It is a metaphor for privately releasing someone who is under guard without permission, allowing them to leave. From Chapter 90 of The Plum in the Golden Vase (《金瓶梅 [jin ping mei]》): "What if you leave, and I, guarding the main gate, let the 'water ducks' (水鴨兒 [shui ya er]) go free? If Madam (大娘 [da niang]) finds out and asks me for the person, what then?"
