Chapter 543 Ghost Market Water Vendors

The land of Shu and Guizhou is vast and abundant, the population is complex, and there are many three religions and nine streams in and out.

Because the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, the trade management is relatively loose, so a large number of ghost markets have come into being.

There are as many as five large-scale ghost markets between the two places alone, which is three more than the vast northeast region of Zhongzhou.

The ghost market, in the middle of the night, the rooster crows and disperses, people and transactions, and there are many foreign objects.

The goods in the ghost market can be described as varied, from large furniture and utensils, to small daily necessities, expensive as rare treasures, rare as antique calligraphy and paintings, and even medicinal herbs, clothes, vegetables, and so on.

Of course, in the rivers and lakes of Zhongzhou, there are indispensable sales or rare soldiers, or secret recipes of good medicine, or unique books of martial arts, but to say that there are some truths and some falses, it all depends on the contest between the buyer and the seller.

Most of the things in the ghost market have unknown origins, and there are countless fakes and defective products.

The reason why it is called a ghost market is that there is no distinction between businessmen and ghosts.

As for the rules of the rivers and lakes in the ghost market, they are all conventional, only talk about business and do not do it, if you have the intention to break this rule, you will have to bear the corresponding consequences.

In the southeast of Qiandi, there is a ghost market that rises between the junction of three towns, which is the first of the two ghost cities in Qiandi, named "Qianxu".

Qianxu is open every seven days in spring and winter, and the market is open every night in summer and autumn.

It was already more than half of the hour, that is, how the light in the west darkened later than in the east, and the sky at this time was completely covered with a curtain, and the light could not penetrate, and the moon could not drill.

There are no lights in the ghost market, and the Qianxu of this night is difficult to recognize people, and it is not easy to distinguish things.

I wonder if there are many fewer people because of this.

There are many fewer vendors and many fewer customers.

Or maybe it's because of some factors that these people are missing.

If it is said that the imperial court and the rivers and lakes are inseparable, there are one and the other.

Then, there is a symbiotic relationship between the market and the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are fixed, the market is peaceful, and the rivers and lakes are chaotic, and the market is dangerous.

The imperial court ignored the assassination cases in the rivers and lakes for many days, and the rivers and lakes were on guard.

And when it falls into the lives of ordinary people, it is sleepless and trembling at night.

A woman with a child has orchestrated a night killer to bluff the child who has too much energy at night and likes to wander around.

The childless woman warns her husband not to linger in the night world and not return, after all, those who are killed are not said to be good birds.

As a result, only those who are forced by life, or lured by profit, or driven by desire in the ruins tonight gather here.

The west side of Qianxu is also the entrance of the ghost market.

There are few vendors scattered around, and there is no scene of stalls next to each other.

As usual, it is not uncommon to see a lot of things sold at the entrance, and the deeper you go, the more crowded the place, the more vendors gather, and the more good things there are.

However, in the past three days, there has been a stall selling alcohol at the entrance.

With him shouting in front, many customers who came to the market stopped at the entrance a little more, and even the vendors next to him were even more popular.

The vendor looked like a middle-aged man, with a fat and slightly dark face, and three forehead lines could easily be seen on his head.

Always wear slightly loose clothes to hide that slightly clumsy figure.

There are three wine jars and six large bowls on the stall in front of it, which are exclusively for customers to try.

Behind him was a small cart, piled with more than 20 jars of wine waiting to be sold.

In the past two days, the vendor's business has been quite good, and he has basically come with a full load and left empty.

It's just that the silver taels earned in the first two days should not be much, because there are too many people who come to try it at him.

The widely advertised phrase "one bowl of refreshing, two bowls will never get tired, and three bowls of golden guns will never fall" is too impactful for anyone, especially in the ghost market with a large number of male customers, and people can't help but want to try it out.

And the price of a bowl of ten cents is stuck in the point where the big guy feels that he can't buy it at a loss and can't be fooled, and most people will naturally not spare that little money to gain more knowledge.

But in the vendor's own words, it's all about losing money and making money.

Because he is not selling ordinary wine, but agar and jade liquid.

Each jar is made of secret royal jelly with other medicinal materials to refine and ferment, although it can not be so exaggerated as never getting tired and the golden gun does not fall, but it has the effect of clearing heat and relieving heat, nourishing the liver and kidneys, and the cost is not low.

He called this elixir jade liquid "Old Divine Water".

One jar of Lao Shenshui can be poured into ten bowls, and he can only earn a meagre hundred dollars; a single altar is worth at least five taels of silver when it is taken out and sold.

In this way, there are few believers, and many do not believe.

Naturally, there were connoisseurs among the customers who came to try it, knowing that what they said was true, not only did they want to buy all the old god water, but they even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy the secret recipe for brewing, but they were politely declined.

After all, the old god water vendor still has to rely on this unique craft to make a living.

I don't know if it's to prevent the "family secret recipe" from being studied, or out of sincere concern, each customer can buy up to three altars of old divine water from the vendor.

The old god water vendor always explained bitterly for this: "This old god water, is medicine not wine, is medicine three points poison, although it is a good product, but not greedy cup, drink no more than five catties a day, more is harmful and useless; and it is difficult to hide for a long time, it should be used up within a month or two, hoarding too much, it is really a waste." ”

When the people heard that they were right, they followed the rules of the people with suspicion.

All in all, most of the vendors and customers in Qianxu think that if this old Shenshui vendor can be continuously supplied, they will insist on coming here every night, and they will make a lot of money in less than a month.

Just like tonight, this old god water vendor came an hour earlier than the previous two days, and as customers flocked into the market, most of the old god water had already been sold.

Looking back at the remaining less than ten jars of old god water on the cart, the vendor seemed to be in a hurry to go home after selling out, and the old god sat back on the embroidery pier on the ground, waiting for the next customer to come.

Compared with the previous two days, the time of the old god water vendors is more abundant.

After all, what he had to do two days ago was not only to sell the old god water, but also to kill people.

This old Shenshui vendor is none other than Jiang Yichen.

If there is no accident, Luo Piaoling and the others should return to Jiangning County with success at this time.

Similarly, if there is no accident, Jiang Yichen still needs to kill tonight.

This time, there were only two people he was going to kill.

He had been preparing for some time to kill these two men.

The first is to prepare this so-called "old god water".

As he said, these old gods are medicine, not wine, and they are fitness and nourishing.

This brewing secret recipe will naturally not be handed down by Jiang Yichen's family, but from the medicine valley.

There is never a shortage of prescriptions for various nourishing drinks in the medicine valley, and Jiang Yichen only takes one of them to be of great use.

And the secret royal jelly is also produced by the real medicine valley, which is given to Jiang Yichen by the medicine elder who is sympathetic to the younger generation.

Although there are only two cans of secret royal jelly, it is a burden for Jiang Yichen, who has to run around.

I couldn't eat it up by one person in a short period of time, so I simply took this main ingredient and found a new branch of Zuihongyan Restaurant in the area of Qiandi, and privately ordered a hundred altars of old divine water.

The craftsmanship process is all dictated by Jiang Yichen, and there are only two cans of royal jelly exclusively made by Medicine Valley, so there is no need to worry about the leakage of the secret recipe of the old god water.

And being able to brew a hundred jars of old god water in less than ten days shows the solid strength of Zuihongyan Restaurant in the wine business.

The hundred altars of old god water were sold for three days, and they were about to be sold out.

Jiang Yichen can still calm down and be unhurried, that is, he believes that before he sells out these old gods, he will definitely be able to catch a fish and take the bait.

The two fish he wants to catch, one is named Zheng Lun, and the other is called Chen Qi, which is the second general of the Beacon Tower.

At the beginning, Jiang Yichen re-emerged from Xishan Island, helped Meng Chaoge and others get out of trouble at the Misty Valley Gorge Road, and killed several important members of Ziyexuan and Linlangju.

At that time, the Demon Palace was able to fall to the point where many gangs of the Four Seas Alliance attacked in groups, and the initial public opinion building was all due to the hard work of the two generals.

Because of the relationship between Leng Mei, Jiang Yichen couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the past Demon Palace.

But this time, Zheng Lun and Chen Qi were selected as targets, but there was not much meaning of the same hatred and hatred, and if there was, it was just a boat pushing the boat.

What Jiang Yichen values is the ability of the two.

These two people are just second-rate martial arts, but they can listen and watch very well.

It is with this that the two of them have built an intelligence network that can be among the top ten in Zhongzhou, and they can receive intelligence clues from all over the country and make corresponding actions one step earlier than most sects.

In the eyes of those who don't know the details, these two people are also in line with the mythical clairvoyance and the ear of the wind, and it is not a problem to see six ways and ears to hear all directions.

Therefore, in the huge rivers and lakes, the combat effectiveness is only at the middle level of the beacon tower, but it can always show a great sense of presence in various major occasions.

Since Jiang Yichen started his work, thirty percent of the eyeliner and eyes that can smell his traces have been managed and deployed by Zheng Lun and Chen Qi.

If Jiang Yichen withdrew, the two of them would naturally have nothing to do with him.

But in a few more days, a few more strong men will join the hunting camp against him, and sooner or later he will fall into the predicament of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, long before coming out of the Medicine Valley, Jiang Yichen took precautions against the two, and even now, he still occupies the absolute initiative.

In fact, with the ability of Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, second-rate gangs such as Fenghuolou will definitely not be able to retain these two talents.

But they have been in the beacon tower for more than ten or twenty years, and they have never had the heart to find another good branch.

It is commendable, but it also makes people think differently.

For example, the two of them have no ambitions, and they don't ask much, so they are willing to be in one place, and they don't mix high or low.

Or, the Beacon Tower is not the real owner of the two, and there is another owner behind it.

Jiang Yichen guessed the latter, and sure enough, clues were found in further exploration.

The duo's intelligence-gathering abilities are closely related to their hobbies.

Both have a great collector's habit and a great desire for new things.

And to satisfy their collecting habits and possessive desires, it is not enough to earn silver taels by acting inside and outside the beacon tower.

That is to say, there is a potential third party who secretly transfers benefits to the two, so that the two can play a role in a low position for a long time, which can not only make them feel at ease, but also try not to attract attention as much as possible.

In addition, the fatal attraction of the ghost market to the two is also self-evident.

If it had been a year or two ago, Jiang Yichen would have had more time to dig out the network tied to Zheng Lun and Chen Qi with the support of the secret department of the Moral Alliance, and give a fatal blow.

But now is the key moment to rush for time to force out, and the two can only be used as sacrifices to startle the snake.

Of course, as long as the two of them can endure the loneliness, before today's rooster crows, they can live a little longer if they don't appear in this ruins.

Why, every time the two of them go around, they will always go to look east and west, not only to find information, but also to find novelty.

Two days ago, the two of them had come to Qiandi, although they had been to Qianxu more than a hundred times, but every day's ghost market was a different ghost market for the two of them.

The two of them were either out of caution, or they were busy hunting Jiang Yichen's layout, and endured it for two nights.

On this third night, can you still tie your hands and feet and be indifferent?
