Chapter 16： black market

An hour later.

Lin Yu brought Wan'er and two other young men who were responsible for getting things to the black market in Jianyang City.

Most of the transactions in the black market are things that cannot be seen. Therefore, there are strict restrictions on the personnel involved in the transaction, and someone must recommend and guarantee it.

The government naturally knows the existence of this gray area, but because there are too many wealthy and nobles involved, it has always kept one eye open.

Anyway, as long as people don't mention the black market on the surface, it will be regarded as non-existent.

Lin Yu strolled around the street for a while, then led people into a bookstore called Dingming Bookstore.

said it was a black market. In fact, from the outside, it is no different from an ordinary street and street market. People who don’t know think this is an ordinary street, and the shops are just ordinary shops.

"Does the son need anything?"

The little boy in the store greeted him immediately.

Lin Yu calmly took out a nameplate from his mother and gave it to the young man. The young man immediately nodded his head and made a please gesture, saying: "Please, please."

"Ok."

Lin Yu responded, nodded towards Wan'er, and walked into the bookstore alone.

Here is another person in charge of receiving him.

"What books does the son want? Anecdotes, unhistorical, strange and strange, or martial arts secrets?"

An old man in a black cloth gown walked in front of Lin Yu, without much nonsense, and asked straightforwardly.

He has been in this business for many years and knows what everyone who can come here wants.

is nothing more than the books that were banned by the court.

It is strange to say that although the Dawu Dynasty had a word for martial arts, it controlled the spread of martial arts books very strictly. Only the martial arts sects registered with the court were eligible to spread it.

It is illegal for other people to spread martial arts books privately.

Of course, this is not to say that martial arts are forbidden. Small-scale transmissions like father-to-child and master-to-discipline are all fine. It is to prevent large-scale printing and sales.

Lin Yu guessed that the imperial court wanted to restrict the pursuit of warriors to the various martial arts for easy management, so as not to be filled with daring lone rangers or even gangsters.

Otherwise, the government would not acquiesce in the sect to chase and kill the private school martial arts people.

Obviously, the court didn't want the superior martial arts to spread everywhere.

"I want martial arts books."

Lin Yu took the old man's words.

"Okay, please, my son."

The old man nodded and took Lin Yu to a row of cabinets heavily protected.

opened one of the cabinet doors, and the old man introduced: "There are all the books here, which one does the son want?"

"Let me see."

Lin Yu said as he took out one of the books and turned it over.

Since using the martial arts modifier to upgrade the Liuying knife technique to the second level, his vision experience has been correspondingly improved.

Now he is like a man who has practiced martial arts for many years, he can see through most martial arts books at a glance.

After only a few glances, he realized that the book in his hand was the same as the seven books bought by his mother. It was a scrap.

shook his head and put it down, then picked up another one and turned it over.

It's a pity that after reading ten books one after another, all the books are flawed and missed.

It seems that because of the strict control of the imperial court, even these things have become rare goods and can be sold at a high price.

If you get the ones sold on the surface, anyone who knows how to do it can pick you up.

"The shopkeeper, let me tell you. Actually, I have been practicing martial arts for many years and have enough knowledge about martial arts. You should not fool me with these remnants."

Lin Yu put down the books in his hand and showed off to the old man.

"The son is a martial artist? I really didn't see it."

The old man looked at Lin Yu in surprise.

No matter how you look at it, Lin Yu doesn't have any characteristics of a warrior. Not to mention the delicate skin and tender flesh on his face, even his temperament is like a scholar.

Who would dare to believe it if you have been practicing martial arts for many years?

And I really have to practice martial arts for many years, and I am dressed as a rich man, he must be a disciple of a certain big sect. Is it necessary to come to the **** pit to search for gold?

Lin Yu saw the old man’s disbelief expression, and he pursed his mouth reluctantly, took out a silver coin and said: "I have silver, as long as you can get real martial arts books, the best martial arts books are superior."

After finishing speaking, he directly stuffed the silver into the old man's hand.

The old man greedily touched the silver in his hand and said with a smile: "The son is really generous, since that's the case, let the old man tell the truth."

"You don't want to hide the truth from the son, everyone will not sell the really valuable martial arts books like this. They must be auctioned for a good price."

Lin Yu nodded slightly after listening, "Sure enough."

The old man collected the money in his hand, stroked his beard and smiled: "If you have no merit, the old man will tell you a valuable news. At tomorrow's black market auction, there will be real superior martial arts. It is said that It's a third product, you can go and see it then."

"Is it the third product? Then I have to make it!"

Lin Yu made up his mind to take it no matter how much it costs.

Anyway, my father has already said that if he wants money, he can go to the bank to withdraw it himself, so naturally he has to let go of his hands and feet.

When my father sees his achievements in martial arts, he will definitely feel that the money is worth it.

The old man smiled and reminded: "Of course I don’t doubt the old man’s financial resources, but the old man reminds you that UU Reading is a martial arts school that has become popular. I don’t know which one it is. If you really want to practice, you have to relax a little bit if you really want to practice."

"I know this naturally."

Lin Yu replied.

Others are not afraid of this. When the time comes to integrate that martial arts into the Liuying sword technique, no one will know what martial arts this is.

It's impossible to come over and ask for trouble just because it looks a bit like.

...

Since no suitable martial arts books were found, Lin Yu took Wan'er and two servants to leave and went straight to the blacksmith shop on the other street.

In contrast, the imperial court's control of weapons is not as strict as in martial arts books.

Firstly, because the materials used to make good weapons are expensive, secondly, if you don't have martial arts and don't know how to use them, no matter how good a weapon is, it's about the same as a fire stick.

So as long as they can prove their innocence, anyone can freely buy the weapons they want.

clang clang clang—

As soon as Lin Yu walked into the forge, he heard the sound of iron striking from the backyard of the shop.

"My son, what do you need?"

The little servant of the blacksmith's shop took the initiative to greet him and asked with a smile.

This dress is a great customer, he must be buying a beautifully crafted saber for decoration, and he can make a fortune.

"Take a look at the best knife in your shop."

Lin Yu glanced at the shop, and said to Xiao Si.

"Okay!" Xiao Si happily agreed, but then he was puzzled: "My son, are you sure you want a sword, not a sword?"

"Yes, it's a knife, hurry up."

"Good Le!"

Xiaosi readily responded.

Soon, three knives with jeweled gold on their scabbards appeared in front of Lin Yu.
