Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"He was just confused." Liu Sen also realized this: "Besides, the Lin family also has a father and a mother. He thought...hehe, the family would not agree."

The topic shifted to Lin Qi.

"Lin Qi is not young anymore, and it's time to get married. Unfortunately, our girls here are not as beautiful as those maids." Cheng Da took a sip of wine: "But in my opinion, there are not many of those maids. The big girl with yellow flowers."

Cheng Da's eyesight is still there, so everyone is a man, so he just speaks out.

"Master is really..." Ding Tian didn't know what to say.

When Mr. Du was there, he felt that Mr. Du was not very good. Although he had the merits of defending the city, he was also not a clean and honest person. Lived very poor.

Few of the officials can keep up with that kind of poverty, so they have to look like officials anyway.

At least the shelf should be pulled up, and with the wife's "good at management", their family's life is not bad.

But in Ding Tian's view, he is still a "corrupt official", but this is a strange era, and he can't say anything."

But compared with Mr. Ma, he is really an "upright official".

Master Ma is much better than him!

Ding Tian really didn't understand, why would there be someone like Master Ma?

Officials, especially grassroots officials, are a very important part. In his era, the village officials were all college students and received higher education. Now, Mr. Ma is just a master who has not graduated from high school, managing a war Even the cleanest county town can control the smoky atmosphere here.

Who are these people?

Ding Tian was completely disappointed with the imperial court and the official system here.

The ancient officialdom is really dark!

As everyone knows, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Unfortunately, Ding Tian didn't know.

After the three of them ate and drank together, they returned to the yamen together. They ate everything and did not bring it back. After returning, they washed up, lay down on the warm kang, and fell asleep.

Sleeping on the hot kang in winter is simply a kind of enjoyment, and there is a fire wall next to it, which is very comfortable.

Well worth a deep sleep....

Just after he left with his two colleagues, there was another table next to the restaurant where they were eating, and they were paying the bill. After finishing the bill, the group returned to the inn.

This place is relatively familiar. It was the yard that Ding Tian also contracted back then. He used it to house his uncle and relatives and build a house for himself. Now, these people raise five or six good horses and three or five vehicles here. Carts, and some goods that are in short supply in the north.

It looks like a caravan. There are less than 20 guards and guards for the shopkeeper, but they are all tall and strong, and they are strong and fierce. At first glance, they are not easy to provoke. Also, in the Northland, there are only such merchants. Only then did they dare to walk around, and even dared to leave the customs to do business with foreigners, but the goods traded were limited in variety, and weapons and armor could not be traded, nor could food.

The innkeeper knew that they were businessmen, so he was not surprised. He arranged a good place for them, took good care of them, and provided necessities such as hot water.

These few people go out early and return late every day, and occasionally go out with goods, some come back, some don't, in short, the number of people has not decreased, and there are even more people coming in and out.

No one knows how many of them there are.

These people came back here and went directly to the east wing next to the main house. A middle-aged scribe, who was their shopkeeper, was waiting for them.

Although they are dressed as scribes, the scribes in the Northland have strong backs and fierce looks. Although such people are rare among scholars, they are definitely not uncommon.

The person in front of me is in such a situation. If it weren't for the fact that he was still holding a brush in his hand and calculating with the other hand, he would look more like a "grain table" in a bandit's den on the mountain than a shopkeeper.

(Liangtai is the person in charge of money and food in the bandit den, and there are also people called Qianliang Duozi...)

"Have you gained anything?" I didn't expect it at first, and I'm afraid it's another busy day when I come back so late, so I can't help but sigh in my heart.

"Yes!" Who knew that these people gave him a different answer.

"Huh?" The shopkeeper raised his head: "Really?"

There was an anxious look in his eyes, and there was a big blister on the side of his mouth, which showed that he was really anxious.

"When we were eating, we made a table next door. The people at this table were the prison chief and two government servants in the county government office. Listen to what they said..." Several people learned the dialogue of the three people, which made people feel uncomfortable. Surprisingly, one sentence was correct, neither added nor subtracted.

"So we brothers think that the prisoner who was escorted over in the middle of the night is probably..." The leader didn't say the whole thing: "Besides, among the three people, two of them are very similar to the person we are looking for."

"That little prison chief is right. County Magistrate Ma is not a capable official. The whole county knows about the troubles in his backyard. This county magistrate is a muddled official. I'm afraid his subordinates are also... Mr. Wang... is there anything wrong?" The leader was also very anxious: "We have lost news of Mr. Wang, and it has been almost ten days."

"In the cell of the county government... those people really dare to do it!" The scribe gritted his teeth: "Never mind, let's send a few people to check it out tonight. I heard that this county is newly built and everything is new. You pay attention.

"Yes!" Several people clasped their fists together.

After they left, another person came in. This person was the leader of the caravan's guards: "Is it possible?"

"I don't know either." The scribe shook his head: "A dead horse is a living horse doctor. As long as there is a little hope, we can't give up. If something happens to the prince, do you and I have the face to return to Beijing? Brothers, have the face." Do you see your ancestors after death?"

"My lord will be fine, that's my lord!" The guard leader said heavily.

The scribe's eyes were red: "Don't talk about despondency! The prince is a born noble person. He can turn bad luck into good fortune, and make disaster auspicious. The Wang family protects the prince, and the Wang family is full of loyalty, and the heroic spirit is not far away..."

The two people cheered each other up, and the scribe calmed down a bit: "Maybe they are right. The people who were escorted here in the middle of the night must be criminals, repeat offenders, and it is such a season, and I think they are daytime criminals." It's no wonder that we can't touch any traces, it's okay, these people!"

The last sentence was spoken through gritted teeth.

The head of the guard thought for a while: "Then let's touch it tonight. If it doesn't work, I'll fight on the street tomorrow and be locked up. I should be able to know what's inside."

"Alright." This is also a no-brainer.

If it hadn't been for the fact that smashing the jail and anti-prison is tantamount to rebellion, they would have rushed in long ago.

That night, there was no moonlight, only the howling north wind, which was bone-chillingly cold.

It is cold in the north, especially at night, it is so cold that people can freeze to death. Although these people are wearing night clothes, their activities are greatly reduced due to their bloated clothes. In addition, Ding Tian's attitude towards his own territory is not ordinary. I had raised two big dogs a long time ago, and the city wall was newly built. Master Du put in a lot of effort at the beginning, and it was all piled up with real materials. These people struggled outside for a long time before they touched it. , did not guard against a dog, the dog barked

Ding Tian woke up instantly!

He brightened the lights in the room a little, and sat up in a daze. The dog outside barked twice, but then fell silent.

"What are you doing?" He muttered and lay down again.

I drank a little wine today, and my head is already confused. The alcohol content is not high, and I look slightly drunk. It is the most comfortable to fall asleep. Who the hell is willing to get up in the middle of the night to go out for a walk?

Anyway, the dog didn’t bark anymore, Ding Tian thought very well, probably because there were three prisoners in the prison, and if there was any movement in the middle of the night, the dog’s hearing is much sharper than that of a human, and when he heard the movement bark twice, he couldn’t see it. When it comes to people, it stops.

Besides, the recidivist cell is a little far away from him. How stupid would he be to get dressed in the middle of the night and go to see the three prisoners?

Lie down and continue to sleep, as everyone knows, after the people outside flew into the sky and escaped, no prisoners were found in the outer cell!

The layout of Ding Tian's cell is normal. What's abnormal is that Ding Tian used the blind spot of human vision to put the ordinary cell into the entrance of the felon's cell and hide it so that it can be ignored during the day. A dark night?

Besides, aren't the cells in every county the same?

Because it is a county seat, the county magistrate has no right to sentence people to heavy punishments, beheadings, or even greater penalties. Just a little weathered case.

There is only one cell, absolutely no second.

As everyone knows, the cells here are carefully divided by Ding Tian, ​​and concealed with some modern techniques,

Ordinary prison cells are only that big, and you can see from the beginning to the end at a glance. The cell is empty, and the straw curtains are all hung up.

And because it is not easy for the county government to come in once...the main reason is that there are a lot of dogs... There is no way, Ding Tian has no manpower here, what should I do if I don't raise dogs to stand guard for him?

So besides Ding Tian, ​​there are six big dogs in the cell, three males and three females, all "bought" by Ding Tian from the old hunter's house when he was building the house, and they are all precious hunting dogs kept by the hunters in the mountains.

Ding Tian takes good care of the dogs. Every meal is broth mixed with cornmeal. Every now and then, he buys bits of minced meat or bones for the dogs to grind their teeth to keep their teeth sharp.

He also pointed to the six dogs to show him the cell.

The men in black outside tossed and tossed for half the night, but found nothing. Ding Tian got up early, they had no choice but to withdraw, Ding Tian didn't notice anything.

At dawn, Ding Tian got up.

Today is different from the past. In the past, there was no one in the prison, so he could do whatever he wanted. Now that there are people in the prison, he has to commute to and from get off work on time.

Get up early in the morning and clean yourself up first, prepare breakfast for yourself and the three people in the prison, breakfast is very simple.

Stick noodle porridge, thicker, he likes to drink thicker, put a little salt in it, very delicious.

However, when adding salt, he didn't put it on the flax seed. The food he prepared for the flax seed was light and salt-less. If people eat less salt, their strength will naturally decrease.

He was afraid that Hu Mazi would cause trouble, so he asked him to work harder, as long as he didn't die, it was fine.

Hot buns, shredded pickles fried in pork suet, Ding Tian also poured a pack of fried peanuts into the shredded pickles as a gift from the owner of the restaurant when he left yesterday.

Anyway, Ding Tian looked pretty good, with one breakfast per person, he took the food box and went to the recidivist cell.
