"Therefore, some people always pay huge sums of money to let fishermen go out to sea to search for sharks."
After hearing this, Wu Zhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "As long as it's shark meat, it's okay to eat it?"
Bai Qianqian shook his head: "You must be a shark who lives for more than 200 years."
"Only a hundred-year-old shark can produce those blood-red pearls."
"The number of sharks is not large. Trying to find the whereabouts of the sharks in the vast ocean is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"And it's even more difficult for sharks who are over two hundred years old."
Wu Zhi had a sullen face and frowned.
"Since the old Taoist priest would mention such a thing, it means that he should also know something about the inside story."
"Let's go, let's go to the market in Yangzhou, maybe we will gain something."
Bai Qianqian followed Wu Zhi's footsteps and asked Wu Zhi: "This is your first time in Yangzhou. You are not familiar with the place. You are looking for such a rare shark. Aren't you asking for trouble?"
Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Miss, you are the one who caused this trouble for me."
"Your cousin won't be able to get home until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. He's currently idle anyway, so why not go and find out on your own?"
"And the old Taoist priest must know some inside stories. He obviously wants me to find the sharks as an opportunity to investigate Yangzhou. Maybe there is something fishy here."
In fact, Wu Zhi also wanted to find out the real reason why Fusang people were everywhere in these streets and alleys.
To be honest, the presence of so many little devils in the Song Dynasty made Wu Zhi a little concerned.
Bai Qianqian followed Wu Zhi's footsteps and found it a bit novel to go to the market to investigate the sharks.
Although she comes from the world of martial arts and often travels around the world, the people she interacts with are basically reputable people.
And she also belongs to the kind of loner who rarely takes the initiative to interact with people in the market.
Wu Zhi left the Yamen and went directly to Yangzhou East City.
Yangzhou has convenient transportation and is located on the main road from north to south, so merchants from the north and south can be seen everywhere, as well as some from all walks of life.
The appearance of such heavenly beings as Bai Qianqian and Pan Jinlian immediately attracted many people to stop and watch.
In some dark places, some people even stuck out their tongues and licked the corners of their mouths while looking at the beauty. Their eyes showed strong possessiveness.
If it were normal times, Wu Zhi might have asked Pan Jinlian and Bai Qianqian to wear veils to cover their faces.
Wu Zhi's move was obviously intentional.
Sure enough, when Wu Zhi deliberately took a detour to a relatively secluded alley, several people suddenly jumped out in front of him.
Wu Zhi stopped and turned around, finding that several people were surrounding him.
When Bai Qianqian saw this, she snorted coldly and was about to take action when Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Miss Bai, don't worry, just leave these little bastards to me."
"Compared to your white and tender hands, my fist is harder."
As he spoke, Wu Zhi walked forward.
A man with a shaggy beard, a few pigtails on his head, and even a flower on his head, staggered and led people to Wu Zhi with an arrogant look on his face.
Arranging flowers on the hair is something that many of the more slutty men in the Song Dynasty would do.
In the past, the high-ranking official from Ximen used to put flowers in his hair.
Wang Ying, the short-legged tiger, is also a show off. It seems that in the underworld, this guy also wears flowers on his hair.
This kind of person usually has a personality and loves to show off.
And such people basically hang out in the market, have a few dirty money in their hands, usually have one or two forces behind them, and what they do is not a clean job.
The man with the pigtails held a knife and pointed the sharp blade at Wu Zhi.
"Boy, there are two paths for you to choose now!"
"If you are smart, get out of here and leave these two beauties!"
Wu Zhi smiled and asked: "Is there another way?"
The other party said fiercely: "Boy, it seems you want to die!"
