Wu Saburo disappeared two days ago, because the background check has been stuck in Zhuge Baked Cake, his entry has not been resolved, during this time I asked Jiang Nan and Liu Sanjin to help get the filing of various sects, but also diligently.

I asked him to come to Jianghu Division, mainly because he was jealous and hateful, and he had chivalrous courage, which was vividly reflected in the handling of Jinling refugees and Songjiang raw silk.

According to Jiang Nan, on the day of the disappearance, they were going to go to the Cao Gang to file a sect, and after doing it, several people were about to go to drink, but they were stopped, and the man said a few words to Wu Sanlang, Wu Saburo explained a few words to Jiang Nan, and then followed the other party.

I thought he would come back after finishing his errands, but he didn't expect that as soon as he went, there would be no more news, as if the world had evaporated. Liu Yishou used his father's relationship in the Jinling beggar gang to search for two days, but there was no follow-up.

Zhang Youqian asked, he is in his 50s, even if he leaves, he should inform us, why did he leave quietly? Is it possible that he was kidnapped?

I analyzed that it is not impossible that we have recently implemented the filing system, and although the various sects are relatively cooperative on the surface, their opinions in private are not small. It is not impossible that they will not dare to do anything to us, and it is not impossible to shift the target to Takesaburo.

Zhang Youqian said, I will draft a missing person notice.

I nodded and said, even if I search Jinling City, I have to find Wu Saburo, I want to see people alive and corpses when I die.

After the notice was written, I signed my name and instructed Jiangnan to hand it to Zhuge Baked Cake, according to the imperial court process, Zhuge Baked Cake must be signed before it can be officially stamped with the official seal and announced all over the city. But when the notice arrived at Zhuge Baked Cake, it was returned again.

When I learned about this, I couldn't sit still, so I went to Zhuge Baked Cake with a notice. Zhuge Yaobi was dealing with some official documents, and there was a book on his desk, which was a copy of "The Legend of the Underworld" recently printed by "Bagua Weekly", and I said to myself that I was unexpectedly interested in this kind of chivalry.

Zhuge Baked Cake bowed his head and was silent, the two of us sat aside and waited for him to deal with the paperwork, and the tea was changed a few times before he asked, Su Zhutou and Zhang Zhutou, I don't know what the two of you are looking for this official?

I handed over the missing person notice, saying that a brother in our Jianghu Division was missing, and we wanted to send a notice to find clues, Jiang Nan said that the adult did not sign, so I came to ask the adult for some guidance.

Zhuge Yao Bi frowned, and said that this Wu Saburo hasn't joined the company yet?

I said in my heart that if you hadn't stuck the back report, his entry would have been completed a long time ago. said in his mouth, having said that, Wu Saburo has been helping in the Jianghu Division during this time, and he can be regarded as half of the Jianghu Division.

Zhuge took a sip of the teacup, I hurriedly stepped forward, filled the teacup, and said, please be accommodating.

Zhuge squinted his eyes and said that Su Zhutou had been in Jinling for nearly half a year, and he also knew that theft, disappearance and loss of footing were the three major problems in the public gate, especially the disappearance of people, there were dozens of cases every year. If you want to post a notice, then even if the case is officially filed, if it cannot be solved by the end of the year, it will inevitably be a little embarrassing when the superiors assess our case solving rate.

There was a rush of anger in my heart, Zhuge Baked Cake was reluctant to file a case, but it was for the sake of assessment indicators.

The cracking rate of Jinling's six doors ranks among the best in the imperial court, and many cases are solved first and then filed, or like Luo Youdao in Songjiang Prefecture, he randomly finds someone to close the case for his death, which looks good in terms of data, but I dare not agree.

I said that no matter what I say, we are all our own people, and Zhuge always catches the head and does this, which inevitably makes the subordinates a little chilled.

Zhuge shook his head and said, Su Zhutou, we are officials of the Ming Dynasty, we must consider the people's will and the people in doing things, and every copper plate of our six doors is the hard-earned money of the people.

When I saw this, he was full of officialdom and refused to let go, so I got angry and said that since this is the case, then we should come and find someone by ourselves.

Zhuge Baked Cake nodded, that's right, do it yourself.

When he returned to the Jianghu Division, Zhang Youqian even asked how it was done? I felt a little angry, so I reached out and smashed the teacup and said that if the six doors were not posted, we would issue a reward order, and I didn't believe that I couldn't find Wu Saburo. I'm going to trouble you to come out with this money.

Zhang Youqian said that the 10,000 taels of silver of the dead eunuch are still here, and there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, someone provided clues, and after verification, he was rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and found Wu Saburo and rewarded 1,000 taels of silver.

I nodded and said, just leave it to Liu Yishou, they have a lot of beggars. By the way, let Jiangnan give me a copy of Wu Saburo's background check.

Not long after, Jiang Nan brought Wu Saburo's background check report.

Wu Sanlang, male, 51 years old, from Dongping, Shandong, his father Wu Siliu, is a boxer in Dongping County, Xingyi Martial Arts Hall, and the third in the family. In the seventeenth year of Jingtai, he passed the martial arts examination, failed to win, and then Dongping was plagued by bandits, the eldest brother was poisoned, and the second brother fell into the grass in Liangshan, and moved south to Songjiang Mansion with his father, and then worked as a farmer in Songjiang Mansion.

This resume is decent, and the only stain is that the second brother has fallen into the grass, and it should be this reason that he cannot pass the political trial. It seems that Zhuge Baked Cake did not sign, and it was not for nothing. However, the selection of talents by the six doors is not very good, and among the thirteen eagles that year, many of them were Jiangyang thieves before joining.

Now that the person has disappeared, this background matter can only be put on hold for the time being, but if there is a chance, I still find a way to erase this stain on him.

Three days later, the entire Jiangnan Martial Arts knew about the reward order. For a while, all kinds of clues came one after another, some said that Wu Saburo appeared in Yangzhou, and some people claimed to have seen this person in Zhenjiang, but after some investigation, it was all groundless. Another half a month passed, and there was still no news. However, we didn't give up, and I asked Jiangnan to put down his work and take full responsibility for tracking down the matter.

At the end of September, a frost in Jiangnan came very early. Due to the cause of the Japanese invasion, this year's autumn rice planting was late, and it was at the time of ear bearing, and this frost brought catastrophic losses to Jiangnan. Rice production was reduced by nearly half, and the plague caused the emptiness of several large granaries in the south of the Yangtze River, and several forces controlling grain in the city began to hoard goods.

For a time, the price of rice soared, almost catching up with the time of the Japanese rebellion.

God didn't open his eyes this year, Jiangnan suffered a man-made disaster and a natural disaster within a year, and the food in the city was in short supply.

There began to be a rumor that there was an evil dragon in Jiangnan this year, which ruined the feng shui luck of Jiangnan, which led to these two disasters. I don't know where the rumors came from, but they spread very quickly, and even the cabinet in the capital sent a message to inquire about it.

Min Qiuye had a sad face all day long, and held a meeting with the gentry and forces in the city, asking them to donate rice to survive the crisis. The various sects and forces verbally agreed to the mud at this time, but when it came time to take real money, they all turned their faces and did not recognize people.

At this time, October is approaching, and the winter moon is about to begin.

According to the custom, after entering the winter, the two capitals and thirteen provinces should send charcoal to the ministries and offices of the capital. Although it is a bad habit, it is also a tradition that has been around for thousands of years. The Beijing official is not better than the state official, and the Yulu is already low, and he looks forward to this three festivals and two longevity, Bing Jing, and Tan Jing all year round to enrich his pocket.

But now that Jiangnan has suffered, the prefect of Song has spoken, and this year, he will pay tribute to the 300,000 taels of charcoal from the various ministries and offices in the capital, and a copper plate cannot be missing, and compared with the people who are suffering, it is more important to leave a good impression in the various ministries and offices in the capital.

This task was handed over to Min Qiuye to supervise, but Min Qiuye was upright, and he didn't care about this set of rules at all, and he went back directly at the office meeting of the Song Governor's Mansion, which made the Song Governor's Mansion very faceless. The relationship between the first and second leaders is very stiff.

Song Governor and Zhuge Baked Cake have been immersed in Jinling for several years, and in many things, the two have joined forces to suppress Min Qiuye.

At the same time, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau sent a letter of merit to the inner court, saying that this year's raw silk harvest was bumper, and it would escort 100,000 horses of Su Jin and 500,000 taels of silver to the inner palace to the capital before the end of the year. After all, at the end of the year, the emperor can't be too stingy, civil and military officials, vassal kings from all walks of life, and seven aunts and eight aunts must be rewarded to show the emperor's grace, right?

I really appreciate Min Qiuye's approach, but I know it's not a wise choice. It is said that the prefect of Song once complained to people, and the clean official, good official, and reputation all made him earn Min Qiuye alone, but he asked the prefect to wipe his ass with the same acquaintance.

When Min Qiuye heard it, he just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

On the eighth day of October, Min Qiuye was holding a meeting for the six doors, he was in charge of criminal affairs, agricultural affairs, and academic politics, and Zhuge and I were reporting to him on the recent public security situation in Jinling City.

Originally, Zhuge Baked Cake had the greatest chance of becoming a fellow acquaintance in Jinling, but it turned out that Min Qiuye occupied a seat, and he was the head snake in Jinling, so he was very polite to Min Qiuye every time. At this time, someone came to report that Feng Baolai of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau sent an invitation, saying that the tenth day of October was the 50th birthday of Feng Linggan, a young supervisor of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and invited us to attend his birthday banquet.

The two of them had diametrically opposite attitudes towards Feng Linggan's invitation.

Zhuge Baked Cake was very polite to Feng Bao, saying that Gonggong Feng had broken his heart for the inner court over the years, and he could still think of us on this birthday, which made him feel very honored. While talking, he also sealed Feng Bao with one hundred taels of silver in front of us, and Xiao Feng's father-in-law personally came to deliver the post, and he was tired all the way.

Feng Bao hurriedly excused himself and said, Lord Zhuge can't help this, the things that my godfather explained, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, we have to do it, how can we accept your silver?

Min Qiuye didn't speak on the side, Feng Bao had to say, I didn't know that Lord Min would be able to appreciate the light, and my godfather was still waiting for our family to reply.

Min Qiuye said that the day after tomorrow, I will go to Jurong to investigate, I'm afraid I won't be able to go.

Feng Bao had to say that the godfather specially explained that this time he must invite Lord Min to appreciate the light, and there may be unexpected surprises.

Min Qiuye said with a cold face, could it be that Gonggong Feng found out in his conscience and was ready to take out the 300,000 taels of silver that had been pledged to the capital for disaster relief?

Feng Bao said embarrassedly, and Lord Min laughed.

Min Qiuye put the invitation on the desk and said: Don't worry, when I go back, even if people don't go, there will be a lot of filial piety.

Feng Bao said with a smile, Lord Min can go is already a matter of making the manufacturing bureau shine, how dare we accept the gift of the adult?

Min Qiuye said that he knew and would not send it.

Feng Bao left, glanced at me, and said that since Su Zhutou is also here, I won't run alone. As he spoke, he took out two invitations from his arms, which were invitations to Su Zhutou and Zhang Zhutou to go to the banquet, and handed them to you together.

I said, Gonggong Feng really looks up to me, you should give Zhang the head of this invitation, this place is really shy.
