After rebirth, I became the richest man in the capital

Chapter 197 Black shop!

The man who was called over seemed to be familiar with the strangeness, and after he answered, he was about to lead a few people in.

"Bosses please."

The few people followed the man's guidance calmly, and they arrived in front of a restaurant that seemed to be very large in size.

After Meng Liangchen got off the carriage, he looked up. The restaurant was four or five stories high, and it was very exquisite. The outside was also painted with a layer of oily red paint, and the glazed tiles were shining brightly under the sunlight.

She was very amazed at the wisdom of the ancients, who could build such a tall and magnificent wooden building in the age without bricks, lime and steel bars.

Meng Liangchen turned his head and looked around, and found that the surrounding buildings were also very beautiful and magnificent, and secretly sighed in his heart how rich Guancheng is here.

Several people were led into the restaurant, the man who led them said something to the shopkeeper standing behind the front desk, the shopkeeper lazily raised his eyelids, and looked at the few people, Then he quickly lowered his head and went to Bala to calculate.

"There are still three medium rooms, how many do you want?"

Meng Liangchen looked back, plus those waiting outside who didn't come in, there are nine of them in total, three rooms, why can't they live in it?
Tian Jiao smiled at the shopkeeper, and said, "Shopkeeper, we have a lot of people, can you make room for us?"

The owner of the showcase really didn't raise his eyes, and said in a flat voice: "No, I can't live in love!"

Meng Liangchen and the others were surprised. This is really a shop bullying the owner. There are many people in here, but the background of this shop is unknown. But no one dared to say anything about it.

Lianyi and Murongshu immediately lost their temper.

"We can't live anymore! Liangchen, let's go!"

"In such a big city, there is no place to live!"

As they said that they were about to pull Meng Liangchen away, the shopkeeper snorted, but he didn't even want to keep anyone. The man who brought them stopped them immediately.

"I'm afraid this is your first visit to the border town, ladies? If you want to buy salt, you have to live here. If you live elsewhere, it doesn't count!"

Meng Liangchen asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Can't buy salt if you live elsewhere?

The man smiled and said without hesitation, "The auction will start tonight. If you don't stay here, the restaurant will be closed and you won't be able to come in, and you won't be able to participate in the auction."

Several people showed surprise on their faces, and a flash of shock flashed in their eyes.

Going back on his promise to hold an auction!

Several people looked at each other and decided to stay to find out, so they turned around and walked back to the counter.

Tian Jiao slapped a piece of silver on the counter.

"Shopkeeper, we want all the remaining three rooms!"

The shopkeeper still didn't look up this time, as if he was not surprised by this, he reached out and took out a piece of paper from the counter, pointing to the inkstone and ink next to it.

"Sign, draw and deposit, pay a deposit of 300 taels!"

Several people were shocked again, Tian Jiao couldn't help but was about to speak when Meng Liangchen grabbed her arm.

She put a banknote on the table, her tone was flat.

"We want it."

The shopkeeper only raised his eyelids at this moment, and seeing the 1000 tael banknote, his originally blank expression looked a little better.

He reached out and took the bank note, looked at the official seal on it, confirmed the authenticity and source of the bank note, and then put it away.

"After the auction is over, the deposit will be refunded only if it does not violate the rules on the painting. The second one! There are three general rooms upstairs!"

What he meant was that there was no possibility of retreating! !

Several people understand it, but they don't care about it for a while, let's talk about it after clarifying the matter!

Before facing the wounded building, Tian Jiao picked up a pen and wanted to draw a bet, but was stopped by the shopkeeper, who had to ask Meng Liangchen to draw a bet.

"The master's bet counts, so forget it."

The tone should be as contemptuous as possible, and everyone suppressed their anger based on the principle that more things are worse than less things.

After arriving in the room, Xiao Er went out, and after Tian Jiao made sure that the door was closed, all the people exploded, complaining one after another.

Lianyi slapped the table angrily, and was afraid that the partition wall would have ears, so she growled, "What kind of place cannibalize people without spitting out their bones! It's a black shop!"

Murong Shu sat at the table without making a sound, while Meng Liangchen frowned thoughtfully.

"There should be a backer, and I feel full of confidence. I'm afraid I didn't do this in a short time."

And this backer, it goes without saying, is the local government.

From this point of view, the problem in this border town is probably very serious. The officials sent by the imperial court can't pass on the news. I'm afraid it's not that they don't want to pass it on, but they can't pass it on.

Several people discussed in the room for a while, and decided to pretend to be a businessman for the time being, and wait for the auction at night to see what happened.

After having dinner in the house, Tian Yu observed that the restaurant closed its doors early, almost at the same time as the city gates closed.

It seems that preparations for the auction have begun.

Just as the lights were on, there was a knock on the door.

"Bosses, the auction is about to start. Dear everyone, go out objectively and get ready."

When Meng Liangchen came out of the house, he found that the downstairs was already full of people, and even the upstairs corridor was full of businessmen who came out to participate in the auction.

To Meng Liangchen's surprise, she saw Boss Zhang among the crowd on the same floor! !
Boss Zhang seemed to have noticed her too, he greeted Meng Liangchen with a smile, and walked towards her.

When Boss Zhang came over, he realized that there were other people beside Meng Liangchen. When he saw Cheng Yuan, his face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were a little avoiding. Cheng Yuan glanced at him, then looked away, Boss Zhang The tense back relaxed for a moment.

Meng Liangchen was a little surprised and said, "Boss Zhang, are you here too?"

Boss Zhang nodded. Going back to this period of time, his meat seems to have grown back.

It wasn't until he found out that Cheng Yuan was no longer in the same place at some point, that his expression slowly returned to normal.

"Yes, I came half a month ago."

Meng Liangchen was surprised: "Half a month ago? So early?"

Boss Zhang said: "Aren't you afraid that there will be no room to live in? There will be an auction every month, so the rooms here will be fully booked soon. When did you arrive?
He probably thought that Meng Liangchen and the others came here to auction off the salt, so it was reasonable to ask.

Meng Liangchen said calmly, "We just arrived today."

Boss Zhang was a little surprised and said: "Then you are very lucky, there are no rooms on weekdays." He pointed to the downstairs and said: "But I'm afraid it's not easy to shoot today, there are too many businessmen from all walks of life. "

Meng Liangchen looked at the people in the hall, his eyes flickered.
