I've already explained to Luo Jiaoxi about the meeting before, I wonder what else Luo Jiaoxi wants to ask again?"

Pan Shi looked a little helpless, of course, more embarrassed.

And Rosen still smiled and said: "I want to know the specific situation of the day, such as how many glasses of wine Cao Qi had drunk and what food he ate, and what else did you talk about besides being dissatisfied with my promotion to the position of teacher? Did Cao Qi Chang have any disputes with you during this period? Master Pan doesn't have to be nervous, he can say whatever comes to mind, and he should have a few small talk with me." ”

Hearing this, the wry smile on Pan Shi's face was even stronger, and he shook his head and said: "There is no dispute, everyone drank happily that day, and there were a lot of things to talk about during the banquet, most of which were military affairs, and there were some gossip about the Oiran election ceremony in the next few days, the reopening of the ghost market, and the Spring Festival." ”

Of course Oiran Elector and Haruku Rosen knew.

Because both of these things have something to do with him.

But what is a ghost market?

For Rosen's doubts, Pan Shi seemed quite surprised.

"Luo Jiaoxi doesn't know what a ghost market is?"

Rosen couldn't hide it at this time, so he could only nod and say: "I have been in the state capital for a short time, and I don't know a lot of things yet. ”

Hearing this, Pan Shi couldn't help but smile and said, "Also, when the ghost market was opened last time, Luo Jiaoxi hadn't entered the Tao yet. ”

So Rosen understood that this ghost market must be related to the cultivation world.

Sure enough, next, I listened to Pan Shi explain: "Luo Jiaoxi has never participated in the ghost market, he should have seen an ordinary market, right? In fact, this ghost market is equivalent to a market among our cultivators, and most of the things sold in it are some magic tricks, magic weapons, divine weapons and the like, which can be regarded as a circulation market specially opened for casual cultivation. ”

As soon as he said this, Rosen understood it thoroughly.

No wonder!

Before this, in fact, there was always a doubt in Rosen's heart.

It stands to reason that since the Great Liang Kingdom is a country of cultivators, why has he never seen a store closely related to the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of cultivators?

Dongsheng Restaurant is the most well-known restaurant in Xuzhou, but there are no dishes made of exotic beasts in it!

In the Three Uniques of Xicheng, whether it is the shoes of the Chen family or the iron of the Zhao family, in essence, they are all ordinary things, at most they are outstanding in workmanship and skills, and they have nothing to do with the cultivation world.

In addition, Lawson has visited the entire Xuzhou Mansion, and he has never seen a store selling pills or peddling magic weapons.

Now through Pan Shi's explanation, Rosen suddenly had a guess in his heart.

The real wealthy clans, or places where there is a Dao rule, probably have their own unique trading platforms, and maybe there are towns that only accept cultivators for these special groups of people to socialize.

In a regular city such as Xuzhou Mansion, although there are also cultivators stationed there, the surrounding facilities are still mainly for ordinary people.

That's why there's such a thing as a ghost market.

It is used to facilitate the communication and exchange of practitioners, as well as the circulation of goods in a short period of time.

"So, this ghost market is held on a regular basis?"

Pan Shi shook his head and said, "Not really, normally, ghost markets in various places will open before a grand cultivation ceremony is held, such as this year's Spring Festival, but since this is not run by some formal organization, as long as the cultivators from all over the country show such a will, and someone takes the lead in pulling the strings, it can be done, it's just a difference in scale." ”

This answer came as a surprise to Rosen.

Anyone can open this ghost market!

As long as you have enough connections.

Of course, this also shows the survival state of scattered cultivation from another side, which is really difficult......

Otherwise, so many people would have squeezed their heads and wanted to make a gain in the spring.

Rosen nodded, and asked again, "When was the last time you opened a ghost market in our state capital?"

Pan Shi said with a smile: "Actually, it didn't take long, just over a month ago, Miao Zhenren got a vegetarian water fan in the extraterritorial battlefield, and specially opened a black market in our Xuzhou, but the scale is relatively small, probably only more than 100 people participated. ”

Rosen said in his heart that it was a pity, he had not yet entered the Tao at that time, and naturally he had never heard of this black market, let alone had the opportunity to open his eyes.

"Listen to Lord Pan, this black market is going to open again?"

Pan Shi nodded: "The time is tentatively scheduled for five days later, and the place is in Cuiwei Building in Dongcheng." ”

Rosen secretly wrote down this news, and then said, "Then what does Captain Cao Qi think about this black market?"

Pan Shi shrugged his shoulders slightly: "Naturally, there is no opinion, the opening of this black market has always been more beneficial than disadvantageous for our casual cultivation, and Cao Qichang also joked a few words that day, saying that he planned to set up a stall at that time and sell some tatters in the house......"

Rosen laughed twice, feeling that he couldn't seem to ask anything on Pan Shi's side, so he simply got up and said goodbye.

Walking out of Pan's Mansion, Lawson immediately went to meet Xiang Yang and Zhou Qingchen.

According to the list provided by Lawson, Xiang Yang and Zhou Qingchen's work efficiency is quite high, and in less than an hour, all the people on the list have been controlled and arranged in Yihuafang.

As soon as Luo Sen arrived at Yihuafang, he saw Sister Chun swaying the waist of the water snake and greeted her, with a wry smile on her face: "Young Master Luo, although there are not many guests in our building recently, you directly brought so many soldiers in and scared away the few remaining guests, what else can you do in this business......

Rosen waved his hand: "Okay, Sister Chun, don't worry, you will definitely not suffer a loss in this matter, I know it in my heart." ”

Hearing this, Sister Chun suddenly smiled and nodded: "Then since Luo Gongzi said so, I won't be in a hurry." ”

Either how to say that the girls in the Spring Building are all acting schools, look at Sister Chun, the speed of changing her face is even more textbook than a textbook.

After appeasing Sister Chun, Rosen walked into the door with a step, and saw Zhou Qingchen, an old Buxiu hugging a girl, laughing and laughing.

"Ahem. ”

Rosen coughed lightly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, Zhou Qingchen smiled awkwardly, let the girl get off his lap, and then greeted Rosen.

"Luo Jiaoxi. ”

Rosen nodded, and didn't comment on Zhou Qingchen's unscrupulous behavior before, but smiled: "It seems that Lord Zhou is still quite idle, just right, I have another person here, and I need Lord Zhou to bring it over." ”

Zhou Qingchen sneered: "Who else?"

Wang Xuanran. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Qingchen's eyes were slightly stunned: "How can she be implicated in this case......

Rosen shook his head: "I'm not sure for the time being, anyway, you bring someone first, I have something to ask him." ”

Zhou Qingchen couldn't refuse Rosen's order, so he could only nod and say, "Okay." ”

After that, Zhou Qingchen personally took the two out of Yihuafang.

Lawson, on the other hand, turned his head and found Xiang Yang, and did not interrogate the people on the list first, but took Xiang Yang to a private room.

"Commander Xiang, I have some questions here, and I want to check with you. ”

Maybe it was because the shock to Xiang Yang was too great because of the incident that broke into the adjudication division last night, or it could be because Lin Qianjun's attitude was palpitating after that, and Xiang Yang was very polite in the face of Rosen at this time.

Although Luo Jiaoxi asked, Xiang must know everything and say everything. ”

Rosen nodded: "I heard Master Pan say that you flag commanders had a drink together the night before the crime, right?"

"That's right. ”

"During the banquet, did Chief Cao Qi have any conflicts or disputes with others?"

Xiang Yang thought about it slightly, shook his head and said: "No, although everyone didn't have a good time that day, they were happy between the staggering." ”

When Rosen heard the keyword, he immediately asked, "Why don't you go home with all the fun?"

Xiang Yang was stunned, and then explained: "What about this...... The main reason was that Cao Qichang suddenly remembered that there was something at home, so he ended the party early. ”

Well?

Rosen heard clues that he hadn't gotten from Pan Shi.

"So do you remember what you said before Commander Cao left?"

Xiang Yang didn't take the time to think about it this time, but said directly: "At that time, we were talking about the ghost market in five days, and Cao Qichang was still complaining that he had bought the remnants before, hoping to catch the unscrupulous seller in Cuiwei Building this time." ”

Hearing this, Rosen suddenly felt that the whole clue had become more and more complicated.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Xiang Yang rubbed his forehead a little helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "I can't remember exactly what everyone said, about the last ghost market, Zhou Qichang and I didn't gain anything, but Pan Qichang spent a lot of money to buy a set of snow spirit silver needles, at that time, Zhou Qichang also laughed at him, saying that the means of hurting people with hidden weapons are only used by girls, and then ......"

Hearing this, Rosen's face suddenly turned grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Does Pan Qichang know the secret weapon?"

Xiang Yang shook his head: "As far as I know, I don't know, I guess I bought it for collection, I have seen that set of snow spirit silver needles, things are indeed good things, it is better than buying defective products......"

Rosen interrupted Xiang Yang's narration again and asked again, "Did what you just said about Zhou Qichang's mockery of Pan Qichang during the banquet?"

"That's right......" After a pause, Xiang Yang explained: "But this is just a joke between friends, and Captain Pan didn't get angry because of it at that time. ”

Rosen nodded and asked one last question: "So, did Captain Cao decide to leave the table after this conversation?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Yang's eyes were slightly stunned, and he nodded lightly after a while.

That sounds like it is. ”

In an instant, Rosen only felt as if a dense web was woven in his head, and in the righteousness of that network, a light was surging out.

He felt as if he had grasped something, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment.

At this moment, a strong feeling of dizziness hit Rosen's heart, and the world in front of him began to shake.

His dream journey in the country of Daliang has come to an end for the time being.
