Chapter 6 The Guillotine Case

Su Huan, who was bringing the dishes to his small courtyard, heard some movement, turned his head and saw two people.

"What about eating?" Bai Yuanyuan walked briskly with her hands behind her back.

Ask knowingly.

"Yeah!" Su Huan replied.

"Then..." I was a little embarrassed to speak.

"Go into the room and move a chair out." Su Huan had just finished speaking when he saw Xiaoyi rushing out with two chairs.

"Well, we two brothers are here to see if you have improved your cooking skills today." Bai Yuanyuan and Xiaoyi looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

This excuse is too lame.

"Then these two young masters, sit down!" Su Huan did not expose them.

"Hee hee!" Bai Yuanyuan and Xiaoyi nearly lost their eyes laughing, and pulled out two large bowls of white rice from behind as if by magic.

"Wow, what is this?"

"Braised ribs."

"Wow, what a coincidence, my favorite food is braised pork ribs. I just don't know how your braised pork ribs compare with ours. I must try it."

"What are these three?"

"roast chicken!"

"Then I'll try it too."

"It's just for you."

"Whee!"

After opening the tinfoil, the rich aroma came out, and the hot breath came out.

"what's your name?"

"Su Huan."

"You are so good at cooking, why do you stay at Bai's house? There is no place in the world where you can't go."

"I like Miss Bai's family!!!"

Bai Yuanyuan only felt her head buzzing and her heart was hit.

Xiaoyi kicked Bai Yuanyuan who was in a daze, and then she came to her senses.

"What do you like about my sister?"

"Is she your sister?"

"That's right, the academy is on vacation, and I just came back from Kyoto." Bai Yuanyuan ate roast chicken. "I heard that the family picked up a scholar, so I came to see it."

"By the way, what do you like about my sister? Have you seen her? Do you think she's pretty?"

Xiaoyi kicked Bai Yuanyuan again under the table.

Su Huan was dumbfounded by the question, throwing out so many questions at once.

"Cough cough~."

"Eat and eat!"

"Brother, take us out of the house to play later, my mother wants me to review my homework, I can't go out by myself."

"Well, I'm actually not very familiar with Lin'an County."

"I know you well. I'll take you to Fugui Street. Fugui Street is really fun."

After dinner, Su Huan took the two girls out of the house.

In Bai Yuanyuan's room, Mother Bai was worried and came again, and the little maid standing in front of the door saluted. "Ma'am, Miss said she was asleep, don't be disturbed."

"Okay, then let the girl rest, and tell the family not to disturb anyone until she wakes up." Bai Mama looked back and left.

"Yes."

After taking only two steps, a maid trotted over. "Madam, Su Huan has left the house and we can't find him."

"Then let's talk to him when he comes back, and say that you can give another 50 taels of silver in secret, and apologize for me by the way."

"Yes, ma'am."

……

On Fugui Street, many people surrounded Manfenglou.

"I heard there's a new song coming out?"

"Who made it up? Could it be that the actor himself made it up? That's so ugly."

"No, no, I heard that I bought this song. It's called "The Beauty Case".

"There's still an hour until the broadcast begins."

"The Red Martial Arts Troupe hasn't released a new song for many years, has it been eight years?"

"Yes, there are only two or three songs back and forth, and their singing skills are still good. I have to go and see how this beautiful case is."

"My cousin can't tell, let me see how it goes first." A nobleman carrying a fan walked into Manfenglou with a smile.

The consumption of Manfenglou is relatively high, with half a tael of silver per capita. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would not go there.

Less than half an hour before the opening of the guillotine case, Manfeng Tower was already nearly full, with double the usual passenger flow, but still not full.

The publicity of Manfenglou and Hongwu Opera troupe is still doing well.

Bai Daqian and the magistrate of the county had dinner at Manfenglou. The magistrate of Lin'an liked opera very much. Hearing that a new opera was going to be released today, everyone specially came to Manfenglou.

Backstage.

Zhou Man, an actor, is also the leader of the Red Martial Arts Troupe.

"Xiao Ling, look at you, the collar is turned up." Zhou Man, who was all in costume, walked around in the team.

"Akun, you play Bao Zheng, you have less fans, so you can play more."

Zhou Man rubbed the sweat from his palms. "Everyone pay attention today, have you memorized the lines by heart?"

After more than ten years of professional career, Zhou Man is still a bit uncertain. In his opinion, the script is quite good, but I don’t know what the judges think. Everyone who creates art will be like this, no matter how many years they have been in the industry. As a career, I dare not guarantee whether the work is popular in the market.

The boss of Manfenglou walked in. "The county magistrate and the county magistrate are here."

"understood."

The boss of Manfenglou walked out.

"Everyone has heard it, and the county magistrate has also come. Take it easy, don't be nervous, and don't lose the chain."

After a while, a boy in a costume ran in. "Master, it's your hour."

"Opening!"

The sound of firecrackers in Manfenglou, followed by the sound of gongs and drums.

A few scholars sat together, drinking some wine. "I don't know which scholar wrote the script. For a mere few taels of money, I even lost my strength of character. I really feel ashamed to wait."

"It's probably the poor people in the countryside. They can't read well, so they can only go to these crooked ways. I will never admit these ignorant people."

"That is, a scholar should drink wine and write poems, talk about the past and the present, be a noble person, be confused by mere yellow and white things, and not be an official of the people's parents."

The drama is going on.

"Look, what is written, the face of the parent officer is so black, as if he just crawled out of the mud, how can a person with such a face be a parent officer, it is clearly the makeup of a farmer."

"It's really insulting. The author of this script has no common sense at all."

"That's it."

On the other side, the fair and clean county magistrate was watching seriously.

The county magistrate was also watching carefully.

The county magistrate shook his legs and sat aside.

"The plaintiff, Qin's Xianglian, was 32 years old and sued Chen Shimei, the son-in-law of the dynasty, for killing his wife and heirs..."

The county magistrate shook his legs and suddenly said: "Why is this Prime Minister's face so dark? Does the person who wrote the script have any common sense?"

The magistrate beside him frowned slightly. "This is Bao Zheng from An Chao!"

"Who is Bao Zheng?" The county magistrate was confused.

"Shut up and watch the show." Xiancheng kicked his son under the table.

The plot continued to progress. When they saw Chen Shimei relying on his status as consort, making strong arguments and even calling Bao Zheng a gangster, everyone wanted to rush to the stage and push Chen Shimei's actor to the ground.

The plot came to an end temporarily, and several indignant scholars in the entire restaurant actually grabbed a handful of melon seeds and threw them on the stage.

"You dog thief, if I were an official, I would definitely chop your body into thousands of pieces."

"So rampant, what is the law of the country?"

"Those who hold power should seek the well-being of the people. How can they bully others like this." Several scholars yelled from the side, and when the county magistrate looked over from afar, they puffed out their chests even more proudly.

The yelling of several scholars caught the attention of many people, and the county magistrate also had a little impression of these people.

The second and third scenes started. When the emperor's aunt and the emperor arrived and put pressure on Bao Zheng, many spectators were nervous for Bao Zheng, fearing that he would not be fair.

The drama has come to an end.

On the stage.

Bao Zheng: I won't be an official if I fight hard, I will bear the catastrophe... See you Longyan after killing this wicked thief.

... Following the opening of the guillotine, Chen Shimei was beheaded, and the audience in the restaurant cheered. Several scholars shouted excitedly, trying to attract the county magistrate's attention again.

At this moment, the county magistrate stood up, smiled and applauded, and ignored the others. "Being an official like this, what can I ask for?" "I don't know which great Confucianist wrote this script, but he has studied the old affairs of the An Dynasty."
