Chapter 140: The ghost market closes the shop
The night was already dark, and I saw a person standing in front of the door of Chiba Fang in the distance, and when I got closer, it turned out to be Jiang Luo waiting for her.
"What's the urgency of you waiting for me here at such a late hour?"
Jiang Luo greeted him with a lantern and said, "Today, the prince handed over the invitation. ”
Yun Yue was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh? What does the post say? ”
"I invite you to talk about it tomorrow in the Prince's Mansion."
The prince wants to talk to her? I'm afraid it's not time yet, her Chiba Fang has just landed in Chang'an City, and she has no foundation and no connections, so she can't offend the prince.
"You just said that I caught a cold in the lake today, so I refused."
Jiang Luo responded: "Okay." ”
The prince's invitation reminded Yun Yue that she still had an account that she had not collected from the prince. But before that, she had to establish a firm foothold in Chang'an City.
This Chang'an City is no better than other places, and there are only ruffians and bullies like Zhang San who can be counted and seen, but every Zhang San has its own backers behind them, and their relationship is intricate, and it cannot be solved by fighting and killing.
Her situation in Chang'an City will only be more difficult, and if she is not careful, she will lose everything, so she has to be cautious.
Wait, maybe there's a place that can help her take root in Chang'an City, but I don't know if this place is still there?
Yun Yue tugged across Jiang Luo's sleeve and said, "Go, accompany me to a place!" ”
The streets of Chang'an are scattered with drunk drunkards, and there are occasionally a few children's cries in the depths of the alley.
After a while, Yun Yue and Jiang Luo stood in front of the ghost market. It seemed to be another world, and everyone wore ghost masks in the dim light, and at first glance it looked like a group of ghosts floating around.
The ghost market is mixed, and before Chibabo, the ghost market was the main place for people to buy and sell news. It wasn't until standing in front of this ghost market that Yun Yue figured out why only the rudder of Chang'an City lost money.
In the ghost market, they all trade with masks, and no one knows anyone through the masks, so they don't have to worry about their identities being revealed. However, this line of work is extremely risky, and the truth of the news depends on luck.
In a flash of inspiration, Yun Yue seemed to think of a way to strengthen Qianyefang, anyone who enters the store to buy news must wear a mask, and then recruit the spies in the ghost market back, firstly, the privacy of the guests has been extremely protected, and secondly, the people who resell the news in the ghost market have also been protected, which can be described as a win-win situation.
But how can she recruit those spies who are doing small businesses? Why don't you go in and see for yourself?
After Yun Yue and Jiang Luo put on their masks, they entered the underground ghost market with candles.
After walking along the steps at the bottom for a while, the two of them officially entered the ghost market. I saw people walking next to each other in the ghost market, which was a little more lively than the daytime market.
I haven't seen it for many years, but the scale of this ghost market is much larger than before, and it was finally Yun Yue who squeezed into the crowd.
"Follow me." Seeing no response from the person behind him, Yun Yue looked back, but Jiang Luo was nowhere to be seen.
She glanced around, all of them with masks on their faces, and she couldn't recognize which one was Jiang Luo.
Well, he can't find himself waiting at the door, right? Since she came to this ghost market, she naturally wanted to take a good stroll.
Time has passed, and there are many more tricks in the business in this ghost market, some sell maids, some sell antique furniture, yo, the old man who sells people's hands and feet is still here. Wait, why did you even move in the coffin shop?
Looking at it now, this ghost market is not like the original ghost market, it is a little more worldly, but like a lively night market.
After going around for half a circle, Yun Yue found the news shop in the ghost market. These shops have probably only opened in the past two years.
Yun Yue walked in with the nearest shop, looked up, and saw the three words Dark Night Pavilion inscribed on the plaque.
"Guest officer, please!" Listening to the tone of the shopkeeper, he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties.
"I wonder what news the guest officer wants to buy?"
"You're the boss here?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I am and I am." ”
"Have you ever heard of Chibabo?"
The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, and he said tentatively: "Could it be that the girl wants to buy the news of Chiba Fang?" ”
"That's right."
"Distinguished guests, please!"
The sudden enthusiasm of the shop owner made Yun Yue a little confused, how could he buy the news of Chiba Fang and become a distinguished customer?
After the shopkeeper had finished making tea, he asked leisurely, "What news does the girl want to know about Chiba Fang?" ”
"Buy as much as you want, it's a deposit." After that, Yun Yue untied the full purse in front of her waist and handed it to the boss.
"Good...... Say it well. The shopkeeper happily took the silver taels, opened the record book in his hand and read it word by word:
"Chiba Fang is an intelligence organization that only emerged in the rivers and lakes two years ago, its owner is a woman about 20 years old, its chief helm is in Yangzhou, and there are currently rudders in the northwest and south of the Yangtze River."
Yun Yue slowly got up and said, "Do you think these messages are worth so much money?" ”
"Oh, oh, oh, and more, the real identity of the owner of the workshop is the fourth daughter of the Yun family who was destroyed a few years ago."
Yun Yue's eyes sank, and she continued: "What else? ”
"There is also the fact that she just came to Chang'an City recently, and she is currently at the helm of Chibafang."
It seems that there are ghosts in this Chiba Fang, Yun Yue asked again: "Let me ask you, besides me, is there anyone else who has come to buy the news of Chiba Fang?" ”
"This ...... The message from the guests was absolutely ......"
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Yun Yue took off the mask on his face, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "Absolute secrecy? I know, after all, we're also peers. ”
"You...... Are you the owner of Chibabo? The shopkeeper shook his body and took a few steps back, but a portrait fell out of his cuffs.
Yun Yue bent down and picked up the portrait on the ground: "Yo, even my portrait is there?" ”
With a plop, the shopkeeper fell to his knees: "Auntie...... The girl spared her life, we were just eating together, and we never thought of going to Chiba to fight against it. ”
"Don't worry, I didn't say I was going to clean you up, get up."
“...... Be. The shopkeeper straightened up tremblingly.
Yun Yue dragged a chair and sat down, and said, "But I didn't say to let you go, now I give you two choices, one is to smash your store, as for whether you can see the sun tomorrow is still unknown." ”
"That'...... What are those two? ”
"Well, you have to tell the source of the news from Chiba Fang, and then join me Chiba Fang."
"But what if you lie to me and kill me?"
Yun Yue sneered and said, "According to what you say, since it's all a death, why don't you bet to see if I will go back on my word?" You have to think about it, every choice you make determines more than your own life, take the liberty of asking how old is your little master? ”
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said the name of the ghost in Chibabo.
"Very good, so has anyone ever bought Chiba from you before that?"
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"How much does that man know?"
"I bought all the news just now."
"When did you come?"
"Coming in the afternoon."
Presumably, the prince has already guessed her true identity, and sending someone to send an invitation to Chiba Fang is just to confirm it, and it seems that she still has to go to this prince's mansion.
"Tomorrow, someone from Chiba Fang will come to arrange, since you join me Chiba Fang will naturally not treat you badly, just do a good job, and someone will smash the field in the future, and I will naturally protect you in Chiba Fang." With that, Yun Yue put on a mask and left the store.
"Yes...... Be! The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead.
