"Unload the mill and kill the donkey?!" Ding Xiu thought of a word he had learned in the academy.

Zhang Hongyi nodded, his eyes became a little distracted, the result of being fired was not only the loss of a job for him, but also his plan to rely on Councilor Lin's power to inquire about the whereabouts of the enemy's family was also in vain.

"What's next?" Ding Xiu asked.

"I don't know, I can only take one step at a time." Zhang Hongyi came to his senses and hid his lost emotions in his heart.

"Take your time, maybe 'the mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village'." Ding Xiu used the words that Chen Jianing taught him at the beginning to enlighten him.

"Brother, you're a literate person." Zhang Hongyi was persuaded by Ding Xiu, and his mood became more cheerful.

"I'm going to replenish some supplies later, and I'm on the road in case I need them, where can I sell these things in Xin'ao City?" Ding Xiu handed Zhang Hongyi a list he had made in advance, wanting him to give some advice.

"Food and daily necessities are easy to say, medicines...... It's not difficult, it's just that this ammunition is ......" Zhang Hongyi frowned when he said this, and after thinking for a while, he said the second half of the sentence: "You have to go to the 'diamond' market to try your luck." ”

"The 'diamond' market?" Ding Xiu was a little curious about the name.

"It's the biggest black market in Xin'o." Zhang Hongyi explained: "Although guns are not banned in Xin'ao City, the use of firearms is prohibited in the city. The law here takes good care of the strong, just like just now, if the black-skinned grandson wants to do something with me, even if I kill him on the spot, as long as I don't use a gun and don't hurt the innocent, then it's nothing, at most I will be fined. ”

"No wonder no one in the store dissuaded me just now." Ding Xiu suddenly realized.

"Yes, as long as you are good enough to keep your troubles within the limits of the impact on others, there will be no more troubles coming to you." Zhang Hongyi was talking when the drink that Ding Xiu had just ordered for him was brought over. He took the drink and asked the waiter, "Which room do those bastards live in?" ”

"They've checked out, sir."

Zhang Hongyi didn't seem surprised by this result, he nodded, and the waiter put away the plate and respectfully retreated.

"Don't be weird." Seeing that Ding Xiu was a little stunned, Zhang Hongyi explained: "If they don't leave, there is a high probability that they will die." ”

"Why?" Ding Xiu asked curiously.

"That's the rule for Synod, huh...... Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that it is an unspoken rule. I had a conflict with them just now, and they chose to check out and leave, but in fact, they confessed, and this matter was revealed. If they don't check out, it means that they haven't given up on the matter, and if I don't settle the matter with them, they will come to me at another time. ”

"There is a bit of a sense of lack of order...... "In the border guards, the order there was military orders, and blood and fire; After arriving in the Brilliant City, order became law. In Xin'ao City, the situation here changed Ding Xiu's perception of order.

"The absence of order is precisely the most appropriate order." Zhang Hongyi took a sip of the drink to moisten his throat and continued: "The geographical location of Xin'ao City is very special, you can go to Frantic to the north, and you can go through or bypass the Kalimdor Desert to the west and go to Danze. These two countries have a large number of people who come to live or do business in Xin'o, and the government is very difficult to manage, and it is easy to cause diplomatic incidents. Isn't there a saying that diplomacy is no small matter. Later, the mayor of Xin'ao adopted the current method, letting the small things end by themselves, and the big trouble government took action, so that good results were achieved, and many problems were solved. ”

"Can you do this?!" Ding Xiu was a little surprised.

"Of course." Zhang Hongyi nodded and said: "The government is not saying that it will not interfere at all, after all, they have drawn a red line and left some room for those who create disputes to play freely." When a dispute breaks out, people on both sides of the dispute have the space to do it themselves, so they naturally don't cross the red line to cause more trouble. ”

"I seem to understand a little bit."

Zhang Hongyi smiled: "Hey, there are few straw bales in power, and I will never question the political wisdom of the leaders." ”

Although Ding Xiu agreed with some of his previous words, he was noncommittal about what he said just now, because he thought of Bai Shouxian, the mayor of Maping Town.

However, Bai Shouxian is not a straw bag, the mayor of the town is just because he later became too corrupt and lost his original intention of serving the people, of course, Ding Xiu does not understand these situations.

"I still have something I want to sell in Xin'o, where is the best place to go?" After Ding Xiu knew the suitable place to purchase materials, he planned to sell some of the low-level crystal nuclei he was carrying for money.

"What do you want to sell?" Zhang Hongyi looked at him and asked.

"Some low-level crystal nuclei."

"Is it a lot?"

"There are some." Ding Xiu said and prepared to take out the crystal nucleus to Zhang Hongyi.

"Don't show your wealth here." Zhang Hongyi hurriedly stopped his actions: "If there is a large amount, there are two channels that can be released, one is the official channel, and the other is the 'diamond market' I told you earlier, of course, other smaller black markets are also fine." ”

"Is there any difference between the two channels?" Ding Xiu asked.

"Of course there's a difference." Zhang Hongyi nodded: "If you choose the official channel, I will take you to the city hall, but the purchase price there is about two to three percent lower than that of the black market." ”

Ding Xiu was a little puzzled: "Why is this happening?" ”

"If the price of the black market is not higher than that of official channels, how can those who can't get crystal nuclei through official channels buy crystal nuclei? You can't be like Lin ...... Like the big guys, they have the strength to recruit or form a hunting party. The cost and risk of recruiting and forming a hunting team is also very high, and in the case of this hunting operation, our mission failed, and not only was the team almost completely wiped out, but the employer also lost a lot of money. ”

"Two to three percent...... Then let's go to the black market and ship it. Ding Xiu thought about it and decided, "I'll have to trouble you to lead the way later." ”

Zhang Hongyi patted his chest: "Don't worry, I promised to be your guide after entering the city, and my old Zhang never broke his word." ”

"Thank you." Ding Xiu thanked him. Zhang Hongyi waved his hand: "Brother, your 'thank you' will be out of sight." You saved my life, and I am the one who wants to thank you...... To tell you the truth, I wanted to thank you for a sum of money, but my savings were given to the families of the dead brothers in the team as a pension, and now I have lost my life with my employer......"

"Don't think about it, although I am short of money, I am not short of your money." Ding Xiu interrupted him, "Saving people is my subconscious instinct, and it is also the fate of the two of us. ”
