Chapter 57: The Origin of the Five Opera Village (Part II)

Ye Kui pulled his bowl back, drank the stinky fart vinegar that was still half of the pig's feet in one go, and left a small half bowl of peanuts at the bottom of the bowl, as well as the pig's feet that had been bitten, and then wiped his mouth and put down the chopsticks.

"Waste, waste, such a good thing." He said as he smashed his mouth.

"Oh, it's rare for you to know that the legend of our village is still so relieved." The boss pulled a bench and sat down beside them.

"What are you afraid of, this bunch is protein, isn't it all the same?" After Ye Kui finished speaking, he went to the car to get water.

"Haha, the little brother walked away, then I'll tell you the next story." The boss didn't dislike it, pulled Fang Jinyuan's bowl of stinky fart vinegar that hadn't been touched much, and ate it himself.

The villagers of Zheng Yi who were arrested did not do anything to him, but forced him to eat his subordinates every day, and he forced him to eat if he didn't eat them. And a large part of the main reason why the villagers left him behind was because of his talent for writing dramas.

The scripts written by Zheng Yi are full of ups and downs, which is very attractive. The troupe of the village has long been well-known by him, and now during the New Year's holidays, the white and happy events will invite the drama of Jitou Village to perform in the past. The villagers of Jitou Village, who had eaten the sweetness, were reluctant to kill Zheng Yi, so they raised him in their mountain col.

When Zheng Yi was imprisoned, he already understood why the villagers treated him the way they did.

At this time when he couldn't eat enough, he was such a big official with a large group of people who were enough to exterminate them and stationed them, asking them to wait for them with big fish and meat, they couldn't bear such a match, so in desperation, they re-copied the old business that they had already given up, that is, to be a bandit, and use all the money they stole to serve Zheng Yi, who ate and drank every day.

When the village is a bandit, it is taken under the pressure of life as a last resort, and when life improves, they will not touch the behavior that damages yin and morality. I thought that Zheng Yi would be able to realize it by himself, but Zheng Yi, who was born in a wealthy family, felt that it was taken for granted, and the villagers dared not speak out, so they could only retaliate with this extremely terrifying method.

And after learning the truth, Zheng Yi finally figured it out, and in the shouting and scolding of the villagers, he finally felt the sorrow of the bottom of the society. So even though he was forced to eat people every day, he did not refuse to write scripts for them, which can be regarded as compensation for his harm to the villagers in the past six months.

But Zheng Yi is also a normal person, he is not willing to be trapped forever in this village that forces him to eat people, but in addition to the guard at the gate of the mountain pass, he is also chained, relying on himself, and those officers and soldiers who have become his food, he cannot escape, and must rely on external forces.

At this time, he is still in charge of this ghost bandit case, and he must report to the imperial court every month. However, the report must be read by the people who study in the village association, and he is not allowed to leak any information. The conditions at that time were equivalent to blocking the road.

The only way out is his script.

Zheng Yi was trapped in Jitou Village for three years, and those officers and soldiers had already been eaten by him, and without the officers and soldiers, the people in the village no longer gave him human flesh, but the food changed from pig's feet vinegar with peanuts and meat every day to a bowl of porridge. And Zheng Yi's body, because he ate too much human flesh and gathered too much resentment, was already weak, and just when he was about to die, he suddenly got a piece of news.

The opera troupe of Jitou Village has become famous throughout the country, and recently at the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, the troupe of Jitou Village was invited to perform in the palace.

Zheng Yi, who learned the news, saw the dawn of escape, and he painstakingly wrote five painstaking works, he integrated all his experiences and pains into the drama, and skillfully used love stories, family stories, military stories, business stories, and statecraft stories to cover up. The villagers of Jitou Village, who were not highly educated, did not see the implication, and on the day of the birthday banquet, they completely performed the five plays written by Zheng Yi in front of the emperor.

The emperor at that time was a very smart man, and although the troupe performed well, he quickly discovered what seemed to be contained in it. After the birthday banquet, he went back to meditate for five days, dismantled and arranged the content of the five plays, and soon discovered the secret letter sent by Zheng Yi.

Knowing what happened to Zheng Yi, the emperor of a generation of Ming Jun was furious and personally sent troops to encircle and suppress Jitou Village and rescued Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi, who had regained his freedom, was terminally ill, but when he thanked the emperor for his rescue, he begged the emperor to spare all the villagers of Jitou Village, and to share the suffering of the lowest people in society one by one, and begged the saint to consider the pain and hardship of the people, reduce taxes, and provide disaster relief in time.

When the emperor knew the truth, according to Zheng Yi, he integrated the poor villages near Jitou Village, unified assistance, and at the same time reduced taxes to make the people live a better life.

It's a pity that Zheng Yi died of illness shortly after he came back, because he was a playwriter, and the status of the drama at that time was not as good as that of a peasant, and Zheng Yi's name was not handed down, so he passed away in obscurity.

It integrated Jitou Village and the other four nearby villages into a large village, and was renamed Wuqu Village, which is the origin of Wuqu Village.

"I didn't expect the name of Wuju Village to be given by the emperor! What a great way to get it! Fang Jinyuan was fascinated when he heard it, and he was no longer afraid of the stinky fart vinegar, and he picked up the one he didn't know who was in front of him, and he also feasted on it.

"Our village is famous for its five operas, and the five operas at that time have also been handed down. If you are interested, you can come and watch it when the New Year is celebrated. The boss laughed.

"Really? I heard that there is an old man in the village who has a birthday recently, will he act? Fang Jinyuan suddenly asked coldly.

When the boss heard about the birthday, his face changed suddenly, but he recovered quickly, but his smile was not so bright, "uh...... This one...... The old man's birthday banquet has passed, and there will be no five plays at the birthday banquet. ”

"Oh...... That would be a pity. Fang Jinyuan scratched his head, "Listening to the five operas that seem to have a lot of connotation, I also want to see if I can hear a ciphertext, if I can hear it, will I also become an emperor?" ”

Hearing Fang Jinyuan's words, the boss burst out laughing, and the embarrassing atmosphere just now was swept away.

"Alas, yes. Boss, I heard that there was a murder on your side before I came, is it true? Fang Jinyuan suddenly put his arm around the boss's shoulders and asked in a low voice.

The boss's face changed again, "You're also quite well-informed." ”

"It's not okay if you're not well-informed, what era is it now? In the age of the Internet! Something trivial happened, whoa! It's all there! searched the Five Opera Village, and some of the topics that didn't come came. Fang Jinyuan held up his high-end smartphone.

The boss looked at Fang Jinyuan's mobile phone and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "I don't know what the new gadgets are about this mobile phone, I just see that my granddaughter likes to play, but since this matter has been spread, it doesn't hurt to tell you." ”

As he spoke, the boss actually began to tell the story of the incident.

The story of the boss is actually similar to that of Officer Cheng and Peng Yongmin, but the angle and role have changed again. When they were stopped outside the ancestral hall in the end, something was finally different.

"At that time, after Mr. Wu blocked us out, there was no sound coming out inside. After waiting for more than an hour, there were sounds of fights and knocking over things inside, and we didn't dare to rush in with Mr. Wu's warning. It's just that the voice at that time was a little weird, it sounded like the entire ancestral hall was in the dark, the voice was vague, and it sounded awkward. ”

"The voice in the dark ......" Fang Jinyuan repeated, his face a little dazed, but he quickly reacted again, "Then what's next?" ”

"Then there was nothing, the ancestral hall quickly quieted down again, we thought it was okay, and after waiting for about two hours, Mr. Wu came out, and he asked us to prepare some cold water to feed to the few young people who had just taken out their life qi. When we went in with the water, we found that there was one less young man, huh...... Speaking of which, why does this little brother look so similar to the young man who disappeared? "The boss suddenly found something.

Officer Cheng, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected at this time.

"Boss, wait a minute, you just said that you brought water to those children, what were the children like at that time, do you remember?"

The boss did not hesitate, and directly told Officer Cheng that the children were very weak at the beginning and seemed to be frightened, but soon after drinking the water, they could walk around the field, and the boss and a few of the villagers who delivered the water didn't care, and sent them to the door of the guest house and went back.

After a short period of coldness, Fang Jinyuan immediately explained to the boss who began to be suspicious.

"He's the cousin of the little brother who disappeared, and his brother has been out of touch for a long time, so follow the clues to see if he can find it." Fang Jinyuan said to the boss with a natural expression.

The boss glanced at Peng Yongmin, who was a little weak-hearted, in surprise, but fortunately he didn't see anything, and said, "In this way, I heard that the young man who escaped went to the police, and the police in our village have come several times." ”

But before Peng Yongmin could breathe a sigh of relief, the boss continued:

"If you're looking for that young man, you'd better go back. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any ill intentions, after all, I was against the death of those children. Because I know that the person who died had a bad heart, and he was still working in the field when he was sick, so it was possible that such a situation would occur. The boss breathed a sigh of relief.

But most of the villagers don't think so. They all felt that it was the fault of the young man that killed the people in the village. From the beginning of the matter to now, it is already the sixth day, and the person who escaped took away a life, so another one died in the village. If you are really a relative of the runaway brother, I advise you not to go, those fools may use you as a punching bag. ”

"Dead again?" Not only Fang Jinyuan, but everyone present was taken aback.

"Well, one is dead. A lonely old man, the aunt who brought him food said that he was fine the night before, but he was cold the next morning. The boss's face was a little gloomy, after all, the same villager was still a little sad to just leave like this.

With that, the boss got up and prepared to leave, seemingly losing interest in the heavy topic.

"Alas! Don't go, boss! What did you mean when you said that the birthday banquet was fatal? Fang Jinyuan grabbed the boss and pulled him back into the chair.

There is a legend in the village that after eating the birthday banquet of the old man of longevity, the blessing of the old man's longevity will be passed on to everyone who attends his birthday banquet. It's just that the amount of each time is limited, and it must be someone the old man knows. Even if the old man himself doesn't remember, he can know anyone he once knew, and a complete stranger like those college students will be in a situation like today. ”

This kind of statement, everyone here except Ye Kui didn't seem to have heard of it, and he was at a loss, and Ye Kui, who seemed to know something, didn't intend to explain here, he smiled at the others.

And after the boss finished speaking, he also got up and left, and brought up a sensitive topic, he felt that he had talked a little too much, no matter how Fang Jinyuan kept him, he didn't plan to stay, and after putting away the bowls on the table, he returned to the back kitchen and didn't pay attention to them anymore.

"It seems that if you want to find a deeper clue, you have to go into the village and see that Mr. Wu." Fang Jinyuan smashed his mouth, and as he spoke, he got up and prepared to get into the car.
