Jiangling Mansion has a long history, since the Tang Dynasty has been famous all over the world, to the Southern Song Dynasty and Lin'an, Shaoxing, Jingde and other places, together with Lin'an, Shaoxing, Jingde and other places, become a rich and prosperous capital.
In the late Southern Song Dynasty, due to the destruction of the Jin State, the Mongols began to move south, taking over most of the territory of the Jin people.
The Hunan and Hubei regions have become the rear of the front line, and places like Xiangyang Province have become the front line in the later war against the Mongol army, so the geographical location of Gangneung Province has become more and more important.
Baling belongs to Yuezhou, that is, Yueyang, which is said to be in Hunan, but in the Southern Song Dynasty, Jinghu North Road governed what is now Hubei and part of Hunan, Yueyang and Changde and other places belong to the jurisdiction of Jinghu North Road.
The governance of Jiangling Mansion is located in Jiangling County, which is also a place with a long history, the Three Kingdoms was the seat of Jingzhou, and it was called Jingzhou City in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it even became the capital of Qi and Emperor Xiao Baorong during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and when the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Jiangling became the capital of Nanping again, and the classic poems that praise Jiangling in history are numerous.
In addition to Jiangling County, Jiangling Mansion also has Zhijiang, Dangyang, Changlin, Gong'an, Jingmen and other counties.
This is the first time Yang Jing went out of the country, the scenery along the way is beautiful, the landscape is good, relying on the name of Song Ci, the officials from all over the country are also good to receive, do not dare to slack off for half a minute, the days are comfortable, the journey has become extraordinarily short, and soon arrived at Jiangling Mansion.
Although this Du Kefeng is only a general judgment from the five grades, but the official position of the Song Dynasty is relatively special, although the general judgment is the second official of the governor of the state government, but he is in charge of the local military administration, money valley, household registration, enslavement, and prison litigation with the governor.
It can be said that although the official rank of this general judgment is lower than that of the prefect, it is a pawn used by the central government to check and balance the local officials on the pastoral and defensive side, and the prefect naturally does not dare to point fingers at the general judgment.
A character who even the prefect doesn't dare to mess with, Yang Zhixian is just a county official of the seventh grade, and Yang Jing is not even in the stream, if there is no Song Ci, a big man, who personally goes out, Yang Jing wants to investigate Du Kefeng, it is simply a fool's dream.
Because of walking with Song Ci, except for Xu Fengwu and Song Fengya, Tang Chong and others did not follow, but fortunately, Su Xiuji happened to submit the investigation report to Yang Jing, so he followed.
I have to say that the work efficiency of the secret agents in Jiangling Mansion is still very high, in the past few days of investigation, under the leadership of Su Xiuji, these secret agents have made secret visits, and they have found seven cases of inexplicable disappearance of secret prostitutes, and Yang Zhixian interrogated Zhou Nanchu's entourage overnight before, and got a list, which is the fireworks women he found for Du Kefeng before.
After such a comparison, four of the seven missing secret prostitutes disappeared during the construction of the city gate by Du Kefeng, if there is no accident, these four poor women should have died at the hands of murderers like everyone else.
This also shocked Song Ci even more, and strengthened his determination to accompany Yang Jing to interrogate Du Kefeng, and Su Xiuji was from Jiangling Mansion, accompanied by him, before and after, Song Ci and the others were still ten miles away from the city, and the prefect came out with local officials to greet them.
Regarding Su Xiuji's appearance, Yang Jing also thought it was a coincidence at first, but after thinking about it, he still asked Song Ci some questions about Su Xiuji in private.
This Jiangling Mansion spy has appeared in Yang Jing's sight since the shipwreck case, whether it is with the Baling County Ya, or the local squire and tyrants, or the Miao Village in the deep mountains and old forests, or even the imperial relatives like Yan Lichun, Su Xiuji has some friendship.
This elegant-looking middle-aged man seems to have brought the essence of the spy into full play, left and right, with an amazingly large network, and is good at making friends.
Such a spy has departed from the impression of being sneaky, but is a bit like a spy in later generations, with outstanding communication skills, extremely good at hiding his identity, and obtaining the information he wants by expanding his network of contacts more and more.
In fact, this kind of spy or spy movement has been very widespread in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the secret agents of the imperial court are also spread to the localities in an open and honest manner.
After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou took the remnants of the imperial court to be safe, but the Jin people stalked and stalked, searched the mountains and inspected the sea to catch Zhao Gou, and the various forces in the country and the peasant uprising were not broken, in order to deal with the enemies in the north, in order to "fight outside must first settle inside", timely control of the domestic situation, curb the occurrence of rebellion, the Song Dynasty's secret service Huangcheng Division has become more and more large and critical.
In order to deal with the Jin people in the north, the Southern Song Dynasty court even set up a special imperial camp department, that is, the speed room of the Privy Council, which was full of war spies, used to spy on military intelligence and assassinate the enemy, and this institution later became an important yamen set up in wartime.
The Imperial City Division blossomed everywhere in the Southern Song Dynasty, and its authority became bigger and bigger, not only acting as a palace guard, supervising hundreds of officials, spying on the military situation, and monitoring the public opinion of the people, but the tentacles were getting deeper and longer, but it was a bit like the extremely inflated Jinyi Guard at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Because the institutions of the Southern Song Dynasty court almost copied the Northern Song Dynasty, there was not much difference in the staffing of the Imperial City Division, and the highest prefect was still served by the eunuchs, but the Imperial City Envoy had already existed in name only, and there was one promotion officer like other yamen, two promotion officials, and five cadre officials, five inspection text envoys, legal envoys, chief escort officials, and so on, and the secret agents below were secret inspectors, and these secret inspectors were also the grassroots of the Imperial City Division, all over the country.
Su Xiuji is the small leader of the Huangcheng Division branch on Jinghu North Road, as for who his boss is, except for important ministers like Song Ci who can access secrets, I am afraid that even the prefect of Jiangling and other local officials do not know, but I am afraid that this is also the reason why he has a high degree of freedom of movement in Jiangling.
There is no need to go into detail about what kind of person Song Ci is, it is a local honor for Song scholars to come to Jiangling, and it is natural for Huang Zhengmin, the prefect of Jiangling, to go ten miles to greet him with officials of all sizes.
Although Song Ci only said that he came to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangling, explore the local people's feelings, go to the government office to check the files, and collect materials for his "Collection of Grievances", but the prefect Huang did not dare to be careless, and he was always a little apprehensive.
This can't be blamed on Huang Zhengmin, because Song Cigang is upright, and he judges the case like a god, and I don't know how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been planted in his hands over the years.
Yang Jing is just a pusher, although he follows Song Ci closely, he is not eye-catching, and everyone thinks that he is just Song Ci's little entourage.
The group happily welcomed Song Ci into Jiangling City, the city has already been sprinkled and cleaned, the roadside has obviously been cleaned up, the shops and vendors are in order, and the people of Jiangling heard that the legendary criminal officer Lord Song is coming, and they have welcomed him and saw the dignity of Song Ge Lao.
This pomp and circumstance is too lively, and it is much more shocking than those leaders who inspected in later generations but let the students shout welcome welcome and warm welcome in the sun and rain.
But Yang Jing did not forget the purpose of this trip, he looked at Su Xiuji, who was calm and calm beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Master Su, dare to ask which one is Du Kefeng Du Tongju?"
Although Su Xiuji is in his early forties, he is very well maintained, gentle as jade, humble and polite, and his beard is extraordinarily free and handsome, and he is outstanding in appearance.
Yang Jing has long understood the charm of Su Xiuji, but he always feels that this handsome uncle has a different bearing every time he appears, and his eyes are like ever-changing elves, which always gives people an unfathomable sense of mystery.
Xu is crowd was too noisy, Su Xiuji came back to his senses after a while, lowered his voice and asked Yang Jing, "What did you just say?"
Yang Jing: "I want to ask Master Su, which one of Du Kefeng Du Tong is among them?"
Su Xiuji sighed, then shook his head and said, "Lord Tongju is not in the queue." ”
"Not there?" Yang Jing didn't have time to tell Su Xiuji about the case, and Su Xiuji caught up with their team at the last minute and came to Jiangling with them, which gave Yang Jing some new ideas.
Du Kefeng is a general judge, holding the authority to supervise hundreds of officials and go straight to Tianting, and Su Xiuji is also a secret agent directly subordinate to the official family, it is inevitable that there will be work cooperation between the two people, and both of them are in Jiangling Mansion, maybe the friendship is not bad.
Besides, even if Su Xiuji and Du Kefeng have no personal relationship, and they don't have much contact in official affairs, with Su Xiuji's exquisite temperament, if he wants him to offend Du Kefeng and participate in Du Kefeng's investigation, he may not be able to do it.
Moreover, he has a deep relationship with the yamen of Jiangling Mansion, and what he wants to investigate now is the general judgment of Jiangling Mansion, and according to the rules, he Su Xiuji also wants to avoid suspicion.
Therefore, Yang Jing discussed with Song Ci, not only did he conceal the intention of the investigation from Jiangling Mansion, but even Su Xiuji could not know about their investigation of Du Kefeng.
Su Xiuji didn't know what Yang Jing was thinking, and seeing that Yang Jing was a little surprised, he explained: "Earlier, Su had heard before he arrived in Baling County, Du Tong was sentenced to be infected with a cold and had been ill for a long time, and he didn't work for a long time, so I am afraid that such a scene will not come." ”
"Infected with wind and cold?" Yang Jing also laughed when he heard it, this Du Kefeng is extremely lustful, no woman is not happy, he sings every night, his body is so good, what he says is that he is infected with wind and cold, it is a joke.
I am afraid that after Zhou Wenfang was arrested, he could not provide Du Kefeng with raw opium, so that he had a withdrawal reaction.
Yang Jing is very aware of the harm caused by this withdrawal reaction, especially when Du Kefeng takes unrefined raw opium, which has greater toxic side effects, and once there is withdrawal, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive.
Du Kefeng, as the general judge, is the No. 2 person in Jiangling Mansion, but Song Ci came to Jiangling Mansion to collect style, and he couldn't support such a big thing to come out to greet him, which shows that his physical condition is no longer optimistic.
"It can't go on like this, you must visit Du Kefeng as soon as possible, if he dies because of withdrawal reaction, this clue will be broken!"
Yang Jing thought so in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Song Ci in front of him, and now he could only rely on this Song scholar.
But at this time, Yang Jing suddenly smelled a strong smell of spices, like musk and cinnamon, which was completely different from the floral fragrance of the sachets carried by ordinary women!
