Chapter 3: Chartered Theater

Tao Shengnan, who returned home, had already forgotten about the brother and sister after attending several drinking parties under the guidance of the Tao gang leader. It wasn't until Tao Yuelai told him that the person who bullied Duan Xiang'an that day found him that he remembered.

At this time, he was attending a drinking party, he changed his clothes and slipped away, took the path back home, and went straight to the basement.

He instructed Tao Yue to lock the person in the basement and let him guard it, and he went down to interrogate himself. Tao Shengnan sat on the interrogation chair, looked at the person tied to the cross, and asked in a cold voice: "Tell me, which gang are you from!" Who told you to besiege Miss Duan! ”

The kidnapped person spat out a mouthful of blood, raised his head and looked at Tao Shengnan with gloomy eyes; "Why should I tell you! Straw bag! A straw bale that can't even hold a gun! ”

Tao Shengnan kicked away the chair and walked to the man, raised his hand and slapped him: "What if I don't know how to hold a gun, aren't you still planted in my hands!" Say it or not! ”

The man stared at Tao Shengnan and smiled, he said; "You're going to live better than die. You're never going to get what you want in your life! Straw bales!"

Tao Shengnan looked at him expressionlessly, and turned around: "One day!" I'll only give you one day, if you don't say it, then deal with it, the counter-evidence is based on guessing, and the master can guess it. It's just to get testimony. ”

With that, he walked out of the basement with his sleeves down, stood at the dining table, looked up and took a long sip of water, and then let the droplets slip into his collar and look at the door in a daze.

When Tao Zhen came back, what he saw was Tao Shengnan standing motionless at the door like a Buddha. He looked at his son suspiciously, pushed him in and sat down and asked, "What medicine did you take again?" Isn't it usually at the Rongde Theater or the dance hall at this time, why are you still at home today? ”

Tao Shengnan glared at his father, instantly changed to a flattering face and smile, and climbed up to pinch the shoulder of the Tao gang leader like a dog: "My good helper, good father, you tell me a rumor!" I've been being followed when I go out lately, which gang doesn't want to live? "He's been out of the house all the time lately, but when he's being followed, he's always been stalking people.

Tao Zhen knew his son too well, he didn't believe that Tao Shengnan would be followed at all, and said with a smile: "It's good that you just want to take over the affairs of the gang." You're almost nineteen years old. It's time for you to take over, too. But you ······."

Tao Shengnan turned over and sat on the sofa from the back of the sofa, stared at Tao Zhen with his eyes and said, "Don't don't, I didn't say that to take over the affairs of the gang." Recently, there have been too many inexplicable goods coming up from Baihu Wharf, and there are too many strange people coming up, I really don't feel at ease, and I always want to take people to see it. But I don't know the other party's roots, and I'm still a little cowardly. ”

Tao Zhen looked at him and laughed for a while, beckoned the housekeeper to come over, and said, "You follow Fu Bo upstairs, there are materials in the black box in my room." Go check it out. It's not a bad thing to know. ”

Tao Shengnan's eyes flashed with victory, and a carp was about to rush directly from the sofa to the second floor.

"Have you seen the little boy of that Duan family lately?" Tao Zhen spoke.

The corners of Tao Shengnan's mouth twitched, and after thinking for a while, he remembered Duan Xiangjing's appearance, and said with a smile: "I've seen it, the little girl looks good, and the elder brother looks not bad." However, I don't know if you're talking about the eldest young master who doesn't have a mother, or the second young master who has a mother. Leaving an unpredictable word, he looked back at Tao Zhen.

Slowly, he smiled and ran upstairs. Tao Zhen downstairs opened his eyes, and a faint light flashed under his eyes.

In 1897, the country of Mora was in turmoil, the royal family was in turmoil, and the royal power was hollowed out by warlords. There are various gangs in various places, among which the Tao family gang and the Qingcheng gang are the most powerful in Luoshi, and the people of the Qingcheng gang love to bubble up from time to time to make a thing, and want to snatch the arms from the Tao family.

Since Tao Shengnan was born, his life has been threatened by the Qingcheng Gang all the time, and his mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to him, and she fell ill. In order not to make himself a target for a gun, Tao Shengnan has always created an image of an incompetent son who can't hold a gun and can't resist a knife.

This time, he accidentally saved Miss Duan's family, if it was an accident, it would be nothing. But if it's a scene made by the Qingcheng Gang, then it's no wonder that he wants to serve the Qingcheng Gang in one pot!

"Young Master." He looked down and rummaged through the materials as Fauber whispered to him. He looked up at Fauber and raised an eyebrow; "What?"

Fauber has been taking care of him since he was born, so he will still give this old man a little face.

Fu Bo smiled and said: "A few days ago, the young master said that he wanted to listen to the play, and the day before yesterday, there was a troupe from Dusk Liancheng in Rongde Theater, and one of them seemed to be called Hua Ge, who was a very famous actor!" The Peony Pavilion you want to listen to, he sings very well! ”

Tao Shengnan raised his eyes to look at Fu Bo, and smiled after a while, "It's still Fu Bo who knows what I like." Okay, I'll check it out tomorrow. Fauber remembers to have booked the venue for me in advance. ”

Fauber smiled kindly, and with a sigh of relief, he withdrew. After the door card tower slammed shut, Tao Shengnan's eyes flashed with a grim light. For a long time, he sat down on the table, crossed Erlang's legs, and hummed a song that was out of tune.

It was noon the next day, Tao Shengnan sat in the front row of the Rongde Theater, squinting and shaking his head, shaking his head and crossing Erlang's legs, shaking his legs as if he was very immersed.

Tao Shengnan, who was addicted to listening to the play, hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth, and was about to open his eyes to the drama in the stands when he heard Tao Yue arguing with someone at the door.

If you listen carefully, it turns out to be the Duan family brothers and sisters.

"Duan Gongzi, this scene was really chartered by my young master today, you better come back another day!"

Tao Yue said with a sad face.

Duan Xiangjing looked disappointed, he heard that today was the first scene of Hua Ge, and wanted to bring his sister here to see, but he never thought that this place was booked. He looked back at his sister and said apologetically; "An An, I'm sorry, my brother didn't have time to ······ sooner Don't be angry with your brother, okay? ”

Duan Xiang'an was originally a little angry when she heard that someone had covered the scene, but when she heard her brother say this, she was suddenly angry and laughed again, she took Duan Xiangjing's hand with a long breath and said, "Brother, I won't be angry with you!" Let's go, if you can't see it today, then let's see it later. ”

Duan Xiangjing raised his hand and touched Duan Xiang'an's head: "It was my brother who made you feel wronged, and even this request can't meet you." ”

Duan Xiang'an lowered her head and smiled, her mother died when she was five years old. After the death of his mother, his father soon raised the second aunt to the main room, and the second mother never looked down on himself and his brother, although he never owed money in food and drink, but he would not get it as he wished if he needed money in some places. Once again, he was sick, Duan Xiangjing begged Erniang for money, and Erniang first sneered and sneered before giving a little silver. But that bit of silver couldn't even buy the worst medicine, Duan Xiangjing was in a hurry, and he happened to meet his father who was not at home, he was so mad that he almost sold himself when he met a liar. If it weren't for my father's timely return, my brother wouldn't know what would have become.

"It's okay, brother, let's go home!" Duan smiled sweetly.

"What's all right? Tao Yue! This is my friend, why don't you let them in! Tao Shengnan, who came out at some point, leaned against the door and looked at the brother and sister with a smile.

Duan Xiangjing turned back in surprise and looked at Tao Shengnan, "Is it your field?" ”

Tao Shengnan smiled and raised his eyebrows: "So what is the difference, come in." Miss Duan doesn't really want to listen to the play, this is the time to be exciting. He smiled and turned Tao Yue, and Tao Yue stood aggrieved and aggrieved.

Duan Xiangjing frowned slightly, his expression was a little apologetic: "Master Tao, what happened that day····· I'm sorry, my dad wasn't usually like that. ”

Tao Shengnan raised his eyebrows and smiled, dragged the brother and sister in, and said after pressing them to sit down, "If you don't say it, I'll forget it." The old man always speaks like this, and my dad speaks like this. Speaking of which, I grabbed you that day, did you hurt? Have you got a scar? ”

Duan Xiangan looked at Duan Xiangjing nervously: "What? You were injured that day! Huh? Where's the injury?! ”

Duan Xiangjing smiled at Duan Xiang'an soothingly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that my wrist is twisted, and Tao Gongzi doesn't use much force." ”

Tao Shengnan, who was scolded by Duan Xiang'an, picked up a cup of tea and hid his smile, he knew how hard he used, and he didn't know if he was hurt. Thinking about him, he said: "It is estimated that the injured person is not light, I will show it later." Let's listen to the play! His words left Duan Xiangjing speechless. Duan Xiangjing wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Tao Shengnan as if he was already fascinated, so he had to smile slightly and learn to listen to the play.

In the huge theater, occasionally Duan Xiang'an's exclamations and Tao Shengnan's laughter and applause, Duan Xiangjing, who didn't know anything about drama, was easily fascinated when he listened to the play, and finally fell asleep.

Tao Shengnan tilted his head slightly to look at Duan Xiangjing, who was asleep, rubbing his fingers against the teacup, and the sudden sound of gunfire made him laugh and whispered: "It's here, it's really here." It seems that something is really wrong at home. ”

He touched the handle of the gun at his waist, and a grim smile appeared on his face.
