...

After the widow left, Wei Ying couldn't help but relax her tense nerves for many days, and fell asleep on the table...

I don't know how long she had been, but she was suddenly awakened by a hustle and bustle outside the yard. When she was about to get up, the closed door was pushed open heavily.

Wei Ying thought the official army was coming, and when she was about to get up to greet her, her pupils shrank, and she was so scared that she quickly took a few steps back...

I saw that the person who came was the old Baotou gangsters, who were looking at him with resentment on his face.

At this time, the widow rushed out from behind the old Baotou, glanced at Wei Ying coldly, and immediately said to the old Baotou in a low voice: "Master Bao, look, is this woman lost?"

Old Baotou nodded and said, "You are cognizable, and you will definitely benefit from looking back..."

After saying that, Old Baotou raised his hand, and the gangster beside him immediately rolled up his sleeves to catch Wei Ying.

Wei Ying was so scared that she quickly retreated. When she retreated to the stove behind her, she felt a kitchen knife, swung her fingers away, and said loudly: "Don't come over, you are not allowed to come over!"

"Put down the knife!" Old Baotou shouted angrily, "I tell you, it's better not to offend me!"

Wei Ying looked at the widow and said in a trembling voice: "Why do you lie to me? What did I offend you?"

"Hmph..." The widow snorted coldly, facing the sky, and rolled her eyes at what Wei Ying said with disdain.

Old Baotou simply found a chair and sat down, waved his hand to let the gangster retreat aside, and said to Wei Ying playfully:

"Put down the knife. I've seen many rich ladies like you. I want to seek life and die all day long, but it's useless for me. I have the means to make you honest and peaceful, but I don't want to do this. You should follow me obediently and suffer less..."

Wei Ying said angrily: "I am the princess of the current dynasty and the wife of Duke Zhenguo Li Suwen. How can you treat me like this?"

Old Baotou was stunned when he heard this, stood up and asked, "What did you say? Who are you?"

"I am the Princess Yuxiang of the current dynasty, and the emperor's sister today!" Wei Ying replied loudly.

Old Baotou was surprised to communicate with the gangsters around him with eyes, and then laughed together.

"Hahaha, are you the Princess Yuxiang in the current dynasty? Hahaha..." Old Baotou couldn't stop laughing, and tears fell down, "Then I am still the emperor in the current dynasty, hahahaha..."

Seeing that no one in the room believed his words, Wei Ying looked cold and anxious: "Everything that I said is true! How can you be so rude? You are so arrogant~"

Old Baotou held his smile to stop everyone's laughter, then shook his head and said to Wei Ying: "Who are you saying you are not good to pretend to be Princess Yuxiang? If I hadn't learned some news about the capital, I would have almost believed your nonsense!"

Wei Ying continued to hold the knife and point at the old Baotou and the others, with a look of alert on his face.

But Old Baotou said, "Last month, the capital city sent a death report. Li Suwen's wife, the pilgrimage, was the emperor's sister Yuxiang, died suddenly with February 14th. If you are Princess Yuxiang, who died? Hum? Hahaha..."

"No, it's impossible, you're lying to me!" Wei Ying was shocked when she heard the news and shook her head and said, "I am really Princess Yuxiang, how could she die?"

Old Baotou snorted: "The whole capital knows this, how can there be fake? So who is not good for you to pretend to be Princess Yuxiang?"

OK, I've said that, come back with me, because you are quite beautiful, I will set the bottom price of your auction higher, so that you can suffer less in the future..."

Wei Ying kept shook her head and begged: "Please take me back to the capital, okay? I am really the princess of the current dynasty. When I meet the emperor's brother, I will know the truth and will give you a lot of benefits..."

"I see you are crazy!" Old Baotou said disdainfully, "I'm going to see the emperor? That emperor can meet him as soon as he wants to? Stop talking nonsense, leave quickly!"

After saying that, the old Baotou winked at the gangsters on both sides. The gangsters immediately took out weapons such as axes, whips, and approached Wei Ying with a vicious look on their faces.

"ah……"

Wei Ying knew that she was hopeless to escape, so she threw down the kitchen knife in despair, collapsed by the stove and cried bitterly.

"take away……"

Old Baotou ignored Wei Ying's heartbrokenness, waved his hand and asked the two gangsters to raise Wei Ying on the left and right and walked out the door.

When Wei Ying was taken back to the Locust Temple, it was almost evening. Old Baotou looked at the sky outside and said to Wei Ying with great dissatisfaction:

"It's all your bad things. You can do it today, so I have to support you for a day here. If you can't sell a good price tomorrow, you will suffer!"

After saying that, the old Baotou turned around and left angrily.

But Wei Ying shouted with great grievance: "I am really Princess Yuxiang! I didn't lie to you. Everything I said is true. Why no one believes what I said..."

Seeing that no one believed him, Wei Ying could only sit aside and cry.

This was heard by the slick gangster before. He glanced at Wei Ying, thought for a moment, and then quickly left the temple...

...

On the fifth day of the third month, at the entrance of the slum, a group of horsemen wearing hats came in dust...

Before entering the slum, they were stopped by several gangsters at the door: "Stop, who are you?"

One of them rode forward: "I heard that your old Baotou is going to sell some fresh goods today, so my shopkeeper came here to join in the fun..."

The thug waved impatiently when he heard this: "Why join in the fun? Can you join in the fun at will? Go and go, leave quickly..."

The next moment, the man on the horse took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and threw it into the hands of the talking gangster: "Brother, let's do it. Our shopkeeper was thinking of marrying another concubine, but he couldn't find a suitable woman for several days. Let him come here to try his luck..."

The gangster immediately changed his attitude when he saw that he was rich. He hurriedly said to the person on the horse's back: "Since he wanted to marry a concubine, it's natural, but it's very dirty inside. You dozens of people, if you have horses, you may not be well received..."

When the man on the horse heard this, he took out a tael of silver and threw it into the hand of the gangster: "Then please let this brother take us to the place where we sell fresh goods. As long as we can satisfy our shopkeeper's happiness, yours will be the benefit of looking back..."

The thug held a tael of silver in his hand and was already happy. He greeted several other thugs around him without doubting the identity of these people. He immediately took them to the slums: "Okay, everyone comes with me, but the road inside is narrow and so many horses are hard to walk on..."

"I understand, wait..."

The man who had first talked to the gangster immediately turned around and came to a man behind him who had a black hood covering half of his cheek, and whispered: "Shopkeeper, the negotiation has been made, let's set off now."

"Well..." The face under the hood responded extremely gloomy, "Remember not to make any troubles. Let's make a decision when the situation inside is confirmed. Everything depends on my expression~"

"After... OK... the shopkeeper..."

As for this, everyone abandoned their horses and left several people to take care of them, and slowly followed the thugs who led the way to the place where they sold "fresh goods" in the slums.

It was still the narrow and dirty path, but when the poor people on both sides saw this group of fierce visitors with their blades on their waists, they couldn't help but avoid the road, for fear of provoking them.

"This road is not easy to walk, please take care of me..." The gangster said to these "merchantists" with a smile.

Everyone said nothing, followed the gangsters through several streets, passed through a private house, and endured the stench to the destination of the trip, the Locust Temple.

But I saw that there were already crowds of people outside the Locust Temple. Everyone saw dirty skirts and ragged clothes, like beggars, waiting eagerly for the auction to arrive.

The gangster rudely squeezed away the crowd and smiled at the nobles behind him and said, "Several, come with me, it's too messy here, I'll take you to a spacious place..."

"Well..." The man in the hooded man in the lead responded softly and continued to follow with everyone.

After walking to a small stone table in the Locust Temple, the gangsters dispersed the poor people watching the fun around them, and smiled and greeted the people to the stone table: "You guys, please give it a try first, and you will be at the sales point later..."

After saying that, the gangster was about to leave, and suddenly the man in the hood spoke: "Wait, brother, come here..."

When the thug heard this, he touched his head and came to the hooded man and asked, "What else is there?"

The man in the hood took out a five-cent gold seed from his sleeve and placed it on the stone table: "The golden seed weighs five-cent gold, now it is yours..."

"Oh, this... what should I do..." The gangster was so excited that he couldn't help but put his hand on his clothes and wiped it for a few times, and he immediately smiled, "I really saw the noble person today, so I would like to thank you..."

After saying that, the thug reached out to get the golden gourd seeds, but he never thought that when he was about to touch the golden gourd seeds, he was covered with gold by a man in the hood: "No hurry, I have a few questions to ask you, and I won't break the rules here when the shipment is shipped later."

The thug nodded repeatedly: "You are still as thoughtful as a noble person. In fact, there are no rules here. Since you are also a businessman, you should know the so-called reason why those who are more expensive will get it.

We, Mr. Bao, will bring the goods to the venue to see them one by one. As long as you like them, even if you ask for the price, it is actually not a problem for you to buy all the rich people like Mr. Yi."

When the man in the hood heard this, he seemed to nodded slightly, then let go of his palm covering the golden seeds, waited for the gangsters to snatch the gold excitedly, and after watching it for a while, he said, "Then please help me, brother, take more care of you later..."

The gangster didn't care about so much. He kept looking at the golden seed in his hand and kept saying, "This is what it should be. It's wrapped around the little one. By the way, do you want hot water? I'll make a pot for you now. You can wait and come soon..."

Seeing the gangster leave happily, the hooded man showed a disdainful sneer on the corner of his mouth, and silently waited for the auction to unfold.

After a while, the old Bao, with a bearded face, came to a temporary platform built in front of the Locust Temple. After staring at the bustling crowd, he cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Everyone, let's be quiet. The auction conference has begun now. It's still the same rule. Those who have the highest price will get what you pay for. You can't buy it and suffer losses! Okay, let's not say much, let's start now!"

"Bang~~"

As soon as the words came to an end, the auction conference officially began...
Chapter completed!
