Chapter Ninety-Nine: Siege of Kaifeng Mansion

More than an hour after Zhao Jun woke up, he was lying in his home, surrounded by Cao Xiu, Diqing and others.

"Chiji."

When they saw him get up from his bed, they gathered around him.

Zhao Jun just straightened up, leaned against the head of the bed, looked ahead with somewhat hollow eyes, and did not speak.

Cao Xiu knew that today's incident might have a great impact on him, so he hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Zhisi, all the people have been arrested, and twenty-three who resisted have been killed, and the rest have not run away." ”

"What about the victims?"

Zhao Jun didn't care too much about those people in the Sanssouci Cave, and dying on the spot was their best relief.

"It's been properly settled."

Cao Xiu replied: "There are thirty-one people, and there are not so many government offices in the Imperial City Division, so I found a friend to borrow his house to settle down first, and sent someone to guard it." ”

"Have you hired a doctor?"

"Please."

"Can the bottle be saved?"

"It can't be saved."

"Why?"

"She was kept in a bottle since she was a child, and there was a switch under the bottle to excrete, and her body was curled up and extremely fragile, and if she forcibly opened the bottle, she might die."

"Is that so?"

Zhao Jun muttered to himself, and then said, "What mother-in-law?" ”

Cao Xiu said: "There is a group of mothers-in-law in Sanssouci Cave, but these people are all daytime activities, either to abduct other people's daughters, or to be matchmakers, Ya women and other businesses, doing the business of taking the lead in setting up wires, they all live outside, and they have been arrested by the guards." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Jun just responded, and still didn't seem to come back to his senses.

At this time, a few more people came in from outside the door, led by Wang Shouzhong, the chief eunuch of the Inner Service Province.

Wang Shouzhong saw Zhao Jun's unyielding appearance, so he hurriedly walked over with low eyebrows and said, "Xiaolang, how is it?" When the official family learned that Xiaolang had fainted, they were very worried and sent the imperial doctor over. ”

"It's fine."

Zhao Jun waved his hand, and suddenly felt that life was really boring, and said to Wang Shouzhong: "You report what should be reported to the official family, I am going to kill some people, and I will knock Liao Yu's teeth down one by one about that sect girl, if he doesn't say it, his subordinates will also say it." ”

"Yes."

Wang Shouzhong actually knew something, so he lowered his head and left silently.

Zhao Jun got up from the bed, nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

"Xiaolang."

Di Qing, an iron man, was still full of resentment at the moment, and said: "If you want to destroy the Sanssouci Cave, please Xiaolang must let me go." ”

"Well, don't worry."

Zhao Jun reluctantly smiled and said: "I will deal with the matter of Sanssouci Cave later, first clean up the dirt on the ground, and then start to deal with the underground." ”

Although he was angry to the extreme, he did not lose his mind.

According to Chazi's report, there are thousands of people in Sanssouci Cave, there are more than 20 branches, and the power is huge, and it occupies the criss-crossing underground waterways, which is extremely difficult to clean.

In history, Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng did not launch a siege on Sanssouci Cave, Ghost Fan Lou and other forces, but every time they went in, they were blocked back, and they could not be cleared at all.

It was not until the Yuan Dynasty relied on the Mongols to forcibly irrigate the entire dungeon and submerged it, which completely destroyed the Sanssouci Cave and the Ghost Fan Tower.

From here, it can be seen that it is definitely not a simple matter to deal with this cancer.

And in order to truly solve this problem, in addition to the Imperial City Division, it is necessary to unite Kaifeng Mansion, Dali Temple, and even the power of the forbidden army to be completely realized.

But now Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple may become a constraint, so Zhao Jun must clean up these things that are holding back, otherwise once these people report to the rats below and tell the other party about the actions of the Imperial City Division, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Moreover, Kaifeng Mansion itself is the umbrella of the underground underworld forces such as Sanssouci Cave and Ghost Fan Tower, these people are easy to deal with on the surface, and they also have their crimes in their hands, who will they deal with if they don't deal with them first?

"Gather the Imperial City Division's Praetorian Guard!"

"Zhiji, please let me go back to the front of the palace to dispatch troops and horses!"

"Go, according to the original plan, take people, raid homes, where are those people now?"

"At this time, they are all in Kaifeng Mansion."

"Surround Kaifeng Mansion."

"Yes!"

Cao Xiu, Di Qing and others responded one by one.

Zhao Jun personally led the team and walked out of Qingtai Street, and a team of Imperial City Division Guards appeared behind him.

The power of Kaifeng Mansion is actually not weak, including Kaifeng, Xiangfu two Chi County, Zhanban Soap Li, Capture Ban Kuaishou, Zhuang Ban Minzhuang and other officials also have thousands of people, plus the Imperial City Division and Dali Temple, jointly maintain the security of Bianliang.

It's just that the previous Imperial City Division only had the right to inspect, and if it encountered a case, it also had to be reported to Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple, so it could only be regarded as assisting rather than leading.

But now that the Imperial City Division has strengthened its authority, it has gradually replaced the role of Kaifeng Mansion, and a large number of Praetorian Guards have begun to patrol the streets, and the original backlog of cases in Kaifeng Mansion has been slowly transferred to the Imperial City Division, which is quite a bit of a replacement.

With Zhao Jun's order, the Imperial City Guards of the whole city were all mobilized, fully armed, with bows, crossbows, knives, armor, ladders, and each of them led a hundred people, divided into more than ten teams, and rushed to the homes of Liu Yuanzhi, Ma Yi, Gao Dingyi, Liao Yu and others, and the remaining more than 2,000 people rushed directly to the Kaifeng Mansion.

Kaifeng Mansion is not far from Qingtai Street, located in the southwest corner of the Dynasty in Shangshu Province, at the beginning in the northwest of Junyiqiao Street, in the south of the Bianhe River, next to the Yushitai. Since Zhao Guangyi had been the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, he moved Kaifeng Mansion to Shangshu Province after he became emperor.

After the decentralization of Shangshu Province, there was basically only an empty shell left, which covers an area of more than 300 acres, with a huge area, many buildings, and a small city on the periphery.

In the middle of the house, the gate, the main hall, the conference hall, the plum blossom hall as the central axis, supplemented by the left and right halls, Tianqingguan, Mingliyuan, Qianlong Palace, Qingxin Building, prison, Yingwu Building, Yin Hotel and other more than 50 large and small halls, buildings, build this vast institution.

Zhao Jun has been to Kaifeng Mansion several times, and each time he was amazed by the architecture here, compared to his Imperial City Bureau, people are like towering palaces, and his side is like a dilapidated thatched house.

More than 2,000 Imperial City Guards rushed to the West Corner Tower, and the wide street was in chaos with the arrival of the forbidden army at the moment.

The stalls on the street, shopping, wandering the alleys, and selling goods, like avoiding the plague god, avoided it, and when the Praetorian Guards left, the street was already a mess, and people were curious about what the Imperial City Division was crazy about, and many people had the courage to follow.

Soon when they arrived at Xijiaolou Street, the Imperial City Division was already followed by nearly 10,000 onlookers from Bianliang, and the number was still increasing.

At this moment, in front of the Kaifeng Mansion, the huge Yamen is open, there is a long queue at the door, and the people of Bianliang want to report to the official, they must register at the door, and the Kaifeng Mansion will not work immediately after registration, but depends on how much money you spend and how much silver you make.

Although Kaifeng Mansion has recently pushed the case to the head of the Imperial City Division, after all, Kaifeng Mansion has been in Bianliang for a long time, and the people only know Kaifeng Mansion but not the Imperial City Division, so there are still a large number of people who come to report to the official.

"Oh no, no."

The officials at the door were bored to register, and by the way, looking for the people to ask for money, a fast horse galloped and stopped at the door of the Kaifeng Mansion.

A Kaifeng Mansion express shift leader jumped off his horse in a hurry and shouted at the yamen.

At the entrance of the yamen, a government official in charge of registration rolled his eyes and said, "What are you yelling about, in broad daylight, what's going on?" ”

The squad leader rushed to the steps, pointed to the rear and said anxiously: "The Imperial City Division Guards are coming towards our yamen. ”

"Oh?"

The Duke of Nafu was puzzled in advance, and then said, "Maybe they are just passing by." ”

Xijiaolou Street is located in the southwest corner of the Imperial Dynasty, connecting the west of the city and the south of the city, and if the people of the Imperial City Division want to go to the south of the city, they must indeed pass by here.

But the problem is that the location of the Imperial City Division is in the east of the city, and I heard that Zhao Jun, the director of the Imperial City Division, lives in the west of the city.

Before the official affairs of the prefecture could figure out this problem, the sound of footsteps of "dong dong dong" had already been heard on the wide street, and then a large number of Praetorian Guards of the Imperial City Division had already appeared in sight.

"Let's go and report to Fu Yin first."

Someone said.

"Go."

The official affairs of the prefecture realm looked vigilantly at the Imperial City Division Forbidden Army outside.

He did not order the closure of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion because the Great Song Dynasty had been established for more than 70 years, and he had never seen anyone dare to storm Kaifeng Mansion.

You must know that Taizong has been the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, so Kaifeng Mansion has a special status in the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this moment, the people queuing up outside Kaifeng Mansion to report to the official had realized that something was wrong, and they were a little farther away, one by one.

Zhao Jun walked out of the crowd and walked to the front, he raised the token in his hand, and said to the people behind him: "Kaifeng Mansion is hiding filth and dirt, and the Imperial City Division is ordered to arrest key criminals, do you know who you should take?" ”

"Yes!"

Several commanders behind him shouted loudly.

Zhao Jun said coldly: "Rush in, those who dare to stop will be killed!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Cao Xiu pulled out the knife on his waist and shouted angrily: "Rush in, those who dare to stop will be killed!" ”

"Kill!"

The forbidden army of the Imperial City Division belonged to the army that had been transferred, and it broke out with earth-shattering killing intent and rushed to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion to kill.

The official gate at the gate realized that the Imperial City Division had really come, and thought of Li Dewen being arrested the day before yesterday and the official being shot to death, so he immediately panicked and ran to the mansion gate one after another.

The official affairs of Nafu Jie still wanted to close the gate, but it was too late, for this raid, Zhao Jun even asked the soldiers to prepare ladders, just to break through the Kaifeng Mansion.

In an instant, the soldiers poured into Kaifeng Mansion like a tide, and when they entered the gate of the mansion, there were countless pavilions and pavilions on the left and right, as well as artificial lakes, towering trees could be seen everywhere, and the government offices and the main hall were among these beautiful scenery.

Zhao Jun had already made arrangements before he came, and the people he wanted to arrest had a clear goal, Kaifeng Mansion had one Fu Yin, two general judges, three judges, five push officials and twelve government courts to join the army.

There is one judge to be arrested, three pushers to be arrested, and eight prefectures and courts to join the army.

The rest of the large and small Zhucao, military patrol envoys, left and right public affairs, left and right affairs, mentioned points, and government affairs add up to one or two hundred people.

This is only the official of Kaifeng Mansion, and the following officials who are doing evil are at least more than 1,000, such as the station class soap li, the fast hand of the class catcher, and the strong class Minzhuang, but it is a pity that the king of Hades will be arrested for the time being, and the little ghost will be dealt with later.

The soldiers broke into the Kaifeng Mansion and arrested people everywhere, which soon alarmed Yin Dingdu of Kaifeng Mansion in the backyard.

"Fujun, it's not good, Fujun."

Liao Yu was working in the right hall, when he heard the noise outside, he went out to take a look, and when he saw the wolf-like army of the Imperial City Division, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran to the backyard.

Ding Du was reading a book in the backyard, this person's favorite thing is to read, and he has less things to do, and when he saw Liao Yu and more than a dozen Zhu Cao, Xiang Shi, Mention, and Gang running over, he was immediately displeased: "What happened is frizzy, so panicked in Kaifeng Mansion, it's really insulting!" ”

"Fu Jun, someone from the Imperial City Division has come in."

Liao Yu gave Zhao Jun a big hat and said, "They are going to rebel." ”

"What?"

Ding Du was shocked, then got up and shook his sleeves and said: "The old man gave Fan Xiwen a face, listened to his words and asked the old man to wait a few days to make a plan, I didn't expect Zhao Jun to be so rampant, wait for me to go out and have a look." ”

With that, he rushed to the front yard.

At this moment, the Imperial City Division had already surrounded the entire Kaifeng Mansion, and the judge who had colluded with Han Yuan during the period of Liu Yuanzhi, Ma Yi, Gao Dingyi, and Fan Zhongyan was also caught.

It stands to reason that the judges are basically from Jinshi, and they belong to the flow officials, and at most they will be sent to the local government to be governors for a year or two, and they will not be able to participate in this dirty thing.

But he couldn't stand Han Yuan's much, the judge didn't do anything bad himself, but Han Yuan pulled him into the gang and bribed him with more than 100,000 yuan, so that when Fan Zhongyan impeached Han Yuan, the judge wrote a letter to cover up, which made Fan Zhongyan hate him deeply and caught the evidence of Han Yuan's bribery.

When Ding Du arrived at the front office, it was full of soldiers from the Imperial City Division, more than 100 officials and officials of all sizes had been arrested, and the remaining dozens of people were basically not in Kaifeng Mansion, but on duty outside, and Zhao Jun had already sent someone else to arrest him.

There was a wail in the front office, and after Liu Yuanzhi, Ma Yi, Gao Dingyi and others were arrested, they were escorted to Zhao Jun, and all kinds of foul language were abused, and they were beaten by Zhao Jun's left and right guards and their mouths were full of blood.

Seeing this scene, Ding Du was furious and rushed in and scolded: "Who is Zhao Jun!" ”

"I am!"

Zhao Jun turned his head, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames.

Ding Du shouted: "Zhao Jun, you arrested Li Dewen the day before yesterday, the old man saw that Fan Xiwen didn't go to the Imperial City Division to ask for someone, and today he dared to break into Kaifeng Mansion, do you want to rebel?" ”

"Huh."

Zhao Jun didn't bother to talk nonsense with this idiot, so he took out a stack of official documents from the arms of Wang He, the imperial city secretary next to him, threw it on Ding Du's face, and shouted: "You stupid official, this is evidence of Li Dewen's corruption and bribery and cruelty to the people for many years." ”

Ding Du felt insulted, and said angrily: "Even if this is the case, it should be judged by my Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple, what do you have to do with it?" ”

"What does it have to do with me?"

Zhao Jun threw out a bunch of official documents and threw them in his face: "This is evidence of Liu Yuanzhi's crime of brutalizing the people for many years." ”

"This is evidence of Ma Yi's crime of killing people for many years."

"This is evidence of Gao Ding's crime of brutalizing the people for more than a year."

"It's."

Zhao Jun threw more than a dozen official documents in one breath and threw them in Ding Du's face, and reprimanded angrily: "Do you know how they colluded with the people of Sanssouci Cave to kill the people? ”

"Lao Tzu patrols the streets, the people of Sanssouci Cave abduct children, Lao Tzu catches people, and hands over the prisoners to the officials of your Kaifeng Mansion, and within two days, those people in Sanssouci Cave dare to come to the street to take revenge on me!"

"They broke the children's hands and feet and forced them to beg in the streets. The officials of Kaifeng Mansion have been in charge? ”

"They beat the child all over his body, then watered the wound with boiling water, and then stained it with snake skin and monkey hair, and made human snakes and human monkeys to juggle on the street.

"They kidnapped the women and forced them to become prostitutes, and the officials of your Kaifeng Mansion not only didn't care, but also went to their homes to do their business in person."

"Do you know what they make girls to? They cut off the limbs of the people, put the girls in a two-foot-high bottle, and made a spectacle of the people in the bottle to be exhibited in the city. ”

"Don't think that these things have nothing to do with your Kaifeng Mansion, Lao Tzu held a Sanssouci Cave branch this morning, do you know how many letters and incriminating evidence related to them were found in it? Just to bribe you for a mention below, it can cost thousands, thousands! ”

"Lao Tzu told you Ding Du, you are finished, I have printed all the things they committed into a document, all over Bianliang. At that time, the entire Bianliang people will know how much filth there is underneath you, Ding Du, a foolish official! ”

"You're done!"

Zhao Jun's saliva almost sprayed on Ding Du's face.

His eyes were red, and he said viciously: "The entire Kaifeng Mansion, just because of your inaction and your protection, has all become a group of unscrupulous people, if you want fame, I will give it to you!" ”

In the end, Ding Du's whole body was already blank and trembling.
