XVII Disputes

The sky is bright, in a vacant land, there are two people have posed, and then practice fists and feet, these two people are tall, long and jade, boxing is also the wind everywhere, tiger and tiger, only to see the two of them as quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, punching kung fu sharp, solid kung fu under the plate, fierce attack, strict defense, people can't help but admire, the two practiced to the end, are full of interest, sweating profusely, under the reflection of the morning light, more and more spirited, heroic. These two people are Ding Si and Hu Runze, they get up half an hour early every day to practice their fists and feet, rain or shine, and never fall.

After a set of punches, both of them were sweating profusely, Ding Si collected his fists and kicks, and said to Hu Runze in admiration: "Runze, you are getting more and more powerful." ”

Hu Runze wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve: "I didn't learn it from adults, I also feel that I have improved a lot, and I thank you for your advice." ”

Ding Si glanced at Hu Runze: "You kid is getting better and better at talking,"

Hu Runze wiped his sweat embarrassedly: "My lord, this is what I said in my heart." He suddenly remembered something and asked, "My lord, are you going to go out on an unannounced visit with Lord Wu today?" Can you bring me with you? ”

Ding Si said with some hesitation: "I look at Lord Wu's situation yesterday, I'm afraid I have to secretly visit the Taoist priest today, I have to find a time to tell him, although the emperor has this meaning, but there is no evidence is inconclusive, the emperor's words are also a reference, the specific situation has to be treated specifically, you must not be preconceived, it is determined that it is the Taoist priest who is responsible, but I just don't know if Lord Wu listens to it or not." ”

The two walked towards the prefect's yamen as they spoke, and before they reached the door, they saw a person running forward, and asked with a little hesitation and expectation: "Excuse me, which one is Ding Zhukuai?" ”

Ding Si and the two stopped, only to see that this person was about thirty years old, very shrewd and neat, lean, slender hands and feet, eyes full of smiles, people at first sight, very cordial, he was wearing a lake blue robe, black boots, this is an ordinary clothes he wore a little free and uninhibited.

Ding Si saw that this person was alive, and he didn't know what this person meant, so he said with a little hesitation: "I don't know what Brother Tai is looking for Ding Zhu to do?" ”

The man hurriedly patted his head and said in a loud voice: "I am reckless, and I haven't had time to introduce myself yet." My uncle is Lin Zhongfeng, I am his nephew Lin Zhengdao, yesterday I happened to meet the Wu family's mother-in-law, I heard her say, there is a Beijing surnamed Ding the day before yesterday to the uncle's house, Wu mother-in-law said that he left a message when he left, there is news from the uncle, let the family go to the yamen. ”

When Ding Si heard him say this, he realized that the mother-in-law had made a mistake in her busy schedule, and she thought that she and Hu Runze had come to spread the word for Lin Zhongfeng, so she nodded to Lin Zhengdao apologetically and said: "It's troublesome for Brother Taibai to go on this trip, and Japan went to visit Brother Lin before the next day, but unfortunately, Brother Lin went out." He arched his hand and said: "Under the surname Ding Mingfu Xin, he is also related to Uncle Ling, because of his temperament, so he hit it off at first sight, I haven't seen him for about a few years, and everything is fine with him now." ”

Lin Zhengdao's face showed a slight disappointment, but he quickly covered it up and said: "Uncle, everything is fine with his old man, and his majesty should be Ding Zhukuai in the capital, but my uncle has been mentioning you, saying that you are a righteous person, jealous and hateful, and a man worthy of friendship, and it is really my blessing to have the honor to meet you today." ”

Ding Si asked again, "Where did Mr. Lin go to play this time?" ”

Lin Zhengdao said distressedly: "Uncle, his old man often comes to the place of interest, so he got up, this time after the New Year, he suddenly said that he wanted to go to the Tianshan Mountains to see the demeanor of the snow lotus, so he prepared his bags and took advantage of the excitement. ”

Ding Si praised: "Mr. Lin is really a master of the world, and his hidden style is admirable. He also told him: "I have this confidential matter when I go to Quanzhou this time, and it is inconvenient for my identity to be revealed, so you must not tell outsiders." ”

Lin Zhengdao didn't care, and changed his words at the moment: "Then I'll dare to call Brother Ding." And warmly said to Ding Si: "Uncle has always praised Brother Ding, so I can't help but admire, today I have a fate to meet, suddenly feel that the three lives are lucky, in the next is not talented, I want to invite my uncle to do a host, today at noon prepared a banquet, please Brother Ding to enjoy a face, to the cold house as a guest." Ding Si was about to excuse himself, when he suddenly saw Wu Hai coming over with great interest, and when he saw Ding Si from a distance, he beckoned and said, "Ding Shilang, come ......."

Ding Si hurriedly walked over, only to see Wu Hai in good spirits, and lowered his voice and said to Ding Si: "Yesterday, I stayed up late to read the record booklet, and there was a major discovery? ”

Ding Si saw that his eyes were a little dark, and he really looked like he hadn't slept well, but his spirit was surprisingly good, so he had to ask, "What did Mr. Wu find?" ”

Wu Hai cleared his throat and said mysteriously: "In the past two or three months, there has really been an unknown Taoist priest in Quanzhou City, this Taoist priest walks the streets and alleys, claiming to be able to catch monsters and subjugate monsters, but everyone asked him Baoguan, and he couldn't say clearly, only said that he was a Hanyi Taoist and had always traveled in all directions. However, this old way does have some ability, and it didn't take long for the people of Quanzhou to spread him to the gods, saying that he was a real disciple of Lu Chunyang, and he wanted to save the world. I read the brochure last night, and Liu Ergou of the tailor shop asked him to cure his wife's illness, and he also asked him to catch demons at dawn, and it is rumored that the spell is very powerful. It's just that this man has no fixed place to live, and his exact whereabouts are not yet known. ”

After Ding Si heard Wu Hai finish speaking, he couldn't help but say loudly: "My lord, Ding Si has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Wu Hai hurriedly said, "But it's okay to talk about it. ”

Ding Si Zhengse said: "My lord, there was a big bird flying by that night, and someone must have struck the west to attract the attention of the guards, but there is no evidence that it was the Taoist priest who committed the crime. I think it's possible that Lord Zhang offended someone, so he first went to the capital to spread rumors, and then took advantage of our arrival in Quanzhou to steal the Great Seal, if I guessed correctly, the people behind the scenes will definitely come up with something else to do. ”

Although he said sincerely, Wu Hai didn't listen to a word, but felt that Ding Si was a little confused, he thought to himself: I originally came to see that you were a popular person in front of the emperor, and I wanted to give you some credit, but I didn't expect this person to be arrogant and arrogant, and he had to be involved in solving the case.

He was unhappy, and the expression on his face was a little impatient: "Ding Zhukuai just listen to my arrangement, the old man has his own opinions." ”

Ding Si still didn't give up, and continued to persuade: "I know the emperor's thoughts, back then, Wei Xing plotted rebellion, just to pretend to be a ghost and god to cause trouble, but now that the times have changed, there will never be such a coincidence. ”

Wu Hai heard him mention the past, and only then did he think of the legend that Ding Si secretly helped Zhu Youji, so he was named "Golden Knife Catcher", and couldn't help but ease his face, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Ding Zhukuai said very much, Ding Zhuai has been working hard in the past two days, and there are also strong martial arts among the guards I lead, you can rest and adjust today." After finishing speaking, he ignored Ding Si and arranged for another guard to make an unannounced visit with him. *

When Ding Si saw Wu Hai, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself, he didn't expect this Lord Wu to be so stubborn, it seems that he can't say it so bluntly next time.

He got up and walked to Hu Runze and Lin Zhengdao, the two were chatting happily, Hu Runze was obviously very speculative with Lin Zhengdao, and when he saw Ding Si coming over, he said excitedly: "My lord, Brother Lin is really a wonderful person, I saw him today, I can imagine what kind of demeanor Mr. Lin should have, this place in Quanzhou is really outstanding." ”

Here, Lin Zhengdao was full of expectation: "If the adults don't dislike it, go to the grass people's house to drink a glass of thin wine, I can also tell the adults about the people and customs of Quanzhou, and when my uncle comes back, I will also have the face to see him." ”

When Ding Si heard him say this, his heart moved, and he secretly thought: I think this Lin Zhengdao is a transparent person, why don't you take the opportunity to inquire about Zhang Hansheng's affairs, if you are lucky, you may have an accident. Thinking of this, he no longer shirked, nodded to Lin Zhengdao and said, "So it's bothering." ”

When Lin Zhengdao heard his promise, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and personally took Ding Si's arm, led Ding Si and Hu Runze into the carriage, and went all the way.
