Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1127: Reported on backhand

Zhou Ao walked leisurely to the theater with his servants as usual.

He is very fond of watching theater now.

When talking about this opera, we cannot avoid the general who conquered the north, because in fact, it was through the general's words that this opera was finally formed and presented to the world.

Originally, there were only some Baixiang events in this northern land, most of which were wrestling, juggling, and the like, with occasional singing and dancing. Most of them were derived from ancient events and Hu people's customs.

However, Chen Zhi took the time to give suggestions for improvement, and combined the storytellers in the streets and alleys, combined the simple juggling and dance music to form a set of song and dance products that can tell stories, which is really impressive. Intoxicated.

In this generation, all the people in the county, from the nobles to the common people, are very fond of it.

For a person with a certain status like Zhou Ao, of course, he would not sit in the open air on the street like ordinary people, listening to the performers, and then turn around and become opera singers, so he would go to this theater Come here.

After walking in, many people along the way greeted him, including those from wealthy families, which made Zhou Ao feel very vain, but he still knew how to speak his tone, so he nodded in a pretentious manner and walked towards Lao Zuo. .

However, before I got there, I noticed that there were a lot more people in the venue today than usual, and the expressions of each of them were quite strange. They didn't look like those theater friends in the past, and they were not calm. , more cramped.

But looking at the clothes of these people, he guessed that they were from out of town, and Zhou Ao knew it. He thought they were arty people who came here, so he didn't take it to heart and sat down minding his own business.

Immediately, a boy served me fruits and tea.

Zhou Ao was eating, leisurely and contentedly, waiting for the show to start.

But soon, several people nearby came over and saluted him.

"I've met Captain Zhou."

"Do you recognize me?" Zhou Ao looked at the people approaching and couldn't help frowning. When he was listening to plays, he often met such people, but he was quite unhappy because it not only affected his own interest , what he said is more demanding, and it makes people feel utilitarian.

Those few people also heard Zhou Ao's unhappiness, but they had to bite the bullet and come forward. However, they did not dare to say anything else. They just revealed their identities first and then asked Zhou Ao for help.

"What you did before, in my opinion, is little more than collaboration with the enemy. Now that you can save your life, it's already good. It's really surprising that you still want to return to Dai County to continue doing business. You don't have a single thought in your heart." Points?"

"Captain, you misunderstood me and waited." The one who was pushed out to speak for everyone was the one who suggested it first. Said: "We actually know that there was a mistake first, but you can tell with conscience, how many people in Youzhou at that time felt that the situation was over, and our family in Daijun still wants to join the name, please take it back as an order Is it normal for us to be afraid, and besides, our original intention was not to help the enemy, but to go to other places in Youzhou to try to sell, but the things were seized, so we were in a dilemma."

"My mouth is on your face. Whatever you want to say, I really don't care. But if you put away this rhetoric, it is useless here. I am here just to listen to the show and don't care about other things. If you I really feel that I have been wronged. In a little while, the general will come to Dai County in person. You can tell me and see how the general arranges it."

After saying that, he stopped paying attention to everyone and just listened to the play by himself.Several people around looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but they had no choice but to give up.

But this time they didn't get anything, but everyone was very angry, thinking about how to find a breakthrough, one by one became more and more worried, and after returning, they gathered here to discuss countermeasures.

Just talking about it, but there is still no clue, so I have to let it go.

But that night, someone secretly found the place where several merchants were staying.

"Guys, we know your troubles, and we have a good thing to do for you, so don't worry. If it comes to pass, you will definitely get something for all the things you squeezed. If it doesn't come to pass, you will gain something, at least not It will make you lose all your money, how about that?"

Looking at the man wrapped tightly under the dim light, and listening to his words, several merchants couldn't help but hesitate.

If the other party is so sneaky, no one will believe it if they say there is no problem. But rather than worrying about this, they also want to find a way out for their own goods, so after summing up, they still recommend one person to negotiate.

"I don't know what you are proposing. Let me make it clear first. If you want to harm the interests of Youzhou, please forgive me for not following it." The merchant came up and made the bottom line clear.

The man smiled and replied: "Of course, there are still people who want to be enemies with Youzhou now? Youzhou is so powerful, and the Xuanjia Army is so powerful, even the Xiongnu Wancheng country cannot resist it, let alone Others? What we want is nothing more than to be able to live a stable life. Of course, I am not helping you today for no reason. I want to wait for you to get permission in front of the general, so that you can speak to the general and do more business. It would be better if we don't have to go out in force to give our surrounding forces a way to survive."

When the merchants heard this, they became frightened and shook their heads: "How can I dare to say something like this? You'd better hire someone else!"

The man said: "Don't panic, everyone. I'm not asking you to be so straightforward. I just hope that in front of the general, I can talk more about the merchants' advantages and remind the general that these two secluded states still need development."

After hearing this, a group of merchants immediately made various speculations, thinking that who was probably a spy from the surrounding forces. Because they were shocked by the combat power of the Xuanjia Army, they wanted to come here to promote the atmosphere and prevent the Xuanjia Army from returning. , the soldiers pointed to the surrounding area.

If that's the case, it's not impossible.

So the leader of the merchant said: "We still need to discuss it, so why not give you an answer tomorrow night."

When the man saw it, he showed a satisfied look, said goodbye and left.

But what they didn't know was that as soon as their people left, the leader of the merchants said with excitement: "I didn't expect that there would be such a turning point when we were at the end of the road!"

When others saw this, they couldn't help but say: "Do you really want to speak up for this person?"

"You are confused!" The leader laughed, "I'm not going to say anything. This person is sneaky and must be a gangster. It's time to report him and expose him to prove our loyalty. Isn't he a good person?" How to argue? Besides, Youzhou just issued a policy to report thieves not long ago, and there are rewards to be obtained, isn't it wonderful?"
