Zhao Jun woke up more than an hour later. He was lying in his home, surrounded by Cao Xiu, Di Qing and others.
"Chisi."
When everyone saw him getting up from the bed, they gathered around him.
Zhao Jun just straightened up and leaned on the head of the bed, staring blankly ahead without speaking.
Cao Xiu knew that today's events might have a great impact on him. He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Zhi Si, we have captured everyone and killed twenty-three who resisted. The rest did not escape."
"Where's the victim?"
Zhao Jun didn't care much about the people in Wuyou Cave. Death on the spot was their best relief.
"It has been properly accommodated."
Cao Xiu replied: "There are thirty-one people. The Imperial City Division does not have that many government offices. I found a friend to borrow his house to settle them first and sent someone to guard them."
"Did you ask for a doctor?"
"Please."
"Can Ping'er be saved?"
"Can't be saved."
"Why?"
"She has been raised in a bottle since she was a child. There is a switch under the bottle that allows her to excrete. Her body has curled up and is extremely fragile. If the bottle is opened by force, she may die."
"Is that so?"
Zhao Jun murmured to himself, and then said: "What about mother-in-law?"
Cao Xiudao: "Wuyou Cave has a special group of women, but these people are active during the day. They either kidnap other people's girls, or work as matchmakers, matchmakers, and other businesses. They are engaged in arranging business, and they all live outside. , the guards have been sent to arrest him."
"Um."
Zhao Jun just responded and seemed to have not come back to his senses.
At this time, several more people came in outside the door, led by Wang Shouzhong, the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
When Wang Shouzhong saw Zhao Jun's distraught appearance, he hurriedly walked over with his eyebrows lowered and said, "Xiao Lang, how are you? The officials were very worried when they learned that Xiao Lang had fainted and sent the imperial doctor over."
"fine."
Zhao Jun waved his hands and suddenly felt that life was really meaningless. He said to Wang Shouzhong: "You should report what should be reported to the officials. I am going to kill some people. I will kill Liao Yu's teeth about the clan daughter." If he knocks it off, if he doesn’t tell it, his men will tell it.”
"yes."
In fact, Wang Shouzhong already knew something, so he lowered his head and left silently.
Zhao Jun got up from the bed, nodded and said, "Let's go."
"Xiao Lang."
Di Qing, a tough man, was still full of resentment at this moment and said: "If the Wuyou Cave is to be wiped out, Xiao Lang must let me go."
"Well, don't worry."
Zhao Jun forced a smile and said: "I will deal with the matter of Wuyou Cave later. I will clean up the dirt on the ground first, and then start dealing with the underground."
Although he was extremely angry, he did not lose his mind.
This time, only one branch outside Wuyou Cave was wiped out. According to Chazi's report, Wuyou Cave has thousands of people and more than twenty branches. It is huge and occupies the crisscrossing underground waterways, making it extremely difficult to clear out.
Historically, people like Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng launched sieges against Wuyou Cave, Guifan Tower and other forces, but they were blocked every time they entered and could not be cleared away.
It was not until the Yuan Dynasty relied on the Mongols to forcefully flood the entire underground city that the Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower were completely destroyed.
It can be seen from here that dealing with this cancer is definitely not a simple matter.
To truly solve this problem, in addition to the Imperial City Division, we must also unite the power of Kaifeng Mansion, Dali Temple, and even the Forbidden Army to achieve it completely.
But now Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple may become constraints, so Zhao Jun must clean up these hindrances, otherwise once these people tip off the rats below and tell them about the actions of the Imperial City Division, the consequences will be disastrous.
Moreover, Kaifeng Mansion itself is the protective umbrella of underground evil forces such as Wuyoudong and Guifanlou. These people are easy to deal with on the surface, and they also have their crimes in their hands. Who will we deal with if we don't deal with them first?
"Call the Royal City Imperial Guards!"
"Zhisi, please let me go back to where Si Yulongzhi is stationed in front of the palace to dispatch troops!"
"Go ahead, follow the original plan, arrest people, and ransack homes. Where are those people now?"
"They are all in the Kaifeng government office at this time."
"Surround Kaifeng Mansion."
"yes!"
Cao Xiu, Di Qing and others responded one by one.
Zhao Jun personally led the team out of Qingtai Street, and teams of Royal City Imperial Guards appeared behind him.
The power of Kaifeng Prefecture is actually not weak. It includes the two Chi counties of Kaifeng and Xiangfu. There are also thousands of government officials such as Zhanban Zaoli, Jieban Kuaishou, and Zhuangban Minzhuang. Together with the Imperial City Division and Dali Temple, they work together to protect Bian. Liang Zhengan.
However, in the past, the Imperial City Division only had the right to inspect, and any cases they encountered had to be reported to Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple, so they could only be regarded as assisting rather than leading.
But now that the Imperial City Division has strengthened its authority, it has gradually replaced the role of the Kaifeng Palace. A large number of imperial guards have begun patrolling the streets. The backlog of cases in the Kaifeng Palace has also been slowly transferred to the Imperial City Division, which seems to have replaced them.
Following Zhao Jun's order, all the Imperial Guards in the city mobilized, fully armed, and brought crossbows, knives, armors, and ladders. Each leader led a hundred people, divided into more than ten teams, and rushed to attack Liu. More than 2,000 people from the homes of Yuanzhi, Ma Yi, Gao Dingyi, Liao Yu and others rushed directly to the Kaifeng government office.
The Kaifeng government office is actually not far from Qingtai Street. It is located in the Shangshu Province in the southwest corner of the Imperial Dynasty. It was originally northwest of Junyiqiao Street and south of the Bianhe River. Next to it is the Yushitai. Since Zhao Guangyi had served as Kaifeng Prefecture Yin, he moved Kaifeng Prefecture to Shangshu Province after he became emperor.
After the Shangshu Province was decentralized, it was basically an empty shell. It covered an area of more than 300 acres, with a huge area and many buildings. It looked like a small city on the outside.
The central axis of the inner room is the Fumen, Yimen, Main Hall, Meeting Hall, and Plum Blossom Hall, supplemented by two halls on the left and right, Tianqing Temple, Mingliyuan, Qianlong Palace, Qingxin Tower, Prison, Yingwu Tower, Yin Hotel, etc. More than fifty Halls and buildings, large and small, make up this vast institution.
Zhao Jun has been to Kaifeng Mansion several times, and every time he is amazed by the buildings here. Compared with his imperial city government office, it is like a majestic palace, and his own is like a dilapidated thatched house.
More than 2,000 Royal City Imperial Guards rushed towards Xijiaolou Street. The wide street was now in chaos with the arrival of the Imperial Guards.
Those who set up stalls, shopped, walked in the alleys, and sold goods on the streets avoided it like the god of plague. After the guards left, the streets were in a mess. People were curious about what happened to the Imperial City Division again. Why are you so crazy? Many people boldly followed him.
Soon after arriving at Xijiaolou Street, Huangcheng Si was followed by nearly 10,000 Bianliang citizens who were watching, and the number was still increasing.
At this moment, in front of the Kaifeng government office, the huge government office gate is open, and there is a long queue at the door. People in Bianliang must register at the door if they want to report to the government. After registration, the Kaifeng government office will not work immediately, but will depend on how much money you spend. How much silver.
Although the Kaifeng Prefecture has recently pushed all cases to the Imperial City Division, after all, the Kaifeng Prefecture has held great power in Bianliang for a long time. The people only know about the Kaifeng Prefecture and not the Imperial City Division, so a large number of people still come to report to the official.
"It's not good, it's not good."
The government officials at the gate were bored and registering, and while they were asking people for money, a fast horse galloped over and stopped at the gate of the Kaifeng government office.
A Kaifeng Prefecture express team leader jumped off his horse in a hurry and shouted at the yamen gate.
An official from the government office in charge of registration rolled his eyes at the yamen gate and said, "What are you talking about? What happened in broad daylight?"
The squad leader rolled up and rushed to the steps, pointed to the back and said anxiously: "The Royal Guards of the Imperial City are coming towards our Yamen."
"oh?"
The official from the government was puzzled at first, and then said: "Maybe they were just passing by."
Xijiaolou Street is located in the southwest corner of the Imperial Dynasty, connecting the west and south of the city. If people from the Imperial City Division want to go to the south of the city, they must pass by here.
But the problem is that the Imperial City Office is located in the east of the city. I heard that Zhao Jun, the governor of the Imperial City, lives in the west of the city. Could it be that the Imperial City first recruits people from the east of the city and then goes from the west to the south of the city. Isn’t this too roundabout? ?
Before the government official could figure out this issue, the sound of "dong dong dong dong" footsteps could be heard on the wide street, and then a large number of Royal Guards from the Imperial City Division appeared in sight.
"Let's report it to the governor first."
Someone said.
"go."
The government official looked at the Royal City Imperial Guards outside with vigilance.
He did not order the gates of Kaifeng Mansion to be closed because the Song Dynasty had been founded for more than 70 years and no one had ever dared to attack Kaifeng Mansion.
You must know that Taizong served as the governor of Kaifeng, so Kaifeng Prefecture had a special status in the Northern Song Dynasty.
At this moment, the people queuing up outside Kaifeng Mansion to report to the official had realized that something was wrong, and they all moved a little further away, waiting eagerly.
Zhao Jun jumped out of the crowd and walked to the front. He raised the token in his hand and said to the people behind him: "Kaifeng Mansion is hiding filth and evil. The Imperial City Department has been ordered to arrest key criminals. Do you know who you should arrest?"
"Know!"
Several conductors behind him shouted loudly.
Zhao Jun said coldly: "Come in and anyone who dares to stop you will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xiu pulled out the knife from his waist and shouted angrily: "Come in, anyone who dares to stop you will be killed without mercy!"
"kill!"
The Royal City Imperial Guards were part of the mobilized troops. They burst out with terrifying murderous intent and rushed towards the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.
Only then did the government officials at the door realize that the Imperial City Secretary was serious. Thinking of Li Dewen being arrested and the government officials being shot and killed the day before, they suddenly panicked and ran towards the gate.
The government official wanted to close the door, but it was too late. For this raid, Zhao Jun even asked the soldiers to prepare ladders, just to break through the Kaifeng government office.
In an instant, soldiers poured into Kaifeng Mansion like a tide. Entering the gate is a huge square with countless pavilions and pavilions on the left and right, as well as artificial lakes. Towering trees can be seen everywhere, and various government offices and main government offices are there. Among these beautiful scenery.
Zhao Jun had made arrangements long before he came, and the people he wanted to arrest had clear goals. Kaifeng Mansion had one governor, two general magistrates, three magistrates, five magistrates, and twelve governors joining the army.
There is one judge to be arrested, three officials to be arrested, and eight government officials to join the army.
The remaining large and small Cao Cao, military envoys, left and right officials, left and right officials, officials, and government official affairs totaled one to two hundred people.
These are just the officials in Kaifeng Mansion. There are at least a thousand or so government servants below who are doing evil things such as Zhanban Zaoli, Zhanban Kuaishou, Zhuangban Minzhuang, etc. Unfortunately, we will arrest the King of Hell for the time being, and we will deal with the little devil later.
The soldiers broke into the Kaifeng government office and arrested people everywhere. They soon alerted Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Dingdu who was in the backyard.
"Fu Jun, it's not good, Fu Jun."
Liao Yu was working in the right hall. When he heard the noise outside, he went out to take a look. When he saw the wolf-like Imperial City Army, he immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ran to the backyard.
Ding Du was reading a book in the backyard. This man liked reading the most and didn't care about much. When he saw Liao Yu and more than a dozen other officials, ministers, advisors, and businessmen running over, he immediately said displeasedly: "What happened? Mao You are so irritable and so panicked in Kaifeng Mansion, it is really an insult to your gentleness!"
"Master Fu, people from the Imperial City Division are calling in."
Liao Yu gave Zhao Jun a big hat and said: "They are going to rebel."
"What?"
Ding Du was shocked, then he stood up and rolled his sleeves and said: "I gave Fan Xiwen a face. After listening to his words, I asked me to wait for a few days before making any arguments. I didn't expect Zhao Jun to be so rampant. Come with me to go out and have a look."
After saying that, he stormed towards the front yard.
At this moment, the Imperial City Division had surrounded the entire Kaifeng Mansion, and Liu Yuanzhi, Ma Yi, Gao Dingyi, and the judge who colluded with Han Yuan during the Fan Zhongyan period were also captured.
Logically speaking, judges are basically Jinshi-born, and they are migrant officials. They will serve for a year or two at most and then be sent to other places to serve as magistrates. They are unlikely to participate in such dirty things.
But Han Yuan couldn't resist the fact that Han Yuan gave him so much. The judge didn't do any bad things himself, but Han Yuan roped him into the gang and bribed him hundreds of thousands. So when Fan Zhongyan impeached Han Yuan, the judge wrote a letter to cover up and let Fan Zhongyan Deeply hating him, he caught evidence of Han Yuan's bribery.
When Ding Du arrived at Qianya, it was filled with soldiers from the Imperial City Division. More than a hundred officials, big and small, had been arrested. The remaining dozens of people were basically not in Kaifeng Mansion, but on duty outside. Zhao Jun had already sent another People went to catch them.
There was a cry in the front office. After Liu Yuanzhi, Ma Yi, Gao Ding and others were arrested, they were taken to Zhao Jun and cursed with all kinds of obscene words. They were beaten by Zhao Jun's left and right guards until their mouths were full of blood.
Seeing this scene, Ding Du was furious, rushed in and yelled: "Who is Zhao Jun!"
"I am!"
Zhao Jun turned his head, his eyes seeming to burst out with fire.
Ding Du shouted: "Zhao Jun, you arrested Li Dewen the day before yesterday. For Fan Xiwen's sake, I didn't go to the Imperial City Division to ask for someone. Today you dare to break into Kaifeng Mansion. Are you going to rebel?"
"hehe."
Zhao Jun was too lazy to talk nonsense with this idiot. He took out a stack of official documents from the arms of Wang He, the Imperial City Secretary next to him, threw it in Ding Du's face, and shouted: "You stupid official, this is Li Dewen's corruption and bribery for many years. Evidence of the crime of harming the people."
Ding Du felt insulted and said angrily: "Even so, it should be judged by me, Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple. What does it have to do with you?"
"What does it have to do with me?"
Zhao Jun threw another pile of official documents in his face: "This is evidence of Liu Yuanzhi's crimes against the people for many years."
"This is evidence that Ma Yi has harmed people for many years."
"This is evidence of Gaoding's crimes against the people for more than a decade."
"This is."
Zhao Jun threw more than ten official documents at Ding Du's face and angrily said, "Do you know how they colluded with the people in Wuyou Cave to harm the people?"
"I was patrolling the streets, and the people from Wuyoudong abducted their children. I caught them and handed the prisoners over to your Kaifeng government officials. Within two days, those people from Wuyoudong dared to come to the streets to retaliate against me!"
"They broke the children's hands and feet and forced them to beg on the streets. Did the Kaifeng government officials take care of them?"
"They beat the children till they were covered with bruises, then poured boiling water on the wounds, and then covered them with snake skins and monkey hairs to make human snakes and human monkeys performing tricks on the street. Did your Kaifeng government officials take care of that?"
"They abducted the women and forced them into prostitution. Not only did your Kaifeng government officials ignore them, they even came to do their business in person."
"Do you know what kind of person they make out of the girl? They chop off the limbs, put the girl in a two-foot-tall bottle, raise her, and display the wonder of the person in the bottle in the city."
"Don't think that these things have nothing to do with your Kaifeng Mansion. I brought a Wuyoudong branch this morning. Do you know how many letters and criminal evidence related to them were found in it? Just to bribe you for a reminder below. Spend thousands of dollars, thousands of dollars!"
"I tell you Dingdu, you are finished. I have printed all the things they committed into documents and spread them throughout Bianliang. By then, everyone in Bianliang will know how much filth there is under you, Dingdu, a foolish official!"
"You're done!"
Zhao Jun's saliva almost sprayed on Ding Du's face.
His eyes were red and he said viciously: "The entire Kaifeng Mansion has turned into a group of unscrupulous gangsters just because of your inaction and your support. If you want fame, I will give it to you!"
By the end of the sentence, Ding Du's eyes were completely blank and his whole body was trembling.
