After coming to the Green Garden, Qin Tai and his wife glanced at each other, and Qin Tai and Zhan Xiao secretly exchanged lines. Zhan Xiaoxiao is a person in the rivers and lakes, and when the road is uneven, he helps Qin Tai solve problems. Zhan Xiaoxiao is only responsible for guiding the way and explaining to Qin Tai, who is the one who really wants to buy the news. The reason why Qin Tai wanted to find someone was because his son was missing, and there was still no news after reporting the case, so he asked Zhan Xiaoxiao, a "chivalrous", for help. Although there are not many such things, it is not a violation of the rules of the news store, so the news hall generally does not accept business.

Green Garden is at the end of Fireworks Street, which is usually a place where business is not very good. But it's so strange, the more brothels in the back, the better the business, and the more on the street, the worse the brothel. Luyuan is one of the largest brothels in Daxing County, and the entrance alone is much larger than ordinary brothels. Ordinary people and people in the government would not have thought that Luyuan would have a background in the rivers and lakes and would be the location of the news hall in Daxing County.

At this time, the gate of the Green Garden was closed, and there were no people or small people chatting at the door, which showed that the rules of the Green Garden were stricter than those of ordinary brothels. Even Qin Tai, a layman, felt that Green Garden was different from ordinary brothels. Zhan Xiaoxiao came to the gate, lightly buttoned the knocker on the door, paused for a while every three times, and then paused for a longer period of time after three consecutive sets. At first, Qin Tai didn't understand the meaning of Zhanxiao, but then he immediately understood the meaning. This is to inform the people inside, not only are the people who come not only not outsiders, but also people in the rivers and lakes who understand the rules. As soon as the identity is revealed, it means that the person who comes is not here to prostitute but to do business. Of course, this business is not a meat deal, but a news deal.

Soon after, the door opened softly, poking its head out of it. It seems that this person is not very old, he should be the little turtle slave of Green Garden, but he is actually a first-level personnel of the news hall. Greeting guests with such a child will not only not attract the attention of outsiders, but also avoid some trouble, and it seems that the stewards of the news hall are very smart. The kid looks young, but his clever eyes reveal his cleverness, and it seems that he is a promising intelligence worker.

After Zhan Xiaoxiao finished a sentence, the child immediately let Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qin Tai enter the Green Garden. Qin Tai vaguely heard that his wife was showing a novel, and they were "buyers", and they came here to find "sellers" to buy things. After the "incision", the other party knew that Zhan Xiaoxiao was his own person, and he was a guest who came to the news hall to buy and sell news, so he let Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao come in.

Since this is a brothel, it is only natural that the manager of the news hall here is also a woman. However, what Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't expect was that the supervisor here was not the old bustard of the Green Garden brothel, but a "big teapot", that is, an old turtle slave. The steward saw two, both of them were prostitutes who were a little older, and it seemed that this news hall was seriously in decline. Qin Tai didn't understand the rules here, and he had to pretend to be a panicked sour Xiucai, so his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao usually told him on his behalf.

Although it is not the first time that Zhan Xiaoxiao has come to the news hall to buy news, it is also the first time to come to this green garden, so you must ask about the rules and prices here. This is the rules and habits of the news hall, and it also tests whether the person who comes is a person in the rivers and lakes.

The two sides faced a lot of Qin Tai's confused "incisions", and after checking Zhan Xiaoxiao's birth, they told Zhan Xiaoxiao the rules here. Of course, Zhan Xiaoxiao can't tell his true identity, which is not only unsafe but also causes unnecessary trouble. So Zhan Xiaoxiao made up an identity for himself, and Zhan Xiaoxiao became a descendant of a martial arts family in Tiger Hill. The reason why Zhan Xiaoxiao dared to say this was because she saved a descendant of this family back then, and the old lady personally accepted Zhan Xiaoxiao as her goddaughter, so Zhan Xiaoxiao was not all lying. This kind of identity is not only easy to walk the rivers and lakes, but also not easy to be suspected, plus the family background is innocent, and the news hall should not be embarrassed.

The supervisor asked a steward to entertain Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qin Tai, and a steward and supervisor left politely. This is one of the rules of the news hall, except for the dealer and the party, the fewer people who know the truth of the matter, the better. Under normal circumstances, people in the news hall should not listen carefully, especially the leaders in charge of the department, who cannot listen in order to show justice. Therefore, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't care about their departure, and listened carefully to the price of the news hall here introduced by this steward.

There are three ways to sell news in the news store: the first is called "flying". It means that the news that needs to be known will be passed out, and as long as the information contained in the news hall will be returned to the steward in a bamboo tube along the silk thread after a while. That's why it's called "flying", which means that the news falls from the sky. The second type is called "tagging", which means hanging up the message that the news library does not know and waiting for the person who knows the message to deliver the message. This method is time-consuming and expensive. The third type is "100 questions", that is, people can ask up to three questions, and the "doctor" of the news hall will answer them on the spot. The "doctor" can only answer the simplest sentence, even a word, but cannot say "no" or "don't know". If you can't answer or "can't answer", the message hall will pay ten times the price to the visitor.

After the steward's explanation, don't say that Zhan Xiaoxiao, even Qin Tai also knew the meaning. The news known by the news hall is also called "flying in", which is divided into three grades according to the grade, and the low-grade news is priced at fifty taels of silver; The mid-range message is priced at one hundred taels of silver; The high-end news is worth three hundred taels of silver. The information that the news library does not know or does not have on file needs to be "listed". This kind of news generally starts at five hundred taels of silver, and there is no upper limit. "Baiwen" is also the special package of the news hall, and the market price here is five taels of silver for a question. The steward told Zhan Xiaoxiao that if he was looking for news, he needed to "put up" at the end, and the previous "Flying" or "Baiwen" didn't cost money. Even if you have already paid in advance, you can return it or deduct it in the "listing". After the steward glanced at Qin Tai, he added four more words, "No counteroffer".

Zhan Xiaoxiao glanced back at Qin Tai, Qin Tai pretended to hesitate, and finally decided to "ask a hundred questions" first, and then "fly" as a last resort. It's not surprising at all, people who come here are generally like this, they can spend a little less money, and no one wants to be a "wronged boss". This is the habit of ordinary people, and it is also the characteristic of all people, and the steward is quite understanding.

After a while, a "doctor" came to a small room in the Green Garden, and there were only three people in the room. One is Qin Tai who asks about things, the other is the translator and intermediary Zhan Xiaoxiao, and the other is the "doctor" of the news hall. The steward can only wait outside the door, waiting for the result of the questioning of the three people, which is also the rule here. After the incident, no one is allowed to inquire about the question of the visitor at will, and the "doctor" is not allowed to tell anyone the question asked by the visitor, otherwise the consequences will be quite serious.

After only a while, Qin Tai and the three of them came out, and although the "doctor" got fifteen taels of silver, the faces of the three people were not very good. The steward immediately knew that the matter had not been resolved, and that the visitor needed to inquire about the news in a "flying" way. After the "doctor" handed over all the fifteen taels of silver to the steward, he left directly. According to the rules, after the steward of the money is to be put into the account, it will be distributed to everyone who has merit at the end of the month. There was no need for the "doctor" here, so the "doctor" left without even saying hello.

Because of the arrangement of "flying in", the steward wanted to invite Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qin Tai back to the small reception room of the Green Garden. On the way, Qin Tai recalled his conversation with the "doctor", although the "doctor" did not talk much, but Qin Tai could feel that this person knew a lot of things, but had little direct effect on the case. Qin Tai asked three questions, the first of which was, "Recently, children have gone missing here." Do you know who did it? The other person replied, "I know about something, but I don't know who did it." The second question is, "Has anyone here been buying a lot of groceries and food lately?" The other party replied, "Yes, but none of them are from the rivers and lakes." We don't interfere, we don't ask. The third question is, "Are there a large number of dead babies or dead bodies of children in the area?" The answer was "No." These answers made Qin Tai at a loss, and he had little practical effect, and spent fifteen taels of silver in vain.

When the steward returned to the reception room again and brought the pen and paper, the steward was followed by two men. Although they had undergone a make-up, Zhan Xiaoxiao recognized them at a glance as the head of the news hall who had just left and another steward. Zhan Xiaoxiao stood up silently while hinting at her husband Qin Tai to be careful. Zhan Xiaoxiao was worried that their husband and wife had exposed their whereabouts, and she didn't know if the other party would target them and her husband. Zhan Xiaoxiao is completely sure to leave, but if he has to take care of Qin Tai by his side, he doesn't know if he can rush out. For the sake of safety, Zhan Xiaoxiao had to prepare for the worst and try to ensure that Qin Tai left the Green Garden safe and sound. When necessary, it is a big deal to start killing, and the other party will break the net.
