Chapter 36: Lightness is missing
"And according to the soldiers who investigated, he saw a familiar face in those opera troupes, who were people around the Xinhuang, so I suspect that these opera troupes are plotting against each other."
"But nothing is absolutely true. Mr. Zhu please consider it yourself, be cautious and cautious."
Zhu Lin frowned. How many opera troupes? Kaifeng's gourd city has not yet fully developed. The only one that can be regarded as an entertainment venue is Zhao Qian who took him to. If the news about Zhao Kuangyin was not wrong, then there are dozens of opera troupes in this gourd city, who are from the royal family.
And there was one thing Zhu Lin was very concerned about, that was what he felt before he was drunk, and someone was monitoring him. Since wearing the astrological jade, Zhu Lin's sixth sense has become extremely sensitive. He can be sure that someone was monitoring him at that time, but with Zhu Lin's strength, he has not found where that person was. This monitor is not simple.
It is obvious that the power of the Later Zhou Dynasty is divided into three stocks. The first and most powerful one is Zhao Kuangyin. The second stock is Zhao Kuangyin's opponent, the governor of the six counties, and the third stock is very insignificant. Although the people in the Xinhuang are small, they can bite the elephant to death with too many ants. Zhu Lin cannot be careless.
Zhu Lin had exposed his abilities in front of the royalists' faction. They must have noticed themselves. At this time, they would be afraid that they would alert the enemy. Zhu Lin closed his eyes and moved the spell in his mind. After a moment, his appearance turned into an ordinary man.
This kind of appearance belongs to the appearance that will never be remembered by people, a standard passerby face. Zhu Lin nodded with satisfaction. He used the magic of killer assassinating Zhao Kuangyin that day, hid his entire body, and then secretly left the Zhao mansion.
The changes in the atmosphere in Kaifeng have caused a lot of fewer people to watch the show in Goulangwa City. Zhu Lin temporarily transformed his clothes into clothes worn by civilians. He walked slowly into Goulangwa City.
In the letter, Zhao Kuangyin listed several opera troupes to him, which he suspected. Zhu Lin found a seat and walked in casually. This was a railing that was many times larger than the one on the light side. It seemed that the scale of this opera troupe was very large.
The young actor at the door saw Zhu Lin and walked over very kindly. Zhu Lin gave Xiao Sheng a few copper coins. Xiao Sheng happily took it and then called him into the railing. There were already many people sitting in the railing. Zhu Lin was lucky and the opera was about to begin.
The layout of this railing is similar to that of the light side. The only difference is that there are a lot more seats here than the light side and the stage is much bigger.
Zhu Lin asked the person beside him who was about to listen to the opera: "Brother, which opera are you going to sing?"
"Hey, you are the new one." The man smiled and said, "Actually, I have only been here recently. What they are going to sing "The Dragon Coup of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty". It sounds nice. I tell you that this is a new opera troupe, but the skill of singing is not worse than that of other opera troupes!"
Zhu Lin nodded, Tang Zhongzong Shenlong coup? It’s interesting!
Seeing that the people below were almost sitting, Xiaosheng waved to a place. Not long after, several people who had made up and dressed in opera clothes came on stage.
Zhu Lin leaned back, but he had to listen carefully to how well this song was sung.
"I have been plotting against two dynasties and want to proclaim myself emperor. The whole world has lost its heart. Mei Niang Mei Niang, you are so heartless!" A character pointed at a female character and said.
The female protagonist said without fear: "I am the only one in the world, what about Li Tang? Mei Niang worked hard for decades, just for today, why can't I, Wu Zetian, sit in the sky of Li Tang!"
"Bold!" Another character took out his sword and pointed at the female horn: "The traitor, as the person around the emperor, intends to usurp the throne. Today I assemble the troops from all directions and will make you look good!"
The female star walked around the stage and smiled and said, "So what? The hearts of the world are all in my hands. What can you do in a few days?"
"Haha, the prime minister's ability has been weakened and each one is defeated, just around the corner." The sword holder pointed at the female horn angrily: "Today, Mei Niang, you must collapse!"
Zhu Lin snorted lightly. He was such a great skill. The Shenlong coup of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang was just an allusion to Zhao Kuangyin and the new emperor.
The people on the stage were still performing, but Zhu Lin was already thinking about how to deal with the next thing. Just arresting these people because of a play? It is unrealistic, and it may cause panic to the capital.
Moreover, it was just a scene of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty's Shenlong coup. It might be that Zhu Lin was wrong, but his intuition told him that a conspiracy was brewing. Just like the original Shenlong coup, it seemed that Wu Zetian had a great advantage, but she could not resist the counterattack of the old minister.
After the opera on the stage was finished, the person above saluted the person watching the opera below, then stepped off the stage, Zhu Lin also stood up, he sorted out his clothes and left the railing. Suddenly, Zhu Lin thought of Qingying. Since he had all come, he would go and see her.
Zhu Lin did not change his appearance. He walked through the railing in the middle and came straight to the Kunqu Troupe. He was still as deserted as before, forming a sharp contrast with the opera troupe just now.
Just as Zhu Lin was about to walk in, the person at the door blocked Zhu Lin: "Young Master, please come back, I won't sing an opera today."
Zhu Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is this?"
"The opera singer has something to do today, so I can't sing anymore." The person at the door had an unstoppable worry in his eyes: "So, please come back."
Zhu Lin's heart moved. He took out a tael of silver from his arms and secretly stuffed it to the person at the door. The man hesitated for a moment or took the silver. He sighed: "It's not that he doesn't want to open it, but the actors who are just performing. They disappeared yesterday. We haven't found it today."
"Missing?" Zhu Lin was shocked and asked, "When did he disappear?"
The man replied, "It's probably evening. Oh, I don't know where I went."
"Okay." Zhu Lin nodded: "Since that's the case, then forget it."
Zhu Lin turned around and left. He came to an uninhabited corner to cast his spell, bypassed the person at the door, and sneaked into the railing where the Kunqu Group was located. Qingying disappeared? Qingying's range of movement was very small. She shouldn't have happened that Zhu Lin was spending the night outside last night, and she should have come back after so long.
