Zhang Tao smiled and said, "Huanran, anything needs money. If I can get such a huge fortune, everything will be smooth sailing in the future."
"But this is just a legend. We are not sure whether it is true or not. If the auction house thinks the legend is true, or the auctioneer has unlocked the secret of the Star Sword, how could he put it up for auction?" Qin Huanran was a little anxious.
, even if this sword does not have the charm of legend, the cost is quite expensive, and not everyone can afford it.
Zhang Tao said, "I understand what you said. I'm just arguing. If I'm lucky enough to get it at a good price, why not? If it's bought by someone else, I can only say that it's just a loss of my life."
.”
Qin Huanran nodded. It seemed that Zhang Tao was still calm and did not continue to stop him, "Star Sword, starting price: three thousand taels of silver, and each increase in price must not be less than fifty taels!"
But soon Zhang Tao was dumbfounded. He didn't know whether there were too many people who believed in the legend, or whether these people really knew some unknown secret. Soon the price of three thousand taels increased to more than eight thousand taels. Not only that, but also
On a steady rise.
The sword that was originally thought to be uninterested was now in hot demand, and Zhang Tao had no choice but to give up. In the end, the Tianxing Sword was bought by a young man for 14,350 taels, and he looked very proud of it.
Tianxiang Auction House, because the family business is not very big, so people pay for the purchase immediately after the auction is decided. Of course, there are still some ninth-level martial arts masters and even innate masters in the auction house. Otherwise, if someone robs or makes trouble on the spot, wouldn't it be wrong?
Defenseless? Who would dare to come here to auction in the future?
"It turns out that this is the reason why he bought such a sword." Zhang Tao smiled bitterly. This young man hung the sword on his waist with great concentration, just for that kind of temperament! It was like the temperament of a peerless master.
In fact, real masters know that such swords with gems on them are generally not practical. They are just bragging rights for rich young men. They only get a sense of satisfaction from hanging such swords.
"If you really want it, I can help you." Lu Qianhao said in Zhang Tao's ear.
Zhang Tao's heart moved, that's right! Stealing people is not possible, but stealing things is easy. After getting it, he can throw it directly into the Misu Tower without anyone noticing. However, Zhang Tao gave up this plan in the end, "That's it, he won't get the Star Sword."
It belongs to his luck, my purpose is to save the villagers of Taixiang Village."
Zhang Tao knew that the longer the delay, the longer the villagers in Taixiang Village would suffer. "The following is the fourth auction item!" The next auction items are all ambiguous and useless. For Zhang Tao,
It's basically dispensable.
"The following is one of the highlights of our auction today! The villagers from the wilderness mountain village are healthy and can work, do hard work, and do anything! And the source is guaranteed to be clean and there will be no problems or future troubles. I believe you all
You also need a punching bag that you can beat and scold, right?" Finally, the auctioneer said half-jokingly.
Many people below chuckled in agreement, but Zhang Tao clenched his fists. It doesn't matter if your auction house secretly asks people to raise the price. This is the unspoken rule of the auction house. There are insiders who pretend to buy things and then raise the price, but you
To actually treat the villagers of Taixiang Village as a doormat to be beaten and scolded is an offense against Zhang Tao.
"Do you need me to poison them?" Du Yun felt Zhang Tao's anger and asked coldly.
Wang Qingqing covered Zhang Tao's fist with his hand, softening Zhang Tao's mood. "Just wait and see what happens!" Zhang Tao said calmly.
Soon, a cage was pushed up. There were ten people inside, including both men and women. There were no children or old people. They were all strong men.
"Eh? That's it?" Zhang Tao knew that the prices for women were much higher, while the prices for children and the elderly were not necessarily very high. It seemed that Tianxiang Auction House did not take in all the prices.
Zhang Tao was very familiar with the two people in the cage, and because they were absolutely sure that these people were from Taixiang Village, Zhang Tao's heart became hot.
Two of them are the two people Zhang Tao hated when he was a child: Li Qiang and his father Li Dongcheng! It can be seen that their eyes are full of anger, but there is also a trace of helplessness. Obviously they already know that they cannot escape this fate.
Zhang Tao looked at the other people and felt slightly disappointed. He didn't have his parents. "It looks like my parents have been separated." Thinking of this, Zhang Tao became even more anxious.
"These ten slaves have a wide range of functions, and they are newly introduced. Although they have not been trained and are a bit wild, their strength must be good. You can go home and discipline them well. Isn't it fun?" the auctioneer laughed.
road.
"Semi-finished products? The price won't be very high, Zhang Tao, don't worry." Qin Huanran said.
"Semi-finished product? What do you mean?" Zhang Tao's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Qin Huanran sighed. "Generally speaking, slaves will go through a period of training to teach them to obey their masters. Of course, this training method is very cruel and can make a strong man lose his self-esteem. He becomes a slave obediently and licks others.
shoes."
Zhang Tao's expression remained unchanged, but he was extremely angry in his heart, "But those who are not trained are just semi-finished products. Although they have the status of slaves, they are dangerous to a certain extent. The price is relatively low, but there are also some people who like to torture and kill!
You know, although the law does not explicitly stipulate it, it is not illegal to kill slaves." Qin Huanran said in a low voice.
"Really? You can be beaten, scolded or killed at will?" Zhang Tao said coldly.
"It can be said that it seems that someone was eager to take action, which resulted in the semi-finished product, so our money should be enough to buy it back." Qin Huanran changed the topic.
Zhang Tao nodded and remained silent. The auctioneer below had already begun to speak. "Some of them are hunters, and they are definitely very suitable slaves to buy. Because of the auctioneer's requirements, we cannot sell them alone, so ten slaves are a reasonable price."
All sold at a price of 3,000 taels starting from 3,000 taels, and each increase must not be less than 50 taels," the auctioneer said.
"The price of a person is the same as the Star Sword, huh." Zhang Tao felt coldly in his heart, and soon the people in groups started to increase the price. They obviously liked to torture, there were not many people who tortured slaves, and no one would spend a lot of money to take risks on semi-finished products.
The auctioneers were helpless when they saw such a scene. They also tried to persuade the seller, but unfortunately the seller insisted on it, "Five thousand taels!" When the price increased to more than 3,400 taels, Zhang Tao spoke.
Raising the price to a certain level in an instant can make the people below lose the courage to bid. This is also a strategy of auction. When facing something you like to buy, you can keep it at a high price to prevent higher prices.
The price appears.
Don't underestimate the superposition of auction bids. The price may increase when you don't pay attention. "Huh? What a familiar voice?" At this time, not far from Zhang Tao's VIP room,
There is also a VIP room with three people in it. This VIP room is the family VIP room of Tianxiang City.
"Ye Zhi, what's wrong with you?" At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a python robe asked with a nonchalant expression. There were two beautiful women beside him who were rubbing his back and shoulders. He himself looked indifferent.
Apparently he is used to such enjoyment.
"Second Uncle, if I'm not mistaken, the person who just raised the price must be my enemy: Zhang Tao!" The person with an angry look on his face and gnashing his teeth was none other than Shi Yezhi, who was so angry that Zhang Tao vomited blood in the Imperial City!
"Oh? Is he the person who offended you? Isn't he in the Imperial City? Why did he come to Xiangye City? And he bought slaves?" This middle-aged man looked surprised. He is the second master of the Shi family in Tianxiang City: Shi Kaihe
, and the second uncle who has the best relationship with Shi Yezhi.
"I don't know either, but we must not let him succeed." Shi Yezhi said fiercely. He still clearly remembered that Yun Mengya followed him. Although Yun Mengya has come back now, it can't be relieved from his mind.
Shi Yezhi felt even more angry as he recalled the scene when he was so angry that he vomited blood.
"Okay! Let your second uncle avenge you. He is ruthless in the imperial city, but our Shi family is ruthless here." Shi Kaihe said coldly.
Shi Ye was delighted, "Thank you so much, uncle!"
"Five thousand taels once, five thousand taels twice, five." Before the auctioneer finished speaking, Shi Kaihe made a bid. "Ten thousand taels!" This amount is not big, but buying a batch of semi-finished products is definitely not low.
Zhang Tao thought that this time he could feel at ease and win easily at a small cost, but he didn't expect that someone would come out to cause trouble halfway?
"Who is it?" Zhang Tao was furious. Is this person's offer of 10,000 taels because he feels sorry for himself? But when he came to Tianxiang City, he didn't provoke anyone at all.
"Thirteen thousand taels!" In order to test it, Zhang Tao increased the price again, but the other party responded without hesitation. "Thirteen thousand taels!" This voice sounded like he wanted to fight to the end.
"Go and find out who it is?" Zhang Tao said coldly. The people from Tianwen Mansion standing behind them gently agreed. Although they are a combat organization, they can still collect basic intelligence.
"Master, the VIP room opposite belongs to the Shi family of Tianxiang City. The Shi family of Tianxiang City is an old family in Tianxiang City. It has a strong foundation and a strong foundation."
"Shi Family? When did I, by the way! Shi Yezhi!" Zhang Tao quickly thought of the key to the problem. Apart from him, Shi Yezhi, no one would be against him.
"Okay! Since you don't have a long memory, don't blame me for being ruthless." This time is different from the past, it is not a small fight. Zhang Tao has been in a very bad mood recently, but Shi Yezhi just bumped into him.
When Du Yun heard Zhang Tao's words, he planned to go out, "Du Yun, now is not the time, thirty thousand taels!" Zhang Tao shouted out a high price that caused a lot of discussion below.
