Catching these people is not the end of the matter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

If something as highly profitable as Wushisan can't be effectively stopped, someone will definitely go forward to follow suit, so Tang Zhou will do it if he wants to.

He glanced at Brother Tian and asked, "Where did you buy Wushisan?" ”

Although Brother Tian was arrested, his mouth was very hard, and in the face of Tang Zhou's inquiry, he didn't want to be completely at the mercy of Tang Zhou, so after he snorted, he didn't say anything.

Seeing Brother Tian like this, Tang Zhou's brows condensed slightly, and then waved his hand, and after the official next to him understood, he stepped forward to slap Brother Tian, and after the fight was over, Brother Tian was beaten and vomited blood.

But even so, he still refused to say.

What do they plan to gain by doing what they do?

Seeing Brother Tian like this, Tang Zhou suddenly smiled.

"Ben Hou Ye has interrogated many people, I thought you should know the methods of this Hou Ye, I didn't want to use these punishments by scraping bones to cure poison and falling stones, but you have to be like this, then don't blame Ben Hou for being very hearty, come here, first scrape his bones to cure the poison, and then the water will come out."

After Tang Zhou finished speaking, a servant immediately stepped forward and lifted Brother Tian's sleeve, and then took out a knife and roasted it on the fire, and after the knife was red, he suddenly cut off a piece of the person on Brother Tian's arm.

Cutting meat with a knife, what a painful thing, Brother Tian couldn't help but scream, that kind of pain could make his bone marrow boil.

But this is only the most basic, the most important thing is to scrape the bones to cure the poison, and the bones are still scraped, and the bones have not been seen yet, so the pain is only the most basic now.

When the official was about to strike again, Brother Tian suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Don't ...... Don't, I say, I'll say anything. ”

This result was expected by Tang Zhou, no one could resist his punishments, unless he was a dead man.

"Tell me, where did you buy these five stones?"

"It's a small country in the Western Regions, but we don't need to run there, they will bulk the five stones to Datang, and every time we just need to bring the money to that trading place."

"Where is that place?"

"In Tu County, a small city on the border with Tuyuhun."

Tang Zhou bowed his head, and then asked some specific things about how to find those people, and then Tang Zhou asked: "In addition to you people, I know that you also have people who are responsible for sending Wushisan to some wealthy businessmen and officials in the Tang Dynasty, and tell them all about the situation of these people. ”

Not only did Tang Zhou have to completely cut off the source of Wushisan, but Tang Zhou also had to understand the officials and wealthy businessmen who had come here to take Wushisan, after all, how to deal with them was a big problem.

Originally, taking Wushisan was a personal matter, and Tang Zhou was not easy to manage, but if an official took Wushisan, it would be tantamount to supporting Brother Tian's behavior in disguise, allowing him to make a profit and infringe on the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, can these officials continue to be good officials after taking Wushisan?

Therefore, these people must be punished, and the key depends on how to punish them.

Brother Tian didn't dare to resist Tang Zhou anymore, so he naturally explained everything to Tang Zhou, and after Tang Zhou wrote them down one by one, he ordered someone to leave with these people.

------------------------------

After returning to the government, Tang Zhou took a closer look at the list, there were one or two hundred people on the list, but most of them were wealthy businessmen, and there were only dozens of officials, and the official positions of these officials were large and small.

Tang Zhou knew that many of these people didn't want to take Wushisan at first, they were deceived by so-called friends into taking it, and as a result, they couldn't quit after taking it, which eventually led to the current result.

Perhaps many of these people are also very miserable now, and they want to quit, but they can't quit.

It's just that Tang Zhou doesn't know who these people are.

After some thought, Tang Zhou decided to go to the palace.

Palace.

As the weather gradually improved, Li Shimin's health also improved, but it was incomparable with before taking Tianzhu Holy Medicine, Li Shimin saw Tang Zhou coming, but showed a smile and asked, "What happened to Tang Aiqing entering the palace?" ”

Tang Zhou told Li Shimin about Wushisan, Li Shimin was deeply tortured by Tianzhu holy medicine, and now he heard that Wushisan was popular in the Tang Dynasty, and couldn't help but be angry, and said: "Those who sell Wushisan, all killed, not a single one is left, all officials are demoted, and rich businessmen must also be punished, without the patronage of these people, how can Wushisan exist." ”

Li Shimin was really angry, Wushisan was similar to Tianzhu Holy Medicine, and he knew very well that if more and more people took Wushisan, Datang's combat effectiveness would collapse.

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Tang Zhou hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Shengshang, those who sell Wushi San should indeed be killed, this minister has no objection, but there are many officials involved in this matter, and they are all demoted at once, I am afraid that the impact will be very bad and it will cause chaos." ”

Many positions are indispensable, and now that Datang is in this situation, he can't demote many officials at once, Li Shimin was very angry at first, and he didn't want to consider what Tang Zhou said, but soon he realized that his energy was not as good as before, and he couldn't make such a large-scale mobilization, so after pondering for a while, he asked: "Then in Tang Aiqing's opinion, how should this matter be handled?" ”

"To distinguish between them, if the circumstances of these officials are minor and they are willing to repent, they can be treated for their addiction to Wushisan first, and they can be temporarily replaced, and then demoted after finding a suitable person to replace them, after all, such people can't stay in the official position for too long, which will affect the image of my Datang, and if the circumstances are serious, they will be demoted immediately."

If the circumstances are serious, they can't extricate themselves from taking Wushi San, this kind of person's body and mind have already been hollowed out, and if they want to contribute to the imperial court, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult.

Li Shimin thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, everything will be done according to what you say, this matter will be handled carefully, but if those officials are too much, don't be polite, I look down on these people the most." ”

Tang Zhou received the order again and again, and then said: "In addition, the minister also wants to send people to Tuxian to wipe out all the merchants in the Western Regions who sell Wushisan there, only in this way can we always get rid of the troubles, and the imperial court should also issue some forbidden decrees, so that my Tang Dynasty can report a strong combat effectiveness." ”

Li Shimin knew very well what Tang Zhou meant, this kind of thing must not be spread to the army, so it is necessary to strengthen precautions in the army, and the reason why this is so is because several of the officials in Tang Zhou's list are important in the army.

"Okay, you and the prince can do this with the prince, you can't be merciful, for this kind of person who violates my Tang Dynasty, you must let them suffer and dare not commit it again, especially those merchants in the Western Regions, after catching it, they will be killed immediately to set an example."
