Chapter 109: The Black Market

"It's okay, pay attention next time, Su Jiao is also in this car?" Xiao Huai'an said lightly, but his eyes bypassed Mu Hibiscus's side and threw directly into the carriage behind.

Hearing the voice, Mu Rong inside lifted the curtain, Su Jiao blinked, and then greeted Xiao Huai'an, "Huai'an, it's such a coincidence, it's rare to see you walking here so freely at noon." ”

If it weren't for Xu Rulie's invitation, he wouldn't have gone out in such a big sun, but it was a great coincidence that he could meet Su Jiao when he came back.

As soon as he saw that it was Su Jiao, Xiao Huai'an's face unconsciously softened, in order to avoid blocking the pedestrians on the street, he specially took a few steps back, so that Mu Hibiscus could drive the car out, and then walked to the side of the curtain to talk to Su Jiao.

"Why did you come out at this time, to see the Countess, you guessed that she was not sick."

"Although we know, but if we can't stand someone care, it's chaotic, so I came with along, and by the way, I took cover, but the enemy's firepower is too fierce, and the IQ is high, I can't resist it, so I'll come back first, yes,"

As she spoke, Su Jiao took out the mouse talisman she had been carefully keeping away for Xiao Huai'an from her arms. "Do you think this is cute, it just happens to be a couple with mine."

While saying, Su Jiao was still showing off, hanging out her kitten for Xiao Huai'an to see. As soon as he heard this, Xiao Huai'an accepted the talisman without refusal.

"I knew you would like it, but before I came, I chose a pair of golden hairpins for the countess, which looked so good, but it's a pity you couldn't look at them. There is the only fly in the ointment, which is a little expensive, but fortunately, I bought it with Yuge in partnership with the two of us, and it was not too expensive. ”

Su Jiao sighed, in fact, she said it so casually, but Xiao Huai'an became serious, "But there is a lack of jewelry?" ”

"Where, it's just talking, after all, that hairpin is really good-looking." Su Jiao waved her hand, while Xiao Huai'an lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and then turned the horse's head around.

"Hibiscus, follow."

Mu Hibiscus was stunned when she heard this, fortunately, the road here is quite spacious, and it is not too lively at this time, she wasted a little effort, but she still turned the car back very skillfully, and followed behind Xiao Huai'an.

Su Jiao was startled, grabbed the car window with one hand, and couldn't help but ask loudly, "Why are you going?" This isn't the way home, or is there something you need to do with me? ”

"You'll find out in a moment." Xiao Huai'an didn't answer, but silently sped up the speed of the BMW, and Mu Hibiscus also hurried a whip to let the carriage follow closely so as not to fall behind.

Su Jiao exhaled a long breath, and when she saw that she couldn't speak, she withdrew her hand and sat back, wondering in her heart what medicine he had taken the wrong medicine today. Mu Rong looked at the changes in the scenery along the way outside, and vaguely guessed something.

After a while, the carriage and horses stopped one after another, and the location was the black gate where Xu Rulie had come to buy the golden falcon last time in order to curry favor with the emperor.

After the carriage was parked, Xiao Huaian took the initiative to come over and help Su Jiao get out of the carriage.

Su Jiao got out of the carriage with the help of Xiao Huai'an and Diecui, the black market is naturally not as clean as the regular market, but it is just as lively, and there are many things in the dazzling, far more lively than all kinds of markets.

When Hibiscus waited for her to get out of the carriage, he parked the carriage with her outside the stable behind him, but did not come back.

Su Jiao retracted her gaze in amazement, and before she could say anything in the direction in which the carriage was going, Xiao Huai'an took the initiative to explain. "It's a black market, and if no one is watching, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back. Remember to follow me for a while, don't walk around, and don't believe anything they say. ”

As soon as she heard the word black market, Su Jiao didn't react, and Diecui grabbed her arm in fear first. "Miss, I heard that there is no one in here who is not extremely vicious, and there may be a wanted warrant on him outside, I have heard that there is such a place before, but I have never seen anyone here."

Men don't care, it's mainly girls from serious families, and no one will touch this special place at all. Diecui's words were a subtle reminder to Su Jiao that she would have come back earlier, but how could Su Jiao be an ordinary person.

"Diecui," Su Jiao whispered, Diecui raised her head leisurely, and watched Su Jiao take a finger and lightly hook her chin. "I didn't expect you to know a lot of things, even the black market has heard of it, since it's such a powerful place, then we should go in and see the world well,"

"People who have experienced things, that is called talent, one by one speaks and sounds good, we should have a good experience, and if we encounter any bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in the future, it will be a small scene."

Su Jiao said, waved her hand in a chic manner, patted Diecui's shoulder heroically, and took advantage of her not reacting, so she held Xiao Huai'an's arm alone.

Xiao Huai'an turned his head, but he didn't pay much attention to her movements and her pretense, and took the initiative to step in without saying a word.

"Miss, wait for the slave."

In the black market, almost everyone sets up stalls on the ground, that is, there is a gate at the door, and at most it is just a plaque to solicit business, which plays no role, no matter which direction you stand, you can see the entire market at a glance. It's just that there is not a word on the plaque of the gate, that's it.

Along the way, Su Jiao kept taking her eyes all the way, curiously looking at all kinds of small things on these stalls. In addition to the masks of the Wa Kingdom that I saw in the morning, there are also special souvenirs from several other small countries.

Including these souvenirs, although it looks interesting, but it is just small, it shouldn't sell much money, why do these people with special backgrounds come to sell these gadgets, they can't burn and loot outside, do all kinds of evil, and when they get to the black market, they have become a delicate and indifferent person.

"Bah!"

Just thinking about it, Su Jiao raised her head and just met the eyes of a thin one-eyed man on the side of the road, who was still very disgusting and showed a mouth full of yellow teeth and smell, so frightened that she quickly turned her head and got closer and closer to Xiao Huai'an.

Xiao Huai'an sensed her approach, gently patted her hand to soothe, and gave the man an indifferent look, and the man shrugged his shoulders very innocently and turned his head away.

"That's it, you can make a price."

"Five thousand taels, interest-free."

Hearing that there was a slightly bloated middle-aged boss in front of him asking the price, Su Jiao blinked, only to find that what he was holding in his hand was just a grapevine a few inches long.

"It's so dark." Su Jiao smacked her lips and sighed, this pricing is really in vain for their black market reputation.

Xiao Huai'an looked at it when he heard it, but he was not surprised, "It's just money laundering, using some small things as a medium can perfectly cover up the transactions they carry out later." ”

"The entrance to the black market is a simple gadget as a cover, behind the scenes is a money laundering business, and at the exit of the black market is a restaurant with a casino and human trafficking in the background. That is, the middle section sells some genuine things, but because they use production methods that are not allowed by the laws of the imperial court, the things are good, but the price will be much more expensive than the outside. ”

Inverted?!

"It's so powerful," Su Jiao nodded, "Then you, as the Inspector of the Imperial History, don't you come here to seal these places?" In fact, what Su Jiao wanted to ask more was that Xiao Huai'an brought herself over to buy things, wasn't she afraid that these people would offer sky-high prices, but for the sake of the face of the two, Su Jiao was embarrassed to ask.

"Not all black and white in this world, the forces in it are intricate, as long as it does not harm the immediate interests, the existence of the black market is indispensable."

As they spoke, the three of them came to the crossroads of the black market, Xiao Huai'an glanced at both sides, and led Su Jiao to the right.

"Why don't you go to the left?" In the end, it was the first time to come over, Su Jiao looked at everything on the black market was very novel, but Diecui was not as curious as her. The stalls on both sides of the road were all five big and three thick, strange-shaped men, and their eyes were really uncomfortable.

Diecui lowered her head all the way, holding Su Jiao's hand tightly, Su Jiao was not afraid, so she just thought she was not used to it, but Xiao Huai'an saw her reaction.

"The people over there are even more shocking and moody, and it's better for you to go this way."

In other words, I saw so many strange people along the way, and Xiao Huai'an specially chose the safest road. The corners of Su Jiao's eyes twitched, and it was hard to imagine what it looked like to be even more "shocking", and goosebumps unconsciously appeared on her body.

"Let's see." Su Jiao's uncontrollable body shook, and Xiao Huai'an just stopped at this moment.

Hearing the sound, standing in front of me is a relatively small wooden house, compared with the outdoor stalls outside, it is simply a luxurious treatment.

Su Jiao blinked, no one went up to push the door, but the wind blew the wind chimes, and the door of the house took the initiative to open by itself, and what came out was an ordinary-looking man, this kind of appearance should be regarded as very good-looking in this kind of place.

Fortunately, this time it was not a special race, Su Jiao and Diecui couldn't help but relax their vigilance when they saw this, but Xiao Huai'an reminded before entering the door, "This person is good at disguise, it is best to deceive people with clothing, and he himself has burn scars all over his body." ”

"Scar, how did he recover?"

As soon as she heard this, Su Jiao subconsciously looked the person in front of her up and down, although her clothes were tightly wrapped, her exposed wrists and neck were so smooth and delicate, and it didn't look like she had been injured.
