Chapter 746: Old Master Tang wants to play Cao Cao
When the class leader heard this, he was like, "Oh, it's all over. I'm afraid we won't be able to make it through this class today."
When this small opera troupe travels from village to village, what they fear most is encountering this kind of powerful person.
If you meet someone with rich money, maybe he can give you some money.
But these days, there are few powerful people who behave themselves, and many who bully others by taking advantage of their power. If you just beat them up or scold them a few times, that's still easy to deal with, but if you meet someone who is attracted by your beauty, that would be difficult to deal with.
Actors are of the lowest class, they can be tortured in any way they want!
"Sir, what should we sing?"
The butler laughed grimly and stroked his beard. "What are you going to sing? Hehe, it's not difficult for you. Sing The Drunken Concubine. Our old master is still waiting. Let me tell you, if you sing well, it's fine. If you don't sing well, I have the intention to take care of you, but the gun has no eyes!"
When the class owner heard this, he shuddered all over.
"Sir, this, this, the Drunken Concubine is a big show, we can't sing it!"
The Drunken Concubine is not only a big drama with a grand scene, but more importantly, at this time, The Drunken Concubine is a pink drama!
"Fen" is the powder of makeup, so it is easy to understand why it is called "fenxi".
The Drunken Concubine became a classic play in later generations, but that was after Mr. Mei improved it. Before the improvement, it was a complete borderline play and was banned in some places.
Because the imperial concubine was drunk, she had to behave herself, and she had to think about how Gao Lishi served her and how she missed Emperor Minghuang of Tang.
It's a bit explicit in some places, well, it's very popular among the local tyrants and evil gentry these days.
"Can't sing? Fine, if you can't sing I'll take your heads!"
"My dear grandfather! We really don't know how to play this play, and we don't have the costumes. Please be merciful and change it. I beg you, I really beg you!"
The butler stroked his beard again, looked at the boss who was kowtowing on the ground, and thought for a moment.
"Since you can't sing and don't have the costumes, I'll ask you to sing a simple song. If you still refuse, don't blame me for being rude. Do you think it's over after I kill you? I tell you, being shot is a pleasant experience. Come on, bring the dog up!"
As he spoke, two servants came up with two wolfhounds.
The dog was very ferocious. It bared its teeth and barked at the troupe, making everyone tremble with fear, especially the young female role.
This female role was not beautiful, but she was young and pretty. She had only been in the troupe for a short time and was a poor person. She had never seen such a scene before and was frightened to tears on the spot.
The housekeeper was stunned. What a beautiful lady with tears in her eyes!
"Master, we will sing, we are willing to sing, please order another one!"
The housekeeper then said proudly: "Then we will act out the battle of Wancheng, and our master will play Cao Cao!"
Everyone was stunned, and then they realized that this was what they had planned from the beginning!
If the Drunken Concubine is just a borderline scene, then Zhan Wancheng at this moment is truly not suitable for viewing.
This play comes from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and tells the story of Cao Cao's expedition against Zhang Xiu, who was defeated and surrendered. After Cao Cao entered the city, he fell in love with Zhang Xiu's aunt.
The front part is not important, the key point is how good they are.
According to the performance method at that time, a bed would be set up on the stage and then the curtains would be drawn. The female role playing the aunt would interact with Cao Cao on the bed and then show one leg to the audience.
It is said that there were people who specialized in this, and they didn't even need any lines, just this one leg could attract the audience.
However, no matter how attractive it is, it is still a performance in the final analysis, and it certainly cannot be used for real. But if Old Master Tang wants to play Cao Cao, then it’s hard to say!
The people in the troupe were so angry after hearing this!
Isn't this a waste of people?
Everyone was stunned and couldn't say a word. The housekeeper threatened: "Okay, get ready, the show will start soon."
Then he looked at the female role and said, "I'm telling you, don't even think about playing with them. If you dare to make any mistakes, these people will die! If we in the Tang family want to kill you, it's as easy as crushing an ant!"
After a busy period, the stage was placed on the stage and the curtains were put up.
Old Master Tang satisfied his craving with his pipe, took a pill, rubbed his hands, and was about to go on stage.
A dozen concubines below looked on with dissatisfaction.
The dressed-up female role looked at the old man, whose face was full of wrinkles and age spots. He didn't have many good teeth because of smoking opium, and he drooled when he smiled. She was so scared that she almost fainted.
The old man was about to drag the female role onto the bed, and the housekeeper also sent away the servants, leaving only the concubines in front of the stage.
In the blink of an eye, a gunshot rang out!
The old man was so excited, but he was frightened and almost fainted.
The butler was also dumbfounded, but he didn't think much about it and roared: "Damn it, whose gun went off accidentally!"
Then, there was a popping sound of gunfire, and the butler realized that this was not an accidental discharge!
But who is brave enough to call the Tang family?
Isn’t this seeking death?
Just as I was thinking of looking outside, the gunfire in the front yard stopped again.
Then there was the sound of footsteps, and a group of men in black ran in.
This group of people were very organized. Some were watching the door, some were guarding the house, and more were approaching the stage.
The butler stepped forward to say something, but a man on the opposite side raised his hand and fired a shot.
boom!
The butler's head was almost blown off and he fell to the ground.
Everyone in the troupe held their heads in their hands, and the troupe leader even shouted, "Good man, good man! We are a passing troupe, and they kidnapped us!"
The men in black ignored him, went to the stage, grabbed the old man and identified him carefully.
It was hard to recognize in the dark, but the yard was filled with angry lanterns.
The man who grabbed the old man looked at him carefully and confirmed that this was Tang Guangyuan's father.
Then with a wave of his hand, the man in black took the old man out.
They walked all the way to the door of the Tang family mansion, kicked the old man down, and then one of them drew a knife.
Swish!
A head fell to the ground, and the man in black took a rope, tied the head and fastened it to the door of the mansion.
"withdraw!"
When there was no more noise, the people from the troupe ran out trembling with fear, and only then did they see corpses all over the ground.
Some of them are family soldiers, and some are members of the Tang family.
"Boss, boss! What should we do? Should we report this to the police?"
The one who was speaking was the drummer. Apart from the troupe leader, he had the highest status in the entire troupe.
The boss stamped his feet and said, "Call the police? These bastards deserve to die. Bah! Hurry up and get your things. Run, run to the west! If you run too slowly, you won't be able to leave!"
Everyone then realized that the group of heroes had left, and if they didn't run away, they would definitely be caught and used as scapegoats.
So they all picked up their luggage and ran away.
Half an hour later, the Baodi patrol team finally arrived. When the leader saw the scene, he immediately stopped his brothers from moving.
"Call, call Tianjin quickly, we can't handle this anymore!"
