Good Man Operation Guide

Chapter 140.1: Holy Monk (1)

The Lin family’s Zhenlong Escort Agency had a small reputation in the Jianghu, but a recent incident had made the once little-known escort agency famous throughout the north and south of the Great River.

(TNote: Jianghu = the martial arts world/ society.)

Firstly, the head of the Zhenlong Escort Agency was killed while escorting goods, and not only was he killed, but most of his men also died.

The escort agency suffered heavy losses and had to compensate the families of those escorting the goods with money.

Although the Zhenlong Escort Agency wasn’t well-known and didn’t have much wealth, it was still considered a big family in this small city. After the widow of the head of the agency, who had been left behind, managed to pull herself together, the wealthy local family, the Li family, who had previously been engaged to the Lin family’s young master, came to the door to break off the engagement.

This was an unscrupulous act no matter where it happened. But it was just a small city, and even if someone knew about the Li family’s misdeeds, they could easily move away and continue to live as usual.

As for the Lin family, they were no longer what they used to be, and only the second wife of Lin Lao Ye and two children who hadn’t yet reached adulthood were left. They were being oppressed by the Li family’s power.

Who would have thought that right after the engagement was broken off, the young master of the Lin family left home to become a monk?

If he had just stayed quietly in the temple, reciting Buddhist scriptures and knocking wooden fish, it would have been fine. But he happened to make a vow to save the world and convert evildoers, making those evil doers turn from their wicked ways.

(TNote: Wooden fish = A wooden fish, also known as a Chinese temple block, wooden bell, or muyu, is a type of woodblock that’s used by monks in the tradition of Buddhism.)

Was he fooling around?

The old master of the Li family, who had successfully broken off the engagement, sneered.

But soon he couldn’t laugh at the young man anymore.

Because half a month later, the Lin family’s young master, now known as Master Shiheng, had actually converted a very famous demon in the Jianghu.

As news of this demon being converted spread throughout the Jianghu, so did the news of Li family’s bullying tactics causing Shiheng to become a monk.

The Li family became infamous.

Old Master Li wasn’t happy at all.

Second Madam gave him a lot of silver, and Lin Shiheng accepted it all. As a wandering monk, he had to exceed other ordinary wandering monks in terms of equipment and wealth. Before leaving, Second Madam cried for a while, while holding him.

The birth mother of the eldest young master of the Lin family died of dystocia, and Master Lin didn’t remarry, entrusting him to his concubine, Second Madam, to take care of him.

Leaving him to her was more reassuring for Master Lin than to handing it over to anyone else.

Second Madam was originally a maid by Madam Lin’s side and grew up with Madam Lin. Compared with Master Lin, they trusted each other more. When Second Madam got first married to her former husband, she unfortunately encountered a tradition of domestic violence in her husband’s family and was beaten to the brink of death. When Lady Lin found out, she rescued her.

In order to keep Second Madam by her side, Madam Lin arranged for her to be married to Master Lin as the second wife.

But unfortunately, a difficult childbirth took Madam Lin’s life. Before she died, she didn’t say a word to Master Lin, but instead pulled Second Madam aside and begged her to take care of her child.

Second Madam tearfully agreed, and as she had promised, treated Young Master Lin like her own child, taking care of him more meticulously than anyone else, with the sole aim of helping him grow up quickly and inherit the Zhenlong Escort Agency.

Unfortunately, the original Young Master Lin was weak and sickly, and when the Li family came knocking on their door, he was overcome with shock and anger and passed away on the spot.

The child that Second Madam had raised herself was traumatized by the family’s misfortunes and became a monk, causing her to cry until she was almost blind. Even with all the preparations she had made, how could she let a young man who hadn’t yet reached adulthood venture out alone into the world and face those evil people? She couldn’t bear to let him go.

But Second Madam had been taught from a young age to listen to her father at home, her husband after marriage, and her son after her husband’s death. Despite her deep reluctance, she tearfully sent him away.

Watching the child she had raised take the name Shiheng as a monk, and leave in heavy robes, Second Madam gritted her teeth and wiped away her tears. She turned and threw herself into the battle to revive the escort agency and fight against the Li family.

It was obvious that she held the Li family accountable for the fact that the child she had raised had become a monk.

When Master Lin passed away, the child wasn’t in a good state, but he didn’t express any desire to leave the family. If it weren’t for the Li family’s excessive bullying, how could he have suffered such a blow and insisted on becoming a monk?

After blaming the Li family for this, Second Madam, who had always been weak and only knew how to cry, held her anger and went after them.

Li family!

I’ll moke you pay!
