The chaos in Old Crow Lane lasted for more than an hour, and Li Dewen was dragged out like a dead dog.

He was accompanied by hundreds of thousands of dollars of money looted from his home, a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and several young girls of twelve or thirteen years old.

The reason why he chose to operate on Li Dewen first was that he was not cautious in doing things was the most important reason.

In fact, there is no shortage of women for Bianliang officials, whether they marry or go out to prostitution, there are ways. There is no need to imprison women in particular, which in itself can be problematic.

But since there was human trafficking in ancient times, there were naturally various needs.

For example, some officials have special habits, and they don't like the taste of Qinglou women, so they like young yellow flower girls, so it's not ordinary people who can get their hands on it.

Therefore, the use of underground underworld forces has become one of the common methods used by these magnates.

In the first year of Jing You, Fan Zhongyan was transferred to Kaifeng Mansion, and many families of abducted girls came to report the case.

Later, he cleaned up some tumors in Kaifeng Mansion, and had some capable people under his hands, so he slowly investigated that the matter was related to Han Yuan, Liu Yuanzhi, Ma Yi, Gao Dingyi and other Kaifeng Mansion officials.

It's just that at that time, although he knew Kaifeng Mansion, he belonged to the flow of officials, and the county officials were not as good as the current management, even if some tumors were cleared, there were still a lot of people below who violated the yang and yin, and it was almost impossible to take down the mastermind behind the scenes, so he could only investigate secretly, and he couldn't give the people a sunny day.

Now that Zhao Jun has used the knife of the Imperial City Division, Fan Zhongyan gave Zhao Jun everything he investigated, and Zhao Jun has these things as confidence, coupled with the mutual corroboration of the secret agents under the Imperial City Division, it is determined that Li Dewen has hidden many women in his home.

Catch thieves and take stolen goods, these money are nothing. The Song Dynasty has never had a huge amount of property from unknown sources, but these women almost inevitably wanted Li Dewen's life, as long as they confessed, let their families sue them, and they couldn't kill this Li Dewen.

At this moment, Zhao Jun is still sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, eating and drinking calmly.

The dishes were cold, Song Cai and the others didn't have the heart to move their chopsticks, they all looked outside in shock, and it wasn't until the people of the Imperial City Division escorted dozens of people up and down the Li Mansion to leave that they came back to their senses and sat back in their seats.

"Why don't you eat it? I'm almost done eating. ”

Zhao Jun wiped his mouth and said with a smile.

One of them shook his head and said, "The Imperial City Division is also too arrogant and domineering, and the judicial officers of Kaifeng Mansion joined the army and were arrested by them like this?" ”

"And they dare to use the forbidden army's bow and crossbow to kill people in the street, it's terrible. Tomorrow, I am afraid that the entire early dynasty will be turbulent, and countless officials will go to the bullet to impeach that Zhao Jun. ”

"I heard that this Li Dewen has always oppressed the good, and when the people go to complain, he has to collect money to do it, and the official reputation among the people is not very good, and it is not a bad thing for the Imperial City Division to arrest him, why do the ministers of the government and the opposition have to stand up for him?"

"Hehe, you don't know. Li Dewen's ancestor was out of the festival, so he can be the door shade, he has a cousin who is now in the state of Zhizhou in other places, and he has been an official before, and he has a lot of friends in the court. ”

"Then isn't this Zhao Jun going to be miserable?"

"Probably yes."

Several people were talking, and Song Cai saw that Zhao Jun didn't speak, and said curiously: "Brother Hanlong, I see that you have the protection of the forbidden army, isn't it from which family?" Do you know something? ”

And everybody looked at it.

Zhao Jun said with a smile: "I know something, this Li Dewen is not only accepting bribes, but also raising thugs and doing evil." There are worry-free caves and ghost fan buildings under Bianliang, you should have heard of it. ”

"Ugh."

Hearing this, one of them sighed and said: "I have a relative, just a poor man who does small business on the street, once the young son went out with him, and the careless kung fu man disappeared, and I heard the people around him say that it was a mother-in-law who abducted and was taken to Sanssouci Cave, and since then he has not seen anyone dead or dead." ”

"This Sanssouci Cave and Ghost Fan Building have to pay an unknown amount of money to Kaifeng Mansion every year, and Li Dewen is one of the participants. Moreover, he was fond of twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, and often let the people of Sanssouci Cave and Ghost Fan Tower kidnap girls for him to have fun. ”

After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he looked around at the crowd and said, "You say, such a person should not die." ”

After listening to this, several scholars were shocked, although Song Cai was more dish, but it was still righteous, and after listening to it, he said angrily: "I said that the Sanssouci Cave and the Ghost Fan Tower have been standing all these years, it turns out that there is the support of the government behind them, and it is not a pity for Li Dewen to die!" ”

"It's a pity, then Zhao Jun is still too reckless, it would be good if he collected evidence and reported it, now he will do it directly, and kill people on the street, I'm afraid the prime minister of the Manchu Dynasty will go crazy."

Someone sighed and shook his head.

They are local candidates in Bianliang, and their family background is naturally quite passable if they can study, but they are not rich second generations, but they are also well-off, so they naturally know some insiders.

The forbidden army sounds majestic, but when you walk on the street, you may be spit on and scolded as a thief with the army, and your status is actually very low.

Although Zhao Zhen gave the Imperial City Division the power to kill and kill, but the once low-status Imperial City Division Forbidden Army suddenly rose and killed the people of Kaifeng Mansion on the street.

This is not to protect that Li Dewen, but to suppress the forbidden army, after all, he dares to kill people today, who knows if he will dare to rebel tomorrow?

"Then tell me, what should Zhao Jun do now?"

Zhao Jun asked with a smile.

"This"

Everyone looked at each other, at most they knew the inside story, how could they know how the people above fought?

An older man asked, "Could it be that Brother Hanlong knows?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Jun smiled and nodded: "Because this matter will make a big fuss, so in order to block Youyou's mouth, Zhao Jun must act resolutely, immediately find out all the criminal evidence, come up with facts, and block the mouths of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty." ”

"It's a good idea, but they're hiding so deeply, can they find evidence of the crime?"

Song Cai asked.

Zhao Jun stood up and said with a smile: "I can find it." ”

I found it a long time ago.

Although Fan Zhongyan gave himself only the tip of the iceberg that he had found in the Kaifeng Mansion for a year and a half, he kept a lot of human and material evidence.

Now the delay is just Zhao Jun's attempt to clean up the portal.

"Chiji!"

Commander Wang, who was in charge of leading the team, hurried upstairs and said to Zhao Jun: "Li Dewen's house has been copied. ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Go and meet him." ”

Saying that, in the shocked eyes of Song Cai and the others, they left Qingfeng Building, leaving only everyone messy behind them.

Know. Chiji?

Song Cai and the others looked at each other, and they all shrunk their necks.

Boy.

Zhao Hanlong, who has a brother on his left and a virtuous brother, is the Zhisi of the Imperial City Division?

After leaving Qingfeng Tower, Zhao Jun did not stop directly and went to the Imperial City Division.

At this time, the Imperial City Division had already arrested a lot of people, and during this time, Kaifeng Mansion became indifferent, and the disputes on the street were basically handed over to the Imperial City Division Forbidden Army to deal with, and many cases went to Donghua Gate to shout grievances.

Yin Dingdu of Kaifeng Mansion was fooled by the people below, thinking that the Imperial City Division had robbed them of their right to handle the case, and they were making noise with Zhao Zhen all day these days, making the city now miserable.

Zhao Zhen also sent people to ask Zhao Jun several times, but Zhao Jun was sent away on the grounds that the time had not come, and he left the Gongyuan today to clear the Kaifeng tumor.

About an hour later, in the front of the palace behind the Imperial City Si Chengtian Gate, Zhao Jun saw Li Dewen.

The torture room is very dark, this is the army torture room that Zhao Jun borrowed through the relationship of the Cao family, there are all kinds of torture tools in it, because the Imperial City Division does not have the right to interrogate, naturally there is no master of torture, but there are people who can't stand him.

At this moment, Cao Xiu was standing aside, and there was a young man who looked like him next to him, looking at Zhao Jun.

This person is Cao Xiu's younger brother Cao Ren.

Cao Ren served in the front division of the palace, in charge of the office of the front division of the palace, and the 800,000 forbidden army in Bianliang often had people who broke the law and made trouble, and they were often brought here for punishment, and he naturally had people under him who were punished.

Zhao Jun looked at Li Dewen, Li Dewen was tied to the torture instrument, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, obviously when the Imperial City Division broke into his house before, the two sides clashed when he stopped him.

"Are you Zhao Jun?"

Li Dewen was dizzy from being beaten before, but he slowly recovered at this time, raised his head and saw Zhao Jun, and immediately guessed his identity.

Zhao Jun threw a document in his hand on the table next to him and said with a smile: "Li Dewen, explain it yourself." ”

"Phew!"

Li Dewen spat at him, but fortunately, Zhao Jun was a little far away and easily dodged.

"It's okay if you don't."

Zhao Jun looked at the information on the table and said: "In the first year of Tianxi, you got the shade of the door, became a government official, once drank, beat people to death on the street, and was later suppressed by your father." In the third year of Tianxi, you helped your friend settle a matter, and he gave you 500 yuan, and then you used this to blackmail him, and you had to have 4,500 yuan before and after. In the first year of Qianxing, you became a military inspector and met the people of Sanssouci Cave, and since then they have helped you catch young women for your fun."

As Zhao Jun told Li Dewen what he had done one by one, his face became extremely ugly.

The information records more than 20 cases of Li Dewen, large and small, he is not careful, and there are many things that can be found, although not all of them, but most of them.

Moreover, when Fan Zhongyan first investigated, he found a lot of human and physical evidence. For example, Li Dewen's friend was blackmailed and was about to go bankrupt, even if the previous case was exposed, he was willing to go to prison and was unwilling to be blackmailed by him.

Among them, the crime of accepting bribes is the lowest mistake, as well as the crime of homicide, arson and horse collision and injury to the people of Bianliang, usury forced the people's families to die, greedy for the public funds of Kaifeng Mansion, colluded with Wuwu Cave and Ghost Fan Lou to collect women's pleasures for him, opened gambling houses to extort money from the people, helped some rich and powerful people settle the case, so that the victims have nowhere to seek justice.

The content can be described as a bad record, and it is difficult to write.

Li Dewen listened to Zhao Jun read everything out, and interrupted loudly: "What's the use of you saying this? Do you have incriminating evidence? Don't think that if my father dies, I will have no one in the court, if you dare to arrest me, tomorrow the court will be full of civil and military affairs, and you will die without a place to be buried. ”

"Huh."

Zhao Jun sneered: "You better think about yourself first, who did you bribe?" Whoever is your umbrella, bring them all forth, so that they may not be sinned. ”

"Huh."

Li Dewen also sneered.

He is arrogant and imprudent, but he is not a fool.

How is it possible to provide an umbrella?

However, when Zhao Jun saw his appearance, he suddenly laughed: "Do you think that there is still someone who can save you, do you know?" You think you can survive because you think that some rules can be applied to me, thinking that I can be bound by these rules, but you don't know, I don't like this feeling of being constrained, so I don't have any worries about doing things, even if the Manchu princes impeach me? Is there anything they can do with me? I have all the evidence of Liu Zhiyuan, Ma Yi, Gao Dingyi and others in Kaifeng Mansion in my hands, but I didn't do it immediately, do you know why? ”

"Why?"

Li Dewen asked subconsciously.

"Because there are also a lot of moths inside the Imperial City Division, I deliberately put the news down just to get rid of these moths, so you are just the method I used to clean up the Imperial City Division. Do you think that our Imperial City Division doesn't dare to take people casually, but you don't know that if you don't talk about taking people, it doesn't matter if you are killed. ”

Zhao Jun smiled and said, "As long as I get all the evidence of your crimes and put the facts in front of those people, I can slap them in the face." Someone came, cut off one of his fingers, and he cut it slowly without saying a word. ”

"You dare!"

Li Dewen's eyes were torn.

The military execution room brought by Cao Ren around looked at each other one by one.

Although they are responsible for the forbidden military punishment for breaking the law, how can anyone come up and cut off people's fingers, didn't they all use whipping, military sticks, and the like before?

"No one is going?"

Zhao Jun coldly turned his head and glanced at everyone, Li Dewen's house, not to mention cutting off his fingers, just these years of killing people and setting fires, corrupting the law, abducting and selling women, Ling Chi is enough to be executed.

"Chiji."

Li Bin and others, who were in charge of official documents on weekdays, were also present, and Zhou Wenyan hesitated: "If there is no conclusive evidence, I am afraid of such a execution." ”

"There is a lot of evidence, Li Dewen is not careful, the victim's family just has no way to accuse him, it's not that they don't want to accuse, now I have given them a way, presumably there are more human and material evidence."

Zhao Jun patted Zhou Wenyan's shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry, your fingers may not be able to be saved later." Come on, arrest Li Bin, Zhou Wenyan, and Yu Ji. ”

"Chiji!"

The three of them were dumbfounded, and before they could react, they were held down by Di Qing and the others around them.

Then the commander Wang Ze came forward to escort the three of them away.

The rest of Wang He and Chen Zhong glanced at each other, and they were secretly frightened, guessing that Zhisi was afraid that he was going to move seriously.

"Ahh

At this moment, Liu Qing of the five-person team had already taken the torture instrument from the table, grabbed Li Dewen's fingers and cut it down.

The screams filled the entire front of the temple, and the prisoners in the surrounding cells were almost scared.

Zhao Jun said indifferently: "Li Dewen, no one can protect you." You're dead, but what your two sons have done isn't too much, if you want to keep a seed, or if you want someone to accompany you on Huangquan Road, you can confess to all the co-defendants. 1510, don't try to hide it, I know much better than you know. ”

Saying that, he didn't bother to deal with this person anymore, turned his head and left.

Now that we are officially getting started, we have to solve the problem quickly. Deal with the moths inside the Imperial City Division first, and then take action against the rest.

At that time, more than 70 officials were involved in the Zhao Jian case, and Song Zhenzong was furious and dealt with a lot.

But that's not enough.

Zhao Jun plans to take advantage of this time to poke a hole in Bianliang, which can be regarded as seeking justice for the people of Bianliang who have been brutalized by them over the years.
