"I know of a family where two brothers are members of the Xiaodao Society. I can testify to this. Who would dare to report this to the government?"

In an instant, instigated by the man and with the help of others, someone soon dared to come forward and report it.

The man was delighted and said, "There are Imperial City Guards patrolling the streets. Just tell them directly. Don't be afraid. We, the neighbors, will support you."

Under the encouragement of the crowd, the person who mustered up the courage to report it actually did so.

And such things were happening everywhere in Bianliang.

Zhao Jun bought a printing house and printed a large number of official announcements. He also played the good guy in Kaifeng Prefecture, stating that only the main culprit would be executed. As for the other minor offenders, as long as they surrendered themselves, actively reported and provided clues, they would be given lighter punishments and even rewards.

The Imperial City Bureau played the good guy, saying that as long as the people from the evil forces such as Wuyou Cave and Guifanlou were caught, they would be severely punished.

Moreover, in a few days, a large number of these gang members will be executed to deter evildoers.

The result was that in the past few days, many gangsters of all sizes in the city went to Kaifeng Prefecture to surrender themselves. Even if they did not surrender themselves, they fled underground due to the threat of the Imperial City Bureau, and the security in the city improved a lot.

Two days later, Fan Zhongyan and Zhao Jun continued with their next plan and began to orchestrate a "counterattack" by underground forces. At night, they sent people to tear up official notices and post notices from "underground forces" instead, creating a threat that anyone who dared to report would be wiped out.

As a result, the people of Bianliang were soon shrouded in panic that the underground forces were about to make a comeback.

At this time, the Imperial City Bureau sent out detectives lurking among the people, letting these people stir up trouble in the streets and alleys, which further aroused the people's fear.

At this time, all it needs is a catalyst, such as the inspectors of the Imperial City Department spreading the word that the days without Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower are good times. This will arouse the indignation of the people, make them angry, and make them want to report.

Basically at this point, 70% of the work is done.

Then, a few days later, the Imperial City Administration publicly chopped off the heads of a large number of prisoners from Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower. Seeing that these people would also die, the anger in the hearts of the people instantly turned into motivation, and they began to report enthusiastically.

The whole process was just like how Zhang Muzhi dealt with Huang Silang. He gave out silver and guns, aroused the anger of the people, and finally chopped off the fake Huang Silang, instantly igniting the powder keg.

At this time, the people in Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower naturally did not know that Zhao Jun and Fan Zhongyan had set up such a plan.

They just felt confused.

They clearly did nothing, so why did so many notices suddenly appear on the ground provoking the government and the people?

It's puzzling.

Gui Fanlou's left whip reported the situation to the owner of the building. The owner didn't understand what the government wanted to do, so he ordered his subordinates to wait and see.

So in the next few days, the streets and alleys of Bianliang were full of inspectors who were stirring up public anger.

There are already signs of people continuously reporting.

Although there has not been any large-scale reporting, the evil forces hidden among the people can sense that something is wrong.

Xinsongmennei Street is located in the Menzifang area at the south corner of the East Water Gate of the Bian River. It is the location of the West Bian River, a branch of the Bian River. The Bian River is divided into two in the area of ​​Yujie Zhouqiao in the inner city, forming two canals.

The flow of the Xibian River is relatively small, but the daily water transport continues. In the street market, early in the morning, before dawn, three figures returned home from outside.

The leader was about forty years old, with a broad waist and a fierce face. But at this moment, he was like a rat crossing the street, hiding during the day and moving at night, not daring to show off.

Because his public identity is the boss of the Axe Society, and his secret identity is the president of a branch of Wuyou Cave.

These days, Kaifeng Prefecture and the Imperial City Administration have been working together to arrest gang members in the city. All societies and gangs that collect protection fees, smash shops, and oppress the people, as well as those with underworld attributes, have been purged.

For a time, many gang members had to hide. Some went underground, and some hid more covertly on the ground, responsible for gathering information and transporting supplies to the underground.

Now, many of the subordinates of the Axe Society boss, Li Sanlang, nicknamed Hunjianglong, have been captured, and some have escaped and scattered, so he basically only has a few kittens around him.

After returning home, the remaining few people gathered around and asked in unison, "Brother, what happened?"

"Are those people from the Imperial City Bureau and Kaifeng Prefecture still trying to catch us?"

"Now we dare not even go out."

"Thinking back on how powerful we were as brothers, we're now in dire straits. When will this end?"

Eight people gathered in the yard. Since Kaifeng Prefecture was offering a reward, Li Sanlang was afraid that his brothers would betray him, so he went to purchase the supplies himself.

He threw the things in his hand on the ground, spat and cursed, "Damn it, Zhao Jun really won't leave us any chance of survival. Every market and street is patrolled everywhere. I bought all this food at the night market."

"Brother, this doesn't feel right."

One of the brothers who followed him out frowned and said, "When we went to the night market yesterday, some neighbors who recognized us looked at us and pointed at us. Will they report us to the authorities?"

"Pooh."

Li Sanlang sneered and said, "Give them some guts. I know those people. They treat us like grandsons when they see us on a normal day. Now they're going to the government to report us? I think they don't want to live anymore."

Everyone thought so too.

Their Axe Society has hundreds of members who control several streets, and the leader is from Wuyou Cave.

Although the surrounding neighbors have been bullied by them for years, they also know their power more clearly because of this. If they report them to the authorities, aren’t they afraid of their revenge afterwards?
