Cai Jing waited for Zhao Xu to finish hooking, and after answering, he picked up a piece of paper, quit the vertical arch hall, and went to the tile house not far away to find Zhang Dun.

Zhao Xu looked at his back, his chest seemed to explode, and he was still angry!

His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he wanted to kill these people immediately, slammed his fist on the table, and said in a deep voice: "All such officials, can they not lose the country?!" ”

Chen Pi listened to the heartbeat wildly, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Dead country, this is not something that can be said casually!

At this time, Cai Jing arrived in front of the cyan tile house, took a look, paused for a moment, and then went in.

He gave Zhang Xuan a salute with an expressionless face, and handed over the confession and the list of Zhao Xugou.

Zhang Dian sat on the chair with a stern expression, and looked at Cai Jing with a cold look in his eyes: "Why aren't there any people on my list?" ”

Cai Jing did not bow down, nor did he have any respect, his tone was very calm, and he said, "There is no evidence." ”

Zhang Dian stared at him, the coldness in his eyes deepened, and then he said lightly: "The Privy Council will do all the strategies, group exercises, and observation envoys, and the Criminal Department shall not interfere with it." ”

Cai Jing raised his hand and said, "Yes." The lower official retired. ”

After saying that, he didn't look at his younger brother Cai Bian not far away, and left here straight - he had a lot of things to do.

Cai Bian watched Cai Jing leave, his brows just furrowed, and he continued to do things - the most important thing for him and Zhang Dian at the moment was to sort out the court situation and fill the personnel gaps left by the cases of Lu Dafang and Su Zhe.

Zhang Dian glanced at Cai Bian with an indifferent expression.

He hates Cai Jing, and he doesn't even like Cai Bian, even if this person is Wang Anshi's son-in-law!

Having also served as the Privy Councillor and had replaced Su Song in charge of the Privy Council, he pondered again and again and got up to go to the Privy Council.

If you want to clean up these people who hold military power, you have to use some means, and you can't be as open and closed as the civil officials in the capital.

Cai Bian turned a blind eye.

Cai Jing left the palace and did not return to the criminal department as soon as possible, but found his son Cai You.

Cai Jing didn't know what Cai You had done, as before, with the majesty of his father, he said: "Your Majesty has approved it, you will arrest this list, and I will take the rest." ”

Cai You took the list and looked at it, and found that some of them were his father's old enemies, and quietly glanced at Cai Jing, Cai You said quietly: "Okay, I'll go back and prepare manpower, and then let the inspection department seal the city gate, no one can escape!" ”

Cai Jing seemed to look at Cai You with some surprise, and when he came back this time, he felt that this son seemed to be a little different, sometimes he had special ideas, and occasionally dodged.

Cai Jing only thought that he had grown, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, it must be over before tomorrow morning, and it will be resolved quickly!" ”

Cai You replied with a smile and said, "The child will go." ”

Cai Jing snorted, thought in his heart, and went to the Criminal Department.

He couldn't have imagined that he thought that Changjin's son did not return to the Imperial City Division immediately, but went to the palace.

The Criminal Department and the Imperial City Division, in less than half an hour later, poured out, the officials of the Criminal Department, the guards of the Imperial City Division, and the help of the Kaifeng Prefecture Inspection Division, there were six or seven hundred people, full of Kaifeng City's arrests, closures, raids, and recovery of stolen goods.

Xiezhong Doctor's House.

Shang Tong was dragged by the officials of the Criminal Department with a pale face, and explained left and right: "Listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation, I didn't participate in those corruptions, my money is all from Yulu......"

The official of the criminal department dragged him out of the house and did not listen to his explanation at all.

Behind him, a large group of women, children, and families cried out in panic.

Guozijian.

The sacrificial wine was full of iron, and he tried his best to resist the guards of the Imperial City Division, and said angrily: "I am the national prince of the country canonized by the Empress Dowager, why do you take me!" You're in chaos! ”

The teachers and students of Guozijian were terrified, and they stepped forward to stop them, but they were forcibly pushed away by the guards.

Honglu Temple.

The huge Honglu Temple was surrounded by Nan Tianyou and others, and then it was a comprehensive arrest and search.

Honglu Temple Siqing, Shaoqing and others, almost all of them were detained, and the officials at all levels of Honglu Temple were detained in the courtyard, the treasury, and the rooms, all of which were sealed and cleaned up!

The ordnance prison and the officials of the criminal department are like wolves and tigers, arresting people and searching account books, all in one go.

The prison of the Imperial City Division and the prison of the Criminal Department quickly filled, and they had to borrow the internal prisons of Kaifeng Mansion, Dali Temple, and even other yamen.

With such a big move by the Imperial City Division and the Criminal Department, Kaifeng City was like an earthquake, shaking I don't know how many people.

On the streets of Kaifeng City, it was overcrowded when it was getting dark. Countless people are begging for advice, asking for news, and dredge up relationships, like headless flies, bumping everywhere.

Fan Bailu and Fan Chunren couldn't sit still, they wanted to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager Gao for the first time, but the imperial guards didn't even pass it. then wanted to see Zhao Xu, but was also scolded by the doorman.

The two of them were helpless, so they could only go to Su Song.

Su Song was in the mansion at this time, sitting in the pavilion, listening to the cries outside, stiff as a sculpture, indifferent.

After a while, the butler came over and said in a low voice: "Lord, the two Fan Xianggongs are here, at the back door." ”

Su Song seemed to have a reaction at this time, picked up the tea that had already been cold for a long time, took a sip, and said, "Just say that I slept." ”

The butler looked up at the outside, listened to the increasingly noisy voice, and said, "The two Fan Xianggong said that the lord will not leave if he doesn't see them." ”

Su Song took a sip of tea, got up slowly, and said, "If you don't go, don't go, I'll go to sleep." ”

The housekeeper looked puzzled, although the lord of his family was unwilling to wade into troubled waters in the past, how could he not stand by and watch when encountering such a major event.

Su Song didn't say anything, and really went to sleep.

Fan Chunren and Fan Bailu were at the back door of Su Mansion, listening to the housekeeper's reply, the two frowned and pondered for a long time, and suddenly looked at each other again, both of them read something from each other's eyes.

The two were silent for a while, and then left together.

After walking for I don't know how long, the two looked up, looked at the half-hidden moon, and sighed in unison.

Fan Bailu put his hands behind his back and said with a stunned expression: "Once the son of heaven and a courtier, after tonight, the official family will really be pro-government." ”

Fan Chunren stared at the moonlight and said, "Su Song can see farther than us, and he can see clearly, such a big movement...... It seems that the official family is unwilling to let go of Lu Dafang. ”

Fan Bailu didn't know what it was like in his heart, and he had a more or less sad feeling of the dead rabbit and fox, and said: "From this point of view, the resentment of the official family towards Lu Dafang has reached the bone, and tonight, no one can sleep in peace." ”

Fan Chunren seemed to wake up, glanced at him, and said, "Pillow? Look at it, I feel like there will be countless heads on the ground. ”

Fan Bailu was silent.

If it was in the past, he still didn't believe that even if the official family had resentment in his heart, there would always be room for proportion. But judging from today's actions, the hatred of this official is definitely not small!

Fan Bailu was silent, and Fan Chunren didn't know what to say.

They were all courtiers, especially the courtiers of the 'former dynasty' - the road was narrow.

Inside the Cining Temple.

Empress Dowager Gao listened to the steady stream of reports, sat on the chair, and was stunned.

Zhou He stood in front of her with a cold neck and a slight tremor in his shoulders.

From the news he got, the Criminal Department and the Imperial City Department have arrested more than 40 officials above the fifth grade, plus Lu Dafang and others before, it has reached more than 60!

The three provinces, six departments and seven temples, the Imperial Historical Tower, the Privy Council, and the three divisions of the Yamen have all escaped!

This is still known for the time being!

Where is this investigation, it is clearly a big purge!
