27. Analysis of the case

When Zhang Hansheng came out of the study, his face had returned to normal, and he had become the prefect with a dignified face and no anger and self-authority that everyone usually saw, but he was a little surprised when he walked a few steps out of the study, because he saw Ding Si standing not far away, and it was sunset, and the afterglow gilded Ding Si with a layer of gold edges, making him look energetic.

Ding Si saw Zhang Hansheng come out, stepped forward, and said, "What a coincidence, I was looking for Master Zhang, but I ran into Master Zhang." ”

Zhang Hansheng saw that the smile on Ding Si's face was like the spring wind, his straight body was like a sharp sword, and his elegant and stubborn temperament appeared on him contradictory and harmonious, which made people both willing and cordial but not to be underestimated. The corners of his mouth also pulled a smile, and he said to Ding Si: "I don't know what happened to the golden knife catch?" ”

Ding Siyi pointed to the small garden not far away, and said to Zhang Hansheng, "Master Zhang borrowed a step to speak. ”

The garden in spring is particularly beautiful, the flowers in the garden are very lively, butterflies and bees are in groups, and they can't help but linger among the flowers, which makes people feel refreshed and deeply intoxicated. Ding Si and Zhang Hansheng stood in the garden, dressed in afterglow, but they were talking about things that did not match this spring color at all.

Ding Si glanced at Zhang Hansheng, Zhang Hansheng only felt that there was a deep meaning in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be alert all of a sudden, only to hear Ding Si say unhurriedly: "This time, Lord Wu and I came to Quanzhou because the emperor heard some rumors in the capital. Zhang Hansheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard him get straight to the point and directly say his intention to come to Quanzhou. Ding Si didn't care about Zhang Hansheng's reaction, and still said: "This rumor Lord Zhang should have learned from Lord Wu, to the effect that Lord Zhang befriended the Demon Dao, and the Demon Dao stole the Great Seal, and Lord Zhang was afraid to report it." Because of Wei Xing's rebellion back then, the emperor was afraid that someone would take advantage of ghosts and gods to make trouble, so he took precautions and sent me and Master Zhang to Quanzhou. He stopped and looked at Zhang Hansheng with a smile in his eyes.

Zhang Hansheng saw that Ding Si was not hiding it, so he simply nodded and said: "What's more coincidental is that Lord Wu really caught the demon Dao Hanyi, and this demon Dao confessed, and the whereabouts of the Great Seal were also found." ”

Ding Si changed the topic and said, "In addition to Lord Wu investigating the case, Lord Zhang should also send someone to investigate this case, right?" ”

Zhang Hansheng confessed: "This is natural, the loss of the Great Seal is very important, and I will definitely investigate it carefully." ”

Ding Si asked with a smile again, "I don't know what the adults have found?" ”

Zhang Hansheng pointed to the stone bench in the garden and said to Ding Si: "Ding Zhu, please sit down first, let me talk in detail." The two sat down on the stool, and Zhang Hansheng said slowly:

"After Lord Wu came to Quanzhou, he said that he wanted to use the word 'spring' on the big seal, I felt a little far-fetched, but I didn't care about it at the time, and when the big seal was lost, I secretly guessed whether Lord Wu heard any rumors, so I came to check the seal. Then I thought that if someone first released the news of the loss of my Great Seal, and then stole the Great Seal, there was only one purpose for this purpose, to make the imperial court punish me for my crimes and cut off my path to promotion. I'm also thinking hard about who I have offended to make him go to such great lengths to do this? But when I sent people to investigate the case seriously, Lord Wu found out about the theft of the demon road, although I also don't believe in this god and ghost, but Lord Wu is conclusive, and this evidence is also conclusive, so I half-believe Lord Wu's words. He stopped to look at the sunset that was gradually sinking, and continued: "After the Great Seal was lost, I also seriously investigated the case, and this Great Seal was indeed lost that night, and there is no such thing as the officials below guarding and stealing it. On the night when the big seal was lost, there was a strange thing, a big bird hovered in the air, and the servants coveted the big bird, but someone took advantage of it, I thought about it with the staff for a long time, and felt that this big bird must have been made by people, and ordinary birds flew far away when they saw people, how could they not stop circling? Therefore, I boldly guessed, this bird is vivid in the night, maybe it is a bird made of materials similar to kites, I made people to investigate, and found out that Quanzhou City to make kites is the most realistic is the east of the city Gu Changchang, I wanted to find him, let him recall, whether he has made such a kite, but this Gu Changchang actually went out to travel, so I had to wait for him to go home. At this time, Lord Wu caught Han Yi, and the next day Han Yi confessed to piracy. ”

Ding Si actually thought of it with himself when he heard what he said, and couldn't help sighing: This Zhang Hansheng is really a capable person. While pondering, I heard Zhang Hansheng ask, "What do you think of this matter?" ”

Ding Si wanted to talk to him today, so he didn't hide it, and said: "I also don't believe that there is a demon road piracy, I secretly checked the details of Han Yi, he turned out to be a scoundrel in Quanzhou Mansion, originally named Zhao Yihan, and later ran to Zhangzhou because of a mistake and injured people's lives, this time he came back and turned into a Taoist priest Han Yi, after Lord Hu caught Han Yi, his old mother and two sons and a daughter disappeared, and the next day, he honestly admitted that he stole the seal, and also found a big seal destroyed by one party. He stared at Zhang Hansheng's eyes, only to see Zhang Hansheng frank and open, and said to Ding Si: "Ding Zhu, you suspect that I arranged someone to do this." To tell you honestly, someone stole my big seal, and I was also annoyed in my heart, I hated to catch this person with a thousand cuts, and I would never do anything to force Han Yi to confess his guilt. ”

Ding Si heard that he was sincere, closed his gaze, and said quietly: "But this matter must not have been done by Lord Wu, Lord Wu concluded that it was a Taoist priest who did the case, but it was a preconceived idea, plus he obeyed the emperor's words, so he had such an idea, but if it is a fabrication of evidence to seek the emperor's reward, it is not Lord Wu's style of acting." ”

Zhang Hansheng's eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say about the golden knife catcher, but it doesn't hurt to say it?" ”

Ding Si heard his direct question, so he didn't go around in circles with him, and asked directly: "If this big seal can't be found, this case can't be solved, in addition to the future promotion of the adult, who among the officials under the adult is the most responsible?" Who will be penalized? ”

Zhang Hansheng replied without thinking: "Si Yin Ruan Feng." ”

Ding Si asked again: "If this case is condemned as a demon road piracy, who can get out of it and no longer be punished?" ”

Zhang Hansheng replied without thinking: "It's still Ruan Feng." ”

Ding Si nodded: "Therefore, I suspect that Ruan Feng was afraid of being punished, and seeing that Lord Wu was bent on catching the demon Dao, he did actions that should not be done behind his back, and closed the case in a daze." ”

Zhang Hansheng shook his head resolutely and said, "Ruan Feng is someone I can trust, he will definitely not do such a thing." ”

Ding Si didn't argue with him, and said loudly: "My lord, although I am a fast catcher, I have never been afraid of catching the wrong person, if Ruan Feng did such a thing, he should naturally bear the consequences, if he didn't do such a thing, he was naturally not afraid of investigation." ”

Zhang Hansheng suddenly smiled and said: "Ding Zhu's fast is very suitable for my temper, and he is really happy." I'll make it clear to you here, if Ruan Feng had done something, I would definitely not have protected him, and if Ruan Feng hadn't done it, I wouldn't have watched him bear this injustice. ”

Ding Si didn't care about Zhang Hansheng's attitude, and asked Zhang Hansheng with a straight face: "Lord Zhang is the same as I thought, I still have something I want to ask here, I don't know if Lord Zhang has offended anyone?" ”

The expression on Zhang Hansheng's face was suddenly a little dazed, he thought about it and said: "Since I became the prefect of Quanzhou, I have always offended some people, but if someone does such a thing, I still can't think of it." ”

Ding Si didn't force him: "Then please think about it these days, and if there are any clues, let's discuss it in time." ”
