82 Take advantage of the fire and go in
Shi Zhongkui felt very unhappy when he thought about the rumors that Xue Baochai finally married Jia Yucun.
Adding fuel to the fire again, he said, "He's not just paying attention to your Xue family's wealth, he might have already taken a liking to your sister, my unmarried daughter-in-law."
Xue Pan was startled, and then misunderstood why Shi Zhongkui disliked Jia Yucun, and this also explained why he knew what happened back then.
"What do you mean, brother?"
Shi Zhongkui waved his hand, "The most important thing now is to take care of your affairs first, and we'll talk about the rest after you come back from the south."
Xue Pan was not really stupid. After thinking about it, he realized that it would be easier to deal with Jia Yucun only after Shi Zhongkui became a Jinshi and became an official in the court.
"Brother," Xue Pan stepped forward with a smile and whispered, "I heard from my servants that the old man in Jiayu Village's first wife is deceased, and he seems to have straightened up a concubine recently.
But if you count the time, it seems that less than a year has passed."
Shi Zhongkui's eyes lit up. In ancient times, the first wife passed away, and according to ancient rituals, it would take a year before she could marry again.
Moreover, those who remarry can only be counted as step-wives, not as main wives, and cannot perform the rituals of main wives. In the genealogy, they can only be counted as concubines. Therefore, if Jia Yucun is confused about this matter, he will easily be caught.
"You should arrange for a reliable person to check it out. If you have any results, report them to me first."
"Understood," Xue Pan chuckled, and then muttered sadly, "Jia Yucun, you white-eyed wolf, wait for me.
If you sentence me to death, I will let you die as well."
Shi Zhongkui did not stop Xue Pan from wanting to kill Jia Yucun.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a clear stipulation that taking a maid as a wife should last for two years, and taking a concubine or a guest daughter as a wife should last for one and a half years.
The previous dynasty directly stipulated that concubines could not be righteous. In this dynasty, although everyone does not care, if they really use etiquette to attack you, the official will probably have to get out.
And since Jia Yucun lost his official position, it would not be easy for Xue Pan to kill him.
A few hundred taels of silver was enough to make Jia Yucun die inexplicably, and then just report him as dead of illness.
Shi Zhongkui even thought about taking over Jia Yucun and trying to beat Jia She.
If possible, appear in the Jia family as the savior again.
By then, we will definitely be able to get a lot of valuable antiques from Jia She, and also gain the gratitude of Jia Zheng and other members of the Jia family.
Even Jia Yingchun might be sent to the house by Jia She overnight and become his concubine.
To put it nicely, they are equal wives, but in ancient times there was no such term as equal wives. The two equal wives among the so-called three wives and four concubines were nothing more than concubines with a higher status.
But at least a common wife will not be given away.
While he was thinking about it, a noise suddenly reached his ears.
In the middle of the night, any sound can travel farther, not to mention the footsteps of dozens of fast horses and the clash of armor and weapons of many soldiers.
Shi Zhongkui understood that the Xiuyi Guards were arresting people overnight, and said to Xue Pan, who looked curious and frightened, "Don't worry, I'm definitely not here to arrest you."
Xue Pan thought about it and realized that this was really the case.
"Go and stand with Yu Shun at the base of the wall and stand on the ladder to see what's going on."
Xue Pan nodded hurriedly, and then asked worriedly, "Is it related to the Jia family?"
"Get out of here," Shi Zhongkui grabbed the copper paperweight on the desk angrily and threatened to hit it. Xue Pan was so frightened that he ran out of the study in three steps at a time.
Listening to Xue Pan's shouting outside the study, Shi Zhongkui knocked on the table.
The golden-haired mouse jumped down from the beam, knelt on the desk and reported, "Master, the mouse has moved one hundred taels of golden melons into your bedroom."
Shi Zhongkui nodded and put his mind on the space farm again. When he saw that the merit was still 1110, he felt relieved.
He had seen the gold coin column on the farm more than once before, and now after hearing the report from the Golden Mouse, he couldn't help but confirm that stealing only one hundred taels of gold, which was one thousand taels of silver, would not reduce his merits.
"Go and bring me back 9 hundred taels of golden melons, and take a look at the situation over there."
The golden-haired rat suddenly became embarrassed.
Calculated as 593 grams per pound, 1 hundred taels is 5.93 kilograms. This weight is insignificant to a golden-haired rat who is practicing Xiaocheng.
But when it came back carrying the pumpkin, it had to walk upright on both feet before carrying it back.
This suddenly became 9, so we had to move them back and forth nine times.
Shi Zhongkui didn't care about this. Unless he was sure that stealing the gold and silver from the group would not damage his own merit, he would lend the purple-gold and red gourd to the Golden Mouse.
Seeing Shi Zhongkui looking at him with a smile, the golden-haired mouse nodded and ran out.
Under the cover of darkness, the little mouse ran several times faster than a galloping horse. He even jumped along the eaves of various houses to take shortcuts, and soon arrived at the house used by the remnants of the former prince to hide their identities.
Seeing that there were already torches swaying inside the house, the outside of the house was illuminated by the torches in the hands of more than two hundred embroidered guards, as if it were a hundred days.
But it was still unable to attack. The golden-haired rat was moved in its heart, and simply ran to the wall and crawled into a mouse hole under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen people.
Then he ran to a servant's house and knocked over an oil lamp.
The flames started quickly because of the lamp oil.
Not to mention, the damned rat actually bit the feather duster, stuck some lamp oil and flames on it, and went around the house to prevent fires.
Soon the fire burned out of control, and people in the yard suddenly shouted to put out the fire.
The embroidered guards outside the yard followed the light of the fire and the unclear smoke, and instantly mistakenly thought that the people in the yard wanted to destroy the evidence.
A sharp voice yelled, "Come in. If our errand fails, we will kill Qianhu, Baihu and Xiaoqi before we die."
Under this order, no officer in the Xiuyi Guard dared not to fight tooth and nail.
After all, after he died in the line of duty, his nephew joined the Xiuyi Guards, at least as a trial for Baihu and Xiaoqi.
But if he is killed by the eunuch for disobeying military orders, the whole family will be exiled.
"kill."
With a roar, the scene was filled with the sounds of swords and flags being drawn, and the sound of encouragement from hundreds of households to boost their morale with promotions.
Immediately afterwards, he disobeyed the order and his whole family was executed.
If you fail to advance when encountering an enemy, you will be beheaded.
The sound of military orders to release the imperial prisoners and behead them.
Finally, the eunuch simply answered and shouted, "10 taels for killing one, 50 taels for catching one alive," which suddenly brought the morale of the show guards to its peak.
A series of sounds of "kill, kill, kill" made the remnants of the former prince in the courtyard of the town tremble with their hands holding knives and sticks.
Even the golden-haired rat that had already run into the underground warehouse was trembling with fear at the shouts of death.
Shi Zhongkui, who was sitting in the study, was ecstatically looking at the column of gold coins representing merit, which was beating at 111.
Although he didn't understand the reason, he guessed that if it weren't for him, the imperial court would have killed and captured the rebels.
Otherwise, for some reason, the constant beating of 11 could be regarded as saving lives one by one in disguise.
