Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge

Chapter 129 Before the Auction Begins

After seeing Xiaoyue off, Manager Xiao arranged the auction and then discussed it with Doctor Xu for a long time. However, they racked their brains but could not figure out if there was any famous doctor named Rong in the medical field or in the martial arts world.

Maybe they missed someone.

Anyway, there is a living person in front of us, and the things are real. With the master's ability, he should be able to find it out.

If that person catches the master's eye again...

Manager Xiao and Doctor Xu both had their own plans in mind.

Xiaoyue had a lot of fun strolling around the market with her tour guide Ma Liu.

This underground black market is somewhat like the farmers' markets of later generations, and it is located in an extra-large courtyard.

One side was the three-story building where she had just come out.

On the side facing the third floor is a row of sheds, divided into small stalls of equal size.

The other two sides are filled with shops of varying sizes.

Unlike auctions, the shops can open for business at twilight hour. There are already groups of people walking around the market. Some of them are wearing masks that cost ten taels of silver each, while others are not. Most of the sellers at the small stalls are wearing masks.

The same lanterns were hung in every shop and stall. It was evening, and the sun was still shining, so no one had lit the lanterns yet.

The vendors don't shout, and the guys in the shops don't come out to solicit customers. Everyone is operating in a wait-and-see mode.

Xiaoyue walked casually, taking a quick look at the stalls. After entering the shop, she also took a quick look around, not looking closely at any of the products, nor approaching any counter.

This is all thanks to her good hearing and eyesight. She can see the goods clearly and hear the conversation between the buyer and the seller without getting too close.

Most of the items traded here are gold and silver products, pearls and gems, porcelain and jade, as well as weapons, medicinal materials and medicines, rare and precious books, famous paintings and calligraphy, as well as animal skins, tiger bones and other items.

There are many kinds of goods, and there is nothing that is not sold here. If you don’t see what you like at the time, you can still make an order with the seller.

Xiaoyue thinks the most attractive thing is the price.

Xiaoyue heard that the asking price for the goods here was very low. After some bargaining between the two parties, the final transaction price would be even lower.

A deal was concluded at one of the stalls, with several large gold bracelets and hairpins weighed by kilogram. The final transaction price was only 20% of the normal price outside.

After walking around, Xiaoyue returned to the auction venue.

Ma Liu took Xiaoyue back to the room they had started with. Before they even reached the door, Xiaoyue could smell the aroma of food. As soon as she opened the door, she saw four dishes, a soup, and a bowl of rice on the table. The dishes were two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, all of which were warm.

"Mrs. Rong, this is what Manager Xiao had prepared. Do you need anything else?"

"No more. Thank Manager Xiao for me."

Ma Liu left the room and Xiaoyue enjoyed dinner alone.

The food tastes good, comparable to mid-range restaurants in Beijing.

After dinner, Xiaoyue opened the door and saw Ma Liu outside. She asked Ma Liu to pack up. Ma Liu asked someone to pack up, and he took Xiaoyue to a smaller private room on the second floor.

The private room is small and simply decorated, with only a table and three chairs. The table and chairs are exquisitely made of yellow rosewood, and the carvings on the chair backs are detailed and lifelike. Tea, snacks, fruits and dried fruits are thoughtfully placed on the table.

Through the window, you can clearly see the situation in the lobby on the first floor.

This building is very much like a movie theater in later generations. The second and third floors only have rooms around them. The lobby on the first floor faces an exquisite caisson, on which there is only one kind of animal painted: bats, big and small.

If you think about it, bats and the underground black market go hand in hand.

There were more than a dozen tables in the lobby on the first floor, each with three chairs, and the side facing the auction table was left empty.

Some tables had tea and food, others did not. There were some people who looked like waiters walking around.

Xiaoyue keenly noticed that although those waiters only did the job of serving tea and water, they were all quite skilled in martial arts.

When I first met Ma Liu, I thought it was understandable that he could practice martial arts as a manager. Later, when I saw Manager Xiao, it was also normal for him to practice martial arts as a "senior executive" here.

Among the people she met here, Doctor Xu seemed to be the only one who did not seem to be good at martial arts.

This made Xiaoyue more cautious.

Her original intention of coming here was to make money. In this world, apart from avenging the original owner, she could only be a salted fish, and she didn't want to cause trouble.

Fortunately, she also has some kung fu skills, is quite skilled in using poison, and has her own space. Moreover, the face she is using now is fake. As long as she wants, "Mrs. Rong" can appear and disappear at any time in this world.

With a plan in mind, Xiaoyue sat down and ate some snacks.

Seeing this, Ma Liu very attentively poured tea for Xiaoyue. After pouring the tea, Ma Liu said that he needed to be called for something, and then left the room.

At this time, there were still about 25 minutes before the auction started, and nearly one-third of the people in the first floor hall were already seated. In addition to Xiaoyue's room, guests also came to other private rooms on the second floor.

Xiaoyue heard that most people's conversation was about tonight's auction, and some of them were talking about the two things she brought.

Compared with scar removal cream, more people are interested in detoxification pills.

In particular, the auction house emphasized the word "special effects" and specifically reminded everyone present to witness the magic of the medicine together.
