Peng Bing was the same way. He sent his men to work with his son. If something happened to his son, he would definitely not let his men off the hook. Only in this way would his men fight desperately to protect his son.

That's why, as soon as Zhang Lin agreed to help them with their problems, they immediately pledged their allegiance to him.

Now, even Ding Jian, who delivered the ashes, has been killed by Peng Bing.

Those people will only become more terrified, and they will probably be more loyal to Zhang Lin, who can help them, than to their own fathers.

This is why Ushikawa sighed.

They lost over a hundred men for no reason.

Conversely, Zhang Lin, who killed Peng Yong, gained their loyalty without paying any price.

Are you blaming us?

Upon hearing this, Peng Bing became furious and immediately gave his son-in-law a cold look.

"Of course not!"

Niu Chuan quickly said, "Dad, of course I'm not blaming you. Zhang Lin having a hundred or so more men isn't a big deal, but he's someone the city lord values. If we want to take revenge, it will be quite troublesome!"

"Even trouble deserves revenge!"

Peng Bing slammed his hand on the table again and said coldly, "Even if he is someone the city lord values, it's still not acceptable."

"Dad, calm down..."

Niu Chuan advised in a low voice, "After all, the beast tide is coming soon. We still need to form an alliance with the city lord to fight against the beast tide. It is not advisable to quarrel with the city lord now."

His words were purely patting Peng Bing on the back.

If Peng Bing's strength were increased tenfold, he might dare to turn against the city lord, but now...

Even without the beast tide, Peng Bing wouldn't dare offend the city lord.

But Peng Bing now had a way out.

“Little Niu, go find the city lord and ask him for his opinion on how to handle this matter. No matter what, the city lord needs to give me an explanation.”

Peng Bing immediately ordered his son-in-law.

Niu Chuan's face immediately fell.

"Dad, I don't think it's right to question the city lord like this, since Zhang Lin was the one who killed him..."

He wouldn't dare to question the city lord and demand an explanation.

Niu Chuan admitted that he was a coward.

But not daring to offend his father-in-law, he could only offer gentle persuasion.

Peng Bing glared at him immediately. There was no point in arguing; he wouldn't dare question the city lord himself, but seeing that Niu Chuan genuinely didn't understand, he could only tell the truth:

"The main purpose is to explain to the city lord that Zhang Lin and I are currently embroiled in a personal feud, and if we were to fight in the future, I hope the city lord will not interfere!"

"I understand!"

Ushikawa immediately understood.

So even the father-in-law is a coward!
