Chapter 422, Hongcheng Dafang
Nanchang is a water city, and this is right. Compared to a world-famous water city like Venice, Nanchang still has more land. [Almost all books I want to read are, which are much more stable than ordinary stations, and updates are faster. There are no advertisements in the full text. However, the entire Nanchang is wrapped in several inland lakes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a water city.
At Nanchang West Station, Daqi and I walked off the train. Daqi sighed and said, "In Nanchang, our demon vein does not have a branch, but Tongtian will have a branch. Do you want to contact Tongtian and help me?"
After thinking about it, I shook my head and said, "No need, I don't want to owe Lin Dongxuan's affection. Okay, find a place to live first, and then start inquiring about the news."
After walking out of the train station, I took two taxis and asked the driver to take us to a larger hotel in the center of Nanchang.
After checking in, I asked someone to carry my luggage upstairs, and then I pulled Daqi to walk out of the hotel by myself.
"I remember there is a larger market in Nanchang, what is it called?"
I asked.
"Oh. It's called Hongcheng Dafang. Although I haven't been to it, I heard from a few brothers that this place is said to be the largest market in Nanchang. Do you want to go there?" Juzhuang is carrying it.[
Daqi asked.
I nodded, walked to the roadside to wait for a taxi, and said, "If an organization or sect wants to control the supernatural circle of a city, what is the first thing to control?"
Daqi thought about it and said, "Information."
I nodded and said, "In addition to cities like Shanghai that do not have a long history, China's ancient cities and towns have one characteristic, which is the concentration of markets and intelligence networks. Look at the historical cities we have been to, Xuchang, Tianjin, Changchun and Chongqing. These places are all like this. Markets are the places with the most supernatural people, so they are also places where intelligence dealers especially like to concentrate. So, if you want to control intelligence, you have to control a local market. Do you know the specific location of Hongcheng Dafang?"
Daqi shook his head, but then said, "I can ask my friend for inquiries, just take a taxi first."
An hour and a half later, we stopped in front of a small street in Donghu District, Nanchang. On the side of the road was a place that looked like a billiards hall, but there were no guests. Several men in black jackets were sitting at the door. Some were playing with their mobile phones, some were listening to music, and some were reading newspapers.
After paying for a taxi, we walked out of the car and walked to the billiards hall to take a look. Several men in black jackets immediately noticed Daqi and me. One of the people who read the newspaper said, "Are you passing by? Or are you walking around?"
Daqi spoke loudly and said, "How many meters can I take a walk?"
The man put away the newspaper and stretched out three fingers. Da Qi frowned and said, "Why is it so expensive? The price here is much more expensive than other places!"
The man snorted, looked at Daqi with contempt, and then said, "It's this price. If you want to stroll around, you will pay. If you can't afford it, you will go home. (Novel"
After saying that, he opened the newspaper again. I frowned, took out an envelope from my arms and threw it over. The man took it and counted it and said, "No, the money is right. The second child, take them in."
The man who was playing games reluctantly stood up, looked at us, waved and took us in.
On the surface, these supernatural markets seem to be familiar to ordinary people, such as factories and warehouses, but this is the first time I have seen them using billiards halls as cover.
The man in front of him took us in with his mobile phone while playing with his phone. He walked through the billiard hall and walked to the warehouse behind. After entering the warehouse, he pointed to a wooden door behind and said, "You will be there when you walk down here. Then the brothers below will ask you to show the token or logo of the sect. If you don't bring it, you will be an individual customer. Okay, I'll leave."
After he left, Daqi opened the wooden door. Sure enough, behind the door was a downward spiral stone step, with incandescent lamps hanging on the wall, but the entire spiral stone step still looked a little dark. As we walked along the way, we felt that we had fallen by about two or three floors, and gradually saw the end of the stairs.
There was a closed iron door, and two big men in black jackets were also standing at the door.
"Show the identity token."
The man in front of him whispered.
“Individual guest.”
I said directly that at this time, you cannot reveal your identity.
"Oh, our Hongcheng Dafang opens at 9 o'clock in the morning, and the city will be closed after midnight. At that time, there will be a bell reminder. There are 305 stalls in total, divided into three areas on the left, the magic weapon area on the left, the spiritual talisman area in the middle, and the right are various kinds of miscellaneous and genius treasures. You can swipe cards or pay cash. You refuse to exchange goods for goods. Do you understand?"
The man said loudly that the bodyguards in these markets have always been not very good when dealing with individual customers. Today is pretty good. Can you introduce me to the layout of the entire Hongcheng Dafang.
"I want to ask, who is the territory covered by this Hongcheng Dafang?"
I asked on purpose.
"You don't know this?"
The man in front of him asked in a strange tone.
Da Qi was holding his anger. At this time, he heard the other party's contemptuous tone and was about to attack, but I stopped him. I asked with a smile: "Brother, this is my first time to come to Hongcheng Dafang and Nanchang. If I don't know which Dragon King I worship here, if I say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, wouldn't it cause a big disaster?"
The man sneered and said, "Nanchang used to be surnamed Lu, but now he is surnamed Guo. Do you understand?"
I nodded immediately. The first half of this sentence should be about a large supernatural family that was once famous in Nanchang. It seemed to have the surname Lu, but in recent years it has gradually disappeared from people's eyes. However, his second half of the sentence affirmed my thoughts and verified Lao Qin's words. The new force in the fifth group of the national font really regarded this place as its base camp.
After speaking, the iron gate was opened by a man, and the lively voices gradually came out. There were many men and women standing at the door who seemed to be attracting customers. These people were individual customers, but they had relationships with merchants in the market, which was equivalent to shopping guides. If individual customers came in, they would immediately gather around and take individual customers to shop, specifically introduce the merchants they were familiar with, and then help the merchants earn money from individual customers, and then divide the money from the merchants.
"Two gentlemen, I am the gold medal shopping guide here. I can get the best and cheapest prices for the merchants here. You don't have to spend money on asking me." "Sir, you see, I have been standing for several hours. I'm tired of legs. If you invite me, you can not only buy things with you, but also relax with you at night..."
These shopping guides are really good at using beauty to lure them, while those who are good at talking constantly bombard your ears with words.
I waved my hand and squeezed out of the crowd with Daqi. Then I saw the whole picture of the entire Hongcheng Dafang. Its area was not as big as the "tiger belly" in Shanghai. However, the stalls were tighter. The 305 stalls should be more than those in many cities known as large markets, and there were also many people. When we came in, we saw that many stalls were shopping for goods. We could also see some groups with a large number of people, which should be sects or supernatural families.
Of course, Daqi and I came here not to buy things, but to investigate. The men wearing black jackets were definitely not from the fifth group of the national font, and what I was looking for was not just ordinary members of the fifth group of the national font, but from what Lao Qin said about the new forces.
As the largest market in Nanchang base camp, if you want to control it, there will definitely be experts from the fifth group of national numbers to be in charge. This expert must be the best among the new forces, or even the top leaders. So if I have the opportunity to talk to this person, it will be much more effective than me searching for information everywhere.
After wandering around for a few times, I looked around casually, wondering whether to make some big noises and pulling the snake out of the hole, but I heard the sound of quarrels coming from behind.
When I looked back, I saw a lot of people surrounding me, and I could vaguely hear some confrontation sounds.
"We do not allow goods to be exchanged for goods here. We pay for it, we pay for it!"
"Do you change it or not? I'm going to settle this thing! hf();
