Chapter 5 Black Street
The rain is still falling.
Ning Xiu held an old paper umbrella and stepped on the muddy path and turned into a dark alley.
Because this alley remains dark all year round, it is also called a black street.
There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the alley. Even on rainy days, there are also many people coming in and out, but these people are as shameless as this alley.
It is difficult for you to find a legal business here. Under the imperial city, such a place can exist for a long time, making it difficult not to associate it in certain aspects.
Illegal transactions can often bring higher profits. Higher profits can allow more people who are desperate to bring more things continuously. No one is willing to support them or believe them.
The information provided was that Wang Sansheng, Zhao San, Xiao Wu and others called him senior brother. He was the best among Sha Zilong's "apprentices". He has been hiding around the black street for many years and has made some achievements. On the day the Tianqiao accident, he happened to be in the city.
Afterwards, he came here to thank Ning Xiu for this incident.
According to him, the Taotie pattern jade nine tripods appeared in the Silver Hook Gambling House on the Black Street. A bad gambling ghost was so angry that he took out a ten-centimeter small tripod, saying that it was an antique and wanted to exchange for money. He beat the people in the gambling house and blasted them out.
On this street, the least valuable thing is the "antique". The cauldron is yellow all over, and it looks like it is not valuable at first glance. Moreover, the bad gambling man is famous for his reputation, so no one will believe him. Wang Sansheng happened to hear this and asked the dealer involved. The pattern on the cauldron was exactly the same as that described by Ning Xiu.
The only thing Ning Xiu has to be careful about now is where the bad gambling man is.
Ning Xiu looked at the signboard and entered a narrow grocery store. The shopkeeper looked up at Ning Xiu and then withdrew his gaze.
Ning Xiu walked to the counter, reached out and knocked, put down a small piece of broken silver, and then made a very strange gesture to the mate.
The guy was originally looking like he ignored him. Looking at Ning Xiu, he didn't look like a regular visitor on the street, but after seeing this gesture, his attitude immediately changed.
"It turns out that he is Brother Sheng'er's friend. I don't know what to do?" The shop clerk asked without picking up the silver.
"I heard that a few days ago, a bad gambling man came to the Silver Hook Gambling House on the Black Street and lost money. He wanted to exchange the antiques in his hand for money. In the end, the people in the gambling house beat him. It was a small tripod." Ning Xiu spoke and explained the reason.
"I want you to help find this person."
"...It seems like this is happening." The shop guy hesitated and finally nodded. "You wait."
As he said that, he turned around and walked back to the back of the house.
Ning Xiu looked at the narrow door of the shopkeeper after entering the store, retracted his gaze, and looked at the surrounding environment boredly.
Anyone can see it just an ordinary grocery store, collecting some old gadgets and cheating those ignorant country bumpkins.
There are many such shops on the streets, but you will never know what these people do.
Perhaps it is the fugitive that the government is pursuing, or it may be the sales den of pickpocket groups, or even the broker who kills people for others...
No one who can survive on this street is an ordinary person.
Of course, in places like this, people who rely on intelligence are naturally indispensable, and the person Ning Xiu found is one of them.
As long as the price is in place, you can get almost any news you want.
Thousands of coachmen in the four nine cities are their eyeliners.
After about a cup of tea, the shop clerk came out of the narrow door again and became more respectful to Ning Xiu.
"It turned out that Brother Ning, who showed great power on the Tianqiao two days ago, was so stupid."
Ning Xiu was not surprised to be recognized.
Those who are in the intelligence industry will be disappointed if they don’t have any skills.
"The person you are looking for has been found."
The other party directly told the result.
"This person is not difficult to find. The famous bad gambling in Guangqumen is called Li Saner. Even if you don't come to me, you can find out. I don't know how to make a fortune these days. Now I should still be in the Yinge Gambling House. I won't accept you for this money, just treat it as a favor that won the best brother..."
Before he finished speaking, Ning Xiuren had already left.
......
Unlike the dark and cramped streets, the gambling house is very bright.
A shiny silver hook was followed by a hanging lantern, just like a fishing hook used by a fisherman.
The wishes take the bait.
Unlike Ning Xiu's imagination, the gambling table full of sweat, smell of smell of wine and cursing, the table here is bright and clean and magnificent.
No matter how luxurious it is, the casino is a casino.
Everyone is betting, everyone focuses all their attention on their bets, and the old and young men and women are all red with their eyes, and the air is filled with a smell of ambition.
No one noticed Ning Xiu's arrival.
There are too many gamblers crowded in the entire hall.
Although Li San's physical characteristics were given in the intelligence, he had never seen them with his own eyes. It was not easy to find him among so many gamblers.
Ning Xiu stood at the gate, took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Li Saner!"
As soon as the voice was heard, a man in the corner of the hall immediately picked up the chips on the table and ran out.
Ning Xiu had been waiting for a long time, and he would lift his legs and kick him away in the future.
boom!
The man crashed into the wall in the distance and fell to the ground without moving.
The thugs in the casino heard the movement and rushed out. Seeing that the scene was about seeking revenge, Li Saner was not a distinguished guest, and Ning Xiu was very responsible and did not destroy the casino facilities, so these thugs did not take action directly.
Ning Xiu's next words also verified their ideas.
"Private hatred has nothing to do with people."
Ning Xiu said as he walked towards Li San, reached out to find his hand and frowned, and couldn't help but frown.
As if there was a breath, he had already retracted his strength just now, but he never thought that the other party's body would be so useless.
At this moment, Li San, who was supposed to faint, suddenly took out a bag of medicine from his arms and sprinkled towards Ning Xiu. Then, he stood up and turned around and broke through the window behind him, flew away.
"Damn it!"
Ning Xiu put down the long sleeves that covered his face, looked at the figure in the rain, and followed him to chase him.
There are not many other things in Sijiu City, and the most alleys at the alleys.
Alleys intersected, like a spider web that continued to extend outward.
Ning Xiu was an outsider after all, and he was not as familiar with these alleys as Li San.
Several times, I almost lost my pursuit.
Seeing that the other party was about to run into another alley again, Ning Xiu picked up a stone on the ground and threw it forward.
The stone shattered the raindrops, crossed a perfect track in the air, and finally hit Li San's right calf.
Li San staggered and lost gravity and immediately fell into the mud puddle in front of him.
