Chapter 122: A Coincidental Encounter in the Peach Forest, Hand in Hand
The news that Xiao Heng found was actually discovered by accident, because this news was only mentioned by the boatman at the ferry at first, and the boatman said that the weight of this batch of official salt was a little unusual.
This shipmaker has been on the boat for many years, so he has also witnessed many shipments of official salt over the years, and he is familiar with this matter.
According to him, the official salt transported this time was particularly heavy, and it was very pressing, and there was one more ship than in previous years.
However, he didn't have a way to understand the inside story of these officialdoms, at most he left an impression in his heart, so it happened to be Xiao Heng who learned the news.
Xiao Heng had a simple mind, but this incident made him really dare not miss any possible clues.
So Xiao Heng used some connections to track down this inconspicuous clue, probably because the sky was endless, and it really made him find out the ugly man, which completely stunned Xiao Heng.
Gangnam Province has been extremely rich in materials since ancient times, with food and money, so although it is not a military fortress, there are many garrisons.
And this time, the official salt to be transported into Beijing was packed with private goods, not to say a special product to bring to the family, nor to say a treasure to make connections. What is entrained in it is that the newly developed weapons also have a large number of gold bars, and it can be said that whoever can get these things will be able to dominate one side.
No matter how low Xiao Heng's political consciousness is, he also realizes that these things are good helpers for rebellion. So he pursued it more cautiously, but unfortunately, no matter how much he used his connections, he couldn't get more useful information.
Ling Yao can understand this situation very well, and if she investigates it again, she should be at the heart of this matter, and if you know about it, the possibility of leaking the news is small, so it is normal to not find it, if you find it, you should worry about whether you have received misguided fake news.
Combined with part of the previous martial arts fight in Sandao, Ling Yao vaguely guessed something, but she still had to work hard to find out all this, and even said that she wanted to directly respond to the people of Sandao, but this time was really not enough, which made Ling Yao a little distressed.
In addition, before Xiao Heng abandoned the stall and ran away, Ling Yao also asked about the complete transaction content of Miao Kongkong, whether he really wanted to kill Yu Sandao.
Xiao Heng is a little ambiguous, according to the content of the agreement, he actually needs to let the Salt Gang give up the batch of official salt, but combined with Ke Zheng's selfish intentions, it should be like taking advantage of the situation to kill Yu Sandao, so when the final business is finalized, it is very subtle, Miao Kongkong wants Qixinglou to take back the official salt from Yu Sandao.
In fact, in this way, this task is not about buying murder, but mainly about overlooking goods.
After figuring out this, Ling Yao was a little more distressed, it was much easier to kill people than to deal with things, this was really a troublesome task.
Ling Yao couldn't help but sigh a little when she thought about it, and after thinking about it for a while, Ling Yao felt that she really had a headache, and she couldn't do anything in the blue sky and daylight, so she decided to relax.
Ling Yao squinted, leaned back at the pillars of the pavilion, and raised her eyes to look at the clouds in the sky.
Probably because his heart was calm, he didn't feel that there was so much noise around him, and Ling Yao felt very comfortable with the breeze blowing on his face.
"Girl, girl!"
A crisp voice aroused Ling Yao's attention.
Ling Yao turned her head to look at a little girl dressed as a maid beside her, looked at her casually and did not speak.
"Girl, when my lord saw that the girl was here alone, he sent a maidservant to ask her if she had been separated from her family. If you are separated, my lord can help the girl find someone, and my lord is very familiar with this area, so the girl doesn't have to worry. ”
When the little maid in the pink dress saw Ling Yao looking at her, she kept pouring beans into a bamboo tube for a moment.
"Not really."
Ling Yao looked at the little maid with a faint expression, and slowly said two words, and the next second Ling Yao was about to close her eyes again.
"That being the case, my lord also said, if the girl is alone, the scenery is inevitably a little boring, you might as well go over and sit together, and drink a cup of tea, if the girl likes peach blossoms, it is also good to have a cup of peach blossoms."
I don't know if this little Yahuang can't look at the eyes, or pretends not to understand the eyes, but now she just blindly invites Ling Yao to sit with her.
Ling Yao couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when she was disturbed by being pestered and talking like this, but she was not a person who was prone to anger, she just planned to stay away from this noisy little girl, so she got up and wanted to silently walk out of this unclean place.
Seeing that Ling Yao didn't say anything, the little maid got up and left, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and wanted to reach out to stop but felt that it was unreasonable, so she had to look at the master in her mouth for help.
"Girl, stay."
Ling Yao had only walked out a few steps before a deep voice reached Ling Yao's ears.
The person who spoke had a bit of internal force in his voice, and this voice was thick and solid enough to wrap Ling Yao's ears tightly, and Ling Yao couldn't help but stop and look back.
I saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting at the stone table under the tree not far behind him.
The man had a swarthy face, a beard, a high nose, slender eyes, and most obviously three old scars on his face.
Looking at the image of this person, Ling Yao couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, could this person be Yu Sandao?
If it was really Yu Sandao, Ling Yao narrowed his eyes.
It's good to have such an opportunity, but ...... This was not a suitable opportunity to approach him, at least in such a noisy environment, to approach a person who could not be unguarded no matter how he looked at it, Ling Yao should not be able to get the information he wanted.
So Ling Yao only slightly stayed on this person for a few seconds, and then continued to turn his head and leave, his steps were still as calm as before, and this person did not call Ling Yao to stop again.
In the short encounter at Hongzen Temple, no one knows how things will develop.
And now, Ling Yao has also put her heart away from this matter first, after all, she is about to join the big team. That group of people was a bit of a human spirit, and Ling Yao didn't want to be seen by others that there was anything wrong with her emotions, especially after knowing the complexity of this mission, Ling Yao didn't want something uncontrollable to happen again.
Ling Yao followed her memory to find the peach forest, in fact, even if she didn't know the way, then she could follow the direction of the crowd, she could walk steadily to the peach forest.
"As it happens, we're going to look for you too."
Xie Jue's thoughts about appreciating flowers became weaker and weaker, without Ling Yao's company, no matter how beautiful the peach blossom scene was, it couldn't attract Xie Jue's attention more. So, he ended his flower-viewing trip early and stood on the edge of the peach forest.
"Hmm."
Ling Yao smiled lightly, walked towards Xie Jue in the flying peach blossoms, and naturally took Xie Jue's outstretched hand.
