Chapter 242: Huge Pitfall! Bidding Becomes Auction?



The next evening.

Fang Zhengyi was ready to leave the pleasure boat, with Li Yuanzhao holding tightly onto his official uniform from behind.

With a face full of grief and indignation, she said: "Didn't you say you would take me to Fenghua Tower to play when you have time? I haven't played anything yet!"

"Three days! I stayed on the boat for three days! Do you know how I spent those three days?"

"Every day I help you deal with those useless documents! Stamping! Signing!"

"I'm going to the Fenghua Club to have some fun!"

Fang Zhengyi looked at Li Yuanzhao speechlessly.

I have been really busy these days, busy eating, busy listening to music, I am so tired!

In order to train Li Yuanzhao, he threw all the unimportant chores in the yamen to him.

I didn't expect that at the critical moment tonight, I would be pestered by an older naughty kid, and I couldn't ignore him.

Fang Zhengyi sighed and said, "Your Highness, no matter how fun and attractive Fenghua Club is, it is fake, not real."

“So don’t be playful and obsessed!”

“To achieve a big wish, set a small goal for yourself first, such as reading 500 books first.”

"If you have nothing else, I'll leave first. I'm busy tonight!"

Li Yuanzhao's eyes widened and he shouted, "Old Fang, you have changed!"

"I just want to go out and have some fun. I heard from the people on the boat! There are some love stories in the Fenghua Club. It's so exciting!"

"I'll give it a try! You go out to whorehouses every day without me? Do you deserve to be called brothers?"

Who the fuck is having sex?

Fang Zhengyi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to put on a smile: "Your Highness, we are here to do business! Not to whore!"

"I'm not in the mood to listen to some bullshit romantic love story right now. I just want to make money!"

"We have to take action! Get the money from them and help the victims!"

Li Yuanzhao let go of her hand in shame and said, "Then I'll go with you tonight to see it for myself."

It seems that these three days have really made him feel suffocated.

Fang Zhengyi could only nod and agree: "Okay, Your Highness, if you want to go, you can go, but don't talk and don't leave Zhang Biao's side!"

"good!"

...........

Fang Zhengyi, Li Yuanzhao and Zhang Biao rode their horses all the way to Fenghua Club.

Li Yuanzhao dismounted and entered immediately.

Fang Zhengyi followed behind him and whispered to Zhang Biao, "I'm telling you again, keep an eye on Xiao Li. As long as you are still in Jianjiang, you must not leave him."

"Especially in crowded places! Don't let the prince be in any danger, understand?"

Zhang Biao looked around when he heard this: "Prince? Where is he?"

"It's Xiao Li! How come you didn't know after all this time?" Fang Zheng looked disappointed.

"What!?" Zhang Biao suddenly felt a bolt of lightning striking from head to toe. His eyes were wide open and he stood there with his mouth wide open!

That cerebral palsy Li Yuan is the prince! ! ?

"Did you hear me? I'm talking to you!" Fang Zheng added when he saw that he didn't respond.

Zhang Biao swallowed his saliva and whispered in Fang Zhengyi's ear: "Master, how about we...rebel..."

"???"

"Shut the fuck up! If you keep saying that kind of bullshit, I'll get someone to beat you up!"

Fang Zheng felt as if his heart was kicked by Zhang Biao for a moment. He looked at him hatefully, then quickly walked into Fenghua Club.

Zhang Biao stood there, scratched his head, and murmured: "Can this world still be better..."

When Fang Zheng entered Fenghua Tower, everyone was already there.

Li Yuanzhao consciously found a corner where no one was paying attention to him and sat there quietly.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Zheng Yi walked to the stage confidently, saying, "I am late. I have kept you waiting. Let's start right away!"

There is something new on the stage.

There were many candles placed around the corners, and there were small mirrors behind the candles. Someone was standing underneath to control the angle of the mirrors.

Obviously, I just want to create a simple spotlight effect.

There was a small table on the stage with a gavel on it.

The background wall remained the same as yesterday, covered with red cloth.

As soon as Fang Zheng walked to the front of the table, he waved to the left and right, and the maids on both sides came over to lift the curtain.

Behind the curtain was a city map that had been magnified countless times.

"I won't waste your time any more! Let's get straight to the point!"

"Everyone, please look, this is the map of Jianjiang City, and the item to be auctioned today is on the map!"

"The rules are simple. Each of you will receive a number plate, and each time you raise the plate, you will raise the price by 100 taels!"

After saying that, he pulled out a long thin stick from under the table and pointed to the middle street in the map!

As Fang Zheng pointed, the maid below quickly adjusted the small mirror to illuminate the area of ​​the street where he was pointing.

"The first project to be auctioned is the main street of Jianjiang City. The project content is to completely renovate this road!"

There was an immediate dead silence below, and everyone looked at the map in confusion.

Sun Jiacheng silently raised his hand and shouted, "One thousand taels!"

Wang Qixun glanced at Sun Jiacheng with hatred, raised his hand and shouted, "I have 1,100 taels!"

"I'll give you twelve thousand."

"I'll give you 1,300!"

“.......”

Everyone else looked at the two with long faces, "Are you two sick? Has the money burned your brains?!"

Wasn't it agreed to be a bidding? Why did it change to an auction?

Oh! I spent money and manpower to build the road! And I will give you money!

So what you said yesterday about being worth a million gold was us giving you a million gold?

This is simply the most outrageous thing in the world! Do you, Fang Zheng, have such a big appetite? There is no way to bully people like this!

Finally, someone couldn't help it anymore and stood up and said loudly: "Master Fang! Didn't we agree on a bidding? Why did it turn into an auction?!"

"How can I pay the government money to build a road?"

"Yes! That's right, there is no such thing in the world!"

"Master Fang, you must have made a mistake!"

Fang Zheng glanced at him and said calmly, "Sit down, please."

"Everyone, please be patient! I will explain this to you in detail."

Then he smiled and tapped the map with a small stick.

"Yes, it is an auction. There has never been any bidding. I have never mentioned any bidding. Have I? It has always been an auction!"

The people in the audience looked at Fang Zhengyi with their chests heaving.

The look in his eyes seemed to tear him apart alive.

This guy is really not a good person. It seems that he can't leave without leaving something behind today.

"Of course! You are all big businessmen! Since it is an auction, it must be worth the money!"

“We can’t let everyone make money, but at least we shouldn’t let everyone lose money.”

"Of course the road needs to be repaired, and of course you have to pay for it."

"But... I assure you that the things that come with the qualification to contract the road construction are absolutely worth it!"

Everyone's eyes lit up again...
