Chapter 129 Convergence
Not only Qingyi, the deputy envoy upstairs also stared at Jiang Guangbai and Zhang Ping, and apart from ordering the people below to keep a close eye on them, he didn't say anything else.
In their view, as long as the transaction can be completed and they can get the money, they make a profit, which is enough and they don’t care about anything else.
Of course, there is another very important point, that is, make sure that no lackeys of the imperial court have sneaked in.
Even if it is, since they have sneaked in, the silver they spit out will be theirs, and they will never hand it back.
There are a total of 48 slaves in Mingyue Tower's auction tonight, including 12 low-class slaves, 18 middle-class slaves, and 18 high-class slaves.
Fei Si and his group of people who knew martial arts were among the lower-ranking servants. Apart from them, all twelve of them knew martial arts.
Among the middle-class slaves, each one has a talent and is one hundred taels more expensive than the lower-class slaves, with a starting price of one hundred and fifty taels.
At this time, Qin Chaoyan had already sneaked in. If the deputy envoy had not been watching from upstairs, she could have used the magic of grafting to replace all the buyers in the venue with her fake paper figurines.
In order to prevent the information from being leaked too early, Qin Chaoyan just walked to Wei Chu's side. Along the way, he passed the information to Jiang Guangbai and Zhang Ping, changing seven people.
In this way, all the middle-level slaves were bought by them.
All the silver bills tonight were paid for by Qin Chaoyan. They are "fake" silver bills. After tonight, the talisman paper attached to them will become invalid and the silver bills will become waste paper.
Therefore, they spent a lot of money without feeling any regret at all.
It is also because of their generous payment behavior that people do not suspect them.
Before setting off, Wei Chu and Qin Chaoyan agreed that if they could get the abducted people out first without alerting the Dark Moon Sect, that would be the safest and most appropriate way.
Soon, only the last batch of eighteen high-quality slaves, escorted by six Dark Moon Cult masters, remained on the auction table.
Among the top servants, there were talented women who could sing and dance, child prodigies who could write and compose poetry at a young age, and students who were well-versed in classics...
"There are eighteen high-quality slaves in total. The starting price for each one is one thousand taels!"
"One thousand taels each? Is this too expensive?"
"How come this is more expensive than last time? Wasn't the last top-class servant only eight hundred taels?"
"Yes, it's only been a month. We have money but we won't let you lead us around like this."
"Yes, one thousand taels this month, so next month it will be one thousand two hundred taels, right?"
The buyers around were furious about the price increase at Mingyue Tower and they all demanded that Qingyi give an explanation.
The man in blue smiled, but turned around and threw a teacup at the middle-aged wealthy businessman who was making the most trouble, hitting him right on the forehead and causing bleeding.
The figure of the middle-aged wealthy businessman swayed, and the people around him dispersed at once, and the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.
Qing Yi said: "Everyone, if you want to buy, buy it. If you don't want to buy, just watch. We in Mingyue Tower are not forcing you to buy or sell!"
He pushed Jiang Yuandao out and continued introducing him.
"Although this old man is old, he is full of knowledge. He can write poems and songs, and can also teach children to read and write. Having him is like having an obedient and famous teacher at home."
"Starting price: one thousand taels."
The deputy envoy on the second floor stared downstairs with frowns, and muttered, "Something is wrong."
"Something's wrong!"
Yes, when the argument was so heated just now, those people who bought slaves from them did not even join in the argument.
Also, at some point, those seven or eight people stood together, and the thirty servants also stood in a row.
wrong! ! !
The deputy envoy's eyes were fixed on Jiang Guangbai. This man, this...
He tried hard to recall it, and it seemed a little familiar.
The deputy envoy's gaze fell on Jiang Yuandao on the stage again. These teachers and students from Yingtian Academy were brought here by them by accident.
correct!
Yingtian Academy!
The deputy envoy's gaze became as vicious as a poisonous snake. Jiang Guangbai below trembled unconsciously, and he met the deputy envoy's eyes.
"what!"
Jiang Guangbai was frightened by the sinister look and shouted loudly. The scene was so quiet that his shout was abrupt.
In addition, he was so scared that he hid behind Wei Chu.
Looking at those eyes, the deputy envoy first recognized Wei Chu's identity, and then recognized Jiang Guangbai as the teacher who was stabbed to death.
He exerted force with his palm and broke the railing he was holding onto.
The deputy envoy remembered Wei Chu's eyes and facial features deeply.
Because the previous deputy envoy was his half-brother.
Only the two of them knew about this matter. They had a good relationship in private, but never showed it in front of others.
After learning the news of his brother's death and knowing that Wei Chu was the enemy who killed his brother, the current deputy envoy memorized his portrait firmly in his mind, so that when he met this enemy, he could recognize this enemy, kill him and avenge his brother!
"Wei Chu! Give me your life!" The deputy envoy jumped down from the building and ran straight towards Wei Chu.
He shouted, "Everyone of the Dark Moon Cult, there are hyenas from the imperial court here. Kill them today to avenge our dead brothers and contribute to the great cause of the Master!"
"kill!"
Wei Chu pushed Jiang Guangbai towards Qin Chaoyan and said, "I'm counting on you!"
"rest assured!"
Qin Chaoyan grabbed Jiang Guangbai's collar as he was still standing firm, waved his hand, and took him away along with the thirty people behind him who were hit by the Burning Soul, and disappeared in front of everyone.
When the deputy envoy saw this, his eyes almost turned red with anger.
"Kill! Kill everyone here! Kill them all!"
"kill!"
“Please spare my life!”
The fight was about to break out, and the Mingyue Tower suddenly became chaotic, with the flash of knives, the shadow of swords, and the sound of flesh being pierced...
Jiang Yuandao on the stage rolled his eyes and joined the battle.
Qin Chaoyan brought Jiang Guangbai and his party to the inn opposite Mingyue Tower, to a room they had already booked.
With more than thirty people crammed into the room, it became so crowded that it was almost impossible to stand.
"Awu, Lin'an, quickly help them detoxify."
"I will go over and bring the old man and the others here now. After we remove the poison, we will leave the city and meet up with everyone at the ruined temple."
"Yes, Master."
"Master, be careful."
Qin Chaoyan nodded and returned to Mingyue Tower. The scene was even more chaotic than when she left.
Seeing that Jiang Yuandao had also joined the battle, Qin Chaoyan was a little worried.
"Mr. Jiang, are you okay?"
"Bang!" Jiang Yuandao knocked out a few more people. He said, "Take them away first. Don't worry. I can still fight."
"Okay." Without any hesitation, she led Qi Ming and his group and disappeared.
"Idiot!" The deputy envoy shouted at Qingyi, "Those people ran away, call them back for me!"
"Yes, Deputy Envoy."
Just at this time, Chen Bing also waited outside the city until the appointed time and rushed in with a hundred elite soldiers.
