Ding Tian's Ancient Life

In the hall of the Ma family, people from the third room are all there, and the current owner of the Ma family is very rude: "I used to cooperate with the magistrate, and I could make a little money. Now the magistrate is not familiar with character, and he doesn't know temperament. Thirdly, I don’t know the family background, so how to cooperate? After the last trial, there was no result.”

"Brother, what are you in a hurry for?" The second son of the Ma family touched the gold ring on his hand, and said with a gloomy face, "Which official doesn't want political achievements? If we don't cooperate, his political achievements will look good?"

"That's right, our Ma family's business in Fucheng is not small. There is a medical clinic, two restaurants, a school, three grocery stores, and a caravan going to Beijing; there are also thousands of acres of fertile land, and tenants in two villages. He won't benefit from making trouble!" The youngest of the Ma family also thought the same way, the law does not blame the public, and the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake.

"The people don't fight with the rich, but the rich don't fight with the officials!" The Patriarch of the Ma family is still very rational: "No matter where we fight, we still have to compromise with the government in the end. This town, not to mention the Beifeng Mansion, the entire three Northeast Mansions, dare not make a sound."

My lord, for the Ma family of Beifeng Mansion, that is an unattainable existence.

"Brother, where is the prince, can we...?" The youngest of the Ma family was full of calculations, too shrewd on the surface.

That's the prince!

If the Ma family climbs into this relationship, they will reach the sky in one step!

"Yes, big brother!" The second child of the Ma family also looked at the Patriarch of the Ma family: "When we sent our fifth sister to that mansion, we received a lot of care!"

"The fifth younger sister is not from a good family background. She is just a concubine. The family has raised her so big that she is already worthy of her. When she enters the mansion, she is also a concubine, so she looks better. How old is the governor? Do you compare with the prince? Have you ever seen such a beautiful woman?" The Patriarch of the Ma family was actually a little moved, but unfortunately, he didn't have a good girl that he could afford.

What's more, those who send beauties to the prince will not end well.

The Ma family used a beauty trick once, and it was very fruitful, and now they want to repeat the old trick.

"Brother, isn't our grand-niece and granddaughter already fifteen?" The second child of the Ma family reminded him, "That's a descendant."

"In our Ma family, she is a descendant, and she is a young lady. What a fart in front of other princes?" The daughter of a high-ranking official's family was taught by a nanny in the palace since she was a child, and she was brought up by the wife who has a royal order in the family, and if she wanted to give it to the prince as a concubine, the prince didn't even want it!"

Compared with others, what is my granddaughter?

The Patriarch of the Ma family also thought about his granddaughter, but... her family background is too low, and she might not even be able to reach a concubine.

Are you going to be a roommate?

forget it!

My eldest granddaughter doesn't know the vertical line... the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting only know superficiality, let alone poetry and poetry...

The three brothers were silent for a while, and it was the second child of the Ma family who asked the third child: "How is the matter with your little grandson?"

"It's just like that!" The third child of the Ma family spat: "Back then, when I was in a hurry to marry a village girl, she was so fucking married.

It's a bridal chamber, and I found out that I married the wrong person after I lifted the hijab. This can't be returned, I can only admit it. This kid is very up-to-date, and gave me a third-family exam to be a scholar, but so what?Don't want other people's daughter-in-law... "

When I mentioned it, the third child of the Ma family became angry.

The young master of the Ma family is actually the third wife of the third house of the Ma family, that is, the only son of the third son of Ma Laosan.

They said outside that they belonged to the third house of the Ma family, but in fact, they were the third house of the third house of the Ma family, which belonged to the side branch

But outsiders don't understand the division here, so...their family is very arrogant.

"It's rare for a child to have someone he likes. What is the one he married? You haven't had a baby in five years, right? If you don't have a baby in two years, I will divorce you!" The second child of the Ma family is a vicious guy: " The third room of your family is just a single seedling, and you have passed the examination of a scholar, so you have a bright face."

The Ma family has a large population, but there are really few people who study. They are basically doing business. For them, reading means being able to understand the accounts and not being coaxed or fooled by the shopkeepers under them.

The main thing is to know how to settle accounts.

The young master of the third bedroom of the Ma family is very good at settling accounts.

If you don't let your daughter-in-law become pregnant for five years, and you don't even get pregnant, you can divorce your wife after seven years.

"I heard that there will be interrogation in a few days, third child, let your third-bedroom grandson test the magistrate, if he is willing to reconcile, he will definitely follow his mind... If he is not willing to reconcile, I'm afraid your grandson I won’t be able to fulfill my wish.” The Patriarch of the Ma family thought for a while: “Send someone to see if we can get in touch with the young master from Beijing?”

"You're talking about that distinguished guest from the Zhang family?" The second child of the Ma family became more energetic, with a calculating look on his face: "That's the son of a third-rank senior member."

"Then how about marrying the grand-niece to him...?" The youngest of the Ma family wished to use the grand-niece to cling to a tall branch.

There is no way, the Ma family has many children, but most of the daughters are from concubines, and those who are born from the descendants are basically boys. A girl born from the descendants is an important bargaining chip in the Ma family.

Those who are concubines can be given away as they please, whether it is a concubine or a maid, it doesn't matter.

This is the attitude of the Ma family.

"Don't mention the marriage, anyway, you are a little bit self-aware, that is a third-rank official, not the third kid next door." The Patriarch of the Ma family had a headache, the shortcomings of the two younger brothers were too obvious.

The second brother is cruel and ruthless, he only seeks the result in doing things, and doesn't care about the process.

As for the third brother, he can't do anything, and he can't eat enough, so he might as well be the second brother.

The main reason is that the two younger brothers are short-sighted. What can we do without ourselves in this family?

"Even if you don't want to be a wife, you can be a concubine!" The second son of the Ma family didn't care about his status, he only cared about being able to go to Gao Zhi'er: "That's a third-rank official in Beijing."

Generally speaking, the third rank is a big official in the frontier, and he is also in charge of a department in Beijing. In short, he has great power.

"Even if it's a concubine, I'm afraid people won't like it. Is there anything our Ma family can do?" The head of the Ma family also has a headache.Since the backer collapsed, the Ma family has been looking for a new backer...

Ding Tian still doesn't know the inside story of the Ma family, but Du Zhifu informed him that the trial will start tomorrow.

For this reason, he specially found Zhao Laosi and told him that the magistrate would support him, and Zhao Laosi kowtowed again.The next day, Zhao Laosi, who was full on purpose, was sent to the hall by Ding Tian himself.

In the hall, there were not only the plaintiff: the young master of the Ma family, but also two witnesses, the eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law of the old Zhao family.

The defendant was Zhao Laosi, but Zhao Laosi's four brothers stood on the periphery, they did not stand in the hall as witnesses.Ding Tian knew in his heart that these four people did not plan to support his brother anymore. Perhaps, before that, they were not supporting Zhao Lao Si, but a roundabout way to let Zhao Lao Si take the initiative to admit defeat and leave. wife.

In the hall, only the young master of the Ma family is exempt from kneeling, because he is a man of fame, so he is exempt from kneeling in the hall. When meeting officials, he calls himself a "student" instead of a "grass man".

Zhao Laosi knelt there, as if there was an invisible wall between the young master of the Ma family, and the people on both sides did not interact with each other.

look at each other.

Ding Tian noticed that the two brothers-in-law seemed a little nervous.

That's right, people who feel guilty must have no confidence in this majestic hall.

Du Zhifu's promotion to the court to question the case is naturally so majestic. Even if Ding Tian is the jailer, he can only stand on the periphery and watch, instead of participating in the questioning and so on.

Before Du Zhifu asked the case, he naturally wanted to take a look at the file. Master Du was standing beside him, making suggestions for him.

"Ma Jialiang...?" The first person Du Zhifu asked was the young master of the Ma family.

The big name is Ma Jialiang, and the style name is Liangcai.

However, I am fair and clean, and my figure is thinner than the average Northeast guy. Overall... Ding Tian thinks he is a gentle scum.

"Student Ma Jialiang, Ma Liangcai, I have met you!" Ma Jialiang saluted.

Wearing a light blue scholar's robe, holding a [-]-fold fan, he boasted that he was a gentle gentleman.

"You sued Zhao Laosi for beating you, and said that you delayed your imperial examination?" The pleading paper in Du Zhifu's hand was written by Ma Jialiang himself.

written.

The writing is a bit exaggerated, but Du Zhifu only mentioned two charges, one for assault and one for delaying the imperial examination.

"Yes, my lord." Ma Jialiang opened his mouth and began to chatter endlessly: "Zhao Lao Si had raised his eyebrows at the students before, that day he pretended to be crazy with alcohol, beat the students and vomited blood, and even the two brothers-in-law were hit by Chi Yu, who were beaten on the kang Lie on the bed for two months, the students are really upset, please adults make decisions for the students! This kind of reckless man, who loses his morals after drinking, should compensate the students for their losses! It was the Chinese New Year at that time! The entertainment has been delayed, student..."

Ma Jialiang complained, Wencai didn't see the good or bad, but he was quite good at turning black and white, calling himself a cabbage, the kind that anyone could come up and kick.

"Do you have any witnesses?" Prefect Du was a little annoyed by what he heard.

"Yes, the two brothers-in-law can testify for the students. At the same time, they are also victims..." Ma Jialiang pointed to the two brothers-in-law.

The two of them were already kneeling on the ground, but now they became kowtowers: "I beg you to be the master of the grassroots!"

"This government asks you two, are you two people who can testify for Liang Xiucai of the Ma family?" Du Zhifu asked the two kowtowers indifferently: "Be clear."

Master Du also chimed in: "You two have thought about it, you will end up perjury, but you have to sit back, that is, if you sue others, the crime will be charged back to you."

I don't know if these two people are too stupid?Still the brain circuits are amazing.

The two of them actually understood that: if Master Zhao's fourth daughter-in-law is not obtained by Master Ma, then their daughter-in-law will be taken away by Master Ma and become his concubine.

The daughter of the Ma family is not bad, mainly because she is virtuous, capable of giving birth and raising.

These two brother-in-laws both have sons and daughters in their families, and their sons are thirteen or fourteen, and they are about to grow up and get married, so they will be able to embrace their grandchildren soon.

He lived a good life with his own wife, why should he be torn apart?

Immediately, I felt a little bit of resentment towards the young master of the Ma family, but thinking that the family had taken money from him, it was too late to regret it.

Ma Jialiang saw that the two were hesitant, so he opened his mouth, threatening: "You two brothers-in-law, you have to testify to me!"

The money has been collected, and the fabrics sent are all worn on your mothers-in-law and children. What kind of tricks are you playing for this young master now?

"We both drank a little too much..."

"This... this... we were beaten too...."

It was true that they were beaten, and it was true that they drank too much, but they were beaten after they drank too much, but it was not Zhao Laosi who beat people.

It's just a little benefit, what if you lose your wife for this little benefit?

Ma Jialiang was extremely depressed: "You two brothers-in-law, in the lobby, you can say whatever you have, and the magistrate will definitely decide for us."

He bit the word "I" very hard.

Du Zhifu turned his head and asked Zhao Laosi: "Are you Zhao Laoshi?"

"Cao Min is right!" Zhao Laosi was dressed as a clean prisoner, kneeling there in a neat manner, without any impression of the prisoner's sloppy appearance.

And with a straight back, it's a world of difference from the two witnesses over there who are like kowtowing bugs.
