Three poles in the sun.

Xu Caikun pushed open the door of his house with a pair of big dark circles under his eyes.

Recently, because of the Doujin gambling house incident, he hasn't been able to sleep well, and neither has his father.

He spent a lot of money and used a lot of connections to find out the cause of the feud between him and the Doujin Casino, hoping to learn something from it so that he could remedy the situation in time.

Unfortunately, in the end, nothing was gained.

It seemed that the Doujin gambling house was determined to target his family.

As soon as he went out, Xu Caikun saw a familiar figure waving at him in front of the Hu Bing stall at the entrance of his alley.

"Brother Yang Qing! Are you having breakfast here?" Xu Caikun walked forward quickly.

"It's already so late, it can't be considered breakfast.

But the Hu Bing in front of your house, served with mutton soup, is really delicious!

Boss, give my buddy a bowl of mutton soup and two Hu pancakes. "

"Come on~!"

With a shout, the boss came quickly over with mutton soup.

Although Hengzhou Prefecture is located in the south, there are still many Hu people who moved south here, so naturally there are Hu pancake stalls.

When he was hungry, Yang Qing liked a bowl of warm mutton soup with the crispy Hu pancake.

Although the price was not cheap, Yang Qing had spent nearly a thousand taels of silver on the corpse last night, so he naturally didn't mind spending a small amount of money to satisfy his hunger.

"I was just trying to find you, Brother Yang Qing, but I didn't expect to meet you at the door."

"I've been waiting for you, too. Tell me what you want from me."

Xu Caikun hesitated for a moment and said.

"Didn't I make this clear to Brother Yang Qing before? If the Doujin Casino and the forces behind it raid my home, I will need Brother Yang Qing to help.

In order to facilitate the communication, I thought of using fireworks.

But you also know that our Hengzhou City has always had strict control over fireworks, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get things like fireworks.

After all, when it comes to something as important as conveying information, it is impossible to let it go at will to avoid confusing the audience.

I also spent a lot of effort and finally got a few green fireworks yesterday. Let me tell you, we will use the green fireworks as signals when the time comes.

I hope Brother Yang Qing will not hesitate when he sees the green fireworks. The lives of the dozen or so people in my Xu family are in the hands of Brother Yang Qing."

"Okay, don't worry, I've got it in mind!

When I see the green fireworks, I will rush to your house immediately." Yang Qing nodded and agreed.

"In that case, I would like to thank Brother Yang Qing first.

By the way, you said you were waiting for me here, is there anything I can do for you?"

When Yang Qing heard Xu Caikun's question, he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and placed them on the table.

"I'd like to trouble you to exchange all this silver for the Filthy Trace Beads.

I am not very familiar with this matter, and I believe you should have more knowledge in this area than I do."

"Where did you get so much money? You're not going to rob people, are you?"

Xu Caikun took the banknotes and took a quick look at them, and he knew that the amount in this stack was over a thousand taels.

"No, no, no, on the contrary, I was robbed. And this matter has something to do with you."

Yang Qing picked up the bowl, took a bite of the Hu pancake and sipped a mouthful of mutton soup, and continued talking as the Hu pancake made a crispy sound.

"I was attacked by a group of monks last night, and these banknotes were taken from them.

Coincidentally, I learned from the Night Patrol this morning that the group of people who attacked me last night were the second in command of the Doujin Casino.

You know what this means, right?

Because of you, I am now on the must-kill list of the Doujin Casino."

"I understand. Then please wait for me for a moment, Brother Yang Qing."

Having said this, Xu Caikun immediately understood the reason.

After apologizing seriously, Xu Caikun turned around and ran towards his own house. After a while, he came back, but this time he had a small brocade box in his hand.

“I know that Brother Yang Qing might need these Filthy Trace Beads, so I have tried to collect some in the past few days.

There is not much stock of this thing circulating in the market now, so the price has risen a lot.

There are thirty of them here, which are exchanged with the silver notes you just exchanged.

Don't worry, it's more than enough. If you think it's not enough, I'll think of a solution later."

According to the market price, the price of this evil bead is normally between sixty and seventy taels per piece. If the demand is high, the price will go up even further.

After all, this thing can only be obtained from evil spirits, and in the absence of major events, the monthly output is limited.

As the demand increases, the price will naturally go up.

During this period of time, the young master of the Xu family has bought quite a lot of pearls in the market. Now in Hengzhou Prefecture, the price of the Evil Trace Pearl has been fluctuating around eighty taels per pearl.

At this moment, Xu Caikun gave thirty silver notes worth more than one thousand taels. It must be said that this guy knows how to handle things.

"Thank you very much! Mr. Xu is very generous. I will also take your matter to heart."

Yang Qing bowed his hands to express his thanks. He did not want to be polite as he was in urgent need of some Filthy Pearls.

The Mo Guang is still sleeping and recuperating in the altar due to overdrawing his energy. I wonder if these evil beads can wake it up earlier.

Also, that guy uses the Filthy Pearls as food, so we have to leave some for it so that it can have some energy to replenish when it wakes up at any time.

In addition, he also needs the Filthy Pearl to improve his strength. All of this can only be achieved with the Filthy Pearl.

"So poor!" Yang Qing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It depends on killing evil spirits one by one to obtain it, and it is unknown how long it can last.

Thinking of this, Yang Qing felt that it would be faster to make money by robbing and stealing corpses.

It’s just a pity that even if Yang Qing was going to rob, there weren’t so many “second in command” people for him to consume late at night.

"Brother Xu, I heard that your family has been doing business for generations. Do you have any good ways to make money?"

"Brother Yang Qing is short of money? Or do you need a large number of Filthy Trace Beads?"

"That's it."

Yang Qing did not deny it.

Xu Caikun was smart enough not to ask any more questions. He thought that Yang Qing needed the Filthy Trace Pearl in order to exchange it for skills or elixirs at the Yeyou Division.

He knew that the Night Tour Department had its own exchange mechanism.

By handing in the Filthy Beads, you can convert them into Merit Points, which can then be exchanged for some elixirs, techniques, or magical tools that can increase your strength.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Caikun spoke slowly.

"Brother Yang Qing, you also know that doing business, to put it simply, is to transport cheap things here to cities where they are in short supply and sell them, so as to make a profit from the difference!

The Xu family now has only one way to make money, which is to buy low and sell high and exchange what we have between cities.

Just like the rice-flavored dried fish that is unique to Hengzhou Prefecture, it only costs 15 cents per pound locally.

But if it can be transported to Baisha Prefecture in the north, it would cost at least twenty-five cents.

If we sell all the goods and bring in the gray hemp cloth, a specialty of Baisha Prefecture, the profit we make can at least double.”

"Is it so high? It can be doubled in one round trip.

But Brother Xu, the things you mentioned don't seem to be very popular! Are the things in short supply now agricultural and sideline products such as dried fish and coarse cloth? "

"Cough cough."

Upon hearing this, Xu Caikun coughed twice hurriedly to ease his embarrassment.

"It's different nowadays, nowadays it's all allocated which company can transport what goods and which route to take.

Just like the route my Xu family can take now, we only have access to the dried fish and burlap between Hengzhou Prefecture and Baisha Prefecture.

It is indeed embarrassing to say this, but my Xu family was not like it is now back then."

Xu Caikun felt ashamed at the moment, so he rubbed his hands awkwardly.
