Chapter 97 This is my head
The next day, I returned to Qishemen to cancel the leave and prepared to investigate the disappearance of Pang Tiande with Zhang Youqian.
I brought two high-quality Longjing into Zhuge Shaobing and said, "Mr. Zhuge, I am not in Jinling these days, and the matter of Jianghu Department has caused you trouble. This is the best-quality Longjing. I bought it to honor you on my business trip.
I came from Zhang Youqian's house. Although he was reluctant to let it go, he gave it to me without hesitation. Seeing Zhuge Shaobing's face full of sorrow, I sat there and sighed, so I asked, "Why did the lord sigh?"
Zhuge Shaobing said in a muffled voice, it was not because of Hu Zongxian's case.
I said that Hu Zongxian was a second-rank official of the court. Even if the case was tried, at least it would have to be a Potato Department, a Radish Department, and a Cabbage Department. Why are you worried about it?
Zhuge Shaobing said, this is exactly what makes me headache. Yesterday, the emperor said, asking the Jinyiwei, Dengwenyuan and Liushemen to jointly trial in Jinling. The imperial court officials did not use the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and Dali Temple, but they used the Jinyiwei and Dengwenyuan teams that belonged to the emperor directly. The emperor treated this case as a private case. What's strange is that since it was a royal private case, why did we drag our Six Gates in?
Of course I know why, what Hu Zongxian said yesterday was involved in the level of officialdom, but involves the dispute over the world's fortune and the chair, so the emperor had to use his own people to investigate the case. As for the Six Gates, responsible for the inspection and the affairs of the world, there was no problem being assigned to be in.
As for Dengwenyuan, it was said that it was an organization established thirty years ago when His Majesty was still the crown prince. Later, it was disbanded by the First Emperor. However, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he kept it secretly. However, this organization is very mysterious and rarely appears.
Speaking of which, Dengwenyuan still has some connection with Liushemen.
When Dengwenyuan was first established, it was still the same team as Liushemen and two teams, but later it gradually separated and became more and more mysterious.
In this way, the person who picked up Wang Heng from Songjiang Prefecture that day was most likely the one who was from Dengwenyuan. Wang Heng was the commander of the imperial guards of the late emperor. After losing power, he wandered to the sea. If the late emperor was still alive, he should have known the news.
In other words, over the years, Zhu Runze has secretly sent the Dengwenyuan, a spy organization that directly obeyed him, to investigate the case of the disappearance of the late emperor.
Obviously, Hu Zongxian seems to have an understanding of this matter.
Zhuge Shaobing was very confused, but this kind of thing was not our turn to worry about. I could only comfort me, and the emperor valued Lord Zhuge, and maybe he wanted to make contributions and take the opportunity to be promoted.
Zhuge Shaobing cursed a few words, "Good, don't be so flattering me." I have a good job and how many bowls of dry rice I know in my mind, but I'm afraid that this job looks like a bunch of flowers and it's really a fatal poisonous needle inside."
I reported to him about my work. Zhuge Shaobing said, I heard that the world of the world has not been very stable recently. Now the emperor is still in Yingtian Mansion. Your Jianghu Department is responsible for supervision and management, so don’t take it lightly. Our six doors are six doors, and the Jianghu Department is Jianghu Department. You have been performing your duties for more than a month, and you have to achieve some results. Don’t let down the trust of Your Majesty and the people.
I said that this time I came to report for this reason, so I reported some of my thoughts to Zhuge Shaobing.
Since I took over the Jianghu Department, the major sects in the Jianghu Department have not taken seriously, and they lack the necessary awe in their hearts. This is completely contrary to the original intention of the imperial court to establish the Jianghu Department.
This is not difficult to understand. The rivers and lakes operate according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, while the court manages them according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. These are two completely different and even completely opposite codes of conduct.
In the world, people who are willing to be revenge are respected, and strength is the supreme.
In the temple, we should act according to the law, pay attention to justice and pursue harmony.
The purpose of establishing the Jianghu Department was to integrate people in the Jianghu into social norms. However, after the actions over the years, there was no substantial change, and the court silently accepted the results of this reform.
I reported to Zhuge Shaobing some ideas on establishing a comprehensive supervision and management system in the martial arts of Jiangnan, and prepared to use Jinling as a pilot project to implement it.
First, establish a registration and approval system. The establishment, merger and branch laying of major sects must be approved by the Liusanmen Jianghu Department and issued certificates, and an annual inspection system for sect certificates will be established. Sects that fail to complete the requirements on time will be publicized and will be attributed to evil outsiders.
Second, implement six major regulatory indicators. Dynamic supervision and management of major sects are carried out from six aspects: sect size, martial arts level, sphere of influence, and competition results. Each year, conduct a prudent assessment based on the supervision results, and publish the regulatory rating results in the world. The better and the standardized sect will receive a higher rating.
Third, control the mouthpieces of Xiaosheng Jianghu, Jianghu Gossip Weekly, firmly control publicity and other matters in their hands, and constantly promote the regulatory ideas of our Jianghu Department, so that major sects can subconsciously influence the entire Jianghu Lake from their subconscious mind, and thus subtly export new values.
Fourth, levy supervision fees. This is the most difficult to implement. In the Ming Dynasty, business has to pay taxes, farming has to pay taxes, and Jianghu is no exception. The Wulin Conference has tried to collect membership fees before, but in the end, this kind of membership fees has become willingly paid by major sects. Our Jianghu Department should learn from this lesson and link supervision fees with supervision ratings. If necessary, carry out a second crackdown and use the state's violent machine to forcibly collect supervision fees.
After listening to my report, Zhuge Shaobing shook his head and said, "It's hard. Xiao Su, your idea is very good, but it's unrealistic. There are only a few people in the Jianghu Department. My expectation from you is to be able to maintain stability in the Jianghu, mediate internal struggles among major gangs, and maintain order and stability in the Jianghu.
The suggestions you mentioned are too far ahead. You were captured by Chief Lu, who was on the job and trained. In the future, when you return to the six gates of the capital, there are opportunities to promote the implementation from top to bottom. Jinling City is already messy enough. I suggest you don’t try too much.
I said I understand what Lord Zhuge said, but if you don’t try it, how can you know if it’s OK?
Zhuge Shaobing was a little unhappy. Captain Su, you took a photo from the capital. If something goes wrong in the future, I patted my butt and left. My Zhuge Shaobing family has more than 90 people, but I have to have a meal.
I also expected this result, so I said, Lord Shaobing, what I said below may be a bit radical, but we can try to start with some simple things, such as controlling the remarks of Xiaosheng Jianghu and Bagua Weekly.
Zhuge Shaobing's face was a little slow. You can try it. However, Xiaosheng's backstage is unusual and he is very likely to provoke powerful people. Don't blame me for not reminding you. By the way, there has been a lot of trouble in the two places of the Wulin League and Tongshan Temple recently. You can take the time to check it out. During the period when the Holy Lord is in Jinling, please tell them not to do anything randomly.
I agreed, Zhuge Shaobing was still upset about the Hu case, so I left after saying goodbye. I had long had the idea of the reform of Jianghu Department. I originally wanted to write a letter to Lu Zhongyuan for support, but Zhuge Shaobing's words made me realize that this matter must be difficult, but with ideas, at least in the future, Jianghu Department will also have a vision.
The initial trial of Hu Zongxian's case was finalized at the end of May, but the Jinyiwei and Dengwenyuan were not idle. Since they were taking corruption and bribery and exploiting wealthy families to convict Hu Zongxian, there would naturally be no less necessary investigations.
Zhuge Shaobing didn't have to do much, but he was under a lot of pressure. Another thing was to appease the refugees outside the city and persuade them to return to their hometown. He handed over this matter to Zhang and Qian, the captain of Liusanmen. After a few days, it seemed that there was no effect.
If the emperor was not in Jinling, the government would have 108 ways to deal with these refugees, but at this time, it would not be possible to use one.
And there was also an unsatisfactory news. After a few days, a plague began to occur outside the city, and some people began to get sick again, which made the whole of Jinling panic.
South of Jinling City, Pang Tiande's family.
The Jianghu Department is not in charge of criminal investigation, but Zhuge Shaobing not only entrusted the case to the Jianghu Department, but we also had the responsibility to do so. In addition to Zhang Youqian and Jiangnan, there was also a guy named Liu Sanjin.
This is also one of the deals with Liu Yishou, the Beggars' Gang's Jinling branch. The Beggars' Gang is full of people in the Jinling area and can help us collect information and intelligence. In return, we included his son Liu Sanjin in the team of temporary workers in the Liusanmen Jianghu Department.
Compared with Liu Yishou's smartness, Liu Sanjin looks a bit horny, has a hot temper, and is a fool. However, this also has his benefits. He dares to do things and never considers the consequences.
Pang Tiande disappeared on the second day of the fifth day, and the official wife was reported to the official on the fourth day of the fifth day. Because of insufficient evidence, the concubine and the accountant were only controlled and were not arrested in prison.
The Pang Tiande family looked unpretentious from the outside. They thought they would see a sea of gold and silver after entering, and the magnificent scenery. However, unexpectedly, the rockery courtyards, small bridges and flowing waters in the Pang Mansion were extremely elegantly arranged, which was quite charming with the charm of the Jiangnan water town.
According to the case handling procedures, we were divided into two groups, Jiangnan and Zhang Youqian and Liu Sanjin, isolated everyone, and took the news and recorded the records.
Generally speaking, in this procedure, we are responsible for collecting evidence, recording the case files, recording them in the future, submitting them to the magistrate and the magistrate, and making judgments. In the future, the verdict is issued, and Liushemen is only responsible for pursuing and arresting important criminals, solving the case and returning to Liushemen, and deciding the case and returning to the magistrate and the magistrate's office.
He worked until noon in one go and had a general understanding of the whole case. On the night of the first day of the first lunar month, Pang Tiande had dinner and met a few guests, so he discussed with the accountant Zhang Fang in the study. The next morning, Pang Tiande disappeared.
Mrs. Pang, the chief wife, insisted that it was the accountant who murdered Pang Tiande, but could not provide evidence, so she sued Zhang Fang and a concubine to the government.
The key is, if Pang Tiande was killed, where is the body?
I asked Mrs. Pang, you insisted that Pang Tiande was framed. Then I will ask you, where is the body? Have you ever found it? Mrs. Pang cried loudly. We have searched it several times, but there was no whereabouts of the master, and we were almost digging three feet into the ground.
I said, then dig three feet into the ground.
So he ordered the servants to prepare for a carpet search. Not long after, someone shouted, "It's here!"
We rushed there in a voice. It turned out that an old lady went to the well in the backyard to pick up water. But she waved the wheel and found a head in the bucket!
The head is a little rotten, but the face can be seen clearly.
I asked, whose head is this?
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know this person.
Liu Sanjin looked a little fierce. He held the head in his hand and said loudly, "Whose head is this?" After asking several times, everyone took his aura and dared not answer.
Chapter completed!
