In the blink of an eye, before and after the Qingming Festival, the rain that fell for half a month in a row, the rain was continuous, the peach willows were sad, the days were exceptionally cool, and when it passed, the weather gradually warmed up, the spring river was warm, and Qinhuai became more and more lively.

The two sides of the strait painting boat boat with those Qinglou Chu Pavilion, Golan tile day and night are drunk and singing, prosperous and joyful, this is the largest gold cave in the capital, the joy nest in the eyes of men, the gold and silver hole in the eyes of women, the three more square finished, the five more open again, the fire tree and silver flower do not sleep.

A month ago, when Zhang Haiduan, the head of the court, was assassinated by the black stone, as soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a storm in the city, and it was not until a few days in the late spring that it slowly faded.

Although the imperial court said that it was a large-scale search for the people in the black stone, the court official who spoke said it on the first day, and the next day, the head moved.

The hundred officials were silent, and only pretended to post a few notices, and then grabbed a few death row prisoners from the prison, used them as Heishi's scapegoats, and beheaded them on the street, so as to calm the panic of the people.

The spring breeze is blowing, and above the clear water, there are clouds and shadows, sparkling, as if you can still see the fish in the water.

The weather is warm, and the clothes of the girls in the building are getting thinner and thinner, some are scattered with cloud temples, exposing their shoulders and necks, snow skin and cream, glamorous and moving, leaning on the red window, shaking the fan and smiling, making people only feel like a dream of flowing clouds and spring.

Especially the tea pavilion under the clear sky in that corner, the surrounding area is particularly lively, and the boathouse painting boat by the river is moored on the shore early every day, no matter how they fight, how to fight, but the one in the pavilion is only a pale end.

The lord of Jinghua with a beautiful crown, in the end, can't compare to a man.

It is strange to say that at first, there were some powerful people who coveted that face, and most of the poor in the world sought food and clothing and stability, but the rich were different, and when they had more money, they naturally had to think about the Fa to spend, and the powerful and powerful were even more looking for freshness in the Fa. No matter how well the song is sung, isn't it still a ninth-rate, people at the bottom of the market, but if they are favored by some powerful people, they are not allowed to knead, coerce and lure, how many top Oirans have ended up like this over the years.

What if he was a man?

What is surprising is that in the past few days, most of those who dare to coerce have never appeared again.

On this day, the song has been sung.

Under the cornices in a corner, Su Qing leaned against the window slightly, half-closed eyes, affected by the gentle breeze on his face, as if he was taking a nap, he wore a snow-white robe today, which was inlaid with gold and silver brocade, embroidered with flowing clouds and flying flowers, and his wrists and hands were all wrapped in his sleeves.

The shopkeeper hesitated, and said uneasily: "Sir, why don't you take more of this silver?" ”

"How?"

Su Qing didn't open his eyes, but just wondered.

"It's just that I saw a lot of bustards in the building come over to ask you for a lot of money, it's not that I'm afraid of you, hehe," he smiled a little embarrassedly, this was afraid that people would run away.

Su Qing opened his eyes and said with some amusement: "Don't worry, since I am famous through your place, I have always done things from beginning to end, and we are not people who are untrustworthy when we say good things!" ”

As if he had eaten a reassuring pill, the shopkeeper with a round body breathed a sigh of relief, gave the silver, and retreated.

The warm breeze was soft, listening to the sound of the piano on the riverside, Su Qing was about to sleep again, but his eyelids were not all closed, but he suddenly opened them, because a man in gray walked in outside the door, looking like an idler, a little sloppy, with a smile on his face.

"The scenery of your place is not bad, and you can still look at these girls when you have nothing to do, not bad!" He looked out the window and praised a few words, and he still had flour on him.

"If you have something, talk about it!"

Su Qing took a sip of tea slowly, and the person who came was none other than Lei Bin.

Lei Bin smiled and took a pastry from the table, leaned on the table, and said casually while eating: "It's not a big deal, it's just that Fat Chen issued a reward order, these days many masters of black and white have come, the countrymen have never seen anything in the world, one by one lawless, the wheel king let you go to the town and show your face!" ”

Su Qing asked:

"Hmm, where?"

"Tonight, Tonghe Bank."

After Lei Bin finished speaking, he didn't mean to stay for a long time, got up and walked out, as if just to pick up these few words, and said with a smile in his mouth: "This snack tastes good, I'll take a few pieces back and taste it!" ”

"Hey, who are you? When did it come up? ”

The guy was about to come in, and the two looked at each other, couldn't help shouting a few words, and reached out to stop him.

Su Qing said casually: "It's okay, let him go!" ”

Hearing this, the guy gave up, and when Lei Bin went out, he brought in a little girl with braids.

"Sir!"

"Let me see what you've caught today?"

Su Qing smiled, took the fish basket, and when he opened it, it was full of big crabs, crawling vividly.

"Oh, I'm afraid it took a lot of work, right?"

"But no, my hands are broken, my father said it's been more than a month, you can't eat fish every day, no matter how much you like to eat, you'll get tired of it, I'll give you a fresh change, I'll catch it before dawn!"

The little girl is not afraid of life at all, she responds crisply, her name is Yinling, her voice is also like Yinling, crisp and beautiful, laughing like a warbler's cry, very pleasant, big eyes, eyelashes are curved, and the goose-egg-like little face reveals the unique whiteness and delicacy of Jiangnan women, with a long braid, and a longevity lock around her neck.

Su Qing looked at her hands when she heard this, and sure enough, she saw a few small bloody wounds.

He smiled a little and said, "Trying so hard to please me, tell me, what do you want to do?" ”

The little girl had a kind of embarrassment of being peeped through, her lively little face suddenly turned red, her chin was buried, her hands were cramped and uneasy to rub the corners of her clothes, and her mouth said expectantly: "Can Mr. teach me to sing?" ”

It was as if the question seemed rude and abrupt to her.

Su Qing was a little curious.

"Why did you suddenly have this thought?"

Seeing that he was not angry, Yinling did not refuse, and cautiously raised his head like a frightened rabbit, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he said quietly: "A few days ago, a floating corpse was fished out of the river!" ”

Su Qing asked, "Do you know?" ”

The little girl nodded. "We grew up together, three years older than me, her father also set up a boat on the river, half a year ago she was promised to someone's family, I heard that she was older than her father's age, but the man owed the gambling house silver, so he wanted to sell her to the kiln to pay off the debt, and in the end she was beaten to death, and her body was naked!"

She seemed to have seen the miserable death, and her little face turned pale.

"So, I think if I learn to sing with my husband, will life be better!"

Unexpectedly, Su Qing was silent for a while, but shook his head.

Yinling's face turned even paler, her eyes darkened, and her spirit was gone, and she whispered: "The crab is delivered, then I'll go back!" ”

After that, he turned around.

"I haven't said it yet, what do you understand?"

Su Qing sighed and suddenly spoke, and the little girl subconsciously turned around again, her gloomy little face seemed to come to life again, and he said gently: "Do you think I became famous by singing music?" If my face is ruined, no matter how good I sing, I will starve to death! ”

"If you really want to live better, you don't have to learn to sing songs first!"

Rubbing the little girl's head, Su Qing blinked.

Silver Bell wiped away her tears.

"So what am I going to learn?"

Su Qing pursed her lips and looked at her definitely, her eyes changed, as if she was thinking about something, and then said softly: "Do you want to learn tricks?" ”

The little girl tilted her head, a little dazed. "Is it all the juggling on the street?"

Su Qing's eyes flickered. "What you learn is different, what you want to learn is called Shenxian Suo, which is infinitely mysterious, very powerful, much more powerful than singing."

"Did you learn from Mr.?"

"No, with another person, but he shouldn't accept apprentices!"

Yinling only felt that his mood was simply ups and downs, ups and downs.

Seeing that her expression was about to darken again, Su Qing laughed, feeling interesting, but her smile quickly narrowed, and she said lightly: "If you don't accept apprentices, it doesn't mean that he won't teach you, don't worry, I will let him willingly give you all what he has learned!" ”

"Then can I still learn to sing from my husband?"

Yinling asked suddenly, looking earnest.

Su Qing said with a smile: "When you learn the Immortal Suo, I will teach you, but you have to keep this matter secret, even your father can't say it, you can only know it, you know it, I know!" ”

"Hmm!"

The little girl's eyes were bright and she nodded heavily.

After seeing Yinling happily go downstairs, Su Qing retracted his gaze, Shi Shiran got up, and walked back with the fish basket.

……

It's late at night.

The stars are vast, just like the lights of thousands of homes in the capital, between the high-rise buildings, the lights and shadows hang, some people are asleep, some people have not slept.

There was a sound of three watches on the street.

In Tonghe Money Village, there were people who didn't sleep, the lobby was full of tables and stools, and at the beginning of the sound, figures poured in from outside the door one after another, holding a variety of blades in their hands.

Among these people, there are many masters of one side, there are also famous bandits, as well as notorious Jiangyang thieves, and wanted villains, all of whom are not good.

Upstairs, the person in charge was a man with a rich body and a brocade robe, no matter whether his body was round, even his face was round, his cheeks were covered with flesh, and he looked forty.

This is another person in Blackstone, nicknamed Fat Oil Chen, who handles Blackstone's accounts and news from all parties in the rivers and lakes, and only obeys the orders of the "Wheel King", and sits on an equal footing with the three major killers.

Everyone arrived one after another, and seeing that Fatty Chen hadn't spoken yet, someone had already slapped the table impatiently. "When, exactly? If you have something to say, we all came from afar, and we don't have the time to waste time here! ”

Fatty Chen replied lightly.

"If you can't wait, let's go!"

The man's face turned red with shame.

"Fuck, isn't Blackstone Mo entertaining us?"

"What about entertaining you?"

A voice that was not salty or light suddenly sounded from outside the door.
