Chapter 4: Tomb Robbery in the Past
Gentle Township is a hero's mound, not to mention that today's Ximenqing is just an ordinary sophomore in later generations, and he fell into this fat powder battle all of a sudden, how could he withdraw immediately.
On the second day, all morning, Ximen Qing nested in Wu Yueniang's room, and the eldest woman who had been neglected for three years was in the cold. And Wu Yueniang, who regained her husband's favor, also let go of her usual reserve and devoted herself to flattery. The husband and wife are naturally Qin Se and Ming, so unhappy.
"Big official, there has been a word from Ermen Waiwang, the thief of Nangangzi was caught a few days ago, and he is sending it to the Yamen now!"
It was almost noon, and Pang Chunmei, the maid in the room, shouted outside.
"The thief who killed a thousand knives is caught, it's really blessed by the Buddha!"
In the bedroom, Wu Yueniang clasped her hands together and kept shaking.
Originally, this Nangangzi is located in a small hill outside the west of Yanggu County, facing the mountains and waters, and it is a treasure land of feng shui.
Just half a month ago, a tomb robber dug up four of the tombs in one night, and the gold and silver utensils and valuables in the tombs were all scavenged, which can be regarded as causing an uproar in Yanggu County. As a representative of the squires of Yanggu County, Ximenqing also went to the county government with other squires to exert pressure, and this case naturally became a problem for the county magistrate, urging the three classes of officials to solve the case every day.
Speaking of which, at that time, it happened that Wu Song escorted the goods to Beijing for the county minister, but he also escaped a catastrophe.
In his previous life, he read a lot of tomb robbery novels on the Internet, but the real tomb robbers had never seen them, Ximenqing couldn't help but be curious, and called Pang Chunmei outside the window to help the couple dress neatly.
Speaking of which, the men's clothing in the Northern Song Dynasty, the common people would not be as wide as the ancient times with wide robes and big sleeves, but the accessories on the body were quite complicated. And the most troublesome thing is that the ancients kept long hair for both men and women, and for a gentry with a certain social status like Ximenqing, he couldn't be as casual as the poor people, and he needed to have a maid to take care of him, otherwise he would make people laugh when he went out.
As for the women's clothing, it made Ximenqing breathtaking, with a jacket and skirt, and a pair of open crotch pants inside. When he went to the street yesterday, Ximenqing also saw other women on the road wearing trousers, all of which were crotch pants.
Could it be that the woman in the house is dressed like this to facilitate her male master? Is this girl's skirt also spring/boundless?
Thinking in his heart, Ximenqing couldn't help but glance at Pang Chunmei's crotch, which caused the expressions of the two women in the room to be quite strange at this moment.
If it was Ximenqing in the past, he couldn't say that he had already stretched out his hand at this time, but now this one is embarrassed to ask more, so he just sneaked a few glances.
When the husband and wife cleaned up and Pang Chunmei went to the outer room, Wu Yueniang couldn't help but sneer: "No wonder there is the word stealing jade and stealing incense in the book, but she is just a maid, if the official really likes it, you can accept it, how can I need this, I am not jealous." ”
I have to say that in the Northern Song Dynasty, although the costumes were not as bold and bright as the Tang Dynasty, for the upper class of society represented by the royal family and scholars, it was even more absurd in the affairs of men and women. Don't mention the Daojun Emperor who likes Fengyue and favors Li Shishi, even if he leaves the eternal quatrain of "ten years of life and death", he has been a constant rhyme all his life, and Liang Shicheng, the "hidden phase" of the dynasty, is said to be the bloodline born to Mr. Dongpo's concubine.
It is precisely because the whole social atmosphere is like this, Wu Yueniang, as a housewife, does not feel any discomfort about her husband's behavior, in her eyes, as long as Ximenqing has her position as a wife in her heart, even if it is "widely accumulating beauty".
For his wife's "open-mindedness", Ximen Qing could only smile bitterly, and by going to the yamen to see the thief's origin, he left the backyard in three steps and two steps, until he reached the middle gate of the front yard, only to see Laiwang alone by the door.
"Hello officials!"
Ximen Qing and Laiwang walked through the front yard atrium, and as soon as they left the main gate of the mansion, more than a dozen strong men with big shoulders and round waists poured up from across the street, hugged the two of them, and said hello one by one.
Ximenqing only knew two of them who accompanied him to Cuiyunlou last night, one was called Luhua the snake in the grass, and the other was called Zhang Sheng, a street rat, who were all famous gangsters in the city, because they could use some guns and sticks, so they were caught by Ximenqing, and as for the rest of the people, they were also almost gangsters in the market, and they acted as thugs of the Ximen family on weekdays.
Seeing such a scene, how could Ximenqing not know that these guys in front of him were all the doglegs of his predecessor, and he couldn't say how many evil things he had done. However, "when he first arrived", he couldn't change his tune immediately, so people could see the flaws, so he ordered the housekeeper who was guarding the door railing to take the usual money and distribute it to everyone, so that they could find a place to eat, drink and have fun, and he took Laiwang to the direction of the county government.
This consistent money, according to Ximenqing's estimation in his heart when he was in Cuiyun Building yesterday, is almost equal to three hundred yuan in later generations, for these shabby settlements in the lower floors, it is enough to find a place to toss for a day, but there is no need to worry about them making any trouble.
Thinking about it like this, the Chao Gai gang who have already gone to Liangshan has really made a fortune, a wealth of 100,000 yuan, which is roughly equal to 30 million, and the bank robbery in later generations is not such a large amount, which is indeed amazing.
When Ximenqing wandered all the way to the Yamen, the magistrate had already left the court, and the people who gathered at the Yamen to watch the excitement had also dispersed, but a fair-skinned Luo Dixiu in his forties stopped Ximenqing.
"The big officials also came to see the tomb robber?"
"Wang Zhusi, can the thief know the county minister's interrogation?"
"The confession of the thief embryo is here, please see it!"
This Luo Di Xiucai's surname is Wang, and he is a charge in the county government, but he is in the same business as Song Jiang, but he is just a classless and classless job in the yamen, which is equivalent to a temporary government worker without any establishment in later generations. Such a character is naturally extremely welcoming to Ximenqing, a "nobleman" who can talk to the county or even the prefect.
Ximenqing smiled and took a confession from the other party's hand, but he didn't want to look up and mark the name of the criminal.
"Time has changed!"
"That thief embryo also has a nickname called 'Drum Flea', and he is a habitual thief who walks thousands of houses at night."
Wang Zhisi was making fun on the side, but he didn't want Ximenqing to have the river and sea in his mind at this time.
