"One hundred thousand taels."

Jiang He interrupted with words and raised the two fingers of his right hand.

There was a sensation in the bookstore. Not to mention a small place in Qucheng, even if you focus on the whole day, one hundred thousand taels are also astronomical numbers.

Lin Yaxi and the others may not know Jiang He’s habits, but everyone who recognizes him in neighboring prefectures and counties knows that Jiang He buys calligraphy and paintings and does not bid easily, and if he bids, he will be able to get everything he wants.

Zhang San's face twisted for half a second, but immediately returned to the same as before.

"So, Lord Jiang likes to play with heartbeat."

Jiang He pulled up the corner of his mouth, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. "Mr. Tao said just now, I thought about it again and again, but unfortunately I still couldn't convince myself to give it up. If Mr. Tao doesn't dislike it, he can follow me back to Jiang Mansion to choose another one and give it to his grandmother."

Jiang He spoke very generously, but Zhang San said, "100,500 taels."

Jiang He was stunned. This is the temper of the noble young man. "110,000 taels."

Wang Wenshan shook his head in surprise and said to Liang Yue, "110,000 taels. Is this a record that surpasses Wang Yiru?"

Liang Yue was also shocked and looked at the two people sitting at the same table in front of him. "I'm afraid I won't stop at 110,000 taels."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang San indeed offered a new price.

"115,000 taels."

People from the other four tables whispered.

"The reserve price is so high, and I can add 5,000,500 liang to the top. Just listening to the number, I feel so painful."

"I know that the Jiang family has been a wealthy businessman for generations. But where is the eldest son Tao from the capital?"

Jiang He gritted his teeth, but he refused to give in. "120,000 taels."

He originally wanted to smash Mr. Meng Tao with a price of 100,000 taels. If it really didn't work, he would add a painting of about 10,000 taels to him.

Unexpectedly, this young master Tao was very confident! After the auction, he had to ask what the background of the Tao family in Beijing was.

Zhang Da and Zhang Er were so anxious that they were about to get angry. Every time Zhang San called, their hearts trembled.

Did the third brother eat the courage of the bear heart and leopard, or did he really treat himself as a rich man? It was not for money. Isn’t it just for the sake of money and give it to Jiang He? If you continue to fight like this, what should I do if the duck that has the mouth flew away!

Zhang San seemed to have no such concern at all. "Twelve five thousand taels."

Jiang He frowned tightly. He had never encountered such a difficult bidding opponent.

Ten thousand taels are already his last line of defense. But if he wants to give up, he is extremely unwilling to give up. He is unwilling to return home in his home court. He is even more unwilling to lose to the white-faced young actor he hates the most!

"130,000 taels."

Jiang He's eyes were so angry that his eyes were red, and even his words were filled with anger.

Zhang Er prayed repeatedly in his heart. Third brother, please stop at the right time, but don’t add it.

Lin Yaxi also realized that Jiang He was almost at his limit. She was afraid that Zhang San would take off her job at once, so she was about to come forward to confirm that Zhang Sanyi was very brave.

"Thirteen thousand five thousand taels."

The throwing of another heavy number made those who were used to seeing the world shocked.

What does it mean? A box of silver is 1,000 taels. One box of silver requires 1,350 taels to be carried in a full 135 boxes!

Jiang He couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his hand and signaled Lin Yaxi to stop first, then turned to the side and said in a hoarse voice,

"Mr. Tao, it will be of no benefit to you and me if this continues. Master Tao knows the value of Wang Yiru's painting, so he doesn't have to act irritably, right?"

Seeing this, Lin Yaxi hurriedly stopped him. "Prince Jiang had asked Wan to treat him equally. Then Wan also asked him not to break the auction rules."

Zhang San turned sideways and said gracefully, "Mr. Jiang is not doing anything in a voluntary manner, but as mentioned before, I want to buy it to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. There are gains and losses in the auction, so Master Jiang doesn't need to be too emotional."

Jiang He was angry and became more embarrassed and angry when he was told by a young boy. He grinded his back teeth and asked, "What do you want?"

Zhang San was extremely surprised. "The intention of this painting has always been just this painting. Let me tell you the truth. I am holding the unlimited support of Risheng Money House in my hand. Since I came to Qucheng, this butterfly catching picture is about to be settled."

Is this showing his trump card? Hearing the unlimited support, Jiang He's heart sank suddenly.

Even if he has more money, he can't beat Risheng Money House. There are indeed crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the capital. But... there is an old saying that strong dragons do not defeat local snakes.

Lin Yaxi could see clearly that there was a thought of killing in Jiang He's eyes, and it flashed by. Qucheng is his territory. What else can he not do if he dares to be greedy for the imperial court's disaster relief silver?

Lin Yaxi did it, "Unlimited silver notes usually have to be exchanged at the headquarters of the bank. And Risheng Money Bank is far away in the capital, and the time on the road will be reviewed for at least ten days. If the bank refuses to accept it..."

Zhang San asked unhappily, "Mr. Wan can't trust the Tao family?"

Lin Yaxi quickly clarified. "The Tao family is big and the business is big, so Wan naturally trusts it. However, the seller of this painting will move away from Tianyuan soon and is eager to cash in. Mr. Tao, please see, can you pay half the deposit first? In this way, Wan will also have an explanation to him."

The arrogant young master's annoyance and resentment that was so strong that he endured was fully portrayed by Zhang San.

"Mr. Wan, aren't you asking me a problem? With Risheng Money House as a guarantee, why would I still carry another 70,000 taels of silver? Now this one cannot be exchanged. Even if I want me to borrow from the Tao family's family in Qucheng, I should have two days left, right?"

"this......"

Lin Yaxi stammered, but did not let go.

Jiang He's eyes turned. "Mr. Tao has temporary difficulties, and the seller is unwilling to delay. If Mr. Wan is willing to consider it, my 120,000 taels will still be valid and can be paid in one go."

Zhang San stared at Jiang He angrily. "The prefect's actions are going to take advantage of others' danger, right?"

Seeing that he was defeated, Jiang He swept away his previous depression and said with a smile, "Mr. Tao himself said that there are gains and losses in the auction. Mr. Wan wants to make a deal, whose money is not the money?"

"Mr. Wan would rather reduce 15,000 taels of money by himself than cashing out the silver?"

Zhang Sanjun's face twisted, looked at Lin Yaxi standing, and vowed to ask for an explanation.

Lin Yaxi touched her beard, neither wanting to break up with the Tao family nor wanting to break the business. After a long time, she realized that

"It's better to do this. Wan also made a request to Lord Jiang. If Lord Jiang can do it, this butterfly catching picture will be yours."

Jiang He's eyes shone brightly when he was right away. "Mr. Wan, please speak."

Seeing that the prey had fallen into the trap, Lin Yaxi closed the net.

"Since 120,000 taels were already discounted, Wan wanted to ask Lord Jiang to pay all the silver before noon tomorrow, and escort Wan and his party to return to Beijing smoothly."

It is of course easier to carry a stack of silver notes than to transport a hundred boxes of silver. But everyone can understand that Lin Yaxi's purpose of asking for silver was nothing more than to make things difficult for the Prime Minister Jiang and show it to Mr. Tao.
