A water bird flew across the sky, its sharp wings piercing the paper-thin white clouds, just like Lin Sui'an's state of mind at that moment - cracked.
auction? ! This brat most likely wants the major families to be suspicious of each other, compete viciously, and finally squander everything! What a loss!
Sure enough, it should be chopped cleanly.
Because she was sitting next to Jiang Qiniang, Ling Zhiyan couldn't express her opinions and could only send a signal of concern with her eyes. Jin Ruo crushed the snack and Hua Yitang blinked, shaking her fan and smiling like a flower.
Lin Sui'an knew for sure: Look at this dude's evil look, he must have come up with some bad idea.
Wan Lin slapped the table: "Dali Temple has found out the truth of the case a long time ago. Don't talk nonsense here, otherwise Jingzhao Mansion will definitely punish you for making lies and deceiving the public!"
"Wan Shenjun, please be patient and listen to Yun Mou clearly. The truth I told you is Jiang Dongyi's motive for killing." Yun Zhongyue took out the "sale item" in his arms and held it up high, "That's it!"
There was silence in the admiring building for a moment.
Lin Sui'an noticed that when the scroll appeared, everyone's expressions were more or less confused. Only Su Yiyun suddenly straightened his back and his eyes were frighteningly bright.
"Is this the scroll book that Hua Shilang talked about when he solved the case at Fan Bajia?" Bai Ruyi said, "I remember that the title of the book seems to be - Flowers bloom and must be broken."
Yun Zhongyue's slender smiling eyes suddenly became rounded, as if she was stunned.
"Isn't this broken book in Hanashiro's hands? How did it end up in your hands?" Bai Xiang asked.
Hua Yitang glanced sideways at Yun Zhongyue: "A few days ago when Hua went out, she was robbed by a thief. She lost a few unimportant things. Shopkeeper Yun, couldn't you have stolen them?"
Wan Lin: "What?! This person is a thief?!"
Yun Zhongyue's eyelids moved and slowly became slender, "Huashiro, you have really wronged Yun. I bought this scroll with real money, but now I think about it, the person who sold me the scroll is really There were some suspicious behaviors. I originally thought he found the contents in the scroll book too shocking, so he was eager to take action——"
"Wait a minute!" Bai Xiang regained his composure, "What kind of shocking content is this?"
"It is closely related to everyone here, and every word is priceless." Yun Zhongyue said with a smile, "Yun can say that whoever gets this scroll can become the head of the five surnames and seven sects! Such a good opportunity is rare in a thousand years. ah!"
Everyone looked shocked, their eyes were shining, and they were obviously interested. Su Yiyun seemed to want to say something, glanced at Hua Yitang, and then held it back.
Jiang Qiniang's eyes sparkled and she said "oh".
Ling Zhi's face was so painful that water dripped from her face.
Suddenly, Hua Yitang laughed softly, with a strange and sinister smile. Everyone got goosebumps all over their bodies because of his laughter, and they looked at each other with hesitant expressions.
Bai Xiang: "Kashiro, why are you smiling so charmingly?"
Hua Yitang: "Laugh at funny people and laugh at funny things."
Wan Lin: "Has Hanashiro read this scroll?"
Hua Yitang: "I've seen it."
Bai Ruyi: "What is the content of the book?"
Bai Xiang: "Is it really so valuable?"
"Let's divide it among people," Hua Yitang leaned on the sofa and said with his palm on his chin, "For example, to the Bai family of Longxi, it is worthless, but to the Bai family of Qingzhou, it is probably worth a few cents. "
"What do you mean, Hanashiro, do you look down on me?" Bai Xiang stood up and said, "Okay! I bought this book! I'll pay for it!"
Hua Yitang laughed even louder, and Yun Zhongyue's face stiffened, "I said before, this scroll is priceless——"
Bai Xiang: "Hanashiro also said that this shabby book is worthless at all. If you can, open the scroll book and let us take a look!"
Su Yiyun: "That's right! Since it's an auction, you can't just rely on the seller's dictation. You should at least let the buyer inspect the goods!"
As soon as he said this, Lin Sui'an's scalp almost exploded. Jin Ruo took a breath of cold air. Ling Zhiyan flew out a knife and stabbed it into Hua Yitang's forehead. On the other hand, Hua Yitang still looked so carefree. He said, "Shopkeeper Yun, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you let them inspect the goods, your goods will be worthless."
Ling Zhiyan and Jin Ruo's eyes widened, and Lin Sui'an suddenly understood Hua Yitang's plan.
He is trying to engage in psychological warfare.
Although Yun Zhongyue is unstable, he is definitely not stupid. The scrolls are related to the secret histories of scandals in major aristocratic families. Any page in it may be used to manipulate the aristocratic families. But the premise is that the contents of this book must be kept secret.
Only the fewer people know about it, the higher the value of this secret. If one more person knows, the value will be less, and Yun Zhongyue will be more dangerous. If everyone knew about it, not only would Yun Zhongyue not be able to earn a penny, but she would also become a target of public criticism and be hunted to death.
Hua Yitang decided on this point and concluded that Yun Zhongyue could not let buyers "inspect the goods."
Besides, if Yun Zhongyue really wanted to make the secret public, he would have made it public a few days ago, so there is no need to bother arranging this party. And judging from his performance just now, as long as he is not forced into a desperate situation, he will not drag everyone into trouble.
Therefore, the best solution is to find a way to dissuade others from being interested in Zhu Shu, first to keep Zhu Shu from falling into the first place, and at the same time to stabilize Yun Zhongyue, and then look for opportunities to trade privately.
Bai Xiang scratched his head: "Why is it not valuable to inspect goods? Is this book useless after reading it once?"
Hua Yitang smiled but didn't answer.
Bai Ruyi quickly tugged on Bai Xiang's sleeve and whispered, "Huashiro is such a smart man. If this scroll was really as valuable as Shopkeeper Yun said, he would have bid for it long ago. You see, Huashiro has no intention of buying it now." The intention shows that this scroll of books is not valuable at all."
Bai Xiang sat back slowly, thought for a while, nodded and said: "Sure enough, Thirteenth Lang, you didn't read your book in vain. What you said makes sense! The Hua family are all very good at monkeys. If it is really beneficial, they will definitely I won’t give it to anyone else! There’s a fraud involved!”
Su Yiyun looked at Hua Yitang suspiciously.
Hua Yitang said with a bright business smile, "Ah, my conscience, Hua doesn't know anything."
Su Yiyun frowned for a long time and sat back.
Lin Sui'an and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Hua Yitang's image of only taking advantage and not suffering any losses was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone was frightened by him, so they were able to win the game.
Yun Zhongyue's slender eyes raised, "Huashiro, are you being a little unkind?"
Hua Yitang shook his fan: "To each other."
Yun Zhongyue sneered and turned her attention to Jiang Qiniang: "Is the Jiang family of Qianzhou interested in this scroll?"
Ling Zhiyan's eyelids twitched slightly, Hua Yitang's smile remained unchanged, and she tightened her grip on the fan. Lin Sui'an calmly grabbed Qian Jing under the desk. Jin Ruo put his hands behind his back and gave the Jing Sect disciple behind him a string of glances. Unintelligible gestures.
"Ah? You ask me?" Jiang Qiniang seemed a little confused, "I just came to see the excitement, I didn't bring any money."
Yun Zhongyue: "I can trust the Jiang family in Qianzhou. Jiang Qiniang can pay on credit."
Jiang Qiniang: "If it's too expensive, I can't afford it on credit."
Yun Zhongyue's eyes fell on Hua Yitang, and he twisted the corners of his mouth, revealing a malicious smile, "If Jiang Qiniang is sincere, and I suffer a little loss, I can just sell it for the same amount of money!"
grass!
Is Yun Zhongyue seeing the deal failing, willing to lose money or disgusting them to death?
Lin Sui'an felt alarm bells ringing in his heart. It would be fine if it was the real Jiang family of Qianzhou. Hua Yitang joined forces with her, and with the help of Jingmen, they were still able to fight, but it was Jiang Qiniang who couldn't take action at all.
Now I just ask the dignified king of the country not to be so boring——
"Huajia Silang, lend me a lot of money and I will pay you back someday." Jiang Qiniang's eyes were bright and she looked eager to try.
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Bai Xiang raised his eyebrows with joy and patted Bai Ruyi's shoulder wildly, "Thirteenth Master, you are right, that old book is indeed worthless." Wan Lin looked at Ling Zhiyan with a solemn expression, his expression thoughtful, Su Yiyun's eyes were on Hua Yitang He and Jiang Qiniang's faces turned around, not knowing what they were thinking.
Hua Yitang's expression management is indeed at the level of a king. The knuckles holding the fan are turning green, but the smile is still impeccable, and even the voice is flawless, "Jiang Qiniang is very polite. I only have money. I will treat you as Shiro's filial piety and drink tea." Mu Xia, prepare some money for Shopkeeper Yun."
Mu Xia brought the tray with money to Yun Zhongyue. Yun Zhongyue bumped the copper coins in her hands and was about to put the scroll into the tray. Suddenly, she took it back and looked at Hua Yitang and said , "I'd better give it to Jiang Qiniang in person so I can rest assured."
After saying that, he stood up slowly, deliberately slowing down, and walked towards Jiang Qiniang in square steps. With every step he took, Hua Yitang's smile faded a little, and Yun Zhongyue's eyes moved from Hua Yitang to Lin Sui'an's face. On top of that, the curvature of the corners of the mouth is annoying no matter how you look at it.
It's just a naked provocation!
Lin Sui'an took Qianjing out of its sheath and slowly unsheathed it half an inch.
Suddenly, Hua Yitang pressed Lin Sui'an's wrist with his hand, turned his eyes left and right twice, and pointed in the direction of Ling Zhiyan. Lin Sui'an was startled, but saw Ling Zhiyan turned to look at them and quickly moved away. look.
Hua Yitang blinked at Lin Sui'an.
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Good guy, she finally understands Jin Ruo's pain now. Can you two stop whispering with your eyes? What do you want to do? Make a noise!
Yun Zhongyue hesitated for a long time, and finally walked up to Jiang Qiniang, smiled and presented the scroll with the message, "Please take a look at Jiang Qiniang."
Jiang Qiniang smiled and nodded, but made no move. Instead, the soft-armored guard behind her stood up and stepped forward to take the scroll.
At this moment, Lin Sui'an had an idea in his mind and understood: All items presented to the saint must first be inspected by the hands of these guards to confirm whether they are safe.
This is the last chance!
"Be careful! There is something wrong with this scroll!" Ling Zhiyan shouted, flipped the table and violently struck the scroll with a horizontal knife like a bolt of lightning. Yun Zhongyue was caught off guard, she shrank her fingers and the scroll fell out of her hand.
Between the lightning and flint, Lin Sui'an jumped out, a thousand pure green lights swirled and exploded, instantly sealing all directions around Yun Zhongyue. As soon as Yun Zhongyue's lotus steps showed an afterimage, he hit hard. The Qianjing sword flashed back to her original body in an instant. Lin Sui'an was overjoyed, and then she slashed her throat and drew blood. Unexpectedly, at this moment, she heard several screams coming from behind her, heading towards Jiang Qiniang. In the direction where he was, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright. He immediately gave up on Yun Zhongyue and turned around with his sword to sweep around. Hearing a series of metal crunching sounds, seven or eight crossbow arrows were stuck on the floor.
A crossbow arrow penetrated the scroll and nailed it to Jiang Qiniang's desk. Jiang Qiniang had already retreated ten steps away under the protection of four guards. The four guards looked solemn and looked around cautiously. , Jiang Qiniang's face was not at all flustered, but she was even more interested. She looked straight at Lin Sui'an with her shining almond eyes and said "Wow" in her mouth.
Suddenly, everyone changed their expressions in shock. Hua Yitang and Yun Zhongyue suddenly stared at each other and said in unison:
"Oh shit! Yun Zhongyue, are you crazy?"
"Damn it! Hua Yitang, don't go too far!"
The two voices collided hard in the air, causing the ground to shatter into pieces.
One person immediately realized something was wrong and all shut up.
Ling Zhiyan quickly retreated to Jiang Qiniang's side. Jin Ruo and the Jingmen disciples protected everyone and retreated behind Lin Sui'an. Only Hua Yitang not only refused to retreat, but stood beside Lin Sui'an and cursed, "Ew shit." , any hidden pig or dog dares to run wild on my Hua clan’s territory, I will slaughter eighteen generations of your ancestors!”
"I heard that the world's number one thief, Yunzhongyue Baibailufang, held a banquet to auction Jiang Dongyi's relics. I was very interested and came here to participate. Fortunately, I caught up."
The gloomy and deep voice descended from the sky as a group of men in black fell on the guardrail of the White Egret Boat Viewing Tower. These people were all masked in black and had light bodies. Standing in the center of the bow of the viewing boat was a man. A weird man wearing a big cloak, his whole body was covered tightly, only a black black iron mask was exposed. The surface of the mask was bumpy, leaving only gaps for ventilation around the eyes, mouth and nose, and the overall shape was like a ball. Rotten tree roots look quite disgusting.
Except for him, the other men in black all held one-foot-long black horizontal knives in their hands. The length and shape were quite similar to Qian Jing's, and they were exactly the same as the weapons of the men in black who besieged them in the West City.
Lin Sui'an's heart suddenly beat wildly. She smelled the bloody smell on these people, which was so strong that it was nauseating. The bloody murderous intention in her body seemed to be angered, roaring and pouring into her limbs, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly. , Qian Jing was summoned and made a sword cry like a ghost.
Suddenly, Hua Yitang grabbed her wrist, and the wet palm made Lin Sui'an tremble.
She heard Hua Yitang's mocking voice and smashed him over without mercy.
"You bunch of shameless people actually copied my Qianjing from Lin Sui'an and made fakes. Don't let any of you escape today. You have to pay me!"
The river breeze blew through the silent admiring tower, and everyone looked at Hua Yitang, dumbfounded.
Lin Sui'an raised his head in confusion and looked at Hua Yitang's clean jawline. The murderous intention in his body was probably unable to adapt to such an absurd atmosphere and had already flown to Java.
Jiang Qiniang laughed out loud, "As expected of Silang Huajia, he is exactly the same as your brother. He never forgets to make money.":,,
