Chapter 89 Wonderful Method and Wonderful Method
On the ox cart heading into the city, Su Lanzhang would steal glances at her second brother from time to time, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Su Fengzhang initially ignored him, but when he saw his face wrinkled, he pinched his cheek and asked, "Why are you looking like that? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate."
Su Lanzhang chuckled and then asked, "Second brother, are the rumors really nothing?"
"What? You don't believe that my second brother can solve it?" Su Fengzhang asked back.
Su Lanzhang scratched his ear and said, "Of course I believe my second brother, but, it's just a rumor..."
My mother rarely goes out, and my aunt never steps out of the house. Isn't it because they are worried about rumors spreading?
Su Fengzhang tapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Since you believe it, then don't worry. Don't overthink things at such a young age. You might end up becoming an old man."
Su Lanzhang pouted and turned away without saying anything. He felt that his second brother was becoming more and more naughty and was always bullying him.
After Su Lanzhang was sent to school, Su Fengzhang did not go directly to the county school, but instead took a detour to the other end.
Su Arong asked hesitantly, "Erlang, it's not a good idea to go to Wangchun Garden so early in the morning, right?"
"What are you thinking about? I have important things to do." Su Fengzhang glared at the person who was daydreaming, jumped off the carriage and walked in.
Elsewhere, a man from the mansion quickly walked into the courtyard and reported, "Your Highness, the scholar you were keeping an eye on just went to Wangchun Garden. However, Your Highness instructed us not to be discovered, so I didn't follow him in."
"Wangchun Garden, what is that place? Is it a brothel?" Wang Huan asked curiously.
The subordinate explained, "It's not the Qinlou or Chuguan, but it's almost the same. It's the most famous theater in Hushan County."
"What is Su Fengzhang doing at the theater so early in the morning? Does he have a lover in there?" Wang Huan suddenly became interested and asked with a curious spirit.
Unfortunately, no one could answer this question. The subordinate simply said, "Do you need me to verify it?"
Wang Huan waved his hand and said, "Forget it. You continue to keep an eye on him. No matter how many lovers he has, I am not interested in this. But he is still in the mood to go to the theater at this time. Can this matter really be easily resolved?"
What Wang Huan found strange was that after Su Fengzhang came out of Wangchun Garden, he went to the county school. He seemed to be completely unconcerned about the rumors and continued to read and practice calligraphy every day, as if he was not afraid of the wind and rain.
Even Wang Huan was puzzled. "Doesn't this guy think the rumors will die down on their own? I can tell there's someone behind this. I guess they have a grudge against him."
The subordinate who followed him hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, if you think highly of this scholar Su, why don't you let me handle this matter? Once it is resolved, you can leave for Beijing earlier."
Wang Huan said, "No, no, since he said he would handle it, I can't rush into the deal."
Su Fengzhang himself was not in a hurry, but the people around him were getting anxious one by one. It was a perfect example of the emperor not being anxious but the eunuchs were. No matter how he tried to appease them, they were all restless and irritable.
Liu Xiong was in the county school and heard the most rumors. He was even more worried about him and said, "Don't let me know who spread the rumors, otherwise he will be in trouble."
Su Fengzhang was touched but also a little helpless, so he could only say: "Brother Liu, how about inviting you to watch a play in Wangchun Garden today?"
Liu Xiong was surprised to hear this and asked, "Watching a play at Wangchun Garden? Brother Su, don't you always dislike watching plays? You were never willing to go when I asked you to before. Why are you so interested today?"
"Today's show is different from the previous ones." Su Fengzhang kept the audience in suspense.
Liu Xiong's appetite was whetted, but on the way there he still said, "It's already this late, and you're still in the mood to go see a play? Well, never mind, at least watching a play can make me happy. I kind of miss Min Dajia's singing voice."
The folk operas in the Hushan County area tend to be more like Yue Opera, but are more easy to understand than Yue Opera. I heard that the opera troupe in Qingzhou Prefecture is really good, and it is difficult to get a ticket when the famous actors take the stage.
The most famous actor in Hushan County is Min Dajia. He is very good at both singing and moving. Even when Mr. Cai holds a banquet at home, he will be invited to perform.
Liu Xiong was a loyal fan of Min Dajia. He was still worried about Su Fengzhang on the way, but when he saw the sign hanging at the gate of Wangchun Garden, he became excited: "It really is Min Dajia performing. I'm really making a killing today."
"Hey, 'Song of the Flower of the Year'? What kind of play is this? I've never heard of it before. Is it new?" Liu Xiong wondered curiously, grabbing a servant and asking, "I've never heard of this play title before. Is this a new play written by a great writer?"
The servant just smiled innocently and said, "Sir, I haven't seen this play either. You'll know when you see it later."
Liu Xiong said reluctantly, "I still prefer 'The Jade Hairpin' and 'A Dream of Red Mansions'. Lady Min looked really good in those two. Sigh, I wonder how this new play will turn out."
Not only Liu Xiong was curious, but the audience around him were also very curious. After all, the classic repertoires performed by Wangchunyuan in recent years were usually the same. Although there were new ones, they were always inferior to the most classic ones.
Suddenly someone sat down next to them. Liu Xiong was startled and turned around to see that it was a stranger. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and it was obvious that he came from a wealthy family. There was something strange in the way he looked at them.
Soon, the man greeted and shouted, "Brother Su, you are in a good mood today."
Su Fengzhang raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Is Uncle Wang still in Hushan County? We seem to be destined to meet."
"It's fate. This is my first time joining this makeshift troupe." Wang Huan laughed.
Liu Xiong was a little unhappy and said, "Wangchunyuan is the best opera troupe in Hushan County. How can it be called a makeshift troupe?"
"Oh, they're all the same." Wang Huan waved his hand and said, but his casual attitude made people around him unhappy.
Fortunately, with the sound of drums, the performance of "Suihuayin" began. Everyone looked at the stage and gave up arguing with him.
There was a drum on the stage, and a man in a green shirt and long gown was beating the drum to appeal for justice. The scene quickly moved to the court.
Liu Xiong said in surprise, "The name Suihuayin sounds like a story of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman, but now that I look at it, it seems like a case of a false accusation. Could it be the same plot as Dou E's Injustice? This is quite interesting."
Su Fengzhang also looked up to watch the scene. A courtroom with a bright mirror hanging high above appeared in front of the audience, and a startling sound of wooden clatter suddenly rang out.
On the stage, Mr. Min was pushed onto the stage by the bailiff. He was the defendant. It must be said that Mr. Min, as the pillar of Wangchun Garden, has some skills and can express the character's mood vividly.
As the case progressed, the people around were startled and shocked. Some even shouted, "Mr. Min must be playing the good guy. This guy is beating the drum to complain and complain. He's probably trying to frame him!"
"Yes, I felt something was wrong with him just now. Well said!"
"The county magistrate was clear-minded and was not deceived by him!"
"Oh, what should we do? He's trying to slander good people with lies. I hope everyone, Min, will be okay!"
"How despicable! This person is truly despicable. He actually killed someone just for a poem, and after killing someone, he even framed a good person. How could such a scoundrel actually pass the exam and become a Tongsheng? It's truly despicable."
Liu Xiong had experienced that lawsuit before, and seeing this, he couldn't help but turn around and look at Su Fengzhang, "Brother Su, this..."
Su Fengzhang smiled and replied, "I did write this script. How is it?"
"It's a story that is unraveled in layers, and each link is closely connected. It makes people worried and anxious. At least I think it's better than The Injustice of Dou E." Liu Xiong replied.
"Then keep reading. If you have any questions, ask me after you finish reading. How about that?" Su Fengzhang suggested.
Liu Xiong finally swallowed all the questions in his mind. He had obviously experienced that trial, but watching it again now, he still felt terrified. Several times he wanted to rush up and beat up the villain to see how he could frame the good people again.
If Su Fengzhang knew his mood, he would definitely explain that this was the so-called artistic processing. He naturally could not write out the case verbatim, as that would be too monotonous.
After artistic processing of the script, Mu Wei was originally portrayed in a very ugly way. But on the stage, Min Dajia appeared so innocent and so smart. In contrast, the other white-faced villain with triangular eyes made people subconsciously think that he was a bad guy when he came on stage.
The charm of TV dramas and movies lies in their ability to dominate the audience's emotions and silently instill their own views in the process. This is a terrifying magic.
The same is true of ancient dramas. If you look beyond the script, some people may notice the pitifulness of the supporting characters, but when you are immersed in them, you will only be indignant at the treatment of the protagonists.
Therefore, this "Suihuayin" written by Su Fengzhang originally had a strong bias, and in the process of adaptation, Min and others strengthened the opposition between the two characters in order to increase drama and conflict.
The chemical reaction between the two of them created the current grand occasion. The audience seemed to have forgotten that this was a play. One person even rushed onto the stage impulsively, shouting, "You bastard, I'll let you frame a good person!"
Fortunately, Wangchunyuan was well prepared and stopped the person completely, otherwise the play could not even be completed.
The trial process started with beating drums to appeal for justice, and ended with the scattering of paper money. Although good cannot prevail over evil, the sad erhu music at the end made people feel that the murderer was extremely evil and even his death could not eliminate the disgust and hatred in their hearts.
When Mr. Min led everyone out to express their gratitude, the audience shouted, "Mr. Min, that scene just now was truly amazing."
"Isn't it? Hey, the scholar you played is so pitiful. He originally had good intentions, but who knew he would be repeatedly framed. Fortunately, there are no such disgusting people in real life."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Min suddenly smiled and said, "You are wrong. Although 'Song of the Year Flower' is a play, it is not entirely fake. Our troupe leader heard about the lawsuit at the beginning of the year and asked someone to write this script."
"Which lawsuit? Could the story in 'Sui Hua Yin' be true?"
"Oh, I remember now. This, isn't this the same…" the person who spoke lowered his voice and said, "It's the murder that happened on New Year's Eve. Isn't it exactly like this scene?"
"What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
"The story has to start from last year's New Year's Eve. Actually, it's like this..."
