Chapter 444 Happy Chinese New Year (1)
"He must have been kidnapped by bandits." Mu Changqian said anxiously.After all, Chen Jin cleaned up all the bandit dens around Qinghe County and offended many people.Those people had nothing to do with Chen Jin, so they took Chen Guan to operate.

Li Zhu was also worried about Chen Guan.Leaving aside his relationship with Mu Changqian, just based on his friendship with her, she has long regarded him as a friend.Seeing that something happened to him, how could you not be in a hurry?
Li Zhu comforted Mu Changqian: "It should be fine, isn't there still his brother?"

Mu Changqian sighed and bowed his head in silence.

Although the two were anxious, they had nothing to do but wait patiently for the news.

Uncle Hua also went out to help find someone.

In the afternoon of that day, Qing Feng brought people over and asked Li Zhu to borrow Xiaobai to find someone.Li Zhu naturally readily agreed.

A few days later.Chen Guan still has no news.Uncle Hua came back and said that these people obviously planned for a long time.They knew Chen Guanping's daily whereabouts like the back of their hands, and they didn't even leave any traces when they took away people.

Li Zhu asked: "Then what did he say he was going to do the day he disappeared?"

Uncle Hua said: "I also asked, and the servants said that he was either hunting or fishing."

"However, his brother has sent soldiers to search the mountains and forests for several days, but still found nothing. He also searched the riverside and asked many people, but there is still no news."

Li Zhu thought for a while and asked again: "Then where are the reeds here?"

From Yangjiaji to the southeast, there are thousands of hectares of reed marshes. In addition to the mountains, this may also be a hiding place for bandits. "

Uncle Hua said: "It seems that I also searched, but I didn't find anything."

Li Zhu was helpless, so she could only comfort Mu Changqian.

On this day, Mu Changqian suddenly said to her: "Azhu, I'm going to find Chen Guan."

Li Zhu was startled, and quickly stopped him: "Changqian, don't make trouble. So many officers and soldiers can't be found, what can you do?"

"Am I just waiting all this time?" Mu Changqian shouted stubbornly.

Li Zhu still resolutely stopped Mu Changqian, she paused, and reminded in a deep voice: "Have you forgotten about Qingyun?"

When Mu Changqian heard Qingyun's name, she couldn't help but turn pale, and her expression suddenly faltered.Qingyun's death has always been a pain in her heart.

Li Zhu said in a low voice: "I don't want you to repeat the same mistakes. Think about your grandmother, if you have a good life, how will she live as an old man?"

Fortunately, Mu Changqian listened, and she replied in a low voice: "I know, Ah Zhu, I will listen to you."

Two days later, Li Zhu overheard Yang Liugong chatting with an old man who was driving ducks. The old man said that his ducks were always lost recently and he couldn't get them back.In the past few days, I dare not go to the reed marshes to release ducks.

He does not mean that.Li Zhu couldn't help but move in his heart, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, have you ever lost your ducks before?"

The old man muttered, "I'm an expert, and I rarely lost them before. Once, there was a strong wind and thunder. It was broad daylight, but it was as dark as night. The strong wind washed away the ducks one by one. , I also got into the reeds to find them all, and there were not many of them. The past few days have been sunny, and the ducks have not been surprised. I guess I was taken away by someone."

"Master, where did you lose your duck?"

The old man thought for a while and said, "It's probably five or six miles southeast of the city, that is, to the south of Fangjiazhuang. There are few people around there, and there are many fish and shrimps."

The old man added: "My family is not the only one lost."

Li Zhu secretly wrote down the name of the place, went to Uncle Hua immediately, and told him his guess.

Uncle Hua is also a meticulous person, he pondered for a while, and then said: "I will ride a fast horse to the county and tell Mr. Chen, whether it is true or not, I have to try it."

After finishing speaking, he immediately went back to lead the horse and galloped all the way to the county seat.

Uncle Hua didn't come back that night, and there was no news the next day.

It was not until the third day that he returned to Biezhuang exhausted.
