One.

Tang Sanbiao is thirty years old this Chinese New Year's Eve. When a man reaches his thirties, the responsibilities on his shoulders are getting heavier and heavier, and it is inevitable that he needs to spend money to make some connections, but the money in this pocket is becoming less and less. Tang Sanbiao has a noble status, but he has no wealth, which makes him embarrassed. In addition, the wife is ugly and fierce, so she can only hide a concubine in private, whenever she thinks of the concubine hidden in the courtyard, the appearance of the little bird is very difficult to extricate herself. Therefore, Tang Sanbiao stepped into a small alley in Chongqing, the second largest city in Sichuan Province, today.

Generally speaking, the layout of China's capital city resembles a chessboard, with the main roads running straight across the board, and the two roads are wide enough for several carriages to pass at the same time. The quadrangular space formed between the main roads is called Fang, which is an administrative area of the city, which can be called li or jia, and this layout originated in the Tang Dynasty. The main road that distinguishes each square is called the main road, the small road in each square is called the small road, and the narrow passage between the houses is called the alley. People in the city often use the hutong unit when they say their address.

Among them, Chunwangfang Liuhua Hutong is a private prostitution street, so people who live here will not tell their addresses to the public. Tang Sanbiao, the third son of the Tangmen in Sichuan, will patronize this Liuhua Hutong three or four times a year, if the people of the Tang Sect know about this, the consequences will be unimaginable. Thankfully, no one knows about him yet. If it weren't for someone deliberately approaching him at a banquet three years ago, I guess he wouldn't have known that such a place existed until now. Moreover, there is a small door in the backyard of Qingxiang Pavilion, the first brothel in Chongqing, leading to Liuhua Hutong, which was also known at that time. Who would have thought that in Chaoyangfang, the most prosperous city in Chongqing, the backyard of the largest brothel will lead to the lowest slum in Chongqing.

The alley is narrow enough for two people to walk side by side, and there is sewage everywhere, and the potholed ground makes it difficult to get started. In the middle of the night, if he took a wrong step, he would splash his body with sewage, so Tang Sanbiao could only keep his head down and take every step carefully. If it was daytime, Tang Sanbiao would also walk with his head down (although, he would never come here during the day.) If he is recognized, the consequences are unimaginable, and if he is not done, he will not be able to save his head. What he is going to do now is also something he has done several times, if his father, the head of the contemporary Sichuan Tang Sect - Thousand Hands Tai Sui Tang Dafang knows......!

Tang Sanbiao felt a cold current flowing from his back to his hair, which was terrifying.

"!"

If his father hadn't been so him, he wouldn't have done such a thing. If his father could understand that an heir from a traditional famous family needs to spend a lot of money, even a little, it would not let Tang Sanbiao do something that violates the family rules.

"This really is the last time!"

Although he didn't know how many times this was the last time he made his determination, Tang Sanbiao still silently recited his fearless determination again, and found a low and broken wooden door from the narrow alley and pushed it in. The small door was so short that Tang Sanbiao could only step in by bending down almost completely, and after entering the small door, he also kept bending down and continued to walk more than a foot away in a cave-like passage, and only then did there appear that he could stand upright, during which he clearly felt that several pairs of eyes had been staring at him. There must have been some people lurking on the walls of the cave who had been observing the people who had been going back and forth, after all, Tang Sanbiao was also a master who could easily detect these.

Should we say that this is the wisdom of life? No, it is more appropriate to call it the wisdom of survival. The terrain built by the master, even the master is difficult to get out of this cave, which shows the wisdom of this master. Although he didn't know who the owner was, at least Tang Sanbiao was very sure that it was not the middle-aged old man in front of him who was yellowed and dying. He was the only person Tang Sanbiao had known since he did this, and he was the one who introduced him to this matter at that banquet in the first place.

"Please come with me!"

The middle-aged old man in front of him called himself Wu Guanshi, and this person would never say a word when he did things. Although at this time, he was stretching out his hand and posing as a very polite guest to lead, but the words he spit out did not have a trace of warmth, and his attitude was also very perfunctory. Tang Sanbiao didn't respond, just silently walked in the direction that Steward Wu pointed out. Steward Wu immediately walked to his side, stretched out his hand and handed over something, Tang Sanbiao didn't say a word, and directly took the thing in his hand and covered his face. This is the rule, people who come here must cover their faces before they can pass, and there are already two people wearing masks in the room where Steward Wu walked in, and it is not difficult to guess that the two masked people in front of him are today's trading partners.

There was a table in the room, and Steward Wu walked over to the table and spoke to the traders on both sides.

"The authenticity of the objects and prices traded today is guaranteed by us. To be fair, the intermediary fee for both parties is discounted. If you have any objections to this, you can leave the place immediately. ”

This is what Steward Wu says before the start of every transaction, although it is a rule that he has known for a long time, he feels very secure every time he listens to it. Tang Sanbiao has never raised any opinions on this, and it seems that the other party is the same.

"Please put it on!"

Tang Sanbiao carefully took out a box from his chest and put it on the table. At the same time, at the same time, the other party bent down to pick up a large box and placed it on the table.

"Please confirm the goods!"

Steward Wu said as he pushed the two boxes towards both sides. Tang Sanbiao casually opened the box that had been pushed in front of him, and saw that the goods reflected by the two candles emitted a brilliant light.

Gold ingots!

Nuggets that looked like ships, each worth ten taels of gold. A whole box full of gold ingots, Tang Sanbiao nodded unconsciously under the golden power. One thousand taels of gold is also a lot of money for the Sichuan Tangmen, who despise the world. It also proves that the goods he brought are worth this price, and according to everyone's different ideas, this thing may be worth ten times more than this, and it is a pity that no one has exchanged this money for these things.

"Half a tael of disc dove plasma, half a tael of meridian burning heart, one tael of immortal waste and gentleman scatter, a little soul sand and five bare stalk steel shuttles. Its corresponding value is one thousand taels of gold. Are both parties satisfied?"

After listening to Steward Wu's words, Tang Sanbiao nodded again, it seemed that the other party was also very satisfied with this. I don't want to know that these are four of the eight poisons of the Tang Sect and two of the eight secret weapons, and their value is a thousand taels but they are cheaper, and this is not satisfied, that is, greed.

"Then please pay the brokerage fee. ”

Tang Sanbiao immediately took out ten gold ingots and put them on the table, and then glanced at the other party, but he was really startled. The other party once again brought a box of the same size as before and put it in front of the table, and took out the intermediary fee from it, which showed that the other party now had an extra nine hundred taels of gold.

But it seems that Steward Wu has no interest in this, and after receiving two hundred taels of gold, he looks very satisfied, and thinks about ending the transaction and says.

"This is the end of the transaction. What is happening here today must not be spread in the ......!"

He swept back and forth, and said with a sinister smile that leaked slightly.

"You should know, right?"

That smile was more terrifying than any other threat, and Tang Sanbiao nodded continuously. At this moment, the slightly smaller of the two raised his hand and said.

"We are very pleased with this transaction. We're not people who don't sit idle and chew on the root of our tongues, so you don't have to say such threatening words. How about we want to make another deal with that person?"

Listening to this voice, it was like an old man, who had been silent just now, but suddenly opened his mouth, which surprised Tang Sanbiao. More surprised than him was Steward Wu, not so much surprised, the wrinkled look on his face was more like angry, angry at this extra deal.

"This has nothing to do with our store, please deal with it separately!"

The masked man nodded.

"That's what you're going to do, is this one interested?"

Although Tang Sanbiao was very clueless, he still nodded. I didn't know how many times I nodded this day, and I inexplicably felt that I was about to become a fool, but when I thought that this gold would be in my hands soon, what else could he do but nod.

"Then don't leave it at that!"

Although it was also a false etiquette when he came, at least he still had a solemn attitude, but at this moment, Steward Wu was more like driving away the three of them like a puppy. In this way, after completing the transaction in the black shop of the most secret gang on the rivers and lakes, the next game was changed to a hidden place in Liuhua Hutong.

"Just tell me one thing, this box is yours, Childe. ”

At this time, neither party wanted the other party to know their identities, Tang Sanbiao looked at the two people standing in the shadows, and at the same time tried to get closer to the invisible shadows, and said.

"I wonder if I have the ability to answer an answer worth nine hundred taels of gold. ”

No one but Childe could answer this answer. ”

The old man's words sounded like he was exalting Tang Sanbiao, but in fact, no one could answer it except him. This matter is only known to ten people in the Tang Sect of Sichuan, and only those who are eager for money dare to say it, that is Tang Sanbiao.

"How can I meet the skillful Heavenly Craftsman Sima Zangli?"

Among all the families with the surname Sima, there are few families with such talents, and there are few families that are so hidden. When it comes to making something, no one in the world will win them. There will be people who want to give this to others. Even if the ancient famous worker Lu survived, he would have to give him three points, this is the current famous worker family - the skillful Thousand Illusion Sima family. Now the head of this Sima family is that Sima Zangli, and it is rumored that this person has nothing that he can't do, and if there is, he can't even do it. The man of God with such a brilliant reputation is the hand of God that the old man in front of him is looking for.

Of course, Tang Sanbiao knew the answer, but to say this was to completely violate one of the three taboos of the Tang Sect. The secret weapon of the Tang Sect that has been passed down from generation to generation, the so-called most delicate and secret secret weapon in the world is from the Sima family. If this Sima family appeared in front of the eyes of the world, it would undoubtedly mean that the secrets of the Tang Sect were exposed......

Tang Sanbiao swallowed dryly and was silent for a while. In the darkness, his gaze kept moving back and forth between the old man and the box. The box of money was worth the deal, and the hypocritical determination he had made before was probably going to come true this time. Tang Sanbiao swallowed again and said.

"A thousand taels of gold!"

He reached out and pulled the box at the old man's feet to his side and continued.

"Add a thousand taels of gold and I'll take you to him." If I hadn't led the way, even the ghosts wouldn't have been able to find him. ”
