Seeing the men slowly approaching from both sides of the street, Ding Zhaolan became more and more annoyed. He clapped his hands: "Dai, don't mess around here. Your brother's death has nothing to do with our Ding family."
"It's none of your business." The man surnamed Dai pointed at Ding Zhaolan and said angrily, "Someone saw with his own eyes that it was a child of your family who injured him and left him on the side of the road. Terrible."
As he said that, the man surnamed Dai wiped his tears, his expression was sad, and he looked very real. Even Lu Sen and Zhan Zhao couldn't be sure whether the man's crying was real or not.
Ding Zhaolan became more and more annoyed: "You said someone saw it, who is that person?"
"Why, your Ding family wants to kill people and reduce their mouths, and then die without symptoms?"
Walking down the doorstep, where Ding Zhaolan passed, the crowd parted, he said angrily: "Your Dai family dare not even release the witnesses, and you just point at our Ding family to frame it. There is no reason in the world."
"The truth in this world is the law." The young man surnamed Dai rushed to a foot in front of Ding Zhaolan, and also shouted: "We have some witnesses, see you in court in three days."
"Since we want to meet in court, what are you doing blocking the door of my Ding's house!" Ding Zhaolan shouted: "Don't think that your lord is the governor of Qian, we are afraid of you. This Songjiang doesn't have a surname Dai yet!"
These words have some meaning, implying that the Dai family seems to have the intention of rebellion.
The young man surnamed Dai stared at him, and trembled with anger: "Okay, you Ding Zhaolan has a good tongue, I can't say no to you. We will see you in court three days later, and your Ding family can't cover the sky with one hand. If Songjiang Fu Yin can't give our Dai family justice, we will see you in Kaifeng mansion sooner or later!"
Speaking of moving, the man surnamed Dai turned around and left, and then the other people who surrounded the door of Ding's house also cursed and spit and left.
After the people left, Ding Zhaolan walked towards the bride price team. He saw Zhan Zhao in the crowd at a glance, clasped his fists a little ashamedly, and was about to speak, when his eyes slanted, he saw Lu Sen.
After being stunned for half a second, Ding Zhaolan swallowed his saliva, took the initiative to walk up quickly, first landed on Lu Sen and saluted with fists in his hands, and said, "I've met Master Lu, Lu Tianzhang!"
Lu Sen cupped his fists in return: "It's easy to say."
Then Ding Zhaolan clasped his fists to Zhan Zhao and said, "Brother-in-law Zhan Butou, I have been waiting for a long time, please follow me into the house. Daoist Lu also invites you!"
A group of people followed Ding Zhaolan into Ding's residence.
Ding's family is very large, and there are quite a lot of servants. These servants are sitting lazily chatting and eating snacks. When they saw Ding Zhaolan come in with a group of people in red suits, they all stood up and clasped their fists together for fun.
After all, my little lady Ding Yuehua has made a lifelong appointment with Zhanbutou of Bianjing City. This matter has already been spread in Ding's family, but it has not been spread outside yet.
Looking at these servants who were not in good shape, Ding Zhaolan was filled with embarrassment and depression.
The family style is not right!
It's okay if Zhan Zhao just sees it, since we're going to be a family anyway, Zhan Zhao probably won't say anything.
But real Lu is also there.
Lu Sen is much higher than Zhan Zhao in terms of fame and status, actual civil service rank, and Tianzhangge direct bachelor status.
It is indeed a very helpless thing to be bumped into by such a person and see that the family tradition is not strict.
Ding Zhaolan led the way in front, his heart was up and down, worrying about gains and losses.
But in fact, Lu Sen didn't think too much about it. He felt that these servants dared to joke with the master's family. He thought that Ding's family usually managed the servants more loosely.
In this case, Lu Sen felt that the Ding family should be more benevolent in doing things, anyway, it was to add impression points.
When fast forwarding to the inner hall, most of the people in the team were left in place, only the matchmaker and a few bearers went in carrying the betrothal gifts in large boxes and small bags.
Possibly upon receiving the news, the elders of the Ding family have long been waiting in the inner hall.
When they saw someone coming in, they were chatting and laughing, but immediately pretended to be serious.
Lu Sen took a look. There were three old people, seven middle-aged people, and a dozen or so sisters-in-law.
"Father, my brother-in-law is here." Ding Zhaolan walked up the steps quickly and walked towards the old man in the middle: "There are also"
Ding Zhaolan wanted to reveal Lu Sen's identity earlier, so that his father would be more polite when he spoke, so as not to embarrass Zhan Zhang, and then make Lu Zhenren unhappy.
Before he finished speaking, Father Ding pointed to the chair next to him, and said solemnly: "You don't need to talk too much, I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to intervene in such a big matter."
&nbIt's not that I don't know! "
Father Ding hissed subconsciously, then turned his head to look at Lu Sen. He clasped his fists and bent down to salute the official: "I am an official in charge of Songjiang Road sub-capital, Ding Yang, deputy commander of the Songjiang navy, met Lu Tianzhang, Lu Langzhong."
Lu Sen is a civilian official, while Ding's father is only a local military officer. The gap between the two can be said to be huge.
Then everyone in the Ding family bowed down, including Ding Zhaolan, and shouted: I have met Lu Tianzhang, Mr. Lu.
"Please, you're welcome. I'm here today as a friend of Zhanbu, not an official position." Lu Sen gently raised his hand: "I'm here this time, just to witness Xiongfei's appointment."
"So it is, so it is." Ding Yang stood up, then smiled and said: "Lu Tianzhang, please sit down. My son-in-law also sit down. Come on, don't be too polite, treat this place as your own home."
Ding Yang became enthusiastic all of a sudden.
Lu Sen still sat down, and said: "Because Xiongfei's home is too far away from here, it's not convenient for the elders to come here, so he asked me to come over to help and talk to Supervisor Ding, please don't blame him."
"It's easy to say, oh, I should have said it earlier, the matchmaker over there, please come and sit down." Ding Yang smiled happily.
The matchmaker naturally said she didn't dare, but she still came over and said, "Ding Dujian, we can lighten the dowry, is there still a wedding?"
Ding Yang glanced at Lu Sen, seeing that the latter was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Of course, of course."
In the following time, the matchmaker was communicating with the elders of the Ding family, confirming the willingness of both parties, asking both parties about their horoscopes, counting the days and so on.
In less than half an hour, everything was settled. The matchmaker has done so many marriages, but this time is the one with the highest status and the smoothest.
Whatever is mentioned this time, the other party will agree.
Even a lot of dowry was added.
And when the appointment was over, Lu Sen and Zhan Zhao temporarily stayed at Ding's house.
Sitting across from Lu Sen, Zhan Zhao clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Lu Xiaolang, it really is the right thing to invite you here, otherwise it will definitely be a long way."
"I don't think so. The Ding family will at most make it difficult for you to test you." Lu Sen said with a smile: "I heard that the Ding family has already given you a batch of dowry. This is obviously a sign of a hurry to get married. .¡±
"Giving the dowry does not mean that people will follow." Zhan Zhao is a headhunter, so he is naturally familiar with the law: "In case something happens along the way and she dares not marry, the dowry must be returned."
Lu Sen laughed lightly: "I don't know that well. There are quite a few women in the world who don't want to marry you."
Zhan Zhao also chuckled when he heard this.
He has confidence in himself, regardless of appearance, temperament, and identity, he is a leader of the younger generation.
Lu Sen stood up, pushed open the window, and said, "By the way, do you still remember what happened at noon today?"
"Lu Xiaolang is talking about the dispute between the Ding family and the Dai family?"
Lu Sen nodded: "This Dai family seems to be a military family, what's the origin?"
"If I remember correctly, the Dai family should be the governor of Songjiang Road, and also the commander of the land route."
Lu Sen snorted: "That is to say, there is a navy and an army. Now that there is a commotion, I always feel that there is a conspiracy in it."
"Oh, why does Lu Xiaolang have such an idea?"
Lu Sen explained: "Xiong Fei, do you still remember when I resigned from the post of military supervisor and was ambushed outside the city when I returned to Bianjing? Although the main envoy seemed to be Donghai Penglai, but they brought bowmen like It's not fake."
"Then what relationship do they have with Songjiang?"
Lu Sen thought for a while and said, "It doesn't seem to be related, but my intuition tells me that they may be related."
Zhan Zhao's face darkened, he thought for a while, and said, "We have to look at the lawsuit between the Ding and Dai families in three days' time."
"Not only that, Xiongfei, you'd better put on a disguise and inquire about the news here in Songjiang Mansion." Lu Sen put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky through the window: "If both parties are right, then it is obvious Someone is playing tricks in the dark."
Zhan Zhao nodded, expressing his understanding.
Lu Sen is a civil servant and a direct bachelor of Tianzhang Pavilion, so he does have the power to command him.
However, Lu Sen still didn't say a word: Someone was trying to provoke the relationship between the soldiers, and at the same time provoke the relationship between him and the court, and even wanted to kidnap him! </div>
