Langyuan City is not a big hub city. It is only a middle-lower level division in the entire Beijiang County. Therefore, compared to Xiangkou, the auction here is not big. The business in Langyuan City has also been slow.
So good, there are very few items that are eligible for auction, and there will only be one auction every month or two.
After receiving Yang Jie's notice, the manager of the Langyuan City Auction House was overjoyed. He was very aware of the recent storm in Langyuan City, and understood that if the storm was moved to his auction house, no matter what the outcome would be,
This is definitely an opportunity that you can’t ask for to become famous. And it’s famous throughout the Nanyuan Kingdom. I don’t know how my boss will reward me if I know about it.
Following this, the only auction house in Langyuan City began to set up its business intensively.
The venue was naturally the largest venue. After careful cleaning, it was decorated with great care. A lot of refreshments were also prepared for the attendees. All the attendants put on new clothes and were strictly ordered not to make any mistakes.
Four days later, the day that the auction house owner had been waiting for finally arrived.
More than just the shopkeeper of the auction house? Countless people in Langyuan City have been waiting for this day. Even during this period, the major restaurants, flower houses, and inns in Langyuan City are rarely full of business. Hao
There were more customers than ever before.
Arrogant wealthy businessmen, arrogant warriors. Most of them are foreigners, and some even have accents that are hard to understand and require explanation.
Especially those heroic warriors. There are so many more than in the past. And they all poured into Langyuan City in large numbers just two or three days ago. When there are no inns, they grab houses at high prices, and even almost start taking action in many places.
.If the local government and garrison soldiers had not strengthened their manpower during this period, Langyuan City might have started to experience chaos.
Besides Yang Jie, the most nervous person was Zhou Cang. He had moved to the arrow tower on the city wall five days ago so that he could enter the city at any time.
Zhou Cang is not worried at all about those big forces making trouble. All kinds of trouble are measured, and each force is well-established. If the trouble gets too big, who can they run away from?
What really caused trouble and made Zhou Cang nervous were the warriors who came to Langyuan City after receiving news one after another in the next few days.
These warriors who got the news later were obviously not from the major forces, and they were not even people from the martial arts academy. Most of them were wandering warriors scattered around, or latent cultivators from some warrior families.
Because this kind of warrior has a floating foundation, or has no foundation at all, they act and do things according to their own preferences. It is difficult to use external forces to restrain them. Many of these people even have criminal cases against them. In the past three days, Wei Shu and
People from the local government have arrested six people, all of whom were registered in the sea arrest documents. They thought they could get away with it by pretending to be disguised, but in the end they ended up with their heads on the ground.
But are these six people the only ones who sneaked in? Zhou Cang doesn't believe it. Because many cases don't necessarily have witnesses and are pending. We only know that they were committed by warriors. Who knows if there are extrajudicial madmen hiding in these cities?
What about among the warriors? If these people want to cause chaos, that will be the most difficult and troublesome thing to guard against.
Zhou Cang only has a battalion of men and horses in his hands. In addition to the necessary defense forces on the four walls, he can mobilize only about 500 manpower. It seems like a lot, but Zhou Cang still doesn't have much confidence in his heart.
.
On the one hand, it was the auction venue, and Zhou Cang needed to be heavily guarded. On the other hand, the Zhang family also needed to be guarded. Thirty people were even sent there, and Zhang Huiyuan, the younger sister of the Zhang family, was called back from the store and was not allowed to go anywhere.
The same goes for Zhang Shun and his wife who are far away in Xiangkou. They are protected by the garrison in Xiangkou and have connections with Shi Xuan.
Although Zhou Cang had raised his vigilance to the highest level, he still felt that the suspension was not stable.
I went to see Mr. Zhang before, and Zhou Cang's idea was to give him some advice. He didn't want Mr. Zhang to suffer a big loss because of his temporary anger. He also didn't want to lose a friend like Zhang Yan, whom he got to know with great difficulty. He has a profit-seeking mentality,
He was also sincerely concerned. But Zhang Yan told him not to worry and said, "Just watch the show." He immediately blocked his words.
After carefully ascertaining that Zhang Yan was not talking nonsense, Zhou Cang hesitantly shut his mouth. Curious and anxious, he waited to see what good show Zhang Yan was talking about.
Early in the morning, Zhou Cang stood at the door of the auction house like a door god. The expressionless eyes on his face were scanning the people who walked into the venue one by one. Regardless of the identities of these people and the forces behind them,
Regardless of whether these people's cultivation is higher than Zhou Cang's, his eyes convey one meaning: Don't make it difficult for me, otherwise no one will be able to feel comfortable today.
There are also real big shots. For example, Li He, the adjutant of the commander of the Eastern Army, came to Langyuan City once.
And Princess Qingling, the first princess of Nanyuan Kingdom, who has just rushed to Langyuan City from Yuanding Imperial City, is said to be to give Zhang Yanzhen a scene.
There are also Liu Renchuan, the director of Langyuan City Jiangwu Academy, and Xiao Shu, the judge of the academy.
In addition to these few people, even people like Yang Jie or Shen Wujiu from the Special Cases Division, as well as some big shopkeepers sent by some forces, are not considered important figures in Zhou Cang's eyes. They are just sounding boards or eyes and ears.
These people are not qualified to truly be able to directly influence and use means.
In addition, among those warriors who obtained the admission card of the auction house through coercion or inducement, Zhou Cang has not seen any of them who are under the Tongqiao Realm. There are even several in the Hundred Refining Realm. Some of them are Zhou Cang.
For those who have heard the names, these people are famous not only for their high level and powerful methods, but also because these people are ruthless in dealing with things. There are many bloody rumors about them. They are also the ones Zhou Cang focuses on "paying attention to".
"Sir, Mr. Zhang has already entered."
"Huh? Here we are? Just watch this way. We will close the door when the time comes. According to the plan, no one who is late will be let go. Moreover, patrols have begun around the place, and all warriors who gather in the crowd will be dispersed."
"Yes, sir."
Of course, today's protagonist Zhang Yan will not enter through the main entrance of the venue, but will choose to enter through the back door of the venue. Zhou Cang also turned to the back, checked the defense behind, and finally entered a small hall inside the venue.
I saw Zhang Yan sitting on a chair drinking tea.
"Sir, is everything going well?"
"Of course. I also want to thank Mr. Zhou for arranging manpower for my family. Otherwise, I would be a little worried." Zhang Yan said this sincerely. Although he has made magic weapon pendants for his family, including his eldest brother and sister-in-law, it is not foolproof.
With the protection of Zhou Cang and Shi Xuan, it will naturally be better.
"Are these the big weapons we put in this time?" Zhou Cang looked curiously at the three two-foot-long iron boxes placed on the coffee table in front of Zhang Yan, and his eyes were also very curious. He was also a warrior, and he didn't like big sharp weapons.
I am definitely greedy. At the same time, I am also curious about how much Zhang Yan can fetch these three large weapons today.
