Bites a rock sugar gourd, but Xue Ning can't chew the taste, but she is so anxious that she is about to cry. She is honest and not stupid, Ding is a little bit of her housekeeper, but the master wants to dismiss the slave, she can't do it all around and then to Ding's hand, isn't this? She was worried about making Ding Yi unhappy, and even resigned with her, how could it be good?

I don't know how long it took, but I heard someone in my ear ask softly, "Beauty, what's wrong?" Xue Ning looked back, but Ding Yi didn't know when she was standing beside her, she was in a hurry for a while, and she wanted to salute and still had a string of rock sugar gourds in her hand that had not been eaten, and she was reluctant to throw her, so she was at a loss.

Ding Yi looked at her humble and respectful, and couldn't help laughing and took the string of rock sugar gourds from her hand, Xue Ning could finally salute: "I've seen the master." Ding helped her up, but asked, "Why are you worried here?" I heard Ruyu say that you embarrassed yourself by leaving those servants? Are there any friends or relatives in there? Ruyu was caught by Uncle Zhong to practice, so Ding came over to take a look after taking the list.

Xue Ning shook her head, Ding Yi didn't understand, and couldn't help asking: "Then just quit them, what's the difficulty?" ”

But I saw her drooping mantis and screamed like a gnat: "The slave doesn't know how to dismiss them......"

"What's so hard about that? I'll just teach you. "If ordinary people probably can't understand the problem of Xue Ning. Put yourself in your shoes, the so-called "once the power is in hand, watch me carry out the order" as long as the power is in hand, what is the difficulty of resigning some subordinates? But Ding Yi, who has studied criminal psychology as a criminal policeman, is different, he knows very well that people's personalities are different, some people are used to giving orders but are not good at actual work, and some people are good at actual work but really can't give orders.

Ding Yi brought the string of rock sugar gourds to his mouth, and Xue Ning wanted to say that she had just eaten it, but seeing that Ding Yi had already bitten it, she had to blush and hang her head. Ding Yi bit one on the string of rock sugar gourds and handed it to Xue Ning, chuckling as he chewed: "You gathered all the workers to the front yard patio, and said that I have something to share with them." ”

Xue Ning was like being pardoned, hurriedly saluted Ding and walked to the front yard with broken steps.

Ding Yi watched her Ana twist her waist, but felt that the rock sugar gourd in her mouth was quite chewy.

These slaves have begun to exceed the lower limit of Ding Yi's patience, and they began to spy in the backyard and know that they cover their ears and steal the bell and pretend to go the wrong way or something, and now they are walking around more and more rampantly, just yesterday Ding Yi drove people seven times, and one of them was a black mole man who actually said: "This is not allowed to go in, not to let go, this master might as well wrap up the work, and there is no need to raise our subordinates!" "It's okay now, Ding Yi is going to start doing some private things next, so that others don't know about it, these spies are a bit of an eyesore. It seems that this stubble is already choked in the throat, and it is not possible to pick it out.

A group of people gathered to crowd the patio densely, and Ding couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it, and he didn't realize that there were nearly 100 people in this house. Ding Yi shook his robe and sat down on the chair in front of the hall, and then he heard Xue Ning on the side whisper: "Master, tea." ”

Ding turned over to the side and took it, inadvertently holding Xue Ning's spring-like fingers, in front of nearly 100 people, Xue Ning's face couldn't help but be hot, and she just wanted to withdraw her hand, but Ding Yi held her hand generously and said to her: "Look at me." Xue Ning had no choice but to turn her head.

"You also do it to serve tea and water, you also do it to move chairs and lift tables, and as far as I know, the mung bean soup cooked every afternoon is also proposed by you when you go to the kitchen, I asked you to take care of things, but I didn't ask you to finish the work of these hundreds of people alone." Ding Yi held Xue Ning's soft wattle and let her go before he took her forward, but said to her, "You don't know how to take care of things, just learn it." ”

Looking at the one hundred and ten people who were pressed by the black, Ding Yi put his legs across the armrest, and his arm was supported by the armrest on the other side, just supporting his head, and asked with a smile: "I was talking to Xue Ning just now, who was laughing below?" Stand up for yourself and be rewarded. "There was a squeak of chirping below, like many mosquitoes flying, but it was a group of servants who exchanged words, but no one stood up.

Ding Yi didn't care, but asked Xue Ning in front of him with a smile: "How many of these people are hired workers?" "The nature of the hired worker and the slave who signed the deed of sale is still inconsistent, although Ding Yi is not very clear about the law of the Ming Dynasty, and he spent a few years in the police force in his previous life, this truth is still understood.

Xue Ning knew about this, and hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the master, here are all signed to submit documents or enter the contract." And men and women have a covenant of joint names. Ding Yi didn't understand a little, so he taught Xue Ning to fetch it, and the sound of those people in the patio talking to each other was getting louder and louder, and some people were tired of standing, so they simply found a corner and sat down.

This person took the lead, and someone followed, so they sat or lay down in a mess, and Ding Yi slowly drank tea with a smile on his face, and never reprimanded them. Xue Ning came back very quickly, a huge gold-painted wooden box was held in front of her chest, Ding Yi motioned for her to put it on the ground, took a copy out and looked at it, only to see that it was written:

"Qian Dafu, the marriage clerk, used the original money to buy the land with the media, and the servant Chen Erju was a man...... When he was young, he voluntarily betrayed himself and became a servant in Goldfish Hutong. With the media, the three sides of the money are worth the money, the silver is two and one money, and the silver marriage contract and other books are delivered on the same day. After his servant was betrayed, as soon as he heard about it, he immediately took it away, and when he grew up to be an adult in the future, he married a wife, and after finishing the house, he did not return to his sect. Now I am afraid that there is no basis for this marriage certificate as a photo" The following is the date, the seller's charge, the servant's charge, the middleman's charge, and so on.

The so-called marriage letter is actually a contract of sale!

Wang Zhen wants to reward the beautiful servants of this mansion to Ding Yi, and the lackeys below who are ordered to go can be said to have hollowed out their minds and almost done everything.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were strict regulations on how many servants a first-class master could keep and how many servants a nobleman such as a count could keep, which was called a difference between the upper and lower levels; People who do not meet this standard, for example, Ding Yi is just a show of talent and fame, so if there are nearly 100 slaves, it is definitely a trespass, so if someone denounces it, Ding Yi will be guilty, and the servants he raises are not suitable for his status, is he going to rebel?

So what to do?

As a result, the person who did the work turned the contract of sale into a so-called marriage certificate and a document of submission, with different names and the same nature. For example, in the marriage book above, it is mentioned that "after the sale, as soon as the buyer hears it, he will take it immediately", and he has heard the call of the person to clarify the obligation, and then it is "growing up to marry a wife and living in a house in the Ding family, and there is no disagreement about returning to the ancestry", and he can't recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, isn't this a deed of sale?

And Xue Ning took another one called "Lian Name Ring Covenant", which read: "...... disobey the constraints of the lord and the public, and stir up the crowd to advocate chaos. After the head of the family reported to the official, the lord of the county was not deeply investigated, and the order was written in court. Before he knew it, he repented and reformed himself, and begged the head of the family to take it back. After that, he will always obey the restraint and serve carefully, and he will not dare to rally the crowd to resist...... "Here are the dates, the notes of the servants mentioned in the documents, the charges of the government, and so on.

It's almost a life-selling document, and this reinstatement covenant means that these servants have rebelled against the head of Ding Yi's family before, and after the judgment of the government, they all sit together, and if one of them rebels against the head of the family again, everyone else will be held responsible.

The Ming Dynasty was naturally not like the Yuan and Qing dynasties, where slaves and maids could be killed at will. But no matter which feudal dynasty, the government must punish the evil servants and bullying the masters; As for the fact that after making a covenant to make a name re-ordination, if the head of the family sues again, it is not an ordinary matter, there are dozens or a hundred rods, and it is not surprising that he is exiled to a remote place.

However, Ding Yi didn't plan to go to the yamen to sue these servants, he handed the document to Xue Ning to teach her to put it away, pointed to the dozen servants and concubines who had been standing honestly from beginning to end, and said to them: "You guys stand beside Xue Ning." But he smiled at the other servants, "How's that?" After discussing how to sell this house, did they share the money and die at the end of the world? If you want to escape, run away, and after a while, I will go to the yamen to sue the evil servants and deceive the master, and you will not be able to escape, don't forget that you have signed a covenant to make a name and precept, and wait for the south of the country. ”

Ding Yi's voice was not loud, but the servants in front of him could hear it clearly, and hurriedly got up one by one, which was not a joke. Some people thought that they were selling themselves, and let him press his handprint, and he didn't know what the name ring was, and there were old people on the side who separated from him, and they were scared out of sweat when they listened, and the patio was silent for a while.

"You, and you, go and drag out the man with a big black mole on his cheek." Ding Yi pointed to the two male servants in front of him and commanded them, these two people were stunned for a moment but stood in place and did not move, Ding Yi was not angry, handed the tea cup to Xue Ning, took out two pieces of broken silver from his body and threw them in his hands, and threw them to the two male servants, "I received the reward money to do things, otherwise the other masters will not care, and I will specifically trouble you two, I don't believe that I can't get you a staff of 100 or 3,000 miles for fifty taels of silver." ”

The two manservants pulled their faces down when they heard this. Not to mention the name of the precepts, only fifty taels of silver is still the master suing the servant, it is really impossible to go for 3,000 miles, but it is appropriate to die with a rod on the spot. The two couldn't, looked at each other and sang a promise to Ding Yi, and after they walked, they dragged out the man Ding Yi pointed out.

"You're just laughing, aren't you? Why didn't you come out? Ding Yi leaned back in his chair and asked the servant. When Ding Yi and Xue Ning were talking just now, this guy laughed in the crowd. Ding Yi asked him to come out, but this person actually didn't hear it, so Ding Yi asked the two manservants to drag him out.

The servant held his head high, ignored it, and looked at Ding Yi with a deep disdain in his eyes.
