Although Zhu Di didn't agree on the spot, it didn't stop him from bragging about Boyi as soon as he left the restaurant.
I heard that a wealthy family in Zhongdu City offered them twenty taels of silver to act in a play. The young ones were all shocked.
Not to mention extortion on the street, even robbery on the road is not so profitable!
So there was a flood of flattery, saying that he was great, and the brothers would definitely not embarrass Mr. Er, Si and Liu.
"Work hard, and I'll ensure that you enjoy the hot and spicy food!" Zhu Di has already taken the lead as a big brother, and has begun to show the style of a master of cake painting: "Follow the brothers, the good days are still to come!"
The younger brothers carried the three brothers to the gate of the county town, watching their bullock cart disappear into the dusk, and then dispersed.
Either he went to make money, or he went to find a sweetheart, but he never came home.
Zhang Hu didn't go home either. He refused the invitation of his brothers and walked around the streets alone. He changed his clothes somewhere and entered the county government office through the back door when it was dark.
~~
In the signing room, Han Yike was reading at night.
Chang Sui called out and led Zhang Hu in.
"County Honorable Lord." Zhang Hu bowed respectfully.
"Well, get up." Han Yike put down the book, looked at Zhang Hu and said, "The errand was done well."
"Thank you so much for the compliment, county magistrate." Zhang Hu hurriedly said with a smile.
It is true that he is a local snake in this county, but he has long been surrendered by the iron fist of feudalism in Hanzhi County.
It was Han Yike who arranged for him and his brothers to get close to several princes.
Otherwise, those two bully gangsters would not dare to challenge the Zhu brothers, whose cup sizes are larger than their mothers', even if they are brave enough to do so.
Neither Han Yike nor Zhang Hu expected the plot to develop so bizarrely. In less than two months, the underworld turned into the Hong family class.
"Hey, all the Hong family brothers are talented, let's just say the sixth brother, who is so young, can actually write plays. Not to mention the fourth master, he is an outstanding person and actor. I think the Hong family class will be able to do it in the future.
Become the best opera troupe in Ming Dynasty."
"Hahahaha!" Han Yike couldn't help laughing loudly as if he had heard the funniest joke. What a messy development this is!
He is a dignified prince. If he doesn't go out of town, why don't he join you as an actor in a troupe?
But Zhang Hu couldn't understand why the county magistrate would smile like this and become the best opera troupe in Ming Dynasty. Is it so funny?
After a while, Han Yike stopped laughing and asked, "How is your relationship now? Do the Hong brothers completely trust you?"
"No problem, I'm fine." Zhang Hu nodded and said with mixed feelings, "It's just that Brother Hong has almost turned my people into his."
"That's a good thing. We need to open up the situation and follow others wholeheartedly. You will definitely thank me in the future." Han Yike persuaded him meaningfully, and then said in a deep voice:
"That's almost it. Can we give them the man in the prison?"
"Almost." Zhang Hu tensed up and nodded heavily. This was the real purpose of the county magistrate letting him get close to the Hong brothers.
It's just that Zhang Hu didn't understand. The county magistrate only dared to disguise that person as a prisoner and hide her. What's the use of handing her over to the Hong brothers?
Fortunately, that's not something he should worry about.
"The day after tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to take him out of the city, and then you will do this and this..." I heard the county magistrate give this order.
~~
After explaining to Zhang Hu and carefully asking about the current situation of the Hong brothers, Han Yike asked him to leave.
After a long yawn, Magistrate Han was about to go back to his room to sleep, when his supervisor came in again and reported that Mr. Luo was here.
"Hey, no one is coming, no one is coming, no one is coming." Han Yike complained, but still asked the chief to invite him in.
He had long understood that if Master could invite Luo Guanzhong to Beijing, it meant that the Zhejiang Party and even the old troops of King Cheng like Luo Guanzhong had passed the most dangerous stage.
The very fact of inviting Luo Guanzhong to Beijing was probably Master sending a safety signal to the outside world.
So there is no need for him to be as careful as last time.
As soon as Luo Guanzhong entered the door, he almost tripped over the threshold and fell.
"Mr. Guanzhong, watch your step." Chang Sui quickly supported him, and Han Yike said: "Your eyesight is not good, why do you come to the door at night?"
"If I don't come and scold you, I won't be able to sleep tonight!" Luo Guanzhong pointed at the official uniform hanger hanging next to Han Yike and cursed:
"You are going too far. I just asked your master and apprentice to see if they can help publish it! I didn't ask you to take out my master's book and trash it!"
"Don't be anxious yet." Han Yike waved his hand, motioning for Chang Sui to go first, then turned Luo Guanzhong's finger towards him and said: "I have heard about them playing "Water Margin". But I swear to you,
I definitely haven’t leaked anything, and I only briefly watched it once, but I can’t remember it that clearly.”
"That's what your master leaked. He teaches in Dabentang, and Brother Six is his student." Luo Guanzhong said angrily.
"My teacher is unlikely to do such a thing. How many friends correct his manuscripts every year? How could he make such a mistake?" Han Yike looked at him with a half-smile and said:
"Besides, the poster for every performance clearly states that the original author is Shi Naian. And I also went to listen to it once in casual clothes. They didn't follow the novel exactly, but made a lot of changes.
A major adaptation has completely broken away from the scope of the novel."
"Adaptation is not random editing!" Luo Guanzhong said angrily.
Of course he had every reason to be angry. His master's painstaking work had not yet been published, but a few boys had randomly altered it...
"Brother Guanzhong, are you angry with them for not adding your name?" Han Yike asked heartbroken.
"You, you fart!" Luo Guanzhong almost fainted from anger. "Are I the kind of person who covets fame?"
"Hahaha, I'm just joking." Han Yike smiled and pulled him to sit down, then poured tea for Luo Guanzhong and said, "Let's talk about business, someone invited them to sing in an opera."
Luo Guanzhong was so angry because of Han Yike's push that he could only ask gloomily:
"Is it a goatee?"
"Oh? How did you know..." Han Yike looked at Luo Guanzhong in surprise, thinking that his shortsightedness was not simple.
"Fish have their own ways, shrimps have their own way, I have my own way." Luo Guanzhong said proudly, but his eyes were narrowed like two chrysanthemums, which really has nothing to do with the demeanor of a celebrity. "Don't underestimate us who write novels!
"
"So, do you know this goatee?" Han Yike asked tentatively.
"Yes, his real name is unknown. His pseudonym is Shi Chenglu. He is one of the four guardians of the Ming Cult and is responsible for the general affairs of the Ming Cult." Luo Guanzhong is indeed a god - he is extraordinary and knows everything about the Ming Cult.
"They won't notice anything, right?" Han Yike asked with a frown.
"No, who would have thought that a dignified prince would perform on the street?" Luo Guanzhong smiled bitterly and shook his head. Maybe this kind of thing could only happen if a beggar became an emperor.
I really don’t know whether this is Tsunasa’s downfall or a total loss of dignity?
