The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 117

[Chapter 117: Erecting a Monument for Lin Tian]

Seeing Lin Tian coming out, Lin Kang, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, hurried to greet him.

“Master, what’s wrong with you? Did the Ma family make you unhappy again? Damn it!”

Seeing Lin Tian coming out with an unhappy face, Lin Kang thought that the Ma family had done something to his master again, and asked anxiously.

“It’s okay, there are two mad dogs barking, it’s just a little disturbing.”

Lin Tian waved his hand, indicating that nothing happened to him and there was no need to worry. Why bother about the nonsense of two dying people!

“Let’s go back to the mansion to see how Thunder Lightning’s boxing is going. I wonder if he has the three-point style of this master, hahaha!”

Lin Tian said as he walked out of the door.

Lin Kang followed behind, with a happy face, flattering, and coaxing Lin Tian to be happy.

“How can thunder and lightning be as suave, handsome, and vigorous as you, young master…”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Tian, who was walking in front, paused, let Lin Kang walk in front, and kicked Lin Kang in the butt.

“You kid, you are getting more and more skilled at flattering.”

Although Lin Tian kicked Lin Kang, he did speak happily.

“Ouch!”

Lin Kang cried out, and touched his butt that had been worn by the young master for a long time, but it didn’t hurt. He knew that the young master would not really kick him.

“Young master, please be gentle. If you kick it, who will run errands for you?”

As he said this, he trotted to catch up with Lin Tian who was about to walk out of the inner courtyard.

The two walked out of the gate of the government office one after the other, and the guards at the door said in unison with a humble attitude.

“Young Master Lin, take care!”

Lin Tian took Lin Kang away without looking back. Such a small person was not even worth waving to.

“Young Master, please walk slower, I can’t catch up!”

…

“Dong Dong Dong! The notice is posted, everyone come and have a look!”

A soldier at the city gate shouted after he posted a notice and banged a gong on the street.

Today, a big event was posted.

People on the street gathered around to see what the notice said.

“Mr. Zhang, you know how to read. Can you read what the notice says?”

“Yes, yes, read it. What does it say?”

Everyone said in unison.

Mr. Zhang, who was named, had studied for a few years and knew how to read. Usually, when a notice was posted, he would help read it out.

“The people of Liangzhou are ordered to tell the Liangzhou governor Ma Da to collude with the prince and the Tianlang gang to plot treason. The evidence is irrefutable. All nine clans will be executed.”

“Lin Tian of the Lin family has made great contributions in exposing the truth and has killed countless Tianlang gang thieves. He has made great contributions…”

Before Mr. Zhang finished reading, people around him began to talk about it.

“This Ma Da is really damnable. It’s fine that he bullies us on weekdays, but he actually dares to rebel. He really deserves a bad death!”

Ma Da has been the governor for many years. Not only has he not been a parent official for the people, but he has also been squeezing the people’s fat and blood every day. The people dare not speak out. His son Ma Zhuowen, relying on his father being the governor, has harmed many daughters of good families.

“I didn’t expect that this idle Master Lin is so powerful!”

“Yes, yes, I really didn’t expect it!”

“We should thank Master Lin. Whether it’s Ma Da or the Tianlang Gang, they have harmed many of us!”

“Yes, my poor daughter can finally rest in peace!”

A woman said while wiping her tears.

“Master Lin is really our great benefactor!”

“Everyone, come together and let’s erect a monument for Master Lin. He can afford this gift!”

“This is a good idea. I agree. I will donate half a string of copper coins.”

The butcher selling pork nearby said.

“I don’t have money, but I can help!”

Everyone was very enthusiastic, and each had their own opinions.

“I don’t have money either, but I can help”

…

“A-choo, a-choo!”

Lin Tian in the Lin Mansion was preparing to eat, but he kept sneezing.

“Who is scolding me, my young master? Do you dare to come out and scold me in front of me? I promise not to beat him to death!”

Lin Tian was having dinner with Lin Zuhua, and could only curse in his heart.

He was still not so arrogant in front of Lin Zuhua, after all, he was his father.

But he was used to the impression that everyone yelled and scolded him before, and for a while he thought someone was scolding him, but he didn’t know that they were praising him!

At noon, everyone gathered in the teahouse to eat.

People came and went in the teahouse, and there was a table in the middle. Behind

the table stood a middle-aged man dressed like a scholar, holding the table with his left hand and a wake-up stick in his right hand.

With a snap, the wake-up stick fell, and the originally noisy teahouse became quiet.

The tea drinkers upstairs and downstairs could not help but cast their eyes towards the storyteller in the center.

The storyteller cleared his throat, picked up the folding fan beside him, and then began to speak.

“The general is born with courage and bravery, with a slash of autumn water goose feather sword on his waist. The wind blows the drums and the mountains and rivers move, and the flags flash with lightning – the sun and the moon are high.”

After finishing the opening poem, he slapped the wake-up stick with a snap, and then continued.

“It is said that the eldest young master Lin of the Lin Mansion in Liangzhou City broke into the wolf’s den a few days ago and risked his life to save his father-in-law, fought against the bandits, and exposed the former governor Ma Da’s treason, saving the people of Liangzhou from the scourge of bandits and the suffering of war.”

He paused for a moment, took a sip of tea, and continued to talk about the details of the matter.

A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman asked the person next to him in a puzzled voice.

“Isn’t this Young Master Lin a well-known dandy? How did he become a hero?”

“You don’t know, this is news that came out from King Jing’s mansion a few days ago. Please listen to the storyteller’s details.”

A passing waiter heard the merchant’s doubts and quickly answered.

“… In order to save his father-in-law, Young Master Lin was surrounded by the Tianlang Gang and almost lost his life…”

The storyteller suddenly stopped talking.

“Dear guests, if you want to know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter.”

The storyteller slapped the wake-up stick, bowed to everyone and left.

Everyone was listening attentively, and he asked everyone to listen to the next chapter.

There was nothing he could do. This storyteller had this temper. After more than ten years, everyone was used to it. They could only discuss the following plot in twos and threes.

“Young Master, Young Master!”

Lin Kang hurriedly ran and shouted, all the way to Lin Tian.

“What are you doing, so impatient!”

Lin Zuhua, who was sitting in the upper seat and eating, put down his bowl and chopsticks and scolded.

“Master, you are here too!”

Lin Kang then realized that the master and the young master were having dinner, Lei Ting Lei Dian was waiting beside them, and there were two maids serving them.

“Tell me, what’s the matter? Why are you making such a fuss?”

Lin Tian also put down the piece of meat he had just picked up and asked slowly. He

didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all. This is the Lin Mansion, which is heavily guarded. There is no need to worry about sneak attacks.

“Master, young master, didn’t I go out to buy something just now?”

Lin Kang took a breath and said slowly, but there was a little excitement in his tone.

“Then I heard that someone said that they wanted to erect a monument for the young master.”

“What, erect a monument?”
