Chi Guang, the owner of Baixifang, stood on the side with his hands down respectfully, signaling to the apprentice next to him to quickly bring the soup.
Yun Pan glanced at the pottery teacup that was brought to him, waved his hand gently and said, "Chiefang Master, I'm here to ask you about "Peach Red"."
Chi Guangpei said with a smile: "I don't know what you want to ask, sir? The little people have only been performing this drama for ten days. I don't know what the problem is. Please tell me clearly."
"I heard that Young Master Qingluan arranged this for you personally?" Yun Pan asked, "How did Young Master Qingluan, that is, Wang Qingyan tell you?"
Chi Guang was at a loss when he heard Wang Qingyan's name. Yunpan didn't wait for him to speak, waved his hand and said: "Wang Qingyan, the court official, Mr. Qingluan, was killed the day before yesterday."
Chi Guang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. He lay on the ground and said, "Sir, sir, Chao Feng is indeed Mr. Qingluan who rehearsed the show for us, but we didn't kill anyone. It was Chao Feng who came to find us, saying he wanted to I personally changed the script into a drama."
"How did you deal with it at Chengbitang?"
"The boss of Chengbitang Village also came, and Chao Chaofeng told him that there are only four dramas, and the plot content is much less than the story books. Some poor people can't afford story books, but they can still go to the Wa Shi Tea Shop , if you like it after reading it, you will naturally buy the storybook."
"Boss Zhuang was a little relaxed. Then Wang Chaofeng also said that he changed the finale so that the ending of the drama is different from that of the script. The audience will definitely react well and everyone will discuss it, so there will be more people in the market who want to watch it. Boss Zhuang thought it made sense and agreed."
"Then he was rehearsing at your place the night before yesterday?"
"Yes, yes, Wang Chao Feng has been rehearsing at our place in the evenings for the past month. He really takes care of it. He does everything by himself, from dressing up to singing and props. He said that it needs to be polished to be outstanding. Look, Taohong's costumes in Jingzhou, The costumes in the capital are all carefully designed.”
Ding Saier, who plays Xiao Taohong, said on the side: "Yes, sir. Wang Chaofeng changed the props for my appearance again and again. The day before yesterday, he arranged the props until late at night. He was not very satisfied and said that the jade pendant I got in the end was still missing. He meant something, let’s act like this for now, and he’ll go back and think about it later. It was almost time when he left.”
Yun Pan thought that the courtyard where Baixifang lived was only half a quarter of an hour's walk from the Wang family. It seemed that he went home directly after leaving Baixifang, so that it would match the time mentioned by the Wang family.
Yun Pan asked: "He left alone? Are any of you with him?"
Ding Sai'er nodded, "Well, he walked alone. He went back by himself every time. His home is not far from here. There are always patrol agents from the government and soldiers from the capital on this road. Ma Si's Yamen is right next to it, so it's very safe. Not to mention Wang Chaofeng, a grown man, the women in our house also walk around at night. Couldn't he have been killed on the road?"
Yun Pan didn't say anything and asked again: "He hasn't been here for the past few days, so aren't you anxious?"
Chi Guang wiped his sweat and said, "Sir, we are anxious. But the play is almost ready. In fact, Chaofeng Feng himself wants to change it, and our performance will not be affected. Especially the business has been very good these days, we I didn’t have time to find Chaofeng. I’m still surprised that on the day Chaofeng left, he even muttered that he would come over tomorrow to change some things for us, and the effect would be better then.”
At this time, someone from behind said: "Sir, I also went out that night, and I saw Wang Chaofeng..."
Yun Pan looked at it immediately, and Chi Guang looked back and said, "Hey, Xiaomao, please come up and say what you are really sure of, and don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Mao'er came up and said, "Sir, I saw clearly that Wang Chaofeng was talking to a patrolman. The two of them even walked away together."
Yun Pan became excited and asked: "Are you sure you are a police officer? Can you see your face clearly?"
Mao Mao'er shook his head, "I can't see his face clearly at night. He must be a police officer. That person is wearing the clothes of a government police officer."
"And I think Chao Feng must have something to do with the police. I used to go to the Dongxi Street area and saw him talking to other police officers, but it was during the day."
"You said Chao Feng went to the East and West Street area?"
"Yes, I often go there to buy preserved and dried fruits. Wang Niangzi's fruit shop on East and West Street is cheap. I saw Wang Chaofeng there several times. He should also go there often."
"Why do you say that?"
"I think Madam Wang only charged eight copper coins for a pound of fruit. It should be the price for regular customers."
Yun Pan returned to the government office and saw An Ying and Su Huangzhe coming back together.
He threw a stack of paper over and said, "Let's take a look."
An Ying looked carefully, motionless. When Yun Pan saw her worn cloth shoes, he said to Su Huangzhe: "Master Su, An Si is by rights my subordinate. If you use her to death like this, do you think I have to give in to you?"
Su Huangzhe also saw An Ying's worn cloth shoes. He frowned and said, "If it stands to reason, you are also my subordinate. If I don't use her, I will use you to death."
An Ying then followed the gazes of the two men and looked at his broken shoes, and then thought about the high temperature subsidy, "By the way, I told Mr. Wang about the high temperature subsidy last time. Has Mr. Su received the report? ah?"
Su Huangzhe couldn't help laughing when he thought of the report, "Thank you for coming up with this idea. Huang Shangshu has already agreed. But I advise you to stay away from Chen Dong recently."
"Why?" An Ying didn't understand.
Oops, An Ying covered her head and looked back at Yun Pan who hit her, "Yun Pingshi, what are you doing?"
"You are usually very smart, but how could you be so stupid now? Think about it, who are you when you go out on the streets? Who are you when you stay in the government office?"
Only then did An Ying realize that Su Huangzhe's men who were doing criminal cases were all working outside, while Chen Dong's men were doing work such as accounting audits and road citations, and relatively few were out.
It's over, this is just increasing the hatred value.
An Ying stomped her feet, clapped her hands anxiously, and said, "Oh my god, why didn't I think of this? I heard that Mr. Chen Dong is very difficult to deal with. What should I do?"
Su Huangzhe touched his eyebrows and coughed. Seeing An Ying still running around like a headless fly, he said angrily: "Okay, you are a member of my Group A, I will take care of anything. You little kid Si Zhi, Chen Dong doesn't even bother to look at you."
Yun Pan took out another coin and said, "Use your high-temperature allowance to buy a pair of better shoes. According to Mr. Su's temper, you should be prepared to have one pair of shoes a month."
An Ying finally felt at ease and held the penny in her hands happily, "Oh my God, there is actually a penny. I'm going to Shen's shoe shop to buy a pair of goose-yellow shoes. Those ones are really nice. I've liked them for a long time. , I’m familiar with their shopkeeper, so it can be cheaper.”
Yun Pan said with disgust: "An Sizhi, could you please think about whether the black official uniform and the yellow shoes match? I don't want to see someone too ugly hanging in front of me."
An Ying ignored her and took turns looking at the case file with Su Huangzhe. Su Huangzhe smiled and stretched his waist and said: "This case is almost over."
