    Ling Tuisi did not expect that Prefect Du would come sooner than he expected.

    I saw more than a dozen people carrying boxes, big and small, covered with red cloth, and came to Ling's mansion happily.  When the concierge came to report to Ling Tuisi, Ling Tuisi was not yet mentally prepared.

    Ling Tuisi rubbed his sore eyes, looked at the battle at the door and said to Master Song, "What's the situation?"

    Master Song whispered in his ear: "Prefect Du personally came to propose marriage, and even brought the betrothal gift!"

    Ling Tuisi hurriedly looked around and finally saw Du Zhifu standing in the pile of dowry gifts. He hurriedly went up to hold Du Zhifu's hand and said enthusiastically, "Brother Du came to the door in person, and he didn't say hello in advance. I'm good."  Welcome back!"

    Du Zhifu also hurriedly took Ling Tuisi's hand and responded cordially: "Brother Ling is too polite, I don't want to come to the door personally to show our sincerity in asking for the daughter of your mansion, so I bring my sincerity.  He and the dowry came all the way from Fengtai Mansion, and I hope Brother Ling can make this good marriage come true!"

    The two magistrates stood at the door hand in hand, like old friends reunited after a long time. They made out endlessly, and finally ended those polite conversations under the reminder of Master Song.

    Ling Tuisi said to Prefect Du: "Brother Du, hurry up and go into the house to drink some tea. You must be thirsty after a long journey. Mr. Song, you can't neglect these people brought by Prefect Du."

    Du Zhifu was invited into the main hall of the Ling Mansion. After the two sat down, Du Zhifu spoke first: "Brother Ling, the son Du Heng is sixteen years old and is getting married. When he was in the academy, he fell in love with the daughter of your mansion at first sight.  Let me propose a marriage, I thought about it and thought that the children are still young, and they have to obtain merits before they are eligible to propose a marriage, so I blocked it. Now that Du Heng is ranked 14th in the deputy list of the township examination, it can be regarded as a little merit. I will see the timing  Mature, immediately prepared the dowry, wrote the letter of proposal, and came to Taiyuan non-stop, and I hope Brother Ling will allow me to fulfill the child's infatuation!"

    After hearing that Du Zhifu finished speaking, Ling Zhifu first laughed, and then laughed dryly. He said to Du Zhifu: "I also know your name, and I am in the same class as my little girl. Your son usually has excellent grades and good character.  Guigui, the little girl's qualifications are dull and stubborn, she is really not worthy of your son!"

    When Du Zhifu heard what Ling Tuisi said, he clapped his hands and saw the attendant took a red letterhead and handed it up. Du Zhifu said loudly: "Read!"

    The entourage unfolded the letter paper and read aloud: "The list of Du's betrothal gifts is as follows: ten dendrobium pearls, five pairs of Hetian jade bracelets, four golden step shakers, ten bolts of Hangzhou silk, ten gold jewellery, five thousand taels of silver"

    The entourage read loudly, and the words were clear to the ear, and it was impossible for Ling Tui to pretend not to hear.  As the list of betrothal gifts was read out item by item, Ling Tuisi knew that the Du Mansion had definitely placed a heavy betrothal gift, and this list gave the Ling Mansion both face and respect.

    After reading, the attendant handed the list to Ling Tuisi, turned and left.  Ling Tuisi put the list on the table casually, looked at Du Zhifu and said, "Brother Du, your betrothal gift is too heavy, not to mention asking to marry my youngest daughter, it is enough to ask to marry the prince's Gege.  It's not worthy of your family's young master, I have to train and train her well so that she won't be ashamed when she leaves the court!"

    When Prefect Du heard Ling Tuisi's reluctant tone, he just smiled and didn't care.

    He continued to say to Ling Tuisi: "Your family's daughter is a well-known talented woman. She can hold embroidery needles and recite poems. That's why I prepared a lot of gifts to hire me, lest I neglect your family's daughter.  Don't shirk your yearning heart!"

    When Ling Tuisi heard that Prefect Du had spoken, he smiled slightly and brushed the beard under his chin. He remained silent for a long time, seeing that Ling Tuisi was silent, and Prefect Du also sat silently, and concentrated on drinking tea.

    For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room became a little dignified.

    Finally, Ling Tuisi broke the silence first, and said to Master Song: "Bring up Ding Erkang's case file and let Zhifu Du have a look."

    After a while, the case file was brought up and handed over to Prefect Du. Prefect Du took a rough look at it and said to Ling Tuisi, "Brother Ling, what does this mean? What does the case of Taiyuan Mansion have to do with our Fengtai Mansion? Or is Brother Ling encountering a problem?"  Need me to help you solve it?"

    Ling Tuisi smiled and said: "I really need Brother Du's help to solve the problem. I wonder if Brother Du knows the defendant in this case? His name is Ding Erkang, he is from Fengtai Mansion, and he is from Huai Tan Academy with your son.  Classmates and friends!"

    After hearing this, Du Zhifu shook his head, as if he was very confused, he asked: "Should I know him, he is a young student, how could I know him, and I have never?Du Heng once said that there was such a classmate friend.  "

    Ling Tuisi asked again: "But Ding Erkang's confession said that he and Du Heng were classmates and friends who grew up. He only went to Yongxingzhai to drink at Du Heng's invitation. This happened when he was framed by someone after drinking.  Brother Du, please give me a clear explanation on how this case should be tried?"

    Du Zhifu was very angry when he heard this, he slapped the table heavily with his hand, and roared: "It's unreasonable, this is clearly framed and slandered. Du Heng invited him to dinner to congratulate him on his high school exam in his hometown.  His own problem has nothing to do with Du Heng. Besides, the plaintiff and the witnesses are all there, so how can he just talk about it alone. "

    Ling Tuisi hurriedly pressed Du Zhifu's hand, and he pretended to be relieved: "Brother Du, don't worry, it's not that Ding Erkang said that Du Heng set up a scheme to frame him. I don't believe it at all. According to the trial process, the suspect Du Heng should be arrested and brought to justice.  It¡¯s because I don¡¯t believe that I didn¡¯t issue an arrest warrant for Mr. Du, Mr. Du should be drinking tea in the back garden leisurely right now?¡±

    After hearing this, Du Zhifu hurriedly cupped his hands to express his gratitude, and said: "Thank you Brother Ling for your trust in the child. This Ding Erkang has done evil himself and corrupted others, so he should be more guilty."

    After hearing Du Zhifu's words, Ling Tuisi just curled his lips slightly, and said, "However, your son invited Ding Erkang to drink first, and if Ding Erkang insisted that it was Du Heng who set him up, I am afraid that Du Gongzi must come to Taiyuan Mansion for a visit."  , to prove my innocence, if there is no evidence, then it's no wonder I don't think of the friendship of my colleagues!"

    Du Zhifu was not excited when he heard Ling Tuisi's speech. Instead, he listened to Ling Tuisi's words very calmly, and then he answered: "Brother Ling, I dare to use the black gauze hat on my head to guarantee that the dog Du Heng is definitely just congratulating Ding Erkang,  After the performance, Du Heng returned to the inn where he was resting, and never went out again, as for how Ding Erkang appeared at Widow Wen's house, I don't care about it, Brother Ling just go and investigate!"

    After finishing speaking, Prefect Du left, leaving behind a lot of betrothal gifts and a letter sealed with wax.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
