The waste prince is so fierce

Li Quan was not afraid at all. He looked at Zhang Hao coldly and said, "Mr. Zhang, I respect you as the son of the Yangzhou prefect, and I don't want to argue with you. But if you push your luck again, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhang Hao's face changed when he heard this.

He didn't expect Li Quan to be so tough. But thinking of his own identity and status, he was unwilling to give up.

Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves outside the restaurant. Then, a group of soldiers rushed in and surrounded the restaurant.

"Who is Zhang Hao?"

The leading officer asked loudly.

Zhang Hao stood up in a daze and said incoherently, "It's me."

The sergeant looked Zhang Hao up and down, then said, "Someone reported that you are involved in a big case. Please come with us."

Li Quan had a blank expression on his face as he watched Zhang Hao being taken away by the soldiers.

In the following days, more and more rumors about Zhang Hao spread in Yangzhou City. Some said he was imprisoned, some said he was secretly executed, and some said he had escaped.

However, these rumors did not affect Li Quan's plan. He secretly controlled everything and waited for the best opportunity.

The arrest of Zhang Hao caused quite a stir in Yangzhou City, especially among those playboys who were on good terms with Zhang Hao.

They all speculated what the hidden story behind this was and whether someone was secretly plotting against Zhang Hao.

After learning the news, Zhang Hu rushed to Li Quan's residence as soon as possible. He knocked on Li Quan's door anxiously, and when the door opened, he hurried in.

"Your Highness, have you heard? Zhang Hao has been arrested!"

Zhang Hu said in shock.

Li Quan was reading in the study. He looked up when he heard this and said calmly, "Oh? Really? So what?"

Zhang Hu looked at Li Quan's calm face and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled. He originally thought that Li Quan would be as shocked as he was, but now it seems that Li Quan doesn't seem to be surprised by this.

"Your Highness, don't you think this matter is very strange? Zhang Hao is the son of the Yangzhou prefect after all. How could he be arrested suddenly?" Zhang Hu asked.

"Maybe he did something illegal."

Li Quan said casually, but his eyes never left the book in his hands.

Zhang Hu saw that Li Quan was not interested in this matter, and although he was puzzled, he had to give up. He didn't know that Li Quan was the driving force behind this matter.

Although Li Quan seemed to be indifferent to Zhang Hao's arrest, he had actually been paying close attention to the progress of the incident. He knew that his plan was already halfway successful.

At the same time, the Zhao family also received the news that Zhang Hao was arrested.

Zhao Wanqing couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard the news. Although she didn't have much affection for Zhang Hao, she didn't want to implicate others because of herself.

"Father, will this incident have an impact on our Zhao family?"

Zhao Wanqing asked worriedly.

Zhao Mingde, the head of the Zhao family, thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be. Although Zhang Hao is one of your suitors, we have never had any substantial contact with him. This matter should not involve our Zhao family."

Zhao Wanqing was relieved after hearing her father's words. She didn't know that the real driving force behind this matter was the Ninth Prince Li Quan, whom she had met once before.

In the following days, Li Quan continued to act according to his plan.

He first secretly spread the news that Zhang Hao's arrest was related to the Zhao family, and then deliberately leaked some so-called "evidence", causing officials in Yangzhou City to begin to doubt the Zhao family.

This series of actions made Zhao Mingde feel unprecedented pressure. He began to suspect that someone was secretly targeting the Zhao family, so he began to send people to secretly investigate the matter.

However, the results of the investigation surprised him. It turned out that all of this was secretly controlled by Li Quan!

Zhao Mingde could not help but re-examine the young man who had saved his daughter. He found that Li Quan was not only extremely intelligent, but also very scheming, and was definitely not an ordinary person.

After learning the truth, Zhao Mingde decided to talk to Li Quan in person. He wanted to know why Li Quan did this and what his purpose was.

When Zhao Mingde found Li Quan and questioned him, Li Quan just smiled faintly and said, "Master Zhao, you ask me why I do this? In fact, the reason is very simple, because I can't stand Zhang Hao's behavior of bullying men and women. As for my purpose, it is also very simple, that is, I hope that through this incident, the officials of Yangzhou City will understand a truth: not everyone can be bullied at will."

After hearing Li Quan's explanation, Zhao Mingde couldn't help but look at him with new eyes. He didn't expect that this young man had such great ambition and courage!

He began to consider whether he could cooperate with Li Quan to fight against the powerful people who oppressed the people.

At this time, the general trend has basically been determined.

The wind has long since turned away from these so-called aristocratic families.

Zhao Mingde took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince, there is something I don't understand and I would like to ask your Highness for advice."

Li Quan nodded slightly, "Master Zhao, please speak."

"Your Highness, are you going to all this trouble just to give justice to the people of Yangzhou City?"

Zhao Mingde stared at Li Quan's eyes with sharp eyes.

Li Quan chuckled, "Master Zhao, although I am a prince, I have seen all kinds of bad deeds of the rich and powerful oppressing the people since I was a child in the palace. I know very well that if we want peace in this world, we must change this injustice from the root. Zhang Hao's incident is just the beginning."

Zhao Mingde was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he slowly spoke: "Your Highness's ambition, I admire it. But this matter involves a lot of people, if it fails, the consequences will be disastrous. Has Your Highness ever considered it?"

"Thinked about it."

Li Quan answered calmly, "But some things have to be done by someone. As a member of the royal family, I should shoulder this responsibility. Master Zhao, what do you think?"

Zhao Mingde's eyes flashed with admiration, "Your Highness is right. Although I am old, I am willing to do my part for the peace of the world. If Your Highness does not mind, the Zhao family is willing to work hand in hand with Your Highness."

Li Quan was overjoyed when he heard this. "Master Zhao is very understanding and righteous. Li Quan is grateful. With the support of the Zhao family, I believe our plan will be more successful."

A few days later, Li Quan and Zhao Mingde met again in secret. This time, Zhao Mingde brought along core members of their respective families to discuss the next action plan.

"Now that Zhang Hao has been arrested, the powerful people in Yangzhou City must be in a state of panic. We should take this opportunity to take down those bullies who usually oppress the people."

Li Quan said with a firm look.
