Lord God Investigator

The day before "Midsommar", the Bradlow Theater Company held a ticket sales meeting for the first performance of "Titanic" at the Five Flagons Inn.

The long-awaited citizens of Ascatla City swarmed in and blocked the hotel lobby. Luo Feng had to temporarily change the location of the sales meeting and move it to the street outside the hotel.

A small platform was temporarily built at the entrance of the hotel. Luo Feng and his team members stood on the platform and looked down. It was really a sea of ​​people. The bridge was filled with people jostling each other. It was estimated that there were thousands of people!

The original plan was to sell a thousand tickets today and have three performances tomorrow, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.

This kind of density of filming is already the limit of the Bredlow Theater Company. On the one hand, a play has to be performed continuously for three hours. For the actors, it is a severe test in terms of physical strength. On the other hand, the illusionist Carla even wears all the clothes. Even with the addition of magic equipment with spell slots, illusion magic cannot support the fourth game.

Thousands of people came to buy tickets, which means that the vast majority of people will not be able to buy tickets.

Moreover, Luo Feng took a closer look and found that the people who crowded to the front were all strong men with fierce looks on their faces. Almost all of them were thieves by profession. They were threatening other citizens in evil ways and would take the next step. People who wanted to buy tickets were chased away.

This is obviously a group of scalpers!

Without thinking too hard, Luo Feng could guess that the merchants and nobles in the city must have offered a reward on the black market for tickets to the performance. Maybe a ticket that originally sold for 5 gold coins had been sold to a sky-high price. If these scalpers are allowed to indulge, there will be no common people in the performance venue, and all the tickets will be taken by wealthy businessmen and nobles.

This is not okay. Luo Feng performed the stage play in order to increase his reputation and complete the investigation mission. If the reputation of the theater troupe can only be spread among the aristocratic circles, and the audience of "Titanic" is only the rich, then the influence will spread. The speed will be greatly reduced.

After all, the number of rich people is far less than that of poor people. Even in Amn, a city where money is paramount, the social structure is pyramid-shaped, and the poor are the base of the pyramid.

Luo Feng frowned and thought for a while, then took a step and shouted to the crowd: "Dear citizens, thank you for your love. I feel very honored that so many people came to support me!"

"Sell your tickets quickly, we have been waiting for a long time!"

"Stop talking nonsense and sell me your tickets!"

"Yes, stop talking nonsense. We are here to buy tickets, not to listen to your nagging."

…

The scalpers closest to the stage were clamoring, and some even secretly showed off their shadow thief daggers, shaking the blade from a distance to threaten Luo Feng. Most of these guys are disciples of the Shadow Thieves Guild. They are very skilled in bullying and extortion, and they are very arrogant.

Luo Feng smiled slightly, pointed at the group of scalpers in the audience, and ordered the town guards in Daqiao District who had already assembled: "Drive away those who shout the loudest, and drive them out of Daqiao District. At the ticket sale meeting Don’t let them get close until it’s over!”

The town guards rushed forward with their spears raised, picked up the shadow thieves, and dragged them all away without saying a word.

After this period of time, the town guards of the Bridge District already knew who was the boss in this district. The guard captain of the Bridge District had a disagreement with Braderoin over the dispatch of guards to guard the theater. As a result, the city hall issued an order the next day. The guard captain was dismissed from his post on the ground that he could not solve the skinning case.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the inability to solve the case is just an excuse. The skinning case has been pending for more than a month. Doesn’t the security captain have a stable official position?

Less than a day after he had an argument with Bradero, he was sent home. The twists and turns here are clear at a glance.

In the eyes of the Amn guards in the Bridge District, Bradero is the real guard captain of the Bridge District, and his words are much more effective than the newly appointed substitute captain.

"Okay, your name is Bradlow, right? I'll remember you!"

One of the leading scalpers shouted viciously as he was being dragged away: "You have offended someone you shouldn't have offended. Sooner or later you will kneel down and beg me to forgive you!"

Luo Feng narrowed his eyes and kept that man's appearance firmly in his heart, thinking that you are the one who has offended and should not be offended. Even if one day you kneel down and beg me, I will not forgive you!

Ignoring the dog's barking, Luo Feng said loudly to the people gathered in the audience: "Our troupe can only perform three performances tomorrow. This is already the limit of the actors and the creative team behind the scenes. We can only sell a thousand copies at most today." The tickets are far from meeting the needs of the citizens who want to buy tickets."

The people were whispering to each other, and there was a low roar of mixed discussions.

They had given up any hope of buying tickets, but the front row was surrounded by Amn film thieves. Once the theater troupe started selling tickets, these film thieves immediately paid to cover the tickets and resold them on the black market to make a fortune. Citizens Due to the power of the Shadow Thieves Guild, they dared to get angry but dare not speak out.

However, things took a turn for the better. The great performer Bradero was not afraid of the threat of the shadow thieves at all, and asked the Amn guards to drive away the shadow thieves.

They waited eagerly to hear what Bradero had to say next.

"So, I have decided that, firstly, to thank everyone for their love, secondly, to make 'Midsummer Festival' more fun, and thirdly, to celebrate the first performance of the Bredero Theater Company, there will be no charge for tomorrow's performance, and we will no longer sell tickets. Instead, we take the form of free tickets and give away tickets to everyone for free!”

"Wow! It's for free!"

"Bred Rowe, the great showman, is such a good guy!"

"Free tickets, does this mean I might also get a ticket?"

"A ticket was sold for one hundred gold coins on the black market, and it was given away for free!"

…

The citizens gathered in the audience were in an uproar when they heard this.

“Tickets are given away in two ways.”

Luo Feng explained to the crowd with a smile: "The first is for couples to exchange kisses for tickets. Any young couple over 18 years old and unmarried who come to the stage and kiss in public can get two tickets for free."

Midsummer Festival is approaching, and citizens are not as cautious as before. Such a bold public kiss is not considered deviant, and dozens of couples immediately signed up.

Soon more than a hundred tickets were given away. In order to prevent these tickets from being stolen or snatched by film thieves, Luo Feng announced in public that if the couple who came with the tickets tomorrow was not him, the free tickets would be invalid.

"The second way is to give away tickets through a lottery."

After completing the couple's ticket giving session, Luo Feng continued to announce: "We will issue ticket stubs with numbers to every citizen present. Please bring your ticket stubs to the performance tomorrow. We will announce the winning numbers on the spot. The winning citizens can hold the tickets. Enter."

The citizens thought about it carefully and found that this method was very interesting and fair. After getting the numbered tickets, they would not know whether they had won the prize until before the show started. Even if the film thieves wanted to grab it, they might not be able to grab the winning ticket.

Rich people looking to buy tickets may just buy a bunch of invalid numbers if they buy lottery tickets in large quantities.

Although it cannot completely prevent the rich from spending huge sums of money to obtain winning tickets, it can be regarded as ensuring that a considerable number of ordinary citizens will have the opportunity to attend stage plays.
