Ding Jiahua suddenly felt cold all over.
In Nanling, except for the royal family, anyone else is prohibited from keeping private guards in captivity. Severe punishment once discovered.
Just like Liu Zhixia has been serving as the prefect of Yunzhou for more than two years, so far there is no personal guard around him. If there is something to travel, at most, he can only be transferred to the official messenger assigned by the court to accompany him.
The Hetading family is just a family of well-known merchants, ranking last among the scholars, farmers, commerce, and industry. When the wife of the family went out, she brought twenty guards to accompany her, and she even attacked ordinary people on the spot in the street. How arrogant and domineering
As Liu Zhixia said, he didn't even know how many unjust souls died under his wife. It's not that there have been no troubles before, but they have all been suppressed later. However, after Yunzhou changed Liu Zhixia, the incidents caused by his wife were mostly concentrated in the house and did not spread to the outside world, so there was no conflict with the new prefect.
Only this time he didn't evade, and directly hit Tai Sui's head in a collision.
Therefore, he didn't know how to answer Liu Zhixia's question. Taking a guard privately, ignoring his life, and going rampant in the village, none of these charges are minor.
It would be okay if it is only for individuals and does not affect the Ding family. Once affected, the Ding family can be directly removed from the four major families in Yunzhou.
Looking at his younger brother's dazed expression, Ding Jianian was ashamed, "Master Liu, my brother really has no control over this matter. As the head of the family, he is extremely ashamed that he can't control a back-house woman. This case. After the incident, our family was unable to sleep well, so I decided to confess the crime with Master Liu and visit him as soon as Master Liu came back. The old man cheekily pleaded with Master Liu if he could be online. Accommodating? If Master Liu is willing to nod, the old man promises that this will never happen again in the future."
"Master Ding has served as an official in the court for many years. Although he is a fourth-rank official with the next, he has a much higher qualification in the court than me. The adults should know that I have strict laws in Nanling. I took a private guard to swagger through the city and wantonly kill the people. I don’t put the law in my eyes at all! This is an evil act, and once discovered, I should be punished severely. If I pleaded with a few people today, and I opened my eyes on the relationship in the past, it would be a favoritism. Here is this. What is the use of parent officials?"
Liu Zhixia's words are speechless and helpless.
After a long silence, Ding Jiahua asked in a dumb voice, "Master Liu, is it really not at all accommodating?"
"This official has always spoken and acted one thing, two or two. Since he became the prefect of Yunzhou, he has never practiced favoritism, and has never been innocent. Whatever happens to Mrs. Ding. If several people come only for this matter, please please. Come back."
Listening to Liu Zhixia's order to evict the guests, Ding Jiahua became a little anxious, and gritted his teeth, "Sir, can you give me some time? I will explain it later. This matter was caused by my wife, but it really has nothing to do with the entire Ding family. I will wait. We all know that adults are fair and honest as officials and will never involve innocent people!"
Liu Zhixia looked down and did not speak immediately. When the few people in front of him brought their hearts to the extreme, they said, "The official has been in Yunzhou for the past two years and has heard about the reputation of the Ding family. The people still praised the Ding family. Added. This official believes in the character of the Ding family. If it turns out that it really has nothing to do with the Ding family, the official will not involve the Ding family."
Ding Jianian glanced at Ding Jiahua, knowing the meaning behind Liu Zhixia's words.
Everyone knows whether Ding's house is really clean. As the mistress of the house, Mrs. Ding cannot be ignorant of what she has done for so many years. Even now, Mrs. Ding is still staying in the position of mistress, which shows that the Ding family has never done anything to her, and even more so that they are sheltering.
Now that something happened, they wanted to take the Ding family out. Liu Zhixia didn't understand it, but he acquiesced.
That also meant that the Ding family had to push someone out of the scapegoat, and there was no doubt who this person was.
Humiliated the old lady of the Liu family, how could Liu Zhixia, the prefect, really swallow this breath? A lot of the words are pretty high-sounding, in private, everyone is tacitly aware.
After thinking about it, Ding Jiahua gritted his teeth and prepared to fight it out, but Ding Jianian was by the side and did not stop. They have the same idea now, Madam Ding can plant in, but the Ding family must have nothing to do. Once the major families have fallen, it will be difficult for them to get up again, and they cannot use their entire family to bury others.
No matter how deep her background is, can she better than Liu Zhixia
If the prefect of Yunzhou were replaced by anyone else today, the Ding family could think of a way to continue to shelter them. The person sitting in that position was Liu Zhixia.
His background is so profound that even the emperor can't move, let alone the emperor is also one of his backgrounds.
Taking a deep breath, Ding Jiahua began to explain, during which Ding Jianian and Ding Wenxuan were both extremely silent.
"I said that this time the incident has nothing to do with the Ding family, because the guard that Neizi brought on that day was not raised by the Ding family. It was her personal personal guard and was given to her by her family. What did Neizi have done over the years? I really don’t know, because her identity background is much higher than that of my Ding family. Since joining Ding’s family, she has always been high in the clan. Because of fear of her background, even the old mother in the family is right. She backed down three points, how dare I control her more? In the end things will turn out like this. Of course I was wrong, but I was really helpless."
"Ms. Ding's identity background is much higher than that of the Ding family?" Liu Zhixia raised her eyes, her eyes faintly, "I don't know what the identity of Mrs. Zun is?"
During his stay in Yunzhou, he was busy with government affairs most of the time, occasionally socializing with the rich and powerful in the city, and all he met were the heads of the family. He has not inquired about the wives of the various families or other family members with identity backgrounds, so he doesn't know them very well.
He had never heard of Mrs. Ding's name before this incident happened.
Ding Jianian sighed, "My younger siblings, if you want to say that their family background is not high, they are just the daughter of an ordinary merchant family in Beijing. Marrying into my Ding's family can be said to be a high-end marriage, but there are relatives in her family. Her status in the DPRK is extremely high, and her status has also been raised. Only after she married into Ding's family did she have the capital to prosper."
Because the people of the people always respected her and held her offerings, she developed her more domineering temperament, and it was only then that she was able to cause trouble today.
Everything has cause and effect.
"She is the grand-niece of Yuan Yuan, the elder of the three dynasties."
Liu Zhixia's eyes fluctuated, and an old-fashioned figure appeared in her mind.
Yuan Yuan, the elder of the three dynasties, is highly respected and has always maintained his neutrality in the vortex of power overwhelming by all parties, and his prestige is extremely high. Unexpectedly, he was involved in such a way with Mrs. Ding.
