"As a child, how can you not want your parents to live a long life." Li Tai said with a smile to the eldest grandson.

"Tell me what's going on when you come to see me so late. Don't tell me, you're here to greet me. Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

"My father should know that some time ago, his son went to Yangzhou. Erchen came to see his father today, just to talk to his father about Yangzhou. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"Don't you say that I still want to ask you, I don't know how the Dong family offended you, and let you go thousands of miles to ruin the Dong family." Li Shimin asked Li Tai.

"What my father said would be wrong, if his Dong family hadn't done anything illegal and undisciplined. How can Erchen let a huge Dong family fall apart. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"If you're here to ask me for something about it. Then your purpose has been achieved, and I allow you to choose a few of the Dong family's treasures to bring back. It's a reward for you. Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

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

"If you want to say that others don't love money, I might believe it. said that you don't love money, I'm afraid that no one in the Manchu Dynasty will believe it. Of course, you can't look down on those treasures, because you have already taken all the Dong family's land for yourself. Li Shimin said after giving Li Tai a blank look.

"What Erchen wants to talk to his father today is not about the Dong family. It's another big thing. Li Tai immediately changed the topic and said to Li Shimin.

Hearing what Li Tai said so seriously, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel strange. So he opened his mouth and asked Li Tai: "Could it be that something earth-shattering happened in Yangzhou City." ”

Just when Erchen was about to return to Mozhou City, Zhao Bin, the assassin of Yangzhou, found Erchen. It is said that there have been population loss incidents in Yangzhou territory, and the number of people has reached more than 500 people. Li Tai opened his mouth and replied to Li Shimin.

Hearing Li Tai say that more than 500 people were missing in Yangzhou, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel shocked. So he asked: "Then why haven't I received it until now, the twist and turn of Yangzhou Thorn History." ”

"Father, it's not that Zhao Bin of Yangzhou was negligent in his duties, concealed the truth and refused to play. Instead, Erchen suppressed the matter. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"You've put this matter down, so it looks like you've solved the human loss case. I don't know what the hell is going on. Li Shimin asked Li Tai.

"Father." Li Tai looked at Li Shimin and said, and then glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids standing in the palace with his eyes.

Seeing Li Tai's expression, the eldest grandson Wujian said, "You are not needed here, you all retreat for the time being." No one is allowed to approach the imperial study without a summons from the palace and the emperor. ”

looked at all the eunuchs and palace maids, and they all withdrew. Li Tai said to Li Shimin: "The more than 500 people who were lost were not captured to work as coolies. Instead, they were soaked in poisoned water, ready to train them into an undead army. ”

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

Someone uses the people to refine the undead army, needless to say, he also knows that this person must be the ambition of the wolf. It can even be said that this person already has the intention of rebellion.

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

"Father, the son followed the Yangzhou assassin history for a few days to investigate, and finally found that these missing people may be locked up in the Qiling Temple outside Yangzhou City. So Erchen visited this Qiling Temple at night......" Subsequently, Li Tai told Li Shimin in detail what happened.

"You're usually safe, so why don't you leave a living mouth or two this time. but he slew them all. Wouldn't that cut off all the clues? Li Shimin asked Li Tai.

"Father, I listened to the words of the master of the Tang Sect Hall, there can only be five to ten of these more than five hundred people, and they have the opportunity to be refined into an immortal army. All the others will die in the poisoned water. ”

"Therefore, Erchen feels that there is definitely more than one place in refining the undead army. I'm afraid this is happening in other state capitals as well. It's just that they're a little more secretive. ”

"So Erchen thinks that it is not easy to startle the snake now. If the affairs of Yangzhou are publicly exposed, I am afraid that other places will become more secretive. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"I didn't expect this Tang Sect to be so ambitious. The last time I let them go, I didn't expect them to get even worse. Li Shimin clenched his fists and said angrily.

"Father, with the Tang Sect killing them, they don't dare to do this. And the retainers learned from the mouth of which hall master that there was still a person standing behind the Tang Gate. It was this person who controlled everything in the Tang Sect. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

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

"Returning to his father, the sons and daughters dare not speculate in vain. After all, the stakes are too high. Li Tai saluted Li Shimin and said.

"I know, don't mention this to anyone beforehand. Take care of your subordinates and let them stop talking about it. As for the history of Yangzhou Thorn, I will greet him. Li Shimin thought about it and said to Li Tai.

"In that case, the minister retired. Father, Emperor and Queen Mother, let's rest early. After Li Tai bowed deeply to Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, he withdrew from the imperial study.

Looking at the back of Li Tai leaving, the eldest grandson Wujian said to Li Shimin: "Erlang, if I guess correctly. Gao Jue should feel who the person behind this Tang Sect is. ”

That's why he wants to kill everyone. Because there are some things that he doesn't want me to embarrass me. Li Shimin sighed and said to the eldest grandson.

"Yes, not everyone will give up such an opportunity. It seems that Gao Jue still cares a lot about this brotherly relationship. The eldest grandson Wujian also sighed and said to Li Shimin.

In fact, at this time, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian had already guessed. Standing behind the Bashu Tang Gate is definitely a prince. And the biggest suspect is Li Ke, the king of Shu, after all, his fief is in Bashu.

Looking at Li Shimin's gloomy face, the eldest grandson Wujian said to Li Shimin: "Erlang, what are you going to do next." ”

"Gao Jue has already told me how to do it. That is to pretend not to know about it. I guess I'll give him a chance to mend his ways. Li Shimin said to the eldest grandson.

Although Li Shimin can give his children a chance to mend their ways. But it doesn't mean that you can let go of Tangmen.

After all, Li Shimin can't watch his people being poisoned like this. Therefore, Li Shimin called the general of the internal guard to his imperial study.

"Now the Bashu Tangmen has done something excessive. It has even been linked to the loss of people. You go and investigate them thoroughly, and if you find out that they are related to the missing persons, you don't need to interrogate everyone to make a decision. Li Tai said to the general of the Qianniu Internal Guard.
