"King Liang, you slandered the gods. If you don't give them proper punishment, I'm afraid the gods will be dissatisfied. What do you think?" Xiao Yanheng asked.

Upon hearing that he would be punished, King Liang was trembling with fear, but under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he could only reluctantly nod and say, "I obey your order."

"Very good. I will punish you by making you pay for the purchase of food and present treasures to the gods. What do you think?" Xiao Yanheng made another request.

King Liang closed his eyes and agreed, "Your humble servant is willing."

Xiao Lishi said sarcastically, "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place? King Liang, you have brought this upon yourself."

When the others heard this, they all burst into laughter, but King Liang felt heartbroken. He had to buy food out of his own pocket and prepare treasures to offer to the gods. He felt that his life was worse than death.

Seeing the King of Liang's worried look, Xiao Yanheng quietly asked him, "Can immortals really let go of past grudges?"

"It depends on his performance." Xiao Yanheng said coldly and returned to the palace in a carriage.

On the way, he handed the letter to the chief eunuch, rubbed his brow, and asked in a low voice: "First I prayed for rain, and now I want to buy a large amount of grain. Will the gods be annoyed by me doing this?"

Upon hearing this, the chief eunuch's eyes flashed with surprise. Is this still the same decisive emperor as before?

In an instant, the eunuch in charge quickly hid his emotions, smiled, and shook his head gently.

"This is all for the benefit of the people of Great Wei. I believe the gods in heaven will understand."

The eunuch in charge's words put the worry at ease.

But on second thought, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

When did he become so timid?

When Su Yuan received Xiao Yanheng's letter, she ordered people to prepare food without saying a word, and also asked the cake shop to make a new batch of pastries.

As soon as the grain issue was finalized, Su Yuan quickly wrote a letter back to Xiao Yanheng, then called Yang Sheng and went to the factory for a tour.

After leaving the factory, she was not in a hurry to return to the small western-style building, but turned towards He Jingchen.

As soon as He Jingchen saw her, Fang Zhongyi rushed over to greet her.

He joked to Su Yuan with a smile on his face: "Miss Su, are you here to sell good stuff again today?"

Su Yuan immediately smiled and nodded in acknowledgment: "Mr. Fang, you really guessed it right, but this item is a little special. It seems to have only appeared in foreign auction houses."

After hearing these words, Fang Zhongyi's curiosity grew stronger.

He urged impatiently: "Miss Su, please let me, an old man, open my eyes."

Su Yuan immediately took out the gold ingot.

The air froze in the next moment and fell into an eerie silence.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Su Yuan touched his nose uneasily.

She asked cautiously, "Is there a problem?"

"It's okay."

Before Fang Zhongyi finished speaking, he picked up the gold ingot with slightly trembling hands and examined it carefully.

After checking it out, he looked up and looked at Su Yuan seriously.

"Girl, this thing of yours is a treasure of the Great Wei. It only appeared once abroad and sold for over eight million. Yours is in great condition, the pattern is still very clear, and it's from the time when Xiao Yanheng was in power. It's much more valuable than that one."

"Really? How much can it sell for?" Su Yuan asked curiously.

At this time, Situ Yefeng's voice came slowly: "If Miss Su is willing to sell it to me, I will pay 16 million. What do you think?"

Seeing Cheng Yaojin suddenly appear, Fang Zhongyi's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"You've snatched away all the business—"

Before he finished speaking, Fang Zhongyi recognized the person coming as Situ Yefeng.

He snorted coldly and immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Situ Yefeng, what do you mean by this? You even want to steal my business? I tell you, if you do this again, I will go to your father to complain."

"As you wish."

Situ Yefeng spread out his hands nonchalantly.

Then, he walked straight forward and snatched the gold ingot from Fang Zhongyi's hand. After examining it, he could no longer conceal the surprise in his eyes.

"It has been preserved so perfectly, without any signs of erosion by time. How did they do that?" Situ Yefeng asked in confusion.

Su Yuan, however, acted nonchalant and said, "After all, it's someone else's private matter, so it's not for me to pry into it."

Hearing this, a meaningful look flashed in Situ Yefeng's eyes.

When He Jingchen rushed to the scene, he happened to see Situ Yefeng staring at Su Yuan, while Fang Zhongyi was carefully looking at the gold ingot.

This scene looks really weird.

He looked at Yang Sheng, hoping to get an explanation from him.

Yang Sheng lowered his head and pretended not to see it.

Seeing this, He Jingchen had no choice but to give up.

He looked at Su Yuan curiously.

"Miss Su, these gold ingots are so well preserved. Could there be some secret recipe?"

Su Yuan smiled faintly and replied, "Actually, the original owner preserved it well. To be honest, I'm just selling it on behalf of the owner. This gold ingot doesn't belong to me."

When Situ Yefeng heard that the financial backer was someone else, he became even more interested.

"Could you introduce me to the seller?"

"No." She refused without hesitation, lying without a trace of guilt: "He is not an ordinary person. He doesn't accept invitations from outsiders."

It seems that this seller is really mysterious.

There are a lot of characters like this in this circle. Situ Yefeng was sensible enough not to ask any further questions.

He approached He Jingchen and casually suggested, "How about we do a deal?"

He Jingchen frowned slightly when he heard this.

He stepped back and said firmly, "There's no business to discuss with you."

"Oh." Situ Yefeng put his hand on He Jingchen's shoulder and changed the subject: "I know you have resentment in your heart. How about this, let's sit down and have a good discussion today?"

"No need."

He Jingchen remained calm and gently brushed the hand away.

Turning his head, he cast his gaze on Su Yuan again: "Miss Su, how about letting me handle this gold ingot?"

Su Yuan seemed to be in a dilemma when he heard this.

At this moment, Yang Sheng glanced at Su Yuan and quickly said, "The highest bidder wins."

As soon as Yang Sheng opened his mouth, He Jingchen glanced at him meaningfully.

Yang Sheng was frank and said seriously, "Since both of you are interested in her, and both of you are people I can't afford to offend, I will offend anyone I give her to. Naturally, whoever offers the highest price will get it, right?"

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Situ Yefeng.

Situ Yefeng immediately nodded in agreement: "That makes sense, the highest bidder wins."

He Jingchen smiled without saying anything, with a meaningful look.

"Okay, let's do it."

After he finished speaking, he immediately reported a number: "Twenty million."

Situ Yefeng's eyes suddenly opened.

He Jingchen raised his lips and said, "The highest bidder wins. Master Situ, are you reluctant to bid?"

Situ Yefeng slammed his hand on the table in anger.

"Who said I can't afford it? Are you the only one who has money? I'll give you a total of 26 million!"

"thirty million."

"Thirty-six million!"

"Forty million."

Situ Yefeng was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, glaring at He Jingchen.

"He Jingchen, you're just trying to pick a fight with me, right?"

He Jingchen didn't take it seriously and replied with a smile: "Master Situ, calm down. The highest bidder wins."

The situation was about to get out of control, and Su Yuan couldn't help but feel panicked.
