In the Lingnan black market, Li Luoyang, Chaijin and Wu Song all looked at the child in front of them. The child was only as tall as Wu Song's waist and looked about 11 or 12 years old. However, Li Luoyang noticed that the child's hands were covered with many calluses, which may be the marks left by regular work.
"I wonder what kind of things the three guests need to buy? Women? Servant girls? Martial arts scripts?"
Li Luoyang put his hands on his knees and looked down at the child: "why do you think we want to buy Women? Can we still buy people here?" Li Luoyang didn't expect to buy living people in the black market. Such a transaction is more like a slave market for Li Luoyang.
"Many men come here to buy Women or servant girls, or buy slaves to go back for training. Some slaves have good talents and can become good guards with a little training. I think you are like businessmen. Are you looking for slaves here to cultivate your own guards?" the child mistakenly thought that Li Luoyang opened restaurants or other industries, I came here to choose slaves to take back for training and finally become the guard of the restaurant.
"It seems that your ability to observe people needs to be improved. We're not here to buy these things."
"What's that?" the child looked at Li Luoyang with innocent eyes.
"We need intelligence."
"Oh, so it is. I have the information I need." the child opened the gunny bag he was carrying, which contained a lot of bamboo chips, on which a lot of information was written.
Wu Song smiled and asked, "are you a tour guide or a businessman?"
"Both."
"Since you are a businessman, why don't you go to that tent?"
The child turned to look at a tent and said with a smile, "people like them who only sit in the store and wait for customers will never make a fortune. They should take the initiative to do business!"
Li Luoyang was a little surprised. The concept of children was the same as that in his previous era. It was the foundation of basic business that businessmen would always be eliminated. However, he didn't expect that this concept had been advanced so many years, which was still said by a child.
"What's your name?" Li Luoyang asked curiously.
"My guest, it's taboo to inquire about the identity of others in the black market."
Li Luoyang took out a hundred Liang silver notes and handed them to the child. Then he smiled and said, "I don't want to ask about your identity, but can I know your purpose of coming to the black market at a young age?" Li Luoyang wanted to know what drove such a young child to come to such a dangerous place. Li Luoyang seemed to see his own shadow on this child, When Li Luoyang was about the same age as this child, he set foot on the road to Luoyang City alone, and finally established his first force there.
After receiving the tip from Li Luoyang, the child whispered, "there are two reasons why I came here. First, I need money to buy what I want, such as weapons. I like to practice martial arts. Second, Shifu told me before leaving that the more dangerous the place is, the more I can exercise my judgment and improve my experience, so I came here to hone myself."
Hearing the child's words, Wu Song laughed wildly. His thick palm patted the child's thin shoulder: "boy, you're so boastful. You're here to hone yourself? Aren't you afraid of losing your life?"
The child said firmly, "not afraid! Only in this way can we continuously improve and increase our strength!"
Li Luoyang was puzzled: "what do you want in the end with so much effort?"
"I want to be a man like Zhou Xiangong and serve the country faithfully."
Li Luoyang stared at the clean and innocent eyes in front of him and thought to himself, "be loyal to the country? This is very familiar! This may be a coincidence. How can that character appear here? Forget it, it's still important."
"Since you sell intelligence, I'd like to see if you have what we need." Li Luoyang looked around, then whispered in the child's ear: "we need information about Hua Rong, preferably the specific location of his detention."
The child looked at Li Luoyang in surprise: "are you sure?"
"OK."
"I don't have the ability to get this kind of news, but I already know your identity now, and only the heroes from Liangshan will inquire about Hua Rong?" the child's thinking is really mature. Li Luoyang's words let him instantly understand the identity of the three people in front of him, but Li Luoyang doesn't care, because he's not from Liangshanpo at all.
"It's taboo to inquire about the identity of others. You said it yourself. Since you don't have what we want here, do you know who has it in the black market?" Chaijin said to the child with a smile.
The child lowered his head as if thinking about something. A moment later, he looked up at Chaijin: "this is highly confidential news. I estimate that only one person in the whole black market may have it, but it is only possible."
"Who? Take us?"
Pointing to the deepest part of the black market, the child said slowly, "Bao inquired. That guy is a famous intelligence businessman in the black market. He specializes in selling confidential information. Maybe he will have it in his hand, but you'd better not hold too much hope. Hua Rong is a key criminal of Lingnan government and the imperial court. His information is strictly confidential before execution."
With that, the child took Li Luoyang and his party to the depths of the black market. Through the black market, Li Luoyang saw many women with untidy clothes, their hands bound by iron chains and tied to wooden stakes in the tent. Li Luoyang asked suspiciously, "what are these?"
The child was used to answering, "those women are goods. Some of them are good-looking in the tent, and some of them are poor. If someone can see them, they can buy them and take them away directly."
Li Luoyang didn't expect that the selling here was so direct. She tied the women directly outside the tent like a dog and waited for the owner's care and redemption. If no one bought, these women would eventually die in a foreign land.
"Where did those businessmen get these women?" Chai chin asked in a low voice with a frown.
"Of course, they robbed it. Many businessmen here are actually mountain thieves. They rob everyone passing by. They want everything except the elderly and children. Women and men are sent to the black market to sell. Other things can be taken as they can, but they can't be taken as they can. There are so many mountain thieves' dens near Lingnan city. Naturally, many mountain thieves come here to sell things."
Li Luoyang put his mouth to Chaijin's ear and whispered, "these are the mountain thieves under the protection of Zhang Qiong. They have been unscrupulous for a long time. Is there no action by the imperial court?"
Chai Jin shook his head reluctantly: "I don't know. Lingnan has never fought unrest. Naturally, the imperial court won't care about those small-scale mountain bandits. Their focus is on the field and Manichaeism, and they won't care about the people's life at all."
