Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Chapter 124 Blackmail

As soon as Wang Junjie was taken out of the courtyard, the servants who got the news from the gatehouse also rushed over.

"Let my young master go, or don't blame us for being rude to you."

The servant shouted, "Do you know that our master is the cousin of the Imperial Concubine? The Imperial Concubine loves our young master the most."

The Wang family has always been proud of being related to the imperial concubine and often uses the imperial concubine's name to intimidate others.

Normally, people who were frightened would give the Wang family some face after hearing this, but today this was ineffective.

Lou Xin didn't stop and pushed people forward.

Only then did Wang Junjie realize that the people who arrested him were not his father's men, but people from outside the mansion.

He hurriedly shouted, "Quick, capture him, save this young master."

The few people sent by Lou Xin to find Tao Xin also found her and were bringing her here to meet Lou Xin.

Qiao Xi was thoughtful and asked Lou Xin to bring two skilled maids along.

At this moment, Tao Xin was being supported by the two maids, and it looked like her foot was injured.

There was a clever concubine who, when she saw Tao Xin being brought out, guessed that this person who suddenly appeared was here for the Zhou family's affairs.

Moreover, these people dared to break into Wang's house and arrest people, so their identities must be good.

The concubine rolled her eyes, and hurriedly went with her maid along the path to report the news to Old Lady Wang and Madam Wang respectively.

Old Lady Wang first got the news from the servants. When she heard that the Zhou couple had brought people into the mansion, she hurriedly had someone help them walk to the front yard.

She wanted to see who dared to be so rampant in her Wang family.

When he met the concubine who came to report the news on the way, he heard from her that Wang Junjie had been kidnapped.

Her old face was suddenly filled with anger. "Come here, take down those thieves and show them that our Wang family is not something that anyone can bully."

Old Lady Wang was a concubine who rose to power, and was promoted to the position of wife after the original wife's death by becoming pregnant.

She was not a smart person to begin with, and Wang Junjie was her sweetheart. When she learned that her grandson was arrested, she had no reason to think about the concubine's reminder.

He rushed to the front yard angrily and saw Wang Junjie being carried like a piglet by Lou Xinti.

It was still a blindfolded piglet, kicking its legs around in fear.

She immediately pushed away the maidservant who was supporting her and rushed to Lou Xin angrily, "Where did these bandits come from to cause chaos in my palace?

Hurry up and release my grandson, or I will report you to the Imperial Concubine and make sure you are in big trouble."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a cold female voice say, "Then sue me. I also want to know whose influence your Wang family relied on to abduct this commoner."

"who are you?"

Old Madam Wang glared at Qiao Xi angrily.

He saw that she was very young, dressed in plain clothes, and had a face he had never seen before.

Thanks to the imperial concubine, she had the honor of attending a palace banquet and had met almost all the nobles in the capital, except this one.

However, none of His Majesty's princes have married yet.

As for the second prince who had just returned, he married the sickly Princess Chaoyang.

Although the person in front of her was thin, he had a rosy complexion. She didn't think of Qiao Xi at all and just thought she had misheard.

Without waiting for Qiao Xi to answer, she continued, "Where are you from, little whore? How dare you slander my Wang family so casually? My Wang family..."

"presumptuous."

Seeing that she dared to scold Qiao Xi like that, Bei Qiao was afraid that she would say something unpleasant again, so she hurriedly said, "My master is the Princess of Jiangbei."

Old Madam Wang paused.

I didn't expect that she was actually the Princess of Northern Xinjiang.

The servants in the mansion told her what happened outside the city gate yesterday as a funny story. She had lived in the rear palace all her life and felt that she had seen through the emperor's way of dealing with Su Heting.

Praise and kill.

Just like how she treated the concubines in the palace before, the emperor was not sincere to the King of Jiangbei at all.

Moreover, the King of Jiangbei was short-lived, and the Imperial Concubine's son, the Third Prince, was the most likely person to inherit the throne.

As for what Su Heting did in the palace last night, although Chen Shan received Su Heting's instructions, there were many things going on in the mansion and he had not had time to spread the news.

Old Lady Wang felt that the Princess of Northern Xinjiang was not that scary, but because of the difference in status, she still had to observe the proper etiquette.

But Qiao Xi had her grandson kidnapped, and she was unwilling to accept it. She didn't want to do this ceremony either. With a twist of her slanted eyes, she became furious and said, "You little whore, how dare you pretend to be the Princess of Jiangbei? Everyone in the world knows that the Princess of Jiangbei is in poor health and has been recuperating in the deep palace for many years.

"Having received personal instruction from His Majesty, how could I possibly do such a despicable thing as trespassing into another's residence?"

She suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Qiao Xi's face. "You must be the actors and thugs hired by the Zhou family. Come on, capture them and beat them to death."

She thought that the Princess of Xinjiang North came in person to support the Zhou family.

And since Wang Junjie was caught red-handed pretending to be sick, the affairs of the Zhou brothers and sisters could not withstand investigation.

Maybe her grandson would have to be implicated at that time, so she could only deny Qiao Xi's identity and then use her seniority to capture Qiao Xi, the leader, and force them to release her grandson first.

After her grandson is free, she will harden her heart and let herself get hurt a little, blaming it on Qiao Xi.

By then, even if her identity as the Princess of Xinjiang North was proven, she would not be afraid.

The Princess of Jiangbei could not barge into their royal family and injure an old woman like her.

As long as the fault of the Princess of Jiangbei is exposed, there will be a way to deal with the Zhou family's affairs.

But her plan went wrong. Before she could get close to Qiao Xi, she was steadily lifted up horizontally by four servants.

Qiao Xi said calmly, "Old Madam, please lie down firmly. Don't blame me if you fall down. I won't tolerate it."

She turned to the outside of the screen wall and said, "I'd also like to trouble you all to bear witness for me."

Behind the screen wall, a group of people popped their heads out, and someone echoed, "Yes, we saw it clearly. It was Old Man Wang who insulted the Princess of Jiangbei first, and then hit her. Only then did the Jiangbei Palace carry the person up."

These people all followed Qiao Xi to watch the fun, and among them, naturally, there were servants from the King of Jiangbei's Palace who took the lead in inciting them.

This kind of trick had been used once before against Ji Yao, and they were now very familiar with it.

Qiao Xi nodded in thanks, then looked at Tao Xin, who was already being supported by her parents, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

When Tao Xin was rescued, she was reminded by her maid that she knew the reason behind Qiao Xi's question and cried, "They captured me yesterday and wanted to use me for a wedding.

When I refused, they broke my legs and locked me in the woodshed, saying they wanted to wear me down.

Fortunately, the princess rescued me in time. I would like to thank the princess for saving my life."

The implication is that she is still an innocent woman and has not been contaminated by Wang Junjie.

She understood what these words meant to her future life, and after saying them, she was about to kneel down.

Qiao Xi tried to stop her, "Why are you so distant? Your grandmother and my Qiao family have a long history. Since you call me sister, you are my sister, Qiao Xi. As a sister, I can't bear to see you being bullied."

The emperor brought Su Heting back to the capital in a high-profile manner. It was understandable that the Zhou couple knew about it and came to him for help.

Having died once, Qiao Xi had her own keen sense and she felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

There are not many people in this world who can move her, and Granny Jinhua is one of them.

As soon as she arrived in the capital, Jinhua Po Po's son and daughter-in-law came to visit her.

When she came to the Wang family today, she saw that the Wang family kept talking about the imperial concubine, and Old Lady Wang even dared to attack her, which made her realize that something was wrong.

She had been in the secret factory for many years and was somewhat familiar with the factions of officials in the capital. As far as she knew, the imperial concubine and the third prince did not value the Wang family that much.

So what makes the Wang family feel that they have something to rely on?

She thought about the murder of the Qiao family. She had not yet found out who murdered the Qiao family on behalf of the emperor...

Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and ordered, "Take Old Madam Wang and Young Master Wang with you, and let's go to the Dali Temple to report the case."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Wang was furious. "You've gone too far, trespassing into my Wang family..."

"I was forced to marry into the Wang family due to concerns about my sister's safety. I will surrender myself to the Dali Temple."

Qiao Xi interrupted her.

According to Dayou law, breaking into an official's residence is a crime of illegal entry into a residence and is punishable by flogging.

However, since it was a trap set against her, she had to fall into it, otherwise there would be other traps waiting for her. It was better to make a big fuss. As for who would receive the flogging later, it was not certain.
