Whether it is the Great Qi, or the previous Great Zhou, or a dynasty older than the Great Zhou, robbing tombs and digging graves is a major crime!

The laws of the previous dynasty stipulated: "Those who send graves will be punished, and those who steal will be punished." This ruling office is also in charge. "Enforcement is very strict. In the past, there was a special "law on piracy" that stipulated that "stealing graves" should be punished with the same crimes as wounding and maiming, blackmail, homicide, and human trafficking.

Daqi has strict and meticulous laws, and there are different punishments for all kinds of tomb theft. the light sentence is hard labor, and exile to the frontier wilderness; If any of the coffins of the tombs have been opened, they shall be hanged. From exile to hanging, there are different punishments according to the number and value of different artifacts stolen from tombs. The so-called "severity of the punishment is different".

From the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Great Qi Dynasty, grave digging has always been regarded as a "great unforgivable" crime, along with the felonies of "ten heinous disobedience, official crimes, intentional homicide, joint poisoning, robbery with war" and "rebellion". Moreover, the government below cannot adjudicate, and must be reported to the central agency before sentencing and conviction.

In other words, even if the emperor gives amnesty to the world, the act of robbing tombs cannot be pardoned.

The severity of the criminal law is secondary, the key is that as soon as this kind of reputation spreads, the whole family will be disgraced, and it will be no different from being spurned by the good people.

If a married woman is implicated in this reputation, it is certain that she will be repudiated. Otherwise, the woman's husband's family will be discredited and looked down upon again.

Of course, tomb robbing is a job that requires both physical strength and skill. Ordinary women can't do it, so the reputation of women robbing tombs is mostly related to the sale of stolen tomb goods, not to dig graves in person. Just as a woman is also convicted of rape, it is generally not a woman who rapes a man, but a woman who collaborates to do evil and helps a man rape another woman, which is also punished as rape. - But then again, there are some women from tomb robber families who are naturally gifted and powerful. It is not known that he can rob the grave and dig the grave himself.

Mu Yelai suddenly put forward the words "tomb robbery and grave digging". Suddenly everyone in the room was silent.

"I dare to vouch for it with my neck! - Mrs. Zhu Guohou must have nothing to do with this matter...... Yes! ”

This time, before Mu Yelai finished speaking, Xiao Shiji's figure was as fast as a ghost, and he had already rushed to the house from the door in front of Mu Yelai. An arm is long. Grabbed her delicate and slender neck.

The strength of Xiao Shi and his fingers was extraordinarily strong. As soon as he grabbed it, Mu Yelai immediately felt as if a hot iron had been applied to his throat, and he couldn't make a sound. I couldn't even breathe. The fair-skinned face immediately turned purple, with a small mouth like a flower, making a lotus sound, a pair of hands involuntarily waving at her side, but she didn't dare to let go of Xiao Shihe's big hand that grabbed her neck, and a pair of eyes looked at Xiao Shiji with sadness, as if there were thousands of words that could not be spoken.

Looking at the somewhat familiar eyes, Xiao Shiji was stunned, and the strength in his hand involuntarily lightened.

Du Hengshuang walked over, put his hand on it, picked off Xiao Shiji's fingers one finger at a time, and said lightly: "You're about to strangle her." ”

Xiao Shiji let go of his hand, held Du Hengshuang's hand with his backhand, and said coldly: "She is talking nonsense, she deserves death!" ”

Mu Yelai covered his mouth, coughed softly, slowly bent down and sat on the ground, and said with a miserable laugh: "In short, no matter what I say, you don't believe it." Whatever I do, it's my fault......" he said, tears streaming down his face.

Xiao Shiji was very tired in his heart, but because of so many people present, he couldn't bother with her anymore, so he had to don't look over his head and not look at Mu Yelai.

Du Hengshuang frowned almost invisibly, but swallowed the words that came to his mouth again. - At this time, it is not the time to be angry with Mu Yelai. Besides, when is she worth her anger......

Du Hengshuang no longer paid attention to Mu Yelai, turned to look at the sweaty and pale shopkeeper, pointed to the masked woman in a bearded suit, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is she?" Who let her in? ”

This is a guest house, and ordinary guests are not allowed to enter.

The shopkeeper's waist was bent like a shrimp, and while wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, he looked at the guy who led people in next to him.

The guy was still young, and he didn't know how powerful the masked woman in the bearded dress said just now, so he just scratched his head and said, "She came in with An Guogong and Zhu Langzhong." The little one saw that An Guogong was very familiar with her...... "Of course it's a distinguished guest, how can you not let her in?"

Du Hengshuang glanced at An Zichang, but saw that the expression on An Zichang's face was very complicated, and he felt a little strange in his heart.

Zhu Susu hurriedly said: "Hey! Don't talk nonsense! We don't know her well! ”

"Why is it unfamiliar? The little one obviously saw An Guogong talking to her face to face outside! The guy was in a hurry, and when he looked at the shopkeeper and saw that his eyes were very unkind, his heart began to drum.

"Talking face-to-face is familiar? - I'm still talking to you face to face, do you know me well? Zhu Susu said politely, and wanted to step on An Zichang's "old friend" and fall into the ground. Besides, she said that it was a nobleman's funeral gift like this, which might bring big trouble to Du Hengshuang.

The guy was so open and speechless by Zhu Susu's question, his legs were weak, and he knelt down for Du Hengshuang with a plop, and kowtowed again and again: "The owner, the owner, the little one really doesn't know what to do...... There are eighty-year-old mothers and three-year-old children in the small family, and they all rely on the villain to support the family! "I was already crying as I spoke.

Du Hengshuang sighed and couldn't bear to say, "You get up." This time, if you are a first-time offender, you will be fined a month's worth of silver. Don't do this in the future, next time you do it, you won't be left here. ”

The guy was so grateful that he kowtowed to Du Hengshuang twice, and then got up and swore: "The little one will never do it again!" If there is a next time, the little one will gouge out his two eyes......"

Zhu Susu trembled when he heard this.

Du Hengshuang smiled and said, "What do I want your eyes to do?" - You are good at yourself. As he spoke, he looked at An Zichang and said, "An Guogong, this little lady has an old relationship with An Guogong?" ”

Zhu Susu heard this sentence and said to her that "old looks good" has the same effect. couldn't help but quietly give Du Hengshuang a thumbs up.

Xiao Shiji heard the black lines all over his head, and the bones in his hands creaked, and he didn't understand why Du Hengshuang was asking these irrelevant things here! ——If that bead is really related to the tombs of the nobles of the previous dynasty, not only the Streamer Pavilion, I'm afraid Du Hengshuang will be in big trouble......

This trouble will even be bigger than her shooting Cui Saburo's arm.

An Zichang silently glanced at Du Hengshuang's eyes that looked like Princess Chaoyun, lowered his head to look at the green intarsia floor tiles at his feet, and after a long time, he shook his head and said, "No." I don't know her. When I was out before. She fired arrows indiscriminately. I almost shot Susu, so I went over and scolded her. I don't know how she came in with us. - Uncooked, not cooked at all. When he said this, his eyes avoided Du Hengshuang's eyes.

Du Hengshuang's heart moved. An Zi often looks like this. It's not like I'm not familiar with that woman at all. - There is a hidden secret. These two people have a secret......

Du Hengshuang's eyes flew to Zhu Susu's side.

Zhu Susu nodded at her. made a gesture.

Du Hengshuang suddenly made up his mind. He looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Tell me, where did this bead come from?" ”

Once again, the shopkeeper was sweating like rain.

Those who do jewelry business know the way. There are two sources of good jewelry, one is to recruit ingenious craftsmen by themselves. It is made by self-production and work. They also have two experts in this area at present, but they are far from being able to make such exquisite and luxurious Xiang Zhu. Another source is pawnshops.

Those who open jewelry shops generally open pawnshops at the same time.

As we all know, one of the people who can make money from war and chaos is to rebel, and the other is to open a pawnshop.

Especially in the era when Daqi had just experienced war and separation, pawnshops could receive a lot of good things......

As for where those people got these good things, no one ever asked, and no one asked. - Even if it is a thief, as long as the pawnshop owner does not know the source of the goods, it cannot be regarded as a sale. It is the person who sells the stolen goods as a pawn, not the pawnshop that receives the goods. Of course, if the pawn is worth a lot of money, the pawnshop will also have the "same crime" of selling the stolen goods. Whether it can be punished depends on whether the backstage of the pawnshop is hard or not.

The pawnshop is generally "every time you respond", one hand to pay, the other hand to deliver, is the criterion of being a pawnshop. Whatever someone takes, whatever it is, have to put a price on it.

The person in charge of appraising and valuing the pawn in the pawnshop is the courtier. The status of the court in the pawnshop is second only to the chief manager, and the salary is also the most generous. Because pawnshops are all "every time they are done", the important position of the pilgrimage can be imagined. Because he must know what the guest takes as a treat.

Large pawnshops generally employ a number of worshippers, each of whom has his own mastery. For example, some people are proficient in leather goods, some are proficient in jewelry, some are proficient in gold and silver ware, and some are proficient in furniture. The higher the vision, the higher the reward. This kind of worship is a figure of the Bodhisattva in each pawnshop.

Because of this, not every pawnshop can find a pilgrimage who is proficient in all pawn goods. For example, in the pawnshop, antique calligraphy and painting are generally not accepted, because it is too easy to fake too many antique calligraphy and paintings, and it is really rare to be proficient in antique calligraphy and painting, and it is more difficult than finding a military genius under the emperor's majesty. There are also smaller pawnshops, and they don't even dare to accept gold and silver jewelry, because they can't estimate the proper value.

And Du Hengshuang's pawnshop is also one of the best shops in Chang'an City, in addition to calligraphy and painting, antique utensils and gold and silver jewelry are accepted. It is one of the few pawnshops in Chang'an City that can do big business.

If something is sent to the pawnshop, if it is not redeemed when it expires, it is dead, and this thing is the pawnshop's, and it can be disposed of by the pawnshop.

Generally, good jewelry will naturally be transferred to jewelry shops and then sold.

These are the customary rules of the pawnshop, and they are also tacit business experiences that everyone knows, but how can they say it to the noble lady in this house?

Du Hengshuang saw that the shopkeeper was in a cold sweat, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and his heart sank, but he still asked: "Isn't this kind of thing purchased from the Western Regions?" She remembered that when she asked Streamer Pavilion to send jewelry to Zhu Susu to choose, she once asked, where did these things come from? And the one who sent it said that it came from Persia......

Now that I think about it, the man who said "from Persia" was really a bit of a coincidence. I don't know if he knows the Dao, or if he doesn't know the true origin of the bead.

The masked woman in the bearded suit sneered when she heard this. ——Can such a delicate and luxurious neck-necked bead be purchased from the Western Regions casually? Holding mountains of gold and silver, people may not pay attention to you in the past. This is obviously the masterpiece of the master craftsmen enshrined in the Persian royal family, and even the Persian royal family is a precious bead!

Take the silver and buy it on the street? Do you think that such things are everywhere in the Western Regions?!

She opened her mouth and wanted to taunt Du Hengshuang for a few words, but she saw two cold eyes shooting at her from left to right. One is from An Zichang, and the other is from the Marquis of Nazhu......

The masked woman in the bearded suit crossed her arms, snorted softly, shut up, and did not continue to add oil and vinegar.

The palace maid beside Princess Qianjin saw Mu Yelai sitting on the ground alone, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mu Yelai get up from the ground, and asked her in a low voice, "Miss Mu San, are you hurt?" ”
