Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

The reason I've violated the rules and mobilized the city guards this time is to help me. I hope you can give me a chance to live!"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Opportunities are something you have to fight for yourself. Zhao Tongpan, you should understand what I am saying, right?"

Zhao An heaved a sigh of relief and knelt down, saying, "Sir, I am reporting that the prefect, Zheng Qian, is plotting a rebellion!"

"Is there any evidence?"

"Have!"

Song Xuan glanced at Sima Wei, who was standing aside with his eyes and nose looking at his mouth, as if he heard nothing, and felt amused.

This old Taoist is an interesting person.

In order to save his friend, he planned to sacrifice the prefect Zheng Qian.

At that moment, he gave an order to Captain Wang, and a dozen black-clothed guards followed Zhao An to the prefect's residence. Not long after, everyone came back in a hurry.

Captain Wang came up to Song Xuan and whispered, "Sir, we found hundreds of bows, crossbows, armor, and other equipment. In addition, we also found a large number of silver bills, land deeds, gold leaves, silver winter melons, etc.

As for valuable items such as gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and antiques, there are countless of them.”

Song Xuan waved his hand and said, "Get to the point!"

Captain Wang immediately understood that it seemed that the Inspector General was not interested in these riches.

Yes, he is a top-level young master from the imperial capital, and also a great master of the time. With Lord Song's power, money, women and other things are probably what he has the most of.

"Sir, in the secret compartment of Zheng Qian's official residence, I discovered the dragon robe and a note with the insinuation of treason, 'The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky must be established.' The handwriting has been verified and is indeed Zheng Qian's."

Song Xuan glanced at Zhao An. This guy was quite capable. He had gathered all the evidence in such a short time, even the letter that showed the prefect colluding with various forces to rebel. He was quite capable.

Apart from anything else, making a dragon robe in a short period of time is not an easy task.

"Suppress it and put them all in jail first!"

Patting Captain Wang on the shoulder, Song Xuan instructed, "Prepare the evidence thoroughly and prove Zheng Qian's crime of treason to me. Don't make any mistakes."

"As for Zhao An, he has been meritorious in reporting the case, so he will be held in solitary confinement for the time being. Remember to record his statement!"

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

Captain Wang was extremely excited.

They raided the prefectural government office and handled a major case of treason at the same time. This is a great achievement!

In the future, whether it is promotion in rank or striving for a position of real power in the Xuanyi Guard, you will have sufficient qualifications!

"grown ups!"

Beside Captain Wang, the younger Captain who had previously suggested taking the Qingcheng Sect as a subsidiary force spoke again.

Song Xuan had a very good impression of him and said with a smile: "If you have something to say, just tell me directly!"

"Sir, the interrogation doesn't require too many people. The brothers are idle anyway. Prefect Zheng Qian is colluding with several evil forces in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas and intends to rebel. Why don't I take the men and wipe them all out?"

Song Xuan looked him up and down. This young captain was very proactive.

It's almost like the words "I want to improve" are written on his face.

Song Xuan likes subordinates who are young, motivated, and have minds full of ideas about making achievements.

If his subordinates work harder, he, as a boss, can relax more. If everyone can be as thoughtful and hardworking as this person, he can feel at ease and slack off when he takes over the position of commander in the future.

"what's your name?"

The young captain's face lit up with joy, and he immediately bowed and said, "Sir, I am Dong Tianbao!"

"Dong Tianbao?"

Song Xuan felt that this name seemed familiar to him. "I see traces of Shaolin martial arts on you. Are you from Shaolin?"

Dong Tianbao said, "Your Excellency, I once studied martial arts at the Shaolin Temple in Songshan when I was young, and I am a lay monk of Shaolin."

When he said this, Song Xuan immediately reacted.

Isn’t Dong Tianbao the villain in the movie Tai Chi Master?

Song Xuan looked at him carefully, and it turned out that this person looked a bit like the one in the movie.

"Do you have a good brother named Zhang Junbao?"

"Zhang Junbao?"

Dong Tianbao recalled carefully and shook his head with some regret, "Sir, I don't know any Zhang Junbao."

Song Xuan nodded, not surprised.

After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty is a fusion of various martial arts worlds. Zhang Sanfeng in this world is over a hundred years old, so naturally he would have no intersection with Dong Tianbao, who looks to be in his thirties.

"Sir, what do you think of the suggestion I just made?"

Song Xuan nodded and smiled, "Since you have an idea, then do it!

Cracking down on gangs and evil and providing the people with a safe living environment is one of the responsibilities of our Xuanyiwei!

I have only one request: seek truth from facts!

We must not let any evil forces that harm the people go unpunished, but we cannot wrongly accuse a good person!

If I find out that you have tortured and tortured people into confessing and killed innocent people in pursuit of merit, I will skin you alive!

Remember? "

Dong Tianbao immediately bowed and accepted the order, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely remember your teachings and follow the principle of seeking truth from facts in everything I do. I swear to serve you until my death!"

Song Xuan nodded and smiled, "I don't care what you say, I only care what you do.

Go ahead, don’t let me down!”

Song Xuan would naturally support officials like Dong Tianbao who wanted to work hard and make progress.

But at the same time, those who need warnings should also be warned, so that they know what their bottom line is. If they cross this bottom line in order to climb up, cramps and skinning will be the least of their problems!

Watching Dong Tianbao leading his troops away, Captain Wang was full of envy.

For so long, the adults haven't even asked my name, but this kid He Tianbao has come from behind and is valued by the adults.

Lucky boy, if you do a good job in this campaign against organized crime and are remembered by the Inspector, your meteoric rise to fame is just around the corner!

Chapter 302 Song Xuan: That’s right, I am the Lord of Justice!

On November 11, 305 of the Great Zhou calendar, all the major counties in Sichuan and Chongqing welcomed a sleepless night.

Many years later, local people can still remember that from that day on, the public security in the Sichuan-Chongqing area underwent a drastic change, and they have lived without fear ever since.

Under the order of the Inspector General Song Xuan, a special operation to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil was established, led by the Xuanyiwei Qianhusuo of Sichuan and Chongqing Prefecture, in conjunction with the surrendered city guards and screened and qualified constables.

Song Xuan's purpose for this operation was very clear, which was to deal a devastating blow to all kinds of evil forces in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas.

As for what the evil forces are, Song Xuan gave clear instructions.

Acts that disrupt social order, such as bullying, extortion, gathering crowds to cause trouble, forming gangs to fight, bullying the weak, collecting protection fees, trafficking children and women, forcing women into prostitution, opening underground casinos, murder and looting, robbery and rape, are all classified as evil forces.

According to Song Xuan's instructions, you cannot kill innocent people to claim credit, but you cannot let anyone go either. As long as there is a suspect, arrest them all first!

For this operation, the Xuanyiwei summoned troops from the Qianhu Division and mobilized thousands of Xuanyiwei cavalry from various county towns. They joined forces with the city guards and the chief constables of each city, totaling up to 30,000 people. They launched a dragnet-style investigation with the provincial capital as the center and moving outwards.

At night, after dinner, people could occasionally see the Xuanyiwei troops wandering around the city.

At first, many people didn't take it seriously. After all, the city was too big, and more than a thousand people were not noticeable in such a huge city.

But in the middle of the night, the streets of the city were filled with the sound of horse hooves, mixed with the collision of weapons and shrill roars. Many people woke up from their dreams, not knowing what was happening.

Watching the fun is a nature ingrained in people. Many people lost all desire to sleep and opened their doors, cautiously going out to find out the news.

Then, in their sight, all the gang members and street thugs who were arrogant and domineering were captured by the Xuanyi Guards. Those who dared to resist were beheaded in the street and then thrown on the donkey carts pulling corpses.

After daybreak, the Sichuan and Chongqing provincial capitals returned to peace again. If it weren't for some yamen runners busy cleaning the bloodstains on the ground, it seemed as if nothing had happened last night.

The campaign launched by the Xuanyi Guards to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil became a hot topic among the people in the city.

Of course, the good reputation of Lord Song, the Inspector of the Xuanyi Guard, was spread by word of mouth among the people in the city and soon became well-known.

The common people did not know much, but they understood that a great judge had come to defend the people. At that moment, many people who had been persecuted by evil forces began to flock to the Qianhu Suo Yamen, either to report, to seek justice, or to submit evidence.

Captain Wang and others were busy as hell. They had been inactive for many years and this was the first time they encountered such a big scene. If the Inspector had not been in the yamen in person, he would have felt at a loss.

The special campaign to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil lasted for nearly half a month, radiating from the provincial capitals of Sichuan and Chongqing to counties and prefectures across the country. The imperial jails and prisons in various places were overcrowded, and they had to temporarily build some huts to detain some prisoners with lighter sentences.

On this day, Dong Tianbao returned from outside the city in high spirits. As soon as he arrived at the Qianhu Suo Yamen, he hurried to the office where Song Xuan was.

"Sir, I am here to report the case to you!"

Song Xuan nodded, "Tell me!"

Dong Tianbao said: "Your Excellency, during this campaign, we have eliminated 158 gangs, killed nearly 10,000 rebels on the spot, and arrested over 7,000 people.

In addition, this major cleanup and rectification campaign also solved over 3000 major homicide cases that had been piled up over the years, apprehended over 2300 criminals who committed serious injuries and murders, and over 5,000 other criminals.”

“Your Excellency should also be aware that the evil forces are only the external manifestation, and there must be a protective umbrella behind them.

During this operation, I captured more than 800 government officials from various places, among whom more than 300 stubborn resisters were beheaded on the spot.

Due to the urgency of the matter, I did not have time to report to you, my Excellency. I have come to apologize to you."

Song Xuan waved his hand, "You did a great job, why are you asking for apology?"

"You will continue to be responsible for the subsequent finishing work of the house search."

After a moment's hesitation, Song Xuan said, "Sweeping away gangs and eliminating evil is not something that can be solved in one go, but must be sustained over the long term.

Later, the Xuanyiwei will go deep into each village to eliminate the problem of ruffians and village bullies oppressing the people, restore order, and allow the people to live and work in peace!

I will not stay here for too long, but even if I return to the imperial capital, I will keep an eye on the affairs here.

If you encounter any difficulties or obstacles, please inform the Imperial Capital Inspection Office immediately and I will make the decision for you!"

Dong Tianbao was overjoyed when he heard this. He had been working almost without sleep for the past half month, always at the forefront of the fight against organized crime, all for the sake of what the adults said.

You can write to the adults to report your work at any time. To put it bluntly, this is something that reaches the heavens directly!

"Thank you for your support, sir. I am willing to serve you as your henchman and swear to be loyal to you until death."

Song Xuan nodded and smiled, "There's no need to say more about your loyalty. I only look at how you act, not how you speak.

I have always been a man of honor, rewarding those who have done good and punishing those who have done bad. You did a good job this time. What reward do you want?"

Dong Tianbao's heart was pounding, but he suppressed the strong desire in his heart to ask the adults to give him a master-level martial arts book.

He knew in his heart that even though this matter was done well, it was because there was a master who was at the level of a grandmaster in charge, so there was no need to worry about any problems.

To put it bluntly, he was just a knife, fulfilling his duties under the command of adults.

If he really dares to ask for a master-level martial art, even if the Lord gives it to him because of his previous promise, the relationship between him and the Lord will fade in the future.

No one likes a subordinate who doesn't know when to advance or retreat.

"Working for you is my duty, my Lord. How dare I ask for any reward? However, you have been busy with me for so long. I hope you will show some sympathy and report this to the capital to reward me."

Song Xuan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. Just take care of the subsequent work of confiscating the property. I will make arrangements for the future."

"As for you, I will naturally give you what you deserve. Just do your job well!"

Dong Tianbao suppressed a smile and said, "Sir, I have received news that the prefect Zheng Qian has traveled south from the state capital and is nearing the Sichuan and Chongqing prefectures.

In addition to the guards around him, he also accompanied him with masters recruited from the martial arts world.

In addition, Captain Gao Changlin also accompanied them.

Please tell me, sir, when will we start arresting them?"

Chapter 303: Is the Emperor about to die?

Song Xuan tapped his fingers on the seat.

"In the Qianhu Suo Yamen, there are several secret rooms where martial arts masters are in seclusion. Do you know these people?"

"I don't know much."

Dong Tianbao pondered and said, “These people have never shown up since I joined the company. They all seem to be quite old and want to fight for the Grandmaster level before they turn 100.

However, I have heard that the commander-in-chief is not optimistic about these people and does not think they have any hope."

Song Xuan recalled when he first came to the Qianhu Suo Yamen. He had used his spiritual sense to investigate the situation and had some understanding of those masters who were in seclusion.
