Yan Hong looked at me with a wooden expression, and said slowly: "In the dark compartment under the head of the bed, a total of three hundred and fifty-four taels and four dimes and twenty cents"

I breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that it had really happened, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know where the black market in the city is?"

Yan Hong didn't answer, just looked at me blankly, I was worried about whether my intuition was out of order this time, so I heard her say: "Xu Lai Tea Shop on Baixia Street in Jiangning?"

"Tea shop?" I didn't expect, "how can a tea shop be a black market?"

"This tea shop is ostensibly engaged in tea business, but it is actually the entrance to the black market, and it takes ten taels of silver to buy road wealth to enter the black market through the tea market."

After listening to Yan Hong's words, I felt a little relieved in my heart, and it seemed that my intuition was still very accurate, so I quickly asked, "How do you know?

"Yes, Zhang Wu, the concubine's guest, is a small boss of the black market Cailai gambling house, and he told the concubine."

Hearing this, the breath I was holding was completely relieved.

Sure enough, if it weren't for someone who knew the door, who would have thought that a tea shop would be the entrance to the black market.

I was just about to ask Xue'er to put away the spell, but I remembered one more thing, I looked at the wooden blush, and asked softly, "How old are you? How long have you been in this building? Have you ever thought about leaving?"

Listening to my words, although the expression on Yan Hong's face was still dull, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, "This year is nineteen, and I have been here for five years, I want to leave"

Looking at this woman with tears in her eyes despite being controlled, I felt a little sad in my heart.

Women in the new era are still inevitably limited by gender, not to mention that in this feudal era, their fate is more like duckweed, floating away.

I took twenty taels of silver and put it in Yan Hong's hand, and beckoned Shang Xue'er out of the room.

The warbler song and swallow dance downstairs are not lively, and the lights of Qinhuai are shining ten miles outside the building, and the nightlife of Nanjing has begun.

"Sister, where are we going now?" Cher looked at me after withdrawing her spell, "Are you going to that black market?"

I nodded, although it was really risky to go to the black market at this time, but fortunately, Xue'er and I are not really weak women, as long as we don't encounter demons and monsters with advanced cultivation, we should still be able to deal with it.

Looking up at the bright moon overhead, the veins and veins shining between the sky and the earth, I almost know everything that is happening in this era, but I don't know what I will encounter here, what will happen?!

The future is completely unknown to me!

In 1425 AD, although the Ming Dynasty had moved its capital for five years, Nanjing, as the accompanying capital, was still one of the largest cities in the world at that time.

I inquired all the way, and it took nearly 2 hours to find the Xu Lai Tea Shop on Baixia Street in Jiangning, which Yan Hong said.

I took out my watch and looked at the time, it was almost 10 o'clock, most of the shops on the street were closed, only one tavern was still open, and there were only a few drinkers inside. The business of Xu Lai Tea Shop on the corner of the street is good, and in the more than 20 minutes that I observed, there were no less than six or seven people coming and going.

At this point in time, the business of a tea shop is still so good, even if it is not the entrance to the black market, there is a big problem.

"Sister, aren't we going in?"

After listening to Cher's words, I withdrew my gaze and looked at Cher, "Go in, but you need to be invisible"

Xue'er looked at me with an innocent face and asked, "Is it to save ten taels of silver?"

Me: "......"

Although saving money is indeed one reason, this child is also too naïve, I explained: "I can't predict what the situation will be for a while, I am in the light and you are in the dark, if there is any emergency, you and I are better to cooperate!"

Xue'er tilted her head and thought about it, and finally nodded, "Okay"

The voice fell, but the man was gone.

Me: "......"

This kid is too anxious!

"Sister, let's go, don't worry, I will protect you well"

After listening to Xue'er's words, I could only smile helplessly and walk towards the tea.

How to put it, this tea shop is very much like a tea shop from the outside out!

On the left and right sides of the gate hangs a couplet, taken from the Tang Dynasty poet Zheng Yu's "Tea Poem": the tender buds are fragrant and spiritual, and I call the grass in English.

The penmanship is strong and elegant, and it is very much everyone's style.

On the left hand side of the door is a counter, a middle-aged *** behind the counter is making an abacus, looking dressed like a shopkeeper. There was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy standing at the counter, dressed in a gray skit, who was supposed to be a guy running the hall.

When the young man saw me enter the door, he immediately greeted me with a smile and said, "Guest officer, are you looking at tea?

I glanced at the counter, and the middle-aged man hadn't looked at me since I entered the door, which was not the attitude of a businessman.

I smiled at the young man and said, "Then let's take a look at the dragon well you said before the rain!"

The young man grinned, turned sideways and said, "Guest officer, please come here"

I followed the young man to a tall cabinet on the right, and said it was a cabinet, but it was more like a whole wall, on which were dug out pavilions of different sizes, and in the cabinet were placed tea cans of wood or porcelain.

The young man took out a blue and white porcelain jar from the fifth grid on the top and opened it to show me, "Guest officer, look, our batch of dragon wells before the rain are all tender and sharp!"

I took a look, the tea is Longjing is good, but if it is said that it is before the rain, it is a bit foolish.

I smiled and said, "The tea is good, I wonder if there are other good teas?"

The young man rolled his eyes and asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of tea the guest officer wants to buy? black tea, green tea or flower tea?"

"I want to buy black tea, the kind of ten taels and one pound!"

Hearing this, the young man's eyes flashed and he looked towards the counter.

The sound of the abacus that I had been thinking about since I entered the door finally stopped, I hooked my lips and smiled, turned around and walked back to the counter, and took out the ten taels of silver that I had prepared in advance and put it on the edge of the abacus.

The middle-aged man looked at the silver and looked up at me, and I realized that although this man was mediocre, he had a pair of nice eyes, which added a lot to his ordinary appearance.

"What's the matter, the tea in the small shop, are the customers not satisfied?"

Listening to the man's words, I smiled and said, "The tea in your store is good, but the tea I want to buy today is not on the high cabinet, but behind it."

Hearing this, the man's eyes flashed and said, "Even if you want to disappoint the guests, the tea in our store is over there" said and pushed the silver out.

It seems that the door of this black market is not something that can be easily knocked on with silver!

I pushed the silver back and said with a smile: "Why should the shopkeeper be humble, if I didn't know that your store has all the goods, how could I come here in the starry night?!"

This time, the man didn't push the silver out again, and said after a moment's silence: "Then I don't know which regular customer introduced you here?"

I remembered the benefactor mentioned by Yan Hong, so I smiled and said, "Zhang Tou'er of the Cailai Gambling House"

The man's eyebrows were slightly relieved when he heard this, and the heart I was carrying was also a little relieved, and it seemed that this door was knocked open.

"If that is the case, then let the guest please"

The man called the young man, and the young man immediately stepped forward and smiled: "The guest officer, please"

I was about to turn around, but I heard the man's voice say in a low voice: "The guest is going for the first time, and some rules still have to be explained clearly to the guest."

I hurriedly turned to look at the man, there must be some special rules in a black market like this, and if you make a mistake, you may be killed!

"As long as you go in, no one cares about what the guests want to buy and sell, and they should know what to say in the future!"

I nodded hurriedly to show that one of the main reasons why such a black market can survive under the nose of the government is the secrecy work, not only the seller's mouth must be strict, but the buyer's mouth must also be strict.

"On Tuesday, bring a lamp to the guest"

Watching the young man take the lamp, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this door has finally stepped in.

I had barely taken two steps when the tall cabinet containing the tea cans suddenly turned, revealing a secret door that only allowed one person to pass through.

The dark passage is really behind the high cabinet!

Before the Midyear Festival, I followed Zhu Zhu and them to practice Qimen Dunjia, although the time was urgent, and I only learned the skin, but now it seems that I have not learned in vain.

"The next road is dark, this lamp guest has taken it, and remember to put on the mask in a moment. When you go out, just hand over the lights to the boat boss under the bridge, and someone will send the guests out."

It seems that I have recently been on a collision course with these places of interest in the underworld!

Taking the lamp and mask from the little guy's hand, and looking at the secret door, I took a secret breath, pushed the door and walked in.

Although this dark passage can't be compared with Huangquan Road, it is really dark, and there is a strange musty smell, I quickened my pace and walked for about five minutes, and I couldn't help but speak: "Xue'er, are you there?"

"Sister, I'm on your left"

Hearing Xue'er's voice, I felt a lot more relieved, and hurriedly told her what happened next, "If it goes well for a while, you don't need to show up, if there is any emergency, you will reappear, you know?"

"I know, sister, don't worry, I will protect my sister!"

Listening to Xue'er's immature but firm words, I only felt relieved and warm.

In the past few days since I came to this strange time and space, although it was all about what I said and what Xue'er did, if it weren't for Xue'er by my side, I would have been terrified, where would I dare to come to this mixed black market!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say, "Cher, thank you, thank you for being by my side"

"I was going to follow my sister all the time, if it wasn't for that annoying Jade Xuan to provoke before, my sister wouldn't have to suffer so much, and Xue'er wouldn't have been separated from her sister for so long!"

"Who is Jade Xuan?" I have never heard of this person mentioned by Xue'er, whether it is a dream or reality, but listening to Xue'er's meaning, the reason why I am who I am now seems to have a lot to do with this person named Yuxuan!

"The princess of the heavenly realm!

I'm a little confused, and I've never heard of it!

Just as I was about to ask a detailed question, there was a little light in front of me, and it seemed that this dark passage had finally come to an end.

I could only suppress the doubts in my heart for a while, put on my mask, and quicken my pace to walk out.

In my fantasy, the environment of the black market should be dirty, and the people in the black market should also be vicious.

But when I stood on the street, I was amazed by what I saw!
