Chapter 287 - 287: The Jade Token Has Great Use



Lu Sanzhu was a little angry. Did he look like the kind of person who would steal? At most, he would just take what was left behind.

He pointed at the jade token and said, “This thing fell into the water when they were mocking and insulting me at the edge of the lotus pond. God knows why they were so agitated and this thing sunk to the bottom of the pond. When I saw it, I immediately held my breath and dived into the water to pick it up.” Shu Yu looked at the jade token. There was a word engraved on it – “market”. She wondered what it meant.

Lu Sanzhu said mysteriously, “Do you know what this jade token is for?”

“Don’t tell me you want to sell it?”

“I would like to, but this jade token has great use,” Lu Sanzhu lowered her voice even further, “To be honest, before I saw them stop Lanhua, I already met the tnree young masters.”

After Lu Sanzhu had left the pavilion where Master Wen and the others were, he had nothing to do plus the scenery was good, so he simply found a secluded place to sleep.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, the three young masters came over.

Lu Sanzhu had chosen a very hidden place. He could see and hear the other party, but the other party had to bend down and get closer to discover him.

Therefore, the three young masters thought that there was no one around. They sat down to rest and chatted for a while.

The few sentences they said contained so much information that Lu Sanzhu was stunned to the point he almost exposed his whereabouts.

Fortunately, the three of them left after resting for a while, allowing Lu Sanzhu to come out.

He had heard a big secret and was no longer sleepy. He immediately wanted to go back to Shu Yu and the others.

In the end, he bumped into the three young masters on the road and saw that they had stopped a girl. At first, Lu Sanzhu didn’t recognize Lanhua. After all, the latter was dressed differently from usual, and he was not a busybody. Besides, those three young masters were clearly not to be trifled with. Lu Shanzhu was a sensible person who would not be overconfident.

Unexpectedly, the girl’s voice was exceptionally familiar. When Lu Sanzhu turned to take a closer look, he was shocked to find that the girl was not just some random person. She was his niece!

No matter how heartless Lu Sanzhu was and how much he disliked his elder brother and sister-in-law, he couldn’t just watch his niece being bullied like this.

Then, he ended up being pushed into the water.

Shu Yu understood now. No wonder Lu Sanzhu told her that those three young masters were from another county as soon as he came ashore. He also told her that they didn’t want to make a huge commotion. So it turned out that he had eavesdropped on their conversation earlier.

“So, what did you hear them say? Is it related to this jade token?”

Lu Sanzhu nodded hurriedly, “I heard them say that they came here to buy something. However, they can’t buy the items from the market or shops. Instead, they are going to the… Black market. This is the first time I know that there is a black market in Jiangyuan County. Say, even people like me who live in the market don’t know, but the three of them who came from another county know so well.”

Black market?

Shu Yu looked at the jade token in her hand and suddenly understood the word “market” carved on it.

As expected, Lu Sanzhu pointed at the jade token and said, “This is the token to enter the black market.”

Shu Yu’s hand tightened. The black market.

There were such places in modern times too, and Shu Yu had been there before.

In the black markets were various items that couldn’t be traded in normal markets, such as guns, ammunition, antiques, gold, silver, and so on.

She wondered how the black market here was different from the modern black market..
