"Dear distinguished guests, the auction is about to begin. Please don't move around and keep quiet. Next, the auction will begin with the first lot, Fish Shadow Green Lotus, with a starting price of 200,000 US dollars..."

The maid of the Crescent Hotel carried fish and green lotus and began to sell the goods on the first floor for people to watch.

The Fish Shadow Green Lotus is an official kiln from the Qianlong period. It is exquisite in shape and is a rare masterpiece.

"Two hundred and twenty thousand dollars!"

"Two hundred and thirty thousand!"

There was a lively bidding sound soon.

In the private room, Bai Zhixi remained unmoved and still closed her eyes to rest, while Yin Xinyue was eating watermelon angrily.

Soon, more than a dozen lots were being competed for, and more than an hour later, the first round of auction ended.

During the period, Huo Xiangu auctioned a Song Dynasty incense burner with double-dragon hanging earrings, worth half a million US dollars. Apart from that, no one in the second-floor box made a bid. It seemed that they were all looking at the three final auction items.

Went.

During the break, Bai Zhixi finally opened her eyes: "Zhu Yi, go and guard the second master."

"Yes."

Yin Xinyue couldn't help but ask: "Brother Peng, who is this second master?"

Bai Zhixi explained calmly: "He's my second brother."

Yin Xinyue said "Oh" and didn't feel comfortable asking anymore. She remembered that Peng Sanbian did have a group of sworn brothers, but none of them were in Peiping. On the other hand, there was a man named Yueerhong at the nine gates opposite, who was also called the Second Master.<

/p>

At this time, the maid from the Crescent Hotel came on stage again, and the second round of auction officially began.

"Dear distinguished guests, the treasures in the second round of auctions are all rare treasures. The first item is the Deer Living Grass that can bring the dead back to life. The starting price is one million US dollars, and each increase in price will not be less than 50,000 US dollars."

The price of one million US dollars was quoted, and the scene was a little quiet. People on the first floor looked up at the second floor. As we all know, only the second floor can afford the final treasure, and there are few bidders on the first floor.

"One million and two hundred thousand dollars!" Er Yuehong was the first to speak out.

Two seconds later, a quote sounded from the box on Bai Zhixi's right: "One and a half million US dollars!"

The people who made the quotation were those Japanese people.

Bai Zhixi frowned slightly. This was a Japanese-occupied area. Things that the Japanese were targeting were not easy to take away. Even if Er Erhong took the deer live grass, I don't know if the Huo family could take it away based on their reputation in Peking.

Deer live grass.

The bidding continues.

"Two million US dollars!" Er Erhong held the girl's hand tightly, feeling quite nervous.

"Two million three hundred thousand dollars!" The Japanese quoted again.

Bai Zhixi turned around and asked, "What are the origins of these Japanese?"

"Ah." Yin Xinyue quickly swallowed the fruit in her mouth and hesitated: "What is your name, Oda Jiro? The Japanese major general stationed in Peking. He seems to be a noble in Japan, rich and powerful."

Bai Zhixi called Zhu Wu to her side, and after whispering a few words, Zhu Wu walked out of the box.

Yin Xinyue sniffed and wrinkled slightly: "Brother Peng has enmity with the Japanese?"

Bai Zhixi said: "As for the invaders, the invaded people all have grudges against them, don't they?"

"Brother Peng is so righteous." Yin Xinyue gave a thumbs up and laughed twice.

At this time, gunfire suddenly came from the Japanese box, as well as insults such as "Bagya Road".

Yin Xinyue's expression changed slightly: "Mr. Peng, let me go out first."

The entire auction was alarmed by gunshots, and the auctioneer's voice stopped abruptly.

Everyone on the first floor was talking a lot.

"What's going on? Why are there gunshots? What's the food at this Crescent Hotel?"

"The private room on the second floor was occupied by Japanese people. They probably wanted to intimidate them and used guns to scare them."

Er Erhong heard the discussion outside and calmly shouted out a new round of quotations: "Two million eight hundred thousand US dollars!"

The auctioneer on the stage glanced at Yin Xinyue on the second floor, and after receiving permission, struck the first hammer.

"Two million and eight hundred thousand times!"

Peking Crescent Hotel has its own rules. If an auction is in progress, no matter what disturbance occurs, the auction cannot be terminated.

There was a chaos in the Japanese box, with a black poisonous snake scurrying around in the small space.

"Baga! Get the snake out quickly!"

When Yin Xinyue arrived, a steward had already come with a stick slave to catch the snake.

Although the snake is venomous, it is not very poisonous and cannot kill anyone. Unfortunately, only a Japanese non-commissioned officer was bitten.

After the snake was caught, the steward hurriedly came forward to apologize to the Japanese and appease the Japanese.

"Humph, no matter what, your Crescent Hotel must give us an explanation, otherwise I will send the military police over immediately!" Oda Jiro said angrily. He glanced at the first floor and saw that the auction of deer live grass has ended.

If this snake hadn't disturbed him, he would have definitely obtained the deer live grass.

"I wonder what the general wants to explain?" The steward wiped his cold sweat.

"I was frightened, you must use deer live grass to apologize to me!"

At this time, Yin Xinyue walked up: "Crescent Hotel has the rules of Crescent Hotel. The auction is over and the money and goods are cleared. We cannot give the explanation that the general wants."

Oda Jiro narrowed his eyes and said: "Who is your Excellency?"

"Crescent Hotel's young boss, Yin Xinhai, I, the Crescent Hotel, am very sorry that the general was disturbed by the venomous snake, and will give the general adequate compensation, but the deer live grass is related to the reputation of the Crescent Hotel, and we can't give it!

”

Oda Jiro flew into a rage and threatened: "Okay, then I will call the gendarmerie now and surround your Crescent Hotel!"

Yin Xinyue pointed to the door and extended her hand in a gesture of invitation: "General, as you wish!"

Then, Oda Jiro led several Japanese people out of the Crescent Hotel aggressively.

The steward said a little uneasily: "Miss, if we confront the Japanese head-on, will anything happen?"

"Even if my father is here, he will do the same thing. At most, he will be more polite than me. In this way... if the Japanese military police really come, you should send someone to notify my father and let him handle it."

"Yes."

Although Yin Xinyue didn't know what power was behind her family, she knew that the Japanese would not dare to touch the Crescent Hotel easily.

After the housekeeper went down, Yin Xinyue called Ernu and asked: "After the auction started, who passed by the Japanese box?"

"Miss, two maids walked out of Mr. Peng's box one after another."

Yin Xinyue frowned slightly: "Okay, I understand, you go down and work."

Yin Xinyue returned to Bai Zhixi's box. Bai Zhixi was alone, and there was no trace of Zhu Wu and Zhu Yi.

"Brother Peng, where is your maid?"

"Going out to do errands!" Bai Zhixi pinched a grape and started eating it.

Seeing "Mr. Peng" finally eat the fruit she brought, Yin Xinyue suddenly smiled, the gloom in her heart was swept away, and she no longer asked the maid what she was doing.
Chapter completed!
