The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 665 Bidder

"Wow, there really is a sucker!"

Someone on the first floor said this, and it immediately caused many people to secretly agree with it.

At the same time, everyone was very curious about the man behind the veil.

However, when looking upstairs from downstairs, the view is even more obstructed, and the gauze makes it even more unclear.

"Six thousand taels of gold, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?" Wen Yan looked at Jiang Suining and the others with a smile.

Pei Zhaozhi frowned. They were following the emperor's order to capture the Xilin spy, so they appeared in this Wuliang Tower tonight. But who were the people opposite them and why were they interested in the Xilin spy?

For a moment, Pei Zhaozhi was full of doubts about the identity of the person opposite him.

The same is true for Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining.

Since Emperor Xiao has handed this matter over to them, it is highly likely that he will not send anyone else to the Wuliang Tower at the same time.

If it was an ordinary noble, it would be unlikely for them to appear in this Wuling Tower, and they would be so generous...

"Could he be from Xilin?" Jiang Suining whispered.

"It's possible." Shen Yanxi responded faintly.

Pei Zhaozhi instantly became extremely alert. Although it was just a guess, if he was really from Xilin, then the number of Xilin Kingdom's spies and secret agents in the imperial city might be more than the ones they had discovered so far.

Shen Yanxi raised his voice and said, "Six thousand five hundred taels."

"Ouch!"

Someone in the crowd downstairs sighed again, as if he was surprised that the same sucker had appeared again.

Through the veil, Jiang Suining could feel the gaze from the opposite side.

Immediately following, he raised the price again, "Seven thousand taels."

"Seven thousand five hundred taels." Shen Yanxi spoke again.

"Eight thousand taels."

The crisp and clear words "eight thousand taels" rang out, causing someone downstairs to exclaim again.

Jiang Suining frowned. The other party's voice was clear and handsome, very pleasant to the ear, but the straightforward eight thousand taels just now made her feel somewhat familiar.

Just as Shen Yanxi was about to bid again, Jiang Suining stopped him.

"and many more."

Seeing that Jiang Suining looked unhappy, Shen Yanxi asked, "What's wrong?"

Pei Zhaozhi thought Jiang Suining thought the price was too high, and said, "If we continue to raise the price now, it will indeed exceed our initial estimate. However, if the other party is really from Xilin, if the Xilin spy falls into their hands, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain, which is absolutely unacceptable."

Jiang Suining frowned, her eyes fell on the figure sitting opposite, and the next moment she spoke loudly.

"Cheng Du, as the younger brother of Master Wen, it's probably inappropriate for you to raise the price like this."

"Cheng Du?" Pei Zhaozhi looked across in surprise.

Shen Yanxi's eyes darkened and he also looked over.

The other party was silent for a long time. He then used his bony hands to lift the veil in front of him, revealing a handsome face. It was indeed Cheng Du.

He looked at Jiang Suining with some curiosity, "How did you find out?"

Today, he had changed everything from his clothes to his hair and even his voice. Plus, with the veil in front of him blocking his view, Jiang Suining should not be able to see his face clearly.

"Mr. Cheng's words just now, eight thousand taels, although the voice is different, the tone is very similar to the firm asking price during the previous cooperation."

At first, she really couldn't recognize the other person's voice, until she heard the words "eight thousand taels" and the tone sounded so familiar, she suddenly wondered if the person behind the curtain was Cheng Du.

Of course, it was just a guess. It was hard to be sure when she tried to test it just now, but fortunately she guessed right.

"Is it just because of the tone?" Cheng Du smiled, "It seems that I was careless."

"Cheng Du, Master Wen, what do you mean by this? You arrange your own people to drive up the price. Is this the rule of your Wuliang Tower?" Pei Zhaozhi looked at Wen Yan with dissatisfaction.

"This matter has nothing to do with my elder sister. I just made the decision when I was free." Cheng Du shrugged his shoulders. "Brother Pei...why should you be angry? It was just a joke."

Although the other party did not reveal his identity, Pei Zhaozhi was still unhappy. What a joke! If Sui Ning had not seen through Cheng Du's identity and stopped Yan Xi from raising the price, they would have paid thousands of taels of gold.

"Whether it's a joke or not, we don't want to delve into it. We just want to ask you, Mr. Wen, how should we deal with this situation?"

"Mr. Shen, how do you want to settle this?" Wen Yan asked back.

"Five thousand taels of gold, and we'll take the person away." Shen Yanxi said straightforwardly.

Wen Yan did not agree immediately, and looked thoughtful.

"Master Wen, since your brother has joined in raising the price, I think there is no one else present who wants to bid anymore. And this matter has been exposed, so why are you still hesitating and wasting time?" Shen Yanxi said in a cold and unhurried tone.

The other people present looked at this situation and began to whisper.

Firstly, he was surprised that Wen Yan had a younger brother, and secondly, it was really shameful to send one's own people to bid.

However, being in this black market, the rules of the Wuliang Tower were all set by Wen Yan, so naturally no one dared to say anything.

After another stalemate, Wen Yan finally nodded, "Okay, it is indeed the Wuliang Tower that is at fault in this matter, so let's do as Master Shen says. As for you..."

Wen Yan's displeased gaze fell on Cheng Du.

"You act on your own initiative and cause trouble. You should be punished yourself."

"Sister, I..."

Cheng Du wanted to speak again, but when he met Wen Yan's gaze, he could only agree guiltily.

With the dust settling on the last lot, the banquet at Wulianglou tonight is almost over.

Pei Zhaozhi's gaze fell on Zhang Sheng once again. He was obviously unwilling to let him leave like this. However, as there were only three of them in this black market and they did not bring any help with them, he was really helpless.

Jiang Suining's sight fell on the other side of the second floor, on the two people who were also blocked by a thin curtain but never spoke up to participate in any bidding from beginning to end.

Through the thin curtain, it was vague and unclear, and I could only vaguely see the hem of the purple robe.

But what is certain is that when they sat down just now, the other party was already sitting there.

According to the rules of Wulianglou, to be invited to the second floor, one must either have been specifically instructed by the owner of the building, or have paid a large sum of money. But no matter which one it is, since one has come here, why hasn't one asked for permission?

Is it because you didn’t find what you wanted, or is it for some other reason?

While he was thinking, a maid came upstairs and asked Jiang Suining and the others to pay the money, and then took the Xilin spy away.

Jiang Suining withdrew his gaze, temporarily suppressed his curiosity, and left the second floor with Shen Yanxi and the others.

The Xilin spy was imprisoned in a dungeon in the backyard of the Wuliang Building. According to the rules, he could be taken away by paying money.

However, as soon as Jiang Suining and his friends arrived at the backyard, they received a piece of news.

Those five Xilin spies are all dead.
