My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

As soon as Chi Yan finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Even Dieyi, who was sitting in the audience, was shocked.

She glanced at Chi Yan with a dark look in her eyes, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

Who are the guests at table number 99?

He always quoted prices without hesitation, as if what came out of his mouth was not real money, but a string of meaningless numbers.

Chuntao was very happy. This was the first time that her young lady was in charge of an auction. The transaction price had already exceeded the highest price of 1,888 taels achieved when Liu Siniang opened the auction last year!

Next, as long as she creates a good atmosphere, the final transaction price will definitely continue to rise!

By then, I will be able to trample Liu Si Niang under my feet!

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is only one girl left on the stage!"

As soon as Chuntao finished speaking, someone started bidding.

This round of bidding was indeed more intense than the previous three rounds, with the bid soaring from fifty taels to more than four thousand taels.

Seeing that no one raised the price anymore, the guests turned their attention to Chi Yan at table 99.

Chi Yan didn't bid in this round. Seeing that everyone seemed to be waiting for him to bid, how could he disappoint the guests who were watching the fun?

Then, he raised his hand, which was covered with large gems, again and said, "I'll give you five thousand taels!"

The moment he shouted out the price, everyone present felt that although Chi Yan had a lot of money, he was really stupid.

For a young girl like this who has not yet lost her virginity, it’s worth spending a hundred taels of silver to try her out.

But! Even if the four of them were added together, they wouldn't be worth a thousand taels of silver.

"Brother, I advise you not to ask for such an exorbitant price. If you don't pay that much when the time comes, you might not even be able to leave Xunhuan Tower tonight!"

Xunhuanlou employs so many thugs and security guards, not only to look after the abducted children, but also to intimidate the guests, to prevent them from causing trouble under the pretext of being drunk and deliberately running away with their bills.

Chi Yan scoffed lightly, "Is the small amount I spent tonight considered too much? I have plenty of money, so I advise you to stay out of the rich people's business!"

The guests present looked at the four girls standing behind Chi Yan and said sourly, "Miss Dieyi, you only had a few girls prepared for the auction, and they were all bought by one person. What are you going to do with the other guests who came here for the auction?"

Dieyi stood up from the table, looked around, and said with a smile, "What we have the most in Xunhuan Tower is girls. Please be patient, the finale is still to come!"

As she spoke, she nodded to Chuntao. Chuntao walked to the side of the stage, grabbed the red silk decoration on the stage and pulled it hard.

Suddenly, all the red silk hanging from the second floor was torn down.

When the red silk fell to the ground, everyone saw that there was a huge cage behind the platform.

And standing in the cage was a little boy who was about ten years old.

The little boy was thin, and his light-colored robe looked empty on him. His features on his palm-sized face were more delicate and beautiful than those of the little girl.

When he was exposed in front of everyone, his curled eyelashes trembled, and his clear and blank eyes were filled with panic.

"How bizarre! A person is in a cage!"

I don't know who shouted, but everyone in the audience suddenly became very interested in the person in the cage whose gender was indistinguishable.

"Miss Dieyi, why does the person in the cage look like a boy?"

"Why are you still auctioning boys in Xunhuanlou? We want girls, pretty girls!"

"I think this little thing looks quite unique. Maybe it's a girl wearing men's clothes!"

A middle-aged man in his forties stared intently at the boy in the cage and shouted, "I've taken a fancy to the little thing in the cage. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. Miss Dieyi, name a price and I'll take her away!"

"Hey! My dear, you can't break the rules of the auction. The items on the stage can only go to the highest bidder!"

The guests looked at the little boy in the cage with wonderful expressions on their faces.

Friends who often visit brothels know that some people like to hunt for novelty, while some people are born with a preference for homosexuality.

Now, seeing the boy in the cage who looked prettier than the little girl, they all had an expression of great interest on their faces.

When Dieyi recognized who the boy in the cage was, her face changed immediately.

She ignored the guests' teasing and waved to Chuntao.

Chun Tao received the instructions and hurried to her side, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Dieyi couldn't lose her temper in front of so many guests, so she could only lower her voice and ask Chuntao, "Is Liu Si Niang crazy? Why did you bring him up on stage?"

Didn’t you say you were preparing a finale?

Why was he the one sent to the stage?

He was the most handsome of all the abducted boys, and an adult had already taken a fancy to him.

If he were to be auctioned off to someone else tonight, would that gentleman let it go?

Chun Tao hadn't expected that the item in the cage had been replaced by Liu Si Niang. "Miss, I don't know what happened. Liu Si Niang must have done it on purpose. She wanted to embarrass you!"

Recently, the people whose children were abducted have reported the case to the police. The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple attach great importance to the missing cases and have dispatched additional personnel to track down the whereabouts of the missing children.

Although Xunhuanlou was protected by a master, auctioning boys in a brothel was inherently eye-catching.

If they are targeted by the government, will they still want to do business?

Dieyi raised her hand and stroked her forehead, then ordered her in a deep voice, "Hurry up and find a way to get him out, and find a few girls to replace him!"

However, before Chun Tiao could reply, a guest got impatient and said, "Miss Dieyi, why hasn't this round of auction started yet? Everyone is waiting to bid for this gorgeous boy!"

When Dieyi turned to look at the man asking the question, her smile had returned. "I'm so sorry, the one in the cage is our security guard's apprentice. I don't know who put him in the cage as a joke! I'll go get the girls to come on stage!"

After hearing her subtext, one customer became unhappy on the spot. "The rule of Xunhuanlou is that any item that has been shown on the stage must go through all the auction procedures. It just so happens that my yard is short of a security guard, so I'm going to buy him back!"

"What a coincidence! I'm also short of a security guard in my yard, and I want to bid too!"

Many customers are determined to get the boy locked in the cage.

They are ready to go, just waiting for the bid.

Dieyi was in a dilemma, her palms sweating with anxiety. "Where is Liu Si Niang? She caused this mess, and now she wants me to clean it up for her?"

Xunhuanlou does have rules. As long as the item is displayed, it must enter the auction stage and cannot be interrupted halfway.

If Xunhuanlou doesn't want to sell the boy, it can only offer a price higher than that of all other customers and buy the item back.

Chun Tao replied, "I'm afraid Liu Si Niang is still teaching that little girl a lesson!"

Dieyi decided to report what happened tonight to her master tomorrow and let her master severely punish Liu Si Niang!

Now, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Everyone, in order not to spoil everyone's fun, the auction of the items on the stage will begin now. The starting price is still fifty taels. Each round of increase will start at ten taels!"

"Fifty taels!"

The first one to make an offer was Chi Yan.

After seeing clearly that there were children in the cage, he was so angry that he almost rushed up and killed these beasts!

However, thinking of the emperor's instructions, he held back.

Once Xuanming has rescued everyone, he will definitely not let go of these bad women who auctioned off the children as commodities!

On the other side, Wang Dali led Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue through a long corridor and walked for a long time before arriving at the place where the children were kept.

This is the deepest part of the backyard, far away from the front hall. The two followed Wang Dali and did not climb over the wall, but pushed the door directly into the yard.

The moment Xue Youli stepped into the yard, she felt that it was unusually quiet here.

The noisy and intoxicating sounds of stringed instruments in the front hall of Xunhuan Tower seemed to have disappeared, and could not be heard at all.

The yard was so quiet that there was hardly any living person to be seen. There were only two lanterns hanging in the empty yard, and the light was dim.

It was quiet all around, no one was in sight and no children crying could be heard.

Chu Xinyue looked around, but didn't see a single person, not even a ghost. "Strange! Why is there no one here? Could they have all been transferred to the lobby of Xunhuan Building to maintain order?"

After all, there are several times more guests in Xunhuanlou tonight than usual. If there are no thugs keeping an eye on it, trouble will easily arise.

Wang Dali came closer to them and whispered, "The sentries here are all there, but they're hiding where you can't see them."

Chu Xinyue asked in confusion, "Then why didn't anyone stop us when we came in?"

"Because we were all wearing Xunhuanlou's clothes, they thought we were one of their own."

Just as Wang Dali finished his explanation, the door of a room not far away opened and a woman in her forties walked out.

[Name: Aunt Zhao, 45 years old, a maid who served the former madam of Xunhuan Tower. She is now responsible for training the abducted children.]

At this moment, Aunt Zhao looked at the three people in the courtyard, a dark glint flashing in her shrewd eyes, "Who allowed you to come here?"
