The Villain, The Quack, Poisons The Two Protagonists At The Beginning

Su Ang is actually a regular customer of the black market.

Because my family runs a pharmacy, I occasionally need some strange medicinal materials. If I can’t get them from outside, I have to go to the black market to find them;

Even for conventional medicinal materials, the prices on the black market are cheaper, but you just need to spend more time to distinguish the good from the bad.

Arriving at the entrance, Su Ang showed a copper pass and brought Wei Lang and others in.

"You can get this kind of pass by spending more than one thousand taels. New customers can only be brought in by old customers." Su Ang walked in front and took the initiative to introduce relevant information about the black market.

The black market is not the underground city as imagined, and the scale is not that grand.

It is said that it was originally an underground water vein in the capital. Later, the water source dried up, forming a huge cave, which was occupied by some nearby refugees.

Then, various gang forces infiltrated this place and conducted some shady transactions...

As the scale of the business expanded, the old underground space was no longer enough, so they dug a large number of basements and intricate tunnels.

Over the years, today's black market was finally formed.

Su Ang's pass cannot enter the deepest caves, so they can only wander around in those artificially constructed basements.

"Let's just take a look here. The lower floors are the strongholds of some gangs. It's not safe to go there." Walking in the passage, Su Ang lowered his voice, "The black market has its own rules and is not subject to the king's laws." Control...let’s all keep a low profile and try not to cause trouble.”

"Oh, not under the control of the king's law?" But Gu Jingfei was confident and didn't take these underground gangs seriously at all. "As long as the emperor is unhappy, he will level this place with just one sentence."

Su Ang didn't argue with Gu Jingfei, he just said: "There are masters hidden in this black market, and even people from the government dare not come in to cause trouble."

Wei Lang did not participate in the discussion.

He is well aware of the dark corruption of Yanguo's bureaucracy. Officials at all levels only know how to make money and do nothing at work;

As long as this black market does not touch the interests of the rulers, no one will care even if a lot of civilians die every day.

Under the leadership of Su Ang, everyone walked through the tunnels and visited one basement after another.

Each basement has dozens of stalls, similar to Blue Star’s wholesale market;

Moreover, different rooms sell different things, divided into categories, which is quite professional.

The largest number is actually antiques. Of course, 99% of them are fakes and are purely deceptive.

The so-called "rare birds and animals" were not seen, only some crudely assembled animal specimens were found.

There is a "mermaid", which is actually a skinned baboon and a big fish tail sewn together...

There is also the "white-haired snow monster", which seems to peel off the skin of a white yak and cover it on a bear...

The "nine-tailed fox" is even more fake. Any fool knows that the other eight tails are inserted...

But having said that, what they sell is not too expensive. If a fool is really cheated, the loss will not be too big.

But Gu Lingxi was very interested in these things and stared at them for a long time.

Wei Lang had already noticed that this little girl was indeed not very smart... It would not be difficult to deceive her.

I have to admit that Prime Minister Tang was very good at selecting people, and the strategies he formulated were always reliable.

"Look, what is that?" Gu Lingxi suddenly pointed at an iron cage and asked.

I saw a living creature locked in an iron cage. It looked human but not human. It had legs but no hands. It was covered with feathers. It was indeed quite strange.

"Ah this..." Gu Jingfei actually didn't recognize him, "This is... Birdman, right?"

"It's a chicken man." Su Ang corrected.

"Chicken man? What a living monster!" Gu Lingxi's eyes radiated with "wisdom" and she began to beat her brother again, "Brother, buy me one! I want to raise it!"

"No, no, no!" This time Gu Jingfei did not spoil his sister, "This thing is too disgusting! You can't keep it!"

"It's true that it can't be raised." Su Ang quietly told the truth, "It's not a monster, it's a human..."

It turns out that this chicken man is just an ordinary human being.

There are some crazy gangsters who will seize normal people and use knives and axes to cut them into deformed and disabled people, and use them for begging or exhibitions to defraud money. This is the so-called "picking and cutting".

The same goes for chicken people.

First beat a normal person until they are covered with bruises, and then insert chicken feathers into the wounds;

After the wound heals, chicken feathers will grow on the body;

Repeat this operation until the whole body is finally covered with thick chicken feathers;

At the same time, you have to cut off your hands and cut off your tongue, so as to achieve the best effect and become a real chicken man...

Gu Lingxi was frightened when she heard the truth, staring and unable to say a word.

Obviously, she doesn't want to keep it anymore.

Wei Lang frowned and asked, "Which gang did these things?"

Su Ang responded in a low voice: "I heard it's a gang called [Qiongqi], and their boss is the boss behind the black market..."

After a pause, he added: "But they are not arresting people randomly. It seems that those who were turned into chickens are traitors in the gangs, and there are also informants arranged by the government... So don't provoke them..."

"To deal with traitors like this? That's cruel enough..." Gu Jingfei's expression was no longer relaxed, "It seems that the Qiongqi Gang is quite powerful..."

Su Ang nodded: "I heard that many restaurants and brothels in Shengxianfang are their properties... Of course, I just heard that there is no real evidence."

"Let's go back..." At this time, Gu Lingxi no longer wanted to stay here, "I don't want to watch anymore..."

"Hey, wait." But Gu Jingfei found something he was interested in.

Right in front, there is an auction for female slaves!

She is still a foreign woman with dark skin and a strange face!

"Let's go! Go over and take a look!" He left his sister and walked over quickly.

"Hey, I want to buy one too, but my sister won't let me..." Su Ang muttered and followed.

"You, you guys..." Gu Lingxi had no choice but to turn her head and look at Wei Lang.

"Uh..." Wei Lang hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Let's go to the next room. I want to see the pills over there."

"Okay!" Gu Lingxi happily agreed.

Sure enough, Wei Lang is the man worth trusting! Brother and that Mr. Su are both rubbish! LSP!

Wei Lang really has no time to raise a female slave, his first priority is still to save his life.

When he came to the pill sales area next door, he immediately started choosing carefully.

The elixirs on the black market are indeed cheap, but the quality is generally inconsistent and mixed with a lot of waste products. It is impossible not to check carefully.

Of course, even inferior waste products are safer and more reliable than those made by oneself...

Thinking of this, Wei Lang felt like crying...

And Gu Lingxi kept stealing glances at Wei Lang. Seeing how focused and professional he was, she was even more convinced that he was a man of excellent quality and the perfect choice as a husband...

Wei Lang never expected that Gu Lingxi had secretly made up her mind: "As long as he can cure my disease... I will marry him and grow old together with him..."

While Wei Lang was selecting the elixir, he suddenly heard Ruan Ning's voice not far away:

"Do you have any spiritual Gu here?"
