Strictly speaking, Ding Du feels a bit of a backpot.

After all, he has only been the governor of Kaifeng Mansion for four months, and although he hasn't done anything, many tumors have already existed, and they have been the case for decades.

It's just that Fan Zhongyan has actually cleaned up some filth during the period, and the officials below don't dare to be blatant.

As a result, after Ding Du took office, due to inaction, evil quickly grew.

Therefore, Bianliang has become as virtuous as it is today, the Song Dynasty had serious land annexation, resulting in a large number of landless people entering the city, and the underground drainage system contained a hotbed of evil is the main responsibility, and the inaction of the previous Kaifeng Mansion is naturally a secondary responsibility.

Including the period when Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng were appointed as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, they only cracked down on these evils, but did not completely eliminate these evils, as long as there is soil, they will continue to breed.

But it is undeniable that if Ding Du takes office, he continues Fan Zhongyan's practice, strictly enforces the law, fulfills the rules and regulations of Kaifeng Prefecture, disposes of the black sheep of the lower-level institutions in the prefecture, and manages the upper-level judges and officials, it will not let Kaifeng Mansion degenerate into what it is now in just four months.

Therefore, Zhao Jun said that Ding Du was extremely stupid, and it was by no means empty nonsense.

At this moment, the palace hall was already silent, and the evidence of the crime all over the ground made Ding Du almost speechless, trembling and speechless, Liao Yu and others behind him saw that the situation was not good, and they wanted to leave, but found that the door had long been blocked, and there was no way out.

Now the entire Kaifeng Mansion is surrounded, except for the outer wall that is too big to enclose, all the main gates, side doors, and back doors are all blocked, and the people in each palace are also controlled, and no one runs out.

It has become a besieged city.

Everyone's people called friends, and the news quickly spread throughout Bianliang. Countless Bianliang citizens and even dignitaries have gone out to Kaifeng Mansion to watch.

For a time, the originally wide road outside Kaifeng Mansion was crowded with people, and it was compared with the annual temple fair of Xiangguo Temple.

In the hall, Zhao Jun noticed Liao Yu hiding behind the crowd, he had seen him on the street last time, and pointed at him and said, "Di Qing, get people out." ”

Di Qing rushed over like a wolf and lifted Liao Yu to the side like a chicken.

The officials of the left and right departments were also beaten like dead dogs, and there were ready-made torture tools in Kaifeng Prefecture, which were originally used to torture prisoners, but now they are used on them.

One by one, they were shackled and chained together.

Zhao Jun lowered his head and looked at Liao Yu, and said with a smile: "Liao Yu, your intrigues and tricks are indeed good, but unfortunately they are useless to me." ”

Liao Yu reluctantly smiled and said, "I've seen Zhisi, is there any misunderstanding between Zhisi?" ”

"There's no misunderstanding."

Zhao Jun said in a deep voice: "You still have a chance to tell where the sect girl is, otherwise the end may not be too good." ”

Liao Yu's heart tightened, he sent someone to find Ghost Fan Lou to do this, originally wanted to make some trouble for Zhao Jun, and then let the Zongnu go.

After all, if the daughter of the sect is lost, and no one can be found in Kaifeng Mansion, the official family is likely to be furious and vent their anger on both the Imperial City Division and Kaifeng Mansion, and at that time they may injure 1,000 enemies and 800 themselves.

Therefore, the sect girl was indeed hidden by him, and she offered delicious food and drink every day.

But the problem is that now people don't go through the procedures directly, and even rush to Kaifeng Mansion to get people, which is something he never expected.

It's all about breaking the rules.

Now the other party has no intention of continuing to follow the rules, if he really turns over the affairs of the sect girl, then he will be completely finished.

Therefore, Liao Yu gritted his teeth and said: "What Zhisi said, I can't understand it." ”

"Well, I'll make you understand."

Zhao Jun smiled, and then said: "There is a torture room in Kaifeng Mansion, borrow your torture room to torture something." Where is Shi Yu? ”

"Humble duty."

Shi Yu stood up happily, since he tortured Li Dewen, he liked this kind of treatment of those old men who used to be high, looking at their painful expressions, snot and tears begging for themselves.

Zhao Jun said: "Drag him to the torture room, don't leave a finger, no fingers, teeth, toes, knife by knife, cut until he speaks, if he dies, start with his son and continue." ”

"Yes!"

Shi Yu took a few people and dragged Liao Yu out like a dead dog.

Liao Yu was still shocked, and kept struggling: "Zhisi, Zhisi, there must be some misunderstanding here."

Seeing that Zhao Jun was unmoved, when he was dragged to the door, he had already become "Zhao Jun, you don't want to die!" The officials will not let you go, and the princes of the court will not let you go! ”

"Fu Yin, Fu Yin!"

By the end of the day, the sound was getting quieter and quieter, apparently being dragged to the torture chamber.

Zhao Jun looked at all this indifferently.

If he will continue to dig back in this matter, and the public will not let go of himself, then everyone will continue to fight.

If Zhao Zhen obstructed himself for this matter, and even did not hesitate to turn his face with himself and cancel all his power, then it is no wonder that he had to make a decision against his ancestors and punch Zhao Zhen in the face a few times.

Anyway, Zhao Jun's sense of the Song Dynasty is like this, if it weren't for the relationship between his ancestors, the Song Dynasty would have rebelled at the expense of the people and pleasing the scholars.

"Chiji, all the people on the list have been caught."

Cao Xiu walked in from outside and said to Zhao Jun: "There are one hundred and twenty-seven people in total, and there are more than eighty people outside. Some of the officials tried to stop us, and were shot with crossbows and killed more than 20 people. ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Escort everyone to the outside of Kaifeng Mansion and immediately go to trial." Declare their crimes to the public, and I will make them unturnable for ever. ”

"Yes."

Cao Xiu got the order and went to do it immediately.

According to historical records, the Cao family's family style is not bad, and they are not mixed with these dirty things.

Or the main thing is that they don't have much power, the scholars and doctors call them noble for face, and if they don't give face, they let the Yushitai frantically impeach and suppress them, so that the gate is also embarrassed.

However, there are also some people who are in the same stream as the Jiangmen, and they unite with those corrupt officials and corrupt officials to lend usury and oppress the people.

For these people, Zhao Jun definitely intends to get rid of them in order to set the record straight.

And the Cao family, a family that is still peaceful and self-contained, now hugs Zhao Jun's thigh, and has the possibility of going up, so he is naturally willing to hug it.

What's more, the official family gave Cao Xiu a death order and asked him to obey Zhao Jun's orders.

Therefore, Cao Xiu was already obedient to Zhao Jun.

At this moment, Kaifeng Mansion has been occupied by the people of the Imperial City Division, after the soldiers entered Kaifeng Mansion, they quickly controlled the entire mansion, hundreds of officials in the list were escorted, Wang He and Chen Zhong took a large number of incriminating evidence and took them out for public trial, and the mansion was in a mess.

After about half an hour, the people on the list were basically almost caught, and the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, which had been closed by the Imperial City Division, was reopened again, and countless soldiers poured out and tried directly in the square outside.

When these people were escorted outside the house, there were exclamations of surprise. Immediately, Cao Xiu asked people to find a large number of prisoner cars from the Kaifeng Mansion, each of which read out the guilt, and then escorted it to the prisoner car to be taken back to the Imperial City Division.

Although Kaifeng Mansion has ready-made prison cells and trial halls.

But they are here to arrest people, and it is a bit unjustifiable to directly seize the Kaifeng Mansion judgment.

The most important thing is that Zhao Jun relied on the criminal evidence collected by Lao Fan when he was the governor of Kaifeng Mansion to arrest these people, Fan Zhongyan could not catch all the criminal evidence of everyone in his hands, and those crimes were just the tip of the iceberg.

Therefore, Zhao Jun wanted to bring all these people back to the Imperial City Bureau, interrogate them one by one, turn the world upside down, and then make all their crimes public, so that these people can be executed reasonably and legally.

Even if Zhao Jun and the work they are doing now is justified, Zhao Zhen has given the Imperial City Division such power, but it must stand on the moral supremacy and have the upper hand in public opinion.

Otherwise, I am afraid that those things in the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Court will always put pressure on Zhao Zhen, and it will be a trouble for Zhao Zhen to not be able to withstand it.

Zhao Jun stood outside Kaifeng Mansion and watched all this.

Every time they heard a person's accusation, the people below exclaimed in surprise and began to discuss.

"I didn't expect the people of Kaifeng Mansion to collude with the people of the Ghost Fan Tower in Sanssouci Cave, they are obviously the people who maintain law and order in Bianliang, but they kill the people."

"You just know? I thought the people of Bianliang already knew. ”

"It's really applauding that the Imperial City Division was able to get rid of these silverfish today. No, I have to go back and call my brother to come and see. ”

"Why are you calling your brother?"

"My brother was previously broken by someone from the White Tiger Society and sued him to Kaifeng Mansion, but they asked us to wait, and within a few days, the people from the White Tiger Club came to the door and beat my brother again, forcing my brother to withdraw the case, and later I learned that it was the people from the White Tiger Society who made money behind his back."

"It's okay to just break an arm, does Granny Yuan, who can see how to sell sugar cakes, know? Her daughter-in-law did not abide by women's morals and hooked up with the deputy head of Xinglong Society, and her son once bumped into her, beat him with a flat pole, and was stabbed to death with a sharp knife. ”

"Yo, this is not a capital crime?"

"Capital offense? Is there anyone in charge of it in Kaifeng Mansion? Just last month, there was a lot of uproar on our side. ”

The people of Bianliang are not fools.

The government colluded with gangsters to oppress the people, and they were the first victims.

Although not everyone has been treated unfairly due to the large population base of Bianliang, it is easiest to spread the news among the markets.

So a lot of things have spread, and everyone knows what's going on, but there's just no way to complain.

In history, Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng have only been the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion for more than a year and more than two years, opening the yamen, anyone can come in to complain, and enforce the law impartially, and let them be rumored to be the master of the blue sky?

Although they did a good job, this was originally what any Kaifeng Mansion Yin should do, and as a result, there were more than a hundred Kaifeng Mansion Yin, but only these two people were praised.

You can see how ironic this is.

At the same time, it can also be seen that the Kaifeng Mansion Yin of the past dynasties did not do his part at all, so that the resentment of the people soared, allowing evil to continue to breed.

At this moment, the people saw that the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of Kaifeng Mansion, who were originally high, were all punished by the Imperial City Division, and they applauded for a while.

In the crowd, a sedan chair flew over and stopped outside Kaifeng Mansion.

Fan Zhongyan opened the sedan curtain in the sedan chair, and when he saw the scene outside, his heart was cold.

He hoped that Zhao Jun would become the unscrupulous knife, but he didn't let him raise the entire Kaifeng Mansion.

Kaifeng Mansion as the security center of the entire Bianliang, the whole city has to deal with countless things, once suspended, the impact on the entire city is very large.

So when he heard Zhao Jun forcibly breaking into Kaifeng Mansion, he hurried over.

It's a pity that it didn't stop.

Fan Zhongyan rushed into the crowd, and when the onlookers saw that he was coming, they all said, "It's Fan Fuyin who is here." ”

"Lord Qingtian is here, get out of the way."

"Fan Fujun, did you also come to see the Imperial City Division to catch so many silverfish in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Someone shouted.

Fan Zhongyan had no choice but to smile awkwardly, and then walked out of the crowd, only to be stopped by the people of the Imperial City Division.

"Zhisi, it's Xiwen Gong who is here."

Di Qing said to him.

For Fan Zhongyan, Di Qing and others still respect him very much.

After all, Fan Zhongyan still did a lot of good things when he knew Kaifeng Mansion, which was praised by the people of Bianliang.

Zhao Jun knew what Fan Zhongyan was doing, and said, "Let him come over." ”

Soon the Imperial City Division was relieved, Fan Zhongyan hurriedly ran to the steps and whispered to Zhao Jun: "You kid, why are you so impulsive!" ”

"I'll take you to meet the bottle later, you'll be very impulsive too."

Zhao Jun said lightly.

"I know about the bottle. It's not just a bottle, I've been checking it for so long, and there is more than one bottle in the worry-free hole. ”

"Then you still have the face to come and say I'm impulsive?"

Zhao Jun was happy.

He knew that what he saw in Sanssouci Cave was just the tip of the iceberg.

The problem is that this tip of the iceberg is enough for him to faint.

As a result, Fan Zhongyan ran over and said that he shouldn't have come to Kaifeng Mansion to arrest people, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?

Fan Zhongyan said helplessly: "You go to arrest people and wait for them to disperse and go back to arrest them, you can raid your house, and forcibly break into Kaifeng Mansion in broad daylight, where is the majesty of Kaifeng Mansion in the future?" In the future, Kaifeng Mansion will have to govern Bianliang, you are comfortable, but what about the aftermath? ”

Intellectually speaking, what Fan Zhongyan said was right, after all, Kaifeng Mansion still has to govern the entire Bianliang, even if all the people are arrested, they still have to take into account the official face.

This is also why in all dynasties and dynasties to arrest corrupt officials, the emperor sent people to act secretly without fanfare.

From a macro perspective, this is called taking the big picture into account.

But Zhao Jun also has his own ideas.

Since he wants to make the Imperial City Division all over the country, he naturally wants to make the Imperial City Division majestic.

And stepping on the top of Kaifeng Mansion is the best opportunity.

Zhao Jun said in a deep voice: "Kaifeng Mansion is still Kaifeng Mansion, as long as it is governed cleanly, fairly, and convincing the people, the lost majesty can still be returned." But will the countless people whose wives have been separated come back? They sat here with blood on their hands, and they sat in peace, can the lives of those innocent victims come back? ”

"Me"

Fan Zhongyan was helpless.

Zhao Jun continued: "Lao Fan, you are also a jealous and hateful person, so I treat you as a friend, but I hope you don't use your bureaucratic thinking to restrict me, I naturally have my own way." ”

Fan Zhongyan said bitterly: "You did say that you would do it, but now that the entire Kaifeng Mansion has been taken by you, who will govern Bianliang City like this?" ”

"This group of people is gone, and naturally there will be the next batch. Are you still afraid that there will be fewer officials in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Are you just going to keep killing?"

"Of course not, aren't you trying to solve the problem of redundant officials? Aren't you going to reform the system that is now backward and rotten? ”

Zhao Jun looked at him and said: "Killing a group of people really can't solve the problem, but it can solve the problem temporarily, first make the politics clear, and then do the rest of the big things, even if the government dies after a hundred years, at least a hundred years of peace must be guaranteed." ”

"This"

Fan Zhongyan was speechless, he really wanted to reform, but he didn't want Zhao Jun to directly step on the Kaifeng Mansion in the ground, after all, he had been the prefect of Kaifeng, but he didn't want Kaifeng Mansion to be replaced by a secret agency of the Imperial City Division.

"Okay, don't try to persuade me anymore. The Imperial City Division will not replace Kaifeng Mansion, as long as the people of Kaifeng Mansion do not continue to oppress the people, then it is still a good yamen of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Jun waved his hand and said: "I don't have so much time, and I don't have the idea to continue to intrigue with Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng's gang, sometimes some means must be used, even if it is thunder means, only by dealing with corrupt officials and mediocre people can we improve efficiency." ”

He is now ready to go back to the Imperial City Division, and make good use of these silverfish in Kaifeng Mansion, and explain the dirty things they have done, who is behind them to support and shield them, and explain them all in one place.

Only by letting Kaifeng Mansion set an example and come to a big case can deter officialdom for at least ten years. Even if it's only for five years, you can do a lot of things.
