Ding Tian's Ancient Life

No matter what the Cai family said, they couldn't do much to influence the Yamen to ask the case and collect evidence.

And the group of them quickly returned to the yamen, where they had just eaten a lunch provided by the government, but there was nothing delicious, stewed cabbage vermicelli, radish stick soup, and big goose stewed with potatoes.

This is considered very good, two rice, no wine.

After lunch, the group went straight out of the city to Baiyun Village without even taking a break.

Baiyun Village is a village at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, but this village is very big, and because it is close to Baiyun Mountain, it is very well built, with houses of seven or eight rows and hundreds of families.

Now after the autumn harvest, it is time to pay taxes and grains. Now the courtyards of the family are full of grains, and the food bags of the family are ready to be loaded on the truck and sent to the county government.

This was supposed to be Bai Zhanfeng's stage, so he went to find the head of Yunjia Village and took them to Bai Yunqing's original home.

Yun Huaqing's house has been bought by the nephew of the village chief.

His nephew is called Yun Huaxi.

"Huaxi, let me just say, this house has bad feng shui, you insist on buying it, and you can't live in it after buying it. What do you want to do? Is it empty?" Village Chief Yun was very dissatisfied with his nephew.

Yun Huaxi also looks like a little scholar, with a slender body and a feeling that he can't lift his shoulders or hands, but his temper is very stubborn: "Uncle, as I said, Yun Qing is not that kind of person, you just don't believe me, His home cannot be lost." "Why are you so determined? He has confessed himself!" Village Chief Yun angrily taught him: "Your father passed away early, and your mother left too. You alone, the whole All the belongings are used to buy this house, you...you are really going to piss me off!"

"I live here, and I also live in the place that Yunqing arranged for me before. His things are also placed in the house, just waiting for him to come back..." As he spoke, his eyes turned red: " He... he is dead, I will collect his body!"

"Oh, you kid... I also believed in Yun Qing at the time, but he pleaded guilty, what can I do? I stopped you from going to see him for your own good, but you want to be a scholar Don’t you think that your father and mother have hoped that you will come back with an examination?” Village Chief Yun sighed, “These are officials who are here for investigation, let them in.”

Yun Huaxi looked at them vigilantly: "What kind of official post? Where did you come from?"

"I'm Bai Zhanfeng, the head catcher of this county." Bai Zhanfeng stood up, "This is head catcher Tian from Fucheng."

Tian Jing clasped his fists together: "Master Fuzun has read the file and thinks that there are many doubts about Yun Huaqing's murder case, so he suppressed the case and did not report it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interdiction, but listed out the doubts. In addition, Yun Huaqing is in prison I filed a petition and sent me to investigate and collect evidence, but the case has been going on for a long time and the scene has been damaged. Now I just want to come in and see the place where Yun Huaqing usually lives. What can I do for him? strong evidence."

But the other party didn't believe what he said: "You sound good, what if you came to find something against him? Or if you took something and said it was his criminal evidence? Those officials came at that time, searched the house, took He took away Huaqing's daily savings and some tokens of love from his fiancée, and said they were stolen goods...condemned him for a serious crime...that is a crime of beheading!"

"Don't worry, Yun Huaqing did file a petition in prison, and we also believe that he was wronged, but he is too kind, too kind, and too emotional." Ding Tian hurriedly said: " Miss Cai is his heartache..."

After listening to Ding Tian's words, Yun Huaxi's complexion improved a bit: "Yes, although Hua Qing looks bohemian, he is very affectionate and righteous. When my parents died at the beginning of the year, my second uncle's family came to want to divide the family property. He helped me get ahead, scolded the other party, and kept the family wealth left by my parents..."

"Cough cough..." Village Chief Yun coughed lightly, thinking that such a shameful thing should not be said in front of outsiders, right?

But Yun Huaxi didn't care about him!

He really dared to say anything: "I don't know where to beg for food. He helped me back then, and now I want to help him."

Yun Huaqing's house is the best house in the village. It is built with blue bricks and gray tiles. It is magnificent. There are sheds on the left and right, a vegetable garden, and a garden behind. , Live without losing your status.

So the price of this house, as you can imagine, is definitely not cheap.

Yun Huaxi was able to spend the money to buy this house, so he must have a good family background.

"Hey!" Village Chief Yun sighed again: "Then you let them in, everything is still there, and it is used in Huaqing on weekdays... When I bought the house, I asked for it to remain intact."

"That's right, let's go in." Ding Tian thought for a while: "The Zizhi Tongjian that Huaqing loves to read is still on the soft bed in the study.

Right? "

Yun Huaqing looks dissolute on the outside, but in fact, his literary talents are indeed very good, and Zi Zhi Tong Jian is his favorite. He often said that reading history can

He understands many things, so he loves Zizhi Tongjian the most, and he likes to lie on his side on the soft bed in the study, because the soft bed is next to the window, and outside the window is an apricot tree that has grown for more than ten years. When the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, reading under the window is a great enjoyment

Few people know about this hobby, because they all think he is a libertine. Although he is a bit learned, which scholar is not romantic?

Hearing what Ding Tian said, Yun Huaxi believed him a little: "Then tell me, what else does he love?"

"Don't look at the brothels and Chu restaurants you go to every now and then, and the big banquet noodles, in fact, his favorite food is the small fresh meat wontons in the southeast market of the county." Ding Tian said: "And every time there are more Put a spoonful of garlic sprouts to enhance the taste, but he doesn’t eat the pickles on the stall because he saw their children pee in the pickle jar once... Hahaha...!"

This is usually some small information that the jailers got when chatting with Yun Huaqing.

In fact, it was just that Ding Tian felt that he needed to care about the lives of the prisoners and their moods. Unexpectedly, this time could be used to build closer relationships.

Sure enough, when Yun Huaxi heard it, his face became even better: "Brother Hua Qing also told you?"

"He lived a very good life with us. I also told him that he pleaded guilty in despair and then be beheaded? Or find out the real culprit and avenge Miss Cai's fiancée. He figured it out, that's why we came here... It's just that this is an important place in the case, but it was sold and sold, it's too inappropriate." Ding Tian glanced at Village Chief Yun, and he also looked very embarrassed

"Then come in." Yun Huaxi finally nodded and let him in.

But he followed Ding Tian: "What do you want to see? The study? The bedroom?"

"I want to see it all." Jin Buchang said: "Especially what kind of clothes does he usually wear? What kind of food does he eat?  …

 … ,,

"Then let's go!" Yun Huaxi nodded: "Go to the study first."

As a scholar, in Yun Huaqing's study room, there is a large bookcase on the north wall, which is full of books. Apart from the Four Books and Five Classics, there are also some works of various schools of thought. Ancient books are very precious, so The study is the most important place in a family besides the bedroom.

There is a faint smell of camphor wood inside, which is something used to keep books from getting worms.

Tables, chairs, benches, soft slumps and a small heated kang, the study looked like the place where Yun Huaqing often stayed.

In addition, there is indeed an apricot tree outside the window. Of course, the current scenery is definitely not good.

In the bedroom, it is very clean. There are cabinets and kang tables on the fire pit. Anyway, I live alone. There is a big kang, and I can do whatever I want.

Jin Buhuan put on that outfit again, and started to toss and take a lot of things, especially fabrics, even shoes.

Ding Tian asked Yun Huaxi, "Is there any rope at home?"

"Yes^" Yun Huaxi pointed to the west ear room and said, "It's in the firewood room."

Ding Tian took a look and found that it was a thick hemp rope: "So thick?"

"This is for binding firewood. If it's a pole, you can just twist it into a rope and tie it up without much trouble." Yun Huaxi said: "Besides, those women who burn the firewood are all energetic."

"I don't think Yun Huaqing is fat, is he strong?" Ding Tian asked casually: "Look at the book of Zi Zhi Tong Jian, he read it with his arms... isn't he afraid of sore arms?"

"Where does he hold it to read? He only reads with one book. Although Brother Huaqing is quite tall, he really doesn't have much strength. He can withstand a [-]-jin bag of rice at most. Hahahaha... the last time I went Chunxiang Building..." Yun Huaxi told Ding Tian about Yun Huaqing's embarrassing incident.

It turned out that once they took an exam in the college of the husband, got good grades, were praised by the husband, took three days off, collected some money, and went to Chunxiang Building.

At that time, the headliner of Chunxiang Building was a woman named "Qing Niang". This woman was petite and exquisite, and it was said that she weighed no more than a load of grain.

They were going to see it, and it turned out that the young lady could really stand and dance on the silver plate. She was petite and super light, but no matter how light she was, she was still a big living person. The silver plate was a super big plate the size of a tabletop. It is an ice tray usually used to hold ice cubes to cool down in summer.

A few people drank too much and bragged that they could pick up the beauty up the stairs, but in the end...Yun Huaqing picked her up...but only took three steps before falling off the beauty....

At that time, you became the laughing stock among them, and you couldn't even hug a woman, what else could you do?He is really a weak scholar who "can't lift his shoulders and lift his hands"!

Ding Tian became thoughtful when he heard this... Where did such a person get so much strength?

It may be that no one has told him about Yun Huaqing for a long time, and Yun Huaxi is very happy to share Yun Huaqing's past with Ding Tian, ​​even if it is embarrassing.

Ding Tian passively listened to Yun Huaqing's past. Although it was said to be beautified, Ding Tian still recognized that Yun Huaqing was really not a good bird.

He is just a scholar, so he wants to be a crazy student. If he passes the Juren examination, he can't be a crazy student, right?

They stayed here very late, and Village Chief Yun invited them to dinner. The family slaughtered two hens, stewed some mushrooms and vermicelli, steamed two rice, and pickled eggplant with pepper.

The taste was not bad. After everyone finished their meal, they wanted to go home. Tian Jing left fifty copper coins to Village Chief Yun: "That's all, we can't eat the food of the common people for nothing."

"This...?" Village Chief Yun looked at Bai Zhanfeng. We all come and go on weekdays, so they didn't ask for money?

Besides, Baiyun Village is a wealthy village, it's just a meal, isn't it?

After Tian Jing finished speaking, he got into the carriage and hurried out, Bai Zhanfeng nodded: "Just put it away."

After finishing speaking, he quickly got on his horse and chased the carriage. The group of people quickly left the village and entered the city gate before it closed at night.

They went straight back to the inn where they lived.

Bai Zhanfeng also came in, and Tian Jing looked at him: "Aren't you going back?"

"I want to know, what clues did this guy find?" Bai Zhanfeng was particularly interested in what Jin Buhuan found: "Tell me, find me a room after talking, and I will stay here for one night."

"If you don't go back, isn't your family worried?" Jing Tian said happily, "I'll come to you in the middle of the night."

"When I passed by the city gate, I told the servant next door to my house who worked at the city gate that I would investigate the case with you at night, so I won't go back." Bai Zhanfeng was happy: "My wife must rest assured, let's talk about it later. , this is a serious job for me."
