The Jiangzuo Wenren Family was one of the most prominent clans in the Da Xuan Dynasty.
In Xiangzhou, a province hundreds of miles from Jingzhou, the Wenren Family was known as "Half of Xiangzhou."
This meant that half the land in Xiangzhou belonged to the Wenren Family.
Despite being wealthy enough to rival a nation, the Wenren Family's ancestral home was a remarkably inconspicuous estate tucked away in the countryside.
Inside a room with rustic yet elegant decor, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties was focused intently on brewing tea.
A few paces away, a man dressed as a guard stood respectfully.
After some time, the middle-aged man finally sipped his tea. He closed his eyes, savoring the taste for a moment before slowly saying, "Speak."
"All of the Wenren Family's businesses in Jingzhou have been completely uprooted."
The guard spoke up. "Although there is no evidence, we are almost certain it was the Jingzhou Taiping Bureau."
"Those brutes!"
