Chapter 688 – Slap your face?
Gu Qianye said, what you have, even if it was what you once had, cannot be wasted by others.
An Zheng’s heart warmed. He glanced at Gu Qianye, then smiled. The fury that he almost could not control for an instant earlier had also dissipated by quite a bit. The Ming Fa Si did not just represenart of the Great Xi Empire’s rule of law, it also represented a part of the people’s past that had a fair and fair mind. More importantly, it represented An Zheng’s past.
The people entered the auction house one by one, and soon the hall was filled with people. Then, An Zheng realized that this hall could be considered a chartered room. Only guests with special statuses would be able to enter the hall, while ordinary people could only stand in the courtyard.
At the beginning, the Ministry of Revenue had predicted a total of 1,300 people, but in the end, no one had expected more than 2,000 people to come in. At this moment, the collapse of Da Xi’s legal system could be seen … Because the number of people exceeded his expectations, that was to say, some of them did not have invitations.
The invitation in An Zheng’s hands was genuine after all. It was Jinling Mansion’s Prefect, Song Nen Bao who had specially asked the Department of Revenue for an extra portion, and both his name and identity matched up to An Zheng. However, there were at least about eight hundred people who had somehow entered without knowing why. They all had invitation letters in their hands, and for the time being, they could not find out if it was true or false.
Later on, the Assistant Minister of Revenue, Tantai Qing, requested permission from him. In any case, those who came had all paid a portion of the deposit, meaning that they all had the ability to purchase it. Thus, he didn’t bother too much about it. However, no one would have thought that this would once again become a cause of chaos in Da Xi’s government.
When the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo in the Imperial Palace heard about this, they became furious and slammed the table in a rare manner, frightening all the officials present so much that none of them dared to stand.
The auctioneer was an official shopkeeper of the Ministry of Revenue’s official auction house. He even had the official position of a Minister for External Affairs. This Niu Zhong was extremely famous in the Jinling Auction House. When An Zheng was in Ming Fa Si, this person was also invited to Ming Fa Si to participate in the appraisal of the treasures collected there.
An Zheng did not catch the opening words, and was a little absent-minded. Gu Qianye held his hand the entire time, afraid that he would not be able to handle the grievance and burst out in anger.
“Everyone knows that this is an unprecedented auction.”
Niu Zhong’s tone was a little heavy, it was obvious that it would be difficult for him to adapt to the auction this time. Logically speaking, the Sacred Emperor would never allow something like this that would damage the imperial government’s dignity. However, for some reason, the auction this time was actually personally proposed by the Sacred Emperor.
To say goodbye to a disgraceful past is to be declared to the world.
Furthermore, all the money from this auction will be handed over to the military to be used for the defense of Da Xi’s base. All of the money would become weapons in the hands of the soldiers, their military salaries, as well as supplies for their logistics. Most importantly, among the people invited to this auction, some of them had nothing to do with the people from the royal families.
“I believe that everyone is clear about what the Ming Fa Si has represented before.”
Niu Zhong paused for a moment, took a deep breath and calmed himself down, then continued: “So let’s cut a long story short, and directly enter the auction. This over 1000 mu of land was the final item of the auction. As for the other items that were auctioned, they are all sealed pieces of evidence that were obtained from the treasury. These items are not only priceless, but also of a very special significance. ”
He pointed to the surface of the stage and said, “The first item, the Swallow Feather Knife … Everyone knew that the Swallow Feather Blade was the standard tool used by the Enforcers in the Ming Fa Si. However, this Swallow Feather Blade was not ordinary, because it was … Traitor, the first saber of the former Great Western Ming Fa Si, Fang Zheng. Although it couldn’t be considered an amazing magical equipment, it could still be considered a representation of the past. Low price, five red spirit stones. ”
The entire stadium was silent, because no one knew if there would be any disadvantages in buying this blade. If one day the emperor suddenly asked a crazy question, who would buy the sabre of a traitor for a large sum of money? If this was investigated, perhaps not everyone would be able to handle it.
After a minute of silence, a fat guy who looked to be in his thirties raised his card, “I offer five red spirit stones, but I still lack a sh * t stick in my house. This blade is the weapon of a traitor, so it can only be used as a sh * t stick. “Everyone knows that the toilet in our house needs to be cleared from time to time. The length of this blade is just right.”
This person was called Su Kun. The Su Family that was wiped out by the and the Su Family were more or less closely linked to each other, but they did not have a good relationship with each other. The Su Clan’s status in the capital was not low, but at this occasion, they could not even enter the main hall. They could only stay in the courtyard, which was enough to show how important the crowd was today.
What big words you have there, Fang Zheng actually wants to buy his own blade and use it as a sh * t stick?!
“Even if Fang Zheng iraitor, everyone is well aware of what he means. The Su Family is going too far.”
“Su Kun did it on purpose. Back then, when Fang Zheng was still in power, a Higher Completion Stage expert from the Su Family was exterminated by Fang Zheng because he was found out that the child’s blood was being sucked to cultivate.”
“No matter what Fang Zheng does, it won’t be the Su Family’s turn to ruin him like this.”
Su Kun did not mind the others’ discussions and acted as if he did not hear them. He looked around proudly: “Looks like there’s no one willing to fight with me for this? Fang Zheng, the final outcome is that no one fought over his sword, it’s so pitiful … “Since that’s the case, then I’ll thank everyone for letting me win. I’ll take this blade back with me to use as a sh * t stick.”
Just as he was speaking, someone stood up and said, “I’ll pay six pieces. Although this saber isn’t a magic artefact, it can still be used to smash people.”
“Oh wow, it seems like the young mistress has made her move.”
Su Kun looked around. The one who had bid was the Xu Family, who had not always had a good relationship with the Su Family. The Xu Family had been under some sort of spell for the past few years, and it had been many years since a man had been born. This phenomenon had been going on for almosundred years. Many experts had tried to teach him a lesson, but none of them had improved. The person representing the Xu Family this time was the leader of the Xu Family’s younger generation, Xu Bailei. There had always been rumors in the martial arts world that the Xu family of the Jinling was related to Palace Chief Tian Haogong, who had been the ruler of the south west. Therefore, it was not surprising for the Xu Family to stand out at this moment.
Su Kun mocked, “The Xu Family still has the money to participate in the auction, truly extraordinary. Oveundred years, not a single person has been born with a child. The young masters of the Xu Family have lined up like a bunch of trash … ”
The two families’ strengths were about the same, and the Su Family was also very unprepared to deal with them, so no one would be polite with them. However, when Xu Kun opened his mouth and said such vicious words, it caused everyone to look down on him.
Xu Bailei waeroine with a valiant figure. This was a woman who had her hair cut short when she was a young girl in order to prove that she wasn’t inferior to a man. Her hair was so short that it was often taken care of, but she had a very capable sense of beauty.
“There are no men nor women in the Xu Family. Some brute’s house is not even occupied by people. “To rely on the blood essence of a child to practice one’s martial arts, to have reached such a level like this, if there is no lightning strike, then it is probably because the ancestral tombs have chosen the right place to do so.”
“Slut!”
Su Kun scolded angrily: “Who are you talking about? Oh … I know, you once showed your love to that scum Fang Zheng, and in the end you were rejected by him. “Now it seems like you want to use the Fang family’s widow’s name?”
Xu Bailei said, “Naturally, I have my reasons for admiring those I admire. People whom I look down upon, everyone looks down upon as well. ”
Su Kun extended his hand. “I’ll pay ten red rank spirit stones!”
“Fifteen.”
“Twenty!”
“Twenty-five!”
“I’ll give yoiece of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone!”
Su Kun laughed coldly: “Let me tell you, I’m going to take this broken blade for sure. Even though I know that this blade is nothing, and a Golden-Rank Spirit Stone buying this sh * t stick is definitely a loss, but I still can’t let it fall into your hands right? You must be 30 years old and have yet to marry yourself. The night is lonely, could it be that you bought this blade and used the handle of it to play with yourself? In his mind, he still thought that it was Fang Zheng’s little chicken butt! The more you think about it, the more I can’t make you do as you wish.
Xu Bailei still wanted to bid, but a middle-aged woman sitting beside her shook her head and said in a low voice, “Our Xu Family can’t waste money just because we’re angry. I know you don’t like him, but that blade …” However, if you continue to bid, the elders of our Xu family will ask about it.
Xu Bailei opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say. It was jusiece of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone. No matter how great the Xu Family was before, it was nothing to the Xu Family. However … The feeling of being wronged and resentful almost caused her to explode.
“Ignore those people who are full of dirty words.”
The middle-aged woman said, “He is purposefully trying to anger you. When a true treasure appears, I won’t stop you.”
Xu Bailei sat down witale face.
Su Kun laughed out loud, “You must have been hit on the spot by your lordship’s words, right? Unable to refute? How about this, I’ll take it back with me to stir up the feces, then give it to you to play with? Hahaha, but the sh * t from my Su Family is more valuable than your money! ”
He loudly said, “Take this thing down. It belongs to me, Su Kun.”
Niu Zhong was so angry that his face also changed. He and Fang Zheng’s relationship could be considered good, but at this moment, his friend had been humiliated, so he naturally couldn’t take it anymore. But his duty was to do nothing.
“A piece of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, return it to Su …”
Before he could finish his words, he heard a woman say from the hall: “Two Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s.”
Everyone was stunned for a moment as they thought to themselves, who is this person? He actually offered sucigh price to buy something that has no meaning. The Swallow Plume Saber was not a magical equipment; it was only a symbol of status. The starting price for this item was five red rank spirit stones, which was already considered very high. Now, someone had actually raised the bid to two Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s, which was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Su Kun was angry and wanted to flare up, but he didn’t dare to easily offend the people in the hall. Seeing that the bidder was a little Daoist nun wearing a black robe, he was not very sure and could only continue to bid: “I bid two Golden-Rank Spirit Stone and five red rank spirit stones.”
“Five Golden-Rank Spirit Stone.”
The little Daoist nun was as unmoving as a mountain, but her words could frighten a person to death.
Su Kun’s expression changed as the corner of his mouth twitched. He really wanted to bid again, and then he really couldn’t. Five Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s were almost enough to exchange for a good looking Golden-Rank Artifact. However, the grievances of being bullied by Fang Zheng had made him impulsive again: “I’ll offer six Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s!”
Gu Qianye slightly smirked: “Ten pieces.”
Su Kun’s body trembled, but he still didn’t dare to bid. If he continued to bid, the Su Clan elders would not let him off so easily.
Seeing that Su Kun no longer dared to bid, Gu Qianye lightly snorted: “So you’re not even a match, how boring … Take it out and give it to that sister. ”
She pointed at Xu Bailei and smiled, “Treat it as a greeting gift.”
