romantic flower

Look around, pink everywhere.

There was a refreshing peach blossom fragrance floating in the air, and the three of them walked quietly in the peach forest, letting the occasional falling petals fall on their shoulders or hair tips.

In the most beautiful season of March, Song Yi's family was reunited in the peach blossom forest.Song Yixing is in front, and Huang Ying is holding Qingyan's hand and following behind him, the picture is quiet and warm, but suddenly there is a sigh in the depths of the peach forest.

This sigh came suddenly, disrupting the originally beautiful atmosphere and turning it into melancholy.

Song Yi's eyes followed his steps towards the sighing sound, and finally saw the sighing person in the deepest part of the peach forest, and he was slightly surprised.

The man's hair was all white, he was dressed in common clothes, and he was standing in front of a wooden sign inserted into the mound with his hands behind his back, looking up at the falling peach blossoms.

Song Yi was surprised, of course, not because there was a tomb in this peach forest, but because he immediately recognized the sighing person as Zheng Hu, the leader of the Salt Gang!

Although Zheng Hu's appearance was not obvious, it was easy for Song Yi to remember him in his heart once.It is often this kind of Jianghu figure who is more difficult to deal with than the power in the court, so Song Yi has always put Zheng Hu in a corner that he needs to be vigilant about.

Now in the Peach Blossom Temple, in the Peach Blossom Forest, Song Yi was naturally surprised to see this person who was so powerful in Jiangnan, but he was even more curious about who was buried in that mound?Zheng Hu sighed at a loss because of this! [

Huang Ying and Qing Yan saw the subtlety of the atmosphere, and were about to step forward to remind Song Yi to leave, when they saw the white-haired man turn his head and look at Song Yi.

Song Yi saw Zheng Hu smiling at him, then bowed his head slightly to greet Huang Ying and Qing Yan behind him!I also returned the salute as a greeting

"I'm waiting for you." Zheng Hu said suddenly.

Song Yi was stunned for a moment, and then felt confused after recovering, while Qing Yan and Huang Ying's expressions were even more disturbed.

"You go to the meditation room and wait for me first, Erhu is there," Song Yi calmly said to Huang Ying and Qing Yan.

Although they are worried, smart women always know that in certain situations, they only need to obey the man's advice, not to mention that Huang Ying and Qing Yan are women who have good eyesight for judging the situation!They had no choice but to gently tell Song Yi to be careful, and then they left Taolin quickly.

Song Yi then turned to face Zheng Hu.

Seeing all this, Zheng Hu didn't have much expression, and only after Huang Ying and Qing Yan walked out of the Taolin together did he say with a light smile, "You don't need to guard against me! Although you killed my sister, she is not with me after all. Darling, it’s even more different from mine.”

"I didn't guard against you, I just thought that if you were waiting for me, then there shouldn't be women participating in this kind of occasion!" Song Yi replied calmly.

Zheng Hu smiled lightly, then glanced at the wooden sign beside him and said, "Actually, there are still some."

Song Yi's eyes moved slightly, wondering what the relationship between the woman lying in the tomb and Zheng Hu would be?Why is he waiting for himself here?

"The abbot is my master." Zheng Hu seemed to understand Song Yi's doubts, and then opened his mouth to answer Song Yi's doubts.

Song Yi was shocked for a moment, and many things suddenly became clear in his mind, and then he suddenly understood the reason why the Peach Blossom Temple is standing still and the abbot is well-informed!Immediately sighed, "So this news is probably shocking enough, but why did you tell me?"

"I'm waiting for you, that's what Master meant, and it should be an inevitable result, because since you participated in the grain collection, I will definitely look for you!" Zheng Hu said.

Song Yi was surprised, "So you came here for this matter?"

"Of course! This matter is big enough. I don't think it's hard to know. Do you think that Yutou Zhang really has such a great ability to hide it from me?" Arrogant breath.

Song Yi could know that Zheng Hu was right when he thought about it slightly. As a member of the Salt Gang, how could Yutou Zhang truly survive without Zheng Hu's control?

"You know, what do you want?" Song Yi asked with a guarded expression.

"You and Yutou Zhang are also cooperating with the Salt Gang, how about you cooperating with me, I can help you!" Zheng Hu said solemnly.

Song Yi's heart trembled suddenly, there was no news that Zheng Hu's words would be more shocking at this time!Zheng Hu's power is a powerful figure in Jiangnan Road and even the whole world of salt and iron smuggling in Dazhao, and if Song Yi's current predicament really has his help, it can indeed be solved by bypassing the Shen family, but this The relationship among them is so serious that it will be difficult to get out after Song Yi is involved!

"What? Do you think that you are not in collusion with the Salt Gang because you cooperated with Yutou Zhang?" Zheng Hu stared at Song Yi's frowning brows and sneered.

"I'm a businessman, and so are you. So you and I should know that there is no white pie in the sky. Even if there is, it is poisonous. After all, the relationship between me and Yutou Zhang is a trade-off, but you are different. You can do it by yourself, so why involve me? And I don’t even think that you have a reason to participate in this matter. The business of the Salt Gang is self-contained, and your behavior is also very suspicious,” Song Yi said cautiously.

"You're right, and the truth is very clear. But if another person stands in your current position, it may be difficult to reject me. After all, you are different. As you said, the Salt Gang is self-contained, and even court The power of the hall is not enough to shake it! But the fact that the court is not moving is just because there are many people who are supported by the salt gang. They are above the court but receive the salary of my salt gang. Now since you invented Since the construction of the new ship, the court has invested more power, which has reduced a lot of the strength of the Salt Gang. This is why I indulge Yutou Zhang to cooperate with you! No matter how strong the Salt Gang is, it shouldn’t be due to hard work. My brother is I, Zheng Hu, are able to take advantage of those beastly people, and I have to rely on those talents to keep the Salt Gang safe and secure for a long time. The current situation just gives me a chance," Zheng Hu said with a sneer.

"If you interfere, why bother to find me? I don't mean that the forces of the court will naturally not be enemies with the court!" Song Yi replied solemnly.

"You don't represent the court? Didn't you accept the request of the magistrate of Yangzhou?" Zheng Hu chuckled.

Song Yi's eyes flickered, and he said in disbelief, "You know it clearly, but even if the magistrate of Yangzhou talked to me about this matter, if I really want to do it, it's not because I stand in front of the court. On the one hand, I hate that there is trouble in the place where I live, and I hate to see that the people in the city I live in will one day die because of lack of food.”

"Hehe! I'm so ambitious, but you don't need to explain this to me, because I don't care who you are for, I just want to cooperate with you!" Zheng Hu laughed.

"If I'm not mistaken! The five surnames in Jiangnan should be behind this incident, and even if the Yan Gang and the five surnames in Jiangnan are doing their own way, at least you are born in the same water and land, right? You are trying to punish Jiangnan. Five families under the knife?" Song Yi said with sharp eyes.

"Jiangnan Five Families Haha! It's really a powerful name! But you are wrong, the Yan Gang and the families with the five surnames in Jiangnan have always been born in different ways. Otherwise, you thought that you helped Shen Nantong build a ship in Lin'an Mansion back then. Why isn't he here to clear up the relationship in the workshop, but you?" Zheng Hu said with a playful smile.

Song Yi frowned, and asked strangely, "Isn't it because Shen Nantong came to me because you didn't interfere with each other?"

"There is a cycle of cause and effect in everything, and how can two people who don't interfere with each other win each other?" Zheng Hu said lightly.

"But even if you are going to be enemies with the five Jiangnan families, I still can't find a reason to cooperate with you. What can you do by yourself have anything to do with me?" Song Yi said, his doubts still belonged to Zheng Hu Purpose!

Zheng Hu was silent for a moment, then stared at Song Yi strangely and said, "Looking at the current situation, you do have a reason not to cooperate with me; but do you want to look farther away? Don't you want to save a few more steps for your future? Is it a vertical and horizontal line to walk?"

Song Yi was shocked, but stared at Zheng Hu cautiously and asked, "What do you say? What does it have to do with the future?"

Zheng Hu laughed, still staring at Song Yi with playful eyes and said, "There is one thing that others may not know, but I do know, because I, Zheng Hu, live longer and see more people"

Song Yi became more and more uneasy. From Zheng Hu's words, he suddenly found that Zheng Hu's scheming and city power were beyond his imagination and expectations, and Song Yi seemed to be unable to guess the trump card that seemed to be in Zheng Hu's hands. .

"What are you talking about?" Song Yi asked coldly, but his heart was full of doubts.

"More than ten years ago, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River was different! At that time, this place was not called Dazhao. There was a pair of beautiful sisters who were famous all over the world. At that time, the whole Jiangnan Province was proud! It is said that the younger sister married into the palace and was named Mrs. Huarui. In the end, it was strange, and disappeared in a fire. For this reason, three thousand infatuated talented scholars and scholars from Jiangnan Road once gathered by the Taihu Lake to mourn the strange woman who combined talent and beauty! But in fact, Mrs. Huarui’s sister also because of That fire and Mrs. Huarui's fragrance disappeared and gradually disappeared from people's sight. Although some people searched for her, they finally found out the news, and no one cared about her whereabouts. Do you know who I am talking about? ?” Zheng Hu asked with a sad expression on his face.

Song Yi was shocked when he heard this, and his expression had already become more complicated. Although he didn't know the woman who died in the palace fire, he understood at that moment that the sister Zheng Hu described was Xu Chang.

For a while, many complicated, bizarre and sad scenes floated in Song Yi's mind, and finally thought of the fire, and then saw Xu Chang crying in front of the fire with a desolate face
