Killing System, the Ultimate Killer

Chapter 226 The auction begins



I came to Hexicheng just to buy those shops!

These days, they can be said to be eagerly waiting for Sheng Huaian to come back.

Some people can't wait to form a caravan and want to go to the Western Regions.

A hundred years ago, there was gold everywhere in the Western Region. Now the opportunity to pick up gold has come, how could they miss it.

Once they purchased the shops in Hexi City and had a transit station, those wealthy businessmen were ready to take action.

"Xun Huan, that's great. I just heard that King Sheng Wu returned to Hexi." Lin Tian ran into the inn excitedly.

"Okay, don't get excited, Brother Lin, I already know." Li Xunhuan said.

"Brother Xunhuan, I have recently heard that many people are discussing setting up a caravan to go to the Western Regions. Do you think we should also set up a caravan?" Lin Tian said longingly.

"Building a caravan requires a lot of effort. With your small body, can we bear it? We have to eat our food one bite at a time, so there is no rush!" Li Xunhuan glanced at Lin Tian.

"Brother, King Shengwu is back." Shen San ran into an inn and said to his brother Shen Yan.

"Is King Shengwu back? The auction is expected to start soon. Are we ready with all the money?" Shen Yan asked.

"Brother, the money is already prepared. We have raised two million taels of silver and it is enough to take photos of some shops."

The two brothers Shen Yan are from the Shen family of Luzhou. They are a big family with a large business scale. The family has been engaged in silk weaving for nearly a hundred years and has accumulated a solid family business. This time the two brothers came to Hexi City, ready to flex their muscles and expand the family business. !

The wealthy businessmen who heard that Sheng Huaian had returned to Hexi City were all gearing up and waiting for the time to auction the shops.

Everyone knows that the auction of shops in Hexi City is the signal to open the business route in the Western Region.

Even the empress far away in Luojing is paying attention to this matter.

"Your Majesty, King Shengwu has returned to Hexi." Han Yanran came to report.

"Oh, has Sheng Aiqing returned to Hexi City?" Han Jiangxue paused while reviewing the memorial.

"Let people pay close attention and tell me the results when the time comes."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Many courtiers in the court were also paying attention to this matter, and some even sent people to Hexi, intending to take down a few shops and buy some property for their descendants.

Soon, three days passed, and the time officially came to this day.

In the past three days, Sheng Huai'an had been building momentum for the auction, and the entire Hexi City was waiting for this day to arrive.

There were already many people gathered in front of the auction house.

A team of elite soldiers guarded the gate, and no one dared to mess around.

The soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons were full of evil spirits and were all martial arts masters. The leader was a school captain who was in the acquired realm.

Even though many of those wealthy businessmen themselves had some cultivation base, and some were still in the innate realm, no one dared to make a mistake.

No matter who is holding the auction, King Shengwu of the Wei Dynasty.

"Crunch!!"

The door of the auction house slowly opened.

Wang Zhan came out, looked at the large crowd of people, and said, "Everyone, my prince said that if you want to enter the venue, you have to pay one hundred taels of silver."

"What? You have to pay to go in?!" Someone said dissatisfiedly upon hearing this.

"That's it, I've been waiting for so long, but I still have to pay before I can go in?"

Wang Zhan's piercing gaze glanced around, which immediately made many people feel chilled.

As the captain of Sheng Huaian's personal guard, he followed Sheng Huaian in countless battles and killed countless enemies. The evil aura in his body was naturally unmatched by ordinary people.

Coupled with the aura of cultivation in the middle stage of Xiantian, many people immediately shut up.

Dare to fry wings in Hexi City?

I'm afraid I've found the wrong place, this is the base camp of the Hexi Army.

"Everyone, the seats in the auction house are limited and cannot accommodate too many people. In order to avoid crowding, the prince has ordered that you must pay one hundred taels of silver before you are eligible to enter."

"If anyone is dissatisfied, you can go to the prince to argue!" Wang Zhan said calmly.

As soon as they heard that they were dissatisfied and went to King Shengwu to argue, those people fell into despair instantly.

Many people had no choice but to leave. They originally wanted to join in the fun. If they were asked to pay a hundred taels of silver, wouldn't that cost their lives?

Thousands of people left in an instant, most of them left immediately.

"There are two of us!" Li Xunhuan led Lin Tian forward and took out two hundred taels of silver notes.

From the auction house, a few more people came out and started collecting money.

Someone took the lead, and others started to pay.

One hundred taels of silver per person, but the person who collected the money was merciless.

Among the wealthy merchants who are coming to the auction, who is short of the one hundred taels of silver?

Not enough for them to eat a meal.

Soon the three thousand seats were full, and Wang Zhan immediately asked the soldiers to close the door.

"Close, the auction seats are full!"

"What? The seats are already full?!"

"No, we haven't gone in yet!"

"Wait for me, we haven't gotten in the car yet!!"

Wang Zhan ignored those people and asked the soldiers to close the door.

People who didn't have time to pay to enter immediately became anxious. What the hell, they were locked out before they even got in.

The guarding soldiers swung their spears horizontally, their eyes full of evil spirits.

Those who originally wanted to force their way in could not help but swallow their saliva when faced with the murderous eyes, and could only give up unwillingly.

Three thousand people were seated at the auction venue, and the lights were brightly lit.

Elite soldiers stood aside to maintain order to prevent anyone from causing chaos.

On the high platform, Chen Zhifu of the Hexi Protectorate stood there.

He was pushed out by Sheng Huaian to be the auctioneer. Originally, Chen Zhifu wanted to find a beautiful woman to be the auctioneer.

But who made Sheng Huaian appoint him!

He was the prefect, but he was reduced to being an auctioneer.

"Ahem, everyone, be quiet!" Chen Zhifu's voice sounded.

The people who came to participate in the auction looked at Chen Zhifu on the auction platform.

"Interesting!"

"It seems that King Shengwu is very fond of Chen Zhifu as the auctioneer."

"Hehe, isn't that good? Only when King Shengwu values ​​it can it be guaranteed."

"Everyone, this auction will be hosted by this prefect, and I won't waste your time. Now I will start auctioning five Class C shops, starting with a combination of 50,000 taels of silver."

Hearing this price, many people frowned. This price is too high.

Class C shops start at 10,000 taels each, which is almost as high as the capital.

However, someone soon started bidding.

"Fifty-five thousand taels!"

"Fifty-six thousand taels!"

"Sixty thousand..."

"One hundred and one thousand!"

"Is there any higher price than this?"

"One hundred and one thousand once!"

"One hundred and one thousand twice!"

"One hundred and one thousand taels, three times, deal! Congratulations to this distinguished guest."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that there are only two thousand shops for auction in the entire Hexi City, one thousand Class C shops, seven hundred Class B shops, and only three hundred Class A shops along the busy streets in the city center."

"All 50-50 combinations!"

As soon as the words of the prefect Chen fell, many people felt bad instantly.

50-50 combinations, auctioning five shops at a time, this will make many people unable to bid.

"Damn, who came up with this idea, it's too absolute." Someone muttered dissatisfiedly.

In this way, the competition will be too fierce.

"Nima, who came up with this, which auction house auctions like this?"

Thousands of alpacas ran through the hearts of countless people.

"Okay, the second group, still five Class C shops, the starting price is 50,000." Prefect Chen didn't care what the people below said.

Anyway, this is what Sheng Huaian told him to do, he just needs to do it.

At this moment, Sheng Huaian was also on the pavilion, watching the situation at the auction venue.

"55,000!"

"60,000, I'll bid 60,000!"

"65,000!"

The competition was obviously getting fierce.

"115,000 taels, the third time, deal!"

The auction continued to move forward, and seeing groups of shops being auctioned off, many people couldn't sit still and began to participate in the auction.

Those who were thinking about buying one or two shops were stunned. Why are they still playing like this!

It's really unethical!

Bundled sales showed its power at this moment.
