After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Qiao Dongliang was just about to go in to see if the second brother was dead, but when he heard the housekeeper's words, he couldn't help but raise his voice, "What's wrong now?"

"Yes, it's Steward Chen from Yong'an Marquis's Mansion."

Before the housekeeper could finish his words, Qiao Dongliang asked anxiously, "But is Prince Jiang looking for me?"

"I don't know about this, but Manager Chen brought a lot of people with him. They look aggressive and I'm afraid they are here to cause trouble."

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "They are in the front yard. Please go and have a look."

Qiao Dongliang tilted his head to look at the house behind him and told the housekeeper, "Go and see if the second young master is still alive."

After saying that, he hurried to the front yard.

As soon as he saw Manager Chen, Qiao Dongliang smiled and asked flatteringly, "Manager Chen, why are you here at this hour? Does Prince Jiang have something to ask me?"

"Master Qiao, my prince has nothing to do with you, but my marquis has something to do with you."

"Marquis Yong'an is looking for me?"

Qiao Dongliang's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the burly guards in the yard and the hemp rope in the hand of one of them, and subconsciously took a step back.

There was a slight tremor in his voice. "I wonder if the Marquis of Yong'an wants to see me for some important matter?"

"You didn't know what good things you did?"

Manager Chen's heart was still aching. He glanced at him coldly with a gloomy face, then waved his hand, "Tie him up!"

"Manager Chen, Manager Chen, please talk nicely if you have something to say!"

Two guards stepped forward and pulled him over by the collar as if he were a chicken. The guard holding the hemp rope tied him up in no time.

When Mrs. Qiao got the news, she hurried over with her maid. She was shocked to see Qiao Dongliang tied up and gagged.

"Our master is an official appointed by the imperial court. What are you doing?! Let our master go!"

Manager Chen was being escorted. He shook his head desperately towards Qu, making a "wuwuwu" sound.

"Huh, an official appointed by the imperial court?"

Manager Chen snorted disdainfully, "He dared to instigate my prince to cause trouble for the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. I think his official hat is over!"

He was not there when that bastard went there. If he had been there, he would definitely not have let the prince fall for his trick.

Now, I have implicated myself for no reason!

"It wasn't my master who instigated this, it was Bai Yaoyao, it was Bai Yaoyao who instigated this!"

Qu immediately exposed Bai Yaoyao. She stepped forward and grabbed Manager Chen's sleeve, crying and begging, "Tell your master that this matter was all Bai Yaoyao's fault. The evidence was also found by her. It has nothing to do with our master!"

"Humph, my Lord will find out the truth, and none of you will be able to escape!"

Manager Chen pushed Qu away and brushed the places she touched with disgust.

"take away!"

He waved his hand, and the guards took Qiao Dongliang to a shabby carriage and headed straight for the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Marquis Yong'an sat on the main seat in the hall with a gloomy expression.

Qiao Dongliang was tied up, kneeling on the ground and trembling, "My Lord, My Lord..."

"Someone, call me!"

At the command of Marquis Yong'an, the guard holding the whip beside him swung the brown whip with a "snap" sound, making a terrifying loud noise.

"Marquis Yong'an, spare my life! Ah!!!"

The guards spared no effort, whipping him on the back with one lash after another.

"what!!!!"

Qiao Dongliang fell to the ground, screaming miserably.

When Qiao Dongliang was beaten to death, Marquis Yong'an waved his hand.

"Who gave you the courage to use my son as a pawn?" Yong'an Hou suddenly slammed his palm on the table and roared: "Speak!"

Qiao Dongliang was so frightened that he shrank back and said tremblingly, "It's my niece, Bai, Bai Yaoyao."

He did not dare to hide anything and told Bai Yaoyao's plan in detail, "She was the one who got the contract. She was also the one who said that Master Jiang and Bai Youyou had a grudge and asked me to find Master Jiang."

"Bai Yaoyao?"

Marquis Yong'an laughed angrily.

The little girl who looked weak and unable to take care of herself actually had such a plan.

"Who forged that deed?"

Marquis Yong'an was very curious about the contract that even the parties involved could not verify.

If we could recruit someone with this skill, wouldn't it be easy for us to create something out of nothing in the future?

"I don't know. If you want to know, you can ask my niece Bai Yaoyao."

Qiao Dongliang's face was pale and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

He really didn't know, and he asked Bai Yaoyao at the time. Bai Yaoyao just said that he asked a wandering wanderer to make a forgery.

Yong'an Hou sat on the chair and looked at him with contempt, "Go to Jingzhao Prefecture tomorrow to withdraw the case. In addition, all the consequences of this matter will be borne by you alone."

Qiao Dongliang stared with a panic-stricken look on his face.

Yong'an Marquis sneered, "If you dare to pretend to obey but secretly disobey, you should know my methods!"

This idiot was taken advantage of by his own niece and he didn't even realize it.

But that little girl dared to plot against his son. Did she really think that she could do whatever she wanted with the support of the prince?

"Throw him back!"

There is no need for him to take any action, the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will punish him.

The sun is shining brightly, and the warm spring sunshine makes people drowsy.

Bai Youyou finally came out of the dark and damp prison. She stood in the courtyard and raised her hands to cover her eyebrows.

"Miss Bai, the master is waiting for you in the court."

Captain Liu stood aside and urged with a smile: "After the court is dismissed today, you can go back now."

Bai Youyou showed a row of small white teeth and followed him to the court.

Qiao Dongliang looked depressed, unlike the proud and arrogant he had that day. He lowered his head slightly and bowed his hands to Xu Lingyun, "Master Xu, I am here to withdraw the case today."

Xu Lingyun was wearing a maroon official uniform and a black gauze hat. The corners of his lips were pulled down, and his face looked stern.

"Master Qiao, I'm afraid you can't withdraw from this case today."

"Master Xu, what do you mean by this?"

Qiao Dongliang's heart suddenly sank, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

Xu Lingyun glanced at him calmly and raised his chin, "Bring the person up."

Captain Liu came in with an old woman, a young woman and a young child.

When Manager Ying saw them, he stood up excitedly, hugged the young child in his arms, and cried, "Shuheng!"

"grandfather!"

There were sobs and cries in the court.

Manager Ying looked behind them and saw that his daughter was not there. He asked in a trembling voice, "Where is Jingyao?"

The old woman was still sobbing quietly, but upon hearing this, she suddenly burst into tears, "Jingyao, Jingyao was abused to death by those beasts!!"

The old woman's words frightened Qiao Dongliang so much that he was almost out of his wits. He stood there in a daze, his pale and bloodless lips slightly open.

Someone died?!
