"Since no one has any objections, please start bidding."
Lu Feng paused and said with a smile.
But contrary to his expectations, no matter which family it was, they all remained strangely silent.
Among them was the Gong family, which was determined to get it.
"It seems that everyone has some concerns. It doesn't matter. I know that this car is a priceless treasure. You may think that no matter what price you bid, it will be a disgrace. In that case, why don't you think about how to give it a price? "
Lu Feng was experienced. When he saw this situation, he knew that things were not good.
Yesterday, when he came back from the Gong family, he just sat in the room with a cold face for half the night.
He had never seen him like this. He thought that the Gong family must have given him a hard time.
On the other hand, what ability did the Gong family have to make all the aristocratic families remain silent?
He couldn't help but make a lot of guesses. After all, it was these people who wanted to humiliate the Gong family.
It seemed that … they were a little too simple.
No matter what Lu Feng said, the aristocratic families above him refused to bid first.
Lin Mengya sat in the private room calmly. She knew that things had just begun.
According to the rules, if no one bid for the auction item in the end, the seller still had to pay a commission to the auction house.
However, the commission had to be 15% of the market value of the auction item.
If Gong Zhe paid, he was afraid that it would not be enough even if he lost all his wealth.
After a long time, so long that Lu Feng's mouth was dry and his smile was a little stiff, there were still people who couldn't stand it anymore.
"500 taels of silver!"
This price was simply laughable.
However, after someone made the first bid, many people also began to bid, probably to make a fuss.
However, no one knew whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally, but every time they bid, the price was ridiculously low, which made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
The Gong family remained silent, not as arrogant as before.
Gradually, they seemed to have forgotten how they were forced by Lin Mengya before.
Or, they were just trying to take revenge on the humiliation of being ridden over by a woman, as if they could humiliate her by bidding.
Finally, the price stopped at 5,523 taels of silver.
The one who made the bid was a wretched man. He didn't seem to think that the Gong family would allow someone to humiliate their family head.
He couldn't help but rub his hands together in a pleased manner. The way he looked at the carriage also had a hint of evil in his eyes.
It was said that the Gong Family's Patriarch had always been a beauty. This car was specially made for beauties, but now he …
He seemed to be certain that no one would snatch it from him anymore. He was overjoyed.
However, before Lu Feng announced the deal, a voice came from the second floor of the spectator stands.
"Rong Luyi, Chief Rong, looks like you're purposely making an enemy out of our Gong Family."
The voice was clear and cold. Although it was a woman, it didn't have the slightest softness that a woman should have.
Rong Luyi also revealed himself from his own spectator stand.
However, his expression didn't look too good. He was just enduring it.
"Miss Gong, why do you say that?"
"Good question. Everyone in the world knows that this carriage belongs to my Gong family. It's fine if you don't take the initiative to report to the authorities when a thief steals it. He even helped dispose of the stolen goods. What a joke. This is not an auction house. It should be called a den of thieves. "
Lin Mengya was not polite at all. Her harsh tone made Rong Luyi's face turn pale and then red.
In fact, from the very beginning, he didn't agree to use the carriage to humiliate the Rong family.
It was all because of Xu Yanqing's stubbornness. He even said that the Gong family was no longer what it used to be and no longer had the glory of the past.
A group of short-sighted people. No matter how poor the Gong family was, if they were forced into a corner, they wouldn't be able to do anything!
However, at this point, he couldn't easily retreat.
"Miss Gong, you're being unreasonable. The carriage was sent to the auction by someone else. We're just doing business. How would we know about these things? Instead of blaming us, Miss Gong, it's better to find the thief. "
Lin Mengya snorted coldly and angrily threw the teacup in her hand down.
Coincidentally, the teacup fell in front of the carriage.
With a splash, water and debris splashed out and soaked a small piece of ground in front of the carriage.
"Well, since you say that I'm being unreasonable, I won't argue with you about the past. Then I won't argue with you about the past. I just want to ask you, what should we do now? "
Rong Luyi had dealt with her before. It seemed that the people from the Gong family had already planned for her. Otherwise, how could she be so clever and cunning?
After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth expressionlessly.
"The auction house has its own rules. We're just acting according to the rules. Please forgive us, Miss Gong, and don't make things difficult for us. "
"Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you. You can buy it, but you follow your rules, and I'll follow my old rules. The Gong family has a rule. Anyone who disrespects the master of the family will be regarded as offending the entire Gong family. The Gong family will use all their strength to kill him! "
Before he finished speaking, two figures had already floated down from the spectator stands.
Gong San, dressed in black, and Gong Wu, dressed in white, one holding a knife and the other holding a sword. They looked like the Black and White Demons, standing in front of the carriage with cold faces.
Both of them were famous, and their illustrious reputation was enough to scare the guts out of those people.
Gong Er merely swept his gaze over the merchant who bid, and the latter's body immediately trembled non-stop. His mind also became much clearer.
He didn't have the support of any aristocratic family. If he was really targeted by the Gong family, he wouldn't be able to escape.
The group of people who were bidding happily just now all lowered their heads, for fear that the Gong family would bear a grudge against them.
Rong Luyi's face turned livid. She made it sound nice, but this was equivalent to breaking the rules of the Rong family.
Apart from resenting the Gong family, he hated Xu Yanqing even more.
That cunning old fox used his status as an elder to pressure him, so he had no choice but to agree.
Now, he was pretending to be a dead man.
Unfortunately, the Gong Clan was pestering him endlessly, making it so that no matter how he called out to them, there was no response.
Lin Mengya saw his reaction and knew that he must have hated the Xu family.
She sneered in her heart, but didn't show a trace of complacency on her face.
Instead, she looked straight at the man and continued to speak.
"We, the Gong family, are not unreasonable. How about this, you hand over the carriage thief, and the Gong family will take responsibility for this. What do you think? "
Before coming here, her fourth elder brother had secretly warned her.
Gong Zhe was extremely cunning, and these years he had the support of the Rong and Xu families. A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and no one knew where he was.
Moreover, he took out the carriage to auction, which showed that he really did his best for these families.
Since this was the case, she might as well force his old bosses to hand over the person.
To eradicate a tumor like Gong Zhe, she had to cut off the nutrients that he relied on to survive.
Today, she wanted everyone to understand that no one could protect the person the Gong family wanted to eradicate!
Rong Luyi's face twitched, and then he answered her coldly.
"Miss Gong, don't make things difficult for us. Catching the thief is the Gong family's business, and we are outsiders. How can we interfere? Moreover, the Rong family is just an auction house, not the Governor's Mansion. How can we care about this kind of thing? "
"Oh, really?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, and her smile was a little evil.
"Big brother, third brother, fourth brother, it's not that I didn't try my best, but that person didn't know how to appreciate kindness. Well, I'm also tired. Today, I'll leave it to you. No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with me. "
She turned around and smiled at her brothers, her face like a flower.
"You're a girl, and this kind of scene is indeed not suitable for you. Come, send Miss Gong back."
Gong Bin seemed to have been impatient for a long time, and they seemed to have reached some kind of agreement.
Rong Luyi didn't expect that Gong Ya would leave so decisively.
Furthermore, from what Gong Bin said, it seemed like they might cause trouble!
Just when he was about to say something tough, someone immediately ran in front of him.
"Master, bad news. There are many bandit leaders in the city, and there are many martial slaves guarding the gate outside! "
Rong Luyi finally understood that the Gong family didn't have any good intentions from the beginning.
No wonder the Gong family had bought hundreds of martial slaves in the past few days. They were preparing to cause trouble!
In his heart, he quickly made a decision.
Although the Gong family might not be able to gain the upper hand in a direct confrontation, they could still cause trouble without fear of punishment.
But he was different. If there was a mess at the auction, the people in his family would definitely take the opportunity to make things difficult for him.
Thinking of this, Rong Luyi made the wisest choice.
"Wait!"
Lin Mengya had just stood up, but after hearing Rong Luyi's words, she smiled and sat back down.
"Master Rong, what can I do for you?"
Her tone was full of mockery, and it made people unhappy.
But now was not the time to be angry.
"I can't say that I want to give you advice, but I don't want any misunderstanding between our families."
"Oh, why don't you tell us what misunderstanding we have?"
"That thief is indeed at the auction, but he was brought here by Master Xu, so it's not our place to make a decision."
This guy was really cunning!
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes.
"Master Xu, you were the one who brought him here, and you were the one who sold the carriage. Now that things have come to this, shouldn't you give us an explanation? "
How shameless!
Lin Mengya really admired Rong Luyi now.
What was the most important thing in business, of course, was to be shameless.
The Xu family's grandstand, which had been pretending to be dead, had now opened its beaded curtain.
Xu Yanqing gave Rong Luyi a cold stare, as if he was suffering from constipation.
"Young Rong, don't you think you're being unreasonable?"
