(One)

The next day, the adapted version of "Marian" achieved an unexpected response.

Whenever drama is mentioned in the entire Wangcheng, the newly adapted "Marian" must be singled out and discussed.

It's just that the vast majority of people angrily criticized this show as very immoral and bloody and novelty-seeking!

Moreover, the most vigilant point is that...

They believe that there is an extremely dangerous idea in the plot: inciting women to kill.

For this reason, many men could not help complaining at home: "... just because of a small conflict in love between a man and a woman, it will hurt people's lives. The plot of this "Marian" is too unreasonable."

"Is it true that a man just doesn't want to love a woman anymore, so he has to pay the price of his life for it?"

"How can there be such an unreasonable woman?"

"Normally speaking, if a man doesn't love her anymore, shouldn't she reflect on herself first? She actually wants to kill someone?"

"My God! Didn't her female elders ever teach her the virtues of womanhood?"

"Chastity, hard work, obedience, silence... where have all these virtues been learned!"

Forget about the nonsense feminine virtues.

Such a statement is obviously a sneaky change of concept.

They directly summed up the misery of "Marian being cheated and abandoned" as "no love anymore".

It seems that the tragedy of a young girl is just an ordinary love entanglement.

It makes people angry when they hear it!

But if you want to argue, it seems that you must first explain the difference between the two with them.

But wait until it's hard to make it clear.

If the other party does not agree with life and death, in the end, it will be a waste of effort.

Therefore, whenever this time...

Some smart women often don't argue with them forcefully, they only need to show a smile that is not a smile, and then pick up a pair of sharp cutting scissors and put them in the palm of their hands, in front of them. , after playing with it for a few seconds, he asked meaningfully: "Why, are you afraid?"

Usually shuts up disgruntled men immediately.

It was completely quiet in the room.

It is impossible to say that I am afraid!

Even if your legs are shaking, you must not give up easily!

However, I have to say that...

The appearance of the drama "Marian" has indeed relieved the little brothers of many romantic men from the busy work of running from house to house and running from house to house, and stayed at home and closed their business for several days.

Because it was not until they watched "Marian" that they really realized: "It turns out that women are not silent dolls? It turned out that when they got tired of playing and wanted to get a new one, they actually had to face their anger and hatred." .”

In addition, "It turns out that playboy is also a high-risk occupation. Once you can't get along with your lovers, you will face... one day when you fall asleep, your stomach will be quietly cut open by small scissors..."

Thinking of this, which playboy doesn't tremble!

In addition, Levine's death incident also inadvertently cast a layer of legend on the show.

The policemen in Wangcheng may be out of the need to keep abreast of current affairs, after raising the opinion that "some refugees may have murdered and robbed" at the scene...

Recently, they have released a new point of view that "maybe it is a revenge killing by a lover like Marianne".

For this reason, all the playboys in Wangcheng took action.

Out of precautions, they rarely took the initiative to help the police investigate all the women who had a relationship with Levin.

After all, when they thought about it: "Such a terrifying and cruel woman must be found! Otherwise... if I accidentally provoke her that day, wouldn't it be over?"

It's a pity that Levin really doesn't have much interest in men and women.

Although he also has the behavior of looking for flowers and asking willows, most of them belong to the interest relationship of money and money, and he has not developed long-term relationship with anyone.

Moreover, rather than spending time finding a few more lovers...

He clearly prefers to focus on his career.

Therefore, after checking and checking, no suspicious woman was found at all.

Levin's interpersonal relationship is extremely simple, and if he wants to ask his acquaintances, he doesn't know who to turn to.

Finally, some people who couldn't hold back their curiosity came to his brother-in-law Judian.

However, as the real behind-the-scenes planner of this murder case, Judian, in order to get rid of his own suspicions and keep himself out of the whole incident, he hoped that the rumors about Levin would spread more and be more exaggerated...

Therefore, after being asked, he quietly helped to contribute (made up) a lot of topics: "The play "Marian" is a bit weird. I was watching the play the day Levin was killed, and suddenly I couldn't watch it anymore. I went out, and it turned out..."

"You ask who he likes? I haven't heard him say what kind of woman he likes specifically, but his preferences are quite special."

"It was not easy to talk about it, but now..."

"Hey! In order to cooperate with the investigation and find the murderer as soon as possible, I have to mention a few words. Well, Levin usually prefers older women."

As soon as the latter paragraph was uttered, everyone said "Oh" again, and then recalled the wonderful joke of 'looking for a mother in a brothel'.

Suddenly, everyone suddenly realized:

Got it, Levine Oedipus!

After Levin died, he was criticized and persecuted again.

What's even more surprising is that...

Those unreliable policemen in Wangcheng really went to investigate (gossip) in this direction in order to cope with their errands.

They operated fiercely like a tiger and successfully discovered Baroness Webster.

An old woman who is over 50 years old this year, obviously has nothing to do with Levin!

But miraculously, he took his son and lived in his house, eating and using his, and there was no need to pay any fees.

What a strange thing!

The police immediately brought Baroness Webster over for questioning.

But unfortunately...

Due to Levine's very cautious personality, although he took in Baroness Webster's mother and son as witnesses to 'correct Jamie's true identity in the future', he did not tell the mother and son exactly what they were asked to do, and only lied to them in a grandiose manner He said that he was kind-hearted and willing to help orphans and widows.

Baroness Webster, therefore, knew nothing.

But wait until the police explain the cause and effect...

But the lady immediately became affectionate, pretending to be astonished, pressing the table with one hand, and stroking her chest with the other: "What are you talking about? Viscount Levin has such shameful and nasty thoughts about me!"

Policemen: ... It seems that we didn't mention it, only the rumor that he likes older women.

However, Baroness Webster has already put herself into it, and sighed shyly: "Ah, no wonder he took such good care of me for no reason! It's really unexpected, but gods testify for me, I never took the initiative to talk to him Let me tell you a love story! I have been chaste and pure from beginning to end."

"What? Oh, you made me wonder if something special happened recently?"

"Well, it seems that there are so many..."

Baroness Webster seemed to know that this would be the rarest opportunity in her life to attract attention and show her face again.

Therefore, facing everyone's staring eyes, she has to put on a show all the more!

Immediately put on a weak and shivering look, thinking about it: "A few days ago, when I was taking a shower, I seemed to see a figure by the window; and the day before yesterday, my underwear was also lost. At that time, I just thought it was picked up by a wild cat, but now, thinking about it, thinking about it..."

Just when everyone was waiting to hear her "want to come"...

She wailed violently, and suddenly cried out: "God! He must have done it! How could he do such a shameful thing."

"I still think that Viscount Levin is a good person! How could he treat me like this? How will this make me behave in the future?"

"Woooooo, everyone will gossip about me from now on, thinking that I was raped by him! But I really haven't been raped by him, I'm not alive, I'm not alive!"

The policemen who came to investigate were speechless, and secretly complained in their hearts: "No one said anything, you said it all yourself."

What's more, even if there are rumors of 'Levin's Oedipus'...

Everyone really can't imagine that a good viscount will lose his mind and fall in love with such an old woman in her 50s who is also very good at brain and drama.

As for what underwear to steal, what to watch in the shower...

It really sounds like nonsense!

In short, after a conversation.

Apart from helping poor Levine create more funny jokes to entertain the dudes in the royal city, the police have nothing to gain.

But anyway.

When the scene of Marianne killing Simmons was playing in the theater, outside the theater, Levin died miserably in an alley not far away.

This is a fact.

People don't care what the specific truth is, and they have to connect the two just by imagination.

Therefore, superstitious people claim that "Marian" is a cursed play, and watching it will bring bad luck to people;

Moralists also accused the thoughts in "Marian" of being very evil and advocating murder. No wonder it caused bloodshed outside the theater.

These remarks have created huge obstacles for the subsequent performances of "Marian".

so that...

A few days later, when "Marian" was performed for the second time, a large, large number of opponents walked into the theater with malicious intentions.

This time there is no queen in charge.

Therefore, the situation suddenly became difficult to control.

The audience, who came purely to find fault, shouted and shouted off the stage uncooperatively from beginning to end.

Moreover, they booed and laughed wildly at the stage, and threw debris on the stage from time to time.

In such a noisy environment, it is difficult for the actors to hear each other even when they read their lines, let alone perform as devotedly and seriously as usual.

In the end, relying on their dedicated instincts, they barely finished all the plots, and then they were forced to end hastily.

But it's not all that audience.

It's just that the other part of the people who support this show and think it's a classic, didn't have any preparations in advance, and they were caught off guard. When they encountered such a thing, they were outnumbered for a while.

Later, Mrs. Helena received a large bag of letters from people who liked the play to encourage her.

These people sent letters asking her to continue acting.

They are full of praise for the adapted "Marian", and they also like the character of Marian very much, especially the happy ending.

In one of the letters, it even stated [I planned to die in a few days, but when I saw this ending, I actually regained the courage to live.Perhaps, I should try again, to see if I can be as strong as Marianne and find my own happiness] such scary but comforting words at the same time.

As a result, Mrs. Helena, who had suffered a slight setback because of the second performance, was greatly shocked.

She decided not to pay any attention to those who objected, but to continue acting only for those who love the play.

Jamie, of course, fully agreed, and said a lot of words of encouragement.

After comforting Mrs. Helena, he turned around to look for Macomb and George.

Before, because Levine had just been killed...

Although he had long wanted to share information about each other with the two of them, he was worried about being noticed, so he endured until today.

In the house, George was not seen.

Only Macomb was sitting at the table, writing something intently.

When he sensed someone coming in, he subconsciously covered it with his hand.

It wasn't until he found out that it was Jamie that he relaxed, raised his head and smiled mockingly: "Why do you have time to come here today?"

Jamie glanced casually across the paper on the table, and vaguely saw the words "North" and "Great Uprising".

But he pretended not to see it, and just said to himself: "It's not that I don't have time, it's just that Levin just died, the police are more or less going to put on a show, investigate, I'm afraid that when I come to you, I will be noticed It may be nothing to do with it, but it is better to be careful. Your side...how are you these few days?"

"Being careful is a good habit."

Malcolm nodded in agreement, and said, "Our side is doing well, and even Judian's spies have temporarily withdrawn. Such a guilty conscience, it can be seen that the murder case is probably related to him."

"It's not surprising. Dogs eat dogs." Jamie confirmed his guess and stopped paying attention to it.

He turned to ask again: "By the way, has your sponsor urged you to act these days?"

"No, there is no information at all. I actually began to doubt whether my action was meaningful."

Malcolm couldn't help laughing wryly: "Since you suggested last time that Lord Dressel could fake death, I tried to contact him again, but he didn't reply me that time. Later, I contacted again and got The reply is, wait for the news."

Jamie showed a not-so-surprised expression.

He thought to himself: "Well, it seems that we are all probably waiting for an opportunity."

"But George and I can't stay in Wangcheng forever."

Macomb sighed and said: "After all, we don't have a formal identity on the outside. It's been a long time and it's not safe. Let's just talk about the past few days, who..."

"Oh, yes, I remembered, the guy who was a treasurer in the prison, Levin, yes, his name is Levin. Once he died, the police took the opportunity to extort money everywhere..."

"Extortion?"

Jamie couldn't help being taken aback.

"What do you think? What a good excuse!"

As Malcolm spoke, he deliberately imitated the bad tone of the policemen: "Open the door, open the door, check! I think you look suspicious, tell me quickly, did you kill Viscount Levin?"

"Actually, they're not looking for a murderer at all..."

He spread his hands helplessly: "I'm just using this as an excuse to search for it. At this time, a sensible person must spend money wisely to eliminate the disaster, otherwise, he will definitely be taken away as a suspect, although he may not be convicted. , but it can be thrown into prison for a few days.”

Another inexplicable arrest and imprisonment!

These bastards!

Jamie was very annoyed.

But he knew that the world was like this, so he could only sigh along with Macomb.

Afterwards, Malcolm added: "So, if the time doesn't come, George and I may have to leave first."

After speaking, he was silent for a few more seconds, and asked slightly hesitantly, "You...do you still decide to stay here?"

After hearing this question...

Jamie sat on the chair and couldn't help leaning forward slightly, with his elbows resting on his legs and his chin resting on one hand. There was an unconcealable troubled expression on his beautiful face, making him look a bit pitiful.

Malcolm couldn't bear to push him any longer.

He silently changed the subject and asked, "Do you think that so-called opportunity can still come?"

"Maybe." Jamie was still thinking about Macomb's previous question, and answered a little absent-mindedly.

However, thinking about the task of Macomb and the others, he still sighed sincerely: "I still hope that I can meet a good time, at least so that you don't have to go in vain. Besides, 50...that's a lot money!"

It's been a few days since this happened.

Maybe it's because fate is helping.

The opportunity that Jamie and the others were waiting for soon appeared.

But it turns out that King Richard has found several new loves recently.

Queen Alisa had given up on him long ago and ignored it.

But Mrs. Laureys was very jealous and disturbed.

She has gradually noticed that the king is getting colder and colder, but she still wants to struggle unwillingly. In addition, she occasionally takes a self-portrait in the mirror. Although the person in the mirror is a little older, she is still beautiful and charming, and she has the courage to continue to fight for favor. .

Thinking of the days before, the king praised the queen for her charitable deeds.

She suddenly had a brilliant idea, and she planned to make some achievements too, so that King Richard would be impressed.

Thus, such a magical shop suddenly appeared in Wangcheng.

In this store, countless toys were transported from all directions, and then neatly placed on oversized shelves.

Soon, the shop opened for business.

Several people who were in charge of managing the shop stood up and told everyone that, under the order of Mrs. Lauris, the children should have a happy childhood.Therefore, starting today, civilian children are allowed to enter the store to enjoy the toys to their heart's content, regardless of time or status, but they are only allowed to look at them, not to touch them.

It's hard to describe what kind of charity this is.

But for Lauris, such a decision was made purely because there was no need to pay for any actual items. Relatively speaking, it was naturally cheaper.

Moreover, in her mind, those untouchable children have never seen exquisite toys in their entire lives.

Nowadays, giving them a chance to feast their eyes and get some satisfaction in their hearts, isn't this called charity?

Indeed, those commoner children have never seen such a beautiful and delicate toy in their lives.

Poverty was written on their little faces, and they wore ragged clothes. They walked carefully into the colorful toy store. Because they couldn't touch them, they had to tightly squeeze a pair of little hands together, or stick them on the toy store. Behind their backs, or tucked away in small patched pockets, they stood for hours in shops, looking longingly at dolls, pony carriages, music boxes...

There are also smaller children, crying and wanting to touch.

His older brothers and sisters could only pull and coax him desperately, telling him that just by looking at him like this, they should thank his wife for her kindness.

At this time, maybe a child from a noble family walked in.

The salesperson who was still indifferent just now would immediately go forward, and the children from the poor family would look at the child from the noble family helplessly, take a doll casually, and roughly tug the doll's hair; The beautiful little carriage was thrown aside without cherishing it; another thing that seemed to be a trumpet was grabbed, put it to his mouth, and blew it so that it whined!

It is very difficult for the children of the poor to see and touch.

But for the children of nobles, what needs to be considered is possession and acquisition.

This dire contrast...

The gap in status and the gap between the rich and the poor are well known to everyone, but the cruel society is more or less covered with a fig leaf, so it is caught off guard and nakedly displayed on the stage, or it is displayed on the stage of nothing. In front of the children who understand.

Grown-ups often succumb to this society long ago.

But children who know nothing don't know anything yet.

Many ignorant children began to cry and make a scene.

And when the impatient salesperson rushed over to stop him, because he couldn't restrain his temper, he slapped the child...

The situation suddenly became unmanageable.

That night, a group of people with sticks came out of nowhere and gathered together again.

Accompanied by a cry: 'Come on! '

The toy store was smashed to pieces in an instant, and it took less than 10 minutes in total.

Mrs. Laureys wept bitterly, complaining to King Richard.

However, the king was shocked by her stupid behavior.

He couldn't help asking again and again: "Madam, what do you think charity is? What do you think charity is? Do you think charity is really to help the poor?"

Mrs. Lauris looked at him with tears in her eyes, confused: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? My shop was smashed by those ungrateful pariahs, I..."

"Madam, although your brain may not understand what I'm talking about. But..."

King Richard said angrily: "But I must tell you that charity is the continuation of the rule, to appease the damn poor, to give them a bite to eat, so that they don't make a bunch of food because they are about to starve to death." Chaos, so obediently obey the management!"

"And your stupid behavior, apart from stirring up anger that they shouldn't have, making them stand up to disrupt order and cause trouble for me, there is no benefit at all!"

Mrs. Laureys looked at him blankly, as if she had no idea what he was talking about.

King Richard didn't bother to talk nonsense to her anymore, and turned around to leave.

Mrs. Laureys panicked now, and hurried to catch up with him, hugged him tightly from behind, and shouted: "Don't leave me!"

She cried, "I have done so many wrong things, and it was all because of you! This time, the reason why I use toys for charity is all out of a loving mother's heart. It's just because... Your Majesty, I have killed your child!"

King Richard was taken aback: "Child?"

Mrs. Laureys immediately said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I am pregnant."

King Richard turned around involuntarily, staring blankly at her slightly flat stomach at this time.

And Mrs. Lauris finally threw out such a heavyweight hole card. Although tears were still on her face, there was a hint of joy in her expression, and she pretended to have a gentle expression and said, "You are about to have a child." Ah, Your Majesty!"

King Richard's expression slowly eased.

Mrs. Laureys's heart suddenly settled down, and she thought that this child would definitely help her regain the favor of the king.

However, after about two or three days...

King Richard suddenly said to Mrs. Laureys: "Madam, do you see that Louis was born very well?"

Mrs. Lauris didn't understand why, but she still echoed her reply: "Return to Your Majesty, Louis is indeed very good-looking, even we women are sometimes jealous."

King Richard smiled slightly, and said softly and considerately, "Then shall I give him to be your husband? If a child is born without a surname, it would be a bit bad, don't you think?"
