Liver in Water Margin, outlaw madman

Lin Chong arrived at the Yue Temple as fast as a galloping horse.

At a glance, you can see a group of people gathered in one place.

He took two steps at a time and shouted loudly, "Where did this petty thief come from, daring to harass a respectable man and his wife!"

As he spoke, he pushed through the crowd and saw a fat man blocking the stairs. His wife was standing upstairs, and opposite her stood a tall, thin man who looked like one of the hooligans.

Lin Chong reached out and grabbed the fat man's shoulder, turning him around sharply: "I'm the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards, who are you?"

The fat man was initially flustered, but being caught red-handed made him look rather embarrassed.

Upon hearing that it was the Imperial Guard, he didn't even turn his head and said, "I'm Gao Kan, mind your own business!"

He assumed it was another person like Wang Jin who liked to stand up for the weak and fight for justice.

"Back then, Wang Jin was also an instructor in the Imperial Guards. He loved to stand up for the weak. Look where he is now!" Gao Kan said with his hands on his hips and a sneer.

The capital city is full of powerful and influential people, and there aren't many he can't afford to offend. If they are princes or nobles, he'll avoid them.

The Imperial Guards were on their own territory, why would he be afraid?

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong's anger subsided by a third.

The situation became awkward for a moment.

Lin Chong kept his hand on Gao Yanei's, the pressure unconsciously loosening considerably, and forced himself to say, "Young Master, I am Lin Chong, and this is my wife!"

However, there was a hint of insecurity in his tone.

It was as if Lin Chong was the one who had made a mistake.

Gao Kan was taken aback and quickly turned around to look. Seeing it was indeed Lin Chong, he felt a pang of guilt, but still forced a smile and said, "Honestly, you don't even have your own wife with you? Don't you know how chaotic the world is?"

As he spoke, he slowly backed away.

He knew Lin Chong's martial arts skills and was afraid of suffering a loss.

"Fu'an, get out of here! Are you blind? You dare to stop anyone!" Gao Kan cursed.

He walked away cursing as he went.

Just as they reached the door, Lu Zhishen stepped forward and said, "Where are you going!"

Before becoming Gao Qiu's adopted son, Gao Kan had also roamed the streets and was considered a petty rascal. He knew best that a wise man doesn't suffer losses in front of him.

"Instructor Lin, is this your friend?" Gao Kan turned around, his expression now normal, and said with a somewhat condescending air.

Lin Chong's thoughts raced through his mind, his expression shifting repeatedly. He finally let out a long sigh, realizing that he was ultimately forced to submit to the circumstances.

He said in a low voice, "Senior brother, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Lu Zhishen glanced at Lin Chong, glared at Gao Kan with his bull-like eyes, and coldly shouted, "You're lucky this time, otherwise you'd get a taste of my three blows with my staff."

Gao Kan forced himself to remain calm, slipped out through the crack in the door, and ran away without looking back.

Seeing this, Zhang Shan gave a wink, and immediately two or three ruffians quietly followed them.

They're not good at direct confrontation, but they can still gather intelligence through surveillance and reconnaissance.

"Wife, are you alright?" Lin Chong rushed upstairs and asked worriedly.

Madam Lin's face was pale, clearly still not recovered from the panic just now: "My lord, how can there be such a dissolute man in this peaceful world?"

"That was Gao Qiu's adopted son, not some ordinary playboy," Lin Chong explained in a low voice.

He was powerless to do anything about his wife being harassed, and didn't even dare to get angry.

"Luckily, a few brothers protected me just now, otherwise, otherwise..." Thinking of this, Madam Lin felt a little scared and quickly thanked Li Si beside her.

Li Si clasped his hands in a fist salute and said with a smile, "Instructor Lin is teaching us martial arts, so naturally we can't just sit idly by."

Lin Chong then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother. I have something to attend to at home today and cannot continue. Let's talk another day."

At this moment, Zhang Shan came up and whispered, "Brother Lin, Gao Kan is a rogue, and so is Gao Qiu. They are the most unruly, so we should be careful."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong suddenly laughed: "Brother, don't worry. He didn't know she was my wife just now. Now that he knows, how dare he?"

Zhang Shan couldn't help but sigh, and didn't say anything more.

What else can be said?

According to common sense and the way most people think, that is indeed the case.

But Gao Yanei was not, and Gao Qiu was even less so.

These people are not normal ordinary people; laws and morals are meaningless to them.

They have their own set of values.

"I hope so. In the meantime, please spend more time with your wife at home, Brother Lin. As for martial arts, I'll practice on my own for now," Zhang Shan said sincerely.

There's really nothing he can do about this.

If you do too much, Lin Chong won't appreciate it. You can only make sure nothing goes wrong and give Lin Chong a heads-up.

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong fought the White Bone Demon three times.

In the Water Margin, it was Gao Qiu and Gao Yanei who teased Lin Chong!

He harassed Yue Temple once.

Lu Qian's home once,

Baihutang once,

Once at the Mountain God Temple.

As the saying goes, things should not happen more than three times.

This is outrageous!

What's even more frustrating is that Lin Chong actually endured it three times!

Zhang Shan could understand, but he couldn't accept it!

Back in the vegetable garden, Lu Zhishen said angrily, "If it were me, I wouldn't care who it was, I'd beat them up first."

Just as Zhang Shan was about to offer some words of comfort, Lu Zhishen continued, "However, this is Instructor Lin's family matter. If he doesn't pursue it, there's no use in us being anxious."

"Brother, Instructor Lin is different from us. He works under Gao Qiu. How dare we break ties with him!" Zhang Shan was also a little frustrated. He picked up his bow and arrow and began practicing against the wooden target.

"Those who work for others are subject to their authority!"

In later generations, which working person doesn't suffer mistreatment every day?

Countless times I've wanted to quit, but mortgage payments, car loans, children's living expenses—all of these require money.

It's alright when you're young, but as you get a little older, it's a daily ordeal!

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

All the grievances Zhang Shan suffered in his past life transformed into sharp arrows, shooting towards Zhou Bapi, Li Bapi, and Wang Bapi.

And behind it all lies that cannibalistic, evil, feudal old system!

Meanwhile, Lin Chong and his wife returned home dejectedly.

Gao Yanei was also somewhat sullen. Despite his outward appearance, he was inwardly frightened, genuinely afraid that Lin Chong would beat him on the spot.

Don't be fooled by the number of men around him; they're useless, none of them are a match for Lin Chong.

Lin Chong's martial arts skills were among the best in the Imperial Guard.

The hanger-on next to him, a thin man with a pointed head and shifty eyes, was none other than Fu An, whom they had just called out.

Seeing that Gao Yanei was in a bad mood, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Young master, don't worry, Lin Chong wouldn't dare to do anything!"

"Ah, why?" Gao Yanei's mind was filled with images of Lin Chong's fighting prowess.

Fu An said in a low voice, "It's true that Lin Chong is skilled in martial arts, but what's the use of being skilled?"

"No matter how skilled he is in martial arts, he is still under the jurisdiction of the Grand Commandant. There are many ways to deal with him. We can change his post, change his defense, or find any excuse to transfer him to a border post."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yanei quickly said, "That won't do. If Lin Chong is transferred, his wife will definitely go with him."

Even at this point, Gao Yanei was still thinking about Lin Niangzi.

This person is just despicable; what they can't have is always the best.

It becomes even more precious when it goes through some minor hardships.

Upon hearing this, Fu An laughed and said, "That's even simpler. We can just find any excuse to exile them to some remote and dangerous military prefecture. We can bribe the officials along the way and kill them directly."

Gao Kan felt a chill run down his spine after hearing this: "Fu An, I'm just a nice man's wife and daughter, how come you're even more ruthless than me?"

"Young master, I did this all for you!" Fu An quickly said, expressing his loyalty.

Gao Yanei nodded: "Yes, I know you mean well. Do a good job. You have the makings of an official. I'll talk to my father and give you a promotion in the future."

Upon hearing this, Fu An immediately knelt down on the ground: "Thank you for your help, young master. I am kind-hearted and do not want to harm Lin Chong. I have another plan."

Gao Ya felt an intense, itchy itch inside him, and his interest was immediately piqued:

"Say it!"
