Chapter 100: Auction of Haunted House
"Dear guest, please let me know if you have anything to say."
The maid opened the door of the box, walked up slowly and asked in a low voice.
"Call your steward over here. I have something to discuss with you."
"Please wait a moment, my dear. I will ask the steward to come over."
The well-mannered maid didn't ask a single question, but quietly left and asked the steward to come over.
The auction on the stage is still in full swing, and the fifth item is a house.
“Dear distinguished guests, now we would like to invite you to auction the fifth item, House No. 5, Shilang Hutong, Xizhi Street, Yuanjing City. This item is sponsored by the Dali Temple.
Everyone in the Yuan capital knew that those who lived near Xizhi Street were generally officials of the fourth rank or above. If a tile fell on the street, it would hit anyone who was no less than the fourth rank. Only great scholars came and went, and there was no unlearned person coming in and out.
It is a symbol of identity and a reflection of status.
The original owner of No. 11 Shilang Hutong was a third-rank official 10 years ago. Because he committed a crime, his property was seized by the Dali Temple. Now No. 11 Shilang Hutong has been vacant for 10 years because the Dali Temple specially sponsored this charity fundraising auction.
Mei Niang would like to remind everyone here that if any customer successfully bids, if the item is below the third grade, he/she needs to remove the illegal items by himself/herself. There are no other requirements.
Anyone can participate in this auction..."
The host Mei Niang's words caused the people in the audience to start talking.
The Yuan capital was the capital of three dynasties and also the capital of the Great Cultivation Dynasty. It was the political, military and economic center. It is no exaggeration to say that every inch of land there is worth a lot of money.
The Da Chong Dynasty had clear status and common people were not allowed to live in official residences. The original owner of No. 11 Shilang Hutong committed a serious crime and was sentenced to death. His family members were imprisoned and exiled, and all their property was confiscated.
Over the past few decades, officials in the court have had their ups and downs, which was nothing big. However, the wife of the official who made the mistake was a woman with a strong character. She was unwilling to be despised and exiled to a cold and bitter place. So the wife and the official's entire family committed suicide by taking poison in their own house at No. 11, Shilang Hutong. The death was quite tragic, and the house became a famous haunted house.
The mainstream of the Da Chong Dynasty still believed in ghosts and gods. Officials who could become fourth-rank officials or above in the capital city all disliked the previous owner's family for committing suicide in the house, which made the house carry ghost spirits and bad luck. Therefore, no one was willing to take over the house and it has been abandoned for more than 10 years.
It was a useless thing anyway, so Meng Qisui took advantage of this charity fundraising auction to throw all these useless things away. There was nothing wrong with the house itself. It had a good location, good lighting, and was an orthodox three-story house. It was also considered a relatively valuable thing. Selling it for some money to help the victims was better than letting it gather dust in the hands of the Dali Temple.
Most of the officials in the court would not be interested in this house, but for the wealthy people of Yuanjing City and the officials who have just been transferred to Yuanjing City, it is already the best. Naturally, many bold and fearless people are very interested in it.
"The starting price is 5 taels of silver. Bidding begins now..."
Following the announcement by the host Mei Niang, people immediately started bidding.
"I'll pay 5 taels..."
"No house in Shilang Hutong, Xizhi Street, is sold for less than 10 taels. You're only offering 5. Don't laugh at others...
I'll give you 10..."
"10 is nothing. I'll pay 12. It's just money. No problem, no problem."
