"Dad, I was wrong!"
The moment he saw Ding Wei, Ding Qi's bones softened and he fell to his knees with a plop.
boom!
However, Ding Qi's confession not only had no effect, but made Ding Wei even more angry. He raised the stick in his hand and hit Ding Qi on the shoulder with a bang.
"ah!"
After being hit hard suddenly, Ding Qi felt a heartbreaking pain coming from his shoulder.
The next second, Ding Qi curled up on the ground, one hand firmly covering his shoulder, and the other hand protecting his head.
"Dad, please forgive me."
boom!
boom!
boom!
This time, Ding Wei became ruthless. No matter how Ding Qi begged for mercy, he ignored her and just hit Ding Qi with one stick after another.
How could you give birth to such a thing?
Who should I steal from?
He actually stole it from Liu Demiao!
Liu Demiao, can you steal it?
Even he didn't dare to touch it himself, but as a result, this little beast extended his claws to Liu Demiao.
Under the continuous blows with the stick, Ding Qi was soon beaten into a state of disgrace. There were countless bumps on her head, and the clothes on her body were stained with blood.
At this moment, how could Ding Qi still remember his previous promise? Now that he couldn't even care about himself, how could he have the time to beg for mercy for Liu Demiao?
Whoops!
Whoops!
In fact, beating someone is also a very physically demanding thing. After a while, Ding Wei began to breathe heavily.
Immediately afterwards, the movements of his hands also slowed down.
At the same time, sanity slowly returned.
Looking at his son lying on the ground, covered in blood, Ding Wei, who regained his consciousness, felt his heart beat hard several times, as if he had been punched hard several times.
However, when he thought of what Ding Qi had done, he felt that Ding Qi was not worthy of pity.
If this matter is known to the palace or his political opponents, Ding Qi will definitely be doomed.
In fact, not only Ding Qi, but also he had to die.
Afterwards, Ding Qi was most likely exiled first, then supervised, and finally stayed there until the limelight passed. Ding Qi would most likely die of illness.
As we all know, the Song Dynasty had an unspoken rule of "not killing scholar-bureaucrats".
That is to say, if an official, or to be precise, a civilian official commits a crime, as long as it is not a major crime such as treason, the result will usually be exile.
Exile punishment can be roughly divided into two categories.
One type is the supervision and custody type. Among them, the supervision type is relatively light. It only assigns to a certain place and arranges guards. The scope of activities of the prisoner is limited to a certain place.
As for custody, the sentences are more severe, and even freedom of movement will be deprived, and they will generally be sent to remote areas.
Then he will be supervised by a special person, and he will not even be given access to the door. Daily food will also be served by a special person.
Simply put, detention is more like jail.
Another type of exile is resettlement and residence.
The biggest difference between this type and the official and supervisory officials is that they do not remove their names, that is, they do not take away their official status. They are only awarded to casual officials such as Sima and Biejia.
In addition, resettlement and residence do not require regular reports to the local people’s official.
Just like when Kou Zhun was demoted to Leizhou as a military commander in Leizhou, it was a type of resettlement.
certainly.
Policy is policy, execution is execution.
Nominally the prisoner will not die, but in fact there is room for maneuver.
For example, during the Taizong period, Qin King Zhao Tingmei committed the serious crime of "treason".
Considering that King Qin was his biological brother, Taizong showed his benevolence and righteousness, so he sent King Qin to Fangzhou to settle down, and allowed his children to accompany him.
Afterwards, Song Taizong still felt uneasy, so he specially gave gold and silver to the chief and deputy chiefs of Fangzhou, euphemistically saying "take good care of the King of Qin".
In the end, the governor of Fangzhou and Tongpan lived up to Song Taizong's kindness and directly took care of King Qin Tingmei to death.
Worried about the season, he became ill and died of a sudden illness.

The next day.
Before dawn, a carriage drove out of the backyard of Ding's house. The person in charge of driving was none other than Ding Wei's personal attendant Ding Ji.
This winter is particularly cold. A few days ago, there was another heavy snowfall in Bianliang.
When the snow melts, it makes this first month even more cold.
call!
call!
A gust of cold wind blew past, and the cold wind blew across Dingji's face like a knife.
damn it!
Dingji cursed secretly, going out on this day would really cost people's lives.
Last night, Dingji, who was enjoying the pleasure of the boudoir, was suddenly called out from under the covers.
The Prime Minister has something to call me.
In the Ding clan, Ding means heaven.
Even if he didn't want to, Ding Ji had to get out of the car halfway and hurried towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Then, Ding Ji received a very sudden order to escort Liu Demiao to Tianyin Temple in Maoshan, Suzhou.
Of course Ding Ji knew who Liu Demiao was. The figure of the female Taoist priest recruited by the prime minister himself was unbeatable.
In addition, her voice is even more amazing, and her words sound like a lark singing a cappella in her ears.
Although Dingji didn't know what was going on in the house, the Prime Minister asked him to personally escort him in this weather.
What does this mean? Do you need to explain it?
In the past few years of following Ding Wei, Ding Ji realized a truth: Don't inquire about matters between big people.
He will do whatever the prime minister tells him, and that's enough.
Ancient city gates were not only used for passage, but also for defense. There were strict regulations on when the city gates should be closed and when they should be opened.
From the main entrance of the capital to the Funing Hall, there are four gates in sequence, namely the capital gate, the imperial city gate (outer court), the palace gate (inner court) and the palace gate.
Among them, the gate to the capital opens the earliest, around 4 o'clock.
It is also an ancient time measurement unit. One watch is two hours long. Counting from Xu hour, it is the first watch, Hai hour is the second watch, Zi hour is the third watch, and Chou hour is the fourth watch.
Converted to modern time at 4 o'clock in the morning, it would be about 1 o'clock in the morning when the doors open.
When Dingji arrived at the Nanxun Gate, the city gate was already wide open. When pedestrians on the island saw that it was a carriage, they immediately retreated to both sides of the road.
Those who can use a carriage these days are either rich or noble, so it's never wrong to go a little further.
Dingji drove out of the city gate without any obstruction. At this time, he was in a bad mood and didn't even notice that there was a group of tail behind him.
the other side.
The backyard of Ding Mansion.
Ding Qi did not follow him. Last night, the furious Ding Wei almost beat him to death. Now he is lying in bed receiving treatment.
For safety reasons, Ding Wei did not hire a doctor, but prescribed some medicine for Ding Qi himself.
He didn't dare to let the outside world know about Ding Qi's injury.
Although the matter of sending Liu Demiao away was done covertly, if you don't want others to know about it, you have to do it yourself.
If the news leaks out, and Ding Qi's injury is also spread, the combination of the two is always a hidden danger.
So, it's best to do things separately.
Anyway, the medicine for treating bruises is for external application. Even if something goes wrong, it won't cure the person.
If he was really unfortunate enough to be put to death, he deserved it.
