Upstairs, Li Zihang, who watched the entire fight, saw the ring covered in blood, broken limbs, and internal organs scattered all over the floor.

Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and started vomiting while holding the potted plant next to him.

When the old man saw the result he wanted, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

While patting Li Zihang on the back, he asked someone to bring him some tea to rinse his mouth and warm his stomach.

After the fight downstairs, the staff of the Crescent Hotel began to clean up the ring.

The staff who cleaned up the stumps and broken arms did not feel any discomfort, as if they were used to it.

He treated the broken arm like trash, picked it up with gloves on and threw it into a body bag.

The person who handled the body was even more outrageous. He just stuffed the body's intestines back into the bald man's stomach and then put it into a body bag.

The rest of the people wiped the blood off the ring.

Twenty minutes later, when everything was done, the auction continued.

After this period of time, Li Zihang upstairs recovered a little.

It's just that the bitter bile that was vomited out came out. His face was a little pale.

Jie Jiu tried to ease the atmosphere and change the subject.

"Master Li, I feel like Ma Yuangu offended Liu Dawai, and then he was plotted against, which led to this."

Li Zihang felt a little better and sat aside, listening to their conversation.

"Haha~"

The old man said with a wry smile.

"You read that right. The life and death cards now have a different flavor. They are more like a competition for settling private grudges."

"In the past, when there was a grudge, they would find a deserted place, and both sides would lay out their troops and fight a big battle."

"It's a new society now. It's not appropriate to use the old methods to resolve grudges."

"He took advantage of the rules of the life and death cards and deliberately fought with his enemies at the auction. Then he plotted against them."

"Make the other party sign a gambling agreement, betting their worth, betting their lives."

"In addition, both parties have made an agreement. They will directly hang up a life and death card at the auction to settle the grudge."

Li Zihang was a little confused when he heard this.

"This kind of thing happens so often that you're not afraid of it being exposed. Are you afraid of being held accountable by the government?"

The old man's expression changed so quickly.

When he spoke to Jie Jiu and the others, his tone was cold and his face was expressionless.

When talking to Li Zihang, he always had a smile on his face and his tone was gentle.

"My silly grandson, you haven't understood what I said before."

"Everyone who can enter the auction house is a well-known figure. They are all very wealthy and have a large family with many people, young and old."

"Whoever leaks this will face sanctions from everyone. If they don't want their family members to die, everyone will keep their mouth shut."

"Those who are barefoot and willing to sacrifice their lives to bring down the emperor cannot get involved in this circle."

"Neither will the auction house's review standards, post to them."

"Even if some idiot around you leaks the matter, it's okay. Someone will clean up the mess and push someone else out to take the blame."

"It's impossible for the government to clear out everyone. There are many second and third generations here."

"Everyone left is of vital importance. If we really clean them up, the whole society will be in turmoil, and the losses will be no less than a civil war."

Li Zihang's question was answered. Now he focused on watching the auction.

When an auction was about to end, Fairy Huo from the Nine Gates spoke.

"Master Li, we have discussed it. Jie Jiu and Gou Wu will go to Qiantang. I will stay."

The old man was playing with a fine purple clay teapot from the Ming Dynasty that he had just bought at the auction.

After hearing what Huo Xiangu said, she glanced at him, lowered her head and played with the purple clay teapot.

"Got it! I'll say hello to Qiantang, you guys just stay there peacefully."

"I have a yard here in Sijiu City. You can live there first. Things are arranged. You can go out for a walk again."

When Gou Wuye and his companions heard the old man's words, they hurriedly thanked him.

At the beginning of the day, the auction ended and the affairs of the Nine Gates were settled.

The old man returned to the mansion with his men and the items for auction.

On the other side, Huo Xiangu and the other two were discussing what had just happened in a guest room at the Crescent Hotel.

"Master Gou Wu, when are you two going to leave for Qiantang?"

Dog Master Wu, without the dog in his arms, it felt like something was missing. He said nothing.

Master Jie Jiu took over the conversation: "Master Gou Wu, can you please stop being so mean for a dog? It's already this late."

Master Gou Wu sighed and said, "Before I go back, I have to take care of Master Li's business."

"Huo Xiangu, go and notify the upper three gates and the lower three gates. Ask them to send all the items related to the enlarged items in the tomb to the capital. Then Huo Xiangu will stay here to receive them."

"Jie Jiu and I will finish the remaining matters and go to Qiantang immediately."

Jie Jiu thought for a while and said, "Enlarged stone carvings, tombstones and other things. There are very few of them in the entire Jiumen."

"When we fought, we only wanted the treasure. Who would want to expand those things?"

"I estimate there are only a few in the entire Nine Gates."

Huo Xiangu: "What should we do? We all depend on Master Li for our survival."

"No matter what Master Li wants those things for! We should all show some sincerity."

Master Gou Wu thought for a while and said, "Let the old man at home go to those overturned buckets and make new enlargements and take photos."

"Anyway, Master Buddha has already cleaned up all the members of the Nine Sects and the outside world. This can be considered as giving those people an explanation."

"If anyone really asks, we will tell them what Master Li said. I wonder who dares to make things difficult for us."

Jie Jiu: "That's fine, but there are some fights and it's still quite dangerous. I guess we'll lose some people."

Dog Fifth Master: "It's already this time. For the sake of our future generations and our safety, it's worth it if some people die."

"That's it~"

Li family.

North room, study.

The old man listened to his grandson's words.

He also looked at the monk's robes with suspicion.

He took a pair of scissors and carefully removed the stitching on the robe.

I also cut off the threads of a few buttons.

After everything was ready, spread the robes on the floor tiles of the study.

The entire appearance of the robe appeared before my eyes.

The woven gold Dharani Sutra quilt is about three meters square, with a bright yellow satin base and many Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues, pagodas, patterns and other decorations woven on the quilt. It has both the sacredness of Buddhism and the majesty of the royal family.

The Dharani Sutra Blanket has dozens of mantras and secret spells of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, as well as the names of merits and virtues of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Vajrapani written in Sanskrit.

I measured it with a ruler and found that the quilt was 274 cm wide and 280 cm long.

On the quilt, various decorations are sewn and inlaid with gold threads like buttons. Corals, rhinoceros horns, square beads, precious beads, ruyi, ancient coins, gold ingots, silver ingots, and a dazzling array of things are hung on the back.

The Dharani Sutra quilt has dozens of vajra embroidered around the quilt cover.

Li Zihang and the old man knelt on one side, lowering their heads and studying the Tuoluo Sutra Quilt.

It wasn't until grandma came in and saw the posture of the grandfather and grandson that she laughed out loud.

"What are you two doing? Lying on the ground like toads."

Hearing the voice, the grandfather and grandson looked up at her together.

This scene made grandma laugh again.

The old man rolled his eyes at his wife.

"What do women know~"

"I'm telling you, man, I brought another treasure home today."

Grandma's curiosity was also aroused by these words.

He asked quickly, "What treasure? The dirty quilt on the floor?"

The old man explained.

"What do you know? This is the burial quilt of the emperor after his death."

"It is made of the finest silk and antelope wool. Various eminent monks have written down the scriptures themselves. They are then embroidered by embroiderers, who weave and forge them with gold. Dozens of eminent monks chant the scriptures day and night. Various gemstone decorations are sewn on top."

"The most precious treasure among treasures. Ordinary people can never even dream of seeing it in their lifetime. And you think it's dirty."

When grandma heard that it was a shroud, she immediately became even more disgusted.

He stood up and fanned his hands as if to drive away something dirty.

"No matter how good it is, it's just a shroud. It's unlucky."

"Grandson, come here quickly. Don't let the dirt stick to you."

When the old man heard what his wife said, his brain suddenly seemed to react.

"Yes~ No matter how precious it is, it's just a shroud."

Because the quilt was made into a monk's robe by a high monk, there was still some dirt on it.

The old man thought he had to find someone to clean it up.

The finest silk and antelope wool woven cloth. They can't be washed with water at all, just rubbed by hand.

It can only be cleaned by professionals using special techniques.

Just like the dragon robe, it is usually used and worn. When it gets dirty, it is replaced with a new one.

There is no such thing as washing.

Old man, carefully fold the Tuo Luo Sutra quilt, wrap it in cotton cloth, and put it in the brocade box.

Then he sent his grandson away and started chatting with his wife in the study.

After chatting for a while, the old man went to the backyard to discuss something with Grandpa Ju.

The backyard has two floors of living room, just like a modern duplex apartment.

The layout is two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom.

living room,

The old man started communicating with Ju Ye.

"Brother, I took Xiaohang to watch a few fights today. They were a bit bloody though."

"But Xiaohang's performance was a little disappointing. He wasn't ruthless enough, and his courage was far less than expected."

"Think of a way to discipline her."

Ju Ye said after thinking for a moment.

"That's easy. Find him a job as a butcher. Specialize in killing cows, sheep, and pigs. After a year of hard work, I guarantee he won't be afraid of blood."

"The eleventh ancestor has faith. He ran to the Dongyue Temple and became a Taoist priest."

"After a year, let the eleventh ancestor take him out to explore, go hunting in the mountains, and do some justice work. Kill a few bandits when you have nothing to do."

"Two years at most. Don't say he's bloodless. I'm afraid he's too bloody."

"You will have a headache when the time comes, how to sheath the sword"

The old man thought for a while.

"No matter what, being brave is better than being soft-hearted. Our family is not comparable to ordinary families."

"Without going through the baptism of blood, mercy and softness will not accomplish anything."
