Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"Yes, I didn't expect that I just wanted to help Prison Ding, but I accidentally touched this line. I thought they were dumping salt on the grassland!" Liu Wenbin slapped his palm with a fan.

To be honest, they sent people to pay attention to the case of the lost cow. At first, it was because of Ding Tian. He always asked the prince about this matter. Good food will do.

The guards took turns to rest, thinking about going to see the excitement, but I didn't expect it!

I really found a clue, and it was a clue related to the leather armor.

"Prefect Du's vision is still small." Wang Zuo shook his head, "If the guards didn't know what to pay attention to, we would have lost this opportunity long ago."

He didn't expect that he would find another clue by mistake.

"My lord, Four Seas Gambler... What do you think?" Liu Wenbin mentioned another place.

"I don't think so, and they didn't force the people to gamble. Where is there no gambling house?" Wang Zuo didn't care.

"Yes!" Liu Wenbin responded, "That person... stay, or not?"

"What do you say?"

"Leave it, at least it's a witness."

"If there are too many witnesses, he won't be too many, and if there are too many witnesses, he won't be many, so keep it and tell him, well, maybe there will be one life left in the future, and don't do anything to him, as long as he is needed, let him speak , To be honest, it’s fine, this case will definitely be heard by Datian in the future, maybe he has a chance to go to the capital to have a look!" Wang Zuo put away the file: "Rich, rich!"

"Yes, my lord!" Wang Fugui popped out with a whoosh.

"Go and ask the kitchen, is the beef ready? When it's done, I'll take it to Ding Tian's house for dinner."

"It's ready, let's pack it!" Wang Fugui has no other skills, but in ordinary times, he is the most dedicated to taking care of Wang Zuo

He never participated in government affairs, and only cared about Wang Zuo's daily life.

Wang Zuo took the stewed beef and wandered to Ding Tian's house. He was very familiar with this place, but he still asked Wang Fugui very unhappy, "When will it be repaired?"

"Soon, my lord, it's the busy season of farming, and many people are going to shovel and weed. There are not enough manpower... But we pay high wages, and people work hard." Wang Fugui wiped his sweat and said: "After the last autumn, decorate it, let it dry, and you can move in."

"Hmph!" Wang Zuo snorted coldly: "You have taken care of it, I don't want to live with a group of people."

"Understood, understood!" Wang Fugui nodded and bowed, he knew the master's thoughts too well, and everything was going on quietly.

After Ding Tian went on a business trip, thinking about the hot weather, he made watered hand-rolled noodles. The oily mushrooms marinated last autumn were chopped and beaten into two large goose eggs. It was a ready-made marinade.

Cucumber shreds, coriander, and green onion shreds are on the same plate, and some braised beef is cut into a platter, and it's all done.

The food is simple, but Wang Zuo just loves it.

During the period, Ding Tian told him about the case: "I never thought that a gambler would dare to do such an outrageous thing. It's really... damn it!"

"He's just impulsive for a while, and after that, people will be frightened." Wang Zuo knew this kind of person too well: "I didn't listen to him.

What did the neighbor say, this guy usually doesn't care about four or six, so why don't he run away now that something happened? "

Ding Tian filled another bowl of noodles for himself: "Yes, that Wu Er is a hot-blooded guy, but after the matter is over, Du Zhifu also asked people to go down, and all the village chiefs, clan elders and village chiefs should be vigilant Let’s educate the common people, we can’t always be hot-blooded.”

The sturdy folk customs in the North have caused some cases here to be closed if they are not brought up, and big troubles are easy to happen if they are done.

No, just two days later, it's July, and people say that the gate of hell opens on July [-]th, and July is the hottest time, when the yang energy is at its peak, and at the same time, it is also a critical moment when the heat turns to cool.

Then... there was a murder case in Beifeng Mansion.

Early in the morning, Ding Tian came with sixty or seventy salted duck eggs. After the beginning of spring, there was no need to incubate ducklings, and the price of eggs had come down. Maliujia bought some duck eggs and goose eggs. When the eggs came back, they were pickled with salt, and they ate some at home. Ding Tian also brought some for the cell from time to time.

Although this seems like a lot, there are no. 30 people in the cell, and one of them has nothing to eat in two days.

Of course, the cell has its own kitchen, where they use big vats to pickle pickles, sauerkraut and eggs.

He brought something, although it was small, but it showed that he still missed everyone, not to mention that after Ding Tian came, he improved a lot, and everyone in the prison accepted his favor.

After arriving, Ma Xiaofeng honestly went to look for Jin Jia.

He is now Jin Jia's student, and Jin Jia can teach without distinction. He thinks that although Ma Xiaofeng is a little young, he is not bad.

Ding Tian gave Jin Jia an extra six taels of silver a year.

Ding Tian looked at last month's account book. Last month was the first month of "reform through labor education" in the cell. Grinding snack materials and beating straw made a total profit of two taels of silver.

Don't look at the small, four people earn two taels of silver, fifty copper coins per person, which is very good, and the average can earn one or two copper coins per day.

Even doing part-time jobs outside is about the same price.

Ding Tian made the decision, one tael of silver went to the public, and put it in his own small account in the cell; he divided the one tael of silver equally among the four people...Of course, he didn't tell the four of them, but set up a separate account book, and each person got 25 copper coins a month , Less is a little less, but 25 copper plates a month, four months is one tael of silver, and one year is three taels of silver.

In this era when farmers can only save more than twenty taels of silver every year in good times, three taels of silver are less this year, but they will spend two years in prison, at least when they get out of the prison, each person can take away six taels of silver... Well, one or two need to be deducted, when they have been in prison for the past two years, they have troubled the guards to serve them.

Then take away five taels per person, no more, no less, that's fine.

Even if they don't do anything, it's enough for them to live frugally for a year.

If they return to their old ways after going out... Ding Tian thinks they will fall into his hands sooner or later.

The meals in the cell at noon consisted of greasy scallion pancakes, cold home-cooked cold dishes, and a plate of stewed beef for each table. This was meaty, and the plates were stacked high enough to feed a table.

He ate at the same table with Jin Jia, Uncle Zheng, Zheng Dang, and others, and Jin Jia mentioned a criminal case he had investigated: "I see that in the original file, there was an unidentified corpse two years ago. Although the corpse is rotten, the time of the victim's death can be deduced from the degree of rot..."

Ding Tian nodded: "That's right, but it depends on the weather, temperature, humidity..."

These two people were eating while discussing corpses, corpse spots and so on... Who can bear this?

Uncle Zheng hugged his rice bowl silently, picked up two chopsticks of beef, and went to eat at the next table.

Zheng Dang followed his father and left too.

There were a few other people who divided the beef and took the dishes away. Aunt Cui served them both alone...

Others had already moved the table and chairs far away from them, and the two were still discussing some details about the "corpse".

After all, Ding Tian learned it systematically. Bi Jin Buhuan, a self-taught wild guy, made up for each other's knowledge points. It is still very pleasant, but others are more painful... Can you stop talking about these unappetizing things during the meal?

But the two chatted happily.

After lunch and taking a nap, after waking up, Zheng Dang ran into his yard while he was grinding his pillow, but he didn't dare to rush into his room with straight eyebrows, but stood In the yard, a loud voice shouted: "Ding Si prison, Ding Si prison!,,

"What are you doing?" Ding Tian got up from the pit.

His pit was clean and tidy, with only a layer of bamboo mats, a thin layer of pit mattresses, a layer of summer mats, a cool pillow, and a set of thick bedding and pillows in the pit cabinet. This is winter. needed.

There are also three or five pieces of very simple furniture in the room. It looks like a large space, and the wind blows in from outside...it's quite cool.

"Someone found an unknown corpse in the woods outside the city. Everyone said it might be Wu Er!" Zheng Dang said with a hint of joy in his voice, "Many people are going to watch the fun!"

Ding Tian hammered the pillow: "What's going on? Someone died?"

After saying that, he got off the ground, put on his shoes, and came out: "Who has gone to the yamen?"

"Tian Tuotou arrived first with his people, and the others went as well. The Lord Fuzun just left." Zheng Dang came over and told Ding Tian with dancing: "I heard that after lunch at noon, someone was on their way I felt hot, so I went into the woods to escape the heat, just to rest for a while, to sleep, but who knew that when I went into the woods, I always felt that the woods were very smelly, and when I pulled a bush, I found a dead person inside!"

Ding Tian looked at him: "There is only one dead person, why are you so happy?"

Zheng Dang then touched his head in embarrassment: "The little one thinks, whether you want to change Mr., probably because you like this kind of cases?

"

Ding Tian looked at him again for a long time: "Starting tomorrow, you and Ma Xiaofeng will go to Mr. Buhuan's place and add a small cooking stove." Now Jin Buhuan let the jailers learn to read and write, and Ding Tian is giving the jailers a small class every now and then. Yes, the jailers already know how to write their own names, and they study hard.

But Ding Tian thinks that Zheng Dang is a good kid, he can be a companion with Ma Xiaofeng, and learn more together, Jin Buhuan is not the kind of person who keeps secrets.

The real ability is only when you learn the skills. Whether you want to learn the skills of autopsy or the medical skills of seeing a doctor, it is always a skill.Zheng Dang was stunned: "I...?"

"Well, you!" Ding Tian hurriedly ran out: "Isn't it worth the money? It's not worth the money! Come out! It's exciting to watch."

Leaving Zheng Dang stunned on the spot, old Uncle Zheng came out to see him standing there, and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you doing?"

"Father, Ding Siyu said, let me follow Ma Xiaofeng to eat Mr. Buchang's small stove every day...?" Zheng Dang couldn't believe it.Who didn't know that Jin Buhuan took Ma Xiaofeng as his apprentice?

This is Ding Tian's intention, and Jin Buhuan is also willing to teach Ma Xiaofeng some skills.

Old Uncle Zheng's eyes widened after hearing this: "Really?"

"Really, father." Zheng Dang said seriously: "Ding Siyu said it himself."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Old Uncle Zheng's eyes were red: "I didn't expect my old Zheng's family to have such a blessing."

Who doesn't know Mr. Jin Buhuan's great talent?

He is a dusty pearl dug out by Ding Si prison.

Because of him, the difference in the beef can be seen at a glance, and the progress of the cattle killing case has been made.

Old Uncle Zheng went to buy beef with him. He only saw that the beef was a little dark, and thought it was left over from yesterday.

If the eldest son really learned something from Mr. Buhuan...it would be a craft.

The Zheng family's father and son were grateful to Ding Tian, ​​and Ding Tian had already gone out with Jin Buhuan and Ma Xiaofeng, and two yamen servants who came back to fetch things were walking with them.

Within five miles of Beifeng Mansion, there are no forests, because in ancient times, ladders and siege vehicles were used to siege the city, and they were all made of wood, so the forests can also provide timber. Around the big city, at least five miles It is not allowed to have stretches of woods within the city. In case of enemy troops coming, the woods outside the city may become the source of materials for others.

Therefore, this forest is located on a small hillside ten miles away from Beifeng Mansion. It is not a tall and neat forest, but a wild forest....
