My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!

Chapter 384: The Threat of the Phoenix



Bing State.

A few days ago, Imperial Censor Li Nuo arrived in Bing State, becoming the laughingstock of the local officials and gentry.

Undeniably, his father, Minister of Justice Li Xuanjing, wielded immense power in Chang'an, a force even the famous families feared, but this was the realm of the Wang family in Jinyang, where even dragons and tigers had to tread cautiously.

But their laughter lasted only a few days before they couldn't laugh anymore.

Days later, Imperial Censor Li Nuo returned to Bing State.

Meanwhile, the Wang family issued orders to launch a crackdown in the Bing State area.

Having operated in Bing State for countless years, the Wang family knew everything about the region.

In just one day, hundreds of offenders were captured.

The County Magistrate's Offices across various areas were commanded to arrest countless malicious and oppressive individuals.

The Bing State government office showed no mercy, punishing and sentencing these people as needed.

No one knew what had happened, why the Wang family, which had been protecting them a few days ago, suddenly revoked their protection and started pursuing their crimes.

Wang Family.

In a courtyard of their mansion, Li Nuo leisurely sipped fragrant tea, browsing through a pile of case files on the table.

The people the Wang family helped him capture far exceeded the number Wang Duo's information had indicated.

Compared to his previous hard work of visiting and investigating, in recent days, he didn't have to do anything; he could merely drink tea and write books, and others would settle the cases, leaving him to merely stamp the case files.

If he could receive such treatment everywhere he went, it would be ideal.

Realizing it was impossible to bypass the Wang family in handling those offenders, Li Nuo decided to employ the power of the School of Calligraphy.

Hence, there were incidents like Wang Shuo's sudden death, Lu Xiu's accident, another person dying in a brothel, and one crushed by a collapsed house. Normally, these events would require intricate designs and arrangements, but to the School of Calligraphy, they're simply a matter of moving a pen.

However, these means couldn't be applied to everyone.

Most people were unaware of the School of Calligraphy's existence and wouldn't think in that direction, but while one or two incidents could be seen as misfortune, ten or eight would raise alarms even with fools.

Moreover, facing those with even a slight Martial Path cultivation, Li Nuo was powerless.

The one who ties the knot should untie it; on the Wang family's territory, it's best for the Wang family to take action.

At this moment, elsewhere in the Wang family, within a bright hall.

A man looked at Wang Yun, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say, "Big Brother, the Li family and the Wang family have a blood feud. Is it wise to help him arrest so many of our people?"

Wang Yun glanced at him, saying indifferently, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The man immediately lowered his head, saying, "I didn't mean it that way, it's just, Bing State is in chaos now, and many at home have opinions. We're losing money helping him with the bookstore..."

Wang Yun took a sip of tea and said, "I have it under control. I certainly won't touch officials like Lu Hua. Giving him a few insignificant officers won't matter; even if lost, we can quickly support new ones. As for the investment in the bookstore, how much could it cost to print a few books? Our Wang family can afford those few coins of silver."

Upon hearing this, the man ceased to speak.

In family affairs, so long as it's not a matter of life and death of the family, there's naturally no need for explanations.

Xuanxuan is his beloved, and Li Nuo happened to grab hold of his weakness, forcing them to grit their teeth and treat their enemy as an honored guest.

Shortly, Wang Yun walked out of the hall.

Due to Li Xuanjing, he had always harbored deep resentment towards members of the Li family.

But in recent days, his impression of Li Nuo had greatly changed.

He was the most typical, pure Confucian scholar, exuding Vast Qi, concerned solely with fairness and justice, dedicated to benefiting the people.

If he were Li Nuo, holding the Wang family's weakness, he might use it as leverage to make excessive demands, but Li Nuo only wanted to publish a few books, catch some corrupt officials, and kill some oppressive scoundrels...

If not for his father standing in opposition to the Wang family, he would greatly admire Li Nuo.

A Sixt Subjects' Scholar, Fifth Realm in Legalism, Fifth Realm in Medical School, soon to be Fifth Realm in Confucianism, a King with a different surname in Zhao Country, the pillar of Daxia's court, a talent unmatched across nations on the continent, regrettably unattainable for the Wang family...

Just then, a servant approached respectfully and said, "Master, someone from the Du Family has arrived."

Wang Yun nodded and said, "Let the butler entertain them well, I'll go over soon."

To ensure pure bloodlines, the Six Great Families often married among themselves. The groom he chose for Xuanxuan was the second son of the Du Family, Du Yun, who not only had literary talent but also good Martial Path aptitude, having reached the True Qi Realm at the age of eighteen, with prospects of becoming a Grandmaster.

Because of a mysterious illness, Xuanxuan had lost hope, resulting in her canceling the wedding with the Du Family. Now that her illness was almost cured, their marriage should proceed.

The Du family's people likely came for this matter.

Elsewhere in the Wang family, within an exquisite courtyard.

A young woman sat in front of a bright mirror, examining herself. Although some faint scars remained visible on her face, compared to a few days ago, she had improved significantly.

If she ended up looking ugly in the future, she'd rather die from the illness.

The Divine Doctor named Li said her illness could be fully healed within half a month at most.

By then, she would regain her former peerless beauty.
