Twenty-nine disputes

When several people came out of Yihong Pavilion, they all had questions lingering in their hearts: What did this Ruhua want to say to Wu Hai? Did Qiongyu push Ruhua downstairs unintentionally or intentionally? How could this be such a coincidence, pushing people down the stairs and falling to their deaths with a gentle push? These doubts formed a cloud of fog, lingering in the hearts of several people, and they could not find the way forward.

Later, Wu Hai couldn't help it, and said: "This thing is a little abnormal, then Ruhua told me that she had a secret to repay, why did she fall to her death when I came here?" He frowned and thought for a while, and said to Ding Si and the others, "I wonder if what she said has anything to do with that demon dao?" Seeing that Ding Si and the two did not react, he pondered for a while before saying to the two: "After I return to the Yamen, I will send someone to check whether the demon Dao Hanyi has anything to do with this Ruhua, if there are clues, even if we dig three feet into the ground, we must investigate; If this Ruhua has nothing to do with the Demon Dao, then—" He paused, "We don't need to work too this matter. ”

When Ding Si heard him say this, he couldn't help but say: "Lord Wu, Ruhua may have something important to tell you, even if this matter has nothing to do with the Demon Dao, how can we expose this matter and not mention it?" ”

Wu Hai didn't care, patted Ding Si's shoulder with his hand and said: "Ding Zhukuai, you and I are both at the scene, that Ruhua was pushed down by Qiongyu's hand, and there are also witnesses, Qiongyu will be punished according to the law, and this matter can be regarded as having an explanation." If we waste all our time on this for a 'secret matter' that we don't even know the content, what should we do about the things that the emperor handed over to us? He looked at the dark night sky with his eyes, and said softly: "There are priorities, we have a lot to investigate, tomorrow I will go with you to investigate the disappearance of Han Yi's family, I don't know if you know his family's residence?" ”

In the dark night, Ding Si's eyes shone like stars: "It is said that he lives in a shack by the riverside, and Zhao Yihan's wife is old, and it is very hard to take a few half-old children. ”

Wu Hai nodded and said, "Early tomorrow morning, I will go to that place with you." ”

When the sun sprinkles a little golden on the **, the riverside wharf is already bustling, people come and go, near are some low and small sheds, surrounded by rags, barely able to block the wind and rain, less than a while, the three of them have walked to the side of the shack, Wu Hai couldn't help wrinkling his nose, indeed, the smell is extremely unpleasant. Wu Hai stroked his beard with his hand and said to Ding Si: "Ding catches quickly, I asked people to check Ruhua's matter last night, that Ruhua really has nothing to do with Han Yi, she has been poor since she was a child, she was sold into the Qinglou by her parents at the age of eight, and she was listed to pick up customers at the age of seventeen. According to that **, such as the flower will use some wrists to keep the guests, the so-called secret of the day, maybe it is also used to deceive the guests, the women on the Fengyue field are used to hanging people's appetites, if you believe them, the living are also deceived to death by them. ”

Ding Si's eyes reflected the color of the morning sun, and he said calmly: "The adult is very vigorous in investigating the case, but if the adult has time, I still suggest that the adult investigate the matter of Ruhua, maybe there are some clues in Ruhua." ”

Wu Hai was noncommittal, but said softly: "What you said is the same, but I don't know what kind of scenery the capital is at this time?" ”

Ding Si and Wu Hai visited several shacks in Jiangbin, mentioning Zhao Lao Niang, everyone has an impression, although the woman is about sixty years old, her body is very tough, every day she pulls three grandchildren to pick up dead fish and rotten shrimp by the river, and usually helps people wash some clothes, which is considered to be a bad time, not long ago Zhao Lao Niang's face was full of joy, but she didn't say why she was happy, but someone smiled with her mouth open, but it disappeared after a few days, everyone spread that Zhao Lao Niang made a windfall and finally stopped living in the shack.

The three of them asked several families, and everyone couldn't remember the time when Zhao Lao Niang disappeared, but they just said that they hadn't seen each other in the past few days, and as for which day they didn't see it, because everyone was busy with their own livelihoods, but no one had ever cared about their grandchildren. Wu Hai saw that the shacks on the riverside were full of poor and miserable people, and the smell of dirt and smell blowing from the riverside couldn't help but make a bitter face, walked a few steps faster, and walked towards the dock. When he arrived at the dock, the air seemed to smell better, Wu Hai's face was a little more normal again, he let out a long breath, and said to Ding Si: "Ding Zhu, who did you listen to that Zhao Laoniang's son is Han Yi?" ”

Ding Si couldn't help but feel a little trance: "It was found out by a friend." ”

Wu Hai asked again, "Is that friend reliable?" ”

Ding Si's shrewd face of Lin Zhengdao appeared in his mind, and he nodded and said, "It should be reliable." ”

Wu Hai hesitated and asked, "Could it be a coincidence?" Mrs. Zhao was really picked up by her son, and her son is not necessarily Han Yi. I wonder where you got your friend's news? ”

Ding Si did not answer Wu Hai's question and remained silent.

Wu Hai looked at Ding Si's face, and said after considering the words: "Ding Zhukuai, I know that you have come to Quanzhou very hard this time, and the emperor has also revealed to me that your family has just been a hundred days old, and you have just come back from Mobei, and even your family came to Quanzhou with me just after seeing each other." He glanced at the vast river, and hesitated to continue: "Now that the case has been almost tried, since Han Yi Lao Dao has admitted what he has done, he finally has an explanation to the emperor, and the emperor is worried that there are people who are bewitching the public and harboring evil intentions. ”

Ding Si listened to him for a long time before he asked, "Do you know what I'm trying to do to catch fast?" ”

Wu Hai said: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Ding Si's eyes flashed with a faint brilliance: "What I am most happy about is the person I have caught, I have never caught a good person by mistake, nor have I taught a bad person to let go of me." ”

Wu Hai couldn't help but laugh a little dumbly when he heard Ding Si say this: "Ding Catch quickly, you are just following orders to arrest people, and it is not your responsibility to arrest the wrong person, so why do you embarrass yourself?" ”

Ding Si was not angry, and said with a faint smile: "If the adults are in a hurry to return to Beijing, you can leave by yourself first, I'm afraid I will have to hover here for some time." ”

Wu Hai's face flashed with anger, and he was quickly suppressed, and said to Ding Si sincerely: "Ding Zhu, let's leave Beijing together, naturally we have to return to Beijing together, otherwise, how should the emperor explain there?" He said this, but he was actually afraid that something would happen to Ding Si here, but he suppressed his hard work. Now Wu Hai is walking and can't go, and he doesn't want to stay, he can't help but feel a little angry, but because Ding Si is the golden knife of the imperial seal is fast, so he can't use the official to coerce people, he turned back halfway that day was helpless, and when he came back for the past two days, he went to Yihong Pavilion to see the flowers falling from the building, and ran to the river to smell the fishy smell of fish and shrimp for a long time, and the patience on his body was almost exhausted, but fortunately he had a little bit of the city, and his face was still faint.

Ding Si didn't know what he was thinking, so he sincerely looked at Wu Hai and said, "Lord Wu, don't you think things are too bizarre? Let's come to check the loss of the big seal, the big seal is really lost, the rumors in the capital are the demon way rebellion, it is really the demon road rebellion, I always feel that there is an invisible big palm pulling us away, things are abnormal must be demons, so I don't dare to go back to Beijing easily, that's the idea. ”

Wu Hai had a smile on his face, but his tone was a little aggressive: "Then how long do we have to stay in Quanzhou?" ”

Ding Si shook his head and said, "Lord Wu, this matter is difficult to say, if the cause is verified, we will rush back to the capital without stopping." ”

Wu Hai said again: "Ding Zhu, give me a time, right?" ”

Ding Si still shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Wu Hai's face was gloomy, he forcibly held back the irritability in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Ding Zhu, let's take five days as the boundary, after five days, if you can't find anything useful, let's rush back to the capital immediately, no one can stay." ”

After finishing speaking, he strode with his sleeves brushed up.
