My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Chapter 127 Black Market

At this time, Mu Zheng and his companions naturally had no idea that someone had been targeting them.

"Everyone, are you planning to leave the city?" A beautiful woman interrupted Mu Zheng and the others' complaints. She looked everyone up and down, and finally locked her eyes on Mu Zheng: "Want to leave the city? Yi Jin, I'll take care of it for you."

Mu Zheng was stunned: "One gold? I'm going to give money anyway, why not just give it to the gatekeeper?"

The girl smiled and said, "Why don't you try it?"

Mu Zheng looked towards the city gate and saw someone offering a purse to the gatekeeper, but it was rejected. Seeing Mu Zheng's puzzled look, the girl giggled, "I guess you're all outsiders, right? No wonder you don't know the rules of the city gate. Some of the money is a partnership, not something that one person can keep all to himself."

The girl pointed to the team next to her, where someone was in charge of arranging the order. "See? Only our people are capable of placing you in the Hun's team."

Ok.

Mu Zheng understood. This was how people with connections worked together and made money together.

Li Cheng didn't want to waste time here, so he gave the girl a gold coin. The girl smiled and took out a hundred coins from her pocket and handed them to the guards guarding the gate. They chatted for a few words, and then saw the girl pointing at Mu Zheng and the others. After a while, the girl came over and told them that they could transfer to other teams.

"You have found a good way to make money." Li Lian teased the girl while waiting in line.

The girl smiled and said, "As a businessman, you have to be more discerning. There is no way to make money in this world, there are only ways to make money that you can't imagine."

Uh.

Mu Zheng glanced at the girl in surprise. He hadn't expected to hear such words from this woman from the outskirts of the Great Wall. Seeing Mu Zheng looking over, the girl winked at him and said, "My handsome boy, if you need anything else, you can also come to me."

Mu Zheng chuckled twice and jokingly said, "Really? What if I want to become a superior person?"

"This..." The girl shook her head and said, "Don't even mention you people from the Central Plains. Even the Xiongnu people find it difficult to become upper class."

Uh.

Mu Zheng didn't expect the girl to actually reply to him seriously. He quickly smiled and said, "I'm just asking."

The girl nodded. "I know, but if you really want the status of a superior, go to the black market and ask."

Oh?

Not only Mu Zheng, but everyone else stopped at the same time.

"Black market?" Li Lian looked at the Acropolis. "Is this one?"

The girl nodded. "Back when the Xiongnu Kingdom and the Han Dynasty were on good terms, there was a lot of interaction. To prevent Xiongnu from offending Han dignitaries, the Chanyu specially ordered the casting of identity plaques specifically for Han Chinese use. Aside from being used by Han Chinese, they were no different from those used by Xiongnu nobles."

"Oh?" Mu Zheng looked at the girl with interest. "Now that the big man has changed his owner, is the nameplate still useful?"

"Our Khan has never recognized that Wang Mang." The girl curled her lips.

Uh.

Everyone looked at each other and thought, hehe, this is interesting. They didn't expect that more than ten years have passed since the Han Dynasty, and the Huns are still missing the Han Dynasty.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not wrong.

After all, the Han Dynasty never looked down on or humiliated the Huns like Wang Mang did.

The merchants were talking at once, most of them expressing their feelings after hearing what the big man said, except for Li Cheng, whose face turned pale.

However, Mu Zheng didn't pay attention to these. He was always thinking about the identity badge of the superior man. If they had this identity, their subsequent operations would be much more convenient.

"Thank you girl!"

Li Cheng didn't want to hear any more about the girl talking about the big man, so he clasped his fists and was about to leave. But just then, there was a commotion at the city gate, and then a group of city gate guards ran out and surrounded everyone. "The Yang family has ordered that the city gates be temporarily closed. The opening date is yet to be determined."

Ok?

There was an uproar at the city gate.

Li Cheng looked at the girl, who also had a bewildered look on her face. Then she smiled at everyone and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll go ask."

After a while, the girl returned and returned the gold ingot to Li Cheng. "I can't leave today. It's said that the young master of the Yang family is looking for someone. They are a high-ranking official. Without his order, the city gate will not be opened under any circumstances."

"The Yang family?" Li Cheng looked at the gold the girl handed over and pushed it back. "Miss, you helped us adjust the team after all. This is what you deserve. By the way, what about the Yang family you mentioned? Also, can you help us find a yard to stay temporarily?"

When the girl saw that Li Cheng refused to accept the gold, she immediately understood what Li Cheng meant. She then told him about the Yang family's situation and found a small courtyard for everyone.

"This is my friend's home. He's not in the city right now, so you can rest assured. Young Master Yang won't close the city gates for long anyway. After all, no one in Acropolis can escape the search of the upper class." The girl accepted the gold ingot and was still very enthusiastic. Along the way, she told everyone a lot about the customs and precautions of Acropolis. Everyone was very impressed with her and thanked her repeatedly.

"Girl!" While everyone was packing their luggage, Li Lian found the girl.

She turned around and saw the beauty, and the corners of her mouth curved up, "Little brother, my name is Sha Yuyi, you can come to me if you need anything. Anything!"

The girl emphasized the last sentence, which made Li Lian blush.

But the name Sha Yu is quite good.

"Can you take me to the black market?" Li Lian asked.

"Black market? Sure." The girl didn't hesitate at all and spread out her right hand.

Li Lian also joined in, handing over a string of copper coins, then waved towards Mu Zheng, "Let's go and see what's so special about this black market outside the Great Wall."

Mu Zheng happened to have nothing to do, so he followed immediately. When Li Cheng saw this, he also shouted that he wanted to go and take a look.

Soon, the four of them arrived at a building complex in the city. It was mostly tents, with a few wooden houses here and there, and the overall look was rather messy.

"Although we outsiders look similar to you Central Plains people, if you look closely, there are still differences. After all, in this dusty land, it's hard to find people with skin as smooth as yours." At the entrance of the black market, Sha Yu suggested that Mu Zheng and the others change into clothes from outside the Great Wall and even took out a few masks and handed them out. "The black market is full of mixed people, so it's better to be careful."

Mu Zheng didn't think it was a big deal, but Li Lian thought the mask was too ugly.

This made Li Cheng roll his eyes several times.

After entering the black market, Sha Yu pointed to the tallest tent in the distance and said, "It is said that this black market was opened by a high-ranking person. However, we have never seen who the real boss behind the scenes is, and we don't know if the identity of that high-ranking person is fake or real."

"Maybe it's true." Mu Zheng thought of the underground markets of later generations, which were almost always participated by top-tier forces, and even had official protection in some places. Otherwise, facing such a violent and unstable factor, why didn't the government ban it?

Sha Yu nodded, but didn't continue the conversation. "Next, I'll give you all a brief overview of the black market..."
