After Liu Yifeng, who pretended to have just come in, took 2 taels of silver from the shopkeeper Zhang, he immediately found Gu Ergou, who was constantly patting his stomach and eating.

"Brown-skinned savages? I've heard that there are a lot of them in the south, but we don't have them here in the city, don't worry. ”

It's a pity that Gu Ergou didn't know about the Indians, and he stayed in Jishan City after he arrived in Dongshan Prefecture.

"Does Boss Liu have a branch in Qishan City?"

"Nope."

"Do you know where he lives?"

"Of course I do." Gu Ergou showed an envious and obscene expression on his face: "In the Piaoxiang Building in the east of the city, Boss Liu has chartered two skinny horses to sleep there every day. ”

Good fellows, two skinny horses, the fur merchant is really rich.

The hesitation in Liu Yifeng's eyes was a little less, and he decided to find Piaoxianglou first.

"Brother Feng, if you can't hold it back, I know that there are a lot of Japanese and Korean female slaves in a family, and Piaoxianglou starts with a night of 10 taels, so keep your little silver, it's not cost-effective to throw it all on a woman's belly."

The ordinary girl in Piaoxianglou is 10 taels a night, so isn't the skinny horse dozens or hundreds of taels a night?

The hesitation in Liu Yifeng's eyes became less and less, and he was determined to give it a try.

"Don't worry, I just want to know where Piaoxianglou is, and I'm not going to go."

Gu Ergou didn't believe it at all, sighed and took Liu Yifeng to the Piaoxiang Building in the east of the city.

The castle was built on Cook Bay, which is the eastern coast of what the Maritime Bureau calls it. The city near the port is the old town, which is cluttered and dirty and full of warehouses, and most of the places where people live, and it is called the lower town. The city far from the port is clean and tidy, most of the buildings have been newly built in recent years, and there are many manors, where many wealthy people of the trading houses or officials of the maritime bureau live, which is called the upper town.

Qinglou, this kind of gold pavilion, was naturally built in Shangcheng District. Liu Yifeng found that the closer he got to Piaoxiang Building, the richer and richer the people dressed up along the way. The plain white cotton robe, the luxurious fur, and the beautiful silk seem to be really a place where you are not rich or expensive.

"It's that building, Brother Feng, really don't go, it's not easy for us to make some hard-earned money, it's not cost-effective to throw it on a woman's belly overnight."

"Okay, I see, you believe me, I'm really not going."

Liu Yifeng was a little impatient, but he still held back his temper, and Gu Ergou persuaded him not to go to Piaoxiang Building to consume all the way.

On the one hand, he was very upset that Gu Ergou thought that he was a hungry ghost, and on the other hand, he could see that Gu Ergou was a good person, and he was also kind to persuade him, so he could only keep guaranteeing that he would not go.

After writing down the road, Liu Yifeng asked Gu Ergou again: "Is there a black market in Qishan City?" ”

Gu Ergou's expression became even more strange, he first nodded, then pondered, and said: "Brother Feng, Dongshan Prefecture is not a place outside the law, the Maritime Safety Bureau is governed by Ming Law in Dongshan Prefecture, and it will be beheaded here!" ”

"What do you want!" Liu Yifeng really couldn't help it, first suspected that he was a hungry ghost, and now he suspected that he was an illegal.

"I thought you were going to kidnap Boss Liu...... Gu Ergou asked puzzledly, "What are you looking for the black market?" ”

“… Only... Somewhat... Affair... bar..."

Liu Yifeng found that he really couldn't explain why he was looking for the black market, but fortunately, Gu Ergou was a chatterboxer, and a few words helped him rationalize: "You don't want to fight black boxing, right?" And then rely on the money from the black boxing to go to Piaoxianglou? Brother Feng, listen to my brother's words, it's not worth it! ”

“……”

Liu Yifeng was too lazy to complain, but his acquiescence made Gu Ergou firm up his judgment and persuaded him again.

"I'm really not going to Piaoxianglou, but I can fight black boxing or something, I can fight very well, and I can make extra money."

Unexpectedly, Gu Ergou really didn't object to him playing black boxing, and the scene where Liu Yifeng easily solved Zhao Lida left a deep impression on him.

The two came to Xiacheng District while talking, turned east and west and entered the basement of a courtyard, and when they came up again, Liu Yifeng had lost his way, only to find himself in a huge warehouse, which was brightly lit, the air was dirty, and the people were boiling.

"There are Japanese and Korean slave girls on the left, that one is cheap, 300 wen yuan a time."

Liu Yifeng looked at the men in line over there, and subconsciously took a step back away from them.

In ancient times, the female Lu and the Qinglou woman were the main outbreak places of syphilis. The teaching department managed by the imperial court is okay, but the folk Qinglou is worse. And the worst thing is to only receive the low-level people, the Japanese female slaves and Korean female slaves in it pick up customers more than ten or twenty times a day, as long as one person has syphilis, in this era without protective measures, it is basically cross-infection.

"On the right is the gambling house, Brother Feng can go over there if you want to play black boxing."

After looking at it, Liu Yifeng lost interest, he had only one real purpose: to find the people who bought and sold firecrackers in the black market.

After eavesdropping on the conversation between Boss Liu and Shopkeeper Zhang, Liu Yifeng had a plan in his mind, which was still in its embryonic form, and he needed to investigate multiple parties to decide whether to implement it.

The plan is: to find a way to secretly sell a batch of handcuffs before leaving Jishan City, and when the Maritime Safety Bureau of Jishan City auctions off his own people, he Liu Yifeng buys himself and his team.

In order to implement this plan, there are three things that must be known in advance:

The first is to understand the details of the transaction of the fire gun in the city of Zhushan, from the price to the transaction method to the precautions, after all, this is an illegal act that violates the law of the Ming Dynasty, and the black and white are the last to touch the bottom.

The second is to find a person who can execute the fire gun, and he currently has 3 candidate targets in his heart: Gu Ergou by his side, Lao Wang, the cook on the ship, and himself.

If he can, he doesn't want to come forward at all, and the risk can be avoided by reducing the link of exposing himself. But Gu Ergou just met and was not trustworthy, Lao Wang might be able to trust, but he was really willing to help himself?

So Liu Yifeng himself is also on the shortlist.

The third is to find out the approximate price of these people, if it is too expensive, you can't buy yourself and your core team when you sell out, so it's better to keep the fire gun and wait for the next opportunity.

When he came to the black market, he was taking the first step.

"What's going on over there? How do I see that there are many people in the trading houses? ”

The clothes worn by the people of the trading house are different from those of their people, and the people wear them are more like the cotton clothes and cotton pants of later generations, which are two-piece suits, and most of the people in the trading houses wear what this era should be.

"It's a place for trading, and some things that the Maritime Bureau doesn't allow to sell are all in there."

"yes, let's go, let's take a look."

After finding his target, Liu Yifeng left Gu Ergou and walked towards the warehouse, but was stopped at the door: "500 Wen for one person." ”

Gu Ergou rushed up and nodded at the big men who stopped Liu Yifeng, and then pulled Liu Yifeng away.

"Brother Feng, what are you doing, you have to pay money when you go to the trading area!"

Liu Yifeng didn't care either, he took out a piece of broken silver of about one tael, broke free from Gu Ergou and threw it to the big man who stopped him before. Dahan was very surprised, he thought it was a new man who went in the wrong direction, and he just stopped it, but he didn't expect him to be really willing to pay.

500 Wen, many people can't earn so much in a month.

A silver 1000 Wen, this is the exchange rate that has been fixed by this Ming Dynasty, Liu Yifeng pulled the stunned Gu Ergou into the trading area.
