As Liu Hongmei thought before, Li Hongyu and Youlan really went to cheer for those who invited the Hundred Flowers Opera Society, for which the Hundred Flowers Opera Club received four times the remuneration, which can be said to have earned a lot of money. Tian Lai Xiao said. 2

Since Youlan has returned, those who let the Hundred Flowers Opera Club go to sing naturally want "The Female Concubine", after all, Youlan is the Feng Suzhen selected by the Hundred Flowers Opera Society, so that all the three tripods of the Jiangnan Oiran Conference are all there, making "The Female Concubine" even better.

The reason why Li Hongyu went to support the scene was not to prepare to stay in Yangzhou for a long time, and now that the time of the first overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty was approaching, he had to return to Jilong Port after dealing with the affairs of Xiaoliuqiu to tell Liu Dahai and others the results, and then go west with the trade fleet.

For this reason, before leaving, he wants to do his part for the Hundred Flowers Opera Club, and at the same time, it is also a matter after Yang Li'er leaves, Yang Li'er is not a drama like Youlan, so as soon as Yang Li'er leaves, the Hundred Flowers Opera Club will be supported by Zining and Du Juan.

For the Baihua Opera Society, the top priority is to build a theater of its own, so that the problems of singing and accommodation can be solved, and they will not be adrift again.

Liu Hongmei showed an atmospheric side at this time, and after discussing with the owner of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, she decided to give the Drunken Moon Theater to the Hundred Flowers Opera Club, so as to avoid the impact of the Hundred Flowers Opera Club's theater on the Zuiyue Opera House and the business of the Drunken Moon Pavilion.

Obviously, when the theater of the Hundred Flowers Opera Club is established, it will definitely affect the business of the Drunken Moon Theater, and then the business of the Drunken Moon Pavilion.

But if the Drunken Moon Theater is given to the Hundred Flowers Opera Club, although the Drunken Moon Pavilion has no theater, there will be many more customers from now on, and those dignitaries and nobles who have watched the play will definitely choose to go to the Drunken Moon Pavilion for recreation, and the two sides can be said to complement each other.

In this way, things are much easier, and Li Hongyu will no longer have to work hard to choose the address of the theater, the location of the Zuiyue Theater is the core business district of Yangzhou, and there is no more suitable as the address of the theater.

Soon, the plaque on the gate of the Drunken Moon Opera House was taken down and replaced with the signboard of "Hundred Flowers Theater", which was written by Li Hongyu himself, and the pen was strong and vigorous, very imposing.

After solving the problem of the theater, Li Hongyu can finally breathe a sigh of relief, he has nothing else to do in Yangzhou, just wait for "Scholar Li" to meet him after coming to Yangzhou, and then set off to return to Xiaoliuqiu to explain to the people of Jilong Port, presumably the people of Jilong Port are already waiting in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, just when Li Hongyu was planning his trip from Jilong Port to Guangzhou, a shocking event suddenly happened in Jiangnan, a completely unexpected thing for Li Hongyu.

"Sir, someone from the Customs Department is looking for you."

On this morning, when Li Hongyu was rehearsing a new play with Youlan, Yang Li'er and others in the theater, a maid came to report quickly.

Li Hongyu thought that Ran Xing had something to find him, so he said hello to Youlan and the others and followed the maid to the reception hall in the backyard.

"Master Li, let me tell you that the scholar was assassinated on the way back yesterday and is now being treated, and your meeting will be postponed."

In the hall, a big man dressed in guard clothes bowed his hand to Li Hongyu and said in a deep voice, he was the guard beside Ran Xingrang.

"Assassinated?"

Li Hongyu was stunned when he heard this, and the look on his face became a little surprised, in other words, someone wanted to assassinate him! Who is so bold?

"How's Scholar Lee?" Although he was shocked in his heart, Li Hongyu quickly calmed down and asked the big man quietly.

"We don't know much, but it seems that Dr. Li is not lightly injured."

Dahan shook his head when he heard this, and then said, "Master Ma asked me to remind my son to pay attention to the safety of the theater club. ”

After saying that, the big man left in a hurry after bowing his hand to Li Hongyu, because of this assassination incident, Ran Xingrang was furious, so the Customs Department is now in full operation, ready to find out the main messenger behind the scenes and bring him to justice.

"Who wants my life?" After the big man left, Li Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly, his expression was extremely solemn, and he asked secretly in his heart.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, killing an official is a serious crime, not to mention that Li Hongyu, who is an auxiliary minister of the court, and those who assassinate him will be regarded as an accomplice and beheaded all over the house.

Moreover, since ancient times, the common people have had a fear of officials, except for those who are bold or forced to do so.

Officials at all levels of the government deeply abhor the act of killing officials, and this is a matter of their vital interests, so those who kill officials are often severely punished, and their families will be involved to set an example.

Even in the capital, where there is a serious party dispute, no official wants to buy murder to kill political opponents, and usually uses party disputes to bring down the other party, because buying murder is a taboo and indiscriminate behavior, and no one dares to do this and does not bother to do so, otherwise they will become the public enemy of officialdom.

Therefore, Li Hongyu didn't expect his stand-in to be assassinated at all, could it be that those people ate the gall of the ambitious leopard and didn't even want their lives?

"Could it be them?"

In contemplation, Li Hongyu's eyes flashed with cold light and thought of a possibility, and then nodded affirmatively, "It must be them!" ”

Subsequently, Li Hongyu walked out of the living room, rushed to the theater and called out Youlan, who was rehearsing, and led her to his study in the backyard.

"Sir, is something wrong?"

Youlan and Li Hongyu have been together for so long, so they naturally saw that Li Hongyu had something on their minds, so they asked with some surprise after Li Hongyu closed the door, it seems that he hasn't heard anything major recently.

Just like Yang Li'er called Li Hongyu "Brother Sheng", Youlan likes to call Li Hongyu "Mr.", and when Li Hongyu was a teacher in Jilong Port, it was when his relationship with her became more and more harmonious.

"Just now, Master Ma sent someone to report that my stand-in was assassinated on the way back yesterday, and it seems that he is seriously injured." Li Hongyu groaned for a moment when he heard this, and said to Youlan in a low voice.

"Someone dares to assassinate Mr.?"

Youlan was taken aback when she heard this, Li Hongyu is a dignified Ming Auxiliary Minister, what is the difference between assassinating him and rebellion, it is to be beheaded all over the house, and then she realized something, and her eyes couldn't help flashing a panicked look, "Sir, do you suspect that this matter has something to do with my father?" ”

"The news of the birth of the chicken coop harbor must have been spread, and those who eat this bowl of rice smuggled by sea will definitely not give up."

Li Hongyu nodded and said solemnly, "Your father is now the sea emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he shouldn't be involved in this matter, but he must have heard something." ”

"I'm going to go back and ask my dad what he knows."

Youlan immediately understood what Li Hongyu meant, so she said to Li Hongyu in a coquettish voice, secretly praying in her heart that Chen Mingzhi would not be involved in this matter, otherwise what face would she have to face Li Hongyu?

"If your father-in-law is involved in this matter, you must not worry, those who don't know are not guilty, and our family will not talk to each other."

Li Hongyu saw Youlan's nervous expression, so he smiled slightly and took her into his arms, comforting her softly, how could he care about his future father-in-law?

"Hmm!"

Youlan's heart suddenly warmed when she heard this, Li Hongyu's thoughtful words dispelled her concerns, in the end, those people who assassinated were just Li Hongyu's stand-ins, which made things have room to slow down.

Yangzhou is a well-informed place, and the assassin is a dignified "Li University Scholar", so the assassination of Li Hongyu's stand-in spread all over Yangzhou City the next day, causing an uproar in the city, and no one thought that anyone would dare to attack Li Hongyu.

Since the place where Li Hongyu had an accident belonged to the territory under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang, Ran Xingrang sent a sternly worded official letter to the governor of Zhejiang in the name of the customs department, asking him to find out as soon as possible the assassination of Li Hongyu's substitute, and if it affected the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty, he would report to the imperial court to investigate the responsibility of the officials of the three divisions of Zhejiang.

The officials of the Third Division of Zhejiang were frightened by the attack on Li Hongyu's stand-in, and they couldn't sleep well, in case Li Hongyu had anything to do, how would they explain to the imperial court? First of all, the crime of maintaining public order is unfavorable, and many people will take off their black yarn hats.

For this reason, the chief officer of the Third Division of Zhejiang mobilized all the forces in his hands to investigate the case of Li Hongyu's stand-in attack, which caused the county to which Li Hongyu's stand-in was attacked, and the people were panicked.

That magistrate was unlucky first, and was arrested and put in the prison of his subordinate government to wait for review, which can be said to have suffered an unjustified disaster, after all, Li Hongyu's stand-in had an accident in his territory, and he naturally had to bear the charge of having no way to deal with it first.

Li Hongyu later learned that his stand-in was seriously injured because the assassin used a firearm and used explosives to attack the carriage in which the stand-in was riding, and the stand-in was injured as a result.

Fortunately, Ma Xianglin, who had been following the stand-in, was not present at the scene, which made him unscathed in the assassination.

However, to Li Hongyu's disappointment, the assassins were all poisoned and killed afterwards, so he was unable to obtain any valuable clues from them.

However, Li Hongyu believes that those assassins cannot cover up all their clues, and as long as the government is willing to work hard, they will definitely be able to find clues.

Although there is no definite news yet, Li Hongyu can conclude that this incident is related to those smuggling syndicates along the coast, and I am afraid that only they dare to take risks to do such a thing after hearing that the pirates of Xiaoliuqiu Island have accepted the appeasement of the imperial court.

As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, and those smuggling groups thought of this earth-shattering plan to get rid of him because they were cut off from their money, thinking that as long as he died, the imperial court would not be able to open overseas trade, and the pirates of Xiaoliuqiu also lost the court officials who could be trusted.

"You are the first year of junior high school, so don't blame me for being fifteen!"

Thinking of this, a subtle sneer flashed at the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, he originally wanted to deal with the affairs of those smuggling groups by gentle means, but they dared to send someone to assassinate him and put on a posture of putting him to death, so don't blame him for being heavy-handed.

He wants to make those people pay a terrible price for what they have done, and at the same time he is a warning to those who dare to use inferior means to kill him.
