Chapter 2467 Auction
The largest auctioneer in Nanzhou was Shui Yichen. Anyone who entered the auctioneer needed an invitation and a deposit of fifty thousand taels. Those who could enter the auction house were not ordinary people. Ye Zhen originally It was only because of the Thousand Herb Pendant that I was able to enter the auction hall.
Shui Yichen left China, and the leader of Nanzhou was changed.
Yejia Auction House.
Seeing the big Chinese characters on the door lintel, Ye Zhen thought that this Ye family should have nothing to do with her.
"Xiaoyao, it seems very interesting inside. Let's go in and have a look." Fanfan took Ye Zhen's hand to walk into the auction hall, but was stopped before he walked in. Anyone who wants to enter the auction hall must first You can also pay a deposit of 100,000 taels, or replace it with a treasure of the same price.
"Still going to such trouble?" Fanfan asked in surprise, where could they find 100,000 taels?
Ye Zhen put the three hundred thousand taels of silver notes in the man's hand, "Can you go in?"
That person probably didn't expect Ye Zhen to be able to take out so many banknotes at once, and he didn't react. Who would be walking outside with so many banknotes, and she was still a woman.
"What's wrong? You can't go in yet?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully. There were many banknotes in her space, and these banknotes were still universal in China. They were left behind a few years ago. She didn't know how to Never used it.
"Please come in." The gatekeeper came to his senses and hurriedly welcomed Ye Zhen in. He packed the three hundred thousand taels in a brocade box and planned to tell his boss about it quickly.
Ye Zhen took Fanfan and the others into the auction hall. It was very big inside. The auction table was semicircular and carved from huge stones. There were dozens of round tables in front of it. The second floor was full of side rooms, but it could be seen more clearly. See the scene at the auction table.
They were led to a wing on the second floor, facing the auction table.
"Xiaoyao, what are you doing?" Fanfan's eyes were full of surprise. This was the first time she saw such a place.
"Someone will come out to auction things soon, let's just watch the excitement." Ye Zhen whispered. She was very curious about this auction hall. It can replace the Shui family's auction hall so quickly, which shows how powerful it is.
Guan Jie stood beside Ye Zhen expressionlessly. He didn't seem to have any curiosity about everything around him, as long as he could be by Ye Zhen's side.
Not long after, the auction started downstairs.
"Xiaoyao, are they... selling people?" Fanfan looked at the eight young men and women who were led out from the auction stage in surprise. The men were young and strong, and the women were as beautiful as flowers. Their hands and feet were all tortured. Holding the iron chain, he looked ahead numbly.
"Well, auction the slaves." Ye Zhen whispered. Nanzhou is connected in all directions, and many overseas businessmen like to buy slaves back.
At first glance, these people were not locals. They were probably brought here for auction by overseas businessmen.
Fanfan took a deep breath and said, "Aren't you all human? Can people... buy and sell like this?"
"There is nothing that people can't do." Ye Zhen said. She didn't like this kind of graded auction, but she couldn't change this situation at all.
"What can these people do if they are bought back?" Fanfan asked, and she suddenly discovered the difference between mortals today and before.
Although mortals were divided into different levels in the past, there was no such auction method at that time. At least they had to fight to determine the outcome, and the loser could mortgage his or her life. It was too undignified to rely on silver to determine the rest of one's life.
"The lucky one is a servant." Ye Zhen said softly, "The unlucky one... I don't know either."
Fanfan didn't ask any more questions. She looked at the auction table silently.
"Don't expect to save them. Even if you save them, they still won't be able to escape. If they are caught, they will only be punished even more." Ye Zhen whispered.
If letting them go would be useful, she would have saved people a long time ago.
Fanfan glanced at Ye Zhen, "I understand, if the Lord is here, he will definitely not let this happen."
If Wen Tian was here, he would already be the most terrifying threat on this continent. Who would dare to go against him? However, Ye Zhen felt that she had never seen the continent ruled by Wen Tian, and it was difficult to draw conclusions about many things, so she did not respond to Ying Fanfan's words.
Then some rare medicines and treasures were auctioned. Ye Zhen never saw the person she wanted to see. It was getting dark outside. She remembered Shui Yichen who was still on the boat, "Let's go."
Fanfan had already calmed down from his initial curiosity and excitement. He had not noticed it before when he was in the Central Plains. Only when he arrived here did he realize that after tens of thousands of years of changes, this continent was no longer their original continent.
Maybe even if the Lord wakes up, it won't be that easy to reunify the continent.
"Next, the final treasure appears." The auctioneer shouted loudly.
Ye Zhen, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly stopped and looked back at the auction table.
"Xiaoyao!" Fanfan shouted in a low voice.
"Do you feel it?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Fanfan nodded lightly, "It's the breath of a monster."
Ye Zhen looked at each other and she also sensed the existence of a monster. Although it was not a high-level monster, it was the first time she felt the existence of a monster after landing.
"It's a low-level monster." Ye Zhen said, it should only be cultivated to the second level.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a large cage rolled out from the auction platform, containing a snow-white cat with two ears. Its crystal blue eyes looked at the mortal in front of it with fear.
"What are they going to do?" Fanfan asked.
"What is this?" someone had already started to ask.
The auctioneer smiled mysteriously, "You must have never seen this kind of demon cat. The heart of this kind of demon cat can prolong life and cure all diseases. Its fur is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is a rare treasure in the world. This is us Today’s finale, the low price is one hundred thousand taels.”
"Nonsense!" A flash of anger flashed in Ye Zhen's eyes. How could the heart of a cat with two ears prolong life? It was all nonsense.
Fanfan murmured, "A mortal dares to even auction a monster beast... It's really too bold."
"Two hundred thousand taels!"
"Three hundred thousand taels..."
"One million taels!"
"..."
Ye Zhen looked at the crazy people below, and the confusion in her heart became more and more serious. Since there are low-level monsters here, it means that there must be monsters in China. Why were they not destroyed?
Where do these mortals get the confidence to think that monsters will not harm them?
Although the two-eared cat is not very aggressive, it is still a monster.
Or did they not know it was a monster at all?
"Sell whatever you want, you can't buy this cat with two ears!" While Ye Zhen was deep in thought, Fanfan had already appeared on the auction stage and shouted angrily at the crazy people.
