The waste prince is so fierce

The noise here alarmed the people living on the street, and they all poked their heads out to see what was going on.

Hearing the noise outside getting louder and louder, Jiang Tianyang had no choice but to come out and bowed to Li Quan: "I am Li Tianyang, the head of the Jiang family, and I am honored to meet His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

Li Quan sneered, "Stop talking nonsense! Now that your Jiang family is colluding with the Nanman, the evidence is irrefutable, do you still want to deny it?"

Jiang Tianyang's face froze, but he immediately regained his composure and defended himself, "Ninth Prince, what are you talking about? My Jiang family has been loyal to Dakang for generations, how could we possibly collude with the Nanman? There must be a misunderstanding."

Li Quan snorted disdainfully and waved his hand to order: "Zhang Liang, show him the evidence."

Zhang Liang immediately handed the evidence to Jiang Tianyang. Jiang Tianyang took the evidence and his face turned pale. He didn't expect that Li Quan actually found the evidence, and the evidence was so conclusive and irrefutable.

Jiang Tianyang was panicked for a moment, but he was a veteran after all, and he quickly regained his composure.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, although these evidences are well-founded, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are simply nonsense! They cannot fully prove that my Jiang family is colluding with the Southern Barbarians. There must be something fishy here, please investigate carefully."

Li Quan sneered and said, "Jiang Tianyang, at this point, you still want to quibble? Do you think I will believe your lies? Come on, take Jiang Tianyang down!"

Following Li Quan's order, the surrounding soldiers immediately rushed forward and surrounded Jiang Tianyang.

Although Jiang Tianyang was panicking in his heart, he pretended to be calm on the surface and tried to resist.

However, he is just one person after all. How can he resist the elite troops brought by Li Quan?

He was soon subdued by the soldiers.

Seeing this, Jiang Li became very anxious and wanted to step forward to rescue, but was stopped by Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang looked at Jiang Li coldly and said, "Jiang Li, if you know what's best for you, just surrender. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Although Jiang Li was unwilling, he knew that he was no match for Zhang Liang.

He gritted his teeth and finally chose to surrender.

At the same time, he muttered, "I believe that in front of so many people, His Highness will definitely clear my Jiang family's name!"

Seeing this, Li Quan just sneered and said nothing.

Then, he issued an order: "Put Jiang Tianyang, Jiang Ning, and Jiang Tianheng in the cell."

After a while, a series of footsteps were heard from the Jiang family's gate, and a group of people were pushed into the cell.

Jiang Tianyang and others were locked in different cages.

Outside the cage, Li Quan sat in his seat and ordered calmly: "Keep them under good care. Do not let anyone in without my order. Also, keep a close eye on them and do not allow them to contact anyone, including servants, maids, and guards."

"I obey your command." All the generals answered in unison.

Li Quan nodded slightly, then stood up and walked towards the cell.

When approaching the cell where Jiang Tianyang and others were, Li Quan suddenly heard Jiang Tianheng's low voice: "Father, the situation is critical now. We must find a way to notify the rest of the Jiang family as soon as possible and let them flee Jiangzhou!"

Jiang Tianyang sighed and said, "This matter can no longer be concealed. I'm afraid they have received the news a long time ago, right?"

Jiang Tianheng cursed angrily: "This rebellious son!"

Jiang Tianheng originally thought that he had been patient for more than ten years, waiting to accumulate enough strength in the future so that he could directly push himself to the position of Governor of Donglai County.

The result was totally unexpected.

My son is much older than I am.

He actually had the audacity to hide this from me and collude with Nanman.

And I was kept in the dark.

With such an unfilial son, how could he be qualified to continue serving as the governor of Donglai County?

Thinking of this, Jiang Tianyang's heart sank.

Seeing this, Jiang Tianheng consoled him, "Father, don't worry too much. As long as we hold on for half a month, we will be able to get through this difficult time safely."

Jiang Tianheng's words gave Jiang Tianyang, who was originally in despair, a glimmer of hope.

He quickly asked, "What can you do?"

Jiang Tianheng said: "I have contacted my brother in the capital, and I believe he has made preparations. When the news from the capital arrives in a while, we will be rescued."

The elder brother that Jiang Tianheng mentioned was named Jiang Yiren, the second son of the current Minister of Personnel. Moreover, his father had once served as the Minister of Revenue. Therefore, the Jiang family was considered a powerful family in the Daliang Dynasty.

Jiang Yiren is quite influential in the court. If he is willing to help the Jiang family, he may be able to save the Jiang family's lives.

Jiang Tianyang felt a little relieved when he heard this.

...............

At the same time, Li Quan looked at Zhang Hu in front of him and asked, "How is it? Did the Jiang family confess?"

Zhang Hu shook his head and said, "I followed your Highness' instructions and showed the evidence to the Jiang family. Their attitudes were very fierce, and they even insulted me, as if they felt that this matter had nothing to do with them."

Li Quan sneered, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "If that's the case, then lock them up for a few days."

"Yes." Zhang Hu replied.

Li Quan stood up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked towards the back mountain of Jiang Mansion.

He just searched the Jiang Mansion and discovered many secrets.

It is no exaggeration to say that these secrets are shocking.

…………

As the night deepened, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the bright moonlight shone down.

On a rooftop of the Jiang Mansion, Li Quan looked down at the Jiang Mansion from a high vantage point.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance, as if someone was fighting.

Li Quan frowned: "What's going on?"

Zhang Hu hurriedly walked in front: "Your Highness, be careful, there is danger."

Li Quan waved his hand, signaling Zhang Hu not to be nervous, and then walked slowly forward.

Soon, they came to a yard.

Zhang Hu pointed at the gate and reported, "Your Highness, this is the Jiang family's treasure house. I suspect that what is inside is evidence. However, I haven't checked it out yet, so the exact amount of treasure needs further confirmation."

Li Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Then go and verify it!"

Zhang Hu nodded in agreement.

The two men went around the wall and climbed into the yard.

They sneaked all the way and quietly approached the treasure house.

The treasure house was brightly lit, and one could vaguely feel the golden light coming from inside.

Li Quan raised his head and looked at the huge chandelier hanging above his head, a look of satisfaction on his face.

He stretched out his arms as if embracing a bright future.

Zhang Hu noticed the strange look on Li Quan's face and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, what are you doing..."

Li Quan came back to his senses and smiled gently.

But behind this gentleness lies a sinister and cold murderous intent.

He turned his head slightly and stared at the most conspicuous mahogany shelf in the treasure house.

On that shelf, there was a jade pendant.

The moment Li Quan saw the jade pendant, he felt as if he was hit by a hammer and stood there in a daze.
