Zhou Ao, as in the past, took his servants and walked leisurely towards the theater.

He is particularly fond of going to the theater now.

Speaking of this opera, it is also inseparable from the general who conquered the north, because this opera, in fact, is also through the general's statement, which can finally take shape and be presented in front of the world.

Originally, there were only some things in the north, most of which were wrestling, juggling, etc., and even miscellaneous songs and dances, most of which were derived from ancient things and Hu customs.

However, Chen Zhi took the time to give suggestions for improvement, and combined with the storytellers in the streets and alleys, combined the simple juggling and dance music to form a set of songs and dances that can tell stories, which is really intoxicating.

This generation of counties up and down, up to the officials and nobles, down to the small people of Shengdou, is very fond of this.

For a person with a certain status like Zhou Ao, of course, he would not sit in the open air on the street like ordinary people, listen to the original tricks, and turn around to do singing, so he will come to this theater.

After walking in, there were many greetings from people along the way, including many of those children of the big clan, which made Zhou Ao very vain, but he still knew how to handle the tone, so he nodded pretentiously and walked towards Lao Cheng.

However, before I got to the place, I noticed that there were a lot more people in the venue today than usual, and the expressions of each one were quite strange, not quite like those actors in the past, not calm, and more cramped.

But looking at the clothes and belts of these people, he guessed that they came from other places, and Zhou Ao had a score, thinking that he was a vassal and elegant person, so he didn't take it to heart and sat down by himself.

Immediately, there will be a small servant serving melons, fruits and tea.

Zhou Ao was eating, leisurely, and waiting for the show to be staged.

But soon, a few people next to him came over and saluted him.

"I've seen Captain Zhou."

"Do you recognize this officer?" Zhou Ao looked at the few people who were approaching, and couldn't help frowning, when he listened to the play, he often met such people, but he didn't like it, because it not only affected his interest, but also asked for more things, which made people feel utilitarian.

Those people also heard Zhou Ao's unhappiness, but they had to come up, but they didn't dare to say anything else, they just identified themselves first, and then asked Zhou Ao for help.

"What you did before, in the eyes of this official, is much more than the same as collaborating with the enemy, and now you can save your life, it's already good, and you want to return to Daijun to continue doing business, it's really surprising, don't you have a little bit in your heart?"

"Captain, you misunderstood that I was waiting." The one who was pushed out to speak for everyone was the one who proposed it first, and he was thoughtful when he arrived, even if he heard the disgust in Zhou Ao's words, he still said without humility or arrogance: "We actually know that there is a mistake first, but you say with your conscience, at that time, how many people in this Youzhou felt that the situation was not good, and our family of Daijun still wanted to join the family, and asked the general to take back his fate?" It is human nature for us to be afraid, and besides, our original intention was not to fund the enemy, but to go to other places in Youzhou and try to sell them, but the things were detained, so we were in a dilemma. ”

"The mouth is long on your face, what do you want to say, the official really can't care about it, but this set of rhetoric is put away, it's useless in my place, the official is here to listen to the play, and don't care about other things, if you really feel wronged, after a while, the general will come to Daijun in person, you can say it, see how the general arranges."

As he spoke, he stopped paying attention to the crowd, and listened to the drama by himself.

A few people around looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but they had to give up.

But this time there was no gain, but everyone was very angry, thinking about how to find a breakthrough, one by one became more and more worried, and when they returned, they gathered here to discuss countermeasures.

It's just that when I talk about it, I still have every clue, so I have to stop there.

But that night, someone secretly found a place where a few businessmen stayed.

"Several, we know your troubles, there is a good thing for you, don't worry, if this thing is done, you will definitely let the squeezed goods all return, if not, there will be gains, at least you will not lose all your money, how about it?"

Looking at the person who wrapped himself tightly in the dim light, listening to his words, several businessmen couldn't help but hesitate.

The other party is so sneaky, if there is no problem, then no one believes it, but instead of worrying about these, they also want to find a way out for their goods, so after some summing, they still recommend one person to negotiate in the past.

"I don't know what you propose, let's make it clear first, if you want to damage the interests of this secluded state, forgive me for being difficult to follow." This businessman came up and made the bottom line clear.

The man replied with a smile: "Of course, there are still people who want to be enemies of Youzhou now?" Youzhou is so powerful, how strong the Xuanjia army is, and it is difficult for the Huns to resist this country, let alone others? What we are asking for is nothing more than to be able to live in peace, and to help you today, of course, is not for no reason, but to wait for you to really get permission in front of the general, so that you can speak to the general, do more business, and less soldiers, so that we can give our surrounding forces a way to live. ”

When those merchants heard this, they became frightened, and they shook their heads one after another: "How dare I speak up about such a thing?" You'd better be smart! ”

The man said: "Don't panic, don't let you be so straightforward, I just hope that when the time comes, you can talk a little more in front of the general, and remind the general that this secluded and two states still need to be developed." ”

Hearing this, a group of businessmen immediately had all kinds of speculations, thinking that who was probably a spy of the surrounding forces, because they were shocked by the combat power of the Xuanjia Army, so they wanted to come here to advocate the atmosphere and prevent the soldiers from pointing to the surroundings after the Xuanjia Army returned.

If so, it's not impossible.

So the merchant took the lead and said, "I still need to discuss it, so I might as well give you an answer tomorrow night." ”

When the man saw this, he looked satisfied and left.

But what they didn't know was that as soon as their people left, the leader of the merchant said excitedly: "I didn't expect that when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, there would be such a turnaround!" ”

When others saw this, they couldn't help but say, "Do you really want to speak for this person?" ”

"Foolishly!" But the leader laughed, "Where do I want to speak, this person is sneaky, he must be a bandit, just report and expose it, so as to prove our loyalty, isn't it the best way to defend yourself?" Besides, this Youzhou only promulgated the policy of reporting thieves some time ago, and there is still a reward to be taken, isn't it beautiful? ”
