After the Tang brick was smashed open, there was nothing in it.
Young Master Zhang immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap.
”Son of a bitch, how dare you cheat me!”
Young Master Zhang glared at Ye Qiu, trembling with anger.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “Young Master Zhang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense. When did I cheat you?”
”Obviously it’s just an ordinary Tang brick. If it weren’t for you, would I have spent ninety million to buy it?”
Thinking of spending ninety million to buy a Tang brick and smashing it with his own hands, Young Master Zhang’s heart was bleeding with anger.
Ninety million! Just like that gone. Anyone would be unable to tolerate this.
Not only that, this matter will soon spread throughout the capital city, and he, Young Master Zhang, will become a laughingstock for others to talk about after a meal.
Even, he has already thought of what others will say about him.
“Look, the second son of the Zhang family is a fool.”
“That’s right. Buying a broken brick for ninety million. How could a normal person do such a thing?”
“The Zhang family has a spendthrift.”
Ye Qiu said with a smile: “Young Master Zhang, it’s not right for you to say that. If you didn’t raise the price, this Tang brick would be mine. It was you who insisted on buying it.”
“Moreover, there were so many pairs of eyes on the scene watching.”
“You didn’t smash out a treasure from the Tang brick yourself, and now you blame it on me. Isn’t this inappropriate?”
Young Master Zhang was so angry that he was going crazy: “You——”
Ye Qiu said: “Young Master Zhang, don’t think that just because I smashed out a treasure from the stone tablet, you can smash out a treasure from the Tang brick. If there is a treasure in any stone, then who would come to the auction? Wouldn’t it be better to just take a sledgehammer and smash the stones on the roadside?”
Hahaha……
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Ye Qiu added: “Young Master Zhang, if you think you bought it at a loss, then you can return it.”
To be honest, Young Master Zhang really wanted to return it. After all, it was ninety million.
The problem now was that the Tang brick had been smashed by him, and even if he wanted to return it, he couldn’t.
If it were an ordinary small auction house, Young Master Zhang would directly call out the boss to get a refund. If the boss didn’t refund the money, he would clean up the boss. But this auction house won’t do.
The boss of this auction house has a great background, and he doesn’t dare to easily offend him.
If it weren’t for this, he would have ordered his little followers to clean up Ye Qiu.
“Kid, you wait for me. I won’t let this matter go like this.”
After leaving a harsh word, Young Master Zhang angrily returned to his seat.
This was just an episode, and the auction continued.
……
Backstage.
When the girl saw that Young Master Zhang was cheated, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.
“Young Master Zhang is really unlucky. He was cheated out of 90 million by a brick. Tsk tsk tsk, what a prodigal.”
“After today, Young Master Zhang will become the laughingstock of the capital.”
The female bodyguard’s eyes fell on Ye Qiu again: “I thought he was a coward, but I didn’t expect him to use this method to make Young Master Zhang suffer. Awesome.”
“This little trick is nothing to him.” The girl said.
The female bodyguard turned her head and saw that the girl was staring at Ye Qiu in the surveillance, her eyes bright and unblinking.
Suddenly, her heart was shocked.
“Miss, you don’t like him, do you? Let me tell you, it’s best to stay away from him. He’s not a good person.” The female bodyguard said anxiously.
Why do you say he’s not a good person? The girl was puzzled.
The female bodyguard said, “Miss, look, his face is so pale. At a glance, he is not a good person. When I was a child, I often heard the old people in the village say that a fair-faced man has a bad heart.”
Puchi——
The girl couldn’t help but laugh out loud and said, “There is another sentence. I don’t know if you have heard of it.”
”What sentence?”
”A man is not bad, and a woman doesn’t love.”
The female bodyguard looked surprised: “No way, Miss, have you fallen in love with him?”
”Not yet, he is still under my test.”
……
In the blink of an eye, the auction had been going on for two hours.
”Everyone, please be quiet.”
The host said, “The auction has come to an end here.”
”Next, the finale treasure to be auctioned today is the Heavenly Master Token!”
”Presumably some people don’t know the origin of the Heavenly Master Token. I can introduce it to everyone.”
”According to legend, the Heavenly Master Token is a token engraved by Zhang Daoling, the founding ancestor of Longhu Mountain, with lightning-struck wood. It is not only one of the three treasures for suppressing the mountain of Longhu Mountain, but also a Taoist holy object. Moreover, the Heavenly Master Token has been enshrined by Longhu Mountain for thousands of years, and it has been contaminated with the incense atmosphere of Longhu Mountain. It has the effect of repelling all evil spirits and keeping ghosts and demons away.”
”If this thing is worn on the body for a long time, in addition to exorcising evil spirits and expelling ghosts, it can also prolong life and rejuvenate.”
”Now, please ask the staff to bring up the Heavenly Master Token.”
Soon, a young girl wearing white gloves and a cheongsam came to the stage with a tray in her hand.
In the tray, there is a black token.
The token is square, only about the size of a matchbox, and there are mysterious runes engraved on the bottom of the token.
The long-browed real person’s breathing suddenly became rapid, and he said, “That’s right, this is the Heavenly Master Token.”
”Heaven has eyes, and the ancestors have spirits. Finally, I can see it before I die.”
”Little bastard, you must help me get the Heavenly Master Token.”
Ye Qiu said, “The Heavenly Master Token is auctioned as the finale treasure, and it will definitely fetch a sky-high price.”
”No matter how much money it is, you must help me get it.”
At this time, a middle-aged man sitting in the front row of them turned around and whispered, “You want to get the Heavenly Master Token?”
”I advise you two to give up.”
”The Heavenly Master Token has already been pre-determined!”
Pre-determined?
The long-browed real person’s face sank: “Who pre-determined it?”
”Who else could it be? Naturally, it’s Young Master Zhang.” The middle-aged man said, “Since Mr. Zhang retired, he has liked to chant Buddha and eat vegetarian food, and he also likes some Taoist things very much.”
”Young Master Zhang was originally abroad, but he suddenly returned to Beijing recently because Mr. Zhang’s seventieth birthday is coming up.”
“He wants to take pictures of the Heavenly Master Token as a birthday gift and give it to Mr. Zhang.”
“Before you came, Young Master Zhang’s people greeted us who participated in the auction and said that we are not allowed to snatch the Heavenly Master Token with Young Master Zhang tonight. Otherwise, the consequences will be at your own risk.”
“You two, take my advice and give up.”
“The Zhang family is one of the four major families in the capital. We can’t afford to mess with them!”
Just as they were talking, the host spoke up.
“Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, let’s start the auction.”
“The reserve price of the Heavenly Master Token is 30 million, and each increase must be no less than 1 million.”
“Please bid.”
As soon as the host finished speaking, Young Master Zhang’s voice rang out.
“Thirty-five million.”
Sure enough, no one increased the price.
The people at the scene had all been greeted by Young Master Zhang’s people, so no one dared to offend him.
When True Man Long Eyebrow saw that Ye Qiu remained silent, he said anxiously, “You brat, hurry up and increase the price!”
“Why don’t you increase it?” Ye Qiu asked.
True Man Long Eyebrow had a long face and said, “I have no money.”
Damn it, what do you take me for? An ATM?
Ye Qiu glared at True Man Long Eyebrow and then opened his mouth to bid, “50 million!”
Instantly, everyone’s eyes fell on Ye Qiu’s face.
What was this kid trying to do?
Was he going to challenge Young Master Zhang?
“This gentleman has bid 50 million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?” When the host spoke, his eyes fell on Young Master Zhang’s face.
“Fifty-five million!”
Young Master Zhang smiled and his face was calm.
This little money meant nothing to him. If he could make the old man smile, he would get much more in return.
But——
“One hundred million!”
Ye Qiu’s second bid once again shocked the whole audience.
Young Master Zhang’s complexion instantly turned gloomy, and he turned around to coldly gaze at Ye Qiu: “My grandfather likes things related to Taoism very much. If you know what’s good for you, it’s best not to compete with me…”
“Five hundred million!”
”Kid, are you really going to make things difficult for me? I’m warning you, offending our Zhang family will do you no good…”
Ye Qiu didn’t even look at Young Master Zhang and directly made the final decision.
“One billion!”
