The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

On May 24th, Mingxianglou in the south of the city was auctioned.

There was a huge crowd.

Li San shouted until his voice became hoarse, but he was very happy in his heart.

He truly admired Lu Yanyan for coming up with the auction method.

The title deed, decoration and existing tea of ​​Mingxianglou were worth at most 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver, but the price was raised to 100,000 taels.

Lu Youtian, who was crying beside him, almost couldn't hold back his expression.

His family only spent 30,000 taels to buy this shop, and only spent more than 4,000 taels to decorate it. The tea was brought back by Lu Fugui from Yuezhou Prefecture, and the cost price was not high.

He has already earned back these costs.

"One hundred thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels, is there anyone else who would like to bid?"

Li San held a gong in his left hand and a mallet in his right hand, as if he was ready to strike at any time.

But he didn't want to ask for it now. Mr. Lu said that if the amount exceeded 50,000 taels, he would get 10% of the excess.

"One hundred and one thousand taels!"

"Okay, one hundred and one thousand taels, once..."

"One hundred and two thousand taels!"

……

"One hundred and twenty thousand taels! Who would dare to compete with me?"

A fat man in extravagant clothes with a loud voice.

The crowd fell silent instantly. Li San had clearly said to increase the price by 1,000 taels each time, but the fat man suddenly raised the price to 10,000 taels.

Mingxianglou's business is booming, who among them wouldn't be tempted?

But they also knew that Mingxianglou's business was good because Mr. Lu was good at running it. If they were to run it, they might not be able to achieve the same success as before.

One hundred and twenty thousand taels is really too high.

Lu Youtian was also a little surprised. When the bid reached 110,000 taels, he winked at Li Sankuang and said, "Enough, enough, you can ring the gong."

But Li San acted as if he didn't see it and continued to ask people to raise the price.

Only after the fat man called out the price did Li San raise the gong and hammer high.

"One hundred and twenty thousand taels once, one hundred and twenty thousand taels twice, one hundred and twenty thousand taels three times, deal!"

Li San said this very quickly. He saw that there were still a few people in the crowd who wanted to raise the price, so he quickly rang the gong.

A middle-aged man in blue brocade clothes was unhappy.

"I haven't even shouted yet. I want to pay 130,000 taels!"

The fat man was furious: "Are you looking for a fight? The gong has been struck, this shop is mine."

"It's not like the highest bidder wins. My price is higher than yours. You haven't transferred the property yet, so even if you knock on the door it doesn't count."

The fat man was so angry that he swung his fist, and Li San quickly stopped him.

"Mr. Liang, calm down, calm down. This is my fault. It's my first time doing this auction, so I'm not very experienced. I really did call out too quickly just now. I should have waited for this gentleman to continue bidding."

The fat guy, also known as Liang Dongjia, was furious.

"Li San, what do you mean? Are you trying to cheat?"

"Master Liang, your 120,000 taels of silver haven't been paid yet, so the deal isn't done yet. Let me ask Master Lu's opinion."

Liang Dongjia took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket, stuffed them into Li San's hand, and then grabbed his collar.

"Come on, follow me to the government office now to handle the formalities."

"Mr. Liang, don't be like this. Mr. Lu, I think we should just go to the government office and transfer the house deed now."

Lu Youtian looked at the man in brocade clothes, then looked at Liang Dongjia, and finally sighed with a reluctant look on his face.

"We're businessmen, and we keep our word. Now that Boss Li has rung the gong, this shop belongs to Boss Liang. But, Boss Li, don't yell so quickly next time!"

Li San looked guilty. "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your understanding. I will never do this again. Please, go get the land and house deeds."

“They’re all in the store.”

After Lu Youtian finished speaking, he reluctantly took the house deeds and land deeds from the store and went to the yamen with Li San and Liang Dongjia.

The man in brocade clothes received Li San's look, stamped his feet, and left unwillingly, not forgetting to curse as he left.

"That bastard Liang Shao only knows how to bully others by taking advantage of his power. Humph, I'm going back to Mingyuan County right now and will give this bastard some money to fight!"

Liang Shao?

Lu Yanyan and Han Qingyun, who were standing on the second floor, remembered.

Liang Shao was the one who used a vase to force Ma Chao to sell himself and forced Ma Xiaolei to disfigure herself to protect herself.

Liang Shao was among those who registered for the auction, but Liang Shao never made a bid. Li San kept calling on him until he made a bid, and the fish was finally caught by Li San.

As for the man in brocade clothes, Lu Yanyan guessed that it should have been arranged by Li San.

Downstairs, the man in brocade clothes walked and cursed, rushing into the crowd, hiding his achievements and fame.

The transfer went smoothly.

Lu Youtian, with a sad face, came back with the support of Li San.

Liang Shao arrogantly ordered his men to take down the sign of Mingxianglou, and then told Han Qingyun and others to leave quickly.

When he saw Lu Yanyan, Liang Shao was stunned for a moment, with surprise and obsession flashing in his eyes, and his hand was about to touch Lu Yanyan.

Zhao Xingwu grabbed his hand and broke it, and Liang Shao screamed in pain.

Liang Shao was about to call for help when he saw Han Qingyun's cold gaze.

He suddenly remembered that Han Qingyun was the third place winner of this year's imperial examination. Although he was about to go to Jiyang, he was still the third place winner and someone he could not afford to offend.

Liang Shao spat: "This is already my Liang's Teahouse, you guys should leave quickly."

Han Qingyun grabbed Lu Yanyan and followed Lu Youtian back to Lu's house.

As soon as he got home, Lu Youtian stopped pretending. He took out the silver bills and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

Li San's commission and commission totaled 7,500 taels. After Lu Youtian counted them out and handed them to her, Li San was very happy.

His dental practice couldn't make that much money in several years, and thinking about the upcoming auction, Li San became even happier.

Although he was happy, he still explained Liang Shao's matter to a few people.

The Liang family is a well-known wealthy business family in Los Angeles.

Liang Shao's ancestors were relatively normal, but Liang Shao bullied men and women and did many bad things.

During the reign of the previous emperor, Liang Shao was imprisoned for fifteen years for raping a woman.

After the late emperor passed away, the Liang family asked someone to release Liang Shao early.

Later, Liang Shao became an ally of Dai Guangsheng, the former prefect of Jingzhao, and abused his power to bully others and commit all kinds of evil.

People like Ma Chao and Ma Xiaolei were lucky enough to have managed to save their lives.

Many people lost their families and loved ones because of Liang Shao, but they could do nothing about him.

Now, Dai Guangsheng is already in danger because of the false accusation against Prince Lin. If Liang Shao still does not restrain himself, he will surely suffer the consequences.

Han Qingyun and the others could also hear the indignation in Li San's words.

The price of 120,000 taels to acquire Mingxianglou was very high, but not particularly outrageous.

Mingxianglou has a good location, good decoration, and also has novel scripts and stage plays. As long as Liang Shao runs it with a little effort, the business will not be bad.

Whether it was Mingxianglou or later renamed Liang's Teahouse, it was always an eye-catching piece of fat meat.

He could not defend Liang Shao, who had lost the protection of Jingzhao Yin and committed many evil deeds.

As for whether Liang Shao would cling to another official and seek protection?

impossible!

The official style in Los Angeles has become corrupt. Any official with a little dignity or a higher rank will not want a dog that has been raised by someone else.

What's more, this dog still has some good fat meat on its body. I'm afraid that no matter who Liang Shao picks on, he will be eaten until only bones are left.

"Boss Li, good plan." Lu Yanyan praised.

"Haha, it would take a smart person like Madam Han to come up with such a great method as auctioning for my plan to work."

After praising each other for a few words, Lu Youtian pulled Li San aside to discuss the next auction.
