Edo Traveler

v5 Chapter 9: Ohba 广 众 Lost money bottle

"Lord Kinmaru, that's the judge of the famous Edo, what can make you worry about it!"

If there is any major incident in Edo, there will be a lot of wind and rain in the tableau. Even if you don't keep it all, you can publish eighteen scripts of lace news or something, but Tadaoemon went back and forth from Omo, and he didn't hear any news at all, which means that no major incidents have happened.

If it wasn't a major case, with Zhuliu's ability and experience, and mobilizing the eye-catching eyes of his subordinates, he would almost be able to solve the case.

"Hey, if the case is big, it's really not big." Sukeruku didn't talk nonsense with Chuemon, but frowned.

"What case?"

"Theft."

Sukeru put down his chopsticks and briefly talked about the case with Chuemon. The case is really not a big one. The Ashikaga clan Shimono had a burglary in the residence of the Edo clan and lost a pair of wine bottles.

The Ashikaga domain belongs to the Toda clan, and the current lord is named Toda Tadaru, who is unnamed. He did not hold any official positions, and his family has only 11 thousand stones. Among the daimyo confessed by Edo, there is naturally no fame, and it has never appeared in Chuemon's ears.

If the lost wine bottle is a normal white porcelain wine bottle, it will be there. It may be worth one and two and a half. Toda Shilu may not report the crime, and he will turn over the story as soon as he closes his eyes. However, the lost wine bottle was made of pure gold and was specially used to set an offering table in the New Year to honor the ancestors of the past.

As far as pure gold wine bottles are concerned, a pair of them is worth one hundred two two hundred taels. For ordinary people, it's already a big deal. But for a prince's name, that's nothing but mediocre.

And even though it is a wine bottle used to set the altar, it is not a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation. Because the Edo style is extravagant and trendy, things like patterns and patterns that you like tend to change in a few years. So the pair of gin bottles was made eight or nine years ago or a little more than ten years ago.

It is neither an antique nor a treasure, nor is it a gift from the generals!

Losing such a thing is a normal theft case. But the environment in which he happened is a bit strange. The Toda clan's domain is in Ashikaga, Shimokuni, and the tomb of the ancestor Deru is naturally also in Ashikaga. So here in Edo is to make a Buddhist altar, then put some sacrifices, and pay homage to the ancestors.

The Buddhist niche is placed in the hall, wide open on all sides. The night before, Toda's Lu also had a New Year's banquet with a group of his retainers, and rewarded a group of servants with his servants.

The sacrificial altar table was left for three days, and there was a maid next to the night watch. On the third day when everyone got up to clean up, they discovered that the wine bottle was missing. This was not stolen in the secret room, it was stolen in the public and in full view.

The routine is indeed different

At first, the Toda clan sorted it out in the mansion. After all, the servants hired by Edo had dirty hands and feet, and it was normal to steal them. But when I searched around, I didn't find it at all.

Then the problem naturally focused on the maid who was on the night watch, but the maid only said that she fell asleep in the middle of the night, and she was guarded in the middle of the entire mansion, and she was a female classmate who had no power to bind a chicken. It was impossible. Stole something and went out over the wall, and then ran back.

Unless someone was outside the courtyard, she just had to steal it, and then immediately ran to the wall, and threw two gold bottles that totaled three to four kilograms across the courtyard wall. Run back to the hall again, pretending to be sleeping.

The reason is very simple, everyone thought of it, the maid at the scene must be the most suspicious!

"So if she steals it, she will definitely sell the stolen goods. For your face, does Edo still have a junk collection site you don't know?" After listening to Tadaemon, he felt that the case was not too complicated.

"It's amazing, I let them admit that whoever took the pair of gold bottles and vomited them out would be forgotten, but they said no!" Of course, Zhuliu knew that he was going to find the stolen goods on the underworld, but asked. After a lap, they all said no.

There is a saying that these underworlds are very cooperative in the cases supervised by the government. Because only Zhu Liu opened one eye and closed one eye, their unlicensed Fengyue places and underground casinos could operate underground under the eyelids of the government.

The two are some kind of exchange of interests. I allow you to dirty the money, and you have to help me with the case. Jointly maintain the public order of the entire Edo, or at least the public order on the surface.

In the words of the Japanese themselves, these so-called underworlds are all designated violent societies with official legal status!

Two gold wine bottles are not a big treasure of tens of thousands, but they are worth more than a hundred taels. For the sake of more than a hundred taels of gold, it was offended to help Liu, the newly appointed Dong Group and Master Li, which was obviously not a good deal. No black boss ~lightnovelpub.net~ makes such a low-level mistake.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the younger brother did it himself, and then refused to tell it. But this possibility is not too great. Today's underworld, if you break the rules, it is not as simple as cutting your fingers. It is not unusual for the whole family to tie up the stones and sink them into Edo Bay.

"Is this case not reported?" Chungemon put down the clay bottle of fresh green steam and continued to ask.

Push up in case of trouble!

This is the magic weapon of the feudal bureaucracy!

Aren’t there still Edo-Minami Town observant adults above, so it’s just a matter of letting observant adults do the trick. If the master of the above pushes the case down again, this time, the size can be delayed by half a month and a month, and the time for handling the case will not be sufficient.

"No way, the people below are all watching." Zhu Liu felt a little sulky.

so it is! As the saying goes, there are only three fires for new officials to take office, but if it is young bosses who are only 21 years old this year, there are a large group of old officials who have been working for more than ten years or even ten years. Although they may be very obedient on the surface, they have a pair of eyes behind you from skin to bone, and you have to look at the inside and out.

You have to show some real skills and convince them, so that this work can be carried out easily. If you are not a shrewd master, then wait to be played by them.

This is what Shioroku is worried about. He is a new hire. If he encounters the first case, he will be extrapolated. It is not clear how to deal with it. How will the people below look at him?

From a very realistic consideration, Zhu Liu should not only solve the case, but also make it beautifully, so that the entire Eastern Group and the officials under Li's command would be convinced, rather than bend and perfunctory.

"Take me to see, too, I'm just free." Chuemon always tried to give his brother a hand.
