Chapter 98 Tickets

On the first day, the troupe finally learned a new piece of music.

The next day, a high stage was set up outside Prince Ji's palace.

On the third day, two special theater tickets were delivered to the Heavenly King's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion respectively.

Theater tickets are different.

What was sent to the Tianwang Mansion was just a single ticket, but what was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion was an additional large wooden box.

In the Tianwang Mansion, the eldest prince Yuntian was listening to music in the garden. Because he was too fat, the chairs he sat on were specially made. The chairs were made wider and wider and looked like a bed board.

"The theater tickets? Who sent them?" Yuntian took the tickets from the palace manager and looked at them and asked.

"It said it was sent by Prince Ji's Mansion."

"Prince Ji's Mansion?" Yuntian's fat hands trembled when he heard the words "Prince Ji's Mansion", and the ticket fell to the ground without holding it firmly.

The palace manager hurriedly helped pick it up.

"The person delivering the tickets is the concierge of Prince Ji's Mansion. Someone recognizes him. His name is Xie Ding."

"What kind of trick did the doorman do? He also gave me theater tickets... He didn't say anything about the show."

"I told you it's a newly rehearsed play called The Demon Shepherd. I'm sure the prince will like to see it."

"Monster shepherd? This play is quite new. What kind of role does it play? I, the king, who has no name and no title, don't care about it."

"It's the Liu Family Inn troupe that was quite famous a while ago, and the main actor is a young actress."

"Oh, I've heard about it. I'm planning to go and have a look in the next two days. I'm going to the Liu Family Inn later. I want to hear this new show. The concierge named Xie is a little careful. Unfortunately, he is in the extreme

Prince's Mansion, otherwise it would be a good idea to be transferred to the Heavenly Prince's Mansion as a concierge, so just prepare some money and spend it away."

"It's the prince, but... the theater is not at Liu's Inn."

"Not in the inn? Where."

"It's said that the stage was set up outside the gate of Prince Ji's Mansion."

"hiss……"

Yuntian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, with an uncertain look on his fat face.

Previously, I thought it was Xie Ding, the concierge of Prince Ji's Mansion, who wanted to flatter him, but when he learned that the stage was set up outside Prince Ji's Mansion, Yuntian felt that something was wrong.

It's reasonable for a concierge to offer theater tickets as a gift to climb up to the Heavenly Palace. How could he get so much money to build a stage?

To set up a stage, you have to hire a theater troupe, and this cost is absolutely indispensable.

It's not a good place to take the ride, but it happened to be outside Prince Ji's Mansion...

Yuntian knew very well where Prince Ji's Mansion was. It was clearly a cemetery!

Setting up a stage outside a cemetery, what kind of show do you want to sing?

Thinking of the fourth prince who died young, all the hairs on Yuntian's body stood up.

The manager of the palace could see that the prince was hesitant and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, should we go to the theater?"

"Go...of course!"

Yuntian was taboo about Prince Ji's Mansion, but he was obsessed with watching plays. When he learned that there was a good play but he couldn't see it, he felt so itchy that he couldn't sleep well even if he scratched his heart and liver.

"Bring more troops and call all the practitioners who look after the palace and the palace."

"It's the prince, I'm going to find someone right now."

Following the order from the Heavenly King, the guards were neatly dressed, and the guards lined up in two rows outside the gate with swords in their hands. There were hundreds of people in the crowd. Those who knew they were going to see a theater, but those who didn't know thought they were going to the Palace of Heavenly Kings.

Send out troops.

Compared to the mighty Tianwang Palace, the Prime Minister's Palace is much quieter.

Prime Minister Wang Fu'an has just passed his forties this year, which is the age when he can make great achievements. However, his sunken eye sockets look tired, but his gaze is still deep.

Ever since he became the prime minister of Jiyun, Wang Fu'an, who was brilliant in literature but not pedantic, fell into a bottomless pit. He was full of ambitions and wanted to change Jiyun's current situation, but he encountered obstacles at every turn.

He wanted to strengthen his army, but there were many obstacles in his way. He wanted to free the feudal lords, but he couldn't. The decaying Jiyun was like a huge mountain, weighing him down and suffocating him.

Especially the recent investigation into the case of the Ecstasy Smoke. The more Wang Fuan was investigated, the more frightened he became. There were more and more involvements in it, and there were even vague shadows of the consort and the national master.

If the investigation continues, it is hard to imagine what the consequences will be.

Regardless of being a prime minister, who is the first rank of the dynasty, in front of those royal relatives and various princes, the weight of a prime minister is really not enough.

"Sir, are you still checking?"

The Prime Minister's staff looked bitter.

The case of Ecstasy involves too much, and is like a thunderbolt. The deeper it digs, the easier it is to be blown to pieces.

"Ji Yun has been ill for a long time. If I can't even cure ringworm and scabies, how can I be the prime minister?" Wang Fu'an slapped the table and said solemnly: "Check, no matter who is found, we must investigate to the end!"

The staff had no choice but to continue to track down the clues submitted by various yamen, summarize and analyze them, and find out the clues.

At this time, someone came to report that a theater ticket and a wooden box were placed on the big table in the Prime Minister's study room.

"Theater tickets? Who gave them to me?"

Wang Fu'an was puzzled when he took the theater tickets. He didn't like going to the theater, so giving him theater tickets was like flattering a horse in the leg.

"Sent from Prince Ji's Mansion." the servant replied.

Wang Fu'an frowned and ordered someone to open the wooden box.

As soon as the wooden box was opened, everyone was shocked.

"Ecstasy..." Wang Fu'an narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "It seems to be a good show, prepare the sedan chair."

When a big show starts, there must be an audience.

Yunji didn't like one-man shows, so he invited some audience members.

The audience must have some weight, otherwise it will be boring.

There were longing figures on the stage outside Prince Ji's Mansion. Actors dressed in costumes began to clear their throats early in the morning. Before the main play began, the stage was already very lively.

There was a group of people standing under the stage, all with dull eyes, as if they were seeing a ghost.

These people are all from the Prince Consort's Mansion. They came to Prince Ji's Mansion today to transport the ten carts of goods. As soon as they walked to the door, they saw the stage.

"These actors are crazy. There is no one on this street. Who are they singing for?"

"Is it possible that the team is a new one and they don't dare to open their doors, so they need to find a place where no one is around to practice their voice first?"

"I think that's right. This troupe is very self-aware."

"Let's go, let's go. We have to do business. If we waste time, be careful of the whip of the Prince Consort."

The people from the Prince Consort's Palace left the stage and walked to the gate of the Prince's Palace to call the door.

After smashing the door for a long time, it was finally opened, but it was not Xie Ding who opened the door, but Yun Ji.

"Who are you, Xie Mentou?" the leader asked suspiciously.

"I am the steward of Prince Ji's Mansion. Why do you call me a steward?" Yun Ji said maturely.

"Butler? Since when did this damn place have a butler? Did you name yourself one?"

"You don't need to worry about who is sealed. Haven't you heard the saying that trouble comes from the mouth? If you have something to say, just say it. If you have nothing to do, stand down. No wild things are allowed in front of the palace."

"Hey! You guys are so grand. Do you know who we are? We are from the Prince Consort's Mansion!"

"Are you the steward of the Prince Consort's Mansion?"

"That's not the case. How can we, the housekeeper, take care of such a trivial matter personally?"

"You are either a housekeeper or not as big as me. If you dare to make a fuss with the palace housekeeper, you are very courageous."

The people in the Prince Consort's Mansion were made suspicious by Yunji's aura. Several people looked at each other and directly expressed their intentions.

"We don't care if you are a housekeeper or not, we are here to transport the goods, so please get out of the way."

"What kind of goods are you transporting? This is Prince Ji's Mansion, not the Prince Consort's Mansion."

"Hey, you guy, don't be so aggressive! Our prince-in-law's ten carts of goods are in the courtyard. If you don't believe me, call Xie Ding to ask."

"No need to ask, I am the steward of Prince Ji's Mansion, I can make the decision." Yunji said with his hands behind his back: "You want the goods, right? Go back and ask your consort to pick them up in person."
