Three-six clues

The spring breeze blows all over Quanzhou Prefecture, and there is spring and vitality everywhere, but the shack area on the side of the ** is like a corner forgotten by spring, there are only low shacks, bad smells, ragged people, no green leaves and flowers, no laughter and noise. Ding Si and Hu Runze walked in the afterglow, their shoes were covered with mud, and even the hem of their robes was splashed with mud, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their lips were a little dry. They stayed in the shack area for an afternoon, like a filter asked all the people who could ask here, everyone didn't know when Zhao Lao Niang's family disappeared, and they didn't know where Zhao Lao Niang's family went, here, everyone only cared about filling their stomachs, even if they were sick, they had to resign themselves to fate, and it was not enough to worry about other people's lives and deaths, Zhao Lao Niang was here with three grandchildren, and the people around him were alive and well, and the people around him were alive and hard, In their hearts, it is not necessarily a bad thing to disappear suddenly, maybe they will hand over good luck and never have to stay in this poor and dirty place again.

Ding Si saw that the sun was about to set, and he couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on his face, he couldn't find Zhao Yihan's wife, and Han Yi's clue was broken, who took his family? Could it be that Zhao Yihan's family is in the hands of others, so Han Yi, that is, Zhao Yihan, had no choice but to tell some nonsense according to others' instructions, and then committed suicide in front of others? If that's the case, who is behind it? Is it Zhang Hansheng? If it was Zhang Hansheng, it wouldn't be so risky just to cover up the disappearance of the Great Seal, right? If an official loses the big seal, the court will punish him according to the circumstances, but at most, he will be punished for a few months or will be affected by the assessment, not to mention that the loss of the big seal has been known to himself and Wu Hai, no matter how much he covers it up, it will not help, and pulling Han Yi over in a hurry is just a snake to add to the case, is it necessary for Zhang Hansheng to do this? If it weren't for Zhang Hansheng, only Wu Hai, himself, Zhang Hansheng and Chang Ruyu knew about the arrangement to catch Han Yi that day, except for Wu Hai and himself, was Zhang Hansheng or Chang Ruyu leaking the news?

A huge mystery will Ding Si's head full, he looked up at the sunset hanging in the sky, it is still glowing yellow, not at all because of the arrival of the night will be eclipsed, even if the sun goes down, there will be a moon rising, the sun and the moon alternate, there is always a ray of light in this world, piercing this boundless darkness, making people feel at ease, not to be swallowed by the darkness.

Ding Si and Hu Runze walked on the road, there are lush grasses on both sides of the road, the wind blows and makes a rustling sound, the green grass here, the road is flat, although it is not far from the shack area, but it has been clearly felt that it is two worlds, from here to a distance away, it is the wharf, at this time the wharf is still full of people, people come and go, and the road connecting the wharf and the city is also full of traffic, quite a bit of impassable look.

Ding Si and Hu Runze were about to leave, when they suddenly heard a voice say, "Great good man, great good man." The voice was so childish, as if the wind would blow and disappear into the wind.

Ding Si and Hu Runze didn't care when they heard this voice, they still walked up, and then they heard the voice a little anxious, and their voices were much louder: "Great good man, I want to find a great good man from Zhao Lao Niang." ”

In this noise, the three words of Zhao Lao Niang clearly reached the ears of Ding Si and Hu Runze, they were in a certain figure, and their eyes searched around, only to see a dirty child crawling out of the grass, dressed in tatters, although his face was full of mud, but he smiled and walked straight towards Ding Si and Hu Runze. Ding Si was thinking about who this child was, and the child walked up to them happily and said in a childish voice: "Great good man, aren't you looking for Brother Huzi and Mrs. Zhao?" ”

Ding Si heard this and remembered who this child was, it turned out that he and Hu Runze met in the shack yesterday morning, it was this child who told him when Zhao Laoniang's family disappeared, and he didn't know what this child was hiding here.

While pondering, the child said impatiently: "Great good man, I hid here that day, watching Zhao Laoniang's family get into the carriage, and the person who took them was sick, and he has been coughing cough cough, although he didn't show up, but I heard his voice." ”

Ding Si and Hu Runze glanced at each other, both of them were happy in their hearts, and the situation of one person coughing and talking came to their minds. Ding Si bent down and touched the child's head: "You are here to wait for us and tell us about this?" ”

The child nodded with a satisfied smile.

Ding Si smiled gently at him: "You are such a good boy. Then he asked, "Tell Uncle that you have eaten meat?" ”

The child was still smiling, he shook his head, and said loudly: "I gave the silver to my mother, although I didn't eat meat, but my mother used the silver to ask the doctor to get medicine, and my mother said that Sini will not leave us." ”

Although the child was thin, he always had a happy smile on his face, he wiped his face and waved his hand to Ding Si and Hu Runze: "Great benevolent, I have to go home, so that my mother won't be able to find me worry." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the shack area. Ding Si signaled to Hu Runze, Hu Runze strode up, and stuffed a piece of silver in his hand, the child refused to accept it, Hu Runze bent down and whispered a few words in his ear, the child stopped struggling, took the silver and bowed to Hu Runze, bowed to Ding Si, and then ran away.

Hu Runze watched the kid run away, turned around and walked to Ding Si's side. Ding Si asked curiously, "What did you say to that kid, and he took the silver happily?" ”

Hu Runze replied with a smile on his eyebrows: "I told him, let him grow up quickly, and when he has the ability to make money, he will go to Beijing Shuntianfu to find a man named Ding Si, and then return the money." ”

Ding Si couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard Hu Runze say this, but Hu Runze said anxiously: "My lord, what this kid told us is really useful, let's go to Ruan's house that night to investigate, didn't Ruan Feng's guy cough badly?" ”

Ding Si nodded: "Yes, although this kid didn't see what the person who picked up Mrs. Zhao looked like, but this is also a clue, as for whether it is Ruan Feng, let's just wait to see the evidence, if Ruan Feng did this, we must leave clues, it seems that we have to pay more attention to Ruan Feng secretly." ”

Hu Runze looked at the sunset that was gradually sinking in the sky, couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that we have gained a lot today, first I learned from Mr. Gu that Wang Zhiyang begged for a kite, and then I knew from this child's mouth that the person who took Zhao Lao Niang had been coughing, and it happened that Ruan Feng couldn't stop coughing in those days, and it had a lot to do with this case." If I had to speculate boldly, maybe Ruan Feng accidentally learned that Lord Wu suspected that the demon Dao had committed a crime, and wanted to arrest Han Yi for interrogation, so Ruan Feng started in advance, found out Han Yi's identity, arrested his family as hostages first, and secretly forced Han Yi to take the case down. ”

Ding Si looked at Hu Runze's very interested appearance, and couldn't help but say: "Runze, I once said that we can be bold in doubt, but we must also be careful to verify." Let me ask you a few questions, first, why did Ruan Feng force Han Yi to take on this case? ”

Hu Runze didn't want to answer: "If Zhang Hansheng is punished or affected during the assessment, he will naturally be angry with Ruan Feng, Ruan Feng's future depends on Zhang Hansheng, he naturally has to be anxious to minimize the consequences of this case, with the result of demon piracy, Wu Hai is satisfied, the emperor is satisfied, Zhang Hansheng's mistakes will be changed from big to small, and Ruan Feng's responsibility will be much less?" ”

Ding Si asked again: "Second, that day, Wu Hai overheard Chang saying that he wanted to invite Han Yi to enter the mansion to catch demons, and he temporarily had the heart to catch Han Yi, at that time, only Wu Hai, Zhang Hansheng, me and Chang were there, and even Chang's brother Chang Ruchun didn't know, who leaked this news to Ruan Feng?" ”

Hu Runze was stunned, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "My lord, I remember that Wu Hai kept saying that there was a Taoist priest named Han Yi who was mysterious before that day, and as a result, there was another incident of Han Yi entering the prefect's mansion to catch demons, if he was a caring person, he would definitely guess that Wu Hai would definitely arrest him." ”

When Ding Si heard him say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and only said after a while: "I never thought of what you said, it's not impossible." ”

Hu Runze was affirmed, and his speech became smooth: "Or maybe Zhang Hansheng accidentally leaked the news." ”

Ding Si nodded, and asked again: "Third, how did Ruan Feng quietly take away Zhao Laoniang's family?" How did he use Zhao Lao Niang's family to threaten Han Yi? ”

Hu Runze thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't answer anymore, so he had to touch his chin and say, "It is estimated that only Ruan Feng knows this matter best in his heart." ”

Ding Si's eyes were dark and shining at dusk: "So, whether Ruan Feng did this or not, there must be evidence to prove it, and our top priority now is to find out what Ruan Feng has done in the past few days." ”

The night gradually covered the earth, obscuring everything, and the sun's shadow faded, but at the same time, a moon rose again, so that the night would not be dark.
