This year, the climate in the Gyeonggi area is really a bit evil, and the rain is scarce throughout the spring and summer, causing drought in many prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, and the imperial court is thinking about how to deal with it. When it came to autumn, it returned the rain owed before, especially after the Mid-Autumn Festival this time, the heavy rain for three consecutive days did not even rest for half a while, which made the water of the Bianhe River, which was about to bottom out, quickly sufficient, and even made people worry that there would be an autumn flood.

For this reason, the yamen at all levels represented by Kaifeng Mansion have been busy dealing with related matters in the past two days, and many people have even run to the river embankment to guard for days, for fear that if one accidentally really lets the water of the Bianhe River pour into the capital, the sin will be great.

Early in the morning of the 19th, Sun Tu dressed neatly and put on a coat of clothes, and went out with a hat. Originally, he didn't have to go to the yamen to answer the mao, but because of the recent events, he could only run to show his face. Fortunately, the city of Tokyo is worthy of being the first-class metropolis today, even if it rains for more than three days, the drainage system is still working well, and there is not much water on the road, so that Sun Tu can ride a horse to get there.

It only took him half an hour before he arrived at the yamen, and when he entered the door, he found that some of his colleagues today looked more solemn than usual, as if something serious had happened. Just as Sun Tu wanted to ask someone what was going on, Xue Yuanpeng had already sent someone to call him over.

After coming to the general judgment hall to greet his boss and greet him slightly, Sun Tucai inquired and asked, "I don't know what the general judge ordered to call the lowly office over today?" But there is a possibility of flooding in the city, do you need to take people to take precautions? ”

"This matter is not in a hurry, there is a special person on the Bianhe River to watch, so there is no need for us to bother with it. I have a more important matter entrusted to you today. Xue Yuanpeng said.

"Oh, but what?" Sun Tu asked curiously.

"Did you know that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were several cases of abduction of women and children in my city of Tokyo?"

"This ...... I really haven't heard of it. At least in the eastern part of my city, no people have come to the door to complain. ”

Xue Tong was a little embarrassed when he said this, and he laughed dryly before saying: "The east of the city has indeed been very different since you set up the security station, and this is what Fu Yin also praised." But after all, this Tokyo is not only a corner of the East City, but the other three sides are also within the responsibility of my Kaifeng Mansion, so you don't want to favor one over the other. ”

Sun Tuxin said that I am just a small capital, and I can't afford such a heavy responsibility regardless of my identity or authority, so you have chosen the wrong person for your big words. But after all, it was not easy to say this in person, so he could only nod his head and say: "It's still a thoughtful judgment, and it's not enough to be lowly." ”

"Hehe, let's get down to business. Whenever the festival is celebrated, because of the chaotic relationship between many people, there will always be some small people who want to fish in troubled waters, this time is no exception, only one night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are no less than five people disappeared, I am afraid that most of them were abducted by lawbreakers. In the past two days, the relevant sufferers have reported to the Yamen, and the Fu Yin did not dare to despise it, so he let the official have full authority to investigate, and in the opinion of the official, among the many people in the Yamen, you Sun Qianli are the most suitable to handle this case. ”

"Why did the general judge say this, no matter the age or seniority in the yamen, the subordinate officials are too far from the others, how dare they be praised like this." Sun Tu hurriedly humbly gave in.

"Don't be presumptuous, didn't the Changxingfang arson case that day have clues because of your hard work? Although it wasn't you who finally won the prisoner, your credit is obvious to all. ”

"But the lower official is still on the errand of the Dongcheng Public Security Station...... "Sun Tu always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, so he subconsciously wanted to push it out. But Xue Yuanpeng didn't give him this opportunity: "Dongcheng has been a lot more peaceful recently, I heard that some splashes don't dare to make trouble there, that's all the credit of Qianli." Now that Fu Yin intends to promote the idea of this security station elsewhere in the city, there will be even less manpower, so if you want to draw out competent people to investigate this case, it is even more necessary for you to be the head of the grandson. ”

After a pause, he sank his face again: "Sun Dutou, as an official of the imperial court, you can't back down when you see difficulties, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the people, and it will be ashamed of the promotion and reuse of the official family to us." ”

Everyone has said this, how can Sun Tu, as a subordinate, still object, he can only hold his fists and say: "Since Xue Tong thinks that Xia Guan is the best person to investigate and handle this case, then I will take over this matter." ”

"Hey, that's right...... Xue Yuanpeng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "But there are many people watching this case, and this official can only give you half a month, if you can't get the murderer back and can't save the abducted victim, your guilt is not light." At that time, it will not be easy for the official to protect you. ”

It turned out that the other party was waiting for him here, and sure enough, the guess just now was good, and the other party arranged this haunt with a good heart. Sun Tu muttered to himself in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Since you have taken over this case, you should do your best." ”

"By the way, the relevant files of this case have been handed over to Sun Fu, you can ask him to check them." Xue Tong said, as if he had the intention of letting Sun Tu retreat.

I didn't want this subordinate to be too acquainted, so he didn't take the opportunity to retire, but suddenly asked: "General judgment, there is something I want to ask for advice before this." ”

"You say." Xue Yuanpeng replied casually.

"Can there be any women and children in the families of powerful people or eunuchs who have been abducted this time?" Sun Tu said, his gaze falling on the other party's face. This made Xue Tongju's expression change slightly, and after hesitating, he still smiled bitterly: "It seems that I can't hide it from you after all." Yes, one of the missing people in the case of women and children being abducted on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival this time is Yu Xianggong's granddaughter. ”

Yu Xianggong in his mouth is one of the important ministers in the political hall today, Yu Shen, this is a veteran of several dynasties, although his status is not as good as Cai Jing and others, but he is also a big man who can shake the court by stomping his feet. Now that his granddaughter has been kidnapped, if he really wants to be held responsible, I am afraid that even Han Changzhou, the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, will be unable to escape the blame.

Sun Tu nodded clearly, and then withdrew with a smile: "Sure enough, this case will only be taken so seriously by the people in the yamen after it has a connection with the powerful family." ”

As Sun Tu spent a long time in Kaifeng Mansion, he gradually understood some things that could not be said on the surface. For Tokyo, a metropolis of one million people, evil is inevitable, and the abduction of people is one of the inescapable acne.

It is said that every year, dozens of women and children throughout the city are lost for various reasons and never returned. And for such things, the government often turns a blind eye, and at most sends some more people to investigate around the city, and then it is gone. The reason for this is that the city of Tokyo is so big and populous that it is impossible to investigate it thoroughly, especially for one or two innocuous people.

Therefore, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the old man Guan and his family repeatedly came to the yamen to plead, the attitude of all the officials was disgusted, and they even hated that they could not convict and lock up the bitter master of this family. There is a good saying that these officials can't solve problems, but they are good at solving the problems of the people who raised them.

It is only when the children of some powerful families are taken away that they will be taken so seriously by Kaifeng Prefecture.

Seeing Sun Tu's disdain, Xue Yuanpeng also smiled bitterly in his heart, there are some things he can't do, the reality is so cruel. But soon, he adjusted his mentality and began to think about the next development of the matter and the impact on himself.

The reason why he handed over such an important case to Sun Tu was naturally due to Han Changzhou's instructions, and as far as he expected, Han Fu Yin's decision was made by the Han family of the Wei State Mansion. Sun Tu made the Han family lose face before, and after that, there were constant troubles, and the Han family naturally would not give up.

It's just because this matter is making a big fuss, if they attack Sun Tu directly, they will only fall into the hands of others, and Han Zhi will endure it. However, if he could use the strategy of borrowing a knife to kill people to get rid of Sun Tu, he would naturally not let it go, so he said that Han Changzhou was moved and asked him to help convict Sun Tu.

And as a subordinate official of Kaifeng Mansion, there is no crime that is easier to come up with than being ineffective and unable to solve the case. Both Han Changzhou and Xue Yuanpeng know very well that these many cases of abduction of women and children that occur every year are the most ordinary, but they are also the most difficult to investigate, not to mention that they also set a time limit, and if they want to find a prisoner to rescue the victim within half a month, even if Bao Gong is alive, he may not be able to do it, let alone a small head of his grandson.

As for what kind of consequences this case will bring if there is no result, several officials will naturally put all the fault on Sun Tu, a subordinate who handled the case. At that time, Yu Xianggong will have an explanation, and the Han family will be able to export evil anger, which is really the best of both worlds, and it couldn't be better.

Of course, if Sun Tu is lucky enough to really complete the case, they will not suffer, the credit is theirs after all, and as long as Sun Tu is on an errand in the yamen, there will always be a chance to rectify him.

This is the response of Xue Yuanpeng and Han Changzhou when they are facing the current situation, it seems that they have counted everything, and the only thing they don't care about is the case itself and the safety of those victims.

They don't care about this, but Sun Tu has to care. Now that he has taken over the case, he must do his best to find the culprits and make them pay for what they have done. Moreover, as early as last year, he already had a certain understanding of such abduction cases, after all, Tong Yuan was the one he rescued when he was abducted.

So when Sun Fu was ordered to send the relevant files of this case, Sun Tu shook his head and pointed to the stack of things and said: "These are far from enough, I also want you to sort out the relevant files of the lost population in the past two years for me to see." ”

"Ah......" Sun Fu opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't calm down, and finally nodded in response, after all, Xue Tong's judgment had been ordered before, as long as they cooperated with Sun Tu in investigating this case, they must do their best and not shirk. Otherwise, it will leave Sun Tu with some truth after failure.
