Lian Beichuan looked downstairs through the window of the office building and saw Gu Qingdai's figure gradually disappearing. He felt that her straight waist was too straight, just like her.
Huo Jie helped him organize all the documents on the big red sandalwood case, lowered his eyes and smiled quietly: "I thought shopkeeper Gu was here to make peace with the second master."
The clock on the wall rang suddenly, and Lian Beichuan turned around to look at the time, "She was just trying to trick me."
"Why doesn't she know how to be afraid?"
"She is determined that as long as the treasure map does not show up, those people will not dare to attack her easily."
"Who could be the person who sneaked into her room?"
The traitors are in the dark, they are in the open, how easy is it to catch them?
Lian Beichuan thought for a long time and said, "The Zhong Family Theater Troupe is having a good show today. Let's go over and see the excitement."
Huo Jie immediately went to arrange carriages and horses, and the master and servant quickly drove to Zhong's Theater.
Tonight it's Zhong Ling's turn to take the stage, and her tickets have been sold out several days ago.
There were many moviegoers outside the theater who had not bought tickets. They were noisy and vented their dissatisfaction, and some even considered breaking the doors and windows.
Even Beichuan came to the theater on an impromptu basis. He walked into the theater easily without a ticket.
The waiter even wanted to give up the front row seat facing the stage to Lian Beichuan, but he repeatedly said that it was not necessary, so he finally chose a seat slightly off.
It's still early before Zhong Ling comes on stage, but the musical instrument masters on the side of the stage have already played the huqin and drums to prepare for the warm-up.
"Which play will Boss Zhong sing today?" Lian Beichuan asked the waiter who served him tea and water.
The waiter placed the tea and food one by one and responded with a silly smile: "It's "Baihua Pavilion", Boss Zhong's famous work."
Huo Jie took out a handful of silver coins and rewarded them to the waiter. He smiled so hard that he bent down and asked Lian Beichuan if he had any other orders.
Lian Beichuan raised his head and looked at a person not far away, "Let that young man know that I am coming to our theater."
Those who can work as waiters on such occasions are all smart people. Immediately he understood what Lian Beichuan meant, and Ma Liuer went to do it.
Huo Jie poured a cup of tea for Lian Beichuan, "Second Master guessed that Na Wen would be here."
"No matter what he does, he has to be praised by his sweetheart, right?"
"Qian'er just slapped my sweetheart in the face at our store, can you please just come here to show your support?"
The two of them were talking back and forth, and the other end of the stage was already bustling with singing.
Lian Beichuan was not very interested in opera. A few years ago, his father sent him to the provincial capital to study, and he was exposed to silent films for a while.
He likes the way movies are played, but the sources are basically translated from foreign countries.
He is somewhat resistant to Western culture.
Most places in the provincial capital have been connected to electric lights and telephones, and some cars can also be seen driving on the roads.
Compared with the provincial capital, Luancheng is still in a backward stage, which reminded him of the thought-provoking sentence: "Learn from the foreigners and develop skills to control the foreigners."
Lian Beichuan's thoughts were brought back by waves of applause. Huo Jie had paid him two rewards.
Lian Beichuan, who was usually not stingy, felt a little distressed. He felt that it would be more practical to give these rewards to the homeless little beggars outside.
"Second Master, if you hear it, that guy is pretty good at it."
Huo Jie stood up straightly and bowed to Na Wen.
"Butler Huo, you're welcome."
After hearing that Huo Jie played an important role in Lian's business, all the Lian clan members, including Lian Yuchuan, had to step aside.
Lian Beichuan deliberately ignored Na Wen, pretending to be immersed in the opera and unable to extricate himself.
Na Wen opened her mouth several times, but could not speak to Lian Beichuan.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment of Nawen, Huo Jie gave up his seat for him and started chatting again.
"Second Master, are you not in high spirits today?" Na Wen couldn't bear it any longer and asked Huo Jie in a low voice.
Although he was hanging out with Fan Zheng, there was no reason why he didn't even say hello to Beichuan when he met him.
And he also has selfish motives...
Huo Jie leaned on the edge of the table and moved closer to Na Wen, as if he didn't dare to let Lian Beichuan hear.
"Second Master had a big argument with shopkeeper Gu today."
If Wen's body trembled, could it have something to do with him?
In fact, after he returned home that day and told his father about it, his father scolded him for not making the decision without permission to test Gu Qingdai.
It was true that Na Hongtao held the position of deputy county magistrate, but he could not make the decision at all in many matters, and was often forced to drag himself into troubled waters and had to collude with him.
Na Wen just wanted to help his father and see if he could get any clues from Gu Qingdai. He didn't want his father to always be humble in front of some people.
Huo Jie could see that he was very uneasy, "The deputy county magistrate originally asked our second master for that matter. You also know how many shops were searched that night. Not only the Xingshi Teahouse family was dissatisfied with our second master."
Na Wen felt even more aggrieved because it was his father who requested Lian Beichuan, but it was not his father who made Lian Beichuan a problem.
Who asked Lian Beichuan to become the president of the Chamber of Commerce?
Everyone knows that it is a good job, with status and power, who can not be jealous and who can be convinced?
When it happened that Li Zheng was escaping, some people wanted Lian Beichuan to intervene.
It would be best to catch Li Zheng. If not, let Lian Beichuan complain, killing two birds with one stone.
"Other shops are fine, but Gu Qingdai is a tough guy. The Lion Dance Teahouse is about to close down, so the incident at the stall is all the fault of the second master. It must be that we disrupted her business."
When he heard this, he responded with a "hmm" and took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
"Our second master is also very kind-hearted. It is not easy for her to be a female prostitute, so I can help her as much as possible."
Even Beichuan felt embarrassed after hearing this. Huo Jie's compliments became more and more abundant.
He suddenly thought of Gu Qingdai and guessed that if she heard this, she would have to fight with Huo Jie.
"You revealed the inside story to that lie. She thought it was our second master who said something unfavorable to her to the deputy county magistrate. Can she not come to make trouble with the second master?"
"It's my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." Nawen regretted not listening to his father earlier.
Lian Beichuan suddenly clicked his tongue, as if he was disturbed by their conversation.
Huo Jie glanced at Lian Beichuan and closed his mouth in a fake voice.
Lian Beichuan picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea, then spat out the tea foam in his mouth into the basin, "Then the deputy county magistrate didn't doubt Gu Qingdai, but did he doubt me?"
Nawen sat less than half of the armchair, his upper body slightly bowed and turned towards Lian Beichuan, "Absolutely not! How is that possible!"
"I was the one who let the wanted criminal go?"
Lian Beichuan slandered, I was the one who let him go. If you hadn't been so vicious, Li Zheng might have survived.
The smell gives people the feeling of wanting to avoid disaster but being unable to avoid it.
His legs were trembling secretly, he glanced nervously at the seat next to him, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Nawen saw a ruthless character who often made things difficult for his father and frequently bribed his father.
If Lian Beichuan is said to be a ruthless person, at least he is using his fists and feet within the rules and regulations.
But this ruthless character dares to step on all rules and regulations.
He is the leader of the Cao Gang in Luancheng, Song Yueting.
On the territory of Luancheng, Caobang has existed since the late period of the previous dynasty.
It seems unfair to say that they committed all kinds of evil. After all, they had done a lot of robbing the rich and giving to the poor in the early years.
But precisely because the Caobang became more and more lawless, in order to compete with it, Luancheng established the Chamber of Commerce.
Song Yueting and Lian Beichuan have not officially met each other so far, but how can they not be familiar with each other?
After Lian Beichuan had finished hammering Nawen, he changed the topic: "How are you and Boss Zhong doing lately?"
"That's it." Nawen's mind was so messed up that he almost forgot about Zhong Ling.
In the blink of an eye, Zhong Ling had finished singing several scenes. She changed out of her costume and walked toward them with her makeup still on.
"Son, Mr. Zhong, isn't it because he came to see you when he stepped down?" Huo Jie stood by and was full of curiosity.
He was a little confused by the news, and just as he was about to stand up to greet him, he saw Zhong Ling passing by him with trembling flowers.
"Mr. Song, the flower baskets you sent are so many that we can't even place them backstage." This chapter has been completed!
