ent times.Although the kidnapped person was not her.Tie Zhu's face was very bad after hearing Li Gouzi's words. No one would be happy to hear this kind of thing.Is he, the village head, still going to...Gu Liusheng's meaning was obvious. He wanted Fang Jinshi to prove she had the ability to come up with one million taels of silver before he would consider doing business with her.

Except for Gu Liusheng, everyone else in the room knew very well that Fang Jinxiu didn't have that much silver.

Even if she mortgaged all the mountains and mansions, she still couldn't come up with a million taels.

Fang Jinshi's face showed no fear at all, instead she smiled and nodded in agreement!

"Sounds good."

"But the auction downstairs probably can't wait. Muzhou City is Boss Gu's territory, and since I dare to propose this deal with you, I naturally wouldn't deceive you."

"This is of no benefit to me."

Gu Liusheng narrowed his eyes, hesitating. He was considering how much truth and falsehood were in Fang Jinxiu's words.

He may not have believed what came before, but this following sentence is indeed true.

If she dared to play tricks on him in Muchu City, neither she nor those around her would be able to walk out of the city gate safely.

The auction downstairs seemed to be drawing to a close, and the person on stage had already knocked down the second hammer.

One more hammer blow, and the 100,000 stone of grain will be auctioned off.

Fu Ming couldn't help but feel nervous. Would Fang Jinshu's tactic really work

He didn't know what Gu Liu Sheng was like, but the auction in Muzhou City had existed for over a hundred years, its foundation was not ordinary.

I'm afraid even if his Uncle Wang personally comes forward, it might not be enough to handle this Gu Liu Sheng.

If Fang Jinxiu played her cards wrong and offended Gu Liusheng thoroughly, she would probably be implicated by him!

Fang Jinxiu appeared calm on the surface, but her hands under the table were already clenched tightly with nerves. Zong Yu could feel his wife's anxiety.

In the last lesson, Gu Liu Sheng smirked, pushed open the window, and took out a token from his bosom.

On the auction stage, seeing the token, everyone was stunned for a moment. How could the homeowner...

He thought he must be seeing things.

Not until Gu Liusheng's gaze turned to him did the steward downstairs come back to his senses, confirming that this was the master's intention.

This is a business worth millions of taels, is the master sure they want to do this

"This batch of 100,000 shi of grain was won by a VIP from Room No. 17."

As soon as these words were spoken, both the guests on stage and those in the audience turned their surprised gazes towards Fang Jinshu's private room, with discussions buzzing like a marketplace.

"What's going on"

"Someone's cut in on the deal halfway! Why didn't the auction house people report a price How much silver did lot number seventeen finally go for"

"I reckon there's a big shot in that seventeenth one."

Someone in the crowd shouted that the auction house was unfair, some demanded the auction house to announce the prices of the auction on the 17th, and others took advantage of the chaos to watch the excitement, making a lot of noise.

The scene instantly descended into chaos. The auctioneer's face was drenched in sweat as he tried, unsuccessfully, to calm the crowd with soothing words.

But he didn't dare to disobey his master's wishes either.

At that moment, the occupant of Room Number One flung open the window. A stern-faced guard leaned out and shouted down to the platform below.

My master wants to know the reason. If your company doesn't give it, don't blame my master for being impolite.

This #1 single room's tenant was clearly a tough nut to crack.

The auction house manager had no choice but to nod and bow obsequiously as he explained things.

"Honored guest, please do not be offended. Our establishment does indeed have such a rule. The token that illuminated from room number seventeen just now was our Sky Lantern Token."

Whoever displays this card can acquire any item being auctioned, no matter what price it has reached, by offering one level higher.

The man in room number one let out a cold snort. "So you're saying your auction house could just make a few more Sky Lantern tokens and openly sell these things Why bother with an auction at all"

"Are you treating all of us who came to the auction as monkeys"

The manager was so frightened that cold sweat trickled down his cheeks. "Esteemed guest, please calm your anger. Our auction house has existed for centuries. The Sky Lantern tokens do exist, but there are only three."

"This is the rule set by the first-generation owner of this auction house. If you gentlemen don't believe me, feel free to inquire around."

"We absolutely did not mean to jest with our esteemed guests, truly, the orders of our ancestors are unbreakable."

After the officer finished explaining, the man in room number one remained silent for a long time. The stern-faced guard turned his head and disappeared through the window after a while.

It seems they've left.

Since Number One doesn't care, the others are even more helpless.

After all, the final auction price for these 100,000 stone of grain was indeed beyond their means. Giving up was also an unavoidable outcome.

The appearance of the sky lantern token did not cause much disruption to the auction, which ended smoothly.

After obtaining these 100,000 shi of grain, Fang Jinshi lost interest in what came next.

After Gu Liu Sheng showed the lantern token, he was called away by the servants. He must be dealing with the trouble in Room Number One.

Fang Jinxiu wasn't afraid that Gu Liusheng wouldn't admit it. She clapped her hands and stood up.

"Let's go back."

Fu Ming now had nothing to say. Fang Jinxiu had opened his eyes several times today.

You won't find such an interesting woman in the capital.

He broke his usual routine and silently followed Fang Jinshu onto the carriage returning to the Prince's Manor.

This time, he didn't ride in his own car alone. He shamelessly followed the couple Fang Jinshiu and his wife in their car.ime he heard her laugh so happily.Like a child.From now on, he still wanted to treat her better and give her all the best things in the world.Just when Fang Jinshu was enjoying her trip, she suddenly...
