Li Zhan hadn't had time to investigate the Li family in Longyou, and what surprised Li Zhan was that the next day, the entire Chang'an City broke out a big news about the Li family in Longyou.

That is, the Li family of Longyou actually trafficked people.

What's even more hateful is that the human trafficking of the Li family in Longyou is not a Kunlun slave, a Silla maid... The human trafficking of the Li family in Longyou is actually the people of the Tang Dynasty, it turns out that this Li family in Longyou first got acquainted with some mountain bandits, and then let the mountain bandits attack some remote villages in the Tang Dynasty.

Then the villagers in the village were taken away and became prisoners, and then they were sold to the Longyou Li family, and then they were sold as slaves by the Longyou Li family.

As we said earlier, the Tang Dynasty had a law on human trafficking, so human trafficking was also legal, but there is a premise here, the acquisition of slaves can only be in three parts, the first is prisoners of war, the second part is voluntary sales, and the third is tribute slaves.

However, in these three parts, there is absolutely nothing like what the Li family in Longyou did, fornicating with bandits and bandits, and directly plundering the people of the Tang Dynasty into slavery.

You know, Datang used to have a little time, because the slave market was profitable.

Therefore, some local officials at that time, driven by huge interests, would commit the illegal act of forcing the good to be slaves, and forced the local poor people to be slaves by all means, and brought them to the human market for sale, making huge profits from them, and even gradually evolved into a kind of folk custom.

"Tang Hui Yao, Volume 86, Slave and Maid": In the first year of Zhenguan, the people of Lingnan, Qianzhong, Fujian and other provinces, although they are vulgar, they are not our people, and they are at risk of plundering, but they have no loving love. For the public and private plundering and selling slaves and maids, it is advisable to order the chief officials to be arrested, and carefully investigate and blame, and entrust the people who are not good people, but they are allowed to hand over the customs. Offenders will be punished in accordance with the law.

Speaking of this record, there is actually a very sad time in the past.

Before Li Shimin's accession to the throne, the bad custom of "pawning children" prevailed, especially in the Liuzhou area, which was the most prosperous.

For example, if a family is poor and has no money to use, but has children, the parents of the family will pawn their children to the "money owner", that is, the creditor, and the money owner will pay the parents a certain amount of principal according to the slave price in the market to help them use it.

If it is not returned within the time limit, although the owner will not recover the principal, the children will be used as collateral and returned to the owner, and will become the private property of the owner, that is, the slave.

And many poor people have no power to redeem their children after pawning them, and in the end, the children raised by themselves are reduced to slavery in this way of cheap sales.

Li Shimin denounced the phenomenon of plundering and selling good people as slaves, and the people of the Tang Dynasty also hated this phenomenon very much.

The Li family of Longyou is more hateful and ruthless than those who pawn their children and force them into slavery, and they directly kidnap the people of the Tang Dynasty into slavery... After this incident broke out.

A large number of scholars went to the Chang'an Palace, beat the drum, and handed over the letter of the people to Li Shimin in the palace, asking Li Shimin to strictly investigate the matter of the Li family colluding with bandits and bandits to take the people into slavery.

After Li Shimin received the letter of the people, he was not ambiguous, and immediately sent a team headed by the eldest grandson Wuji and supplemented by Dali Temple to go to the Longyou Li family's human trafficking trading market to investigate, you must know that the human trading market, but there are nearly 1,000 slaves of the Longyou Li family.

Li Shimin knew that as long as he went to the trading market and found the slaves of the Li family in Longyou, all these rumors would be revealed.

If those slaves of the Longyou Li family were indeed taken captive by the Longyou Li family, then the Longyou Li family was destined to fall this time, because the Longyou Li family is now immersed in the disappointment of the people.

At this time, it is the best time to make a move against the Li family of Longyou.

But is it really that simple? Of course, it won't be that simple.

When the eldest grandson Wuji came to the population trading market of the Li family in Longyou with the messenger of Dali Temple, there was a smell of blood, and the eldest grandson Wuji of Kaoru almost vomited.

You must know that the eldest grandson Wuji has also seen a big scene, although there is no military exploits, but there is no problem in fighting on the horse, in the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji, human lives are still there.

This was so bloody that he wanted to vomit, and it was really the first time, when the eldest grandson Wuji entered the Li family's trading place, it was already a river of blood at this time.

The blood on the ground spilled directly to the feet of the eldest grandson Wuji's shoes.

"Gross... Vomit...! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji put down the things that surged in his throat, but the servants of Dali Temple behind him vomited, and looked at the servants behind him who vomited and couldn't vomit anymore.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the hellish scene in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Do you have any humanity in the Li family of Longyou... He killed more than a thousand slaves.

That's more than a thousand lives, huh? ”

At this moment, a man walked out with a smile and a fist: "Oops... Lord Eldest Sun, I lost my welcome, you see, I still let you see such a scene, I'm really sorry.

But I can scold me, but I want to correct what the eldest grandson said just now, our Longyou Li family is not inhumane, nor did it deliberately kill these slaves, it was these slaves who just wanted to riot.

We had no choice but to kill us, otherwise how could we have killed our money?

No one is so stupid as to destroy their own financial path. ”

After speaking, the man looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and arched his hand with a grin.

The eldest grandson Wuji gritted his teeth and said: "Your Longyou Li family is ruthless enough... More than 1,000 lives, not afraid of God's punishment? ”

"Lord Eldest Sun... You really misunderstood, we are like this because of the slave rebellion, there is no way to do it. The man from the Li family still had a smiling expression.

The eldest grandson Wuji knew that the other party would not let go, so he turned around and said, "Let's go... However, your Longyou Li family is also waiting, we will come back, no matter who it is, Your Majesty, or the people, it will not end here.

Sooner or later, the lives of these slaves will be returned. ”

After speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji turned around and left, but just as the eldest grandson Wuji left, the person from the Li family still bowed down with a smile and shouted: "Li is looking forward to the arrival of the eldest grandson again." ”

The fearless attitude really made the eldest grandson Wuji angry.

.............................

"What do you say... The Li family of Longyou killed more than 1,000 of their slaves? ”

The grass was concentrated, and Li Zhan looked at Li Chengqian with a hint of horror.

Not only Li Zhan, but everyone who heard the news all showed expressions of disbelief.

Ouyang Duoduo on the side said in horror: "This is more than a thousand lives, just kill it?" ”

Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't... More than 1,000 people, this news was transmitted back to the palace, His Majesty was furious, and directly smashed three cups, the Longyou Li family was really too much this time. ”

At this time, Li Zhan shook his head slightly and said: "This should be just the beginning, the Li family of Longyou can kill more than a thousand slaves for themselves, and if Your Majesty investigates it later, more people will die."

This Longyou Li family is really a group of beasts. ”
