The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 380 The King of Shu Li Ke Helplessly

"As a child, there is no one who doesn't want his parents to live a long life." Li Tai said to his eldest grandson Wugou with a smile.

"Tell me, what's the matter when you come to see me so late. Don't tell me, you came here specially to greet me." Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

"Father should know that I went to Yangzhou some time ago. I came to see Father today because I want to talk to Father about Yangzhou." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"If you don't tell me, I still want to ask you. I don't know how the Dong family offended you and let you travel thousands of miles to destroy the Dong family." Li Shimin asked Li Tai.

"Father's words are wrong. If the Dong family did not violate the law and discipline, how can I let the huge Dong family fall apart." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"If you came to ask me for a reward for this matter, then your goal has been achieved, and I allow you to choose a few of the Dong family's treasures to take back. It is a reward for you this time." Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

"Father, what you said is like how much I love money." Li Tai said to Li Shimin with an innocent expression.

"If you say that others don't love money, I might believe it. If you say you don't love money, I'm afraid no one in the civil and military courts will believe it. Of course, you don't look down on those treasures, because you have already taken away the Dong family's treasures. The land has been taken as his own." Li Shimin said after giving Li Tai a white look.

"What I want to talk to my father about today is not about the Dong family. It's about another important matter." Li Tai immediately changed the subject and said to Li Shimin.

Hearing what Li Tai said was so serious, Li Shimin couldn't help being surprised.So he opened his mouth and asked Li Tai, "Could it be that something earth-shattering happened in Yangzhou City?"

"Just when I was about to go back to Mozhou City, Zhao Bin, the governor of Yangzhou, found my son. He said that there have been incidents of population loss in Yangzhou, and the number of people has reached more than 500." Li Tai opened his mouth to answer Li Shimin.

Hearing Li Tai say that more than 500 people were missing in Yangzhou, Li Shimin couldn't help being extremely shocked.So he asked, "Then why haven't I received the memorial from the governor of Yangzhou?"

"Father, it's not that Zhao Bin, the governor of Yangzhou, neglected his duty and refused to report the truth by concealing the truth. It's because my minister suppressed the matter." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"You suppressed this matter, so it seems that you should have solved the missing population case. I don't know what happened." Li Shimin asked Li Tai.

"Father." Li Tai looked at Li Shimin and said, and then glanced at the eunuchs and maids standing in the bedroom.

Seeing Li Tai's expression, Changsun Wugou said, "You are no longer needed here, you all should step back for now. No one is allowed to approach the imperial study room without the summoning of my palace and the emperor."

Looking at all the eunuchs and maids, they all retreated.Li Tai said to Li Shimin: "The more than 500 people lost were not arrested to do coolies. They were soaked in poisonous water and prepared to train them into undead soldiers."

Li Tai's words instantly surprised Li Shimin.Li Shimin did not expect that this would be the result.

Someone used ordinary people to refine an undead army. Needless to say, this person must have the ambition of a wolf.It can even be said that this person already has the intention of treason.

"What exactly happened, tell me in detail." Li Shimin asked Li Tai with a gloomy face.

"Father, my son followed the governor of Yangzhou to investigate for a few days, and finally found that these missing people might be locked up in the Qiling Temple outside Yangzhou City. So I visited this Qiling Temple at night..." Afterwards, Li Tai told Li Shimin what happened in detail.

"You usually do things safely, why didn't you leave one or two alive this time, but killed them all. Doesn't this cut off all the clues." Li Shimin asked Li Tai.

"Father, I heard Tang Sect Master imply that there can only be five to ten of these 500 people, who have a chance to be refined into an undead army. The rest will all die in the poisonous water."

"That's why I feel that there is definitely more than one place that is refining the undead army. I am afraid that this happens in other state capitals. It's just that they do it more secretly."

"That's why I feel that it's not easy to scare the snake. If the incident in Yangzhou is disclosed publicly, it may make other places more secretive." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"I didn't expect that the Tang Sect would be so ambitious. Last time I let them go, I didn't expect them to get worse." Li Shimin clenched his fists and said angrily.

"Father, they dare not do this by relying on the Tang Sect to beat them to death. Moreover, my son learned from a hall master that there is a person standing behind the Tang Sect. It is this person who controls everything in the Tang Sect. .” Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"I don't know if you know who is behind this." Li Shimin asked, looking directly into Li Tai's eyes.

"Reporting to the emperor, I dare not speculate in vain. After all, this matter is too important." Li Tai saluted Li Shimin.

"I know, don't mention this to anyone beforehand. Take care of your subordinates and tell them not to mention this matter again. As for the governor of Yangzhou, I will greet him." Li Shimin said to Li Tai after thinking for a while Said.

"If that's the case, then the minister will leave. The emperor and the empress should also rest early." Li Tai bowed deeply to Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wugou, and then left the imperial study.

Looking at the back of Li Tai leaving, Changsun Wugou said to Li Shimin: "Erlang, if I guessed correctly, Gao Jue should have sensed who is behind the Tang Sect."

"That's why he wants to silence everyone. Because there are some things that he doesn't want me to embarrass." Li Shimin said to his elder grandson Wugou with a sigh.

"Yes, not everyone will give up such an opportunity. It seems that Gao Jue is still very concerned about this brotherhood." Changsun Wugou also sighed and said to Li Shimin.

In fact, Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou had already guessed it at this time.Standing behind the Bashu Tangmen is definitely a prince.The most suspected one is Li Ke, the king of Shu. After all, his fief is in Bashu.

Looking at Li Shimin's gloomy face, Changsun Wugou said to Li Shimin: "Erlang, what are you going to do next?"

"Gao Jue has already told me what to do. That is to pretend not to know about this matter. It can be regarded as giving him a chance to reform himself." Li Shimin said to his eldest grandson Wugou.

Although Li Shimin can give his children a chance to reform themselves.But it doesn't mean that Tangmen can be let go.

After all, Li Shimin can't watch his people being poisoned like this.So Li Shimin called the Great General of the Niu Neiwei to his imperial study.

"Nowadays, the Bashu Tang Sect is doing a little too much. It even has something to do with the missing persons. Go and investigate thoroughly for me immediately. Once you find out that they are related to the missing persons case, there is no need to interrogate everyone and make a decision." Li Tai To General Qianniu Neiwei.
