"What's the use of this?"
Ma Yi frowned and said, "There are hundreds of missing people in Kaifeng Prefecture every year. Even if it's just a princess, the government will be furious and will implicate us in Kaifeng Prefecture. If they don't have a good life, how can we have an easy life?"
The Imperial City Bureau only had patrols and inquiries, and the recently acquired powers of arrest, interrogation, and trial were merely additional powers. Unlike the Kaifeng Prefecture, which held unshirkable responsibility for public security and was therefore the primary bearer of responsibility, the Kaifeng Prefecture itself was inaction, and they were the ones who would suffer if the matter was reported.
Liu Yuanzhi laughed and said, "The disappearance of the clan daughter is a major case. If the clan members go to the emperor to make trouble, the emperor will definitely order us and the Imperial City Bureau to solve the case within a deadline. If the Imperial City Bureau can't find her, if we can find her, doesn't that prove that the Imperial City Bureau is a bunch of good-for-nothings?"
"oh?"
Ma Yi and Gao Ding looked at each other and understood a little bit. They couldn't help but sigh that Liu Yuanzhi was really brave and even dared to attack the daughter of the clan.
"But we can't count on this. If the government is determined to support the Imperial City Bureau, I'm afraid we won't be able to bring them down."
Liao Yu pondered and said, "We must think of other ways."
"What method?"
Zhan Wu asked.
Liao Yu thought for a while and said, "This matter still needs the intervention of Governor Ding."
"The prefect has spoken to you gentlemen these past few days and has also met with the emperor several times, requesting the return of the Imperial City Administration's authority, but the emperor has always refused. What else can we do?"
Zhang Pengfei looked helpless.
The other party has no moral principles and has not followed the normal procedures. They have to follow the normal procedures and ask the Censorate and the Court of Remonstration to impeach them. As long as the emperor protects him, they can do nothing to Zhao Jun.
But Liao Yu's face showed a sinister expression, and he whispered, "The Imperial City Division has taken the Kaifeng Prefecture's judicial officer for no reason, and shot and killed Kaifeng Prefecture officials with a crossbow. The prefect can't sit idly by. If the government doesn't take action, then the prefect should take action. Don't you think so?"
"Um?"
Ma Yi became interested and asked, "What do you mean?"
"If the prefect brings all the Kaifeng Prefecture officials to the Imperial City Division to demand the release of someone, do you think the Imperial City Division will resort to using bows and crossbows to kill people as they did before?"
Liao Yu looked around at everyone and said, "If they don't dare, then let the prefect take them back. The Imperial City Administration will lose face and its prestige will be shattered. Bianliang City will still be under the jurisdiction of our Kaifeng Prefecture. If they dare, and a fourth-rank official dies in it, what a big fuss will it cause? Can the emperor still protect him?"
After saying this, Liao Yu's expression was full of gloom.
Everyone present thought about it carefully, looked at each other, and couldn't help but look solemn.
Although this move was cruel, it was the only option they had if they didn't want to suffer the same fate as Li Dewen and be captured by the Imperial City Guards who suddenly broke in.
