The Wang family of Zhenyuan City is indeed a branch of the Wang clan of Ruzhou.

However, the Wang family of Ruzhou has a deep-rooted foundation of three hundred years, and the number of collateral branches that have moved out is already countless.

Wang Xin's branch was nothing more than an ordinary one among the many collateral branches.

The true core of the Wang clan of Ruzhou is the lineage of Wang Jin, the current prime minister.

Wang Xin specially obtained a plaque inscribed with "Wang Clan" from Ruzhou. Instead of enshrining it in the ancestral hall, he hung it in the center of the main hall, revealing his ostentatious display and high regard for the clan.

"you--"

Wang Xin's eyes suddenly turned red, and he angrily rebuked Lin Feng: "You dare to ruin my Wang family's plaque? How dare you! Once General Qiao arrives, you'll be in big trouble!"

The sword Cheng Ying was still trembling slightly, as if mocking Wang Xin's incompetent rage.

Lin Feng simply smiled faintly: "It's just a broken plaque. I can destroy it if I want to! Even if General Qiao comes, what can he do to me?"

"Master Wang, are you refusing to let me into the mansion to prevent me from investigating the major case of General Zhang Liao's assassination?"

Enraged, Wang Xin pointed at Lin Feng and shouted, "You investigate your case, what does it have to do with my Wang family? Lin Feng, a member of the Wang clan of Ruzhou, how dare you insult me ​​like this?"

"I will definitely send a letter back to Ruzhou, asking the elders of my family to report this matter to Prime Minister Wang!"

"You just wait!"

Wang Xin was already furious. Not content with bringing up Qiao Ping, he even had to bring up Wang Jin, this big shot.

At this moment, Zhang Lu whispered a reminder to Lin Feng from behind: "Lord Lin, the Wang family is quite influential in Zhenyuan City. If they can really get in touch with the Wang family of Ruzhou, you should think twice and not make enemies so easily."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone resolute: "What do I care about the Wang family of Ruzhou or Youzhou? I only know how to handle cases!"

"Men, seize suspect Wang Qian!"

Upon hearing this, the officials behind him were about to step forward, but Wang Xin roared and stopped them: "Stop! Let's see who dares to move! What right do you have to arrest people? My son has not left the house for many days and has nothing to do with the assassination of General Zhang!"

"Lin Feng, I know you and my son Wang Qian had a grudge over trivial matters, but you can't use that to slander me!"

"Guards! Protect the young master! Anyone who dares to step forward will be killed without mercy!"

The guards, who were fed by the Wang family, naturally had to protect the Wang family. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and gather in front of the main hall to block the officials' way.

Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Patriarch Wang, why don't you ask your eldest son yourself whether he's involved or not?"

As he spoke, he took two steps forward.

As soon as these two steps were taken, the guards were immediately on high alert.

This was especially true for protecting the leader.

He gripped his weapon tightly, his whole body tense, and his eyes held an unconcealable fear as he prayed silently that no one would lay a hand on him.

After all, even if they were tied together, they would be no match for this commander!

Lin Feng peered through the crowd at Wang Qian, his voice cold: "Young Master Wang, you're a grown man, how can you be so cowardly?"

Wang Xin turned his head, a hint of suspicion in his eyes as he looked at his son: "Eldest son, is this matter... truly related to you?"

Wang Ling leaned close to Wang Qian's ear and said urgently, "Brother, don't hide it anymore! If you don't speak up, the Wang family will be in big trouble!"

Wang Qian looked at Lin Feng, then at Wang Xin, and the immense pressure made him burst into tears.

"Father! I was foolish for a moment, and was misled by that scoundrel Liu Cheng, actually paying someone to kidnap my bride!"

"But I really didn't participate in the assassination attempt on General Zhang! Waaah..."

Wang Xin stood frozen in place, his head exploding with a "buzz".

He had already heard about the background of the assassination attempt on Zhang Liao.

The kidnapping of the bride on Caiyun Street led away the guards of the General's Mansion, giving the assassin an opportunity to sneak in and carry out the assassination while the defenses were lax.

He never dreamed that the kidnapping case was inextricably linked to his own precious son!

"You! You beast!"

Wang Xin let out a strange cry, rushed into the main hall, snatched the scabbard from the guard's hand, and swung it at Wang Qian.

"I'll beat you to death, you good-for-nothing!"

"I told you to stay home and reflect on your mistakes, and this is how you reflect on them?!"

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

The scabbard struck Wang Qian, leaving wounds of varying depths.

Wang Qian rolled on the ground in pain, crying, "Father! I know I was wrong! I really didn't participate in the assassination!"

Wang Xin's eyes widened in fury, and he struck even harder: "You bastard! I don't expect you to be ambitious, I don't expect you to be able to manage the family business like the second son, you just need to eat, drink, and have fun, but you insist on bringing a catastrophe upon the Wang family! You wretched beast!"

Enraged, he swung the scabbard around and smashed it hard against Wang Qian's forehead.

"father!"

At the critical moment, Wang Ling reached out and blocked the attack.

With a muffled "bang," a piercing pain instantly swept over his arm.

"Stop fighting! If you keep fighting, my brother will be beaten to death!"

Wang Xin was panting heavily when he suddenly threw the scabbard to the ground.

"We should beat this beast to death!"

He turned around, the rage and ferocity on his face instantly fading, and he forced a smile at Lin Feng.

That look was even uglier than crying.

"Lord Lin, I was rude just now."

After saying that, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lin Feng, his expression changing as quickly as turning the pages of a book.

Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, a calm smile on his face: "Patriarch Wang, the matter is clear now. I won't waste any more words. Hand over the person!"

Wang Xinqian chuckled twice, softening his tone: "Lord Lin, I still have a relationship with Lord Qin, the Provincial Judicial Commissioner of Youzhou. Thoroughly investigating major cases is the duty of the Provincial Judicial Commissioner's office. How about this, I'll write a letter requesting Lord Qin to conduct a thorough investigation?"

The three offices of Youzhou—the Provincial Administration Commission, the Military Command Commission, and the Provincial Judicial Commission—each held political, military, and legal powers respectively.

However, the three offices of the Ministry of Justice were all located in Youzhou City, which was more than 50 miles away.

Now, the three powers of Zhenyuan City are actually in Zhang Liao's hands, and the three departments have no say in it at all.

Lin Feng immediately understood: Wang Xin wanted to use his connections to exonerate his son and completely remove the Wang family from the case.

His smile deepened, but his tone turned colder: "So, Patriarch Wang is unwilling to hand over the person?"

Wang Xin quickly smiled obsequiously, "No, how could I dare not hand it over? It's just that we need to wait for Lord Qin's document to arrive before we can proceed according to the rules."

Lin Feng didn't respond, his smile vanished, and he said coldly, "Zhang Lu! The Wang family refuses to hand over suspect Wang Qian. His father, Wang Xin, and his brother, Wang Ling, are both suspected of involvement. Arrest them all!"

"Anyone who obstructs will be killed without mercy!"

Zhang Lu's heart tightened, and he secretly groaned.

Wang Xin has a lot of influence, but Lin Feng has an even fiercer temper.

This isn't just about arresting Wang Qian; it's about wiping out the entire Wang family!

"What are you waiting for? Make your move!"

Lin Feng shouted loudly, and the officials had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward to arrest the man.

"How dare you! I am a member of the Wang family of Ruzhou, you cannot arrest me!"

Seeing this, Wang Xin immediately shouted at the guards, "What are you all standing there for? Stop them!"

His guards wanted to stop him, but when they met Lin Feng's cold gaze, none of them dared to move.

They had long heard of Lin Feng's terrifying combat prowess.

If you try to stop them, even if you're killed on the spot, you'll have no recourse.

In a matter of moments, Wang Xin, Wang Qian, and Wang Ling, along with the women of the Wang family, were all captured!

When the Wang family members were escorted out of the mansion, the onlookers immediately erupted in uproar.

"I can't believe it! The Wang family patriarch has actually been arrested?"

"What did the Wang family do wrong? Who dares to mess with them?"

"Shh! Leading the way is Commander Lin Feng!"

"Is that Lin Yingxiong? Why is he personally coming to arrest people?"

On the way, Zhang Lu was covered in sweat and couldn't help but advise, "Sir, the Wang family has extensive connections. You've completely offended them."

Lin Feng's lips curled slightly, his tone indifferent: "So what? Wang Qian dared to kidnap my bride; what I've done today is already lenient!"

He had been arguing with Wang Xin for a long time, hoping that the Wang family would make the first move so that he could take the opportunity to quickly and decisively eliminate the Wang family as a threat.

Once an enemy is formed, he never shows mercy.

An eye for an eye must be retaliated against, and a grudge must be settled!

Unfortunately, the Wang family ultimately didn't dare to make a move, which deprived him of some pretext for settling scores.
