"Congratulations to the noble lady of Room No. 60!"
As Su Zheng expected, Jian Yilan was finally bought by Mrs. Sun from No. 60 Yajian for 6.7 million taels.
Jian Yilan's expression was so horrified that she seemed to have foreseen her upcoming tragic life.
Although Zhang Xiaozhu sympathized with her, he was unable to take care of her.
The booth surface lowered, taking Jian Yilan away, and then rose again after a while, replacing it with a quiet girl.
The matchmaker stepped forward and introduced: "This is Miss Shixuan, the direct queen of Wang Wenyao, a former member of the Ministry of Etiquette. Wang Wenyao was sentenced to exile because of leaking and selling imperial examination questions and accepting huge bribes. All the female relatives in the family were demoted to slaves and assigned to the teaching office."
"The starting price is 50,000 taels! Each bid increase must not be less than 1,000 taels!"
"Sixty thousand!"
"Eighty thousand!"
…
The subsequent auctions also went very smoothly, and the women auctioned were basically the female relatives of criminal officials.
Men seem to be particularly interested in this kind of woman who once had a noble status, so the bidding has always been fierce.
But the overall price is far less than the first one.
For this kind of cruel scene where people are being displayed and auctioned as if they were objects, Zhang Xiaopou would definitely not be able to bear to watch it when he just came out of Liujiacun, and would be extremely angry.
But now, his heart has become very cold and hard. Although he has sympathy and anger, his emotions are within his control.
Because he already understands that this world is so cruel.
However, he couldn't help but said to Su Zheng: "Go back and ask Your Majesty if the slavery system can be changed to be more stringent, because once you become a slave, your life will be ruined. It is not easy for people to live in this world."
"Okay." Su Zheng nodded and responded.
Just when Zhang Xiaozu was getting impatient, Zhao Yue'e appeared in his sight as another woman who was sent to the booth.
Although he had expected this scene to happen, when it actually happened in front of him, he still couldn't control his anger.
"Is she Zhao Yue'e?" Su Zheng felt the cold air emanating from Zhang Xiaozu's body and immediately guessed that the woman on the booth was most likely the Zhao Yue'e that Zhang Xiaozu was looking for.
"Yeah" Zhang Xiaozu responded.
"Although her appearance is beautiful, she is not very outstanding. I don't see anything special about her." Su Zheng said after observing Zhao Yue'e.
He wondered why Zhao Yue'e, a woman of ordinary status, was worth eighty thousand taels.
"Matchmaker, which family is this lady from?" someone asked with a smile.
"No, this one is not. She is just an ordinary prostitute." The matchmaker replied.
"Haha, there must be something special about her, otherwise she wouldn't be qualified to appear here with her beauty." The man laughed.
The matchmaker did not answer him, but walked to Zhao Yue'e, put her hand into her thin clothes, touched it gently, then took her hand back and put it in front of her nose, closed her eyes and took a deep sniff, and sighed: "It smells so good.
ah!"
Zhao Yue'e looked frightened, but did not dare to resist, looking trembling.
"Could it be that I have a strange body odor?" someone asked in surprise.
The matchmaker nodded and said: "Yes, this girl is born with a peculiar fragrance, and the more she sweats, the stronger the fragrance becomes. When she sweats profusely, the whole room can even be filled with a charming fragrance. I don't know which strong man can make her
Sweating profusely? Giggle——"
The matchmaker gave a trembling and charming smile, and then stopped talking nonsense: "The starting price is one hundred thousand taels, and each increase in price cannot be less than ten thousand taels."
"Hey, Mr. Fang, isn't this the beauty you got?" The man in the private room No. 19 was lying on the fence and asked the man in the private room next to him.
"Haha, she is the young lady that I spent a lot of money to buy. I am tired of playing with her and want to change my taste." The man in the private room No. 20 responded with a smile.
"Is it worth the price?" someone asked doubtfully.
"Brother, don't you know who the nobleman of the Fang family is?"
"Of course I know, isn't it Xiang Fei - ah, haha, that's it. She has the same unique fragrance as the empress, and it's really worth the price. Haha -"
"I've never played with a woman with a strange smell, it costs 120,000 taels!" someone quoted.
"One hundred and thirty thousand taels!"
"Ten million taels!"
"——"
A cold voice made the auction house quiet for a moment, but then there were curses and laughter, and everyone thought it was some drunkard who was intoxicated and quoted the price indiscriminately.
But just when they were about to continue bidding, they saw two people entering the auction house from the private room one after another.
These two people were none other than Zhang Xiaozu and Su Zheng.
Su Zheng thought Zhang Xiaozu would spend money to buy Zhao Yue'e, but when he heard the words "ten million taels" pop out of Zhang Xiaozu's mouth, he knew that he had thought too well of Zhang Xiaozu.
"Two gentlemen, what do you mean?" The matchmaker's smile did not diminish as she looked at Zhang Xiaozu and Su Zheng who were walking straight towards them.
Zhang Xiaozu responded: "I want this girl. I don't have the money, but I have a knife. Do you want it?"
"Giggles, has your family been robbed?" the matchmaker said with a dumb smile.
"Just take it as such." Zhang Xiaozu said.
"This is Chunxiao Tower. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out?" The smile on the matchmaker's face gradually disappeared.
"Not afraid."
"Is the uncle drunk?"
"No."
"Then it seems that I really encountered a bad situation today. Oh, what a bad luck." The matchmaker sighed resentfully.
Everyone in the other private rooms were stunned. They had never thought that such a thing would happen.
At this time, they all had only one question in their minds: "Are you tired of coming to Chunxiao Tower to rob?"
Zhang Xiaozu pulled out the bone knife from the mustard seeds, and the white blade exuded an icy cold air.
"Sir, can you spare me for once? I am willing to listen to you in everything."
The matchmaker suddenly looked at Zhang Xiaopeng with charming eyes, and her voice was so numb that it penetrated into the human bones.
"Ouch--"
She suddenly staggered and fell from the booth, and accidentally threw herself into Zhang Xiaopou's arms.
Snapped!
Zhang Xiaozu slapped her away and warned: "If you dare to use the charm technique on me again, I will chop you with a knife."
The matchmaker covered her cheek, which was so hot from being slapped, and looked at Zhang Xiaopou with resentment and fright.
She resented Zhang Xiaozu for not knowing how to pity her beauty, and was frightened that Zhang Xiaozu was not afraid of her charm at all.
"Aiya, Miss Matchmaker, get up quickly." Su Zheng stepped forward quickly to help the Matchmaker up, moving his hands dishonestly.
Snapped!
"Uncle, I'm so annoying!" The matchmaker slapped Su Zheng's hand away angrily.
Su Zheng laughed, and then reminded in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, you can't afford to offend this man."
"Really?" The matchmaker's eyes were slightly cold, showing an unconvinced expression.
laugh!
Zhang Xiaozu jumped onto the booth, swung his bone knife to split open the iron cage, took out a coat from the mustard seeds and put it on Zhao Yue'e, and then jumped to the private room No. 20 with her.
"Don't worry about us, you continue." Su Zheng greeted the matchmaker, and then ran towards the private room No. 20.
But after running a few steps, he came back, put his mouth to the matchmaker's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Is the matchmaker still a virgin?"
This was what Zhang Xiaozu said when he was chatting with Zhang Xiaozu just now when he was bored with waiting. He wanted to verify it now.
"spit!"
When the matchmaker heard this, she spat at Su Zheng coquettishly.
"Haha, the girl is blushing." Su Zheng laughed and left.
The matchmaker looked at the silent booth and frowned involuntarily. She didn't understand why there was still no movement down there. Was it because she didn't know what was going on above, or did she know it and didn't dare to care?
"Are you Fang Chengyu?" Zhang Xiaozhu rushed into the private room No. 20 and asked, staring at the masked man.
"Who - who are you?" The man was a little panicked, because Zhang Xiaozu's momentum made him breathless.
