Li Xiao is very indifferent to caviar. He really doesn't know what is so delicious about this fishy and salty thing. Anyway, his tongue can't appreciate this so-called delicacy. He would rather go home and eat the grass carp roe that he made for a few yuan per catty than eat that thing that is more expensive than gold.

Of course, Li Xiao wouldn't say that. After all, the old man in front of him made him feel a little ignorant. That face looked amiable, but it always gave him a strong sense of danger. It seems that this is not the grandpa chef but an assassin hidden in the shadows.

Li Xiao doubts that as long as half a sentence in the next chat is not speculative, the old man will immediately tear off the apron around his chest to reveal his eight-pack abs, and then use a 30-meter-long machete to kill him. Cut into eight pieces.

"Tell me, that boy Valoja asked you to come to me, what's the matter?"

Li Xiao replied sincerely: "The general sent me here mainly to collect information. I need all the information about the British, French, Turks and Romanians. The more detailed the better, I also need weapons. At least Thirty long guns and fifty short guns."

Without even raising his eyelids, the old man cut off another large piece of beef, and placed the bloody beef on his dinner plate. While deftly slicing it with a small knife, he stuffed a piece into his mouth like eating peanuts.

"The gun is easy to handle, but the information is not easy to handle!" He said and handed the bloody meat slices on the plate to Li Xiao: "Try it? Pure natural taste."

Li Xiao was really disgusted, the way he ate raw meat made him think of Dr. Hannibal, anyway, the old man in front of him was even scarier than Dr. Hannibal.

Li Xiao asked cautiously: "Haven't you always been in the intelligence business? Why is it difficult to handle intelligence?"

While chewing the raw meat, the old man replied slowly: "The gun is given because of the relationship between Valoja and the previous one, but the information cannot be given. Relationships are business and business, and they cannot be mixed together."

Li Xiao was slightly relieved by these words. What he was afraid of was that the old man would simply refuse. Now that they could talk, let's do business. Anyway, he never thought of getting the other party's information for nothing.

"Naturally," Li Xiao replied without changing his expression, "Then how do you calculate the price of information here?"

The old man seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Xiao didn't continue to play the emotional card at all, but accepted his conditions to discuss business. This is very different from those guys who came here before.

As long as the old man thinks of those guys who came before, he will feel secretly angry.

Those dog legs in the third part have their eyes higher than the top, thinking that they are their subordinates and can get whatever they want. All of them look like your uncle, do you really think that you are the suzerain of the Orthodox world!

The old man is a man of temperament, otherwise he would not have categorically left Houlu, a high-ranking official in Greece, to go to Constanta as a chef alone. If you offend him, it doesn't matter who you are, just talk to me like a roast duck.

When Li Xiao first came in, the old man thought he was another freeloader, and for Kornilov's sake, he prepared to give him some weapons. Who would have thought that Li Xiao didn't look like an empty-handed white wolf, which made the old man a little surprised and interested in Li Xiao.

The old man picked up another piece of meat and put it in his mouth. After chewing for a while and swallowing it, he said, "The rule here is ten pounds per question, no checks, no IOUs, just talk about the money!"

Li Xiao chuckled and said, "It's quite simple."

As he spoke, he took out a gold bar from his handbag, pushed it directly in front of the old man, and said, "This is almost enough for ten questions, what do you think?"

The old man was surprised again. He looked at Li Xiao again and said, "That's enough. Seeing how straightforward you are, I'll give you an extra question."

Li Xiao nodded slowly, and said, "Thank you then. I am a person who likes to ask questions, and I have a lot of questions. Ten questions are really not enough."

The old man just smiled slightly and said, "You can start asking."

Li Xiao thought for a while and asked, "Who is the biggest black market dealer in Constanta?"

The old man smiled and said, "It's right in front of your eyes!"

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Apart from you?"

The old man replied naturally: "Look for Ivanov at the mule and horse market in the west of the city."

Li Xiao asked again: "Who is the intelligence chief of the British in Constanta?"

"Richardson, general manager of Global Trading Company."

"Where's the French intelligence chief?"

"Valentine Payton, general manager of Gold Star Trading Company."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's still a virtue. Who is the local leader of the Romanians?"

"Christian Torel, you can find him in the Hammer Gang. By the way, the Hammer Gang is usually active in the crafting area."

"Is the Hammer Gang powerful? How many people are there?"

The old man ate another piece of raw meat, and replied calmly: "It's very big, especially in recent months, it has grown very fast, there are no fewer than hundreds of thugs, and there are plenty of weapons and ammunition in hand. In addition, the local Romanians follow their lead. It can be said that It’s an overwhelming response.”

"Then where is their source of funding?"

Li Xiao found that the old man didn't understand the meaning of this question, so he quickly explained: "What does the Hammer Gang mainly rely on to make a living? Is it collecting protection fees, or smuggling, or simply doing business without money?"

The old man nodded and said: "That's the image, the Hammer Gang does everything, collects protection money and also engages in a sideline of extortion, and also does a little smuggling, but not much..."

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly smiled evilly and said: "It is said...it is just a rumor, I can't guarantee the truth, old man. It is said that the Hammer Gang received a lot of funding from the British."

Li Xiao smiled, because he knew very well that this was probably not a rumor, but a fact. The British are best at using money to carry out subversive activities. For rich British men, problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.

Think back then, in order to cheat Napoleon, he directly assisted Russia with millions of pounds, otherwise, with the lame appearance of Tsarist Russia, he would be able to carry the three axes that broke the wheel?

Li Xiao thought for a while and asked again: "Which gang is the mortal enemy of the Hammer Gang?"

The old man looked at Li Xiao again, but he didn't say much, and replied calmly: "There are two mortal enemies of the Hammer Gang. One is the Iron Eagle Society supported by your third department, and the other is dominated by Turks. The Star Moon Gang."

Li Xiao continued to ask: "Who are the leaders of these two families?"

The old man replied with a smile: "This has to be counted as two questions!"

Li Xiao didn't care and said, "Yes!"

Only then did the old man reply: "The president of the Iron Eagle Society is Ivanov, and its headquarters is at No. 17 Church Road. The leader of the Star Moon Gang is Gerhan Aziz. You can find him at No. 5 Dock Street .”
