The three of them walked as they talked, and soon walked out of the official market and came to the streets and alleys of the slums. Mo Lin'er ignored the poor people who were curious and watching, and directly led Su Qi and Su Dengxiao from a small road to the inside.

"Miss Lin'er, have you ever been to the black market?" Su Dengxiao couldn't help but ask when he saw Mo Lin'er's familiar appearance.

"Of course. As a child of the Mo family, observing the market is a compulsory lesson. Mo Lin'er replied.

The three of them walked into the black market, as if they had walked into a vast labyrinth.

Presumably to protect from the rain, the roofs of the houses and shantytowns here are all built to be extremely wide and of different heights, so that the sky is covered in layers, leaving the whole area in a constant darkness.

When he came out of the official market, it was still a clear sky, but when he came here, Su Qi felt a chill, as if the wind and rain were coming, and the autumn was cold to the bone. The whole shanty town is covered with a faint layer of frost, which looks deep, dark and mysterious.

Under the eaves is uneven, winding and narrow passages like sheep's intestines, often more than ten steps away to turn three or five turns. Many of the passages are even hidden behind potholes, pyres and debris, making it a cobweb-like patchwork. The dirt road is still potholed and has a lot of sewage, which must be carefully avoided.

Fortunately, Mo Lin'er knows the road.

She led the two of them deeper into the slums, where at first they were surrounded by dilapidated shacks, the sewage in the ditches was stinking and the poor people who lived here were all ragged and skinny, and they looked miserable. But as the three of them gradually went deeper, the dirt became less and less, and even wooden houses began to appear.

"What's going on?" Su Dengxiao was a little surprised, "This is still a slum?"

"Of course. "Everywhere there will be slaves and financiers, there will be rich and poor, and in the slums, there will naturally be rulers—of course they will live in better houses. ”

Su Qi looked around carefully, and found that the further he walked into the slums, the more regular the buildings became, and some of the more decent houses were all made of green bricks, which were almost the same as most of the shops in the official market. The number of people gradually decreased, the streets became empty, and the three of them seemed to have left the slum and entered another place.

But that's not all there is to the most luxurious building. Compared to the mansions of the clans, the houses in the depths of the slums are still dilapidated and shabby, and apart from the cleaner ones, they are not much different from the small shops in the countryside. Moreover, all the buildings are crowded together in a haphazard manner, and if there is no one who knows the way, I am afraid that most of them will get lost.

"Most of the people living in these houses are famous people in the underworld of Zhaowu City. Each of them has no less money in their hands than some petty officials and businessmen, and it is only because of their special status that they have to live in seclusion in the black market. Mo Lin'er explained.

"Where the hell is the black market?" Su Dengxiao asked subconsciously as he looked at the low buildings around him.

"Where? We're already on the black market. Mo Lin'er casually pointed around, "Here, all the houses are on the black market. ”

Su Dengxiao looked around with some surprise, and there were all kinds of different houses all around, dense and layered like fish scales, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable in their hearts.

"All ...... It's all black market?" Su Dengxiao said incredulously.

"Of course. In every room here, there is a gangster, they are all black market, and they all accept trades, as long as you find the right person. Of course, if you don't have a way, you'll need a 'ferryman' to pick you up. Mo Lin'er explained.

"Who is the 'ferryman'? Is there a river here?" asked Su Dengxiao.

"'Ferryman' is the middleman, the name of the black word. The 'ferryman' knows the whole black market inside out and can guide you to the shop you want to visit. It's not my first time here, but I rarely trade on the black market, so I don't know much about it. I recommend that you still find a 'ferryman' to introduce you. Mo Lin'er said.

"Good. Where's the 'ferryman'?" asked Su Qi.

"It's right ahead. Mo Lin'er raised her hand and pointed to a small and inconspicuous shop in front of her.

The shape of the small shop is the same as the surrounding low houses, and it is also stained with mud and dust, the only difference being a dirty wine banner hanging from the door.

"The 'ferryman' is a liquor shop shopkeeper?" asked Su Dengxiao in surprise.

"Yes, and the only liquor store in the entire black market. Mo Lin'er replied.

"Why is it the only one?" Su Dengxiao was a little puzzled, "With such a big black market, the most should be a liquor store." ”

"Because no one in the black market dares to steal his business. It is said that there were a few other liquor shops in the black market before, but later the shopkeepers of those liquor shops were all buried in the ground to make fertilizer. Mo Lin'er replied.

Su Dengxiao involuntarily shivered: "Su Qi, or let's go back." ”

"What are you afraid of, if you come here, you will be safe, since this black market is in Zhaowu City, it is impossible to be lawless and do whatever you want. These underworld characters must have their own set of rules for doing things, and since we talk about rules, we don't have to be afraid. After Su Qi finished speaking, he walked towards the wine shop.

Lifting the oil-stained curtain of the broken door, the three of them walked into the small liquor shop. As soon as he entered the door, a pungent sour breath came to his nose, and Su frowned. Wine jars were everywhere on the floor, on the walls, and under the tables, some open, some sealed, and piled up all over the floor.

A man dressed in sackcloth was sleeping on one of the longest wine tables, his face covered by a wide hat, and his face and age were not visible.

Su Qi was just about to speak, but a hoarse voice came from under the hat: "Buy wine, or ask for directions?"

Su Qi replied respectfully: "There is a batch of herbs that I want to sell, and I am tired of introducing them to my seniors." ”

"That's asking for directions. I will take 10% of the income after the transaction. The hat-bearer said hoarsely.

"Yes. Su nodded.

"Follow me. ”

I don't know how the hat man exerts his strength, but he stood up straight from the wine table and fell to the ground lightly. The hat that was originally covering his face was also put on his head, and the black veil on the lower edge of the hat covered his face, making it difficult to see his face. I don't know how the hat-man moved, but he walked out of the house like a ghost in three steps and two steps.

Su Qi was secretly surprised in his heart, this hat man gave him an unfathomable feeling, I am afraid that the worst is the cultivation of the Five Realms. Seeing the hat-man ghostly leaving, Su Qi hurriedly walked two steps and followed behind the hat-man.

Su Dengxiao was a little weak-hearted, and secretly pulled the corner of Su Qi's clothes: "Are the people in the black market so mysterious? ”

Su spread his hands and said in a low voice, "How do I know." Just follow it. ”

The hat man took Su Qi and the three of them to turn left and right, and after a long distance, they came to a two-story wooden building.

"Come in, I'll wait outside. The hat-man's hoarse voice said.
