Chapter 3 Dowry

Gao Shaoyi ran all the way and arrived at General Fenwu's Mansion as quickly as possible.

"In front of the General's Mansion, according to the imperial decree, all civil and military officials below the third rank must dismount."

Before Gao Shaoyi could say anything, several guards from the General's Mansion ran out first.

Gao Shaoyi is the uncle of the General's Mansion, and he is considered a noble relative of the General's Mansion. These guys all recognized him, but they didn't have the proper etiquette, and instead deliberately made things difficult for him.

Firstly, it was because Gao Shaoyi was incompetent and was a joke to the entire aristocratic circle in the capital.

Secondly, it is also because Li Mingshan has divorced his wife and is about to marry the sister of Mr. Ryoji Otomo, Minister of Dongdi. You, as an uncle, do not count anymore.

With a bang, the horse whip was whipped, and a red mark appeared on the speaker's face.

"How outrageous. My Marquis is an Imperial Marquis, and the current Holy Emperor is my Marquis's uncle. Even a first-class official will kneel down when he sees it. Who do you think you are? Are you seeking death?"

Gao Shaoyi glanced at them, and Wang Wu hit them with a whip. Looking at their burly looks, the guards who were beaten did not dare to say anything. The other guards also came to pay homage to the Marquis.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Gao Shaoyi is a joke in the aristocratic circle, he is definitely not someone ordinary guards like them can provoke.

It's just that Gao Shaoyi is not so angry usually. What happened today? The followers around him are not those scoundrels anymore.

General Fenwu's Mansion?

Gao Shaoyi snorted coldly, took out the two revolvers from his waist, and fired at the plaque with random bursts. In an instant, the plaque was as good as briquettes. If you hit my sister in the face, I will slap your general.

The face of the government.

The sound of gunshots attracted everyone in and around the house.

Repeating hand system?

Many people looked at the silver pistol in Gao Shaoyi's hand and wondered, what kind of weapon is this? Can it fire so many shots?

Nowadays, the revolver has been produced in the West as its predecessor, the revolver, but it has too many problems and needs to be improved.

Therefore, this kind of pistol is rare in advanced Western countries, let alone the relatively backward Daqian Dynasty.

"What are you doing? Your sister and I have severed all ties with each other. Why are you still messing around here? Do you want to make everyone in the capital laugh?"

Li Mingshan also came out, but he never took his brother-in-law seriously.

"Why do you beat my people? Do you still have the law?"

Seeing his own face red and swollen, and with so many people around him, Li Mingshan couldn't afford to suffer this loss. What's more, he had the support of the Dongdi people, so why should he be afraid of this incompetent brother-in-law?

boom…

Amid everyone's astonishment, Gao Shaoyi shot the guy who had just been beaten to death. Li Mingshan stood closer and was sprayed with blood on his face.

Killing people in the street!!!

The people around him were so frightened that they hid a little away.

Although this capital city was jointly occupied by the Western Empire of Windsor and the Gallic Empire more than ten years ago, after more than ten years of development, the security situation is still good, and killings in the streets have not happened for a long time.

"According to the laws of Daqian, if you offend a nobleman for no reason, you will be beheaded in the street, and your family will be exiled for three thousand miles. If you don't mention the king's law, I will give him a whip. But if you want to mention the king's law, then I will deal with it according to the king's law."

Gao Shaoyi's words were categorical. Although people around him felt that Gao Shaoyi's words were excessive, they did comply with the regulations of Daqian.

"you…"

Li Mingshan was choked and speechless.

His capable subordinate was killed in front of the mansion, and he couldn't even say a word.

In front of everyone, they can't find anything wrong with this kid. When did he understand the laws of Daqian?

Li Mingshan knew this brother-in-law too well. He was proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. He had never done anything serious. What happened today? Did he change his head?

"presumptuous……"

Li Mingshan held it in for a long time before spitting out two words, and more than twenty guards with swords ran out of the house. In today's Daqian, most people still use cold weapons.

Kaka…

The Wang Wu brothers were not afraid. They loaded the bullets directly and guarded Gao Shaoyi in the middle. Their guns were pointed at Li Mingshan's generals. Although we are small in number, if we really want to take action, we may not be able to take advantage. .

If you think your skin is stronger than bullets, you can come over and give it a try.

New rifle? How is this possible? Li Mingshan was attracted by the sound of pulling the bolt.

Li Mingshan used to work for the Ministry of War and was recently transferred to the Prime Minister's Affairs Office. Naturally, he knew that the power of this new rifle was beyond the capabilities of his men.

It's just that there are very few imported rifles of this kind. Except for the imperial guards, they are only found in a few princes' palaces. Where did this guy come from?

"Don't mess around..."

Li Mingshan quickly analyzed the current situation. If there was a conflict, he would not be able to take much advantage.

"Assuming what you just said is right, why are you here today? I have nothing to do with your sister anymore, and you are not welcome at the door of my house."

In fact, Li Mingshan had already lost the last round, but in front of so many people, this guy could only quickly move on to the next topic.

The people around him were not fools, and they all looked at him with a trace of disdain.

A close confidant was killed in the street, and he was outnumbered, so he was so cowardly?

"According to the laws of Daqian, if you divorce your wife, you must return the dowry. My sister was penniless and was divorced by you. Did you embezzle her dowry and the gifts from my parents? This is how you divorced your wife. ?Then if you marry more wives, won’t you become the richest man in the capital?”

Of course Gao Shaoyi didn't come here to ask for dowry, he just came for revenge, but it was a just and upright reason.

At that time, Li Mingshan was just the top scholar in a new subject and had no backing background. How could he gain a foothold in the Daqian Dynasty? It was not because of his father's many walks of life that he had everything he has today.

Although Gao Shaoyi didn't remember it very clearly, the dowry was by no means a small amount.

"No wonder people are looking for her. Divorce your wife without returning the dowry. How can this be done?"

"Who says it's not the case? The emperor ransacked the house and didn't even take the dowry. It seems that the people in the general's palace are really evil. No wonder my uncle kills people in the family."

"The General's Mansion looks so prestigious, but I didn't expect that it would even care about a woman's money. The old Marquis is really blind."

When the people around him heard this, they started talking, and Li Mingshan also had a dark look on his face.

If he mentioned other things, he would have thousands of explanations waiting for him, but he couldn't explain the dowry.

His father-in-law treated him well back then. He was helpless in the capital, and everything he had was given by his father-in-law.

When he got married, he spent almost nothing on everything from the house to the furniture. If he had to count the bills seriously, it would cost at least tens of thousands of imperial silver coins.

When Gao Shaoyi's father married a daughter, I don't know how many people envied Li Mingshan. The dowry of one hundred and sixty-eight dollars filled the whole street.

Since you want to divorce your wife, it means that you have no relationship with her, and the dowry must be returned.

But the money has almost been spent. This time Li Mingshan went to the Prime Minister's Affairs Office and spent all his wife's dowry on the operation. If he really wanted to pay back the money, he would have to sell the entire General's Mansion...

Li Mingshan glared at his former brother-in-law. He seemed to be a reckless man who came here to make trouble. In fact, everything was justified. The emperor was here, and the dowry today was also his fault. What should he do???
