son, don't mess around

Chapter 177
Zheng Chang's voice was low and trembling. This military advisor who had been with Wang Shiquan for many years, making suggestions and strategizing, looked so panicked for the first time in his life.

"Yuan Zhongnan stabbed us in the back..."

"The prefect's mansion has fallen into his control, and everyone in the Wang family is under control..."

"My lord, we were fooled this time, our Wang family, I'm afraid it's over..."

Seeing the desperate look on Zheng Chang's face, Wang Shiquan, who had just woken up, felt his heart drop to the bottom.

Finished?

He raised his head with difficulty, surrounded by darkness and cold cell.

The oppressive breath made it difficult for him to release his emotions.

"How could this be?"

Wang Shiquan muttered to himself, Yuan Zhongnan's sudden defection and backstab was too sudden, he couldn't react and couldn't believe it.

Not long ago, Yuan Zhongnan clearly promised to be good...

Why do you turn your face and deny people in the blink of an eye?
Could it be that Yuan Zhongnan wanted to use their Wang family as a sacrifice to appease Lin Hengzhong's anger?

Thinking of this, Wang Shiquan's face was gloomy and angry.

"I underestimated Yuan Zhongnan!"

A trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes: "However, it is not so easy for Yuan Zhongnan to treat my Wang family as a pawn!"

"If you want to die, don't blame me for being rude!"

The voice was extremely cold.

As the prefect of Xunyang, he is not an ordinary person.If you dare to make this move, you will naturally be prepared for it.

Since Yuan Zhongnan dared to be unrighteous, don't blame him for being rude!
After a brief panic, Wang Shiquan gradually calmed down.

What happened tonight was too sudden and completely unexpected.But after calming down and analyzing, he realized that the worst was not the case.

"Zheng Chang, what about Madam and the others?"

Wang Shiquan asked in a deep voice.

"Ma'am, they are all fine, but they are also being imprisoned..."

Zheng Chang said in a deep voice, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Hearing that his wife was fine, Wang Shiquan breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Wait."

"Wait?"

"Yuan Zhongnan will definitely come to see this official."

Wang Shiquan spoke expressionlessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps approaching, and a middle-aged man's figure appeared outside the cell.

Brocade robes, majestic complexion, good breath.

Yuan Zhongnan.

Wang Shiquan raised his head slowly and looked at Yuan Zhongnan outside the cell, countless emotions flashed by.

At this moment, Wang Shiquan sat down on the ground, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were stained with a lot of dust and blood.

But his gaze was still full of energy, staring at Yuan Zhongnan burningly, and questioningly, "Why?"

"you lose!"

Yuan Zhongnan didn't answer his question, but just said something nonchalantly.

Wang Shiquan frowned suddenly, staring at him without speaking.

"From the very beginning, you shouldn't have provoked the Lin family."

Yuan Zhongnan put his hands behind his back and shook his head expressionlessly: "You can't afford to offend them."

Wang Shiquan said in a deep voice: "Even you are afraid of their Lin family?"

"Why should the governor be afraid of them?"

Yuan Zhongnan looked indifferently, "Although the Lin family is powerful, what does it have to do with the governor?"

Naturally, he is not afraid of the Lin family. The dignified governor of Yanzhou is not an ordinary person, and he is also a great figure who keeps his word in this troubled world.

"Why are you doing this?"

Wang Shiquan stared at him with burning eyes, and said coldly: "Don't forget, what you promised me before!"

There was a trace of betrayal in his tone.

He never expected that he would be stabbed in the back by the person he trusted the most.

With the help of the city defense troops entering the mansion, when the governor's mansion was at its weakest, the entire governor's mansion was captured without any bloodshed.

Good trick!
Yuan Zhongnan was silent for a moment: "The governor just promised you that if Lin Heng sends troops to enter the country again, the governor will not sit idly by, but he didn't promise to protect your Wang family to death!"

Before Wang Shiquan could speak, a trace of coldness flashed in Yuan Zhongnan's eyes: "This time, your Wang family is to blame, and you won't be wronged if you lose."

"This governor can't keep you!"

Wang Shiquan stared at him: "What do you mean by that?!"

Yuan Zhongnan took out an account book from his pocket and threw it in front of Wang Shiquan.

Wang Shiquan was stunned, picked up the account book and opened a few pages. The next second his expression suddenly changed: "Where did you... come from?"

"What do you think?"

Yuan Zhongnan sneered.

Wang Shiquan stared at the account book in his hand, so familiar with the yellowed pages, the content recorded on it...

"The secret room?!"

He suddenly remembered the origin of this ledger.

But soon he realized something.

wrong!

Didn't the secret room in the back mountain explode and collapse?

Isn't everything in it already buried?

So, where did this ledger come from?
Wang Shiquan suddenly raised his head and stared at Yuan Zhongnan.

Yuan Zhongnan said expressionlessly: "Someone gave it to me as the governor."

"Someone?"

Wang Shiquan's expression changed suddenly: "Who?"

Yuan Zhongnan didn't open his mouth, but said in a deep voice: "The governor thought that your Wang family was just secretly forming a party for personal gain and filling your pockets. I didn't expect you to be so courageous..."

"If you die like this, the governor will not be able to protect you."

Wang Shiquan's face was gloomy for a long time, he stared at the ledger in his hand, took a deep breath: "It's just a ledger, what can it represent?"

The secret room in the back mountain has collapsed and all evidence has been buried.

It's just a ledger, nothing can be changed.

"Just a ledger?"

Yuan Zhongnan glanced at him: "What if this account book appears in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Shiquan's expression changed again.

"Today, the prince is in seclusion and ignores the government affairs. His Royal Highness is supervising the country in the court. You and I know the character of His Royal Highness very well. If this account book falls into his hands, do you think your Wang family can escape this disaster?"

Wang Shiquan's complexion became more and more ugly,
A mere account book does not mean much, but if the account book falls into the hands of His Royal Highness, the nature of the account book will be completely different.

Once the third prince is implicated, the consequences will be disastrous!

Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in harmony with the Third Prince.This account book may not have much impact on the third prince, but it is definitely a disaster for their royal family!

But soon, Wang Shiquan suddenly thought of something again, he raised his head and stared at Yuan Zhongnan: "This account book can't reach His Highness the Crown Prince, right?"

Since Yuan Zhongnan can get the ledger, as long as the ledger is not in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince, everything will be fine.

"Ah!"

Unexpectedly, when Yuan Zhongnan heard his words, a meaningful sneer appeared on his face: "You really don't know, who gave this account book to the governor?"

Wang Shiquan was startled, staring at him: "Who?!"

At this time, Zheng Chang, who had been silent by the side and did not speak, seemed to realize something, his face turned pale, and his voice trembled: "Lin, Prince Lin?!"

As soon as the name came out, Wang Shiquan froze on the spot.

After a moment, he couldn't believe it, his eyes were terrified.

"Lin, Lin Jiangnian?!"

"He, he's not dead?!"

When looking at Yuan Zhongnan's calm expression, Wang Shiquan came to his senses instantly as if he had been enlightened.

The only person who knows the secret of the Houshan Chamber of Secrets is Lin Jiangnian.This account book is also the account book in the back mountain secret room.

Now that the ledger is in Yuan Zhongnan's hands, does this mean that Lin Jiangnian is not dead? !
Have you met Yuan Zhongnan?
even……

What agreement did they most likely reach? !

That's why Yuan Zhongnan suddenly backstabbed and defected? !

Wang Shiquan instantly understood everything.

Lin Jiangnian is not dead!
When this idea came to him, he was both surprised and delighted.

The joy is that Lin Jiangnian is not dead, and the Wang family doesn't have to worry about Lin Hengzhong's death.

But what was surprising was that Lin Jiangnian was not dead, and he would definitely not let their Wang family go.

This matter will probably be more complicated.

"He, is he really not dead?!"

Wang Shiquan's voice trembled a little, still not sure.

Wang Changjin clearly claimed that he killed Prince Lin with his own eyes, how could he still be alive?

Yuan Zhongnan didn't answer his question, but said indifferently: "Do you still think that this ledger won't reach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Wang Shiquan's face showed a bit of despair, and he fell to the ground as if all the breath in his body was emptied in an instant.

"No wonder..."

Wang Shiquan murmured to himself, his face pale.

That is Prince Lin!

And this ledger will definitely be sent to the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

With the character of Lin Wang's son, if he is not dead, how could he let their royal family go?
I'm afraid, it will be straightened to death!
Wang Shiquan finally realized that the Wang family might really be doomed this time!
only……

He was not reconciled.

He stared at Yuan Zhongnan in front of him: "Don't forget what you promised me?"

"If my royal family collapses, it won't do you any good, even..."

A trace of coldness flashed across Yuan Zhongnan's eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

Wang Shiquan gritted his teeth in a deep voice: "Over the years, my Wang family has done so many things for you...Now that something has happened to my Wang family, do you really want to sit idly by?"

Yuan Zhongnan was silent for a moment: "This time, the governor cannot help you."

He shook his head slightly, with a hint of regret in his tone.

Over the years, the Wang family has indeed supported him a lot behind the scenes, and out of emotion and reason, he does not want the Wang family to fall.

But right now, things are beyond his control.

"If he died, your Wang family might have a chance to escape this time. But he didn't die..."

Yuan Zhongnan shook his head expressionlessly: "He won't let you go, and your Wang family can't escape..."

"Even if you don't have this account book, do you think your Wang family can play with him?"

Wang Shiquan was silent, remembering for no reason his previous brief contact with Prince Lin.

No matter the mind or the calmness and reaction displayed by the Prince Lin, it was far beyond his imagination.

Hiding clumsy!

This was what he thought at the time.

"That Prince Lin Wang is as talented as Lin Hengzhong."

As if thinking of something, Yuan Zhongnan narrowed his eyes, shook his head slightly after a while: "Lin Hengzhong, you are indeed playing a big game of chess!"

At this moment, Wang Shiquan's face has lost half of its color.

He looked defeated and fell to the ground.

He realized that this time the Wang family might really have a hard time!
Yuan Zhongnan had obviously made his choice, and when the Prince Lin found him, he must have reached some kind of agreement with him.

And their royal family finally became abandoned sons!
Wang Shiquan was unwilling, but in the end, this unwillingness disappeared.

silence.

Silence for a long time.

"Please do me a favor!"

Wang Shiquan spoke in a deep voice.

"This time, our Wang family was indeed defeated, and the loss was not wronged..."

"Since this grievance started with me, it will end with me..."

Wang Shiquan stared at Yuan Zhongnan: "But my wife and children are innocent. My Wang family can be destroyed. It is not a pity for me, Wang Shiquan, to die, but my wife and children cannot die, especially Qin'er. He is the only bloodline of my Wang family..."

"Save them out and send them safely out of Xunyang County..."

Wang Shiquan spoke in a deep voice, seeing Yuan Zhongnan remained silent, Wang Shiquan took a deep breath.

"You save their lives, and I will give you what you want... I promise, it will never affect your status as the governor."

Only then did Yuan Zhongnan's eyes slowly retract, restraining the last trace of coldness in his eyes.

"it is good!"

"..."

It was just dawn, and it was getting bright.

In Xunyang City, the prefect's mansion was silent.

There were no traces of the fight last night outside the hospital, as if nothing had happened.

In the entire mansion, it is still as usual.Except for the occasional smell of blood that has not been completely cleaned up in the air, there is nothing abnormal.

In Xunyang City, some people heard the movement last night, but they didn't know what happened, and there were many discussions.

Outside the prefect's mansion, in a courtyard near the east side.

"That's what happened..."

Lin Jiangnian sat under the eaves and slowly explained.

Zhiyuan, dressed in white, stood aside with a thoughtful look on her cold face.

"Why did Yuan Zhongnan agree to help you?"

she asked.

"Why would he refuse?"

Lin Jiangnian was all smiles, and wanted to hug her, but Zhi Yuan avoided her without a trace.

After hugging for a while, Lin Jiangnian withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and sighed: "He has no reason to refuse..."

"The Wang family is just a chess piece to him, an agent in Xunyang County. Without the Wang family, there are Liu family, Zhao family... For him, this chess piece can be changed at any time."

"In this way, Yuan Zhongnan will not completely turn his face against Linwang's mansion for a royal family..."

Lin Jiangnian's explanation was impeccable.

Zhiyuan frowned slightly after listening, and looked at Lin Jiangnian again.

She always felt that Lin Jiangnian seemed to be hiding something from her.

Seeing that she still seemed to be in doubt, Lin Jiangnian got up and approached her, and gently hugged her from behind: "Although he Yuan Zhongnan is the governor of Yanzhou, he is not favored in the court. Putting people around... For him, the majestic governor of a state naturally does not want his territory to be interfered by others. Instead of surrendering to the court, it is better to give it a go..."

"Of course, there is another reason..."

"Although the Wang family is a pawn, they have secretly grasped some of Yuan Zhongnan's tricks these years. For Yuan Zhongnan, if he can take the opportunity to get rid of the Wang family, it is also a good choice..."

Being hugged by Lin Jiangnian, Zhi Yuan turned her head slightly unnaturally, struggled subconsciously, but to no avail.

He didn't move again.

Just glanced at him sideways: "That's all?"

"if not?"

Lin Jiangnian smiled all over his face: "Don't you think this son will still lie to you?"

Zhiyuan didn't speak.

"So, this time my prince hit it off with that Governor Yuan, and he got into trouble..."

"A match made in heaven!"

Lin Jiangnian sneered.

"His Wang family, there will be no way out this time!"
