Ye Yiqing was still observing the mysterious room when he suddenly saw Ye Zhen stand up and look at the man being auctioned on the auction stage with a look of shock and disbelief. Latest Update
It was a young man, slender, dressed in a very ordinary brocade robe, with resentment and unwillingness on his face. His eyes were fixed on the window with the black curtain.
"Do you know that man?" Ye Yiqing asked Ye Zhen in a low voice.
Ye Zhen was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out. "He … he is Zhao Tianji. I should not be mistaken."
"Who is Zhao Tianji?" Ye Yiqing asked.
"The owner of Zhao Island." Ye Zhen said, remembering that her father did not know that she went to Zhao Island with Huang Fuchen. "I saw Ye Chunming on Zhao Island. I haven't seen Zhao Tianji for a long time. I didn't expect to see him here."
Ye Yiqing glanced at Zhao Tianji on the auction stage. "He must have offended someone."
Even if he had offended someone, he would not be sold like a slave on the auction stage. "Dad, can we save him?"
"Are you talking about robbing him or buying him?" Ye Yiqing asked, raising his eyebrows.
Robbing? Ye Zhen glanced down. It seemed that she could not compete with Zhao Tianji, so she could only buy him. "He should not be worth much money. Who would buy an uncle to serve them?"
Just as she finished speaking, the auctioneer introduced Zhao Tianji in a loud voice, "This is the Island Master of the Zhao Family Island. If anyone buys him, he will be your servant. Even his person will be yours, not to mention his Zhao Family Island. The starting price is one hundred thousand taels, you can name your price."
Ye Zhen originally thought that tens of thousands of taels would be enough to take Zhao Tianji away. Now that the auctioneer said so, Zhao Tianji's value was linked to an island.
Even if she had more money, it would be difficult to buy Zhao Tianji.
Just as she hesitated, Zhao Tianji, who had been silent all this time, sneered. "Zhao Island is the territory of the Jin Kingdom. If you want to get Zhao Island, you have to discuss it with the emperor of the Central Plains first."
His words silenced many of the restless people. Although some of them did not know the situation of the Jin Nation, most of the people present were businessmen, and no one wanted to go against a country.
"Any bids?" the auctioneer asked loudly.
One hundred thousand taels of silver was not a small sum. If it was just to buy a person, it would be a great loss. As for the Zhao Family Island, regardless of whether the Jin Nation was powerful or not, it was not easy to occupy the territory of a country.
No one in the auction house made a bid. They didn't know the situation of the so-called Zhao Family Island. They didn't think that this person could do anything. As for being a slave, hehe, what kind of slave would be worth 100,000 taels of silver?
"One hundred thousand taels!" Ye Zhen raised her paddle. If no one competed with her, she would buy Zhao Tianji with one hundred thousand taels. When she rescued him, he would have to pay her at least two hundred thousand taels.
Hearing this voice, Zhao Tianji looked up in shock. Sure enough, he saw a familiar face. He was so excited that he almost shed tears of gratitude. It was actually Lu Yaoyao. Why was Lu Yaoyao here?
Suddenly, many people whispered to each other. They turned their heads and looked at Ye Zhen. It turned out to be a little girl. Could it be that she was attracted to the handsome man?
"Miss, it's too generous to spend one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy a handsome man." Someone saw that Ye Zhen was extraordinarily beautiful and couldn't help but tease her.
Ye Zhen didn't look at these people. She just looked at Zhao Tianji with a smile. She knew that he had recognized her.
"This girl will marry one hundred thousand taels of silver. Who else wants to increase the price?" The auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief. At least someone was willing to marry.
"You may not get the Zhao Family Island even if you buy him." Ye Yiqing said.
Ye Rou smiled and said, "The Zhao Family Island belongs to Mo Rongzhan, and Mo Rongzhan is mine. In the end, the Zhao Family Island is still mine. As for Zhao Tianji, he has to pay me back at least double the money."
Ye Yiqing shook his head and laughed. It was really clear. "Have you ever thought about why he was caught here and auctioned as a commodity?"
"Yes, why was he auctioned here as a commodity?" Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment and finally thought of this question. When she saw Zhao Tianji, she was so shocked that she was thinking about how to save him that she forgot why he was here.
"If no one bids, then …" The auctioneer planned to hit the hammer to set the price. He felt that no one would bid for Zhao Tianji again.
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver." Suddenly, someone spoke in a low voice.
Ye Zhen was ready to take Zhao Tianji away when she suddenly heard someone bid. She was completely stunned.
Who made the bid? Did he really think that he could get the Zhao Family Island by buying Zhao Tianji?
Zhao Tianji shouted at the window with the black curtain, "Shui Yichen, what do you mean?"
Wasn't this the man that Uncle Shui wanted to auction? Why did he buy him back? Everyone looked at the window in surprise.
"I suddenly don't want to sell." The man behind the black curtain continued in a low and mellow voice.
"You fell in love with me and can't bear to let me go." Zhao Tianji sneered. "It turns out that I'm worth two hundred thousand taels of silver."
Shui Yichen said lightly, "Take him away."
Zhao Tianji was furious. Knowing that the man behind the black curtain would not let him go, he turned to Lu Yaoyao. "Help me!"
"Wait a minute!" Ye Zhen stopped him. "I … I'll pay two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver." After that, she said to Zhao Tianji, "Do you have the money to pay me back? If you don't, won't I lose a lot?"
"You're still short of money?" Zhao Tianji shouted angrily. Not to mention that she was a dignified empress, with her medical skills, she could easily get two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver.
Zhao Tianji's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Five hundred thousand taels of silver." Shui Yichen suddenly spoke again. Anyway, no matter how much it was, it was his own money.
Zhao Tianji was so angry that he vomited blood. "Shui Yichen, you … you're despicable!"
"I'm despicable, so what?" Shui Yichen admitted generously.
Ye Zhen looked at Zhao Tianji sympathetically. "Little Tian, I have no other way."
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Tianji shouted. "You … you can cure his sister! His sister is ill!"
"…" Ye Zhen looked at Zhao Tianji speechlessly. He must be so angry that he became muddle-headed. How could saving a person be worth two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver?
Zhao Tianji looked in Shui Yichen's direction and said, "I really didn't hurt Miss Shui. She's ill. If you don't believe me, you can look for this girl. I couldn't walk before, but she cured me. She's a divine doctor."
Shui Yichen remained silent and did not answer.
Ye Yiqing looked at Zhao Tianji indifferently, thinking that he shouldn't have offered to save him just now. He should have made him a slave.
