  Chapter 27 Missing Persons Cases

   County magistrate Hu greeted Chu Nanzhi to take his seat again, and then slowly spoke in detail with a frowning face:

   "Ms. Chu must have heard about a case of missing persons that happened in the county recently."

  Chu Nanzhi bit her thin lips and nodded slightly.

   I didn't expect to invite her here for this matter.

   "Since the incident happened, the official has sent people to search and arrest the whole city, and put up notices everywhere. It has been nearly ten days, and no clues have been found."

  Magistrate Hu was speaking, but Chu Nanzhi couldn't help interrupting him:

   "I don't know whose lost child has made the county magistrate so difficult?"

   Missing population is unavoidable even in her era, not to mention this era. There are many cases every year.

  As public servants of the people, it is impossible for them to cover everything. To find every missing person, they can only do their best.

  At this time, Sun Xiancheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke to the side and said:

   "If it's just a child of an ordinary family, it's fine, but that little man is the only blood of Zhao Dahu's family."

   "Dahu Zhao?"

  Chu Nanzhi vaguely remembered such a No. 1 person, but there was not much specific information, only that he was a rich master.

"That's right, Mr. Zhao is the richest man in the county. His first wife, Mrs. Wu, is the elder sister of Taishou Wu of Pingning County. She died of illness in her early years and left behind her only heir. Although Mr. Zhao has been married for many years, the second wife has not given birth The next son and a half daughter, the family loves this only son very much, I heard that the prefect will bring him into the mansion every year for a reunion."

   Speaking of the details, Sun Xiancheng seems to know more than the county magistrate, and he is very talkative.

  Chu Nanzhi saw that magistrate Hu was frowning all the time, but she was a little curious: "No matter how rich and powerful Zhao Taigong is, he can't blame the adults for losing his children."

   "Who said it wasn't."

   County Magistrate Hu's face was full of gloom, and he rubbed his hands anxiously:

   "I searched as much as I could. Seeing no results, Zhao Taigong insisted that I was not good at handling the case. Now, rumors have spread that the bandits entered the city to rob him and kidnapped his family's young gentleman."

   "Bandits make money by robbing, even if they take Mr. Xiaolang away, they should send a letter to ask for ransom."

   "This statement is naturally reasonable, and since I took office, I have already eliminated the bandits. When I say bandits, I feel that Mr. Zhao is an enemy with others. Some people want him to kill off his children and grandchildren. It's just a terrible word."

  Magistrate Hu half-closed his eyes, a little helpless:

"It looks like autumn is coming, and when the year-end assessment comes, the postmaster of the county will come to the county for inspection. He wanted to use this tax and bank case to get a promotion, but if Mr. Ben, if you say that I let the bandits enter the city privately, I'm afraid that the black hat I just picked up will be lost again."

   "It turns out that the adults are worried about this matter."

  She also knew in her heart that for an official to make achievements, the law and order of a place is very important, and banditry is the most taboo.

  Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smiled wryly: "It's just that a commoner's wife can't share your worries for adults."

   "Miss Chu is too modest."

  Magistrate Hu walked around her with his hands behind his back, vowing:

"The scene of Mrs. Chu's settlement of the tax and bank case is still vivid in my mind. It really opened my eyes. Now if Mrs. Chu can't find out for me about this case, I'm afraid that Lu No one in Yangang can relieve my worries."

   "Your Excellency is really flattering women."

  Chu Nanzhi didn't intend to be modest on purpose, this kind of case is indeed difficult to investigate.

   After all, it was not her era, with surveillance and advanced information.

  The conditions here are terrible.

  An injury to the leg can kill a person, let alone other aspects.

   "I won't let Mrs. Chu waste her time in vain."

  Magistrate Hu was afraid that she would refuse, so he left no room for change, so he immediately said:

   "Zhao Taigong is one of the largest families in Luyan Port. If the child can be found, everyone will be happy, and the reward will be rich, not only that"

   As he spoke, he asked Prime Minister Sun to fetch four ingots of grain silver and put them on the table, and continued: "I have already prepared twenty taels of grain silver for Mrs. Chu, and I will take care of all expenses during the case."

   "Oh, there is silver and there is silver"

  Chu Nanzhi fixedly stared at the twenty taels of silver.

  This kind of corrupt officialdom communication.

  It's really annoying!

   smiled happily: "It's easy to talk about money."

   These days, no ordinary woman can earn this much money at once, which is almost Lin Jinxiao's salary for three months.

   No earning, no earning.

  So, this is a temporary worker hired by the county government?

   And for one job, he earns more than people like Lin Jinxiao and Li Ce.

  Looking at the several white ingots of silver, her tone suddenly became serious:

   "Please ask the magistrate to bring the files to the women to look at. The women dare to try, but there is no guarantee that they can give the adults a satisfactory explanation."

   "It's okay, as long as Mrs. Chu is willing to share my worries for me, I will be grateful."

  When the county magistrate and county magistrate heard that she was willing to intervene in the case, they were all overjoyed.

   After all, she is a strange woman who cracked the tax and bank case, so they are still full of expectations.

   These days, although the group of people below are not afraid of the wind and rain, they almost turned the entire county upside down, but they haven't found a trace of clues so far. Seeing that the Zhao family is pressing harder and harder, they are really anxious.

   Taking advantage of the gap between Sun Xiancheng to get the file, Hu County magistrate pushed the silver to Chu Nanzhi, and generously gestured:

   "Ms. Chu will accept the money first. If you can find Mr. Xiaolang for the Zhao family, I will thank you very much."

  Currently, without even reading the file, Chu Nanzhi seemed to have no idea, how dare she take money from others.

   While hesitating, County Magistrate Hu pushed the silver towards her again, and said with a sincere smile:

"I said before that I would not let Mrs. Chu waste my time in vain. In fact, I shouldn't bother Mrs. Chu to come out to show my face for this officer. I have been really restless because of this matter recently, so I have no choice but to make such a plan, so this is my official. A little kindness, Mrs. Chu will definitely accept it."

  Chu Nanzhi stared at his earnest and sincere expression, knowing that this time was different from the past.

  If he doesn't accept the money, he must feel that he is trying to perfunctory him.

   After thinking about it, in order to ease his heart, she had no choice but to take the money: "Thank you so much, sir."

  But the fact that the entire county government is helpless must be very difficult.

  She wasn't completely sure.

   Not long after, Sun Xiancheng brought all the files.

  He handed the files one by one to Chu Nanzhi and explained:

"This is all the details of the case recorded since the case happened, including the confessions of the members of the Zhao family, the patrolling situation of the yamen servants that night, and the information obtained from the visits these days. They are all recorded, without missing a single word. Please read it, Mrs. Chu. "

   Well, it’s quite comprehensive.

  Chu Nanzhi nodded in satisfaction, and roughly browsed the file.

  The dossier is divided into two volumes:

  The first volume records the specific personal information of the young man of the Zhao family and the description of the people in the Zhao family before and after his disappearance;

  The second volume is to record the patrol situation of the yamen servants that night and some important information of the visits and inquiries these days.

  To sum it up, Mr. Zhao's young man is ten years old this year. He is filial, kind, intelligent, and healthy. He disappeared from the mansion in the early morning eight days ago. There was no change in the mansion the night before, and the city was peaceful.

At the second quarter of Mao Shi, the servants of the Zhao family discovered that Mr. Xiaolang was missing, and reported the case to the county government at the first quarter of Chen Shi. At three quarters of the present time, the county government immediately sealed off the four gates, strictly investigated and interrogated passers-by, and dispatched three teams of government officials to search the city. Immediately afterwards, notices were posted, and tour officers from various townships were ordered to visit various villages.

  An important piece of information recorded in the dossier also caught Chu Nanzhi's attention: the night before the accident, there were no traces of theft or looting in the county.

   From this, she can judge that it was not the bandits who entered the city and robbed Mr. Zhao's young man.

  It was just like what she said just now, if it was a kidnapping, after so many days, the Zhao family should have received a letter to redeem people with money.

  But there is no such information recorded in the dossier.
