The waste prince is so fierce

Li Quan stared at the jade pendant, and ripples in his heart surged layer by layer.

That was the Jiang family's patriarch's token passed down from generation to generation, symbolizing the Jiang family's supreme status and power.

Li Quan knew very well that there were countless secrets and treasures hidden behind this jade pendant.

He stared at the jade pendant, and an irresistible desire gradually surged in his heart. While he was standing there thinking, Zhang Hu had already started searching around, trying to find more evidence and property.

Zhang Hu approached and whispered to Li Quan, "Your Highness, let's collect the evidence first. There may be other mechanisms here."

Li Quan retracted his gaze and calmed down: "Yes, clean it up as soon as possible, it is not advisable to stay here for long."

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the yard, and Li Quan and Zhang Hu immediately became nervous. Zhang Hu drew the short knife from his waist and looked towards the door vigilantly.

A guard suddenly rushed in, panting and said, "Your Highness, it's bad. A group of men in black have broken into the Jiang Mansion and are searching everywhere."

Li Quan was stunned: "Men in black? Why are there mysterious people? Whose subordinates are they?"

The guard was about to cry, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Highness, I don't know! They are almost here, why don't we retreat first!"

Narrator: Li Quan frowned slightly, wondering who had sent the uninvited guest. At this moment, the sense of urgency in his heart became stronger, and he knew that he had to leave here as soon as possible with the evidence he found.

Li Quan told Zhang Hu, "We should retreat now, take all the important items and evidence we found, and make plans when we return to the mansion."

Zhang Hu nodded and said, "Yes!"

Li Quan and Zhang Hu acted quickly and put the jade pendant and other important items in the treasure house into a cloth bag.

The two men carefully evacuated from the backyard, following the dark path to avoid the men in black in front of them.

Outside the courtyard, a solemn atmosphere permeated.

The cool breeze at night seemed to add a hint of chill.

The moonlight quietly fell on every corner of the Jiang Mansion, as if coating this conspiracy in the dark night with a layer of silver gauze.

Li Quan and Zhang Hu quickly left the treasure house.

Along the path in the backyard, he retreated out of the house with light footsteps like a ghost.

Back in the main house, Li Quan still maintained a calm expression on his face, but the turmoil in his heart could not be calmed.

He hid the jade pendant and other important items in a secret box, then sat in the high-backed chair in the study, crossed his hands over his chest, and fell into deep thought.

Li Quan whispered to himself: "Who is the man in black? Could it be that someone has noticed my plot against the Jiang family?"

"Why is the water in Donglai County so messy?"

Just at this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door.

Zhang Hu gently pushed the door open and walked in with a serious expression.

Li Quan raised his head and looked at Zhang Hu: "What's the situation?"

Zhang Hu frowned. "I checked and found that those men in black came and went in a hurry and didn't seem to stay for too long. However, their movements were very skillful and they were obviously well prepared."

Li Quan snorted coldly: "It seems that this matter is more complicated than I thought. We must find out the origins of those men in black as soon as possible."

Zhang Hu nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness. I will send someone to continue the investigation."

Li Quan's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. He knew that the Jiang family's secret was not only about wealth, but also about power. Now, he not only had to deal with the Jiang family, but also had to find out the intentions of these men in black.

Inside the cell.

Jiang Tianyang frowned, thinking about how to get out of the predicament. Although the atmosphere in the cell was dark and depressing, he still persisted in thinking about various possible ways out.

Jiang Tianheng paced anxiously on the side, his face full of anxiety and anger.

Jiang Tianheng clenched his fist and said angrily: "Father, we can't just sit there and wait for death! Li Quan, that evil villain, will not let us go easily."

Jiang Tianyang took a deep breath: "Tianheng, calm down. We must find a chance to contact the outside world, especially your eldest brother Jiang Yiren. Only he can mobilize the power of the court."

Jiang Tianheng nodded in agreement, but the anger in his heart was still difficult to calm down. He knew that time waits for no one, and he must find a solution as soon as possible.

While Jiang Tianyang and Jiang Tianheng were discussing countermeasures in the cell, the outside world had fallen into deeper chaos.

Although Li Quan acted quickly, the appearance of the man in black meant that the situation was out of control.

Jiang Tianyang and Jiang Tianheng tried to argue and prove the Jiang family's innocence, but they were imprisoned in a cell and their voices could not be heard by the outside world.

The trap designed by Li Quan is still tightly binding the Jiang family.

Jiang Tianyang sighed deeply. He knew that it would be difficult to break through Li Quan's control with their strength alone. He turned to look at Jiang Tianheng, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

"We have to stay calm, Tian Heng."

Jiang Tianyang said firmly, "Tianheng, we have to stay calm. Although Li Quan is insidious and cunning, we are not helpless. The most important thing now is to find a way to contact the outside world."

Jiang Tianheng nodded, his eyes firm: "You are right. We can't just sit here and wait for death. My brother Jiang Yiren in the capital is ready to help, but we need to get in touch with him as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I've sent someone to deliver the message. Within seven days, this matter will have a result. We just need to survive these seven days!"

"If we don't confess, even if Li Quan is the Ninth Prince, he can't do anything to us."

Jiang Tianyang said with great confidence.

He believed that since Li Quan had gone to great lengths to capture him, he would definitely not dare to risk breaking the law to eliminate him completely, otherwise he would not be able to gain a foothold in the eyes of the world, so he could completely delay time until reinforcements arrived.

Jiang Tianheng nodded seriously and seconded: "I will make the children of the Jiang clan unite and never succumb to Li Quan."

"I hope so!" Jiang Tianyang said with a wry smile.

He doesn't even know whether he will live or die, so how can he rely on others?

Although the Jiang clan is not as powerful as the royal family, it has hundreds of years of heritage after all. If they can work together, they will definitely be able to survive this disaster.

As long as he could stay alive, he was willing to compromise temporarily.

......

Li Quan's residence.

"By the way, do you still remember what those men in black looked like?" Li Quan asked.

Jiang Tianheng shook his head: "I was too hurried at the time and didn't pay attention to their appearance. However, their martial arts skills are extremely high, and they are definitely not comparable to ordinary guards."

"They are wearing black clothes and masks. It should be a revenge. In this case, we'd better stay away and avoid being implicated."

Li Quan agreed with Jiang Tianheng's point of view. The identities of these men in black were mysterious. If they were angry with him, it would be troublesome. Moreover, these men in black obviously had some purpose and might cause harm to him.

"Okay, let's take a break."

Li Quan lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

Zhang Hu stood at the door, looking at the closed door in front of him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

After a long time, Zhang Hu finally plucked up the courage and knocked on the door.

"what's up?"

Li Quan's voice came from inside the house.
