37 Ruan Feng
Sanqi Ruan Feng
"Ruan Feng, forty-five years old, since Hongzhi six years as Zhang Hansheng Siyin, has been in charge of the big seal, usually work diligently, won the trust of Zhang Hansheng, Ruan Feng usually regards himself as Zhang Hansheng's confidant, loyal to Zhang Hansheng, obedient to his words, has a wife and a concubine, two sons and three daughters."
Ding Si held a thin piece of paper with only a few words written on it. On the third day of Wu Hai's limit, Ding Si and Hu Runze sat in a private seat in the teahouse, he took a piece of paper written by Hu Runze, savored it, the two acted separately in the morning, one went to inquire about Ruan Feng and his family, and the other went to inquire about Ruan Feng's whereabouts these days, and at noon, the two had finished investigating, Hu Runze wrote down the situation on a piece of paper, a few words, there was nothing abnormal, but in addition to the situation on the paper, Hu Runze obviously heard other news, he was in the tea rush, Clearly narrated to Ding Si:
"That Ruan Feng is said to have a little talent when he was a teenager, and he became famous in one fell swoop when he participated in the children's examination, so he looked forward to participating in the imperial examination, soaring to the sky in one fell swoop, and soaring to the sky, but he didn't expect to go to the township examination, he participated in it four times in a row, and returned every time, his family was a broken household, and he expected Ruan Feng to have some interest, but he didn't want to be stuck in the township examination all the time, and after taking the exam four times, he had no money for him to study, and his brothers in his family were quite unhappy because Ruan Feng spent money studying all day, and saw that Ruan Feng had no hope, and they were all cynical, I can't wait to point at his nose and scold him every day. Within a few years, his old son and mother died, Ruan Feng couldn't stay at home, he was forced to have no choice, and he couldn't pick his shoulder and couldn't carry his shoulders when he read and read, so he had to leave home, not wanting to be coincidental, he accidentally met Zhang Hansheng, starting with a knife and pen official, and over time, he gradually gained Zhang Hansheng's trust, so during his tenure as the prefect of Quanzhou, he has always sent Ruan Feng to be the seal. He said that he was thirsty, picked up the teacup and drank the tea in a big gulp, wiped his mouth and continued: "My lord also knows that this seal also has many benefits, such as every official seal, especially if the private trade needs to be signed in the government, it is indispensable to have a heart red silver, that Ruan Feng has gained many benefits in six years, so his hands are slowly widened, otherwise, it is difficult to raise several people in his family." Ruan Feng is usually quite low-key, and his reputation among colleagues is also good, although he is quite trusted by Zhang Hansheng, but he never takes advantage of Zhang Hansheng's prestige to act, he is also a little smart, and he is also a little anxious and wise at a critical moment. He picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water, drank it and continued: "It is rumored that when Ruan Feng first took over the post of Si Yin, the former Si Yin was not convinced, and secretly took the key that was assigned before to take away the big seal, wanting to embarrass Ruan Feng, but he didn't expect Ruan Feng to find that the seal box was a lot lighter, so he guessed that someone was making trouble, he quietly pretended to use the big seal on Zhang Hansheng's order, handed over the seal box to the former Si Yin, and let him send it to Zhang Hansheng, and then walked away without waiting for the former Si Yin to react, the former Si Yin had no choice, so he had to secretly put the big seal into the seal box, Ruan Feng didn't reveal it, and secretly asked Zhang Hansheng to change the key, and since then, he has been firmly seated in the position of the seal. ”
Ding Si listened very seriously, his two thick black brows were slightly wrinkled together, his eyes were a little narrow because of the slight narrowing, he listened to Hu Runze's narration, and praised in his mouth: "Very good, Runze, it's really good that you can inquire about so much news in such a short time." A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I have some news here, too." He cleared his throat and said: "We came to Quanzhou on March 24, when March 25 was picked up by Zhang Hansheng, on March 26 we found that the big seal was missing, that night we sneaked into Ruan Feng's house, combined with the various circumstances to probe inquire, it was concluded that the big seal was really about the disappearance at night, on April 1, Wu Hai caught Han Yi, that is, that Zhao Yihan, on the same day he admitted that he stole the big seal, but the words were not clear, but on April 2, Han Yi said some nonsense, and then he died. Therefore, I calculated, Han Yi must not know what happened when he came to catch the demon, he was captured by the messenger and then sent to the second hall for questioning, which is also a stick of incense, if Ruan Feng robbed Zhao Lao Niang the night before, then, this time of incense he will definitely find an opportunity to find Han Yi and secretly threaten him, and he will definitely approach Han Yi at night and explain what he will do the next day, therefore, I will focus on checking his whereabouts on April 1 and April 2, guess what I found out? ”
Hu Runze saw a faint smile in Ding Si's eyes, and immediately asked impatiently, "Tell me, adult." ”
Ding Si's eyes looked at the few tea leaves floating in the teacup, and said unhurriedly: "On the afternoon of April 1, just after Wu Hai arranged to catch the cold and easy, Ruan Feng went to see Zhang Hansheng, because Zhang Hansheng was talking to Zhu Keyong at that time, Ruan Feng waited outside the study for a while, and when Zhu Keyong came out, Ruan Feng went to see Zhang Hansheng, the two talked about the time of half a cup of tea in the house, Ruan Feng hurried out, that afternoon, Ruan Feng stayed in the yamen, and when it was time, Ruan Feng left the yamen, and he didn't return home until Hai Shi, During the period from Youshi to Haishi, no one saw him again, and no one knew what he had done. On April 2, Han Yi was arrested and sent to the cell, from the time he was in the cell to the time he was brought to the second hall for questioning, there was about an hour, during this hour, what Ruan Feng did, no one knows, because the guards of the cell are all from Quanzhou Prefecture, no matter how I ask him, no one has seen Han Yi, but I think he should have lied, on the evening of April 2, Ruan Feng did not eat at home, this time the jailer admitted that Ruan Feng learned that Han Yi admitted his mistake and couldn't wait to go to the cell and scolded Han Yi heavily. After he finished speaking, he paused and said: "Therefore, I think that Ruan Feng is suspicious, but I don't know if he himself dared to instruct Han Yi, or if there was someone else behind him." ”
Hu Runze also said with certainty: "Judging from the news we have received, Ruan Feng is very likely to do something that is easy to admit guilt. He suddenly slapped the table and said, "My lord, do you remember that Han Yi said a few inexplicable words before he died, and then Ruan Feng guessed the hiding place of the Great Seal." ”
Ding Si nodded and said: "I also thought of this, but all of this is our speculation, and the most important thing is that there is no evidence that Ruan Feng took away Zhao Lao Niang and the others, and threatened Han Yi with them." ”
Hu Runze sighed and said: "My lord, time is tight now, in two days, Lord Wu will force us to go back to Beijing again, and we have no helpers here, and it is not easy to find evidence." ”
Ding Si was silent for a while and said: "Runze, you are right, let's put these aside, now there is a key question, if Han Yi is pushed out to take the blame, then who will be the one who stole the Great Seal?" What is this man's intention in stealing the Great Seal? ”
Hu Runze was also silent, the tea gradually became cold in the cup, Ding Si pondered and said: "Let's assume first, if it wasn't for Han Yi stealing the Great Seal, if it was Ruan Feng who either made his own initiative or was instructed by someone to make Han Yi admit the crime, then what did the person who really stole the Great Seal do?" He not only spread the news of the Demon Dao piracy in the capital, but also stole the big seal when we arrived in Quanzhou, he must have wanted to see Zhang Hansheng's jokes, in this case, how could he be willing to let the scene he designed change something? That Ruan Feng kept saying that if the big seal came out again, someone must have forged it, and he would block the back road where the person took out the big seal, this person was annoyed and angry, what would he do? And this person is very good and can come and go freely in the prefect's office, will he stop there? ”
When he said this, Hu Runze couldn't help but take the case: "My lord, that person will definitely wait for the opportunity to commit murder next to Zhang Hansheng, and he will not give up." ”
Ding Si glanced at Hu Runze: "In the past two days, let's keep an eye on Zhang Hansheng's side to see what happens." ”
