In the Song Dynasty, there was no law or order.

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. , I’ve asked the guards to catch him.”

"Um."

Zhao Jun just responded and seemed to have not come back to his senses.

At this time, several more people came in from the door, led by the eunuch Wang Shouzhong, the leader 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 for the clan daughter's matter." If he knocks it off, his subordinates will.”

"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 annihilated, 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 forces such as Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower, 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?

"Calling 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, including 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.

Kaifeng Prefecture is not far from Qingtai Street. It is located in the Shangshu Province in the southwest corner of the dynasty. It was originally located in the northwest of Junyi Bridge Street, south of the Bian River, and next to the Censorate. Since Zhao Guangyi had been the prefect of Kaifeng, he moved Kaifeng Prefecture to the Shangshu Province after he became emperor.

After the Shangshu Province was decentralized, it was basically left with an empty shell. It covers an area of ​​more than 300 acres, with a large area and many buildings. The periphery is like a small city.

The inner room is centered on the prefecture gate, ceremonial gate, main hall, meeting hall, and Plum Blossom Hall, supplemented by the left and right halls, Tianqing Temple, Mingliyuan, Qianlong Palace, Qingxin Tower, Prison, Yingwu Tower, Yin Hotel and more than 50 large and small halls and buildings, forming this huge institution.

Zhao Jun has been to Kaifeng Prefecture several times, and he was shocked by the buildings here every time. Compared with his imperial city office, they are like towering palaces, while his side is like a shabby thatched house.

More than 2,000 Imperial City Guards rushed to Xijiaolou Street. The wide street was in chaos with the arrival of the guards.

The people setting up stalls, strolling, walking in the alleys, and selling goods on the street avoided them as if they were avoiding the plague god. When the guards left, the street was already in a mess. People were curious about what the Imperial City Guards were doing again, and many people followed them bravely.

Soon when they arrived at Xijiaolou Street, the Imperial City Guards were 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 was open, and there was a long queue at the door. If the people of Bianliang wanted to report to the officials, they had to register at the door. After registration, Kaifeng government would not work immediately, but would look at how much money you spent.

Although Kaifeng government has recently pushed all the cases to the Imperial City Division, after all, Kaifeng government has been powerful in Bianliang for a long time, and the people only know Kaifeng government but not the Imperial City Division, so there are still a large number of people reporting to the officials.

"It's bad, it's bad."

Just when the yamen runners at the gate were bored and doing registration and asking people for money, a fast horse came galloping and stopped at the gate of Kaifeng Prefecture.

A leader of the Kaifeng Prefecture Express Team jumped off the horse in a hurry and shouted at the gate of the yamen.

A prefectural official in charge of registration at the gate of the yamen rolled his eyes and said, "What are you yelling about? What happened in broad daylight?"

The leader rushed to the steps and pointed to the back and said anxiously, "The Imperial City Guards are coming to our yamen."

"Oh?"

The prefectural official was puzzled at first, and then said, "Maybe they are just passing by."

Xijiaolou Street is located in the southwest corner of the dynasty, connecting the west and south of the city. If the people of the Imperial City want to go to the south of the city, they must pass by here.

But the problem is that the Imperial City Department's office is located in the east of the city. It is said that the Imperial City Department's director Zhao Jun lives in the west of the city. Does it mean that the Imperial City Department first gathers people from the east of the city and then goes to the south of the city from the west? Wouldn't this be too roundabout?

Before the official in charge of the prefecture could figure out this problem, the sound of "dong dong dong dong" footsteps came from the wide street, and then a large number of the Imperial City Department's guards appeared in sight.

"Go report to the prefect first."

Someone said.

"Go."

The official in charge of the prefecture looked at the Imperial City Department's guards outside with vigilance.

He did not order the closure of the Kaifeng Prefecture gate because the Song Dynasty had been established for more than 70 years, and no one had ever dared to attack Kaifeng Prefecture.

You must know that Taizong was the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, so Kaifeng Prefecture had a special status in the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this moment, the people queuing outside Kaifeng Prefecture had realized that something was wrong, and they all moved a little further away, looking forward to it.

Zhao Jun stepped out of the crowd and walked to the front. He raised the token in his hand and said to the people behind him: "Kaifeng Prefecture is a place of corruption and filth. The Imperial City Division has been ordered to arrest the wanted criminals. Do you know who you should arrest?"

"Yes!"

The commanders behind him shouted loudly.

Zhao Jun said coldly: "Go in, and those who dare to stop us will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xiu drew the knife from his waist and shouted angrily: "Go in, and those who dare to stop us will be killed without mercy!"

"Kill!"

The Imperial City Division's imperial guards were the troops transferred down, and they burst out with a terrifying murderous intent and rushed to the gate of Kaifeng Prefecture.

The yamen runners at the door realized that the Imperial City Division was serious. Thinking of the arrest of Li Dewen the day before and the shooting of yamen runners, they were immediately panicked and ran to the gate of the mansion.

The official in the prefecture wanted to close the gate, but it was too late. For this surprise attack, Zhao Jun even asked the soldiers to prepare ladders to break through the Kaifeng Prefecture Yamen.

In an instant, the soldiers poured into Kaifeng Prefecture like a tide. Entering the gate of the prefecture is a huge square, with countless pavilions and towers on the left and right, as well as artificial lakes and towering trees everywhere. The various prefecture halls and the main halls are located between these beautiful scenery.

Zhao Jun had made arrangements before coming. He had clear targets for the people he wanted to catch. Kaifeng Prefecture has a prefect, two Tongpans, three judges, five prosecutors, and twelve prefectural court officers.

There is one judge to be caught, three prosecutors to be caught, and eight prefectural court officers.

The rest of the big and small Caos, military patrols, left and right public affairs, left and right hooks, supervisors, and prefectural officials, totaling one or two hundred people.

These are just the officials in Kaifeng Prefecture. There are at least more than a thousand yamen runners who do evil things, such as the station guards, the arresting squads, the strong squads, and the militia. It's a pity that the King of Hell should be caught first, and the little ghosts will be dealt with later.

The soldiers rushed into the Kaifeng government office and arrested people everywhere, which soon alarmed Ding Du, the prefect of Kaifeng, who was in the backyard.

"My Lord, this is bad, my Lord."

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 in the backyard. This man liked reading the most and had few affairs. When he saw Liao Yu and more than a dozen other officials, ministers, advisors, and businessmen running over to him, he immediately said displeasedly, "What's going on?" You are so irritable and so panicked in Kaifeng Mansion, it is really insulting 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 and 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.

It stands to reason that 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 Hateful, 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 The man went to arrest him.

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 seemed 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 harming 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 of Ma Yi's crimes against the 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 in one go, 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 kidnapped the girls 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.
