The black market of the Badu Mountains is located in a place called Spider Mountain, it is said that the roads here are intertwined, like spider webs, if you don't know the way to outsiders, it is very easy to "get lost", so whether buyers or sellers, you have to hire a guide to enter here, the employment fee of the guide is expensive, it costs 2 taels of silver, but it can ensure the safety of the road, which is very important for entering the mountain.

The hiring of guides does not have to be picked by themselves, and the post station in the mountain pass will naturally be distributed, these guides are actually bandits on the mountain, but now they don't do such hard things as robbery, and they can collect money with them, saving trouble and effort.

The one who took Fang Ling and the others into the mountain was a middle-aged man in his thirties, who seemed to have lived a rich life for a long time, with a fat head and big ears, especially his shy belly, which was afraid that he would hang down to his legs, and he could scrape a bucket of oil with a random scrape.

The fat-headed guide rode a short pony, walking slowly in front, still humming a little song in the mountains, Fang Ling drove the horse forward, walked side by side with him, and asked with a smile: "Big brother, is your name?"

As early as when the fat-headed guide saw this group of people, he knew that it must be the son of an official family, a child of the Wang family, or something like that, otherwise he would never be able to cultivate such a temperament, let alone such a group of majestic followers, especially those two beauties who are like flowers and jade, they are simply not as beautiful as mortals, and they can kill people at a glance.

You must know that whether it is the son of an official family or a child of a wang family, they all look down on bandits in their hearts, and they only come to this black market as a place for fun.

For the thieves, they don't necessarily look down on these rich children, after all, many of them have the reputation of their ancestors, and in fact, they don't necessarily know how rich they are, and many of them just come to the black market to see the excitement.

Seeing this temperamental young man walking to his side and taking the initiative to ask, the fat-headed guide couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said in a calm tone: "My surname is She, and my single name is a biao character." ”

"It turned out to be Brother She, looking at Brother She's rich appearance, being a guide in this mountain should also be a fat water errand, right?" Fang Ling said with a smile.

She Biao was called by Fang Ling's eldest brother, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, although the money is rich now, but his identity and status are still bandits, and those who can see him are other bandits, and now he is called the eldest brother by such a young man from the prestigious clan, he seems to have a Buddha's light on his face, and his face is not so stiff, he coughed lightly, and said proudly: "Although this guide is not a fat and water errand, but at the end of the year, Yinliang can still earn a lot." To be honest, it's no worse than the small shopkeepers outside. ”

Fang Ling 'touched' his mind clearly, from the changes in the expression of the other party in these three words, he had roughly analyzed the weakness of this person's character, he pretended to be surprised and said: "This trip to the mountain is only an hour, and when you go to the mountain, you can take people out of the mountain, and it is another business, five or six times a day, then you can earn a full dozen taels of silver, and you won't have an income of three hundred taels of silver in a month, this is not considered a fat difference?"

Seeing the young man's unexpected expression, She Biao was a little proud on his face, you know, like the average county official's monthly salary is only a few taels of silver, and the average small businessman can earn dozens of taels a month, which is also good, like this month can earn more than three hundred taels, that is also a businessman with a certain industry, and here every day to bring people into and out of the mountains can earn so much, it will indeed make people envious, he naturally smiled: " No matter what work we do in the black market, there will be a lot of silver flowing into our hands, so a few hundred taels of silver a month is nothing here, but if you want to make real money, you can only do it in the inner city. ”

"Inner city?" Fang Ling wondered.

She Biao smiled and said, "It seems that Childe is here for the first time, and he doesn't even know about the inner city." ”

Fang Ling said sincerely: "It's the first time I've come, so I also asked Brother She to help guide the 'maze'." ”

She Biao felt a little more proud, cleared his throat, and raised his voice a little before saying: "Our Badu Mountain Black Market is built on Spider Mountain, it looks like a city, and at night it is full of lights." However, the city is divided into two parts ♀, the outer city and the inner city, and the part of the city built on the mountainside and below, any buyer and seller can trade here, but the inner city is different, and any buyer who wants to enter the inner city must first pay a fee of five hundred taels of silver. ”

"Five hundred taels of silver?" Fang Ling said in surprise, "Such a high entrance fee is not something ordinary people can afford." ”

She Biao smiled arrogantly: "Of course, the one who can really get into the inner city is a rich man with a lot of money, and the five hundred silver is expensive, but in fact it is not a loss." ”

"Could it be that the items sold in the inner city are also different from those in the outer city?" Fang Ling pondered.

She Biao didn't expect the young man to be so smart, so he laughed and said: "Gongzi's guess is true, buyers need to pay five hundred taels of silver to enter the inner city, and sellers don't need to pay silver taels to enter the city, but the value of the registered sales items is at least more than one thousand taels of silver!"

Fang Ling was not too surprised, but confirmed his guess, the price of items in the black market trade was originally lower than the market price, that is to say, if you buy an item of one thousand taels of silver here, you can sell it on the market at least two or three hundred taels or even higher, so although five hundred taels of silver is a hurdle, if you have strong funds and unique vision, then you can buy a suitable item and sell it, I am afraid that this entry fee is only a fraction of the profit.

He had already made a judgment before coming to the black market, if he wanted to slowly contact the characters in the black market, collect all kinds of information, and then screen out the characters who might be related to Tsing Yi Fang, he was afraid that it would not necessarily take a month or two to rely on the dozen or so guards in Lubei.

Of course, if he is lucky, maybe ten days and a half months can be effective, but Fang Ling has never relied on luck, he has always believed that the most reliable strategy after careful calculation is the most reliable, so from the beginning, he has to start from the top and find reliable information from important people in the black market.

He sighed and said, "This inner and outer city is indeed uniquely conceived, and it seems that there are many talented people under the mountain lord." ”

The entire Badu Mountain Range is in the hands of a gang of bandits called the Badu Bandits, in collusion with the army, after the establishment of the black market, the entire bandit team also changed its name, the original bandit leader She Haoyang called himself the Badu Mountain Lord, and gave his subordinates also sealed positions, which seemed more formal.

As if this praise was himself, She Biao said with great honor: "Childe's words are right, don't look at our Badu Mountain are all bandits, this is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, but when it comes to capable people, the most powerful is the most valued account man Jiang Zifu." ”

"Being able to manage such a large black market account, it seems that this person does have some level. Fang Ling said.

She Biao said with a smile: "Of course, Mr. Jiang used to teach in a private school, but he got into a lawsuit for his life, and he had to fall into the grass, and later he was valued by our mountain master, so he made a black market account, and calculated the entire black market account clearly, how much is sold every day, how much surplus, it is not leaky." ”

Fang Ling pretended to be suspicious and said: "However, I came here along the way, and I saw many buyers and sellers entering the mountain with many masters. ”

She Biao laughed, waved his hand and said: " Childe is too worried, this point the mountain lord can have prepared for a long time ∽ The first entrance fee of five hundred taels is not that the buyer can bring any number of people in, where there are more than a certain number of people, each of the extra needs to pay five hundred taels of silver, secondly, there are many guards on the mountain who are highly cultivated, and as early as the establishment of the black market, the mountain lord invited a senior master who is good at the secret art of the mechanism, and set up many organs in the entire mountain lord's mansion, especially in important places like the tent, the doors are all organ doors, if you don't open it with a key, it will immediately trigger the mechanism。 ”

Hearing this, Fang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, it was okay to limit the number of people, but this Mountain Lord's Mansion was so troublesome, and he actually set up various organs, in this way, it would be a big trouble for himself, after all, although his cultivation has reached the stable period of the Qi Realm, there is no guarantee that he will not touch the mechanism when he sneaks into the Mountain Lord's Mansion, in case he startles the snake, it will be troublesome.

Turning the last hill, the Spider Mountain appeared in view, as the name suggests, the whole mountain is not very high, but it is very large, plus the eight separated transitional foothills, like a giant spider.

There are scattered dwellings at the bottom of the mountainside, and the top of the hill is surrounded by a wall, and it is impossible to see the inner city from below.

When She Biao came here, he also subconsciously glanced at the top of the mountain, and there was obviously a bit of admiration in his eyes.

Fang Ling didn't let go of his eyes, and from the conversation, he also learned that if he wanted to enter the inner city, even a thief would need to pay a fee of five hundred taels to enter the city, which was also a big bet for a lower-level thief who only earned more than three hundred taels in a month.

What's more, in order to make a profit in the inner city, in addition to sufficient funds, you also need considerable eyesight, because not everything can be taken out of it immediately, and if you can't get rid of it in a short time, it will cause a backlog of funds, which is also unthinkable for low-level thieves who are not strong in funds.

Therefore, people like She Biao, who can only be guides outside the mountain, have never entered the inner city.

However, although he is only a low-level bandit, he is a part of the bandit after all, and if he is enveloped well, he can serve as an important eyes and ears.
