Daniu widened his eyes and did not dare to speak.
In just a short while, he saw a few familiar people shuttling back and forth. They were all famous figures in Jiangyuan County.
The Eldest Young Master of the Ding family, Jiang Ren of the Jiang family, the Lord of the Wu family, and the old master of the Yu family in town were also present.
Most of them were people he had never seen before. They didn’t look like people from Jiangyuan County at all.
Shu Yu coughed lightly, and Daniu immediately came back to his senses.
Shu Yu whispered, “Let’s go in and take a look.”
Daniu trailed behind her and entered the hall.
The hall in front of him was about 500 square meters. On the left was a round counter with a few screens beside it. Seven or eight people sat at the table in front of the counter and talked to the people who came forward to ask questions.
There was a screen separating them, and the distance between the two tables was a little far. It was obvious that it gave each other a relatively private space.
Shu Yu sighed. This black market was quite wonderful.
There were also many counters in the hall. There were many wooden signs and pictures on them. The wooden signs were written with the items for sale, such as antique calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver, and jade. The pictures were synchronized with the appearance of the items, giving people a more intuitive impression.
Anyone interested in these things could directly ask the waiter standing at the side, and he would give a simple introduction. If they wanted to see the real thing, the waiter would bring it to the room where the items were stored or the storeroom to check it personally.
In this way, the buyer and seller could avoid knowing who the other party was, protecting the privacy of the customer.
Shu Yu walked around with interest, then left the hall in front of her and went out to the side door.
After leaving, they arrived at a beautiful courtyard. This manor was very large. It was unknown who built it, but the environment was very comfortable and pleasant.
Daniu tried his best not to let his eyes wander, but he was still shocked by the bustling scenery in front of him.
“This black market doesn’t look like a black market at all,” he muttered softly.
Shu Yu nodded. “It’s more like a scenic spot for people to play and relax, right?”
“Yes,” Daniu replied. “There’s still something to eat.”
“Then, when there’s no one around, take some food and try it. It’s free anyway.”
Daniu was embarrassed. “l don’t think so.’
“It’s fine. We’re here today to broaden our horizons.” The food here was still safe. Otherwise, if something happened to so many distinguished guests, the black market would not be able to continue operating.
As they spoke, they had already crossed the courtyard and walked to a hall on the left.
This hall was smaller than the one at the entrance, but it was more private. There were many private rooms inside, and the things on the wooden token were more expensive.
Moreover, these wooden signs were hung on the doors of each private room. If one was interested, one could go in and see the real thing or negotiate. One could even meet the seller if they wanted.
Shu Yu soon came out. She had wanted to go to the hall on the right, but when she looked up, she saw a three-story building not far away. Ding Wenxi and the others were walking toward that building.
Shu Yu said to Daniu, “Let’s go over there and take a look.”
Daniu immediately followed. They had already fallen behind the others in their journey to the small building. Most of the people who wanted to enter had already entered.
Shu Yu was just about to walk in when she suddenly saw a person sneaking into the flowers behind the building.
She stopped in her tracks.. Daniu saw it too and quickly said, “Is that a thief? Should we call for help?”
