Chapter 230: Targeting the Qiao Family’s Small Treasury
"Master Qiao is so generous. He gave me two million taels right away." Shangguan Zhenhua clapped his hands and said, "There is no time to lose. Go get the silver now. Real gold and silver, no banknotes."
The head of the Qiao family actually didn't want to give it at all, but if he didn't give it, the trouble would be even bigger.
"Two million taels is not a small sum. It will take time to get the silver. Please go back to your residence and wait. I promise that within three days, I will give you two million taels of silver."
Shangguan Zhenhua did not agree immediately, but looked at Ye Pingan: "Are you satisfied?"
Ye Pingan covered his chest and said, "I am not satisfied. Today, my grandson has suffered the greatest humiliation in his life. Not only has his body been hurt, but his heart has also been seriously hurt. In addition to the silver, I will also repay you with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
He clapped his hands, and immediately two guards brought the widow in.
The widow was tied up and her mouth was blocked. When she saw Qiao Yuliang lying on the ground covered in blood, she struggled in fear.
Ye Ping'an said to the Qiao family, "This is the old woman Qiao Yuliang specially found to humiliate me. I have had someone diagnose this old woman and she has a disease. Qiao Yuliang not only wants to humiliate me by finding a woman with a disease, but also wants me to get sick so that I can never hold my head up high."
He ordered the guards to throw the widow onto Qiao Yuliang.
Ye Ping'an looked at Qiao Yuliang coldly: "I am a kind person, I will not kill you. Since you like the widow so much, then this widow will be yours in the future. You two should go to the bridal chamber now, and I will leave after you have finished the bridal chamber."
Everyone in the Qiao family looked livid. The head of the Qiao family looked at Ye Ping'an and said, "You are going too far."
Qiao Yuliang has become like this, there is no point for him to live. It doesn't matter if he dies, but we can't let him bring shame to the Qiao family.
Ye Peng sneered: "Is this deceiving?"
He strode over and stepped on Qiao Yuliang's neck. Qiao Yuliang screamed instantly. Ye Peng continued to laugh: "Trampling this bastard in front of you is the real bullying."
Shangguan Zhenhua met the angry eyes of the Qiao family head and said calmly: "Your grandson has brought this upon himself. If you don't do what my grandson said, then forget it. I will go to the palace to meet the emperor and ask the emperor to do justice for me."
"No, let's settle it privately, we have to settle it privately!" said the head of the Qiao family anxiously. He immediately asked someone to take Qiao Yuliang and the widow away, and Shangguan Zhenhua asked Fang Jing to follow.
After waiting for a long time, Fang Jing came back to report.
Qiao Yuliang's affair with the widow was settled.
Fang Jing also said: "Before the action, they took medicine, and Qiao Yuliang died on the widow."
He was already seriously injured, with the injury on his neck, and now he had a fight with the widow. It was already his limit that he could hold on until now.
"Son!" Among the crowd of Qiao family members, a lady cried miserably. That was Zheng.
Zheng wanted to rush over and cry to Ye Tang and his group, but Uncle Qiao covered her mouth with his hands and dragged her away.
"Now is not the time to cry and make a fuss. Don't come and cause trouble." The Qiao family's uncle took Zheng to a corner and said, "The Duke of Huguo and the King of Pingshan have joined forces to deal with our Qiao family. We can only bear it. Yuliang made the mistake first, so he will die if he dies."
"Master, that's our son!" Zheng's face was covered with tears.
The Qiao family's uncle looked indifferent: "I have many sons, and he is not a big deal."
The cruelty of these words shocked Zheng greatly.
"master......"
"Shut up!" Uncle Qiao scolded, "If you dare to say another word, you will die too!"
Zheng felt cold all over.
Is this the man she likes?
Qiao Yuliang died, but Ye Ping'an didn't react much. He just stood silently behind Ye Peng, waiting for his father, grandfather, sister and brother-in-law to handle everything for him.
The Qiao family is willing to settle the matter privately.
But the silver cannot be taken out for the time being.
The Qiao family will not give the money until three days later.
Shangguan Zhenhua: "I can give you three days, but you have to pay interest during these three days. Old Qiao is not going to die. I heard that you have a lot of treasures in your small treasury. How about this? You let my grandson go into your treasury and pick out any treasure, and that will be counted as interest."
The head of the Qiao family wanted to refuse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Shangguan Zhenhua looked at him coldly and raised the long-handled sword in his hand.
There was also Ye Peng, who also had a hostile look on his face, as if he would take action immediately if the head of the Qiao family dared to refuse.
Finally, it was Xiao Jingxuan and Ye Tang. The two of them had indifferent expressions, but their eyes both revealed a sharp and cold light.
The Qiao family head inexplicably felt a little pressured, and the words on his lips suddenly turned into: "Okay."
So, Ye Ping'an followed the head of the Qiao family to the small treasury.
Ye Tang followed, because Ye Ping'an asked her to go together.
The treasures in the small treasury are piled up like mountains.
Gold, silver, jewelry, precious swords, rare calligraphy and paintings...there is really everything.
The head of the Qiao family has a wide range of interests, and he will collect anything that has collectible value.
Patriarch Qiao glanced at Ye Tang and the others calmly and said, "You can pick whatever you want!"
There was a hint of pride in his tone, as if he was showing off how rich his little piggy bank was.
Ye Tang walked into the vault, looked left and right, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
Ye Ping'an was dazzled and didn't know what to choose.
He originally thought that he was already very rich, but he never imagined that the Qiao family was the richest.
This is just the private treasury of Mr. Qiao.
"Sister, which one should I choose?" Ye Ping'an asked in a low voice.
Ye Tang picked up a gold nugget at random.
"This is the most practical, choose this one."
Ye Ping'an's eyes lit up.
He is a martial artist, and there are many weapons in his small treasury. They look valuable, but he is not short of weapons. The weapons collected by his grandfather are much more than those of the Qiao family. He has whatever weapons he wants.
In comparison, gold nuggets are the best.
Ye Ping'an happily picked a big gold nugget.
Seeing how obsessed with money he was, the head of the Qiao family snorted with disdain.
Ye Tang and the other man returned to the front hall and showed the gold bars they had picked to Xiao Jingxuan and the others. The three of them didn't say anything, but seeing that the time was almost up, they took their money and retreated.
The head of the Qiao family saw them out and said, "Duke Protector of the Country, we have agreed not to tell the emperor about this."
Shangguan Zhenhua assured again and again: "Don't worry, since it has been settled privately, this Duke will not say anything nonsense."
It doesn't matter whether he says it or not. The emperor is not a fool. He has been keeping an eye on the Qiao family for the past two years. I'm afraid the emperor already knew about what happened today, so there's no need for him to say anything.
"What? The Qiao family is so bold that they dare to kidnap the grandson of the Duke of Huguo?" Emperor Yuanwu listened to the secret guard's report and his face suddenly darkened: "I am too lenient to the Qiao family, so that they are so lawless."
He found a memorial which stated that the Qiao family had colluded with the enemy country, smuggled salt, and transferred their property to the north wing.
Emperor Yuanwu narrowed his eyes dangerously and glanced at the bottom of the memorial: "The Qiao family is so arrogant because they have the Prime Minister as their backer."
Inside the memorial was a piece of letter paper, with the handwriting on it being Gao Yi's.
"Gao Yi, you disappoint me so much!"
It's time to wipe out these national parasites!
