Ding Yuehua did not know what to say. Those who should know about the black market would know about it, and those who should not would not know about it.
It wasn’t that secretive, but it wasn’t to the point of spreading it everywhere.
Shu Yu saw her conflicted look and sighed. “Forget it. I won’t ask you if it is difficult for you to answer. I’ll think of a way to find out more. Those three young masters are not easy to get along with. I have to be mentally prepared.” “Find out more? No, no, no. Don’t ask around.
“But I have to understand it. The black market sounds like a very dark place. It should be an illegal business. Is it a place for illegal human trafficking, hiring people to kill and set fire to the place, or even slaughtering people like livestock in front of everyone, or…”
Ding Yuehua gasped. “Stop, stop, stop. What are you thinking about? It’s getting more and more ridiculous.”
Shu Yu trembled. “I can’t help it. When those three young masters talked about that jade plate, it was as if they wanted to kill someone. They can’t find trouble with me today. What if they find my third uncle or my other family members later? I still have young brothers and sisters at home. My third uncle’s youngest daughter, Baoya, is only three. If they take revenge…”
“Okay, okay…” Ding Yuehua felt helpless. “I’ll tell you. The black market is not as bad as you think.”
“Isn’t it illegal?”
Ding Yuehua was speechless.
It was illegal but completely different from the bloody thoughts in Shu Yu’s mind.
Ding Yuehua held her forehead. “There is indeed a black market in Jiangyuan County. The only black market in Dongan Province is here. It was called a black market because many things were not traded on the table.”
For example, the government-controlled salt and iron.
Of course, even in the black market, such things would not be sold in large quantities. Otherwise, there would be a big mess, and the black market could not continue. Moreover, those things were also expensive.
Some stolen goods or treasures could easily cause trouble, which was easier to sell in the black market.
Of course, human trafficking also existed. However, this kind of thing was the rarest in the black market. After all, even if a living person was bought, preventing him from meeting people was impossible. Getting into trouble without a household registration was effortless, which was very troublesome.
“The murder and arson you mentioned won’t happen. Although the black market is a black market, it is still orderly. If there was no special reason, no injury could happen inside.”
Ding Yuehua continued. “Those who go to the black market are not hooligans or vicious bandits. Instead, it’s the rich who go there. The black market has to ensure the safety of these people.”
Shu Yu looked enlightened. “I see. I’m relieved now.”
She approached Ding Yuehua and asked with a smile, “Have you been there?”
Ding Yuehua had never been there. Although she had taken over some of the family business, that place was still unsuitable for her to come into contact with. Mr. Ding naturally would not allow her to get involved.
Shu Yu asked more, and Ding Yuehua told her everything she could.
However, she had been extra careful and did not answer many questions.
Shu Yu still had her way of getting what she wanted. Even if Ding Yuehua didn’t say it, she knew everything.
For example… the location of the black market, as well as the time of the market opening..
