Four hundred and twentieth chapters terror ink blade
Liu Baiqing was anxious here and was thinking in her heart that there were still a few jars left, why didn’t both Ba Xuyao and Wo Gu come yet?
Several people from restaurants came later, who wanted to pack wine at a high price, but Liu Baiqing refused. Some people from the auction house even came over and wanted to pack all the remaining wine at a jar of 1,000 taels per jar. The price also surprised the onlookers. Before, the restaurant and brothel had bid 600 taels of silver per jar, but they were all rejected by Liu Baiqing.
So when the people in the auction house opened their mouths, they could say 1,000 taels per jar, which made everyone think that Liu Baiqing might be selling this time. After all, there are still five taels left. As long as you agree, you will get 5,000 taels of white money immediately after you get this kind of money-making speed. I guess everyone will want it.
Liu Baiqing had never expected that Taibai Zui would bid 1,000 taels per jar before, so he was a little stunned. This also made the onlookers think he was moved, so he started to cheer and shout: "Sell it to him! Sell it to him!"
Liu Baiqing was awakened by the shouts of everyone. To be honest, if it weren't for Ba Xuyao and Wo Gu, Liu Baiqing would have sold all without saying a word. He even went back to Yangzhou overnight to bring in hundreds of jars. But now, he can only keep one jar without selling it just in case.
The people at the auction house seemed to be very satisfied with the price he shouted. They looked at the cheers of the people around them with enjoyment, looked around one by one, and finally turned their eyes to Liu Baiqing with a smug smile on their faces, hoping to get the word "sell" from this young man's mouth.
However, the facts were different from what he thought. Liu Baiqing did speak, but he opened his mouth and said: "Who is the security guard of your auction house responsible?"
"Huh?" The person at the auction house curled his smile and raised his eyebrows, and he was a little confused about why Liu Baiqing suddenly asked this question.
"I said whether the security personnel of your auction house are yours or others?" This time Liu Baiqing slowed down and everyone could understand it, but the onlookers began to whisper, because after several times before, whenever Liu Baiqing asked such questions, he would often not sell them in the end. I wonder if the auction house offered 1,000 taels of silver this time, would he sell them in the end.
"It's... the Cao Gang is in charge, what's wrong?" The auction house asked in confusion.
"Then what other identities do you have in the owner of your auction house?"
"Identity? Our boss also has brothels and restaurants, there are several large courtyards in the center of Xicheng City, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land outside the city..." The auction house had heard of this young man's special standards before coming, so when talking about his master's identity, he said everything else that could be said.
"Stop, stop, I understand. Your master is actually a rich man, but there is nothing else except money, right?" Liu Baiqing interrupted the man and asked faintly.
"Uh..." Sweat slowly began to appear on the forehead of the auction house. He felt that what he had waited for him would be two words that he had never thought about before, that was "No selling!"
Sure enough, Liu Baiqing saw his hesitant look and said, "Sorry, I have already explained the conditions very clearly before, so I won't sell them. Please forgive me. When we really come here to sell wine next time, I will make the decision myself and personally take the oath of your master as a pampered now!"
Originally, Liu Baiqing wanted to refuse directly and decisively, but he thought that Mr. Ruo really helped Mu Hong or
Zhemu Feichen regained control of the Cao Gang, so it is hard to say that the restaurant will open here in the future. So don’t do things too well. Although these rich people have not had a high social status, they cannot resist the wealth of others. The young master likes the most is such rich and powerless people. According to the young master, they are all good people who come to give money. So for the sake of the future, Liu Baiqing still gave a jar of wine on his own initiative to save others’ face and not be too embarrassed.
Sure enough, the auction house's face suddenly recovered a little. He had already made plans to be rejected and was about to be scolded by the owner. However, now there is Liu Baiqing saying this, and it is said in front of so many people. At least there will be explanations when taking it back, which is considered rewarding.
So when the auctioneer left, he clasped his fists and saluted at Liu Baiqing, which was not too disappointing. However, as soon as the auctioneer left, another man dressed as a rich man squeezed in with a few servants and said to Liu Baiqing: "Young man, I want to buy a jar of this wine."
Liu Baiqing was lowering her head and thinking about her worries, so she didn't look up and answer the first time, but Helian Qishan next to her hit Liu Baiqing with the back of her hand. Liu Baiqing raised her head in confusion and looked at Helian Qishan. She had received seven or eight people before, and several of them were in this situation. Liu Baiqing didn't pay attention to it at the first time, but Helian Qishan didn't make any statement, so why did he suddenly remind him now?
However, what Liu Baiqing saw was indeed Helian Qishan nodded at him, his eyes full of excitement, which made Liu Baiqing feel shocked in his heart. He understood that the target person had finally arrived and had been waiting anxiously for almost a morning. The person who was waiting was finally late, but he didn't know who was coming.
"Old man, I'm only one hundred taels a jar, but I want to confirm your identity and whether it meets the current standards for buying Taibai Zui." Because I knew that this was the target person, Liu Baiqing's tone was quite polite.
"Oh? Then do you know what I am?" the leading old man said.
Liu Baiqing shook his head: "I don't know, boy, I came from Jiangning. I don't know about Xicheng, nor do I know what your identity is. I hope the old man will tell you."
"My name is Ba Xuyao, um... I'm from the Cao Gang."
As soon as Ba Xuyao finished speaking, many people whispered to the audience. Perhaps many people present could not recognize who he was when he reported his name. However, after reporting his name, everyone knew instantly, because Ba Xuyao and Wogu were the hall masters who automatically proposed to retire and return home, and they were selling mansions recently, so they were quite well-known in Xicheng during this period. Everyone had heard of the names of Ba Xuyao and Wogu, so everyone started discussing it.
Ba Xuyao looked around with his light, looked at Liu Baiqing casually, and pointed his chin slightly. The meaning was very obvious, just to express my identity to Liu Baiqing, and the people next to him had already said that he had mentioned it. But Ba Xuyao finally added it himself.
"My name is Ba Xuyao. I used to be the master of the Cao Gang, but now I have retired and returned home. I will leave Xicheng in a few days and go back to my hometown. I wonder if I am qualified to buy a jar?" Ba Xuyao stroked his long beard, and asked with a faint smile on his face.
"Hahaha, Master Ba was joking. You just proposed to retire and return home. Now you have retired. What's more, although you have retired, your achievements are still there. Before I came to Xicheng, I had already heard of the name of the Cao Gang. This is a famous behemoth in Xicheng.
I have also heard of the governor who was struggling with the iron-killed Cao Gang. From this sentence, we can see how strong the Cao Gang is. On the way, others have warned me that in Xicheng, I would rather offend the government than offend the Cao Gang. It was the dragon who trampled me on the plate and the tiger who lie down on me." Liu Baiqing also laughed loudly and responded politely.
But we are polite, but the cheerful laughter is real. It is because I was so happy to see Ba Xuyao. I waited for a whole morning and finally came, so I felt naturally happy.
When Ba Xuyao heard Liu Baiqing give him face and praise him like this, he was naturally very happy. He smiled and said, "This young master is too good. Our Cao Gang is a good person who is law-abiding. How could he be above the government? Next time, he should not say such words, otherwise our Cao Gang will be miserable if it is passed to the Xicheng government."
Liu Baiqing also laughed, and then accidentally took out a jade pendant from his belt, which was to come from Mu Feichen before. It was the jade pendant that the latter had brought with him since he was a child. Basically, the senior officials of the Cao Gang recognized it.
Sure enough, Liu Baiqing had just taken it out, and Ba Xuyao's eyes flashed in an instant. Liu Baiqing himself was determined to test, so his eyes were always focused on Ba Xuyao, observing his eyes and expression. The pupils at that moment suddenly shrank and magnified, and were clearly observed by Liu Baiqing. Moreover, his facial expression suddenly stiffened and then recovered as usual.
However, Liu Baiqing did not stay outside for too long. After observing that Ba Xuyao on the opposite side had noticed, he quickly stuffed it back. He was afraid that there would be people from Jingzhe among the surrounding audiences. Since the senior management of the Cao Gang could recognize it before, the senior management of Jingzhe could naturally recognize it. So Liu Baiqing quickly flashed and immediately let it go.
After a brief shock, Naba Xuyao's face returned to his previous state, as if nothing had happened just now and he had not changed. However, his next move revealed his thoughts.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Liu Baiqing, who also gave him a knowing smile at this time. Ba Xuyao gritted his teeth and walked forward two steps. He had already stuck to the stall. He leaned over and lowered his head, leaned against Liu Baiqing, suppressed his inner excitement, and asked softly: "Young Master, where did you get this jade pendant?"
However, Liu Baiqing did not give him a chance. After Ba Xuyao asked this question, he immediately stepped back and drove away and said loudly: "What? You asked how this wine was brewed? Master Ba, although you are the master of the Cao Gang, I can't answer you this question, but I can sell you a jar of wine. Write the address here, and I will send someone later... No, in order to show respect for the Cao Gang, I will personally deliver it to the Lord Ba's mansion! Master Ba can give me silver at that time!"
While speaking, Liu Baiqing kept looking at Ba Xuyao and nodded to the slightest. Liu Baiqing believed that Ba Xuyao would notice his various hints. Sure enough, Ba Xuyao paused for a moment, nodded to Liu Baiqing with equal difficulty, and said, "I'm abrupt, so I'll write my address to you now. Please send it to you in person!"
Ba Xuyao deliberately added to his tone. He and Liu Baiqing smiled slightly at the same time, and then left after writing the address. Liu Baiqing and Helian Qishan looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, with a smile on their faces. The morning task was finally completed!
