Chapter 511 An Unexpected Encounter

noon.

Tang Xiu saw Li Laoshan who was full of joy. What made Tang Xiu dumbfounded was that Li Laoshan had a big scene. There were sixteen bodyguards in black suits and black sunglasses. When they met him, they happened to be in a family The entrance of the hotel attracted many people's attention, thinking it was a movie!

"Brother Li, can we keep a low profile?"

Tang Xiu was wearing casual clothes, a peaked cap, and a large black sunglasses on his face. The main reason for his attire was that in the morning, when he was shopping with his aunt Tang Min, he encountered countless crowds of people watching. After all, today is different from the past. At first, there was the Guqin playing and singing at the New Year's Party of Shanghai University, and later, the little genius doctor of Xingcheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine visited him, which made him look like a star now.

wrong!

He is even more popular than celebrities now. Anyone who recognizes Tang Xiu, from eighty-year-old aunts to teenagers, pays tribute to him one after another. There are countless people asking for autographs and group photos.

Li Laoshan grinned and said, "Brother Tang, there is nothing I can do about it! With the ancient sword of fish intestines, I am afraid that someone with a heart will be tempted! But you, why are you so low-key? If it weren't for my bad eyesight , and I know you very well, I really don’t recognize you.”

Tang Xiu smiled wryly and said, "I still don't think this is low-key enough! Ever since the video of my consultation in Xingcheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was uploaded on the Internet, I felt as if I was suffering when I went out. People would recognize me wherever I went. Now I I can't wait to go to country H and give my face a good plastic surgery."

"Hahaha……"

Li Laoshan laughed loudly and said: "I also watched the video of you attending the consultation in Xingcheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and it was very good. Especially the conversation about donating later, it really warmed my heart. Although I am in There is no achievement in medicine, but we have a heart of truth and kindness! So, I also donated one million to the fund of Xingcheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Not to mention, the official website of Xingcheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has a fund column, which is really good , transparent enough, and enough to reassure well-meaning people who donate."

Tang Xiu smiled wryly and said, "The matter of donating money can be regarded as a good thing I did unintentionally! Okay, let's not talk about this topic, let's talk about the next underground auction, where is the venue?"

Li Laoshan said: "The venue is very hidden, hidden to a place you can never imagine. Come with me! There are less than two hours before the auction. If we hurry up, can we arrive before two o'clock?" question."

Yongding River!

One of the five major water systems of the Imperial Capital, the largest of the five major water systems of the Haihe River, and the largest water system in the city. And the underground auction held was on the Yongding River.

"Brother Li, are you mistaken? Are we really going to take this small wooden boat to participate in the underground auction?" On the river bank in a certain area, Tang Xiu looked strangely at the dozens of small wooden boats in front of him, and those with headsets. , the big man in a black suit asked in an unbelievable tone.

Li Laoshan grinned and said: "How is it? Didn't expect it? Every underground auction held by the Situ family will be amazing. This year's new trick really did not disappoint me. See? The row in front I know those people on the boat, and they also came to participate in the auction."

Tang Xiu looked around, nodded and said in admiration, "It's indeed novel, and the people of the Situ family really have a lot of brains. Let's go! Since we came to the right place, let's go directly to the auction venue to have a look. I really want to see what it’s like there.”

Li Laoshan smiled slightly, and when he arrived at the boarding port side by side with Tang Xiu, he was stopped by those guarding the ship. One of the big men checked the invitation card Li Laoshan gave them, and then said: "Mr. Li, you can only bring three people on board at most."

"I know!"

Li Laoshan nodded, and after boarding the boat with Tang Xiu, he gestured to the two bodyguards, and then a group of four people boarded the boat,

Paddle towards the distance in the river.

Ten minutes later, Tang Xiu finally saw the scene of the auction venue. Looking at the middle of the wide river, a platform half a meter above the river surface was temporarily built by someone, and there were boats all around, each boat was tied up with iron chains, and the two floors even spread to the shore.

"Brother Li, I was also drunk after seeing this scene."

Tang Xiu shook his head dumbfounded, and couldn't help sighing.

Li Laoshan thought it was quite novel, he laughed and said: "It's really interesting. Looking at the boats, many people are familiar, and even a few of them are acquaintances. By the way, we came late, I'm afraid we have to take pictures. Is it in the back? But it’s okay, it won’t affect our bidding.”

Tang Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "I just came here to learn a lot. By the way, I watched you fight with the guy who tried to get your fish gut sword and fight financially. I'm afraid this kind of auction house is useful to me." Not much. By the way, at the auction, if you don’t have enough money, I can lend you some.”

Li Laoshan laughed dumbly and said: "Brother Tang is joking. Although the Shengtang Group has made a lot of money recently, there are more places that need money. I think it's fine to borrow money from you. Don't worry! I have prepared enough money this time." If it exceeds my budget, then the Fish Intestine Sword will be sold at a high price."

Tang Xiu's expression changed, and he asked, "Are you really willing?"

Li Laoshan said: "I'm a bit reluctant, but everything has its value. If it exceeds that value, if you continue to spend money to buy it, it will not be worth the loss."

Tang Xiu gave a thumbs up and said in admiration: "Brother Li is really a hero among men who can afford it and put it down. It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise I must toast you."

Li Laoshan smiled strangely: "Whoever said there is no wine, I dare say that within three minutes, someone will definitely bring wine to us. Believe it or not?"

Tang Xiu was surprised and said, "Will someone give us wine? Is it true or not?"

Li Laoshan pointed to the rowing boats, and said with a smile: "Did you see that? Those boats should be for loose tea, wine, and fruit plate desserts for the guests who come. The members of the Situ family have one thing in common, that is, I especially like to drill, and I am considerate of everything in the world, I heard that every underground auction will make the guests feel at home."

really.

A few minutes later, a small boat rowed to the side of Tang Xiu's boat. After fixing the boat to the iron rope with a rope, a big man in hardcover said to Li Laoshan and the others, "Everyone, you are welcome to participate in the imperial capital auction." Yes, my Situ family is taking inventory of the items that will be auctioned. If you also bring items you want to auction, you can get a registration form from me, and then give the items to me. After the valuation, I will ask whether you will sell them or not. ..."

Li Laoshan took the rectangular wooden box from a bodyguard, handed it to the big Situ family man, filled out a document, signed a commission agreement with the other party, and then took the tea and fermented wine handed over by the other party, even There are things like fruit plates and snacks.

"The arrangement of the Situ family is really good. It's just that I have heard of some big families in the imperial capital, but why haven't I heard of the Situ family?" Tang Xiu asked in a low voice after waiting for the other party to leave.

Li Laoshan said with a smile: "After all, the Situ family is a strange family. There are not many family members. Even though this family has a huge wealth and a deep network of contacts, their family is not involved in politics after all, and each of them They are all very low-key, that's why they don't have much fame. However, don't underestimate this family, I dare say that compared with the Situ family, those medium-sized families in the imperial capital are probably half a catty."

"So powerful?"

Tang Xiu said in surprise.

Li Laoshan said: "A family that has been in business for a hundred years may have a very deep foundation, but the Situ family has been in business for more than a hundred years? It is said that it was a time of turmoil. The Situ family tried their best to hide it, which greatly avoided the loss of the family. Later reforms The torrent also did not have much impact on their family. Therefore, don't underestimate the Situ family."

Speaking of which.

Li Laoshan lowered his voice a lot, and continued: "Brother Tang, you are a martial arts practitioner. You should know that those families now value not only the wealth they own and the rights controlled by the clansmen, but also a large part of it. , is the strength and number of the family's warriors. And I heard that the Situ family is also a family of martial arts, and all the members of the clan are masters on top of each other."

Tang Xiu nodded and said: "The member of the Situ family who brought us something just now has pretty good skills. I'm afraid your skills, Brother Li, are not as good as the other party's."

Li Laoshan said embarrassingly: "Don't mention my little strength, brother Tang, it's not enough to be embarrassing! Usually, I can only barely deal with a few hooligans. When I meet a real master, I will be punched and kicked twice. They can knock me down."

Tang Xiu smiled slightly.

Time passed, and it was already two o'clock in the blink of an eye. As boats continued to arrive, the guests who came to participate in the auction took more than a hundred boats. In other words, there were at least a hundred guests who came to the auction this time.

"It's about to start."

Li Laoshan saw a woman wearing a red windbreaker, red leather boots, and a fiery red dress stepping on the platform built in the middle of the river, touched Tang Xiu's arm and said.

Tang Xiu looked around, his expression froze.

"Why is she?"

Tang Xiu raised his arm and rubbed his eyes, only to find that he was not mistaken at all, the woman in red was none other than Ouyang Lulu.

However, Tang Xiu's astonishment was not over yet, and a person he didn't expect appeared. Tang Xiu is very familiar with this person, someone who once hated, once hated, and once wanted to beat her up.

"Brother Tang, my enemy is here."

Li Laoshan touched Tang Xiu and said in a low voice.
