Chapter 97 Jingxiang Building

"I'm afraid that you will think a lot of things by your uncle!" the monk said with his head down.

"If you don't want me to think about it, just tell me what's going on with this note? There is also a lot of things you know about Huang's chapter!"

"You'd better not play tricks. If I find out, you dare to hide something, unless you leave this Beiping City, I promise you will stay in the Cannon Bureau for a year and a half!" Chu Mufeng said, lifting the note.

"This is……"

After approaching and staring with wide eyes, the monk couldn't help but complain secretly.

It's so unlucky! It turned out that this note came to me. I said how could I be targeted by the people from the Security Department for no reason? It turned out that the root of it is here.

"What, don't you want to say it, right?" Chu Mufeng's face darkened.

"Official, I'll tell me!" Now that things have come to this, the monk also knows that he has no choice.

If nothing unexpected happens, the person in front of me should be from the Security Department, and his position is obviously higher than that of Tian Hengqi. Don’t make things boring.

"Let me tell you what happened to this note?"

"Official, that's the case. In this big willow ghost market, Huang Benzhang of Yunyanju's business is the most enjoyable and practical. And what's rare is that as long as the conditions are offered, he can not only prepare everything quickly, but also ensure that the quality of everything is very good."

"So I like to do business with Huang Benzhang the most."

"The note is what you see. It is the order I gave. Someone wanted three jade bracelets, so I asked Boss Huang to purchase the goods."

"He said at the time that the delivery of the goods in the ghost market will be delivered three days later. Who would have thought that something happened to him before three days. In order to be able to handle the buyer, I quickly looked for other goods here."

The monk spread his hands and told the truth.

There is no need for him to lie in this matter, he is just a broker.

However, it doesn’t matter to sellers whether they are brokers or not. As long as they can sell goods, how much commission the monk earns from the middle is their ability, and they don’t care.

"Then why do you place an order in this ghost market?" Chu Mufeng asked.

"Official, is this more important? Of course, it's because the things in the ghost market are cheap! And I'm not afraid to tell you that some of the items here are not from the right place, but it's precisely because of this is not right that they are even cheaper."

"As long as the things are real and the price is cheap, there is no need for buyers to buy expensive ones in the shop, then I will be fine. Master, do you think this is the way!"

The monk answered this question naturally. This was right.

"Well, let's continue talking about Huang Benzhang. You should be quite familiar with him. So do you know who he has been with recently? Or who has always had a good relationship with?" Chu Mufeng no longer struggled with the question of the note, but asked straight to the point.

"this……"

He frowned slightly, and the monk hesitated and said, "Official, Boss Huang and I have cooperated in the ghost market and don't deal with each other during the day. I really don't know who he is interacting with."

"Is it really unclear?" Chu Mufeng's tone increased.

Bang!

Seeing this, Tian Hengqi next to him slapped the monk hard on the back of the head and said in a rough voice: "Monkey, think clearly before talking, don't be careless, otherwise I will catch you or not today!"

"Captain Tian, ​​don't dare, don't you dare, let me think about it again, let me think about it again!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the monk dared not be stubborn, lowered his head and bowed his waist and smiled.

After a moment, he slapped his forehead suddenly and said seriously: "By the way, I remember something, I don't know if it's useful."

"Say!" Tian Hengqi shouted.

"Sometimes ago, I accidentally saw Boss Huang going to Jingxianglou alone. Once I followed him curiously and wanted to say hello to him."

"But after I went in, I saw him talking and laughing with the young master of the Li family, so I didn't dare to go up rashly. So if anyone he usually has a close relationship with, it should be with the young master of Li!"

The monk told me about the situation he had seen.

"Young Master of the Li family? Who is it?" Chu Mufeng asked afterwards.

"It's Mr. Li Mingli, Mr. Li, the young master of Mr. Li Sihai, Blue and White Hall!"

The monk said the truth, but the listener Chu Mufeng was excited.

Huang Benzhang actually got very close to Li Mingli, the son of Li Sihai of the Blue and White Hall.

The murderer is another person who is very familiar to Huang.

So, isn’t Li Mingli very suspicious?

This news made Chu Mufeng feel suddenly enlightened. Knowing this clue, even if this ghost market has not come in vain tonight.

"Are you sure it's Li Mingli?" Chu Mufeng asked in a tight voice.

"Confirm sure!"

The monk patted his chest and promised, "Official, can I not know Young Master Li Mingli? That is the young master of the dignified Blue and White Hall!"

"Think about it carefully, is there anything else?" Chu Mufeng continued to ask after secretly remembering the situation in his heart.

"It's really gone! This official, I really didn't hide it from you. I've said everything I should say. I'm just a broker who does some business with Huang Benzhang. How can I know his true feelings?"

"I really don't know why he was killed? Who killed him! Please give up your hand and let me go. I'm just making a living!" After thinking for a long time, the monk seemed to have nothing to say, and bowed and begged with a begging face.

"Let's go! Remember, don't tell anyone tonight! Otherwise, if you get into any trouble, you will be unlucky!" Chu Mufeng looked at the other party a few times, then waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, lord, I will never talk nonsense, I will definitely not say anything!"

The monk turned around and bent down to Tian Hengqi and bowed: "Captain Tian, ​​then I'll leave first."

"Yeah!" Tian Hengqi snorted coldly, and following Chu Mufeng, he naturally wanted to show his official power.

"Okay, your two masters are busy, the villain is leaving first!"

Seeing the monk turning around and leaving, disappearing into the crowded ghost market, Chu Mufeng pondered for a moment: "Laotian, you send someone to follow and monitor this monk. If you find that he has the intention to escape, arrest him immediately and do not make any mistakes."

"Yes, section chief!" Tian Hengqi said respectfully.

...

On the second day, it was drizzling.

After Chu Mufeng arrived at the security hall, he instructed Pei Dongchang to go to Jingxianglou to inquire about the news and see if Li Mingli would go to the show today.

As the young master of the Blue and White Hall, Li Mingli will definitely not be a good person. He actually got together with Huang Benzhang, can there be a good thing?

Chu Mufeng really doesn’t believe it!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Pei Dongchang called back and said that Li Mingli had gone.

Upon receiving this news, Chu Mufeng immediately set off for Jingxiang Tower.

Jingxiang Building.

In this 49th city, as long as you like to listen to operas, no one doesn’t know the three words Jing Xianglou.

This theater was once the private residence of a salt merchant in the Qing Dynasty, but now it has become a theater. In the theater industry in Peking City, it can be ranked among the top.

Not to mention anything else, the Taiwan couplet that is hung is very particular. It is said that it was given by a certain emperor.

"The sun and moon lamps, rivers and sea oil, wind and thunder drum boards, a theater between heaven and earth; Yao, Shun, civil and military, and rude, and many characters from ancient and modern times."

Anyone who comes here to listen to operas is either rich or noble in the city.

Even if ordinary people feel itchy, they don’t have the spare money to squander it.

Chu Mufeng, wearing a casual outfit, came here by car, and Tian Hengqi was still following him. Since he had received guidance from his senior brother, he would naturally be able to get evenly matched, and also give the people in Team 2 and Team 3 a chance.

"Laotian, do you like to listen to operas on weekdays?" Chu Mufeng asked casually, pointing to the poster placed at the entrance of Jingxiang Building.

The poster reads eight big words "The Peony New Play, Storm and Rain"!

"Mr. Chu, don't say that, I'm a real fan. Just like the peony mentioned in this poster, it's the big green-yi that Jingxianglou has been very popular recently. Its singing style is really beautiful, and many people are coming to her."

"From me, if nothing unexpected happens, this little peony will soon become popular and become a famous actor!" Tian Hengqi said with a shaking head.

From these words, we can see that he is not pretending to understand, but he really loves to understand plays.

"Little Peony? Big Blue-Yi?"

Chu Mufeng also has some understanding of the opera industry and knows that it is very difficult to make a name for himself in this circle.

Especially in this era, this bowl of rice is not easy to eat. If you can't sing well, you will not only be shouted at by the audience, but you will even throw things on the stage on the spot.

Like later generations, actors were highly anticipated and sought after.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look!"

"Yes, Mr. Chu!"

Although it is still a while before the opening of Xiao Mudan's opera, it is already full.

If it weren't for Pei Dongchang's purchase of tickets in advance, neither Chu Mufeng nor the other would have seats, so we can see how popular this little peony is.

The stage in front of me is a square brick and wood structure. There are wooden pillars at the four corners of the platform. There are two pillars in front of the platform, which is the one given by the emperor.

There are exquisitely carved guardrails on the front of the stage, and woodcarved lotus and little lions are embellished at the top of the stage. At the top of the stage, there are hanging carved railings, which are symmetrical to the railings below.

"How would Xiao Mudan sing this new drama "Haitang Chun" tonight?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Xiao Mudan's singing skills are still skeptical, so she must have nothing to say!"

"Since I inquired about Xiao Mudan's play, I can't listen to other people's plays again. Her voice, appearance, and posture are really amazing!"

...

Chu Mufeng passed by these fans and heard such discussions, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

When listening to the opera, he became obsessed with the star-chasing people in later generations.

"Mr. Chu, our location is upstairs, right next to Li Mingli. The East Factory is very good!" Tian Hengqi had already watched the show tickets, so he was very familiar with it.

"Let's go! Go upstairs!" Chu Mufeng nodded and said.
