Chapter 100: Encounter with He Liangcong
They were actually planning to interrogate them separately and then check whether they were consistent.
Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement: Could the two people agree on what they were saying?
What can Fu Chenan say?
Of course, leniency to those who confess.
He described clearly everything the Third Prince said and did after he entered the Marshal's Mansion!
The confessions from both sides were placed together on the Emperor's desk, and the Emperor's face darkened again.
Both of them said the same thing, but underneath the Third Prince's high-sounding words, it was clear that he had his eyes on Fu Chenan's business!
The third prince was just a figurehead in the Ministry of Revenue and was not responsible for any specific affairs. No one asked him to do this.
Who knows if he himself is coveting Fu Chenan’s shop?
Is he thinking about the Ministry of Revenue and the national treasury?
Or is it for his ambition? !
Or are you coveting the Fu family army behind Fu Chenan?
Or did he want to collude with Fu Chenan and poison the soap that the Emperor often used? !
Everyone in the palace knows: His Majesty the Emperor has recently fallen in love with washing his face, hands and hair with soap.
The soap that was presented as tribute to the palace was unique...
The emperor's face was as dark as if water was about to drip out: "You are only concerned about the court, it is really difficult for you, you didn't even come to ask me, but went to find General Fu to find a way to make money..."
The Third Prince kowtowed and said, "I just want to expand the sources of income and fill the national treasury..."
What is said is not important; what is important is what the Emperor thinks.
In the end, the third prince was reprimanded and confined to reflect on his mistakes.
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince were both happy.
Fu Chenan was also criticized, but he appeared to be very fearful and said that he would never do anything to let down the court or His Majesty, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
I believe that from now on, other princes will not dare to be so presumptuous if they want to take advantage of me.
Every night after dark, he would carry his lunch box to the Space-Time Supermarket.
A person sat at a table in the supermarket, finished his meal, and left quietly.
This is the ninth day since Miss Xiao left.
……
The time for the auction has come.
Willide Auction House invited Xiao Yingchun to visit the site.
Xiao Yingchun accepted the invitation and wore the white silk shirt she bought last time with a black umbrella skirt, which was just right with pearl earrings.
There are five or six rows of chairs below, with a total of fifty or sixty seats. Above is the auction table and the staff who are preparing. There are also staff in the two rows behind.
Xiao Yingchun looked at the scene and thought it was similar to the auctions run by top auction companies seen in videos.
The guests who were bidding began to enter the venue. Xiao Yingchun was looking around when she suddenly heard someone shout, "Sister, why are you here?"
When Xiao Yingchun heard the familiar voice, she was stunned for a moment and then looked at a familiar face.
He Liangcong.
He Liangcong was wearing an open-necked shirt under his suit, which was semi-formal. He just walked up to Xiao Yingchun.
Xiao Yingchun: It’s very embarrassing.
After coughing, Xiao Yingchun smiled awkwardly: "Why are you here?"
He Liangcong pointed at the auction house and said, "I've been here for a few days, and I've been hanging out at various auction houses every day..."
Following He Liangcong's words, Xiao Yingchun also understood.
It turned out that after he had organized such an auction with Dai Hengxin, he suddenly became interested in this matter.
However, the relationship between Dai Hengxin and Xiao Yingchun was a bit strained, and seeing that he could not get things going, he estimated that the auction company would most likely go bankrupt.
He Liangcong wants to start his own auction company.
Since he had made up his mind, he had been watching other people's auctions at major auction houses around the world during this period.
After watching so much, he began to focus: only watching auctions of ancient Chinese cultural relics.
After seeing so much, He Liangcong felt a little sad: so many good things have gone abroad.
Sometimes he couldn't help wanting to buy them, but his money was limited, and after buying a few, he was left with nothing.
After communicating with his grandfather over the phone, Mr. He comforted him: "Just watch more, listen more, think more, and do less."
Then just listen to grandpa.
Who knew that I would see Xiao Yingchun and Wang Yongjun today.
He Liangcong had met Wang Yongjun, but Wang Yongjun was a friend of Dai Hengxin and He Liangcong did not have a close relationship with him.
The two of them are not of the same kind and cannot get along, but now seeing him accompanying Xiao Yingchun, He Liangcong couldn't help but think of something wrong.
"You guys are here..."
Xiao Yingchun thought about it and felt a little embarrassed: "I came here to sell some things."
"Oh? Which one is yours?" He Liangcong's eyes lit up.
Xiao Yingchun: All of them.
But I don't want to tell you.
The brochure was just handed out, and I opened a page and saw the pair of rosewood and mother-of-pearl screens.
Xiao Yingchun said casually: "Here, this."
"This is pretty good..." He Liangcong's eyes brightened and he read the introduction of the pair of screens carefully.
Xiao Yingchun no longer wanted to watch the auction process at this time, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
Sitting at the auction with the chatterbox He Liangcong, she felt that her life would be short.
Who knew He Liangcong would drop the brochure and chase after her: "Where are you going, sister?"
Xiao Yingchun said casually: "I came out to get some fresh air. It doesn't matter whether I attend the auction or not."
He Liangcong was not tactful at all: "I don't care. How about I treat you to dinner? I know where to eat good food..." Two thousand words omitted here.
Xiao Yingchun: “…”
Ancestor, could you please stop nagging me all the time?
She looked at Wang Yongjun for help.
Wang Yongjun, however, was looking around, observing the surrounding environment and performing his duties as a bodyguard.
He is just a man who runs a security company. How can he influence the words and deeds of the eldest son of the He family?
Xiao Yingchun was desperate. Seeing that the time was about to start, she simply turned back and said, "Then let's go back and take a look."
When the auction starts inside, I guess He Liangcong won’t bother to say any more.
Soon the auction started.
As the auctioneer came on stage, Xiao Yingchun and Wang Yongjun were both stunned: the auctioneer on the stage turned out to be Zou Muwan.
Tonight, Zou Muwan was still wearing a cheongsam and a pair of unobtrusive pearl earrings. She looked very elegant and approachable standing on the stage.
Zou Muwan glanced at the guests participating in the auction below, and was stunned when she saw Xiao Yingchun and He Liangcong.
He Liangcong continued to chatter to Xiao Yingchun.
"Zou Muwan is very popular in these auction houses. She has become more and more popular in the past two years. Things often go for high prices in her hands..."
When Zou Muwan saw this situation, she subconsciously thought that Xiao Yingchun must have been brought by He Liangcong.
He Liangcong has appeared quite frequently in major auction houses in London recently, and she has encountered him many times.
But at this moment, William, the manager of Willide Auction Company, walked up to Xiao Yingchun and spoke to her in a low voice.
A look of surprise flashed across Zou Muwan's eyes, and then she realized that she had preconceived ideas.
The manager of an auction company would not chat up beautiful women at this time, he could only be contacting clients!
Although He Liangcong often brought female companions to auctions, Xiao Yingchun was the one who could provide the goods to support an entire auction.
William is the apprentice of the veteran appraiser Wang Chongshan, and most of the items auctioned this time were handled by Wang Chongshan...
A guess flashed through Zou Muwan's mind, her heart skipped a beat, and she almost revealed the shock in her heart.
Could it be that the item Wang Chongshan handled this time was Xiao Yingchun's? !
