Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"You guys, please come inside." Ding Tian politely invited the adults to go inside: "Because today is a rest day, everyone is outside to protect themselves from the wind. Each person has two hours of wind time, and the rest of the time, rest and chat , or do what you like

situation. "

This is a benefit given by Ding Tian. Every month, there are two days of rest. Since the first and fifteenth day of the junior high school is the time for prison visits, this break has been changed to the third and eighteenth junior high.

Ding Tian took them to look at the cells one by one, and the small square in front of the cell, where someone happened to be letting the wind out.

Some people were chatting together, a few people were stretching their waists, and some gangsters were doing their moves. It seemed that the postures were very graceful, but the moves were sharper.

Because it’s early summer, everyone is wearing cropped trousers, straw sandals with three-quarter sleeves, and their hair is coiled up. No one has lice. Of course, there are new people who have shaved their heads, and some have half-length hair. Comb into a ponytail.

It looks refreshing too.

The most important thing is that on the walls of these places, there are slogans posted by Ding Tian: repent and rehabilitate;

Although it is extremely straightforward, it is very eye-catching when hung on the wall. Besides, Zi said Shi Yun, are these criminals worthy?

In fact, Ding Tian was thinking that he had problems understanding the classical Chinese of Zi Yue Shiyun, let alone these prisoners who did not know a single character.

After the prisoners came in, the jailers would point to the writing on the wall and tell them what it was. They generally understood it without much explanation.

However, Xu Shangshu still pointed to those words and said, "It's quite straightforward."

Ding Tian explained, and then said with a smile: "What's more, the sage said, what Confucius said, these people... don't

match. "

Well, I actually don't understand.

Ha ha... But after he said that, sure enough, all the adults are satisfied.

After all, they are all scholars. If the prisoner is like them, holding sage books or something, then the feeling will be different. In the end, it was lunch here in the prison.

Ding Tian said hello to them first: "Masters, there are no small stoves in this cell, only sick spots, which are used to cook and decoct medicines for sick mortals alone, so everyone eats work meals."

"Working meal... Well, that's a good name." Xu Shangshu was the first to express his understanding.

The others also followed his words and said that they knew.

Only then did Ding Tian start serving food.

Ding Tian had tidied up the cell long ago, and even the meals were divided into meals. There was a wooden tray with wooden plates on it.

Bowls and chopsticks etc.

The people in the kitchen pack up the meals, put them in, cover them, stack them up, and just move them away.

Today's work meal is very simple, two steamed buns for one person, a bowl of braised pork, a plate of sliced ​​sausage, a plate of spicy cabbage, and a plate of fried three shredded rice.

Fried Sansi is dried tofu shreds, bean sprouts and leeks.

The stir-fry is very delicious. This is fried in a small pot, and the big pot can only be stewed.

This kind of stir-fried vegetables can't be cooked in a big iron pot, and there is also a big bone soup in a bamboo tube, which is made from pork bone and chicken bone, and shredded cabbage is boiled in it for flavor.

There are meat, vegetables, soup, and staple food, with a combination of meat and vegetables.

Looking at the simple food in front of him, Xu Shangshu asked Ding Tian: "What do the prisoners eat this afternoon?"

"Today's food for the prisoners is steamed buns with noodles, two for each person, a bowl of braised pork, a dish of spicy cabbage, and the same soup as ours." Ding Tian said: "The soup can be continued, but the others cannot."

For soup, it’s a matter of adding two ladles of water.

But the food is not good, the daily food is rationed, and the jailers will recycle the leftovers, and the leftover food will be sent to beggars outside the city before it breaks... It is impossible for beggars to exist in the inner city Yes, there are actually not many in the outer city, and Daqing's rule is good. Although it is not to say that there are no beggars, they are rare.

Generally, there is no leftover, and I don't know why these prisoners can eat so much.

"Well, not bad." Xu Shangshu moved his chopsticks: "Everyone eat, this is the working meal in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Everyone was happy: "Eat, eat!"

Xu Shangshu took a mouthful of steamed buns first, the rich noodle fragrance and soft taste.

I ate another mouthful of braised pork, which was soft and rotten, with a lot of oil and water; I also ate a mouthful of meat sausage, although it was served cold, it was full of flavor.

Another bite of stir-fried three silks, um, crisp and refreshing.

Eat one piece of braised pork... a little bit of oil, and another bite of stir-fried three shredded... soup....

Before I knew it, I ate all the food, and then some soup slipped through....

The same goes for the others, who didn't expect the food in the prison to be so delicious.

"I thought the food in the cell was corn bread!" One of the officials wiped his mouth after eating, and said, "No

Think of vegetables and meat. "

What I said, those who didn't know thought that Ding Tian did it on purpose, and it also implied that the treatment in the cell was too good?

Wang Kui answered: "Your Excellency does not know, before Master Ding came, our place was indeed a mess, every year and festival

Eating a steamed bun is not bad, only on the side of the death row, can there be meat... "

The faces of the others changed... Death row?

"However, after Master Ding came, we launched labor reform and education activities here. The prisoners are no longer idle and have nothing to do. They all have to work. They can't point at the court for everything. They have made mistakes in the first place. People, do you still need the court to support them? The taxes and food paid by the common people are not so expensive.” Wang Kui spoke more forcefully than Ding Tian: “Now they only spend one-third of the court’s grain and grass, and the remaining two-thirds , You have to support yourself, this place is the prison of our Ministry of Punishment, not a place for the elderly and young masters, whoever doesn't work, can only eat corn bread."

"I just think... the food is not bad..." The official blushed, he just wanted to stab him, not really what to do.

Although he himself understands it this way, who knows what he means?

"Of course it's not bad. This is created by our colleagues in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. By the way, the superiors will give us this year's supplies. I don't know if the adults know it? When will it be given?" Wang Kui spoke very hastily. : "It's been almost half a year.,,

No provision was allocated for the first half of the year, and it's almost the second half of the year. What's the matter, have to give it all?

Everyone looked at the official who spoke just now. That official is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment. He is responsible for the allocation and distribution of logistics.

In fact, Ding Tian knew about this because there were people in the Prison Division of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but Wang Deyong said that he had applied for several times, and the things allocated to the prison were withheld.

And what the prince meant was that he would be dealt with sooner or later.

So Wang Deyong told Wang Kui, and Wang Kui already knew that there was no shortage of supplies in the prison managed by Ding Tian, ​​but he couldn't wait half a year.

Be sure to ask for it.

"What's going on?" Xu Shangshu looked at the official who spoke: "Last time I asked you, you said that all the rations have been paid, why is there still room for them? How can such an important place as the prison not be issued for half a year? Do you want the prisoners to starve to death? Or do you want them to break the prison and rebel against the prison?"

"Xiaguan...Xiaguan will go to investigate when I turn around, just go to investigate!" The man's face was pale and cold sweat flowed out.

In fact, after he opened his mouth just now, he thought, if the conditions here are so good, then can we not give the allowance?

Saving a fortune is a fortune.

Who knew someone would bring it up in person!

In fact, he has only been here for two years, so he doesn't know how deep the water in the Ministry of Justice is.

Just seeing other people hugging money made me feel itchy, and I didn't expect to kick the iron plate all of a sudden.

"I don't want to come back next time. I heard that the provisions have not been paid yet." Xu Shangshu was very upset. The reforms here have been so good, but they have withheld the provisions and did not give them. What a loss.

However, they were very satisfied with Ding Tian's errands. After returning, they specially rewarded Ding Tian with a new set of official uniforms, which were bought for him with money from the Ministry of Punishment.

And within two days, the supplies arrived!

Wang Kui was more thoughtful. He parked the supplies on the street and checked them one by one. It doesn’t matter if the food is old food, but it can’t be mixed with sand. The cloth can also be in primary colors. Batik and embroidery are not required, but it must be wearable. , don't suck that

A kind of rag that can be torn when poked.

Fortunately, he did this. The last two carts of twenty carriages of grain were found to be unqualified by him, and he sent them back on the spot: "We won't take this kind of grain."

The person who came to give it away was sweating profusely: "This... This is not what we brought when we left the warehouse."

When they came out, they were all good things, why was this changed?

In fact, this kind of exchange is very common, but the other party carefully checks in front of them, which prevents them from fooling around

"I don't care how you did it, if it's unqualified, it won't be accepted, or you can pull it back?" Wang Kui fanned the fan, "Next time you come, check it like this."

The other party had nothing to do, let alone take things back, so they had to exchange two carts of good food.

Only then did Wang Kui let them go. The things were counted and put into the warehouse, and the gentleman at the accountant made the account books. There were more materials in the prison and more confidence.

As for Ding Tian, ​​he was in the pharmacy with Jin Buhuan.

Jin Buhuan was working on some medicinal powders: "Mosquitoes are here, make some medicinal powders to repel mosquitoes, and that wormwood....

"

The two discussed the matter of disinfecting the cell and repelling mosquitoes.

Three days later, Ding Tian sent the documents to the yamen of the Ministry of Justice, but encountered a case. Xu Shangshu was worrying about it. The old man was quite nice, so Ding Tian asked, "Why are you worrying?"

"A strange case happened." Xu Shangshu frowned: "This one is more difficult."

He generously handed the dossier to Ding Tian: "Let's take a look."

Ding Tian took it, and after looking at it for a while, he also frowned: "It's so obvious, why is it so strange? You need witnesses, and you need witnesses."

Physical evidence, physical evidence, how complete? "

"Because it's too complete, if something goes wrong, it must be a demon." Master Xu said: "Which case can be found out without investigation and evidence collection? Which prisoner would be so thorny? Besides, this person who is accused of being a prisoner is not right. That woman didn't threaten him at all, so there was no reason to poison him? What's more, she was caught with witnesses and physical evidence... Isn't this murderer a bit stupid? But the murderer is Erjia Chuanlu."

"Then send someone to investigate." Ding Tian said, "Let's review it."

"Hmm..." Master Xu thought for a while, "Are you interested in reviewing this case?"

Ding Tian was taken aback: "Why did you choose the next official?"

"Actually, before you came, I was thinking of suitable candidates." Xu Shangshu said happily, "Other people can go, but I am afraid that their status will not be able to overwhelm that Lord Lei, so it will be different if you go. In addition to being an official, you still have a title, no matter how arrogant he is, he doesn’t have a title, if you go, he dare not disagree, if someone else goes, I’m afraid they won’t even be able to enter the gate.”

What's more, Ding Tian is still a "celebrity". In some teahouses in central Beijing, the storyteller compiled "Fifteen Romances" into a book and said it several times.

The matter of Ding Tian's rescue is still somewhat legendary. The more high-ranking officials in Beijing, the more they can understand that Emperor Yongqing valued Ding Tian.

So they are more willing to give Wang Zuo a face, he takes care of Ding Tian, ​​they also take care of Ding Tian, ​​and they can get a favor from Emperor Yongqing...

"Okay!" Ding Tian was also interested in this matter: "Then the official will go back and call someone. Mr. Buchang will be the deputy of the official. We are still very interested in the case."

"Isn't it worth the money? I've heard about him. The test questions in Beifeng Mansion's township examination were leaked the year before last. You two solved the case, right?" Xu Shangshu smiled more honestly: "Your name is like thunder."
