Chapter 369 Black Market Trading

As Yi Yu flourished, the organizations hidden in the dark became more and more picky about the goods they were selling.

This so-called secret organization is a gang called the Black Python Society, whose president Gongsun Mao controls everything.

This gang secretly engaged in various illegal transactions, with weapons and ammunition being their main commodities, ranging from ordinary machetes to rifles. Of course, those rifles were all old-fashioned guns without rifling, which were the ones manufactured in the early days of Luancheng.

In addition, they are also involved in the trafficking of some scarce materials, which can be said to be omnipresent.

The Black Python Society’s base is not far from Weiyuan, and the people entering and leaving it appear to be ordinary laborers looking for work.

Under the protection of the Zuowei Battalion and the Security Team, as long as they don't cause trouble, almost no one will suspect that there is secret smuggling here.

Although Gongmen Jiadi was young, he was quickly promoted to the captain of the Nan'an Commercial District Security Bureau because of his business acumen.

Moreover, he often visited the Left Guard Battalion and became close friends with the battalion captain Gao Daqiang.

One day, Gao Daqiang and Gongmen Jiadi met together.

"Brother, where did your security team get the weapons?" Gao Daqiang asked curiously, stroking the wheeled pistol handed to him by Gongmen Jiadi.

Gongmen Jiadi smiled slightly and said bluntly, "Brother Gao, this is called a wheeled pistol, and it's sold on the black market in Yiyu."

"This price is not cheap, right?" A hint of doubt flashed in Gao Daqiang's eyes.

"Well, a large ingot of gold." Gongmen Jiadi said lightly.

"A large ingot?" Gao Daqiang was slightly startled. "A large ingot of gold is fifty taels. According to the Great Zhou's exchange rate, that's eight hundred taels of silver."

Although Gao Daqiang said it was not expensive, he knew in his heart that as a captain, he would definitely feel heartbroken to pay so much money at once.

Gongmen Jiadi naturally knew that Gao Daqiang had the support of the Lu family, so he was not worried at all that Gao Daqiang could not afford it.

"You mean, if I want it, I have to look for it on the black market? Who should I look for?" Gao Daqiang asked immediately.

"It's hard to say. Mr. Mao is in charge. If the quantity is small, you can try your luck on the black market." Gongmen Jiadi replied.

"Well, I plan to buy ten such pistols first. Can the Mr. Mao you mentioned come to see me?" Gao Daqiang asked expectantly.

Gongmen Jiadi shook his head slightly. "Brother Gao, you're not responsible for public security in the trade zone. You were hired by South Bank to prevent riots. You usually stand guard at several pharmacies. I'm afraid your status isn't enough to meet the leader of the Black Python Society."

Gao Daqiang's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he still didn't give up: "Okay, if you need anything, I can help you connect, just bring the money."

"Oh, since there is a young brother from the government who can help me, then I will take the money and go, and I won't do anything else." Gao Daqiang said hurriedly.

"That's better." Gongmen Jia glanced at Gao Daqiang and said meaningfully.

A few days later, Black Python will send a message, asking Gao Daqiang to make a deal by the river.

When Gao Daqiang heard the news, he was secretly delighted and hurried to the river with only one follower.

From afar, a boat was quietly parked by the river. Gongmen Jiadi and his subordinate Wang Cai were standing on the shore, and two security guards were standing on both sides of the boat.

There were two other people, dressed in ordinary clothes. Gao Daqiang thought that these two people should be members of the Black Python Society.

Seeing Gao Daqiang approaching, Gongmen Jiadi took a few steps towards him and said in a low voice, "Brother Gao, don't have any bad intentions. See, there are people on the boat, and there are rifles with a range longer than a pistol. We can't defeat them."

Gao Daqiang was startled when he heard this, and asked worriedly, "They won't rob each other, right?"

"You think too much. You are a captain of the Left Guard Camp. They only recognize gold and will not do such a thing." Gongmen Jiadi comforted him.

"That's good." After hearing what Gongmen Jiadi said, Gao Daqiang finally felt relieved.

When the Black Python Society members saw Gao Daqiang, they clasped their fists and saluted, saying, "My name is Ma Si. May I ask if you are a lieutenant of the High School?"

"It's me, sir. Have you brought the goods?" Gao Daqiang asked in return, his eyes revealing eagerness.

Ma Si waved his hand, and the followers behind him brought over a sack and placed it on the ground.

Gao Daqiang also waved to the person following him, and that person put a box on the ground.

Then he came to the sack, squatted down, and opened it. He saw a pile of shiny pistols neatly placed inside.

After he looked at the gun, he felt a little unsure because they were not familiar with it and didn't know whether it was a qualified product.

Gao Daqiang's men turned to look at him, and he turned his gaze to Gongmenjiadi.

Gongmen Jiadi sneered, walked forward and pretended to look at the gun, then said to Ma Si: "One shot and one wheel?"

Ma Si held up three fingers and said, "Three!"

"Well, it's not bad." Gongmen Jiadi walked up to Gao Daqiang with the gun and said, "A gun has three magazines, which means a total of twenty-four bullets. After we use up all the bullets, we need to send the magazines over so we can reload them. Do you think it's enough for you?"

Gao Daqiang looked bewildered and asked, "Brother, do you have enough?"

"We're just walking around the streets. We don't need it normally. It's just for self-defense. It's enough for us. If we have to clear out the enemy or go to war, you'll need the big thing." Gongmenjia said, pointing his mouth towards the bow, indicating Gao Daqiang to look at the man holding the rifle at the bow.

Gao Daqiang looked up.

"Wow, what a big gun."

"Ask me how much this big guy costs?" Gao Daqiang said in a low voice.

"Same price as a wheel pistol, but the bullets are extra."

"Same as this hub?"

"It's different. Gun bullets are fired one by one, and the hubs are six bullets together, so you can fire continuously. But a rifle can't do that. You can only fire one bullet at a time."

"Oh, so you mean you have to bring it back after you've finished playing with it?"

"Yes, a bullet for a rifle costs one ounce of silver, and a shell costs five ounces of silver."

After hearing this, Gao Daqiang frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"How about this? I'll take nine pistols, a big gun, and ten bullets today." Gao Daqiang said.

Hearing Gao Daqiang say this, Gongmen Jiadi looked embarrassed, then walked to Ma Si and whispered something, as if they were discussing something.

After a while, Gongmen Jiadi came over.

"Brother Gao, Master Ma Si said that today we will make an exception and fulfill your wish, but you have to bring another large ingot of gold."

"Okay, that's what you said. I'll make up for it right away."

After saying that, Gao Daqiang took out a large gold ingot from his arms and placed it on the lid of the box on the ground.

Ma Si signaled his men with his eyes, and they hurried over, carefully counted the amount of gold, and then habitually took a bite of the gold with their teeth. After confirming that it was correct, they nodded to Ma Si.

A man got off the boat, handed the gun to Gao Daqiang, and then took out ten bullets.
