Although the name of the black market has a "city" name, it is actually just a shop with a courtyard, but this shop is different from other shops in that the shop here is hidden in the yard, just like an ordinary farmhouse compound, and there are no signboards here, the only unusual thing is that this farmhouse compound is located in Liuli Lane, where every inch of land is valuable.

After Fang An entered the black market, he saw a young man lying on a chaise longue with a purple clay pot in his hand and drinking tea under the tree, this young man was the most outstanding broker in Liuli Lane, named Liu Sancai, because he had a dog face, so the familiar guests called him Sangou, and the people in the broker called him "Brother Face", the only special thing was that the foreign shopkeeper of the clock shop in front of the courtyard called him "Mister Liu".

As soon as he saw Fang An coming in, Liu Sancai immediately stood up from the recliner with a purple clay pot in his mouth and greeted, "Hey, Master Fang, I'm here to take care of the small shop business again." ”

Fang An said with a smile: "I said Sangou, you have to count it as a small shop again, there is no big shop in this Liuli Lane that can be handled." ”

Liu Sancai took a sip of tea in the purple clay pot and said proudly: "Master Fang, don't say it, you can say this, although our temple is small, but it can't stand a lot of good things, you look at the six must-live again, the floor is magnificent, from the time of Jiajing Ye to the present, it is just a pickle seller, how many years back and forth on those few things, you look at our small temple, all year round with flowers-like play, as long as you can think of it, there are few that we don't have here." By the way, Master Fang, I almost forgot to ask, what new things are you going to order this time? ”

Fang An lowered his voice slightly: "Six thunderbolts, fifty catties of black sand." Fang An was talking about single-barreled guns and gunpowder, which is the name of the black market.

Hearing Fang An's words, Sangou frowned slightly.

Seeing Sangou's appearance, Fang An asked with a little doubt, "What?" Not even you? ”

Sangou said: "Recently, these things have been strictly investigated by the government, and I dare not put them on my face." I still have the quantity that Fang Ye wants, but the way to buy the goods in the past has been almost broken, and I am afraid that only I can still find it in the whole capital, but now the price has increased more than ten times compared to the past. ”

Fang An said: "The price is not a problem, as long as you have the goods." ”

"Master Fang comes with me."

Fang An followed Sangou into the shop, and the things in the shop were all rare things, even the skateboard that was famous in the capital was also placed here.

The two of them walked around a shelf, the three dogs stopped in front of the shelf, reached out and held a purple clay pot on the shelf, he first turned half a circle to the left, and then turned to the right, only to hear a click, Fang An saw a square green brick not far from his feet moved, revealing a hole in the ground that only allowed one person to pass through.

"Master Fang comes with me, the goods are below."

After speaking, Sangou walked down from the entrance of the cave first, and Fang An followed behind Sangou, but after going down more than ten steps, it was pitch black below, and he couldn't see anything.

The first time Fang An came here, he didn't even know how many steps there were under his feet, he could only slowly probe down with his feet step by step, "Sangou, why don't you even light an oil lamp in such a dark place?" ”

As soon as Fang An finished speaking, he heard a "click" sound above his head, only to see that the square green brick on it had closed back again, and the only light at the entrance of the cave had disappeared.

At this time, Fang An listened to the three dogs below and said: "Oh, my lord, there is all gunpowder hidden here, and then light a kerosene lamp to come down, it is the old birthday star eating arsenic ~ frost - I am impatient." ”

Fang An probed down a few more steps, feeling as if the stone steps had come to an end, and there was a flat ground under his feet, and at this moment, the ground suddenly lit up.

I saw that the three dogs were holding a thumb-sized night pearl in their hands.

Fang An said dissatisfiedly: "I said Sangou, are you deliberately coaxing your master to play?" Why didn't you take it out sooner when you had it? If you accidentally fall out of your place, you won't be spared. ”

Sangou said: "I'm used to walking here, it's almost the same with or without this bead, and even the box fell down together when I came down last time, and I haven't come down to get it." Your body is expensive, but you have to be careful, if it breaks, I can't afford to pay for it. ”

The underground space is about the same size as the shop above, but there are many more things in it than above, and there is a façade on it, which is very neat, and many of them are placed in a mess.

Fang An stood by and watched Sangou rummage through there, probably because the things were too messy, and it was a little difficult for him to find them by himself.

After a while, the three dogs finally gathered six thunderbolt cannons in this underground warehouse, and the black sand was easy to find, and they were lined up by the wall and filled in black clay pots.

After finding all the things, the three dogs said to each other: "Master Fang, the current thunderbolt cannon is fifty taels of silver, fifty catties of black sand is forty taels of silver, and six thunderbolts plus fifty catties of black sand are a total of three hundred and forty taels." But I don't have the skin of this thunderbolt here, if you take it out like this, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get out of Liuli Lane and will be handed over by the government, or you will go to this street first and pull a few feet of silk to wrap it? This black sand is not afraid, and no one can see what it is in a clay pot. ”

Fang An couldn't help but say angrily when he heard this: "Sangou, your business has become bigger, but you have arranged for your Fang Ye to come." ”

Sangou changed his smile and said flatteringly: "Master Fang, don't be angry, isn't this a special situation recently, the government said that it was tight, and you forgot to prepare it at this time?" But if you don't want to bother, I have a skin here, but it's a bit expensive. ”

Fang An said: "I want to see how expensive your skin is." ”

Sangou suddenly showed the face of a profiteer and said, "Well, the small one will be brought to you by the old one." ”

After saying that, Sangou immediately ran to a wooden box, opened the wooden box, and saw that inside the wooden box was a snow-white animal skin with black stripes.

Sangou took out the animal skin and brought it to Fang An and introduced: "Master Fang, take a look, this is the best white tiger skin, the hunter who hunted this white tiger shot this white tiger to death from the eye of this white tiger with an arrow, and the entire skin was intact." As he spoke, Sangou stretched out three fingers and said, "I only sell you four hundred taels." ”

Fang An said: "Sangou, I said that your kid actually moved his brain to your Fang Ye, I think you don't have no skin, but want to sell this white tiger skin to you Fang Ye, right?" The skin is more expensive than the inside, and you are the only one. ”

Sangou said: "Master Fang, you misunderstood, I really don't have a skin to give you an old bag of things." ”

"I think the size of your box for tiger skins is appropriate, why don't I use this box, if you dare to tell your Fang Ye that this box is made of golden silk nanmu, you won't do Fang Ye's business in the future."

"Hey, Master Fang, how can it be a golden silk nanmu, but this is an authentic small leaf red sandalwood, since you have always taken a fancy to it, this box is for you."

Fang An said: "Even if you kid hasn't blackened his heart yet." ”

Sangou said cautiously: "Master Fang, what about this tiger skin?" ”

Fang An said: "Fang Ye doesn't take advantage of you, let's take a package." ”

"Alas, yes, it's still Fang Ye's atmosphere." After speaking, the three dogs picked up the tiger skin and wrapped the six thunderbolts and put them in the box.

After wrapping it, Fang An and Sangou carried the wooden box out of the underground warehouse, and then Sangou went down again to bring up the jar of black sand.

Fang An paid the money, and the two of them worked together to carry the things into the carriage.

The three dogs smiled brightly at Fang An on the carriage and said, "Master Fang walks slowly, come back when you have time." ”

After Fang An walked away, the watch shop in front of the courtyard of the Sangou Black Market had just closed.

Liu Jifen from the watch shop asked Sangou, "Mister Liu, I think the one just now seems to be the steward of the Fang family, right?" ”

Sangou nodded and said, "That's right, Master Fang, who has a lot of money." ”

……

Fang An took the carriage back to Fang's mansion, got out of the carriage, Fang An called the doorman to help him carry the box to the courtyard of the east wing, and then he sent the doorman back and dragged the box to the attic of the east wing.

Fang An first coughed according to what Fang Congzhe said, and then heard a cat meow from inside, and then knocked on the door, one long, two short and one long, just like when he came before, the door squeaked again and opened automatically from the inside. He dragged the suitcase into the room, then turned and closed the door.

Fang An didn't have the slightest affection for these Jurchens, but he was afraid of ruining his master's big affairs, so he could only endure going up to the attic on the second floor and facing a few Jurchens: "The firearms and gunpowder you want are all placed below." ”

After Fang An finished speaking, he ignored the reaction of the Jurchens, and left the east chamber by himself.
