Finally, when eight stout young men came on stage, a guest in the box on the second floor took action, overwhelming the crowd in the lobby downstairs, and put the strongest man in his pocket at a price of 20 taels, thus opening the prelude to the bidding for guests on the second floor.

After a few rounds, bidding has become a competition among the guests on the second floor, and those strong young men and beautiful women have become their targets for competition.

When the last eight strong men came on stage, except for Tan Zong, the remaining two guests facing the window were two guests in front of the other party's private room. Judging from the seats in which the other party's private room was, the people inside were either rich or noble.

"Dear men, look at this outfit, one is stronger than the other. If you buy it back, you will be a close follower or guarding the house, which is definitely worth the money." After the eight men took off their clothes, the magistrate walked past them with a smile, patting the strong muscles on their chests, and whispering to the second floor, "The minimum price for these eight people is 10 taels of silver for each of them, the higher the price is!"

Nowadays, only the guests on the second floor can and dare to bid. If the people in the hall overestimate their abilities, they will not only lose badly, but will also become a joke in everyone's mouth. Therefore, the emcee's previous words were completely directed at the guests on the second floor.

"I think Mr. Qian is going to be the first this time."

"Not necessarily. Mr. Zhu Wu came from Shuchuan this time, and he must have the will to win, and he will have a good start."

"It's strange. Who would you say in the other private room? He has not taken action yet. Should he compete with Mr. Qian Er and Mr. Zhu Wu?"

"It's impossible. I haven't heard of anyone in Wuchang Mansion who can compare with Mr. Qian Er and Mr. Zhu Wu. Maybe he doesn't want to take action at all."

...

As soon as the emcee's words fell, the people in the hall became turbulent, whispering and talking, and Tan Zong had been noticed because he had not come forward to bid.

The second son of Qian comes from the Qian family, the richest man in Wuchang Prefecture, and the fifth son of Zhu is a business tycoon in Shuchuan. One of them is a local snake in Wuchang Prefecture, and the other is a Jianglong who often travels back and forth between Jiangnan and Shuchuan. These people at the scene naturally respect two people.

"Twenty-five taels, eight must be all." Just as everyone was talking, a loud voice came from the private room on the east side of the middle of the second floor.

"Young Master Qian has indeed taken action."

"It's two hundred taels of silver at once, and the second young master Qian is so generous."

"Young Master Zhu Wu shouldn't admit defeat so easily."

...

Accompanied by the loud sound on the second floor, the people in the hall couldn't help but feel agitation, and they all looked up at the private room on the west side of the middle of the second floor, where Mr. Zhu Wu sat there.

"Thirty taels, four in the west." Sure enough, a loud voice came from the wing room on the west side. It was obvious that Mr. Zhu Wu did not want to fight Mr. Qian Er, so he wanted half of the people.

"Thirty taels, four in the east." A moment later, amid the discussion of people, a response came from the east wing room. Since Mr. Zhu Wu did not intend to provoke a dispute, Mr. Qian Er naturally had to settle the matter. His wealth and status with Mr. Zhu Wu were half a dozen. If he really fought, a lot of money would be wasted.

"Thirty taels, is there any master who is more than thirty taels?" The emcee shouted at the second floor after hearing this. Although he knew that the people at the scene would never bid to challenge the authority of Mr. Qian Er and Mr. Zhu Wu, according to the process, he had to finish the auction procedure, raise his right hand high, and stretch out his index finger, "Thirty taels every time..."

Hearing this, Tan Zong couldn't help but look at the emcee and laughed. Unexpectedly, the auction process in later generations actually came to Dashun with Yi Ren Er. If the emcee held the auction hammer in his hand, he would be a regular auctioneer.

"Thirty taels for the second time..." After a moment, the emcee looked around at the scene and slowly stretched out two fingers. When he stretched out three fingers, the auction of eight men was over.

How could Tan Zong not get involved in such an interesting thing? Taking this opportunity to show off his limelight in Wuchang Mansion, it can also make the people in Changsha Mansion feel at ease.

"The two on the edge, thirty-five taels." Then, Tan Zong whispered a few words in Chen San standing beside him. Chen San then walked to the window and said to the emcee who raised three fingers.

As soon as this said, there was a sudden commotion at the scene. People looked at the box where Tan Zong was, but they didn't expect that he would bid.

"Thirty-five liang?" The host was stunned at first when he heard this, and then came to understand. He shouted excitedly at the room where Mr. Qian Er and Mr. Zhu Wu were on the second floor, "Is there any higher bid for this master?"

Hearing this, people couldn't help but look at the private rooms of Mr. Qian Er and Mr. Zhu Wu, waiting for their response with interest.

"The second to the fourth to the east, forty taels!" After a while of silence, Mr. Qian Er took the lead in his private room.

Although Tan Zong's appearance surprised Mr. Qian, the second son of Qian was surprised, because Tan Zong chose the two people at the edge, it showed that he had no offense.

Therefore, the calm-minded Qian Er Gongzi thought about it and decided to take a prudent approach to increase the bidding and give up a place to avoid rashly making enemies.

"The second to the fourth to the fourth in the west, forty taels." Then, a voice came from Mr. Zhu Wu's private room. Since Qian Er, as the master, did not take extreme actions, he naturally took the opportunity to follow the master.

Chen San looked at Tan Zong when he heard this. Tan Zong shook his head slightly at him, saying that there was no meaning of an increase in price. He was quite surprised that he could grab two places so smoothly from Mr. Qian Er and Mr. Zhu Wu. From this point of view, these two people must be scheming. Since the other party gave the two people to him, there was no need for him to provoke them again.

As the emcee's three fingers fell, the auction of the eight men ended. Tan Zong got the two people at the edge. After Chen Si went downstairs to deliver the money, he took the two people into the private room. The two of them were also selling their bodies.

Tan Zong took the contract to take a sale, then taught Xiaolian, looked at the stage, frowning slightly, and the last group of women should have appeared. He did not find the woman yesterday among the women in front of him. If there was no woman in the last group of women, the situation would be a little bad. The people who were auctioned tonight were carefully selected, and the rest of the unselected people were sold at a low price. If they were sold to a passing merchant, it would be difficult to find someone.

Xiaolian immediately put away the two contracts for sale. Among the two men who were bought, the taller one was named Wang Ping. He used to be a blacksmith, from Yidu County, Yiling Prefecture, and the other one was named Zhou Qing. He used to be a bricklayer, from Honghu County, Jingzhou Prefecture.

Under the gaze of everyone, eight beautiful young women slowly walked into the hall and stood side by side on the platform. They were the most beautiful women selected from outside the city. Although they were all women from ordinary families, as the saying goes, "High-quality birds are raised in the mountains and beautiful women are born in the woods." They have a special kind of delicacy.

Tan Zong's eyes swept across the eight women one by one, and finally stopped at the pure and beautiful woman standing in the west, who was the most outstanding among the eight women. He looked at her with a frown: Although this woman had the same outfit as the other seven women, she had a unique temperament, which was completely different from the other seven women.

Although Tan Zong felt that the woman's eyes were somewhat similar to those of the woman she had seen yesterday, he was not sure. After all, yesterday was just a meeting and he didn't see the other person's appearance clearly. If he made a mistake, he would be depressed.

"Take off your clothes." In front of everyone, the emcee said to the eight women as usual, ready to show everyone the figures of the eight women.

Tan Zong noticed keenly that after hearing this, the woman in the west looked dark, and a hint of humiliation and helplessness flashed through her eyes. She did not immediately untied her clothes like the seven women beside her. Instead, she paused for a moment and then began to take off her clothes. Her movements were slower than the other seven women.

"It's her!" After witnessing the action of the woman in the west, Tan Zong was 70% sure that the woman in front of him was the one he saw yesterday. After pondering for a while, he whispered a few words to Shen San beside him.

"The girl in the west is thirty taels of silver." Shen San nodded after hearing this, then came to the window, pointed at the woman who was about to take off her coat, and said loudly to the emcee.

When the people in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but feel a commotion. Tan Zong had already started bidding before he could "inspection". It was rare. The woman was even more stunned and looked up at the window of the private room where Tan Zong was. Unfortunately, due to the perspective, she only saw Shen San standing beside the bed but did not see Tan Zong, Qiao Yu and others.

Thirty taels of silver were the price offered by Tan Zong after careful consideration. It was the same as his previous round of bids. The price was neither high nor low, and the price was appropriate. It not only expressed his desire to get the woman, but also had no intention of provoking Mr. Qian Er and Mr. Zhu Wu. After all, if Mr. Qian Er and Mr. Zhu Wu bid against the woman, the situation would become troublesome.

In addition, Tan Zong was unwilling to see the woman being humiliated in public. He saw that the woman had a strong sense of self-esteem, so he wanted to retain her dignity. In this way, if she contacted her in the future, she would not strongly reject her.

"Master, according to the rules, you have to wait until the lowest price is announced before you can bid." After being stunned for a moment, the host quickly came to his senses and said to the box where Tan Zong was smiling. Someone bid in advance, which means that there may be a fierce bidding in a while, which is a good thing for him.

"My young master said that this girl should be his personal maid and should not be misplaced here." Chen San replied loudly after hearing this.

No wonder the person in the box made a bid in advance, and it turned out that he fell in love with the woman in the west! Hearing this, the people at the scene couldn't help but realize that the person sitting in the box was a passionate and romantic young man.

"This..." The emcee couldn't help but look up at the private room of Mr. Qian Er and Mr. Zhu Wu. The specifications of this game cannot be changed by just changing it. They must be approved by two heavyweights on the scene.

"Just as that young master said." Just as the emcee was in a dilemma, a voice came from Mr. Qian's private room. As a local snake in Wuchang Mansion, he should have made a decision.

The emcee couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. If Mr. Qian disagreed, the situation would become complicated. After all, the young master who bids in advance doesn't seem to be a good person. If it really starts, the auction may be deadlocked. He has seen too many "Brigjianglong" with deep backgrounds causing trouble in Wuchang Mansion. The government office turned a blind eye to this, closed its eyes, and was not willing to provoke those people at all.

Then, the emcee waved at the woman on the far right and signaled that she didn't need to wear a loose dress. Seeing this, the woman suddenly became relaxed. She buttoned the buttons on the clothes and looked at the window of the box where Tan Zong was in confusion, with a strange look in her eyes.

"Dear masters, these eight girls were selected by our boss from the people outside the city. They are both excellent in appearance and figure. They are all smart and skillful, and they are virgins. If they are trained, they can serve you carefully." After the other seven women took off their bellybands and underwear, the emcee walked aside from them and said to the people on the scene with a smile, "Everyone has a minimum price of fifteen taels of silver, and the higher the price is!"

When the people in the hall heard this, they looked at the second floor, to be precise, at the private room where Tan Zong, Qian Er and Zhu Wu were. It was obvious that the next bidding was launched among the three.

"The girl in the west is forty taels." Then, a bright voice came from Mr. Qian's private room. No matter how he was considered a "master" among the three. Naturally, he had to give some "landlord friendship" to Mr. Tan Zong and Mr. Zhu Wu, the two "guests", and they must not disappoint the two "guests".

"The girl in the west is fifty taels." Then, a sound also sounded in Mr. Zhu Wu's private room. Mr. Zhu Wu raised the price to fifty taels at once, which was the highest price for auction tonight.

When the people at the scene heard this, they immediately became buzzing and buzzing. While talking enthusiastically, they were waiting for Tan Zong's response: Since Mr. Qian Er and Mr. Zhu Wu both chose the most western-most girl, they obviously did not want Tan Zong to succeed easily. In this case, there would be a bidding war!
