Ding Tian's Ancient Life

That night, while lying on the bed and chatting before going to bed, Ding Tian told Wang Zuo about the Leifu case.

Originally, it was just a trivial matter at work. Although Ding Tian couldn't understand some things about Wang Zuo, if Wang Zuo started nagging, Ding Tian would still act as a trash can for him and let him talk to his heart's content.

As for Ding Tian, ​​he is also willing to have some short stories with Wang Zuo's parents. He can't just have sex every time they meet, and talk about eating and drinking when they go to the kang, right?

The way for every couple to get along is to constantly integrate into each other's lives.

So Ding Tian also told Wang Zuo some interesting things in the cell, or his trivial matters at work. Unexpectedly, after Wang Zuo heard about this, he became interested: "Oh? Xu Shangshu entrusted you to Jin for the matter of the Lei family. ?”

"You also heard about this matter?" Ding Tian was surprised.

On weekdays, Wang Zuo was busy with things. Although Ding Tian didn't know what they were, they were probably all big things. Big cases costing millions of taels of silver and so on were completely different from those of a small official like him.

Unexpectedly, a busy man like Wang Zuo would know about a sudden death case like his wife's in Lei Mansion?

"This matter is not a secret at all, but, you know, the women who come out of the building have limited means. I am a little surprised that they are so powerful, and dare to blatantly blame the wife in charge." Wang Zuo really Knowing this: "Also, Lei Ming has become a third-rank official now, but he hasn't even seen him once."

"The emperor doesn't want to see him?" Ding Tian guessed: "Is there something wrong with him...?"

The third-rank official, logically speaking, can enter the palace to see His Majesty at any time, but...either Lei Ming didn't go to ask to see him, or...Emperor Yongqing avoided seeing him.

Out of sight, out of mind?

"The emperor always wants to see whoever he wants to see, and he will see whoever he doesn't want to see. Even if he enters the palace every day and waits for him, it's just waiting for nothing." Wang Zuo told Ding Tian: "Lei Ming doesn't even think about it. Without his eldest son, he would have to continue to idle. Fu is at home."

How wonderful is the place in Fujian and Zhejiang!

Not to mention the beautiful mountains and rivers, it is also a land of fish and rice. Let's see what Lei Ming has done as a governor?

It's fine to get involved with a woman from the brothel Chuguan. She used half of her wealth to redeem her, and later became a concubine.

When Lei Ming was able to ascend to the throne, it was because the emperor thought that he could marry a general and tiger girl in his capacity as a civil servant, and he was an enlightened scholar.

That's why he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Who knows, the success is also on the woman, and the failure is also on the woman.

Ding Tian had a clue in his mind, and the two chattered for half a night before falling asleep.

The next day, early in the morning, after breakfast, Wang Zuo went to work, while Ding Tian waited at the door with his people. After a while, Jin Buhuan's carriage arrived at the door of his house. After the two met, they went to the door together. Poor, after being ordered in the prison, I packed up my things, took people, drove three carriages, one for each person, and one for storing things, and went straight to Leifu.

Leifu is located on Ziguang Street, Hongyi Lane.

Ziguang Street is like the bullfighting street where Ding Tian lives now. Purple is the color of court clothes that only first and second rank officials are eligible to wear.

color.

Vermilion is the color of official uniforms worn by senior officials of the third rank.

Red is the color of official uniforms worn by officials of the fourth rank.

That's why it's called "Red Clothes Lane" because most of the people living here are civil servants of the third and fourth ranks.

"Red" is the color of their clothes, whether it is vermilion or true red, so this place is called "Red Clothes Lane".

The Lei family's mansion in Hongyi Lane is very large. There are two majestic stone lions at the entrance. The vermilion gate, the copper nails on the door are shining, and the door knocker is even more shiny. It is obvious that people often touch...or knock on the door. move?

These are surrounded by high-ranking official residences, there are not many people coming and going, and they are all quiet, with high walls, and occasionally there are a few servants who come in and out, and they are all well-dressed and clean.

Moreover, the gates of every household are guarded by gates, which are so easy that ordinary people dare not lean on them.

The group of them looked like they had status. Although Ding Tian didn't show off his guard of honor, the guards that Wang Zuo provided him were not ordinary people at first glance.

The doorman of Lei's family looked at the person in front of him and was a little dazed: "Did you come to visit so early?"

"My lord is busy. After this visit, I have to go to Prince Ning's Mansion. Also, Prince Duan is also waiting in the mansion." Wang Ershi opened his mouth and started talking nonsense: "I can come here because of your young master. In terms of face, understand? Don’t rush to open it

Middle door, let us in? "

Ding Tian sniffed, and asked Wang Dashi who was helping him off the carriage: "Is your younger brother a student of Brother Fugui?"

"Really?" Wang Dashi said with a smile, "Er Shi is excited."

Sure enough, when the doorman heard it, he was stunned immediately, and was hit on the head by two big names from the palace, and his legs were weak: "Please come in!"

, please come in, the little one is going to report, this is going to report! "

As soon as the door opened, she turned around, and Sa Yazi ran in, forgetting to greet someone to receive the distinguished guest.

After Ding Tian got out of the car, Wang Ershi came back proudly: "Young Master Tian, ​​please!"

"You're so arrogant, why don't I know?" Seeing Wang Ershi's complacent look, Ding Tian immediately scolded with a smile. "Young Master Tian, ​​you don't know that this kind of family has a pair of dog eyes, and everyone looks down. You are kind and polite to him, but he thinks that you are afraid of him." Wang Ershi nodded and bowed. He laughed and said: "Only be more stubborn. People like them who have just entered Beijing have no knowledge. As long as they are frightened a little, their legs will soften. This trick is very effective."

"I see." Ding Tian patted him on the shoulder: "Next time, don't talk about the matter with the two palaces, just go directly to the palace, that has a bigger background."

Wang Ershi stuck out his tongue immediately: "The little one doesn't dare to lie there. Last time, the father-in-law Xiaomi told the little one that if he dared to go out and talk nonsense, he would let the little one go in to serve him..."

Ding Tian laughed loudly, going in, that is, going into the palace, to be a eunuch?

The door opened, and as soon as they came in, a young man came out. This young man was not well-dressed, but he had a good bearing and a handsome appearance. When you saw him, you could know what it meant to be "poetic and scholarly." Hua".

But this one, with deep frown and a sad face, saw Ding Tian and the others come in, but he cupped his hands and asked politely, "Are you Ding Tian? Master Ding?"

"My official is Ding Tian, ​​and this is Jin Jia, Mr. Jin." Ding Tian admitted himself, and then pointed to Jin Buchang, and introduced him.

"Oh, Master Ding, Master Jin." The young man was very polite: "Lei Jiahao, he is the eldest son of Lei, are you two here?" "I handed over the name card yesterday." Jin Buhuan asked him: "Don't you Do you know? We are here to investigate the case, and you haven't answered."

This is the tacit understanding of the big family in Beijing. If you don't answer, it means you know it, or you acquiesce.

Lei Jiahao was stunned: "Fifth? Fifth!"

"Hey, here we come, young master!" A middle-aged man ran over: "Young master."

"Someone sent a famous post yesterday?" Lei Jiahao asked him, "Why didn't I know?"

Lao Wu was taken aback: "Have you sent all the famous posts yesterday to the master?"

"To my father?" Lei Jiahao understood: "Go down."

"Yes, Eldest Young Master." Lao Wu took two steps, saw Lei Jiahao still standing there, and sighed in his heart, did the Master not give Eldest Young Master any face?

"Come in, maybe my father...is busy with business, so he forgot about it." As a son of man, Lei Jiahao couldn't say that his father was wrong, he could only make excuses for his father, and he had to find a good one.

Knowing that what he said was an excuse, but both Ding Tian and Jin Buhuan were considerate and did not point it out: "Master Lei is very, very busy." "The two of you please." Lei Jiahao invited them to sit inside, then turned his head and ordered people to serve tea and drinks. Snacks, welcome guests.

The first entrance to Lei's house is the living room, which is very large, and the left and right sides are connected to form a large living room. The furniture made of Jiangnan ash wood is full of the graceful style of Jiangnan.

"The two adults are here to investigate... the case of Mrs. Lin Ru?" Lei Jiahao was a little confused: "Mrs. Lin Ru... died suddenly... one corpse and two lives...."

Seeing him like this, Ding Tian couldn't help asking: "Mr. Lei, you and Mrs. Lin Ru...?"

"Oh, you two, don't get me wrong." Lei Jiahao said, "Ms. Lin Ru is the concubine chosen by my mother for my father, and she was my father's former maid. She coaxed me when I was young." , I still remember that when I was five years old, during the Dragon Boat Festival, she gave me a very beautiful five-poison hydrangea, which was very beautiful. Hey, she passed away, and my mother was also very sad."

"But that's not what it says in the case file." Jin Jia took out the file very generously and handed it to Lei Jiahao: "This is the template copied by my lord, please have a look."

Lei Jiahao was stunned: "Isn't this in compliance with the rules? I don't need to look to know it. I may be one of the people involved in the case..." "You are not bad." Ding Tian nodded: "Familiar with the legal provisions."

"To tell you the truth, although I'm a second-class biologist, I want to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice most, and I like cases more." Lei Jiahao smiled: "It's just that I just passed the exam and I'm on vacation."

According to the regulations of the imperial court, after the examination, there is a three-month family leave, Jinshi can go back to their hometowns, not to mention Glory Township, some people take the opportunity to go home to reunite with their families, or move their families to Beijing... and other trivial matters .

Lei Jiahao doesn't have to go back to his hometown because his family lives in Beijing.

But he wasn't peaceful either. The backyard of the family was never quiet, and someone died. The young Young Master Lei had supported his mother, younger brothers and sisters.

Father?

Ha ha!

"You'd better take a look." Jin Jia handed him the file: "After reading it, we can talk about it."

With a suspicious look on his face, Lei Jiahao took the file, opened it and read it, the more he looked, the uglier his face became.

Ding Tian and Jin Jia looked at each other, and saw a gleam of interest in each other's eyes, which disappeared in a flash.

"This..." After reading it, Lei Jiahao smiled wryly: "I didn't expect it to be a suspect, but this is the messenger." "I think, go and ask the person who reported the crime." Ding Tian said: " After all, what the reporter said is the first confession."

"This, I'm afraid it's inconvenient." Lei Jiahao said: "The person who reported the case is the second housekeeper at home, and the person who asked him to report the case is the person in my father's room. This is inconvenient."

As he said that, he touched the coffee table... In fact, he just touched the tea bowl or was thirsty, picked up the tea bowl and drank some tea to moisten his throat, but they couldn't touch it.

After talking for a long time, the tea and snacks did not come up.

There was not even a single person to say hello. In the whole hall, except for Ding Tian and Jin Buchang, it seemed that Lei Jiahao was the only one left in the Lei family.

Lei Jiahao's face was livid.

What does it mean?

Hongguoguo's contempt?

At this time, a person who often dressed up said timidly at the door: "Eldest young master, the butterfly beside Madam sent a message from the second gate... Madam wants to see the two adults who are coming."

"My mother?" Lei Jiahao said with a gloomy face, "If it's really my mother's intention, let my mother send one of the four maids around her to tell me personally."

He is afraid that someone will deceive him.

Chang Sui shrinks his neck and slips away.

Young Master Lei was left sulking, and Ding Tian and Jin Buhuan didn't even have a cup of tea.

The atmosphere was very dull, but after a while, a well-dressed maid turned around from behind: "Eldest young master, madam has invited two adults to talk to you inside."
