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.
