Why would he watch "Ghost Lady Buries her Husband" all of a sudden?
Everyone in the troupe was also shocked!
It was because of this play that there was a murder case … Zhao Jiaban was reduced to such a state.
Now that Ji Yunshu said she wanted to listen to this play, wasn't it the same as sprinkling salt on the muzzle of their guns?
Class Leader Tao confirmed, "Young Master, are you sure … it's' Ghost Lady Buries Your Husband '?"
"That's right, this is the play."
"This … why don't we change?"
"I won't change it. It will be 'Ghost Maiden Buries her Husband'!" Ji Yunshu was absolutely certain.
Class Leader Tao's expression wasn't good as he said, "But Wang Jun is already dead and Zhang Xiaobai is still in prison. I'm afraid no one will sing for him."
Jing Rong said, "Even so, I'm sure there's someone else who can replace him."
"I do, but I'm just afraid that … I won't sing well."
"It's okay if you don't sing well, we don't mind."
"But …"
"No buts."
Class Leader Tao insisted, "Little Qu's body isn't good and she's still resting. I'm afraid she won't be able to sing."
Ji Yunshu said, "It doesn't matter if it's someone else, as long as they can speak!"
The standards were very low.
In short, they were determined to watch this show today!
In the end, Class Leader Tao could no longer refuse, and with the ingot of gold in his hand, he could only agree.
Then, he began to get people to prepare.
Ji Yunshu and the others sat on the first floor, waiting for the show to begin.
It was Li Wenshu's first time coming to such a place.
He was more or less curious!
But more than that, he was probing for information.
He was on his guard.
Li Cheng pulled her to sit at a table alone.
"Sister, how is this place?"
"It's alright."
"I heard that they sang 'Ghost Mother Buries Her Husband' very well."
Li Wenshu narrowed her eyes and looked at the table that was covered with curtains. She said, "The case of bones was discovered on that table?"
"Yes, over there," said Li Cheng.
Hmm?
"You were there too?" Li Wenshu asked.
"Nope!"
"Then how do you know?"
"Listen to me," Li Cheng said.
F * ck!
Li Wenshu did not question him further. Her gaze inadvertently drifted towards Bai Yin who was sitting on the other side.
That man always keeps a straight face.
Serious in speech and manner.
The words "Strangers Keep Away" were written all over his face!
Bai Yin seemed to notice that someone was looking at him. He glanced sideways.
His eyes met Li Wenshu's!
Their eyes met.
In an instant, Li Wenshu shifted her gaze away guiltily. Her fists in her sleeves tightened as she stared at the stage without blinking.
Waiting for the show to start.
Bai Yin did not think too much about it.
He retracted his gaze.
Backstage.
The people in the troupe were already putting on makeup.
He changed his clothes.
All of them were in full swing!
Suddenly, someone said, "Those people are too strange. They didn't want to watch any other play, but they insisted on watching 'Ghost Lady Buries her Husband'. They knew that something like that had happened. How unlucky."
Someone immediately echoed, "Isn't that right? Aren't they afraid of getting into trouble?"
"The murderer hasn't been caught yet. What if something really happens later? I don't want to die yet. "Someone was very worried.
"Don't scare me."
"I'm not trying to scare you."
Troupe Leader Tao also knew that everyone was afraid, so he comforted them, "I know you are worried, but this is probably the last show of our troupe. Everyone, sing well. When you are done, I will give you all the money that young master gave. So, cheer up, maybe there won't be another show in the future.
Perhaps there won't be another chance to sing together in the future. "
At this point, everyone couldn't help but feel a little sad.
After all, they had been in the Zhao Troupe for so many years. How could they not be sad now that they were about to leave?
Everyone braced themselves for the last performance.
At this time, Gao Dali was also putting on a clown's makeup.
In fact, he only had the part for the first two acts!
He walked alone to the curtain at the backstage. He lifted a corner of the curtain and looked ahead.
Coincidentally, he saw Ji Yunshu and the others sitting there. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, filled with complex emotions.
It was hard to guess what he was thinking.
Soon, the play began.
The lanterns in the theater were extinguished one by one, leaving only the ones on the stage.
It created a terrifying atmosphere.
The curtain on the stage slowly opened.
It was the same as the previous "Ghost Mother Buries Her Husband". First, they got married. Then, in the play, Liang Sheng met the daughter of a rich family, Xiang Xin.
Until the fourth act —
Originally, in this scene, Liang Shenghua should have put on a very ferocious appearance. For the sake of his future and money, in order to be with a rich lady, he drugged his wife, Furong, and knocked her out. Then, he slashed her face and pushed her into a dry well. Furong screamed in pain!
But —
This scene, however, had changed!
It was changed to Liang Sheng and Furong having their last meal. The two talked sadly, and both of them had some feelings in their hearts.
Then, Liang Sheng stood up and sang, "My husband's heart has fallen today, but my wife can't blame me."
Furong sang with tears in her eyes, "My cold body is not as precious as that man, but my husband is cruel enough to abandon me."
But Liang Sheng had made up his mind. He stood up and left.
Furong pulled him, begging him to stay.
Unexpectedly, Liang Sheng pushed her away forcefully, his palm hitting her ribs on the chest, causing Hibiscus to fall backwards.
The back of her head violently hit the sharp corner of the table.
"Bang!"
Furong died on the spot.
Liang Sheng was frightened.
His face was pale.
In order to cover up his crime, Liang Sheng lied to the public that his wife died of illness.
Ji Yunshu watched calmly. She was not surprised.
She shook her head slightly.
She frowned and said, "The acting is not particularly good."
Song Zhi heard her and asked, "Did I write it wrong?"
"No, Young Master Song wrote it very well."
It turned out that this was the new script that Ji Yunshu asked Song Zhi to change.
After Gao Dali finished the second act, he stood backstage and watched the situation.
He did not know why the scene was suddenly changed.
Although the people on the stage still had the same makeup, but … he felt that they were different people.
But their singing did not change!
At this moment, Gao Dali realized something.
He tightened his grip on the curtain.
His veins could be seen!
His sunken eyes became more and more gloomy.
They were filled with murderous intent and hatred!
He stared at Liang Sheng on the stage.
And it was not only this scene that was changed. The following scenes were all changed as well.
There was no terrifying scene of Furong climbing out of the well. Instead, all the attention was suddenly focused on a clown.
A … clown with the exact same makeup as Gao Dali!
It turned out that the clown had always liked Furong.
He suspected that Liang Sheng killed Furong in order to be with Xiangxin.
Therefore, he put on Hibiscus' favorite clothes and disguised himself as Hibiscus. In order to take revenge on Liang Sheng, he killed Xiangxin. Unexpectedly, that night, Liang Sheng happened to see him and shouted that he had seen a ghost.
After that, the clown killed Liang Sheng.
