The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

The high platform outside the residential house in Waiguo City was not demolished because of the end of the Lantern Festival. On the contrary, many cases were neatly placed around the high platform early in the morning.Outside, there are Hu merchants' slaves guarding there. Anyone who wants to sit next to the table must pay a consistent fee in advance.But if you want to participate in the auction, you must pay an additional deposit of ten guanqian.

With the development of commerce and trade in the Han Dynasty, transactions in the form of auctions also occurred from time to time, and it was also the rule of various auctions to pay entry fees and deposits in advance.Gold, silver and copper were relatively scarce resources in the Han Dynasty, so copper coins were also relatively strong. A consistent coin can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and a ten-guan coin is a hundred taels of silver. This price is already much higher than ordinary auctions.However, Wang Shichong had already established his reputation in advance. Although the price was a bit higher, it still attracted many people to attend the auction, including some dignitaries from the court.

Since leaving Luoyang, Wang Shichong has been using business as a cover, and he has won the samadhi among them, and this auction was held with great fanfare.Before the auction started, a song and dance was arranged.Of course, there are only ordinary orchids performing on the high stage today.Every guest participating in the auction conference can also enjoy free wine and delicate pastries.This is also Wang Shichong's attractive trick, so that those guests who paid a lot of money will not feel disadvantaged.

Not only that, Wang Shichong also limited the number of participants in the auction conference.In order to be able to enter the auction meeting, many dignitaries and dignitaries rushed here at Maoshi, and they were even more active than participating in the court meeting.But the time has passed, and there are only some ordinary orchids bouncing around on the high platform.These guests were all dignified people in Luoyang City, so they couldn't help making a noise underneath.

Suddenly, a Persian with a big beard appeared on the high platform and said loudly: "Guests, everyone has already understood the rules of the auction. The highest bidder wins! Next, I will invite the first lot, which is beautiful and sentimental." Mrs. Pars, the starting price is thirty pennies."

This Persian speaks Chinese fluently, but it still caused an uproar under the high platform.There is also a very strange rule in this auction, only copper coins are accepted, gold and silver are not accepted.Thirty copper coins are equivalent to 300 taels of silver, which is not an unattainable price for most dignitaries, but they can only be delivered with copper coins.A consistent copper coin is [-] Wen, and [-] Guan is [-] copper coins, and this is only the starting price, and the final real transaction price must be higher than this figure.Who would go out with so many copper coins?For this regulation, many guests seemed a little helpless and puzzled.

In fact, Wang Shichong also had his ulterior motives in doing so.On the one hand, he wanted to attract Liu Ziqiu's attention through the auction, and then arranged for a few orchids to sneak into the palace to find out the exact news.On the other hand, his ambition has not been completely wiped out, and he still hopes to form his own army to seize the world of Han.Forming an army is inseparable from armor, which requires a lot of copper and iron.Although the Han Dynasty gradually liberalized the trading of pig iron, it had very strict controls on copper that could be used to mint currency.In desperation, Wang Shichong came up with such a way to collect a large amount of copper coins.

However, when the first woman from the West appeared on the high platform, the noise below stopped abruptly.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, these orchids also appeared on the high platform.At that time, a mountain of lights was set up near the high platform, illuminating the site as if it were daytime.But just like the day is not day after all, it is impossible to see very clearly.It was a bright and sunny day, and the foreign woman on the high platform was only covered with a layer of almost transparent tulle, revealing her exquisite figure.It was just the beginning of spring at this time, the snow in Luoyang City had not yet melted, and there was still a thick piece of ice on the surface of the Luoshui River, like a smooth mirror.In such a cold winter season, the orchid on the high platform was only covered with a layer of tulle, which inevitably shivered from the cold.Her breasts were unusually full, and as her body trembled, the two balls of white flesh kept rising and falling, making it even more seductive, making the guests in the audience salivate.

Soon, a young man raised his hand and shouted loudly: "I hit 35!"

Another middle-aged fat man in brocade clothes said slowly: "Forty guan!"

After several consecutive rounds, the value of that foreign woman has soared to 65 guan.

Zhang Liang also sat behind the tables, and occupied a very good position.Seeing those palms raised one after another, he shook his head in disdain, tapped the table lightly, and said flatly: "One hundred guan!"

As one of the first generals who joined forces with Liu Ziqiu, Zhang Liang is no longer the ordinary soldier he was back then.Liu Ziqiu is not the kind of character who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges, and has a lot of care and rewards for the civil and military soldiers who followed him in the army. Zhang Liang is now sitting on hundreds of thousands of dollars.Moreover, copper coins are not easy to exchange for others, but it is not difficult for him.Yesterday in the barracks, he exchanged more than 2 copper coins for a single command, so taking out a hundred coins is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

As one of the few senior generals in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang had many beauties around him, but he had a special liking for Hu Ji.The things that are not available are always the most beautiful. At the beginning, he pursued the dark clouds but failed, and he has always been brooding.Later, he entered and exited the battlefield several times, and when he returned to the West Sea, he had already pushed away the shadow of the dark cloud, which was a lifelong regret.From then on, he vowed to take all the beauties from other races.On the night of the Lantern Festival, although he didn't witness the grand occasion of orchid dancing, he also heard some news, so this time he came today, he was bound to win, and he wanted to take a photo of the most beautiful orchid.

Zhang Liang is no stranger to this kind of auction conference, and usually the best items are saved for the last.However, Zhang Liang didn't have the leisure time to watch them increase the price little by little, so he raised Mrs. Pars to such a high price all at once.

There was a sudden exclamation from under the high stage, but after everyone saw that it was Zhang Liang who bid, no one participated in the bidding.

"Is there anyone else to bid? Is there anyone else to bid? One hundred guan, is there anyone else to bid?" After asking three times in succession, the barbarian who presided over the auction waved his hand lightly and announced loudly: "Pals Madam will belong to this lord from now on!"

Zhang Liang didn't say a word, and waved his hand lightly.Two attendants stepped forward, holding thick blankets in their hands.This is to protect the orchid who only wears tulle from the cold, which shows that Zhang Liang is still very careful.

Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes coming from outside.The crowd who failed to enter the auction conference and could only watch from a distance around suddenly dispersed like a tide.Thousands of black-clad and black-armored cavalry quickly surrounded the auction assembly.The leading general held a longbow in his hand and shouted sharply: "Boys, watch closely! Don't let anyone go!"

Those who entered the auction meeting were all famous people in Luoyang City, who were about to explode, but soon someone recognized them and said repeatedly: "Don't move around, this is His Majesty's personal guard!"

Zhang Liang turned around and saw that he was an old acquaintance. He couldn't help laughing, and cupped his hands and said, "General Da Leng, what's the reason?"

The man holding the longbow was Da Leng, Liu Ziqiu's commander of the bodyguards. He also recognized Zhang Liang, and immediately bowed and said, "General Zhang, I am on official business, so please forgive me for inconvenient ceremony!" After that, he pointed at the private house and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order. People here are suspected of stealing and selling people, and all of them will be brought back for interrogation! Anyone who disobeys will be shot!"

The barbarian who presided over the auction on the high platform was shocked, and quickly bowed and said: "Wait a minute, general, these women were all trafficked from Persia by us, and absolutely none of them were stolen. If the general doesn't believe it, we have Persian women here." documents as evidence!"

Da Leng ignored him, pointing to the shivering orchid in tulle on the high platform, and said to a blond girl beside her, "Go and ask, what is her name?"

Naturally, this blond girl was one of the women sent by Shi Da Nai, temporarily acting as Da Leng's interpreter.She didn't know how to ride a horse, so she was led by a guard, rushed to the bottom of the high platform, and then said a few words to that orchid.

The orchid's fair face was already blue from the cold, and when she heard the blonde girl's question, a look of excitement suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she said something loudly.The barbarian who presided over the auction changed his expression after hearing her words, and then returned to normal immediately.These orchids were indeed purchased from the Persian generals in more than a dozen batches, and they all had documents issued by the Persian official, which fully complied with the laws of the big man, and there was nothing wrong with them.And still in front of so many people, I don't worry that the emperor of the Han Dynasty will do something to plunder.

What's more, Wang Shichong's original intention was to let these women enter the palace. Several of them were forced to take a chronic poison by Wang Shichong. The antidote was in Wang Shichong's hands.As long as these women can enter the palace, it doesn't matter if the auction meeting fails or if they lose some money.

After hesitating, the blond girl had returned to Da Leng's side and whispered a few words in his ear.Da Leng's face darkened, and he said loudly: "It really is the wife of the Duke of Pars! It seems that what Pegg said is true. Come and take them all back!"

The guards rushed into the house like wolves and tigers, and there was a sudden panic.

Seeing this, Wang San, who was guarding the door, rushed into the inner house quickly, found Wang Shichong, and said loudly, "My lord, quickly hide in the secret room!"

After renting this house, Wang Shichong quietly carried out some renovations and built a secret room.But time is running short, this secret room is not considered secret, it can barely hide people.However, Wang Shichong didn't want to fall into Liu Ziqiu's hands, so he nodded and hid in the secret room with two cronies.
