Chapter 145 Spending a fortune
When Wei Lin arrived at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion with Qi Tianxing's letter, he was told that the princess was not at the mansion but had gone to the largest theater in the capital.
Upon entering the theater, one could see gold leaves being scattered onto the stage from the second floor.
Gold leaves were continuously scattered onto the stage like snowflakes.
Both those on stage and those downstairs were stunned by this extravagant display of wealth.
The news that Princess Jinzhi had taken a liking to Miaotangchun of Hechun Terrace and spent a fortune on her spread like wildfire.
When Wei Lin arrived on the second floor, he saw Qin Jinzhi sitting on the second-floor railing. At the very moment Miaotangchun took its final bow, she poured an entire box of gold leaves onto the stage.
Everyone on stage couldn't help but look at Qin Jinzhi.
A face so beautiful it was unbelievable, sitting casually on the railing.
Miao Tangchun felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
Looking at the stage covered with gold leaves, Wei Lin smiled and said, "If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to perform in operas too."
Qin Jinzhi didn't get up; she just leaned against a pillar and ate fruit.
"Your acting is much better than his singing."
Wei Lin handed the letter in his arms to Qin Jinzhi.
"The Chu delegation wishes to meet the Ninth Prince."
Qin Jinzhi took the letter and glanced at it casually.
"You've really pushed them to the limit."
Wei Lin smiled slightly, "After all, it was something the princess entrusted to me."
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose downstairs.
"What's wrong with letting Miaotangchun come out and have a drink with me, young master? How much silver have you poured into him, young master!"
He Chuntai's servant quickly pulled the man aside and said, "Young Master He! We have another performance to do later, how can we drink with you? We also have to be considerate of the other opera fans."
Young Master He immediately slapped the servant across the face.
"Young master told him to come out and drink with me, so he has to come out and drink with me! How dare a lowlife act so high and mighty!"
His guards immediately began punching and kicking the servant.
The theater manager said anxiously from the side, "Young Master He! Please calm down. Miaotangchun really can't come out to drink with you right now. If she drinks, how can the rest of the performance be performed!"
Young Master He kicked him in the stomach. "What? You've run into someone richer than me and you're turning your back on me? Let me tell you, if Miaotangchun doesn't come out today, I'll tear down your theater!"
Qin Jinzhi frowned as she looked at the people below. "Yun Que."
Upon hearing this, Yun Que flew down and kicked Young Master He in the stomach.
The person was immediately thrown two or three meters.
The theater fell silent instantly.
This young master He is the son of the Minister of Rites and is on good terms with the fifteenth prince.
He was used to being domineering in Beijing.
Qin Jinzhi's voice came from above, "Cut off two of his fingers."
Young Master He immediately shouted, "Qin Jinzhi! How dare you!"
Qin Jinzhi scoffed. So she had recognized her all along. Was she deliberately trying to embarrass her?
With the Qin family's military power dispersed, all sorts of demons and monsters dare to ride roughshod over her!
Qin Jinzhi stood up, pulled one leg back, and rested her arm on her knee.
"In this capital city, is there anything I, Qin Jinzhi, dare not do?"
After knocking down the thugs who surrounded him in a few blows, Yun Que swiftly brought down his knife.
"ah!!!"
When Miaotangchun came out, she saw the girl upstairs with a smug look on her face.
"Qin Jinzhi! You just wait! Your Qin family is finished! I'm going to tell His Majesty! I'm going to kill you!"
Qin Jinzhi chuckled softly, "What nonsense are you talking about, Yun Que? Throw him out."
Upon hearing this, Yun Que stepped forward, grabbed Young Master He by the collar, and threw him out.
The servants of the He family hurriedly chased after them.
Young Master He's eyes were bloodshot. "Go back to the manor and get men to surround Hechun Terrace!"
Qin Jinzhi glanced at Miaotangchun casually, "Keep singing."
Only a few seats remained in the theater.
They all left when Hibari made his move.
Many people have only heard of Qin Jinzhi's name, but have never met her in person.
Now that everyone knows it's that little devil, who would dare to stay here? What if they get caught in the crossfire?
Miao Tangchun nodded slightly, then went back to change into her costume.
He sang this song for only one person.
The lark came up with the two fingers.
Qin Jinzhi pulled her leg back. "Give this to the Chu delegation."
Wei Lin took out a handkerchief and wrapped the severed finger. "Wei Lin understands."
Qin Jinzhi pointed to the chair next to her, "Since you're here, let's listen to a performance together."
Wei Lin readily agreed and sat down to one side.
Sipping tea that costs a hundred taels a cup, they listened to the opera with smiles on their faces.
Just as Miaotangchun's performance was at its most exciting, Young Master He stormed in with about a hundred thugs.
His severed finger had already been bandaged, and he pointed at Qin Jinzhi with his other finger, saying fiercely, "Kill her!"
Miao Tangchun said anxiously, "Young Master He, it all started because of me. I am willing to apologize to you!"
Young Master He looked at him and said, "You can't escape either. Wait until I kill her, then I'll see how I torment you to death!"
Miao Tangchun's face showed worry for Qin Jinzhi.
Just as the thugs were rushing upstairs, a loud yawn was suddenly heard.
It looks like he just woke up.
Then came the sound of weapons being dragged on the ground.
Hu Aman and Hu Ajiao were seen swaying their necks as they walked out from behind the screen.
"Old Qin, this show was so enjoyable, I haven't slept this soundly in ages."
Hu Aman slung her double-edged axe over her shoulder. "Sister, it's been a long time since we had a competition. Let's see who cuts the most melons today!"
Hu Ajiao rubbed her double maces together and grinned, "That's exactly what I was thinking!"
With that, the two rushed into the crowd.
Qin Jinzhi looked at Miao Tangchun and said, "You, continue singing."
Miaotangchun let out a breath and gave the musicians a look.
The drums sounded again, and the thugs from the He family were splattered with blood.
"nineteen!"
Twenty-three!
"Twenty-seven!"
Thirty-five!
The theater was filled with the stench of blood.
Young Master He's expression grew increasingly grim as he watched the thugs' corpses fall one after another.
As the body of the last thug was thrown down.
Miaotangchun's performance has come to an end.
Hu Ajiao raised an eyebrow at Hu Aman, "Aman, I won!"
Qin Jinzhi pointed to Young Master He downstairs and said, "There's one more. Whoever kills him will be invited to drink Hundred Flowers Wine later."
Young Master He's face turned deathly pale. "My father is the Minister of Rites! You dare to kill me!"
Two enormous creatures suddenly appeared before us!
The axe and the mace came at him at the same time.
Suddenly, a whip cracked.
Young Master He was suddenly pulled backward.
"Jinzhi, why are you so angry?"
Then a man dressed in a brocade robe and holding a jade fan walked in.
A girl holding a long whip was also following beside him.
"He Qi has offended you. Uncle Fifteen apologizes to you on his behalf."
The person who arrived was none other than the fifteenth prince, Xiao Che.
Qin Jinzhi said with a nonchalant air, "Fine, you kowtow for me on his behalf."
Xiao Che's face immediately darkened.
"How dare you!"
The woman beside Xiao Che lashed out with a whip.
Hu Ajiao raised her long mace and wrapped it around the long whip, while Hu Aman cleaved the whip in two with an axe.
Qin Jinzhi smiled broadly, "Now, I want to kill two people, Fifteenth Uncle, which one do you want to protect?"
