Seduce the Villain Plan

5.6

After sending Diana away, Gu Yiling returned to the carriage, ready to continue exploring the world.

He stopped to take a look at every property in the Willard family. Most of the stores were doing well, and the person in charge treated them with respect, although most of the respect was for Gretel's ability. Strong and admirable butler, only a little respect is reserved for this incompetent young master.

Gretel has been carefully observing Gu Yiling's expression, afraid that the young master will be angry because of the person in charge's perfunctory attitude towards him, so he will be wary and disgusted with himself.

Gu Yiling sighed, suddenly not wanting to be angry with Gretel.

"Greet, it must be very hard for you to undertake so many things by yourself, right?"

Grete looked at Gu Yiling's backlit back for a moment, and then his eyes were sore that he almost burst into tears, and he said hoarsely, "It's not hard, for the young master, everything is worth it."

Gretel has never felt so satisfied as he is now, as if a person carried a heavy package and walked a long way, the soles of his feet were worn by stones, although he had never thought about whether it was worth it or not. , but the far away untouchable man at the end of the road suddenly turned around and looked at him with sad and tender eyes, and said to him, "I know all your hard work, and I really appreciate you." Happy to cry.

Gu Yiling felt the change in Gretel's mood, and couldn't help but sigh, thinking: Forget it, I won't be angry with him anymore. He can't accept himself now, and one day he will accept himself.

Soon at night, the street was quiet at first, and then, in a small corner that no one knew about during the day, it suddenly became lively again.

Gu Yiling only brought 233 and Gretel into the slave auction house. This clubhouse looks like a serious tobacco shop on the surface, but it can be said to be the largest black market underground, with poppies, gold and silver from America, black slaves from Africa, and tobacco and silk smuggled from China. , can be said to have everything. During the period of primitive capitalist accumulation, the government's control of these was extraordinarily loose.

After reporting the name of the Willard family, the waiter quickly took them to a box with a good view. Open the curtains and you can see the panorama of the entire auction venue from the second floor underground.

Soon, the slave auction began.

No matter in which era, where civilization has not been exposed, human life is always cheap and unimaginable. A few dozen silver coins or a dozen gold coins can buy a strong African black slave.

Gu Yiling raised the sign more than a dozen times and bought more than a dozen black slaves who sold well. This is not a strange thing in this auction house. Among those big families, which do not have dozens of black slaves to work for them? Negro slaves are cheap, don't need to pay wages, they are submissive, and no one will care if they die. They are the best labor force.

Gretel silently reminded Gu Yiling: "Master, we have enough people."

Gu Yiling replied casually: "I buy people for other purposes."

Although it was a slave auction, not all of them were slaves. Occasionally, some other items were presented, such as the jade article presented now. According to the main seller, it was a royal ornament used in the Huaxia Palace. The jade was in the shape of a dragon, with a green body and no flaws. It was indeed a rare treasure.

In this era, it is still a fashion to pursue Chinese culture, and this jade article was quickly raised to a high price of 1,000 gold coins.

"Two thousand gold coins!"

The people in the hall booed, but when they saw the sign on the flag hanging outside the window of the box that made the noise, they all booed, and they could only sigh that they were rich and did not dare to compete any more.

Gu Yiling asked casually, "Who is that? Such a foolish person has a lot of money."

Gretel's mouth twitched, and he was speechless about the adjective of the young master, and replied: "It should be Mr. Cyril Ansair, the son of Mrs. Diana in the afternoon, and you praised him. He is probably here. For this jade, Mrs. Diana loved the Chinese jade very much. Before the jade was put up for auction, it was promoted to raise its value. Mrs. Diana probably had a crush on this jade and asked his son to buy it for her. "

Gu Yiling's eyes darkened, and he unconsciously straightened up and looked at the box where Cyril was sitting. The corners of his mouth were raised with an indescribable excitement. Are you going to see the male protagonist so soon? Is there a good show to watch so soon?

Seeing Gu Yiling's excited expression, Gretel's heart sank.

Is the young master looking forward to meeting Cyril? Does the young master like Cyril very much? Master... Does Master want to be with Cyril? How can this be, how can they be together?

The host at the bottom has already started quoting: "One time for two thousand gold coins! Anyone else bid a higher price? Two thousand gold coins twice! Two thousand gold coins three times..."

"Three thousand gold coins!"

The people in the entire hall looked at the source of the sound in surprise, wanting to know who was robbing the Ansair family, but only saw a handsome young man who was lying lazily on the sofa, smiling nonchalantly. Most of the people sitting didn't know what Colin looked like, and they didn't quite recognize the logo of the Willard family, so they started talking.

Gretel also looked at Gu Yiling in surprise, the young master has never been interested in fragile and expensive jade, how could he charge such a high price? Could it be... could it be to arouse Cyril's idea?

The more Gretel thought about it, the more he felt that his thoughts were right, and his heart sank even more.

Cyril frowned and looked at Gu Yiling, but he stopped breathing because of the youth's beautiful appearance like a pet under a Greek god. After a few seconds, he reluctantly turned his eyes away and asked the subordinate beside him: "who's that person?"

"It's the son of the Willard family, Colin Willard."

Cyril was surprised: "Is he the one who helped his mother in the afternoon?"

"Yes."

Cyril evoked a wicked smile, "Interesting, interesting." Then he held up the sign and shouted, "Four thousand gold coins!"

The people off the court were talking louder, and these two people are afraid they are on the bar, right? Although this piece of jade is precious, it is absolutely impossible to buy such a high price!

Gu Yiling's expression remained unchanged, "Five thousand gold coins!" He was not at all worried that Cyril would suddenly withdraw his hand and make him suffer. He understood it. The children of luck in his mission were probably the ones who had little ability. But still arrogant to think "I have to get what I want".

Sure enough, Cyril immediately continued to quote: "Six thousand gold coins!"

Off the field, the pot exploded like water, and many people and Gu Yiling had the same idea: "People are stupid and have more money!"

Cyril didn't listen to the comments below, he raised his chin in Gu Yiling's direction, and raised a red wine glass to separate him from CHEERS. He obviously felt good about himself, but in Gu Yiling's eyes, he looked like a fool and arrogant. rooster.

Gretel stared at Cyril, what does this mean? Are you hooking up with your own young master?

The host saw that Gu Yiling had no intention of making any further bids, and said: "6,000 gold coins once! 6,000 gold coins twice! 6,000 gold coins three times! The deal! This jade belongs to the son of Cyril from the Ansair family!"
