Chapter 310 Help Bai Jiajun

"According to the family members, the plan of a group of them was not to go into the deep mountains, right?" The old hunter had been hunting all his life, and he was full of blood and sharp eyes. People can't help shaking their legs.

"Yes, it means to play for about three days, one day in the village, one day up the mountain, one day down the mountain to rest, and then return to the county. It happened that my young master had other affairs and had no time to accompany him, so he didn't come over, he just sent the guests over. Tell me to serve you well."

"Yeah, apart from the two days of back and forth on the road, I only arranged for one day of hunting. At most, I just had fun hunting pheasants and rabbits like the villagers. At the latest, I should return to the village in the evening. So when it got dark that day, no one from the guide's house came back. , so it felt bad."

"Yes, yes, that's the case."

"Huh, your young master is not here, and the servants who came with you are the servants who guide the local villagers who are timid and ignorant. A group of guests are in charge of their own affairs and have the final say. They wandered blindly in the mountains. Now it's better, and the people are gone. "

"Old man, do you mean that the person can't be found?"

The old Orion pulled the confidant back a few steps before patting him on the shoulder, "Look at this piece of thorns, do you think people can pass or dogs can pass? I can tell you with certainty that their traces have disappeared here. , I can’t do anything about the rest, you’d better go back and check if this mountain is a private mountain.”

"Private? I haven't heard of it. This is the hill bordering our Wenjia Village."

"Is Wenjia Village on the border of Anping County and Donglin County? Although it belongs to Anping County, it is also adjacent to Donglin County?"

"Yes!" The confidant was stunned for a moment, "Are we on the border of Donglin County?"

"Let's go back and check. I hope there is someone in charge. Donglin County now has troops stationed there. It would be a trivial matter if they were detained by the army."

"If the army doesn't know..." The cronies shuddered, not daring to think about it.

"Then, more bad luck than good luck." The old Orion helped to complete the second half of the sentence that the other party didn't say.

"...It's over!" The confidant sat down on the ground with a sad face, as if his whole body suddenly lost strength, "It's over... It's over...they are foreigners, the young master finally invited them back to be guests, how can we explain when we go back..."

"If you have the strength to howl here, don't hurry up and withdraw the team down the mountain. If you don't leave, we won't be able to return to the village until dark."

The confidant was scolded and did not dare to answer back. He hurriedly called people to assemble, and returned immediately after the count was correct. He would eat while walking when he was thirsty or hungry. In the afternoon, he finally appeared at the foot of the mountain closest to the village, out of breath.

The villagers who collected firewood saw them and immediately went back to the village to call for help. The young people who helped find them were picked up by their families, and the others were sent to the patriarch’s home. For Wen clan members like Young Master Wen’s who moved to the county, the ancestral house There is no old house in the side, so I can only settle at the patriarch's house when I rush back to deal with things.

"How is it? Have you found someone?" Seeing the old Orion and his cronies returning empty-handed, Wen Junxin, the young master Wen who was waiting for news, knew that there might be no good news, but he still couldn't help asking.

Both the confidant and the old Orion were shaking their heads.

"Then what did you find? You went out all day and didn't find any clues?!" Wen Junxin was eager, and his voice couldn't help but raise a bit.

"Master, things are more complicated." The confidant looked embarrassed.

"How complicated?"

The confidant didn't know where to start with a sullen face.

"talk!"

The confidant turned to look at the old hunter beside him, "Old man, why don't you tell me?"

"Okay, let me tell."

The old Orion readily took over the difficult problem of explaining, and succinctly described what they found in the mountains.

After hearing this, Wen Junxin frowned so much that he could pinch a mosquito to death.

"How could the imperial army be involved?" Wen Junxin got up and paced back and forth in the room, "My family has lived in the county for a long time, but I forgot that this county borders Donglin County. Although both counties belong to Dong'an Prefecture, Anping County is located in In the northwest of Donglin County, there are no villages facing the sea, so there is no need to consider the relationship with the imperial army, and ignore the connection of mountains and forests.

Wen Junxin regretted unceasingly, it was because he neglected such an important matter that caused the invited guest to disappear in the deep mountains.

"Young master, what should we do now? Do you want to ask Renju Zhong to contact Bai Jiajun?" The confidant was worthy of being a confidant, and immediately came up with suggestions.

"First find out which Lord Qianhu lives in Donglin County."

"Yes, sir."

"The incident has happened for a few days. In such cold weather, the missing person may be in danger. Let's do our best. If we want to see people, we must see corpses. If we can't find the remains, it's good if we can find the relics. There can also be an explanation."

"Yes, sir."

"There is also a man in the guide's family who has lost his pillar. The whole family is struggling, and they plan to pay 100 taels for compensation."

"Yes, sir."

A confidant is a confidant, no matter what Wen Junxin said, he would agree without hesitation.

Because it was necessary to contact Bai Jiajun, and there was no point in retaining people to search the mountains again, after sending 100 taels of compensation to the guide's family that night, Wen Junxin took people back to the county early the next morning.

When Bai Qing received the official document transferred from the county government, he was still dazed for a moment, completely unaware that such a missing persons case might have occurred under his rule.

Through family relations, Wen Junxin asked the Anping county government office to contact the Donglin county government office in the middle to contact the Qianhu Office of Donglin County. He learned that the thousand households sitting in the town were Bai Qing, the eldest son of General Bai Da, and he immediately prepared a heavy gift and went there in person. When I went to Donglin County, I hoped to get a chance to have an interview with Bai Qing.

Bai Qing was not in a hurry to meet the young master of the gentry's family in another county. He carefully understood the geographical situation of the two counties first, and felt that this disappearance case was not a trivial matter. It is said that it is hunting, but who knows what the real situation is, now that he is missing, he is eager to find someone and wants to ask the imperial army for help. It is not so easy.

The Bai family army came here to defend against the pirates, and it happened that they had not found any clues related to the pirates, so a group of foreigners disappeared in the neighboring county.

Bai Qing felt that based on this suspicion, it was worth talking to Wen Junxin.

But before that, in order to be cautious, Bai Qing sent his scouts who were good at tracking Miying to take the map of the county boundary, put on plain clothes and dress up as civilians, and went into the mountains for a field trip.

It took several days for the scouts to enter the mountain from Anping County and Donglin County, and went back and forth several times, bringing back the same news as the Wen family provided.

The suspicious disappearance location was indeed right in front of the dense thorns, but this thorns were completely within the boundary of Donglin County, and it was the mountain forest that had just been drawn under Qi Ke's name.

After hearing this, Bai Qing felt that his head was three big in an instant.

Who knew that the scout gasped for breath, and then gave some comforting good news. The traces of people and hounds are on the side of the thorns, and the side that belongs to Qi Ke is very clean. There are no traces of outsiders or wolves. nor.

Seeing that Qi Ke was not suspected of being involved, Bai Qing immediately felt that he had returned to normal, and ordered to pick a date to arrange an interview with Wen Junxin. The young master has been waiting in the county for so many days, it is time to meet and talk .

When Wen Junxin received the news, Bai Qing asked him to meet at the military post in the county, not daring to neglect him, and arrived a quarter of an hour earlier.

This big house was acquired from the Shen family. The first three and the second five occupied three streets. Bai Qing changed the first three into government offices for handling public affairs, and the last five were posthouses for the sergeants and officers to rest.

Because this is a private matter for civilians to come to ask for help, it is inconvenient to say it in the lobby, Bai Qing met with people in the second hall, Qin Xue and the two accompanied the chief, and there were scribes in the adjacent room ready to record everything.

"I have admired President Baiqian for a long time, and it is a great honor to meet you today."

"Sit down and drink tea." Bai Qing nodded politely, refusing to accept Wen Junxin's politeness. This young master Wen only has a reputation as a scholar, and Bai Qing is a master of six ranks, with full of official prestige.

"Thank you sir."

Wen Junxin choked for a moment, and responded graciously. As soon as his butt touched the chair, he heard Bai Qing cough and immediately sat upright.

"I already know why you came here. I have also learned about it in the past few days and found that the place where your friend disappeared is quite excessive."

"Master Qian, I know that the location may be at the junction of two counties."

"Where are the two counties at the border? Wen Junxin, how dare you lie in front of this official?" Bai Qing sneered unceremoniously.

Wen Junxin panicked for a moment. As a scholar, he couldn't bear the murderous spirit of Bai Qing and the two generals trained on the battlefield, so he finally calmed down, "Mr. Qian, I hired an experienced old Orion They went into the mountains to look for people, and they said that the place they found was at the junction of the two counties."

"So, what you mean is that you haven't visited it yourself. Everything is said by others. You are quite relaxed as a master? You feel that you have no responsibility at all if your subordinates are not good at things, right? Bai Qing looked directly at Wen Junxin, carefully observing the subtle expressions on his face. With years of experience in interrogating spies and spies in the military, it is not so easy to lie in front of them.

Although Bai Qing also sent his scouts to check on the spot, he knew the ability of his men to handle affairs, and he didn't believe that Wen Junxin's men could match his scouts.

Wen Junxin panicked and began to sweat under such staring eyes.

"Lord Qian, calm down. It's my fault that my subordinates are not doing things right. Please clarify."

"The scouts I sent found the bush of thorns you mentioned, and found the footprints left by your people on one side, and the other side was clean."

"How did this happen? A group of people disappeared without a trace across a thorn?!" Wen Junxin was shocked.

"I don't know how they disappeared, and I don't care how they disappeared. I only care about one thing."

Bai Qing stared at Wen Junxin with piercing eyes, causing cold sweat to flow from his forehead.
