The Daughter of the Agent of Rebirth

Chapter 383 Aunt and Concubine Sister Are Arrested (3)
Ouyang Rou was overjoyed: "What you said is true, you really didn't catch anyone."

Fang Er nodded sharply: "Yes, Second Miss, those ordinary people said so, and the slaves also came forward. When they came out, there was no one at all, and they obviously didn't catch anyone."

Aunt Hong and Ouyang Rou breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, it would be great if this was the case, it was a false alarm.

However, in the early morning of the next day, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly poured into the General's Mansion. At this time, Ouyang Zhide hadn't gone to court, but he rushed out to check the situation. When he saw the leader, he was also taken aback: "Captain Li ,what do you mean."

Captain Li's name is Li Guangnai and he is the captain of a city patrol team in the palace. His official position is very low, but because he often shows his face in front of the master in the palace, even high officials in the court will not offend such people casually.Seeing Ouyang Yue, Li Guang cupped his fists and said, "Forgive me, General Ouyang, yesterday we heard a report that someone sold something from the previous court without permission, so we sent people to arrest him, and now we have found your house."

Ouyang Zhide sighed: "Captain Li's official business is natural and convenient, but how did Captain Li find this person who sold the things of the previous dynasty, how did he find my general's mansion? I have nothing to do with Captain Li all these years I’m familiar with you but I’ve never offended you, Captain Li deliberately came here for me.”

However, Li Guang's face changed slightly, and he still said: "General Ouyang, please forgive me, I have no intention of going against General Ouyang's mansion, but yesterday I caught one person during the arrest, but she confessed to the mansion There are people involved."

"What, how could there be such a person in the General's Mansion." Officers and soldiers rushed into the mansion suddenly, and people from the various courtyards of the General's Mansion immediately came to check on the situation. As soon as Old Ning was helped out, he heard Li Guang's words , Immediately exclaimed, "This is impossible. How could these helpless women in the general's mansion participate in it? Did this lord arrest the wrong person?"

When Li Guang was questioned, he had a bad face. As soon as he waved his hand, two officers and soldiers came over with a man in messy clothes and covered in blood. Miserable, but apart from some redness and swelling on this man's face, there was no other injury. When the general's mansion saw the man's face, they gasped: "Cao'er." Ouyang Rou widened her eyes and screamed. She was still worried when Cao'er disappeared, but she was relieved when she heard that no one of the officers and soldiers had been caught. But in the end, Cao'er didn't come back. Seeing her being pulled over, Ouyang Rou's face flickered, her heart jumped, and she obviously looked scared.

Li Guang looked at Ouyang Rou, and said with a sneer: "So you know this woman, and it will be easy if you know her. This person said that she is the personal maid of the second lady of the general's mansion, and she was ordered by the second lady of the mansion to meet someone yesterday." Well, this jointer is the one we want to arrest. He is a tomb robber who participated in stealing the tomb of the former dynasty and sold it privately for huge profits. How could the family members of the general's mansion know such a heinous person, Ouyang General, please explain."

When the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty overthrew the previous dynasty, because of the strategic needs at that time, coupled with years of mutiny, the court's finances were very tight, but in contrast to them, the previous dynasty was very rich, the rich and oily kind, exactly Because they are rich and do not think about danger in peace, and their military strength is low, they were taken advantage of by the Great Zhou Dynasty.As soon as the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty came to the throne, it turned out that the previous dynasty was rich in money and money. In fact, the national treasury was not abundant, and the money that was greedy for entertainment in the past few years was also in short supply. This matter of money was a headache for the ancestor emperor.

But by chance, a governor found the tomb of a high-ranking official in the previous dynasty while hunting. He found that a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings were buried in the cemetery, and the level of wealth was not comparable to that of many high-ranking wealthy merchants in the Zhou Dynasty. Because of the large amount, he dared not take it privately and reported it to the court. The ancestor emperor of the Great Zhou had an idea because of this. If all the high-ranking officials and rich people of the previous dynasty, and even the royal tombs were dug up, wouldn’t it be possible to solve the crisis of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Anyway, These are things that come for nothing, and the ancestors of the previous dynasty have passed away. The so-called winners and losers belong to him.

At that time, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty ordered the opening of the tombs to fetch treasures, and destroyed more than ten large tombs and confiscated a lot of property, but it may have violated some taboos to do so. The ancestor emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was seriously ill soon and abdicated early. He died shortly thereafter.

Although many people speculate that the Emperor of the Great Zhou was punished for his wickedness and disrespect to his ancestors, but the common people did not know about this kind of thing, and only some important officials in the court knew about it. We must try our best to keep this secret.Externally, in the name of respecting the royal family of the former dynasty, they sent people to guard the tombs of the former dynasty whenever they found them, and secretly acted secretly.Even if the ancestor emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is dead, who would want this free thing? Even if there is retribution, one cannot resist the temptation of money.

Now the country of Great Zhou is rich and the people are strong, but if this becomes a habit, it will not change.Until now, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty sent people to find the tombs of the previous dynasty from time to time, but now they did not directly dig out the treasures, but only controlled them as the property of the Great Zhou Dynasty, just in case.Under such circumstances, common people's tomb robbing was absolutely not allowed in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Wouldn't it be the only way to die if they robbed the royal family?There is a well-known article in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which stipulates that if one of the people's tombs is found out, they will be punished with heavy punishment for theft. First, their hands and legs will be cut off, and then their heads will be beheaded.The common people didn't know it, and felt that the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was benevolent and righteous in handling this matter. Although it overthrew the previous dynasty, being so friendly to the ancestors of the previous dynasty also played a great role in regaining the hearts of the people at that time.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, five tomb robbery cases were punished one after another, and each case was investigated and dealt with according to the severe punishment. No matter how difficult it was for the Great Zhou Dynasty to find someone who dared to rob the tomb privately, he has been a little slack lately, and some opportunistic tricks have emerged man of.But once this matter is found out, it will be dealt with severely. Those big and small foxes who are living in the court are strictly forbidden to participate in this tomb robbery, because it is just captured and killed among the people. , but it is a different situation in the court. It is very likely that he will be detained for private property, disloyal to the court, have a wrong heart, and even commit the crime of treason and injustice.

Ouyang Zhide's complexion changed, but old Ning said sharply: "No, no, how could the General's House get involved in these things? There must be a misunderstanding."

Li Guang laughed and said, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, it's not up to you. You, talk."

After Cao'er was arrested yesterday, she began to torture her severely. She was with Ouyang Rou on weekdays, and she couldn't say that her life was very good, but to put it bluntly, she was even better than the young lady from a small family. The ones with thin skin and tender flesh can't stop beating up, and it didn't take long before they recruited everything: "Yes... it was Miss who asked me to join those tomb robbers, and Miss and Auntie also participated. Miss, Auntie and them partner."
