When night falls, the crescent moon is high, and the soft moonlight falls on the world, so that the whole city of Beijing seems to be shrouded in a thin veil.

Because of the countless dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, a number of luxurious mansions have been built, in which there are not only carved railings and paintings, but also pavilions and pavilions. There are not only picturesque garden scenery like the south of the Yangtze River, but also Xuanhe decoration that shows the noble identity of the master's family.

If you rise in the air and look towards the buildings of this piece of capital, there is such a small bridge and flowing water in the rich mansion in the east, which makes people feel like they are in the beautiful back garden of the Jiangnan village. In the corner of the garden, there is also a long rectangular water pavilion, which is now brightly lit, and there are many curling Nana plays singing mournful and complaining, lingering and moving tunes.

This song is a Kunqu opera that has only recently become popular in the capital, and the lingering and melancholy tone is matched with the sound of silk and bamboo and the every move of the actors, which is really intoxicating. The only fly in the ointment is that these seemingly weak and moving scenes are actually all men, not more exciting women.

In today's era, although there have long been dramas to watch, they are limited by the defense of men and women, almost all of them sing operas, and women singing operas are regarded as unpopular. Therefore, on the stage, whether it is Angzang's raw horn or the graceful Danjiao, in fact, the makeup is all male bodies, but some of the actors who play the Danjiao look quite handsome and delicate even if they take off their makeup.

In fact, this tradition was still prevalent even hundreds of years later during the Republican period, and people like Mei Lanfang also flourished because of this. It was only later that the wisdom of the people gradually opened up and the status of women continued to improve, and there was a place for women on this stage.

Although the singers are all men, those who can perform in such a mansion are the best in Kunqu Opera, so their every move, smile and smile are so charming, and they are all dazzled and fascinated by the maids and attendants waiting around.

It was the master of the house that these people were waiting for, a man in his forties, graceful appearance, full of nobility, who was also addicted to it at the moment, nodding and clapping his hands from time to time, and humming softly from time to time, looking quite satisfied.

Seeing this, the few people on the stage sang even harder, babbling, and their voices were like wisps swimming around the water pavilion, condensing but not dispersing, which shows the depth of their skills.

However, this elegant scene was soon interrupted by the arrival of a young man in his twenties, with a strong build, dressed in a strong suit. He walked very fast, and with the wind, he had quickly come to the water pavilion, and several guards guarding outside obviously recognized this person, and when they saw him coming, they did not dare to stop him, and they all clasped their fists and saluted, and got out of the way.

The man simply ignored their reaction, and without even stopping his steps, he stepped directly into the water pavilion. When he saw this elegant scene, his face showed disgust, and regardless of everyone's expressions, he came to the middle-aged man: "Third brother, why have you changed your sex, and you are actually interested in this procrastinating thing?" The tone was very grinning, and there was no respect at all.

When the middle-aged man who was indulging in the charm of opera heard this, he seemed to come out of a good feeling, and raised his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him: "Why are you here?" Recently, this Kunqu opera has been highly praised by everyone in the DPRK and China, so I will try to listen to it. This taste is not bad, and the aftertaste is long. ”

"I'm pouring you wine. My third brother has always been cheerful, why did he become interested in such things? Moreover, these singing actors are all men, could it be that you are now turning sexually and starting to have a habit of breaking your sleeves? The young man pursed his lips disdainfully, and then said narrowly.

This peach broken sleeve refers to the love affair between men, which is an allusion that has been passed down for thousands of years, and is equivalent to the glass comrades or basic feelings of later generations. However, at this time, I have a peaceful and neutral attitude towards this, especially in the rich and noble, and this kind of habit can even be called elegant.

But even so, the middle-aged man still snorted a little dissatisfied, and didn't dwell on this matter, but just asked, "Tell me, why did you come here suddenly?" ”

"This ......" The young man did not answer immediately, but swept his gaze forward, and the middle-aged man smiled knowingly, waved his hand and said: "You go down, you sang well today, and you all went to the tent to receive a thousand rewards." ”

When those actors heard this, they immediately stopped and thanked them, and then the money was returned. A thousand dollars is not a small amount for them, under normal circumstances, it takes half a month to have such an income, and it is really cost-effective to be able to enter this mansion this time.

Then, the servants who were standing on the left and right also retreated outside the water pavilion, so that only the two of them were left to talk. Seeing this, the young man frowned and said: "Third brother, you can still have such leisure and elegance to listen to the play here, there was an accident in Juchun Building last night, and Tang Qianchuan was actually kidnapped!" ”

"I knew you were here for this." The middle-aged man did not show any flustery because of these words, and started to fill the young man with a glass of mellow wine, and gently pushed it in front of the other party: "You just came to see me when you learned the news, right?" ”

"Exactly. What's the matter, third brother, you already knew? The young man asked in amazement.

"It's not too early, early this morning, the news was passed from the building. After all, this Tang Qianchuan is involved too much, and his sudden disappearance naturally makes people feel at ease. ”

"And you're still so safe?"

"It's all happened, can I get people back on my laurels?" The middle-aged man's words made the young man not know how to respond for a while. He smiled and said: "After receiving the news, I have sent people all over the capital to inquire and search for his whereabouts, even at the city gate, and I also said hello." As long as Tang Qianchuan shows up, he will definitely not be able to escape my ears and eyes. ”

The young man breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and at the same time gave a thumbs up and said, "The third brother is really the third brother, and he made a quick move, which made me admire it beyond words." Immediately, he thought of something again: "Third brother, what do you mean by this arrangement?" Do you think that Tang Qianchuan ran by himself? ”

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to answer, he shook his head again: "Third brother, this time you are gone, as far as I know, he should have been taken captive." Because the guards in that building had fought with people that night, and they didn't disappear afterwards. In addition, recently, Daxing County investigated the case of Feng Changchun's murder before, and I am afraid that Tang Qianchuan has something to do with this case. ”

The middle-aged man took a sip of wine and looked at him with a smile: "You kid can actually see this, but he has grown a little." "Hey, that's what the people around me see as well, I'm just talking about it casually."

"On the surface, this is exactly what happened. But if you want to go deeper, it may not be. The guards of Juchun Tower only said that they were fighting with people, but they didn't say whether that person was here to kidnap people or help Tang Qianchuan get out. And as far as one of them said, at that time, Tang Qianchuan asked him to go first to lead the other party away, and he hid. At this point, I am quite skeptical, if it were you and me, if we really encountered danger, would we let the only remaining guards around me leave and put myself in an even more dangerous situation? ”

This question really made the young man a little suspicious: "This is indeed a bit strange. So you suspect that this is Tang Qianchuan's own arrangement of the way to get out? ”

The middle-aged man nodded: "Although Feng Changchun's case has nothing to do with him, our relationship with Juchunlou is the most disturbing to Tang Qianchuan." Now that the Daxing County Ya suddenly wants to investigate the case again, he will inevitably be afraid, so he will think of such a golden cicada coming out of his shell. If we believe that he has been taken captive and spend all our energy on it, he will be able to leave the capital easily. ”

The young man thought about it carefully, and really felt that there was some truth: "This Tang Qianchuan really has some brains, so what should we do?" ”

"This man is no longer credible, and he must die in order to keep it a secret." Even when talking about such bloody things, middle-aged people still look very elegant, even when they drink, they behave calmly.

Seeing that the young man opened his mouth and seemed to be a little confused, he said again, "I know what you want to say." What we have to do now is to add fuel to the fire and completely tie Tang Qianchuan's disappearance to Daxing County, so that if he is finally found dead, the people in Daxing County who want to investigate Feng Changchun's case will be the biggest suspect! ”

“…… Wow! After thinking for a while, the young man slapped his hands and praised: "This hand is really wonderful, and the people who were in charge of the Daxing County Yamen at that time were full of mouths, and I am afraid that they will not be able to tell clearly." ”

But then, he asked with some uncertainty: "Third brother, what if your speculation is wrong?" If Tang Qianchuan was really taken captive, and someone wanted to get the inside information from him that was unfavorable to us? ”

"You can think of this layer, and it proves that you have grown." The middle-aged man glanced at the other party with satisfaction: "So in addition to that arrangement, I also asked the people from Shuntianfu to go to the county government to test it." In addition, after a while, my people will enter the Daxing County Ya to investigate, and as long as they are among them, they will eradicate him! Just ......"

Originally, the arrangement of the middle-aged man had convinced the young man, but there was still some hesitation in listening to his words, and he was stunned: "Just what?" ”

It's just that Tang Qianchuan fell into his hands after all, and he worked in the middle of the night for a day, and no one knew if he would really say anything. Back then, I asked you to set up someone with a family, so it would be easier to control, but you just wouldn't listen. Otherwise, now that Tang Qianchuan's family is in hand, I don't have to worry about what he will say at all. ”

Hearing this, the young man immediately lowered his head: "It's me who is confused for a while......"

"Well, it's still under control. A small Daxing county government is not too big a problem. Even if they really let him know something, I'm afraid they won't dare to really report the matter, this is not a small matter! The middle-aged man said softly very firmly.
