The waste prince is so fierce

Chapter 114 Liu Guang's Wrist

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in official uniform walking in. He had a dignified face and a sharp gaze. He was Liu Guang, the magistrate of Wuling County.

Liu Guang walked to the center of the hall, scanned everyone, and finally stopped his gaze on Li Quan.

He asked in a deep voice: "Are you Li Quan?"

Li Quan nodded and said, "That's right."

Liu Guang nodded, glanced at Shen Qingshan and Liu Shan beside him and asked, "Did you order the arrest of my son and Master Shen?"

Li Quan's expression remained unchanged: "That's right!"

Liu Guang's face suddenly darkened: "How dare you! Beat up the constable and break into the county government office to cause trouble! You are defying the laws of our Dakang!"

As soon as Liu Guang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire county government office became tense again.

Although Li Quan remained calm, he knew in his heart that this matter was not that simple.

He had already anticipated that there would be official pressure, but he did not expect it to come so soon, and directly from the county magistrate himself.

He took a deep breath and replied calmly, "Lord Liu, I am not disrespecting the laws of Dakang, but I am upholding the dignity of the laws. In today's incident, it was Master Shen and Liu Shan who started the fight first, and I had to fight back only to protect myself and my guards. Moreover, I have reported the matter to the court, and I believe the court will give me a fair judgment."

Liu Guang frowned when he heard this.

He naturally knew what Shen Qingshan had done, but he was the county magistrate and his job was to maintain the stability of the entire county.

The Shen family has a huge influence in Wuling County. If we offend them easily, we might cause unnecessary trouble.

But if Li Quan is allowed to be so arrogant, where is his dignity?

He pondered for a moment and said to Li Quan: "Mr. Li, I already know your story. But this matter involves the county government and the Shen family, so I can't make a decision easily. You go back first, I will report this matter to the prefect, and the prefect will make the decision."

Li Quan knew that Liu Guang was giving him a way out, and he also understood the difficulties he faced as a county magistrate.

He nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Liu, for handling this matter fairly. I will wait for the prefect's decision."

After saying that, Li Quan took Zhang Hu and others and left the county government office.

Liu Guang, Shen Qingshan and Liu Shan watched them leave, each with their own plans in mind.

After Li Quan returned to his residence, he immediately summoned Zhang Hu and other guards to discuss countermeasures.

He knew that this matter would not end so easily.

The Shen family has a huge influence in Wuling County, and they will definitely try every means to retaliate. Although Liu Guang seems to be fair in handling the matter, he is the county magistrate after all, and he may not stand on his side.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

Zhang Hu asked.

Li Quan pondered for a moment and said, "First, we must strengthen our defenses to prevent the Shen family from retaliating. Second, we must continue to collect evidence of the Shen family's crimes and prepare for the court's verdict. It would be best if we could nail the Shen family to death as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hu and others nodded in agreement.

They knew that this matter was of great importance and must be handled with caution.

Next, in the process of collecting evidence, Li Quan accidentally discovered a shocking secret.

It turns out that the Shen family not only oppressed the people and bullied the villagers in Wuling County, but also secretly colluded with foreign enemies and sold weapons!

Once this secret is exposed, it will be enough to plunge the Shen family into an irretrievable situation!

On the other side, Liu Shan complained as soon as Li Quan and his men left.

"Dad, why did you just let the people who bullied me go like that?"

"shut up!"

Before Liu Shan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liu Guang rudely: "Have you not figured out the identity of this person yet? He is from the capital! The Liuyun boots he is wearing are only available at the Tian family cloth shop in the capital. And the Tian family supplies the palace!"

Liu Guang's words stunned Liu Shan.

Coming from the capital? Wearing Flowing Cloud Boots? The cloth shop of the Tian family? These words were extremely familiar. Soon, one thing emerged in his mind.

Li Quan has not been panicked at all since he entered the county government office.

Moreover, the cooperation of Zhang Hu and other guards was obviously excellent.

After all, whether they are regular troops or militia, you can tell at a glance.

"Could it be..." Liu Shan suddenly raised his head and asked in panic, "You mean, the one with the surname Li is a young master from a noble family in the capital?"

Liu Guang shook his head: "Not sure. So far, all we know is his name."

Liu Shan took a breath and said, "No wonder this kid is so arrogant. It turns out he has such a strong background."

If this is true, Liu Shan has hit a wall this time.

"Dad, what should we do now?"

"Let's wait and see what happens."

Li Quan sat on the chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was thinking about a countermeasure.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Tonight, you should prepare gifts and go to their house to apologize. Then find a few smart guys to keep an eye on them. If they know what's best for them, then it's fine. But if they don't, you can't blame me!"

After hearing Li Quan's arrangement, Liu Shan nodded: "I understand."

That night, Liu Shan ordered several elite men to go to Li's house to secretly follow and monitor the actions of Li Quan and others.

At the same time, in the study behind the county government office.

"Dad, we are ready and can start at any time."

Liu Guang looked at his son and asked with a smile, "Where is that kid named Li Quan? Is he behaving in any unusual way?"

"not yet."

"Well, since that guy dared to come to Wuling County to cause trouble, he must have a trump card. Send two people to keep an eye on them to prevent him from playing tricks."

"Dad, don't worry, I know what to do."

After the father and son finished discussing the matter, Liu Guang turned around and told the housekeeper: "Have someone fetch all the evidence against those bastards from the Shen family."

"Yes, sir."

Liu Guang nodded with satisfaction. He was confident about what would happen tonight.

……

In the living room in the front hall of the county government office.

"Dad, don't we really need to remind Liu Guang? That Li Quan might have a complicated background!"

Shen Qingshan asked worriedly, because when they were in the county government office, Liu Guang's attitude towards them was too perfunctory. It didn't seem like he wanted to punish them at all, but rather seemed like he was deliberately condoning their mischief.

Shen Zhenguo said with a serious face: "No need, it's a good opportunity for Liu Guang to test the depth of Li Quan. This Li Quan is too weird."

"Oh? What's strange?" Shen Qingshan frowned and asked in confusion.

"I can't really explain it. I always feel that he is a bit sinister and cunning, but he looks honest. His style of doing things is a bit inconsistent with the rumors."

After a pause, Shen Zhenguo said, "Maybe I'm worrying too much?"

"I hope so." Shen Qingshan sighed.

He vaguely felt that Liu Guang's behavior was a bit strange.

But I can't tell what's wrong.
