When Zhao Jun saw the human trafficker again, an emotion of indescribable anger surged into his head.

Human trafficking, and they released him just after two or three days?

They might even be released on the spot instead of being sent to the government office, but to a pharmacy.

The righteous yamen runner heard that they didn't seem to know each other, and the yamen runner was quite angry about Wuyou Cave, so he believed his words.

After all, Zhao Jun thought that even if a large number of officials colluded with local forces, not all of them could be like that, and there must still be some righteous people.

Now it seems that Zhao Jun was naive and overthinking.

"call out!"

Di Qing blew the whistle.

Not only did they come out quickly, they were even bold enough to come and take revenge on me. The gangs and government officials in Bianliang were basically rotten to the core, and they didn't even bother to put on an act. They were extremely rampant.

At that moment, Zhao Jun felt anger rising to the top of his head, and said to Di Qing and the others, "Do whatever you want."

Things happened quickly and went away quickly. The night market crowd who had realized that something was wrong had just retreated and moved away from the alley when the people in the alley were cleared out.

But at this time, Zhao Jun had completely lost the mood to go to the night market. He asked Di Qing to capture these people and take them to the Yulong Direct Camp headquarters, tortured and interrogated them, and collected a lot of evidence from them.

In an instant, there was chaos at every entrance and end of the alley.

Countless inspectors from the Imperial City Bureau walked out of the crowd and began to clear out these people.

Fan Zhongyan has not attended court recently.

In the past, he had to go to the back garden to find Zhao Jun every day, but now he stays at home all day to study the situation in the northwest, waiting for Lu Yijian to recommend him to govern Shaanxi in the future, so his life is quite leisurely.

That night he wrote down what he had seen and heard during his travels throughout Bianliang over the past twenty days, and sorted out the evidence of collusion between these gang members and officials, including both human and material evidence.

The next morning, with a pair of panda eyes, he rushed straight to Fan Zhongyan's mansion in anger.

The housekeeper hurried over to open the door, stuck his head out to take a look, and asked, "Excuse me, please."

Zhao Jun barely suppressed his anger and said, "Tell Duke Xiwen that Zhao Jun is here to visit."

Before dawn, Zhao Jun rushed to his house and knocked on the door "dong dong dong".

"Here I come."

But he quickly came over to open the door and respectfully invited them in.

Because Fan Zhongyan was in the main hall at that time, not far from the gate, he immediately asked the housekeeper to welcome them in.

"OK."

The housekeeper saw that the people outside were holding weapons and felt a little uneasy, so he immediately closed the door and went to report.

"Of course there is something."

Zhao Jun slammed his writing on his desk and asked, "Weren't you the prefect of Kaifeng before? Is this the Kaifeng prefecture under your rule? We encountered human traffickers on the street a few days ago. They stole someone's child, and the yamen runners took him away. Last night, they came to take revenge on us!"

Lanterns were already lit at the Fan Mansion. Zhao Jun walked in quickly and saw Fan Zhongyan leisurely drinking tea. He was furious and said, "Lord Xiwen is so leisurely."

Fan Zhongyan put down his tea and the map of the northwest he was reading, and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Di Qing looked at Zhao Jun, who suppressed his anger and said, "You two get out."

"Yes, Xiaolang."

"You guys go out first."

Fan Zhongyan glanced at the housekeeper and Di Qing and the others who were always by his side, and said, "I have something to say to Zhao Jun."

Fan Zhongyan gestured to the seat next to him and said with a smile, "You are just a little impulsive and can't hide things."

Zhao Jun glanced at him and said, "Aren't you the same?"

Everyone went out, and soon there were only two people left in the hall.

"Please sit down first."

Zhao Jun sat down and said, "Give me an explanation."

"What's the explanation?"

"That was when I was young. Things are much better now, but I have definitely made up my mind about some things and I won't look back."

Fan Zhongyan said.

"It's not you, it's them."

Fan Zhongyan shook his head. "I want to change some things, but do you know who's behind them? Do you know that the countless memorials I wrote to the emperor fell on deaf ears?"

Fan Zhongyan glanced at the paper Zhao Jun had placed on the table and said, "To be honest, I don't even want to read these things of yours, because I know countless times more than you do. The dirty deeds of Kaifeng Prefecture are far more exciting than you can imagine."

Zhao Jun was so angry that he laughed and said, "Is this how you treat the people?"

"Starting from the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, the previous dynasty's rule of exiling corrupt officials by banishing them to various prefectures was changed. Not only could they be released, but they were also allowed to "be reprimanded" and promoted according to their rank."

"Furthermore, starting in March of the seventh year of the Dazhong Xiangfu reign, Emperor Zhenzong issued an edict stating that from now on, officials in all prefectures who committed crimes would be exempted from all charges as long as they surrendered themselves before their crimes were exposed. It was precisely because of the court's tolerance and indulgence that many corrupt officials became even more emboldened and unscrupulous."

"Do you know that the people I arrested in the morning were released by the yamen runners in the evening? I punished the yamen runners and officials, but they started to do nothing and made countless excuses? Even if I replaced them, the new ones would still be the same."

"In the first year of Jingyou, I was transferred to Suzhou and impeached 'Suzhou officials, both big and small, who were doing their best to embezzle and enrich themselves'. In the end, none of the impeached officials were punished, and they all rose to higher positions."

"I"

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, and then something clicked in his mind. He widened his eyes and said, "You mean, I can't do anything?"
