Chapter Seventy-Eight: Takeover
readx;? Yang Jing thought that Du Kefeng would admit defeat, but he didn't expect him to insist so much, and it is conceivable how powerful the murderer behind it is. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"If you don't tell me, they'll kill you. Yang Jing could only use the last coercion and temptation.
"Hmph, if I keep my mouth shut, they'll just kill me, but if I do, they'll kill me!" Du Kefeng was obviously fully sober.
"Do you think that if they kill you, they will let your family go?" Yang Jing continued to persuade, but Du Kefeng gritted his teeth anyway.
Just when Yang Jing had nothing to do, Song Fengya suddenly rushed in!
"Su Xiuji came in with a large group of spies, saying that he was going to take over the case and investigate the murderer who poisoned Master Du!"
When Du Kefeng heard this, he seemed to have expected it, but instead became calm, and just sighed helplessly.
Yang Jing frowned, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since you have made such a choice, I will not force you, anyway, Yang will definitely investigate this case thoroughly, even if there is no you, it will also come to light!"
After a pause, Yang Jing continued to lure and said: "But if you tell the truth, you know, I know how to make better use of that elixir, and I am not afraid to tell you that I have taken over all the things in Zhou Wenfang, how to prepare these elixirs will not be difficult for me, Elder Song Cige has been following up on this case, if you come forward as a witness, I guarantee that you will not only be safe for the whole family, but also be able to continue to enjoy the elixir, you think about it." ”
This is already Yang Jing's last condition, and he can also see that Du Kefeng is a little shaken, but if he wants to convince him, he still needs a final kick.
"By the way, Su Xiuji may come in to find out about your condition in a while, you'd better pretend to be unconscious, and don't let him know that you are awake no matter what, otherwise your death will be even closer!"
This person is so strange, if there is nothing to love, there will be nothing to be afraid of, but Yang Jingshi moved out the pill and Song Ci again, and gave Du Kefeng a hope again, even if it is slim, it is better than despair.
So when Yang Jing turned to leave, Du Kefeng gritted his teeth, closed his eyes tightly, and began to pretend to be unconscious.
Yang Jing had just left the courtyard, and Su Xiuji had already poured into the courtyard with secret agents.
The eldest lady Du Li was troubled all night, and finally settled down, and heard that the secret agent was going to investigate the poisoning of Master Du, and wanted to remove all the things of Master Du, so she hurriedly let the men and women in the courtyard block the front.
Du Li is Du Kefeng's original partner, and he followed Du Kefeng from the supervision all the way to the general judgment, and he has also seen the world, when Huang Zhengmin left, he had already explained that she had to cooperate with Yang Jing in everything, so as to find out who poisoned Du Kefeng.
Song Fengya and Xu Fengwu wanted to take a confession, so she gathered all the people who had approached Du Kefeng, and now Du Kefeng fell, everything was up to her, the big grandmother, and suddenly Su Xiuji appeared, and she wanted to intervene horizontally, she could only stare dryly, and saw Yang Jing come out of the room, as if she had seen a life-saving straw, grabbed Yang Jing's wrist, and was so excited that tears came out.
"Lord Yang, you're coming out! Look at this..."
Yang Jing smiled, quietly withdrew his hand, and arched his hand towards Du Li's family: "Grandma, don't worry, everything has me." ”
Du Li also knew that Song Ci attached great importance to Yang Jing, and Huang Zhengmin had also hinted to her, but when she heard Yang Jing's big tone, she also questioned in her heart, a small pusher in Baling County and a secret agent of the Imperial City Division really couldn't twist his thighs!
Yang Jing didn't say much, walked straight over, and asked Su Xiuji, "Master Su, what are you doing here?"
Su Xiuji smiled, raised his head slightly, and replied to Yang Jing.
"Lord Yang, Du Tong is an official of the imperial court, and he has the duty to listen to the heavens, and this kind of case of being poisoned by someone is not something that Lord Yang can touch, so let's let our Imperial City Division investigate, don't bother Lord Yang." ”
Before Su Xiuji's words fell, the spies around him stepped forward one after another, and they were about to rush into Du Kefeng's room without saying anything.
Song Fengya and Xu Fengwu saw that the other party was about to make a move, and they also pressed the handle of the knife with their hands, and they were on alert!
"What's the matter? Lord Yang wants to hinder the public office?" Su Xiuji's face suddenly turned cold, but Yang Jing just smiled.
"Don't misunderstand Lord Su, Yang is just a little pusher in Baling County, where do you dare to take care of the affairs of Jiangling Mansion, it's just that Governor Huang asked Song Ge Lao for help, so Yang Mou was asked to assist in the investigation, before the Jiangling Mansion magistrate came, Yang didn't dare to let Lord Su take over the case. ”
"Tuiguan, hehe, he can't come, this is an official document and a ticket issued by the prefect, this case will be in charge of someone Su in the future, and Lord Yang doesn't need to worry about it." ”
Yang Jing was able to hear this, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, thinking that although Huang Zhengmin said that he didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, with Song Ci's face here, he was still very cooperative until this morning, why did he change his face after a while?
is so condescending, I am afraid that my inference is not wrong, Huang Zhengmin was also controlled by the real murderer behind the scenes with opium!
However, Yang Jing already had a plan, and he didn't panic in his heart, Su Xiuji handed over the official document and the card ticket, but Yang Jing didn't answer, just waved his hand and said: "Since Master Su has said so, Yang is also happy to be idle, hehe." ”
Yang Jing said this, Song Fengya and Xu Fengwu had no choice but to get out of the way, and watched those secret agents enter the room and move out of the boxes one by one.
"Brother Yang... This is our clue..."Song Fengya tugged at Yang Jing's sleeve and muttered in a low voice with some dissatisfaction, but Yang Jing just shook her head, patted the back of her hand with a smile, and signaled her to be calm.
Su Xiuji saw that the spies had finished moving the boxes, so he smiled at Yang Jing and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Lord Yang for your understanding, if there is nothing to do, Su will leave first." ”
Su Xiuji was about to leave after speaking, and he had just taken a few steps when he heard Yang Jing say.
"Master Su's business is done, and now it's Yang's turn to speak. ”
When Su Xiuji heard this, he couldn't help but stop and turn around, Du Li and the others thought that Yang Jing was incompetent and couldn't stop Su Xiuji, and they were angry in their hearts, but now they heard Yang Jing's voice, and they couldn't help but get excited again.
"What does Lord Yang want to say?"
Facing Su Xiuji's gloomy expression and questioning, Yang Jing just said something nonchalantly.
"The prefect entrusted me to investigate, Yang did not disgrace his mission, although it is not clear who sentenced Du Tong to poison, but the poison was sent, but Yang already knew it, and these things don't need to be moved back!"
"What! Lord Yang has already found out, thank God!" Du Li and the others immediately cheered, but Su Xiuji's face was grim, his gentle and elegant bearing was completely gone, and his gaze staring at Yang Jing was as cruel as a poisonous snake hidden in a cave!
He is a secret agent of the Imperial City Division, even a prefect like Huang Zhengmin, who has to give him three points of thin noodles, why did Yang Jing do so outrageous?
As we all know, suspicion is a common problem of those in power in all dynasties, and in order to consolidate the imperial power, as early as ancient times, various secret agencies have appeared.
And the scale, the formation of the system of the spy agency, appeared in the Han Dynasty, is the Han Wu Emperor's embroidered clothes, and Wu Zetian in order to consolidate the imperial power, also set up the internal guard, to the Ming Dynasty, Jinyi Wei East and West two factories are even more frightening, Yongzheng period sticky rod and so on.
Among them, the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories can be said to have brought the spy agencies into full play, with eyeliner and eyes all over the country, and the government and the opposition were silent, but there was a wind and grass, so they rode out in all directions, and the embroidered spring knife flying fish suit became a sign of color change that everyone talked about.
Among the secret agencies of all dynasties, the closest to Jinyiwei should be the Imperial City Division in the Song Dynasty.
Although Yang Jing already knew that this case was not as simple as it seemed, and the identity of the murderer was very likely to be very special and involved people in the officialdom, he was not a professional historical researcher, and the history of the Song Dynasty was written by a group of Mongols such as Totokh in the Yuan Dynasty, even if the study of the history of the Song Dynasty was extremely laborious, it was difficult to know the true face of the Song Dynasty, so Yang Jing did not have a specific concept of how powerful the Imperial City Division was.
He did find fingerprints on the wrapping paper of the opium paste, which also matched the fingerprints left by Su Xiuji on the tea bowl, and in addition to his fingerprints on the wrapping paper, only Du Kefeng's fingerprints remained, that is to say, Yang Jing was completely sure that Du Kefeng's opium paste was provided by Su Xiuji!
Although it is not known whether the overdose of raw opium was Du Kefeng's voluntary act or forced by Su Xiuji, it can be concluded that Su Xiuji has an ulterior connection with Zhou Wenfang, and Su Xiuji really wants Du Kefeng to die a reasonable and unsuspecting death!
No matter what the truth is, Su Xiuji, the secret agent of the Imperial City Division, is enough to attract Yang Jing's attention and list him as a key target for investigation!
However, these Imperial City spies have direct power, and their information is gathered in Lin'an like snowflakes through post stations across the country.
After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty also fought a bitter war in the early days, because of the great defects in the intelligence mail system, resulting in orders and information could not be conveyed in time.
There are military and official mailing forms, such as gold plates, express delivery shops, rebuke shops, swing shops, provincial shops, etc., which are military and official, and also retain the wartime beacons, flags and flying pigeons and other means of communication.
These express delivery methods cover a wide range of areas, and the speed is also fast, if you keep changing horses, you can even reach the speed of traveling 300 miles a day, and the secret inspectors of the Imperial City Division are all over the country, and their secret reports can also be reported and shared in a timely manner through the cobweb-like intelligence transmission system.
Even at that time, official newspapers such as the Di Bao and tabloids appeared, so that local officials in various places could keep abreast of the major events in the court.
And these intelligence systems, in addition to the maintenance of the government along the way, need to rely more on the Imperial City Division to coordinate the overall situation, which also makes the status of the Imperial City Division more and more rising.
At present, the situation in the north is grim, it is said that the Mongols have begun to invade the south, and the Song Dynasty is also actively preparing for war, but the country has been in peace for too long, the officialdom is corrupt, and the people are even more complaining.
In line with the policy of shutting down the outside world and first securing the interior, the officials and high-level Zaifu spread the secret inspectors of the Imperial City Division like dandelions to various places, and the local officialdom was also panicked, who dared to easily offend the secret agents of the Imperial City Division?
Su Xiuji is the small leader of the secret agents in the jurisdiction of Jiangling Mansion, Yang Jing does not know his specific official position, but he can restrain the prefect like Huang Zhengmin, and he is definitely not a simple character.
At present, Yang Jing is just a criminal case pusher, not even an official, although Yang Zhixian obeyed him, but he was also exiled from the position of an official, Yang Jing's only backer is Song Ci, although he is famous for a while, but in the end he is only a pensioner.
With such a disparity in strength, Yang Jing was inevitably anxious if he wanted to attack Su Xiuji, but he was also helpless, if he let Su Xiuji go this time and let him transport these boxes away, and he couldn't pry Du Kefeng's mouth open, it would only be more difficult to investigate further.
This kind of thing is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, the more you are afraid of retreating, the more he will have to move an inch, if even Su Xiuji doesn't dare to move, then this case will simply be completely abandoned, and there is no need to investigate.
When Du Li and the others heard that Yang Jing had found out the person who supplied the poison, they all set their eyes on Yang Jing, and Yang Jing also felt the murderous intent in Su Xiuji's eyes!
But Yang Jing was even more determined in his decision, he walked up to Su Xiuji and said to him: "My lord, the stakes are very high, can you take a step to speak?"
Su Xiuji was still afraid that Yang Jing would expose him on the spot, if this was the case, with Du Li and others present to witness, it would be difficult for him to kill Yang Jing and kill him, and he couldn't kill everyone present.
But now Yang Jing seems to be jealous of his identity, and he wants to talk to him privately, which is much easier, although Yang Jing has a hand in solving the case, but after all, he is a stunned young man from Miao Village, as long as he is encompassing grace and power, it is not without room for maneuver.
Thinking of this, Su Xiuji's expression also relaxed, and said with a smile: "Since Lord Yang has a clue, it also saves a lot of trouble, so good." ”
With that, he followed Yang Jing into the outer room of Du Kefeng's room.
Although the fingerprint comparison is accurate, it is a means of testing for later generations, and it is a standard that has been verified countless times for decades, but it is obviously not recognized in the Song Dynasty.
In this way, even if he exposes it in public, Su Xiuji only needs to ask him to provide evidence, he is at a loss, if he wants to forcibly detain Su Xiuji, with him and Song Fengya and Xu Fengwu, he has no power to fight against Su Xiuji and a group of secret agents under him.
But now that he showed weakness, Su Xiuji followed him into the room, and in one-on-one words, Yang Jing still had a good chance of winning.
Besides, even if he wins Su Xiuji, it will be difficult to torture the true information from the mouth of this secret agent, it is better to be false, even if he can't get some useful clues, maybe he can let Du Kefeng see Su Xiuji's true face, so as to pry Du Kefeng's mouth open!
