Chapter 308 That year, the fire burned the stamens!

If you look around, it's full of pink.

There was a fragrance of peach blossoms floating in the air. The three of them walked quietly in the peach forest, allowing the occasionally falling petals to fall on their shoulders or ends.

In the best season of March, Song Yi's family reunited in the peach blossom forest. Song Yixing was in front of him, and Huang Ying held the hand of Qingyan and followed him. The picture was quiet and warm, but suddenly there was a sigh in the depths of the peach forest.

This sigh suddenly came, suddenly disturbing the original aesthetic atmosphere and turning it into melancholy.

Song Yi's eyes followed his footsteps towards the sigh. Finally, he saw the man who sighed in the deepest part of Taolin, and then he was slightly surprised.

The man's hair was all white and he was dressed in cloth. He stood with his hands on his back and looked up at the falling peach blossoms before a wooden card inserted into the mound.

Of course, what Song Yi was surprised was not that there would be a mound in the peach forest, but because he recognized at a glance that the person who sighed was Zheng Hu, the master of the Salt Gang!

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

Now in the Peach Blossom Temple, in the Peach Blossom Forest, Song Yi was naturally surprised to see this powerful figure in the south of the Yangtze River, but he was more curious about who was buried in that grave? Zheng Hu sighed because of this!

Huang Ying and Qingyan saw the subtlety of the atmosphere and were about to go forward to remind Song Yi to leave. Then they saw the white-haired man turn around and look at Song Yi.

Song Yi saw Zheng Hu smiling at him, and nodded slightly to Huang Ying and Qingyan behind him! Then I also returned the gift as a greeting...

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

Song Yi was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he felt confused, and the expressions of Qingyan and Huang Ying were even more worried.

"Go to the Zen room and wait for me first. The second tiger is there..." Song Yi said calmly to Huang Ying and Qingyan.

Although they are worried, smart women always know how to do it on certain occasions that they only need to listen to men's words. What's more, Huang Ying and Qingyan are women who have a good eye for judging the situation! They had to gently tell Song Yi to be careful and then quickly left Taolin.

Song Yi then turned to face Zheng Hu.

Zheng Hu saw that all this did not have too many expressions. It was also after Huang Ying and Qingyan walked out of the peach forest together that he smiled and said, "You don't have to be on my guard! Although... You killed my sister, but after all, she is not close to me, and she is even more different from me..."

"I'm not on your guard. I just think that if you are waiting for me, then there should be no women participating in this kind of occasion!" Song Yi replied calmly.

Zheng Hu smiled faintly, and then looked at the wooden card beside him and said, "In fact, there are still some..."

Song Yi's eyes moved slightly, guessing what the woman lying in the grave would have to do with Zheng Hu? 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, and many things suddenly opened up in his mind, and then he suddenly understood the reason why the Taohua Temple stood still and the abbot was well-in-spiring! Suddenly, he sighed, "So it is... I'm afraid this news is amazing enough, but why tell me?

"I'm waiting for you, which is what the master means, and it should be an inevitable result, because since you participated in the grain collection, I will definitely come to you!" Zheng Hu said.

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

"Of course! This matter is big enough. I think it's difficult not to know. Do you think Yutou Zhang really has such a great ability to hide it from me? Zheng Hu smiled faintly, and his tone was faintly mixed with arrogance.

Song Yiwei can know that Zheng Hu is right. As a member of the Salt Gang, how can Yutou Zhang really survive without Zheng Hu's control?

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

"You and Yutou Zhang also cooperate with the Salt Gang. Why don't you cooperate with me? I can help you!" Zheng Hu said with a solemn expression.

Song Yi's heart suddenly trembled. There was no news about what Zheng Hu said at this time! Zheng Hu's power is a hero on the private transportation of salt and iron in the south of the Yangtze River and even the whole State of Zhao, and if Song Yi's current dilemma is really with his help, he can really bypass the Shen family to solve it, but... The involvement is so big that it is difficult to get out after Song Yi is involved!

"What? Didn't you think you were in collusion with the salt gang when you cooperated with Yutou Zhang? Zheng Hu stared at Song Yi's frown 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, and even if there is, it is poisonous... After all, my relationship with Yutou Zhang is a trade-off, but you are different... You can do this by yourself. Why do you involve me? And I can't think of a reason for you to be involved in this matter... The business of the Salt Gang is self-contained, and your behavior is also very suspicious..." Song Yi said cautiously.

"You are right, and it was a clear truth. But if you change your current position, I'm afraid it will be difficult to refuse me. After all, you are different... As you said, the salt gang is self-contained, and even the power of the court is not enough to shake! However, the salt gang in the court is only because many people are raised by the salt gang, and they are on the court, but they receive the salary of my salt gang... Now, since the construction of the new ship you invented, the power invested by the court has increased, which has reduced many of the strengths of the Salt Gang... This is why I indulge in Yutou Zhang to cooperate with you! No matter how powerful the salt gang is, it shouldn't be that my brother worked hard but took advantage of that group of livestock-like people... However, I, Zheng Hu, am incompetent, and I must rely on those people to make the salt gang's long-term peace from collapsing. The current situation just gives me a chance..." Zheng Hu said with a sneer.

"If you interfere, why do you come to me? I don't represent the power of the court... Naturally, it will not be the enemy of the court!" Song Yi replied solemnly.

"Don't you represent the court? Didn't you accept the request of Zhizhou, Yangzhou? Zheng Hu smiled.

Song Yi's eyes flashed and said in disbelief, "You know it clearly, but even if Yangzhou Zhizhou has talked to me about it, if I'm really willing to do it, it's not because I'm on the side of the court, but because I hate the trouble in the place where I live, and I hate watching my own life. The people of this city will one day die because they have no food..."

"Hehe! Good ambition... But you don't have 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! Behind this matter should be the work of the five surnames of Jiangnan, and even if the salt gang goes its own way with the five surnames of Jiangnan, at least you are born together, right? Are you going to cut the five families in the south of the Yangtze River? Song Yi said with sharp eyes.

"Five families in the south of the Yangtze River... Ha ha! What a powerful name! But you're wrong. The Yan Gang and the family with the five surnames of Jiangnan have always been different. Otherwise, why did you think that you helped Shen Nantong build a boat workshop in Lin'an Prefecture? Why didn't he dredge the relationship, but you? Zheng Hu said with a playful smile.

Song Yi frowned and asked strangely, "Didn't Shen Nantong come 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 do not interfere with each other have a win-win situation?" Zheng Hu said lightly.

"But even if you are the enemy of the five Jiangnan families, I still can't find a reason to cooperate with you. What can you do yourself have to do with me?" Song Yi said that his doubts were still Zheng Hu's purpose!

Zheng Hu was silent for a moment, and then stared at Song Yi's strange eyes and said, "Look at the things in front of you, you really have a reason not to cooperate with me; but what about your eyes go further? Don't you want to leave a few more steps to walk for your future?

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

Zheng Hu laughed and still stared at Song Yi with playful eyes and said, "There is something that others may not know, but I know, because after all, Zheng Hu lives longer and sees more people..."

Song Yi became more and more uneasy. From Zheng Hu's words, he suddenly found that Zheng Hu's intentions and the city government were really beyond his imagination and expectations, and it seemed that the card in Zheng Hu's hand was beyond Song Yi to speculate.

"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 is different! At that time, this place was not called the State of Zhao... There was a pair of beautiful sisters who were famous all over the world. At that time, the whole Jiangnan Road was proud! It is said that later, my sister married into the palace and was named Mrs. Huarui, but in the end, she was strange and disappeared in a fire... For this reason, there were once 3,000 talented scholars from Jiangnan Road who gathered on the shore of Taihu to mourn to pay tribute to the strange woman with talent and beauty! But... In fact, Mrs. Huarui's sister gradually dissipated in people's sight because of the big fire and Mrs. Huarui's fragrance. Although someone has explored her, there was no news after all, and no one cared about her whereabouts... Do you understand who I want to talk about? Zheng Hu asked with a melancholy expression on his face.

Song Yi was shocked when he heard this, and his expression had already become extremely complicated. Although he did not know the woman who died in the palace fire, he understood that the sister described by Zheng Hu was Xu Chang...

For a moment, many complex, strange and sad scenes floated in Song Yi's mind. Finally, he thought of the fire, and then saw Xu Chang's helpless scene of crying in the face of the fire...
