The Actor Comes to an End (7)
Author: Longqian Harbor
Upon hearing this, the class leader froze on the spot, while Shen Tao's heart thumped and he dropped the wine glass in his hand to the ground.
It turns out that the Farewell My Concubine performed by Wang Yandian just now was banned in the city. Why? Because the best song He Yi sang at that time was Farewell My Concubine, and on the day of Shen Tao's birthday, Farewell My Concubine was also sung.
After Shen Tao killed He Yi, he ordered that all opera troupes in the town were not allowed to sing "Farewell My Concubine".
When Wang Yan saw the class leader standing there motionless, he roared: "What? Don't you understand? Don't you know how to sing?"
This time the class leader was stumped. It didn't matter whether he was singing or not. The class leader looked at Shen Tao.
Shen Tao's face gradually turned ugly. He knew that Wang Yan was not someone to be trifled with, so he slowly raised his hand and waved to the class leader.
"just sing!"
After getting Shen Tao's approval, the class leader staged this Farewell My Concubine.
Wang Yan in the audience felt very pleased with himself and kept cheering.
On the other hand, Shen Tao was not so happy. He kept a straight face and his teeth were itching with hatred. He thought to himself: This Wang Yan is deliberately trying to make things difficult for me.
Shen Mingxue, who was already crazy in the house, heard this familiar plot and came to join in the fun. She was wrapped in a quilt and had thick makeup on her face, like a ghost from the underworld.
Shen Mingxue quickly ran to the stage and sang, and the people on the stage were so disturbed that they could not continue the performance. The sound of gongs and drums also stopped, leaving only Shen Mingxue humming there.
Wang Yan kept his eyes slightly closed and never opened them from beginning to end. When he heard the sound of gongs and drums stopped, he said without opening his eyes: "Why did you stop? Continue."
The attendant behind him took out his gun from his waist and aimed at those who were beating the gongs and drums.
They had seen this kind of scene before and it was important to save their lives, so they started beating again.
Wang Yan closed his eyes and enjoyed everything.
But Shen Tao couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up from the chair and shouted to the servant behind him: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you drag the lady down quickly?"
The two maids then ran up and pulled Shen Mingxue down.
Wang Yan muttered to himself: "Tsk, tsk! It's boring, it's boring."
Shen Tao couldn't bear it anymore. He slammed the table, stood up and shouted: "Wang, what do you mean?"
The two groups of people behind him took out their guns and pointed them at each other, as if they were ready for a fight, but Wang Yan was still slowly tasting the wine.
"Brother Shen, it's just a play, why do you have to be so serious! Besides, isn't Brother Shen's favorite thing just listening to a play?"
Sensitive Shen Tao realized something was wrong and asked, "Who are you? Today is the first time you and I have met. Why do you know me so well?"
Wang Yan chuckled: "Brother Shen, why are you so nervous? Since I'm coming, of course I have to check carefully! Don't worry, I just like to listen to the show."
After that, Wang Yan led a group of people and walked away in a big way.
Shen Tao's palms were covered with sweat. Looking at his retreating figure, he called Lao Ma to his side and asked: "Lao Ma, are you sure you have dealt with everything six months ago?"
Lao Ma vowed: "Don't worry, sir. We buried He Yi with our own hands, and he was already dead when we buried him."
"What about the people in the troupe?" The more Shen Tao thought about it, the more suspicious Wang Yan became, especially his eyes that had been burnt by the fire. He always felt familiar.
"Master, that night I led people to surround the entire courtyard. Everyone who ran out was killed and then thrown into the sea of fire. I didn't lead people away until the fire was extinguished. There was absolutely no one left alive."
After hearing this, Shen Tao nodded silently. He was relatively reassured about Lao Ma's work, but Wang Yan was so weird that Shen Tao had to confirm again.
"Hmph! Wang Yan, don't think that because you are a celebrity in front of Marshal Zhang, I don't dare to do anything to you, but don't forget whose territory this is. Just wait for me!"
"Master, it's not good!" A maid came running over in a hurry.
Shen Tao's anger had just subsided when he heard something happened again. He couldn't help frowning and asked: "You are so panicked, what happened?"
Seeing that Shen Tao's expression was not right, the maid said hesitantly: "Miss, the lady is missing."
"What?" Shen Tao immediately became furious when he heard this, "Pah!" He gave the maid a hard slap and roared: "Didn't I tell you to take a good look at the lady? What do you do for food!"
The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground shivering and did not dare to say a word.
Shen Tao turned around three times angrily and shouted: "Look for it quickly. Ask everyone in the yard to find it for me."
Lao Ma led a group of people to search for Shen Mingxue around the town.
After Qingde and I separated, I walked around the town, rummaged through my empty pockets, and shook my head helplessly: "Oh! It seems I can only spend the night on the street tonight."
"The king's generous sad songs make people cry. How about I wait for my concubine to sing and dance to relieve the king's worries?"
When I heard the opera, I thought: Shen Mingxue must be singing opera on the tower again.
Out of curiosity, I went down to the tower and saw Shen Mingxue dancing on the upper floor.
Not long after, Lao Ma led Shen Tao and came over. Looking at Shen Mingxue dancing on the tower, he felt uncomfortable.
"Lao Ma, hurry up and ask someone to take the young lady home."
Just as Lao Ma and his men were about to step forward, Shen Mingxue who was upstairs suddenly stopped and said to Shen Tao: "Dad, I wonder if you still remember the show Farewell My Concubine."
When Shen Tao heard this, his face instantly darkened, and he shouted loudly: "You are not my daughter, you are He Yi, and you are here to ask for your life."
Shen Mingxue laughed loudly on the tower and continued dancing by herself.
Shen Tao looked down at the dancing Shen Mingxue who was almost exactly the same as the original He Yi. He kept shaking his head and said: "She is possessed by a ghost. She is possessed by a ghost."
But I stood aside and didn't see a ghost at all. Maybe Shen Tao had a guilty conscience and was hallucinating!
"Your Majesty! It has been said since ancient times: "A loyal minister will not serve two masters, and a loyal woman will not marry two husbands." If your Majesty wants to achieve great things, how can you care for one woman? Forget it! I am willing to beg the king for his three-foot sword and kill myself in front of you to repay your deep kindness. So that the king will not be in suspense."
I suddenly had a bad feeling and shouted, "She is going to commit suicide."
Shen Tao and Lao Ma looked at me at the same time. As soon as they finished speaking, Shen Mingxue jumped down from the tower and died on the spot.
At this moment, Wang Yan also led a group of soldiers to arrive here. Looking at the heartbroken Shen Tao, he said calmly: "I heard someone singing here just now. What's wrong? Where are the people?"
