Chapter 664 The last lot
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally bustling building suddenly became quiet.
Many people looked at the man who spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
The man was originally feeling very proud of his teasing words, with a lewd look on his face. Feeling the gazes of the people around him, he realized that something was wrong, but he still laughed loudly and spoke.
"Do you think what I said is right?"
The atmosphere remained tense, and no one responded.
The smile on the man's face finally faded, and he said in an awkward voice: "Why aren't you talking? Do you think Master Wen is not pretty enough?"
Turning his head, the man looked at Wen Yan, "Master Wen, please don't mind. I said this because I admire you. After all, it's not common to see a woman as beautiful and enchanting as you."
The corners of Wen Yan's lips, which were already curled up, continued to move upwards little by little, and an increasingly charming smile bloomed on her face.
"This guest, I think, is the first time to come to my Wuling Building."
Seeing the smile on Wen Yan's face, the man breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly, "Yes, this is my first time tonight, but I will definitely come here every month in the future. After all, the host is so beautiful. Even if I come here just to see the host once, it's not a loss! Don't you agree?"
The man once again tried to gain approval from the people around him, but once again he was responded with silence.
Finally, he couldn't help it, frowned, and glanced at the people around him with displeasure.
"What's wrong with you guys? Are you all mute?"
"Of course they are not dumb." Wen Yan said with a smile, "They don't speak because they don't want to become dumb."
"What do you mean?" The man was stunned.
Wen Yan smiled and said, "It means you can say goodbye to your tongue now."
"what?"
The man was stunned, and before he could fully react, Wen Yan glanced at the two maids beside him. They flew down from the high platform and captured the man on the left and right.
Before the man could struggle, the silver needle pierced his neck and he was instantly unable to move.
One of the maids removed the man's jaw, and the other cooperated tacitly and skillfully pulled out the exquisite little dagger from her sleeve. In the blink of an eye, the man's tongue was cut off.
As the silver needle was pulled out, a shrill scream was heard.
The man covered his mouth and looked at the two maids in front of him in disbelief, but he could only stare with his eyes wide open and could not say anything.
The one who had just cut off the other's tongue with a dagger felt unhappy when he saw the other's wide-open eyes and the scar on his nose.
He raised his wrist and flicked it, and another shrill scream was heard.
The dagger slashed across the man's eyes from left to right, right along the scar on his nose.
The man had not yet recovered from the severe pain at the root of his tongue. He saw a flash of blood in front of his eyes, and then he could see nothing.
This time, he couldn't even let out a second scream, and he fell straight down.
The maid who destroyed his eyes didn't even look at him, but just bowed to Wen Yan.
"Please forgive me, OP. This man's eyes are really disgusting, so I had to teach him a lesson."
"Forget it. Those eyes are really unpleasant to look at. Let them be blind." Wen Yan said nonchalantly, and then swept his eyes across the crowd with a smile, "Don't let some irrelevant people disturb your interest. Everyone, let's continue."
The two maids returned to the platform, and the fainted man was quickly dragged down. On the platform, Wen Yan's expression remained the same, as if nothing had happened.
Pei Zhaozhi frowned and looked at the expressions of the people downstairs. Seeing that most people in the lobby on the first floor did not show any surprise about what had just happened, he immediately understood in his heart that this kind of thing must have happened more than once.
Although it was indeed that person who spoke disrespectfully first, it was a bit too much to be so ruthless in his attack.
Pei Zhaozhi's eyes were solemn, and the idea of wiping out the black market once again emerged in his mind.
Wen Yan seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up and met Pei Zhaozhi's gaze accurately.
There was a sneer in those extremely beautiful eyes, as if they could see through all of Pei Zhaozhi's thoughts at a glance.
Pei Zhaozhi's heart skipped a beat, and at that moment he felt uncomfortable as if he had been seen through.
Wen Yan only took a glance, then looked away and announced that the auction would continue.
"This last lot is five people."
"Five people? This last item is indeed a big deal, but I don't know the identities of those five people?" someone asked curiously.
The first floor, which had just quieted down, became noisy again because of this last item. Many people were discussing in low voices, speculating about the identities of these five people.
Listening to the discussion below, Wen Yan's red lips curled up and she said word by word: "These five people are the Xilin spies who escaped to the black market a few days ago."
When these words were spoken, many people looked at each other, and the brave ones spoke to Wen Yan.
"Master Wen, what's the use of these Xilin spies? Do you expect us to take pictures of them and then ask the court for reward?"
"That's right. We all have lawsuits to some extent. If we show up at the government office, we will be trapped along with those Xilin spies."
"That's right. What does spying have to do with us?"
Wen Yan was naturally not surprised by these people's reactions, but he did not answer. He just slowly spit out the price.
"Five people, five thousand taels..."
"Compared to the price of the last item auctioned, it's quite cheap, but this Xilin spy..."
"gold."
As soon as the last two words came out of his mouth, the cheap words he was just talking about suddenly stopped.
Five thousand taels of gold?
According to the gold and silver exchange rate in Beiyang Kingdom, that would be 100,000 taels of silver.
Who has nothing better to do than to exchange one hundred thousand taels of silver for five Xilin spies?
Even if he really had the chance to be sent to the government office to receive the reward, the reward he would receive might not be that much.
For a moment, the Wuliang Tower fell silent again, but this time the silence was not due to fear, but due to doubts about the last item and its price.
Of course, Wen Yan didn’t care about those people’s reactions at all, but looked up directly towards the second floor.
"This is the last lot. Does anyone want to bid?"
Pei Zhaozhi frowned because of the price. He was about to discuss it with Shen Yanxi when he saw that Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining were both looking at the position opposite them.
There was a layer of gauze at that place, so the person behind could not be seen clearly. I could only vaguely see two men, one sitting and one standing.
A clear and pleasant voice came from behind the gauze.
"Six thousand taels, gold."
