Lin Huaizhang knew very well that he couldn't provoke the imperial court. As a merchant like himself, although he seemed to be wealthy and powerful on the surface, he also had considerable power in secret. He could use money to influence many officials to work for him. Some bolder ones even colluded with underworld forces, becoming local tyrants in ordinary places.

But even the most powerful local warlord, when confronted by the state machine, will only have one fate: to be completely crushed.

This is Lin's deep-seated fear of the imperial court.

But in the end, he never saw it with his own eyes.

Now he truly saw the power of the state machine.

Nothing is impossible for the court to accomplish.

Anyone targeted by the Imperial Court, no matter how powerful their connections or deep their roots, will face immediate annihilation.

Cognition is cognition, even the deepest apprehension pales in comparison to the shock of seeing it with your own eyes.

Before his eyes, blades clashed and soldiers marched, their faces cold and merciless. Their weapons glinted with a chilling light, reflecting the anguished cries of merchants who were being attacked. Some of them were old acquaintances of Lin Huai Zhang's, having done business with him in the past. Witnessing this scene firsthand sent a shiver down his spine.

"You, all of you, are so cruel. Don't you fear a rebellion from the people" Lin Huai Zhang asked, summoning his courage.

He wasn't accusing, just confused. Confused as to how the Jinyiwei could be so bold and domineering.

Hu Fei's mood seemed good. He grinned and said, "Resistance Who dares to resist Whoever dares to defy me, whoever wants his head chopped off, come on! Besides, we never deal with those impoverished peasants, but you merchants..."

Before Hu Fei could finish his words, a sudden burst of shouting and killing cries, along with the desperate roar of a man driven to the depths of despair, erupted from a luxurious mansion across the street.

"Chen men, the imperial guards of the Jinyiwei have made it clear that they will leave no room for our family to survive. Just because we took back the silver that rightfully belonged to us from the money lenders, they want to eradicate us! Chen men can stand and die, but never live on their knees. All Chen descendants, follow me into battle! Kill these dogs of the court and escape outside. The world is vast; as long as we have silver, we can find a place to settle and make a life for ourselves. It's better than being slaughtered like livestock here!"

A roar of anger, filled with intense rage, echoed through the air, causing everyone around to tremble in fear.

Lin Huaizhang was also terrified.

He could tell this was the voice of Chen Xian, the head of the Chen family. The Chen family primarily dealt in tea, with a trade route running from the south all the way to north of the Yellow River, spanning several provinces. They were a prominent clan, just as powerful in their region as his own Lin family.

And in that case, had he not stopped me, it would have inevitably come out from my younger brother Lin Huaiyu's mouth anyway.

Lin Huaizhang subconsciously turned his head to look at Hu Fei.

Hu Fei grinned savagely, his face contorted with murderous intent. He ordered without hesitation: "Left and right, go and kill all these clueless dogs! Leave none alive!"

The nearby Jinyiwei immediately responded, each one rushing into Chen's mansion without a word, looking ferocious. Not long after, sounds of fighting and shouts came from inside.

But the Chen family's fighting ability was obviously no match for the Jinyiwei. In a short while, the shouts turned into screams, and the previous sounds of fighting became the horrific wails of a one-sided massacre.

"Want to broaden your horizons"

Hu Fei suddenly spoke, before Lin Huai Zhang could refuse, he was picked up by Hu Fei like a chick and carried toward the Chen family's wide-open gate. ruthless three words left Huangji Tian extremely embarrassed.Looking at Huangji Tian, who seemed momentarily speechless, Li Chen burst into laughter and said, "Your Majesty, I was just teasing you.
