Chapter 85: Fighting painting is worse than fighting wine (2)

When Zhan Xu was about to take Li Fusheng to the auction, he frowned.

All the people he sent to monitor Zhou Rusheng and Lianhua were dead, and the whereabouts of these two were unknown.

But now he can't investigate this matter personally. The most important thing now is to get the recipe for the fairy music. As long as the recipe for the fairy music is, Zhou Rusheng will not be important this time. However, now he has lost the news about Zhou Rusheng. What if Zhou Rusheng deceived him?

Zhan Xu didn't have much time to think about these things, so he could only take a deep breath and take Li Fusheng to the auction.

The auction is located in the south of the city, only a few hundred feet away from the south of the city gate. This is a two-story building, round, like an altar when the Holy Emperor of Chang'an sacrifices to heaven.

The plaque of this building contains the word "完". This building is the famous Houtao Building in Xuzhou and belongs to the Houtao Auction House.

On weekdays, there is no one in this building at all. It will not be opened until someone has something to be auctioned.

Not to mention this building, even in the south of the city, there are not many people on weekdays. Wu Daozi's paintings were released tonight, so it was naturally very lively. There is no need to say much about the painters in Xuzhou. Even if they can't afford it, they still want to come and see it, so they tried their best to get a lot of qualifications for entry.

It is said that it is the qualification to enter, but it is actually an invitation. Don’t underestimate this invitation. Now someone has already paid 500 taels of silver for each. According to the current living standards of the Holy Dynasty, twenty taels of silver is enough for a family of three to spend a year in Chang'an. The invitation for each silver for 500 years is a sky-high price.

At this time, the city guards were surrounded by troops around the Forakusa Building.

Although it is rumored that this Houdao Building has the background of four major families, it is not necessary for the city guarding army to come to help. The main reason is that this painting has caused a lot of controversy recently. In addition to the news of Xuanyuan Rende, the most influential news in the hearts of the people over the past year is this painting by Wu Daozi.

In order to prevent chaos here, it is not uncommon to grab things at auctions, and the auction is very large in scale. If you are not careful, there may be large-scale casualties. Therefore, the prefect here and here directly lined up the defending troops in order to ensure safety.

With the help of the army, even the two men who were usually hated could only glar at each other, say a few harsh words, shake off their own wallets, show their financial resources, and line up to enter the auction house honestly.

Of course, there are also people carrying boxes into the auction house. Such people are generally nouveau riche and are particularly confident in their strength.

Zhong Ling is neither a nouveau riche, nor is he particularly confident in his strength, and is modest and polite. But, behind him, two people were following him, carrying a box.

In fact, this kind of behavior is more vulgar and rustic in the auction house. Generally speaking, as long as the price is quoted, the handover will be completed within six hours. If everyone is carrying a box of silver notes like him, then the auction house will not be able to sit down, and it will be extremely chaotic.

But if only a few people came in with a box of silver notes or silver, they wouldn't mind.

Zhong Ling came to the door, handed out his invitation, and heard the annoying voice behind him.

"It's still the same rustic, and vulgar!" Zhong Ling frowned and turned around and saw that it was really Wang Yanqing.

Bai Qiaoer looked at Wang Yanqing curiously and then at Zhong Ling. She always felt that these two people had known each other for a long time. But when they met, they would start to harm each other if they didn't meet, which made her unable to make sure and her eyes could only turn back and forth between the two.

"What are you glaring at me? Yes, you buy the painting first, and then give it to me with both hands!" Wang Yanqing glanced at Zhong Ling, carried his back basket and hat, and directly passed by Zhong Ling, and entered the auction house with a swagger.

Zhong Ling looked at Wang Yanqing coldly, and then hurried into the auction house.

As for Xie Tiannan, he did not follow Wang Yanqing. If he appeared with Wang Yanqing, it would inevitably attract attention and it would not be worth the loss. But in the same way, if he followed Wang Yanqing and heard Wang Yanqing's words "It's still the same soil", he would be alert.

Zhan Xu and Li Fusheng naturally mingled among the crowd and entered the field in a low-key manner.

Even many people entered the auction house together, such as Xie Tiannan and Zhou Rusheng.

From the outside, this kind of auction is divided into two floors, but when you enter the inside, there is only one floor. The auction stand is at the lowest point, and opposite the auction stand is the gradually increasing seat. Those who can come in to auction are all big figures, so naturally they cannot stand.

And at the highest point, there is an extra small platform, and there are eight private rooms on the platform. Looking from the private room to the auction table, you can see clearly from a condescending place.

These eight private rooms are mainly set up for distinguished guests at this auction. There is no need to say more about Zhong Ling. He became famous in the battle of Qicheng, and he was also brothers with the King of Chang'an, so he was naturally distinguished guests. He was arranged in the Tianzi Jia Room.

These eight house prices are divided into four characters: Tiandi Xuanhuang, and each character has two characters: A and Yi. Zhong Ling entered the Tianzi Room, and Wang Yanqing was directly arranged to enter the Tianzi Room opposite. Wang Yanqing was arranged to make everyone have a good attitude of watching the show. Moreover, the relationship between the two people is stronger and more interesting.

As for how much silver you really expect to spend in Wang Yanqing to spend in this kind of good auction, it is definitely impossible. The story of Wang Yanqing eating the King's meal twice has spread throughout Xuzhou.

If it weren't for his opponent being Zhong Ling, the two of them had a painting fight after the auction, so the kind auction house wouldn't bother to pay attention to Wang Yanqing.

Everyone who comes in will have a number plate, which will be convenient for raising the plate when auctioned later.

Zhong Ling No. 1 and Wang Yanqing are No. 2. Even the numbers of these two people were written out and posted on the wall for everyone to know.

The two of them didn't care about this kind-hearted auction to attract attention, and they both didn't care. They both had their own concerns. Especially Zhong Ling, when he came here this time, he did not really want to spend the money, but wanted to find a way to attract the people from Xie Tiannanhe's Shenletang. As for Wang Yanqing, he didn't know what he was thinking, he just sat alone in a generous private room and drank alone.

It took about half an hour to enter the venue.

Finally, candles lit up around, as bright as daylight.

A white-haired auctioneer walked up to the auction table tremblingly. He was a famous auctioneer in the Holy Dynasty. He has been doing this from young to old age. Of course, his fame is not because he has experienced many auctions, but because he is a real master of the Star Shaking Realm!

If the seal had not been opened, the demon clan appeared, and the practitioners appeared in front of the world, I am afraid no one knew how strong this auctioneer was!

"Everyone..." The old voice sounded, and the auction suddenly became quiet.

"Thank you for your visit. Although many people are coming for the works of Wu Daozi's Painting Saint, there are also many fine products in this auction. Please give me some advice!"

After saying that, he picked up the hammer on the auction table and smashed it down, and the sound was like thunder.

"Auction, start!"
