Chapter 957 There is news
"Interracial beauties!"
Zuo Feng repeated Li Ru's words with confusion, and looked at her with confusion, completely unsure what Li Ru's words meant.
Li Ru looked at the change of Zuo Feng's expression coldly, and at the same time let out a low "hum" from her nose, saying, "Why is Master Shen so forgetful? She wanted to talk to someone yesterday, but she forgot everything after just one night."
Zuo Feng suddenly realized that the woman Li Ru was talking about was the Sqi. He also understood that the city lord's mansion sent someone to protect his place, and all the movements were under the other party's nose. However, Zuo Feng couldn't figure out why he met Sqi, which caused Li Ru's displeasure again.
At this time, Zuo Feng felt a little unhappy. The transaction between him and Shiqi had nothing to do with the auction, and he had no connection with the city lord's mansion. The other party got angry at him for no reason, which made Zuo Feng feel very uncomfortable. However, Zuo Feng came here today and asked for help, so he could only suppress his anger and said.
"I came here today mainly to bring the brewed wine. I also wanted to ask Miss Li Ru about something. I hope that Miss Li Ru will provide me with some convenience in seeing how I have worked hard to make wine for the city lord in the past few days."
Li Ru still had the cold expression, glanced at a bundle of wine bottles on the table, and slowly spoke: "I didn't block your mouth, just say anything if you have anything."
This atmosphere made Zuo Feng extremely awkward, but in the end he could only sigh and said, "Yesterday I attended the third auction and bought the black stone for 1,500 gold coins. I went back and studied it a little..."
Li Ru slapped the corner of her mouth and said with a sneer: "The rules of our auction house have always never returned goods. Are you a little too late to regret it now?"
Li Ru looked at Zuo Feng like a fool. She didn't understand Zuo Feng's mysterious black stone from the beginning. Now when she saw Zuo Feng lifting the black stone, she immediately showed a mocking look and said.
Zuo Feng shook his head and continued, "I don't want to return the black stone to the auction house. I just hope Miss Li Ru can tell me who took out the black stone for auction."
The original look of mocking was instantly frozen on Li Ru's face, but his eyes were always staring at Zuo Feng's face, as if he wanted to see what he was thinking through Zuo Feng's head. However, the expression on Zuo Feng's face did not change at all, and he still looked back at himself with a little smile on his face with inquiring eyes.
Li Ru was even more surprised at this time. According to their firm results at the beginning, although the black stone was mysterious, it could not see any value at all. Perhaps this black stone was acquired by that super power, and spending some manpower and material resources might unlock the secrets, but she believed that its value would not be too great.
For the black stone, Li Ru didn't know why the person who took it out for auction asked for such a price. However, because the other party also took out other good items and the other party himself was a powerful force of excellent credibility, the auction finally decided to auction such a black stone that was useless at such a high price.
It is precisely for this reason that when Li Ru heard Zuo Feng talk about the stone, she immediately guessed that the other party regretted buying the black stone at such a high price. But now Zuo Feng actually wanted to know more about the black stone, which means that Zuo Feng had unlocked the secret of the black stone, at least he had some understanding of the black stone.
This result was really difficult for Zuo Feng to understand, but as the chief auctioneer of the auction, she subconsciously asked: "Have you unlocked the secret of the black stone?"
Zuo Feng hesitated and said, "Your auction house has been studying for so long but hasn't figured it out. I only have it in my hands for less than a day. How can I know the secret? It's just that I'm very interested in that thing. I just hope to talk to the person who took out the black stone, so that it can help me unlock the secret of the black stone."
Zuo Feng said this barely reasonable, but Li Ru did not fully believe it. After thinking for a moment, she said: "The auction house has the rules of the auction house, and our Luancheng Auction House is even more limited by the rules, so we may not be able to agree to your request."
"Can't Miss Li Ru make an example for me? You know my character, and I will never let this matter involve the City Lord's Mansion."
Li Ru returned to her cold attitude again and refused flatly: "I really don't know much about your character, so don't expect me to make an exception for you."
Zuo Feng frowned. He felt that the other party was not because of the rules, but was deliberately embarrassed because he was simply dissatisfied with him. But now he could only know some clues about the beast pattern from here.
A flash of inspiration in his mind, and Zuo Feng immediately spoke, "I don't know where the city lord is now. I hope I can see her."
"Hmph, why do you want to find the city lord to suppress me? I will tell you that the rules are rules. And you also know the relationship between me and the city lord. If I said it doesn't work, it doesn't work. You should just give up your heart."
Zuo Feng had thought that Li Ru was an extremely smooth person, but now he finally saw the unreasonable side of a woman. This attitude of inadequateness made him helpless. Although he was extremely unwilling to accept it, he had no other choice. In the end, he could only sigh and plan to leave.
Although Li Ru's road was not clear, Zuo Feng did not give up. He originally had a one-time and for all way, which was to find the city lord Li Shang through medicine, but because he did not want to involve medicine, he felt that the fewer people knew about the whereabouts of the beast pattern, the better.
Just as Zuo Feng stood up and was about to say goodbye and leave, the door that had been tightly closed was suddenly pushed open. Zuo Feng and Li Ru both looked at the door in a daze, and the two of them said subconsciously.
"City Lord"
"Aunt, why are you here?"
The one who pushed the door open was Li Shang, the lord of Luancheng. Today she was wearing a light blue robe that she was carrying, and her clothes looked a little loose, looking more like casual clothes she wore at home.
After Li Shang entered the door, he glared at Li Ru fiercely, and then saw the bundle of "Wangyou Zui" on the table. Finally, he looked at Zuo Feng with a smile and said, "My friend Chen Feng, I already know what you want to know. The person who took out the black stone to auction also knew you?"
Zuo Feng blinked in confusion, then said with a happy look on his face: "Is it Senior Yao?"
However, Li Ru didn't care what Zuo Feng said, but instead said to Li Shang: "Aunt, according to the rules of the auction house, we cannot reveal the information about the person who took out the items."
When Zuo Feng heard Li Ru say this, he knew that what he guessed was wrong, but then he understood who Li Shang was referring to. It was less than a month since he came to Luan City, and the people he knew and the enemies were slapped by both of them.
Zuo Feng smiled at Li Shang with gratitude, then bowed to his head and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your advice. I already know who took out the black stone for auction. If you didn't tell me who was the person who took out the goods in person, it would not be considered a violation of the auction house's regulations. I will leave it for now if I have something to do."
Li Shang didn't expect Zuo Feng to be so smart. After a moment of silence, he looked at Zuo Feng with a deep meaning. When Zuo Feng walked to her, Li Shang hesitated for a moment and asked, "I'm actually a little curious. If it's convenient for Xiao Feng, can you reveal something about the black stone?"
Zuo Feng stopped, turned his head and looked at Li Shang who was smiling, and said, "I hope the city lord will forgive me. I also hope to unlock the secret of the black stone as soon as possible, so I can't answer your question."
After saying that, Zuo Feng strode out. Li Shang stared at Zuo Feng's back until he completely disappeared outside the door. Then he slowly retracted his gaze, but he saw Li Ru pouting her mouth and staring at the door.
"Hey, you girl is really!"
Li Ru took her gaze awkwardly, and at the same time, her pretty face turned slightly red. She subconsciously rubbed the corner of her clothes and said, "But that's what the auction house stipulates, and they just do things according to the rules."
The smile on Li Shang's face gradually calmed down, and finally became completely serious and said, "How could you hide your little thoughts from me? Chen Feng's origin is very difficult, and Senior Yao refused to reveal some information about him. Besides, you and I came from that place. Do you want to mix this Chen Feng in? And I saw that Chen Feng had no intention of staying in Luancheng for a long time, so you should forget him."
Hearing Li Shang say this, a gloomy look flashed across Li Ru's face, then sighed lightly and said, "I know, aunt, I haven't controlled my emotions well, and there will be no such thing again in the future."
There was also a complex look in Li Shang's eyes. Finally, he sighed deeply, slowly turned around and walked out of the room, leaving Li Ru alone in the room.
Li Ru sighed lightly, shook her head desperately and wanted to throw away the thoughts in her mind, but her eyes subconsciously fell on the bundle of wine bottles on the table. She reached out and rubbed it gently, hoping to calm herself down, but it seemed that after seeing these "forget-worry and drunk", her emotions became more chaotic.
Zuo Feng had already left the city lord's mansion at this time. Zuo Feng was in a very good mood at this time. The thing he thought would be very troublesome was solved so easily. He believed that since the other party had taken out the black stone for auction, he should have no idea about the black stone.
He felt that with his friendship with the other party, he would not refuse to disclose some relevant information to him, and he had some other preparations. Thinking of this, Zuo Feng accelerated his pace and walked towards the Juyun Inn. Kang Zhen was one of his few friends in Luancheng, and Li Shang could only refer to him.
