Gyeonggi director... Before explaining this position, we must first explain the eight states director.

Yashu Director - The full name is "Kanto Yashu Director", abbreviated as "Hatsushu", and is called "Hatsushu-sama" by the common people.

To put it simply, it can be understood as a relatively special police force.

He is responsible for constantly touring the eight countries of Kanto and suppressing criminals and those whose residences are unstable. He has the privilege of walking freely in the territory of Edo Prefecture regardless of whether it is a territorial domain, a temple or a private domain.

Those who serve as eight states directors are basically lower-level samurai supported by 30 taels and 3 people, or 20 taels and 2 people.

Although his status is not worth mentioning, his social status is quite high.

Their daily task is to patrol the Eight Kingdoms of Kanto. Due to this characteristic, many novelists and dramatists are keen on creating chivalrous stories with the eight states directors as the protagonists.

The content of the plot is almost the same: the directors of the eight states came to a new place and found that evil was rampant in the place. Either corrupt officials were extorting excessive taxes or Yakuza was acting recklessly. The directors of the eight states relied on their strong strength to suppress the evil and promote the

In order to achieve justice, he also gained the heart of a certain girl, and then walked away and disappeared into the sunset under the tearful gazes of the pregnant girl and the grateful villagers, just like an American western movie.

Thanks to these literary and artistic works, the social status of the eight states directors rose sharply.

Over time, the general public generally holds a positive view of it.

After the "August 18th Coup", although the Choshu forces were expelled from Kyoto, the radicals headed by Hisaka Gensui did not give up.

Shortly after the coup, a large number of Choshu patriots... ah, no, a large number of lunatics spontaneously sneaked back to Kyoto, vowing to regain their position.

Since you can't fight head-on, then launch a terrorist attack!

They changed their tactics to harass the shogunate and everything related to the shogunate, especially the Shinsengumi, Aizu Army and Satsuma Army who had reduced them to the situation they were in today.

They may attack lone soldiers; they may try to poison the army rations; or they may throw torches into the military camp in an attempt to cause a fire... Some people even plan to assassinate Qingdeng!

There is something to say, and his ambition is commendable. He challenged the highest level of difficulty as soon as he started.

What a pity, history has proven time and time again: in the face of overwhelming absolute power, spiritual theory does not work.

Therefore, before the assassin started his action, his funny ending was already doomed - he was knocked to the ground without even breaking through the gate of the Shinsengumi camp.

In order to facilitate the naming and express their contempt for them, Qingdeng and others nicknamed this group of terrorists from Changzhou "Changzhou Madman Group".

Although with the joint efforts of Qinjin, Aizu, and Satsuma, the "Changshu Madman Group" was quickly suppressed, and these large-scale terrorist attacks were banned one by one, but those small-scale ones were like "Mosquito Heng Heng"

Harassments have been prohibited repeatedly.

A mosquito bites you a few times and sucks your blood. Although it won't kill you, the "buzzing" sound is really annoying! And the swollen and extremely itchy red envelope also makes people very manic.

If you don't drive them away, these mosquitoes will become more and more aggressive and bite on your nose and face.

Go and drive them away. They run so fast that you can't hit them. Crush them!

Before the shogunate could completely stabilize public security in Kyoto, Choshu, like a dog smelling shit, jumped out to disgust the shogunate again.

After Choshu launched military mobilization across the entire domain, on the one hand, it actively prepared for war, and on the other hand, it sent countless spies and spies to Kyoto, ordering them to collect intelligence while causing trouble for the shogunate as much as possible and distracting its energy.

, consuming its resources.

Therefore, with the full support of the Choshu official, since the beginning of this spring, the "Changshu Madman Group" that Aomi and others had finally suppressed has gradually begun to resurgence, and there have been more terrorist attacks in Kyoto cities and towns.

.

Burn your house today, send a threatening letter tomorrow, and assassinate lone shogunate officials the day after tomorrow... It's so annoying! They are simply a group of hopeless terrorists!

"Protecting Kyoto" is the responsibility of Qingdeng as the envoy of Gyeonggi Town.

The resurgent "Changzhou Madman Group" is wreaking havoc everywhere and seriously endangering the lives and property safety of the people of Kyoto. Qingteng is naturally responsible.

After suffering setbacks, today's "Changzhou Madman Group" has learned its lessons and become more cunning.

They are now completely hidden in the shadows and are never easily exposed to the sun. It is difficult to trace their whereabouts and then it is difficult to eliminate them.

The simple human sea tactic is no longer effective, and may even lead to being fooled around.

In this way, the best way to break the situation is to send out criminal investigation experts who know everything!

Collect intelligence, follow clues, find the base of the "Changzhou Madman Group", and then eliminate them completely!

However... although today's Shinsengumi has a strong military with many soldiers and generals, they are basically rough guys with big muscles and empty heads.

Let them charge into the battle, kill the generals and capture the flag, and they can still survive.

But if they are asked to investigate the case and find the thief, then it is better to avoid it.

Although Nagakura Shinpachi, Harada Sanosuke and others once served as Aoto's Okabiki and solved many cases with Aoto, they basically worked hard and left all the brain work to Aoto.

of.

All in all, sending these rough guys to investigate the case is no different from sending the general manager to handle the accounts.

Funny to say, the only person in the newly selected team who has knowledge of criminal investigation is Qingdeng.

Qingdeng now holds many positions, and every day when he opens his eyes, there are countless official duties waiting for him to handle one by one.

I also knew that he would never be able to go to the front lines to investigate and handle cases as he did before.

How dignified is it for a dignified envoy from the capital of Gyeonggi Province to do the work of Ding Ding Hui Tongxin?

Even if Qingdeng wanted to go, his retainers and generals would try their best to dissuade him.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Since you lack criminal investigation talents under your command, you should hire foreign aid! Find a real criminal investigation expert to fill the gap!

In this way, under Aonto's suggestion, Tokugawa Iemoge created a new position, namely "Kyoto Director" with a stroke of his pen.

Judging from its name, it is not difficult to recognize that this position is modeled after the eight states director.

The main job of the Kyoto Director is to patrol Kyoto and arrest lawbreakers.

Just like the eight states directors, the Kyoto directors have the privilege of walking freely within their own jurisdiction regardless of whether they are territorial, temple or private.

As we all know, temple leaders are only under the management of the temple community, and Tianling is only under the management of the town.

Even when it comes to catching thieves, the two areas do not interfere with each other.

In this way, there is a disadvantage that the tail is too big to be lost.

For example: if a prisoner escapes from Tianling and enters the temple community, then the officers of the prison who are chasing him can only stare blankly, stand outside the temple community, and let the prisoner walk away - they cannot interfere in the affairs of the temple community.

Once they cross the line and arrest people, they are "choking".

Faced with this situation, all the officials at the enforcement office could do was to notify the temple community and let them take over the task and be responsible for subsequent arrests.

If the prisoner is able to escape and leads the temple leader back to Tianling, then the temple leader can only hand this task back to the town leader... kicking the ball back and forth.

I don’t know how many criminals escaped during this football game.

The privilege of "natural access to all territories" possessed by the eight states directors and the Kyoto directors has corrected this shortcoming and greatly enhanced the efficiency of case handling.

In fact, Qingden originally wanted to directly entrust the Kyoto Prosecution Office to help investigate the "Changzhou Madman Group".

However... the Kyoto Prison Office is rotten to the core!

To put it harshly, every one of the officials at the Kyoto Administrative Office are nothing but insects!

Either he is a corrupt official who is obsessed with profit, or he is a mediocre official who has nothing to do with his life.

Not to mention letting them come in handy, Qingdeng would be thankful if they don't do any harm to him.

The governor of Gyeonggi Province has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of Kyoto.

Even if he has the right to intervene, the current Kyoto administrative office is already in a state of ruin, and Aoshito cannot manage it if he wants to.

To be honest, in Ayoto's view, there is no other way to rectify the Kyoto Administrative Office other than "cutting the knot with a sharp knife."

How can we eliminate the "Changzhou Madman Group" with this group of insects?

Rather than bothering to treat this kind of rotten wood that has rotted its roots, it is better to start over again, plant it again, and cultivate a new shoot.

Both Aoto and Tokugawa Iemo understood this, which is why the "Kyoto Director" was born.

From the organizational point of view, the Kyoto Director is subordinate to the governor of Gyeonggi Town, under the jurisdiction of Qingdeng, and directly commanded by Qingdeng. The two parties have a direct superior-subordinate relationship.

Just today, the newly appointed "First Generation Director of Kyoto" will arrive in Kyoto as scheduled.

Qing Deng, as his boss and host, should hold a banquet to entertain him and cleanse him from the dust.

Maybe this is fate - the other party happens to be an acquaintance of Qingdeng.

…

Gion, the largest geisha district in Kyoto.

Although people always think of geisha, geisha and geisha when they talk about "Gion", in fact, regardless of the factors of geisha, Gion is one of the most prosperous areas in Kyoto.

From ordinary izakayas to high-end restaurants, we have them all.

Because there are many geishas here, plus the environment is better and transportation is convenient, dignitaries often hold banquets in Gion.

Today, the reception banquet prepared by Aoto to welcome the directors of Kyoto is held in Gion.
