son, don't mess around

Chapter 176 Sudden Reversal

late at night.

Inside and outside the prefect's mansion, flames were everywhere, and it was a dilapidated scene.

The majestic and towering gates of the past have long been devastated, and the gates are densely covered with traces of swords and swords, crumbling.

Inside and outside the gate, it was a mess.

The strong smell of blood in the air was almost suffocating.

There were constant screams and wailing, and panicked figures intertwined in the night firelight inside and outside the courtyard.On the ground, many corpses have fallen.

In the prefect's mansion, the only remaining guards and worship masters could only support them hard, retreating steadily.

Tonight is a nightmare for the Prefect’s Mansion!

The dignified Taishou Mansion in Xunyang County has never experienced such an attack.Those masters wearing black armor were like the god of death in the night, easily tearing through their proud defense and harvesting their lives.

If it weren't for the complex terrain of the prefect's mansion, and the fact that the other party didn't seem to plan to go deep, they had a chance to breathe.

But even so, they still suffered heavy losses.

Not even able to survive.

Just when everyone thought it was over tonight!
Outside the prefect's mansion, under the darkness of night, there were waves of dull footsteps.Immediately afterwards, a row of soldiers in armor appeared on the street outside the mansion, approaching the prefect's mansion!

"City, the city defense army is here!"

In the darkness, someone tremblingly called out.

The people in the mansion who were almost in despair suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

City, the city defense army is coming? !

So, so good!
outside the house.

Crowds of figures appeared and gathered outside the prefect's mansion from all directions.

Neatly packed and impressive!
A row of soldiers in blue armor and armed with spears lined up and surrounded the entire Taishou Mansion.

At the same time, the black-armored masters who had been pressing on in the prefect's mansion suddenly began to retreat. Before the city defense army arrived, these black-armored masters also withdrew.

All of this happened very quickly, and when the city defense army arrived, the mansion had already fallen into silence, leaving a mess on the ground.

A dilapidated scene!
A row of city defense troops poured into the prefect's mansion in an orderly manner, and began to take over the order in the prefect's mansion, clean up the scene, and arrange the wounded.

"The City Defense Army is here!"

"Great, great, we're saved!"

"God bless!"

In the prefect's mansion, countless people burst into tears.

Tonight is nothing short of a nightmare for them.

It was not until the support of the city defense army arrived that this nightmare finally ended.

The maidservants in the prefect's mansion were scared out of their wits, and they didn't dare to come out until they were sure that there was no danger. They followed the city defense army to clean up the scene and treat the wounded.

Tonight, the prefect's mansion suffered heavy losses and countless wounded.

In the light of the flames, countless soldiers in blue armor could be seen busily shuttling through the mansion, feeling full of security.

In the courtyard on the other side, Wang Cheng fell down and sat in the courtyard, his eyes lost.It wasn't until someone rushed into the yard to help him bandage his wounds that he suddenly came back to his senses.

"The city defense army is here, we won!"

The guard beside him who bandaged his wounds sounded excited.

"The city defense army is coming?!"

There was a trace of excitement in Wang Cheng's eyes, and then he suddenly thought of something: "My lord, where is your lord?"

"My lord is fine!"

"Master Inspector has come..."

Hearing this news, Wang Cheng was finally slightly relieved.

"Thanks to the city defense army arriving in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. It's a pity that those black-armored experts withdrew early after hearing the news... If they were slower, they would all have to stay!"

The guard next to him spoke viciously.

"Retreat?"

Wang Cheng was startled and frowned: "No one left?"

"Yes, they all ran away before the city defense troops arrived..."

As the guard beside him explained, Wang Cheng leaned under the eaves and frowned, sensing something was wrong.

All gone?
This seems a little unusual.

He raised his head with difficulty, and could vaguely see many green armored soldiers shuttling through the mansion in front of him.

Tonight, the prefect's mansion was severely damaged, with heavy casualties.Now the city defense army arrived and took over the prefect's mansion.

But for some reason, Wang Cheng always had an unexplainable feeling.

……

When the city defense army and the governor arrived, Wang Shiquan finally let go of his hanging heart.

Then he suddenly raised his head, and in the corridor not far in front of him, the man dressed in white was still standing quietly, looking at him indifferently.

His eyes were still cold and full of murderous intent!
But at this moment, Wang Shiquan didn't panic much.

He took a deep breath and said coldly: "Today, I'm afraid you won't be able to kill me."

The woman in white didn't speak, but her sleeves shook slightly.

The next second, something seemed to be chirping softly.

"Lord be careful!"

A deep panic sounded, and Wang Shiquan's pupils shrank, showing fear.

A guard stood in front of Wang Shiquan.

"what……"

With a sharp scream, the guard in front of Wang Shiquan stretched out his hand to block it, but his palm was pierced in an instant, and blood was sprayed horizontally.

Seeing this scene, Wang Shiquan's heart trembled and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Bold!"

A muffled cold drink came.

At the same time, countless soldiers in armor poured in and quickly surrounded the mansion.

"City Defense Army?!"

When the guards present saw this scene, their faces showed surprise.

At the same time, a path parted through the crowd.A middle-aged man stepped in slowly.

The middle-aged man has a solemn face and sharp eyes. He is wearing a dark brocade robe and has a majestic aura.From the moment he appeared, the surroundings were silent.

He didn't say a word, but there was an intimidating aura about him.

Yuan Zhongnan!
Governor of Yanzhou!

"Prince Yuan!"

The moment he saw the middle-aged man, Wang Shiquan's eyes suddenly lit up.The guards beside him fell to their knees.

"Greetings, Lord Inspector!"

Wang Shiquan stepped forward quickly, suppressed the joy in his heart, and cupped his hands: "Lord Governor, you came too timely!"

There was silence all around.

The fire light shone on everyone's faces, Yuan Zhongnan was serious, his eyes swept across the corridor in the courtyard, and he nodded slightly.

"Master Wang, are you injured?"

"Thanks to the timely arrival of the governor, the subordinate was not injured!"

Wang Shiquan's voice couldn't conceal his excitement.

Whether the Wang family can survive this crisis depends entirely on the governor.And Yuan Zhongnan's appearance here tonight is tantamount to helping him a lot.

This means that their Wang family has hope this time.

Thinking of what happened a few days ago, Wang Shiquan suppressed his joy.

The joy of accident!

Yuan Zhongnan nodded expressionlessly, glancing ahead from the corner of his eye, and his eyes fell on the standing figure in white.

Slight frown.

"Lord Inspector..."

Wang Shiquan approached and whispered something in Yuan Zhongnan's ear.

A strange color flashed across Yuan Zhongnan's eyes, he nodded thoughtfully, and looked at the figure in white: "Your surname is Jiang?"

Zhiyuan's eyes were indifferent, and she didn't say a word.

"Sure enough, she has personality."

Yuan Zhongnan nodded lightly, and his face was also calm.

"Lord Governor, this person must be eliminated..."

On the side, Wang Shiquan's voice was low and cold, "She is a remnant of the Jiang family, leaving her behind will cause endless troubles..."

Now that his biggest backer has arrived, Wang Shiquan no longer has any worries. This woman in white is the biggest threat to him.

must be removed.

"Remove?"

Yuan Zhongnan glanced at Wang Shiquan, nodded: "It must be removed."

Glancing at the several figures lying on the ground, and then looking at the figure in white, Yuan Zhongnan narrowed his eyes: "It seems that Lin Hengzhong taught you well!"

"With such skills at such a young age, your future achievements, a girl, may be far beyond that!"

"However, it's a pity..."

Yuan Zhongnan sighed lightly.

Zhiyuan stared at the middle-aged man in front of her with cold eyes.

She is no stranger to this person.

Governor of Yanzhou, Yuan Zhongnan!

Being able to live in the governor of a state is naturally not a simple person.

Although this Yuan Zhongnan couldn't be compared with the prince, but as the governor of a state, he could be regarded as the chief official of the Daning Dynasty.

Regardless of Xinsichengfu, it is not Wang Shiquan who can compare.

His words are full of meaning.

Zhi Yuan glanced around, and there were densely armed city defense officers and soldiers all around.In the distance, His Royal Highness's troops have already withdrawn.

It seems that everything has settled down.

ended?
Zhiyuan frowned slightly, but still remained silent.

After Yuan Zhongnan said that regretful sigh, he seemed to fall into silence and did not speak for a long time.

Wang Shiquan on the side was slightly stunned.

"Master Yuan..."

Wang Shiquan couldn't help but said in a low voice: "This woman must be removed as soon as possible!"

Yuan Zhongnan glanced at him: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Wang Shiquan was startled, and quickly lowered his head: "I don't dare!"

Yuan Zhongnan looked at Wang Shiquan a few times, with a half-smile: "Master Wang, do you know that you made a big mistake?"

"The subordinate doesn't know."

"You overestimated yourself and underestimated me."

Wang Shiquan was startled, subconsciously looked up, Yuan Zhongnan still looked at him indifferently.

But for some reason, Wang Shiquan felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"Lord Inspector, what do you mean by this?"

Yuan Zhongnan's eyes were indifferent. At this moment, a soldier rushed over, walked to Yuan Zhongnan, leaned close and said something.

After Yuan Zhongnan finished listening, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.When the gaze fell on Wang Shiquan again, it had gradually become calm.

Wang Shiquan's heart suddenly sank, and he had an ominous premonition.

Yuan Zhongnan took a step and looked around.

At this moment, the surroundings are silent.

All eyes fell on Yuan Zhongnan.

Yuan Zhongnan withdrew his gaze and looked at Wang Shiquan: "This governor came here today to do two things!"

"The prefect's mansion was attacked. Naturally, the governor can't sit idly by. He will definitely grasp the overall situation and bring the murderer to justice. This is one of them!"

"As for the second..."

Speaking of this, Yuan Zhongnan paused, stared at Wang Shiquan, expressionless, and said word by word: "Wang Shiquan, the prefect of Xunyang County, formed a clique for personal gain and collaborated with the enemy and treason. The evidence is conclusive..."

"Come on, get it for me!"

The voice just fell.

There was an uproar all around.

Wang Shiquan's face also became very ugly in an instant, unbelievable.

Forming a party for personal gain?

Collaboration with the enemy and treason?

This……

At this moment, Wang Shiquan's head seemed to be hit hard by some heavy object, his body swayed, and he almost lost his footing.

"Yuan, Mr. Yuan, you..."

He stared at Yuan Zhongnan in disbelief, extremely surprised, almost speechless because of shock.

He, he Yuan Zhongnan no, isn't he already...

How dare he? !

However, when he looked at Yuan Zhongnan's expressionless eyes, Wang Shiquan's heart skipped a beat.

Finally realized... something went wrong!

What a big deal!

When he was about to speak, two soldiers approached him from the left and the right and captured him.

"Yuan Zhongnan!!"

Wang Shiquan, who suffered a sudden change, was very angry.

No matter what, he never thought that he would be tricked by Yuan Zhongnan.He wanted to speak angrily, but the next second, he felt his mouth was blocked.

In the next second, his head was dizzy, and a sense of dizziness came over him instantly.

Before he fell into a coma, Wang Shiquan finally realized what... something serious happened!
Backstabbed!

……

There was an uproar all around.

Those master guards in the prefect's mansion were all dumbfounded!

What, what's going on?

Didn't Lord Inspector come to help them?

But why did they arrest their prefect?
Forming a party for personal gain?

Collaboration with the enemy and treason?

Everyone trembled, treason!
Who is responsible for this crime? !
When Wang Shiquan was captured, the surrounding guards also failed to escape.Seeing that even their prefect had been arrested, the rest of them had no backbone, and they were arrested one after another.

After a while, the entire courtyard was easily controlled by the city defense army in armor

"My lord, the prefect's mansion has been completely controlled, and all relevant people in the mansion have been taken down, but..."

"Wang Changjin, Wang Qin and others are missing and their whereabouts are unknown..."

A soldier walked up to Yuan Zhongnan and reported the battle situation.

As the city defense army stepped into the prefect's mansion, they took over the internal defense of the entire prefect's mansion.With almost no effort, the entire prefect's mansion was quietly taken down.

Wang Shiquan, I'm afraid he never dreamed of this.

Yuan Zhongnan nodded expressionlessly: "Keep Wang Shiquan and others in solitary confinement, and I will personally interrogate them!"

"Yes!"

"A city-wide search, we must arrest Wang Changjin and others!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Silent night.

Yuan Zhongnan raised his eyes to look at the sky, the entire prefect's mansion was still full of flames and chaos, and the bloody smell in the air was mixed with a bit of chill.

Just as he was about to step away, he seemed to notice something, stopped, raised his eyes, and looked at the white-clothed figure standing there not far away, with a somewhat puzzled look.

"Your lord, you gave birth to a good son!"

Yuan Zhongnan spoke slowly, his tone somewhat emotional.

Zhiyuan frowned slightly at first, then relaxed her pretty eyebrows.

"Go back and tell your highness!"

Yuan Zhongnan remained expressionless: "What the governor promised him has been done, and what he promised the governor, don't break his word!"

After finishing speaking, before Zhi Yuan could speak, Yuan Zhongnan turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Zhiyuan stood where she was, thoughtful.

After a moment, she turned and left.

……

In a dark cell.

When Wang Shiquan woke up, his head was dizzy.

"Big, my lord, are you all right?"

An anxious cry came from my ear.

Wang Shiquan opened his eyes and saw Zheng Chang's anxious face.

"This, where is this?"

Wang Shiquan looked around, it was pitch black, and he quickly realized where he was.

Immediately afterwards, the thoughts in the mind resumed.

His complexion gradually became gloomy and embarrassing.

"Big, my lord..."

Zheng Chang's voice trembled anxiously: "It's over, our Wang family is about to end..."
