Chapter 752
In fact, they felt strange just now. There was actually someone who was so bold as to compete with Hosokawa Sawato for a woman in Heian-kyo.
But suddenly, two people were competing with Hosokawa Sawato for the woman, and the matter became complicated.
Before the people in the other private rooms could figure out what was going on, Hosokawa Sawato started bidding again.
"Send three hundred taels of tea and wine to Lord Hosokawa Sawato!"
This time, the offer not only raised the price to three hundred taels, but also directly stated the full name of Hosokawa Sawato.
After hearing this, the other people in the private room immediately understood that Hosokawa Sawato was clearly using his power to bully others.
If someone still makes a bid at this time, it would basically be equivalent to provoking Hosokawa Sawato, which is completely different in nature.
However, just when everyone thought that the matter had ended there, a bid was called out again.
"Send three hundred and one taels of silver worth of refreshments and wine to my master."
That’s right, the one bidding the price this time was not the other private room, but Wei Wu’s.
Adding just a little bit to someone else's bid is a very provocative behavior in itself.
Previously, Wei Wu was added on the basis of another private room, and the spearhead was not directly aimed at Hosokawa Sawato.
But now, Hosokawa Sawato has already revealed his identity, and Wei Wu still dared to bid, and even raised the price in this way.
I'm afraid even Hosokawa Sawato himself didn't expect such a result, so he forgot to continue raising the price.
What’s interesting is that the private room that was just bidding for the price did not continue to speak after Wei Wu made his offer.
The solemn atmosphere remained deadlocked for about seven or eight seconds before Hosokawa Sawato spoke again.
"Five hundred taels of silver, knowing that it belongs to Lord Hosokawa, yet you still dare to argue? Are you deliberately challenging the dignity of the Hosokawa family?"
In the end, Hosokawa Sawato did not overturn the table, but this behavior was basically a blatant threat.
Unfortunately, Wei Wu didn't buy his tricks at all, and even the dog-raising bastard didn't care about his threats.
However, just as the dog-breeding bastard was about to raise the price again, the private room that had been silent just now suddenly made an offer.
"My master wants five hundred taels of silver for tea and wine. Send it over quickly."
Hearing the call from the private room, Wei Wu shook his head and laughed softly.
"The way this guy provoked Hosokawa Sawato is no worse than mine. I'm afraid Hosokawa Sawato will be furious!"
Wei Wu's provocation came after Hosokawa Sawato revealed his identity, and he still shouted out the offer in a manner that was almost humiliating.
However, the people in this private room were deliberately targeting him. They didn't follow other people's quotes and only focused on Hosokawa Sawato.
During a competition for the top courtesan, he encountered two provocative people. How could Hosokawa Sawato not be angry?
But just when he was about to lose his temper, a voice came from the private room that had just quoted a price.
"My master said that bidding is based on one's own ability. This is a place of entertainment, not a place of officialdom. We don't compare who has higher status!"
Hosokawa Sawato, who was about to lose his temper, was stopped by these words and couldn't vent his anger.
It's okay if the act of using power to pressure others is not exposed. Even if a normal person knows about it, he won't point it out to avoid getting into trouble.
But once this matter comes to light, if Hosokawa Sawato continues to do this, he will be looked down upon if it gets out.
As a result, for the sake of his own face, even if Hosokawa Sawato is angry, he cannot vent his anger.
Although he didn't say it out loud, the other people in the private room knew that Hosokawa Sawato was very angry.
These people are not officials, they are basically wealthy businessmen or wealthy families with some assets.
Sensing the gunpowder in the air, they immediately realized that today's competition for the top courtesan had nothing to do with them.
Driven by the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid danger, these people actually wanted to leave, but no one dared to be the first to open the door and leave.
Hosokawa Sawato is very angry right now. If he makes any noise at this time, he might be used as a target for his anger.
Helplessly, these people could only hide in the private room and wait until the three parties reached a conclusion before trying to find a way to leave.
So, amidst the anxiety and restlessness of these people, the sound of bidding continued to be heard from the three private rooms.
When the bid reached seven hundred taels, Wei Wu suddenly remembered something: he didn't seem to have brought that much money.
He was indeed not short of money, but who would carry thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver on him for no reason? Not only was it heavy, but it was also inconvenient.
At present, he only has about 900 taels of silver in his hand, which is specifically used to cover the daily expenses of him and the Wuchang Squad.
If they continued to shout, once the price exceeded nine hundred taels of silver, others would give up and not follow suit.
It would be embarrassing if the madam brought the courtesan to his place but he couldn't pay the bill.
If you go to a brothel without paying, are you still a human being? They work hard to sell themselves, and the money they earn is all hard-earned money!
After all, he is the Marquis of Changle in the Ming Dynasty. Even if he is on the side of the Japanese pirates, he would not do anything for free.
Thinking of this, Wei Wu looked up at everyone and asked in a low voice.
"Do you have any money with you?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire private room seemed to have frozen in time, and everyone's expression was stunned.
It took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses, but looking at Wei Wu and the others, they didn't know how to start the conversation. Finally, Shen Lin stood up.
"Master, we always eat and drink at your expense, and never carry money with us!"
After Shen Lin finished speaking, although the other members of the Wuchang Squad did not say anything, they all had the same expression on their faces as Shen Lin.
Wei Wu didn't know what to say to them as they acted so confidently about eating and drinking for free.
However, just as he was about to ask the dog-raising hybrid, the latter spoke first.
"Woof woof! Master, I give you everything I have. I dare not keep any money for myself!"
At this time, Wei Wu couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't rely on these people and could only put his hopes on the system.
It turned out that the system was more reliable. I found a solution by just taking a quick look in the warehouse.
Just at this moment, Hosokawa Sawato called out the price of 950 taels of silver. Wei Wu waved his hand and said proudly:
"Inugami, name your price! I'll offer 1,500 taels!"
