The waste prince is so fierce

"After two sticks of incense, you must stop immediately. Otherwise, you might hurt yourself."

"You still need to practice diligently."

She hung the dagger back on her waist, then picked up the ointment on the table and applied it on her delicate skin.

After a moment, she stood up and walked out.

"Knock knock." She knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A deep male voice came from inside.

"It's me," the girl agreed.

Squeak!

The door opened.

A burly and majestic figure came into view.

He was dressed simply and had an ordinary face, but his eyes were sharp and fierce, revealing a fierce aura.

This person was none other than Yang Delong's guard commander, Li Qiang.

Li Qiang glanced at the girl and frowned, "What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?"

The girl said with a smile: "Uncle Li, don't misunderstand me, I'm not here to steal anything. I want to discuss something with you..."

Before she finished her words, Li Hu interrupted her: "Okay, stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point."

"Uh……"

The girl smiled awkwardly and continued, "It's like this. There's been a lot of unrest in Yangzhou City recently, and I want to see my father. Where is my father right now?"

Li Hu was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid the master can't see you recently."

"Ah, why?" the girl asked anxiously.

“I don’t know exactly what happened.”

Li Hu shook his head and said, "However, it is said that after the Ninth Prince came a few days ago, the master went out that night and has not returned for three days."

"How could that be?" the girl asked anxiously.

The prison of the Ministry of Justice is not a place for ordinary yamen runners to stay. It is a place specially for trying cases and dealing with crimes, and the jailers inside are all extremely vicious.

Once you are caught in that kind of place, there is basically no chance of survival.

"I advise you not to attract your father's attention, otherwise, you will be the one who suffers." Li Hu warned.

The girl was stunned and lowered her head.

She knew that Li Hu's advice was not alarmist, and Li Hu once said that her father made a mistake and angered the prime minister of the time, which was why he was demoted to Yangzhou as the commander-in-chief.

"Ugh."

She sighed softly, turned and walked out of the yard, her back looking a little desolate.

Seeing the girl's back, Li Hu shook his head secretly.

This girl has a simple mind and no scheming, and she can't compete with those old foxes in the officialdom.

"Forget it!" Li Hu shook his head secretly.

He didn't want to get involved in such disputes.

Now that the Ninth Prince has arrived in Yangzhou, the court is busy making plans. If you intervene in such a small matter at this time, you will easily become the target of public criticism.

"Hey, isn't this the famous second daughter of the Zhao family? Why is she strolling on the street in the middle of the night?"

At this time, a group of richly dressed noblemen walked out of the door of a nearby restaurant.

The leading young man had an evil curve at the corner of his mouth and an obscene light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

There are both men and women in this group of people.

They were all the dandies of Jinxiu Villa, relying on their family power to do whatever they wanted in Yangzhou City and bully the weak. Among them, there were many common people, and the number of people they oppressed was countless.

"Zhang Hao! Stop talking nonsense!" Zhao Wanqing raised her eyebrows and glared at the young man angrily.

"Oh, you have such a bad temper. No wonder even that loser Wu Shihai is so bewitched by you." Zhang Hao said sarcastically.

"You..." Zhao Wanqing's pretty face froze, then she snorted coldly and left in a huff.

"Hahaha……"

Looking at Zhao Wanqing's graceful figure leaving, Zhang Hao laughed up to the sky: "She is so beautiful and charming. I have played with countless beauties like her. However... this is the first time I have met a pure and innocent girl like this."

On the second floor of Tianyun Restaurant, Li Quan stood in the darkness, looking coldly at the scene in front of him.

Li Quan was quite annoyed by Zhang Hao, Liu Zhihao and others' flirting with Zhao Wanqing. However, because he was in need of people, he did not react immediately. After all, he still needed to rely on these friends to help him gain more connections and wealth, so that he could rise to a high position in the future.

Zhang Hao seemed to have noticed something, turned his head and looked back, but saw nothing.

"Huh? Weird. I just saw a familiar figure. It seemed to be Li Quan... Was he hiding in the dark and staring at us?"

Zhang Hao frowned slightly.

During this period, Li Quan's name could be said to be heard throughout the entire Yangzhou city.

He, Zhang Hao, can't afford to provoke this god of death!

"Forget it. Zhao Wanqing will be mine sooner or later anyway, so I'll just be patient for a while."

Zhang Hao quickly regained his composure and changed the subject.

His reaction made Zhang Tian, ​​who was standing beside him, curious. He asked Zhang Hao, "Brother Zhang, is that Ninth Prince Li Quan you mentioned really as terrifying as you said?"

Liu Zhihao smiled and agreed: "I'm also very interested, why don't you tell me about it!"

"Hehe, let me remind you all." Zhang Hao grinned and said, "Don't underestimate the Ninth Prince. My father told me that his mother is now the most favored Consort of the current emperor."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhihao and Zhang Tian exclaimed in surprise, obviously they had also heard of this Ninth Prince.

Zhang Hao nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Although the status of His Highness the Ninth Prince is extremely noble, his situation in the capital is by no means as glorious as it seems."

"Oh? Why is that?" Zhang Tian asked curiously.

Liu Zhihao also looked puzzled and listened carefully.

Zhang Hao pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I heard from my father that His Majesty once intended to exile the Ninth Prince. But as soon as he arrived in Wuwei County, the Ninth Prince actually boosted the economic development of the entire county. The originally poor Wuwei County has become a major tax-paying county in just half a year."

"what?!"

Liu Zhihao and Zhang Tian were shocked again and were speechless for a long time.

"You mean, the pearl soap and floral water in Wuwei County were all made by the Ninth Prince?"

Zhang Tian asked.

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Not only that, I heard from my father that the initial salt and iron production in Wuwei County was also arranged by the Ninth Prince. There was even a group of technicians who were introduced by the Ninth Prince. In short, your majesty admires and trusts the Ninth Prince very much."

Liu Zhihao and Zhang Tian looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

This Ninth Prince is indeed extraordinary!

"But..." Zhang Hao changed the subject and said, "Although His Majesty has great trust in the Ninth Prince, he is still too young. Many government affairs must be discussed and decided by the ministers, or by the elders. It is not that the Ninth Prince can control everything."

Hearing this, Liu Zhihao nodded and agreed, "Brother Zhang is right. Although the Ninth Prince is a Huangzi, he is still young. Now he has come to Yangzhou City alone. In my opinion, it is still uncertain who will eventually take over Yangzhou City."

Zhang Hao looked around with a smile, and when he saw that there were no people around, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Besides... my father said that as long as I can deal with the Zhao family girl, the Zhao family will be our family's ally in Yangzhou Prefecture. In the future, if we want to walk sideways in Yangzhou City, who dares to say no?"
