Chapter 237 The troupe is missing (please vote for me)

Chapter 237

Everyone talked about the troupe, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually relaxed, with smiles on everyone's faces.

Only Yu Weide looked a little embarrassed. He looked at Zhao Fusheng and hesitated to speak.

Zhao Fusheng did not stop everyone from discussing. It was not until a while later, when the others had stopped talking, that they realized that Zhao Fusheng had mentioned something happened to the troupe before.

Everyone stopped the topic in unison.

Zhao Fusheng said:

"What happened to the Hongquan Troupe?"

Yu Weide was a little scared.

It was already winter in October, and his forehead and nose were suddenly covered with beads of sweat.

He pinched his sleeves and wiped them. Hearing Zhao Fusheng's question, he answered bravely:

"In reply to your lord, my old friend wrote that the troupe entrusted to him by Vice Ling Zheng that day has disappeared."

"what?"

Zhang Chuanshi screamed strangely:
"Why is it missing? The Hongquan Opera Troupe is a well-known large troupe, and it is not a grass-stage troupe. The troupe, senior students, and troupes are all large and small. There are at least twenty or thirty people. With so many people, how can they still fly with wings? Is it done?”

His words made Yu Weide even more uneasy.

"My old friend said that he has indeed disappeared."

Xu Yachen also found this matter very strange.

In fact, Zheng He valued the theater troupe when he was in Baozhi County. When he went to Wan'an County, because there were many people in the troupe and there were many costumes in the troupe, it was inconvenient to travel with him, so he deliberately left them with the Xu family. Let them come to Wan'an County together.

Before Zheng He left, he told Xu Yachen: Hongquan Opera Troupe is someone Zhao Fusheng values, and he should take good care of it and not neglect anything.

With Zheng He's words, Xu Yachen was also very concerned about this matter.

"To tell you the truth, Brother Yachen said in his letter that he took great care of the troupe. He rationed the daily meals and assigned two boys to wait on them."

"and many more!"

Zhang Chuanshi has a dark mentality and is a shrewd man. When he heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

He was originally sitting on a carved wooden chair with his legs crossed. Now he pushed his legs on the ground and stood up with his arms akimbo, staring. The two mustaches on his lips were swayed by him, and his whole person looked like a gray man. Big mouse:

"Yu Weide, you old guy, are you thinking that I am young and are you trying to trick us?"

"No, no, how dare you do that——"

When Yu Weide heard Zhang Chuanshi's accusation, he immediately became anxious and hit the ground with his crutches:

"Everything I said is true. I dare not deceive you with any lies."

"How could it be true?" Zhang Chuanshi raised an eyebrow and stared at Yu Weide with his eyebrows raised:

"The Hongquan Theater Troupe is quite famous, but in the end, it's just a theater troupe."

Even if Zheng He is well-known for his love of theater, he entrusted the theater troupe to Xu Yachen before coming to Wan'an County - "It's okay for the good wine and meat surnamed Xu to take care of him, and he also has to hire a servant to wait on him -"

Zhang Chuanshi clicked his tongue twice and shook his head:

"I don't believe it. This is not taking care of the troupe. It's clearly taking care of the distinguished guests. Who are you coaxing?"

"It's true!" Yu Weide said loudly.

Zhang Chuanshi pointed at him with his arms akimbo and said:

"I think it's clear that you, an old boy, colluded with Xu Yachen to deceive the Lord——"

The old squire was so aroused by him that he looked at Zhao Fusheng subconsciously, as if he had made a decision.

"..."

Zhao Fusheng had a bad premonition in his heart and quickly stopped Zhang Chuanshi:

"Old Zhang, first--"

"Don't worry, sir!"

Zhang Chuanshi thought she was pitying Wade and said loudly:

"Let me ask for you. This old man talks incoherently and has no clue what to do. Who would call a boy to wait on someone from the troupe?"

"That's for a reason!" Yu Weide said.

"What's the reason?" Zhang Chuanshi didn't believe it.

Zhao Fusheng wanted to win over Zhang Chuanshi, but this cunning old man was extremely agile at the critical moment.

His left shoulder pressed down, and his whole body escaped Zhao Fusheng's grasp like a loach.

As soon as Zhang Chuanshi escaped, Yu Weide couldn't control his mouth anymore:
"Fu Ling Zheng mentioned it to Brother Yachen, saying that he has taken a fancy to a young boy in the theater troupe and wants him to serve him delicious food and drinks..."

Zhao Fusheng's face was ashen!

Everyone in the room looked at each other, their eyes flickering, and they lowered their heads subconsciously.

"..."

Zhang Chuanshi was stunned on the spot, and Zhao Fusheng kicked him hard. He didn't dare to dodge. After resisting, he was kicked to the ground, and he even screamed in agony.

Pang Zhixian's heart was scratching like a cat, still thinking about what Yu Weide said: I don't know if it is true or false.

He has known Zhao Fusheng for several months. This gentleman likes to handle cases and cares about the people's livelihood in Wan'an County. He has rarely heard anything about her personal ethics...

When the old county magistrate was thinking wildly, he heard Fan Wujiu, a fool, say:
"Oh, it turns out it's that kid——"

While he was talking, Fan Bisheng, who had settled Guo Wei outside, happened to come in:

"What that boy?"

Fan Bisheng vaguely felt that the atmosphere in the lobby was strange.

Pang Zhixian and others lowered their heads, looking at their noses and hearts. Zhang Chuanshi, an old man, sat slumped on the ground, rubbing his thighs with his hands and sucking in cold air.

Zhao Fusheng's expression was ugly. His brother didn't seem to notice, but he was a little happy when he saw him coming in:

"Brother, do you remember? Last time in Baozhi County, Zheng He invited the Hongquan Opera Troupe to sing on the boat to celebrate the master's victory over the door god. At that time, there was a handsome boy who sat next to the master and poured tea for him. What's the name of the water pourer?"

"Willow Mountain——"

Fan Bisei said subconsciously.

After he finished speaking, there was deathly silence in the lobby.

He immediately understood the reason for the strange atmosphere in the hall at this time, and wished he could turn around and go out on the spot.

"...Sir, Guo Wei has settled down."

Fortunately, Fan Bisei was unusual. Although he was feeling uneasy at this time, he pretended to be calm. He changed the subject as if no one was around to ease his embarrassment, and finally said:

"Why did you suddenly mention the Hongquan Theater Troupe? At that time, the adults asked about the theater troupe. Is there something wrong?"

When he said this, Zhang Chuanshi, who was racking his brains to think of a way to escape, his eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, sir, you are wise."

"Get out!" Zhao Fusheng kicked him.

Zhang Chuanshi rolled around on the ground following the force of her feet, nodded and bowed:
"I'll get out right now, get out now." He took the opportunity to hide in a corner to avoid embarrassment.

The old man ran away after finishing the act, leaving Yu Weide with a worried look on his face:
"grown ups--"

At this moment, Kuai Manzhou, who had been following Zhao Fusheng quietly, suddenly raised his head:

"Fu Sheng, who is Liu Shan?"

Others dared not say a word.

Zhao Fusheng was a little angry at first, but when she saw everyone getting more embarrassed and even fidgeting, as if they were afraid of hearing her 'private' secret, she even wanted to laugh.

"A young boy from the theater troupe, wearing a green leather hat——"

She said a few perfunctory words to Kuai Manzhou, and then sent her away without mercy:

"Okay, kid, don't ask so many questions. I'll buy you candy tomorrow."

"Humph!"

The little girl was a little angry, snorted loudly, and turned her head away.

Others were a little afraid of the youngest demon master who was newly mastered by the Demon Suppression Division and had mastered a disaster-level ghost. Seeing her getting angry now, they were afraid that she would lose control.

Zhao Fusheng ignored her, but looked at Yu Weide and said seriously:

"Tell me about the troupe."

Since everyone was pretending to be deaf and dumb, she no longer dwelled on the niche of the Hongquan Opera Troupe, but instead focused the topic on the Hongquan Opera Troupe.

"Sir, my old friend—"

Yu Weide wanted to explain, but Zhao Fusheng interrupted him:

"Telling about the disappearance of the troupe."

"……Yes."

Yu Weide could only nod.

"Actually, when your Excellency mentioned Brother Yachen's family relocation, I was also anxious -"

Ever since he mentioned that he would bring people to Wan'an County for Zhao Fusheng, Yu Weide has always been very concerned about this matter.

Especially when the ghost mausoleum case broke out, Zhao Fusheng rushed back at the critical moment, dealt with the ghost trouble, and saved his life. Yu Weide even regarded Wan'an County as his future retirement place, and he was very concerned about doing things for Zhao Fusheng. Very hardworking too.

Since the ghost case in Baozhi County, Yu Weide has not stopped communicating with Xu Yachen, and he also knows that he will arrive soon.

"Half a month ago, he wrote to me and told me that everything was ready and everything in the house should be packed up. By the end of the month, people would come over to deliver the furniture one after another."

According to Xu Yachen's plan, the Xu family's relocation will be completed around early next year.

"In the past few days, I have also asked my servants at home to pay attention to people coming into the city, but I didn't see anyone coming. Just when I was wondering, two days ago, I received a letter from someone from the Xu family."

When Yu Weide said this, he took out a wrapped letter from his sleeve.

He put down his crutch, walked over to Zhao Fusheng, and handed the letter into Zhao Fusheng's hand.

Zhao Fusheng unfolded the letter.

The envelope was ginger-yellow and had no signature on it.

There was a mark of a red wax seal on the envelope, but the mark had been damaged. She opened the envelope and pulled out a piece of letterhead.

She shook the letter open with one hand, and it read: Brother Wade saw the letter as if he had met him before.

She wrote a few simple greetings at the beginning, glanced at it briefly, and then got down to the main topic.

"...Something big happened at home, and I'm worried. I'm afraid that the adults will blame me."

It turned out that when Zheng He was about to leave Baozhi County that day, he entrusted the Hongquan Opera Troupe to Xu Yachen. Xu Yachen dedicated a garden at home for the troupe members.

Both parties were very happy to be entertained with delicious food and drinks every day.

Until three days ago, Xu Yachen's servant received a sheep when he was collecting rent outside the city.

After the mutton was cooked at home, Xu Yachen remembered the theater troupe staying at home, so he asked his servants to send half a leg of mutton over.

Unexpectedly, when the servants arrived at the garden, they found nothing.

"The opera troupe has gone and the building is empty. There is not a single living person in this huge garden."

The overtime leader of the Hongquan Opera Troupe led a large number of actors, and together with the boy Xu Yachen sent to serve Liu Quan at the time, there were a total of 31 people.

The garden assigned to them by Xu Yachen was still a bit crowded. The theater troupe had to practice singing and playing every day, and it was bustling all day long. The Xu family's main house was not far from the garden, and they could hear noises every day.

But today is really weird. When the troupe disappeared, the Xu family didn't even notice at all.

The person who delivered the leg of lamb stepped back with a puzzled look on his face. When he saw Xu Yachen and told him the situation, Xu Yachen was immediately taken aback.

There are so many people in the troupe, and just coming in and out every day is enough to irritate people. If they decide to leave the Xu family, they will definitely attract the attention of the people in the mansion, and then report back to Xu Yachen——

Unless they were disenchanted and had made up their minds early on, they would secretly sneak out of the house in batches.

But first of all, Xu Yachen had not received any news before, and secondly, he had good food and drinks every day and was well served. The troupe leader greeted him with a smile every time he saw him. If there was no offense, it would be impossible for the troupe to leave in anger.

His son then speculated whether the troupe had taken away the money and escaped.

This is not a rare thing in the Han Dynasty.

In the prefectures and counties where the troupe went, local wealthy families invited them to sing in operas. They usually had to guard against the troupe members seducing young ladies, for fear that their daughters would be abducted and run off with them.

At this time, transportation is inconvenient, ghost troubles are rampant, and the troupe travels all over the country. If they leave, they will be like a fish in the sea. Where can they go to find people?

But Xu Yachen asked people to collect some of his belongings at home and found that they were not missing - this was really strange.

When Zheng He entrusted the theater troupe to him, he pointed out that Zhao Fusheng had taken good care of the theater troupe. Xu Yachen intended to please Zhao Fusheng, and the garden prepared for the theater troupe was not bad.

The furnishings in the garden remained unchanged, and there were some valuable objects in the house, which were all placed in their original places.

Neither they offended the troupe nor they escaped with their money. It is a big strange thing that so many people are missing.

At first he also doubted whether there was a ghost.

However, all the descendants of the Xu family who were recorded in the family were still there, and even the servants and servants were not missing. The only losses among the Xu family were the two boys who had been transferred to the theater troupe, and disappeared with the theater troupe.

Afterwards, Xu Yachen ordered two servants to stay in the garden.

If the garden is haunted, something will happen to these two people.

Everyone in the Xu family stayed up all night. When it was getting dark the next day, they looked into the garden and saw that the two servants guarding the garden were fine. When they saw the Xu family, they burst into tears.

Such test results prove that there is nothing wrong with the garden and there are no ghosts in the garden.

But if it wasn't a ghost case and the Xu family didn't drive them away, why did the troupe disappear?
Xu Yachen felt very uneasy in fear.

He was worried that Zhao Fusheng would hate him because of the troupe, and he immediately wanted to escape Baozhi County.

However, after the ghost case in Baozhi County that day, he witnessed Zhao Fusheng subduing the door god without killing or injuring a single county citizen, so he respected and believed in her very much.

After agreeing to move to Wan'an County, she has been preparing and busy with this matter.

The Xu family's shop in Baozhi County has long been closed, and some large items have been transported long ago. If they evacuate at this time, it will cause heavy losses to the Xu family, and their vitality will be seriously damaged.

In addition, he had dealt with Zhao Fusheng before and knew something about her temperament. Therefore, he suppressed his fear and wrote a letter to his old friend before fleeing, asking him to help him find out what Zhao Fusheng said. Pray for yourself.

At the end of the letter, he wrote: "Brother Wade, please give me a few words of kindness. It is indeed not my fault that the troupe disappeared. However, although I did not harm the troupe, I also committed a breach of duty. If you can spare the Xu family afterwards, I will I’d like to make amends.”
