Even if she didn't agree to Yuanyang and Heping'er, Feng Ziying would still go to prison.
He didn't care about people like Jia Mu and Jia She, but he still wanted to check in and say hello to people like Tanchun, Xiangyun, Xichun, Xiuyan, and Li Wan.
The imperial prison is located inside Long Jinwei, adjacent to the Former Army Governor's Mansion and the Right Army Governor's Mansion, and the area is quite large.
In fact, the inner hall of Long Jinwei's Beizhen Fusi is not very large, because Beizhen Fusi has multiple secret investigation and handling locations in the capital city. It is more like a government agency, but South Town Fusi is mainly concentrated in
here.
Others come to Long Jinwei with trepidation, but Feng Ziying is on the same level. She has come many times. In addition, she knows a lot about Long Jinwei's internal affairs and has lost the sense of mystery, so she doesn't have much fear.
Zhang Jin met Feng Ziying and knew why Feng Ziying was there, so he sent someone to take him there.
Zhang Jin also told him that although the imperial prison was under the control of Long Jinwei, it was also an independent agency within Long Jinwei, similar to the Prison Department in Shuntian Mansion, and was not under the jurisdiction of Beizhen Fusi.
However, Zhang Jin specially sent someone to say hello, and the prison should be given some face. Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan was still quite famous in the capital city.
It won't be too difficult to show off, and it will be embarrassing to meet people in the future if you offend them.
The person who came to receive Feng Ziying was a deputy Qianhu named Feng, who had the same surname as Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying did not know his identity, but he could tell that he should be a person who could manage things in the imperial prison.
"I have seen Xiao Feng Xiuzhan in my humble position."'
The visitor was very polite, cupping his fists and cupping his hands. Feng Ziying returned the gesture and said casually: "It sounds like Feng Qianhu is from Shandong."
"The ancestral home of the humble position is Xiajin." Feng Qianhu's face was very delicate, but there was a sinister aura between his eyebrows. I don't know if it was because he had stayed in the imperial prison for too long.
"Xia Jin?" Feng Ziying was quite surprised. She stood still and said, "Then Feng Qianhu and I are from the same country. I'm from Linqing."
Linqing and Xiajin are close to each other and are both prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Dongchang Prefecture.
"Oh?" Feng Qianhu was also surprised. Everyone in the capital knew Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan's name, but everyone only knew that he was from Datong. He grew up in Datong, but he didn't expect that he was from Shandong. "Sir,
Are you from Linqing? There has been a rumor in Beijing that you are from Datong."
"Yes, my ancestral home is Linqing. Now my family also has an ancestral home in Linqing. I went back to live for a while a few years ago, but I encountered the Linqing Civil War there, and then I met the man who was working in Shandong.
Master Zhang and Master Zhao,..."
Feng Ziying and Feng Qianhu said as they walked.
"I see. It is said that Lord Zhang and Lord Feng are close, but no one knows the whole story. Not many civil servants in the capital city are close to our Long Jinwei." Feng Qianhu was also very talkative, and he expressed his gratitude to Zhang in his words.
Jin and Zhao Wenzhao don't seem to be shy about it either.
"Haha, many people think that our Feng family is from Datong, but we are not." Feng Ziying also said with a smile: "It's just that my father's generation has been guarding the border in Datong. I also grew up in Datong since I was a child. After growing up, I have to return to Linqing."
It was only twice, so it was misunderstood by the outside world."
"Our family was originally separated from Linqing, and moved to Xiajin during the Guangde period. Maybe we were still the same family a few decades ago." This Feng Qianhu also joined in the fun.
"Oh?" Feng Ziying saw that the other party was interested in making friends, so naturally she would not refuse. After talking about her seniority, she found that she was really worthy. The deputy Qianhu named Feng Ziyi was one generation younger than Feng Ziying. To talk about seniority, she had to call her uncle.
.
This immediately brought the two of them closer. Feng Ziyi was more than ten years older than Feng Ziying. When he was in the prime of life, Feng Ziying also asked him about his situation. It turned out that his father was Long Jinwei, and his son inherited his father's legacy.
, joined Long Jinwei, first worked in Nanzhen Fusi, and then went to Experience Division for two years before coming to Zhao Prison.
"The Experience Department is good, why do you want to come to the Imperial Prison?" Feng Ziying certainly knows what the Experience Department is, it is an office, responsible for sending and receiving documents and arranging and handling daily affairs, and ensuring the core organization is in place. Don't look at the North and South Town Fusi and
The Seventeen Thousand Household Office is majestic and has great external power, but when it comes to promotion, it is still not as good as an intimate organization like the Experience Division.
"Haha, uncle, I used to be from Baihu, and I had some skills in the Experience Department. I wanted to be promoted to break my head. Later, there was a vacancy in the imperial prison, and some people were unwilling to come, so I got the opportunity. I originally planned to work in
I have been working here for two years, and I am thinking about doing something in Nanzhen Fusi or Beizhen Fusi..."
Feng Ziying also somewhat admired this guy for climbing along the pole, and he called her uncle without hesitation, but Feng Ziying didn't care, she just wanted to make progress, which is understandable, and she was also happy to have such a "nephew" in prison, at least
The Jia family can also have someone to take care of them.
The internal organization of Long Jinwei basically followed the Jinyiwei of the former Ming Dynasty, but the organization has not changed much, but the functions have changed a lot. For example, the North and South Town Fusi has jurisdiction over 17,000 households, which is impossible in Jinyiwei.
However, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Longjingwei had already adjusted. In a word, the original function of Jinyiwei guarding the pro-army had been stripped to the Shangsan pro-army, and it had become a detective agency from beginning to end.
"Oh, actually the imperial prison can also do some things, so you don't have to worry too much about staring outside." Feng Ziying nodded, "Especially in the past year and a half, I estimate that there will be many people entering the imperial prison one after another.
When the southern expedition to Jiangnan is over, more people will come in, and prison investigations and prison trials will become even more important."
Feng Ziyi was slightly shocked and thought carefully. She thought that the other party wanted to use her to help the Jia family, but the last two sentences had a profound meaning and were not deceiving her.
The number of prisoners entering the imperial prison has increased significantly recently, and a large number of prisoners will continue to enter. As the other party said, if the southern expedition to Jiangnan ends, then a large group of officials and gentry in Nanjing will probably be sent to the capital. This imperial edict will
I'm afraid the prison won't be able to accommodate it, and the workload involved in the subsequent investigation and trial will definitely be huge.
"Uncle, what do you mean..." Feng Ziyi asked tentatively.
"This time Long Jinwei, the Criminal Ministry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are taking large-scale actions. Ziyi, you should understand what the purpose is. One is to rectify people's hearts. The other important reason is to be fully prepared for the upcoming Southern Expedition, especially money and food.
"Preparations for the above." Feng Ziying said calmly: "The imperial court does not have sufficient financial resources, so it must take multiple measures to raise money and food, and Long Jinwei is no exception, so..."
Feng Ziyi understood immediately and nodded repeatedly: "Uncle, I understand."
"As long as you understand, these people don't need to be too harsh. I estimate that except for some important criminals who need to be detained for a long time, the court will have some requirements for others. It is estimated that many of them will be released on bail pending trial. This also involves paying a bond.
Regardless of the quantity, if you do this job well, you will definitely be recognized by the superiors."
That's all he could say. Feng Ziying saw that Feng Ziyi was still thoughtful and felt that the boy could be taught. "Ziyi, you can also mention it to Shangfeng, which can be regarded as sharing the worries of the superiors. Just Jia.
The family has detained sixty or seventy people. These people eat horse chews every day and spend a lot of money. If they can be released on bail and go home to await trial, or even pay the fine directly, it can be regarded as increasing the income of the court."
Feng Ziyi suddenly understood, yes, what merits do the detainees in this prison have? It is their duty if nothing happens, and they will be punished if something happens. But if you can give some feasible suggestions to the superiors, as long as you can
If you are adopted, you will undoubtedly get into the eyes of the superiors. This is the most correct and effective way to show your face.
No wonder he is already a fourth-level official at such a young age. The best way to win the approval of his superiors is to do things right.
Seeing that the other party finally nodded with emotion, Feng Ziying said no more and walked straight inside, with Feng Ziyi by her side and Ruixiang following behind.
After entering the prison gate, someone came to greet him. Feng Ziyi nodded and said to go to the prison cell where Jia's family was. The two prison guards, carrying a large number of keys, immediately nodded and bowed to lead the way.
The prisons were numbered according to the order of A, B, B, D, and there were quite a few torches and lanterns around them, which illuminated the inside very brightly. It was not like the messy wooden fences, grains, and grass in the movies and TV shows, so it was relatively tidy.
After entering the gate, there is an inner door, which is similar to a thousand-jin gate. There are specialized personnel guarding it. The thousand-jin gate needs to be raised with a winch to enter. In times of danger, just cut off the noose and destroy the winch, which will make it difficult to get out.
, so it is almost impossible to escape from prison.
Inside the inner door are the prison cells according to the size. Feng Ziying followed and walked to the C-size cell. Behind the high detour, there was another small door. The cell leader opened the door, shouted twice, and poked out a cell.
I checked the person with my head and then opened the inside. In other words, this is an inner and outer double door, and you need to open both sides at the same time to enter.
As soon as he entered the No. C prison cell, he could immediately feel a musty and cold smell. Feng Ziying couldn't help but frown. It was estimated that this cell had not been used for a long time and had only been opened not long ago, so she felt a kind of cold smell.
Stale taste.
"Sir, there are twenty cells in Cell C, which can accommodate one hundred and twenty prisoners. Currently, they are mainly prisoners of the Rongning Jia family." Feng Ziyi introduced: "Basically, two to three to three to five people are held in one cell.
During this time, only one person was held in solitary confinement.”
Feng Ziying asked curiously: "Who?"
"Jia Qin from Ningguo Mansion." Feng Ziyi glanced at Feng Ziying.
"Oh, it's her." Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other person was talking about Qin Keqing.
Looking at Feng Ziying's expression, Feng Ziyi also knew that the other party must know the origin of this girl. She smiled and lowered her voice and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just an illegitimate daughter. It's just that my uncle is too sensitive about her identity, especially her mother.
, so I simply put him in solitary confinement, but he can still communicate with the surrounding prison cells, just separated by a fence."
