[75] I treat you as a brother

After the first play was sung, most of the people in the theater left.

Liu Qing stretched and stood up, thinking she could finally leave.Unexpectedly, the two people at the same table, one peeling peanuts, while watching the other peeling, picked up and fed one to the other from time to time.

He looked blind.

Liu Qing: "..."

My suave and rebellious fifth brother, why does it seem like someone has bewitched him?

Unconsciously, he flicked their weapons again, just in time to see the pair of shoddy sword tassels.

Liu Qing: "???"

When he traveled abroad, he got a piece of high-quality jade. He spent a lot of money and entrusted a lot of talents to finally get the master to carve a pendant. He was very happy to take it to Bai Yutang as a treasure. But he declined his kindness on the grounds that he didn't like hanging things on the knife.

Liu Qing believed it was true, but didn't say anything, thinking about being brothers to each other, since he didn't like it, he didn't force it.

This time we met again after a long absence, he had actually seen something hanging on Bai Yutang's knife, but he didn't have the nerve to ask more because of face.

If he hadn't taken an extra look today, he would not have noticed that there was another one on Zhan Zhao's sword.

And this workmanship, this style, this material... must be made by one person!

The fifth brother didn't like the things he gave, so that's okay.But why should I accept his things?

The key point is that this thing is ugly and rotten, and it doesn't look worth much...

Liu Qing felt suffocated for a while, and couldn't help staring at Jiansui of the two of them a few more times.

Looking at it this way, it's incredible!He was so shocked that he almost knocked over the stool behind him.

The movement on his side caught the attention of the two people on the other side.Both of them cast questioning glances at him.

Zhan Zhao: "Do you still want to eat peanuts?"

Liu Qing: "...No, no."

He sat back with a heavy heart, and the problem of long nails in his buttocks seemed to be cured all at once.It's just that in the next few scenes, he didn't listen to whoever came on stage and what they sang.

All the evening performances were over, and all the guests left one by one.

The owner of the theater greeted everyone in the backstage, and left through the small door first.

After going out, he suddenly found three people waiting in front of him.

All three of them held weapons in their hands, two of them were imposing and personable, and the other one was a bit stronger with a fierce face.

If only the last person was waiting here today, the boss would probably think that he was robbed, but with the two people in front of him as companions, the boss's heart is inexplicably more at ease.

"Three... heroes, what's the point of visiting late at night?"

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly: "Boss Cai, don't be nervous, we just came here to ask you about someone."

In the residential area in the south of the city, in an old-fashioned building.

Cai Shao blew on the torch and lit up the lamps in the house one by one.

"The environment here is not good, don't blame the three young masters." Cai Shao rubbed his hands awkwardly, and said to the three, "Oh, please sit down."

"Excuse me." The three of them cupped their hands and found a place to sit down one by one.

Cai Shao opened the cups on the tea tray, lifted the kettle and shook it, and then poured three cups politely, regardless of the time of the water in it, and pushed them in front of everyone politely.

"With all due respect, why do you suddenly want to ask about Song Xin?" He glanced at the faces of the three of them one by one, and asked in confusion, "Do you have any relationship with Song Xin...or with the Song family?"

Zhan Zhao didn't play tricks with him, and took out his badge directly: "To tell the truth, Boss Cai, I am under the orders of my lord, and I am secretly investigating an old case from that year."

Cai Shao caught a glimpse of the words on the waist card, the muscles on his face tightened, and his body, which was not relaxing before, suddenly became straighter.

Zhan Zhao: "Boss Cai, don't panic, we won't make it difficult for you. We came to find you this time because of that play."

The reason why they didn't rush to ask for clues when they came here, but rushed into the theater to listen to the play, was because Zhan Zhao heard that this theater would add a "Legend of a Loyal Girl" every few days.The so-called loyal women should mostly describe the stories of those women who are loyal and righteous. However, there are always some places in the "Biography of Loyal Women" in this theater, which makes people uncomfortable to watch.

It seems that behind these loyalty and righteousness, there are some other stories hidden.

When Zhan Zhao and the others entered the city, they happened to hear that there would be a play in the theater today, so they exchanged glances with Bai Yutang and decided to go to the theater to see it in person.

The two took Liu Qing, concealed their aura, tried their best to blend in with the guests, and pretended to be a son-in-law who really only wanted to listen to the opera for entertainment. He listened to the opera, ate peanuts, and exchanged a few words In fact, he kept his ears open to listen to the gossip of the people around him.I want to find out some clues that I can't usually ask through these people.

But it's a pity, because Song Xin's case was too long apart, the two of them listened for a whole night, but they couldn't find any useful information. You Zhan Zhao revealed his identity and asked him directly.

Speaking of Song Xin, Cai Shao heaved a long sigh: "To tell you the truth, my lord, the play in my theater was written and handed over to me, and then forced me to perform it."

Zhan Zhao: "What's going on, you can talk about it in detail."

Cai Shao sighed again: "My lord, if you don't talk about grass people, this is really..."

"Ma Sui is dead." Zhan Zhao said, "In Qizhou, just recently, when he died, his neck was cut off and he pretended to hang himself."

Cai Shao's face was livid.

Zhan Zhao leaned slightly, staring at him with fiery eyes: "Do you still want to hide it for him, Boss Cai?"

Cai Shao's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he didn't dare to breathe when he watched.

Zhan Zhao: "Or do you think he can really protect you for the rest of your life? Let you have no worries about food and clothing from now on, and take care of you in the future?"

He knocked unconsciously on the table with his fingertips: "Why don't we make a bet."

Zhan Zhao chuckled: "Just bet on your life, how long will you keep the person you protect."

After leaving Cai Shao's house, Liu Qing was still a little confused.

"What did you mean just now?" He asked Zhan Zhao, "What does that vegetable have to do with the dog official in the yamen?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and explained to him: "Cai Shao and Feng Jinnian were classmates back then, and because they both like drama, they probably have a good relationship."

Liu Qing said: "Wait a minute... how do you know this?"

"The theater building." Bai Yutang said, "When I was listening to the play, the people next to me said it."

Liu Qing was in the theater building just now, she was only thinking about the matter of the pair of Jiansui, she didn't notice at all whether the person sitting next to her was a ghost or a ghost.

He asked: "Then what does it mean that he protects the man in the yamen?"

"You just saw where Cai Shao lived." Zhan Zhao said, "Would people who live in that kind of place be able to open such a large theater? Or on the other hand, can they afford such a large theater?" How could the people living in such an old house live in such an old house?"

Liu Qing blinked, looked at him and then at Bai Yutang: "...why?"

"Because he didn't own the theater in the first place." Bai Yutang replied for Zhan Zhao, "Although Cai Shao is the boss, it's just a name, because it's not convenient for the real boss to show up."

Liu Qing scratched her head and didn't understand: "No... why? Where did you see it?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and said with a smile, "First of all, it's the inexplicable 'Legend of a Loyal Girl'. When I was listening to the play just now, I don't know if you noticed that there was only the second scene in the whole night's play. The least number of people—obviously, this play is obviously not profitable. As a businessman, if he knows that the product he sells is not liked by the public, will he sell it at a loss? "

Liu Qing subconsciously said: "Of course not."

"But Cai Shao sold it." Zhan Zhao said, "Not only did he sell it, but he sold it frequently, even at the expense of money. He hired local famous actors, and he didn't care about the loss of customer traffic, so he put such a drama that no one likes in the first place. The second show... If you were the owner of this theater, would you ruin your own business like this?"
