Chapter 9

She immediately asked: "Grandma, what's wrong?"

Old Lady Huo glared: "Back then, after knowing that Wu Laogou might have obtained a Warring States silk book from the blood corpse tomb, we all asked him if he had really seen the silk book."

"But Wu Laogou said he didn't bring anything out of the tomb!"

"Now this Zhang guy says he not only obtained it but didn't even keep it and let it be swindled away by a foreigner!"

"This stinky dog Wu Laogou is simply outrageous!"

Old Lady Huo was angry; the girl beside her didn't know if she was angry because the Wu family patriarch had lied to her grandmother or because he hadn't kept the Warring States silk book.

If the girl looked at it herself, she thought the Wu family patriarch losing the Warring States silk book was the most unforgivable thing.

He didn't even lose the silk book; it was swindled away!

Many of the Xia Kingdom's cultural relics were swindled away by foreigners.

But precious historical materials with written records like the Warring States silk book were simply priceless treasures!

To have this swindled away by foreigners, the Wu family patriarch was truly a sinner against the history and culture of the Xia Kingdom for all time!

But the girl thought again, with such a precious thing, the Wu family patriarch couldn't have been completely ignorant.

Silk books usually have characters or symbols on them; anyone who obtained them would definitely be unable to resist studying the characters.

But silk books are fragile and cannot be exposed to the air often, so they would definitely make rubbings.

"Grandma, do you think the Wu family patriarch might have made rubbings of the silk book?"

Hearing this, Old Lady Huo trembled all over, and then felt it was extremely likely!

She looked at the girl and said: "Hongxiu, go and have someone check on the descendants of the Wu family."

"See if they know the whereabouts of the Warring States silk book."

Huo Hongxiu nodded and walked to the side to make a call.

……

On the other side, Wu Tianzhen heard that the Warring States silk book had been stolen and his grandfather had become a sinner for all time, and he couldn't help but be anxious.

The fatty's eyes rolled, and he said to him: "Tianzhen, don't worry!"

"Things like silk books, if an ordinary person obtained them, they would probably make a few rubbings, right?"

"If the original was really swindled away by a foreigner, as long as the Wu family still has rubbings and hands them over to the authorities, it can be considered making up for their mistakes."

The fatty's words reminded Wu Tianzhen.

He decided that when he went back after listening to the story today, he would search through the old things his grandfather had left him.

Wu Tianzhen had brought all these things with him when he came to the capital for school.

The listeners in Sanqing Garden were also taking the whereabouts of the Warring States silk book seriously.

Many patriotic fanatics had already started cursing the Wu family!

"Damn! What kind of Pingsan Sect Wu family is this? They have the ability to enter the tomb and the ability to bring things out, but they don't have the ability to keep them?"

"I also find it incredible; logically, the Wu family is also an old hand in the business, how could they make such a low-level mistake?"

"And what is the identity of that American? If I find out, I'll definitely go dig up his ancestral grave."

"Pfft, buddy, you're too angry; the American's ancestral grave must also be in America; to get revenge, you'd have to go abroad, which isn't worth it."

"Now that such a precious national treasure is lost, I guess the authorities will receive news and investigate soon; let's just wait and see the investigation results."

"I really hope they can get the silk book back; even if they can't get the original, a rubbing would be fine! Rubbings can also show the precious historical records on it."

Everyone was discussing heatedly, and for a time, the whole theater was noisy.

Zhang Lin didn't try to maintain order; hearing the sound of storytelling points arriving in his mind from time to time, Zhang Lin felt it was extremely pleasant!

His purpose in storytelling was to cause a sensation and thereby obtain more storytelling points.

Based on the influence of the Warring States silk book being stolen, he estimated that he would soon have enough for a King draw opportunity.

……

Old Lady Huo in the second-floor box saw Zhang Lin smiling without speaking.

He neither stopped everyone from discussing nor helped the Wu family of the Laojiu Sect say a word.

This led some listeners to say more and more outrageous things, even starting to extend their dissatisfaction with the Wu family for losing the Warring States silk book to the entire Nine Sects.

Old Lady Huo couldn't help but frown and said to Huo Hongxiu, who had finished her call: "Hongxiu, I see this person telling stories, exposing the privacy of my Nine Sects, and he doesn't have good intentions."

Huo Hongxiu was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

She sighed that the old lady in her family was indeed difficult to serve!

Before, she said to let Zhang Lin tell whatever he wanted, anyway, the Huo family had nothing shameful.

But now, hearing someone dissatisfied with the Nine Sects, Old Lady Huo started protecting her own again.

Huo Hongxiu said carefully: "Grandma, he's just a storyteller, making a living with his mouth; he shouldn't have any other intentions, right?"

Old Lady Huo sneered: "Whether he does or not, this old woman sees it clearly!"

"How about this, you go and test him to see how much he really knows!"

After Old Lady Huo gave the order, Huo Hongxiu walked out of the second-floor box.

She said loudly to Zhang Lin, who was drinking tea below: "Mr. Zhang's storytelling is wonderful, and my grandmother is very happy listening to it; she would like to ask Mr. Zhang for some advice."

Zhang Lin looked up and saw a woman of about twenty, with a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure, standing at the door of a box.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it could be heard throughout the whole venue.

It was clear she was a practitioner, at least having real skills in the art of breathing!

Huo Hongxiu's words also attracted the attention of the whole audience, and then these people looked at Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin was not intimidated and said: "I don't know what your grandmother wants to know?"

Huo Hongxiu didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "Sir just said that there is a Laojiu Sect in old Changsha, and this Wu family is one of the Pingsan Sect."

"Can sir then list the Laojiu Sect for us? Specifically, which famous people are in this Nine Sects?"

What Huo Hongxiu asked was also what the audience was extremely curious about!

So everyone looked at Zhang Lin with hope.

Zhang Lin smiled slightly and said without fear: "The storytelling time for today hasn't arrived yet."

"Since that's the case, I'll list them for everyone."

"Today, let's start from the Lower Three Sects."

"Let me tell you all properly about the beauty, the calculator, and the chess master of the Lower Three Sects!"
