Look at Liu Yuanhui again.

Everyone came to the lotus garden behind Huayuan Pavilion. Bailey was already waiting in the pavilion in the garden for a long time.

Liu Yuanhui walked up to the pavilion. There was a pile of scrolls on the table in the pavilion. Bailey sat beside him with a roster in front of him.

Liu Yuanhui turned around and said to everyone: "Oh! Originally, Mr. Zhao Youliang and Mr. Zhao were going to attend! But King Yan returned to the palace the day before yesterday, and Mr. Zhao had to stay at home with King Yan! Unfortunately, he could not attend!" Liu Yuanhui shook his head and pretended to have a helpless expression.

"What? King Yan has come back? Then hurry up and start selling paintings, Mr. Liu!" After hearing the news, everyone could no longer hold back and stepped forward to buy Zhao Youliang's paintings.

"No worries, gentlemen! My Excellency Liu Yuanhui, let me tell you the rules of buying paintings first! Because Mr. Zhao's original works are limited, the shop spent a lot of money to buy them, so each painting is priced at three hundred taels. ! Never negotiate! I wonder what you guys think?" Liu Yuanhui said.

Everyone present was a well-known and wealthy businessman from Bianliang, and they all came here with the same purpose, to bribe Zhao Youliang's father, King Zhao Yu of Yan, in a roundabout way.

For this kind of pediatric painting, in itself, the price of three hundred taels is a sky-high price!

But to these people, is three hundred taels expensive?

Spending three hundred taels to buy a worry-free future couldn't be cheaper!

Everyone expressed no objection.

"Okay! I spent a lot of money to collect more than a dozen of Mr. Zhao's paintings, but I can't share them equally with you! So I will show you Mr. Zhao's paintings one by one. Don't fight if you come across a work that you all like. The starting price is three hundred taels! You can increase the price at will, and the one with the highest price will win!"

"That's it!" said everyone in the pavilion, everyone was determined to win.

"Okay! After everyone bids, Yuanhui will shout three times with a hammer. After three times, if no one raises the price, the hammer will drop! After the hammer drops, any additional bids will be invalid! This hammer..." Liu Yuanhui was stunned when he saw the hammer on the table. Speechless.

I saw a crooked carrot on the table with a chopstick stuck on the side.

"Is this the hammer you prepared for me?" Liu Yuanhui asked Bailey in a low voice.

"Master, you told me so late yesterday. I tried my best but couldn't find it. I got this from the Yutangzhai kitchen. You can use it as you like!" Bailey said.

"Young Master Liu! There is no need to say more. The one with the highest price will get it when the hammer falls! We understand!" said a wealthy businessman under the pavilion.

"Okay! Since we are all rich and noble people! So feel free to increase the price! There is no cap! Also, everyone who finally buys the painting needs to leave their name and address!" Liu Yuanhui said.

Everyone in the audience started talking.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yuanhui said: "Don't think too much, everyone! I have prepared a roster! I plan to record everyone's names, addresses, and the amount of silver paid to buy the paintings, and then hand them over to Mr. Zhao Youliang and Mr. Zhao. In the future, Mr. Zhao must have someone to thank you for. Directions!”

Everyone thought, in this case, they no longer need to rely on connections to tell Zhao Youliang that they bought his paintings, and also let Zhao Youliang remember this, wouldn't it save trouble?

"Very good, very good! Mr. Liu! I will do as you say!" everyone said.

"Okay! Then I announce! The auction of Mr. Zhao's authentic works will now officially begin!"

"Boom!"

The hammer made of carrot heads hit the table.

Then Liu Yuanhui unfolded a painting on the table.

"This "Picture of Outer Suburbs" was made by Mr. Zhao when he was traveling with the current sage! It is said that he was personally guided by the sage! The starting price is three hundred taels!"

Liu Yuanhui held a very rough painting in his hand and introduced it.

"I'll pay three hundred and fifty taels!"

"I'll pay four hundred taels!"

"I'll pay five hundred taels!"

These rich men were shouting at each other, their faces were red and their ears were red, and they were gnashing their teeth.

"I'll pay eight hundred taels!"

Li Cai shouted loudly, and then he gasped and glanced at everyone with wide eyes.

Everyone clenched their fists and bared their teeth, remaining silent.

"Eight hundred taels once! Eight hundred taels twice! Eight hundred taels three times! Deal!" Liu Yuanhui said and the hammer fell!

"Congratulations to this noble man! Then please introduce yourself!" Liu Yuanhui rolled up the piece of garbage and said with a smile.

"I am the shopkeeper of Li's Bank on East Street! Big Li Cai!"

Li Cai said loudly and took Zhao Youliang's painting with both hands.

Bailey was immediately recorded on the roster.

Next to the list is the list of profiteers who went to Yichun Court that day compiled by Master Li. Bailey took note of it and compared it.

"Young master, this man is indeed the shopkeeper of the East Street Bank. He usually lends money to the poor at high interest rates. If the poor can't pay back, he will swallow up the poor's property. It's very abominable!" Bailey said to Liu Yuanhui.

Liu Yuanhui nodded, and then unfolded another painting.

"Oh! This painting is amazing!" Liu Yuanhui said loudly: "This "Anle Picture" records the scene of Zhao Gongzi playing with King Yan when he was a child. It is said that King Yan admired this painting very much! The starting price is three One hundred taels!"

Everyone looked towards the painting.

In the painting, King Yan looked like an evil ghost, while Zhao Youliang beneath his knees was covered in hair, like a wild boar cub.

"No matter how Zhao Youliang paints himself, he can look like this!" Liu Yuanhui thought to himself.

"Oh! Mr. Zhao in the painting has thin skin and tender flesh, he is smart and cute, and King Yan's tall and straight figure is lifelike! I, Zhang Fa, am overjoyed with five hundred taels!" said Boss Zhang, who runs a drugstore.

"I'll pay five hundred and fifty taels!"

"I'll pay you seven hundred taels!"

"I'll pay eight hundred and fifty taels!"

In the end, Zhang Faxi was the first to bid and got the piece of "junk."

"Master, this fat man Zhang Faxi opened a medicine shop in Bianliang. He had more than a dozen semicolons. He sold good medicines to the rich and poor, and sold low-quality medicines to the poor. He even drank people to death!" Bailey said.

"very good!"

Liu Yuanhui then took out another picture...

An hour later.

All the wealthy businessmen under the pavilion already had a piece of Zhao Youliang's "junk" in their hands.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yuanhui took out another painting.
