1249. Chapter 1249 Auction House

Ye Yiqing asked the two maids to take the children back to the inn first. There were too many people here and it was noisy, which was not good for the children. The two little guys needed more sleep to grow faster.

Zhaoyang said, "I'll go back and look after the two children. You and your daughter can go shopping."

Probably because of her own miscarriage, Zhaoyang particularly liked children. She wanted to spend time with her two grandsons more than watching the fun outside.

"Send Madam and the others back to the inn." Ye Yiqing ordered his men. For safety reasons, he would arrange a few people around Zhaoyang and his grandson to avoid encountering perverts like the National Master of Baoxiang Kingdom again.

After Zhaoyang left with the two little guys, Ye Yiqing and Ye Zhen walked to the auction place. Because there were so many people around, they couldn't see what the auction was like.

Ye Yiqing protected Ye Zhen by his side and slowly walked to the front from the crowd, only to realize that the auction was not open in the street at all.

"Auction House?" Ye Zhen looked at the plaque in front of the door. On it were three big characters, Auction House.

"It seems that not everyone can get in." Ye Yiqing whispered, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people surrounding the door and unable to get in.

Ye Zhen walked up and was stopped by two powerful-looking men at the door, "Girl, do you have an invitation?"

"Invitation?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows, "Can't I go in without an invitation?"

"Those people don't have invitations. Do you think they can get in?" the guard asked, pointing to the crowd behind.

Ye Zhen didn't look back, "How can I get the invitation?"

"Those who can enter here are all reputable people in Nanzhou. It seems that you are new here. If you haven't received the invitation from our Lord Shui, you will have to pay a deposit of 50,000 taels. If the auction house is leaked, Those who cause sabotage inside, the fifty thousand taels will belong to the auction house." A middle-aged man wearing a gray straight jacket walked out of the auction house, he seemed to be the manager of the auction house.

Fifty thousand taels? Ye Zhen turned back and glanced at Ye Yiqing. This was not money that she couldn't afford, but who would walk down the street with fifty thousand taels? Isn't that a fool?

"Fifty thousand taels of silver?" Ye Zhen looked at the steward and asked with a half-smile.

The steward smiled lightly and said, "If you don't have silver, you can still use it for things of the same price."

Something of the same price? Ye Zhen recalled that she had something worth fifty thousand taels, but it seemed that she didn't bring anything valuable.

"Girl, it's fifty thousand taels per person." The steward reminded Ye Zhen with a smile, but he was wondering in his heart, where did this beautiful and refined woman come from? Could she have gone out to sea alone? That's really courageous.

"How much is this Thousand Herb Pendant worth?" Ye Yiqing asked, holding a jade pendant in front of the steward.

"What?" The steward was stunned for a moment, Qianxiang Pendant? They actually still have such a treasure. Isn't this a national treasure that has never been passed down in Baoxiang Kingdom?

Ye Zhen didn't expect that her father would bring this with him. King Dailuo gave them several thousand-herb pendants. Is this worth a hundred thousand taels?

The confusion on the steward's face was quickly covered up, "You two, please come in."

Although others are not allowed in, it would be nice to be able to let the two of them in.

Ye Yiqing handed the Thousand Herb Pendant to the steward, stamped his fingerprints and took the receipt, and then they walked into the real auction house.

What a big auction table!

It was not that Ye Zhen had never seen an auction stage before, but this was the first time she saw such a big one.

The auction stage is semicircular and carved from huge stone. There are dozens of round tables in front of it, and the second floor is full of wing rooms. However, they can see the auction stage more clearly. Ye Yiqing and the others were invited to the second floor. Wing room.

It seems that the locations in the auction house are arranged, and you can't just sit wherever you want.

"Dad, what is this auction? It seems very mysterious." Ye Zhen asked Ye Yiqing doubtfully.

Ye Yiqing picked up a golden list from the table, "It seems that they are all rare treasures from all countries."

"Is there anything else on this list?" Ye Zhen walked over and took a look, and saw that there was a blank space on the list, "What does this blank space mean?"

"People." Ye Yiqing's eyes fell on the stamp on the list.

water? It seems that the Shui family has great power in Nanzhou. Not just anyone can afford to open this auction house. To be powerful, you must have money. It seems that no matter where you go, power can control everything.

Ye Zhen was not very interested in the auction items. She just came to watch the fun, "Dad, let's go over there and sit down and watch."

"Yes." Ye Yiqing sat down on the grand master's chair by the window, just in time to see what was going on on the auction stage.

"Dad, if the emperor of China is really a descendant of the Huangfu family, will they return to the Central Plains one day?" Ye Zhen looked at the people below. Every face was unfamiliar, but they looked very similar. She was familiar with them. They were all Han people. If their ship hadn't been traveling on the sea for so long, she would have thought they had returned to the Kingdom of Jin.

A boy came in to bring snacks and tea to Ye Yiqing and the others, as well as a sign that you could put up to bid if you liked the product you wanted.

"Where do your products come from?" Ye Zhen asked curiously.

The boy returned respectfully, "Some businessmen from other places will come to us, Mr. Shui, for help if they have an accident at sea or if their business fails and they need capital."

"Master Shui?" Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow, "So, the items in the auction are all brought to you by others...that Master Shui?"

"They are all commodities that have not been redeemed when the expiration date has expired, so there will be no problem." said the waiter.

Ye Zhen nodded clearly, "I understand."

The auction downstairs has begun. The items being auctioned are all rare treasures. However, Ye Zhen is not interested in these treasures. Instead, she is curious about the people vying for the bid. Some of them seem to be businessmen from other places, and some are local. Yes, they seem to be very interested in those products.

After such a long time at sea, she felt nostalgic to feel this atmosphere again.

Ye Yiqing's attention was not on the goods and people. He was looking at the room in the middle of the auction table. Unlike other rooms, that room was covered by a black curtain. It was not clear who was sitting inside, but He just saw the steward who was blocking them outside the door appearing there.

The owner of the auction must be there.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout downstairs. It turned out that the most critical moment had come. The slave who appeared in the auction for the first time was about to come out.

Because no one had ever auctioned it before, everyone was full of curiosity.

Ye Zhen transferred the realization to the auction table. She also wanted to know who would be auctioned like a commodity.

When two men in black appeared, dragging a man tied with chains, Ye Zhen's eyes widened, right?
