Master Bai took people up the mountain, and as soon as they arrived at Ye Mansion, Ye Xiaotian immediately went up to meet him, and told Master Bai the story of Qian Qingqing's strange disappearance. Master Bai twirled his beard and asked cautiously: " So, what does the county magistrate want the subordinate to do?"
Ye Xiaotian said helplessly: "Mrs. Qian disappeared strangely at my mansion, how will Ye explain to Zhao Yicheng? Besides, if the case cannot be clarified, all kinds of gossip will be unavoidable. I hope Master Bai can return it." Ye is innocent."
Master Bai heaved a sigh of relief, slapped his chest and said: "That's no problem! Ye Daren is the official of the court, and the dignified county magistrate, how could he do such a despicable thing? I can affirm that the case of Mrs. Qian's mysterious disappearance is related to Ye The county magistrate has absolutely nothing to do with it!"
Ye Xiaotian couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Mr. Bai, everyone's mouth makes money. Mrs. Qian is young and beautiful, but I am in the prime of life. She disappeared in my mansion strangely. If there are unbearable rumors, it is inevitable. Mr. Bai trusts me , Ye is very grateful, but Ye hopes that Master Bai can solve this case, so that I can really return my innocence."
Bai Hong said "ah" twice, suddenly realized, and turned to Zhou Bantou, "Zhou Bantou, you are the arresting head of this county. You have solved many cases in the arresting class for many years. This case is related to the innocence of Ye Xiancheng. Reputation requires you to go all out to crack this case!"
Zhou Bantou frowned and thought for a while, then said to Ye Xiaotian: "My lord, according to what the maid of your mansion said, after serving Mrs. Qian to sleep last night, she went to the outer ear room to rest. This morning, she found out that Mrs. Qian was missing. I would like to go to Mrs. Qian's bedroom to have a look, is that possible?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "There is nothing you can do. Please come with me, Mr. Bai, and you too." Ye Xiaotian invited Mr. Bai and Mr. Zhou into the back house, and into Qian Qingqing's bedroom. Hua Yunfei, Mao Wenzhi, Li Qiuchi and others also came after hearing the news and squeezed into the room. Ye Lao, who succeeded Elder Dong as the "Elder of Chuangong", also rushed from his residence to join the crowd of onlookers.
Women's obscene clothes were originally not suitable for irrelevant men to see, and at this time, they didn't pay much attention to them. Zhou Bantou carefully looked at the little clothes on the couch, reached out to touch them, lowered his head to sniff, and turned to the little girl. Huan said: "This set of obscene clothes is what Mrs. Qian wore last night?"
The little maid said nervously: "Yes!"
Zhou Bantou murmured: "If someone sneaks into Ye's mansion, he will be eager to leave after he succeeds. There is no reason to ask Mrs. Qian to take off the obscene clothes. Besides, the obscene clothes are placed in an orderly manner, and there is no tearing or damage. It seems that she will have to put it back on at any time, so it can be concluded that Mrs. Qian took off the obscene clothes herself."
Master Bai nodded again and again: "What you say makes sense, what you say makes sense."
Ye Xiaotian anxiously said: "It doesn't matter whether Mrs. Qian took off this dress herself, or someone torn it off by someone strong, it doesn't matter, what matters is where Mrs. Qian is now!"
Zhou Bantou said: "Don't be impatient, my lord. If we conclude that Mrs. Qian took off the obscene clothes, that is to say, she probably did it on her own initiative when she left the bedroom."
At this time, the little girl interjected and said: "Master Catcher, all of Mrs. Qian's clothes are in the room, so there is not a lot of one?"
Zhou Bantou's eyes were fixed, and he asked: "A lot?"
The little maid nodded and said: "Madam Qian is very clean, and the clothes are often cleaned and dried. These things have always been taken care of by the maid, so if there is a shortage of Madam Qian's clothes, the maid can be sure."
Mao Wenzhi interjected: "That is to say, Mrs. Qian took off her clothes by herself, climbed up the window and ran away with her buttocks bare? Oh my god, this is so funny, hahaha, why didn't you let me see it?" Well, haha..."
Ye Xiaotian stared back, Mao Wenzhi's laughter stopped abruptly, and he muttered softly: "Madam Qian is not crazy, how could it be like this, Zhou Ban is so stupid that no one is allowed to laugh."
Ye Xiaotian is very sensitive to the word "crazy" now, upon hearing this, he couldn't help but glared at him again, and shouted: "Shut up!"
Zhou Bantou knew that this person was a bit muddy, so he didn't care, but said thoughtfully: "Whether a person is taken away by others or wants to leave, there is no reason for a person to be naked. You must know that no matter what she wants to do What, or if someone wants to take her away, being naked must be more noticeable."
Master Bai nodded and said, "It's reasonable, it's reasonable."
Zhou Bantou walked to the window and said: "The maid sleeps in the outer ear room. If Mrs. Qian or the person who kidnapped her goes out from the door, it will be difficult not to disturb the maid, and the maid has nothing to do with Mrs. Qian's disappearance. As far as I know, the way she left is most likely through this window."
Master Bai nodded and said, "It's reasonable, it's reasonable."
Zhou Bantou looked out, saw the green grass outside the window, and there was a small pond not far away, and said: "Master Ye, Lord Bai, let's go to the courtyard to have a look."
Master Bai nodded and said: "That's right... ah! Okay, let's go to the yard and have a look." A group of people left the house and walked around to the garden at the back. Bantou Zhou checked carefully, but found no obvious footprints, and said: "What is beyond this courtyard wall?"
Hua Yunfei replied: "Beyond the west wall and the north wall are wild fields on the mountain, and outside the east wall is the atrium of the back house. There are study rooms, nave halls, flower halls and other houses in the atrium courtyard."
Bantou Zhou came in through the door just now, knowing that there is a small rectangular courtyard from the front door, connected to the central courtyard by a moon gate, he frowned and thought for a while, then called Ma Hui and Xu Haoran and said, "You two People go to visit outside the north wall and west wall separately, don't miss any clues!"
As Zhou Bantou spoke, he gave the two of them a wink, and the two of them understood and took the order to leave. If they really find something, they will definitely not publicize it right away, they must first show it to Bantou Zhou in private, and if it is determined that it has nothing to do with Ye Xiaotian, it will be announced.
If they found any evidence that made Ye Xiaotian unable to explain clearly, they had no choice but to pretend that they hadn't found it. Among the subordinate officials, they are already conscientious officials, but they can't be selfless. They are all people on Ye Xiaotian's boat, if Ye Xiaotian really wanted to see the color, and even failed to make love, so they committed bloody things like killing people in a fit of anger, they would have no choice but to lose their conscience.
Bantou Zhou asked Ye Xiaotian and Bai Hong again: "My lords, let's go to the atrium again."
Ye Xiaotian had no objection, so everyone went to the atrium again.
At this time, the postman had sent the news to Zhao Wenyuan, and Zhao Wenyuan was stunned when he heard it. A young and beautiful woman disappeared from the mansion of a young and strong official, and anyone's first thought would be to think of some ulterior affairs. But Zhao Wenyuan didn't think so, because he knew very well that Qian Qingqing went here to seduce Ye Xiaotian, since he was willing, why did Ye Xiaotian do such a difficult thing.
When the postman came to report the news, Zhao Wenyuan was talking to his father Zhao Xin, so Zhao Xin also heard the report from the postman, and he was also shocked after hearing the news. After waving away the postmen, Zhao Xin asked strangely, "Why did Qian Qingqing suddenly disappear in Ye's house?"
Zhao Wenyuan hesitated and said: "Could it be that... she couldn't bear to be driven by the chieftain, so she ran away?"
Zhao Xin snorted and said, "How is it possible? It's not that you don't know Lord Chieftain's methods. If she dares to leave without saying goodbye, her family in Bozhou will be severely punished."
Zhao Wenyuan said: "That's really weird, how could she disappear inexplicably."
Zhao Xin doubtfully said: "That girl Qian Qingqing is very beautiful, could it be that Ye Xiaotian was motivated by the beauty and wanted to do something wrong, so..."
Zhao Wenyuan cut his mouth and said, "It's absolutely impossible!"
Zhao Xin looked at his son suspiciously and asked, "Why are you so sure?"
Zhao Wenyuan blushed, thinking that since Qian Qingqing had disappeared, she would not be able to hide the fact that she had lived in the Ye Mansion for more than a month, so he discussed with Qian Qingqing before and Qian Qingqing's initiative to invite Ying to go. The matter of Ye Fu was said again.
Zhao Xin frowned when he heard this, and reprimanded: "You guys are just messing around!"
Zhao Wenyuan remained silent, Zhao Xin stroked his beard and walked a few steps, his heart suddenly moved, thinking that this is a rare opportunity, a chance to send Ye Xiaotian back to the deep mountains.
He had already heard about the matter of Mercury Mountain, and it was almost because of Ye Xiaotian's interference that the Lord Chieftain's plan failed. Even so, the situation in Mount Mercury was out of control. In order to avoid alerting the other major chieftains, Chieftain Yang could only stop temporarily.
Zhao Xin is Bozhou Amu. As Yang Yinglong's confidant, he knows Yang Yinglong's thoughts very clearly. He knows that the reason why Yang Yinglong values Ye Xiaotian is that Ye Xiaotian can control hundreds of thousands of mountain seedlings, not what he is doing now. .
Ye Xiaotian is young, young people always have more desires, and those with more desires can be easily controlled. Moreover, Ye Xiaotian is not a native of the Gu Sect, and has a cold relationship with the elders of the Gu Sect. All these are determined, and it is easy for Chieftain Yang to control him.
Now Ye Xiaotian is a good venerable and wants to join the world as an official instead of being a good venerable. His meddling in the Mercury Mountain Rebellion almost ruined the chieftain's affairs. Now His Holiness intends to stay in Tongren, this Ye Xiaotian is an official under the rule of Tongren Mansion, in case he comes out to make trouble at a critical moment...
Zhao Xin thought, if Qian Qingqing didn't care about his life and death, he might as well use this matter to force Ye Xiaotian back to the mountain, so as not to let him get in the way here. Zhao Xin had already heard Zhao Wenyuan say that Huazhi County had yelled about Ye Xiaotian's affair with his wife. Now that this scandal is added, Ye Xiaotian will have no face to continue to be his official.
Chieftain still has some remnants in Gu Sect, but they are not in important positions, so they can't play much role. Once Ye Xiaotian can't be an official, he has no choice but to go back to the mountain. He doesn't have a good relationship with those elders. After he goes back, he will definitely cultivate his cronies.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin smiled and said to Zhao Wenyuan: "Your wife is missing in Ye Mansion, you, a husband, can still be so calm, shouldn't you be shocked and angry?"
Zhao Wenyuan said in astonishment: "My lord father means..."
Zhao Xin said leisurely: "Let's go! Let me accompany you to Ye's house for a while, and ask for a daughter-in-law!"
