Chapter 286

Although Jiao Haiqing is lazy on weekdays, once he decides to do something, he will become quite meticulous.

Since he decided to help Wei Renshi form a sea boat caravan, he had to carefully consider the plan. He stayed at Wei Renshi's house that night and returned to Weinan early the next morning, preparing to entrust the affairs of the coal yard to Lin Sumian.

Lin Sumian is also one of the shareholders of Weinan Coal Farm, and his abilities are beyond doubt.

The day after Jiao Haiqing left, Wei Renshi was changing the story to Yin Qingfeng's teahouse, the concierge came to report that there were two people who didn't know outside and asked to see Wei Renshi and said that they were performing.

Wei Renshi put down his pen and asked the doorman to take them into the main hall. He told Xier who was grinding the ink in the study to not clean up first, then left the study and went to the front hall.

That day the Ranger stood inside with a handsome man.

"Is this Mr. Cheng?" Wei Renshi asked.

"It's just that, the grass-roots people." Cheng Fuduan bowed and said.

"I want to ask Mr. to stay at home these few days, prepare for it, and then sing a play." Wei Renshi said: "I don't know if Mr. is willing?"

"I dare to ask what will the Lord be listening to?" Cheng Fuduan asked.

"It's the 200th anniversary of Qin City." Wei Renshi said: "I'm going to invite a guest to listen to your play."

Cheng Fuduan nodded and said, "The grass people need two days to prepare, but the grass people have never brought anything..."

"Now that Li Shiman Chang'an wants to capture you, don't go out again." Wei Renshi said: "What do you need? Tell me where I will send someone to get it for you."

"Thank you for your kindness, but Cao Min's things may not be able to get them." Cheng Fuduan said: "The place where Cao Min lived had been found long ago, and all the things inside were smashed. If Brother Ren had not taken the initiative to rescue him, Cao Min would have been arrested that day."

"It's okay, just write down what you need, and I'll send my servants out to buy it for you." Wei Renshi said.

Cheng Fuduan bowed and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Caomin! However, Caomin is offending Jingzhao Yin Li Shi. He has a high position and power, so I am afraid that Jue Yu will not be good. Jue Yu is grateful for Jue's kindness, but Caomin is unwilling to implicate others. Jue Yu should let Caomin leave."

Wei Renshi looked at him and saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, but he had a desire to die in his eyes, so he said, "Do you know who the guests I invited?"

"Caomin listened to his brother and was the Prince of Guangling." Cheng Fuduan said: "But Li Shi is also the prince and holds an important position. Even if the young prince is willing, he will be powerless."

After all, he was not a person in the court. He had only heard of the Prince of Guangling, but he did not know that the Prince of Guangling was the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Wei Renshi shook his head and said, "I invite the person who listens to you singing this play is the current prince."

Cheng Fuduan was stunned.

Wei Renshi had already raised his hand to call the servants and asked the servants to take Cheng Fudu to the guest room, and asked him to help Cheng Fudu prepare what he needed.

Cheng Fuduan lived in Wei Renshi's house, and Wei Renshi also sent someone to inform Li Chun.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Chun indeed accompanied Li Song to Wei Renshi's house.

"I welcome the crown prince, but I didn't expect that the crown prince suddenly came. I was wrong to welcome him. Please forgive me." Wei Renshi saw Li Song, looked unexpected, and said with a salute.

"The man in Wei County doesn't have to be too polite." Li Song waved his hand and said, "The man in Wei County did not inform him in advance. It's just that Chun'er didn't ask the man to come here today, but he didn't know what happened."

"Father forgives me. The child begged his father here today to let his father listen to a play." Li Chun bowed and said: "The child should have asked the man from Wei County to take the actor to the East Palace to sing for his father, but now the actor is not allowed to go out. Once he goes out, he may not be able to reach the East Palace. Therefore, he dared to beg his father to come here in person."

Li Song frowned and said, "Listen to the opera? Chun'er, what's the matter?"

Li Chun bent down deeper and said, "Please listen to the opera first!"

Li Song looked at Li Chun and Wei Renshi.

Wei Renshi sighed and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, I know the intention of Prince Guangling. After all his efforts, please ask Your Highness to explain in detail."

"Tell me." Li Song nodded.

Wei Renshi replied: "A few days ago, my ministers and Prince Guangling came out of the Jinwu Guard. When they passed by the street, they found that the officers of Jingzhao Prefecture and the soldiers of the Zuo Jinwu Guard patrol the streets were chasing one. But they did not catch up. Later, when the officers and princes of the soldiers left, the man had hidden himself. When the person who pursued him left, he appeared again and was caught by Prince Guangling. The Prince Guangling immediately wanted to keep him and wait for the officers to come back to arrest people."

"That man turned out to be a wanderer, but in order to save an actor, he led his officers and soldiers away." Wei Renshi continued: "I only knew that the actor was named Cheng Fuduan. Because of a play, he was captured by King Yin Sidao of Jingzhao. The wanderer could not see it, so he helped Cheng Fuduan. Prince Guangling asked His Highness to come in person today, probably to let His Highness listen to the play with his own ears!"

"What kind of opera is it? Why did the actor caught by King Sidao be at the man's house in Wei County?" Li Song browed even tighter and asked.

"Father will know after hearing this!" Li Chun bowed and said.

Li Song looked at the two of them and said, "Since that's the case, let's listen."

Wei Ren left the main hall with court and asked the servants to call Cheng Fuduan to put on makeup.

"Chun'er, what do you mean? Why don't you tell me directly?" Li Song asked.

Li Chun saluted again and replied: "Father, have you ever seen a group of people fighting for a dead man who had just died, and he would fight and tear the dead man into pieces?"

Li Song shook his head and said, "What's the matter with the death?"

"Eat! Father!" Li Chun suddenly became excited: "In order to eat a bite of dead meat, they fought for it like crazy!"

"What?!" Li Song was shocked: "Chun'er, what exactly are you going to do?!"

Li Chun told Li Song about the situation he met You Xia'er that day and heard Cheng Fuduan's opera, and went to Weinan to read it with his own eyes.

When Li Song heard that the official road heading to Weinan was full of refugees, and there were rotten corpses starving to death on the side of the road, he was even more surprised and asked: "Refugees? If there were so many refugees, why wouldn't there be one outside Chang'an City?"
