The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 41
In Yanfu Palace, Emperor Daojun looked at Zhao Tun with a kind and kind face, and said, "My son is here?"

Zhao Tong saluted and said: "Daddy looks better today, could it be that he has improved in cultivation?"

Emperor Daojun caressed his beard and said with a smile: "My son is used to talking, I feel relieved!"

Zhao Tong said: "It's a child's duty to relieve father's labor and worries, and the child is even more delighted."

The Emperor Daojun nodded, looked at Zhao Tun for a while, pointed to a pair of paperweight lions made of suet jade on the table, and said, "This was given to me by Captain Wang when I was not on the throne, and I have been with you for many years. , and there is another Yulong pen holder, which was also made by this craftsman, so I will give it to my second brother as a reward."

Zhao Tang looked at the paperweight lion, it was very well made, delicate and exquisite, he couldn't help thanking him and said: "Thank you daddy for the reward, I am very happy with this object, I wish I could keep it in front of my eyes to enjoy it all the time."

Emperor Daojun nodded: "Second brother, I called you to ask something today."

Zhao Tong said: "Daddy, please tell me, my son will listen carefully."

The Emperor Daojun was silent for a moment, and stood up from the dragon chair: "Second brother has been in the mansion for a long time, and now he is in charge of patrolling the inner and outer cities. You know...you know what is under the capital?"

Zhao Tun was stunned when he heard the words, and after thinking for a while, he said: "There are many ditches under the capital, criss-crossing. In terms of length, it may be as big as Kaifeng Mansion."

Emperor Daojun took the lotus whisker from behind the chair, held it in his arms and said, "Is there a ditch under this imperial city?"

Zhao Tong said: "Of course there are. Although this ditch is not an empty place, it is often narrow or wide, but it stretches extremely long, and there is no lack of it under the imperial city."

The Emperor Daojun said: "So that's the case. I think Tokyo has developed waterways and is close to the Yellow River, so it has to be built like this."

Zhao Tong said: "Father Shengming, I remember when I read the notes on the daily life of this dynasty, it said that Emperor Taizu had always wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, the capital of Xijing. The [-]% reason was that the terrain of Kaifeng was too flat, there was no danger to defend, and there were frequent floods. It was hanging on the head, but later it was delayed because of the convenience of grain storage.”

Emperor Daojun coughed lightly: "Earlier, I have seen it too, and I know the general idea, second brother, let me ask you, this underground trench is so deep and criss-crossed, can there be people living in it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tun immediately showed a struggling look on his face, and saw that the Emperor Daojun's face was gloomy, and then said: "Daddy, I dare not say it!"

Emperor Daojun said: "Second brother, why don't you dare to say it? Even if you don't say it, I know something. When the country was founded, troops were mobilized to suppress it. In recent years, Kaifeng Mansion has also arrested it, but it has not been eradicated, right?"

Zhao Tong said: "It's not just that the roots have not been eradicated, more and more criminals inside have become desperate, committed crimes, robbed and kidnapped people, and even divided factions and forces, just like a city under a city!"

Emperor Daojun frowned, stretched out his foot and stomped on the ground lightly: "Second brother, then under this imperial city..."

Zhao Tong took a step back and said politely: "Don't dare to hide from father, but there are criminals everywhere in the ditches, even under this imperial city, I'm afraid they won't be spared!"

When the Emperor Daojun heard the words, he immediately gasped, and said angrily: "Kaifeng Mansion should be damned, every year they suppress thieves, but they are perfunctory every year. Do you want me to lie on top of the thieves every night!"

Zhao Tun had a respectful expression and remained silent.

Emperor Daojun looked at him with eyes like electricity: "Second brother, can you relieve my worries?"

Zhao Tong said: "I would like to solve all my worries for Dad!"

"Okay, okay!" Daojun Emperor stroked his beard: "Send troops to suppress, one month... no, half a month later, I will never see a bandit underground!"

Zhao Tun said: "Yes, the boy takes orders!"

Emperor Daojun said: "Second brother, if this is done, I will reward myself."

Zhao Tong said: "Just to relieve father's worries, why are you greedy for rewards, just need to mobilize troops underground, it can't be said that the momentum is huge, I don't know all the gentlemen in the court..."

The Emperor Daojun flicked the lotus whisk in his hand, and said coldly: "Beside the couch, other people are snoring and sleeping, let alone a thief, I have the final say in this court!"

Hearing the words, Zhao Tang thought to himself that this plan really came true. It seems that Zhang Di did not hesitate to speak out, so that he could mobilize troops to destroy Gui Fanlou. He hurriedly said: "The child takes orders, and he will live up to his father's wishes!"

After a while, Zhao Tun left the palace and went straight to Suiyulou.

In the underground secret room of the Suiyu Building, Ouyang Bei was rubbing the blade against Zhu Xiaoyi's face, making the thief tremble like chaff.

Seeing Zhao Tun coming, Ouyang Bei hastily put away the blade and crossed his hands to salute.

Zhao Tong said: "But what did you ask?"

Ouyang Bei said: "Young master, Huang Louzhu and I took turns to interrogate. We used the method of boiling eagles taught by you, but this thief's knowledge is really limited. The specific location of the leader of Wuyou Cave is unknown."

Zhao Tong said: "Not busy, I'll ask him, you go and call Huang Gu over, and by the way, call the Ding brothers."

Ouyang Bei led the order to go out, Zhao Tong picked up the blueprint on the table, and said, "Zhu Xiaoyi, let me ask you again, there may be mistakes or omissions in this map."

Zhu Xiaoyi said weakly: "The real king, the little one dares not to lie to you, the little one grew up in the Ghost Fan Tower, but I don't know whose family the child was kidnapped, it's pitiful, now the real king wants to attack the Ghost Fan Tower The little ones wish they could help the king, so how dare they lie."

Zhao Tong said, "Is that true?"

Zhu Xiaoyi Si Si Ai Ai: "The young one has never read, but I can remember the land of the three families and the general population. It's just that if the underground passage in the painting is skewed, I don't blame the young one. It's really crooked and difficult to draw. "

Zhao Tong said: "I see in your picture, there are two kinds of entrances to the Huanxi Cave, divided into inside and outside, but what do you mean?"

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "Huanxi Grotto is engaged in the business of women and children. Those who are obedient are sold to the top, and those who are chaste and fierce are left to be trained by themselves. They also opened a brothel underground. They usually attract business, but they are indiscriminate. Those who come from the top Customers go through the outer entrance, and our own people use the inner entrance when going back and forth.”

Zhao Tong nodded, this Huanxi Cave not only trafficked and sold people, but also opened a brothel by itself, and could also solicit business on the ground, it has to be said to be daring.

"How about entering the brothel?"

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "The underground brothel is called the Huanxi Tower. People below can come and go as they please if they have money. As for the people above, they need to be introduced, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter."

Zhao Tong said: "I want to go, what method do I need?"

Zhu Xiaoyi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Could it be that the real king wants to pull the grass to find the snake? This is simple, the small one is familiar with the lock handle on that building, and the small one will lead the way. There is absolutely no problem."

Zhao Tong said: "What is the lock handle?"

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "It's the governor of Huanxi Building, who is in charge of welcoming and sending people up and down."

While talking, a few people came down from outside, but it was Huang Gu, Jian Suyi, Ouyang Bei, and the Ding brothers.

Several people greeted each other, Zhao Tang looked at the Ding brothers, these two are from Moshan Village, Songjiang Prefecture, they are called Ding Daxie, Ding Erxie, they are usually good at swimming in water and walking underground.

This underground walk is the work of the Tufuzi, the most historic site in Gyeonggi, the two came to do "business" around Kaifeng Mansion at that time, but unfortunately they got drunk and talked nonsense, and were caught by the store's reporter.

To do this kind of deed, he wanted to parade in the street to show the public, just happened to meet Zhao Tun, saw that they had such abilities, but did not commit any serious crimes, so he asked them to come here, and they were loyal, and they fell down in Suiyu Tower from then on. heel.
