Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Now that the clothes they wore during the murder were found and the stolen goods were recovered, the group did not delay. After arresting the man, the two witnesses were also taken away. Of course, the witness allowed them to go back and say hello, and even Bai Zhanfeng also said Yes, the case is solved, as witnesses, they may get Xie Yin from the Cai family.

This is a bit of nonsense.

Can the Cai family give Xie Yin?

However, the two felt that they were almost inseparable, and happily followed them to be witnesses.

Ding Tian asked him in a low voice: "Are you sure...the Cai family can give it to Xie Yin?"

As one of the few people who knew that Ms. Cai's family was pregnant when she died, the Cai family couldn't even cover it up. Why did they prevent a thorough investigation?

Isn't it because you are afraid of being overthrown?

These days, it is not easy to build a reputation. It even takes several generations of hard work to have a good reputation, but it is very easy to destroy a good reputation.

Who knew that Bai Zhanfeng said indifferently: "I just said it's possible, but I didn't guarantee it."

Ding Tian finally knew why the common people always said "official characters with two mouths", this is really...he said it anyway.A group of people hurried back to the county seat. The city gate was not closed yet, but it was almost there. After entering the county seat, the group went straight to the county government office.After the city gate was closed, some people went to Cai's house in the dark.

In the county government office, the same lights were brightly lit. Although the county magistrate of Baiyun County was off work, he still received them: "For this matter, the city gate will be opened early tomorrow morning to let you go to the government office. This case... oh !"

To put it bluntly, he also knew something inside, but he didn't know that Yun Huaqing was wronged, because Yun Huaqing himself pleaded guilty.What's more, even the witnesses said that Yun Huaqing had indeed climbed the embroidery tower of his daughter.

This is related to the reputation of the girl, even if she is dead, she can't help but care about her affairs.

"Thank you, my lord!" Bai Zhanfeng cupped his fists, he really thanked you, otherwise, if your lord tried the case locally, he would be really afraid that the Cai family would make another move.

As a local head catcher, he didn't participate in the investigation of this case, but let his catcher take the lead. Even after he came back, he was not allowed to see the case.

why?

Just because I was afraid that he would see something.

It's all right now, the people from the government office have come, and adults can't help them to investigate and collect evidence again.

What's more, you have some witnesses, and the people from Fucheng also investigated the witnesses and physical evidence, and even captured the murderer.

This case has already been taken over by the government office, even if he wanted to intervene, he would have no chance.

"Go!" The magistrate of Baiyun County waved his hand: "Treat them well, temporarily stay...in that inn, don't live in the county government."

"I know." Bai Zhanfeng understood very well.

As soon as they went out, they took them to the inn where they lived through the back door. When they arrived, they explained a few words and put all the evidence in the carriage of the inn, and the witnesses lived in a room alone.

In the evening, there was only hot water for washing, and no food was ordered, because it was already very late after all the tossing.

After Jin Buhuan washed up, he went to look at Ding Tian again: "I guess, there must be someone from Cai's family there to inquire about news at night."

"We will leave tomorrow when the city gate opens." Ding Tian said, "When we arrive in Fucheng, there will be nothing for the Cai family."

What the Cai family can influence is within the scope of Baiyun County, but Fucheng is out of reach of their family.

"Tomorrow?" Jin Buhuan thought about it for a while, and said surprisingly: "I want to leave in the middle of the night, but I'm afraid I won't be able to leave tomorrow. If the Cai family can send someone to hunt down the nanny and Lan Lan's little maid, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry, and I'll be right. We are disadvantaged."

Ding Tian was dumbfounded: "Isn't it?"

"You don't understand how much scholars care about their reputation, not to mention things like getting pregnant out of wedlock, it's not uncommon even for widowed watchmen." Jin Buhuan sighed: "People like them would rather have a girl as a watchman." If they are widowed, their reputation will not be damaged. They have lived for their fame for generations, so what is it for their daughters to suffer? There must be no blemishes on their reputation."

Widowed, just not married, engaged, the man dies, the woman enters the door with a memorial tablet, pays homage to the big rooster, and then keeps mourning for the man in plain clothes and white clothes until the end of old age.

This is a model of "chaste and martyrdom". In some places, it is very popular. After keeping it for a lifetime, the imperial court will award the local chastity memorial archway to show the deeds of chastity.

is one of the most feudal things.

It is also the most desolate tragedy. A young girl in her twenties and eight years is not even a young wife. She has never even met her husband, so she has to be a filial piety for him for the rest of her life.

This is incomprehensible in modern times. Even now, some people get married and get divorced, and some get married several times and get divorced several times. There are also countless extramarital affairs and extramarital affairs.

But in ancient times, they would all be locked in pig cages and sink into ponds!

A man can have three wives and four concubines, but if a woman dares to be promiscuous, she is courting death.

It doesn't matter if she dies when the time comes, all the women in the family will suffer and be looked down upon.

"Fuck!" Ding Tian was angry: "What is this called?"

"The Cai family is afraid that they will come hard, and if they don't admit it at that time, we will suffer. It is one thing to save a little trouble." Jin Buhuan said: "If we leave in the middle of the night, we must hurry and hope that we can make up at home in Fucheng tomorrow. Sleep."

If you leave in the middle of the night, you can reach Fucheng at noon the next day.

If they arrive during the day, they can enter the city directly, and once they are sent to the government office, they will be safe and they can rest.

"Can this work?" Ding Tian said, "I'm afraid the Cai family will go to the county government now. Their family is a local snake, and it is too obvious to go out of the city in the middle of the night?"

"That's right, their family..." Jin Buhuan scratched his head: "Then what should we do?"

He is a man full of wit, but there is also a saying that says that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a snake, and that "in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and schemes are paper tigers".

If the Cai family is really desperate to protect their reputation, the scholars will go crazy, but they can really do anything.

Think about the scars on Yun Huaqing's body.

I knew that at that time, the Cai family wanted him to be tortured to death.

It's a pity, Yun Huaqing survived, and the people in the prison didn't dare to kill him for fear of being held accountable.

Otherwise, Yunhua would have finished playing early in the morning.

"I have a solution!" Ding Tian clenched his fists: "I will definitely be able to knock on the city gate and leave in the middle of the night."

They plotted the time to leave here, and in the backyard of the county government, the magistrate of Baiyun County was also receiving the Cai family.

Ever since someone said that they brought people back to the county government, people from their family came to inquire and found out that those people who went out had returned to the county with suspects, witnesses, physical evidence, and stolen goods.

Immediately, they rushed to the county government office.

As a result... it took a long time to see the county magistrate.

They are scholars, and they are very particular. When they met, they greeted each other, then served tea, sipped tea, and a maid brought two plates of dim sum. It is a jujube kernel yam cake made of jujube kernels mixed with yam powder and wrapped in glutinous rice flour. It nourishes the lungs, nourishes qi and nourishes the blood. It is most suitable for this dry late autumn. There is also dried wild pork from the north, which tastes good too. ...."

Master Cai took one and tasted it reservedly: "Well, the idea is clever."

"Try this tea again, but the Pu'er tea from Yunnan, the ten-year-old Pu'er tea cake, tastes mellow..."

The two chatted for a long time about tea, snacks, pork jerky, and felt that they had already played enough, so they turned to the topic.

"I heard that there is progress in my family's case? I don't know what progress is? Then Yun Huaqing has pleaded guilty, why...?" Master Cai was very unhappy. In order to kill Yun Huaqing, an eyesore, he He was also the murderer who indirectly killed his daughter. He gave this person a lot of gifts, including a letter of money alone, and it cost countless money to manage.

Why did something unexpected happen when it was supposed to be a surefire thing?

"People from Fucheng came to handle this case, and Bai Zhanfeng was just a slave. They came back just now, but they left after saying hello." The county magistrate of Baiyun County stroked his beard and said, "As for where he went, I really don't know." Know."

"Oh?" Master Cai didn't believe it: "Shouldn't I tell you? You submitted this case?"

"It's because it has already been submitted, so I can't ask any more questions." The magistrate of Baiyun County said very calmly: "Otherwise, what will the lord above think of me?"

After all, Mr. Cai is just a Juren and has never been an official. Otherwise, how could he say such a thing?

"This is really... embarrassing for you." Master Cai wiped his sweat: "Then where do they live?"

"Huh?" The magistrate of Baiyun County looked at him a little defensively.

"I thought, he came all the way to investigate the case for my daughter, and at least let my Cai family do my part as a landlord..." It sounds good, but I just want to know where they live, or... .

"I'm not sure about this. They stayed outside. Who knows if it's at someone's house or an inn?" Baiyun County

The county magistrate said: "I'm sure I'm too lazy to inquire. It would be great if I didn't come to the county government to make a fuss. You don't know. I heard that they ate meat and drank wine today, and spent five taels of silver! This It almost catches up with the daily expenses of the entire county government.”

The county magistrate of Baiyun County began to complain. It was nothing more than the fact that after these "missions" came, he was not taken seriously as a county magistrate at all. In addition, there was His Royal Highness King Ning waiting for him at the foot of Baiyun Mountain outside the city gate. They go out early and return late every day to pay their respects, and send meat and firewood...

After procrastinating for half a night, Master Cai was released. Master Cai still used the county office that he left after supper, and returned home as soon as he came out, calling his family members: "He is staying outside."

"It's easy!" Cai Juren said excitedly, "It's really not easy to live in the county office, but outside...in this county, it's our Cai family's land."

"Do it properly and see what evidence they have obtained. It's really not good...just deal with it. You will go to the capital to catch the exam next year. Your family must not have a flawed reputation. Once you win the Jinshi, you I will be an official in the future!" Master Cai said to Cai Juren: "There are also two of your younger brothers who will also be admitted to the Juren examination. If you are more up-to-date, there will be three Jinshi in one school, and the old man will die immediately, and he will have the face to see his ancestors. "

"Father, don't think too much about it. We didn't expect about my sister... well, it's fate!" Cai Juren said, "I'm going to Ada and the others to see if we can solve this matter. The Cai family must not let their reputation be tarnished!"

"You go!" Master Cai took a sip of warm water and didn't drink tea, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night: "Take care of it properly."

"Yes, father!" Cai Juren bowed his hands and went out.

"Father, that son has gone back too." Cai Xiucai took Cai Xiaoxiucai, and the two also bid farewell to their father and left.

Leaving Mr. Cai behind, he went back to the back hall and saw his wife touching a half-embroidered red hijab again: "Don't worry about it anymore." This red hijab was prepared for her daughter. Only a mandarin bird and water ripples are embroidered.

"Oh..." Mrs. Cai sighed: "Son and daughter are debts. I disagree with what the boss said at the beginning. You insist..."

"Okay!" Master Cai said displeased, "It was for her own good..."

"What's so good?" Mrs. Cai retorted: "Look at the end of the Ma family, how good is it? If it really happened in the first place, then it wasn't, the Ma family, it was our Cai family..."

"Shut up!" Master Cai growled angrily, "Are you trying to bring trouble on the family?"

Mrs. Cai hugged the red hijab and shed tears again: "My pure son...my good daughter...."
