Chapter 141, Shen Mu's magic show
"Master, who do you think will recognize me?" When Liu Xiaobao heard this, his eyes left the mirror and asked curiously.
"I didn't ...... Not...... Who? Liu Sandao was shocked to realize that he had made some gaffes just now, and hurriedly denied it.
As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at Shen Mu's expression.
None of this escaped Shen Mu's eyes.
It seems that this Liu Xiaobao's background is a little suspicious!
I don't know what the news found from Jinyiwei is?
But now, finding Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, is the first priority at the moment, and he doesn't want to be distracted by other things.
Since Liu Sandao was reluctant to speak clearly, it didn't make sense for him to force the other party to spit out.
As long as it doesn't affect his current search plan.
As for whether this Liu Sandao master and apprentice complete the task he assigned to him satisfactorily, after the two sides have a certain degree of familiarity and understanding, whether the other party is still willing to mention this matter is another matter.
Thinking of this, he didn't delay any longer, but got up directly from the chair, walked up to the master and apprentice, and said, "This time, I brought your master and apprentice out of prison to ask your master and apprentice to help me do something.
As long as this is done, not only do you not have to go back to the dark prison and live freely from now on, but I can also help you achieve what I want, you have to think about it, and once you agree, you must do your best, and you can't pick and choose halfway. ”
When Liu Sandao's master and apprentice heard this, they glanced at each other, and then looked at the expression on Shen Mu's face, but they didn't agree immediately, but said cautiously: "Benefactor, the little master and apprentice are just two unpopular craftsmen, I don't know what I can help the adult?" ”
"There's nothing bad about craftsmen, and it's your craftsmanship that I value."
"What do you want our master and apprentice to do?"
"Don't worry, I won't let you do that kind of thing to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, did you see the square we took you through just now?"
"See." Liu Sandao's master and apprentice nodded.
"Just see it, the day after tomorrow, I will find someone to set up a stage there, and let your master and apprentice perform tricks on it, and then it will attract many people in the city to watch, you should be mentally prepared in advance.
Don't go on stage, because of stage fright, you will drop the chain.
Of course, you won't be allowed to perform in that place all the time, not for more than ten days, which means that after ten days, when you have completed your mission, you will be completely free. ”
"Is it really just for our master and apprentice to perform tricks?" After Liu Sandao heard this, he confirmed with some disbelief.
"Do you have any other skills than acting tricks?" Shen Mu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"This ...... This...... It's true...... Just a trick? Liu Xiaobao also asked with a sluggish expression.
Although performing tricks is their ability to eat and make ends meet, but now in this situation, even if they encounter normal requirements, they still have to think a little more.
"Don't think nonsense, you have to be sunny in this mentality, you really just let you perform tricks, I really don't have the heart to play with you.
The guys at the inn have already brought the food, and when you finish eating, Master Liu, you will immediately write out some of the tricks that you think are wonderful, let me go through them first, check the gates, understand? ”
"Good...... Okay......" Liu Sandao could only nod in agreement.
Now their master and apprentice have no choice but to believe that the other party really has no ill will towards them.
"Knock! Guest, your meal is here! "The innkeeper is outside the door.
"Send it in!"
The door was pushed open, and two men walked in with their meals.
After the guy who received them at the door entered the door, he glanced at Shen Mu, but he didn't react much, but he couldn't help but look at Liu Sandao's master and apprentice who had changed their image a lot.
Then he walked to Shen Mu's side and said with a smile: "Guest officer, it's too late today, there are only these foods in the store that can be taken out, and please don't dislike the three of you, if you have any favorite meals tomorrow, please let me know, and the small shop is also better to spare." ”
"That's good, stand down!" Shen Mu glanced at these meals.
"Yes, please slow down a few guest officers."
Just as the two guys were about to exit from the outside with the door, Shen Mu spoke again: "That...... Man, you wait".
"What else do you have to say?"
"Go and prepare an ordinary pen, ink, paper, inkstone!"
"Okay, guest officer, please wait a moment." The fellow answered, and then stepped back again.
When Shen Mu turned around, he found that the master and apprentice were looking at the food on the table, Liu Sandao was fine, Liu Xiaobao's eyes were staring at the food at this time, Shen Mu waved his hand and said:
"I know that you have not eaten well in prison in the past two years, and in these ten days, I will cover all your food, clothing, shelter and transportation, so as to avoid your worries, and now you can eat."
"Thank you benefactor, that little old master and apprentice are welcome."
The master and apprentice have not eaten a full meal in prison for a long time, and now they smell the fragrance of the food, and they really can't bear it anymore, anyway, it is impossible for this benefactor to poison the food, and he is no longer polite at the moment, he sits at the table, picks up the chopsticks, and is a wolf.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the plates of food on the table had bottomed out.
The master and apprentice had eaten so much, as if they hadn't eaten enough, but they were embarrassed to ask Shen Mu for another table.
Shen Mu is not stingy with money for a meal, but these two people have been hungry for a long time, so gluttonous and easy to get sick.
His plans have all begun, and he is never willing to drop the chain due to unexpected factors.
At this moment, the guy from the inn knocked on the door outside again and brought in the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Shen Mu wanted.
Looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, Liu Sandao thought about it, and still said: "Benefactor, Xiaobao of the little old man's association will also, since the benefactor is in a hurry to see it, it is better for us to write separately from the master and apprentice, what do you think!" ”
"It's okay, I just need to see the results."
So, the two began to write quickly, and briefly listed the tricks they were best at.
This Liu Sandao is not afraid of Shen Mu stealing learning, in his heart, a person like Shen Mu, who has strong energy and can mysteriously bring them out of prison, should not take their little skills seriously.
The master and apprentice wrote a page, and Shen Mu took it and looked at a page.
After a full hour, Liu Sandao stopped writing and said: "Benefactor, these are the programs that Xiao Lao'er master and apprentice are good at, you can watch ......"
"Well, one-three-five is good, let's choose these three programs first, without further ado, you will also list the props needed for the performance now, and tomorrow, I will take you to purchase.
That's right? I've been in prison for more than two years, and I shouldn't have given birth to my craft! It's no problem to perform on stage."
"Benefactor, please rest assured, the little old man has been playing this craft for more than 20 years, and he won't be born with his hands!"
"That's good, after listing the props, you can rest, and I'll come back to the inn tomorrow morning to find you."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Mu stopped being verbose and left directly.
In the remaining room, Liu Sandao's master and apprentice looked at each other.
After a while, Liu Xiaobao said tentatively: "Master, who is this benefactor, he is so relieved to leave us in the inn, is he not afraid that we will sneak away?" ”
"Slip away? Where to slip away? We have just come out of prison, we have no money on us, we don't even have a way in and out of the city gates, do we leave here and wait to starve to death? ”
"Master, what you said is, but who is this benefactor? Why do you want to ask us to perform tricks, is it really Jinyiwei? Still is? ”
"The other party doesn't let us know, so we don't ask so much, whether it's Jin Yiwei or not, but it's definitely not someone we can fool at will, now I just hope that we can do what the other party asks, and when the thing is done, he will let us leave safely."
In front of his benefactor just now, the master said that the craft has not been put down, but it has been in prison for more than two years, how can it have no impact at all, don't sleep tonight, let's familiarize ourselves with the three programs first, don't have an accident on stage at that time. ”
"Yes, Master."
……
Shen Mu was busy all day, and he was already tired, but when he returned to the Shen family's new mansion, he couldn't sleep.
Regarding the problem of the performance venue, he must find Ye Qianhu to solve it as soon as possible.
In order to find out Zhu Houzhao's bear child as soon as possible, he had to hurry up.
Find out before anyone else finds the bear child.
You can't let others take the lead.
However, although the trick show performed by Liu Sandao's master and apprentice is okay, it is still not brilliant enough, he wants the kind of magic show that can cause a sensation in the whole city at the phenomenal level.
Fortunately, in his previous life, his entertainment when he was bored also included deciphering all kinds of magic shows, and he knew a little about some very famous magic shows.
Especially the kind of magic show that attracts the attention of the whole people.
According to the existing conditions, choose a few applicable ones to use, presumably with the professionalism of Liu Sandao's master and apprentice, it will not be too difficult to perform.
Thinking of this, he got up again and began to write and draw with a quill pen.
After writing these programs, he felt that it might be a little difficult for the master and apprentice to perform these programs directly, and it was also a matter of time to find someone to adapt to them.
Instead of that, when it was his turn to play these shows, he simply played himself, with his disguise technique, it was difficult for others to identify his true face, and then he could just let the master and apprentice give him a hand.
However, on the second day, when he met Ye Qianhu, he still specifically mentioned that he would personally participate in the performance.
Ye Qianhu was still very satisfied with Shen Mu's ability to progress to this level in just one night.
I didn't pay attention to Shen Mu's fine-tuning of the plan.
Anyway, this search plan, even if it fails, it will not affect Jinyiwei, so let Shen Mu do it.
He was also given a lot of financial support.
In addition, about the venue, he had already sent people to greet all sides.
After a short day and night, everything is in place, and the next thing is to see the effect.
When something new is about to come on stage, it always has to go through some buzz beforehand.
It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty didn't have such things as television, radio, and newspapers.
Even if you want to start a newspaper, it's too late now.
So what to do?
Shen Mu could only use stupid methods and post small advertisements.
In fact, it can't be considered a small advertisement, but a big advertisement.
So, overnight, all kinds of advertisements filled the streets and alleys of Nanjing.
This advertising slogan is Shen Mu's hard work, and he took the most eye-catching advertising slogan in his previous life, and after the makeover, it is the most eye-catching.
Not only that, Shen Mu also deliberately recruited some children around the age of ten to distribute small advertisements in places such as famous inns and restaurants.
There are many ways to hype a topic.
But in the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of hype methods have not yet spread, and his shot can quickly set off a trend in Nanjing.
After all, Nanjing City is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and there are still a lot of people who can read and write in this place, even if they can't read all the words, in addition to small advertisements, there are also star posters designed by Shen Mu!
On this poster, the faces of Liu Sandao's master and apprentice can still be seen clearly, but his face is blurry, but it can lead people to reverie.
Who made him have more or less brushes on painting?
Liu Sandao's master and apprentice couldn't figure out Shen Mu's purpose, but the degree of cooperation was still very high.
Such novelties swept the city in just two days.
Some people see the address in this advertisement.
In order to verify the authenticity, some even went to this square to visit and see if what was said in the small advertisement was true.
As a result, I saw that there was really a stage performance, and the tricks performed were really good-looking.
This is passed on to two, two to three, even if people who don't go out for a few days quickly know the news.
With Shen Mu's joining, his novel performance method and Liu Sandao's profound skills as a master and apprentice became popular all of a sudden.
But Shen Mu wanted to lure out Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, instead of turning himself and the master and apprentice into Daming's performance stars.
If there are too many people coming, it will also cause unnecessary trouble to find someone.
So, after a day of performances, the performances were changed to the pre-noon performances held in the square, and the afternoon performances were held in the small theater at the back.
The performances in the small theater are more exciting, and tickets are required to enter.
Rather than performances, the focus is on small theaters.
For ordinary people, they will take some time to watch the performance, but this kind of high-ticket trick in the small theater, except for those who have the power, money and leisure, ordinary people really can't get in.
The reason why Shen Mu made adjustments to the plan is because in the crowd, it is also very difficult to find people, and it is easy to cause accidents.
A bear child like Zhu Houzhao shouldn't care about these ticket prices, as long as he chooses to buy tickets to enter the venue, this person will be fished out.
For the sake of insurance, Ye Qianhu specially found a few safe and reliable brocade guards who had seen the true face of Zhu Houzhao, a bear child, and placed them around the ticket office of the small theater, just to identify people.
And he and Liang Baihu also disguised themselves and mingled in the crowd watching the trick performance, in order to deal with some emergencies at all times.
This plan was originally implemented in a bit hastily, and it was not possible to mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources to prepare, and the small theater was relatively simple, and there were no VIP boxes, all rows of tables and chairs.
This also has the advantage that when Shen Mu stands on the stage to perform, he can see the expressions and actions of each audience below.
