Chi Chao raised the Gentleman's Sword that he had been holding in his hand and hidden in his sleeve. Just above is a skylight, and the sunlight shines on the sword, reflecting its noble white color.
"Hey!" Everyone took a breath.
The scabbard made of ivory shone with a flawless white halo in the sunlight, the entire piece of white suet jade was polished into a warm and cool hilt, and even the sword tassel was woven from colorful sky silk.
"Hey!" Chi Chaan unsheathed his sword, and ripples flowed on the sword. This was a phenomenon that could only be seen with the top-grade soul guidance material Jiuyun Langtie.
The clear sword sound echoed throughout Yufangzhai, and everyone was shocked again and again.
Chi Chao waved his sword as thin as a cicada's wing several times in the void, making no sound.
The gentleman's sword comes out quietly and silently.
"You all know what this sword is used for. I am auctioning it now with a base price of fifty thousand taels of gold and one penny. I am sure that you will not encounter someone selling his Gentleman's Sword for the second time in your life. It cannot be auctioned. Shooting depends entirely on your own will."
Chi Chao said loudly.
He who holds the gentleman's sword can make a request to the court. And Guangxi will do its best to meet this request.
To date, only four people have been awarded the Gentleman's Sword. One is the sword god Kuangsan, the other is Jing Lanting, the illegitimate son of Qinggui Jinghou who fought back the 100,000 soldiers of the desolate country with his sharp tongue, the other is the former Nanling King, and this last person is the current guardian. He became the majestic "Nanling King" of Gui Kingdom.
At that time, Jing Lanting used the Junzi Sword to ask Emperor Gui to become the next marquis of the Qinggui Hou Mansion, and Emperor Gui agreed. You must know that only the eldest son can inherit the title, and an illegitimate son has no chance to inherit the title. And he succeeded and became the Jinghou he is today. His descendants will also inherit his title, but the original eldest son of Jinghou has become a commoner.
Not all titles in the Gui Kingdom are hereditary from generation to generation. Generally, titles can only be inherited by father and son, and will be taken back by the grandchildren. Doing this will prevent everyone in a family from enjoying themselves simply because of their merits, and will allow them to pay more attention to the cultivation of their children.
The only people who can inherit the title from generation to generation are the descendants of Bagui and the Nanling King who contributed to the founding of Gui.
"Fifty thousand and one taels of gold!"
"Fifty thousand and one taels of gold!"
"Fifty thousand and one hundred taels of gold!"
…
"Sixty thousand taels of gold!"
The bids were getting higher and higher, and many people were whispering to the waiters at their side, telling them to return home immediately to get more money.
Every bidding sound was like an invisible slap on Hao Fuyou's face, but he did not leave in shame.
"You really think what I just said was a joke!" Hao Fuyou said fiercely. "Besides, you don't want to think about how he has a gentleman's sword?"
The bidders were momentarily frightened by him. After all, it would be terrible to offend a chamber of commerce president. Moreover, the origin of Junzi Sword is unknown.
"What? I frightened you with just one sentence? When the time comes and you take advantage of someone, it will be too late for you to regret it." Chi Chaan said to everyone. "I can guarantee that this gentleman's sword belongs to me. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to pull it out."
The gentleman's sword is a spiritual weapon, and only the person to whom it belongs can pull it out. No one else can pull it out without the permission of the person to whom it belongs.
"You mean I will shoot your gentleman's sword? Ridiculous!" Hao Fuyou said contemptuously.
"You can buy my Junzi Sword. As long as your price is high enough, the Junzi Sword will be yours." Chi Chaan said with a smile.
Hao Fuyou hesitated: "Do you allow me to bid?"
"Of course! Anyone here can take the photo. As long as he has enough money."
The reason why Hao Fuyou photographed Rouruo was to please King Nanling, so that he could get an official position in the court through King Nanling's relationship. And Chi Chaan's Junzi Sword allows him to directly obtain a hereditary title, which is even better than being a minor official below the fifth rank. He had already decided in his heart that he would get the Gentleman's Sword even if he spent his entire fortune.
"One hundred thousand taels of gold!" After hearing Chi Chaan's words, Chang Linfeng immediately joined the bidding. He did this because although he was the son of Duke Changlin, he was not his legitimate son, and the title of Duke would not be passed on to him. Now, as long as he spends a lot of money, he can get a hereditary marquis position. At that time, he will be the youngest person in the history of Gui to become a marquis. His status in the family was equal to that of the Duke's heir.
"One hundred and ten thousand taels of gold!" Hao Fuyou immediately increased the price.
"One hundred and twenty thousand taels of gold!" Chang Linfeng chased after him.
"Twenty-five thousand gold!"
"Twenty-six thousand gold!"
…
The two of them kept adding one thousand and one thousand gold, and they became more and more enthusiastic. Many people gave up following the shooting. The funds in their hands were obviously not as good as those of the Aristocratic Family and Gui Guo First Chamber of Commerce.
"140,000 taels of gold!" Chang Linfeng mentioned a lot at once, because his bottom line was 150,000 taels of gold, and he wanted to put pressure on Hao Fuyou and force Hao Fuyou to give up voluntarily.
But he found the wrong person. Hao Fuyou had been struggling in the business world for so many years, and he could tell at a glance that Chang Linfeng could no longer hold on. Now he is deliberately raising the auction price to make it look like he still has a lot of spare money.
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold!" Hao Fuyou shouted.
Chang Linfeng instantly collapsed to the ground after hearing Hao Fuyou's quotation.
Am I going to lose? Chang Linfeng said in pain. Is it possible that I have no connection with the Marquis?
"Do you want to borrow money? Fifty thousand taels of gold. If you don't want it, I will lend it to Master Hao." Chi Chaan walked to the despairing Chang Linfeng.
"I'll lend it, don't lend it to him!" Chang Linfeng said urgently.
"I can lend it to you, but I have to borrow one in exchange for two. Are you okay with that?" Chi Chaan smiled.
"You are taking advantage of the situation!"
"Whether you want it or not, I'm just waiting for your words." Chi Chaan gestured to walk towards Hao Fuyou.
"Yes, I want it!" Chang Linfeng said with determination.
"Then write an IOU."
Chang Linfeng took a piece of white paper, bit his finger and wrote an IOU of one hundred thousand taels of gold on the paper, and then stamped it with the official seal.
"I wish you success!" Chi Chaan folded the IOU and put it in his pocket, and then gave the fifty thousand taels of gold to Chang Linfeng as he wished.
Chang Linfeng was overjoyed when he received the voucher and walked proudly to Hao Fuyou.
"My boss, Lin Feng, bids 200,000 taels of gold! No matter how strong your chamber of commerce is, how can you come up with more than 200,000 taels of working capital at once? Give up, old man! It's ridiculous to compare with me. Ha! Ha! Ha!"
On the fourth floor of Yufangzhai, Lin Xingshou has been observing the auction from the beginning. That boy was not ordinary and special. At his age, he shouldn't have such a temperament. It's like the person from before is back.
A few months ago, she discovered that Chi Chaan had fallen into the water, but she did not rescue him at that time. By the time Yu Wenyu picked him up from the river and brought him to the palace for treatment, it had been more than an hour since he had drowned in the water. Can a mortal hold his breath in water for an hour? There is a big secret here.
Chi Chaan didn't know that Lin Xingshou was already extremely interested in him at this moment. Chi Chaan was still waiting for her to make a move.
"Chang Linfeng! You have angered me! From now on, there will be no more cooperation between the Fuyou Chamber of Commerce and the Changlin Government!" Hao Fuyou's statue of Maitreya Buddha disappeared and became more like Wei Tuo, "Everyone, lend me money Hao Fuyou. I’ll borrow one and pay back three!”
There is money to be made, why would the spectators not enjoy it? They all walked towards Hao Fuyou.
"That's enough!" Suddenly there was a slight scolding from upstairs, "This farce should be over. I will give Rouruo to Mr. Chi, and there is no need for others to take pictures. Take the gentleman's sword back, Mr. Chi."
"Why?" Hao Fuyou asked in confusion, "This is against the rules of Yufangzhai!"
"Rules? I am the rule of Yufangzhai! If you think I want to steal the Junzi Sword for myself, I will steal the Junzi Sword for myself. Do you still want to steal it with me?" Lin Xingshou said domineeringly.
"Don't dare!" Hao Fuyou was extremely unwilling, but still gave in. He did not dare to challenge Yufangzhai's authority.
"It seems that you have no objection. Then, Rouruo, bring Mr. Chi to the fourth floor."
"Yes, mother." Rouruo was a little happy that she could be with Chi Chaan.
Halfway through, Chi Chaan stopped and said to Chang Lin Feng behind him: "Master Chang Lin, don't forget that you owe me one hundred thousand taels of gold. I will ask for it from you in a few days, so don't lie. I have real evidence. Otherwise Your father-in-law has lost all face."
Chang Linfeng has already lost the face of the government. If he makes the government and the Oil-rich Chamber of Commerce hostile, the government will definitely punish him severely. His face turned red, but he didn't dare to say anything. Otherwise, he will embarrass the government even more.
However, Chi Chaan continued as he went upstairs: "I'm so smart to earn 100,000 taels of gold from 50,000 taels of gold. But why didn't I say that I would borrow one and pay three back? With his stupidity at the time, he would definitely accept it. Then I Now I only earn 150,000 taels of gold! How stupid! How stupid!"
Anyone can tell that he is really talking about Chang Linfeng.
"Pfft!" Chang Linfeng couldn't hold back the anger in his chest any longer. He spat out a burst of blood and fainted to the ground.
