Chang'an City, East Market, is already bustling with lights.
As long as the curfew is not reached, the flow of people here will not stop.
The sounds of hawking, soliciting customers, and the laughter and curses of the old madam formed a beautiful scene in the East Market at night.
The Wei Family Auction opposite Yanlai Building will also hold a grand auction tonight!
Invitations have been sent out, and many dignitaries will be here tonight!
For tonight's auction, the Wei family has collected many exotic beauties, as well as young ladies from poor families who were sold into slavery. These are the favorite goods of those high-ranking officials, and they are also their means of making huge amounts of money. !
This kind of thing has been going on for a while, and the results are quite good. They are making a lot of money. Even if Yanlailou reopens and Luo Zhang returns, their business will not be affected too much. After all, men are very astringent. Yes, with such fresh products, who doesn’t want to try them!
Especially tonight, the stuff is top-notch!
At the eldest grandson's house, eldest grandson Wuji was throwing a cup and losing his temper.
"Can't find it? You told me that the eldest lady can't be found? What's the use of me? A bunch of wine bags and rice bags! Keep looking for me. If you can't find it, go and bury it with you!" Changsun Wuji kicked the housekeeper and said .
The housekeeper stumbled up and rushed out the door to find someone.
It was a coincidence that in the afternoon, the lady took a carriage to buy rouge and gouache, but the carriage driver was waiting outside the store and there was no one. Seeing that it was almost noon, she got off the car and went to the store to ask.
But unexpectedly, when I went to the store, the store manager said that their eldest daughter had left long ago!
This made the carriage driver a little confused. Why did the eldest lady leave without telling him.
I originally thought that the eldest lady didn't want to take the carriage and wanted to walk back by herself, but after the carriage driver returned, there was no news of the eldest lady's return.
However, the housekeeper didn't care. The eldest lady often did this before and would be back soon.
However, the eldest lady had not returned home until the afternoon, so the housekeeper panicked and sent people to search everywhere. The result was that there was no result, and there was no trace of the eldest lady at all.
According to the store manager, the eldest lady only stayed in the store for a while, bought something and then left.
It's already afternoon, it's been a few hours, I have to go home anyway.
When it was time to light the lamp, the eldest lady still hadn't returned home. The housekeeper knew that the matter could no longer be hidden, so he had to run to Changsun Wuji and report to him!
Not only the Changsun family, but also women from five or six big families in Chang'an City disappeared inexplicably after going out, and they could not be found at all.
The Changsun family kept this matter secret for fear of being embarrassed, but after those families couldn't find the person, they reported it to the Chang'an County Government. After all, a family member was missing, and she was still a young lady. It was not a trivial matter. If the Chang'an County Government couldn't help, who would Contribute!
As soon as the report was received, the news reached Li Yifu's ears!
Looking at the names of several major families written on a piece of paper in front of him, Li Yifu smiled slightly and murmured to himself: "Now the only one left is the eldest grandson. It seems that he will not come to me, so I will let you have a good time tonight." lively."
Thinking about the whole story, Li Yifu sincerely admired the master's intelligence. He could actually think of such a method. It was not only ruthless, but also poisonous. It was simply shameless and without limits. Compared with the master, those tricks of his were simply not good enough!
Li Yifu wrote some words on several pieces of paper, and then asked his subordinates to hand over these letters to the major families who came to him for help!
As for the eldest son's family, Li Yifu did not notify him at all. This was also what Luo Zhang told him. If the eldest son's family came to the county government to ask him for help, they would tell him. If he didn't come, he would go to hell!
At this time, Luo Zhang was lying outside the private room originally set up for King Wei on the fourth floor of Yanlai Building, drinking red wine and watching the Wei family auction opposite, which was booming and very lively, without any disturbance in his heart.
Zhao Tianhu stood aside and reported the situation.
"Brother, everything was done according to your instructions. I also informed Li Yifu of the news. As you guessed, those big families finally went to Li Yifu. Only the eldest son's family did not go. Li Yifu also complied with your request. , I wrote letters to those big families, but the Changsun family didn't go. I thought the Wei family auction would be lively tonight!" Zhao Tianhu was no worse shocked than Li Yifu. He was the first to know about it, and arranged it After seeing everything, he was amazed from beginning to end. Why couldn't he think of such a way?
Sometimes he wonders whether he is a gangster or Luo Zhang is a gangster. This is obviously the gangster's method. He is not as good as Luo Zhang. This shame is really lost to his grandma's house.
"The person you sent to arrest the person was not exposed, right?" Luo Zhang asked, putting down the jade cup.
"How could that be possible? The person I photographed was well dressed. Even if he were seen, he would not be recognized at all!" Zhao Tianhu said confidently.
"Then those who sent people to the Wei family auction, did you send them out of the city?" Luo Zhang asked again.
"We sent them all out of the city, gave them some money, and asked them to go to Luoyang to hide first. There is also our business there, so let them stay there to take care of business. It won't be too late to come back when the weather calms down! "Zhao Tianhu said with a smile.
"The prince bought all the shops in Luoyang?" Luo Zhang asked with a raised eyebrow.
After all, he has no business in Luoyang. If there is any business, it is only His Highness the Prince's barbecue shop, and since he has to provide ingredients for the Prince, the business there is naturally Luo Zhang's business!
"That's right, His Highness the Crown Prince has spent a lot of money. The shops in Chang'an City are already being decorated and will be opened soon. I heard that many servants of the Wei Palace have died in the past few days. I'm afraid they were all beaten to death by the King of Wei. !" Zhao Tianhu reported.
Luo Zhang shook his head slightly. With his help, if Li Chengqian could no longer defeat King Wei, there would be no need for support!
The King of Wei mentioned by Luo Zhang and Zhao Tianhu was also on the invitation list for the Wei Family Auction and was currently sitting in the most luxurious private room of the Wei Family Auction.
On the side, the head of the Wei family personally accompanied him, and several beautiful maids served him tea and water.
Looking at these maids in simple clothes, King Wei's boredom these days was relieved a little.
"I heard you have something good here tonight? You won't let me go all the way in vain, right?" King Wei squinted his eyes, but his hand did not stop, grabbing the maid's Banqiu, feeling the elasticity of the Banqiu.
"King Wei is just joking. How can I fool you with vulgar powder when I invite you here? If you get angry then, what good will it do to me?" The head of the Wei family said with a smile!
"Yes, it just so happens that I'm bored these days, so I might as well pick a few to go back to relieve my boredom!" King Wei nodded in agreement, feeling that the head of the Wei family was right.
At this time, a letter was also sent by Li Yifu to the heads of the major families of the missing ladies!
After seeing the letter sent by the Chang'an County Magistrate, one can imagine the anger in the hearts of these family heads.
At the same time, they can also understand the reason why the Chang'an County Magistrate only informed them of the news but did not take action. He really couldn't afford to offend the Wei family, and they had to rely on themselves if they wanted people!
For this, the heads of these big families are still very grateful. The Chang'an County Magistrate is different. Your subordinates are much more useful. It only took half a day to find someone. They are not like the trash at home. They still look like headless people. Look like flies!
Without saying anything, the heads of the seven or eight big families personally led a group of people and headed towards the Wei family auction.
At this time, the Wei Family Auction has begun, and it reaches its climax right from the start!
The first lot was an exotic Persian beauty.
This is the first time for many people to see such a beauty. Her eyes are all green and shining. They want to rush forward and have a taste of her right now.
And after this Persian beauty danced for a while, everyone in the audience went crazy. The enthusiasm for bidding did not need to be promoted by the host on stage.
Not only were the people in the stands constantly bidding, but the distinguished guests in the private rooms were also bidding, and the bidding was in full swing for a while!
In just a short while, the price soared to one hundred gold!
One hundred gold! That’s ten thousand taels!
Such a price for a Persian beauty is already considered a sky-high price. You must know that there are many such women in Persia, mainly because they have a long journey to the Tang Dynasty. If Luo Zhang's large sea-going ships are built, they can directly bring a few ships back and return them. Don’t make a lot of money?
