Chapter 235: Black Market
Liu Xuan also didn't know much about the black market, after all, he had never been to that place himself. However, as Dr. Xu said, he is not very worried about how difficult it will be to block the water and cover the soil when the time comes.
The next day, Liu Xuan drove Dr. Xu on the road with a dagger, a knife, and a few small gold nuggets. In fact, in the past few times, for the underground boxing match and Zhu'er, everyone often goes back and forth between several cities, and they are very familiar with these routes.
Ah Meng also asked Liu Xuan why he couldn't just stay near the Gangster Hotel. Liu Xuan smiled and said, can you do everything in one place?
It turns out that Liu Xuan is right, although the incident happened in Zhongzhou, but not everyone was in Zhongzhou. Moreover, I don't know how many people were involved in this matter, and now, aren't they on their way to the housing market?
After arriving at the housing market, the sky was still bright, and Dr. Xu said that they could eat something outside first. After all, you can't see the black market until night.
"This black market is like a night market, it only exists at night. Liu Xuan quipped.
"After all, they are all trading things that can't be on the table, so naturally they can't be traded in broad daylight. After dark, we will naturally be able to find the black market. ”
Liu Xuan followed Dr. Xu into a restaurant, which looked like a fly restaurant on the side of the street. Liu Xuan said that he could take Dr. Xu to eat some better food, and they were not short of money. But Dr. Xu insisted on eating here, and Liu Xuan had to sit down.
It doesn't matter what he eats, Liu Xuan has never been very particular about eating, but this time he is not alone outside. Since he wants to trouble Dr. Xu, he must let the other party eat better.
"Liu Xuan, we're not here to eat, we mainly want to hear if there will be any discussion here. Dr. Xu explained.
Liu Xuan nodded, and after they sat down, they saw that there were indeed many strangely dressed people around them. Here, many people are not taboo about anything, and the management of the housing market is also very easy, as long as you don't break the law, almost no one will care what you do.
Liu Xuan felt that now it was like an annual martial arts master, with masters from all walks of life gathering. Each gang walked the streets in distinctive clothes, and no one cared. It is said that this is a characteristic of the housing market, which is considered a marginal area, because there is no one to manage it, and everyone is almost random.
"Actually, if it's okay in the future, it's good for people who have retired to live in the housing market. It's nice to have everything, but there's no strife, and people live their lives to their liking. For example, in many places, wearing a special point will be called a fancy dress, and if you don't have enough courage, you don't dare. ”
That said, but these freedoms in the housing market do not mean that they are very good. It's like a kite, if you want it to be windy, you have to keep putting a long line, and in the end, the line is gone, do you just cut it or just put it like that? The housing market has always been less developed than other cities, and safety here is also a problem. ”
"I don't think it's safe, it looks good. Along the way, we met a lot of people, but I don't think they have any malice. Or will everyone's true masks be revealed when they arrive at the black market?"
"You guessed it. Many people look like ordinary people, and when you get to the black market, you will really know if they are humans or ghosts. ”
"Is it because of the exchange or the news you want to get?" Liu Xuan guessed.
"Almost, in the black market, everyone has nothing to hide. Everyone is wearing a mask, no one knows who you are and no one cares who you are. As long as you have a request and can afford to pay for it, then someone will help you solve your business. ”
Liu Xuan thought about it and felt that it was similar to the situation he imagined. Such a black market is always full of mystery, but no one knows how much darkness lies in it. I've been in this situation before, but it's generally easy to accept what I'm exchanging.
For example, this time, what they wanted to inquire about was Yin Yidao's situation. But this person has long retired from the rivers and lakes, and even if he is alive, no one can ensure his news. Moreover, if Yin Yidao really takes on the gangster's case, it is estimated that the price of the exchange is not small.
Although the restaurant doesn't look very good, the food tastes good. Liu Xuan was eating and drinking drinks, he had always wanted to drink, but it was even more impossible for Dr. Xu to let him get drunk when he looked at him.
At this time, someone next to him said while drinking wine: "I think ah, tonight must be very lively, I heard that some time ago there was a big man in the black market, but unfortunately I came late and didn't have a chance to see it." However, I heard that the recent black market is not easy, and the task is not simple, maybe something big is really going to happen. ”
Another man dressed in yellow cedar said: "Brother Zhang is really lonely and unheard, he only knows big people. I can tell you clearly, it is the ronin who shook the rivers and lakes back then, Yin Yidao. He is a great character, both black and white are afraid of this person, and he was a powerful figure back then. ”
"I know this ronin, is he still alive, that age is too old, isn't such a senior retired, how can he still take the task for this commission?"
"Who knows? But someone did see him last time. If it weren't for the fact that they were from the same gang as me, I don't think the man would have told me about it. Most of the people who know about it are spread through the gossip of the various gangs. You also know that no one in the black market will discuss this in the open. ”
"I don't know if this ronin will come tonight, I heard that a lot of things have happened in the imperial capital of Zhongzhou recently. Several of the world's top gangster organizations have gathered for the off-the-ground boxing match, and if the ronin is here for this, then it is really something to see. ”
"What do you think? Unless he has a bad brain, he will never participate. He is not a person who is short of money, besides, although Yin Yidao's martial arts are very high, everyone in the underground boxing competition is ruthless. Yin Yidao is at that age, who knows if he can withstand such a big impact. Over the years, there have been many masters, and he is not necessarily a master in boxing. ”
"This is also true, the fighters in the boxing competition are generally more power-type, and this Yin Yidao obviously does not belong to this category. In addition, he is very old, if he has not escaped the injury, it is difficult to say whether he can leave the arena alive. The fame of the first half of his life was there, and there was no need for him to participate in such competitions at all. ”
"Brother, you told me a piece of news so righteously, then I will also tell you one as an exchange. I arrived here a few days in advance to see my brother-in-law, who was originally from Hongmen in the United States, and said that he had come here for business, but he would not tell me what business was. ”
"What? The American Hongmen is also here? I guess I want to find something on the black market. It's also strange to say, their underground boxing match has been postponed temporarily, and I don't know what happened. ”
"What else can happen, saying that the young master has an accident, and there is more than one organization. Although these are all secrets within the gangsters, there are many people everywhere, and as long as you don't kill everyone you come into contact with, more people will always know. ”
Before the two could continue, there was an explosion on the side of the street. Many people ran out directly to see the excitement, Liu Xuan and Dr. Xu sat and continued to eat, and then turned around and left from the opposite place.
There are so many people in this city every day, and there are both black and white, even if something happens, it's not surprising. Not to mention that it's just a small explosion, who knows what the hell is playing tricks, this kind of thing can't attract their ideas yet. Anyway, if there is something big, someone will always say it.
In the restaurant, after listening to the two people chatting, Liu Xuan felt that the black market must be very lively tonight, at least in addition to the matter about Yin Yidao, they should also be able to hear some news about the gang. If the people from Hongmen appeared, would there be anyone from other gangster organizations?
In order to check and balance each other, organizations should be suspicious of each other. If these people arrived a long time in advance, it means that they were looking for something, or they had the intention to do something in this boxing match.
Liu Xuan directly opened a room to rest, and it was not until it was dark that the two of them went out together. Sure enough, just like Dr. Xu said, at night, you will know where the black market is.
The whole street, closed almost before dark, followed by a faint light, eventually reached the position of the black market. On the whole, the whole thing is no different from an open-air night market.
They searched all the way, and Dr. Xu said that the person he was looking for knew that the tent had a certain smell of herbs. They just had to follow the smell of herbs to find it. They walked all the way, and Liu Xuan saw that there was even a woman who knew at a glance that it was a foreign woman and walked directly into the tent next to him.
Although the woman was wearing a long skirt and a veil covering her face, it was obvious that her eyes were so big and deep, and her curly hair of different colors looked like a foreigner.
It's just that Liu Xuan thinks it's a strange person, when the black market is popular in foreign countries, and he doesn't know if the woman knows the rules of the black market, he always feels that what a woman asks for is a price she can't afford.
Liu Xuan followed Dr. Xu all the way and quickly found the tent. After entering, Liu Xuan saw that the other party was a big beard, and most of the area of his face was occupied by a beard.
"This brother, we want to inquire about someone. Liu Xuan said politely to the bearded man.
The bearded man didn't speak, just waved his hand and motioned for them to sit.
Liu Xuan continued: "Yin Yidao, this person should still be alive, right? We want to know where he is now?"
Hearing this name, the bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then stroked his beard. "The price of this person you are asking is very special. ”
Liu Xuan took out a gold nugget without knowing it, and the other party shook his head. "I don't want gold nuggets, I want a bead for this news. If you can find the beads, I'll have a message for you. Here is a photo of the beads. ”
As he spoke, the bearded man directly took out a photo and handed it to Liu Xuan. The beads on it are not special beads, but the luster is good, and it feels like there shouldn't be a gold nugget worth it, Liu Xuan didn't understand why he wanted this.
"So you can't tell us anything right now?"
"I can say that halfway, Yin Yidao is still alive. And he is closely related to the things you care about, but you will not find out easily, and I happen to know the reason why he retired and came out. You can pay a deposit and I'll give you back the beads and tell you the news. ”
Doctor Xu nodded to Liu Xuan, and Liu Xuan had to give the other party a gold nugget. Although the other party doesn't seem to be rare, after all, it's a valuable object, and it's not too much of a loss.
After leaving the black market, Liu Xuan had been observing the photo, and he didn't understand why the bearded man wanted this ordinary-looking bead.
I didn't know the bead myself, and I didn't know where to look for it. There is still a week left before the end of the black market this time, and Liu Xuan has no clue.
