Chapter 52
Yongli 16 years, at the end of September.

The hot weather is gradually coming to an end, and there are still one or two cool breezes blowing on the street from time to time.

The news of the fall of Suzhou Province was concealed several times, but it still spread to the people.

At the beginning, it caused great panic. Since Dongsheng Province and Suzhou Province are closely connected, the gentry and common people here were the first to receive the news.

The gentry who were still on the sidelines went north one after another, scrambling to escape to those safe places.

However, after the Seven Holy Army captured Suzhou Province, they did not take any further actions. They have been recuperating in the province. They even started exempting from tax and light corvee, and spent money to rebuild the city.

After a period of calm, the panicked people settled down instead, and because of the departure of those self-respecting gentry, many counties appeared more lively and prosperous than before.

The departure of those who usually domineering over their heads and searched for the people's anointing brought smiles to the faces of the people.

There are scattered people in teahouses on the side of the road.

There were two or three shouts from the boys on the street.

A storyteller in a long gown in the Liangji tea shop shook a folding fan in his hand.

"Snapped!"

Xingmu clapped, and the storyteller's voice came.

"It is said that the Zhang family in Lanling County, Suzhou Province does all kinds of evil, bullying men and women. The youngest son of the Zhang family even forcibly snatches a civilian woman and sends him to the house every day. The local people all hate him..."

Lin Shou just came out of Huamanlou, and walked into the tea shop amidst the voice of the storyteller talking and singing.

Lao Liang was so fascinated by the bookman's story that he didn't even realize that Lin Shou had walked in.

It was the buddy who walked up to Lao Liang's ear and whispered a reminder, and Lao Liang finally realized it, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him courteously.

"Lin Daochang went to discuss the Tao with Peony and Oiran again?" Lao Liang enthusiastically guided Lin Shou, and at the same time he said jokingly.

Lin Shou looked at the middle of the lobby, the storyteller was already full of guests, but there was only one empty Four Immortals table left.

This empty table was specially reserved by Lao Liang for Lin Shou and Zhong Yunyi, and no one else was allowed to sit there even when there were the most guests.

Lin Shou was able to turn a blind eye to Lao Liang's teasing, but with a proud smile on his face, he teased back: "It's not like that, Lao Liang, at your age, you can't understand the enthusiasm of those courtesans who take turns talking to me. ah."

"Hahaha, that's naturally not as good as Lin Daochang. Come, Lin Daochang, please, your place is always reserved for you." Lao Liang led Lin Shou to the table of the best four immortals in front of the storyteller's stage go.

"Old Liang, I asked you to hire a storyteller. Isn't that a good idea?" Lin Shou nodded in satisfaction, and followed behind Old Liang.

Old Liang smiled like a chrysanthemum on his old face, and he turned around and responded, "Thanks to Lin Daochang's suggestion, Old Liang, my tea is almost in short supply."

"Don't miss out on the salary of the storyteller. This storyteller is the best in Huashui County. Seeing that your business is so good, it's inevitable that other people's tea shops won't learn from it. The competition will be whose one. The storyteller is more capable." Lin Shou couldn't help reminding the storyteller on the stage looking hard.

Lao Liang nodded, expressing that he knew that he was also a smart person and would not do such short-sighted things.

Squeezing through the crowd, he finally came to the table, only to find a woman dressed as a knight-errant in front of the table of the Four Immortals prepared by Lao Liang for Lin Shou.

The buddy at the side was blocking her, it seemed that this heroine had taken a fancy to this position.

The clerk wiped the sweat from his forehead with a cloth towel hanging from his body, and persuaded him, "Oh, heroine, don't embarrass me, who doesn't know that this table is reserved for Lin Daochang."

"Isn't this thing just a matter of first come, first served? It's not like I don't have money, so here it is!" the heroine said with a heroic look in her eyes, and slapped a silver ingot from her cuff to the table, and said proudly.

The guy's face was even more perplexed, and the tea drinkers around were surprised that this ingot of silver was equivalent to a thousand Qianbao banknotes, which was enough for ordinary people to eat for a month.

What's more, the reputation of the Daqian Banknotes has plummeted, and the silver is much more valuable than the Daqian Banknotes. Even the voice of the storyteller on the stage can't help but pause and take a sip of tea.

On the other hand, everyone also felt that this heroine was a little unreasonable.

Those who drink tea at Laoliang Tea Shop don't know Lin Shou, and everyone agrees that this table of four immortals is reserved for him. After all, it was Lin Daochang who suggested finding the storyteller.

The guy has said it a few times, she still insists on sitting in this place, it's not embarrassing what it is.

Seeing this, Boss Liang hurried forward to persuade him. He didn't want to offend the tea guests who came to drink tea, but he also didn't want to make Lin Shou feel unhappy.

But Lin Shou stepped forward to stop Lao Liang, patted him on the shoulder, and then said to the heroine: "If you don't mind, let's compete with Pindao."

The heroine frowned, but when she saw Lao Liang next to Lin Shou, she finally nodded reluctantly, cupped her hands and said, "Thank you very much..."

There was no trace of gratitude in the words, but Lin Shou made a please gesture with a slight smile on his face.

The heroine didn't hesitate at all, she sat on the side of the Four Immortals table very cheerfully.

Boss Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly called the guy next to him to bring pastries and tea.

"Lin Daochang, you just need to tell the buddy what you want here, and we will forgive you today." Lao Liang cupped his hands to Lin Shou, and said with a bit of apology in his tone.

Lin Shou waved his hand nonchalantly, expressing that he understood his difficulties, then he took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, listening to the storyteller on the stage with great interest.

The female hero was a little dissatisfied at the side, and abruptly stuffed the money into the clerk's arms, and said, "I don't like to eat other people's free food, and I covered all the expenses for this table today."

The buddy looked at Lao Liang and Lin Shou with some hesitation, and put it in his pocket after the latter's signal.

After some twists and turns, the storyteller on stage just got to the point of the plot.

"A chivalrous Taoist master carried the coffin to the door of Zhang's house and asked them if they wanted to buy a coffin. Everyone in the Zhang family was furious and called dozens of evil servants under him to attack the Taoist priest with bows, crossbows and swords. To make a move, the Taoist master unhurriedly released the spell with his left hand, and held the sword in his right..."

Lin Shou was drinking tea and eating cakes below. He heard that something was wrong, and almost sprayed the tea on the face of the female hero opposite.

Isn't this the fucking thing that I came to seek revenge from the Zhang family?How did it all get here, and even be shown off by the storyteller as a legend?
The storyteller put down the folding fan at this point, slowly picked up the teacup, raised his head and took a sip, and then wiped the sweat on his neck with a towel without haste, but the audience below couldn't wait to ask.

"Say it, tell it quickly, how did the Taoist priest punish the Zhang family!"

"The Zhang family is really hateful. I heard that he used to be the county magistrate of our Huashui County, and he did countless nasty things to bully men and women. There are even rumors that they colluded with bandits to rob and destroy the family!"

"This is not a rumor. My aunt's second son, third uncle, once worked in Huashui County..."

"Don't interrupt, don't interrupt, listen to what Mr. has to say!"

Mr. Storyteller cleared his throat, and continued: "That Daoist is unparalleled in Taoism, and his swordsmanship is like a banished immortal. In an instant, the sky thundered, the golden light shone, and the sword light was fierce. The Zhang family was killed without leaving any armor behind. All the 76 members of the Zhang family were exterminated, and then the Taoist priest collected the Zhang family's bones and distributed all the Zhang family's money and food to the local people..."

"Okay!" The audience below applauded. May I ask which ordinary people don't like the story of robbing the rich and helping the poor?
 Thank you for the reward of Meiyangyang Dominating the Douluo Continent
