Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"Think about it carefully!" Old Uncle Zheng was a little helpless: "Or inadvertently, whose good deed have you ruined?"

"How is it possible?" Ding Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "After I came to Fucheng, besides my family, I went to the government office. There are paid ones!"

He is not short of money. Besides, there are only five people in the family. Even Mrs. Jin and her little grandson, who has never met, are only six and one. His salary is enough to support them, plus the land. With a small income, he is living a good life, and he still has enough money to subsidize his work unit.

"That's weird." Uncle Zheng told Ding Tian: "When I went back yesterday, one of my little nephews told me that many people were asking about you outside. Help someone who is familiar with the street and take him to see you, which is opposite to your restaurant, on the second floor of the Liansheng restaurant."

Ding Tian blinked his eyes: "Huh?"

He doesn't quite understand, what's the matter?

If it's a beautiful woman, it's understandable to be watched by others; or a handsome guy who is so handsome, such as Wang Zuo...he can understand it too.

But myself...what's the matter?

"Ah, what? Think about it, do you have any enemies?" Uncle Zheng said seriously, "Prisoner, this is not a joke. It's not just one person who can find you with such a big fanfare. Good thing."

Ding Tian also felt that something was wrong: "Don't worry, I know, and to tell you the truth, when I was in Niujiao County, I did help the governor and the magistrate, so I got a big reward and became an official again. An official who is younger than Zhima, but the case has been closed, whether it is the principal or the errand runner, I guarantee that none of them have the ability to retaliate against me. Besides, even if they want to retaliate, then I am not the first choice. , there are too many people with bigger heads than mine!"

Uncle Zheng was very happy when he said this.

"I'm not very clear about what happened this time, but I can guarantee that they will never threaten everyone, and of course, they will not threaten me either. I don't believe that they are in this mansion, this mansion city. What do you dare to do to me?" The reason why Ding Tian has confidence in this place is that Wang Zuo's master is stationed in the post station in Fucheng, and General Gao has taken over the city defense since he came here. This is when he was in Wang Zuo's study. , Wang Zuo told General Gao about the defense in front of him, he heard it.

It was also at that time that he realized what a prince represented.

On the surface, Wang Zuo only had [-] men, and some were servants, cooks and other non-combatants.

However, General Gao brought more than 2000 soldiers and horses in Fucheng, and after three years of war, these soldiers and horses are definitely fierce soldiers who have seen blood on the battlefield.

It is still all cavalry. In the cold weapon era of ancient times, it was a very fast mobile force.

There are so many soldiers and horses just to protect Wang Zuo alone.

Even the taxes of the three Northeast prefectures have to be deducted one-tenth to provide for King Ning's expenses.

This is the treatment of the prince.

What's more, from time to time there are things sent from Beijing, all of which are good things at the tribute level.

Send charcoal and furs in winter; send spring shirts and big fish in the open river when spring begins; the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and now there are already send summer clothes, eggs, meat and some noodles here...

It is estimated that the zongzi will appear soon.

Under such circumstances, if something could happen in Fucheng, it would be a ghost.

What's more, he also felt that Wang Zuo attached great importance to him, so Du Zhifu and the others could only support him and coax him, and they would never let anyone hurt him.

So Ding Tian is confident: "Besides, I have never made enemies with anyone. I haven't had any enemies before, and I haven't now. In the future...it's hard to say."

"

"It's fine if you know about it^" Seeing that Ding Tian was so sure, Old Uncle Zheng was relieved: "But be careful when you go in and out, I will let Zheng Dang follow you in the future, at least you are a jailer, and you can't be without someone around you. "

"Eh hehe..." Ding Tian smiled awkwardly.

"Going in and out alone all day long is not imposing at all. The prison boss used to have two servants by his side every time he went out, so he was shaking very much!" Old Uncle Zheng stroked his beard: "You shake it too. Prestige, otherwise everyone will think you are a soft persimmon!" Ding Tian was even more embarrassed: "Okay!"

"That's right, when you go out on business every day, you should also be careful, not afraid that they are upright, but afraid that they will play tricks.

Yes, I have to ask my little nephew to ask those people. "Old Uncle Zheng is very concerned about Ding Tian's safety. Such a boss is hard to come by. He hopes that the good days will last forever.

Ding Tian took out two taels of silver from his pocket and gave him: "Please help me thank your little nephew."

"Okay." Uncle Zheng took it. If it was for him, he would definitely not want it, but if it was for Liangzi, he could pass it on.

Also let those people know that Si Prison Ding's behavior is not a bad thing.

After Old Uncle Zheng left, Ding Tian thought about it for a long time, but he never thought who he had offended.

After the spring plowing, the daily meals have been restored to three meals, morning, noon and evening.

Ding Tian ate at home in the morning and evening, and mingled with the jailers in the yamen at noon, and because of him, the food level of the jailers rose sharply.

Especially now that some small green vegetables came out, Ding Tian asked the two cooks to have a cold dish for every meal.

Cold bean sprouts, cabbage with vinegar and pepper, etc. came in turn, Ding Tian felt that something was missing: "Old Zheng Uncle, why don't you go buy some vermicelli this afternoon?"

"Okay!" Uncle Zheng said with emotion: "Mung bean vermicelli mixed with soybean sprouts, that's delicious."

Others also looked yearning.

But today the cell is doomed to be very busy, because the magistrate finally started to interrogate those kidnappers.

Ding Tian wanted to watch the jailers and pick up the kidnappers one by one and hand them over to Ke Feng, the soap head who came to pick them up.

Like him, Ke Feng was also staring at his own people and mentioning criminals. At the same time, the two of them were acquaintances. After getting along with each other during this period, Ke Feng also felt that Ding Tian was a good person. At least Ding Tian was rampant without success. How close is Ding Tian to that nobleman from Beijing?

But Ding Tian tossed about on his own one-acre three-point land, never crossing the boundary.

"The masters of these people are going to be tried. After the trial, should they be sentenced?" Ding Tian chatted with Ke Feng while he was idle.

"The master has already made preparations, and the reply letter from above has arrived." Ke Feng whispered to Ding Tian: "It's capital punishment!"

"Capital punishment?" Ding Tian's eyes widened: "So serious?"

Capital punishment, also known as capital punishment and execution, is one of the oldest punishments in the world. It usually means that the executioner ends the life of a prisoner based on the power conferred by law.

The offenders involved in this life-depriving method of punishment usually committed serious crimes locally.

"It's all light." Ke Feng curled his lips: "If you want me to say, it's not an exaggeration for them to be hacked into pieces."

Ding Tian rubbed his nose: "Hmm..."

Although he is a person from modern times, born under the red flag, and raised in the new society, but...for the criminals who trafficked people, he really couldn't protect them.

What's more, this era is also very disgusting to such people... The death penalty is reasonable.

These people were dragged out for trial, which started early in the morning. The trial was very fast, and it was probably just a sentence.

But after everyone went out, Ding Tian asked someone to clean the cell they lived in. After it was cleaned up, just as lunch was being prepared in the kitchen, someone came over and said to them, "Master is going to kill someone!"

"kill?"

"The 36 that went out?"

"Yeah!" The man said, "It's all pushed to Caishikou in the north!"

Fucheng also has a vegetable market entrance, just over the north gate, and now there are a lot of people gathered there. Prefect Du has been here for more than a year, and it is not warm on weekdays... but now he wants to chop off the heads of more than [-] criminals in one go .

Everyone was a little surprised, but also a little inexplicably excited, and really wanted to see it!

For this kind of thing, Ding Tian objected in his heart: "Everyone stand up for me honestly and do my own errands well."

"Prisoner..." Zheng Dang really wanted to watch the excitement.

Young people, who don't know the cruelty of being beheaded, just want to see others be beheaded.

"Want to watch the fun?" Ding Tian asked him, "Is it?"

"En!" Zheng Dang nodded honestly.

"What are you looking at?" Ding Tian tapped his head: "Go back to work honestly. Is it interesting to see beheading? Bloody blood is not afraid of nightmares."

Seeing him like this, it's hard for everyone to talk about going to see the beheading.

Ding Tian sighed: "You guys think it's nothing to cut off one person's head, but if you cut off more than 30 heads... aren't you afraid of being bumped into? Old Zheng Uncle, go to the medicine hall in a while, open a large pack of soothing decoction, and come back Let the kitchen boil, one bowl per person."

Everyone became honest at once.

As a result, in the afternoon, Old Uncle Zheng went to prescribe the decoction and came back. After each person drank a bowl, the next day, Old Uncle Zheng had no choice but to give Ding Tian a thumbs up: "You are so right, Prisoner! Today, the little old man passed by the medicine Tang, a lot of people are queuing up to buy the decoction of Anshen Zhenjing. They are all guys who went to watch the excitement yesterday. They had nightmares last night! The sick are also sick, and they all go to the pole to find their sins."

Ding Tian smiled faintly: "Curiosity killed the cat!"

The jailer in the prison also went out to communicate with other people, and found that even the most daring yamen servant was a little panicked at the moment: "Stop talking, I had a nightmare yesterday."

At this moment, a jailer came over to inform Ding Tian: "Ding Si prison, the master invites you to meet someone in the past."

"Who is it?" Ding Tian only had a few acquaintances here, and if he was looking for him, he would not let the jailer pass on his message.

"It's the eldest son of the Lin family. He's here to thank you. The prefect has already gone to receive you. Please go to the living room of the second hall to meet."

Ding Tian thought for a long time before he remembered that this was the brother of the twin sisters he saved.

Arriving at the living room of the second hall, there is a hill of small gift boxes in the living room. A young and rather rich man is chatting warmly with Du Zhifu. Seeing Ding Tian come in, he took the initiative to stand when he saw the clothes he was wearing. Get up, cup your hands: "Ding Si prison."

Ding Tian also cupped his hands, but looked at Du Zhifu.

Du Zhifu happily stroked his beard and said, "This is Lin Xiuqi, the eldest son of the local squire Lin's family."

"Master Lin." Ding Tian said hello.

"The villain has been punished today. The whole Lin family is grateful for your kindness and came to express our thanks!" Mr. Lin spoke very kindly: "It's just a small gift, please be sure to accept it. If it weren't for the old parents who were sick and sick, we would have come to see you together a long time ago." You."

The last thank you from the Lin family was just an appetizer. This time, seeing the villains have their heads beheaded, this tone is completely gone.

So thinking of Ding Tian as a benefactor, I came to the door to thank him again.

Saved the two ladies, thanked you twice, a very particular family.

Mr. Lin came not only to repay Ding Tian for saving his life, but also to give gifts to the magistrate.

I don't know what Du Zhifu thought. He insisted on leaving Ding Tian in the flower hall to drink tea. In front of Ding Tian, ​​Du Zhifu accepted the gift from Mr. Lin. Of course, the name is also for thanks, if Without the strong support of Du Zhifu, could these kidnappers be caught?

In fact, Du Zhifu didn't do anything, it was entirely Ding Tian's credit, but Ding Tian shared the credit, which made everyone eat meat and drink soup.

After Mr. Lin left with his people, Prefect Du put the things aside and asked Ding Tian, ​​"Do you know what he came back for?"

Ding Tian blinked his eyes: "Isn't it just to thank you?"
