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

Zhao Jun returned to the Imperial City Division. Arresting people was only the first thing to do, and there were many other things to deal with later.

For example, continue to collect evidence, find victims, and dig deeper for protection.

And so far, we have only caught some big fish from the list given by Fan Zhongyan, and have not yet caught a large number of minions and shrimps below.

Therefore, if we want to eliminate all evil, we must continue to work hard.

But on August 26, the third year of Jingyou's reign, it was a day of shock for the Manchu officials, the people of Bianliang, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Zhen went to court in the morning today, he had to resist the pressure of some censors and admonishers to help Zhao Jun block their attack.

As a result, he heard the news that the Kaifeng government office had been detained at noon, which almost made him faint.

At the end of the morning, Zhao Zhen was still reviewing memorials in the study room of Chongde Hall. Nowadays, people's livelihood across the country is not very good. Zhengshi Hall is busy with official duties every day, and he is also diligent in his duties.

Not long after the court ended in the morning, he heard that Zhao Jun led people to break into a Wuyoudong branch and arrested many people from Wuyoudong.

Cao Xiu had reported everything to him. After Zhao Zhen heard this, the first thing he was concerned about was Zhao Jun's fainting. Fortunately, the doctor diagnosed that it was just a temporary faint due to anger and nothing serious.

But even so, he immediately asked Wang Shouzhong to bring the imperial doctor there.

After receiving a report from Wang Shouzhong, he was relieved to know that Zhao Jun was fine.

Now Zhao Jun is much more important than him.

"Officials, Xiao Lang is obviously too angry about the things in Wuyou Cave, and he wants to immediately lead people to arrest the officials behind Wuyou Cave."

After Wang Shouzhong reported what happened to Zhao Zhen, he said, "I'm afraid we have taken action now."

Zhao Zhen held the imperial pen in his hand and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wang Shouzhong, do you think those people should be arrested?"

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't interfere in these matters, but I think so."

Wang Shouzhong said seriously: "He should be arrested, even killed!"

He also comes from a poor family.

"Um."

Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "Then let's catch him."

The thing that Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Wang Sui and other ministers were most worried about finally appeared.

Zhao Jun was too strong-willed and could not tolerate sand in his eyes. Before his eyes healed, he wanted to kill all the corrupt officials one by one.

Those people could only persuade Zhao Zhen, hoping to attract Zhao Jun to become an official through the imperial examination.

Zhao Zhen was a soft-hearted person, and he was also afraid that after Zhao Jun's eyes recovered, he would really start a massacre like he said when he was blind, so he agreed.

In the end, Zhao Jun agreed to accept the imperial examination, but he found another way, forcing Zhao Zhen to give the Imperial City Division the power of trial and the ability to review.

In addition, Fan Zhongyan gave him the things he had investigated when Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion, and after another trip to Wuyou Cave, he probably could no longer suppress the overwhelming murderous intention in his heart and took action against those behind the scenes.

Zhao Zhen has actually been paying attention to the whole process.

Although Cao Xiu obeyed Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun also agreed that he would report everything to Zhao Zhen, so Zhao Zhen knew everything.

Including those in Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Zhen didn't know what forces were behind them.

When Fan Zhongyan knew about Kaifeng Mansion, how many times had he written to impeach those people?

Isn't it just because Zhao Zhen protected the family of the Ma family, Han family and other high-ranking officials in the court?

Therefore, Zhao Zhen actually knows everything.

He's just pretending to be confused.

As long as the foundation of the Song Dynasty can be guaranteed to survive, it doesn't matter how corrupt the officials below are.

But today Zhao Jun is obviously going to lift the roof and demolish the dilapidated house he painted up. As for Zhao Zhen, he has no choice but to do it.

We can only let it happen.

By noon, the news came again.

Yan Wenying, the deputy governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, ran in in a panic and reported to Zhao Zhen: "The official family, something big has happened."

"What's wrong?"

"Zhao Jun, the Governor of the Imperial City, sent people to surround Kaifeng Mansion and arrested all the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, big and small."

"What?"

Zhao Zhen was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"

"Zhao Jun arrived at Kaifeng Mansion and went straight in. Anyone who stood in his way would be killed without mercy. Then he put the officials into prison cars and read out their charges in front of the people."

Yan Wenying said: "At least more than a hundred officials of the Kaifeng Prefecture, big and small, were arrested and taken to the Imperial City Office. Now the Royal City Imperial Guards are all over the streets arresting the officials of the Kaifeng Prefecture who are on duty outside, and are still searching their homes! "

"Zhao Jun is trying to turn Bianliang over!"

When Zhao Zhen heard this, his heart tightened and he almost fainted from anger.

Zhao Jun is too bold.

Zhao Zhen thought that at most he would arrest a few officials and raid the homes of a few guys like Li Dewen, but he didn't expect that they would just take over the Kaifeng Mansion.

This matter was really too big a fuss.

I am afraid that even if Kaifeng Mansion is restored in the future, the majesty will no longer exist. How will Kaifeng Mansion manage Bianliang in the future?

"Guan family, now is not the time to be angry. Now that Xiaolang has done what he has done, Yushitai and Jianyuan will definitely come to Zhazi. You should still think about how to stop those people."

Wang Shouzhong quickly persuaded.

Zhao Zhen sighed: "Oh, this grandson is so annoying."

Wang Shouzhong also smiled bitterly.

Surrounding Kaifeng Mansion is to break the sky in Bianliang.

At this time, someone else came in from outside and said: "Guan family, some of the husbands from the political hall want to see you."

"What is coming will come, let them in!"

Zhao Zhen touched his forehead, and then said to Wang Shouzhong: "Go and ask Zhao Jun to come over."

"yes."

Wang Shouzhong went to summon Zhao Jun.

After a while, Lu Yijian and others came in and saluted Zhao Zhen first, and Zhao Zhen asked them to sit down.

In Chongde Hall, Zhao Zhen sat high on the throne.

The gentlemen below sat on the chairs on the left and right sides respectively.

After everyone sat down, Vice Prime Minister Song Shou said: "Officials, Zhao Jun has surrounded the entire Kaifeng Mansion. I'm afraid the news has spread throughout Bianliang."

Zhao Zhen raised his forehead and said, "I already know about this."

"Guan family, what Zhao Jun did this time is too big. He wants to arrest everyone in Kaifeng Mansion."

"I'm afraid it will be tomorrow morning, oh, no, I'm afraid this afternoon, many censors and admonishers in the Yushitai and Jianyuan will go crazy, and countless memorials will flood into the political hall."

"Officials, go and persuade Zhao Jun. If this continues, the whole Bianliang will be in panic. Where will the majesty of Kaifeng Mansion be in the future?"

Several other prime ministers spoke to Zhao Zhen one after another, hoping that he could recall Zhao Jun back.

The impact of the siege on Kaifeng Mansion was really bad.

It was a slap in the face of Kaifeng Mansion and even the imperial court.

Zhao Zhenzheng felt a headache, and what the prime ministers said made it even more headache. By tomorrow morning, or maybe this afternoon, countless papers would pour on the desks of the prime ministers and him, all of them impeaching Zhao Jun. What should we do?

"Of course I know what you are worried about. Please wait a moment. I have already summoned Zhao Jun and asked him to explain this matter clearly."

Zhao Zhen hesitated and said, "But I'm afraid even if he comes, he still won't stop."

"this"

Everyone looked at each other. After spending so much time with Zhao Jun, they naturally knew the other person's temper.

Since he chose to take action, it must be because he was really angry. In anger, Zhao Jun would probably scold them again.

But this incident was so big that they killed many government officials, surrounded Kaifeng Mansion, and arrested more than a hundred officials from the ninth to sixth grades of Kaifeng Mansion.

Among them was a sixth-grade judge who was a Jinshi, which seriously threatened the safety of the scholar-bureaucrat class.

So they have to come forward.

"Just wait."

When Zhao Zhen saw this scene, he suddenly felt much better.

Because Zhao Jun would come over later to scold them. At least he was firmly on Zhao Jun's side, and he also gave Zhao Jun the power to arrest people.

He shouldn't scold me.

Zhao Jun was at the Imperial City Office at this time, very close to the palace, so it was not too slow to arrive.

Only half an hour later, he arrived at Chongde Hall.

When they came in and saw Lu Yijian and the others, they had probably guessed what was going on. The expressions on their faces were as cold as ice, and they looked at those people as if they were enemies. They no longer had the respect they had before.

"Official!"

After Zhao Jun came in, he bowed his hands politely to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen said: "Sit down."

"Thank you, Guanjia."

Zhao Jun sat at the end and didn't bother to say hello to these people.

Lu Yijian and the others looked at each other. Zhao Jun's attitude today was so abnormal. It seemed that he was indeed angry.

Zhao Zhen said: "My dear gentlemen, Zhao Jun is here. If you have anything to ask, you can ask."

As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup and pretended to take a sip. In fact, he narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone, observing the situation in the field.

The pot has been thrown out, let them fight, and have fun yourself.

"Ahem."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Yijian could only cough twice and said, "Young boy Jun, how can you be so confused?"

"Oh? Am I confused?"

Zhao Jun looked at him sideways and said, "I don't know where I am confused? Why don't Mr. Lu tell me?"

Lu Yijian smiled bitterly and said: "Boy Jun, don't speak so harshly. I just want to tell you that you were too impulsive in doing this. How could you surround Kaifeng Mansion and kill people in the Kaifeng Mansion?"

"oh."

Zhao Jun nodded and asked: "Then when you come here today, I want to ask you, are you here to plead for Kaifeng Mansion, or are you here to help me eliminate these cancers?"

This seems to force them to take a stand.

Everyone looked at each other, Wang Zeng coughed and said: "There are indeed some stubborn diseases in Kaifeng Mansion, but you still have to take care of them slowly. To arrest people so suddenly and arrest hundreds of officials at once, the impact is really great." too big."

"Some stubborn illness? In your eyes, just some stubborn illness? It seems that you are interceding on their behalf."

Zhao Jun looked around.

Lu Yijian said: "No matter what, this is too reckless. You should let him go now. Don't be so impulsive."

"Let him go?"

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Old Lutou, it turns out you are pretending to be confused with me. Aren't you related to the Han family and the Ma family? They are your father and you are so eager to help them. say?"

"Zhao Jun!"

Lu Yijian said angrily: "Can you say something nice? Don't curse people when you open your mouth!"

"Fuck you, sir."

Zhao Jun stood up, glaring at them and saying: "Don't pretend to be like this, I don't believe you are not behind this. Do you know how many people the Kaifeng Mansion colludes with the Wuyou Cave Guifan Tower gang harms every year? Do you know how they treat them?" Those poor people?"

"Forehead"

Seeing how angry Zhao Jun was, everyone looked at each other in shock.

This is the first time Zhao Jun has been so angry since his eyes recovered. What happened to him?

Zhao Zhen knew the situation. Seeing that everyone in the room was captured by his momentum, he broke the silence and said, "Then tell me what they did."

"I'm too lazy to tell them, Cao Xiu!"

Zhao Jun roared.

Cao Xiu outside the door heard the sound and walked in holding a vase.

Everyone's eyes turned to the door.

"boom!"

The teacup in Zhao Zhen's hand fell to the ground.

Lu Yijian and others opened their mouths.

His face was full of disbelief.

They see.

There's a head on that vase!

Even though Zhao Zhen already knew the situation from Cao Xiu, he still felt shuddering when he actually saw it.

Zhao Jun stood up from the chair, walked to Ping'er nonchalantly and said, "What's your name?"

"My name is Ping'er."

Ping'er still raised her innocent face, kept smiling, and answered with clear words.

Her smile seemed to have penetrated deep into her bones.

Because only by maintaining this smile every time she is taken out for an exhibition and facing the audience can she have something to eat and survive.

"Where is Ping'er from?"

"Ping'er doesn't know where he is from."

"Why are you in the bottle?"

"My mother-in-law said that Ping'er can only survive if she is kept in a bottle."

"Does the mother-in-law drink a bottle?"

"My mother-in-law is very good to Ping'er and never hits Ping'er."

"Do you remember your parents?"

"My mother-in-law is my parents."

"Cao Xiu, take Ping'er out."

Zhao Jun was already in tears.

Granny Cai has been caught. After interrogation, it was found that Ping'er was a child who was abducted since she was a child.

Because she was born thin, someone found that she was not suitable to be a prostitute but a person in a bottle, so they cut off her limbs and kept her in a bottle for six years.

Anyone who disobeys will be slapped. Only if they learn the speaking skills taught by Granny Cai can they earn a living.

Even if she is rescued, Ping'er will only say good things about Granny Cai.

Because once she failed to remember the words, not only would she be hungry when she returned, but she would also be beaten like crazy.

Zhao Jun didn't know exactly what Ping'er had experienced in the past six years.

He only knew that the current bottle had almost become a bottle that could only answer questions mechanically, kept that innocent smile, and would only blow on the door curtain occasionally when he was bored.

She was made into a bottle alive!

"Hehehehe."

After Cao Xiu took the bottle away, Zhao Jun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his head and asked them fiercely: "Come on, everyone, explain it to me. This is the prosperous age of your Song Dynasty, and this is the best thing under the emperor's feet. land?"

There was silence.

Zhao Jun continued: "According to the investigation of the Imperial City Division, Ping'er was a girl kidnapped by them six years ago. She was only five years old at the time. Because she was born thin, they cut off her limbs to make the man in the bottle."

"These words were taught to her by Granny Cai. If she says something incorrectly, she will be beaten brutally immediately."

"She is living in this small bottle now. Her total body is less than three feet. Once she leaves this bottle, she will die immediately."

"And there are at least seven or eight bottles like this in Wuyou Cave. Because it is not easy to make, and you will die if you are not careful, so over the years they have killed more than a hundred girls in order to make people in the bottles?"

"The man in the bottle is difficult to make, so there are few. But it is not difficult to make animals and little beggars. They break the legs of boys and girls. First, they prevent them from escaping. Second, they take advantage of the sympathy of the people and let them go around the city to beg for money. , all the money collected was taken away by the people from Wuyou Cave.”

"There are nearly 10,000 people in Wuyou Cave. I only destroyed one branch with less than 200 people. I rescued only more than 30 victims. Every year, hundreds of people suffer inhuman treatment here. Wuyou Dong and Guifanlou harm thousands of people every year, tell me, is this the Song Dynasty under your rule?"

At the end, Zhao Jun almost shouted at them.

No one spoke.

Everyone remained shocked and silent.

How could these superior husbands know about the filth underground?

They are not deceived.

But in their eyes, the life and death of these ordinary people has never been important.

"Lu Yijian, are you mute?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Jun became even more angry and roared at Lu Yijian: "The people supporting Wuyoudong are those beasts Liu Yuanzhi, Ma Yi and Gao Dingyi of Kaifeng Prefecture. Gao Dingyi is from the Han family." Man, Ma Yi is from the Ma family and is an in-law of yours. Can you please explain to me? Doesn’t it hurt your conscience to take all this money from killing people?”

"I haven't taken any of their money."

Lu Yijian's further words were all pale and weak at this time. He could only wriggle his lips and say: "You did a good job on this matter."

He did not take any money from the Ma family and the Han family, because compared to the Lu family, these two families were just poor relatives.

But it is undeniable that the Ma family and the Han family have both had prime ministers, so there is a marriage between the two families. This time Lu Yijian came over, except that Zhao Jun surrounded Kaifeng Mansion and went too far, just to give the two families The family begged for mercy.

But now it seems.

Let alone begging for mercy, it would be difficult for Lu Yijian to walk out of Chongde Hall intact under Zhao Jun's indiscriminate bombardment.

"Now that you know what I did, what did you do before?"

Zhao Jun sneered and said: "In the end, you guys are so superior, what does the life and death of the people at the bottom have to do with you? You guys have left a clear name in the historical materials, but in my opinion, you and the people below are There's no difference between those beasts."

"When the people are in trouble, you act as your officials. Now I finally come here to stand up for them, but you side with those beasts and want to stop me. Tell me, are you a group of people? ? A bunch of beasts?"

"I tell you, I scold you all lightly. I will go back tonight to sort out all the things those people did and send them to your mansion. Then I will record your relationship with them and compile it into a history book. I I want to use a computer to take pictures of your ugly faces, so that future generations will scold you for thousands of years.”

"I want people in the future to cast iron statues for you like they did to Qin Hui, kneel on the ground, dig out your graves, crush your corpses and scatter them into ashes! You bastards."

"I'm telling you, I'm very angry. I haven't felt comfortable killing those people in Kaifeng Mansion yet. No one related to them can escape."

"Now, tell me, do you still want to intercede for those people? Are you still going to come to trouble me?"

Zhao Jun finally roared.

This time.

He was really angry.

Seeing the appearance of Ping'er, I remembered Fan Zhongyan's saying that Ping'er is just one of the Ping'er, and there are many such wonders in Wuyou Cave and Ghost Fan Tower.

Now that there is no way to clear Wuyou Cave and Ghost Fan Tower immediately, let's clean up the dirt on the ground first.

As a result, King Lu Yijian Zeng and the others came over to plead with Kaifeng Mansion.

You really think you are a clay figure and you are not angry, right?

"well!"

Lu Yijian let out a long sigh, stood up and said: "This matter is because we failed to govern the Song Dynasty well, but I hope that you, Mr. Jun, can save some face for Kaifeng Mansion and that Kaifeng Mansion will not fall."

He didn't care about the threats in Zhao Jun's mouth. These people did like to clear their names, but they also knew that Zhao Jun was just talking angry words now.

In the final analysis, Zhao Jun was just angry that they came to plead for Kaifeng Mansion at this time, but what Kaifeng Mansion and Wuyou Cave Ghost Fanlou did had nothing to do with them.

If you do it, you do it; if you don't do it, you don't do it. Zhao Jun was angry at the moment, but based on their understanding of him, he wouldn't really fight them to the death.

This makes little sense.

After saying that, he bowed his hands to Zhao Zhen and walked backwards out of Chongde Hall.

The others had no choice but to withdraw one by one.

When they see nothing, they can naturally point fingers from a high position.

But now Zhao Jun has put a living example in front of them. If he continues to speak for the Kaifeng Mansion without conscience, he will really be asking for trouble.

But before leaving, Wang Zeng sighed and said to Zhao Jun: "Boy Jun, don't blame us, we are thinking about the overall situation. This is related to Kaifeng Mansion and the face of the court."

Soon everyone left.

Zhao Jun remained silent.

Sometimes these scholar-bureaucrats look nice, but sometimes, I really don’t know if they are a group of people.

It seemed like they had a schizophrenic look.

Zhao Zhen watched the whole process.

He looked at Zhao Jun, who was already red-eyed. He didn't know why, but he suddenly became afraid.

Just now Lu Yijian and the others bore the firepower, but now they are all gone.

Zhao Jun wouldn't be angry and start scolding me again.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but shrink his neck.

really.

Whatever you are worried about will come to you.

Then he saw Zhao Jun turning his head, looking at Zhao Zhen who said nothing, and shouted: "Why, you are so proud of Song Dynasty like this?"

Zhao Zhen's heart trembled and he covered his face with his sleeves.

now.

His face was already stiff.
