The climate in the capital area this year is really evil. The rains in the spring and summer are scarce, which has caused drought in many prefectures and counties in the Central Plains. The court is thinking about how to deal with it. In autumn, they returned the rain that they had owed before, especially after this Mid-Autumn Festival. The heavy rains for three consecutive days have not even been resting for a long time, which has quickly filled the water of the Bian River, which was almost bottoming out, and even made people feel a little worried that the autumn flood will come.

For this reason, yamen at all levels represented by Kaifeng Prefecture have been busy dealing with related matters in the past two days. Many people have been running to the river embankment for several days, for fear that if you accidentally let the Bian River water pour into the capital, the crime will be a great sin.

Early in the morning of the 19th, Sun Tu was dressed neatly and then put on a straw raincoat, then went out with a straw hat. Originally, he didn't have to go to the yamen to Yingmao, but because of the fact that there were too many things recently, he could only go and show off his face. Fortunately, this Tokyo City is worthy of being the best-class metropolis today. Even if the heavy rain lasted for more than three days, the drainage system was still running well, and there was not much water accumulation on the road, so Sun Tu could ride over.

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

After coming to the General Secretary of the Tongzhi to greet his superiors and exchanged some greetings, Sun Tu asked: I wonder what instructions did the magistrate ask Beizhi to come today? But there may be floods in the city. Do you need Beizhi to take people to prevent them?

This matter is not urgent. There is a dedicated person watching the Bian River, so we don’t have to worry about it. Today, I have a more important thing to entrust you to do. Xue Yuanpeng said seriously.

Oh, but what happened? Sun Tu asked curiously.

Do you know that on the Mid-Autumn Festival that happened several cases of abducting women and children in Tokyo?

I have never heard of this humble position. At least in the east of my city, there is nothing good. These officials cannot solve the problem, but they are good at solving the problem.

It is only when the children of some powerful families are abducted by others that Kaifeng Prefecture will be so valued.

Seeing the disdain Sun Tu showed, Xue Yuanpeng also smiled bitterly. Some things were powerless, and the reality was so cruel. But soon, he adjusted his mindset and began to calculate the future development of the matter and its impact on himself.

The reason why he handed over such a serious case to Sun Tu was naturally due to Han Changzhou's instructions. As he expected, the decision made by Han Gonggong was pressured by the Han family of the Duke of Wei. Sun Tu had ruined the Han family before, but after that, the Han family would not give up.

It was just because this matter was a big deal, if they directly attacked Sun Tu, they would only get a handle on others, and Han Zhi would endure it. However, if he could use the strategy of killing people with a knife to get rid of Sun Tu, he would naturally not let it go, so he persuaded Han Changzhou and asked him to help convict Sun Tu.

As an official in Kaifeng Prefecture, there is no crime that is easier to take out than not being able to handle the matter. Both Han Changzhou and Xue Yuanpeng knew very well that many cases of abducting women and children occur every year, but they are the most common, but also the most difficult to investigate, not to mention that they have also limited the deadline. If you want to find a prisoner to rescue the victim within half a month, even if Bao Gong is alive, you may not be able to do it, let alone Sun Tu is a small person.

As for the consequences that would have been brought about if there was no result in this case, several Shangguans would naturally blame all the fault on Sun Tu, the subordinate who handled the case. At that time, Yu Xianggong had an explanation and the Han family could exclaim their anger again, which was the best of both worlds, and it would be better.

Of course, if Sun Tu is lucky enough to get the case done, they will not suffer any loss. The credit will be theirs after all, and as long as Sun Tu works in the yamen, he will always have the opportunity to rectify him.

This is the solution to Xue Yuanpeng and Han Changzhou when facing the current situation. It seems that they are going to put everything in. The only thing they don’t care about is the case itself and the safety of the victims.

They may not care about these things, but Sun Tu must care. Since he took over the case, he must try his best to find the prisoners and let them pay the price for what they did. Moreover, he had a certain understanding of these abduction cases as early as last year. After all, when Tong Yuan was abducted, he was the one he rescued.

So when Sun Fu Ying ordered the relevant files of this case, Sun Tu shook his head and pointed at the stack of things and said: These are far from enough. I also want you to sort out all the relevant files of the lost population in the past two years. I will read it.

Ah Sun Fu opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't recover, and finally nodded and responded. After all, Judge Xue Tong had already given instructions before that as long as they cooperated with Sun Tu to investigate the case, they must do their best and cannot refuse. Otherwise, they would leave some excuses for Sun Tu after his failure.
