Chapter 228 Attacking the Qiao Family
Chapter 228 Attacking the Qiao Family
Qiao Mansion.
A servant hurried to the front of the Qiao family master.
"Master, something bad has happened!" the servant said anxiously.
The head of the Qiao family looked at the account book calmly: "What happened?"
The servant lowered his voice and said, "Master Yuliang has kidnapped the young master of the Huguogong Mansion."
Patriarch Qiao paused and asked, "Who told him to do this?"
"It was Master Yuliang's own idea. He said Ye Ping'an didn't know what was good for him. He wanted to cooperate with Ye Ping'an and invited Ye Ping'an to have fun. Ye Ping'an didn't appreciate it and instead lectured him. He even beat him in anger. Master Yuliang was so angry that he designed to kidnap him."
"The Duke of Huguo's Mansion and the Prince of Pingshan's Mansion are looking for someone everywhere!"
"If they find the person and know that it was Young Master Yuliang who kidnapped him, then our Qiao family will be in trouble."
The Qiao family master did not look nervous at all when he heard this. He remained calm and said, "Don't be impatient. Yuliang was confused, but it's not a big deal. Although the Duke of Huguo Mansion and the Prince of Pingshan Mansion are in the limelight, these two forces have no real power and are not a threat."
The Duke of Protectorate was proud and had great trust in the Emperor. Every time he returned to the capital after a victory, the first thing he did was to hand over his military power.
After pacifying the war in Yunling Pass, the Duke of Protectorate handed over the military power. He is now just a Duke of Protectorate with no real power.
Let alone King Pingshan, a prince who came from the countryside. He didn’t even know how many streets there were in the capital, let alone have any real power.
No matter how much divine favor one has, it is useless for the powerful and wealthy who only have a title. They are not to be feared.
"Take your men and go find Master Yuliang first and warn him not to cause any deaths, so that Shangguan Zhenhua, that old man, won't come to cause trouble for the head of our family."
As soon as he finished speaking, the butler came hurriedly.
"Master, it's bad, the Duke of Protectorate has broken in with his men!"
The Qiao family head no longer looked calm.
Another villain came hurriedly to report.
"Master, it's bad. King Pingshan and his guards have surrounded our Qiao Mansion!"
"What?" The head of the Qiao family could no longer hold his temper and stood up in anger: "Why did King Pingshan surround our Qiao Mansion? Where does he get the power!"
The head of the Qiao family came to the front yard angrily, and saw Shangguan Zhenhua and Ye Peng walking in, each carrying a long-handled sword, followed by a group of guards from the Duke's Mansion. When they saw the people from the Qiao Mansion, they picked up their weapons and started fighting.
"How dare you kidnap my Shangguan Zhenhua's grandson? I will make your Qiao family live in unrest!"
"Duke Protector of the Country!" The head of the Qiao family said angrily, "How dare you trespass into a private house? That's too presumptuous!"
Xiao Jingxuan, dressed in dark brocade, walked into the Qiao Mansion with a stern look in his eyes. Hearing what the Qiao family master said, he sneered, "Qiao family master, you are so powerful that you even dared to arrest my brother-in-law. Do you think I don't care about you? Or do you think that your Qiao family is so powerful that you are not afraid of anything and think that the entire Yuan Dynasty belongs to your Qiao family?"
The entire Yuan Dynasty belonged to the Qiao family?
The old face of the Qiao family head trembled: "Prince Pingshan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. My Qiao family is loyal to the emperor..."
"Don't give me that." Xiao Jingxuan interrupted him: "I'm not here to talk nonsense with you, I'm here to ask for punishment."
Patriarch Qiao's face darkened and he was about to speak again.
Jamel Xiao interrupted ruthlessly: "Don't deny it, your grandson Qiao Yuliang has been arrested and will be sent here soon, it's better for you to be honest."
Patriarch Qiao didn't believe it at all and said angrily, "Prince Pingshan, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Xiao Jingxuan looked at him and said, "You are really old and confused. Your ears are not good. I speak so clearly, but you can't understand. It's better not to have your ears. Cut them off!"
He Songlin immediately came over with a knife.
The Qiao family head's face changed drastically: "Prince Pingshan, you are too unreasonable. This family head did nothing, and you keep saying that my grandson kidnapped Ye Ping'an. Where are the witnesses? Where is the evidence? Without evidence, it is slander!"
"Here is the evidence." Ye Tang walked in with his men. Ye Ping'an had woken up, but his complexion was still very bad. Qiao Yuliang and his men were escorted by the palace guards. They all had bruised faces and noses, especially Qiao Yuliang. The bloody wound on his neck was hideous and terrifying. It was scary just to look at it.
"Yuliang!" The head of the Qiao family was shocked when he saw Qiao Yuliang's miserable condition. He wanted to come over to grab her, but was pushed away by the guards of the palace.
In addition to Qiao Yuliang, the people captured by Ye Tang also included Qiao Yuxin and her servant. However, the head of the Qiao family obviously did not notice their existence. He only had eyes for Qiao Yuliang.
Ye Tang looked at Patriarch Qiao coldly, "Qiao Yuliang planned to kidnap my brother and wanted to make a fait accompli between my brother and your granddaughter Qiao Yuxin. For this, Qiao Yuliang even poisoned my brother. My brother was only fifteen years old, and the drug almost took his life. Patriarch Qiao, you really screwed a pair of good children!"
Ye Peng was furious: "You Qiao family are so despicable and shameless. The girl you raised turned out to be such a shameless person who is eager to get married. She will use any means to get married. I have really learned a lot today!"
He pointed at Qiao Yuxin and said, "A lowly piece of shit like this is worthy of marrying my son. Bah! Even dogs don't want her."
He pointed at the head of the Qiao family and cursed: "As their grandfather, you are not a good person either. Your grandson framed my good grandson. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never let you go."
The head of the Qiao family is of the same age as Shangguan Zhenhua. He has many children. Qiao Yuliang and Qiao Yuxin are the youngest among his grandchildren and are of the age to get married.
"Can you guys calm down for a while?" The head of the Qiao family wiped the sweat from his face. He never thought that Qiao Yuliang would be caught so quickly. What a useless thing. He couldn't even handle a small thing and didn't know how to keep a low profile, attracting so many people.
Shangguan Zhenhua slapped him in the face: "Calm down, what the hell? Your grandson kidnapped my grandson and almost killed him, and you still want us to calm down? Fine, I'll beat you to death before you calm down."
"How dare you hit the head of this family?" The head of the Qiao family pointed at Shangguan Zhenhua in disbelief.
Shangguan Zhenhua swung his sword and stopped it on the head of the Qiao family leader: "Can't I hit him?"
The Qiao family head was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat: "Calm down, don't be impulsive, if you have something to say, talk it over nicely."
The commotion here was so loud that other members of the Qiao family rushed over upon hearing the news.
Seeing the gleaming sword pressed against the head of the Qiao family head, the Qiao family members were terrified and furious.
"Duke Protector of the Country, take the knife away from my father's head." The eldest son of the Qiao family shouted and ran over here.
Shangguan Zhenhua moved his hand, and the big knife fell down a little, cutting off the head of the Qiao family's hair and breaking the hair rope.
The gray hair of the head of the Qiao family suddenly spread out, and the whole person instantly became disheveled.
"Ouch! Sorry, my hand slipped!" Shangguan Zhenhua smiled apologetically at the Qiao family: "If you say another word of nonsense, this Duke's hand will slip even more, and then the head of the Qiao family will be broken into two halves."
