Chapter 1119 Idle People of the Song Dynasty 38
The three people did not stay in Dragon Palace for long.

Although the Dragon Palace is glittering and magnificent, it is too dazzling and will dazzle your eyes if you stay there for too long.

Moreover, apart from watching the clam girls dancing, there is no other entertainment in the Dragon Palace.

Bai Yuting couldn't help but feel sympathy for these guys in the Dragon Palace.

So before leaving, the three of them left behind all the game props they had with them, including playing cards, Monopoly, checkers, and mahjong.

The Dragon King was very interested in these games.

After Liu Shu and the other two taught him how to play, he became addicted to it.

so fun!

If he had known that there were such interesting things in the world, he would have sent someone to buy them long ago.

You won’t have to doze off to the clam girl’s dance all day long.

The Dragon Clan has since been reduced to a game hall.

They hold gaming competitions every once in a while.

Landlord game, Mahjong game, Tractor game, Blackjack game, Monopoly game...

Life is becoming more and more interesting!
On the Xiankong Island, the four rats woke up one day and suddenly heard their servants report that many seafood that can only be found in the sea suddenly appeared on their island. They were surprised and confused.

It was not until Lu Fang found the note pressed by a tuna that he understood what was going on.

My fifth brother is now so powerful that he even went to visit the Dragon Palace under the sea and asked the Dragon King to send him gifts.

They also benefited from it!

There is so much seafood, I don’t know how long it will take to finish eating it.

It will go bad if kept for too long, so give some away quickly.

The Bai family in Jinhua Prefecture must send some gifts, and Dingjiazhuang should also send some.

It’s a pity that Kaifeng is too far away, and we can’t send it to Mr. Bao, Mr. Gongsun and Guard Zhan.

Let’s not talk about how the four rat leaders of Xiankong Island, Dadi, are dealing with the seafood problem, and let’s talk about Liu Shu’s side.

The three people left Donghai and came directly to Kaifeng.

They came to deliver seafood to Mr. Bao, Mr. Gongsun and Zhan Zhao.

Thanks to them, everyone in Kaifeng Prefecture had a seafood feast for three consecutive days.

Everyone has lost interest in seafood after eating it.

Zhan Zhao is very busy. Xiangguo Temple is holding a temple fair soon, and security work is very important.

Zhan Zhao brought the yamen runners from Kaifeng Prefecture to maintain order and provide security there.

Liu Shu and the other two ran over to join in the fun.

There were a lot of people coming to the temple fair, and there were many stalls set up on the open space outside Xiangguo Temple, selling various things and food.

A large platform was built in one of the vacant lots, and it was said that an auction would be held there.

Many powerful and wealthy people took seats near the stage.

Liu Shu and others arrived late and there were no empty seats for them, so the three of them could only stand on the periphery.

Near noon, the auction began.

The items at the auction were all valuable and ordinary people couldn't afford them. These items were useless to the three of them, and they were just there to watch the fun.

"The next item is called a mother-of-pearl fire cabinet. There are only three items shipped from Jiangnan at this time. Two of them, one is in the palace, and the other is in the residence of Grand Tutor Pang. As long as you get the remaining one, you will enjoy the same enjoyment as the emperor and Grand Tutor Pang. What are you waiting for?"

The host enthusiastically promoted the product on the stage, sparking everyone's interest in the fire cabinet.

The guests below began to bid actively.

The original owner of the fire cabinet flushed with excitement when he heard each offer.

Liu Shu saw the original owner of the fire cabinet and said, "It's only been a short time, and this person has become so weak."

Bai Yutang said disdainfully: "You don't know how to control yourself, you deserve it."

Guan Ruoxu shook his head and looked down on Yang Shiyi.

When the three of them were on the boat, they could tell that Yang Shiyi was a drunkard and a womanizer, but after only half a month, this man looked pale and in much poorer health.

They couldn’t understand it. Aren’t there more beautiful women in Jiangnan than in Beijing?

In the end, the fire cabinet was sold to a wealthy businessman for five thousand strings of cash.

After receiving the money, Yang Shiyi immediately left Xiangguo Temple and ran to the brothel.

Liu Shu stared at the goods that had just been put on the auction table, interest rising in his eyes.

This is a courtyard ornament that is made to look lifelike, as if the Grand View Garden in Dream of the Red Chamber was scaled down and put up for auction.

This ornament is made very delicately and beautifully. People who see it can't help but admire it and become interested in it.

The host spoke eloquently and endlessly, introducing the advantages of this ornament and trying his best to sell it to everyone.

More people were tempted and wanted to take a picture of this item.

However, someone who knows something about the ornaments revealed the truth about them.

"Isn't this the cursed ornament?"

The person next to him asked curiously: "Cursed? How is it cursed?"

The man said, "The name of this ornament is Jiqingyuan. A wealthy man asked a craftsman to make it according to the layout of his own home, so that his daughter who married far away could express her longing for home. He wanted to make it as a dowry for his daughter. Later, the daughter's family encountered bandits and were wiped out. All the valuable things in the house were stolen by the robbers..."

Having said this, the man stopped talking.

Someone nearby couldn't help but urge: "What's going on behind? What's going on?"

It turned out that not only that man’s friends, but the others sitting nearby also pricked up their ears to listen to his “storytelling”.

The man: "What's the hurry? Let me drink some water."

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued, "Such a big tragedy happened, the government naturally wanted to suppress the bandits. But when the government officials found the gang's base camp, they found that all the bandits were gone. The government thought that the bandits got the news of the suppression and ran away first. They moved all the things in the bandit's lair back, including that kind of decoration."

That person: "All the things that had owners were returned to their owners. For example, the government dealt with the daughter's family members who had all died. It is said that the decorations were seen by the wife of the prefect, who took them to her own yard to decorate them. As a result, a month later, everyone in the prefect's wife's yard, including the prefect's wife, disappeared. The prefect asked people to look for his wife, but they could not find her no matter what they did."

"At that time, no one thought that the disappearance of the prefect's wife was related to the ornament. The prefect gave the ornament to one of his beloved concubines. Not long after, the concubine and her personal maid also disappeared."

"The prefect was terrified and thought it was caused by ghosts, so he invited monks and Taoist priests to perform rituals. But those monks and Taoist priests were incompetent and could not find anything unusual about the ornaments."

"Later, the prefect was so frightened that he fell ill and was unable to manage the affairs of the mansion. So a servant stole the ornaments and pawned them for silver."

"As a result, disappearances also occurred in that pawnshop. A powerful detective investigated and found that there were ornaments in these disappearances. So some people wanted to destroy the ornaments, but no matter what method they used, they could not destroy the ornaments at all. There was no other choice, so they could only seal up the ornaments and bury them deep in the mountains..."

That person: "I don't know where the people from the auction house dug this ornament out from?"
