Chapter 77

But gradually, under the nagging of his parents, Wang Heng also questioned the relationship between himself and Xu Zihan.

Wang Heng's parents felt that Xu Zihan was holding on to her son in order to have a good future, and she was a slut in her bones, just like her shameless, always hooking up with those dignitaries It's not a good thing like the mother I took!

After hearing this kind of words too many times, coupled with Xu Zihan's desperate behavior of trying to catch him, and his frequent visits to the city, which made him embarrassed many times, this kind of relationship has become dull.

Later, when I accompanied my mother to the temple to offer incense, I met Wang Ting, who was dignified and graceful. The two fell in love at first sight, and met again at the night market on the Lantern Festival. In the end, he became a scholar when he was young, and the two established a relationship.

Obviously, Wang Heng likes this kind of indifferent, reserved woman, like Xu Zihan. He thinks that he is attracted by "beauty" because he was young.

Therefore, he cared very much and even spurned his former self, as well as Xu Zihan who had become a stain on his past.

In fact, although Wang Heng was the trigger for Xu Zihan's death in the end, the main reason was that Xu Zihan could not bear the blow of coming out of her childhood dream. Her death was more like a kind of blow to her former self. It’s just farewell and despair for the present.

Xu Zihan is a poor woman, she lives in the past, living in the dream she made up and cannot extricate herself.

Judging from the current Xu Zihan, the former Xu Zihan definitely didn't want to have anything to do with the current Wang Heng, and she might even hate this man who pulled her out of her dream in the most cruel and direct way.

Although the guise of revenge would make Xu Zihan's actions smoother, but considering the original owner, Xu Zihan still chose another path.

This era has begun to consciously oppress women, and the constraints on women are becoming more and more serious. Although there are still women's households in this era, the fact that women are the masters of the house will still be criticized by some people.

It's okay to live in peace and contentment in this kind of village, but if you leave this village and go outside, life will definitely not be easy.

And Xu Zihan chose the road - the river transport.

The city where Xu Zihan lives is close to a river. The river is very wide. Except for a few times and a few places, the water in this river is still very fast. Except for some old boatmen, few people do business on the boat.

Therefore, there is still a lot of room for development in shipping.

Now that he has made up his mind to do shipping, the first thing Xu Zihan has to do is to rob!
Shipping this kind of thing was a bit difficult at the beginning, from building a fleet to attracting customers, and then robbing those who saw the benefits and wanted to get a share of the profits.

Xu Zihan's method is very sophisticated, she does not allow any voice of resistance, once someone resists her, she will directly tie the other party into a shrimp shape, and throw it into the river together with a big stone.

So soon, Xu Zihan got a new nickname on the shipping side - River Ghost.

The name of the river ghost was born out of the water ghost, the kind of ghost that dies in the river and likes to drag the living into the river to drown. After hearing this, Xu Zihan felt that the name was very appropriate.

In addition to the difficulties at the beginning, Xu Zihan's river transportation soon became regular, and he established a well-managed gang - the River God Gang.

There is a rule of the River God Gang, that is, on a fixed day every year, when the River God needs to be sacrificed, Xu Zihan will lead his brothers to personally present generous gifts to the River God.

Some people think that Xu Zihan is a person who believes in ghosts and gods, but in fact only Xu Zihan knows that what she believes in is only herself.

Fast forward seven years, and the River God Gang is almost the best gang in this area. Even the imperial court has heard about it, and has sent people to communicate with the River God Gang.

These people came here just to get a share of the action, but in the end they all drowned in the process of going back.

Even if they didn't take the water, they still couldn't escape the fate of drowning. The most bizarre one was drowned in the bathtub of the inn.

Since many people died, there have been rumors slowly outside, saying that the River God Gang is a gang favored by the River God, and anyone who harms them will be executed by the River God, and then their souls will be nailed to the River God Gang. Below the boat, you can never be free.

At the beginning, no one believed this rumor, and even the court believed that these people were killed by members of the River God Gang, and even sent soldiers to kill them, and directly beat them into the gang.

But before these soldiers reached the river where the boats of the River God Gang were located, the boats were damaged and died in a storm.

Because it was related to natural disasters, the rumors became more and more mysterious, and finally even the imperial court let the River God Gang go.

After all, the River God Gang also has a lot of annual tax money, doesn't it?
It's just that there is a lack of offerings. Anyway, the court is not at a disadvantage. For this river god gang who can't figure out the root, it's better to live in peace than to fight head-to-head.

As for the leader of the River God Gang, with the name of the river ghost, there are even more legends about her.

It is well known that the leader of the River God Gang is a woman, but there are many rumors about her, even to the point that it is a bit outrageous.

Some people say that the river ghost is ugly, with a pockmarked face, a crooked nose and a slanted mouth. It is a fierce ghost in the river, and its favorite is a strong and strong man among human beings.

Others say that the river ghost is a very beautiful woman. They said that she was originally a lady of the family, but she was sacrificed to the river god and became the wife of the river god. Although she has left the river god, the river god still loves her very much. .

Some people also say that the river ghost was originally an opera singer, but because the imperial court prohibited women from singing operas, she committed suicide by jumping into the river, and then became a river god herself.

…………

These rumors are numerous, but there is one thing in common, that is, these people all believe that the river ghost is not a living person.

…………

No matter how the noise from outsiders becomes, the River God Gang is still the same River God Gang, and because of the relationship with the River God Gang, merchants are willing to consign their goods to the very reputable River God Gang. It greatly stimulated the circulation of goods in this city, and at the same time gradually made this city, which had no lucrative income, rich.
