Di Yingyang frowned a little strangely: "Those people in Guifan Tower have been causing harm to the capital for many years. Even your street department has hundreds of cases related to them, right? This arrest is even more difficult." Why are you talking to me about the benefits of your duties?"
After hearing this question, Zhao Kangming smiled and shook his head. He took a glass of wine and took a sip of wine. Then he said: "You also said that they have been causing trouble to Tokyo for many years. That means they have various ways of protecting themselves. Is it so easy to eliminate them? To tell you the truth, in the past two years, our colleagues in the Street Department also made great efforts to deal with them, but the result was that not only did they lose many brothers, but also several people who advocated handling the case were killed. My colleagues all got involved, otherwise brother, I wouldn’t have been able to sit in Sicheng’s position so easily.
"To tell you something that shouldn't be said, Wei Sizheng, our street secretary, has been telling us to turn a blind eye to that ghost Fan Lou. If he finds out about this, I'm afraid he won't be able to live with it."
"I didn't expect that you, Zhao Shisan, are such a short-sighted person. Since you are in your position, you should fulfill your duties..."
Before Di Yingyang could finish what he said, Zhao Kangming waved his hand and said: "It sounds easy for you to say it, but you still have to have the strength to do it. I, Zhao Kangming, am just one of the three chief ministers of the Street Department. Once a large number of people are really mobilized to handle the case and arrest people, I am afraid that Wei Sizheng will have known about it for a long time. Let alone handling the case, he will not be able to protect himself." After a pause, he smiled again: "Of course, everything can be discussed. If there is really a greater benefit, it wouldn't be too difficult for me to take a risk."
Di Yingyang's expression suddenly changed, from anger to laughter, and he shook his head: "You are still the same as before, always like to calculate the interests to the extreme. In this case, I won't hide it anymore. On the surface, this matter is true It's a bit risky, but once it's done, the benefits are obvious. Capturing the ghosts of Fanlou Xiaoxiao who have been causing harm to the capital for many years is a real achievement. I can't say how many levels you will be promoted, but taking it a step further and directly taking charge of the Street Department is a real achievement. A breeze.
"You also said that Wei Ran, the street secretary, is always protecting them. It's obvious that he has colluded with these thieves. As long as we capture these guys, we can testify against Wei Ran and let you replace him. . And I believe that with the strength of your family, Zhao Shisan, it will not be difficult to do this. In addition, this is also a great opportunity for you to become famous in the capital. Do you still remember Zhongyu, the former secretary of the Street Department? He was appreciated by His Majesty because of his ability to wipe out the minors in the capital, and was eventually granted the title of magistrate. If you can perform like this, you will be able to obtain fame, wealth and official positions, and your future will be boundless."
"Zhong Yu?" Zhao Kangming's eyes also flashed with yearning. He was indeed quite envious of this senior. At that time, he was still hanging out in the Forbidden Army. Now that he mentioned it, he couldn't help but feel moved: "This Is it really possible? I know that Gui Fanlou has a big backer, and it is not something that ordinary people can handle."
"I won't hide it from you. It is Yuehou who wants to do this. Many years ago, he filled culverts in the capital and wiped out thousands of thieves. So what if he wants to do it again today? The truth? The opportunity is right in front of you. It depends on whether you have the courage to seize it." Di Yingyang's eyes were fixed on the other party, and they were so bright that they were a bit scary.
Zhao Kang
Ming lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and finally nodded: "As long as it can really happen, of course our street department is willing to do our part. I dare not say more than that. I can still mobilize a thousand soldiers. I just don't know this. Are there enough people and horses?”
"A thousand people? It's not too many, but it's enough. In that case, I'd like to thank you Thirteen. Come on, let me toast you and wish us success in due time." Di Yingyang then He smiled happily, raised his glass against it, and drank the wine in the glass.
The two discussed some details and agreed to say hello after confirming the time, before Di Yingyang left in a hurry. But what is a bit strange is that Zhao Kangming did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in the room eating and drinking. After a while, the door was pushed open, and an unexpected person came in - Di Huchen.
Seeing Di Huchen come in, Zhao Kangming still looked casual: "These are all your brothers have eaten and drank. If you don't mind, you can eat some more."
But Di Huchen shook his head: "Forget it, what do you say?"
"Sure enough, it's your good brother-in-law who wants to take action. I really didn't expect him to be so courageous. He is already in a lot of trouble and he actually wants to take action against Gui Fanlou."
"He is such a character who likes to take the initiative and uses offense as defense. In comparison, sometimes we are indeed too timid and a little too forward-thinking."
"Oh, isn't there nothing we can do? We all have families to take care of, who dares to act rashly." As he said that, Zhao Kangming frowned again: "But there is a big guy hiding behind that ghost fan building. If we help him like this, nothing will happen?"
"I thought this was an excellent opportunity. Maybe I could use this opportunity to drag that man down. Even if I couldn't knock him down, I could still bite off two pieces of his flesh! We've been holding it back for the past few years. We have suffered enough, and they say they are joining forces to fight for me in the Song Dynasty, but what is the result? They have always just talked about it, but in reality, they are worse than Sun Tu, who has no background and no qualifications." At this point. , Di Huchen's eyes had a sparkle, which was very different from the usually steady one.
"Since you have said so, let's give it a try. My position is not important anyway. Even if I am really involved in this situation, it has nothing to do with the overall situation." Zhao Kangming chuckled, looking indifferent.
"Who said your position is not important? Not only your position, but you are indispensable to us!" Di Huchen immediately straightened his face and said: "Although we brothers will not get involved in this matter, But as long as you are really in trouble, no one will just sit back and watch. So just go ahead and do it without any worries!"
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved." Zhao Kangming laughed, his eyes full of excitement.

"That's nonsense! Even though I am the Minister of Punishment, I can't make the decision on my own and send people to arrest some fictitious bandits!" After hearing his son's request, Wei Daozhang, the Minister of Punishment, darkened his face, half refusing, half saying He said scoldingly: "Don't be instigated by others and just think of doing such lawless things!"
"Sir, this is not something lawless. On the contrary, it is for the benefit of the people.
The important thing is to maintain the majesty of the king's law! "Wei Yanei, who used to be a little timid in front of his father, behaved quite boldly today, and even called him a more formal "sir".
Seeing his father's expression change slightly, he continued: "The thieves in Wuyou Cave have done many evil things in the capital on weekdays. Even as a son, I have heard a lot about it. How could you, sir, not know about it when you are in the Ministry of Punishment? ? The Ministry of Punishment is supposed to be responsible for exorcising evil and promoting good, but now it actually lets these villains do what they want. Don’t you think this is ridiculous?"
"You... are just talking nonsense. The imperial court has its own laws and overall situation. How can you, a child with a yellow mouth, say whatever you want?" Wei Langzhong's face turned darker and he immediately shouted.
"Yes, my son has indeed been ignorant over the years, but this time he has never been sober. In the army, I saw too many things that I had never seen before. Those brothers all practiced hard. In order to eliminate Evil can be done at all costs, even if those evil thieves have backers. My son has never done anything serious in the past, but this time, I want to use practical actions to tell the world that I, Wei Cheng, am also a real man who stands upright. I will bear all the dangers!"
"You..." Wei Daozhang's chest rose rapidly at his son's words, but somehow, after a moment, his originally angry face calmed down.
"Sir, why did you seek to become an official for ten years? Is it for the so-called official power, or do you have other ambitions? Over the years, have you ever thought about what you can do for the people of the Song Dynasty to leave a lasting name? Is it about Qingshi?" The son continued talking, but the father no longer knew how to respond. Yes, my ideals and ambitions back then seemed to have been thrown aside as my official position continued to rise. No justice and laws seemed to be comparable to promotion and official contacts. This made him more and more constrained in his actions, and he even made many mistakes, and was caught by the censor Zhongcheng Wang Shenbin, causing him to be constrained everywhere...
Unconsciously, his expression softened: "Have you really made up your mind to fight those thieves at all costs?"
"Yes, the people of the capital have been in trouble for a long time. Now that I have the opportunity, my son will not let it go."
Seeing his incompetent son say these awe-inspiring words, Wei Shilang suddenly laughed: "It seems that the Marquis of Yue does have some abilities. He can actually make a scoundrel like you start to want to make contributions. Okay, As a father, I will help you this time. As long as the time comes, my people under the Criminal Department will try their best to cooperate!"
"Thank you, sir, for your support. I will definitely live up to your high expectations." Wei Cheng was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists solemnly and promised loudly.
"Hey, you brat..." Wei Shilang also had an inexplicable color flashing in his eyes. After many years, it was time for him to show off his skills.
At the same time, in the Kaifeng Mansion, several police officers also gathered around Cui Lueshang. Everyone's faces were flashing with excitement: "If this matter is successful, everyone will be a meritorious minister. Since it is the intention of the Marquis of Yue , we naturally want to help!"
All forces in Tokyo have formed an alliance, and a big net has been completely formed. They are just waiting for the time to come!
