Chapter 545 Chapter 547 Auction
Although there was nothing wrong with the seasoning powder in Aunt Hua's hand, Rong Xianxian became a little wary because of what she had just seen.
The Flame Mercenary Group was established not long ago, and even though the family backgrounds and personal qualities of the members were carefully examined when they were selected, there is no guarantee that some of them will not be bribed and change their minds.
There are few people in the inner courtyard, and most of the meals for the children are prepared by Rong Xianxian herself. Jiang Jie, Chen Lishu and others often eat in the outer courtyard, so there have only been two aunties cooking in the inner courtyard, and there are still loopholes in supervision!
"Okay, okay, I got it, Doctor Rong. I will pay attention next time." Aunt Hua said repeatedly.
Rong Xianxian is an expert in using poison and detoxifying. If the food is really poisonous, it should not be hidden from her. However, there are exceptions to everything, and the management of the small kitchen in the inner courtyard should be adjusted.
Rong Xianxian made breakfast for the children. While eating breakfast, Rong Xianxian gave Chang Qing a stack of drawings and asked Chang Qing to send someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Qingshuang Fruit, Red Needle Grass, and several other medicinal herbs. Rong Xianxian had also assigned Chang Qing the task of finding medicinal herbs before, but most of the herbs Rong Xianxian wanted to find were rare and precious, and rarely found.
"Raise the reward price a little more, especially for the Green Frost Fruit. If anyone has this medicine or information about it, feel free to name the price," Rong Xianxian instructed.
After taking the drawings, Chang Qing looked at Rong Xianxian and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong? Are you having any difficulties?" Rong Xianxian felt that Chang Qing's expression was not right.
"Sister Rong, it's not a matter of price. The things we wanted to buy were secretly stolen by someone." Chang Qing said.
"The person who stole what we were looking for should be Gong Hanyu, right? Then, is there no one who would avoid the eyes and ears of the Gong family and come to trade with you?" Although the Gong family is powerful, they are far from being able to cover the sky with one hand.
"Yes, we offered a very high price for the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma that you were anxiously looking for before. Later, someone came to me and said that he had accidentally found one in the Misty Forest, but it was confiscated when he entered the city." Chang Qing said.
"What? The laws in the security zone are strict, and the city gate dared to do this, but he didn't report it?" Rong Xianxian frowned.
"It's definitely useless to report it, because that's the rule of the safe zone. Any new species that have never been seen before must be sold to official research institutions in the safe zone first. In order to prevent people from not following the rules, when the city gates are checking items entering the city, if they find any new species, they can detain them first." Chang Qing explained.
"Those big families and big forces have set up bases outside the safe zone, partly to avoid the safe zone's regulations."
"Most of those big powers have space items in their hands. When I entered the city, I didn't see any inspection of space items at the city gate."
"Space items are so rare that even those big forces can only have one or two space items at most. With so many people under them, they certainly cannot use them all. Besides, those adventurers cannot be sure whether the plants they collect or the prey they hunt are new species. Most of them will go to those strongholds to have a look. If the price there is right, they will trade there." Many strongholds outside the safe zone have trading markets.
"How are we going to sell the things they take? The exchanges, markets, and even the black market in the safe zone are all supervised by relevant departments. Can they sell what they bring in?" If they are forced to buy them by the authorities, their efforts will be in vain.
"There is an auction house outside the safe zone that is open every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Most of the items taken from the strongholds are sold there."
"The auction house outside the safe zone? That means there should be a lot of good things there." Rong Xianxian repeated.
"You didn't allow the team to leave the safe zone at will before. I only heard about the situation in the auction house from hearsay. I heard that everything is sold there, but if you don't have enough strength, you can't get the treasure back even if you buy it."
Outside the safe zone is a lawless place, where strength is always king.
"Do you know the exact location of the auction house? What are the requirements to enter the auction house?" Rong Xianxian asked.
Calculating the time, there are still eight days until the first day of the new year, so she has to go there then.
"I haven't known about these things. I will send someone to find out now." Chang Qing replied.
"By the way, send someone to the official exchange to see if there are any Qingshuang fruits there. Just look and don't ask. Don't let anyone notice. This is what we are looking for." Gong Hanyu's death has deepened the feud between her and the Gong family. There are also the Ning family and the Sharp Sword Mercenary Group. The number of people who are trying to trip her up behind her back will only increase, not decrease.
"I understand. I'll go now." Chang Qing took action immediately.
After breakfast, Rong Xianxian sent the children to school. She had just watched the children being taken to school by the teacher when a person suddenly jumped out from the side.
"Daughter-in-law, what have you done to my son? Hand my son over to me quickly." Ying Cai'e, dressed in plain clothes with red eyes, stood in front of Rong Xianxian, and several strong men surrounded her.
Shen Lishu, who was standing behind Rong Xianxian, blew a whistle, and several team members got out of the car.
The security guard at the school gate saw that something was wrong and immediately came up and asked, "What are you doing?"
At this moment, there are still many parents who send their children to school and have not left, and the parking lot not far away is full of cars.
"Wow, my wife is so cruel. Knowing my son was injured, I was worried and wanted to go see him, but my wife stopped me. Poor mother, I carried my child for ten months and gave birth to him. Now he is missing and his body is nowhere to be found. My son's property is also controlled by her. Wuuuu, leaving us orphans and widows with no way to survive." Ying Cai'e is worthy of having been in the film and television industry. She said these words with sincere emotions and well-controlled facial expressions. Even at her age, she cried like a tearful woman.
At this time, a group of parents who were sending their children to school gathered around and looked at Ying Cai'e with sympathy.
Ever since Rong Xianxian came to Beijing, Ying Cai'e has never been quiet. She went to Sibaolou to make trouble before, and after learning that Rong Xianxian had moved to a new house in the outer city, she went to the new house to make trouble again. Rong Xianxian had ignored her, but she didn't expect that she would block her at the school gate today and brought people with her.
"In order to let the Ning family keep you and your daughter, you betrayed him. Not only did you allow the Ning family to poison him, but you also put him in danger. Now you still have the nerve to say that you are worried about him. What are you worried about him for? Qingyun said that he would wait for you to leave and would send you off, but there is no need to see him if you are alive." Rong Xianxian has gradually understood the causes and consequences of Ning Qingyun's being trapped in the secret realm.
If Yunshan and Ying Cai'e had not conspired to deceive Ning Qingyun, how could their family have been unable to reunite until death in their previous life.
