After the Shangshu Province was decentralized, it was basically left with an empty shell. It covers an area of ​​more than 300 acres, is extremely large, has numerous buildings, and its periphery looks like a small city.

The inner room is centered on the palace gate, ceremonial gate, main hall, meeting hall, and Plum Blossom Hall, supplemented by two halls on the left and right, Tianqing Temple, Mingli Courtyard, Qianlong Palace, Qingxin Tower, Prison, Yingwu Tower, Yin Hotel, and more than 50 halls and buildings of various sizes, forming this huge organization.

Zhao Jun had been to Kaifeng Prefecture several times, and was always amazed by the buildings here. Compared with his Imperial City Office, the other one was like a towering palace, while his own was like a shabby thatched hut.

More than two thousand Imperial City Guards rushed to West Corner Tower Street in a mighty force. The wide street was now in chaos with the arrival of the guards.

People setting up stalls, shopping, wandering the alleys, and selling goods on the street avoided them as if they were the plague. By the time the guards left, the streets were in a mess. People were curious about what the Imperial City Bureau had done, and many people bravely followed them.

When they arrived at Xijiaolou Street, there were already nearly 10,000 Bianliang citizens following the Imperial City Bureau, and the number was still increasing.

At this moment, in front of the Kaifeng government office, the huge office gate was open, and there was a long queue at the door. If the people of Bianliang wanted to report to the authorities, they had to register at the door. After registration, the Kaifeng government would not start work immediately, but would see how much money you spent.

Although Kaifeng Prefecture has recently pushed all the cases to the Imperial City Division, Kaifeng Prefecture has been powerful in Bianliang for a long time. The people only know Kaifeng Prefecture and not the Imperial City Division, so there are still a large number of people who come to report to the authorities.

"Oh no, oh no."

Just as the yamen runners at the gate were bored and doing registration, and asking the people for money, a fast horse came galloping and stopped at the gate of Kaifeng Prefecture Yamen.

A leader of the Kaifeng Prefecture's express team jumped off his horse in a hurry and shouted at the yamen gate.

At the yamen gate, a prefectural official in charge of registration rolled his eyes and said, "What are you yelling about? It's broad daylight. What happened?"

The squad leader scrambled up the steps and pointed to the back, saying anxiously, "The Imperial City Guards are coming towards our government office."

"oh?"

The official was puzzled at first, then said, "Maybe they are just passing by."

Xijiaolou Street is located in the southwest corner of the imperial court, connecting the west and south of the city. If people from the Imperial City Bureau want to go to the south of the city, they must pass by here.

But the problem is that the Imperial City Administration's office is located in the east of the city. I heard that the Imperial City Administration's Director Zhao Jun lives in the west of the city. Does that mean that the Imperial City Administration will first gather people from the east of the city and then go from the west to the south? Wouldn't that be too roundabout?

Before the officials of the prefecture could figure out this problem, the sound of "dong dong dong dong" footsteps was heard on the wide street, and then a large number of guards from the Imperial City Department appeared in sight.

"Go report to the prefect first."

Someone said.

"go."

The officials of the prefecture looked warily at the Imperial City Guards outside.

He did not order the gates of Kaifeng Prefecture to be closed because in the more than 70 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, no one had ever dared to attack Kaifeng Prefecture.

You should know that Taizong was the prefect of Kaifeng, so Kaifeng had a special status in the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this moment, the people queuing outside Kaifeng Prefecture to report to the police had already realized that something was wrong, and they all moved a little further away, waiting and watching.

Zhao Jun stepped out from the crowd and walked to the front. He raised the token in his hand and said to the people behind him, "Kaifeng Prefecture is harboring filth and corruption. The Imperial City Division has been ordered to apprehend the most important criminals. Do you know who you should arrest?"

"Know!"

Several commanders behind him shouted loudly.

Zhao Jun said coldly, "Charge in! Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xiu drew the knife from his waist and shouted angrily: "Charge in! Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed without mercy!"

"kill!"

The Imperial City Guards were a transferred army, and they burst out with murderous intent and rushed towards the gate of Kaifeng Prefecture.

The yamen runners at the door realized that the Imperial City Bureau was serious. Thinking of what happened the day before when Li Dewen was arrested and some yamen runners were shot to death, they were immediately panicked and ran towards the gate of the mansion.

The officials of the prefecture wanted to close the gate, but it was too late. In order to prepare for this surprise attack, Zhao Jun even asked the soldiers to prepare ladders to break into the Kaifeng government office.

In an instant, the soldiers poured into Kaifeng Prefecture like a tide. Entering the gate of the prefecture, there was a huge square with countless pavilions and towers on both sides, as well as artificial lakes. Towering trees could be seen everywhere. The various prefecture halls and main government offices were located among these beautiful scenery.

Zhao Jun had already made arrangements before coming. He had clear targets for the people he wanted to capture. Kaifeng Prefecture had a prefect, two assistant prefects, three judges, five prosecutors, and twelve military officers from the prefectural court.

There is a judge to be arrested, three prosecutors to be arrested, and eight government officials to be arrested.

The rest of the various offices, big and small, military inspectors, left and right public officials, left and right officials, supervisors, and officials in the prefecture and territory, together numbered about one or two hundred people.

These are only the officials in Kaifeng Prefecture. There are at least more than a thousand evil yamen runners such as the guards on duty, the quick hands in the arresting squad, the militia in the strong squad, etc. It's a pity that we have to catch the King of Hell first and deal with the little ghosts later.

The soldiers rushed into the Kaifeng government office and arrested people everywhere, which soon alarmed the Kaifeng prefect Ding Du who was in the backyard.

"Master, this is not good, Master."

Liao Yu was working in the right hall when he heard the noise outside and went out to take a look. Seeing the fierce and ferocious Imperial City Army, he immediately realized that something was wrong and hurried to the backyard.

Ding Du was reading in the backyard. He loved reading, and didn't have to worry about much. When he saw Liao Yu and more than a dozen officials from the various departments, clerks, supervisors, and other departments running over, he immediately said in displeasure, "What happened? Why are you so impatient? You're so panicked in Kaifeng Prefecture. It's really a disgrace to the people!"
