The wind was blowing gently, and the willows were swaying in the wind.

Pear blossom mist, green water swim.

Xie Tianhu was experienced in martial arts. He knew that he was in front of the Peach Blossom Forest, where the men had died. He chose the right path instead of seeking justice and rushed to the Peach Blossom Street inn.

It was no wonder that he had just stepped into the rain season when news of his daughter's death reached him. However, his daughter had made a mistake in Jiangnan. How could he not be anxious?

The crimson rabbit's red metallic hoof stomped on the bluestone pavement, producing a metallic clanging sound.

As they neared the market, more and more people appeared on the street. Seeing that some of them were coming in a hurry, they hurriedly moved aside and looked at each other, commenting, "But it can't be that Master Guan is here, right?"

"Shh, lower your voice. If you anger the emperor, you'll lose your mind!

The Peach Blossom Street was five miles east of the Peach Blossom Forest. Although the weather was not good, there were still many pedestrians on the street. There were people holding umbrellas, going to market, shouting for donkeys, and eating snacks from the north and south. Most of the pedestrians in the rain were tourists, but there was no lack of merchants, scholars, and literati.

The Peach Blossom Inn, the old inn, was said to have been built around the time of Ming dynasty, and now there are two of them. One is a shop on the south side street, smaller and older, with a reputation for wine making skills far and near. The excellent wine and the sweet aroma of the wine won't stop drinking and will be taken care of by the shopkeeper and his son, Peaches. The other is a rather wide shop on the north side street. The guest rooms were quite comfortable. They were equipped with hot springs, peach blossoms baths, and kabuki dances. The shopkeeper was the daughter of the peach orchard, peach blossoms and red flowers. Because of the peach orchard, peaches and peach red did not come into contact, it was said that because peach red did not want to marry and have a falling out.

Just like this, the two Peach Blossom Inn each had their own unique features. They each had their own business and source of guests. Basically, they monopolized the travel business on Peach Blossom Street.

Xie Tianhu rode on his Scarlet Rabbit on the Peach Blossom Street and charged forward. He kicked away the hawker's burden, knocked over the passerby's basket, and bumped into the traveler's carriage. That was to be expected. No one dared to say anything because they were afraid that Xie Tianhu would have a pair of bright hooks on his back with a tiger's head on the handle. This was Xie Tianhu's personal symbol. Who didn't know the famous Xie Tianhu of Jiangnan's Absolute Two Hook? While wearing the red Ruyi Robes and a red pair of divinities, the Crimson Bunny was actually the owner of the Free and Unrestrained Villa in Jiangnan, Xie Tianhu. He was a character that could charge through any street in Jiangnan.

At dusk, his vision was not very good. His speed was too fast, and the signboard of the Peach Blossom Inn inn was too small. He actually rushed over, and shouted loudly, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! " A passerby.

All of a sudden, a fine horse, mounted by a lady, dashed across the street at an incredible speed. The man on the horse shouted, "Master!"

Xie Tianhu halted his horse and asked, "Little Wen, where's Miss?"

"Miss … "Miss …" She couldn't answer, and the horse's men also tightened their reins. It was Little Wen. She had been searching the Peach Blossom Street for a long time, but there was no news of Miss. Now that she saw the owner of the house, she could not help but feel scared. She said nervously, "Miss … It's gone! "

"Where?" Xie Tianhu asked.

Xiao Wen's expression was terrified as she said seriously, "I saw that monk in the Peach Blossom Forest. The scholar, the swordsman disappeared after meeting the sovereign!" She was so anxious that she forgot to mention that swordsman, the monk, and the scholar were the same person.

Xie Tianhu was taken aback. "The assassin, the swordsman, is also in the Peach Blossom Forest?" Monk, scholar? Did they kill the young lady? " He knew about swordsmen meeting the sovereign, but he did not know much about monks and scholars. Now, they even thought that the three of them had killed their young miss Xie Tingting?

"No, it's a scholar. He told the swordsman to send the young lady away in anger!" Little Wen added.

Xie Tianhu's expression changed immediately. "What a great swordsman! To think he doesn't put me in his eyes!" He turned to Little Wen and said, "Send me a message immediately, call the second killer, Xiao Yao, here!"

Xie Tianhu rode his horse along the northern side of the street. At the intersection of three different streets, there was a large banner hanging from the eaves of a large inn. The sound of wine being blown could be heard. On the yellow wine flag, there was a bright pink peach blossom. On the bottom of the flag, there was a sign: Peach Blossom Inn, Second Shop. Under the eaves, a row of red lanterns swayed left and right due to the wind.

Xie Tianhu dismounted from his horse and looked around the two story inn. It was quite a grand sight in the grey sky. He was sure that his daughter was here!

A waiter came out to receive them. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Uncle, please drink and stay in the inn!" He led the rabbit around to the back of the house.

Inside the main hall of the Peach Blossom Inn, the candlelight shone brightly and the guests were as numerous as the clouds. More than ten waiters and birds were flying about. When Xie Tianhu walked in, there were actually empty seats.

He did not walk towards his seat, but approached the counter and said, "Innkeeper, I am …"

Without waiting for him to finish his title.

"Hey, hey …" "Hey …" A head popped out from under the counter, a girl's head, eleven to twelve years old, a childish voice interrupted Xie Tianhu's words, "Customer, I, am not the first. Secondly, it doesn't matter if you eat or stay at the restaurant, there is no need to register. The inn is very simple, as long as you have money, it's fine. " This was the shopkeeper's daughter, but in the outside world, she was the storekeeper's little sister. A child who grew up in an inn was extremely sensitive to silver.

Originally, Xie Tianhu had wanted to reveal his Jianghu name and ask about the whereabouts of his daughter, Xie Tingting, in the Peach Blossom Inn. Yet now, she was forcefully swallowed back her words by a little girl.

"Pa!" A palm struck the counter and said, "I have some silver taels. I'm not interested in staying at a restaurant, so I don't want to eat." "I …" He also replied in this tone, but just as he was about to express his intention to come here …

"Customer, don't be angry! Don't go against a child! " Another woman's voice came from behind the counter. It was a woman in her thirties. She had an oval face and a picturesque face. Despite not wearing makeup, she had the grace and grace of a noble. As she walked in, a peach blossom stuck in her black bun caught Xie Tianhu's eye. "So you're the owner of this Peach Blossom Inn, Peach Blossom Red?

The woman had a beautiful smile on her face. The lines at the corner of her eyes also seemed to be smiling. She said: "Yes, that's me. Please tell me what you want." The moment the Peach Blossom Red Manager appeared, the little girl immediately left.

Peach Blossom Red was the manager of Peach Blossom Inn. Despite being over thirty years old, she was still single. She was special. She was the kind of single person who would have a daughter before marriage. Relying on the ancestral family's Peach Blossom Inn, in addition to her pleasant name, she was extremely 'heroic' and 'heroic' to the extreme. Thus, her business was quite good. She was also very famous. It was just that she had grown up in Suzhou City, but not in the city. Many of the guests in the restaurant had come due to admiration, and her beauty was also well-known. This would cause many men to have ideas on her.

Xie Tianhu surveyed his surroundings before taking out a silver ingot and placing it on the counter. "I have something to ask for."

He was a merchant, not a killer, and normally, he would not show off his skills. Besides, the Peach Blossom Inn was huge, so it was hard to avoid experts coming to the inn. If his daughter was in trouble here, it was still uncertain whether she would live or die. After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he still chose to ask for directions with money.

"Hehe, this guest is really funny. Everyone who comes to my restaurant has a request for me!" Peach Blossom Red gently stretched out her slender jade-like fingers and placed them on the silver coin. "Money, what a great item!"

As they talked, Xie Tianhu's eyes flashed. He had been running amok for thirty years, so of course he understood their intentions. "Add another hundred taels!" He held out a finger. He was determined to win.

Peach Blossom Red really knew how to do business. Without even speaking, she had already raised the price. The instant Xie Tianhu's eyes flashed, she understood that he had something important to ask of her. A tael of silver was equivalent to 300 yuan today (2011).
