In the blink of an eye, the sun rose and the moon set.
It was already the next morning.
The New Moon Hotel's auction was finally about to begin.
The hall was used as a temporary auction venue. There were tables and chairs on the first floor. Almost all the famous people in Beiping City were sitting here. Of course, compared to the rich businessmen on the first floor, the people in the private rooms on the second floor were the real nobles.
Only to see that there was a dedicated servant girl in the private room.
There were also beaded curtains hanging.
As the saying went, wealth should not be revealed. Many dignitaries did not want to expose their identities during the auction.
Therefore, the bead curtain could block the line of sight of others, and it also looked very luxurious without losing its status.
From this, it could be seen that the New Moon Hotel had put a lot of effort into the auction.
After the venue was set up.
Zhang Qifeng, Lord Zeng, and Lord Eight, Qi Tiezui, also came to the private room on the second floor.
After everyone sat down, Qi Tiezui looked around the stands and said at the same time,"Hey, look, there seems to be a Baylor beside us! Speaking of which, where were the Japanese pirates I saw yesterday? Why haven't I seen him?"
"They're across from us. Look at the guy with the mustache sitting in front.”Zhang Qifeng said indifferently.
Although this bead curtain could block one's vision.
But that was only for ordinary people.
To Zhang Qifeng, this bead curtain was completely useless.
"It really seems to be them."
Master Eight Qi Tiezui looked over and indeed found something familiar.
Just as they were discussing, a woman in a cheongsam walked out from the high platform below. The latter said,"Dear guests, please be quiet. Our auction is about to begin. The rules of this auction are that each bid must not be lower than 50,000. I hope that all customers can polish their eyes and not miss out on the things they like. After all, once they miss out, they will be auctioned off by others.”
The beautiful host's voice rang out.
The customers in the auction hall also fell silent.
Seeing this scene,
The beautiful host did not waste any time and immediately said,"I hereby announce that the auction has officially begun. Next, let's welcome our first auction item. Please enjoy it.”
As soon as he said this.
There was a beautiful maid beside him. She held a plate in her hand and then walked around the venue.
Everyone also stood up to check.
A few minutes later.
The auction item had already been on the move for a week. Then, the host said,"I believe everyone has already seen our auction item clearly, right? Next, let the bidding begin."
"Ding!"
As soon as the host finished speaking.
Someone rang the bell.
Immediately after, the wealthy merchants on the first floor also bid.
The ringing of the bell continued. In just a few minutes, the price of this auction item had already reached an astronomical price. Finally, this item fell into the hands of an officer. The latter's face instantly revealed a happy expression.
While they were bidding on the first floor.
However, no one in the private rooms on the second floor spoke.
After all, these items were useless to them. Their real goal was all the items at the back of the auction. As for the jewelry at the front, there were countless of them at home, so they were not interested at all.
After the dust settled on the first item.
A new round of auction had begun.
……
At the same time,
At the entrance of the New Moon Hotel, an uninvited guest was welcomed.
He was dressed in a woolen sweater and a tiger hat. He was dressed like a burly man from the northwest. That's right, this was Peng Sanbian, who had his invitation snatched on the train. Because many people had died while snatching the invitation, Peng Sanbian had only arrived late after burying his brothers.
They arrived at the entrance of the New Moon Hotel.
Peng Sanbian wanted to barge in.
However, at this moment, the staff slaves surrounded him.
"How dare you! Who are you?" the leader of the staff slaves asked. How dare you barge into the New Moon Hotel? Do you want to die?"
"I'm the Northwest's Peng Sanbian, who dares to trespass? The old man from your New Moon Hotel invited me over.”Peng Sanbian immediately said angrily.
"You are the Northwest's Peng Sanbian? What a joke. Third Master Peng had already checked in yesterday with an invitation. How dare you pretend to be Third Master Peng? Men, beat him out with a stick." The leader of the staff slaves said angrily.
"Wait, I'm not an imposter. The one inside is an imposter. He stole my invitation on the train. If you have the ability, ask him to come out and confront me. Or you can ask your master to come out.”Peng Sanbian said sternly.
"This…"
The leader of the staff slaves originally wanted to beat him out.
However, when he heard that this person was actually clamoring to look for Old Master, he did not know what to do for a moment. After all, if it was an imposter, how would he dare to confront him? Could it be that the one inside was really fake?
"Captain, Old Master isn't in the restaurant. Why don't we ask Miss and see how to deal with it? If he really is Peng Sanbian, then we'll be in trouble!”The staff slave reminded him.
"That makes sense." The captain nodded and turned to look at Sanbian Peng.""Brother, you don't have an invitation and you don't have evidence. I really can't let you in. How about this? I'll go ask first, and you wait here.”
"Good!"
Peng Sanbian was a little furious.
However, he also knew how powerful the New Moon Hotel was.
Therefore, he could only do this. Otherwise, if he forcefully barged in, he might not be able to enter.
Seeing that Peng Sanbian had agreed, the captain walked inside and quickly arrived at Yin Xinyue's private room. Then, he quickly reported the situation outside the door.
"What is it? Are you saying that there's another Peng Sanbian outside?”Yin Xinyue ate a mouthful of candied fruit and said in surprise.
"That's right, Young Miss. Moreover, that Peng Sanbian even clamored to look for Old Master. He said that the few people inside were imposters and snatched his invitation on the train. What do we do now?" The leader of the staff slaves asked.
Hearing this, Yin Xinyue looked at Zhang Qifeng and the others 'private room.
Naturally, he understood what was going on.
After all, when he first received Zhang Qifeng and the others, it was already a little strange.
People who lived in the northwest all year round actually had such good skin, and there were no traces of people from the northwest in their actions. Instead, they looked a little refined. Now, it seemed that the truth of the matter was very obvious. They might have really stolen the invitation card and sneaked in.
If it was on a normal day.
Yin Xinyue naturally had them arrested long ago.
But now, her heart was already tied to Zhang Qifeng.
Therefore, he was naturally unwilling to capture anyone. His eyes flashed slightly, revealing a hint of craftiness. Then, he said,"Bring him to the guest room on the second floor and give him some food and drinks to stall him. Also, remember to lock the door and don't let him run out.”
"Yes, Young Miss. I'll do it immediately.”
Although the leader of the staff slaves was a little strange, he was still a little confused.
However, he did not dare to say anything and quickly walked down.
