The Imperial City Division, at this moment, in the hall of the Yamen, Zhao Jungao sat on the main seat.

Cao Xiu sat on the other side.

The guards of the Imperial City Division on the left and right lined up, and the commanders made Wang Ze, Wu Zhangruo, Zhong Bao, Gu Maozhi, and Chen Zhong and Wang He stand respectfully aside.

Kneeling below were Li Bin, Zhou Wenyan, Yu Ji and five commanders.

Zhao Jun looked down at the bottom, shook his head and said: "The five chief officers of the Imperial City Division, three of them rebelled, ten commanders, six of them, and among the five thousand people, except for the Praetorian Guard, which is the army is only on order, there are more than two thousand secret spies, more than six hundred, who secretly go to sell news, you people are really bold." ”

Next to him, Cao Xiu's face was not very good-looking.

As an envoy of the imperial city, the people below him rotted to the roots, which had a lot to do with his failure to clean up the moths in time.

But he couldn't help it.

The Imperial City Division did not have so much authority, and in the past, there was Wang Shilong, the deputy envoy of the Imperial City, who was constrained by him, and he could have two commanders and henchmen, and it would be good to have two or three hundred obedient inspectors, and it was impossible to manage the entire Imperial City Division of more than 5,000 people in an orderly manner.

And Li Bin, Zhou Wenyan and the others below were pale, no wonder when Zhao Jun talked to Li Dewen before, he said that he had already mastered the evidence of these people's crimes, but he was just finding out the moths in the imperial city.

Unexpectedly, the matter that the Zhiji asked them to investigate was originally a trap set by the Zhiji.

I'm afraid that these days, every move of the people under investigation is under the nose of the prefect, although they sent another person to talk to each other, and they did not take it personally, but their every move is afraid that they will be seen clearly.

This made the rest of the people except Cao Xiu's henchmen Wang Ze and Gu Maozhi secretly frightened, and Wu Zhangruo, Zhong Bao, Chen Zhong, Wang He and others were even more happy in their hearts.

When they saw that Zhao Jun disagreed with Wang Shilong and abolished Wang Shilong, they were afraid, although they wanted to resell the news to make money, but they hesitated again and again, and they still didn't dare to make any moves because of Zhao Jun's power.

Therefore, in the face of the task given by Zhao Jun, he did his best to complete it, although the things he checked were relatively superficial, but in just over ten days, it was already very good to be able to find these things, so Zhao Jun did not blame them.

At this moment, the eight people below are the middle and high-level of the Imperial City Division, all of them are like ashes, Zhao Jun said coldly: "You eight bastards, you have given you a chance but you are useless, let you go to check the details of the other party, but you should be a foreign enemy, and you should be punished for your crimes!" ”

Li Bin gritted his teeth and said: "Zhisi, the most we have to do is not good, and we have not been able to find out the evidence of their crimes, how can we say that we are in contact with foreign enemies and bad the authority of the Imperial City Division?" I'm afraid that there will be a small slander against us, so please know the division to investigate. ”

Zhao Jun smiled, threw down a booklet from the table, and said: "You don't admit guilt when you die, it doesn't matter, take a look at these booklets yourself, they all record how you have recently bought and sold news with each other, time, place, human evidence, and physical evidence." ”

Li Bin trembled and took the booklet, and when he turned two pages, he was already pale and paralyzed on the ground.

The rest of the people were also terrified, and some people still shouted to themselves: "Knowing the master and knowing the truth, someone must be framing us." ”

"Yes, we are loyal to Zhiji and will never dare to betray."

"Please also know the division."

They don't dare to quibble now, they can only say that they have been framed.

However, Zhao Jun said in a deep voice: "It's okay to deny, those henchmen of yours, those who should rebel have rebelled, and those who should have rebelled have rebelled, or think about how to explain honestly, otherwise, like Li Dewen, cut off one finger by one and drag it down!" The rules are waiting! ”

The state has national laws, and the family has family rules.

When the Imperial City Division was established, the rules had already been set.

After Zhao Jun took office, he made certain changes to the rules of the department, and naturally there was due treatment for the betrayer.

Soon there were guards who dragged the eight people down, letting them cry and beg, Zhao Jun was unmoved, the opportunity had already been given to them, but they didn't cherish it, so there was no way.

After disposing of the eight people, Zhao Jun looked around and said: "This time lure the snake out of the hole and find out the moths inside the Imperial City Division, but there are still some things to do, where is Wu Zhangruo?" ”

"Chiji."

Wu Zhangruo hurriedly stood up.

Zhao Jun said: "Liu Cheng is a stupid pig, stupid and bad, he took money from those people, and ignored my orders, and personally led people to Potai Temple, so as to give Kaifeng Mansion a handle, and you sent someone to arrest him for me." ”

"Yes."

Wu Zhangruo responded, and then was ordered to leave.

Then Zhao Jun said: "There are so many internal ghosts in the Imperial City Division, Cao Xiu is hard to blame, but if you are loyal, I will punish you for half a year." The list is here, the ones who should be caught, the ones who should be cleared, what I need is the iron plate of the Imperial City Division, not the crossflow of sewage! ”

Cao Xiu came out with a not very good-looking face and took the list given by Zhao Jun, and arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your great grace, your subordinates will definitely go all out." ”

His face was not good, and he didn't have a grudge against Zhao Jun's punishment.

But even he didn't expect that the Imperial City Division had become rotten like this.

As the eyes and ears of the official family, except for their own cronies and a few who can hold it, most of them have actually fallen.

The key is that there are more than 2,000 secret agents, and there are more than 600 people who have ideas.

If it weren't for the fact that Cao Xiu's cronies below each had three or five friends, who knew that Zhao Jun planned to come to Zhenge, and persuaded some people, I am afraid that most of the secret agents of the Imperial City Division would have to be caught by their own people first.

So in the face of such a situation, Cao Xiu's face was a little unbearable, and after getting the list, he greeted Wang Ze and Gu Maozhi, and left angrily.

The rest of Zhong Bao, Chen Zhong, Wang He and others were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, glad that they were timid before and didn't stand on the wrong team, otherwise I am afraid it would also be the fate of Li Bin, Zhou Wenyan, Yu Ji and others.

Zhao Jun looked around and said, "The task of the Imperial City Division is to clean up the night and return Bianliang to a sunny day. In the future, not only Bianliang, but also the entire Great Song Dynasty will be all over the eyes and ears of the officials. You do your part first, and soon the Imperial City Division will be on the right track. ”

"Yes."

Everyone was busy and gave up.

Then Zhao Jun took care of some other things before leaving.

At this moment, Kaifeng Mansion is already in chaos.

Li Dewen was suddenly arrested, and the rest of Liu Yuanzhi, Liao Yu, Zhang Pengfei, Zhan Wu and others panicked.

They never expected that Zhao Jun would be so discouraged from martial arts, and the seven-grade judicial army of Kaifeng Mansion would be arrested so directly, almost without taking Kaifeng Mansion in their eyes.

Everyone hurriedly gathered to discuss, and then at Liao Yu's suggestion, Liu Yuanzhi immediately took the lead to find the other two officials, Ma Yi and Gao Dingyi.

In the back room of the right hall of Kaifeng Mansion, incense was burning in the house, because they were afraid that the party outside would be discovered by the inspector of the Imperial City Division, so several people hid in the hall of Kaifeng Mansion, and the doors and windows were tightly closed.

Soon Ma Yi and Gao Dingyi were also invited over, because Kaifeng Mansion directly manages the entire Bianliang, and the government indirectly makes money through underground underworld forces, but there will definitely be times when the interests are unevenly distributed, so the factions of the two sides are different, and there are often internal disputes.

But now that the enemy is present, Liu Yuanzhi can't care about anything else, so he can only invite the other two to come over and discuss together.

Ma Yi and Gao Dingyi are also worried about the affairs of the Imperial City Division these days, and Zhao Jun is not only Liu Yuanzhi and these people, but also them and the people behind them, so they immediately agreed to Liu Yuanzhi and came over to discuss countermeasures.

Everyone sat in the house, Liu Yuanzhi looked around and said: "You also know the situation, Li Dewen is arrested now, although this guy is reckless, he also knows what to say and what not to say, so for the time being, we can rest assured for a few days, but after that, no one can guarantee whether the Imperial City Division will continue to arrest people again, think of a way." ”

"Who is this Zhao Jun sacred? It's really rampant, I have already told my brother that I will ask many colleagues in the Imperial History Observatory to write a letter of impeachment, and the official family must remove him, as long as this person does not have the power of the Imperial City Division, will he not be slaughtered by us at that time? ”

"Joke, if this person is so easily dismissed, why should we be so worried? These days, do you think the officials will pay attention to the slashes on the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Court? Obviously, there is no official meaning behind this, so let's think of something else. ”

"So what do you think you can do? This person suddenly started to arrest people, and Bianliang's Tiandu was about to be poked into a hole by him, but several ministers in the court were silent, only the Imperial History Observatory and the Imperial Court were impeached in the book, and even my brother felt that this matter was strange, so powerful, what else can you tell me? ”

Several people were at a loss.

Zhao Jun's action was tacitly approved by Zhao Zhen, and as long as Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and others went to participate in the imperial examination, they finally gritted their teeth and did not dare to stop him.

These people are insiders, and they know that there are too many disadvantages in the Great Song Dynasty today, so they don't have much luxury, they just hope to be able to keep the basic plate of the entire officialdom, as for some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they can give it up, it is better than Zhao Jun really getting rid of the entire officialdom.

And in the case that Zhao Jun had already told the future of the Song Dynasty, Lu Yijian and they didn't dare to make any moves.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty dared to fool the emperor like this, it was because the emperor did not directly control the military power, but the emperor of the Song Dynasty was different, and the 800,000 forbidden troops of Bianliang were firmly in his hands.

There are civil officials of the Song Dynasty who only dare to threaten the emperor, but they dare not really attack the emperor, so let's not say that these people are not so mad, there are still some honest officials in them, even if they are mad, they can only hold back.

The rest of Xia Zhu, Chen Yaozuo, Jia Changchao, Wang Gongchen, Zhang Dexiang, Chen Zhizhong, Liu Yuanyu, Li Zheng, Wang Deyong, Han Yi, Cheng Lin and other senior officials in the court, such as the Privy Council, the three provinces, the six ministries, the trial and punishment court, and the three divisions, also had different reactions.

Some people continue to write for impeachment, and some people choose not to do anything when they see that the wind is not right.

The most fierce of these were the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Palace, and when they saw that the three ministers and three counselors were inactive, they attacked the Imperial City Division, and at the same time began to impeach the prime minister, and flew to the political hall like snowflakes.

They fully validated the sentence.

If you don't attack the Imperial City Division, then we will attack you.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian have been very busy in the past few days, and on the one hand, they have to deal with the crazy attacks of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Academy, and on the other hand, they have to suppress everything and not drag Zhao Jun's side back.

That is, Zhao Jun drew a lot of pies for them during the time when he was blind, and he went crazy to everyone, and replaced others, I am afraid that he would have been masturbated a long time ago.

The current situation is that Zhao Jun did not follow the so-called procedural justice of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the imperial history platform and the imperial platform impeached someone for embezzlement, and then the emperor ordered an investigation and then deposed the official.

Instead, he took a different path, collecting criminal evidence directly from the people, and after having the criminal evidence, he directly took people, and there was no need to go to the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Court, which was so arrogant and rude, which frightened these officials and made them panic.

Liu Yuanzhi saw that everyone was in their hearts, so he said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry, yesterday there was a sect girl in Xuande Gate who was kidnapped, and the sect came to Kaifeng Mansion to report to the official, we said that now Bianliang City is under the control of the Imperial City Division, and the matter has been pushed to the head of the Imperial City Division." ”

"What's the use of that?"

Ma Yi frowned and said: "There are hundreds of missing Dingkou that are not found in Kaifeng Mansion every year, even if the daughter of the sect is missing, the official family is angry, and it will implicate our Kaifeng Mansion, they are not happy, are we better?" ”

The Imperial City Division only has patrols and listens, and the powers of arrest, interrogation, and trial that it has only recently have, are only additional powers. Unlike Kaifeng Mansion, there is an unshirkable responsibility for the security of Kaifeng Mansion, that is, the first person responsible. Now it's Kaifeng Mansion's own inaction, and it's still them who are unlucky to stab it.

Liu Yuanzhi said with a smile: "The disappearance of the sect girl is a big case, if the clan looks for the official family to make trouble, the official family will inevitably order us and the Imperial City Division to solve the case within a time limit." The Imperial City Division can't find anyone, if we can find it, wouldn't it prove that the Imperial City Division is a bunch of wine bags and rice bags? ”

"Oh?"

Ma Yi and Gao Ding glanced at each other, and they both understood a little bit in their hearts, and they had to sigh that Liu Yuanzhi was really bold, and even the daughter of the sect dared to start.

"But we can't count on this, if the official family is determined to support the Imperial City Division, I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat them."

Liao Yu pondered: "We have to think of another way. ”

"What's the solution?"

Zhan Wu asked.

Liao Yu thought about it and said: "This matter still has to be brought forward by Ding Fuyin." ”

"Fu Yin has also talked to you in the past few days, and he has also met with the official family several times and asked to take back the authority of the Imperial City Division, but the official family refused, what else can be done?"

Zhang Pengfei looked helpless.

The other party does not talk about martial arts and does not follow the normal process, and they have to ask the Yushitai and the Imperial Court to come forward to impeach according to the normal process, as long as the official family is guaranteed to die, they can't help Zhao Jun at all.

But Liao Yu showed a grim expression on his face, and said in a low voice: "The Imperial City Division took the Kaifeng Mansion Justice to join the army for no reason, and shot the Kaifeng Mansion officials with a bow and crossbow, Fu Yin can't sit idly by and ignore this matter, if the official family doesn't care, then Fu Yin should take care of it, don't you think?" ”

"Huh?"

Ma Yi became interested and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"If Fu Yin takes all the officials of Kaifeng Mansion to the Imperial City Division to dignitaries, do you think that the Imperial City Division will still shoot a bow and crossbow to kill people like before?"

Liao Yu looked around at everyone and said: "They don't dare, then let Fu Yin bring people back, the Imperial City Division has lost face and lost its prestige, and this Bianliang City is still under the management of our Kaifeng Prefecture." They dare, if a four-rank master dies in it, how big of a trouble should it be? The official family, can you still keep him? ”

After finishing speaking, Liao Yu's expression was full of gloom.

Everyone present pondered carefully, looked at each other, and couldn't help but look solemn.

Although this move is ruthless, if they don't want to follow Li Dewen's fate and be captured by the Imperial City Guards who suddenly broke in, then they can only do so.
