In the great world of martial arts, you use the Tao of Talisman to rule the ages

Chapter 144 Acting for Heaven
Entering Beicheng and turning a few more corners.

Chen Lin took out a cloth bag from the black stone on the way, which contained the tears shed by the old cow last time.

Soon we arrived at Shanshi.

Although it is somewhat popular, it is much less popular than half a year ago.

Walk into Uncle Xiang’s shop.

A figure was crouching in front of the counter, tapping on the abacus.

Compared to the last time we met, he seemed a lot more haggard.

"Uncle Xiang." Chen Lin greeted and took the lead in placing the bag of teardrops on the counter.

"This is..." Uncle Xiang raised his head and couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he saw the familiar bag, "The teardrops of the Thunderfire Four-horned Ox?"

"Ah."

"We are lucky in Beiguanzhou. With Lu Mengze blocking the flames of war, we should not be able to burn this place..."

"The city is getting more and more chaotic..."

Uncle Xiang screamed in surprise, quickly raised his hands to receive it, and looked at him complainingly:
"Too frizzy!"

"Don't stop!!"

"Is he the Meng Crab hero who helped people beg for money in Nancheng recently?"

Chen Lin looked at the crowd, "Some of the people around him are craftsmen from Dongcheng, and some are fishermen. They seem to have passed through Nancheng."

Meng Xie publicly selected an unlucky man who had been beaten by a slave of a wealthy family, and decided to seek justice for this man.

"These people regard Meng Xie as the only savior."

at this time.

People with long sounds beating gongs and drums walked through the streets and alleys, attracting a lot of attention.

Chen Lin frowned when he heard this.

"The situation is getting worse and worse. In just one year of fighting, the imperial court has already lost three states. You must know that the entire Da Tao only covers ten states."

"Yeah, I'll pay attention next time."

Chen Lin stood aside and asked about the recent situation.

"My mother-in-law was kidnapped two days ago, please help me..."

Even in mountain cities, there are people who can't help but join in and tell the story of the disasters they have encountered.

Chen Lin walked to the window, opened a hole and looked out.

Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he was keenly aware that a noisy sound in the distance was getting closer and closer.

There was a lot of noise outside, and the sound of crying and roaring came like a tide.

"Is Meng Xie coming?"

There was so much commotion outside that Uncle Xiang dropped what he was doing.

"These are several taels of silver!"

Just like last time, Uncle Xiang hurriedly closed the door, brought out the fine wooden boxes, carefully inspected them one by one, and then put them into the wooden boxes.

"The Meng Crab hero from Nancheng is here!"

While Uncle Xiang was speaking, he did not forget his heartache and a few squeezed tears, and earnestly told Chen Lin to be more careful next time.

"The great savior Qingtian is here!"

"Suddenly there is a Meng Xia who is willing to make decisions for the people. Naturally, he will be regarded as a life-saving straw by these people with grievances..."

In the surging crowd, thousands of ordinary faces looked up eagerly, each shouting and squeezing crazily toward the center.

Uncle Xiang responded sentence by sentence:

Chen Lin took the initiative to untie the bag and wanted to pour out the beads inside.

"Do justice for heaven!"

Chen Lin responded casually.

Amidst the noisy cries, one shocking incident after another is shocking, including home invasions, robbery, abduction and trafficking of women and children, harvesting and mutilation...

"If he doesn't stay in Nancheng, why did he come to our Beicheng?"

The weather was hot, but the enthusiasm on the faces of the many people seemed even hotter. It seemed as if everyone was crying loudly and pleading, and the atmosphere was extremely sad.

There were several young men standing on the street, with airy looks. One of them had a bald head and the other had buck teeth. I had seen them around Meng Xie before.

"I do not know either."

Uncle Xiang listened carefully to the various cries of the people outside, and suddenly understood the reason: "Everywhere is unsettled now, and the government is very worried."

Many people gathered around them all the way, and the noise was so extraordinary that even the store clerks who had nothing to do were curious and came out to check.

"Please help me get my money back!"

The group of people immediately rushed toward the West City with great vigor.

The crowds came and went, and many people from Shanshi followed.

Only Chen Lin noticed that outside the crowd, there was a group of inconspicuous figures taking a path and running in front of everyone...

"Is he the spy of a wealthy family in Xicheng?"

"What?" Uncle Xiang didn't hear clearly.

"nothing."

Chen Lin excused himself casually.

Uncle Xiang returned to the counter and continued to check the teardrops. On the other hand, he was quite emotional.

"Although this Meng Xie may have some problems with his background, he has not forgotten his roots and is willing to help these poor people."

"I heard that he helped to collect wages from the He family a few days ago. In today's world, if there are a few more people like this, maybe a few more families can survive..."

"It's really hard for people now."

Chen Lin agreed with Uncle Xiang's statement, although Meng Xie was actually a "wage" for rogues and had nothing to do with ordinary people.

He couldn't help but think of what Sword Master Xu had just said. Perhaps the only one who could change the current situation was Emperor Zhaowu who was sitting high in Tianjing.

Ordinary people cannot stop the general trend of the world.

Unless he becomes an immortal instantly, he can help this but not that.

Uncle Xiang's voice suddenly came from the side.

"The teardrops have been installed. Ah Lin, take it back and put it away. Don't bump it on the road."

"Just leave it here with Uncle Xiang."

Chen Lin waved his hand, suddenly remembered the Sanniang guy he met on the way here, and asked casually.

Uncle Xiang was quite surprised.

"Did you meet Huang Ya? The waiters at Sanniang's place have long since dispersed, and now there aren't many people drinking. How can she afford to hire people?"

"Huangya went to the sidelines to get money, probably because he had a way to make money... Alas, there is nothing he can do. If he doesn't harm his own people in Shanshi in the future, he will be considered kind."

Sigh.

Uncle Xiang didn't say anything more.

Chen Lin thought for a moment, then turned around and asked when construction of his new house would start.

"The scheduled date is the fifteenth day of next month. Ah Lin, are you asking this to bring it forward?"

"Well, I'd like to trouble Uncle Xiang and let him start the construction as soon as possible. I'm not short of money recently and want to move into a new house as soon as possible."

"Also, try to hire as many people as possible. It doesn't matter if you have children, as long as they can help."

As he spoke, Chen Lin reached into his arms and took out several large silver ingots from the black stone, totaling three hundred taels.

They were all obtained from Bai Qiantou before.

This is only part of it.

Uncle Xiang was stunned for a long time and finally figured out what he meant.

He quickly agreed:

"Okay, I'll pick people from the families of those in need in the mountain city. I'll make sure that all of them are willing to work hard and I won't waste a single coin from you, Ah Lin!"

"It's just that these three hundred taels of silver are still too much... If you use them all to hire people, I'm afraid your whole house will be occupied, and most of the people will have no work at all."

Uncle Xiang was a little worried as he spoke, and in the end he only reached out and took fifty taels.

Chen Lin was also stunned for a moment and then reacted.

"Then just build a few more rooms."

"What does Alin mean?"

"It would be good to buy more land around the village and build some teahouses and coffee shops first."

"That's okay!" Uncle Xiang felt that this was a good idea, "There have been a lot of people over there recently. Maybe it will really prosper in the future, and then we will make money."

……

……

Xicheng, Zhang family.

The house slave rushed into the door in panic and reported Meng Xie's movements.

After hearing this, the housekeeper immediately went to report to Zhang Shichang.

"...In other words, that Meng Xie brought people to the door to find trouble because of the Dong family's slaves hurting people in the name of doing justice for heaven?!"

Zhang Shichang was silent for a moment. After all, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and slapped the table repeatedly:

"Fucking bear!"

"Before, I thought this man was less of a threat than Chen Lin, so I teamed up with several others to support him. However, this man first bit the He family, and now he wants to bite the Dong family!"

"And in the end, just because of this trivial matter?!"

Zhang Shichang was so angry that he was dizzy and kept panting.

He felt he was wrong.

It's really wrong.

Although Chen Lin killed people and destroyed his family... so far, he had only killed people who had a grudge against him. All the misfortunes were borne by the He family.

They even followed and took part of the He family's property.

But this Meng Crab is completely different.

"This is a mad dog!"

Amidst the roaring, Zhang's housekeeper was shaking like chaff from the side, panicked and didn't say a word.

Similar situations continue to play out in the homes of other wealthy families in Xicheng.

Especially the head of the Dong family.

When he saw Meng Xie leading thousands of people blocking the door of his house, he couldn't help but feel deep regret in his heart...
