The county town of Chuanning County is very prosperous, much more lively than the county town of Chuanming County.

When Du Yong and his group arrived in the city, it was only half a morning. However, it was difficult to find an inn. They asked four of them in a row.

Finally, I found a house near the county government. The reason why it was not full was because the price was quite expensive. Of course, Du Yong and his group did not lack money and opened six rooms.

After putting down my luggage, I ordered a table of wine and food in the lobby downstairs, eating and drinking slowly, chatting about gossip.

"Oh my God, I thought I was back in Ganzhou City!"

Lingling held a teacup and looked through the window at the bustling traffic outside, feeling deeply moved.

Qingyao echoed: "It's really prosperous."

Both of them were dressed as men, wearing men's buns, and wearing samurai uniforms. It was indeed like that, but if you look carefully, you will know that they are daughters, with white faces, tender flesh, petite figures, red lips, white teeth, and thin eyebrows. The most important thing is that their chests are not tangled.

Du Yong did not point out their flaws in dressing like this, just do it.

Yang Jin smiled and said, "Chuanning County's population, economy and soldiers can all rank among the top three in Ganzhou, which is the best among the big counties. Especially the city wall was renovated a few years ago and a large number of urban defense facilities were added. It is a small fortress. No matter what the chaos outside the city is, the city is always safe. Some days ago, many wealthy families in the south of Ganzhou went north, most of them went to Ganzhou City to settle down, and a small number of them arrived at the county town of Chuanning County, so it was so lively."

Dahei sighed: "Kawa Ming and Chuan Ning are both next to Zhuang Yu Lake, but in terms of momentum, Chuan Ning will explode into Chuan Ning."

He Laosan chewed heavily at the desk and did not forget to complain: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Chuanming County is just a small county, how can you compare?"

Dahei sighed, "That's right, the environment is obviously similar, why doesn't Chuanming County build a city? If the city is built, will it become a big county? The defense is strengthened and the attraction is stronger, and the superiors will pay more attention to it."

He Laosan sneered: "What you said is like playing house, how can you build a city be that simple? Chuanning County was able to build a city in the past because the county magistrate was transferred from the capital and had a strong background, so the proposal to build a city can be passed, and the Ministry of Revenue can also allocate funds."

"That's how it works!"

Dahei grabbed his head and suddenly realized.

Du Yong praised: "Brother He San, his history is good!"

He Laosan raised his head, wiped his mouth, waved his hand and said modestly: "Young Master is too proud. Actually, I didn't learn it specifically. I heard what the old man said when I was in the second-hand market."

Yang Jin said, "The reason why Chuanning County is more attractive is that in addition to its identity as a big county, there is another important reason, that is, it is closer to the black market. People from all walks of life are crowded together. Although it is not conducive to public security, it also promotes economic development. With the strengthening of the supervision of black markets in various places, the black market has become more and more formal. Although there are still many illegal things, it is much better than ten years ago. At least there are few people gathering and fighting."

Dahei said: "Isn't there a big fight in the black market in the southern suburbs of Pingzhou last time?"

Yang Jin explained: "That's because the Fire Wolf Gang and the Holy Dan Gate advanced into Pingzhou, disrupting the balance of local jianghu forces, otherwise it would not be so chaotic."

Dahei nodded slightly.

Du Yong chuckled and said, "I hope there will be no major events in the black market in Chuanning County, so let's relax and take a walk."

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you are shopping or not. The main thing is to take hold of Boss Liu who is engaged in jade trading and get more clues from the Fire Wolf Gang.

The part of the Fire Wolf Gang must be dealt with to death.

He Laosan nodded: "Young Master, in addition to shopping, we also have to sell jade."

Suddenly, a black-faced man in his thirties came up, first gave a whisper, and then smiled and said, "Brothers, do you want to go to the black market to sell jade?"

He Laosan just said that when he was selling jade, he was careful to lower his voice, but the black-faced man pointed it out in one sentence, obviously eavesdropping, and it was a gathering of true energy and eavesdropping.

Yang Jin looked at him squintly and said coldly: "Who are you? Sign up for me first!"

Lingling and Qingyao both felt very funny. In their impression, Yang Jin has always been a gentle and respectable elder brother, but now he has a mature image of having been in the world for many years.

Especially Yang Jin's tone, there was a strong pressure in his dissatisfaction, which ordinary people would definitely not be able to withstand.

However, this black-faced man is not an ordinary person. He was not affected at all. He said with a smile: "Please calm down, brother! It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that we may be able to talk about cooperation."

Yang Jin waved: "I'm in a good mood today, I won't scold you. You can walk away immediately. I don't like guys who pretend to be mysterious, and I don't like to talk about cooperation with people of unknown origin."

The black-faced man was obviously a thick-skinned. Instead of walking away, he sat next to Yang Jin with a stool and chuckled, "Don't be so angry, it hurts your body. If you don't mind, just call me a jadeite."

"A jade-like man?"

Yang Jin knew that the other party did it on purpose, but he was still curious: "People who specialize in tasting jade?"

Du Yong and others were also a little curious, and they all looked at the black-faced man, wanting to hear how he explained.

Seeing this, the black-faced man chuckled softly, and did not answer the question immediately, but looked at Du Yong: "This young man looks so handsome and has a very handsome face. I guess he came from Beijing or Pingzhou City?"

Du Yong was even more curious: "Why is it not Qianzhou City, or Chuanming County, or Quzhou City?"

The black-faced man smiled and explained: "I am familiar with Qianzhou City, and I have all the impression of the famous young master. Chuanming County is just a small county, and it has encountered a disaster some time ago. People with a little wealth choose to move out. As for Quzhou, although it is located in the south of Qianzhou, there are now many outlaws gathered at the junction of the two states, which is very dangerous. Several official roads are not easy to walk on and are not conducive to passage."

Du Yong smiled and did not answer where he came from, but said that he would be the original topic: "Peacher Jade?"

The black-faced man nodded and explained: "Ancient jade, new jade, jade pendant, jade bracelet, jade pendant, jade ornament, jade raw stone... As long as it is related to jade, I know a little about it. I can evaluate the price and have connections in the black market and can help people ship it quickly."

Du Yong said, "So what you said just now is that cooperation means...you help us pianyu, evaluate the price, and then take us to the black market to find suitable buyers. After shipment, I will give you some handling fees. Is that true?"

The black-faced man gave a thumbs up: "Young Master, Ming Jian! Please rest assured, I not only have reliable work, but also have fair prices, but I will never ask about the source of the goods."

Dahei smiled and said, "I'm so kind of polite. I've seen many people like you, most of them are liars. And you don't know how to ask about the source of goods. Will you ask about it on the black market?"

The black-faced man was questioned as a liar and was not angry. He smiled and asked, "Brother, you care so much about the source of the goods. Is the goods in your hands shameful?"

Dahei was furious when he heard this and pointed at his nose: "I solemnly warn you not to talk or guess, otherwise I will not care about what kind of jade or tea taster you are, and I will beat you into a pig's head."

He Laosan echoed: "That's right, it's a pig's head!"

The black-faced man apologized immediately: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. It was my fault just now, and the question was not so appropriate. But I still want to say that some people who receive goods on the black market really care about the source of the goods. There is nothing to do with acquaintances, and I am an acquaintance. I can help you ship the goods quickly, so there is no need to worry about being maliciously suppressed."

Du Yong smiled: "You said it very nicely, but..."

Seeing that Du Yong seemed to be loose, the black-faced man showed joy and asked quickly, "But what?"

Du Yong said in a deep voice: "But I doubt your so-called acquaintance... Although I have never been to the Sichuan-Ning Black Market, I still have some understanding of jade. Can you tell me a few jade bosses come out and listen?"

"sure!"

The black-faced man immediately nodded and explained with his fingers: "Boss Zhang, only collects complete ancient jade. Boss Chen, collects jade pendants and bracelets. Boss Liu, collects all kinds of jade artifacts, and likes raw stones the most because he likes to bet."

Du Yong looked at He Laosan and Dahei because they went to the black market to investigate in advance and knew the general situation.

He Laosan nodded slightly. He had indeed heard of these three bosses and his characteristics were not wrong.

Du Yong was slightly happy, but he remained calm and continued to ask: "I'll ask you again, who is that...who is that boss Liu?"

The black-faced man smiled bitterly: "Young Master, how can I know this? On the black market, whether it is a seller, a buyer, or even a middleman, most of them have a few layers of skin. If you want to ask the surface, I can tell you that Boss Liu is a wealthy young man. He said that the young man is not suitable because he is in his forties this year. He inherited the family business of his distant cousin and two pawnshops in his early years, but he didn't like this business, so he sold the pawnshop and then mingled in the black market... I have done several transactions with him, and they are all very happy. He is very generous and has a typical heroic character, so he is very rich in the black market in Sichuan Ning."

Yang Jin interrupted: "It sounds pretty good... How strong is Boss Liu? Do you have many thugs under him?"

The black-faced man said in surprise: "Brother, why are you asking these?"

Yang Jin said lightly: "I'm afraid that after selling his good goods, he will be missed by him and the rest of our goods."

The black-faced man said happily: "So you have a lot of goods, and you didn't get a wrong conversation now!"

Yang Jin frowned.

The black-faced man replied to the topic: "Boss Liu is not that despicable. But since my brother asked, I will answer it. I don't know what Boss Liu's specific strength is, but I heard from others that it seems that he is climbing the fifth level of the tower. He has more than a dozen good men under him, and he is mainly responsible for the safety of goods on weekdays. After all, Boss Liu's family is big and it is normal for more people to work."

Du Yong nodded and issued an order to expel guests: "How to contact us?"

The black-faced man was overjoyed: "My room is on the third floor, so I'll be waiting for you at any time!"

After saying that, he stood up, bowed his hand, walked a few steps and turned back, and said to Du Yong: "Young Master, can you show me a jade artifact first to open your eyes?"

Du Yong smiled and said, "What is the eye-opener? Do you want to see it as the truth, so as not to wait in vain?"

The black-faced man was a little embarrassed, but also admitted: "Young Master laughs!"

"The jade is in the room, I don't want to take it now!"

Du Yong explained lightly, then pulled the jade hairpin from Lingling's head: "If you want to open your eyes, just wait. Now I want to test your professional knowledge. How much does this jade hairpin cost? If you don't want to wait or don't want to answer, you can leave now, and we will pretend that we have never seen it."

"Young Master, forgive me!"

The black-faced man quickly took the jade hairpin and glanced at it for a few seconds: "It is worth about 170 taels. If you sell it in a high-end store, you will probably be able to buy 22 to 26."

Lingling exclaimed: "It's exactly two hundred and two! The store is so unreasonable. She actually makes so much money, but she still says she doesn't make money."

“Stores will say that!”

The black-faced man smiled relaxedly, returned the hairpin with both hands, and then said goodbye, without turning around again.

After he left, Qingyao lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, that man is so powerful. He can guess where we came from. And he is not afraid of Brother Yang, even looking at the jade hairpin is so powerful."

Yang Jin said in a deep voice: "This so-called jade-grade man is definitely a master. Even if I try my best, I may not be able to eat him steadily. His fists have very tight punch calluses. Without more than ten years of hard work, he will not achieve that effect. Don't look at him as thin as he can hit a tiger with just one punch."

Dahei, Lingling and Qingyao were shocked.

He Laosan was not surprised: "The black market is a crouching tiger and a hidden dragon!"

Du Yongze said: "That boss Liu is even more powerful. He is the fifth level of the tower. The key is that he is only in his forties. Logically speaking, he should be able to be called a top student in the world."

Dahei murmured, "It must be an exaggeration to climb the fifth floor of the tower."

He Lao San laughed: "Brother Hei, why do I sound sour when I say this tone?"

Dahei snorted coldly: "What's sour? Isn't it just climbing the fifth level of the tower? I've also seen Mr. Qu and Mr. Nie. Which one is not better than that boss Liu?"

Qingyao said curiously: "Young Master, why do you care so much about that Boss Liu?"

Du Yong shrugged and explained casually: "Boss Liu takes all kinds of jade artifacts, of course I care about him. We want to sell jade."

Lingling was a little worried: "Our jades were obtained from the Mo family, will they get into trouble?"

Du Yong asked back: "What's the trouble?"

Lingling explained: "Isn't the Mo family the tyrant of the Shengdan Sect? We picked jade ornaments from the Mo family. If they were sold and they happened to be seen by the masters of the Shengdan Sect, wouldn't they come to the door?"

Du Yong chuckled and said, "The ones we chose are not rare items. Who can tell that they must have been taken out of the Mo family warehouse? Besides, now that Huang Youji has been arrested and the Mo family has been confiscated, why dares the Shengdan Sect to jump in Qianzhou?"

The members of the Shengdan Sect in Qianzhou should be in a panic now, because Lao Fan's stronghold was dropped, but the government did not release a notice of victory. Therefore, the people of the Shengdan Sect would definitely not act rashly, but silently investigate who was the one who was responsible for Lao Fan's stronghold.

After dinner, it happened to be noon.

Qingyao and Lingling both had the habit of taking a nap, so they went back to their room to sleep.

Du Yong didn't sleep enough last night and went back to his room to sleep.

Yang Jin went back to his room to meditate.
Chapter completed!
