After the scene gradually quieted down, everyone's eyes turned to the only ink painting.

When the shopkeeper's policeman unfolded the canvas, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Good painting, good painting, the scenery in the painting can give people an immersive and lifelike feeling from a long distance."

Zhu Zhiye was already a little distracted, and hurriedly urged: "Shopkeeper, make an offer."

This time, the shopkeeper stood on the market in person, and said with a smile: "I think you all know that this painting is the second painting that the Sword and Pen Cthulhu has appeared in this world so far. It has been five or six years since the first painting. I really don't know what year and month I will have to wait for the next time. Today, everyone came here because of the reputation of the evil god of knife and brush, so for this finale ink painting, I will only start the auction at the price of the master's masterpiece that year, one thousand gold .”

"One thousand gold?"

There was an uproar on the field.

For those who lack money, this is naturally a sky-high price, but for rich people, money is just a number, and being able to win this painting is the most important thing.

Immediately someone responded: "I will offer two thousand gold."

"Two thousand gold?"

All eyes turned to the bidder.

"The third master of the Zhuo family offered two thousand gold."

Hearing the name of the Zhuo family, Hua Rujin followed suit.

Wu Muning complained in their ears dissatisfied: "The Zhuo family is here to join in the fun."

Then he reminded Zhu Zhiye: "Your Highness, the Zhuo family is as rich as an enemy, this time I'm afraid you can only give it up."

"Why?"

Zhu Zhiye stared at the third master of the Zhuo family without showing any weakness: "I will offer five thousand gold."

The people on the field did not know the identity of King Ning, and some people followed suit and said: "I will offer six thousand gold."

Third Master Zhuo glanced at the two of them unhappily. It is understandable for one to appear out of nowhere. If you have a few coins, you dare to challenge yourself, you don't know how to live or die.

He immediately waved his hand and shouted: "I will pay ten thousand gold."

"I will offer [-] gold."

Zhu Zhiye counted the money in his hand, and said cautiously.

"Thirty thousand gold."

Third Master Zhuo shouted again.

"Fifty thousand gold."

Zhu Zhiye gritted his teeth hard.

Hearing this price, everyone's eyes widened and they didn't dare to speak again. Even Zhuo Sanye became cautious.

Looking at the entire provincial capital, there are only a handful of families who can spend so much money to buy a painting.

Some officials in plain clothes hidden in the crowd recognized His Highness Ning Wang, and hurriedly whispered in the ear of Zhuo Sanye: "This is a nobleman in Beijing, His Highness Ning Wang."

Hearing King Ning's name, Third Master Zhuo didn't dare to underestimate him. Although he was not as noble and prominent as King Fu, he was the emperor's son after all. How could he dare to fight with him?

It's not easy to expose his identity, so he got up quickly, and said with enthusiasm: "It's rare to meet someone who loves each other, why don't you let me buy this painting and give it to your brother?"

"Who is sympathetic to you, the Zhuo family is a well-known imperial merchant in the Daye Dynasty, and I dare not stand up to you. I dare not take the word "brother Taiwan". If the third master Zhuo cherishes money, then I have no choice but to reluctantly take this picture. .”

Now that Zhu Zhiye already hated the Zhuo family, this person dared to call him brother and brother, but he really thought that he was a famous person with the support of the King of Blessing.

Furthermore, the two had no friendship, so he bribed himself with paintings, didn't he want to put himself out of the conversation.

Third Master Zhuo intended to give in, but he didn't appreciate it, and even humiliated himself with money, completely refusing to give himself up.

This is not only disrespecting the Zhuo family, but also disrespecting King Fu. The third master Zhuo also ignored the eyes of others, and said directly:

"To tell you the truth, I'm a rough person. It's only because my cousin His Highness Fu Wang likes Mr. Daobi's calligraphy and painting, so I want to buy this painting for His Highness Fu Wang in Beijing to feast his eyes on. Since Your Excellency refuses to accept my offer So kind, then I have no choice but to face the difficulties."

After finishing the words, he gestured a finger smartly and shouted loudly: "I will offer one hundred thousand gold."

Although King Ning is a prince, his hands are naturally not so rich.

It's just that he couldn't bear it, and was about to continue bidding up, when Hua Rujin immediately stopped him: "Your Highness, this is the thing that King Fu loves, why do you have to fight with it?"

King Ning didn't understand what he meant, and when he heard it, he became more angry. Hua Rujin hurriedly whispered in his ear: "The Zhuo family's financial resources are indeed extraordinary, but they have dedicated such precious things to His Highness King Fu. What should His Majesty do if he finds out about it?" ?”

King Ning suddenly realized: "Father has always been frugal, and brother Fu has always boasted that Zhuo's family is the top of the imperial business, so he entrusted many important errands to Zhuo's family, but what I saw and heard this time when I came out this time shows that Brother Fu's words are not true, one painting can be bought with one hundred thousand gold, I am afraid that the Zhuo family really enriched their own pockets and took a lot of money from the court."

"Since this is the case, why should His Highness care about the gains and losses of a painting?"

Hua Rujin smiled and said: "Although what happened today is not enough to prove that the Zhuo family is tricky, but many things have accumulated over time, and one day they will explode completely. The Zhuo family is now on the cusp of the storm, but the third master Zhuo does not know how to restrain himself. He will only do it for the Zhuo family." Even King Fu attracted more suspicion."

Although Wu Muning likes the calligraphy and painting of the evil god of knife and brush, but at this time her heart has become abnormally calm, and she echoed:
"Your Highness, what shopkeeper Hua said is reasonable, not to mention the Zhuo family, even you, if you spend so much money to buy a painting, your Majesty will be dissatisfied if you find out. The "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" by Mr. The auction price of [-] gold was deliberately done by the great grandfather to appease the elders of the previous dynasty. Although Mr. Daobi's paintings are precious, but asking for [-] gold is somewhat arrogant."

Zhu Zhiye was well aware of his father's temperament, after some careful consideration, he stood up straight, and smiled calmly at the two of them: "Listen to you."

Afterwards, he led the two of them straight out of the auction house.

On the way to the inspector's mansion, Zhu Zhiye looked at the calligraphy and painting in Wu Muning's hand, felt a little bit unwilling, secretly clenched his fists, and said aggrievedly: "Damn Zhuo family, how dare you rob this king?" Beloved, little Hua'er, you will definitely investigate the Zhuo family this time, I don't believe that the Zhuo family is a Qingliu sect."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, if the Zhuo family is really tricky, Mr. Ye will not ignore it."

Hua Rujin comforted softly.

It's just that King Ning's words contained some personal grievances, and she would not prejudice the Zhuo family because of today's incident.

Wei Lao's six-character motto of "light tongue, heavy evidence" reminds her all the time, if she wants to clear up the grievances of Mu Ran's cousin, she still has to find a way to prove that the murdered Mr. Zhuo is not a criminal. There is madness.

The Zhuo family is so powerful, how should she thoroughly investigate this person?
For a moment, she also fell into silence in confusion.
