Chapter 98 Special Envoy Arrives
I was shocked and thought to myself that you are too casual in doing things. It’s such a huge underground black market, how can you just transfer it?!
I refused a few words, but Mi Zhu seemed to be determined to give me the management power. Guan Yunchang kept winking at me, meaning that I should not refuse anymore.
In this way, I inexplicably became the manager of the underground black market.
I thought about it and discussed with Mi Zhu: From now on, let’s not call it a black market anymore. It’s not nice to say it. You see, I am also a local administrative staff sent by the official. Please ask for instructions and then change this place to underground... underground free market?
"Just change it to whatever you want, as long as you don't have a place to stay. People here are wandering from all directions and have long been homeless."
"I understand, you will be the first...officially certified market practitioners here in the future!" I patted my chest and promised: "I will be responsible for protecting everyone's safety!"
That night, everyone drank a lot of wine. In the hazy, I seemed to hear Xiaobai talking to me, but my brain was vague. It seemed that there was a girl covering me with a quilt and waiting for me to go to bed to rest. I thought it was Xiaobai, but then I thought it must be Gan Mei...
The next day, Mi Zhu formally handed over the management power to me, but I felt that it seemed too sorry to make him a civilian under my command. Moreover, this person seemed to be a good at doing business, so he asked him to help me manage local affairs. He still handed over the local market and financial jurisdiction to him, but he did not refuse.
Business in the black market is also doing well. In addition to the occasional secret envoys in Chang'an to purchase "special items", there are also some visitors with strange clothes.
Not only do they purchase things from the black market, but sometimes they also take out some of their own "baby" and ask the black market to bid for it, or barter it.
When identifying these things, Mi Zhu has his own unique vision. Nothing that he likes is not a good product.
"Well, this is the Star Marrow Energy Extractor developed by Chang'an Research Institute. It can also be used for use. It is a top-grade seventh grade; this is Dong Zhuojun's military uniform, which has been wormed. It is a first-grade low-grade, and it is useless to keep it. It is a saber removed from the Yellow Turban Army soldiers. The blade is rigid, the blade is wear-resistant, the overall corrosion-resistant, and the sixth grade medium-grade..."
After listening to his words, I realized that in this black market, all "commodities" have levels, first to third levels are lower grades, fourth to six levels are medium grades, seven to nine levels are top grades, and above grades are top grades - but I have not seen the so-called top grades yet.
Zhang Yide, who was extremely curious, asked Mi Zhu: "Is there any top-notch quality in this world that meets your standards?"
Mi Zhu replied: "Yes, there are two in Ding Jianyang's army, one is Fang Tian Hua Ji and the other is Lu Fengxian's combat suit. Both of these can be counted as the top ten level."
"What about his mobile fortress?"
Mi Zhu smiled and said, "Don't you know? His mobile fortress is at most a giant tank. If the Fang Tian Hua Ji is removed, then there will be a turtle shell that cannot be fought! I'll barely set it to level 8!"
Guan Yunchang looked around and asked Mi Zhu: "We have a well-connected tunnel here, which can barely be considered an underground fortress, but if we encounter a regular army, it may be difficult to guard it, right?"
"The Yellow Turban Army has been defeated, so no one should have abused us ordinary people anymore, right?" Zhang Yide said.
"Not necessarily." Guan Yunchang shook his head, "Before the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, Chang'an was surrounded by many forces. These forces are hidden dangers."
Mi Zhu nodded: "Guan Yunchang's words are reasonable. For example, the 'Jie', 'Di', 'Qiang' in the distance were too far away and repeatedly invaded the border. When Chang'an was in chaos, he even broke off contact with Chang'an. There was no intention of sending troops to rescue him. There were rumors that Zhang Jiao had received their help. Otherwise, he alone would not have built the Yellow Turban Army so terrible in the short term!"
At this moment, someone came in and reported to us: "A team of special envoys from 'Jia' and 'Qiang' came outside. It is said that for a very important matter, I came to see the leader of the black market."
"The supervisor here is Liu Xuande now." Mi Zhu said: "Xuande, should you go out to see them?"
I shook my hand: "You'd better go. I haven't dealt with those people."
Guan Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Xuande, you are the leader here. It is not suitable not to meet them. Mi Zhu has the ability to negotiate with them. I think... it is better to set up a screen in the talks room, Mi Zhu sat in front of the screen and we sat in the back. We were also involved in the entire meeting process. How about it?"
Everyone thought this method was feasible, so they sent someone to arrange it. Not long after, the room and the screen were arranged. Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide and I went in first and hid behind the screen. Mi Zhu then welcomed the special envoy and came in with the special envoy.
As soon as he entered the house, one of the special envoys said hurriedly: "Boss Mi, there is something you need to do this time."
Mi Zhu asked: "What's wrong?"
Another special envoy said: "We have a strange patient here. He and his two brothers need star marrow to survive. Now the star marrow mine has stopped mining due to war. Except for Chang'an, you have the most star marrow here, so you can only help with this."
Mi Zhu nodded: "Since it's about saving people, there's nothing to say. I'll send someone to take out all the star marrow mines in the cave library later, so you can pick them."
"Thank you, Boss Mi!"
"However," Mi Zhu changed his tone, "I don't know what diseases these three friends have. They have to rely on the star marrow to survive?"
"Uh..." The two special envoys just now were hesitant, trying to distract the topic. But Mi Zhu is from a businessman and is very smart and has not been deceived by them. No matter what topic they talk about, he will ask "What disease did those three people get?" The atmosphere seemed extremely awkward for a moment.
Without the special envoys, Mi Zhu did not send anyone to seize the star marrow, and the situation was just stalemate.
Finally, a person in the special envoy said in a hoarse and low voice: "I think it's better not to hide it. Boss Mi, I am the patient who needs help."
This person's voice sounded familiar, and he seemed to have heard it somewhere.
Mi Zhu said: "Okay, I have also learned medical skills. Can you take off your turban and let me see your expression?"
It turned out that this man came in wearing a headscarf. This is strange. The weather has been stuffy recently, so why do you still have to wear a headscarf?
Listening to the sound, the man seemed to have untied the turban. Then, Mi Zhu said in surprise, "Huh" and said, "Are you... the two faces on both sides of your head your two brothers?"
The man replied, "Yes."
Is this person a weird guy with three faces?!
My curiosity also aroused, and I wanted to go outside the screen to take a look.
Guan Yunchang grabbed me and leaned into my ear and said, "I can hear this person's voice. This is Zhang Jiao!"
