Fabricating the Big Devil's Diary, the Empress and the Saints were all panicked

After a long time, the two sides of the river were still in a mess.

…………

Half an hour later.

Qin Zheng left home and came to Dayou Hutong in the central city.

The Chen family's ancestral house is the only six-entry mansion in Dayou Hutong. It is very conspicuous and Qin Zheng saw it at a glance.

At this moment, there are several warriors with ninth-grade blood standing guard at the door of the Chen family.

Through the conversations with other people who entered the Chen family's ancestral house to participate in the auction, Qin Zheng learned the identities of the warriors at the door.

These ninth-grade warriors are all thugs in the gambling house.

They are responsible for guarding the Chen family and preventing Chen Qing, the prodigal son of the Chen family, from taking the money from selling ancestral items and running away.

Qin Zheng followed other people who came to participate in the Chen family auction into the Chen family compound.

After entering.

Qin Zheng knew that there were two auctions in the Chen family.

One had no threshold.

In the front yard.

The auction was conducted by the old housekeeper of the Chen family. The five-grade items were all old items from the Chen family's ancestral home.

The second auction had a threshold.

Held in the middle yard.

The threshold was an entrance fee of one hundred taels of silver.

The auction in the middle yard was hosted by Chen Qing himself. The items auctioned were all items left by the five-grade Confucian ancestor of the Chen family.

"The thirty taels of silver given by this little maid can't even get into the threshold of the real auction."

"Fortunately, I don't really rely on these thirty taels of silver, otherwise I can only buy junk in the front yard."

After hearing that the threshold of the auction in the middle yard was one hundred taels, Qin Zheng smiled and shook his head.

The next moment.

Qin Zheng didn't waste time in the front yard.

He took out a hundred-tael silver note and handed it to the person guarding the gate of the middle yard and entered the middle yard.

At this moment, there were about fifty chairs placed on the open space in the middle yard.

At this moment, there was only one seat left out of the fifty chairs, and the other forty-nine chairs were already full.

There were three tables not far from the chairs, each with a storage box on it.

In front of the table, a young man stared at the storage box with a dazed look.

"The last seat is here."

"Fifty seats are full, Master Chen, you can start the auction."

The people on the chairs looked at the young man in front of the table and shouted after seeing Qin Zheng come in.

"I know."

Hearing the voice, the young man in front of the table came back to his senses and nodded.

"Brother, you're lucky."

"You took the last auction seat."

When Qin Zheng sat on the last empty chair, a man next to him smiled and said to Qin Zheng.

"Aren't the items being auctioned all items without the spirit of literature and Taoism?"

"Why are there so many..."

Qin Zheng heard the man's words and pointed to the people in the first row of chairs with some curiosity.

Under Qin Zheng's blood and qi sensing

The person at the front even has the blood and energy of a sixth-grade warrior.

A sixth-grade warrior is considered a master in Jiangnan Prefecture.

It is normal for a master of this level to participate in the auction of fifth-grade Confucian treasures with the spirit of literature and Taoism.

But participating in the auction of treasures without the spirit of literature and Taoism is a bit abnormal.

"The Chen family's auction has the auction of treasures of literature and Taoism."

"It's just that some people spread the news that there is no auction of treasures of literature and Taoism in order to avoid attracting too many top forces to bid."

"Look, they succeeded. Most of the fifty auction seats today are small families like us who don't have the financial resources to compete."

"Those big families have only so many people. With so few people, they don't have to worry about too many people and too little porridge. They can auction the items they want at the lowest price."

"But ours is not expensive. The things they don't like are also good treasures for us. We can buy them and pass them down."

The man looked at Qin Zheng and explained in a low voice.

"I see."

Qin Zheng nodded.

It seems that today's auction is the right time to come.

Maybe something good will appear.

Otherwise, those upper-class dignitaries would not spread rumors to prevent more dignitaries from joining in and bidding against them.

Qin Zheng has read too many novels with hidden messages in his previous life.

In this case, there must be good things, and then the protagonist will pick them up.

On the field, the protagonist's face, Qin Zheng looked around.

He is the only one who meets the requirements.

After all, he has the golden finger, the four realms are perfect, and he has two great magical powers. If he is not the protagonist, who is the protagonist?

If the protagonist has it, there is a high probability that there will be good things.

Qin Zheng only needs to wait for it to appear, and then see if he needs it. If he needs it, he will take it directly.

That's it.

…………

"Everyone, now auction the first item left by my grandfather."

"A gentleman's pen that has reached the fifth grade, it is the pen of literature and Taoism used by my grandfather in the past."

"The starting price is 100,000 taels of silver, and those who want it can bid."

Chen Qing, who was sitting at the table, opened the first box after the auction started, took out a white jade pen from it, and said solemnly to the audience.

"I want it for 100,000 taels."

The moment Chen Qing's voice fell, the person sitting in the front immediately started shouting.

After this person finished speaking, the scene was silent, and no one raised the price.

Listening to the offer of 100,000 taels.

Chen Qing showed bitterness in his heart.

The starting price is 100,000 taels.

This is simply an insult to the gentleman's pen of the fifth grade.

The most important thing for Confucianism is the pen of literature and Taoism.

The fifth grade pen of literature and Taoism is worth hundreds of thousands of taels easily.

But here, it can only be sold at a starting price of 100,000 taels.

A man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure.

Although he is uneducated.

But he also knows the difference between having a full meal every day and having a full meal every day.

The Chen family lost all their assets in the Upper City District.

But the major assets in the Central City District can still be lost for three generations.

How could he lose all the wealth that could not be lost in three generations in one night in the casino?

Even the treasures passed down by his ancestors had to be lost?

He was deliberately set up.

The people who set up the trap were the first-class families from the Upper City District.

They had their eyes on the treasures of the Chen family ancestors.

But because the treasures of literature and Taoism left by the Chen family ancestors had long been left with the blood mantra by the Chen family ancestors.

Only the Chen family bloodline can use it.

Or the Chen family bloodline will give it away voluntarily.

Otherwise, anyone who takes advantage of it will not be able to use it and can only treat it as waste.

In order to repay the money lost.

He had no choice but to take out the treasure for auction.

The treasures auctioned off are equivalent to what he gave away. After others buy them, they can use them.

To be honest.

He accepted the trap set by others.

If he was not addicted to gambling, he could not be set up.

In any case, his Chen family ancestor was once the deputy mountain master of the academy.

As long as it was not something he wanted to do, no one dared to force him to do it. If someone really dared, the academy would definitely intervene.

He was set up because he was addicted to gambling.

He accepted it.

Even if he auctioned off the ancestral treasures to pay off the debt, he could accept it.

But what he could not accept was that these people were too greedy.

His treasures worth hundreds of thousands of taels were now bought at a starting price.

It was not that he did not want to get a higher starting price.

But several major families directly took out the starting price of 100,000 taels of the fifth-grade literary treasures such as the Gentleman's Pen when the Tingfeng Tower held an auction to evade him.

Can these two be the same?

The starting price of Tingfeng Tower is only 100,000 taels, and the final price will definitely start from hundreds of thousands.

Even if someone really calls out the starting price and no one else calls out, a force like Tingfeng Tower can still use the reason that someone bid maliciously to make the treasure unsold.

But Tingfeng Tower can make the treasure unsold.

Can he?

He can't.

If he can't, he can only be exploited by several big families.

Sell all the treasures of his grandfather at the starting price.

He has calculated it.

After selling all of them, after paying off the gambling debts, there will be less than 10,000 taels left.

The family business of nearly one million taels, plus the ancestral treasures worth several million taels, he was squandered and only had less than 10,000 taels left.

He is really the biggest loser in the history of the Chen family, the kind who has no face to see his ancestors.
