The Chazi of the Imperial City Division implied that there were three religions and nine streams, and there were even many like Ghost Fan Lou who were slaves in the homes of various officials, monitoring the movements of hundreds of officials.

As soon as Zhao Jun gave the order, naturally Chazi, who knew the underground society very well, volunteered to go to the ghost market.

In the early morning of the next day, after the end of the test, Lu Yijian and others came to urge him, hoping that he could continue to study seriously, Zhao Jun ignored it, went out of Mingdemen, and went to the outer city.

Kaifeng Prefecture transferred all the officials from the outer city back, but now the security in the outer city is much better, because all streets are patrolled by the Imperial City Guards, and those who fight and make trouble are all locked up in the military torture room in front of the palace, and now the torture room is overcrowded.

Zhao Jun left the inner city all the way and arrived near the Datong Gate in the outer city, today he has another matter, the Imperial City Division is now in tatters, and it is necessary to re-recruit people and expand the scale of the Imperial City Division.

At this moment, the vicinity of Datongmen has long been lively, because this is the most important channel trade distribution center in Bianliang, there are dozens of large warehouses around, there are wharves on both sides of the bridge, countless ships pour into the city along the Bianhe River, and workers on the wharf come and go to carry goods.

The water of the Bianhe River is slightly muddy, and the two- or three-story boats are densely moored on the wharf, and there is an endless stream of people selling breakfast, drinking morning tea, and shirtless, and there are even gambling houses, hook fences, and half-closed doors, which are specially designed to serve the workers.

A large number of workers waited on the docks, and from morning to evening, a steady stream of boats would pour into the Chase Gate, and all of them depended on them for food. Occasionally, you can see groups of three or five, hostile to each other.

In the crowd, a tall worker in his thirties sat quietly on the dockside waiting for the next ship to arrive, sitting or lying nearby, followed by seven or eight shirtless men.

Someone said something in Zhao Jun's ear, Zhao Jun nodded, pointed to the man in the distance and said to Di Qing: "You go and call that man over, just say that I have something to find him." ”

"Yes."

Di Qing walked over.

Then Zhao Jun entered a teahouse next to him and sat by the window on the second floor, and the surrounding soldiers also occupied their positions to protect him.

As soon as Di Qing came over here, the surrounding men suddenly became alert, and they got up from the ground one after another, faintly surrounding Di Qing in it.

Di Qingyi was not afraid, calmly walked to the man's side, lowered his head and said, "My Xiaolang has something to look for you." ”

The man turned his head and glanced at Di Qing's outfit, and said, "Where is your Xiaolang?" ”

"On the second floor of the teahouse over there."

"Okay."

The man got up and said, "I'll go with you." ”

He is not stupid, he can let the Gong Shengjun be a guard, he is definitely not an ordinary Yanei, this kind of person can't be provoked.

Soon the man followed him to the teahouse, Di Qing took him to Zhao Jun, and arched his hand: "Xiaolang, Jiang Dalang brought it over." ”

Jiang Dalang also arched his hand and said: "The villain Jiang Dashi has seen Xiaolang." ”

"Sit down."

Zhao Jun nodded.

Jiang Dalang hesitated slightly, sat down opposite him, and then bowed slightly and said, "I don't know what happened when Xiaolang called the villain?" ”

Zhao Jun said in a deep voice: "Your pair of children were abducted to Sanssouci Cave, I don't know how you used to find your son, but you broke a leg, and your daughter is still missing." There is no way to report to the government, do you want to take revenge? ”

“.”

Jiang Dalang's face changed dramatically at first, and then said, "I don't want to." ”

"My name is Zhao Jun, and I know the Imperial City Division."

Zhao Jun said with a smile: "The official family asked me to be in the Imperial City Division, because I know that there is darkness in Bianliang now, and I came to clear the darkness, so I have a grudge against Kaifeng Mansion, and I only arrested Li Dewen yesterday, you should have heard of this." ”

Jiang Dalang was silent.

Zhao Jun continued: "Dealing with Li Dewen is just picking grass and beating rabbits, my real purpose is to clear the moths inside the Imperial City Division, and then return Bianliang to a sunny day." Now my Imperial City Division is short of manpower, you are a victim of Kaifeng Mansion and Sanssouci Cave, join my Imperial City Division, I can let you take revenge. ”

"I'm joining!"

Jiang Dalang said without hesitation.

"A wise choice."

Zhao Jun laughed.

Kaifeng Prefecture has colluded with underground gangsters to run rampant in Bianliang for too long, and there are too many grievances that have nowhere to be told.

The Imperial City Division has now been cleaned up of a lot of moths and is short of manpower, so Zhao Jun plans to find the families of those victims and invite them to join the Imperial City Division and form the Avengers.

Compared with those ordinary chasers, these people are more motivated to investigate Kaifeng Mansion and Sanssouci Cave.

It's just that for the vast majority of ordinary people, the fear of Kaifeng Mansion and those underground gangsters is already deep in their bones, even if they put on the skin of the Imperial City Division, it is difficult to change their concepts all of a sudden.

So Zhao Jun is looking for either a timid man who has a deep hatred of blood and has been holding a breath of anger in his heart. Or find someone like Jiang Dalang, who has a lot of prestige and influence among the dock workers in Bianliang, and knows how much benefit joining the Imperial City Division can bring them.

"Don't hide it."

Jiang Dalang said: "I actually joined the Ghost Fan Building. ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Jun narrowed his eyes, he didn't hear Chazi who collected intelligence about this, and thought that Jiang Dalang should be doing things in secret.

I heard Jiang Dalang continue: "There are many clubs on the ground in Nancheng, and there is rampant filth, I offended the Old Knife Society at the beginning, and I was stumbled by them, and the people who found the worry-free cave took my children away when I was out of work. I found Kaifeng Mansion without a door, and then asked for help everywhere, and joined the ghost fan building under the recommendation of a brother, and the ghost fan building came forward to make twenty yuan to redeem my son, but my son has been broken by them, and the daughter is also sold to them I don't know where to go, so far there is no news. I hate them to the bone, but the old knife will be big and carefree, and I have no choice, if Zhiji can avenge me and find my daughter, the villain will go to the soup and die! ”

As he spoke, he got up and knelt down on one knee and kowtowed to Zhao Jun, acting in a bit of a military style.

"Get up."

Zhao Jun pondered for a moment and said, "Since you are from the Ghost Fan Building, can you meet the owner of the building?" ”

"The landlord has never seen anyone, and it is his left and right whips that give orders."

Jiang Dalang got up and shook his head.

"Can you help me find someone?"

"Who?"

"The loss of the family daughter outside the Xuande Gate should be the work of Ghost Fan Lou."

"This matter still needs to be investigated by the villain."

After Jiang Dalang hesitated for a moment, he said, "Zhisi, the villain has a reluctant request. ”

"Say it."

Zhao Jun didn't respond, just let Jiang Dalang say.

Jiang Dalang said: "The villain has a friend, and the four children were all kidnapped by the people of Sanssouci Cave, and after the villain's inquiry, those people were imprisoned in a branch of Sanssouci Cave, and asked for fifty yuan, where did my friend get so much money?" The villain doesn't have so much power to break in and rob people, and I want to ask if Zhiji can make a move? ”

"Do you know where to hold them?"

"Yes."

"Okay, take us around."

Zhao Jun didn't agree immediately, because he wasn't sure if Jiang Dalang was reliable.

Although the other party has a deep blood feud with Sanssouci Cave, people's hearts will change, in case he knows his identity, what kind of conspiracy does he want to use?

If it's a trap, it's likely to be dangerous.

But it is undeniable that this is an opportunity to go underground and see what is really going on inside.

The situation on the ground of Bianliang has been seen in a similar way, but the real evil is only the tip of the iceberg, all hidden underground, if you don't take a look, how can you find a way to deal with those people?

The only problem is their own safety.

Therefore, Zhao Jun planned to observe the periphery first, make sure that Jiang Dalang did not betray, and when the time comes, he will bring enough people to break into this Longtan tiger's den, it is really not possible, he can wait outside.

Jiang Dalang was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him again and again, and then Zhao Jun asked him to lead the way to see the place of the Sanssouci Cave branch.

The Song Dynasty did not prohibit associations, so there were many associations in the rivers and lakes, there was a difference between profit and non-profit, profit was like the tea shop formed by Tian Chang, which was called "group" and "line", and historical records recorded that Bianliang had "four hundred and fourteen lines".

Non-profit is the "society" and "society", the Song Dynasty notes "Tokyo Menghualu", "Fanshenglu", "Menglianglu", "Wulin Old Things", "Capital Jisheng" recorded the "society" and "meeting", there are all kinds of categories, all kinds of clubs, acting in miscellaneous dramas can form a "Crimson Society", squatting has "Qiyun Society", singing music has "Suppressing Cloud Society", like sumo wrestling "Kakuto Society", like crossbow shooting can form a "Championship Society", like tattoos and embroidery have "Brocade Society", make sticks have "Yingluo Society", storytellers have "Eloquence Society", There are "Painted Leather Society" for shadow puppet plays, "Hair Cleaning Society" for shaving heads, "Cloud Machine Society" for tricksters, "Life Release Society" for those who love charity, "Poetry Society" for those who write poems, and even prostitutes can set up a "Cuijin Society".

And the most in the city is the underworld, these underworld and the gutter rats under the ground are inextricably linked, Jiang Dalang himself has a small community, there are more than 20 people in it, all of them are dock workers, so it can be regarded as a small force.

It's a pity that compared with the behemoths of Sanssouci Cave and Ghost Fan Tower, Jiang Dalang is completely understaffed, and he is almost powerless in the face of the hatred of Sanssouci Cave.

Now that he was on the thigh of the Imperial City Division, Jiang Dalang was very excited and took Zhao Jun to the Sanssouci Cave Branch.

After the Datong Gate, you will arrive near the Biandi outside the city, the Bianliang waterway is developed, and there are countless open channels and culverts, so a huge sewer system has been derived, and one of the branches of Sanssouci Cave is near the Biandi, which can directly lead to the outer city.

Under the leadership of Jiang Dalang, Zhao Jun and others arrived near the root of the outer city wall in the east of the Biandi, and walked along the side of the road from the root of the city wall, outside is the Bianqu moat, the grass and trees on the bank are vigorous, the greenery covers the sky, there are few pedestrians, and you can vaguely see that a grass house is built on the front side, and there are seven or eight men sitting in the grass house.

Seeing someone coming, these men all showed vigilant eyes. At this moment, Zhao Jun and the others also changed their costumes, Di Qing put on a mask to cover the identity of the Gong Shengjun, and the rest of them were also wearing coarse cloth shirts, pretending to be ordinary people.

After Jiang Dalang arrived, he first hugged their fists, and then said: "Jiang Dalang, the yellow pole of a certain ghost Fan Building, is still the last time, please see Liu Huitou." ”

These underground societies are clearly hierarchical, there are sticks, whips, and knives that act as thugs, there are eagle brothers who act as watchouts, there are abductors who specialize in abducting and selling women and children, and there are people who steal things.

When those people saw that Jiang Dalang was menacing, counting the twenty or thirty guards brought by Zhao Jun and Jiang Dalang's brothers, there must be forty or fifty people, and they didn't dare to clash, so they said, "Okay, you wait here." ”

After saying that, someone climbed down from the embankment behind the grass house, Zhao Jun glanced at it, and found that he just went down to the shore and broke through the sheltered grass and got in.

Apparently this is the entrance to a Sanssouci Cave.

After a while, the man quickly came back and said to Jiang Dalang, "Only you are allowed to enter." ”

Jiang Dalang smiled: "I have to bring twenty people, what's the matter, Liu Huitou is afraid?" ”

"Okay, just twenty people."

The man didn't say anything.

Although it is brave to go to the meeting alone, not everyone is Emperor Guan. Therefore, the rules of the rivers and lakes generally allow the other party to bring some people, and there will be more than 100 people in this branch of Sanssouci Cave, but they are not afraid.

Zhao Jun asked his guards to follow Jiang Dalang in and investigate the situation inside.

Jiang Dalang took people down to the shore and followed the people from Sanssouci Cave into the cave, and the two sides didn't know what they were negotiating, and it took half an hour before he came out again and left without saying a word.

The group went to the dock again, this is Jiang Dalang's territory, and when they arrived in the courtyard of Jiang Dalang's house, the tail that was following behind them couldn't come over, so they could speak.

"Chiji."

One of the guards who followed down blushed and said, "This Sanssouci Cave is too rampant. ”

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Jun frowned.

Dutou said: "Below is the passage of the Bianliang canal, there are about dozens of people in the Sanssouci Cave during the entrenchment, there are a lot of dungeons, grottoes, and dwellings dug in it, the smell is unpleasant, and the subordinates pass along the way, and see the scene miserable. ”

"Let's talk about it."

Zhao Jun sat on the chair, although he did not go down in person this time, he was already prepared.

After all the heads finished speaking, Zhao Jun's face had already become ugly.

Even if he was prepared in his heart, he was also angry by this scene, and there seemed to be a breath in his heart that he couldn't get out, and he said after half a sound: "Such a hell on earth, I will definitely clear it up, Jiang Dalang, you can meet that Liu Huitou tomorrow." ”

"Yes."

Jiang Dalang was also sulking originally, but this time he was overjoyed.

In addition to the salvation of the children of friends, more importantly, the revenge of one's own children must also be avenged.

But Zhao Jun was full of anger in his heart.

Bianliang has become like this, and those people in the court have an unshirkable responsibility.

Sanssouci Cave and Ghost Fan Lou plagued the people, and the money was paid tribute to Kaifeng Mansion, and Kaifeng Mansion turned a blind eye to them.

Kaifeng Mansion then put the money into the pockets of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, and the people above naturally protected the moths of Kaifeng Mansion.

In this way, layers of cover-up and layer upon layer of bribery, from top to bottom, have formed a complete criminal interest.

But in the end, it was the people at the bottom of Bianliang who suffered.

Zhao Jun swore that in addition to the cancer in Kaifeng Mansion, and then dig up the gutter rats below, it is necessary to take out the intestines of those Manchu princes to wash and dry, and see how dark their hearts are!
