Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2476 Reconciliation 18.0

When everyone arrived at the theater, it had already been controlled by Shen's army, all of whom were Shen Jiu's men who were responsible for patrolling the area.

When the soldiers saw Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, they saluted them and watched them walk into the theater.

Yingwu fell behind by a step and whispered a few words to the leading captain. The captain nodded, called a few men over, and asked them to do as Yingwu asked.

After Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao entered the theater, they took a look at the theater owner and the troupe who were under control in the yard, and went directly to the second floor to meet Mr. Jiang.

There were only two private rooms on the entire second floor, both of which were booked in advance by Master Jiang. Madam Ning and Sister Ning Cheng occupied one room, and Master Jiang and his old brothers occupied the other.

Each box was large enough to accommodate ten people to watch the show together. However, the box where Mr. Jiang was located seemed a little crowded because too many people came in later. However, when Xue Ruitian and Bai Meng came, Mr. San had already taken Ning Cheng, who came with them, to the next box to be with Old Madam Ning and Ning Cheng's sister.

"Second Grandfather!" Shen Cha stood at the door, looked at Second Grandfather Jiang who was sitting in the main seat, then looked at Qin Zheng and Yan Qibo beside him, and called them obediently, "Master, Yanbo, Qibo!"

"I'm here!" Master Jiang waved at Shen Cha, "I was just talking to Xiaotian and Xiaomeng. I'll wait for you two to deal with this matter. You understand the situation, right?"

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "I already know roughly what happened. It was caused by the theater and the troupe's refusal to return the money."

"Yes, what are you going to do about it?"

"Money back!"

"It's a good idea, but how do we do it?" Mr. Jiang looked at Shen Haolin, who had already greeted him. "If they wanted to withdraw, they would have done so long ago. They wouldn't have let the situation develop into what it is now, right?"

"Force is the best solution. Now the Shen family army has surrounded this place, and they have no way to retreat." Shen Haolin chuckled, "If they insist on not retreating, we can directly confiscate the troupe and the theater. Their gold, silver, jewelry, and banknotes can be used to offset these. If they don't have a priesthood, we can also give corresponding compensation to those who were deceived."

"You can do that, but have you ever thought about it? If you do that, they can say you are bullying others when they get out."

"What's the big deal, Second Grandfather?" Xue Ruitian yawned, chuckled, and said, "We can make public what they have done, write it into notices and post it at several city gates. We can also write to His Majesty and send this notice to the government offices of various prefectures in Daxia, so that they can also inform the people to be wary of this troupe that will cheat people of their money."

"You've thought of these things, which is great." Mr. Jiang looked at Qin Zheng, Yan Bo and Qi Bo. They all agreed with Shen Haolin's approach. "This is very appropriate. Just do as you think and let go."

"it is good."

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian and Bai Meng left the box. Meilin followed them, leaving Jin Jing and Jin Miaomiao to talk to the old people. They went next door to greet the Third Master and Old Madam Ning before going downstairs.

Yingwu was guarding the stairs. When he saw them coming down, he hurried over.

"According to what we agreed on before." Shen Cha sneered, "Take your men to interrogate the troupe owner and the theater owner, tell them that it's not too late to return the money now, and see what their attitude is. If they refuse to return the money, just rip them off."

"Yes!"

Yingwu agreed, and took a few shadow brothers to find the boss of the troupe and the owner of the theater. "Xiaowu looks like he wants to fight someone." Merlin couldn't help but complain, "It's fine if we can reach an agreement, but if not, they might beat them up. With their attitude, they won't have any problem even if they lose their lives, after all, saving their lives is more important."

"It's hard to say." Xue Ruitian shook his head gently. "We just asked around. The owner of this theater is indeed a bit cowardly. He is concerned about the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion and wants to refund the money for those who bought the tickets. But the owner of the troupe..." he sighed, "doesn't seem to care much about this and thinks we won't meddle in his business."

"Who is the troupe's boss? How can he be so bold?"

"If I tell you this, you may not believe it." Bai Meng raised his eyebrows at Shen Ao Lin and Shen Cha, "He was from the Jiaofangsi."

"Hmm?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Jiaofangsi?"

"Yes, it is the Jiaofangsi."

"If I remember correctly, once you enter the Jiaofangsi, you are not allowed to leave for the rest of your life, even if there is a general amnesty, right?"

"Yes!" Shen Haolin sneered, "This is good. Escaping from the Jiaofangsi privately, there is one more crime to be charged with." He looked at Bai Meng, "Who is it? Do we know each other?"

"You probably don't know him," Song Qiyun walked over slowly from the direction of the stage and greeted everyone, "He was a not-so-famous musician when our father was still alive. I don't know what he did wrong, but he was demoted to the Jiaofang Division."

"You asked?"

"I have just interrogated him. The theater owner advocated returning the money, but the troupe owner firmly disagreed. His attitude was very tough. He was even more arrogant than me!" Song Qiyun sneered, "He keeps saying that he has a background and is not afraid of offending people. He can handle it."

"Carry it?" Xue Ruitian sighed, "This guy, once he's been in the palace for a few days, he doesn't even know his last name or name. Since he wants to carry it, let's fulfill his wish and let him carry it. Let's see if he can withstand Lao Wu's whip."

"Brother Xiaotian is right. Beating is the most effective way to deal with this kind of people." Song Qiyun looked at everyone, "I just saw Lao Wu and told him to beat him hard. As long as he doesn't kill him and leaves him a breath, it will be fine."

"well done."

"Where are you guys going?" Song Qiyun looked at everyone, "Are you going to see Mr. Ke?"

"Yes, let's meet this Mr. Ke and see what charm he has that makes these people spend so much money just to see him."

"I didn't see it anyway."

"Old Lu said before that he would not cause trouble in his own garden, so as not to ruin his reputation. After what happened today." Shen Cha raised her eyebrows slightly, "I'm afraid his reputation will be ruined, right?"

"That's right. If this gets out of hand, I'm afraid he won't be able to perform in the future." Xue Ruitian nodded and looked around. "Shall we go?"

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha nodded, exchanged glances with Bai Meng, and took Song Qiyun and Meilin with them, crossing the yard to the stage where Mr. Ke and the troupe were accommodated.
