Time flew by and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Mr. Xu Changxu, the Minister of Household Affairs who was appointed by the emperor, still had no clue after ten days of investigation. In desperation, he could only attribute the matter to an accident.
Across the street, a fire broke out at the same time, and no one escaped. Is this accident too much of a coincidence?!
No one believed it was an accident, but Mr. Xu insisted that it was an accident. Even the emperor had no choice. Could it be possible that he chopped off the head of this official from the Ministry of Justice just for this matter?!
As a result, all shops in the entire imperial capital of Chang'an have been strictly inspected to prevent such accidents from happening, and security in the capital has become increasingly tight.
The anxieties and worries of those in high positions are all kept in the dark.
For the people of Chang'an City, apart from having more things to talk about after dinner, the fire on Tianyou Street did not affect the singing and dancing life of the people in the imperial capital.
The 25th is the last big auction day of the year for Qiankun Auction House.
It was just getting dark, and there were already many luxurious carriages parked in front of the auction house.
"Hush!"
Accompanied by the sound of the driver reining in his horse, another carriage stopped at the door of the auction house, the curtain opened, and a tall man jumped out of the carriage neatly.
Wearing a dark blue robe and a black fur jacket, he is handsome yet elegant. He is Xu Zixiao, who is now the deputy leader of the Blood Rose Gang and owns a restaurant.
Lifting the car curtain, Xu Zixiao stretched out an arm and carefully guided Mo Li out of the car.
She is dressed in snow-white clothes, elegant and gorgeous, with a snow-white fox fur cloak, which is luxurious and dust-free. The tall fur collar and fur hat on her head almost cover her entire face. The eye holes of the half-face mask are specially deepened.
The color chip covers the eye color that is different from ordinary people.
When Mo Li stepped out of the car, he looked like a noble gentleman.
Following Xu Zixiao, she walked through the secret passage of the auction house and walked into the reserved box No. 7 on the third floor. Then she took off her leather hat, untied her cloak, and looked out of the box openly.
Qiankun Auction House has a history of hundreds of years in the imperial capital and has always stood firm.
What people know is that this auction house sells everything, and everything is a treasure.
From pearls and gems to weapons and elixirs, from the beauties of the foreign races in the South China Sea to the fierce horses of the northern grasslands, from prime storefronts to various strange beasts and demons...
People who can obtain these things don't need to think about it to know that they are very powerful.
What's more, there have long been rumors in the market that there are religious forces behind the auction house, and some people speculate that the auction house is set up by the royal family. All the above speculations have given the auction house a mysterious color.
In view of the above, no one has dared to act wild here for hundreds of years.
As expected of a century-old store, the decoration of the store is also extraordinary.
To put it simply, the entire auction house is nine stories high, and even this auction hall has three floors.
There are wooden chairs arranged in an arc on the first floor, private rooms separated by wooden barriers and tulle on the second floor, and eighteen independent VIP rooms on the third floor.
The floor outside the VIP room is polished with a huge piece of crystal. This kind of crystal is transported from the extremely cold land in the north. It has the same effect as the one-way glass in Mo Li's previous life. Sitting in the private room
People inside can clearly see everything outside, but people outside cannot see clearly who is in the private room.
At the same time, the auction house also has a special secret passage for each box to keep the identity of the auctioneer absolutely confidential, effectively protecting the privacy of the auctioneer, allowing the auctioneer to bid without scruples without worrying about others knowing.
