Hearing this, Zhou Ping smiled and said,
"Miss Liu misunderstood. My Zhou family naturally wants the Liu family's property, but recently all the family's funds have been invested in the business, and there is really not much spare money left to purchase the Liu family's assets."
As soon as Zhou Ping said this, the room immediately became quiet. Even the bosses who had bid the most fiercely before closed their mouths and looked at Zhou Ping in surprise.
They knew Zhou Ping's abilities, and they also knew that the Zhou family and the Liu family had been fighting openly and secretly. It could be said that the Zhou family wanted to annex the Liu family's property the most.
But now, with such a great opportunity in front of him, Zhou Ping didn't want it, which made others murmur in their hearts.
Seeing this, Liu Jia narrowed her eyes slightly. Her original intention was to gather these people together so that they could bid for the Liu family's property in the auction, but she didn't expect that Zhou Ping would show up like this. If no one else wanted to buy it, then The Liu family's property will not only fail to sell at a high price, but will also lose money.
Moreover, she couldn't afford to delay it. Because she had an intelligence network, she already knew that King Pingxi personally led an army to help Nie Chen. She thought that in a few days, Nie Chen would arrive at the county seat. By then, she would have to If he died, all the Liu family's property and property would fall into Nie Chen's hands.
Therefore, within today, all the Liu family's properties must be auctioned off, and then run away with the money overnight.
But if Zhou Ping doesn't take the lead in buying it, then others will probably back down.
Thinking of this, Liu Jia said to Zhou Ping,
"Master Zhou, please come with me. I have a family heirloom that I want to give to Master Zhou."
After speaking, Liu Jia stood up and turned around and entered the compartment inside the box.
"oh?"
Zhou Ping stood up and followed in.
The maid inside closed the door. It was a thick wooden door, padded with cotton wool, and the sound insulation effect was very good.
"I don't know what Miss Liu wants to say when she brings me here."
Zhou Ping asked calmly.
"It's not what I want to say, but what do you think, Mr. Zhou?"
Liu Jia sat on the chair and asked leisurely.
"Miss Liu is quick to speak, so I'll tell you now. I want to know what happened that forced you to give up the property you regard as your life and flee Weihu County."
"Mr. Zhou was joking. As I said, I just wanted to go to my uncle. As you know, although the county magistrate is my godfather, he is still an outsider after all. I am in charge of such a huge foundation alone. I don't know when. It was swallowed up by the county guard.
It's better to hide far away. Although the property is not that big, it can save one's life at least. "
"That being the case, Miss Liu can just sell off her property slowly, so why rush it?"
"Mr. Zhou should know that the county guard has left with his army to retake Qingshui County. Now the war is coming to an end and the county guard will return soon. If I don't take advantage of this time to sell out quickly, he will still be there when the county guard comes back. Do you want me to sell the property?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ping looked straight at Liu Jia and said,
"You're not telling the truth. There must be something I don't know about."
"Then don't worry about it. Just tell me, it's up to you whether you want my Liu family's property or not."
"I do not want."
At this time, Zhou Ping was not greedy at all and even wanted to run away with Liu Jia.
His principle has always been that when others are greedy, he is fearful, and when others are fearful, he is afraid.
But he didn't know anything, and he couldn't bear to abandon all his property and run away like Liu Jia did.
Now he just wants to keep his current property and money.
Liu Jia was not surprised at all by Zhou Ping's words. She stood up and said,
"If I remember correctly, just last night, Mr. Zhou's two useless brothers were arrested by the government officials and thrown into prison because they injured someone.
Now that the county guard is away and there is no one to judge me, I can only stay in jail. Even if Mr. Zhou wants to bribe me with money, no one dares to accept it.
But everyone in the government office knows me. With just one word from me, your two brothers can be released.
But if I am unhappy, it is unknown whether brothers Zhou Long and Zhou Hu will die of illness in prison. "
Zhou Ping's eyes suddenly shrank, he turned his head and stared at Liu Jia.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and said,
"I want at most 10% of the Liu family's property, one million taels of silver, and it's not cash. I'll pay you an IOU. When I have the money, I'll send it to Qingping County and pay it back to you."
Zhou Ping still wanted to keep the cash in his hand. After all, he was under great pressure to take out one million taels at once.
Hearing this, Liu Jia smiled. If Zhou Ping didn't bid, then no one else would bid, and the Liu family's property wouldn't be able to sell for a high price.
If Zhou Ping also participates, then the price can be doubled or tripled. If he refuses to pay back the million, Liu Jia will definitely make a profit without losing anything.
"Okay, I promise you, after today's event is completed, I will take the land deed that you photographed and your two younger brothers to hand over the IOU to you."
"good."
"But you can't say you paid the IOU, you have to say it's in cash. I have to let everyone else pay in cash."
"Can."
"Then let's go."
The two people pushed open the door and sat back in their original seats. The fat shopkeeper smiled and said,
"Mr. Zhou, what kind of family heirloom did Miss Liu give you? Take it out and let us broaden our horizons."
Zhou Ping was too preoccupied to talk to him, so Liu Jia responded casually with a smile,
"Of course it is a rare treasure passed down by our Liu family. Naturally, it cannot be seen by just anyone. I will personally go to the Zhou Mansion to give it to Mr. Zhou in the evening."
When the people around heard this, their faces became teasing. The fat shopkeeper smiled and said,
"Hey! So it's this. Mr. Zhou is very lucky today. This family heirloom is something that countless people only dream of but cannot get. It's an absolute rare treasure."
"That's right, I really envy Mr. Zhou. We are going to have a spring night again tonight."
"By the way, Mr. Zhou doesn't have a married woman yet, so it doesn't matter. Just be happy."
Facing everyone's ridicule, Zhou Ping and Liu Jia looked stunned.
Have these people misunderstood something?
In fact, I don’t blame people for thinking wrongly.
Liu Jia said that she would personally deliver it to Zhou Ping's younger brother and the Liu family's property in the evening. The rare treasures were just a reason for her to ask Zhou Ping to chat alone.
The others are all men, so they can't help but think about it. The Liu family's heirlooms and blood are also passed down from family. The most precious thing is of course Liu Jia himself, who has tens of millions of assets.
This noble status and beautiful body are treasures.
Liu Jia was too lazy to explain to them, so he said,
"Okay, everyone, let the bidding begin."
