Chapter 379
When the price of jade seals soared to [-] taels, something went wrong.

As everyone knows, the Xia Dynasty simply used this auction to find allies, and gave up early.It's just because of Tan Yaoyu's regulations, even if you give up halfway and want to quit, you can't leave the room.Only when the result came out and the winning party left with Yuxi smoothly, could the other five families leave.

If someone violates the regulations, the one hundred thousand taels of silver deposit will not be returned.The envoy of the Xia Dynasty kept cursing in the room and was very unconvinced.

Since each family originally only bet one hundred thousand taels of cash and property in Qiuchi.When the price of the jade seal exceeds [-] taels, each family must hand over the property deed that they have annotated to the maid in the house while bidding.Then the maid checks and puts it into the bamboo tube.Slide along with the wooden ball to the next level.

On the bottom floor, not only were there people counting the bids for each room, but there were also several shopkeepers sent by Zhu Tancheng.They are well-informed, and they can tell at a glance where the land, the farm, the precious jewels and antiques are worth.

After they estimate the value of all the deeds, [-]% will be deducted, and the rest can be used as property for betting.

Due to the time required for accounting is relatively long.After [-] taels, almost every round of bidding has to pause for a while, allowing several old shopkeepers to evaluate the price.The larger the amount, the longer it takes to reconcile.So the speed of betting is getting slower and slower.

"Girl," Qin Zhongzhi said with some anxiety in his voice, "I'm afraid things have changed. Why haven't the three small countries, Xiqin, Beiliang, and Beiyan, given up yet? It's already two hundred thousand taels..."

Tan Yaoyu's ear was about to be stuffed into the copper pipe in Beiyan's room, "This Beiyan is too strange. From the auction to the present, the eleven people who entered did not say more than twenty sentences in total. .Except for the amount of betting that I told the maid in the room, I didn’t mention anything else. We didn’t even talk to each other.”

Although Tan Yaoyu originally allowed each envoy to bring ten guards.But among the ten guards who come and go, one or two are always staff officers.When several other countries bid, there were whispers of discussions coming from the copper pipes.Even if the four Liu and Song dislike each other, they will inevitably have to discuss a few words.Bei Yan is so quiet, it is really abnormal that there must be a demon.

"Have I been poor for too long?" Tan Yaoyu looked at Qin Zhongzhi suspiciously, "Could it be that two hundred thousand taels is a small amount in the eyes of other countries?"

Qin Zhongzhi used to be a counselor of Tuoba Pojun, and he was in charge of Qiuchi's finances, so he had a better idea of ​​money than Tan Yaoyu.He shook his head, "[-] taels is not a lot for the monarchs, but it is not an amount that can be taken out casually. At least Xiqin and Beiliang, they have been in constant war, even with the financial resources of the whole country, it is not enough It may compete with the Southern Song and Northern Wei."

Tan Yaoyu picked up the deed from Xiqin and Beiliang, which was handed over from the bottom, "Unless they deliberately raised the price..."

"On purpose?" Qin Zhongzhi frowned, "You mean they want to take the opportunity to cheat the Northern Wei Dynasty or Liu Song?"

Yao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Now this is the only explanation that is reasonable. Juqu Mengxun knew that he would not be able to hold this jade seal, otherwise he would have just snatched it from me. Now he has sent someone to participate Betting on the auction, and raising the price so high all the way, is nothing more than hoping that the two big countries will bleed once."

Qin Zhongzhi hurriedly looked at the records of several bids for each room. Sure enough, the Northern Wei Dynasty was the same as the Southern Song Dynasty.This is just to keep the bottom line and prevent people from buying it at a low price.Obviously, the competition between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty has not yet begun.

And the previous few price jumps were made by Xiqin, Beiliang and Beiyan.The purpose of Beiyan is still unclear, and the other two are probably here to stir up trouble.

Yao Yu said indifferently: "If the Northern Wei Dynasty auctioned the jade seal at a high price, there may not be any extra money to raise food and grass in a short period of time, and the northern countries will be able to enjoy peace for a while. If Liu Song wins, it will not do them any harm. Maybe they can Take the opportunity to build a relationship with Liu Song and jointly suppress the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"However," Yao Yu continued sarcastically, "the wool comes from the sheep. The sacrifices made by the two big countries will eventually be recovered in the plunder of the small country. Maybe the three countries think they are smart In the end, it turned out to be a reminder for them.”

While the two were talking, a notification came from the door, "Xian Ji, a palace official has come to report that there are thieves in the west palace. Lord Zimo and Lord Zhu Rong are trying to resist."

"Resist with great effort?" Tan Yaoyu raised his eyebrows and repeated, "Is this the man's original words?"

The answer outside the door: "Yes. It's the original words."

Tan Yaoyu put all the deeds in his hand, and replied coldly: "I'm taking the person into custody, hand it over to Weng Liang, and have a good trial. Where did he fish in troubled waters, and he didn't even find out a secret code. Just come and pretend to be someone from my palace."

"Here" was answered immediately outside the door, and then a series of footsteps followed and left.

Qin Zhongzhi sighed: "It seems that someone can't sit still and wants to divert the tiger away from the mountain. It's not easy to find out where Brother Zimo and the others are."

Yao Yu thought for a while and ordered: "You stay here and watch. I will go to Beiyan through the secret passage to have a look."

He Lu immediately stood up when he heard the words, "I will lead the way for Fairy Fairy!" Now he and his wife's lives are at the mercy of Fairy Fairy, in order not to bore Fairy Fairy, he has held back until now and dare not speak.Right now it's time to perform well.

Zhao Yu saw through He Lu's careful thoughts at a glance, and didn't stop him, nodded, let him lead the way, and didn't forget to tell him, "Don't make any noise, if you startle the snake, it will be an even worse crime." !"

He Lu hurriedly covered his mouth and nodded desperately.

The two walked to the left side of the room. He Lu opened a flap, revealing a secret passageway that was one person wide and half a person high. He turned his head and said to Zhao Yu: "Xiang Gongxian followed the minister and crawled for a while. The layout of the building is It is compact and cannot cover a large secret passage, so it can only be..."

Just as He Lu wanted to continue explaining the origin of the secret way, Tan Yaoyu glared at him and quickly shut up.

Yao Yu followed behind He Lu, crawling forward little by little until he reached the mezzanine of the wall on the second floor, before barely standing up.

He Lu whispered: "From here, the second peephole is the room of the Beiyan people."

Yao Yu nodded, leaned over and said in a softer voice: "Don't go there, you walk too loudly, you get up like a big mouse. Just wait here for me."

At this time, Yao Yu heard Qin Zhongzhi's buzzing voice from the copper pipe in the interlayer of the wall, asking each room to put a new round of bidding wooden balls into the track.

Taking advantage of the sound of the wooden ball rolling, Tan Yaoyu quickly moved to Beiyanren's room, and carefully opened the partition of the peephole.

　Everyone has their own ghosts...
