Beautiful mayor's wife

In the large-scale underground space, there is a stone platform more than ten meters high. Dozens of stones of various shapes are placed on the stone platform. Some stones look gorgeous and beautiful, while others look ugly and very rough.

Although these stones have different shapes, they have one thing in common, that is, they are amazing.

Every stone exudes an astonishing aura.

"Everyone must be careful when inspecting, and don't damage these stones." Zhuge Liuyunqian urged Wan.

"Patriarch Zhuge, please don't worry, we will do things in a proper manner." Everyone patted their chests and promised.

"You guys go..." Zhuge Liuyun waved his hand.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

A group of people scrambled to jump onto the stone platform, and then began to circle around dozens of stones.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's the first time I've seen such a good stone in my life. It's a treasure, it's definitely a treasure." A man with a full beard said.

"It looks good... But I don't know if there is any extraordinary baby in it..." A young man with a pale face said.

"It would be great if it could be cut..."

"This is impossible. Every stone here is priceless. Without [-]% certainty, it is impossible for the Zhuge family to cut the stone."

"Okay, everyone, stop gossiping, and quickly identify the stone."

……

Hundreds of people dispersed and began to appraise the stones on the stone platform. Their methods of appraisal were similar. They first stopped to watch carefully for a while, then came up to sniff with their noses, then stretched out their hands to grope up and down, and finally... fell into a in deep thought...

Ma Xiaoyao's way of identifying stones is much simpler. He just touches them with his hands, neither carefully watching nor smelling them. Compared with other people, Ma Xiaoyao looks very different.

After a while, Ma Xiaoyao touched all the stones, and then he stood aside and thought.

He counted just now, and there are 88 stones on the stone platform, a very auspicious number. When Ma Xiaoyao reached out to touch these stones, the mysterious beads floating in his mind would react, and the reaction was not small...

what does this mean?

It means that these stones are treasures, and there is something extraordinary conceived inside.

What attracted Ma Xiaoyao's attention the most was the three stones placed in the center. When Ma Xiaoyao touched these three stones just now, the mysterious beads suddenly trembled violently. This was the first time since Ma Xiaoyao got the mysterious beads... Such a violent reaction.

There is no doubt that the three stones placed in the center must be pregnant with peerless treasures.

To be honest, Ma Xiaoyao really wanted to take these three stones for himself, but... he didn't dare... because this is the territory of the Zhuge family, as long as he dares to move his mind, the Zhuge family can tear him into pieces debris.

It's fatal!

The peerless treasure is placed not far away, and he can touch it with his hand... But due to various reasons, he can only see and touch it at the moment, but he cannot keep it for himself.

Scratch your heart!

Although he was very irritated in his heart, Ma Xiaoyao was very calm on the surface. As a mature man, the first thing he had to do was not to show his emotions or anger. No matter how anxious he was, he must not show it on the surface.

At this moment, Gao Shanshui came over: "Mr. Ma, what do you think of these stones?"

"It's okay." Ma Xiaoyao gave an ambiguous answer.

"Okay?" Gao Shanshui was stunned: "Judging from Mr. Ma's tone... it seems that you don't like these stones?"

"I didn't say that." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head.

"What does Mr. Ma mean?" Gao Shanshui asked persistently.

"Mr. Gao, what do you think? What do you think of these stones?" Ma Xiaoyao asked back.

"I think...not bad..." Gao Shanshui also gave a vague answer.

At this moment, Zhuge Liuyun came over: "Everyone, it's been a long time, you should have a result, right?"

"Patriarch Zhuge, tell me something you don't like to hear..." A dignified old man sighed softly: "These stones have a superficial appearance, and the chance of giving birth to a peerless baby is very low."

"That's right. Although these stones are stronger than the ones outside, they're still limited in strength."

"Patriarch Zhuge, I have to say... your vision for collecting stones is too ordinary..."

"If these stones are auctioned outside... maybe they can fetch a good price..."

……

Everyone is belittling these stones with every word you say.

Except for Ma Xiaoyao, Gao Shanshui, and the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family, everyone else expressed their opinions, and their opinions were surprisingly unified, and they all deliberately belittled these stones.

"What? You all think these stones are not good?" Zhuge Liuyun frowned.

"Patriarch Zhuge, we know that saying this will make you unhappy, but we really can't lie."

"That's right, Patriarch Zhuge, we've worked hard to appraise it just now, and we also want to get a good result...but...these stones are really ordinary...that is, they are a little stronger than the outside stones..."

"Patriarch Zhuge, I advise you to sell them all as soon as possible. There is no point in continuing to collect them."

"Send it to the auction house, so that you can sell more money."

……

Everyone said that stones are not good?Are these stones really just superficial?

No, there are still people who have not commented!

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Gao, what's your opinion?" Zhuge Liuyun asked Ma Xiaoyao and Gao Shanshui for their opinions.

"I..." Gao Shanshui hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I agree with them, these stones are indeed not very good, and they are not worth keeping."

"Mr. Ma, do you think so too?" Zhuge Liuyun turned to look at Ma Xiaoyao.

"This..." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "I'm not sure yet..." Ma Xiaoyao clearly felt that when he said this, many people cast hostile glances at him, even Gao Shanshui Also frowned.

"Not sure?" Zhuge Liuyun raised his eyebrows: "Why not sure? Mr. Ma, do you have something to hide?"

"Patriarch Zhuge misunderstood." Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "I have nothing to hide! The reason why I can't be sure... is because the environment here is too noisy, so I can't calm down to appraise the stone... Before I am fully sure, I don't want to draw conclusions."

"That's it..." Zhuge Liuyun's eyes showed disappointment. He originally thought that Ma Xiaoyao had a different opinion, but who knew... Ma Xiaoyao's answer was actually like this?He murmured in his heart: Those elders really hit the mark, the appraisal result is very bad... If this gets out...it will be a big trouble...

If you want to find a safe way to silence these people, the best way is to kill them, but...it would be too cruel...

It's better to give more benefits, and use benefits to seal the mouths of these people.

"Patriarch!"

At this moment, a servant ran over from a distance: "Patriarch, something is wrong! There are many people outside, who say they are here to collect debts... You should go out and have a look."

"I see!" Zhuge Liuyun nodded with a calm expression: "Go and tell those people, just say that I will go out to meet them right away, and let them stay calm."

"Yes!" The servant took the order and left.

"Everyone, the stones have been identified, so let's go out." With a wave of his sleeves, Zhuge Liuyun jumped off the stone platform first, and the others hurriedly followed.

After a while, everyone returned to the ground.

"Everyone go back and rest, I will hold a banquet for everyone in the evening." Zhuge Liuyun left in a hurry after leaving a scene.

Ma Xiaoyao stood where he was, looking at Zhuge Liuyun's leaving back, with a hint of thought in his eyes.

"Mr. Ma, can you take a step to speak?" Gao Shanshui said in a low voice.

"Okay." Ma Xiaoyao followed Gao Shanshui to a deserted place: "What does Mr. Gao want to say to me?"

"Mr. Ma, let me tell you straight to the point." Gao Shanshui said with a serious expression, "I hope you... can keep silent and stop talking nonsense."

"Talking nonsense?" Ma Xiaoyao's mouth twitched: "I don't quite understand Mr. Gao's meaning?"

"Then let me explain in more detail. If Zhuge Liuyun asks you about those stones, you can just say that those stones are bad and not worth collecting."

"Why should I listen to you?"

"As long as you listen to me, I will give you a generous reward. In addition, I owe you a favor."

"Mr. Gao, what exactly do you want to do?"

"There are some things you'd better not know, because if you know too much, you will get into big trouble."

"You just said you'd give me a reward?"

"Correct."

"What's the reward?"

"How about 1000 million taels of silver?"

"Exchanging silver for gold is about the same..."

"Deal!" Gao Shanshui made a decision on the spot: "As long as Mr. Ma helps me with this favor, I will give you 1000 million taels of gold." Having said that, Gao Shanshui added another sentence: "Besides, I still owe you a favor .”

Ma Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes: "Just to keep me from talking nonsense, you gave me 1000 million taels of gold... It seems that you have a big plan."

"Mr. Ma, just give me a sweet word, can you help me with this?" Gao Shanshui asked in a deep voice.

"Those people...have you bought them too?" Ma Xiaoyao was talking about those stone gamblers.

Gao Shanshui shook his head: "I don't have such great financial resources, nor do I have such great ability."

"Oh? So someone else bought them?"

"Mr. Ma, you have too many questions! As I said just now, it's better that you don't know some things."

"I just want to figure things out, and I don't want to be calculated in a daze."

"I can assure you that I absolutely did not mean to plot against you. If you still don't believe me, I can swear! Swear by my ancestors!"

"...You have already talked about this point. If I don't agree...it will appear a little disrespectful." Ma Xiaoyao sighed softly.
