Chapter 32 Midnight Auction
Strange to say, with Luo Zigeng guarding beside him, Kong Xin fell asleep soundly, being stroked by his warm palm, his messy brain also quieted down obediently.
No dream.
It was already evening when he woke up, the room smelled sweet of corn porridge, Kong Xin rubbed his temples, hugged himself up, and saw through the glass that Luo Zigeng was wearing an apron stirring a pot of sweet porridge in the kitchen.
The sky was getting late outside the window, and the burning clouds were extremely beautiful for half a day.
Sitting on the bed, looking at the tall figure in the kitchen, Kong Xin was a little dazed. A feeling that he had never felt before slowly fermented in his heart. The warm current quietly rose along the nerve fibers, and his limbs and bones gradually warmed up.
This is the only good thing about an apartment hotel. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, plus a good cooking wife, it's like a newlywed two people's small family.
"Cough," Kong Xin cleared his throat.
Luo Zigeng poked his head out and showed a smiling face, "Are you awake? There is warm water on the bedside table, moisten your throat first, you smoked too much last night."
Kong Xin took a sip from the cup, and the sweetness of honey spread to the cerebral cortex along the tip of his tongue, and he felt a sweet feeling in his whole body. After drinking the honey water slowly, looking at the busy figure in the kitchen, he couldn't help but think that this kid still Really like a little good wife.
After a while, Kong Yi also came over thievingly, and pushed the door open, "Wow, it smells so good!"
"Wash your hands and eat," Luo Zigeng brought the porridge and side dishes to the table.
After Kong Yi washed his hands, he wiped his wet hands on Kong Xin's back, sat at the table, twisted a piece of shredded meat and threw it into his mouth, raised his thumb, "virtuous."
Luo Zigeng peeled a lotus-leaf chicken for Kong Xin, "Eight Wise King came over this morning and saw that you were falling asleep, so he left."
"What about Feng Liu?"
"Well," Luo Zigeng said, "His people found out that Feng Liu was robbing tombs in Xinzheng some time ago, but he has never appeared in Nanjing, and he has not been seen in Shanghai, Wuxi and other antique streets. He is suspected to be still in Xinzheng and has not left."
Kong Xin nodded, "Let him continue the investigation, we must find out Feng Liu."
After eating, Luo Zigeng took out a black invitation card, "Eight Wise Kings still left this one."
Kong Xin glanced at it, his face became serious, "Hei Jian?"
"What kind of thing is this? It looks really evil." Kong Yi took it over and looked at it over and over again. "Whose invitation card is black, and there is no place."
"This is the pass for the Midnight Auction," Kong Xin tapped his finger on the table twice unconsciously. "It is a small-scale underground auction, and there are many prohibited items, such as bronze wares of the third generation."
Luo Zigeng thought for a while, "Can you guarantee safety?"
"Absolutely safe," Kong Xin smiled, raising the black note in his hand, "Although Wang Baxian is unreliable in various ways, he will never take me into danger."
When it got dark, the three of them dressed neatly, took a taxi and walked around in the old city until they came to a dirty small hotel. Kong Yi looked up, "Damn it, gorgeous hotel, amazing taste!! !"
Luo Zigeng smiled and said, "The taste of the Eight Wise Kings is beyond the reach of mere mortals."
Wang Baxian was sleeping on the bed with his clothes on, when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes, squinted his eyes and looked at Kong Xin for a long time, "Why haven't I seen you for a few days, you lost weight again?"
"I wish you would praise me for being handsome again." Kong Xin walked over to the bed and sat down. "What's the matter with the black note?"
Wang Baxian rubbed his face and pulled himself together, "It's an auction, I heard that there are some good things, and you happen to be here, so go open your eyes, but you know what you can touch and what you can't touch."
Kong Xin responded, "What did you find out?"
"I don't know the details, but most of the people who can enter the midnight auction are illegal goods," Wang Baxian looked for a lighter with a cigarette in his mouth. The tomb was swept clean, not even a copper coin was left, and these rats are going to be sold, so I think there are good things in this auction, but they are only limited to opening your eyes. There are those two little ones, don't touch things that shouldn't be touched, Gujin Pavilion is a serious business."
Kong Xin took out a lighter and lit it for him, "Nonsense, of course I know that."
There were two knocks on the door, and a bodyguard came in, "Boss, it's almost time."
"Prepare the car," Wang Baxian ordered, got up from the bed, snored on Kong Xin's hair, "let's go."
The auction was held in a hotel. As night fell, dozens of cars were already parked in the parking lot in front of the door. At a glance, they were all famous cars. Kong Xin frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that this auction was like a nouveau riche .
Wang Baxian's extended Lincoln slowly drove into the parking lot, and the parking boy came up to meet him. Kong Yi got out of the car first, and then Luo Zigeng and Kong Xin also got off. Standing up, he suddenly became a horse boy, because someone's domineering aura is really leaking to the bottom.
The car had come to a complete stop, Wang Baxian was sitting in the back seat motionless, cutting a cigar casually with a small silver knife, the driver trotted over and opened the car door, and said respectfully, "My lord, we're here."
"Well," Wang Baxian responded, and a bodyguard came up to light the cigar. Wang Baxian raised his face and took a puff, exhaling light smoke comfortably, then moved his hips lightly, and slowly got out of the car.
Luo Zigeng: "..."
Kong Xin gritted his teeth and whispered in his ear, "Give me another fucking try."
"You know what a bird!" Wang Baxian bared his teeth quickly, "This is called ostentation, a symbol of status!"
After he played enough prestige at the door, a group of four people were able to enter the hotel. After verifying their identities, a waiter guided them through the long corridor to a door, and handed two black notes into the door. After a while, the heavy door was only half opened, and the waiter smiled, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Kong, please come in."
Stepping into the door, there is a small reception hall. Kong Xin paid the deposit and got a number plate. Kong Yi was overjoyed, pointing to the number plate and laughing, "Puff hahaha 419!!! Brother, you lame!"
"Shut up, take it!" Kong Xin threw the number plate on Kong Yi's face.
"Short oil is really not warm," Kong Yi muttered, and followed him honestly with his number plate to the banquet hall.
Luo Zigeng remained calmly half a body away from Kong Xin throughout the whole process. He was tall and strong, and followed Kong Xin with a straight face, like a tall bodyguard.
The banquet hall opened the door, and in an instant, the hustle and bustle overflowed. There were more than four hours before midnight. At this time, there was a banquet and preview in the banquet hall, and dozens of treasures and antiques were shining brightly under the lights.
"Cui Yufeng, Zhao Haixu, Huajian, An Xingman..." Kong Xin picked up a wine glass, walked around the venue while drinking, recognized several familiar faces, and said in a low voice, "They are all well-known rich men, no It’s short of money, this auction is obviously for cheating money.”
Luo Zigeng also knows these rich men, who are at the same level as his father, with a lot of money, and entered the antique market without knowing anything, and raised a few appraisal experts to think that he was invincible. It's fine if you like antiques, the worst thing is to spend a high price to buy yourself happy, the most terrible thing is to come here to make money, how can you play with antique bugs that have been rolled in the market for several lifetimes, and in the end you will not lose your claws. Finished.
He said softly, "Strange..."
"What's so strange?" Kong Xin looked back at him.
Luo Zigeng leaned closer to his ear, "There are not many real collectors, such as Pan Nanhua. Wasn't he still in Ruzhou a while ago? It's not far from here. Could it be that he has already left?"
Hearing this, Kong Xin glanced around the venue, "It's true that he's not there, and he didn't send his confidants over, but this midnight auction is full of illegal goods, and many people look down on... Ri!"
"What's wrong?" Luo Zigeng immediately became vigilant.
"Feng Liu!" Kong Xin put the wine glass back on the table, quickly walked through the crowd and chased after him.
Luo Zigeng frowned, and followed closely, but saw him walking through the crowd a few times, then gradually stopped, his eyes scanned the audience, wondering, "Sneaked for him?"
Kong Xin nodded, "I took a look just now, I don't know if it's him."
"Forget about Feng Liu, let's enjoy the auction." Luo Zigeng patted him on the shoulder, "I saw it just now, and there is a lacquer box that looks very good."
Kong Xin followed him and looked at the lacquer box inside through the glass, "The appearance is indeed good, but there is nothing special about it, and it's not interesting to store it."
Luo Zigeng nodded, "But I'm quite acquainted with it."
Kong Yi lay on the display cabinet, pouted at a large Jiajing multicolored pot behind the glass, "How much is this thing worth?"
"Money is second," Kong Xin tapped on his forehead. "Its value lies in the fact that it was passed down hundreds of years ago. The craftsmanship/style of that year cannot be replicated now."
"Who said it can't be copied?" Kong Yi said disdainfully, "Kang Chun...ah bah, that demon who can't even be named can definitely confuse the real one with the real one. I've seen a lot with him."
Kong Xin shook his wine glass and sneered at him, "It seems that you admire him a lot, and you can think of him even when you look at a big colorful jar."
"How could I worship him!" Kong Yi yelled, "This is called a psychological shadow! Day! I don't know if my sex life will be affected in the future, what a fucking crime!"
Luo Zigeng laughed, "Actually, I think the two of you are quite suitable, one thing and one thing."
"Get out!" Kong Yi roared, "Your aesthetic distortion does not mean that I am also aesthetically distorted!"
Kong Xin was displeased, "Hey, you're in a mess again, aren't you?"
Gujin Pavilion smashed 5000 million yuan on the Chai Kiln Piercing Ear Bottle, and its vitality was seriously injured. Even for such a small-scale auction, they did not dare to sell it lightly.
The auction lasted for more than five hours. One piece of antique was invited to the display stand, shining brilliantly under the light. Porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting, bronze, sculpture... Kong Xin only raised his cards seven times, and all of them passed through a few mouthfuls. After the price increase, they were forced out, but the few pieces of porcelain that appeared in this auction were not very good in appearance, and they looked like newly unearthed ones, so I dare not auction them.
On the other hand, Luo Zigeng made a big hit with RP, and almost bought the rhinoceros lacquer box at a low price. It is black and red, covered with cloud patterns, and the appearance is very complete.
"Do you like lacquerware? I remember that you don't have much research on this," Kong Xin asked on the car back.
Luo Zigeng smiled, "I don't know either. When I saw this lacquer box, I had an inexplicable feeling that I wanted it."
"Hey mother," Wang Baxian shivered exaggeratedly, "You kid fell in love with this box? Why are you so disgusting?"
Kong Xin slapped him on the head, "Why do you, a rough guy, talk to a gentle man?"
"Hey, you're capable again..." Wang Baxian covered his forehead and stared.
"Are you still arguing?" Kong Xin raised his eyebrows, "Do you understand art? Do you understand grooming? Do you understand emotions, attitudes and values? If you don't understand anything, just listen honestly."
Wang Baxian was furious, "Why are you dragging? Why don't I understand art? When I stood there, my hair and toes were full of low-key and luxurious artistic atmosphere. You are the one who doesn't understand art, vulgar Asshole!"
When Lincoln put down the three vulgar bastards in front of the hotel, Wang Baxian swears at Kong Xin with his middle finger in his anger that if he commits a crime again in this life, the prince will cut off his penis!
No dream.
It was already evening when he woke up, the room smelled sweet of corn porridge, Kong Xin rubbed his temples, hugged himself up, and saw through the glass that Luo Zigeng was wearing an apron stirring a pot of sweet porridge in the kitchen.
