Chapter 115 There is no gold under the knees

But the Ming family's backers would not see the whole situation being controlled by Fan Xian. Eunuch Huang said after a little bit of a slight silence, "Mr. Xia, I heard that the fight in Suzhou City started again last night, and the noble family suffered a lot... However, Yu Li was not in line with the hospital when wearing mourning."

After all, Xia Qi's origin was not glorious, so the old lady from the Ming family dared to invite the Junshan Association masters to sniper. After all, if Xia Qifei could be killed, it would solve too many problems. And it could be pushed into the chaos of the martial arts world afterwards.

What Eunuch Huang said at this time is nothing more than just trying to confirm this.

Fan Xian was disdainful of calculating these nominal things with the other party. Instead, he heard Eunuch Huang say that he was admitted to the hospital with mourning. After Yu Li was not in line with the eight characters, his anger gradually arose, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly: "Eunuch Huang, don't force me to get angry."

Although this sentence is light, the sound is like scraping out of the gaps in the iceberg and rushing out of the abyss under the ground... so cold and cold that makes the listener shudder.

Don't force me to get angry!

This sentence penetrated into Eunuch Huang's ears, which made the old eunuch shudder and stopped talking quickly. If he didn't be angry with this young girl who was killed, let him go. Anyway, the Ming family has been preparing for a night. As long as he keeps his eyes on it, there will be no problem. If Fan Xian takes the opportunity to start a storm at this time, who can stop him? It would be bad if something bad is not good.

Guo Zheng, who was about to speak, also felt cold in his heart and quickly choked back what he was about to say. Last night, they thought Fan Xian would act recklessly in anger, so they had already written memorials and prepared to seize the handle of Fan Xian... Unexpectedly, Fan Xian kept calm, which made him and Eunuch Huang feel very disappointed, and they also knew that the evil fire in Fan Xian's heart was always holding back, and I don't know when it would burst out.

When he thought of the ministers and ministers who fell under Fan Xian, Guo Zheng also retreated. The eldest son mainly protected the land and was the share of the Ming family, not the face of the Ming family.

Another cannon sounded, and paper scraps outside the inner warehouse mansion flew around, and the smoke gradually increased.

Fan Xian narrowed his eyes and looked at this familiar scene. Somehow he thought of last year, on the day he left the Northern Qi Dynasty and the moment he heard about Zhuang Mohan's death. On that day, he went out of the gate of the capital to see him off, as if he was seeing him off for everyone in Zhuang.

Today, firecrackers are seeing off those who died last night?

Xia Qifei and his subordinates walked back to Room 4 in silence, took off the leucorrhea belt tied to the ground on his head, carefully spread it on the table, straightening it, and the brothers behind him also took off the leucorrhea belt with their elder brother, straightening it, one by one. It was strong and powerful.

Fan Xian frowned imperceptibly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The official in charge of the ceremonies in the inner warehouse stood on the stone steps again, and the bidding for the second day of the inner warehouse officially began.

Yesterday, there were five standards, and there were 16 standards in the inner warehouse. In addition to the last two points, the eight standards were left, and there were three standards left. They were sung at the beginning.

The Ming family still did not bid according to the agreement between the merchants in Jiangnan. Instead, Xia Qifei seemed to have not been disturbed by the incident last night. He began to bid calmly and seized one of the bids. The other two bids were obtained by the Xiong Family in Lingnan and the Chen Family in Hangzhou. This was probably what he had discussed last night in Jiangnan.

The bid that Xia Qifei won was still on the north route. After Fan Xian received the quote from the flower hall, he confirmed that Xia Qifei had obtained the bid, and couldn't help but nod his head secretly. Xia Qifei was not intent on acting, which made him appreciate very much.

The bidding for these three bids was dull. The price was basically the same as in previous years, and there was nothing surprising, but the merchants and officials in all places did not respond much, because everyone knew that today's important scene was behind, and the Ming family was in the last eight bids that must be won.

"The goods on the second yard of Southeast Road and Sea Road are four standards in total. I started publishing books. Those with the highest prices... get..."

The official of the Transport Department of the Inner Trust stood on the stone steps and shouted expressionlessly. He didn't know how many years he had been shouting this sentence. Every year after this sentence was heard, only the Ming family would respond, and no one would rob the Ming family, so he felt boring and boring when shouting.

But this year is different.

The singing sound fell, and the first person to open the door and hand out the kraft paper seal was Room B.

There was a buzzing sound in the house. Xia Qifei. The seventh young master who was rumored to have abandoned the Ming family finally began to attack the Ming family.

Ming Qingda's expression in the first room of A still remained unchanged. It seemed that she had already expected this situation. In the past few years, because of her strong strength and the eldest princess was watching the trial, no one in the Jiangnan businessmen dared to bid with him, so the Ming family in the latter eight and Cui family in the first six were all playing a one-man show.

After singing this kind of drama for a long time, I will eventually feel tired. Today, I finally have someone to compete with the Ming family. Ming Qingda was slightly alert and also felt a little excited.

He smiled and said to his son beside him, "Duo Er, suppress him."

Ming Lanshi was shocked. His father meant that the first round of bidding was 20% higher than last year's price? Then if Xia Qifei really had enough money in the second round and continued to follow, how could he withstand it?

Ming Qingda picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The 20% more is not Xia Qifei, but someone else."

Ming Lanshi was puzzled and thought that in the local cottage house today, who would dare to compete with his family for these two major goals except Xia Qifei, who was supported by the imperial envoy? In the heart of the Ming family, he still firmly believed that Xia Qifei's confidence came from the money that Fan Xian privately mobilized from the Ministry of Revenue, and the rest of the people did not have the strength at all.

Ming Qingda didn't say anything, but his heart seemed like a mirror. Fan Xian asked Xia Qifei to sweep goods everywhere yesterday, which was to turn the rest of the merchants in Jiangnan into a hungry wolf, and a hungry wolf would dare to bite anybody's meat.

When two kraft paper seals were handed into the flower hall, all the businessmen and officials who were concerned about the matter dropped their butts back to their seats and breathed out a breath, knowing that the good show was officially staged.

But it seems that many people have not guessed the direction of this drama.

The door of Room B, No. 1 was slowly pushed open, and a letter of kraft paper was handed out and sealed into the hands of the official in front of the door.

Quanzhou Sun Family!

The courtyard was in a big uproar, and no one expected that the Sun family in Quanzhou would come to grab this hot soup when the two tigers were fighting!

"Sun Family!" Ming Lanshi looked at his father in shock and said, "Where did their family come from so much money?"

Ming Qingda's expression remained unchanged and said, "The Sun family is not enough. Can't the few families get together? Don't you think that the old man Xiong Bailing has become too quiet today? There are also those families who have been staring at us. If there is no ghost in their hearts, what are you doing for so long? There are no flowers on my face!"

In the main hall, the officials sitting in the three Grand Master chairs also had their own thoughts. Fan Xian had expected this development a long time ago, so he was not surprised. However, Eunuch Huang and Guo Zheng gritted their teeth. They thought that the Sun family in Quanzhou were too brave and dared to come out to make trouble at this time!

As everyone was watching nervously, the first round of bidding came out. Fan Xian took the quotation comparison order from the flower hall and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that it was not unreasonable that Ming family could have been in Jiangnan for so many years.

In Fan Xian's plan, the last four bids were the time when he and the Ming family fought hard to make a price, because the amount of money moved from the Northern Qi Dynasty. Although the amount of money was huge, the turnover required too long, and there was still a limit. Moreover, after Xia Qifei won the five bids, he also paid a huge amount of silver.

If you can make false rushes without limit, Xia Qifei can make the Ming family vomit blood one after another. The problem is that Fan Xian has always been unable to see Ming Qingda. The nominal master of the Ming family seems to be more than just nominal. Fan Xian cannot tell if he really makes false rushes, will Ming Qingda ignore the princess' strict orders and kill his hands!

If the silver that Fan Xian has in his current hands is used to make a price increase, he can only be sure that Ming's family will be seriously injured in the second fourth consecutive bid.

If the Ming family really plays a ruthless game in the third round, let go of these four consecutive bids... Xia Qifei's price is too high, there are only two outcomes. One cannot get 40% of the silver medal at all, and the other is that after successfully winning the previous four consecutive bid, there is no more effort. Watching the Ming family seize the four consecutive bids behind without any effort.

The second ending was not what Fan Xian wanted. He had no way to control the delivery route to Dongyi City, so in the eyes of the Ming family, it was an indispensable fourth-continent bid for him. He didn't want Xia Qifei to really take this bid, but if he watched the Ming family so easily take the fourth-continent bid behind him... Fan Xian... couldn't swallow this breath.

As for the first possibility... if the price really hits, under the gaze of Eunuch Huang and Guo Zheng, and with so many people watching, all the efforts in the inner treasury will really be wasted, and Xia Qifei is afraid that there will be no way out.

To sum up, in the plan formulated by Fan Xian in advance, the first four consecutive bid was to let the Sun family in Quanzhou come out to set off firecrackers. Xia Qifei's bid was just a shot, and he did not intend to fight for his life.

But looking at the quotation for the place handed over by the flower hall, Fan Xian knew that the old man from the Ming family had already guessed his arrangement, so the first round of bidding actually reached such a terrifying amount!

The Sun family dared to take action today because they conveyed past information through Shi Chanli last night.

But facing the Ming family's attack that was like a mountain-like pressure, and recalling the Ming family's brazenly sent people to assassinate Xia Qifei last night, and the fire of civil and military attacked each other... Fan Xian began to worry that the Sun family might be scared by this round of bidding and dared not raise the price.

As the situation developed, Fan Xian did not want to see the situation slipping away. When the official who was singing the ceremony shouted a price of 3.8 million taels of silver from the Ming family, the yard was in a turmoil.

The door of No. 1 B has never been opened since then, and the Sun family was indeed frightened.

Fan Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the Ming family in Room 1, and began to consider whether the two men were really as the investigation results of the Supervision Bureau in the assassination incident last night, and did not participate much. The person in charge was purely Mrs. Ming.

Assassination of Xia Qifei seems reckless, but when combined with today's fierce offer, it can scare away many enemies who want to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos.

If Ming Qingda was really a person who could take advantage of the situation and even his mother would use it, Fan Xian felt it was necessary to reexamine the other party.

As soon as the first round of quotations came out, Eunuch Huang and Guo Zheng stroked their beards and laughed, but Eunuch Huang did not have any beard under his jaw, so it seemed a bit funny. But at least it can be seen that the two of them were quite satisfied with the Ming family's actions and the reactions of everyone.

Room No. 4 was calm, and through the window frame, Xia Qifei looked at Fan Xian with a consultation look.

Fan Xian sighed helplessly and smoothed the flying hair on his forehead with the palms of his hands. The code meant to let Xia Qifei slowly draw him. Since the Sun family withdraws, Xia Qifei must continue to bid, but the bid must be mastered well.

Not only do you want to make the Ming family hurt, but you can't be too cruel, but you have to make the other party take over the first four consecutive marks with satisfaction, without suddenly giving up. Throw these four consecutive marks to yourself.

This is a very difficult situation. Even if Xia Qifei has several veteran officials from the Ministry of Revenue behind him, it is difficult to deal with it.

The officials who sang the ceremony stood on the stone steps again. There were two such things. The expected big fight between the eldest son of the Ming family and the seventh family did not happen. The robbers in the fourth house completely lost their ferocity yesterday and bid very cautiously.

However, although he was cautious, the price of the first four consecutive bid was slowly raised to a jaw-dropping level!

This is certainly because the Ming family’s first round of bidding was 20% higher than last year’s bidding, and another reason is that the Fourth Room of B entangles the other party like a candy.

The bid was successful in the end... It was indeed the Ming family. The result was the same as it has been for so many years, but the price was marked but it changed a lot from previous years.

Five hundred and twenty thousand taels!

Everyone opened their mouths wide, listening to the price tag, thinking that if the bidding rules for the inner treasury were five rounds, I was afraid that Xia Qifei from Room 4 and Ming Qingda from Room 1 of Room A would raise this price to twice the price last year!

This price is really a bit outrageous.

But Fan Xian knew that this only shows that the price of marketing rights was a bit outrageously low in the past few years under the command of the eldest princess. The Ming family would not lose money at this price. Maybe there would be a big profit - of course, this must be that the Ming family still dared to do pirate business and still dared to smuggle Dongyi City under Fan Xian's nose.

So Fan Xian smiled and was very satisfied with the result. The Ming family is waiting to spend money on this bid this year.

"Friend A, Ming family, 5.12 million taels, get it!"

The official of the ceremonial transport department, who had been unable to help, reported that the quotation was the largest bid in the past ten years since the opening of the quotation, finally became energetic. The quotation sound was loud and powerful, and it was loud and clear, without delay, and it seemed extremely straightforward.

No matter what attitude the businessmen who had towards the Ming family felt a little excited and sang for this number.

On the contrary, there were two fathers and sons of the Ming family in Room No. 1, but there was no joy on their faces, especially Ming Qingda's eyebrows with a slight worry.

What he thought was the same as what Fan Xian thought. If there were no shameful means to help, the four consecutive bids... would be compensated.

The most important thing is that Xia Qifei's bidding seems to be of great help, and he is very responsible. This bid of 5.12 million taels will be left with more than 2 million taels of silver in a while... What's more, the other party's real bid for life must be at the end.

Last night, Mingyuan raised silver overnight, and the six houses raised only more than 600,000 taels, which was far less than the 1.35 million taels set by Mrs. Ming. This four consecutive bids have exceeded Ming Qingda's psychological budget too much. What should we do later?

There is still half of the silver supply in Taiping Money House, but no one knows what will happen later. Ming Qingda gently pressed his hands on the wooden box beside him, thinking about something.

Ming Lanshi glanced at his father with a tired face and felt extremely distressed. He knew that his father had not slept all night last night and went to several large money houses in Suzhou City to adjust silver overnight. It was not until the early morning that he finally got a safe number. In this box, the cash tickets were issued by the 100,000 yuan in the investment bank.

"You said, will the imperial envoy still want the four consecutive bids behind this?" Ming Qingda sighed tiredly.

Ming Lanshi didn't know how to speak.

The day has been moved, and the internal treasury bid has come to an end. The food was carried in by the yamen runners of Suzhou Prefecture and Transportation Department for all adults and merchants. Although the food provided by the officials is not as good as the food in the homes of these wealthy people, these merchants still eat with relish and gather next to the depressed Quanzhou Sun family, asking about what happened.

People are looking forward to the afternoon, which is the final decisive battle. In the morning, the terrifying amount of five million taels of silver was already paid. How dazzling was the afternoon?

No one noticed that Ming Qingda walked to the main hall silently and came to the side hall where several bigwigs were having their meals. He didn't avoid suspicion and said with a smile: "I have met Eunuch Huang and Censor Guo. I have something to say to the imperial envoy, and I would like to ask the two adults to do it for convenience."

Eunuch Huang and Guo Zheng were stunned, thinking that what was the game? Could it be that the Ming family wanted to turn to Fan Xian in front of themselves? But it could not be so upright... Ming Qingda had been in the Ming family for a long time and had a strong relationship with the high officials in the court, and had a sense of majesty in his heart. Eunuch Huang and Guo Zheng looked at each other and believed in him, so he smiled and left room to talk to Fan Xian.

There was no one in the hall. Ming Qingda raised his front with some difficulty and knelt in front of Fan Xian, without saying a word.
