Chapter 219 Let's Go
"Five thousand taels of silver once, five thousand taels of silver twice, five thousand taels of silver three times, deal done!"
On the stage, the auctioneer knocked the hammer hard, with excitement on his face.
Before the auction started, several managers of the auction had seen this jade and believed that it would definitely not be sold.
It has nothing to do with the reserve price, just because the person selling this jade is Wu Xuefeng.
This product is the least favored one.
If it weren't for Ding, the current deputy head of the Zhenbao Pavilion, who owed Wu Xuefeng a favor when he was young, I'm afraid this jade pendant wouldn't even be sold.
But who would have thought that this least favored item would actually sell for the highest price in this auction, a full five thousand taels of silver.
Although she is just an auctioneer, if the turnover of a single auction exceeds expectations, she will receive a bonus.
Next, two more pieces of jewelry were sold, the last one of which sold for the second highest price in the audience, [-] taels of silver, which was a piece of jewelry.
As the bell rang again, the auction came to an end, and everyone walked bustling outside the venue.
On top of that, some of the people who bought something headed for the deeper rooms.
But Lin Xiaofan sat there without moving, wondering what he was thinking. Many people looked here, some showing worry, and some looking like they were lucky enough to get into trouble.
Everyone knew that after the auction, Lin Xiaofan would suffer endless revenge from the Chen family.
But Lin Xiaofan didn't panic at all, and there was even some excitement in his eyes.
If Wu Xuefeng can be brought under his command, his development speed will be further accelerated.
For many technologies, he only has some theories in his mind. At his level, it is too difficult to research them on his own.
But if there is a top craftsman assisting him, it can provide him with a lot of ideas and make many exquisite parts.
You can't say for sure, just give him the rough production plan and he will be able to make it himself.
After all, what craftsmen of this era lack is not ability, but ideas.
"Master, I still think it is unwise to offend the Chen family in the capital so rashly."
Wen Yue's little face was almost twisted together, and her eyes were full of worry.
In her eyes, the Chen family in Beijing was already a behemoth.
Although the Wen family is one of the four major families in Lifeng County, in the eyes of the Chen family in the capital, they are just a joke.
"Don't worry, I know it well. Moreover, I have offended the Chen family before, but this time I offended the Chen family more deeply."
Lin Xiaofan didn't care at all.
He didn't know what was going on in the capital, but here in Qingzhou, the Chen family didn't have that much influence.
The last time they took action against him, it was the borrowed hand of the magistrate of Degao Town.
While the two were talking, they had reached the depths of the auction venue. Here, another large room was opened, which was brightly lit and many people were walking around inside.
The door to the room was open, and there were several armed guards standing on both sides.
"Master, normally you have to collect the auction items here. It's just that your jade pendant may be a bit special."
The two of them stepped inside and noticed one person at a glance. This person was in the center of the room, and the staff around him were respectful to him. Even some sellers came forward to salute him.
However, he ignored everyone, and instead looked around, as if looking for something.
It wasn't until he saw Wen Yue and Lin Xiaofan arriving that he showed a professional smile on his face and walked towards them.
"Uncle Guan."
Wen Yue spoke to the person in front of her.
"Wenyue, you have grown so big."
Guan Ding said politely, and then looked at Lin Xiaofan aside:
"Is this Counselor Lin? The item you bought is quite special. Please come with me."
Lin Xiaofan nodded to him. This matter concerned Wu Xuefeng, so he should act with caution.
Behind this room, there is a corridor, which connects many rooms. The two shuttled here and finally arrived at an office.
Sitting on the seat on one side was a man wearing a bamboo hat. When he saw the two people coming, he quickly stood up and took off the hat on his head.
Under the bamboo hat is a middle-aged man with dark skin, clean shaven face, and a Chinese character face. He has a scar on his face, from his eyebrows, across his eyes, to his cheeks.
"This is Wu Xuefeng, and this is Counselor Lin. This room is soundproofed and in a hidden location, so you can chat with confidence."
Guan Ding introduced the two of them, and then wisely exited the room, leaving the space for the two of them.
Inside the house, the two people's eyes met. Wu Xuefeng looked at the young man in front of him up and down, and asked in disbelief:
"Counselor Lin? Are you the counselor Lin who used several magical strategies to repel the [-] coalition troops on the Qingzhou front line?"
Counselor Lin, who was all-powerful on the Qingzhou front line, was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy?
It's unlikely when you think about it, maybe it's just the same name.
But who would have expected that Lin Xiaofan on the opposite side nodded directly and said humbly:
"Exactly, it's just a little trick, not a magical one."
It’s really Counselor Lin!
After receiving the answer, Wu Fengxue's expression became more and more excited, but soon, his expression was filled with sadness again.
He was excited because Lin Xiaofan could kill tens of thousands of troops with just a few strategies. It was an honor for him that such a talented person was willing to take him in.
The reason for worry is that in the entire Daqian Kingdom, there is no family named Lin that can compete with the Chen family in the capital.
In other words, Lin Xiaofan could not withstand the revenge of the Chen family in the capital.
In this decadent country, talent is far less useful than family background.
Maybe Lin Xiaofan in the future can compete with the Chen family in the capital, but now he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his wings are not yet full.
If he follows Lin Xiaofan, he will only become a burden to the other party.
Thinking about it, he sighed.
It's a pity that he finally met someone who appreciated him and was a wise master, but he couldn't follow him.
"Counsel Lin, I accept your offer. I will return the money to you, and you can go."
There is no other reason. He doesn't want to drag down someone who appreciates him.
"Why? Is it possible that Brother Wu doesn't like me?"
Lin Xiaofan raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect that after confirming his identity, Wu Fengxue's first words were to let him go.
"No, Counselor Lin has accomplished great things at a young age and is respected by thousands of people. I admire Feng Xue more than anything else."
Guan Fengxue bowed her head and then explained:
"It's my honor that Counselor Lin is willing to take me in. But you may not know that I offended the Chen family in my early years and formed a deadly feud with them. Over the years, I have also been hunted by the Chen family."
"I have been incognito for ten years and have almost forgotten my skills. Unexpectedly, I was discovered by the Chen family a month ago. My friends in Beijing informed me of the news in advance, so I escaped. Unfortunately, that friend of mine was Someone from the Chen family killed him."
As he spoke, his face was full of sorrow and anger.
