Pei Yue swore to heaven and earth, and Yin Jinzhuo also begged the Duke to believe that his wife would not speak nonsense.

Duke Xun had no choice but to ask someone to report to the authorities.

The shopkeeper was not afraid at all. When Pei Yue and Yin Jinzhuo came in to ask for the first time, Mo Yan had already met him and told him not to be afraid.

Yin Xiushan called Lord Meng and issued a search warrant. The owner of Sun’s Pawnshop also came. Duke Xun started to have a headache after seeing it.

This person was a vassal of Prince Jin. When Duke Xun was making trouble, the owner of Sunji went to ask for Prince Jin's order.

Duke Xun had no choice but to go to the pawnshop's warehouse with Lord Meng, Mr. Sun, and the steward of Prince Jin's Mansion.

I searched all night, but naturally, I couldn’t find it!

Duke Xun apologized to his employer and the steward of Prince Jin's mansion. The other party looked unhappy, but also showed understanding. The Duke owed the other party a huge favor.

Pei Yue and Yin Jinzhuo were extremely frightened and anxious. How could the bottle disappear?

The two men hurriedly sent someone to find Liu Jie, who said innocently, "It's in Sunji. Song Chaofeng promised me that he would keep it for us to redeem within ten days."

Pei Yue said angrily: "Then go and redeem it immediately. I will give you as much silver as you want. If you can't redeem it, no matter what tricks you play, the prince will kill you!"

How could Liu Jie redeem it? When the court officials of Sun Ji saw Liu Jie coming to ask for the celadon vase, they withheld the pawn ticket, beat him up, and insisted on dragging him to see the Duke of Xun Guo.

Liu Jie was so scared that he ran away.

Meeting Duke Xun? Then everything would be exposed, and he would definitely be stripped of his skin.

Duke Xun was at a loss and went to find Yin Jinan again.

This time he suppressed his temper and shouted to Yin Jinan: "Open the door! I want to talk to you."

Yin Jinan opened the door, and Duke Xun came up and kicked him. Yin Jinan took it and said, "Have you thought about it? Will you give me half of the family property?"

"Promise me you can bring back the bottle!"

"You must first promise to give me half of the family property."

"You unfilial son!"

"Yes, yes, I am unfilial! Anyway, from childhood to adulthood, you have never said anything good about me. I am a bastard, a jerk, an unfilial son, a prodigal son... Please expel me from the house as soon as possible."

"I will ask your mother to give you half of the money in the account, and you will leave today."

"No, that won't do. Besides the silver, I also want a yard, a shop, land, and - half of my retainers!"

Duke Xun was a military commander. On the battlefield, the Yin family army made the enemy country tremble with fear. The eight family generals who followed Duke Xun were later rewarded by the court and became real generals.

Later, they retired from the army and returned to the countryside. Most of their descendants gave up military service and turned to literature, but there were also many new generation of military generals among their descendants, each of whom had a team with strong combat effectiveness.

The family generals are the foundation and the greatest confidence of the Xunguo Mansion.

What's the point of silver? He has plenty of it, and the family generals are what Yin Er wants most.

This is also the ultimate goal set by him and Xie Zhaozhao.

Under normal circumstances, no matter whether Yin Jinan would split the family in the future or not, all these confidence would be in Yin Jinzhuo's hands. If Yin Jinan hadn't seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity brought to him by Pei Yue, he would never have these in his life.

"If you don't give me the family general, I won't retrieve the reward bottle. Anyway, if you lose the imperial gift, you will be beheaded. If you kill me, my whole clan will be buried with you."

"You bastard, you rebellious son!"

Yin Jinan listened to the deafening scolding of Duke Xun Guo, scratched his ears, and said nonchalantly: "Why are you so excited? As long as the family is divided, I will give you the bottle immediately. That bottle can't be eaten or drunk, why should I keep it? No, you can smash it, clang, what a nice sound."

"You, you, you... bastard!"

Duke Xun didn't know what to curse.

Yin Jinzhuo and Pei Yue searched for a whole day and night, but Liu Jie still didn't get the bottle back, and they were almost going crazy.

Pei Yue knew best where the bottle had gone.

But, Liu Jie is missing!

He probably fled for fear of being punished.

The items bestowed by the emperor in the mansion of Duke Xun were pawned, but somehow the news leaked out.

Mo Yan and Manman met Pei Yuan and Tao Yin who were trying hard to spread the news on the street. The corners of their mouths twitched. "Miss Pei, please take it easy. The people in the Duke's Mansion are so anxious that their tempers are rising to the rooftops."

When the court was going to court that day, Lord Yu from the Censorate began to impeach someone again.

In the morning, he received another letter of commendation (letter of accusation) in his official sedan chair.

When Hua Zisheng shouted "I have a report to make", Lord Yu said loudly: "I want to impeach Duke Xun Guo for openly pawning the celadon vase bestowed by the late emperor. This is a great disrespect to the sacred object and he deserves severe punishment!"

Duke Xun and Yin Jinzhuo were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy. Yin Jinzhuo said, "Your Majesty, my second brother was ignorant and took it as a pawn. I..."

"Your Majesty!" Duke Xun interrupted Yin Jinzhuo hastily, "I beg Your Majesty to give me some time. This is all a misunderstanding. The imperial reward bottle is not lost, but there is some dust on it, and the craftsmen are cleaning it."

Emperor Hui looked at the father and son and said calmly, "Master Yu, do you have any evidence?"

Lord Yu said, "The night before yesterday, Duke Xun, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince's wife went from pawnshop to pawnshop to inquire about the celadon vase. At Sun's Pawnshop, they searched the warehouse overnight with the shopkeeper and Lord Meng from the government office. There are all the witnesses and evidence for this matter."

Yin Jinzhuo wanted to say he was talking nonsense, but Lord Yu said, "Whether I lied or not, I will know it when I come to your house. Bring out the celadon vase and I will apologize to you."

Yin Jinzhuo was speechless.

Duke Xun Guo said: "Your Majesty, give me three days. I will go back to the palace and retrieve it immediately. If there is any problem with the sacred object, I will take full responsibility."

His Majesty said calmly, "Don't go to court now. Go home and look for it immediately. If you find it, you must bring it to the court to prove it. If you can't find it, I will not let you off easily."

After leaving the palace, Duke Xun looked very unhappy.

Yin Jinzhuo complained: "I said that my second brother would destroy the whole mansion sooner or later..."

"Zhuo'er, you don't have any evidence at all, but you put all the blame on your second brother right in front of the court. Do you feel any guilt at all?"

"He stole it in the first place! I am also trying to protect the entire Yin family and the Duke's Mansion."

"Dad is a rough man, not as educated and scheming as you, but what you did is the behavior of a mean person!"

The Duke stopped talking to Yin Jinzhuo, rode back home on horseback, and went to Yin Jinan's yard first.

As expected, this bastard didn't go on duty. He was sitting in the yard with his feet up, drinking tea.

Yin Xiushan was furious and cursed, "Asshole, bring the bottle here right now."

"Divide the family first!" Yin Jin'an refused to give in. "Divide the family first, without wasting an hour, and hand it over to you immediately."

Duke Xun was furious. He wanted to divide the family! Damn it, whoever doesn't divide the family will be his grandson!

Lady Xunguo sided with the eldest brother and cried and cursed: "He can leave if he wants, but I can't give him half of the family property."

"How much are you going to give him?"

"We don't rely on him for our retirement, so giving him 10% is the most we can do!"

"Shut up! Half of the family property must be given to him immediately! Whoever delays in recovering the celadon vase will be killed immediately!"

Force the wife of Duke Xunguo to sort out all the land, shops and cash, not leaving a penny to Yin Er, so that that bastard would not delay again.

The accounts are clear, just give it to him.

But splitting up the family would be troublesome.

Who doesn't know that Yin Er is a well-known playboy and bad guy?

No one was willing to acknowledge him as their Lord.

Duke Xun cursed, "You rebellious son, it's not that I don't want to share it with you, it's just that you are a pile of mud, no one wants to follow you."

Yin Jinan said: "Then I will talk to them myself. If they don't want to follow me, I don't want them anymore."
