Theatre.

Zhang Yanling was in the private room, while watching the show, while talking to Manager Xue about his investment.

The emperor personally visited the theater and was very shocked by Manager Xue. In addition, he was Xu Qiong's disciple, and now he has to rely entirely on Zhang Yanling's protection and survival.

"...Sir, since yesterday, someone has been learning this drama, but I am afraid that it will be performed everywhere in the capital." Xue Jiangui meant that even if Zhang Yanling invested in the shares, he would not make much money.

Zhang Yanling took a tea ceremony: "I haven't done anything to bully the market recently, but if anyone wants to take advantage of me, I won't let him have a good life. Don't worry, where will the scenes I arranged in the city in the future? Even if Shuntian Mansion doesn't care, the Jinyiwei will come to him personally to correct them!"

After hearing this, Manager Xue instantly smelled the fragrance of power.

"Shopkeeper Xue is also relieved. If you go back, you will find someone to send you a gift. Two hundred guan a penny is not enough." Zhang Yanling said he wanted to invest, but he did not intend to take it forcibly.

This was a step in his development of the cultural industry of the Ming Dynasty.

Manager Xue quickly said, "No need or not..."

Zhang Yanling said: "The money you invest in is necessary, but dividends are also necessary. Don't bully me and don't understand the industry of theaters and cheating. In addition to this drama, I will arrange a few more for you in the future. I bought the opera troupe before. After the drama is finished, let their headmaster come over to meet me."

"Yes, yes, I'll make arrangements now." Manager Xue said very well.

Just as Manager Xue opened the door and left the private room, Jin Qi ran in and said a few words to Zhang Yanling's ear.

Zhang Yanling nodded.

...

...

Soon, Yang Peng was wearing regular clothes and sneaked into the private room.

"Sir, why do you still meet here? There are so many people and eyes..." Yang Peng was trembling, afraid that someone would see that he had contact with Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling said: "It is because there are so many people that they are not easy to be discovered. Who would have thought that you and I will meet here? Eunuch Yang, you are doing things quite casually..."

Yang Peng said with a sad face: "Sir, I'm all following your instructions. The fire last night..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Yanling reached out to interrupt.

Zhang Yanling pretended to be surprised and said, "Eunuch Yang, don't you know some clues about the fire in the palace yesterday, right? Or is that the fire related to you? Setting fire in the palace, let alone losing your head, killing the nine clans is light!"

"No, that matter has nothing to do with the little one." Yang Peng quickly changed his words.

Zhang Yanling then said with relief: "You have to talk first. It's such a big fire in the palace. I feel scared when I think about it. I don't know how brave and reckless it is."

"hehe."

What else can Yang Peng do besides smiling bitterly?

Zhang Yanling continued to look at the scene on the stage below and said Lei Ran: "I am also a person who believes in his words. Eunuch Yang will do his job. I will let you go for the time being. You have to give up some blood in this case. In this case, you must also pay some money. The people from the Chief Ning Bo and the Ministry of Justice paid money to appease the offender and the family of the deceased. You..."

Yang Peng quickly said, "The youngest ones also offer...a hundred cents."

“Too few.”

"Five hundred stakes... no, one thousand stakes, the extra one is regarded as your filial piety to your Lord."

Yang Peng seems to be better at it.

Knowing that this was a blackmail to him, the generous move from him shows that he has made a lot of money in the past.

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Okay, that's one thousand guan. As for how I assigned it, I don't need to say hello to you. Your errand in the East Factory has been temporarily removed, and Eunuch Xiao will not tolerate you for the time being, but you are still taking the errand in the Imperial Horse Supervision Office, and your nephew is in custody."

"Ah?" Yang Peng obviously cared more about his nephew Yang Zhi.

Zhang Yanling sneered: "Don't be surprised, just take it as a bargaining chip. I can't be completely relieved of you. Moreover, your nephew's arrogant and domineering personality is not good. Betting for a period of time is a kind of temper for his personality. You should be grateful to me."

Yang Peng said with a bitter face: "Yes, yes."

Zhang Yanling said: "As long as you do your best, I will never make things difficult for Ling Nephew. I will notify you if you have any questions in the future..."

"Don't worry, the young man has a residence in the city. If you have any instructions, just send someone to inform me. If you don't have to leave a word, please wait for the young man to come to visit you in person." Yang Peng, as an eunuch in the East Factory, used to have the power to leave the palace. Not only did he have a private residence in the capital, but he also had people who could help with things.

Zhang Yanling discussed the way of contact with him, then waved his hand and asked him to go back.

Before leaving, he also reminded him to send a thousand guan early.

Zhang Yanling himself did not care about this little money, but he had to give Yang Peng a greedy attitude, so that Yang Peng could use money to comfort him and facilitate his control over Yang Peng.

Flying a kite.

Whether the line is relaxed or tightened is all power in Zhang Yanling's hands.

...

...

Yang Peng left.

Jin Qi walked in and said with a smile: "Cousin, the Ministry of Justice sent someone to inform me, saying that it was a criminal woman... It was Mancang'er's family who had been dealt with and was about to be sent back to his hometown. I wonder what to deal with Mancang'er?"

Seeing Jin Qi's smirk on his face, Zhang Yanling felt that Jin Qi was malicious.

"Where are people?" Zhang Yanling asked.

Jin Qi came over and said, "I'm just taking my own initiative and ask them to send the people to the theater first, just outside."

Another one who is above the Tao.

If you want to say, Zhang Yanling was also very curious about Mancang'er. How could a woman cause such a big storm in the capital, involving the dispute between the Ministry of Justice and the East Factory, and made the emperor care about the case...

Beauty is in trouble.

"How is your appearance?" Zhang Yanling asked with a smile.

Jin Qi's eyes were illuminating and he said, "Of course the beauty is good. If you like it, please tell me where to send it. If you are the younger one, let's make arrangements. Why don't you take a look first?"

Jin Qi's meaning is already very obvious.

Mancang'er's case was handled by Zhang Yanling, and Zhang Yanling has the right to "dispose" to Mancang'er.

Even if Zhang Yanling avoids suspicion and cannot abandon the public for personal gain, it is okay to just "good luck" at will.

Zhang Yanling said: "A woman is a bit beautiful, but her life experience is also a bit miserable. After experiencing so many things, how can I take advantage of others' danger?"

"ah?"

Jin Qi looked confused.

You, No. Jianchang, won’t you take advantage of others’ danger?

Zhang Yanling was actually too lazy to say that this woman was first obtained by Zhou Yu, and later Yang Zhi, who had been with him for a long time, was also involved in the romantic field for many years, and had countless benefactors...

With my power, what kind of woman should not be? With my self-discipline, how can it be related to such a woman who may be full of illness?

"I will send it back to the Ministry of Justice first. This case must be left to His Holiness to make the final decision. I can't just use public service to help my private affairs." Zhang Yanling said with a decent look on his face.

“Yes, yes!”

Jin Qi didn't ask why, he just knew that he had to do things as he ordered.

...

...

Just as Jin Qi left, Manager Xue brought the troupe's people.

The headmaster of the opera troupe is a man in his forties, with his surname Hao. In addition to this headmaster Hao, there are two beauties, one big and one small, behind him, which is the pillar of the opera troupe.

The older beauty played Mancang'er in the play before.

"Please pay tribute to my uncle."

Master Hao said he was paying homage, but he brought two beauties to kneel down to Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling stood up in front of him and smiled and said, "What is Master Hao doing? Get up."

The words were said to Master Hao, but the person went to the two beauties.

When Master Hao saw this attitude, how could he not understand the meaning?

Even if he really had a bad head and couldn't understand it, the shopkeeper Xue behind him quickly pulled him, and the two of them temporarily withdrew from the private room.

Zhang Yanling said that he wanted to meet the troupe, but he wanted to meet the female actors in the troupe.

After only three people were left in the room, Zhang Yanling smiled and looked at the two beauties. They both looked handsome and looked very good. It was no wonder that Zhang Heling had a glance at the female actor in the troupe before.

"What are the names of the two girls?" Zhang Yanling asked with a smile.

"The folk girl is named Xiaolian, this is the pampered girl's name, Xiaoqing." The older beauty said with a shy look on her face and a little timid.

Zhang Yanling had no feeling about the name of "Xiao Lian", and suddenly had aroused reverie about the name of "Xiao Qing".

This big beauty and a little beauty, one in front, one behind, one on the left and one on the right, like a white snake and a green snake.

It's simply a story about "The Legend of White Snake"!

If such a play is arranged, wouldn’t it be tailor-made for their sisters?

"The name is not good. I have bought your opera troupe. You will be mine in the future. I will give you a name. My sister is like a golden phoenix and her name is Fengxian, and her sister Wanruomingyue is Yuexian. From now on, you will perform the show I will arrange for you. How about it?"

Zhang Yanling suddenly realized that he was a little familiar with naming people.

It was a little fox before, but now it is a phoenix fairy and a moon fairy.

As for those in the southeast, southwest and northwest, they are not his "masterpieces".

Fengxian quickly pulled her sister to kneel down to Zhang Yanling and said, "I'm grateful to my uncle."

Zhang Yanling smiled and went to help him. This time, there was no need to avoid it. His hands directly touched the two women's arms. Looking at the pair of timid little beauties in front of him, how could he bear it?

"What else can you call the uncle? You will call the master in the future. You don't need to perform the later dramas today. There is a carriage outside. I will go home with me and I will tell you a good show."

Zhang Yanling suddenly thought of the dirty words that the unscrupulous elder brother wanted to give a good guidance in the room, and then realized that this statement was not false, and it was even a famous saying for watching the play.
