As soon as he finished speaking, the men on the expensive ship and on both sides of the Taiwan Strait went crazy instantly, as if they had been injected with blood!

"I'll give you a thousand taels!!" a noble man roared, his eyes full of desire.

"I offer you three thousand taels. I am the second son of Pingmu Hou. No one is allowed to rob me!" A tall and thin young man shouted, indicating that he was bound to win.

"Three thousand taels is nothing! I've offered you five thousand taels, but I still want to have a word with Miss Liu!" The young master with a profound background was not afraid at all, as if meeting that woman once would make him immortal.

"Five thousand five hundred taels!"

"I will add another thousand taels to you!"

"..."

The men were so crazy. Zhou Jian witnessed it with his own eyes. In addition to being stunned, he was also a little heartbroken. In the market, which was only separated by a wall, the people there had to work hard for food and clothing, but here...

As the king of a country and the soul of a soldier, he felt extremely guilty!

Just like that, in less than half a stick of incense time, just to board the ship and have a word with the oiran surnamed Liu, the price was crazy increased to 8,000 taels!

You must know that this is just a word. In the capital, five hundred taels can redeem the life of a popular courtesan. This oiran named Liu may really be studded with diamonds!

When the flower boat named Liu appeared, all the women on the Qinhuai River were overshadowed by it. Many women cursed her and said sourly in the corner that she was a vixen.

It is true that men love her and women hate her. Zhou Jian was a little curious about what this woman looked like.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? The price is too high..." Fang Jie said with an uneasy expression.

Zhou Jian took a deep breath: "So many men died in the Qinhuai River, and they all said they were fascinated to death. If you want to find out the truth, you have to go up there and see them."

"And the most important thing is that Lu Junlai should also get on the boat. After all, the number of places to get on the boat has been increased to five. No matter what, I have to get on the boat and I will call out the price later."

Fang Jie was astonished and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, if you reveal your identity, are you afraid that the courtesan will pounce on you as if you are not in a hurry? This is nearly ten thousand taels, which can buy one or two hundred beautiful court servants!"

Zhou Jian stared: "If your identity is exposed, what clues should you look for?!"

"Everything is kept low-key so that you can get a full picture of it, do you understand?"

Fang Jie and others were shocked, their eyes widened, and they thought in hindsight, it makes sense!

...

After half a stick of incense, the first four positions were decided by rich and powerful people, but the identities were all mysterious. Zhou Jian did not see who was going to board the ship. As for whether Lu Jun was among them, it depends on luck.

Already.

With only the last spot left, the man from Qinhuaihe tried his best to raise the price. The competition was particularly fierce, with the highest price being nine thousand taels!

As soon as the price was shouted out, the surrounding area suddenly became silent. Even the rich gritted their teeth and had no choice but to give up.

"Nine thousand taels once, nine thousand taels twice..." The MILF woman from before shouted loudly, scanning the surroundings with her exquisite eyes, wanting to continue adding more.

"Haha, no one is raising the price anymore. The fifth position is mine!" A scarred man who looked like a nouveau riche shouted, blushing with excitement.

Just when the surroundings were dejected and extremely quiet, a loud voice spread across the Qinhuai River.

"For the fifth position, I'll pay you 10,000 taels!!"

As soon as the words fell, countless people were shocked and there was a commotion. Then they looked left and right, looking for the source of the sound. After all, eight or nine thousand taels were already a sky-high price, and the first four positions did not exceed ten thousand.

It's easy to increase the price in the front, but it's painful to pay a hundred taels in the back.

"Where is he!"

"It's at the very back, look!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

All eyes turned to Zhou Jian's extremely inconspicuous boat, and then they showed contempt.

"How can he afford ten thousand taels for such a broken ship?" someone said disdainfully.
