The waste prince is so fierce

Chapter 117: The shortcomings of the imperial court began to emerge

Li Quan felt heavy-hearted, as if he was being crushed by a huge rock, making it hard for him to breathe.

He knew that the discovery of this secret would mean he would face greater danger, but he also understood that he could not retreat.

For the sake of the people of Wuling County, someone must stand up.

So, Li Quan began to collect evidence more carefully, and he wanted to reveal this secret completely.

Prepare to plot how to make this shocking secret public.

However, just as they were about to take action, an accident happened.

Late one night, Li Quan and others were having a secret discussion.

"Oh!"

The door was kicked down by a group of people.

Afterwards, a large group of people filed in.

Li Quan and others looked in astonishment at the uninvited guests who broke in.

An ominous feeling welled up in my heart.

The leader was a burly, ferocious-looking man who held a big knife in his hand and looked fiercely at everyone in the room.

"You are Li Quan and his accomplices, right?"

The sturdy man asked in a cold voice, his tone revealing a strong murderous intent.

Li Quan's heart tightened, he knew these people must have been sent by Liu Guang. In order to keep the shocking secret, they were willing to kill.

He took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and stood up to face the burly man.

"We are. What can I do for you?"

Li Quan tried to ask in a calm tone while secretly observing the surroundings, looking for an opportunity to escape.

"Hmph, what can you do for me? You unruly people actually dare to go against the imperial court. You must be tired of living!" The sturdy man roared and swung his knife at Li Quan.

The strong man hadn't finished speaking when the person next to him covered his mouth.

The man winked at him frantically and said in a quick and low voice: "Brother, we can't use the name of Lord Liu when we come out this time. Otherwise, once the news gets out, Lord Liu will be in trouble."

"I know!"

The sturdy man violently shook off the man who was covering his mouth, pointed the long knife in his hand at Li Quan and said: "I'll chop you up!"

Li Quan dodged the fatal blow.

Then, Zhang Hu also roared and jumped out. The long sword in his hand drew a semicircle in the air, and the sharp wind hit the strong man's face.

The sturdy man is called Zhou Tiesheng, the younger brother of Captain Zhou. He has always made a living by blacksmithing in the town. Now he swings a big knife with great force and directly entangles with Zhang Hu.

And those people who came with Zhou Tiesheng also rushed up shouting.

In the small space, a melee broke out instantly.

Although Li Quan and his companions were few in number, they were all martial artists, and for a while they were evenly matched.

However, the good times did not last long.

As Zhou Tiesheng brought more and more reinforcements, Li Quan and others gradually fell into trouble.

Although Zhang Hu was brave, he was also besieged by several people and was injured.

Li Quan was extremely anxious, he knew that this was not a solution.

In a hurry, he caught a glimpse of the night outside the window, and with an idea in his mind, he shouted, "Quick, jump out of the window!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fought hard to carve out a bloody path and escaped through the window.

In the dark, Li Quan and others quickly fled the scene.

Zhou Tiesheng and others were chasing closely behind.

Li Quan led everyone to escape to a remote alley, and only stopped to rest after making sure that there was no one around.

"Young Master, are you okay?" Zhang Hu asked with concern.

"I am fine."

Li Quan shook his head and said solemnly, "We were careless this time. We didn't expect Liu Guang to attack us so quickly."

"Then what should we do next?"

Zhang Hu asked.

"We cannot sit idly by."

Li Quan pondered for a moment and said, "Well, you go find some reliable people right away. We must find enough evidence to expose Liu Guang's crimes before he strikes again."

"Yes!"

Zhang Hu responded and turned to leave.

In Liu Guang's study, he was having a secret conversation with a man in black.

"Your operation was a complete failure this time! You actually let them escape!"

Liu Guang said angrily.

"Please calm down, sir. We have done our best."

The man in black bowed and said, "However, they can escape, but they cannot escape the temple. As long as we continue to send more people to search, I believe we will find them soon."

"Hmph! You'd better keep your word!"

Liu Guang snorted coldly, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain that I have raised you for so long?"

"Please rest assured, sir, we will do our best to hunt them down."

The man in black said with a solemn oath.

Liu Guang waved his hand, and the man in black bowed and left.

He sat at his desk, thinking gloomily.

Li Quan has discovered his secret, which makes him very uneasy.

He must do everything he can to eliminate this hidden danger, otherwise once the secret is revealed, his future and life will be in jeopardy.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Liu Guang said in a deep voice.

The door was pushed open, and a bailiff walked in, bowed and said, "Sir, there is someone outside who wants to see you."

"Who?"

Liu Guang asked with a frown.

"He said he came from the capital and had something important to discuss."

The bailiff replied.

Liu Guang's heart moved. Could it be that someone was coming from the capital?

He said quickly: "Please ask him to come in."

After a while, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes walked in.

He bowed to Liu Guang and said:

"Master Liu, long time no see."

Liu Guang looked at the person who came and was secretly alert.

He knew this person. His name was Wang Lin and he was a close confidant of the Pei family in the capital.

"Mr. Wang, what is the matter that brings you here this time?"

Liu Guang asked tentatively.

"Master Liu, I'll be frank."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Our master is very satisfied with your governance in Wuling County. I hope you can continue to work hard and serve the court."

"It's natural."

Liu Guang smiled and said, "I wonder if Mr. Wang has any other advice for you this time?"

"Don't take advice seriously."

Wang Lin shook his head and said, "It's just that our master recently received some news that someone is secretly investigating you. You know our master's temper, he doesn't want to see any mistakes made by his people."

Liu Guang's heart tightened when he heard this. Could it be that Li Quan and others had alarmed the big shot in the capital?

He quickly said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Wang, I will definitely deal with this matter as soon as possible."

"That's good."

Wang Lin nodded and said, "Our master also said that if you can successfully handle this matter, he will give you greater support."

Liu Guang was overjoyed when he heard this. This was undoubtedly good news for him.

He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your cultivation, sir. I will definitely not let you down."

Wang Lin smiled without saying anything, then turned and left the study.

Liu Guang watched Wang Lin's departing back and secretly felt lucky that he had found a strong supporter.

At the same time, he became more determined to get rid of Li Quan and others.

He knew that he had no way out and could only go down this path until the end.
