Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

If it is not a last resort, Chen Hongsheng does not want to tear his face with the prince of Lin in front of him.

Even if the situation in Linjiang City is chaotic now, it will do Chen Hongsheng no good to fall out with the Lin family.

Until the end, the Chen family does not want to be the first bird to come out.

But it is obvious that Lin Jiangnian did not give him this opportunity.

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian's words have almost made his attitude clear... He is not going to let it go after tonight's matter.

He came for Chen Junru.

It is more likely that he came for his Chen family!

Thinking of this, Chen Hongsheng's face was completely gloomy.

"So, what is your purpose?"

He stared at Lin Jiangnian and spoke in a deep voice.

Lin Jiangnian looked at Chen Hongsheng, whose face was becoming more and more solemn, and said calmly: "I have said just now that all I want is justice..."

"As the prince of Lin Wang, I have the obligation to seek justice for the people of Linjiang City. I can understand Uncle Chen's feelings, but debts must be paid and murder must be paid. This has been the law of Daning since ancient times... Uncle Chen, you must know it, right?"

Lin Jiangnian's words shattered Chen Hongsheng's last glimmer of hope.

"Why does Your Highness have to be so aggressive? It will end up hurting both sides, which is not good for anyone."

Chen Hongsheng's voice was hoarse, with some unclear meaning: "My Chen family has been friends with the palace for many years. Your Highness really wants to break up with my Chen family for such a small matter?"

"Break up?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "Can this prince understand that Uncle Chen is threatening me?"

Chen Hongsheng didn't say anything, and his deep and cold eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian.

At this moment, this old fox who has been in Linjiang City for many years finally gradually showed his deep scheming and thoughts.

The surroundings were silent, and the world was dark.

Only on the path not far away, there were some sparks swaying.

The atmosphere was still tense!

After a short silence, Chen Hongsheng suddenly changed his tone.

"I wonder if your highness has heard some rumors in Linjiang City recently?"

"Rumors?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the old fox in front of him, and saw that his expression was calm, and he was vaguely alert in his heart...

This old fox in front of him is not as easy to deal with as it looks on the surface.

As a large family force that has been rooted in Linjiang City for several years, the Chen family has survived the alternation of forces in these decades, and has a tendency to become the largest family in Linjiang City. Chen Hongsheng in front of him has made an indispensable contribution.

Previously, Chen Hongsheng was afraid of Lin Jiangnian's identity and was unwilling to completely break up with Lin Jiangnian. But once he really made up his mind, Lin Jiangnian couldn't say what tricks this old fox had.

For example, tonight...

Lin Jiangnian had expected that things would not be that simple!

From the moment he released Chen Junru, he had never thought that this old fox would be fooled.

Lin Jiangnian originally wanted to compete with this old fox to see who was more impatient. After all, as long as Sun Yuan's wife was still alive, Chen Hongsheng would never feel at ease.

He would definitely try every means to silence Xu Xianglian.

Therefore, Lin Jiangnian had already laid a net inside and outside the Chen Mansion to monitor the Chen family's every move.

Once the Chen family made any move, Lin Jiangnian would be able to know it at the first time.

Be constant in the face of change!

But what Lin Jiangnian did not expect was that Chen Junru, this guy, even at this time, still played a trick on his father.

He concealed the news that Xu Xianglian was still alive and quietly ran out of the city...Lin Jiangnian, who learned the news, almost couldn't hold it.

I have seen pig teammates, and I met a pig son for the first time.

Chen Junru's move undoubtedly gave Lin Jiangnian a very easy opportunity to catch the person and the evidence.

It's not easy to deal with Chen Hongsheng who is prepared, but it's not easy to deal with Chen Junru who is like a pig.

Of course, Lin Jiangnian didn't think things were too simple. He had expected that Chen Hongsheng, the old fox, would have a back-up plan, so he specially invited An Ning to come before coming, just in case.

The current situation is exactly what Lin Jiangnian expected!

Chen Hongsheng, indeed, has a back-up plan.

After learning that his son had left the city, he immediately reacted and blocked Lin Jiangnian on his way back.

At this moment, when he heard Chen Hongsheng suddenly mention the "rumor", Lin Jiangnian seemed to realize something, and his eyes flickered.

This old fox, I'm afraid he's going to show his cards to him? !

Sure enough, Chen Hongsheng stared at Lin Jiangnian for a while, and slowly said: "There are some rumors in Linjiang City recently, which are related to your highness..."

"There are rumors in the city that your highness's identity is fake. The real Lin Wang Prince actually died a year ago..."

"Have you heard about this?"

As he spoke, Chen Hongsheng stared at Lin Jiangnian, staring at all the expressions on his face.

He wanted to see the panic that Lin Jiangnian's identity was exposed.

But, Chen Hongsheng was disappointed!

Lin Jiangnian in front of him had a calm look in his eyes. He listened to Chen Hongsheng's words calmly, and there was even some teasing between his eyebrows.

As if he was mocking something.

"So?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at him, with a sneer on his face: "Uncle Chen means that you think this prince is fake?"

"Suspect that this prince is a fake?"

Chen Hongsheng stared at Lin Jiangnian with cold eyes. Lin Jiangnian's reaction was beyond his expectations.

Why was he not panicked at all?

Why was he not nervous at all?

Chen Hongsheng took the emotions deeply into his eyes, and a sneer gradually appeared on his face.

"Whether it is true or not, His Highness knows best."

"However, since there are rumors in the city, I think this is not groundless... right?"

Chen Hongsheng's tone was neither cold nor indifferent, but he was thoughtful and pointed.

Lin Jiangnian heard it!

He is threatening himself.

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly. This Chen Hongsheng might have found some clues.

Therefore, this is the confidence for him to dare to challenge himself.

He was reminding Lin Jiangnian, I have evidence that you are pretending to be the crown prince... If you don't want your identity exposed, then just be obedient.

And the address of His Highness in his mouth was undoubtedly reminding Lin Jiangnian... As long as he didn't break his skin, there was still room for maneuver in everything.

Lin Jiangnian sneered in his heart, he had a good idea.

"It's just some malicious rumors spread by some unscrupulous people!"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes were scornful, and he smiled disdainfully: "Uncle Chen, do you still believe me?"

"Can't Uncle Chen tell whether this prince is real or fake?"

Chen Hongsheng's eyes suddenly condensed.

He had already stepped down the stairs in front of Lin Jiangnian, but he did not expect that this man would be so shameless.

Did he really think that he was Prince Lin?

Is he really not afraid of his identity being revealed?

Chen Hongsheng took a deep look at Lin Jiangnian and said in a deep voice: "It's already this time, why does Your Highness need me to explain it more clearly?"

"Once you talk about it, it won't be good for anyone!"

At the end of the sentence, Chen Hongsheng's tone became a little sinister, and it was already an extremely obvious threat.

He has found some evidence. Although he cannot completely prove that the Prince Lin in front of him is fake, he is 70 to 80% sure.

This is enough!

A 70% to 80% certainty is enough to plunge the fake Prince Lin in front of him into an abyss and never recover!

Chen Hongsheng originally thought that Lin Jiangnian would take action no matter what happened.

But unexpectedly, Lin Jiangnian's expression remained relaxed and his tone was indifferent: "Uncle Chen has said so much, just because he wants me to bend the law for personal gain and let Chen Junru go?"

Chen Hongsheng said calmly: "This matter is a misunderstanding. Since it is a misunderstanding, it can be solved. Why make it so embarrassing."

"Your Highness, are you right?"

"That makes sense."

Lin Jiangnian nodded in agreement: "Since it's a misunderstanding, just clear it up."

After hearing this, Chen Hongsheng finally felt a little relieved.

This kid finally got the idea!

It seems that he is still afraid of having the handle on his identity in his hands.

Chen Hongsheng narrowed his eyes. With such a handle, maybe the fake Prince Lin in front of him could even be used by his Chen family?

When he thought of this, there was a trace of fire in his eyes.

However, before his fire could burn for too long, it was completely extinguished by Lin Jiangnian's next words.

"But I think this is not a misunderstanding!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Chen Hongsheng and sneered: "I saw with my own eyes that your son imprisoned a good woman with evil intentions, and I just happened to catch him!"

"How can such an unscrupulous act be leniently tolerated?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, it's not a misunderstanding!"

Lin Jiangnian's words made Chen Hongsheng's face turn cold again. He finally realized something: "Are you kidding me?!"

"Uncle Chen misunderstood, this prince did not play tricks on you."

Looking at Chen Hongsheng's gloomy face that was almost black, Lin Jiangnian's smile became brighter.

"From the very beginning, I never said that I would let you go!"

Chen Hongsheng's eyes were cold. At this moment, he finally realized something and finally no longer cared about his image: "Are you really going to fight me to the death?"

"Your Highness is not afraid that his fake identity will be exposed?!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at him calmly and shook his head gently: "Uncle Chen is willing to call me Your Highness, and I am very happy, but I don't like Uncle Chen's threats!"

"Lin Jiangnian!"

Chen Hongsheng finally got angry: "Do you really think you are Prince Lin?"

"You can fool others, but you can't fool me... You are a fake!"

"I have evidence of your forgery in my hands!"

Chen Hongsheng stared at him: "Do you know what will happen once your fake news is leaked?!"

"Of course I know."

Lin Jiangnian said calmly: "But Uncle Chen thinks, will you still have that chance?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hongsheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and his whole body suddenly felt horrified.

"What do you mean by that?!"

"Looking at the many years of friendship between you and my father, I am willing to call you Uncle Chen, and at the same time give Uncle Chen a piece of advice..."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him: "Uncle Chen should know what to do if he doesn't want to drag the entire Chen family into the abyss."

"Uncle Chen, just take care of yourself."

After saying that, Lin Jiangnian turned and left.

Having figured out what this old fox's trump card was, Lin Jiangnian was not going to continue talking nonsense with him.

Lin Jiangnian paid no attention to Chen Hongsheng's threat.

As for how to deal with the Chen family, he has already considered it.

After all, the Chen family is a famous family in Linjiang City, with huge prestige and power that cannot be underestimated. Behind the Chen family, there are countless vassal families. Unless there is a chance to uproot it, it cannot be moved unless it is absolutely necessary.

A single move affects the whole body!

Killing Chen Hongsheng is easy, but how to end it after killing this person is a problem.

Although the Lin Wang Mansion has considerable power in Linzhou, it still needs the support and assistance of these local forces and powerful people to govern the entire prefecture. As one of the representative families of these local forces and powerful people, the Chen family naturally cannot be easily moved.

Unless... the Chen family gives themselves a chance!

...

It was late at night.

On the path, the atmosphere was still tense.

All around was silent.

The two sides confronted each other, and neither of them was willing to give in.

Lin Qingqing stood in front with a sword, leaning against the side of the carriage with a thin figure, using the carriage to cover her figure, very low-key and not attracting attention.

But her bright eyes hidden in the darkness would occasionally fall on the most powerful martial artists in the crowd not far away.

Then she lowered her head silently and thought, how long would it take to kill these people...

Until Lin Jiangnian came back.

"Your Highness!"

Lin Qingqing was relieved to see that His Highness had returned safely.

An Ning beside the carriage also came back to her senses, looking at Lin Jiangnian's face and eyes, revealing a bit of worry.

She seemed to want to ask something, but stopped talking.

"Let's go."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at them and nodded slightly: "Go back."

"Then they..."

Lin Qingqing glanced at the guards who were still blocking the path in front, and it was self-evident.

"Qingqing, protect them."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the woman named Xu Xianglian beside the carriage behind the crowd, and after giving the order, he looked at An Ning, who was standing tall and slender, with her face slightly tilted up.

"An Ning, I tell you..."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the people blocking the path, and said softly: "Whoever blocks the way and doesn't give way, you will kill him... Can you do it?"

Hearing this, An Ning was stunned, looked at a distance, and then looked at Lin Jiangnian.

Didn't seem to expect Lin Jiangnian to suddenly ask her to kill someone?

"Kill them all?"

The girl's tone seemed a little uncertain.

"Is it difficult?"

"No..."

An Ning retracted her gaze, lowered her head slightly, and shook her head.

"Can you do it?"

"Yes..."

"That's fine!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced behind him again and chuckled.

"Then kill them all."

...

On the path, dozens of guards blocked the path, the atmosphere was dull and covered the sky.

Looking at the people approaching in front of them, the atmosphere became more and more dull. Their eyes were hesitant, and their hands holding the hilts trembled slightly.

They were not unfamiliar with the young man who appeared in the front.

Prince Lin!

And the cold sword-holding girl beside Prince Lin, the cold temperament gave them an extremely oppressive momentum.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Approach!

"Swish!"

The next second, a cold light flashed.

Accompanied by a flash of scarlet.

The guard on the horse in front of him suddenly had his pupils shrink, his eyes widened, and he clutched his throat tightly.

His body suddenly fell down and he fell off the horse.

He died instantly.

In his sight, the sword-holding girl standing next to Lin Jiangnian had a calm expression in her cold eyes.

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the sword in her hand, and then...

She looked at the next one!
