This is actually not surprising. How many businessmen are really unruly and ready to face death?

"Elder?"

For this matter, the Zhang family specially dispatched an elder; Zhang Dongsheng, who was the person in charge of this matter.

"Didn't the old man say that? Don't leave any one alive..."

"Dad...Dad..."

In all revenge dramas, when the father is killed, the daughter will definitely see it with her own eyes; the moment when Yin Yongquan’s throat was cut was also seen clearly by his daughter Yin Xinyue.

"Xinyue...run..."

Yin Yongquan left these last words before he finally died.

"Miss, please go!"

"Fight with them..."

The Yin family still has loyal servants, and they are willing to use their own lives to buy a way out for Yin Xinyue.

Chapter 436 Auction

"Zhang family from the Northeast, it's you scoundrels again, kill them..."

According to Li Chengqian's script, the meteorite bronze could be taken by the Zhang family, but it couldn't be too easy, so at the last minute, executive director Wu Zhu arrived with extras from the demon-hunting team.

"Wuzhu, you living dead man, today I will avenge Lao San..."

The Zhang family was well-informed and after many dealings with Wuzhu, they also noticed that he was different; however, due to the limitations of the times, they thought of Wuzhu as a living dead.

"You are just a piece of shit, everyone can brag, just leave your life behind..."

When the Xueyin Sword came out, although Wuzhu's sword energy did not have a twenty-meter-long sword energy, he was still able to kill anyone who stood in his way; the scene of bullying appeared again, but the roles were swapped.

After just one encounter, a long wound was left on Zhang Dongsheng's neck. If his men had not covered him and allowed Wu Zhu to retreat half a step, that knife would have taken his life.

"Elder, you go first, we will cover your rear..."

"Okay, be careful."

The older you are in the world, the less courageous you become. This is truly a true saying.

Next, with Wu Zhu's deliberate release, Zhang Dongsheng finally escaped; but all the members of the Northeast Zhang family he brought with him died at the hands of the Demon-Extermination Team and Wu Zhu.

...............

"Since the stuff has been handed over to your Crescent Hotel, you should be responsible for its safety. We have done our utmost to help kill those thieves."

Wu Zhu doesn't like dealing with people, so he gave the task to his subordinate Tang Xinhua.

"Fifth lieutenant, our master lost his life because of the things you consigned, leaving the young lady alone and helpless. You want to discuss this matter now, isn't it too inhumane..."

A gentleman bullies someone with his own tricks. Wuzhu has a handsome face, so Lai Fu, the manager of the Crescent Hotel, bullies him by treating him as a gentleman.

"Do you know why that group of people didn't dare to take action when the thing was in our hands?

Because we are more fierce and cruel than them."

Wuzhu doesn't talk much, but the threat he conveys is evident in his words.

“Uncle Fu, the auction in three days will go on as usual.

Don't worry, Fifth Lieutenant. It is only natural to pay back debts. You handed the things to us at the Crescent Hotel. Now that they are lost, we will definitely give you an explanation.

Three days later, my Crescent Hotel will light a sky lantern and buy the lost meteorite copper at the highest price. "

Yin Xinyue was only 16 years old at this time, but she had already grown into a powerful figure; she did not remain silent in the sorrow of her father's death, but stood up and expressed her position as the new generation head of Xinyue Hotel.

"Very good, your Crescent Hotel really did not disappoint the warlord. We'll see you in three days."

"Wait... Fifth Lieutenant, I have another unwelcome request... I would like you and your men to be responsible for the security of my Crescent Hotel for the next three days, and even on the day of the auction."

Everything that happened today made Yin Xinyue realize clearly that the Xinyue Hotel was not as solid as she had imagined. She was afraid that the Zhang family would come back. Without Wuzhu and his men to help, wouldn't the Yin family be like meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others?

"The Crescent Hotel has deep roots in Peking. Do we still need to worry about safety issues?"

"The lesson from the past is right in front of us, Xinyue dare not be careless; Fifth Deputy also doesn't want anything to go wrong at the auction in three days, right?"

At the same time that Yin Yongquan died under Zhang Dongsheng's knife, the innocent Yin Xinyue died. The one who survived was the mature and steady new head of the Xinyue Hotel.

"I don't like unnecessary trouble. Tonight, we will stay to protect your safety. However, we will consult the Overseer before making a decision on the next security work."

He does not make decisions on his own and always consults his superiors before making any decisions. As a tool, Wuzhu is absolutely qualified.

...............

"The owner of the Xinyue Hotel was killed, and the current head of the family is his orphan daughter Yin Xinyue?"

Field battle... If not camping, it would have been noon the next day when we returned. It was also at this time that Li Chengqian received a call from Wuzhu who was far away in Peking.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

Li Chengqian didn't expect that his little plan would lead to such a change; but after this incident, Zhang Qishan and Yin Xinyue might have no future, right?

"After all, this incident was caused by me. You will all stay at the Crescent Hotel for the next few days to protect their safety until they leave Peking."

double gain

It would be a lie to say that he didn't have such an idea, but the more it was at this time and in this situation, the more he couldn't be too proactive. Li Chengqian decided to take a long-term view.

…………

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

After Yin Yongquan's death, some people had their eyes on the Xinyue Hotel. Relying on the intricate network of relationships and the powerful deterrent force of the Wuzhu Demon-Exterminating Team, Yin Xinyue was able to support the family business in a short period of time.

It has long been said that there is no army without Xiang; but Wuzhu and the Demon-Slaying Team have refreshed the Chinese people's understanding of this saying with their performance in the past three days.

Japanese ninjas, military agents, civilian experts, Taoist masters...all those who wanted to take advantage of the Crescent Hotel to rob it never returned.

The reputation of the Grim Yama, the Soul Summoning Troops, Wuzhu and the Demon-Exterminating Team was known throughout the entire city of Beiping.

Three days later, Yin Yongquan was buried, and the auction at the Crescent Hotel went on as scheduled.

The world is bustling with people all because of the pursuit of profit; the world is bustling with people all because of the pursuit of profit; seeing that Yin Xinyue has kept the family business, the Xinyue Hotel, which had been deserted before, began to be full of guests again.

"Dear guests, the auction is about to begin. Please keep quiet during the auction. We have prepared photos of the auction items for your reference only... The rules of our auction are that the minimum bid is 50,000 each time, and there is no upper limit. You'd better watch out. If you miss it, there will be no next time."

As the auctioneer introduced, the first item, a gold artifact full of Western style, began to sell.

"Brother, what is this?"

"Yes, it is indeed from the Jingjue Kingdom in the Western Regions. It seems that Li Chengqian really dug up the tomb of the Queen of Jingjue. Maybe what our Banshan clan has been looking for is in his hands."

There was promotion before the auction started. It was because Partridge Whistle saw the photos in the promotional brochure that he tried his best to get a business card and participate in the auction of the Xingyue Hotel.

"Brother, did you say that we might see the Zhuchen Pearl among the items for auction later?"

In the world of Ghost Blows Out the Light, among the three masters, Fa Qiu, Mo Jin, Ban Shan, and Xi Ling, it may be difficult to say who is the most powerful, but if we have to say who is the most pathetic, it must be Ban Shan.

The Banshan sect, because of the curse of the ghost cave, has gone to the tomb for generations to search for the legendary Zhuochen Pearl, resulting in countless deaths and injuries; but even in hell, there are still people who turn their hearts towards light, and Hua Ling is one of them.

Chapter 437 Lighting Sky Lanterns

Li Chengqian was not that impressive when it came to bidding for the Zhuochen Pearl; the Huo sisters were very well behaved, and after he gained the three achievements from them, he felt that they were a bit mediocre, so he injected a quarter of the phoenix blood he got from Xu Fu into their bodies.

I originally thought that they might need the help of the Fountain of Life, but I didn't expect that the two people's bodies were highly compatible with the Phoenix Blood and absorbed everything perfectly.

He had already given the phoenix blood, so he also had the Zhuchen Pearl, which was known as the phoenix's gall. As luck would have it, he also drew a martial arts book called the Phoenix Immortality Method from the system's lucky bag.

With these things, Huo Jinxi and Huo Jinlian have completely embarked on their extraordinary journey.

At this point, none of Li Chengqian's six concubines were ordinary people.

Ren Zhuzhu?

Like Ren Tingting, she also experienced blood revival and similar atavism after practicing dual cultivation with Li Chengqian many times.

Xiu Yuqing explained that using corpse pills as nutrients, Li Chengqian planned to let the sisters evolve into perfect Western vampires.

…………

"Dear guests, the first round of this auction ends here. Please take a break. The second round of auction will begin soon."

In today's society, there is a 28th law, which states that 80% of the wealth is in the hands of 20% of the people; this is seen by most people as a polarization between the rich and the poor.

But in today's world, in this special period, this number is much more exaggerated than the 80/20 rule.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

This is the most true portrayal.

2000 million taels of silver

The transaction amount reached this value in the first round of auction alone.

...............

“Miss, are we really going to light sky lanterns later?

Also, shouldn't you be more cautious about your lifelong event? You asked the fifth lieutenant to pass the message to Governor Li in Xingcheng, but that's a codeword. What if the other party doesn't understand what you mean? "

Lai Fu watched Yin Xinyue grow up, and he saw the decision she made and was worried about it.

“The sky lanterns must be lit, as it concerns the reputation of the Crescent Hotel and my father’s reputation after his death;

As for the rest, Uncle Fu, don’t you understand it yet?

As long as I want to keep the Crescent Hotel and avenge my father, I have no choice.

All I can ask for is for Li Chengqian to treat me with dignity."

"But if it weren't for Li Chengqian's batch of goods, the master would not have died, and the Crescent Hotel would not have fallen into the current predicament."

Lai Fu, the butler of the Crescent Hotel, has always been suspicious of the role Li Chengqian played in this incident. He wondered if he was the real mastermind behind it.

"If he planned or masterminded this, I will kill him with my own hands..."

Whether using his power to take revenge or seeking revenge on him, becoming Li Chengqian's woman is the best choice for Yin Xinyue at the moment.

…………

"Dear guests, the second round of this auction begins now. The first treasure we are going to bid on is a medicinal herb called Blood Bodhi. The starting price is 50 taels of silver. The bidding begins now..."

Blood Bodhi is not more precious than deer grass, blue snake gall, and Qilin blood, so asking for this price is not excessive, right?

"The holy medicine for healing, Blood Bodhi, isn't that Li Chengqian's treasure? I heard that there are only five of them in the world, and he actually put it up for auction. It seems that the last earthquake in Star City really caused him to suffer heavy losses..."

"It is said that Mr. Cai was brought back to life after taking a blood bodhi. It is worth a life."

As everyone was talking, the auction bells rang one after another. After about two or three minutes, someone became impatient.

"Light the lamp..."

"This is lighting a sky lantern. Lord Beile is indeed very wealthy."

Although the remnants of the Qing Dynasty no longer have power, their pockets are still full.

Because of the attack by the Japanese ninja, the Crescent Hotel did not send an invitation to the Japanese Chamber of Commerce; without this troublemaker, there would be no famous scene of the lantern fight.

"Let us congratulate Lord Beile for winning the first treasure of the second round of bidding, the Blood Bodhi. Next, I will introduce the second item."

It is common sense that treasures tend to be more valuable and precious towards the end of an auction; therefore, everyone present became interested in the brocade box in the auctioneer's hand.

"What's inside is something from outer space, we can call it meteorite copper. It's said that if you can figure out its wonderful uses, you'll have unparalleled power. Its starting price is 100 million taels of silver, and the bidding starts now."

The auctioneer was holding the Yin family's livelihood. Not only did she know that the brocade box was empty, she also knew that her eldest daughter was going to light a sky lantern for the empty box.

In this case, not to mention that she didn't know the mystery of the meteorite copper, even if she did, she wouldn't give a detailed introduction.

"Light up"

Lighting the sky lanterns was the instruction given by the Xinyue Hotel to the Hunan Provincial Military Governor's Office, and Yin Xinyue had already made a decision in her mind.

"Light up"

"Lighting Sky Lanterns"

In the past, people at the Crescent Hotel would laugh out loud when they saw someone lighting a sky lantern, but now they act as if their mother has died.

They are just middlemen who get commission from sales, and only a small portion of the money raised from the auction goes into their pockets.
