Lin Kai was still a little surprised when he saw the old man with graying temples and wearing armor in his line of sight.

After all, women like pretty boys, so it's somewhat reasonable for young men to wear makeup.

But you're over fifty!

My lips twitched.

"So it was the Earl of Dingnan."

"I did indeed meet Jiang Chulan before. The Marquis of Dingnan came here because..."

Lin Kai cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and spoke calmly.

You're over fifty, and I've been enhanced by the system several times. Do you think I'm afraid of you?

But Lin Kai hadn't finished speaking.

"Grandpa, how can you talk like that?"

"Young Master Lin, you look so dignified, how could you possibly have an aura of murderous intent about you?"

Wei Shengnan, standing to the side, put her hands on her hips, stomped her feet, and spoke with a displeased expression.

Upon hearing Wei Shengnan's words...

"General Lin, may I ask where my niece is now?"

"If my niece has unintentionally offended General Lin, I apologize to him."

Wei Zhentian turned to look at Lin Kai and sighed.

Lin Kai didn't say anything, but simply took out a signal arrow from his pocket.

...

Lin Kai felt that if Wei Zhentian came up and started making trouble right away, then so be it.

But since Wei Zhentian didn't, regardless of whether he was really "easy to talk to" or didn't think he would actually kill someone, let's raid his house first.

After all, if they delay by even a stick of incense, the Ai family might be able to sell a few more warhorses.

Wei Shengnan was still surprised when she saw Lin Kai take out the signal arrow, after all, she had seen it before, but not many times.

I was just about to ask something.

Then Lin Kai kicked open the gate of the Ai family mansion with a loud bang.

Seeing this scene.

"This young master Lin is truly blessed with superhuman strength..."

Wei Shengnan's face was full of amazement and admiration.

He offered a few words of praise.

"Grandpa, don't you think this young master Lin is just like me...?"

Wei Shengnan stepped forward, grabbed Wei Zhentian's arm, and stubbornly twisted her waist while speaking in a coquettish tone.

The sentence was not finished.

"Thump!"

The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground rang out one after another.

Wei Shengnan saw that the Ai family servants who had come out to inquire were lying on the ground, clutching their necks and staring wide-eyed.

"How could this happen... how could this be..."

Seeing the bloody scene before her, Wei Shengnan's pupils instantly contracted.

His throat bobbed a few times, and his face changed over ten breaths.

As chaos erupted at the Ai residence, and Wei Zhentian's face flushed red with rage, ready to unleash a furious roar...

"Young Master Lin, what are you doing!"

"How could you do something so despicable, worse than a pig or a dog? Aren't you afraid I'll be disappointed and never speak to you again?"

Wei Shengnan stomped her foot and let out a sharp roar.

And then those words fell.

"Exactly!"

"General Lin, you've committed such a brutal act upon your arrival. Aren't you afraid I'll report you to His Majesty?"

Wei Zhentian also spoke up loudly.

...

"?"

Turning his head, Lin Kai looked at Wei Shengnan, who was stomping her feet and roaring angrily, and Wei Zhentian, who was trembling and shivering. He was somewhat bewildered.

The Ai family sold warhorses and armor to enemy countries, and I confiscated their property, yet I'm treated worse than a pig or a dog?

Why are you looking at me?

"Even if the Ai family is at fault, couldn't you have tried to reason with them first, and then reported it to the Emperor if they wouldn't listen?"

"They were just dealing in warhorses and armor, what right did you have to kill them?"

Meeting Lin Kai's gaze, Wei Shengnan raised her chin and snorted coldly.

He paused after saying that.

"You've disappointed me so much."

"Your cruelty is worse than that of pigs and dogs..."

Wei Shengnan lowered her head, wiping away her tears as she spoke.

Lin Kai understood.

It turns out that when Wei Shengnan said "punishment," she meant to reason with the Ai family and make them realize their mistakes...

next moment.

"Young Master Lin, even if you apologize to me, I absolutely will not..."

"laugh!"

"You beast! You actually killed my granddaughter! I'm going there right now..."

"And you!"

"I originally planned to raid their house first, since there are priorities, but you're the one who jumps out and gives orders, aren't you?"

Lin Kai shook the blood off his longsword, glanced at the pop-up data panel, and snorted coldly.

He turned and glanced at Ai Houyu, whose face was deathly pale.

Lin Kai stepped over Wei Shengnan's corpse with his right leg and walked straight toward the Ai family's gate.

...

Although Lin Kai killed anyone who resisted after entering the room.

But the Ai family's resistance continued.

This includes, but is not limited to, insults, crying, threats, and moral blackmail.

But after 500 soldiers from the vicinity arrived, the Ai family was essentially doomed.

As the sun set, night fell over Pingnan City.

Approaching the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), at the former Weifu (prefectural residence).

"Young master, we seized 760,000 taels of gold and 4.2 million taels of silver from the Ai family."

Choi Ki carefully began to speak while flipping through the account books.

"In addition, 3700 sets of armor and 3.2 shi of grain were found in several of the Ai family's storehouses. Later, under interrogation, 7700 warhorses were found in several farms outside Pingnan City..."

"..."

Lin Kai glanced at the flickering candlelight and fell silent for a moment.

He suddenly became suspicious of the ordinary businessmen in the female-oriented online community.

What shocked Lin Kai the most was...

How can the Ai family have so much money, yet the city walls of Pingnan are so dilapidated? Just how "easy to talk to" is Wei Zhentian? And how incompetent is that military governor of Kunnan Prefecture?

I hesitated for a moment.

"The captured supplies were added to the supply battalion."

"In addition, two million taels of silver will be allocated to the families of the soldiers."

Lin Kai waved his hand.

"As you command, young master."

Choi Ki nodded.

"What should we do with those rioters in Pingnan City?"

"Upon hearing that the Ai family's property had been confiscated, these people launched multiple attacks on the barracks, even injuring several soldiers in the process..."

Looking up at Lin Kai with a hesitant expression, Cui Ji stammered as he spoke.

"Well……"

Lin Kai suddenly had a headache.

With Wei Zhentian, this "easy-going" leader, there's no need to guess what kind of person Pingnan City really is.

For example, after Lin Kai raided the Ai family's property, the Lin family's military camp experienced dozens of attacks within a few hours.

Lin Kai even saw a man barge in while he was eating...

He glanced at the flickering candlelight, then at the map on the table.

After half a cup of tea.

"Kill them all."

Lin Kai narrowed his eyes.

"Kill them all? Young master, that's over 1000 people, shouldn't we...?"

"Female-oriented content is so deeply ingrained, why keep it around if not to kill it?"

Before Cui Ji could finish speaking, Lin Kai interrupted him.

It's a good thing to step out; otherwise, what if you're fighting on the front lines while your own backyard is in turmoil?

He paused for a moment.

"In addition, the families of wounded soldiers will be given 30 taels of silver, but if there is a next time, they will be expelled from the Lin family army immediately."

"Young Master, is this...?"

"Soldiers who have been training for over half a month were injured by city residents? What use are they?"

Lin Kai waved his hand.

...

Lin Kai believes that the prerequisite for strict discipline is that the head coach takes the lead.

If these people who dared to rebel because "other aristocratic families were raided" are not suppressed and killed with swift and decisive measures, it is hard to say whether our army will dare not kill in the future.

However, before going to sleep, Lin Kai still burned an incense stick for Wei Shengnan.

After all, if it weren't for her "leading the way," Lin Kai wouldn't have obtained those thousands of warhorses and armor.

the next day.

While Lin Kai gathered laborers in the city to build the Pingnan City wall, he also ordered his soldiers to continue their training.

After all, Pingnan Pass has been captured, so the next step is definitely to head straight for that richest man in Jiangnan.

It wasn't until the third day, around 3 PM, that the Wei family arrived at their residence.

"Huaiyang City has flat terrain, perfect for cavalry charges. That's the one!"

Sitting in the first seat, Lin Kai pointed to the city on the map and nodded.

After making the decision.

"Pass on my order: the entire army will rest for a day, and tomorrow at Mao hour (5-7 AM)..."

Lin Kai looked up at Cui Ji.

The order was only half-finished.

"Report! General! There's a letter for you! This man named Ai Houyu instructed me to deliver it to you at all costs!"
