271 Acting in a play
The last link of the task is really not to fight and kill, and it is not difficult, but it is just for the two to cooperate with the government to perform a scene.
As for what kind of drama it was, and because of what kind of medicine was collected, the prefect did not hide it, but came out of the tray in 1510, and the words were all frank and sincere, without the slightest hesitation and dodging.
After listening, Lin Xi and Wei Mei couldn't help but look at each other, and after a moment of silence, they nodded and took the last task.
The ins and outs of the whole thing are not complicated, on the contrary, they are quite simple. It's just that Jincheng has a drought this year, although there is no grain and no harvest, but it is also less than half of the income in previous years, and there is not much left after paying taxes. Earlier, when he went to the excerpt, because he saw that the people were still living a decent life, the prefect did not write that the drought was too serious, but only said that everything had improved. Now in the face of this situation, to shirk the matter of moving out of the drought is to bully the king, and not to resist the honest delivery of grain is to make the people of Jincheng miserable. So the only way to do this is to coax the rich merchants in the city to pay for the grain and hand it over, and how to coax it, the prefect already has a case.
However, this task is not urgent, and it will take two days before the prefect will be able to invite all the rich businessmen in the city, large and small, so it is good to do a scene together at that time, which can be regarded as a quick knife to cut through the mess at one time, so as not to tire the two of them again and again, and it is easy for people to see the clues.
And just right, the two also need time to prepare a little, and they have to read the lines again and decide how to come when the time comes. Although I probably know what to do, and it's not impossible to play on the spot, there is only one chance, and if you miss it, you will lose all the games, so you still can't be careless.
And the play they want to do is actually not difficult, that is, pretending to be two god sticks (?) Suddenly appear in the middle of the banquet, and then casually aim at a rich businessman to tell him his fortune, if you don't believe it, you will perform a magic trick to show him, and after believing it, you can start to cheat money.
The prefect has already told the two of them what the wealthy businessmen who will come when they arrive and where they will sit, as well as their specific information, family and friends, business opponents, and preferences and taboos. And I'm also worried that the two don't want to bother thinking about it, and they also set a paragraph for everyone, if they can't remember it, they can just remember it, and then it's okay to play freely when the time comes, in short, to achieve the goal.
This task is not only related to the official position and life of the prefect and the fate of the people of this golden city, but also to control the future of the two, if you win, you can continue to advance, and if you fail, you must take a big step back and start over. Since entering the game, it is the first time that both of them have received such a toss-up and a task that has lasted for so long, and after all the previous efforts and persistence, they naturally only want to win and cannot fail.
So even if they were empty, the two of them did not go to take on their daily tasks as usual, but chose a quiet roof to sit down and began to memorize the information provided by the prefect about the rich merchants.
Although Lin Xi has always had lingering fears about memorizing, it will not be much pressure, because everyone's experience on it is described in witty vernacular, and reading the whole book is like reading a novel, as long as you read it seriously word by word, you will remember it in your heart later, and you don't need to memorize it by rote. Thinking about it, the prefect also considered that they were not scholars, but martial arts people who could fight and fly, so they would do such a considerate behavior.
Although Jincheng is big, there are only a few large and small business matters, and there will be no more than three peers, so the total number of these rich businessmen is actually less than twenty. In order not to embarrass them too much, the prefect only marked ten people who were relatively wealthy and a little superstitious, and then it would be almost enough to scam some money from each of them.
After carefully looking at the ten people, and then roughly looking at the commands of the rest of the people, Lin Xi first thought about it in his mind, and then turned his head to look at Wei Mei, and after seeing that he was almost finished, he pulled him around and said, "Let's test each other, so that we can remember more firmly." ”
Hearing this, Wei Mei couldn't help but smile helplessly, and after thinking about it, she also felt that this was good, so she nodded and answered, and she asked each other and answered.
At first, both of them were a little confused, and when asked if they needed to think for a while to think about it, they couldn't remember that they needed to take a peek at the correct answer to answer. But if you ask a few more times, you will be able to answer them fluently, and it will be more natural to talk about the lines provided by the prefect.
When they couldn't find anything wrong with each other, they stopped, and after glancing at each other helplessly, they all lay down a little tired and looked at the roof, and didn't have the heart to do anything else.
This can't be helped, this kind of physical and mental life is really tiring, not inferior to fighting monsters at all.
Lin Xi stared at the blue sky and white clouds for a long time, and suddenly said, "It seems that the officials we have met along the way are all good officials?" There are no big corrupt officials in this world? ”
Suddenly hearing such a sentence, Wei Mei was stunned for a moment, and then felt that this was indeed a question she would ask, and after thinking about it, she replied lightly: "I probably think that since it is fake, it is better to be beautiful, so as not to make people have a bad time." ”
"......" Lin Xi paused, and then said slightly abruptly: "It's the same...... In this way, it can create a sharp contrast with reality and make people more nostalgic for the game. ”
The charm turned sideways and reached over to attach her ten fingers to the interlock, making her palms warm before saying, "Although this world is fake, we are all real, aren't we?" ”
Lin Xi also turned sideways to look at him, opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the system prompt ringing in his ears-
"Ding-dong! Player Shangguan Wan'er invited you to enter Qianli Transsion, do you accept? ”
Lin Xi was stunned at first, and then laughed as if he had thought of something, and after hearing the expected words after receiving the voice of Qianli, he only answered about twice and hung up. Immediately, she pulled the charm up in the state of the two holding hands, and said seriously: "It's time to go offline to eat." ”
Wei Mei had just guessed, and went to see the time, which would be considered a certainty. Thinking that the rare sensational exchange just now was interrupted like this, I couldn't cry or laugh, but there was no atmosphere for anything to say, so I could only nod and go offline with her to eat first.
And to wait two days to continue the task, the overtime work of the two after dinner is a matter of course to choose the login trumpet, it just so happens that Lin Xi's own charms are also used similarly, and the Sword Rain Pavilion also needs the new charms she has learned, so it is just right to draw more at this time to make up for the amount of overtime that was not worked before.
However, when he was resting, Lin Xi still didn't forget that task, and he grabbed the charm to ask me and answer me when he had nothing to do, for fear that he would remember it again for a while, and then he would make a mistake and miss the opportunity to make the task fail.
After going online during the day the next day, the two of them first went to pick up a few daily tasks to complete, and then rushed to the place of the banquet at the time agreed with the prefect - Pingsuyuan.
This is a collection of restaurants, theaters, art halls in one of the large entertainment venues, the lobby is in the center of the courtyard, you can not only eat but also watch plays, you can also order programs if you have money. There are still private rooms, small ones for three to five people, about ten people in them, and about twenty people for the big ones. However, in order to facilitate today's scene, the prefect directly chartered a small courtyard and then held an open-air banquet in the garden.
Because they want to make the play more successful, the two need to wait until the group of people have drunk about the same, and their bodies and minds are relaxed and no longer so guarded, at that time, not only can they believe in the words of the two more, but the chances of success in the coaxing will also be greatly improved.
Just enough for the two of them to relive it again, so Lin Xi and Wei Mei went first to pick a rooftop to sit down, and while reviewing that piece of information, they glanced down a few times from time to time to watch the play.
And for today's scene, the two also went to change their clothes, Lin Xi was wearing a white long skirt, covered with a layer of tulle, and the skirt was complex and elegant, which was convenient to make people feel like a fairy descending when they could fly. Wei Mei tied up a decent bag and bun head, wore a blue and white robe, held a transparent and turquoise jade flute, and then put on a lofty posture, it was quite like a master who was high and lonely.
Thinking about making it easier to enter the play, after reviewing that piece of information, Lin Xi looked at him below, wanting to get used to his changes, so as not to have a laugh when he got it.
Wei Mei was a little hairy by her, but seeing that there was no other meaning in her eyes, she probably understood what she meant, so she didn't say much and let her see it, correspondingly, he also looked at her from head to toe unceremoniously, and there was a bit of estimation in his expression.
After a few minutes of watching me, I look at yours, it was Lin Xi who was the first to lose, who made his eyes seem to have no meaning but deep meaning, but hers originally had no other meaning, and was also made a little interesting by such a look.
After waving his hand to stop, Lin Xi held his chin and looked down, and said thoughtfully, "What do you think...... Will we succeed later? ”
After retracting her eyes with a smile, she also looked at it, and after glancing at the people below, she nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Thinking about how he had to hesitate a little and hesitate for a moment, he didn't think that he would be so neat and so crisp, Lin Xi turned his head to look at him with some surprise: "So confident? ”
Wei Mei smiled: "Some people are very innocent and easy to believe in anything, some people are cunning and cunning and don't dare to believe anyone, but the most believable even if these weird ghosts and gods are the most superstitious people." Not for anything else, but because they themselves know that sometimes people are more terrible than ghosts and gods. ”
