Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2475 Reconciliation 17.0

Hearing Shen Cha's complaint, Shen Haolin smiled and shook her hand.

"In fact, think about it, aren't there people who are more shameless than him who are still alive? Although they have suffered retribution, they still lived for many years, right?"

"That's different." Shen Cha knew who Shen Haolin was talking about as soon as she heard it. She shook her head slightly, looked at Jin Miaomiao who agreed with her, and raised her eyebrows at Shen Haolin, "See, Miaomiao and I think the same thing."

"It's true that they are different. Although they are more selfish, shameless, and cruel, they only do this to people around them or those with the same or lower status as them. They can bully others, but they will never offend people in high positions, right?" Jin Miaomiao saw Shen Haolin nod, and continued, "They only flatter those who are higher in status and more powerful than them. They have shown this to the fullest in Linhuang Prefecture over the years."

"That's right." Shen Cha passed by the shopkeeper's shop and saw that it was also closed. She shook her head helplessly, "And this Mr. Ke, he won't bully others, nor will he offend people who are the same as him or slightly worse than him, but he will madly offend those wealthy families, and even the palace. I thought it was incredible when I heard it at first. I thought he would get drunk at the palace banquet. Maybe he was too nervous and used drinking to cover up his emotions. He drank too much without knowing it, so he got drunk and couldn't control himself. This is also understandable. But the facts prove that this is not the case at all. It feels like what Lao Lu said, he is courting death. If someone really wants to deal with him, it seems to be playing into his hands." She looked at Jin Miaomiao, then at Shen Haolin, "Isn't it?"

"We have seen similar situations before." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, "Do you remember Uncle Lang? He cursed at the gate of the Duke's Mansion every day and threw firecrackers at the Marquis' Mansion, all for the purpose of redressing the grievances of his family."

"Brother, do you mean that Mr. Ke did the same thing as Uncle Lang?" Shen Cha thought for a moment and shook his head. "It's unlikely. Like Old Lu said, General Shu had already sent the man to Jingzhao Prefecture and had been detained for several days. If there was any injustice, he should have said it long ago. There's no need to continue doing it."

"Don't think too much about it. It feels like courting death. He should think it's exciting. He also has something to rely on. He knows that many people like him. He hasn't done anything wrong. To put it bluntly, it's just misconduct or frivolous behavior. At most, he will be beaten with a stick. It won't endanger his life at all. That's why he keeps doing it again and again. He should be enjoying it very much."

"Ok!"

Shen Cha wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped and grabbed Shen Haolin. The moment they stopped, Ying Wu landed silently in front of them.

“Duke, Boss!” Ying Wu nodded to Jin Miaomiao and looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. “Something happened in the theater. Mr. Ke was beaten!”

"Were you beaten?" Jin Miaomiao looked at him curiously, "What happened?"

"Talking as we walk."

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao quickened their pace, and Ying Wu followed closely behind them.

"There are so many of our people in the theater, how can we not control it?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Are Second Grandpa and the others okay?"

"Second Master and the others are all safe. They are all in the private room with guards at the door. Those troublemakers know their limits and dare not enter. When the fight was at its worst, the Marquis and the commander-in-chief arrived, followed by the shadows. Only then did they separate the people who were fighting. Mr. Ke had injuries on his face and body, and the people in his troupe were also injured. It is impossible for them to go on stage in the short term. They need to rest for a while." "Who are those troublemakers?"

"They are all ordinary people in our city who want to see the style of the Ke family." Ying Wu sighed, "If this matter happened in other places, I'm afraid it would have to be handled by the local government. In our place, the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion will have to step in."

"Is it because of the theater ticket money?"

"Yes!" Ying Wu sighed, "In addition to a few fixed boxes that are reserved all year round, the scattered seats in the theater are usually not full. But isn't this the first time that Mr. Ke and his troupe come to our place to watch a play? So, on the first day when the news spread, many people went to buy seats. However, the owner of the troupe and the owner of the theater said that the highest bidder will win, and each seat has a different price. We won't know who will get the seat until the day of the performance."

"Oh, isn't this just taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail?" Jin Miaomiao sneered, "That's it, so why are they flocking to it?"

"Yes." Ying Wu nodded. "Even so, there are still a lot of people flocking to it. Many people are hoping to get a bargain. What if the competition isn't fierce?"

"You can tell with your toes that this is impossible." Jin Miaomiao sighed helplessly, "They willingly accepted this unfairness, but in the end they were not satisfied with the result. By the way, did they pay before?"

"We've already paid, so we're fighting." Ying Wu sighed, "Because we can't get the money we paid back, that's why we're fighting."

"What do you mean?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "What's going on? If you can't watch the show, you should return the money. Why do you keep it for yourself?"

"Yes, the theater owner and the troupe owner refused to withdraw, saying that there was no reason or practice to do so."

"Is the owner of the theater the one with the surname Lan?"

"Yes!" Ying Wu nodded. "Before I came out, I had the brothers control the people, tie them up and throw them in the yard, including the owner of the opera troupe, who was also tied up and let the brothers watch. As for those who were causing trouble, they were also stopped. After all, they are all victims. Find a place to put them and let them reflect on why they didn't report to the Duke's Mansion or the Marquis' Mansion in advance when such a thing happened. If they feel embarrassed, there are so many brothers patrolling every day. Just find someone to talk to and let us deal with it. It will be much better than a group fight now."

"Indeed, we have been very busy these days and have not had time for this." Shen Cha sighed, "I thought before that a troupe of actors could not cause any trouble, but something happened. By the way." She looked at Ying Wu, "Isn't Mr. Ke the owner of the troupe?"

"No." Ying Wu shook his head gently. "He is the mainstay of the troupe. Although he has the final say, it is limited to what plays to perform and what songs to sing. He has no control over other things. Therefore, the troupe owner is someone else. I just took a look and the troupe owner has a treacherous look on his face. He is not a good person at first glance."
