The waste prince is so fierce

In order to expand their sphere of influence, some people among the aristocratic families even colluded with the southern barbarians with the intention of harming Dakang.

These people's behavior aroused Li Quan's vigilance.

He knew that if this force was allowed to grow, it would pose a great threat to the peace of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he decided to take action to completely eradicate this force.

Zhang Liang led a team of elite soldiers and quietly sneaked into Donglai County.

They gathered information everywhere in the city, looking for evidence that the aristocratic families were colluding with the southern barbarians.

Soon, these people targeted several aristocratic families and secretly arrested them.

After interrogation, Li Quan finally figured out who the southern barbarians were that the aristocratic families were in collusion with.

It turned out that the Southern Barbarians they were colluding with were called Tiezhen, a huge tribe. Hundreds of years ago, their tribal leader Tiezhenqing had fought with Dakang, resulting in heavy casualties. Eventually, the Southern Barbarians withdrew from Dakang's territory.

After the King of Nanman retreated from Dakang, he led his people to build a small island on the coast of the East China Sea.

He built a city on the island, established a palace, and formed an army.

The royal palace of the Nanman Kingdom is located on a small island on the coast of the East China Sea. The island has lush grasslands and woods and a beautiful environment.

The island is sparsely populated and few people set foot on it.

It was not until later that Yan Libu expressed his intention to cooperate with them.

Since then, the two tribes have united and frequently harassed the border of Dakang.

......

Donglai County, Jiang Family.

"Do you think His Majesty the Ninth Prince has already noticed what we have done?"

Jiang Tianyang walked back and forth in the hall with a worried look on his face.

"How is that possible? Do you think Li Quan is a god from heaven? Is he omniscient and omnipotent?"

Jiang Li next to him sneered disdainfully.

Jiang Tianyang glared at Jiang Li and frowned, "What do you know? Although Li Quan is young, he is ruthless and thoughtful, and is definitely not an ordinary person. Since he was able to discover that the aristocratic families in Donglai County were colluding with the Nanman, how could he not notice our actions?"

Jiang Li couldn't help but get nervous when he heard this.

I know that Jiang Tianyang is right, Li Quan is indeed a tough opponent.

But he was still unwilling to give in, and retorted: "Even if he noticed it, what can he do? Our Jiang family has deep roots in Donglai County. What can Li Quan do to us?"

Jiang Tianyang sighed and shook his head, "You are wrong. Although Li Quan is young, he is the ninth prince of Dakang. He has a large army and a huge influence. If he really decides to deal with us, I am afraid that our Jiang family will find it difficult to resist."

Jiang Li was silent for a moment and realized the seriousness of the matter.

He asked, “So what should we do?”

Jiang Tianyang pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "We must take action immediately and never let Li Quan succeed. First of all, we must strengthen the defense of the Jiang family and ensure the safety of the Jiang family."

"Secondly, we need to secretly investigate Li Quan's movements and learn about his whereabouts and plans. Finally, we need to unite with other aristocratic families to fight against Li Quan together."

Jiang Li nodded in agreement and understood Jiang Tianyang's intention.

He knew that if the Jiang family wanted to remain invincible in this storm, they must take decisive action.

……

At the same time, Zhang Liang's investigation in Donglai County also made progress.

Through secret investigation, he found evidence that the Jiang family and other aristocratic families colluded with the Nanman, which was enough to prove the crimes of the Jiang family and other aristocratic families.

Zhang Liang immediately brought the evidence back to Jiangning City and reported to Li Quan.

……

Donglai County, Jiang Family.

Jiang Tianyang and Jiang Li were discussing countermeasures in the hall when they suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.

The two were startled and stood up quickly.

A servant ran in in a panic, panting and saying, "Master, this is bad! Two people came outside and said they were ordered to take you to the county government office for a talk!"

Jiang Tianyang and Jiang Li's faces turned pale when they heard this.

They knew that Li Quan had finally taken action.

Jiang Tianyang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic. No matter how fast they are, they can't find evidence in just half a month. They must be testing us this time! As long as we hold our ground, even if he is the Ninth Prince, he can't do anything rash."

After hearing what Jiang Tianyang said, Jiang Li's tension eased a little, but he was still a little uneasy.

He looked up at Jiang Tianyang and asked, "So what should we do now?"

Jiang Tianyang's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he said in a deep voice: "Immediately gather all the elite forces in the family, and take action immediately if you find anything wrong."

Jiang Li nodded and immediately went to arrange it.

After a while, the Jiang family's elite forces gathered in the hall, and everyone looked ready for battle.

At the same time, the servants of the Jiang family had already contacted other aristocratic families.

Jiang Tianyang knew that although these aristocratic families kept a certain distance from his Jiang family on the surface, they were actually all on the same boat. They would prosper together and suffer together.

If the Jiang family falls, they will not have an easy life.

……

Jiangning City, Li Quan’s residence.

Zhang Liang presented the evidence he had investigated in Donglai County to Li Quan.

Li Quan took the evidence, read it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

These evidences are enough to prove the crimes of the Jiang family and other aristocratic families. He can finally eradicate this force with justification.

Li Quan said to Zhang Liang, "Zhang Liang, you did a great job. Next, we will start to act. You should prepare immediately. We will set out for Donglai County early tomorrow morning."

Zhang Liang left immediately, and Li Quan summoned Zhang Heng and other trusted officials to discuss a specific action plan.

……

The next morning, Li Quan led his elite troops and set off. Along the way, they were in a hurry and did not stop at any time. Soon, they arrived at the border of Donglai County.

Li Quan ordered the army to station down, and then sent out scouts to find out what the Jiang family was doing. Not long after, the scouts came back and reported that the Jiang family had strengthened their defenses and seemed to be ready for a fight.

Li Quan sneered and said, "Jiang Tianyang, this old fox, is indeed cunning. But does he think he can stop me like this? It's just wishful thinking!"

He immediately ordered the entire army to set out and attack the Jiang family.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of Jiang's house. They saw that the gate of Jiang's house was closed tightly, and there were two rows of servants holding weapons standing at the door, looking ready for battle.

Li Quan drew his sword and shouted, "Jiang Tianyang! You colluded with the southern barbarians and had evil intentions. You are guilty of a heinous crime! Today, I will come to arrest you in person! If you know what's best for you, open the door and surrender quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!"

The Jiang family's door was still closed and there was no movement.

Seeing this, Li Quan sneered and ordered the entire army to attack.

Suddenly, arrows rained down on the Jiang family's gate and courtyard wall, and shouts of killing shook the earth.
