Zhao Jun woke up more than an hour later. He was lying in his home, surrounded by Cao Xiu, Di Qing and others.
"Chisi."
When everyone saw him get up from the bed, they all gathered around him.
Zhao Jun just straightened up, leaned against the head of the bed, looked ahead with somewhat empty eyes, and said nothing.
Cao Xiu knew that today's events might have had a great impact on him. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and said, "Chief Zhi, arrest all the people. Kill the twenty-three who resisted, and the rest didn't escape."
"Where are the victims?"
Zhao Jun didn't care much about the people in Wuyou Cave. Dying on the spot was the best relief for them.
“It has been properly accommodated.”
Cao Xiu replied, "There are thirty-one of them. The Imperial City Office doesn't have that many offices, so I found a friend and borrowed his house to house them and assigned someone to guard them."
"Have you called a doctor?"
"Yes."
"Can Ping'er be saved?"
"It can't be saved."
"Why?"
"She has been kept in a bottle since she was young. There is a switch at the bottom of the bottle for excretion. Her body is curled up and extremely fragile. If the bottle is forced open, she may die."
"Is that so?"
Zhao Jun murmured to himself, then said, "What about mother-in-law?"
Cao Xiu said, "Wuyou Cave has a special group of prostitutes, but they only work during the day, either kidnapping girls or acting as matchmakers or matchmakers. They all live outside, and the guards have already arrested them."
"Um."
Zhao Jun just responded briefly, still seemingly in shock.
At this moment, several more people came in from outside the door, led by the eunuch Wang Shouzhong, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Wang Shouzhong saw Zhao Jun's distraught look and hurried over with his head lowered and said, "Young Master, what's wrong? The Emperor was very worried when he heard that he had fainted, so he sent the imperial physician over."
"fine."
Zhao Jun waved his hands, suddenly feeling that life was meaningless. He said to Wang Shouzhong, "Report what needs to be reported to the emperor. I'm going to kill some people. I'll knock Liao Yu's teeth out one by one about that princess. If he doesn't tell the truth, his men will."
"yes."
Wang Shouzhong actually already knew something, so he lowered his head and left silently.
Zhao Jun got up from the bed, nodded and said, "Let's go."
"Xiao Lang."
Di Qing, the iron-hearted man, was still filled with resentment at this moment. He said, "If you want to wipe out Wuyou Cave, please let me go."
"Yeah, don't worry."
Zhao Jun forced a smile and said, "I will deal with the Wuyou Cave matter later. First, clean up the dirt on the surface, and then start dealing with the underground."
Although he was extremely angry, he did not lose his mind.
This time, only a branch outside Wuyou Cave was wiped out. According to Chazi's report, Wuyou Cave has thousands of people and more than 20 branches. They are powerful and occupy the criss-crossing underground waterways, making them extremely difficult to wipe out.
In history, people like Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng had also launched sieges against Wuyou Cave, Guifan Tower and other forces, but they were repelled every time they attacked and were unable to clear them out.
It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that the Mongols forced water into the underground city, flooding it and completely destroying Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower.
From this we can see that dealing with this cancer is definitely not an easy task.
In order to truly solve this problem, in addition to the Imperial City Administration, it is necessary to unite the forces of Kaifeng Prefecture, Dali Temple, and even the Imperial Guards to achieve it completely.
But now Kaifeng Prefecture and Dali Temple may become a hindrance, so Zhao Jun must clean up these things that are holding him back. Otherwise, once these people tip off the rats below and tell the other party about the actions of the Imperial City Division, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Moreover, Kaifeng Prefecture itself is the umbrella and superior of underground evil forces such as Wuyou Cave and Guifanlou. These people are easier to deal with in public, and their crimes are in our hands. If we don’t deal with them first, who else should we deal with?
"Call the Imperial City Guards!"
"Chief Zhi, please allow me to return to the Imperial Dragon Headquarters of the Palace Guard to deploy the troops!"
"Go ahead and follow the original plan. Arrest the people and search their homes. Where are they now?"
"They are all in Kaifeng government office right now."
"Besiege Kaifeng Prefecture."
"yes!"
Cao Xiu, Di Qing and others responded one by one.
Zhao Jun led the team personally out of Qingtai Street, and teams of Imperial City Guards appeared behind him.
The power of Kaifeng Prefecture was actually not weak. It included the two Chi counties of Kaifeng and Xiangfu. There were also thousands of yamen runners such as the station guards, the police, and the militia. Together with the Imperial City Administration and the Dali Temple, they jointly maintained the public security in Bianliang.
However, the Imperial City Bureau previously only had the power of inspection, and when encountering a case, it had to report it to Kaifeng Prefecture and the Dali Temple, so it could only be considered as assisting rather than taking the lead.
But now that the Imperial City Bureau has strengthened its authority, it has gradually replaced the role of Kaifeng Prefecture. A large number of guards have begun to patrol the streets, and the backlog of cases in Kaifeng Prefecture has also been slowly transferred to the Imperial City Bureau, which seems to be a replacement.
Following Zhao Jun's order, all the Imperial City Guards in the city were mobilized, fully armed with bows and crossbows, knives, armor, and ladders. Some captains each led a hundred people, divided into more than ten teams, and rushed to the homes of Liu Yuanzhi, Ma Yi, Gao Dingyi, Liao Yu and others. The remaining more than 2,000 people rushed directly to the Kaifeng government office.
The Kaifeng government office was not far from Qingtai Street, but was located within the Shangshu Province in the southwest corner of the imperial court. Originally, it was located northwest of Junyi Bridge Street, south of the Bian River, next to the Censorate. Since Zhao Guangyi had served as the prefect of Kaifeng, he moved the Kaifeng government office to the Shangshu Province after he became emperor.
