Nightmare Apostle

"This first-class reward is prepared for the leader, the leader, the leader. The leader is also the pillar of the entire troupe, the actor with the best performance."

"Those who can get the second-class reward are the second-class actors, those who accompany the famous actors, as well as the civil and military stewards in the theater troupe, and the junior stewards who take the lead below, such as the box head."

"The remaining third-class prizes are for other people in the troupe, ordinary martial arts, courtyard aisles, flags, gongs and umbrellas, palace maids, musicians and chest servers, inspectors, door curtains, color boxes, and opera organizers. The ones who run errands, the people who cheer for us in the audience, and the people who resist the big box.”

The old accountant saw that he often listened to operas, so he told these things casually. As for the direction of the Bai family's gatehouse, it was naturally the main pillar.

According to what the old accountant said, Yang Xiao and the others compared the accounts and counted the approximate number of people. A total of 27 people came to the Bai family gatehouse that night, of which 3 people won the first prize. Hi, Team Leader Bai, and another The surname Wei is a big improvement.

There are 6 second-class reward people. Except for the two second-class corners who have names and numbers, the rest are referred to by their positions. There is one civil and military manager, a leading steward, and a box head.

There were more third-class rewards. There were no specific persons at all. Some positions were simply marked for the convenience of accounting. They were divided into three categories: 7 team members, 5 miscellaneous people, and 5 coolies, a total of 18 people.

"Huh? That's not right." Kuang Hongyi pointed to the third prize position, "7 in the team, 5 in miscellaneous items, and 5 in coolies. There are only 17 people in total. Why is there one more person in the end?"

But the old accountant just nodded and pointed to the end, where a separate circle was drawn, but it was not full and a small piece was missing. "There is a child in the theater troupe. The child does not go to the theater, but the master is kind-hearted. I was also rewarded with a piece of silver, which is included in the third-class reward.”

Su Tingting became wary when she heard the word "child" and asked tentatively: "Why does this circle feel weird to me? And for a child... why should it be replaced by a circle?"

"Every line has its own rules. This is the rule of the theater troupe. If you want to participate in a big show, you have to open the door and pay homage to the master Liang. You must be given a meal by the ancestor to join the industry. The child is too young. He must not have officially joined the industry yet. His name cannot be It was written in the troupe, so it was divided into a separate section, and it was not perfect," the old accountant explained patiently.

But Yang Xiao and the others are obviously interested in this child. Yang Xiao also knows a little bit about the taboos of the troupe. Ghosts are performed by ghosts and gods. These things are unreasonable and can easily hit people's bodies. The Qi is weak and it is dangerous to appear near the ghost show.

Besides, bringing the rest of the troupe can still help out, but bringing a child will not help, and it will easily cause trouble. This is a ghost show, and a little trouble will cause big trouble. The leader will wander around. , will not understand this truth.

Yang Xiao also thought of Kuang Hongyi, so he asked tentatively: "Old sir, is this child a relative of Team Leader Bai?"

The expression on the old accountant's face changed suddenly, "Don't dare to talk nonsense. Boss Bai only has a daughter, and she is a perfect match for the old man. Where can he have a child from his relatives!"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to realize that his tone was not very good, and he immediately made up for it with a kind attitude, "But although we are not blood relatives, class leader Bai is really kind to the child. He always keeps him by his side and hugs him from time to time. It can be seen that he is very good. I like this kid and would like to let this kid inherit my legacy in the future, but it's a pity..."

The old accountant didn't say the rest, but Yang Xiao and others understood that it was a pity that Team Leader Bai had no future. Not long after the ghost show, the entire Bai family gatehouse died at Laoniuwan Ferry, leaving no one alive. remain.

This old accountant is not simple, he is a good person, and he doesn't say a word that shouldn't be said. No wonder Master Feng can still let him live until now, knowing so many things.

Yang Xiao knew that this child was definitely not that simple. If Team Leader Bai really liked him, he would never bring him to a ghost show. Once some weak children are attacked by ghosts and gods, even if they are lucky enough to be rescued, they will be ruined for the rest of their lives and will become For a fool.

As if he was worried about spilling the beans, the old accountant put away the account books and was about to leave. Kuang Hongyi stopped him and said, "Old sir, can you leave the account books and receipts after we use them up... ..”

"No, the account books will be returned as soon as they are used up, never overnight. This is the rule of the house." Although the old accountant was old, he was very energetic. He shook his head and refused directly. Then he handed over his hand and stopped talking nonsense. Picked up the crutches and left in a hurry.

When only Yang Xiao and three others were left in the room, the atmosphere became weird. Kuang Hongyi hesitated and spoke first: "I'm afraid this child has a big problem. Team Leader Bai is not so kind."

"Could it be related to those girls?" Su Tingting asked.

"I don't know." Yang Xiao looked at the sky outside, "The weather is good today. We are trying to find a way out of the house to find clues. We must go to Yi Xingye's place. Also, the Bai family opera troupe performs in the Yingke Building in the south of the city. , I want to go there to see it, the words of the Feng family cannot be trusted."

"Brother Chu is right. We also need to inquire about those families whose children have been abducted." Kuang Hongyi added.

"Da da da..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside. He turned around and saw a waiter dressed as a servant coming hurriedly outside the door, "Three Fookers, Shi Fooker asked the younger one to come over with the message. He and the master were chatting very much." OK, put your mind at ease.”

Then the young man raised his head and looked at Su Tingting, "Shi Fuke also said that Chu Fuke and Kuang Fuke should go out to continue the investigation. Su Foke has difficulty moving, so he stayed with him to guard the house in the mansion to protect Mr. Feng and the second young mistress."

Yang Xiao nodded, "I understand, you can go back."

But after hearing Yang Xiao's words, the servant didn't move, staring straight at Su Tingting, and later turned to look at Yang Xiao, "Chu Fuke, you may not understand what I mean, I want to take Su Fuke with me. ....."

"I said I got it!" Yang Xiao's sudden change of attitude startled the boy, and he turned around and went out, apparently planning to wait outside.

When Su Tingting heard Shi Dali's name asking him to stay, Su Tingting's face turned pale. He was the only one left in Shi Dali's group, and the rest of his teammates were dead.

"Don't be afraid, I can't let you stay." Yang Xiao comforted her for a few words and then looked at Kuang Hongyi and explained straightforwardly: "Shi Dali didn't have good intentions. He knew that he couldn't get information from you and me, so he set his sights on Su Tingting. It’s on my body, and I can catch another scapegoat.”

"Well, you're right." Kuang Hongyi acted very righteously at the moment. He glanced at Su Tingting, who was still in fear, and sighed, "You are lucky enough to meet the two of us. This time I will stay to deal with him. , you two find an opportunity to leave the house and collect clues."
