Chapter 58 The Black Market

When he got home, Wu Jun was thinking about whether he would go to the black market to take a look and get some medicinal materials back.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Qin Yue'er reading books in the hall, and her face changed drastically.

"Miss Yue'er, you're possessed by evil spirits!"

Qin Yue'er raised her face and said with a little confusion: "No?"

Wu Jun was suspicious and said, "You are not evil and you are reading?"

Qin Yue'er suddenly looked speechless and sighed: "I was looking at the files compiled in the yamen. The writing was messy and I couldn't see any clues at all."

Wu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to pick up the file and read it, and said, "Nothing is difficult to understand. The cat demon Qian San disguised himself as a yamen runner and got into the demon-catching yamen. On the file, he is single and has no wife and children at home. His only hobby is to go to the brothel to listen to music."

"The coroner Hong Fang, who is fifty years old, has a wife at home, who is a prostitute who was redeemed from a brothel."

"These two like to hang out in the gouyuan, maybe there is the place where they connect..."

Qin Yue'er frowned and said, "No, they are working in the demon hunting yamen. Why do they have to go to the raid joint? Isn't this an unnecessary move?"

Wu Jun said: "If they have too close relationships and one is exposed, the other may be implicated. But the tramps are different. Men and their hobbies are similar. When they meet in that kind of place, they will not arouse suspicion even if they are seen."

Qin Yue'er's eyes stern: "Is the food there delicious?"

“…”

Wu Jun rolled his eyes slightly and complained: "You don't have any greed in your mind. Apart from eating, can't men have any other hobbies..."

As he was talking, Wu Jun suddenly noticed a line of text on the file and couldn't help but pause slightly: "Hey, the Hongxiuzhao that they often go to, the boss is Lianxiang?"

Qin Yue'er raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you know her?"

Wu Jun nodded: "This Lianxiang is a friend of the aunt from Huancai Pavilion. She also gave her sandalwood, uh... the kind that has smoked her hair."

Qin Yue'er lowered her head and thought: "With this relationship, it is not surprising that Qian San can know Nian Nu. As long as he is with Lian Xiang, he will have the opportunity to approach Nian Nu and attack her. I will go and catch Lian Xiang!"

Wu Jun glanced at Qin Yue'er and said, "If I were not mistaken, Lianxiang would have run away long ago. It is difficult for me to distinguish between the demon-catcher yamen, and there is no secret to it."

Qin Yue'er trembled and widened her eyes and said, "There are other spies in the yamen?"

Wu Jun nodded: "This is certain. If there is no protective umbrella in the yamen, how could they hide until now?"

Qin Yue'er looked worried and frowned, "If this is the case, it will be a disaster. Do you have a way to find the spies one by one?"

Wu Junai said: "This is difficult. The enemy may have already achieved the position of commander level. Unless a special investigation team has the power to take action first and then report, it will definitely be difficult to investigate."

At this time, Xia Kui walked out of the door and said, "This is a good idea. I will suggest it to Your Majesty. In fact, there was an institution in the Imperial City Division that was specifically responsible for supervising the internal yamen. Because the official office is located in the east of the Imperial City, it is also called Dongchang."

"If the East Factory is reopened, you are a good candidate for the factory."

As he said that, he looked at Wu Jun with expectations.

Wu Jun twitched his cheek hard, and said with a slight smile: "Uncle is joking. I am a young boy, so how can I suppress those commanders? If I really want to choose a factory man, I feel that you are more suitable for uncle!"

Xia Kui smiled and said, "I only know how to fight and kill. I can't do such things that require brains. Let Your Majesty choose another person." After that, he put his hat on his head and walked out with great strides.

Wu Jun had a simple lunch and came to the city with Qin Yue'er, looking for the black market located in the suburbs of Beijing.

After searching for a long time, Wu Jun said with some distress: "Are you sure the black market is here?"

Qin Yue'er said with some uncertainty: "The file is written on the suburbs of the east city, and it may have been changed to the place?"

Wu Jun sighed slightly, regretting not finding someone to ask.

Just when he was worried, suddenly, a familiar figure of hunched over came into his eyes, making him feel a little dazed, and then he shouted, "Old Xu! Why are you here?"

Lao Xu walked towards this side slowly, looked at Wu Jun, and said, "Oh, it's your boy."

"A few days ago, my relatives in the capital found me a job, including food and accommodation, ten taels of silver a month, and they were still in charge of four or five hundred people. When I heard that there was such a good job, I immediately packed up my bags and ran over."

Wu Jun said with a look of surprise: "There is such a good thing, what kind of errand is it?"

Lao Xu's wrinkled face showed a smile: "Look at the cemetery."

Wu Jun: "…"

After a moment of speechlessness, Wu Jun continued to ask, "Then why don't you take a good look at your cemetery, why are you here to do?"

Lao Xu looked at Wu Jun's depressed expression with satisfaction and laughed: "There are no new residents in the cemetery recently. I have nothing to do to carve a Buddha statue to see if I can get it on the black market and sell it at a good price."

Wu Jun's eyes lit up instantly: "Do you know where the black market is?"

Old Xu nodded lightly and said, "Are you two going to the black market too? Let's go together." As he said that, he turned from the main road and walked towards the mountains.

Soon, Lao Xu led the two to a cave.

After walking through the narrow tunnel, my eyes suddenly became clear. It turned out to be an open canyon.

On the flat ground in the canyon, there are various small stalls, which look like a market.

However, unlike ordinary markets, many stall owners and pedestrians wear masks or hide their faces in their cloaks, as if they don’t want people to see their faces clearly.

Lao Xu found an open space, spread the bag, sat on the ground, then took out a statue wrapped in red cloth from his arms and said, "You go buy something, I'll be here."

Wu Jun nodded and took Qin Yue'er to the market.

Soon, Wu Jun exchanged a bottle of detoxification pill for the poison he wanted, and couldn't help feeling very good.

Just as he was about to leave, a strange fragrance suddenly penetrated into his mouth and nose. Wu Jun was slightly stunned. He turned to look and found that someone was lit by a sandalwood, which was selling the effects of sandalwood to the buyer.
