Chapter 157
"How's it going? Did you buy it?"
After the meal, Manager Liu deliberately pulled Liu Jing to a deserted corner and asked.
Liu Jing took the box out of his arms and presented it with both hands.
Manager Liu was overjoyed at first, but then his face fell when he saw what the box looked like.
"what happened?"
Liu Jing sighed, and when he was about to explain in detail, he saw someone else behind Mr. Liu, and he quickly knelt down and said, "I have met the prince."
Manager Liu froze and turned around with a dry smile, "If the prince has any orders, I will arrange it right away."
"Liu Qinglan." Xuan Lin called softly.
With a "touch" sound, Manager Liu knelt on his knees and walked two steps: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation."
Xuan Lin looked at the two of them quietly.
The night wind blew through the grass, making the two people kneeling on the ground shiver.
After a long time, Xuan Lin said calmly: "Tell me."
Liu Jing raised his head and glanced at Manager Liu. After stuffing the box in his arms, he buried his head lower.
Manager Liu licked his dry lips and glanced at Xuan Lin cautiously. It was dim in the night and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could only feel his cold eyes.
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no selfish motives in doing this, and I am definitely not biased towards Dr. Wen."
Manager Liu paused here and considered his words carefully before continuing: "Wood carvings are okay, but jade carvings have spirits. The more vivid they are, the more so. Doctor Wen is the reincarnation of the Green Bamboo Medicine God. If her statue is enshrined, With us, you can be healthy and immune to all poisons."
Xuan Lin snorted coldly, and the night breeze became even colder.
Liu Jing buried his head harder. What on earth was Manager Liu talking about? Not even the prince would believe it.
Manager Liu knew that such nonsense would not work, so he added: "Even if we don't believe it, there are a lot of people in Lanzhou who believe in Doctor Wen. If the jade sculpture is bought back by others and worshiped every day, Doctor Wen will be respected even more, which is also detrimental to us."
What he said just now was nonsense, but it was somewhat true. Regardless of their relationship with Wen Yunxi and Sang Fu, they must control more power.People who can spend money to buy jade carvings back home are at least somewhat wealthy. If Wen Yunxi wins over them, it will be their loss.
"Your Majesty, I acted without authorization and was punished voluntarily, but I did it for the sake of Your Majesty. Please be aware of it."
After Mr. Liu said this, he buried his head again.
Xuan Lin looked at the two people in front of him who had their heads buried in the grass, and finally said: "Get up."
The two men breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to wipe their sweat.
"Where's the jade carving?"
Xuan Lin's words made the two of them tense again.
Liu Jing looked at Manager Liu, who looked to the right and forward without squinting.
"..."
There was no way, Liu Jing could only do it by himself, "Report to the prince, the jade carving was not bought back."
The air that had just warmed up became cold again.
"Why?"
Liu Jing looked at Manager Liu again. This time Manager Liu did not look to the right front. He also turned to look at Liu Jing.
Seeing Liu Jing's grimace, Manager Liu frowned and asked, "You didn't give the money to the Yan family, did you?"
"No, they didn't buy anything."
Manager Liu was a little surprised when he heard this. Didn't Yan Shizong say that he wanted to buy some beauties back?Although he didn't like this kind of business of buying and selling people, he couldn't say much. He could only keep a blind eye, so he didn't know about the auction situation of the Yan family brothers and sisters.
Xuan Lin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked, "But they only sold jade jewelry?"
Liu Jing nodded, "Yes, there is no living thing among the fifteen lots."
"Is there any change in the layout?" Xuan Lin continued to ask.
Liu Jing thought about it carefully, "From what those people said, the layout has not changed much, but a new rule has been added. Everyone must register carefully first, and then put on a cloak and mask before entering."
"Why do you do this?" Manager Liu was surprised.
He has also participated in some auctions with Xuan Lin, and has never heard of such a rule. Even if it is a ghost market auction house, if he really wants to conceal his identity, he is just disguising himself. Why should everyone pretend to be themselves?
Liu Jing shook his head, "The auction house didn't explain it, and other customers don't know the reason either."
It was also his first time to go to the Ghost Market Auction Building. Before entering the building, he told the guards who were going with him to pay attention to the news, so he heard a lot from the guests.
Xuan Lin sneered and said, "It's really a good trick."
Even the ghost market in the west of the city can be held in her own hands. No wonder Jiang Fei was able to get the news about the wood carving auction. This time, she released the news about the jade carvings a few days in advance, presumably to drive up the price of the jade carvings. Unfortunately, he was not fooled.
It's just a jade sculpture. Anyone who wants to buy it can buy it.
Manager Liu and Liu Jing looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
"My lord, you may have thought wrong. If Dr. Wen really became the person behind the ghost market, she would definitely not put the jade carving up for auction. She is a woman after all, and she did this..."
Manager Liu wanted to say that Wen Yunxi was a woman and would not do such an unethical thing, but when he remembered that Wen Yunxi could look at the guards comparing themselves to each other without changing their expressions, and openly get close to Xuan Lin at the Sangfu banquet, he couldn't tell the rest. I couldn't tell.
"When has she ever cared about those false reputations?" Xuan Lin's voice was cold.
There are no etiquette and rules in that person's mind at all. If the jade carving can make her money, she will sell it. It's that simple.
Liu Jing was not stupid. After hearing what Xuan Lin said, he suddenly said: "No wonder those three people suddenly raised the price. They must be Dr. Wen and the others."
Seeing that the two people were focusing on him, Liu Jing quickly explained the auction process in detail. At the end of the sentence, he glanced at Mr. Liu a few more times. If this man gave him an extra box, the jade sculpture might be taken back.
Manager Liu didn't expect this situation at all. When he heard that the starting price was 300 million, he asked Liu Jing to bring 8000 million to be on the safe side. Who knew that not only Wen Yunxi and others were driving up the price, but there was also someone with such deep pockets? people at.
9000 million to buy a white jade sculpture and go back?Even for Wen Yunxi's statue, the price is too high.
Who bought it?
Liu Jing secretly glanced at Xuan Lin. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he felt that the breath on his body was getting colder.
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Jing said: "That person is probably Sang Ao."
"It's impossible. He spent several million to buy a wooden sculpture and then tortured it. It's really hard to understand that he spent 9000 million to buy a jade sculpture and smash it."
Manager Liu knew that Sang Ao hated Wen Yunxi, but this hatred was too strong. That was 9000 million!
"And you just said that Dr. Wen might be at the scene. She knows that Sang Ao hates him, so she will definitely not let the jade sculpture be bought by Sang Ao."
Others would auction it off and either offer it up or keep it for resale, but Sang Ao was completely different. Now that he had nothing to do with Doctor Wen, he would probably vent his anger on the jade carving. Even if the jade carving may not have a spirit, it would still respond to people.
Liu Jing hesitated when he heard what he said: "The man's arrogant tone was very similar to Sang Ao's, and he was able to leave safely before the money was settled, so that's what I guessed."
Xuan Lin rubbed his throbbing forehead, waved his hand and said, "Go down."
Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Manager Liu, and walked away quickly.
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend never dies a poor Taoist. Although I don't know what the punishment will be for Mr. Liu who stayed behind, he has escaped, which is gratifying.
