Volume 1 Conspiracy Chapter 34 Black Market Profiteers
Three days later
Yan Mengyao woke up from bed in a daze, in the past three days in Furong City, Yan Mengyao has visited every street and alley in the entire Furong City, and has also eaten all the food that can be eaten in the entire Furong City and drank the "fine wine and wine" that made her sick, during which she also met a lot of lustful ruffians who coveted her beauty and wanted to do evil to her, Yan Mengyao tricked them into a dead end with no one by seducing them, and in the end no one knew what happened in the alley, but there were many fools without clothes in Furong City in the past three days.
The plan to find the silver moon seemed to have been put behind her, and she had not done anything about it since the day she entered the city of Hibiscus, except for eating good food and watching some boring juggling, and drinking disgusting but dreamy wine, and occasionally entering the tailor's shop to make some clothes.
Yan Mengyao shook and walked to the table and sat down, this room is a small inn room, Yan Mengyao rented it for fifty silver coins a day, the room is clean and tidy, especially with all kinds of leaf decorations that Yan Mengyao likes, such as the corners of the tablecloth on the tabletop, the curtain on the bed, and the scattered fine canvases hanging on the wall.
Although these decorations embroidered with leaves are very popular with Yan Mengyao, but this inn is not big or small, they are all added by Yan Mengyao to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper has been in a bleak business recently, and finally came to live for a few days, naturally he met the girl's requirements head-on, and it was simply some worthless decorations, if he wanted to get a valuable "fine pattern jade tree", the shopkeeper couldn't get it even if he took half of the inn.
Yan Mengyao, who was sitting in front of the table, slowly took out a small money bag and threw it on the table, only to see dozens of copper and silver coins scattered on the table, and there were three shining gold coins hidden under the copper and silver coins.
"The money is really not spent, or go back and get some money from my father. Yan Mengyao lay on the table in a daze, muttering to herself.
But the idea that blurted out was extinguished by Yan Mengyao herself in an instant, and when she turned her head and thought about the dignified demon princess, she could still starve to death, so she immediately put away the coins and took out the items in the storage one by one, all kinds of toys unique to the human world, snacks and some things from the demon world that people couldn't understand, Yan Mengyao rummaged through the miscellaneous things for a long time, and finally found a few stones as "big" as big as a big toe in the miscellaneous items.
There are seven stones in total, irregular shapes, crystal clear and exude a unique aura, this kind of breath is the most familiar among the cultivators in the human world, it is a spirit stone with the aura of heaven and earth, the spirit stone is very valuable in the human world, but it is almost useless in the Yin Hua Domain, Yan Mengyao takes this almost useless spirit stone in the Yin Hua Domain to exchange for money It is indeed starving to death.
The miscellaneous items were almost full on the table, but Yan Mengyao only turned over seven spirit stones from inside, and then rummaged through the items that had no other items that could be exchanged for money, and immediately took the items back into the storage wear, walked straight out of the guest room, and asked the shopkeeper for some food, and ate it in a leisurely manner.
"Little two..."
Although Furong City is big, Yan Mengyao doesn't know what kind of shops or people are collecting spirit stones, so she casually summoned the shopkeeper to ask clearly, otherwise it would not be a way to go out and find it like a headless fly.
As soon as the shopkeeper finished serving the food to the other table, he heard the good-looking girl greet him, hurriedly walked over, bent down and asked with a very polite smile, "What do you have to say?" ”
"Xiao Er, is there a black market in this city?" Yan Mengyao asked softly after eating the food in her mouth.
If you want to sell Lingshi at a good price, you naturally have to find some black market bosses, all kinds of rare treasures in the black market are dazzling, all kinds of sects including rich merchants will buy and sell goods in the black market, and some people who specialize in bandit robbery and merchants will sell the goods they have stolen to the black market at a low price, and some large black markets will have a relationship with the auction house, and will put these unclean goods into the black market auction to sell.
The shopkeeper whispered softly when he saw Yan Mengyao asking, for fear of being heard by others, thinking that Yan Mengyao might think that there would be some unsightly black goods in the black market, and then whispered: "In the south of Furong City, there is a shop called Ming Zhenbaoqi, you go in and tell the guys in the store to find the shopkeeper on the second floor." ”
When the shopkeeper first came, he didn't know where the black market was, but after doing it for a long time, he could always hear some rumors from other customers, and naturally he knew the location of the black market in Furong City.
Yan Mengyao nodded, and casually threw more than ten copper coins to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper happily accepted it, saying that he would have money to take it, so why not do it.
Soon Yan Mengyao ate and drank to her heart's content, stepped out of the inn gate and went straight to the south of Furong City, along the way when she encountered a food stall Yan Mengyao was still inevitably gluttonous, bought some snacks and ate while walking, and from time to time there were men on the street who looked sideways at Yan Mengyao, and these have long been accustomed to Yan Mengyao, and she still learned this sentence that everyone has a love for beauty, but if someone wants to do something to her, the price is different, if it is not for the fact that her identity cannot be exposed in this Furong City, the disciples of the previous days will only be violent on the streets.
After walking south for nearly half a stick of incense, Yan Mengyao finally saw this shop called Ming Treasures, the decoration in front of the store is very low-key, there is no trace of the façade that sells treasures, and the signboard is also a small plaque made of pure wood standing in front of the door, with the four big characters "Ming Treasures" written on the card.
Yan Mengyao stepped into this store leisurely, but there was a world of difference between the inside and outside of the store, all kinds of treasures and utensils were placed on the shelves in a circle, and the façade without the slightest decoration outside the door, or even a plaque, was indeed like a treasure store, and the two guys in the store stood next to the shelves, and they didn't plan to come forward to greet Yan Mengyao when they saw Yan Mengyao walking into the store, but their eyes were still staring at her, because her beauty attracted their attention.
Seeing that these two guys didn't come forward to greet her, they just looked at her directly, Yan Mengyao was not annoyed, her eyes admired the treasures and artifacts on the shelves, there were too many utensils, Yan Mengyao was dazzled, and what attracted her attention the most was a ring, the ring may be just an ordinary storage vessel in the eyes of others, but it looked so unique and dazzling in Yan Mengyao's glowing eyes.
The ring glows faintly, with two vine-like lines attached to the ring, and just above the ring, is a carefully carved maple leaf, which is deep red and glows a faint red light from the inside out.
And one of the guys who looked directly at her, seeing that she was staring at the ring for storage, shook off the dirty thoughts in his mind, and slowly stepped forward to beckon: "This guest officer, but I have taken a fancy to this treasure." ”
Yan Mengyao nodded, this ring is indeed very much to her like, especially the maple leaf-shaped decoration, and it also has a nice name "Red Leaf", but the price of the ring is also staggering, and the price of a thousand gold coins is marked on it, which is simply a sky-high price for her who is shy now.
The guy saw Yan Mengyao nodded, and then looked at her expensive silk clothes that were not cheap, presumably not ordinary people, and immediately introduced enthusiastically: "The guest officer is really discerning, this red leaf ring is a new product from my store, this ring is forged from precious pure natural gold luanstone, not only has a gorgeous appearance, but also has a ten-inch long, nine-foot-high storage space inside, and the price is only one thousand..."
"Stop, I want to see your second-floor shopkeeper. ”
Just when the guy talked about the price, Yan Mengyao interrupted the guy, and although the interrupted guy was a little unhappy in his heart, but when he heard that she was looking for the shopkeeper on the second floor, he suddenly muttered in his heart, there are many people looking for the shopkeeper on the second floor, but they are all introduced by acquaintances or regular customers, this guest officer is the first time he has seen it in recent years, and he didn't say that anyone introduced him, so naturally it can't be counted.
"Is there something wrong with the guest officer looking for the shopkeeper?" said the man with a soft laugh.
The guy is naturally afraid of provoking a lot of people, looking at this girl's clothes and appearance, even if she is not a high-ranking official, she must be the concubine of an official of a certain family, and if she is not careful, she will get into trouble.
"I... There's a treasure I want to sell. Yan Mengyao turned her head and said with her eyebrows slightly raised.
After Yan Mengyao finished speaking, he also took out a spirit stone in his hand and put it in front of the guy, and the guy is naturally very familiar with the spirit stone, there will always be a few such spirit stones on the shelves in the store every year, as long as this spirit stone is put out, someone will immediately grab it, it can be said to be one of the very popular treasures, but the supply is too scarce, and it is often covered by mysterious people.
"Guest officer, please upstairs. The guy understood that this guest officer who took out the spirit stone was not something he could afford to provoke, so he immediately put on a gesture of invitation and said, taking Yan Mengyao to the second floor.
After the guy and Yan Mengyao went up to the second floor, the guy took the lead in knocking on the door and said inward: "Shopkeeper, there is a guest officer looking for you!"
After the guy finished speaking, he slowly pushed open the door and motioned to Yan Mengyao to come in, and after Yan Mengyao walked into the room, the guy nodded to Yan Mengyao with a smile, took the door with him, and walked downstairs.
The decoration in the room was simple, only a table, three chairs and a pot of tea, a middle-aged man in a light blue cloth shirt sat at the table, looked at Yan Mengyao with a smile, and immediately asked: "I am the shopkeeper, what does the guest officer need to do?"
Yan Mengyao saw that the shopkeeper was straight to the point, and he didn't hide it, so he took out a spirit stone, put it in front of him and asked, "How much of this spirit stone do you have?"
The shopkeeper saw that she took out a spirit stone, but his expression was not surprised, for the shopkeeper, he had seen a lot of spirit stones, and he was still a little surprised at first, but now he has long been used to it, the shopkeeper slowly picked up the spirit stone and looked at it, determined that this was a real spirit stone, nodded and said: "Three thousand gold coins." ”
A spirit stone can be sold for three thousand, and those seven spirit stones are twenty-one thousand gold coins, so many gold coins are enough for Yan Mengyao to live in the human world for a long time, Yan Mengyao was slightly surprised on the surface at this time, but he didn't know that this had been seen by the shopkeeper.
"For the price, I'm not satisfied!"
Yan Mengyao immediately put away her surprised expression, showed a very dissatisfied look, and said tentatively.
And the shopkeeper, who saw Fang Cai's expression in his eyes, put down the spirit stone and pushed it in front of Yan Mengyao, and said with a silent smile: "That guest officer can find another home." ”
Where has Yan Mengyao experienced this profiteer bargaining, seeing that this shopkeeper insisted on this price, he did not relax at all, there were already thousands of swear words rolling in his heart, and then thinking about the red leaf ring on the first floor, Yan Mengyao gritted his teeth and said: "Then I have three pieces here, you give me 10,000!"
"Deal. ”
