Chapter 477 Auction
After deciding that the ledger itself should not be of any use in promoting or providing clues to the mission, at least those numbers that made the two of them feel overwhelmed were useless, so Ye Sheng didn't look at the numbers seriously anymore.

She checked the ledger over and over again, but there was nothing unusual about it.

I pretended to read two books, and ate some food by the way. The food in the plot has no food effect, but the satiation degree is still increased, so I don’t eat for nothing.

"Want to go shopping in the building?" Ye Sheng asked in the queue.

"En." Lin Jianxiao replied quickly, he left the account book and stood up.

They are not omnipotent, they are just stronger. This ledger is really beyond their abilities.

The two went out separately, but they still didn't forget to turn around and close the door. There was still a lock on the door, and they locked it back. After all, the account book was inside, so they had to look good.

When they returned to the building, the shopkeeper was waiting for customers, Ye Sheng directly grabbed a boy and asked him to take him around the building.

Jing Jing was passing by on the first floor before, so she had to take a good look around at this time, observe the crowd around her, and listen to their conversation by the way.

Most of the people in charge at the counter are introducing various jade ornaments, and some are bargaining, or discussing with their companions which one looks good.

There were also many customers looking at them. Back then, the direct descendants of the Xiao Clan were all well-known.

Lin Jianxiao's side was the most embarrassing, he even met a few wives surrounding him talking to me to sell his daughter.

"...Why is there even this in the plot of an investigation mission?" Lin Jianxiao was a little uneasy, but he couldn't avoid it, and finally hid helplessly on the second floor.

The second floor is already a VIP area, not as lively as the first floor, nor as presumptuous as the first floor, the more distinguished people are, the more cautious they are, because Xiao Yulou is not their territory.

Ye Sheng finished shopping on the first floor, it was still the first day, he didn't expect to see anything, and he really didn't find anything, so he went to the second floor.

The second floor is similar to the study building, and there is also a special place to rest and provide tea and snacks. Lin Jianxiao is sitting there, seemingly casually, but observing everyone on the second floor without showing any signs.

"Just now I heard someone talking about people from the royal family on the third floor." The Xiao family and the royal family had great conflicts, and Xiao Jiuya also hinted that they were people from the royal family, so those related to the royal family would naturally pay more attention to it.

"Well, let's go up and have a look later." Ye Sheng responded, of course she was not in a hurry to go up, she also went up with Lin Jianxiao after seeing the people on the second floor.

The counters on the second floor are actually much less than those on the first floor, but the materials used are better, and the jade ornaments displayed in the counters have naturally improved a lot.

As for the third floor, even the stairs going upstairs have been replaced with jade quality, and a lot of money has been burned everywhere at a glance.

Many jade ornaments that can be sold on the first and second floors have become a decoration here.

However, the third floor is more lively than the second floor, because jade ornaments are being auctioned here, but the noise of the first floor can still be heard on the second floor, but there is no movement on the third floor.

Moreover, Ye Sheng only knew at this time that Xiao Yulou did not have a fourth floor. Although it looked like a four-story building on the outside, the third and fourth floors were connected inside.

Ye Sheng and the others didn't disturb the auction crowd. Anyway, the seats were not full, so they sat in the last row and watched the auction.

Of course, it is also to find someone who deserves their attention during some conversations.

One of the people who came here to auction jade ornaments was a lady of the Wang family, who is also the sister-in-law of Emperor Jingyun.

Ye Sheng quickly identified the partner, and it was actually not difficult to find. It can be seen from the clothes that the royal family's clothes have certain standards, from the materials to the style.

She doesn't know much about Jingyun's situation, but Lin Jianxiao does.

The queen and duchess bought two pieces of jade ornaments, and the price was very generous. A maid came to send a snack and got gold coins as a tip.

Ye Sheng remembered the maid, and now he has not found any clues, so he cast a net to check.However, how to check?
"That shopkeeper, do you think we can trust?" She was thinking, and decided to pull Lin Jianxiao to think together.

"I think it's okay. The Xiao Clan is not so bad that the shopkeeper can become a hidden stake in the royal family, right? This position should be placed in someone who the Xiao Clan trusts very much." Lin Jianxiao said his thoughts after pondering for a while.

"En." They need someone who can direct them to conduct a secret investigation for them, otherwise it depends on how the two of them want to investigate.

"I think we can get the information of the people who have been in contact with Mrs. Wang first." Lin Jianxiao has been thinking about how to find out the hidden stake.

"I think so too." Ye Sheng nodded in agreement, "Also, we need to know the real purpose of Xiao Yulou's existence."

"Yes." It's just an ordinary shop, what can the royal family do with hidden stakes?Is it possible to deduct money from it?Knowing Xiao Yulou's nature might also give them some clues.

The two sat in the back and watched the entire auction, and someone noticed their existence halfway through, and turned around to look at them several times.

When the scene was over, they turned around directly, and the others also looked at them at this time. Ye Sheng and Lin Jianxiao also acted like the Xiao people should be at this time, smiling and nodding to signal to them.

As the first family, there is no need to show respect to anyone, even the princess.

But the background of the big family is not accumulated by rudeness. Compared with the many auction participants here, they are considered juniors, and they must have the etiquette they should have.

They even sent two steps, but after sending the leader down the stairs, there was no extra movement.

With Ye Sheng's memory and Lin Jianxiao's original background, such a performance was not stressful or even natural for them.

Lin Jianxiao turned his eyes and took a look at Ye Sheng. Sometimes he felt that her words and deeds seemed to come from a big family, but he couldn't bring it to anyone who knew it, but sometimes he didn't feel like it.

This person seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of fog as if she was using skills in battle.

The auction ended, and soon someone came to clean it up. Ye Sheng and Lin Jianxiao went back to the backyard, wandered around for a while and watched the auction again. It actually took a long time.

The shopkeeper soon came to the backyard, Ye Sheng and Lin Jianxiao were in the same room, pretending to have a ledger in front of them, the shopkeeper knocked on the door and walked in.

"Fourth Young Master, Fifth Miss, did you find anything?" Hearing his question, Ye Sheng and Lin Jianxiao were even more sure that this person could be trusted and used by them.

"Not yet, first give us a copy of the information of everyone who works in the building, especially those who have been in contact with Mrs. Wang today." Personnel information must be in hand, at least you must know who is who.

"Did you find anything in the south of the city?" Ye Sheng asked the shopkeeper in turn.

"The person in charge of the south side of the city will report in person at night."

 Thank you Xiaoxiuluo and Mi Wanwan for your rewards, thank you for your support
