16. Night Detective

Sixteen Night Detectives

In the vast night, many people have fallen asleep, in a three-entry house in Quanzhou City, although Ruan Feng got up early, for some reason he tossed and turned, but he couldn't sleep. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the beams, feeling like a monster lurking in the darkness, rushing towards him. He was upset and closed his eyes, but immediately remembered the moment he opened the seal box the day before yesterday, the seal box was empty, and the heavy seal of the past was gone, and he couldn't help but touch the key on his waist again, this key was carried by him, even if he slept, he did not leave the left and right, but why was the big seal missing? It was a question that he had been bothering with these days, and it had been bothering him so much that he couldn't sleep at all for the past two days. During the day, he had answered countless times about the situation that night, and later, he was able to recite it, and the situation of those two days was engraved in his mind very clearly, and he never forgot a detail, and at night, those details came alive: Tong knew that Bai Pingyuan wanted to use the big seal, Bai Pingyuan took the prefect's edict, opened the seal box by himself, stamped the big seal, and put the big seal into the box and locked it, the master Zhu Keyong happened to come in, and the two left the yamen together, and gave the patrol to the patrol that night to catch the wind, The prefect also took the Yihong Pavilion top brand dream butterfly, everyone talked and laughed, drank very happily, and then he felt a little floating, in this case, he quickly stopped drinking, and spit the wine in his sleeve every time, and then everyone staggered away from the table, and he also got into the carriage, touched the key in the carriage, and was still hard, and fell asleep when he got home, until dawn the next day.

He thought about it countless times, but he couldn't find any mistakes he made, and he couldn't find any mistakes that might go wrong, and he was cautious by nature, so Zhang Hansheng handed over the work of taking charge of the Great Seal to himself, he did this every day, and it has been six years since the beginning of the cycle, how could there be such a mistake?

Who will steal the Great Seal?

In ordinary times, the place where the big seal is used is nothing more than the following places: notices, tickets, official documents, books, books, legal documents, as well as contracts for the sale and purchase of land and houses, licenses for various businesses, and even the sacrificial documents for worshiping the lord of the city god, all of which must be stamped with the official seal. He also knows that some people usually want to fish in troubled waters and make money for themselves to secretly stamp an official seal, but if they steal the big seal for the sake of these, it is really worth the loss, and no one will be so bold to take this risky step.

But why was the Great Seal lost?

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved, as if he had thought of something, but the thought was so faint that he couldn't grasp it at all, he suppressed his breathing, thought intently, and finally had a glimmer of light: Why did the imperial court send someone to inspect the seal this time?

He knew very well that before it was lost, this big seal was a genuine big seal, but the imperial court sent a patrol press, saying that it was to borrow the word "spring" on the big seal, in fact, a discerning person could see it at a glance, this was an excuse, but the big seal was lost, and it was lost the next day when the court sent someone to come, did the court have any ideas? Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in this court, it shouldn't be a problem to send someone to steal the Great Seal unknowingly. However, why did the imperial court send someone to steal the seal, this seal is the seal of the imperial court, and the official is the official of the emperor, so why is it so troublesome?

Ruan Feng only felt that his head hurt, he was in a hurry for the past two days, and felt that his body was not good, and he couldn't help coughing loudly for a while, he couldn't help but think that if the big seal couldn't be found this time, his life would be over, and Zhang Hansheng would definitely push him out to take the blame. He was frightened and frightened for a while, and couldn't help but can't sleep anymore, so he turned over and got up.

He made a noise in the room, but he didn't expect that two pairs of eyes on the roof of the house immediately lit up, and in the dark night, two people dressed in black clothes and masked in black scarves, mingling with the night, were clinging to the roof, listening to the movement in the house.

There was a sound of fire sickle in the house, and then the lamp was lit, Ruan Feng couldn't help but walk back and forth in the house a few times, his movements woke up his wife on the bed, only to hear a woman's voice ask in a low voice:

"Isn't the master asleep?"

Ruan Feng coughed and said, "Ahem... Cough... Ahem, at this time, I still have the heart to sleep, and the Great Seal will not be found again, so I will have to drink the northwest wind in the cell. ”

The woman said a little unwillingly: "How can you rely on the master for everything, let's not do bad things, why let the master take the blame." When he was finished, he asked, "Master, before that day, did the big seal be properly placed in the seal box?" ”

Ruan Feng's voice was full of exhaustion: "But isn't it, I don't know how many times I've said it in the past two days, I've always been very careful with this big seal, cough... Cough... Ahem, there was nothing wrong with me before. Listening to Ruan Feng sigh a few times, he hung his head and said dejectedly: "I'm worried that Lord Zhang won't protect me this time, if the big seal can't be found, cough... Cough... Ahem, I'm a substitute for the dead. ”

The woman asked a little puzzled, "Didn't you always say that you were Lord Zhang's henchman?" ”

Ruan Feng said in a sullen voice: "That was before, since the surname Zhu came, the adults have trusted him more and more, cough... Cough... Ahem, don't tell me anything about yourself. ”

The woman comforted him and said: "Don't worry, master, it's okay to think about it, maybe tomorrow things will be settled, in addition, if Lord Zhang is not a last resort, he will not easily push you out, how can a down-to-earth and capable person like you be easy to find now." ”

Ruan Feng seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and couldn't help nodding and saying: "Yes, I have been loyal to adults all these years, and there is also a patrol, cough... Cough... Ahem, this big seal is estimated to be found soon, ahem... Cough... Ahem..."

The husband and wife chattered and talked for a long time, but it was nothing more than the woman comforting Ruan Feng and telling him not to worry. After the two people on the roof heard it, they felt that there was no more useful thing, one of them quietly gestured to the other, the two of them were as light as swallows, they climbed down the wall, jumped lightly, and left the Ruan family, they really came and went freely, without a trace.

The two of them arrived at a secluded place, one pulled down his scarf, although the night was thick, but his two eyes were as bright as stars, and he was the golden knife to catch Ding Si, and the other was Hu Runze.

Ding Si pondered and said: "Wu Hai told me that day, he looked at the big seal on the paper, it didn't look like it was forged, and tonight Ruan Feng said very clearly, the big seal was lost the day before yesterday, so it seems that our first assumption is not very likely, Quanzhou Yamen should not lose the official seal first, and then act coyly and make a big seal that has just been lost." Then it is very likely that in the second case, someone wants to see Zhang Hansheng's jokes, deliberately let out the wind, and then make him lose face. If this is the case, this person is estimated to have a backhand, and this matter alone will not pose much of a threat to Zhang Hansheng. It's just that Zhang Hansheng has an enmity with whom? ”

Hu Runze's newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger, and said loudly: "My lord, why don't we break into the yamen at night and find out what arrangements Zhang Hansheng has." ”

Ding Si thought for a while, nodded and said: "Because I don't dare to divulge my identity, I can't ask Zhang Hansheng directly many questions, Lord Wu has gone to a dead end again, I have to start with the Taoist priest, and I can't ask him to ask, since this is the case, let's break into the prefect's yamen and see what we can find out." He saw Hu Runze's eagerness to try, and hurriedly advised: "But we must be careful this time, the prefect's yamen has lost the seal, and the precautions will be stricter." ”

The two of them discussed and stopped, then pulled up the face towel firmly, and disappeared into the night. It didn't take much effort for Ding Si and Hu Runze to appear in the prefect's yamen. Tonight, the guards are really more serious, but Ding Si and the two are masters in the errands, and they quietly touched into the yamen, at this time the yamen was quiet, Ding Si wanted to go to the back house with Hu Runze, and suddenly saw that there was a light in a room in the distance, and immediately hid his body behind a big tree, and covered his tracks to death, he looked at it for a while, and vaguely felt that this should be the prefect's study, thinking: The night is so deep, is Zhang Hansheng still in the study, his heart moved, staring at the room from afar, and his eyes did not blink. Hu Runze saw that he was looking seriously, so he leaned into his ear and said, "My lord, let's touch it?" ”

Ding Si held Hu Runze and shook his head: "You see that there are many guards in ambush near this house, and the security is much stricter than that of other places, so we must not act rashly." ”

After waiting for another half a day, Ding Si saw that the guard was not a little relaxed, and gently pulled Hu Runze and said: "It is estimated that Zhang Hansheng was frightened by the loss of the seal, if we want to inquire about people who have hatred with him, we don't have to take such a risk, let's withdraw first tonight, and find another way after we go back." ”

Ding Si and Hu Runze flashed away, and in the study not far away, the lights were extremely bright, and Zhang Hansheng was listening carefully to the whispers of his master Zhu Keyong in his ear, with a serious look on his face.
