Chapter 1199 Black Market Relocation
Xiang Weinan picked up the iron plate, smiled at Shu Yu, and said, "So you still didn't get to use it?"
"I appreciate your kind offer, sir."
Yes, you accepted it, and then you gave me some specialties from Beijing?
Xiang Weinan snorted coldly, put away the iron plate, then asked Shu Yu to sit down, poured her a cup of tea himself, and inquired about the situation in the capital.
Xiang Weinan was aware of what was happening in the capital, but he still had some questions about certain details.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the opportunity to participate in such a major event in the capital.
Shu Yu briefly explained the basics, then asked about the black market, "I heard from Brother Da Niu that the black market seems to be moving?"
Xiang Weinan leaned back in his chair. "I knew it. You just got back to Jiangyuan County and came straight here without even taking a breath. So that's why."
Shu Yu felt that his words were very unfair. Didn't she give him a gift box? She even cleared up his doubts. Why did it seem like she always had an ulterior motive when she came? Couldn't they just catch up as friends?
Although... her main purpose was still the black market relocation.
After all, her estate was so close to the black market. What if something went wrong and affected her hundreds of acres of sunflowers that she had just planted? She didn't want anything to go wrong just when she was about to go all out and make big money.
Xiang Weinan didn't keep them in suspense. He took a sip of tea and said, "The black market is indeed planning to move."
"Really moved? Why?"
"It's unclear for now, but the black market is indeed secretly looking for someone to sell that hilltop and the house on it." Xiang Weinan tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "It seems to be because of that mirror. Ever since the Third Prince's Consort bought the mirror, didn't quite a few people flock to the black market in Jiangyuan County? Back then, the black market's opening hours were quite unstable."
Shu Yu coughed lightly, "..." What does it have to do with her mirror again? Looks like I'll have to keep my identity a secret.
Xiang Weinan glanced at her, feeling that her expression was strange. He didn't ask any further questions and continued, "When the Cui family had a murder case last time, Hu Li took the opportunity of investigating to walk around the area and did find some clues."
Shu Yu knew about this. If Xiao Ya hadn't happened to run to that mountain, Hu Li wouldn't have been able to find an excuse to get so close to his target.
However, when Hu Li returned, Shu Yu didn't ask any further questions.
"What clue?"
“The black market would occasionally go out to find and transport some rare items back to trade and auction when the market opened. But Hu Li discovered that since then, the black market had stopped transporting anything in, only showing signs of transporting things out. Later, the black market opened again, and Master Ding attended. I asked him about it after he came back. It is said that from that time on, there were not many things inside, and even the items auctioned were fewer than before.”
This feels like a clearance sale.
Shu Yu asked in confusion, "So, from that time onwards, the black market was already preparing to withdraw from Jiangyuan County?"
"Yes, it should be."
Shu Yu sighed, "Then who will take over this black market and the mountain stronghold? Who have been in contact with them?"
This is what Shuyu cares about most; neighbors are still very important.
Xiang Weinan really knew this; he was familiar with the people he had dealt with in the black market.
He gave Shu Yu some good news: "No one is buying it yet."
"Nobody's buying?"
"That's a hilltop after all. You've been to the houses up there. They're not exactly magnificent, but they're much better than ordinary houses, aren't they?"
