Chapter 69: The Missing Duck Shepherd

Not long after leaving the duck shed, Gao Quan and Ou Dake went their separate ways.

When Gao Quan returned home, his concubine Yanhong was very surprised when she saw him dressed like this: "Master, what's wrong?" Why does it look like this? ”

Gao Quan went out yesterday evening and didn't return home until today, so Yan Hong was not so surprised by this. Gao Quan runs a leather shop in the city, and there is a farm outside the city, often running at both ends, sometimes going out to buy goods, and it is common to not see anyone for two or three months.

Gao Quan: "Don't mention it, I drank and gambled with people last night, and as a result, I lost my clothes and pants to others, and I slept in the field." Don't make a noise, let people fetch water and I want to bathe. How can you not see anyone? ”

mentioned the baby son, Yan Hong's face was full of smiles: "There is a class in the house today, and the prisoner naturally went to the school, why did the master forget?" ”

The subordinates fetched water, and Yan Hong waited for Gao Quan to bathe.

When he came out dressed neatly, Gao Quan instructed: "Don't mention yesterday's events to anyone, especially the broken prisoners, if someone asks about you, you only say that I went out to run errands, and I didn't return home until midnight." ”

Yan Hong used a cloth towel to dry the water droplets in his hair, and promised: "I can save it, I only said that Mother Xia and Liu Er slept deeply, and I came to open the door for you." ”

Gao Quan does things well, in addition to their family of three in the house in the city, there is only one mother-in-law and porter who burns the fire, and there is the red personal maid Liu'er, who has been with them for many years, and the deed of sale is in his hands.

Gao Quan made proper arrangements, fell asleep upside down, and when he was about to wake up in a daze, Yan Hong pushed him awake in a panic: "Master, it's not good, the people from the Imperial City Division came to the door and said that they wanted to ask the master!" ”

Gao Quan's heart suddenly sudden, he turned over and fell to the ground, subconsciously about to seize the door and escape.

There was no blood on Yanhong's lips, she pushed Gao Quan to the back window, and said in a panic: "Master, run away!" Yan Hong went to deal with the official master and buy a little time for the master. It's a pity, it's a pity that our prisoner is still in the school, and I'm afraid the master won't have a chance to take it away! ”

Hearing Yanhong mention her son, Gao Quan's heart calmed down suddenly, and he reassured: "What's the panic, I haven't done anything!" Calm down, I'll go to the front hall first to see why the people from the Imperial City Division came to the door! ”

Yan Hong clearly saw that Gao Quan wanted to escape, she held back her "bang" heartbeat, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you really want to run away, master?" I said that the master went out to buy goods, and he couldn't return in January or February! ”

There was a "bang" knock on the door, so loud that it sounded like it was slamming the door.

Gao Quan hurriedly agreed and ran to open the door: "Come on, the officials forgive the sins, the people in my family have never seen the world, and they were frightened when they heard that the officials were the Imperial City Division!" Officials, please sit in the flower hall, I will let people serve tea! ”

Bai Yu walked into the door and glanced around, this is a two-entry house, there is a flower hall and a study in the front yard, the gatehouse on the left is connected to two wings, which should be for the next person to live, and on the right is the kitchen and bath, as well as a few pots of flowers and plants.

The master room was in the back, and in the front yard at this time, in addition to Gao Quan, the owner of the house who came to open the door, there was also an old woman who was blind with one eye shrunk by the gatehouse and shivered.

Bai Yu glanced at the man who opened the door, and saw that he was about forty-five or sixteen years old, tall, dignified, and the smile on his face made people feel like a spring breeze.

"You are the owner of the house, Gao Quan?"

Gao Quan made a solemn gesture: "The villain is Gao Quan, if the official wants to ask something, please go to the flower hall to sit down, and the villain will let the official serve tea to moisten his throat." ”

Bai Yu frowned and said, "You don't have to drink tea." Your house is not big, why don't you come to open the door for a long time? ”

Gao Quan showed an embarrassed and polite smile, threw Bai Yu a look that all men understand, and explained: "The concubine pestered people, and made the official smile!" ”

Bai Yu swallowed dryly, and changed the subject: "The Tianquan Farm outside the city is yours, right?" Do you recognize a duck herd named Chen Duck? ”

Gao Quan said continuously: "I recognize it, he is the villain's Tianquan Farm to put ducks, the ducklings break their shells for ten days to grow into a shelf duck, they have to rush to the reeds to eat live food, the ducks grow fast, the meat is also firm, and they don't worry about selling on the market." Did Chen Yaqian commit something? He's always been honest, and he can't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks......"

"His duck shed is on fire, and people are missing, don't you know?"

Gao Quan's color suddenly became very serious: "The duck shed is burning?" People are missing too? Who would have a grudge against him as a duck herder? Official, please sit down for a while, I will go to Tianquan Farm to find Zhuang Tou to ask clearly, Chen Yaqian has more dealings with Zhuang Tou, maybe he knows where he went, and can provide some clues to the official. ”

Seeing that Gao Quan was about to go out to find someone to bring a letter to Zhuang Tou to come over for questioning, Bai Yu hurriedly stopped, "No need." We just came out of Tianquan Farm, we have asked the head of the farm, he said that Chen Yazi has not been seen for more than half a month, he sent people to the duck shed to block several times but did not block people. Why, the head of the village didn't tell you? ”

Gao Quan thought for a moment: "Zhuang Tou really didn't tell me. He's really confused, he doesn't know how to report a big living person to the official, I will definitely talk about him next time! ”

Bai Yu couldn't ask anything when he asked, so he had to say: "Regarding the matter of Chen Yaqi, if you think of anything, immediately go to the Imperial City Division to report it, and you must not hide it, and if there is any news about him, you must also report it to me as soon as possible." This official Bai Yu is the head of the Imperial City Division! ”

Leaving the mansion, Bai Yu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what was wrong.

It all started three hours ago.

Gao Quan and Ou Dake left the duck shed for more than half an hour, and Bai Yu led people to find this place.

He led people to search along the shore of the West Lake, but never found any suspicious traces, and a chazi suddenly remembered: "There is a duck shed in the reeds to the west of the pavilion, and there is a person who herds ducks all year round, and he may be able to provide a little clue!" ”

Seeing the duck shed that was burned to ashes in front of them, Bai Yu and his men rummaged through the reed poles little by little, and finally found a few pieces of clothing that had not been burned clean, as well as two soles, one large and one small.

There were no human bones in the ashes, and the owner of the duck shed was nowhere to be seen.

Following the thread of the duck shed, Bai Yu first found Tianquan Farm, knew that the owner of the duck shed was surnamed Chen, and then found Gao Quan.

It's a pity that the duck herd is like the world has evaporated, and no one knows where he has gone.

"Since those two fine workers can find the duck shed and abscond after changing clothes there, it means that they must know Chen Yazi." Speaking of this, Bai Yu's heart moved, and he remembered Gao Quan's hair that had not yet dried, "Sent someone to keep an eye on Gao Quan for twelve hours, I want to see what kind of goods this owner of Tianquan Farm is!" ”
