Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 391: The Appearance of the Deceased
In the afternoon, Lu Jiuzhang was planning to go out to see how the auction in Little Prince Zhou Zhenglong was going.
As soon as I walked to the front door, I saw the butler Fu Bo walking over.
"Master Lu, you are just here. Someone is looking for you outside and says he is your old friend." Butler Fu Bo said.
Old friend?
Lu Jiuzhang was a little confused.
Lu Jiuzhang didn't know many people in Jingzhao Mansion.
In addition to the group of people like the little fat Zhou Zheng, there are also Master Xu, senior brother Wu Rendi, the new emperor and the little murderer Xuanji.
If they come to visit, they usually won't talk about old friends or anything like that.
"By the way, she belongs to the Zhao family of Qianji Tower, and her name is Zhao Yuru!" Butler Fu Bo reminded.
It turns out to be her!
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, "We are indeed old acquaintances. I will go out to meet her."
Lu Jiuzhang walked out of the royal father's door.
A magnificent carriage was parked outside.
This carriage was equipped by the head of the Zhao family when he usually went out, and he also took it out today for Zhao Yuru to use when traveling.
"Shou Cheng!"
Zhao Yuru was filled with joy when she saw Lu Jiuzhang for the first time.
"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for many days, you have gone through a lot of changes."
Lu Jiuzhang smiled.
"There are too many things at home and I am a little busy." Zhao Yuru did not say that she did not want to go out for several months after being trapped at home.
"Combining work and rest."
Lu Jiuzhang smiled and got into the carriage.
"First go to the Juhuanlou Inn in the inner city."
Lu Jiuzhang said to the servant driving the carriage.
"Want to eat?" Zhao Yuru asked.
Juhuanlou is one of the most famous restaurants in the outer city of Jingzhao Mansion. Its business has always been booming and its standards are quite high.
There are often gatherings of dignitaries and nobles there.
"Attending an auction." Lu Jiuzhang said with a smile, "I got the things from the Demon Realm and sold them in Jingzhao Mansion."
"By the way, I bought this from the Demon Realm. It can be regarded as a gift." Lu Jiuzhang handed Zhao Yuru a bead, "The objects in the Demon Realm are not very precious, but they are very rare."
"Thank you Shoucheng!"
Zhao Yuru was very happy.
There seemed to be endless conversation along the way. Even though she had already learned about Lu Jiuzhang's trip to the Demon Realm, she still had a different feeling after hearing it from Lu Jiuzhang.
Even after arriving at the Juhuan Building, Zhao Yuru still had some unfinished ideas.
The servants stopped the carriage, and Zhao Yuru followed Lu Jiuzhang into the party building.
There are ordinary halls, private rooms, and independent courtyards.
The auction held by the little fat boy Zhou Zheng was in an independent courtyard.
Before entering the small courtyard, Zhao Yuru took out a storage ring and said, "There are three hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold in this. The master of the house took it out and asked me to entertain you."
"Prince Gong should know better than me about the interesting places in Jingzhao Mansion. He will take you there."
"This money was originally used to entertain you. Since Prince Gong wants to entertain you, I don't have to bother. So you take the money. I heard that you are recruiting an army, so it's time to spend money."
There are 300,000 taels of gold given by the head of the family, and 50,000 taels of gold from Zhao Yuru.
Naturally, she didn't have that much money, so she sold all her jewelry, took some from her parents, and collected fifty thousand taels of gold.
But she was worried that Lu Jiuzhang wouldn't want it, so she deliberately said that the gold was given by the family head.
"this……"
Lu Jiuzhang was a little embarrassed.
"Take it, even if you don't take it, I will return it to the owner of the family when I go back." Zhao Yuru said.
"Then I'm not welcome."
Lu Jiuzhang smiled and accepted it.
The two of them walked into the small courtyard, where little fat Zhou Zheng was auctioning.
In fact, calling it an auction is a little inappropriate. To be more precise, it should be that a group of young masters from Jingzhao Mansion gathered around, and then the little fat man Zhou Zheng stood at the front, taking out his utensils and shouting.
The people below bid, and the one with the highest price can buy this thing back.
These young men in Jingzhao Mansion are never short of money!
Moreover, the fat little Zhou Zheng also arranged a caretaker.
"Everyone, this thing I have on hand is a piece of treasure armor used by the Demon King's favorite son, Yao Zhan. Brothers, when you go back, you can take it with you for the monsters you raise."
"Think about it, rounding it all off, doesn't it mean that the Demon Emperor's son is being used as a pet for you?"
"And this treasured armor was forged by the Demon King himself, so the price will definitely not be cheap. The starting price is 500,000 taels of gold, and each increase in price cannot be less than 100,000 taels of gold!"
Little Fatty Zhou Zheng said to everyone.
Among the children of important figures in Jingzhao Mansion, some of their fathers were ministers of the dynasty, or even prime ministers.
They have quite a lot of money.
His father's annual gray income is a huge amount of money, which cannot be measured by common sense.
As soon as the little fat Zhou Zheng finished speaking, a young master stood up and said, "Little prince, I want this precious armor worth one million taels of silver!"
"Hey, I won't let you, one million one hundred thousand taels of gold!"
"One million three hundred thousand taels!"
"One and a half million taels!"
"..."
Soon, the price was quoted as high as two million taels of gold.
This is also top notch!
Two million taels of gold is equivalent to two billion taels of silver!
For a medium-sized city, the annual payment is almost this much silver.
There were a total of 108 mansions in the Zhou Dynasty!
A piece of treasure armor was sold for a year's annual payment of a city.
It’s really scary!
Of course, Baojia is the most expensive among them.
The auction prices for other items are not so high.
Then, several items were auctioned.
Until the fourth item, the starting price of the little fat boy was too high, and there was a suspicion that the auction would be rejected.
The little fat man Zhou Zheng became anxious and quickly pointed at Lu Jiuzhang, "Everyone, Demon Slayer Lu is here. This precious armor was killed by Demon Slayer Lu. I was also there that day, and it was so hard to separate them.
The sky is falling apart!”
"In the end, the Demon Emperor took action and wanted to kill Demon Envoy Lu Zhan. If dozens of great scholars from our human race hadn't come forward to forcibly suppress the Heavenly War Contract, I'm afraid today's auction would have been nothing."
"This kind of treasure is hard to come by!"
The fat little Zhou Zheng fooled everyone.
In fact, Lu Jiuzhang fought in the Demon Palace that day. Little Fatty Zhou Zheng had never even entered the Demon Palace, not to mention seeing it.
But after he boasted, everyone seemed to have been beaten to death and started bidding like crazy.
Lu Jiuzhang just smiled and sat at the back with Zhao Yuru.
"Was it really that dangerous that day?" Zhao Yuru asked.
"It is indeed very dangerous. I was even in danger of falling several times along the way. Fortunately, I was lucky and turned the danger into good luck. In the Demon Palace, the Demon Emperor did take action, and there was also Lanruo Demon, who ranked among the top ten demon clans.
King. But Master Xu borrowed the luck of the half-completed Confucianism and Taoism for me to help me break through to the first level of Confucianism and Taoism for a short time and block the Demon King Lanruo."
"Finally, I finally left the Demon Palace without any danger!"
"The Demon Realm is vast and rich in resources. If I really want to say it, the scenery is indeed beautiful and magnificent. There are also many strange monsters and strange things. It was not until I saw it with my own eyes that I could appreciate the shock!" This chapter has been completed!
