At night, everything is silent, and the night in the flower city is especially quiet. Jiang Feng, Wei Hongye, and Shen Qingyi, who were tired of a day's work, meditated separately. Jiang Feng suddenly felt the formation touch and knew that someone was coming.

After finishing his work, he got up, and saw that it was Mei Jiu and the Yuan Ying beside him coming over, so he opened the door and greeted him.

It's not that he respects the two of them so much, it's that he doesn't want to alarm Wei Hongye and Shen Qingyi, who are cultivating in the rooms on both sides.

"Come here at night, you two will teach me something, please come in."

The formation arranged by Jiang Feng only serves as an early warning, and he has to deal with the rest by himself.

Mei Jiu and the others both bowed down and behaved extremely respectfully.

"Young Master Qinglian, there are many people in the daytime, and I dare not say anything. So I came here at night to tell my son everything. If Childe has any other questions, as long as we know it, we will tell them all. ”

"The two of you are so honest and admit your feelings! Two, please speak in the room. ”

Sitting down in the room, Mei Jiu asked in a low voice, "Have you heard of Plum Blossom Villa?" ”

"Of course I did! Plum Blossom Villa is proud of the surrounding tens of thousands of miles, comparable to the strength of the third-rate sect, especially the people of Plum Blossom Villa, they are all noble and proud, which is even more admirable.

There is no gate faction near here, so many things are presided over by Plum Blossom Villa.

Mei Jiu, when you mentioned Plum Blossom Villa, it couldn't be that the matter here has something to do with them, or was it their handiwork? ”

Mei Jiu and that Yuan Ying stood up and hugged their fists at Jiang Feng: "Thank you Qinglian Gongzi for your praise, Mei Jiu (Mei Han) thanked Qinglian Gongzi for Meihua Villa." ”

"You belong to Plum Blossom Villa? But why is this the case? ”

"Childe doesn't know, this situation has only started in the last six months.

Originally, I was a disciple of the side branch of Plum Blossom Villa, and I worked hard to get the position of the lord of the city. We also attach great importance to this opportunity, and we have worked hard to achieve small results, the people are rich, the business is prosperous, and the income naturally increases.

However, in the past six months, there has been an order from the mountain villa that we need to contribute a thousand times or even ten thousand times the original resources, and we are overwhelmed, so we have to strengthen taxes. ”

Jiang Feng's mind was in a hurry, and he wanted to analyze something from this limited information.

"Is something happening at Plum Blossom Villa?"

"We don't know the specific situation, it's the people of the main lineage who give the order, and it represents the orthodoxy of the family, and we don't allow us to know too many things."

"So what big forces are emerging around here?"

"I haven't heard of it, but in recent years, there have always been cases of businessmen being robbed and families being wiped out. But near the Plum Blossom Villa, there has been no major incident, perhaps because they are afraid of the strength of the Plum Blossom Villa and dare not act rashly. ”

Is that really the case? Jiang Feng fell into deep thought. The mysterious organization has never had an eyebrow, is it that they are deeply hidden, or do they have another identity on the surface?

Plum Blossom Villa has an excellent reputation, clean and self-disciplined, and iron-clad, so it stands to reason that it has nothing to do with these bandits, but how to explain the matter of Huacheng? Is it a struggle for power within the family, or is there another reason?

For a short time, Jiang Feng was a little confused, is there no one in this world who can be trusted? Everyone is fighting for power and profit, and they are devouring the weak? Where is the fairness and justice? Where is the folk customs of Tianli?

Fortunately, I still have red leaves, and Tsing Yi is with me; There are also confidants like Hucheng Gongzi, and close friends like Sun Zhongyue. Otherwise, I really have to wonder what the purpose of cultivation is, just to live a long time, to oppress others?

"Mei Jiu, who is the person who gave you the order?"

"It's the eldest son's person, that is, Mei Wenxue, who is known as the plum blossom boy."

"Then do you know about Mei asking snow? Tell me about it. ”

"The eldest prince is personable, dashing, polite, and likes to make friends. The cultivation is also very high, it should be the peak of Yuanying, and it is the heir of the most popular Plum Blossom Villa. Although there are many sons in the main lineage, only he is called the plum blossom son, which can know his status in everyone's minds. ”

"How could such a man with such a bright future and an extremely good man himself give such an order? Doesn't he know the consequences? ”

Mei Jiu was a little embarrassed and said: "Although the eldest prince is gentle and elegant, and he is also very good to the subordinates in the family, he has always been high, sitting in the clouds and looking down on all beings, and he doesn't know these things at the bottom. ”

"I see! This can explain part of it. I only wish for a clear breeze and a bright moon, and I don't want to mess with the red dust, but it is in line with his background and status.

So how often do you hand over resources, and how do you do it? ”

"Every month they send someone to pick it up, and they don't let us know where it's going and what it's for. In four or five days, their people will arrive. If Childe wants to know more about it, just wait. ”

After chatting for a while, Mei Jiu and the others said goodbye.

In the next few days, Jiang Feng and the three of them still served food, and the number of people also increased several times. Many families who still have surplus food also come here. Even if Jiang Feng knew, he didn't pick up people. In total, it has only been a few days, Mei Jiu has not collected taxes in the past few days, the situation has improved, as long as it lasts for a few more days, everyone can rely on their own labor to support their families.

Through communicating with Mei Jiu again, Mei Jiu sent Qinglian Gongzi to Huacheng, as well as Jiang Feng's practice, and informed Meihua Gongzi. Then wait for the reaction of the plum boy, and the others don't care anymore.

In just three days, a large team of personnel came to Huacheng, a handsome boy sat on the monster car, the carriage was very large, and more than a dozen maids waited, swaggering through the city and entering the city lord's mansion.

It's not just intentional or natural, anyway, the image of the plum boy this time is very different from the legend.

All this fell in Jiang Feng's eyes, except for more doubts, it didn't play a good role. What is the purpose of Plum Boy's this? Is it to confuse yourself, or to confuse others, or to have it all?

No matter what his purpose was, Jiang Feng felt that things were getting more and more interesting. Mei Wenxue came out like this, no matter who he wanted to confuse, he already knew that he was pretending, and he already had a different mind.

It stands to reason that Plum Boy is so famous, how can he do such an unreliable thing? Is it really a lack of intelligence, or is it an ulterior motive? A very simple performance stumped Jiang Feng and made it difficult to make a correct judgment.

This plum blossom boy, is he extremely smart, or is it just on the surface, legends and sights, what should I believe in? Or are both his disguises?

Wait and see what happens.
