"Why?"

Li Dewen asked subconsciously.

"Because there are many corrupt officials within the Imperial City Division, I deliberately spread the news to eliminate them. So you are just my means of cleaning up the Imperial City Division. You think we at the Imperial City Division wouldn't dare to arrest anyone casually, but you don't know that let alone arresting someone, even killing you wouldn't matter."

Zhao Jun smiled and said, "As long as I get all the evidence of your crimes and lay the facts before those people, I can give them a good slap in the face. Come on, chop off one of his fingers. If he doesn't talk, chop it off slowly."

"You dare!"

Li Dewen's eyes were about to burst.

The execution officers from the military torture room brought by Cao Ren looked at each other in confusion.

Although they were responsible for torturing the imperial guards who broke the law, they would not just chop off people's fingers. Didn't they use whipping, military sticks and the like in the past?

"No one's going?"

Zhao Jun turned around and glanced at everyone coldly. This guy Li Dewen, let alone having his fingers cut off, just the murders, arson, corruption, abuse of power, and trafficking of women over the years were enough to deserve death by slow slicing.

"Chishi."

Li Bin and others who were in charge of official documents at the Imperial City Office were also present. Zhou Wenyan hesitated and said, "If there is no solid evidence, it would be difficult to torture them like this."

"There's plenty of evidence. Li Dewen acted recklessly. The victim's family simply didn't have a way to sue him, not that they didn't want to. Now that I've given them a way, I'm sure there will be plenty of witnesses and evidence."

Zhao Jun smiled and patted Zhou Wenyan on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, you might not be able to save your fingers later. Come on, arrest Li Bin, Zhou Wenyan, and Yu Ji."

"Chi Si!"

The three of them were stunned and before they could react, they were held down by Di Qing and others around them.

Then Commander Wang Ze came forward and took the three of them away.

Wang He and Chen Zhong looked at each other, both secretly shocked, guessing that Zhisi was going to do something serious.

"ah!"

At this moment, Liu Qing from the five-member team had taken the torture instrument from the table, pressed down Li Dewen's finger and cut it off with a knife.

The screams filled the entire Dianqian Military Torture Room, almost scaring the prisoners in the surrounding cells to death.

Zhao Jun said indifferently, "Li Dewen, no one can save you. You're doomed, but what your two sons did wasn't excessive. If you want to leave behind offspring, or want someone to accompany you on your way to the afterlife, confess all your accomplices. Tell them everything, don't try to hide anything, I know much more than you do."

Having said that, he didn't bother to pay any more attention to this person and turned away.

Now that we've officially begun the process, we must quickly resolve the problem. First, we must eliminate the corrupt officials within the Imperial City Division, and then we can take action against the remaining individuals.

There were more than seventy officials involved in the Zhao Jian case. Emperor Zhenzong of Song was furious and dealt with many of them.

But that is not enough.

Zhao Jun planned to take advantage of this opportunity to poke a hole in Bianliang, and to seek justice for the people of Bianliang who had been harmed by them over the years.
