Chapter Seventy-Three: Onset

readx;? People say that the Song Dynasty is a paradise for literati, the utopia of scholars, without personal experience, it is difficult to feel this kind of prosperity and hustle and bustle that seems to be a world away, even if the Southern Song Dynasty is a corner of peace, and the north is about to go to war, but the officialdom is still extremely extravagant.

Although Song Ci is upright, he can become a scholar, and he also has his own set of philosophy on how to deal with these scenes.

Since he wanted to help Yang Jing investigate Du Kefeng, Song Ci simply asked Yang Jing to accompany him, although it was just a simple introduction, claiming that Yang Jing was his son and nephew, but it was enough to impress Huang Zhengmin and others with Yang Jing.

On this reception banquet, Yang Jing followed Song Ci, although those people had the heart to toast, but they also knew that Song Ci was old and did not dare to be too presumptuous, so Yang Jing took over the errand of topping the wine.

Although these literati drank soft liquor, the degree was not high, but the drink was extremely heroic and uninhibited, Yang Jing still asked for others, and he didn't dare to put on a posture, and when the comers did not refuse, they were also dizzy.

But seeing that above this banquet, the copper lamp and the cow candle are crackling, the beauties are dancing and singing, full of nephrite and warm incense, smiling and smiling, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and staggering and busy, I am afraid that tomorrow's wine and tea will be cold and cold, only to know that last night's rhetoric was just a laugh and talk.

Huang Zhengmin also specially arranged a charming and charming girl to serve Yang Jing closely, the girl is no longer shy, bold and hot, from time to time with a plump chest to Yang Jing's arms and body, the seductive body fragrance continues to drill into Yang Jing's nostrils, like the incense of the soul, fascinating.

Yang Jing is not sitting still, just because his thoughts are not on the girl's body, compared to the girl's body fragrance, what lingers in his mind is still the spice anomaly that he smelled before.

People say that the humble gentleman, gentle as jade, jade jewelry has always been the favorite of the literati, and in addition to jade, the literati also like to wear sachets, although it looks a little girly, but it is elegant enough.

In the process of these people's toasting, Yang Jing also kept sniffing the fragrance of these men, it was not that Yang Jing had a special habit of men, he just wanted to find out the smell of spices that he smelled before.

Unfortunately, although the literati at this banquet also wore sachets, they were all scented with flowers and herbs, not the strong smell of musk or mixed spices such as cinnamon.

He shouldn't have cared so much about this fragrance, because this fragrance came from Su Xiuji beside him, although Su Xiuji looked polite, but Yang Jing had already inquired about Song Fengya, although the recruitment of these secret agents has strict standards, and their status is special, which makes people fearful, but the high-ranking literati are unwilling to be secret agents.

The literati had a supreme position in the Song Dynasty, studying was to participate in the imperial examination, that is, to be Tian Shelang in the court, and to ascend to the Tianzi Hall at dusk, and the gentleman did not stand up in the court, which scholar was willing to be a secret agent who risked his life?

But Su Xiuji became a secret agent, and his performance along the way was satisfactory, unexpectedly humble and low-key, Yang Jing really had no reason to doubt Su Xiuji.

But it is such a sleek and delicate person without any shortcomings that makes Yang Jing feel a little weird.

And what changed his opinion of Su Xiuji was the smell of this spice!

Su Xiuji is also a figure in Jiangling Mansion, and the prefect Huang Zhengmin and others saw him accompany Song Ci to come, and their attitude towards Su Xiuji became more gentle.

Halfway through the banquet, the atmosphere has gradually entered, and the adults in these officialdoms have begun to let loose their wreckage, hugging the sweaty maids, up and down their hands, talking nonsense, and the banquet was suddenly a mess, filled with a lavish atmosphere.

Although Yang Jing drank a lot of wine, he still tried his best to stay sober, and during this period, he also took advantage of the time in the thatched house to pick his throat and spit out all the wine.

However, Song Cike didn't have such good energy, after three rounds of drinking, and after chatting politely, he planned to go back to rest, after all, he was old, and after a few days of travel and fatigue, Huang Zhengmin and others naturally did not dare to stay.

Yang Jing also wanted to take the opportunity to go back to rest, but Song Ci glanced at him and asked him to stay, the master brought him in, and the cultivation depended on the individual, Song Ci gave him a start, and if he wanted to build a good relationship, he had to rely on Yang Jing's own ability.

Although Yang Jing was disgusted with this kind of entertainment, in order to investigate the case, he could only force a smile and continue the banquet.

Song Ci wanted to leave the table, so everyone naturally had to send it off in person, and Huang Zhengmin, the prefect of Jiangling, and many local officials sent Song Ci out.

But just after leaving the door of the banquet hall, an old housekeeper with a goatee crashed in, and almost didn't touch Song Ci!

Huang Zhengmin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he was a dignified prefect, Song Ge was going to come to collect the wind, it was a good opportunity for him to climb the knot, whether it was a servant or a subordinate, he had already told him a thousand times, whoever made a mess was tantamount to asking for hardship, but he didn't expect the always calm old housekeeper to make such a reckless fool!

"What a brave dog slave, how dare you rush into the elder of the pavilion, how did this official Pingsuli teach, don't kneel down for me quickly!"

The old housekeeper didn't expect Song Ci to leave the table at this time, so he immediately turned white in fright, and he knelt down.

Song Ci is to help Yang Jing this time, he is not a master who oppresses people with power, besides, now that he has become a leader, although Yu Wei is still there, but in the end, it is the tiger that falls into Pingyang, and he immediately smiled and helped the old steward to a false hand.

"Alas, Lord Huang is serious, the deacons in the old house and this mansion are thoughtful, and this banquet is also very well prepared, Lord Huang should reward them, why bother with trivial matters. ”

Huang Zhengmin already knew that Song Ci was a black-faced god above the court, but in private he was an extremely casual and easy-going person, so his worried heart calmed down, and he kicked the old steward and said, "Don't get up and thank Song Ge Lao!"

The old steward hurriedly got up and thanked him, and Huang Zhengmin asked: "You are also an old man in the house, and you won't be so abrupt and reckless if you don't have anything important, just say it." ”

"Yes, the adult said that it was just this matter" The old steward looked embarrassed, and secretly glanced at him, Huang Zhengmin drank a lot of wine, and in order to get into a relationship with Song Ci, he feigned anger.

"Why are you old man living more and more back, Song Ge is not an outsider, it doesn't hurt to say anything directly!"

The old steward saw that the lord of the mansion was angry, and nodded his head again and again, but after glancing at many officials, he still lowered his voice and reported.

"My lord, it is a general sentence Lord Du Du is sick again, although the old slave has invited Lao Langzhong to come over, but Lord Du is afraid that it is an adult, so hurry up and take a look."

"What?" Hearing this, Huang Zhengmin's wine immediately turned into a cold sweat and was forced out, and the officials behind him talked about him left and right, pretending not to hear this.

"It's a joke for the elder of the pavilion, this sentence Du Kefeng has been Shen Ke for a long time, and he can't greet the elder of the pavilion today, which is rude, and now alas" Huang Zhengmin apologized to Song Ci.

When Yang Jing heard this, his heart was also tight, he was really afraid of something, if Du Kefeng had a problem at this juncture, this clue would really be broken!

He hurriedly and quietly pulled the corner of Song Ci's clothes, Song Ci understood, waved his hand at Huang Zhengmin and said: "Lord Huang doesn't have to be like this, this life, old age, sickness and death are human nature, how can the old man be worried, but the general sentence is that the adult is infected with scabies, I am afraid that it is also due to busy official business and hard work, it is really admirable, my little nephew knows a little bit about the art of disambiguating Huang, why don't we go over and visit together, and the old man can also talk about it." ”

Yang Jing heard Song Ci say it well, and in a few words, he elevated the matter to the level of the boss consoling his subordinates, and Huang Zhengmin couldn't help refusing, and he admired it tightly in his heart.

Huang Zhengmin already had the heart to tie up Song Ci, and Song Ci said all that, where did he dare to refuse, he immediately asked the old steward and many attendants to light lanterns, lead the way in front, and take Song Ci and Yang Jing to Du Kefeng's residence.

Huang Zhengmin should also know a little about Du Kefeng's situation, in any case, the sentence of serious illness is not good news for him.

Although the general judgment is an important adjutant to check and balance the prefect, but Du Kefeng has been a general judge for a while, Huang Zhengmin has a good relationship with him, if Du Kefeng dies, and then he is replaced by another general judgment, Huang Zhengmin has to spend time and money to establish a relationship, he is naturally unhappy.

In fact, he didn't know what disease Du Kefeng had, only that Du Kefeng was obsessed with women on weekdays, and often secretly looked for flowers and asked willows.

So he let the others stay on the banquet, and left the banquet hall in a hurry with only Song Ci and Yang Jing.

Yang Jing swept his head into the crowd of banquet guests, his brows couldn't help frowning, but he couldn't say anything at the moment, so he buried his head behind Song Ci and came to Du Kefeng's inner house.

Du Kefeng as a general judge, in the prefect of the yamen behind his own independent residence, Du Kefeng himself is a supervisor, this official residence may have been improved by his design, the outside looks simple and unpretentious, but there are caves inside, rockeries and living water, pavilions and pavilions, winding paths and secluded, it is also an extremely elegant place.

It's just that it's dark this night, Yang Jing doesn't have the heart to watch, he just feels that the twists and turns are playing, which means that the courtyard is deep and deep, and he came to the inner house of Du Kefeng's official residence after a while.

Du Kefeng's wives and concubines have already become ants on a hot pot, chattering endlessly, the servants of the official residence dare not breathe outside the room, and several old men with white hair gathered at the door of the room, quietly arguing about Du Kefeng's illness, until Huang Zhengmin and his party arrived, they were stopped by Du Kefeng's wife Du Li.

"Lord Huang, you are finally here, but you can save my family's officials!" Du Li is in his early forties, and he is obese, so he is about to cry, the fat powder on his face has fallen, and then look at the other wives and concubines, one by one, pretending to be pretending, no wonder Du Kefeng will look for flowers and willows everywhere.

Huang Zhengmin frowned, but in the end, he still had to preside over the overall situation, so he helped Du Li up and said to her.

"Madame, don't be impatient, Song Ge Lao is well versed in medical skills, and this Mr. Yun next to him is also a holy hand of medical Taoism, and let them see Master Du's condition first, and then we will take care of it." ”

As soon as these people heard that the famous Song Ci actually came in person, they bowed down and saluted, saving people is important, Song Ci also waved his hand, and was about to enter the room, and found Yang Jing standing still, and couldn't help but turn around, but found that Yang Jing's eyes were focused on the group of old men.

Although Yang Jing is Song Ci's person, these old men are not mediocre, Yang Jing was said to be a holy hand of medicine by the prefect at a young age, and they are also faceless.

But Yang Jing was not in a daze because of this, and he was not observing these old men, his gaze passed over the figures of the old men and landed behind them, the closest to the door.

Su Xiuji, who didn't know when he left the banquet, was standing there at this time, his face was as usual, he still maintained extreme calm, and he seemed to feel Yang Jing's gaze, and he also smiled and nodded at Yang Jing.
