HCB Chapter 148 Blind Man
Chapter 148 Blind Man
There is a black market in every prefecture in Dali. Some prefectures and counties are so large that there are even two black markets existing at the same time.
Although Qingchuan County is geographically remote, it is precisely because of this remoteness that an official road connects it to two other counties, creating the conditions for it to have two black markets.
One is in the south and the other is in the north, both are in the belly of the mountain.
Follow the path up the mountain, through the man-made mountain wall, and over a cliff, and you will reach the entrance to the black market.
The entrance to the black market is guarded. Anyone who enters has to pay ten taels of silver and then receive a ghost mask.
Jiang Hao knew the rules. After paying the entrance fee, he put on the ghost mask and walked in with a swagger.
Inside and outside the cave are two different worlds.
After walking about a hundred steps into the cave, my view suddenly became wider. I found that the mountain had been hollowed out, and its diameter was probably hundreds of meters.
Torches were inserted into the stone walls of the cave for lighting. In the middle was a small path. On both sides of the path, people in different costumes and wearing different ghost masks set up various stalls, selling all kinds of things. On both sides of the path, there were houses, streams, and boats.
The entire cave was dim and unclear, making the things inside appear even older and more dilapidated.
Jiang Hao tapped himself with the fan from time to time and walked slowly down the stairs. Immediately, countless gazes gathered on him.
She didn't care and looked left and right at the stalls, but didn't see anything she liked.
After walking around for a while, she stopped in front of a tattered sign.
"Bai Xiaosheng?"
The stall owner was a blind man. When he heard Jiang Hao muttering, he tilted his ear slightly and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you want to know, sir?"
"Anything is okay?"
"of course."
The blind man nodded and said, "As long as you give me enough money, you can buy any information you want to know from me."
In other words, tell us the news you want to know first, and then set the price.
"Dumb, killer."
The blind man was stunned when he heard this.
"What, you don't know?"
The blind man obviously didn't think of asking for the news.
"Fifty taels of silver."
The blind man then pointed to the tray in front of him.
After thinking about it, Jiang Hao took out fifty taels of silver from the space and put it in.
She had to first know where the organization's headquarters was before she could find the headquarters and ask who hired the killer to kill her.
If it was the Xie family...
Let’s settle old and new accounts together!
The blind man took the silver and started talking to Jiang Hao about the mute's killer organization.
"This is a secret. If you reveal it, you will be beheaded."
The blind man deliberately lowered his voice a lot: "Rumor has it that after Emperor Gaozu became emperor, he formed an organization that was specifically responsible for assassinating ministers who gossiped about him behind his back and criticized him for liking other people's women. From time to time, ministers had their tongues pulled out for no apparent reason, and died miserably. Once, when the assassins returned from a mission, a talkative assassin actually mentioned the mission target, and Emperor Gaozu happened to hear it. Emperor Gaozu was very angry, so he ordered the assassin's tongue to be pulled out and he was executed."
"Then, Gaozu looked for a mute to train?"
Jiang Hao interrupted.
The blind man shook his head and said, "They are not looking for a mute, but all the chosen people have been poisoned and made mute."
Jiang Hao heard this and started to wonder, "So, is this mute killer coming to the palace?"
The blind man shook his head again: "After Emperor Gaozu passed away, this organization was abolished by the new emperor. These people were either killed or escaped by the new emperor. Later, such an organization gradually emerged among the people, specializing in killing people for money..."
"Gone?"
"Gone."
"You cheated me out of fifty taels to buy a piece of news that everyone knows. Blind man, do you want to stop doing business?"
A sudden voice was heard, and Jiang Hao and the blind man looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.
