bidding. If the bidding is successful, the troops of the five cities will be The Department of Justice, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice will personally hand over Prince Taihe's Mansion to your hands."

"Okay, this is the general situation of Prince Taihe's Mansion. You can also see its relevant information in the brochure. In this auction, the first lot, Prince Taihe's Mansion, has a starting price of one hundred thousand yuan. Each time the price is increased, it must not be less than [-] yuan!"

"The auction starts now!"

As Liu Xuewei finished speaking, the entire Chu Yu Tower fell silent.

Although what she said was indeed very provocative, many people still did not understand the rules of the auction and chose to wait and see.

"Sir, this first lot won't just go unsold, right?"

Looking at Chu Yulou who was silent, Yin Hanhan showed worry on his face.

She had overheard her uncle mention that the Master Heba Pavilion, or His Majesty, had offered a one percent cut to the two hosts in order to mobilize the hosts' enthusiasm. .

"Wen'er just put your heart in your belly."

Zhao Yu smiled slightly, without any nervousness on his face.

"This is just the calm before the storm."
