The sun is setting in the west, and the lights are on.

In a small wing room in the backyard of Baihu Ya, Jiang Xiaobai sat in front of the desk and held a meeting of his henchmen for the first time.

First of all, Zhao Lei reported: "According to the instructions of Director Jiang, everyone investigated all the shops and restaurants in Dongcheng, but the results of feedback everywhere were that no abnormalities were found. ”

Jiang Xiaobai frowned slightly, and said, "There are so many shops in Dongcheng, how can they be checked so quickly?" ”

Erhu replied: "I also think this is strange, those shop owners seem to have prepared in advance, and before we can express our intentions, they have already submitted the goods list and delivery records, and their mouths seem to be muttering 'how to do it again'." ”

Speaking of this, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "The director of our three places also said privately that Director Jiang is self-inflicted and has nothing to do. ”

Jiang Xiaobai didn't care about Fang Yun's teasing, nodded, and asked again, "How about the city gate?" ”

Li Mu stepped forward and said: "I have checked the customs clearance records of the four outer gates of Zhengyang, Dongzhi, Xizhi and Beiwu for nearly a month, but I have not found any merchants and business groups from Lingnan County entering the city, and all of them are local merchants from Wanzhong County. ”

In the end, only the results of the investigation at the wharf remained, and I heard Meng Da say: "The wharf is more difficult, I heard that it is because the Zhao family has a batch of very important goods that will arrive in Hong Kong in the next few days, and the guys at the wharf are very busy." It took us a long time to get their recent manifests from the merchant ships, but we didn't find any goods related to Lingnan County. ”

After listening to everyone's report, Jiang Xiaobai fell into deep thought. According to his speculation, the poisoner should have poisoned the wine and food in advance, and then mutilated the porter in the form of commodities through a store or restaurant in Dongcheng District, and only in this way could he be silent. And Yue'er's father is poisoned in Zhenyang County, Lingnan, so the most suspicious is the Lingnan businessman who recently went to Yuejing City to do business, but why are there no wharves, shops, and city gates?

Jiang Xiaobai frowned and muttered, "Could it be that you guessed the wrong direction..."

I heard Bai Qi speak: "I know that there is another place in Dongcheng District that sells things. ”

-------------------------------------

"Black market?"

Xiao Nengshou walked on the streets of Dongshi and said in surprise: "Why haven't I heard of this place you said?" ”

Bai Qi said slowly: "The black market is not a place, but a force. They are hiding in the shadows, engaged in all kinds of illegal underground transactions, and it is naturally difficult for ordinary people to understand the existence of this force. ”

"The goods they buy and sell are all strange things or prohibited materials, and these people have their own set of rules and their own set of purchase and export channels. The stolen goods I stole from the mansions of dignitaries were resold on the black market. ”

Xiao Neng shook his head and said, "According to what you say, the government should have investigated this black market a long time ago." ”

Bai Qi continued: "Although the black market is engaged in all kinds of illegal transactions, they have always abided by the rules set by the snakeheads, and sometimes the items they sell are also needed by dignitaries, princes and generals. Therefore, even the government will not easily penetrate into this place. ”

When Jiang Xiaobai heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and when he heard Bai Qi talk about the black market in the wing, he immediately decided to take Xiao Nengshou and Bai Qi to go. At this time, the three of them had already turned around in the streets of Dongshi and came to a dark corner.

Bai Qi turned into a winding alley next to him, and pointed: "From here, there will be a black market." ”

It was a very dark street, flanked only by a few simple wooden shacks, black and pressed, and the gaps of the houses were full of debris and rubbish. Ditches were dug on both sides of the road, and a disgusting rancid stench emanated from the canals.

The stench is stinking and devastating.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been difficult for Jiang Xiaobai to imagine that there was such a place in this prosperous Yuejing City.

Bai Qi walked to a shack, knocked three times slowly, and one of them poked his head out of it and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Bai Qi said in a deep voice: "Purchase." ”

After hearing this, the man didn't say anything more, and stepped out of the door to lead the way for Jiang Xiaobai and the others. After walking for a while, I saw that there were more shacks in the alley, and walking here was like walking through a tunnel maze. If you look closely, you can see that the shacks here are different from the dilapidated houses you see outside, and there are caves inside.

Although it looks like a series of dilapidated sheds on the outside, the inside is brightly lit, there are desks and seats, and there are small shops on the ground in each shack. The doors of several rooms were closed, and the sounds of charming, charming, bewitching, and charming women came from within. Looking at the goods sold by those shops, they are all maps, bows, crossbows, stomach armor and other contraband.

"This is the black market." Bai Qi said in a low voice.

Jiang Xiaobai bowed slightly, and immediately walked around with Bai Qi and Xiao Nengshou, and saw that although the items sold in the black market were strange, there were no clues about the strange disease case. After some discussion, the three of them planned to leave.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Hercules pills, strengthen the body, there are not many of them, first come, first served!" ”

Following the prestige, I saw a thin man standing in a dark corner not far away, who did not set up a stall under his feet, but only carried a medicine box, and called there from time to time.

Jiang Xiaobai walked up to him, only to find that the man had a good face and a slender figure like a woman, and asked, "Shopkeeper, what is this Hercules Pill you are talking about?" ”

The man smiled and said: "My baby is a thing that only exists in the mountains of Lingnan, which can not only strengthen the body and bones, enhance the body, but also nourish yin and aphrodisiac, and one grain is effective!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What you said is so amazing, how do I know if it's true or false." ”

"Don't believe it, I've sold a lot of them before, and I haven't seen anyone come back to scold me." The man smiled and opened the medicine box in his hand, "You see there are only five left, do you want to?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai took a look and saw five small red pills in the medicine box, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I'll buy it and try it, I don't know what the price is?" ”

The man stretched out his finger and said, "Fifty two one." ”

Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed: "This little pill also costs fifty taels?!" It's expensive. ”

"Heh, this is a divine pill, fifty taels is not much." The man urged, "How about it, can you buy it yet?" ”

"Okay..."Jiang Xiaobai pondered for a while and said, "Bring me two." ”

"Howler!" The man smiled and closed the pill box, but his face changed, and he ran away.

Jiang Xiaobai was slightly stunned, and immediately shouted at Bai Qi and Xiao Nengshou: "Chase!" ”

It was too late, it was fast, and as soon as Jiang Xiaobai's voice fell, two black shadows flew out of a darker corner next to him, and they were already chasing after the man. Looking at it on a closer look, the two black shadows were holding Mo knives, and they were both wearing a black magpie suit.

"Dead Guard?!"

Jiang Xiaobai was secretly shocked, and immediately understood why the shops and restaurants in Dongcheng District were so cooperative with Baihuya's investigation, it turned out that the Criminal Health Department had checked their goods list and delivery records one step earlier.

The Criminal Health Department has found the black market and set up an ambush here early in the morning!

Without thinking much about it, Jiang Xiaobai immediately followed.

The man made a few turns in the alley, and after a few circles, he ran to the side of another street in a few steps, and was about to rush into another dark winding alley. At this moment, he saw a flash, but there was one more person blocking the way in front of him, and before the man could see the other party clearly, he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and was immediately held by a pair of iron hands.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled lightly: "You haven't sold me yet, why did you run away?" ”

The man was slightly startled, and sneered: "I have long noticed that you are from the official mansion, and I deliberately raised the price to test you!" ”

He looked at the dead guards who were chasing behind him, and laughed, "You want to arrest me? It's not that easy! After saying that, he took out a red pill from the medicine box and put it in his mouth, and saw that his expression was shocked, his whole body was hot, and the green tendons in his arms burst out.

At this time, the criminal guard had also arrived, and there were more than a dozen people, and the leader saw that the man had run away, and immediately shouted: "Who dares to obstruct the criminal health department from handling the case!" ”

After that, seeing the token hanging on Jiang Xiaobai's waist, he sneered again and said, "I thought it was a great power, but it turned out to be just a dog with a scattered head." ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled indifferently and said, "Your Excellency?" ”

"Presumptuous!" The leader straightened up, and said loudly, "My surname is Hao Mingjian, and I am the deputy Qianhu of the Criminal Health Division!" What kind of crime should you be guilty of when a white tiger official dares to obstruct the Criminal and Health Division's handling of the case?! ”

"Stand down!"

Before Hao Jian finished speaking, he heard a cold drink, and soon saw a woman coming from the shadows, this woman looked indifferent, and her cold breath was like a bright moon in the sky, making it impossible to approach easily. Jiang Xiaobai listened to his voice and already knew who he was, and secretly said in his heart, "I didn't expect her to be there." ”

The one who came was Jing Ke.

"Stand down."

As soon as Jing Ke raised her hand, more than a dozen dead guards left, she glanced at Hao Jian again, and said coldly: "You, go back and get fifty palms for yourself." ”

"It's him..."Hao Jian's expression froze, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he was abruptly stopped by Jing Ke's cold eyes. He glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, with a bit of incomprehension and viciousness in his eyes, and responded: "Obey!" ”

After everyone left, Jing Ke looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said coldly: "I didn't expect the third prince to hand over the White Tiger Ya to you, a disciple." ”

Lecher? Jiang Xiaobai secretly laughed to himself, it seemed that Jing Ke was still worried about the affairs of Yuexiu Pavilion, so he laughed lightly and said lightly: "Miss Jing Ke thinks that she doesn't have that ability and will live up to the three princes' intentions?" Also... I just let the suspect go. ”

Jing Ke frowned, his expression seemed to be a little complicated, and after a while, he said again: "That's it, it's also your ability to find out the black market, don't startle the snake in the future, and mistake my Criminal Health Division to handle the case!" She said no more, and turned away.

"This little girl is still so indifferent." Jiang Xiaobai thought secretly, smiled helplessly, and immediately glanced at the hand that was broken free, and his sword eyebrows frowned slightly.

Not long after, Xiao Nengshou and Bai Qi also ran over, Xiao Nengshou panted and said, "Boss, what about that person?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "Ran away." ”

"Ran away?!" Xiao Nengshou was a little incredulous, and sighed, "How is this good, the clues that I finally found out..."

"It doesn't matter." Bai Qi smiled and took out a play card from his arms, "I just stole it from him." ”

I saw that the play card was engraved with the words "Sanqing Class".
