Just when Zhang Yong had not figured it out, Chen Xi had already taken out the last envelope.

At this time, except for Zhang Yong, no one has focused on the last envelope, because in their opinion, it is impossible for anyone to bid higher than Zhang Yong... This is a simple logic, that is, no one among the people present can afford a high-priced code of 30,000 taels of silver.

Chen Xi read out directly: "The final bid...100,000 taels."

When Chen Xi finished reading the book, everyone present fell silent. At this time, they were no longer surprised, but were completely confused, and were completely unexpected about such numbers.

Zhang Yong seemed to have been beaten up by someone, and stood there for a long time without coming back to his senses. In the end, Xiao Tiaozi, who was still unrelated to him, asked, "Mr. Shen, are you reading it wrong? Someone paid 100,000 taels?"

Chen Xi nodded and said, "Yes."

"Who is so rich?"

Dai Yi left the line, turned to look at the people present, and asked loudly, "Now that the bid has been completed, it should be made public, right? Who is it, please stand up, so that I can wait and see who the new eunuch in the seal is..."

Zhang Yong and Li Xing also looked around the scene.

At this moment, Li Xing didn't compete with Zhang Yong anymore because they had become grasshoppers on the same rope, and no one could jump up, and they were obviously defeated.

But none of the people present came out to admit that it was his own actions. In the end, the person who was stared at it became Li Rong and Xiao Guozi, who were the most suspicious.

"What do we do in our family? Our family doesn't have that much money."

Li Rong touched his smooth chin and said sharply.

Xiao Guozi also stood up: "Our family said that if we don't participate, we will definitely keep our promise... What does this bid have to do with our family?"

Suddenly Gao Feng asked, "Mr. Shen, it's not right. There are a total of eighteen people coming today. Except for the old man who did not participate, it should be seventeen letters. Why are there eighteen letters? "

The others were not as thoughtful as Gao Feng. He immediately went to count the number of envelopes when he heard this. Seeing that it was true, they all looked at Chen Xi. They suddenly realized that it was probably Chen Xi who was doing something behind his back.

Chen Xi said seriously: "Everyone, there is something that must be explained to you. After the box is locked, before I enter the yard, another bottom of the bid has been put into it in advance."

"Who is it? Isn't this intention to make trouble? Lord Shen, do you dare to say fairness, openness and justice like this? You are clearly playing tricks on us!"

Li Xing shouted in anger.

Zhang Yong was a little confused. He suddenly remembered the scene when Chen Xi sent someone to say hello to him in the early morning. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only listen to Li Xing's loud condemnation of Chen Xi first.

Chen Xi bowed toward the leopard room, and then said, "It was His Majesty who sent the guards around him to send this letter... What do you think?"

When they heard that it was Zhu Houzhao who did it, everyone present kept silent. They understood that they were indeed being fooled, but the person who fooled them was not Chen Xi, but Zhu Houzhao, the master, who was also the initiator of the selection.

Li Xing and others were thinking: "The rules were made by Your Majesty, but he sent someone to pay a price of 100,000 taels. Anyway, they were given to him by filial piety. He said that as much as possible, who can pay such a high price? As a result, we were all fooled, the money was confiscated, and the seat printed by the Sili Supervisor was still given to him whoever he wanted..."

"What!?"

Xiao Guozi asked in surprise: "It was sent by Your Majesty? That's right. You don't have to be so nervous at all. Your Majesty bid is a good thing..."

The most lost person present was Li Xing and Zhang Yong, but now he has become a little knives. He feels that he may be in trouble.

A very simple truth is that since the emperor set up a bureau to cheat all the eunuchs present, he naturally needs to get benefits. Xiao Tiaozi was cheating on him and not only did he not bribe Chen Xi as Zhu Houzhao's instructions, but he did not even give the bid for the bid. It seemed that he had saved money, but in fact he offended Zhu Houzhao, who was in charge of the banker.

Xiao Guozi's biggest reliance is the emperor's trust. Now it means that he has set up a dealer and turns around and it will be time for Zhu Houzhao to deal with him.

Li Xing glanced at Zhang Yong, flattened his mouth disdainfully, and sneered: "Eunuch Zhang, it seems that you are just a waste of money. We all have the same fate."

Dai Yi walked up to Chenxi and asked, "Mr. Shen, Your Majesty has paid such a price, and he didn't say anything else? Who will the position of the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor?"

Chen Xi's words were once again unexpected to everyone: "Although this letter was sent by Your Majesty, it was not written by Your Majesty, but was handed over by Your Majesty... From the beginning, the rules have been set, and all deacons can participate in the selection of the seal of the ritual supervisor..."

Dai Yi asked in surprise: "Apart from the people present, are there other people? Could it be..."

When Dai Yi was frightened, many people present had not yet realized who they would be, but at this time Chen Xi had turned the envelope over to relieve everyone's doubts.

The two words "Zhang Yuan" were written on the front of the envelope, and everyone present was stunned.

Xiao Zhuozi exclaimed in a flash: "Mr. Shen, how could this be... How could it be Eunuch Zhang? He... wasn't he sent to guard the imperial tomb by His Majesty?"

Gao Feng said: "Can't you have to pay money if you guard the imperial tomb? Eunuch Zhang used to be very powerful. There were countless people who gave him gifts from the center to the ground. The money he had accumulated was probably the most among so many deacons in the palace... Thinking about the fact that Eunuch Liu had only been in power for a few years, he had accumulated so much wealth, and Eunuch Zhang probably wouldn't be missing... Such a competition is simply unfair. Who can bid higher than Eunuch Zhang?"

As soon as he came out, Gao Feng no longer dared to call Zhang Yuan's name directly. It was obvious that he thought of Zhang Yuan's arrogance in front of Zhu Houzhao, and he was a little timid for a moment.

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific reason... I wanted to rest at home for a few months, but Your Majesty sent an imperial edict. I had no choice but to act as the notary. I don't know what happened in the middle. According to the rules, Zhang Yuan's bid is reasonable. Even if it is transferred by Your Majesty, the actual silver he paid will still be based on in the end. If he can't get 100,000 taels of silver, this bid will not count."

Xiao Guozi said angrily: "Since someone dares to pay this price, it means he is very sure to take out the money..."

The people present were discouraged and went around and all the problems suddenly returned to the starting point. A strong person who had already left the public's vision suddenly came back, and it was so sudden that it caught people off guard.

It would be fine if Zhang Yuan just sent someone to give him a bid, but the key point was sent by the emperor himself, which means that even the emperor recognized Zhang Yuan's participation in this bidding, which was not wrong, or Zhu Houzhao was just interested in Zhang Yuan's money and his potential ability to make money.

Xiao Tiaozi looked at Zhang Yong with a full expression of teasing, as if saying, "If you don't listen to good people, see how much you have suffered this time? If you listen to Lord Shen before, why would you cause such a big trouble?"

Zhang Yong was a little angry at this time: "Impossible, how could Zhang Yuan have 100,000 taels of silver? He is at his end and it is absolutely impossible to take out so much silver."

"Shit..."

Li Rong smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhang, you should accept your fate! Whether Eunuch Zhang can afford this money is no longer important now. The most important thing is that he has gained the trust of His Majesty and actually recommended it to Lord Shen himself. It is clearly intended to re-activate it. Do you don't understand this simple truth?"

Everyone present knew it very well, or they thought they were as insightful as they were, and felt that Zhu Houzhao had just set up a plan to become a dealer, and under Zhang Yuan as a guise, they were scrapped off these small retail investors at once.

The rules are set, and the rules are clearly explained. Even the emperor himself is playing according to the rules. But as the dealer, he knows your family's wealth, offers a price you can't afford, and then cleans up you... Your family's wealth is not as good as others, and if you lose under the rules, what kind of temper do you have?

Shen Xidao: "Since this matter has come to an end, I will summarize all the numbers later and submit the results to Your Majesty. According to facts, even if I fulfill my responsibilities."

Gao Feng seemed very nervous: "Mr. Shen, you...you can't just end it like this. You see, I have given you gifts, this time it's like this...you should always say something for me."

Li Xing said: "What did you say? Let Your Majesty not take us money? Why don't you tell Your Majesty that? How much money did you lose? Why don't you look at others? Fortunately, with Eunuch Zhang Yongzhang setting an example for us, we can feel more at ease!"

At this moment, Zhang Yong was the one who suffered the most and was regarded as the biggest sucker. It seemed that the nearly 20,000 taels of silver that Li Xing lost was not worth mentioning.

Zhang Yong stood there, regretting. He not only blamed Zhang Yuan and Shen Xi, but also blamed the emperor, Xiao Taozi and others. He never liked him.

Dai Yi asked, "Mr. Shen, how are you going to report the report?"

Xiao Tiaozi came out to block Shen Xi: "Mr. Shen is just an order to be a notary and is not responsible for doing other things. Mr. Shen said he would follow the truth. Do you still want to pay less money? "

Many people present had this idea. Anyway, these people knew that as long as Shen Xi didn't say it, the matter would not be exposed, and Zhu Houzhao didn't know the situation. In the end, each family could save a lot of money. In this way, the only one who suffered the loss in the end would be the emperor himself.

Shen Xi said: "I will not do anything to deceive the emperor. The specific numbers can only be discussed according to what you have come out. However... I will also ask Your Majesty that Eunuch Zhang Yuan and Eunuch Zhang will pay the 100,000 taels of silver. It is best to return your money in full. As for the money you sent before, I will not accept any documents. I will ask Your Majesty before deciding how to submit it, and maybe it will be returned to each company."

Li Rong shouted, "It's over. Not only did we bid for money, but we didn't even have the batch of gifts given to Lord Shen."

His meaning is very obvious. The money they gave to Shen Xi was likely to be given to Zhu Houzhao. In this way, even Shen Xi was not bad. It was really a waste of money, and all the money was taken into his pocket by Zhu Houzhao.

Zhang Yong looked at Chen Xi, his eyes full of resentment, but with a little begging, the emotions contained were extremely complicated. He was about to come over and talk, but he saw Chen Xi wave his hand:

"Everyone, since the matter has come to an end, then I will go back and write the memorial. Please come back first... wait for the final result!"

Li Xing said: "What are the results to wait? Now that it's like this, is it still necessary to say the result? That guy Zhang Yuan didn't even show his face, and just let him be the boss's supervisor's seal? Who would be willing to do so?"

"I was unwilling to give up and went to tell His Majesty, what are you clamoring here?" Xiao Tiaozi said.

At this time, Xiao Jiezi seemed to be full of confidence, and the people present began to think of a question: "Did Xiao Jiezi know the whole story long ago? That's why he insisted on not giving gifts and not bidding?"

Chen Xi signaled Zhu Hong and then went to the inner courtyard. Zhang Yong hurriedly said, "Please stay with you, Lord Shen."

Chen Xitou didn't reply, leaving a sentence: "The responsibilities of this official have been completed, and many things have been fulfilled. As for the consequences of the matter, it is not up to me to decide... If you refuse to leave, you can stay in the front yard, but please don't disturb the peace of Chen's mansion!"

Chen Xi issued an order to expel guests. Even if the eunuch present was unwilling to give up, he knew that there was no point in staying.

Even Zhang Yong felt that the possibility of recovering the loss was slim, because he understood that even if Chen Xi would lower his quotation number, the eunuchs would definitely report this to Zhu Houzhao, and neither of them would be able to get out of touch. So Chen Xi would definitely not help him. Since he chose a fair, just and open way, he would have to bear the consequences.

After Chen Xi left the front yard, most eunuchs could still leave with a relatively relaxed attitude. After all, they had little loss. Dai Yi was in a bad mood and was as if everyone in the world owed him money. But suddenly he felt relaxed and returned to his kind-hearted and kind-hearted attitude as an old man. It seemed that Zhang Yuan's return was very beneficial to him.

Zhang Yong left the Shen family gate with frustration, loss, and resentment. He looked back and saw that Xiao Taozi was being rushed by others and was being asked about it. Obviously, people wanted to know whether Xiao Taozi had learned the news in advance.

The reason why there is such suspicion is entirely based on the fact that Xiaozhuozi did not give gifts or bids. They would naturally think that Xiaozhuozi received news that Zhang Yuan was going to pay a high price in advance.

But I didn't know that Xiao Guozi was also very upset at this time, and even didn't want to leave, because Xiao Guozi wanted to pay some money from Shen Xi so as not to be liquidated by Zhu Houzhao.

"Why haven't Eunuch Zhang left yet? Do you want to stay and meet Lord Shen alone?"

Seeing that Zhang Yong was wandering, Li Rong walked over with a smile, with a bit of mocking in his tone, "Even if Lord Shen is willing to help, it will be useless. Who made this matter known to everyone? Eunuch Zhang should hurry back and prepare more than 30,000 taels of silver."

"snort!"

Zhang Yong snorted lightly and turned his head away and was invisible.

Li Rong shook his head and headed towards his carriage.

Zhang Yong did not plan to go back to Shen's mansion again. He was waiting for Xiao Tiaozi to come out. When Xiao Tiaozi approached, he walked over. Xiao Tiaozi was still talking to Li Xing and Wei Bin, but the two had to let them aside.

"Grandpa, Eunuch Zhang, I've said goodbye."

Li Xing said hello first and pulled away, as if he had not suffered much loss today, and seemed to be disdainful of the lost money, but in Zhang Yong's opinion, Li Xing was now just a stubborn person.

After everyone left, Zhang Yongcai stared at Xiao Tuozi and asked, "Duoshi Tiao, you won't say that this matter has nothing to do with you, right?"

Xiao Zhuozi said angrily: "Okay, Zhang Yong, you still doubt what our family has done... If our family had known that all this was arranged by His Majesty, they would not have chosen to withdraw from the election. Now, when His Majesty turned around, his Majesty would have to check how much money each of them gave. If we knew that our family had not paid a penny, wouldn't it be punished by His Majesty?"

Zhang Yong was still angry, but after thinking about Xiao Guozi's words, he suddenly felt that the other party should be innocent and everyone understood the truth. This is Zhu Houzhao's plot against these eunuchs. Xiao Guozi could not have learned the news in advance, otherwise he would not have done such unselfish things.

Xiao Zhuozi sighed and said, "I regret not not listening to Lord Shen at that time. Did he think of his old love or helped you, telling you that you can't pay a high price, but you can just offer more than 30,000 taels of silver... Where did you come from the extra money?"

Zhang Yong replied in frustration: "Borrowed."

Xiao Guozi said in surprise: "You borrowed 20,000 taels of silver at a time? Where did you borrow it? You haven't even got the Sili Supervisor's seal now, why should you pay it back? Even if you lose everything, you can't pay it back, right?"

Zhang Yong said with a dark face: "It's not your turn to take care of our family's affairs."

Xiao Tiaozi hummed twice: "Do you think our family wants to take care of it? Don't want to get a penny from our family. I had promised to give you three thousand taels before. That was based on Lord Shen's agreement to cooperate with us. Now our family's three thousand taels don't want to take away!"

"you……"
