C47

Hu Xueying, who was walking beside Jiang Chao, could be said to be graceful now, and had a slim figure.

Furthermore, Hu Xueying's appearance, which was similar to the famous actress Liu Yifei, had also attracted a lot of attention from the opposite sex.

Especially the nurse's uniform, it showed Hu Xueying's figure, and when Jiang Chao walked with her, she could not help but glance at him.

From the looks of it, a mixed blood beauty like Thaksa could not be compared with him.

Jiang Chao finally understood what it meant to attract bees and butterflies to him. Hu Xueying was fresh and refined, and under the envious eyes of many men, he seemed to have already been torn apart a thousand times by their stares.

"What are you two doing!" Jiang Chao dressed up like a commoner who was looking for work during the summer vacation.

Moreover, it was obvious that his and Hu Xueying's clothing were a little out of place in such a lofty place like the Paulie Auction House.

But when Hu Xueying turned around to look at them, the security guard who had stopped them revealed an expression of shock.

"This big bro, my apologies, we are here to look for Mr Molson." Hu Xueying smiled slightly.

Hu Xueying only smiled slightly. However, the old security guard just stared at her in a daze. It took a while before he could recover from his hysteria.

"Miss, do you have an appointment?" The security guard said with a smile.

"Yes." Hu Xueying nodded.

Hearing that, the security guard immediately changed his tone from before and became beaming with smiles. "Miss, this way please."

The security guard brought Hu Xueying to the front desk to receive him.

The security guard told Mr Molson that they had already made an appointment with him.

"Sir, please wait a moment, I'll give Mr Molson a call." Compared to the security, the reception quality was much higher.

As for the fierce-looking security guard, he was staring straight at Hu Xueying's face.

This security guard's naked eyes made people feel disgusted.

Jiang Chao shot a glance at him. He realized that the guard was thinking about something, and the guard's body seemed to react like he had been injected with hormones.

"Hello, may I know the name of the person who made the appointment?" the receptionist asked.

"Jiang Chao." Jiang Chao replied.

"Mr Molson is on the third floor in the manager's office. The moment the receptionist heard the correct name, he immediately opened his mouth and spoke.

Jiang Chao looked at the security guard and frowned. Then, he brought Hu Xueying and walked up the stairs.

The handrails and floors of the Pauli auction house were all made of solid wood.

There were also many expensive calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

Climbing the stairs to the second floor and looking down at the three-meter-wide palace lamp in the lobby of the first floor, Jiang Chao could not help but be impressed, this Pawnbroker Auction House was truly rich.

When he reached the third floor, he found the manager's office.

Jiang Chao originally wanted to knock on the door, but he found that the door was only half-closed.

Jiang Chao was about to enter, but a mature lady wearing glasses walked out from the manager's office.

The mature woman was rather good-looking. She was holding a leather folder in her hand. It seemed that she had received some kind of higher education. Her posture and body posture were both very proper.

The mature woman smiled at Jiang Chao and Hu Xueying.

Especially Hu Xueying's beauty, it seemed like it surprised the mature woman, so she took a few more glances at Hu Xueying.

When Jiang Chao and Hu Xueying walked into the manager's office, they saw a somewhat balding white man wearing an exquisite western vest. The white man was standing beside the desk.

The white man lit a cigar.

This cigar was definitely not a fake, inferior product from the market. From the looks of it, it should be imported.

"Hello, Mr Molson. I was introduced to you by Elder Feng." Jiang Chao awkwardly laughed when he introduced himself.

"Are you Mr Ginger?" Elder Feng praises you so well, I never thought I would be so young, who is this? " Mr Molson said as his gaze fell on Hu Xueying's body.

"This is a friend who came with me." Jiang Chao introduced.

"Jiang, your girlfriend is so beautiful." Molson came from an open-minded Britain, and mistook Jiang Chao and Hu Xueying as their relationship.

Hearing this, Jiang Chao became a little awkward.

He glanced at Hu Xueying, but Hu Xueying didn't mind Mr Molson's' misunderstanding '.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Mises, please take a seat." Mr Molson was not in a hurry to discuss things with Jiang Chao and the rest, but invited the two of them to sit.

Molson's office was not as luxurious as the renovations outside.

After Jiang Chao and Hu Xueying sat down, Jiang Chao realized that the wooden Chinese chair was not only old but also cracked.

Jiang Chao was puzzled, but Hu Xueying was more knowledgeable.

"This seat is made of yellow rosewood, and it should be quite old, so the price should not be cheap." Hu Xueying reminded.

"Yellow-flowered pear wood?" Jiang Chao was startled upon hearing this.

Yellow and rosewood was not just any ordinary wood. Collecting yellow and rosewood in China had already become a trend.

Any furniture made from yellow rosewood could sell for two to three hundred thousand yuan in the market, not to mention an old thing with a history behind it.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Hu." You two take a rest first, I'll go pour you two a cup of tea. " Mr Molson was gentle and refined, just like a gentleman.

Seeing that Molson wanted to make them tea, Jiang Chao felt a little embarrassed.

"Mr Molson, there's no need to trouble yourself. Why don't we just start looking at the goods?" Section Chief Hai did not inform him whether he should stay at the Public Security University or go back at night.

After he finished dealing with the things here, Jiang Chao still had to pack up his things at night and see how he would arrange for tomorrow.

After Mr Molson heard this, he opened his mouth and asked: "Mister Jiang, what do you have in hand?"

"A bronze Buddha statue and an iron saddle." Jiang Chao smiled somewhat uneasily.

After Mr Molson heard this, he first made tea for Jiang Chao and Hu Xueying, and then he said: The two of you take your time to enjoy, I will contact the experts first.

When Molson did something, it seemed to emphasize style.

Seeing that, Jiang Chao could only choose to respect him.

After taking a sip of the tea, Jiang Chao realized that the fragrance of the tea was much stronger than when he had been treating his previously.

"Mr Molson, what tea is this?" Hu Xueying felt that it was not bad and asked.

"This is Snow Mountain Pu'er, it was specially shipped from Yunnan Province." Molson explained.

Molson contacted experts who were more proficient in appraising bronze artifacts.

Since the experts had not arrived, Jiang Chao and Hu Xueying could only wait here temporarily.

Darkness had already begun to fall. The daggers from the East Ocean Continent walked out from the aid station.

Nameless' face was sickly, and his eyes were dark.

However, his eyes were glum as he looked towards the southeast.

Next, he took out a palm-sized thing that looked like a compass.

"The Spirit Guiding Plate shouldn't have any errors. The nine tails should be in that direction right now." After Nameless' one slash, he headed in the direction indicated by the spirit tablet.

The Nameless Peak was determined to kill the Nine Tails.

Hu Xueying seemed to be unaware of the approaching danger.

She was currently sitting in Mr Molson's office.

The expert had already arrived and was examining the two items that Jiang Chao had brought.

"This bronze Buddha statue should be an artifact from the Southern Song Dynasty, it should be the real thing. Although the gold on it is no longer there, but the craftsmanship of this legendary Bodhisattva statue is extremely exquisite." The expert said.

The expert looked to be in his fifties, and he was looking very carefully.

"Elder Teng, what do you think the market price should be?" Mr Molson asked.

"About 600 thousand yuan." If the gold on it didn't drop, it should be worth at least a million yuan. "Yes," the expert said.

Six hundred thousand!

Jiang Chao's heart started to thump loudly. This kind of price completely exceeded his expectations.

After the expert had finished his description of the market, his gaze returned to the iron saddle.

The expert wore white gloves, and when he picked up the iron saddle, he was as careful as a medical examiner of Criminal Investigation Technology Section.

"How strange, to actually be able to find such a thing." The expert was surprised.

"This thing looks like an ancient Chinese torture instrument used to punish women." Molson interrupted.

"That's right, this is a donkey, but it's made of iron. This thing originated from the Song Dynasty, and was used as a torture device against unchaste women, the Song Dynasty's historical materials < Three Dynasties Alliance of the Northern Alliance >, Yuan Mei's < Wordless Son >, and even one of the four great books < Legend of the Water Margin > all mentioned this kind of thing. Some of the donkeys were unearthed, but they are now kept in the national museum." The expert said.

"Then what time was this one?" Molson asked.

"This is the real item, and it should be a little earlier than the Bodhisattva statue. At the bottom of this donkey were the words "Tan Zhou Prefecture System", while Changsha served as the Tan Prefecture Institution in the Song Dynasty. " The expert explained.

This expert seemed to be very knowledgeable, Jiang Chao admired his insight.

Molson was more concerned with the market's valuation.

"Elder Teng, what is the market price for this item?"

"This type of torture device, it's basically never been auctioned in Auction, but this torture device has an outstanding effect on Chinese ancient criminal laws, as well as on the definition of a woman's position. It's a conservative estimate of 1 million yuan, you can try selling it in Auction." the expert suggested.

"Jiang, thank you for bringing these two items here. If you want to sell them, we can trade them right now."

"The first bronze Buddha statue, according to Elder Teng's estimate, I will give you six hundred thousand. As for the second donkey torture device, I will give you five hundred thousand on behalf of the Pauli Auction House. I will buy it for 1.5 million. What do you think?" Mr Molson suggested.

If not for Hu Xueying's sound transmission to Jiang Chao, Jiang Chao would have stood up and agreed.

One was worth 600 thousand, one was worth 1.5 million, and in total, it was 2.1 million. As long as Jiang Chao agreed to it, he would become a millionaire after leaving this place.

But regarding this kind of price, Hu Xueying wasn't as inexperienced as Jiang Chao, so she spoke up in's place: "The first six hundred thousand, can be sold to Bao Li directly, but Mr Molson, the second donkey punishment device, we want to auction it off in an auction house's Auction, is that alright?"

"If we were to place it in the Auction s, the starting bid would be lower than the usual price by half."

"And if it is sold cheaply, our Paulie Auction House will not be held responsible." In order for the two parties to have a better basis for cooperation, Molson said these unsightly words beforehand.
