Chapter 32 Black Market Transactions

After walking along the corridor for more than ten minutes, Jiang Youning arrived at an alley.

Here is the largest black market in the capital - Yanque Street. This street is completely isolated from the outside world. Even the current emperor is unaware of the existence of this street.

Here, all kinds of shady transactions take place every day.

What people outside dare not buy, we dare to buy here.

Anything that you dare not sell can be sold here.

Jiang Youning glanced around inconspicuously with his peripheral vision, and walked forward step by step with his head held high and his chest puffed out.

Many eyes were fixed on Jiang Youning with ill intentions, but since she didn't seem to be a stranger who came here for the first time and was curious about everything, no one dared to approach her with any bad intentions.

Seeing Jiang Youning walk into the Shadow Pavilion, everyone turned their gazes away.

Those who could enter the Shadow Pavilion were not people they could easily target.

In the Shadow Pavilion, the light was dim, and all kinds of strange patterns were carved on the surrounding stone walls.

The most eye-catching thing is the stone statue of a werewolf located in the center of the hall.

The wolf king bared his fangs, and his two eyes, made of unknown material, emitted a green glow, looking inexplicably penetrating.

Jiang Youning looked around calmly, and the hoarse voice rang out again.

"Is there anyone willing to take the job? Even a ghost would be fine."

"This lady is quite interesting."

A man wearing a black robe and a fanged ghost mask slowly descended from the sky along a rope.

Against the dim background, it looks like he is flying and falling from the sky.

"You're quite interesting, too."

Jiang Youning grinned calmly.

"What does this lady want from my Shadow Pavilion?"

The neutral voice is a bit hoarse, like the throat being cut, which is a bit unpleasant.

"Sell some small things."

"I wonder what the young lady is selling?"

"Poison, and a pill that can make people tell the truth. I wonder if you are interested?"

"oh?"

The man suddenly became interested.

"Miss, are these things from a clean source?"

“Innocent”

"Then do you want it?"

Jiang Youning took out two small bottles from his sleeves.

"We need to test the pill level."

The man seemed very interested.

"Okay, I'm the only one with the antidote for this poison. I'll give you one pill each, including the truth pill. Go test the effects first."

"good."

He took out a badge shaped like a flying bird and threw it to Jiang Youning.

"Tomorrow at 17:00, at Jiu'an Pawnshop on West Street, Miss, please use this item to enter through the back door. If it is useful, we will give you a fair price."

"no problem."

Jiang Youning pursed his lips and smiled, then swaggered out of the black market.

She sold things mainly to earn points so that she could expand the space in her small backpack, which was really too small.

I took some pills to maintain my appearance.

After Jiang Youning went out again, he walked into a clothing store and bought a new set of clothes to change into. He only appeared in public again after the effect of the medicine wore off.

later.

Imperial Master's Mansion.

study.

Qian Yan suddenly rushed in to report.

"Master, someone went to Shadow Pavilion to sell medicine today. There is a poison that even Doctor Ye Shen can't cure. There is a pill that makes people tell the truth. It is very effective."

"And then?"

Qing Qianxue spoke coldly, the plum blossoms in her hands bloomed on the paper, and the silk was not affected at all.

"Then, tomorrow at 4 p.m., that person will go to Jiu'an Pawnshop to sell medicine.

And my Lord, that young woman has such a thing, her origin must be not simple."

When talking about this, Qian Yan's face showed doubt.

“But they still lost the man.”

Qing Qianxue uttered a few words calmly.

Qian Yan quickly knelt on the ground.

"Master, please forgive me. That woman is a bit weird. The people from Shadow Pavilion followed me to a clothing store, and then there was no trace of her anymore.

Besides, that clothing store was doing a booming business, with all kinds of cosmetics and powders mixed in there, and the brothers were all big bosses, so it was difficult to investigate even if we wanted to.”

"Within three days, find out where she came from."

Qing Qianxue's tone was still cold.

There was no punishment. Qian Yan was stunned for a moment. Fearing that Qing Qianxue would go back on her word, he quickly ran out with a smile on his face.

"I will give the order right away. Brothers will definitely live up to the trust of the master!"

After Qian Yan left, Qing Qianxue looked up.

A drop of red ink from the pen fell on the white paper, smudged into a brilliant red.

A painting of winter plum blossoms had a flaw in this way.

There was a rare hint of confusion in Qing Qianxue's cold eyes.

When he was doing the deduction these two days, he found that there was also an undeducible variable in his unsolvable fate.

That variable means life.

Who would want to die if they can live?

But he couldn't find the answer to where that vitality was.

After leaving the black market, Jiang Youning found an old carpenter and told him all his ideas.

The old carpenter was very excited as it was his first time to take on this novel job. He chatted with Jiang Youning for a long time and even gave him a discount.

Jiang Youning visited another blacksmith, who was as excited as the old carpenter.

Both of them agreed to go to the tavern to work starting tomorrow, and then come back to resume business after the work is completed.

After explaining all this.

Jiang Youning ordered another batch of materials. When she learned that her sister was going to accompany Xie Ciyan, she sighed and took Chuntao and Xiahe back home first.

later.

Jiang Wanrong was sent back from the farewell banquet.

As soon as they arrived at the yard, Jiang Youning went to visit them.

"Sister, how was your trip with Mr. Xie? Have you arranged everything you need?"

"Well, thank you, Young Marquis, for your prudent and careful management. With his help, we can start to renovate the tavern tomorrow."

Jiang Wanrong nodded.

There was still a layer of blush on his cheeks that had not yet faded.

"That's good."

Jiang Youning nodded.

[Not bad, not bad, the boy is really good at dealing with people. Look at how blushing my sister is.]
