"Where was I last night? I was with Dong'er last night. But how can I say it. Everyone is sparkling with gold and accumulating and ruining bones...... "Ding Hao's gaze swept over those idlers and scoundrels, and from the eyes of those ordinary peasants, but they might as well be curious, and his shaking heart suddenly fell.

She is kind, but cowardly. She loves herself and values her face and reputation more than her life. When she married into the Dong family, she was still a child who had not fully grown up, and her fear of Dong Li had become an instinct that penetrated deep into her bone marrow. Does she have the courage to break through the invisible web woven by the ideas she has nurtured since childhood, the cynicism of her neighbors, and the fear of Dong Lee's exhaustion, and stand up and admit that she is with me? Even if...... Even if she admits it, I'm afraid she won't have the courage to live, for her, a girl who is afraid of everything, but not afraid of death, maybe she will choose............ Ding Hao didn't dare to think about it anymore. At that time, it was not modern, and if we were not in the center, it was impossible to imagine how great and huge the binding force of those intangible things had on people. And he is now in this era.

Ding Hao couldn't believe that Luo Dong'er, a widowed little woman, had the courage to bear so many white eyes and so much gossip? She is like a small grass, what she needs is the pity and care of others, but she is not a big tree that can shelter from the wind and rain, independent and strong. When I asked for her body, I promised in her ear that in this life, I would pity her and love her, and not let her suffer a trace of wrongs for me, but now I want her to come out and bear this gossip and Dong Li's beatings and insults?

Ding Hao was stunned for a long time, Yang's face gradually showed panic, with the appearance of Master Ding, almost all the subordinates of the entire Ding Mansion gathered here, they had Ding Mansion's domestic servants, long-term and short-term workers, and there were aunts and aunts in the village who worked in Ding's Mansion, all of them looked at him with blank eyes...... "Son, you say, you tell the big guy, you were not in the room last night, where did you go?" ”

"I ...... When I came back yesterday, I saw that the eldest young master was seriously ill, and I was very troubled, and it was difficult to fall asleep after tossing and turning, so I ...... So he went out for a walk and took a walk. ”

Ding Chengye sneered: "Scattered? Ha! You've learned from the literati and the. When did you leave the house, and which door saw you go out, and wouldn't have been out all night, right? Can you find a witness who saw your whereabouts? ”

"I can't, that's my personal **."

As soon as he said this, even Ding Yuluo couldn't help but shake his head, in this era, who will respect your personal **. In their opinion, the eldest husband is above board, what can't be said and listened to?

Ding Chengye laughed and said, "**? Hahaha, that's ridiculous! But all private matters are mostly unseemly deeds. If you say that you have been wronged, then I will ask you what private things are more important than the charge of slavery and adultery with your master's mother, that you would rather bear this grievance than speak out. ”

"Absolutely." A smile appeared on the corner of Ding Hao's mouth, and he said softly and clearly: "There are many people and many things in this world, and in another person's heart, it is more important than his own innocence, safety, and life. But people like you will never understand. ”

Liu Shiyi couldn't help but say: "Clever words, if you don't dare to say it with a weak heart, you are stupid." ”

Ding Hao said lightly: "Perhaps, when a person goes from young to old, he always has to do a few stupid things." ”

Ding Tingxun had been looking at him coldly, and when he heard this, he was finally disappointed: "Ding Hao, in this way, do you want to defend yourself, you admit your crime?" ”

Ding Hao said proudly: "I didn't admit it, I said that I was not in the room last night, and I was doing a private thing that was only related to me." I don't have to say it, your so-called evidence can't condemn me for this. Since ancient times, it has been a common technique to plant dirt and frame it. ”

Ding Tingxun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Who will frame you, why did you come?" ”

Ding Hao said-for-tat: "Master Ding is smart, you just have to think about it carefully, you should know who has a reason to harm me, why do you need to ask me?" ”

Ding Tingxun was slightly stunned, and after a little thought, he understood the meaning of his words, and a wave of anger immediately rose in his heart: This little beast has harmed my Zong'er, and he has to provoke me and Ye'er.

Ding Tingxun's eyes were cold, and his face became stunned: "Ding Hao, the human and physical evidence, the old man has all the evidence, and you can't tell your whereabouts last night, although the old man didn't catch you on the spot, but I believe that no one dares to say that it is unfair to condemn you." You have to think clearly, where were you last night, can you have a witness? ”

Ding Hao said loudly: "Master Ding, I have nothing to say to you. Since you think I'm guilty, please take me to the government. ”

Ding Hao didn't want Dong'er to be embarrassed, his innocence was damaged, so he refused to say anything about the tryst with her. One of the reasons is that he thinks that Ding Tingxun will not dare to use lynching, the Ding family is the richest man in Bazhou, and he has a big move, and he can't help but have scruples about his every move. As long as they tie themselves up to the official mansion, they can privately inform the county lieutenant Zhao that the dignified court officials will not talk about the affairs of these children, as long as he detains Dong'er in private and asks for clarification, he can clear his name.

Ding Tingxun saw that he was so vague about where he went last night, and when he said that he was sent to the official mansion but had no fear, his heart couldn't help but sink, and Yan Jiu's words couldn't help but come to mind: "Master, I heard that Ding Hao has a very good relationship with Zhao County Lieutenant, and this person has no fear, so he may not be willing to recruit him." According to the old slave, maybe he was looking at the old man and sent him to the government to punish him, and at that time, the county lieutenant Zhao would find a way to exonerate him. ”

"Daddy, this little beast has nothing to fear, and we don't dare to torture him. If he doesn't make a ruthless meal, he will not give in. Ding Chengye said, snatched a whip from his hand, jumped in front of Ding Hao, and whipped it without a head or face.

Yang hurriedly grabbed it and said, "Second Young Master, don't hurt my son, he must have been wronged." ”

"Get out of here!" Ding Chengye kicked her away and shouted to Liu Shiyi: "Look at this crazy woman!" ”

Liu Shiyi and Gao Da hurriedly grabbed it and dragged the Yang clan away. Ding Tingxun wanted to stop it, but he just raised his hand, but he put it down, and his daughter-in-law was in danger of being humiliated, if it was just because of sex, it would be fine. But what is hidden behind this is related to the life and death of the Ding family, and it cannot be ignored.

He has not forgotten until now, the strange incident of the robbers encountered by the Ding family on the grain transportation road, and the traitor has not been found out until now. originally wanted to use Ding Hao to lure out that person, but who would have thought that it might be possible to harm Zong'er so miserably, but in the end it fell on him Ding Hao. Is it really him? If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do so many things alone, and the Ding family couldn't afford to toss anymore, so they had to find out who was behind the scenes.

Ding Chengye exerted his strength, the cowhide whip dipped in water, the clothes were tattered when it was pumped on the person's body, the skin was open and the flesh was open, and the blood was dripping, although Ding Hao was patient, every time the whip went down, it was still a convulsion. Ding Tingxun couldn't help jumping slightly when he saw the corner of his eyes, and Ding Yuluo begged: "Daddy......" "Shut up!" Ding Tingxun stopped and turned his head away from looking.

"Master spare your life, master, please, don't fight anymore, this kid can't talk honestly, but he won't lie."

Yang pounced to Ding Tingxun's feet, hugged his thighs and begged bitterly, her body was sick and weak, she had not healed, she had been frightened and anxious since last night, and now she was angry and bloody, and she had a huge pain in her heart and mouth from a hidden disease, and she fainted.

"Mother!" Ding Hao's eyes were cracked, he glared at Ding Tingxun fiercely, Ding Chengye was even more angry when he saw it, he waved the whip loudly, jumping and pumping hard, Ding Hao struggled with the rope, the muscles of his whole body were raised, and he just stared at Ding Tingxun deadly, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be about to spew fire. The whip whipped on his body like a piece of wood, it was still a rag flying up, and it was still flesh and blood, but he was completely unconscious, and there was no reaction Ding Yuluo was shocked in his heart, she is a person who practices martial arts, and knows that only people who have reached a very high level of martial arts can close themselves to the five senses and six senses, or concentrate on one knot, if ordinary people are not extremely sad and angry, they will never be able to close the five senses and six senses to such a state, only a pair of angry eyes remain, shooting the flames of the sky.

If it was really him, his heart would be empty, how could he have such a posture? Ding Yuluoruo said that because the human evidence and physical evidence were still a little suspicious, they had all been thrown out of the clouds at this moment, she threw herself and snatched the whip from Ding Chengye's hand, the more than ten layers of bamboo scorn were tied, and the extremely resilient whip was broken into two pieces by her hands.

"Daddy!"

Ding Yuluo screamed again, Ding Tingxun, who was originally like an old monk, moved slightly, he looked at the Yang family at his feet, the corners of Yang's lips were bloody, and his face was like gold paper, and it seemed that he was dying. Ding Tingxun couldn't help frowning, and ordered: "Help the Yang family aside, and treat Lang Zhongsheng." ”

Ding Yu burst into tears, and suddenly ran to Ding Tingxun, "Porphy" knelt down, and said with tears: "Daddy, my daughter once went to Guangyuan with Ding Hao to transport grain, and I know that his temperament is a human being, Ding Hao will never do such a thing, this matter must be strange, please Daddy to investigate." ”

Ding Chengzong sneered: "Sister, according to what you say, is the sister-in-law lying?" Could it be that Lan'er is lying? Am I lying? All people are lying, but you are the only one who knows his nature? Who else in Zhuangzi is so familiar with the residence of the eldest brother? Where was Ding Hao at the time of the incident? Why did Zhu Zhu'er sneak attack me when he heard that Ding Hao was being arrested, and escaped from the village? Why did the eldest brother get weaker and weaker after Ding Hao and Zhen Zhu'er were responsible for taking medicine for him, until he suddenly fell ill for no reason? One by one, you may understand it for him? ”

"I can't!" Ding Yuluo raised his head, looked directly at Ding Tingxun and said, "Daddy, now the human and physical evidence all point to Ding Hao. The eldest brother is Yuluo's most respected brother, and Yuluo also wants to find out the real culprit. Just ask Daddy to send Ding Hao to the government for correction, and ask the government to find out. ”

Ding Chengye said angrily: "The evidence is conclusive, what else do you need to investigate?" This Ding Haosu has colluded with the government, once he is sent to the official and is shielded by others, can he still be punished? My Ding family...... My Ding family has been suffering from natural disasters one after another, and has been criticized by the urban and rural gentry, and now it will become a joke in the mouths of people from all walks of life again? ”

Ding Tingxun rolled his eyes and asked, "Jiu'er, is this ...... What do you think? ”

Yan Jiu has been standing firmly behind Ding Tingxun, listening to his questioning, and then he leaned forward and said: "Master, if you go through the official mansion, I'm afraid this Ding Hao really has a plan to get out." But...... This Ding Hao first transported grain in Guangyuan, and then the government exonerated himself, which made a great contribution to my Ding family. It is really difficult to convince the public if you don't teach it. Besides, my Ding family is in such an eventful time, and many gentry are ready to move and want to replace them, if lynching is used, once it is reported, it will be a trouble after all. In this way, it is better to send it to the government for investigation. ”

Ding Yuluo knew that Yan Jiu had always been close to Chengye, but he never expected that he would agree with his opinion, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Ding Tingxun heard his most relied on henchman say the same, and he didn't feel a little moved. After Yan Jiu finished speaking, he retreated again, his eyes swept towards Lan'er, and Lan'er immediately exclaimed.

Ding Ting reprimanded: "What are you yelling nonsense? Unorthodox! ”

Lan'er said in a panic: "Master, when the servant saw Steward Ding looking at me, his eyes were very scary, as if he could hook the soul of the servant, and he was afraid in his heart, so he exclaimed in surprise, and hoped that the master would forgive his sins." She glanced at Ding Hao and said in a trembling voice: "The maid is an uninformed woman, and I don't know who is right and wrong, but I just heard the second young master mention the ups and downs of our Ding family, and the Yan steward mentioned the merits of the Ding steward, and suddenly remembered one thing......

Ding Tingxun frowned and said, "What did you think of?" ”

Lan'er swallowed her saliva, looked at Ding Hao, and said with some fear: "The maid remembered that our Ding family's wife has been peaceful and smooth sailing for 20 years, and there has never been any major incident, but since the end of last year, there have been constant turmoil, and things have gone wrong one after another. At that time, it was after Steward Ding faked his death and came back to life, and his temperament changed greatly. People in the village said that Steward Ding was a blessing in disguise and hit the fox fairy, and just saw Steward Ding's scared eyes, the maid suddenly thought...... Steward Ding should be ...... Possessed by something demonic, right? ”

When Gao Da heard this, he immediately jumped out and said, "Ah, Sister Lan'er said this, the villain also thinks it is very suspicious." The big guys all know what the dumb guy was like before, this person is stupid and stupid, and he doesn't say anything, but what is Ding Hao like now? You say, you say......"

This said, the crowd suddenly stirred, the foolish people in the countryside originally believed in these things, and the tall said that everyone had doubts in their hearts. What kind of person Ding Hao has been since he was a child, no one knows, who doesn't know, if he doesn't stay, he won't get a dumb nickname. But since he was seriously ill at the end of last year, he suddenly changed as a person.

The eldest young master of the Ding family was robbed and injured, just after he was resurrected. The great disaster of the Ding family was also solved by him. Since then, the troubles of the Ding family have always come to the door, and even the old man Ding, who has always been hand-eyed, is helpless, but every time he uses some weird and strange methods to crack it, could it be him...... He was really borrowed by evil things to return the corpse, and wanted to rob the Ding family's property for the sake of disaster in the township?
