A dark villain came to Jinting Bulaoxiang

Shui Qinglian couldn't help but become anxious. After all, he had never been in the martial arts world and knew nothing about its various ways.

At this time, Sikong Yan explained: "The so-called black market actually has two meanings. One of them refers to the market in the dark night."

Xiao Sizhe looked up and saw that the sun was about to set. He patted his stomach and said, "Then let's find a place to fill our stomachs first! We can also get some information while we're at it."

"That's the only way!" The four of them drove their horses slowly forward, and gradually, pedestrians began to appear on the streets and town ahead.

There was a small town near Sishi in the suburbs. It was usually quiet and peaceful, but today it was very lively because the black market was about to open. The restaurants and teahouses in the town were crowded, most of whom were people who came from other places and were looking forward to visiting the black market.

At this time, four figures appeared at the door of a restaurant. These four people were Shui Qinglian, Xiao Sanlang, Sikong Yan and Xiao Sizhe. They each carried a heavy bag and walked into the restaurant with big strides. The bag was heavy and made a rustling sound as they walked, which was particularly eye-catching in this noisy restaurant. They walked to an empty table as if no one was around and piled the bag on the table without hesitation.

This sudden movement instantly startled the diners around. People sitting next to them turned around and looked at them. Everyone's eyes revealed surprise and curiosity. After all, in this place where all kinds of people mixed together, such a blatant move was rare.

A closer look at the shape and heaviness of their bundles made it easy to guess that they were filled with silver. These people who had been traveling for years were extremely sensitive to money, and they knew what was inside just by the subtle sound and the appearance of the bundles.

Xiao Sizhe was totally unaware of the strange looks from the crowd, and still said nonchalantly: "Ahhh, you all just eat your own food, why are you looking at us? Waiter, bring all your delicious dishes here to me!" His voice was clear and loud, echoing in the restaurant.

"Okay!" A waiter named Xiao Ai ran up excitedly, with a smile on his face, and greeted them warmly: "Sir, please have some tea, the dishes will be served to you soon!" As he said that, he quickly poured tea for the four people, then turned around and hurried to the kitchen.

The customers in the restaurant saw that among the four people, one was the short Xiao Sizha, and the other three were men dressed in black and wearing veils on their heads. They all looked like young men who had never experienced the world.

Everyone was secretly thinking that these guys were probably rookies who didn't even know that money should not be shown to the public. Some customers frowned slightly and shook their heads, as if they were worried about their reckless behavior; some customers showed a gloating expression, thinking that these silly guys would definitely get into trouble; and some customers had greedy eyes, secretly looking at their bags, thinking about how to profit from it.

At this moment, the door of the restaurant was gently pushed open, and a girl of fifteen or sixteen walked in. She had a pretty face, but looked a little anxious, and was holding a bag of grain in her hand, which looked quite heavy.

"Boss, the grain is here!" The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, breaking the brief silence in the restaurant.

The shopkeeper was a plump, shrewd middle-aged man. He came out from behind the counter and said with a smile, "Fifth Miss, why are you here so early?"

The fifth girl frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and said: "Well, it's like this, my mother is seriously ill, and I need to take her to see a doctor. I need money urgently! So I sent it to you in advance, I hope the shopkeeper will not be offended!"

The shopkeeper's smile froze after hearing this, and then he narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, that's it! Fifth Miss, the market for millet is not very good recently, and the price has dropped. So, do you think you should sell this millet today or not?"

The Fifth Girl's face turned pale when she heard this. She obviously hadn't expected this to happen. She said anxiously, "No way! There's famine everywhere now, and the price of grain has obviously increased several times!" Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of helplessness and despair.

Some customers in the restaurant also whispered: "That's right, this shopkeeper is too unkind. The girl is in urgent need of money, but he is trying to lower the price at this time." An old man with a kind face sighed slightly, shook his head and said: "Alas, there are too many unscrupulous businessmen these days. This girl is also pitiful. She suffered such a thing in order to see a doctor for her mother."

A young man nearby said indignantly: "This shopkeeper is really going too far. If it were me, I would definitely not let him succeed." Although some other customers did not speak, their eyes revealed sympathy for the fifth girl and dissatisfaction with the shopkeeper.

Xiao Sizhe and Sikong Yan were furious when they heard this. They looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes the dissatisfaction with the shopkeeper's behavior.

Xiao Sizhe thought that the shopkeeper was clearly a profiteer, taking advantage of the girl's urgent need for money and trying to add insult to injury. In order to save her mother, the girl would definitely be forced to sell the millet at a low price.

As expected, the girl gritted her teeth, her eyes slightly red, and was about to nod to agree to the shopkeeper's terms. At this moment, Xiao Sizhe suddenly shouted, "General Xiao, go and buy the girl's millet at a high price."

Xiao Sanlang had long been unable to bear the shopkeeper's behavior. When he heard what Xiao Sizhe said, he said nothing and rushed to the shopkeeper like the wind. He looked at the shopkeeper with a cold gaze and said, "I'll buy this grain!"

The shopkeeper was startled by Xiao Sanlang's sudden action. He was stunned for a moment, then a trace of displeasure appeared on his face. He said, "Sir, everything has a first come first served order! Miss Five and I are discussing business!"

Xiao Sanlang snorted coldly and said, "You call this negotiating a business deal? You are clearly taking advantage of someone's misfortune! I will pay double the price for this grain."

The shopkeeper's face became even uglier. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to refute. After all, Xiao Sanlang's price was really high. If he insisted, it might cause public outrage.

The fifth girl looked at the scene in front of her, her eyes full of gratitude. She said gratefully: "Thank you for your help, sir. I am very grateful!"

The noise in the restaurant was one after another, the diners' conversations and the clinking of cups and plates intertwined together, creating a noisy atmosphere.

Xiao Sizhe sat at a slightly old wooden table, which had a deep luster from years of use. There were several benches around it that were also quite old.

At this time, Xiao Sizhe was excitedly shouting to Xiao Sanlang who was not far away: "Brother Sanlang, bring that sister over here quickly. I have something to ask her."

His voice was clear and loud, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the noise in the restaurant and attracting the attention of many diners around him.
