Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2483 Reconciliation 25.0

The final solution to this accident at the theater was to refund the money and provide compensation.

In fact, this was only natural and the only way to resolve the chaos, but the troupe owner and the theater owner were too greedy for profit, which led to this situation.

Now that all the silver had been returned to the people, their demands had been met and they naturally would not continue to block the theater. Under the guidance of the Shen family army, they left the theater in an orderly manner.

When Master Jiang and his men started distributing the silver, they had already left under the escort of the soldiers and shadows of the Shen family army. By the time Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and his party returned to the Duke's Mansion, the old men had already taken a nap.

"Boss!" Ying Wu came over to report after arranging everything. "Master Xiao and Master Qi said that it's already late today and everyone is tired. Master Wanyan, please have a good rest and we'll meet tomorrow."

"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, looked at the sky, it was already after curfew, sighed softly, and said, "Indeed, it's this late, let's talk about it tomorrow! Where are Second Grandpa and the others?"

"Qi Bo went back to the stables after dinner. Yan Bo and Qin Shuai have already gone to bed. The Second Master is waiting for you."

"Got it." Shen Cha nodded, "How is the class owner?"

"I heard he woke up. My second brother and I are going to go check it out. We're going to pry his mouth open tonight no matter what."

"Okay!" Shen Cha nodded, "Tell Mr. Mo to prepare a midnight snack for you. Just tell him what you want to eat."

"Okay!" Ying Wu responded, saluted to everyone, and skipped away.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this old man usually looks mature and steady, but when he heard that there was something delicious, he jumped up and down like a child."

"He is just a little kid. If he were in an ordinary family, he would still be able to act like a spoiled brat to his elders. But now," Shen Haolin sighed, "he only reveals his true nature when he hears that he can eat something delicious."

"That's right, brother." Shen Cha smiled and waved to the others, "Second Grandfather is still waiting for us, let's go!"

"You guys go ahead. I'm tired and I'm going to go back to sleep." Jin Miaomiao yawned and said goodbye to the others with a sleepy face. "I haven't slept well these past two days. I've been sleeping and waking up, waking up and sleeping all the time. Now I'm finally feeling sleepy. I have to go to bed quickly."

"go quickly!"

"We are leaving too. We have to be on duty tonight." Song Qiyun pulled Jin Jing and waved to the others, "When you come back from duty tomorrow, share the news you heard with us. I am also very interested in the origins of this daring musician."

"it is good!"

Shen Cha nodded and watched the few people walk away arm in arm. Then she held the hand that Shen Haolin extended and went into the flower hall with Xue Ruitian and Bai Meng.

Mr. Jiang had been waiting in the flower hall for a long time, but he didn't wait too long. Not long after Qi Bo and Qin Zheng left, he read a book and drank tea for a while, so he wasn't too bored.

"You're back?" Master Jiang looked at the people bowing and waved his hand, "How's the theater?" "It's all been handled. Everyone's money has been returned, and the compensation has been paid." Xue Ruitian sneered and said, "You won't know until you check, and you'll be shocked. He doesn't show off on weekdays, but he has such a big box of banknotes, two boxes of gold, seven or eight boxes of silver, and jewelry. He is really worth a lot! With such a fortune, the returned silver and compensation are just a drop in the bucket, and he is not happy about it. However, now that there is a commotion, he has to be happy whether he wants to or not. I'm afraid his high net worth will be confiscated completely."

"That's right." Mr. Jiang nodded, "He probably didn't expect this to happen." He looked at the people who had already packed up, "I was watching from a distance in the box today, and the boss looked familiar, but I don't know where I've seen him before."

"Come to think of it, Second Grandfather should have seen it." Shen Cha looked at Xue Ruitian, then at Bai Meng, winked at them, and motioned them to explain a little.

"I have seen?"

"Second Master has indeed seen it."

Xue Ruitian and Bai Meng looked at each other, and they explained the situation of the class owner in unison, and added some characteristics of the wool. After that, they looked at Master Jiang together, waiting for a reply from the old man.

"The musicians who were sent back to the Jiaofangsi?"

"Yes."

"Or was he castrated?"

"It has been verified, without a doubt."

"Musician, eunuch." Master Jiang touched his chin and thought for a long time before he said slowly, "There was indeed such a person beside the Empress Dowager back then, but he was indeed not very famous."

"So, you know each other?"

"I don't really know him, but I know a little bit about him." Master Jiang thought for a while, "This musician is called Mian Bai, and he is a musician himself. He was sent here by the Jiangnan Music Bureau when he was very young. Because he played the qin very well, the Empress Dowager loved him so much that she asked him to move from the Jiaofangsi to her palace. He was usually seen at the Empress Dowager's palace banquets, and he could be said to be a favorite of the Empress Dowager. However, after the Empress Dowager died, most of the people in the palace were dismissed. He was originally a member of the Jiaofangsi, so it was natural for him to be sent back to the Jiaofangsi, but because Concubine Hui liked his qin skills, she kept him in her palace. Later." He looked at the Shen Cha looked at Meilin again, "You are not young anymore, you know what you should know, and you should also know what you shouldn't know. These two people have been together for a long time, and they fell in love with each other and did things they shouldn't have done." He spread his hands, "When my brother was still alive, Concubine Hui was not favored, and she could not see my brother once a year. It's not difficult to understand why such a thing happened. But later, their affair was exposed and reported to the emperor's sister-in-law. As a result, Concubine Hui was placed under house arrest in the cold palace, and the musician was castrated and thrown back to the Jiaofangsi. But, I don't quite understand why he suddenly left the Jiaofangsi and hooked up with Mr. Ke."

"We have sent a message back to investigate this old incident. I estimate that there will be news in a few days. However," Shen Cha looked at Mr. Jiang, "he is related to the Qinglian Sect. From him to everyone in the troupe, they all have the totem of the Qinglian Sect on their bodies."

"The Green Lotus Sect?" Master Jiang shook his head gently. "He has nothing to do with the Green Lotus Sect. Back then, anyone in the Empress Dowager's palace had that totem on their bodies, because they used it to show that they were the Empress Dowager's people."

"So that's it?"

"Yes!" Mr. Jiang nodded. "Mian Bai has never been to the palace in his first half of his life, has never left Xijing City, and has never had contact with any outsiders. Therefore, there is no question of him being a follower of the Qinglian Sect. Moreover, there is the most important point."

"What is it?"

"A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its nest. The Empress Dowager never attacks those around her."
