Chapter 376: Acquaintances?
It's no wonder that Gao Yuxing was emotional, and even almost lost his mind in front of the county master.
If any of the three people are the most concerned about this matter, it must be Gao Yuxing.
Although participating in the wine fighting conference was the task given to him by Xia Yan Qiangsai, in the past nearly a year, he had long fallen in love with winemaking, and even felt that he had finally found the meaning of life.
He has long regarded winemaking as his life's work, and he has regarded wine fighting as extremely important.
"Drunken confidant" is the first kind of wine he brewed independently, and it feels like a new father, both excited and nervous, eager to pile up all the precious things in the world around it, and even more eager to guard it at all times and not let it be harmed by anything.
Therefore, the "drunken confidant" was replaced, which made him angry like someone hurt his most beloved child, which was not only an insult to him, but also a provocation to him. He had already secretly decided that when he found that person, he must teach him a lesson to solve the hatred in his heart.
Gao Yuxing lost his mind, but Xia Yan didn't.
His words can be heard by anyone, but they can't be heard by the county magistrate.
While the county master was still in shock and had not come to his senses, Xia Yan hurriedly reached out and grabbed Gao Yuxing's collar and dragged him over, cleared his throat and said, "My lord, the shopkeeper Gao is emotional and talking nonsense, don't care." ”
Gao Yu came back to his senses and saluted to the county magistrate: "My lord, I was indeed talking nonsense just now, you must not be like me." It was just a moment of resentment, and I had no such ill intentions. ”
As soon as Gao Yuxing explained this, the county magistrate no longer entangled. Thinking about it from another perspective, it's not that he can't understand Gao Yuxing's mood. If it were ruined by someone for what he had worked so hard to make, his reaction might be even stronger than Gao Yuxing's.
Although the county magistrate had no intention of pursuing it, Xia Yan began to divert the topic and said, "My lord, has the murderer lost his trace?" ”
"That's right." The county master was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of doubts, "I specially instructed me not to publicize this matter, who did you learn about it from?" ”
The county magistrate frowned, and became more and more suspicious in his heart, and even felt that there were people in the county government who ate inside and outside. If it weren't for that, the matter would never have been known to outsiders so quickly.
It has only been half a day since the person was found missing, and Xia Yan's news was so timely, it seems that the county government should be rectified.
Just when the county magistrate was speculating, he heard Xia Yan smile and said, "My lord, you have a good rule, how can I find out from anyone?" It's just a little girl's guess based on what you said earlier. ”
The county magistrate temporarily put away the doubts in his heart and asked, "I didn't say anything, how can you guess?" ”
"Who in Qin County doesn't know that you are a county prince who loves the people like a son and is as evil as a hater, how can you bear to watch the shopkeeper Gao suffer such a big grievance? If you have already apprehended the murderer, the trial will be held in court and the relevant person will be notified. But you didn't do that, which means that the killer hasn't been caught yet. ”
Xia Yan is completely talking nonsense, in order to stabilize the county master first, lest he suspect and give her a trumped-up charge. The matter of buying off the government can be big or small, but Xia Yan didn't do it, he didn't want to be charged with such a crime, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression in the heart of the county master.
She shouldn't have said this in front of the county master, but in order to confirm Xu Yichen's previous words, she could only choose to take risks.
Only by getting an accurate answer from the county magistrate can she judge whether Xu Yichen is lying or not.
Judging from the results, it is indeed possible that person is in Xu Yichen's hands.
After all, looking at the entire Qin County, except for him, no one has the ability to hide people under the nose of the county master.
The county magistrate had completely withdrawn the suspicions in his heart at this moment, sighed and said, "Someone saw that person yesterday, but when I sent someone to arrest him, he disappeared. Strange to say, we searched almost the entire Qin County and found no trace of that person. Originally, he was just suspicious of him, but his evasion confirmed the crime. ”
"My lord, if it's convenient, can you tell us who this person is?" Xia Yan smiled, "After all, he may have deliberately targeted Shopkeeper Gao, if he knew his identity, Shopkeeper Gao might guess what he did, and maybe even guess where that person was hiding." That man must have dealt with the shopkeeper Gao, maybe someone he knew well. If you didn't hate him to the extreme, you wouldn't have taken such a big risk to do something under your nose. ”
The county lord originally planned to hide this matter from the two, after all, it has not been confirmed that the person is the murderer, if there is any misunderstanding, not to mention the innocent person who has been wronged, and the other two sides will become enemies, which is not the result that the county lord wants to see.
Although the county magistrate really thinks about both sides, he can not find any trace of that person after almost using the manpower of the entire county office, and the matter can only be stalemate here without any progress.
So when the county magistrate heard Xia Yan's words, he couldn't help but be moved.
The bell must be tied to the bell, and now the whereabouts of that person can be found, I'm afraid only Gao Yu is the only one.
Thinking of this, the county master made all kinds of plans, stared at Gao Yuxing's face and said: "That person's name is Da Chun, and he is in the business of transporting wine on weekdays, do you have any impression of the high shopkeeper?" ”
When the county master spoke, Xia Yan also stared intently at Gao Yuxing's face, for fear of revealing any of his expressions.
I thought I would see shock, excitement or anger on his face, but I never expected that there was no superfluous look on his face except for confusion.
Gao Yuxing's reaction was completely unexpected by the county master, and he was surprised: "Shopkeeper Gao, don't you know this person?" ”
"Lord Hui, if I'm not mistaken, there really isn't a person I know named Da Chun." Gao Yuxing replied immediately.
"You don't know him, so why does he target you like this?" The county magistrate was puzzled and could only frown.
"I don't understand it either." Gao Yuxing paused for a moment, "Maybe it's someone I don't know very well, I only know his appearance and don't know his name." When I see it with my own eyes, maybe I'll be able to remember it. ”
Things went around in a circle and returned to the original place, and the county master could only shake his head helplessly: "It seems that everything can only come to an end when that person is caught." Shopkeeper Gao, shopkeeper Xia, just bother the two of you to wait patiently for some time, and the yamen will definitely give you an explanation. ”
The county magistrate spoke, how could there be a reason that it should not be, Gao Yuxing hurriedly saluted and agreed.
After the salute, he didn't hear Xia Yan's reply for a long time.
She has always been the person who knows the most etiquette, and even if she doesn't want to, she will never refute the county lord's face in person.
Gao Yuxing turned his head to look at Xia Yan suspiciously, but saw that she looked sluggish, and silently muttered something: "Da Chun...... Da Chun ...... Why does the name sound so familiar? ”
Gao Yuxing was standing beside Xia Yan, and although she muttered softly, he heard her clearly.
At this point, how could Gao Yuxing not understand that Xia Yan might know that person. In order to make her remember as soon as possible, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and saluted the county master again: "My lord, please forgive me for being rude, I suddenly felt that I might have some impression of that name just now, I wonder if you can tell me in detail about this person, maybe I can find any clues from it." ”
"It doesn't hurt to talk to you." The county magistrate smiled.
Anyway, he has already said who that person is, and he has nothing to hide, it was originally something that can be known by inquiry, since Gao Yuxing asked, he was happy to be a favor: "That Dachun was originally a porter who transported wine to various shops and houses, because he looked honest and didn't talk much, so he was deeply liked by everyone." Especially those deep mansions, how many of them don't have something unspeakable? If it is quickly spread out, how can they gain a foothold in Qin County. Therefore, this stern Dachun has become the designated wine giver for many families. He often goes back and forth to various wealthy families, so he can't help but have friendships with the masters of those families. Maybe it's because I'm afraid that Da Chun will threaten those things in the deep house, or maybe he really likes this honest person, in short, Da Chun can often rely on them to do some things. Gradually, he became well-known in Qin County, and even made friends with many people with some status in Qin County. ”
Saying that, the county master glanced at Gao Yuxing, and smiled for fear that he wouldn't be able to remember anything, so he specially reminded him: "The shopkeeper Gao's family is also a first-class family in Qin County, not to mention that it is the largest wine shop in the county, so maybe it has an intersection with Dachun." But even if that kind of character has the ability to reach the sky in Qin County, it can't compare to a sentence from your young master Gao, so it's normal for you not to take him seriously. ”
Gao Yuxing smiled reluctantly, he really wanted to shout wronged, he didn't know that person at all, why didn't he take people in his eyes?
According to common sense, as the son of a senior family and one of the heirs of the winery in the eyes of outsiders, it is entirely possible that he has dealt with this kind of person, but the truth is not like that.
He has long had no possibility of inheriting the Gao family winery, and he can't interfere in all matters related to the winery, even if it is a small matter such as transporting wine and delivering wine, he has no part in it.
Therefore, except for those veteran winemakers, he didn't know anyone related to the winery, let alone the heart of knowing.
As for all the trivial matters in the house, his mother was in charge, so he had no right to ask who was responsible for sending anything to the house.
Whether before or after leaving home, all that passed through him was the business of grain, and he did not have much contact with people in other industries at all.
Even if he opened a sake brewery now, he was only busy working alone, and he didn't have time to meet others.
No matter how you think about it, this Da Chun is definitely not his acquaintance, and I'm afraid he hasn't even taken a face-to-face shot.
Just when Gao Yu was wronged in the dark way, Xia Yan's voice sounded slowly: "My lord, even if you have the ability to do it in this big spring, you are just a person who delivers wine." The wine fighting conference is a competition led by the government, and ordinary people have no chance to intervene at all, how did he participate? How did you break through the guards and change the 'drunken confidant' so easily? ”
