The next situation was as Li Shimin expected, only five days later, the imperial court concluded the case of selling prohibited materials on the black market with the speed of chopping melons and vegetables, which was so fast that people suspected that it was a dream.

The Tiger Warehouse and the Tianjiu Commercial Bank were indeed regarded as the targets of the Son of Heaven and were punished heavily.

First of all, the two families will each be fined 18 million yuan, and they will have to collect all the warehousing - which is almost equivalent to all the assets of the two families.

Secondly, the vast majority of the shopkeepers of the two families, and even the stewards below, were sentenced to heavy sentences, some of them were beheaded on the street, and some of them were exiled to Lingnan.

Li Shimin guessed that on the one hand, the two were indeed involved in the case, and at least forty percent of the materials purchased by the Demon Dragon Babu were obtained from Tiger Cang and Tianjiu Commercial Bank. This sentence is by no means unjust.

On the other hand, it has to do with their background. The Tiger Warehouse is the property of the Duke of Chu, but the Son of Heaven has always been worried about Yang Su and his descendants. Now that he has seized this opportunity, he is naturally willing to start and cut off one of the arms of the Duke of Chu.

And Tianjiu Commercial Bank, this is from several close branches of the imperial court, among which Yang Hao, the king of Qin, Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, and even Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, have all participated.

This will inevitably make the Son of Heaven suspicious, especially when Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, accounts for 30% of the shares in Tianjiu Commercial Bank.

These royal relatives and nobles are raised by high-ranking officials of the imperial court, who are good at wine and meat, what do they want so much money for? Are they also in collusion with Yang Yun and have a heart of disobedience?

Of course, the other dozen or so, in the same way, in addition to paying back the commercial tax, almost every one of them was heavily fined at least one million yuan.

seems to be Luo Shengxing, even if Li Shimin deliberately takes care of him, he is still fined 5 million yuan.

However, this is not a big injury, although the total assets of Luosheng Bank are only about 20 million yuan, but the dividends of this company over the years are at least more than 8 million yuan.

Now it's just spit out part of the income of previous years. And several shopkeepers of Luo Shengxing and the like were not severely punished, but they were sentenced to exile in Liaoxi, and they could also use money to atone for their crimes.

At this time, Li Shimin paid more attention to the Yunmengguan case.

The torturers who were transferred to Yunmengguan by the embroidered guards were indeed good. On the fourth day, most of the members of the Eight Demon Dragon Tribes captured this time could not survive the torture and confided everything they knew.

It is said that many heart-wrenching events took place during this period, with many captives attempting suicide and others attempting to kill people. But this time, Wang Chonggu was very careful, and the people mobilized were all innocent and talented young people, and most of the time they joined the embroidery guard was concentrated four years after the great cause. After several thrilling confrontations with the Demon Dragon Babu, he still managed to get a large number of confessions.

This includes some of the strongholds of the Eight Dragons, as well as the location of their headquarters. Li Shimin's guess is not wrong, the base of the Demon Dragon Babu in Luoyang City is indeed at the southern foot of Bishan Mountain.

It's a pity that when Sima Chao found that place, it was already empty, and only some traces of little value were left at the scene.

Then there are some members of the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon, but this mysterious force seems to have been prepared. All potentially exposed personnel have been evacuated from Henan County.

Now that the Criminal Department and the Embroidered Guards have painted pictures of these people and rewarded them with heavy money, most of them will not gain anything in a short period of time.

In Li Shimin's view, the most valuable of these confessions is the organizational form of the Demon Dragon Babu.

According to the descriptions of these people, the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon imitated the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragons, and there were eight major divisions: the Celestial Beings, the Naga Divisions, the Yakshas, the Gandharvas, the Asuras, the Garudas, the Kinnaras, and the Maharajas.

Among them, the number of 'celestial beings' is the smallest, it is said that there are only about ten of them, all of whom are powerful in the world, capable of taking charge of the affairs of one side on their own.

And that Cloud Dream Viewer Lord's God is determined to be a true person. 'Lin Zixuan, it is said that he is one of the members of the Heavenly Crowd, and his ranking is not high, but he is only the seventh Heavenly Crowd among them.

Then there are the dragons, who are responsible for intelligence gathering and are biased towards the imperial court. The personnel are unknown, but they are all over the interior of the imperial court institutions such as the embroidered clothes guard and the imperial history platform, the Sili platform, and the Henan County Ya.

The inside of the heavy ink armor that wanted to attack and kill Li Shimin before was the leader of the dragon people, 'Dragon Phase'.

This made Li Shimin regret it a lot, he knew that this was the case, and at that time he could even give up Yunmengguan and take down this person.

The 'Yaksha Division' in the back is a killer cultivated by Emperor Shakti with a secret method, and there are about five to six first-rank personnel alone. The two people who cooperated with the 'Dragon Phase' in front of the Cloud Dream View were the two members of the 'Yaksha'.

The Qianmin Ministry is also responsible for intelligence gathering, biased towards the rivers and lakes and localities, and at the same time provides a certain amount of money to the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon, and most of the members are women.

The Asura Crowd is an armed force raised by the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon, including the four major Asura Kings and a large number of elite armorers. The previous Gu Chengyun was one of the four Asura Kings, the 'Po Ya Zhi King', and he was the weakest one among them.

There are also the Garuda people, which are also the armed forces of the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon, and unlike the previous Asura people, this group is all active in the form of small groups, and the members are all strong people who have cultivated at least three grades or above.

Garuda is also known as "Dapeng Golden-winged Bird", in the legend of Buddhism, the wings of this kind of sacred bird, there are all kinds of ** treasure colors, there is a raised Ruyi bead on the head, this birdsong is sad, feed on the dragon, and eat a dragon and five hundred small dragons every day. At the end of his life, all the poisons accumulated in his body and he could no longer eat them, so he flew up and down seven times, and flew to the top of the Vajra Wheel Mountain to die. Because he used dragons as food all his life, he accumulated a lot of poisonous gas in his body, and when he died, he was poisoned**, and after his body was burned, he only had one heart left, making pure green glass.

The Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon took advantage of this implication to set up the Garuda people. The members come and go without a trace, and they come and go, as if they are soaring above the nine heavens, loyal to the eight parts of the demon dragon, and have a 'pure green glass heart'.

Finally, there are the Kinnara and Maharaja, the former of which is the real source of wealth for the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon, and all the members will do whatever it takes to collect wealth for the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon.

In Buddhist scriptures, 'kinara' is the god of songs, a musician who specializes in playing Dharma music. In Sanskrit, it means "human non-human". They are shaped like humans, but they have a horn on their heads, so they are called "human non-human", and they are good at singing and dancing, and they are the gods of music of the emperor.

But for the 'Emperor Shakti' of the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon, the thing that can please him is not the vocal music, but the money for him to achieve his goals.

As for the Maharaja – the Sanskrit word for 'Maharaja' means python god, with a human body and a snake's head. There is a saying in the "Shoulengyan Sutra": "Mahuraga, this cloud dragon, Yiyun python god, belly line and the like." Feeling this body from infatuation, deaf and ignorant, so happy and detached. Cultivating compassion and cultivating wisdom, recovering the antecedents, and getting rid of the Pyronic class. That is to say, Mahuraka is the earth dragon corresponding to the heavenly dragon, which was originally a ventral class, but "from the delirium and the feeling of this body", because of "deafness and ignorance", but can "be happy and detached, cultivate compassion and wisdom", and finally redeem the antecedents, get rid of the abdomen, and be reborn.

The identities of these people are mysterious, but most of them are local tyrants and wealthy people. Although he does not participate in the specific affairs of the Demon Dragon Babu, he will make a large donation to the Demon Dragon Babu every year.

When Li Shimin saw these copies of confessions, he gasped at that time,

- If these people's descriptions are true, then the strength of the Demon Dragon Babu is simply unfathomable, and there are more than twenty first-grade masters alone. This is enough to suppress all the forces in this world, even the top sects in the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism.

But Li Shimin is even more convinced that these people he captured in Yunmengguan are only the tip of the iceberg, and they are definitely not the whole picture of the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon.

"It's weird, it's really weird. ”

Zhang Yurou's expression was puzzled: "There is such a big force in this world, why was there no sign before? And those heavenly beings and the Mohurajia people should all be people with quite high status, why are they used by the emperor Shakti? You know, even Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, has no such ability." ”

Yang Jin, the king of Qi, is a descendant of the Son of Heaven, and before this winter hunt, he has a good chance of winning the throne.

But even this prince who was once in love with the very prince, after a few years of operation, he also recruited Sima Yunfan, Blue Devil Divine Sword Sun Yan, Kudi Zhongqi, Chen Zhiwei and other six or seven first-class powerhouses to work for him.

It seems that Cao Wen, the head of the Qi Palace, is more suspicious of other people's chess pieces, not loyal to Yang Xuan, the king of Qi.

"It's really weird. ”

Li Shimin's eyes also showed a look of confusion.

That 'Emperor Shakti' not only had many first-grade soldiers under his command, but also tens of thousands of armor warriors and hundreds of third-grade martial cultivators working for him.

But where did this Demon Dragon Babu get so much financial resources to support so many armed forces?

"But I guess that whether it's these 'celestial beings' or the 'Mohuraga', the eight demon dragon divisions may not be able to move freely. As for the Asura kings and the Garuda kings, they all had their own priorities. ”

If the 'Emperor Shakti' was able to command these people like an arm, then how could he have survived the previous attack in front of Tongguan?

Even after Tongguan, any few 'celestial beings', or those Asura kings and Garuda kings joining forces, could easily take his life.

"But no matter what, the strength of this Demon Dragon Babu is indeed unfathomable. After the battle of Yunmengguan, they will definitely pay more attention to me than in the past. I'm not afraid of the rain and your jokes, I actually feel scared today. ”

Li Shimin was not afraid of his life, but worried that the people around him would be implicated by him.

Zhang Yurou smiled dumbly, thinking that this guy actually had times when he was afraid. And just as she was about to say something, suddenly a golden arrow flew into the air, levitating in front of her.
