Chapter 2324: Fire
Qi Lie quickly took out a map and said, "Their black markets are all outside the city. Firstly, the territory is wide and secondly, it is convenient. However, there should be a tunnel to go directly inside the city. It's a pity that this is not Changjin Mansion. Come here." I haven’t touched it for more than half a year.”
The main reason is that the black market in the southwest is closed now, so he can't get in.
Moreover, the other party has been on guard for a long time and keeps away all strangers. Not only that, they will arrest suspicious people as soon as they find them.
But if it doesn't work here, then change the direction. If you can't mix into the black market, then find another way.
During this time, he integrated many people in the southwest. Most of the people living in the southwest are exiled people or the descendants of exiled prisoners.
When these people are used well, they are all a boost.
Especially since they have been around in the southwest for a long time, some of them are local gangsters with the means and connections.
Because of these people, Qi Lie has not been discovered by people in the black market.
Because of these people, all the men Qi Lie brought with him broke up and infiltrated into Qingxuan County.
For example, the guy who changed clothes with Meng Yunzheng today.
If Meng Yuncheng wanted to investigate the people in Zhengdao Village, Qi Lie could still spare some manpower.
"If possible, let those girls check it out as well."
Qi Lie nodded, "Okay. What's next for you? What are your plans?"
"The things I can do here are limited. I can only use my tricks and wait for the other party to take action. If there is any news, I will leave a mark for you. Since you haven't been discovered yet, we will try to minimize our meetings unless necessary. .”
"That's fine."
The two analyzed the current situation. Since the other party knew that Qi Lie was coming, he must have made sufficient preparations in advance. The current situation was not good for them.
Fortunately, Qi Lie also had a lot of manpower. The magistrate of Qingxuan County whom Meng Yunzheng had suspected earlier was unexpectedly one of their own.
This county magistrate was just like Xiang Weinan back then. The second prince thought he was his, but in fact, he had been favored by the emperor before he ascended the throne and became his secret chess.
Originally, the emperor intended to promote him after he ascended the throne, but who knew that the second prince wanted to place him in Qingxuan County.
It's just that the second prince didn't fully trust him at first and didn't tell him about the black market. He only asked him to stay here temporarily until he was needed to take action later.
After the county magistrate came to the county seat, he tried to find out the second prince's intention of placing him here. However, the police officers in this county government office were all employees of the previous county magistrate. He was having a hard time trying to do something. He could not easily transfer these people, otherwise it would arouse the suspicion of the second prince.
After he finally took the county government into his own hands, the black market disappeared due to the arrest of the second prince and stopped reappearing. It was not until Qi Lie came to the southwest that he realized that this was the last black market point.
Meng Yuncheng felt more at ease knowing that he was one of his own, "Is there a secret passage in the county government office leading to the black market?"
Qi Lie shook his head, "No."
Meng Yuncheng frowned. He and Qi Lie discussed it for a long time until Yin Shi stood up.
"I have to go back, I'll contact you if anything happens."
"Be careful."
Meng Yuncheng got up and left Yizhuang quickly.
He still had to go back to the guy's place and change his clothes before returning to the inn. However, just as he was about to arrive at the house avoiding the patrolling officers, a scream suddenly came from not far away, "There's a fire, get water quickly." Ah, it’s on fire.”
