Chapter 720: Tooth Extraction.

On the way back, Ye Xing suddenly felt that it was really like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth to get valuable antiques from these officials.

But even so, Ye Xing had to take the risk of pulling him out this time.

Only by getting valuable antiques can more money be raised, and the emperor's personal expedition can be carried out smoothly.

After returning to the Zhongshan Palace, Hua Zhimeng and the others had not yet fallen asleep, they wanted to know what clues Ye Xing had heard, and when Ye Xing told Hua Zhimeng the news he had heard, several of them also felt a little difficult.

Now that the auction venue has been arranged, the only thing missing is antiques.

Ye Xing naturally understood everyone's troubles, he thought about it carefully, and said, "Let's go back to sleep first, and wait until tomorrow to see the situation!" ”

The next day, Ye Xing waited in the Zhongshan Palace, waiting for the officials who came to donate antiques.

Soon, those officials came in droves, holding antiques selected from home in their hands, those antiques are very good, but many of them are not antiques in this Ming Yongle period.

A small teapot, a wine glass, a book of poetry by someone else, blah blah.

Ye Xing looked at these antiques and smiled slightly: "Your Excellency can respond to the emperor's call to donate antiques to raise money for the expedition, it is really my blessing to the Ming Dynasty, I have accepted all these antiques." Ye Xing said and asked Di Xiaojie to write down all these things, and remember who donated everything clearly, and after Di Xiaojie finished remembering, Ye Xing continued to say to those officials: "It's good that you adults can actively respond to the emperor's call, but you are all people with heads and faces in the court, donating these worthless things, it seems that you don't take the emperor's words seriously." ”

Their ministers seemed to have expected Ye Xing to say this, so they hurriedly explained: "We all understand what Lord Ye said, for the sake of the stability of the Ming Dynasty, we also want to contribute to the country and donate valuable antiques, but we are all honest officials, and we really can't take out those precious antiques, so I hope Lord Ye can forgive us." ”

These words were taught to these people by Ji Gang last night, Ye Xing smiled coldly after hearing it, and then continued: "Your lords are very honest and honest, which is very admirable, but some of the style problems of several adults are worth reviewing, for example, last night you ministers gathered to discuss, the emperor hates the most is to form gangs and factions to rely on each other, if the emperor knows about last night's events, he will definitely go to check the ministers, the emperor is decisive and has a great ancestral legacy, so even if you all form a group, The emperor should do you or you, so you ......"

Ye Xing's words were not finished, he believed that these ministers were all smart people, and he must have understood what he meant when he heard him say these words.

Sure enough, when those ministers saw that Ye Xing actually knew about last night's incident, they all became nervous, and then they all said that they would immediately go to the house to look for it again to see if there was anything valuable.

Ye Xing looked at the officials who were leaving one after another, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, like these people don't give them some color to see, they really think that Ye Xing is a person who is easy to bully!

An hour later, those ministers came again, this time the things they brought were very good, and the antiques were also very valuable, which was very in line with Ye Xing's wishes.

Although those ministers were very reluctant, there was no way, who let them have the handle in Ye Xing's hands!

Two days later, Ye Xing and the others raised a lot of antiques, and the auction event also sent a notice to the wealthy businessmen who love antiques across the country, and the event was scheduled to be held the day after tomorrow.

It's just that at this time, there are two things that Ye Xing and the others must do well.

The first thing is to protect the safety of these antiques, and the second thing is that so far, Ji Gang has not sent anyone to deliver any antiques.

This Ji Gang and Ye Xing are already mortal enemies, and it really makes him very reluctant to ask him to give antiques.

Seeing this, Ye Xing had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and said, "It seems that we don't want to go to Jifu!" ”

Going to visit Ji Gang was a very exciting thing for Ye Xing and the others, because they didn't know what situation they would encounter in Ji Mansion.

After reporting his life and sending the name post, the janitor of the Ji Mansion hurriedly ran in.

But after a long time, Ji Gang sent a housekeeper Shanshan to invite them in, which made Di Xiaojie very angry, this Ji Gang was simply too blind.

After coming to the living room, Ji Gang was already waiting, and Ji Gang suddenly showed great enthusiasm after seeing Ye Xing, which made Ye Xing and the others even more cautious, people like Ji Gang are mostly honey-bellied.

"King Daming's visit is really brilliant, but I don't know what King Daming has to do with me?"

Ye Xing saw that Ji Gang asked so directly, and he didn't want to trouble, so he also said directly: "The emperor asked the ministers to donate antiques to raise funds for the expedition, and now the auction is imminent, but the commander has not donated his antiques for a long time, which makes me very anxious, so I have every reason to suspect that the commander does not want me to be stable." ”

After listening to Ye Xing's words, Ji Gang smiled coldly: "King Daming said this, but he was wronged, I have been preparing antiques, I just prepared today, it just happened that King Daming and others came, please take it directly!" ”

As he spoke, the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion had already taken out more than a dozen antiques, Di Xiaojie was still very interested in antiques, and after he saw those antiques, he was very surprised, these are very valuable antiques, and it is really unexpected to donate more than a dozen pieces at once.

This matter is indeed unexpected, Ye Xing looked at those antiques, then at Ji Gang, and finally smiled: "It turns out that the commander has already prepared, then I am really ashamed to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

Ji Gang did not change because of Ye Xing's words, but said in his usual tone: "King Daming is polite, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, now the border crisis, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, I naturally have to contribute, since I can't go to the front line, it is also an honor to be able to help prepare military salaries." ”

Now that Ji Gang has taken out the antiques, Ye Xing and they have nothing to say, so several of them left with the antiques, but after they left, Ye Xing always felt that something was not quite right, it is said that Ji Gang is not so good at talking, does he have any purpose in doing this?

The more Ye Xing thought about it, the more he felt that something was not quite right, and he thought that this Ji Gang was not a good bird, and there must be some conspiracy brewing.
