Baisu, who was disguised as a merchant, said with a frown. She acted like a curious foreigner.
Lin Mengya kept her head down and stood behind Baisu, so no one noticed her.
The man chatted for a while and then handed her the other half of the bronze plate.
After checking the goods, they had to take the complete pair of bronze plates to the auction house to complete the handover.
But before that, they had already handed over the money, so they were not afraid that the buyers would go back on their word.
Baisu looked around quietly. After making sure that no one was looking at them, she pushed the door open.
The small room was a little shabby, with only a bed and a chair.
Amidst the clouds of dust, a man in gray clothes sat on the bed.
That person's hair was black like ink, and his figure was slender and weak. From his back, he seemed elegant and refined, and he didn't fit in with everything here.
Hearing the noise outside, the man turned around.
A beautiful and haggard face appeared in Lin Mengya's sight.
As a woman, Lin Mengya had to admit that the man was a rare beauty.
"Hello."
Lin Mengya was taken aback by the man's words.
"A … man?"
Baisu and Yong 'er, who were standing beside her, were confused. Didn't anyone tell her?
Fortunately, this was just a small interlude.
It made no difference to Lin Mengya whether the man was a woman or a man.
The man's voice was very clear. She could tell that he must have taken good care of himself.
A famous actor was a famous actor. Even though he was down and out, he still had his old style.
"Did I scare you?"
The man tilted his head slightly and asked with a smile.
Lin Mengya knew that actors, especially Dan Jiao, had studied the manners and movements of women very carefully.
It was not surprising that he could tell their gender. After taking a few steps forward, she saw that the man had a pair of light brown eyes.
Even though he was now the lowliest slave, his eyes were still indifferent.
He couldn't pretend to be fearful and fearful, nor could he be arrogant.
He was him, the bright brilliance of a bright mirror like the moon.
Such a man did not look like a villain who helped the Rong family.
However, such a man was also the best at disguising himself.
It was also a fact that he had participated in the affairs of the Rong family.
"Are you trying to scare us? You don't deserve it. From today onwards, you are my servant. If you still want to live, you'd better listen to me. "
The corners of that person's mouth stiffened, but only for a short moment.
He lowered his extremely dim eyes and nodded.
"Chu Feng understands."
Seeing that he was so sensible, Lin Mengya felt a little less troublesome.
She and Shang'er had taken the risk to sneak over just out of curiosity.
She asked Baisu to bid for Chu Feng for the Rong family.
Furthermore, this person knew so many secrets of the Rong family. It wouldn't be easy to take him out of the auction house.
After checking that there were no mistakes, there would be special carriages in the auction house to help transport the slaves to the buyers' homes or temporary lodgings.
Of course, she couldn't go to the Gong's Inn openly. Fortunately, Lin Mengya had expected such a situation. She asked Gong Si to use some secret connections to rent a place for her.
Of course, the slaves had to be transported there.
The person they met at the door just now would definitely report the conversation between them. Whether they could get out of this door or not would depend on how they reacted next.
At the back door of the goods, Baisu handed the bronze plate in her hand to the person who opened the door.
After the man examined it carefully, he smiled embarrassedly and said.
"There is no problem with your brand, but there is something wrong with the goods. Our boss said that he is willing to redeem them at double the price. What do you think? "
Baisu glanced at the person and said coldly.
"It turns out that your auction house is also a place that goes back on its words. In this case, I won't make things difficult for you. Five times. It's not easy for me to come here. Your goods are just ordinary. Not only did you not satisfy me, but you also wasted so much of my time. I can't accept a single loss. I know that the Rong family and the Xu family are powerful, but it's not impossible to reason with them. "
The manager in charge of the delivery changed his face. But Baisu's voice had attracted a lot of attention.
As an auction house, this kind of behavior that went back on its words was unacceptable.
Once it lost its credibility, the auction house would not be able to do business.
The manager froze with a smile on his face, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.
"You are right. Why don't you let me discuss it with you? Don't be impatient. Servants, serve tea."
The manager left in a hurry. Lin Mengya and Shang'er hid not far away and saw the man go into a house. After a few minutes, he came out again.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Just now, my boss said that since we are doing business, there is no reason to snatch what others like. Please take the slaves away. It's my fault. I'm sorry. "
Baisu glanced at him, snorted coldly, and then left with the carriage.
Lin Mengya saw the steward waving his hand, and a few strong men immediately followed her quietly.
"Miss, should we remind Elder Sister Baisu?"
Shang'er quietly tugged at her sleeve and asked in a low voice.
Lin Mengya shook her head and smiled mysteriously.
No matter what the Rong Family's purpose was, they had suffered a double loss this time.
It was difficult to make her spit out what she had swallowed.
Seeing that Baisu had left with the men, Lin Mengya and Shang'er went back the way they came.
At this time, the auction house was still bustling. If there were no accidents, they would stay here for a whole day.
There would be three auctions a day, and all the highlights were in the evening.
And the auction on the last night three days later was the main battlefield for these aristocratic families to compete with their wealth.
It was said that at that time, people could spend money like water. Money and wealth could do whatever they wanted here.
But Lin Mengya knew that with the support of the money in the basement, the Gong Family would definitely be amazing.
And the reason why she wanted to spend money was to attract the attention of the emperor.
After all, people would always be suspicious if she sent herself to the door.
Lin Mengya and Shang'er sneaked back to the place where they changed clothes just now and helped each other change into the women's clothes. It was just that the hair accessories and makeup couldn't be restored so well.
Shang'er was clever, but she was a human after all.
Before she went out, there were a total of five women helping her with her makeup.
While the two of them were busy helping her with her hair accessories, Lin Mengya suddenly heard some movement outside.
She immediately covered Shang'er's little mouth and the two of them hid under the table.
After a while, two people came in from outside.
"Didn't I tell you that it is very dangerous here? If you meet that woman, she will definitely harm you! "
It was a man's voice, and it was very familiar.
That's right, isn't it the palace road?
"Brother Lu, I am worried about you, right? Besides, I really can't take this lying down. That woman took away everything that belonged to me, and now she is still so ostentatious. It is obvious that she wants to harm the Gong Family! "
This voice …
Lin Mengya's eyes widened. She would never forget this pretentious and coquettish voice.
But why was she here?
"Don't, don't do this."
Although Gong Lu hated himself very much, he was still a gentleman in the sense that he was single.
If it was not for the family, he would never disobey Gong Bin's orders.
"Brother Lu, don't tell me that even you hate me? I, I only have you as my family. "
The woman did not let it go and pretended to cry.
Gong Lu immediately panicked and said hurriedly.
"Don't cry, don't cry! Who said that I am your only family member? Master Xiao will definitely believe me. You don't know this, but Master Xiao has traveled extensively and is very knowledgeable. If he can confirm that the woman is an imposter, he will never let her go! When that time comes, you can openly return to the Gong Family to acknowledge your ancestors! "
Lin Mengya laughed coldly in her heart. No wonder Gong Lu and Gong Bin suspected her.
So that person was actually 'her'.
"I know, but when I saw that woman being so smug, I felt as if my heart was being cut by a knife. That money was accumulated by the Gong Family bit by bit, and now it is all squandered by her. I am afraid that if we delay for too long, that woman will take away all the Gong Family's assets! "
See, her motive was exposed.
She was still as selfish and greedy as ever. She did not expect that her extravagance would not only attract the attention of the aristocratic families, but also attract an unexpected little fish.
"That won't happen! Don't worry, Master Xiao will keep an eye on her. It's getting late, you'd better go back early. I'll visit you when I'm free. "
Gong Lu was loyal and comforted the woman in a low voice.
"Oh yes, Brother Lu, didn't you say that you never had a chance to make that woman tell the truth? I have something good here. If you can make that woman drink it, she will tell the truth. "
Trying to murder her?
Lin Mengya wanted to see how this idiot would court death.
Unexpectedly, Gong Lu did not take it, but said sternly.
"No way! The Gong Family is open and aboveboard. Although she falsely claimed your identity, our Gong family still owes her a debt of gratitude. No matter what, I will not bite the hand that feeds me! Go back first, Master Xiao will make the decision for you. "
"But …"
"No buts. Since you are the future master of the Gong Family, you should abide by the rules of the Gong Family. I'll leave first, be careful. "
Before the woman could continue to persuade him, Gong Lu lifted the curtain and left.
The woman stamped her feet and cursed.
"What an idiot! Hmph, if you don't do it, someone else will. Lin Mengya, it's time for me to collect what you owe me! "
The woman's voice was extremely vicious, as if she had a lot of resentment towards her.
