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..."

"Sir, we have been fooled this time. I'm afraid our Wang family is doomed..."

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, seeing a dark and cold cell all around him.

The suppressed aura made it difficult to release the emotions in his heart.

"how so?"

Wang Shiquan muttered to himself that Yuan Zhongnan's sudden change of sides and backstabbing was too sudden for him to react and find it hard to believe.

Not long ago, Yuan Zhongnan clearly promised to do well...

Why do you turn your back on someone in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that Yuan Zhongnan wanted to treat the Wang family as victims to calm Lin Hengzhong's anger?

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

"I underestimated Yuan Zhongnan!"

There was a sharp flash in his eyes: "However, it's not that easy for him, Yuan Zhongnan, to use my Wang family as a pawn!"

"If you have to fight to the death, don't blame me for being rude!"

The voice was extremely cold.

As the prefect of Xunyang, he is not an ordinary person. If he dares to make such a move, he will naturally be well prepared.

Since Yuan Zhongnan dares to be unjust, 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 things were not at their worst yet.

"Zheng Chang, where are Madam and the others?"

Wang Shiquan asked in a deep voice.

"Madam, they are fine, but they are being detained..."

Zheng Chang said in a deep voice: "Sir, 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 me."

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.

Wearing brocade robes, he has a majestic look and a good aura.

Yuan Zhongnan.

Wang Shiquan slowly raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhongnan outside the cell. Countless emotions flashed through him.

At this moment, Wang Shiquan fell to the ground, his hair was messy, and his clothes were stained with a lot of dust and blood. He looked miserable and lost half of the temperament of Xunyang Prefect.

But his eyes were still sharp, staring at Yuan Zhongnan with a hint of questioning, "Why?"

"you lose!"

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

Wang Shiquan suddenly frowned and stared at him without speaking.

"From the beginning, you should not 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: "Are you even afraid of the Lin family?"

"Why should I, the governor, be afraid of them?"

Yuan Zhongnan looked indifferently, "The Lin family is certainly powerful, so what does it do to 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 time.

"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 hint of betrayal and anger 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 a single blow.

Good idea!

Yuan Zhongnan was silent for a moment: "I just promised you that if Lin Hengzhong sends troops to enter the country, I will not sit idly by and ignore it, but I did not promise to protect your Wang family to the death!"

Before Wang Shiquan could speak, a coldness flashed in Yuan Zhongnan's eyes: "This time, your Wang family brought it upon yourself, and you did not lose unjustly."

"Even this governor can't protect you!"

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

Yuan Zhongnan took out a ledger from his arms 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, the yellowed pages, the content recorded on it...

"Secret room?!"

He suddenly remembered the origin of this account book.

But soon he realized something.

wrong!

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

Isn’t everything inside 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 governor."

"Is there anyone?"

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

Yuan Zhongnan did not speak, but said in a deep voice: "I thought that your Wang family was just forming a clique behind the scenes to enrich your own pockets. I didn't expect you to be so courageous..."

"If you seek death like this, even this governor can't protect you."

Wang Shiquan's face was gloomy for a long time. He stared at the account book in his hand and took a deep breath: "It's just an account book, what does it mean?"

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 the current Crown Prince?"

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

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

Wang Shiquan's face became increasingly ugly,

It is true that a mere account book means nothing, but if this account book falls into the hands of His Royal Highness, its nature will be completely different.

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

Everyone knows that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are currently at odds with each other. This account book may not have much impact on the Third Prince, but it will definitely be a disaster for the Wang family!

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

Since Yuan Zhongnan can get this account book, as long as this account book does not reach His Royal Highness, everything will be fine.

"Ah!"
