Yu Jiguang is in his thirties, tall, with bull's eyes. He wears a round-necked blouse, a scarf on his head, and plays with a folding fan in his hand.
When he saw Yang Yuan passing by Ji's Braised Meat Shop, he walked into the "Song's Snacks" by a familiar route, and wandered to the door of Ji's Braised Meat Shop.
Yu Jiguang wanted to ask the fat shopkeeper about Yang Yuan's details, but he saw the fat shopkeeper holding a sharp knife, staring with a pair of bull's eyes, and still breathing heavily.
Yu Jiguang hesitated for a moment, then gave up the idea of asking him, slowly walked to the door of Song's snack shop, and glanced at the household registration number in front of the door with the corner of his eye.
In the Song Dynasty, the household registration system was implemented. A sign was hung in front of each house with the information of the people living here.
With a quick scan, the person knew from the information on the household registration card that this family had a total of four permanent residents.
The head of the household is named Song Laoshi, and he has an unmarried daughter named Song Luxi.
There are also two long-term tenants, one named Yang Che and the other Yang Yuan. Judging from their similar names and ages, they should be brothers.
Naturally, I can't go back and make business with this information alone, but if I rush into the store, I'm afraid of alerting the enemy.
Yu Jiguang pondered for a moment, then turned around and saw a woman squatting there at the foot of the stone steps by the river, washing clothes, and walked over.
Yu Jiguang walked to the river, walked down two steps along the stone steps, lifted up the train of his robe, squatted down on the stone steps, smiled at the woman who was doing the laundry and said, "Madam, I want to ask you something." Something."
The woman who was doing the laundry looked back and saw from the way this man was dressed that if he was not an official or businessman, he was a scholar or from a well-to-do family. She put down her clothes-beating stick and smiled politely and said, "Master, you are You’re welcome, but I don’t know what you want to ask?”
Yu Jiguang used a folding fan to point to the shop with the word "Song" next to Ji's braised food shop, and asked: "Madam, there is a young man who sells Suo Huan in Song's snack shop. I don't know his name. ah?"
The woman asked doubtfully: "Why are you asking about other people's affairs?"
"Oh! That's right."
As a secret agent of the National Information Service, Yu Jiguang is naturally good at handling such small situations: "To be honest with you, my master is a merchant in the raw silk business. He has only one daughter and has always wanted to recruit a diligent and smart young man as his wife..."
When she heard that this was the case, the woman immediately became interested and smiled at Yoshimitsu: "Your master has a good vision. This kid Erlang is indeed very good. It's just a pity that you came late."
Yu Jiguang asked: "Why, is it possible that this young man is already married?"
The woman smiled and said: "It's not like we were married, but if you met him a year ago, you would have had the chance to marry him, but now, it's impossible."
"how do I say this?"
"My lord, you don't know something. The young man who sent us the call was named Yang Yuan. He just crossed over from the north to the south more than a year ago. He was begging for food all the way and had no food or clothing. It's so pitiful. You If you meet him at that time, of course he will rush to marry you and become a live-in son-in-law."
The woman smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that Yang Yuan and Yang Che, who has been renting at the Song family snack shop, have quite similar life styles. Both of them have the same surname Yang and are about the same age. This Yang Che The high official just happens to have a brother who has been lost for many years, don’t you think this is too coincidental?”
Yu Jiguang smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's a bit too coincidental."
The woman smiled and said: "The young lady of the Song family who helped him at that time became suspicious, so she left him in the shop until the official Yang Che came back from duty and asked him to meet Yang Yuan. Hey ,guess what?"
No need to guess, Yu Jiguang also knew what was going to happen, but he still asked with great awareness: "What's going on?"
The woman clapped her hands and said excitedly: "This Yang Yuan happens to be Yang Che's brother who was left in the north when he was a young official. You said this is a coincidence!"
Yu Jiguang's eyes flashed and he said slowly: "That is indeed a coincidence, but I don't know who this Yang Daguan is?"
The woman said proudly: "Don't think that the people in Qingshi Lane are just ordinary people. That official Yang is the marriage officer of the Imperial City Division. Hey, Imperial City Division, have you heard of this yamen? "
Yu Jiguang's eyes suddenly shrank, but there was still a calm smile on his face, and he responded vaguely: "Oh? Imperial City Secretary..., haha, who among us in Lin'an Mansion has never heard of the Emperor? Where is the City Secretary?"
The woman said smugly: "That's right. I heard that the officials of the Imperial City Division can see people from the official family at any time. You think, although Yang Daguan can't afford a house in this inner city for the time being, It’s impossible for his brother to marry into someone else’s house even though he has a house? Do you want any more face? My ancestors will all be humiliated.”
The woman shook the water on her hand and asked enthusiastically: "Hey, you said your family wants to find a younger brother to marry into the family, right? I do have a distant nephew, but I don't know where your family lives and how much money you have. How old is that girl at home, and what is her appearance and character like?"
"Haha, to be honest, the girl who fell in love with Yang Yuan is actually our girl, so I was ordered to find him here. If another person is brought back, I'm afraid it will make my girl unhappy. I'm just a servant. People are not troublesome, so...thank you, aunt, for knowing me."
Yu Jiguang thanked the woman perfunctorily, then got up and walked out of the alley.
As soon as he turned around, his eyes were already filled with gloom.
Imperial City Division!
The brother of this idle man who sent the "call" turned out to be a marriage officer of the Imperial City Department!
So, when this idle man went to Banjing Pavilion, was he really going to send someone off?
Or was he instructed by his brother?
In fact, Qin Hui's secret meeting with the Bujin people was a huge secret. Only Eunuch Li and a few confidants in the entire National Information Institute knew the truth.
Now Yu Jiguang, who was sent to investigate Yang Yuan's details, did not know why he wanted to investigate Yang Yuan.
What Li Yaban said to him was that he suspected that this person was more than just an idle guy and asked him to find out.
But when he heard that Yang Yuan's brother was an inspector of the Imperial City Department, Yu Jiguang thought about it, and hostility arose.
Because the National Information Service and the Imperial City Department were both intelligence agencies of the Song Dynasty, there was an inherent competitive relationship between them.
And since the Guoxin Institute was completely controlled by Qin Hui, it was also branded as the Qin Xiang Sect.
But what about the Imperial City Division? It belongs to the Custodes system.
The Forbidden Army system is an existence that Qin Hui has not been able to touch so far, not only because the Forbidden Army is directly under the emperor, but also because... the formation team of the Forbidden Army in the Southern Song Dynasty came from Yue Fei's old department and Han Shizhong's old department.
These two generals' old troops... Who can take a liking to the old thief Qin?
Therefore, the relationship between the Imperial City Department and the National Information Institute has become even worse.
In this case, the Guoxin Institute has a strong sense of territoriality regarding its own one-third of an acre of land.
What Yu Jiguang suspected at this moment was that the Imperial City Secretary had crossed the line, stretched his hand too far, crossed the information office of another country, and interfered with the affairs of the Jin Kingdom mission that they should be responsible for. Naturally, he was extremely dissatisfied.
Yu Jiguang walked out of Qingshi Lane, walking faster and faster. He had to report the matter to the security guard immediately and retaliate to the Imperial City Division!
