Seeing that this Ke Tuiguan looked pretentious and pretentious, Fang An was very dissatisfied and said: "Ke Tuiguan still don't play dumb riddles, hurry up and tell us the whereabouts of my young master, let's go find it earlier." ”

Ke Tuiguan wiped a little dirt from the mark on the wall again, and then twisted it with two fingers, and said: "This official has just tasted the taste of this soil, the dirt mark on this wall has another kind of soil in addition to the soil in the garden of Fangfu, if that person is wearing soap leather boots or cloth boots, this wall may only leave a kind of soil in the garden, but it happens that the person is wearing iron mesh boots, and the soles of iron mesh boots are different from the flat soles of ordinary boots, and there are many furrows at the bottom, which will let the mud that the soles of the person's feet are often stained with before stay on the boots, The soil of Fangfu is just the most common brown soil on the boundary of Beijing City, but the other kind of soil left by the man is the yellow-brown soil that is rare in Beijing City. ”

Fang An asked, "What's the difference between these two kinds of soil?" And what does it have to do with our young master's traces? ”

Ke Tuiguan continued: "This yellow-brown soil belongs to the excessive soil type of yellow-red soil and brown soil, which is suitable for the growth of broad-leaved woods, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference between yellow-brown soil and brown soil, but fortunately, this official does not belong to the ordinary people, and can just distinguish the small difference between these two kinds of soil. ”

At this time, even Yao Shun couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "It's important to find someone, Master Ke won't show it anymore, hurry up and tell me where the person is?" ”

Shangguan spoke, Ke Bei immediately put away his pretentious thoughts, and said to everyone: "There is only one place near the capital that this soil exists, and that is near Dongshan outside the camp in the city. Since that person often appears near Dongshan, I think your young master is not far from there, and Dongshan is located in the middle of nowhere, which is a good place for Tibetans. ”

Fang An arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Master Ke, I'm going to report the clues to my master." ”

After saying that, Fang An turned around and walked quickly towards Fang Congzhe's study, and the others didn't have to stay here anymore, and left with Fang An.

Fang An hurried to Fang Congzhe's study, and when he saw Fang Congzhe's languishing look, Fang An comforted: "Master, you must take care of your health, there are clues to the whereabouts of the young master." ”

As soon as he heard Fang An's words, Fang Congzhe's eyes immediately recovered, he got up and held Fang An's hands and asked, "Where is my son Shihong?" How is he doing now? ”

Fang An's hands hurt when he was grabbed by Fang Congzhe, but he still didn't break free, he endured the pain and replied: "The Ke Tuiguan of Shuntian Mansion speculates that the young master is in the east of the city. ”

Hearing that it was speculated by the magistrate of Shuntian Mansion, a trace of disappointment flashed in Fang Congdun's eyes, but he still asked, "How did the magistrate Ke know?" Have you sent someone to the east of the city to look for it? ”

"The old slave was afraid that the master would be worried and deliberately came to tell the master the news first, but he didn't have time to arrange it yet." After speaking, Fang An went on to briefly explain the analysis of the Shuntian Mansion Ke Tuiguan to Fang Congzhe.

Fang Congzhe nodded after hearing this and said, "Ke Tuiguan is thoughtful, you go for me to thank Ke Tuiguan, and quickly send someone to the east of the city to find it." ”

"Yes, sir." After Fang An finished speaking, he was about to go out to make arrangements, but just as he turned around and wanted to leave, a family member in the house hurriedly ran in and almost crashed into Fang An's arms.

Fang An reprimanded: "What kind of body is panicked." ”

"Yes, yes, it's ......," the man said breathlessly.

Fang An scolded impatiently: "What did you say?" ”

The man gasped and hurriedly said, "There is news of the young master." ”

Fang Congzhe asked excitedly, "Is it true?" What's the news? ”

"It's true, sir, the person who came to report the news is outside the door at this time."

"Quick, get that man in."

The guy didn't even get out of the door, but turned around and shouted outside, "Come in." ”

As soon as the family member finished shouting, he saw a young man wearing animal skin clothes with slanted shoulders walking in, and the family Ding said to the young man who came in: "This is our master, you can tell our master what you know." ”

The young man who came in listened to the words of the family, and tiptoed forward, he also knew that this was the mansion of the old man of the court, and the one sitting on it must be the old man of the court, and when he was still one step away from Fang Congzhe, the man knelt on the ground with a "poof", lowered his head and said to the other party: "My lord, the grass people are originally hunters in the east of the city." ”

Fang Congzhe saw this person's honest appearance, and said: "This is not in the yamen, the little brother doesn't have to kneel, and he doesn't need to call me an adult here." ”

When the hunter heard that he didn't need to kneel, he quickly got up and patted the clothes without dust on his knees, and then still lowered his head and said: "My lord, two days ago, the grass people were hunting in the mountains, because they were unlucky that day, and they didn't see a single prey for half a day, because the grass people's families were old and young and they counted on the grass people to hunt and live, so the grass people ran a little more into the mountains, so it was a little late when they went down the mountain to go home......

At this time, the family said impatiently: "Needless to say, these things are important." ”

At this time, a small family member of Fangfu also shook his majesty in front of the ordinary people.

The hunter was nervous, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the grass people have never read a book and can't speak, and a few masters will bear with it." When I was about to get out of the forest that day, I saw two people carrying a small sedan chair on the path, and there was a person walking forward next to him, just when the grass people were about to go out of the forest, I heard the person carrying the sedan chair and the person who followed outside the sedan chair quarreled, and the person who followed outside the sedan chair called the person in the sedan chair 'Brother Fang', because the grass people were very close at that time, and the grass people in the sedan chair also heard what the grass people said clearly. ”

Fang An on the side asked, "What did the person in the sedan chair say?" ”

Hearing someone next to him asking, the Orion turned his head and learned Fang Shihong's voice and said, "The person in the sedan chair said, 'Do you know who I am?' My father is the head of the court, aren't you afraid of my father's revenge? If you dare to hurt me, my father will definitely not let you go, you let me go as soon as possible, and I will treat this incident as if it didn't happen, otherwise, hum ......'"

Fang An looked at Fang Congzhe and said excitedly: "Master, it's the young master, it must be the young master." What this man said was the same as what Ke Tuiguan deduced, it was in the east of the city. After the other party finished speaking, Fang An looked at the hunter again and asked, "What happened later?" What happened? ”

The Orion said: "Then those people went away, and the grass people couldn't hear the words clearly, and the grass people were very scared at that time, because they were afraid of being discovered by the gang, so the grass people didn't dare to go out, and the grass people didn't dare to go home until they were far away." ”

Fang An then asked, "Where did you see those people in the east of the city?" ”

"Right at the foot of the East Mountain."

Fang Congzhe didn't pay much attention to it when he heard Fang An mention the east of the city before, at this time, this Orion mentioned the east of the city a few times, Fang Congzhe had always felt that the things he had forgotten seemed to have a little eyebrows in his mind before, until this Orion talked about Dongshan, Fang Congzhe suddenly remembered what was negligent, it was the cry for help and the feeling of uneasiness that he had been hearing in his ears when the Beijing camp was performing martial arts that day.

As soon as he thought of this, Fang Congzhe's brain was about to explode, and the whole person turned his back directly.

Fang An saw that the hunter was talking about his master and suddenly fainted, he hurriedly stepped a few steps to Fang Congzhe's seat, smoothed Fang Congzhe's chest with his hand a few times, and shouted a few times in his mouth: "Master, what's wrong with you, master?" Seeing that Fang Congzhe didn't react at all, Fang An stretched out his thumb and pinched Fang Congzhe's person, and while pinching, Fang An turned his head and shouted at the family who came with Orion: "Don't go and call the doctor yet." ”

As soon as the family heard this, he hurriedly ran out, and before he reached the door, Fang Congzhe slowly transformed, and then took Fang An's hand and said, "Go, go, take me to Dongshan." ”

Fang An dissuaded: "Master, how can you go to Dongshan like this, I still ask the doctor to come and show you, just leave the matter of finding the young master to the old slave, you can rest at home." ”

Fang Congzhe spoke weakly, but his words were firm: "Take me quickly." ”

Fang An still wanted to persuade again, but Fang Congzhe roared angrily in a low throat: "I'm not dead yet, go quickly, are I a fart if I say it?" ”

Usually, Fang Congzhe would say such vulgar words, but at this time, where could he still take care of this, and he scolded in a hurry.

"Yes, sir." After speaking, Fang An said to the family who hadn't left yet: "Go and prepare a sedan chair for the master." ”

Fang Congzhe listened to Fang An's arrangement and said weakly: "No, no, don't prepare a sedan chair, go prepare a carriage." ”

"Sir...... Your body ......"

"Do as I say." After speaking, Fang Congzhe closed his eyes and rested for a while.

After resting for a while, Fang Congzhe broke away and saw that the hunter was still standing there, Fang Congzhe said: "Fang An, you first take this little brother to the account room to receive fifty taels of silver, and then let him lead the way for us." ”

"Yes, sir."

As soon as he heard that there was a silver reward, the hunter hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "Thank you, Lord for the reward." ”

Soon, Fang An took the hunter to receive the silver, and the family also prepared the carriage.

Fang An and Yin Yao Shun of Shuntian Mansion greeted each other, and then told Yao Shun what the hunter said, and then said: "Our young master must have been kidnapped by gangsters, I took a few guards to the foot of the East Mountain in the east of the city with our master to look for it, this matter is under the rule of Lord Yao, Lord Yao should go back to the Yamen first and bring more people to handle the case." ”

After saying to Yao Shun, Fang An saluted to Na Ke Tuiguan and said, "Although I got the news from the Orion this time, our master still asked me to thank Ke Tuiguan on his behalf." ”

Ke Bei also said politely: "Steward Fang doesn't have to be polite, this investigation and handling of the case is a matter within the scope of the matter, since Steward Fang has clues, we won't stay longer, Steward Fang should hurry to the east of the city to find the whereabouts of your young master, I'll go back to the yamen first." ”

"Forgive me for having something to do and can't be sent away, so a few adults walk slowly."

……

At the gate of Fang's mansion, Fang An helped Fang Congzhe into the carriage, and then turned his head and asked the Orion, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

The Orion said: "Since he was a child, his family was poor and could not afford to buy a horse, and the villain could not ride. ”

Fang An pointed to the seat next to the coachman and said, "Then you sit next to the coachman in the carriage, and show the coachman the way where you see the gang." ”

"Yes, sir." After saying that, the Orion jumped into the carriage with great agility.
