Chapter 1274: Oops, I'm Fooled
"Oops, fooled."
Li Yuanjing's face was remorseful, and he suddenly felt a little stupid.
That Ma Zhou is Qin Tian's person, since Qin Tian recommended Ma Zhou, can he not give Ma Zhou an idea?
It's ridiculous that he still thinks that Ma Zhou has no ability, and it is impossible to investigate him.
I even think that Ma Zhou's exchange of real money for fake money is a particularly ridiculous thing.
And now, his people have been arrested by Ma Zhou.
"Damn, damn it, I'm afraid the loss this time will be a lot."
Li Yuanjing walked back and forth, and then hurriedly asked, "Have all the people who have contact with this king been removed?" ”
"Lord Wang, they are all removed, and even if the rest is questioned by Ma Zhou, it will never involve the prince."
The rest are just little minions, and they don't know about it.
Hearing this, Li Yuanjing breathed a sigh of relief.
The prison of the Criminal Department.
The prisoners who had been arrested were quickly brought up.
They all looked a little scared, but in their eyes, they could see some cunning.
Ma Zhou glanced at them and said: "I know that you are just a group of small minions, there must be someone behind the scenes, if you answer honestly, this official may play the Ming Sheng, and you can spare your life, if you refuse to say it, then the torture instruments in this prison of the Criminal Department, I will try them on you one by one." ”
Speaking of this, Ma Zhou showed a chuckle again: "The torture tools in this prison of the Criminal Department, this official has not seen how to use them, so it is better to use them on you today." ”
It's very casual, but it sounds like it's cold all over your body.
Although the torture tools of the Criminal Department were reduced a lot when Li Shimin reformed the prison, there were still a few very unbearable torture tools left, and even what Qin Tian invented, scraping bones to cure poison, etc., are still there.
They had heard of these torture instruments before, and just by listening to them, they all felt their scalps tingle.
Now that Ma Zhou is going to use it on them, they are really a little worried and afraid.
However, it is also a bit unlikely that they will be intimidated and poke out the people behind them.
A few people bit their lips tightly, not having the slightest meaning to say.
Seeing this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Ma Zhou's mouth, and then he casually pointed to a person and said, "Just him, test on him first." ”
The person who was pointed out suddenly sank, a little resistant, and even felt a little unbalanced, there were many people who were arrested, why did he make him suffer?
He didn't like it very much.
At this time, the official had already pulled him out, and took the red-hot iron piece and burned it on him.
The pain came and he felt as if he was about to be drained.
Immediately afterwards, the entire interrogation room smelled the smell of burnt meat.
"Ah............h
The man screamed, and then he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Spare your life, spare your life, I say, I say ......"
He is really a little unwilling, everyone else is fine, he is beaten, so why does he help keep the secret?
Seeing this, Ma Zhou smiled softly again, he knew that no one could endure much torture from the Criminal Department.
"Tell me, who are the people behind the scenes?"
The man didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly told the people above them, the people above them, there are some owners of underground banks, there are also some businessmen, etc., after all, they are the fastest currency circulation, and it is better to let them make a move.
After Ma Zhou heard these people, his brows condensed slightly, he felt that although these people were rich, they were not enough to plan the whole thing, but he was afraid that there were still people above them.
But what needs to be done now is to catch these people first.
Without hesitation, Ma Zhou hurriedly sent people to arrest these people.
Soon, some of the owners of underground banks, businessmen and so on were arrested.
Ma Zhou used the same method to ask some more people from their mouths, and these people were officials in the court.
Not much, but their identity does have the ability to plan these things.
"Okay, go get these people right away."
After Ma Zhou gave the order, the officials were dispatched.
Soon, however, these officials all returned empty-handed.
"What's going on, are they arrested?" Ma Zhou was a little strange, thinking that the official positions of these people were not low, he couldn't help but have such a guess.
The official shook his head: "My lord, the people you asked us to arrest are all dead. ”
"All dead?" Ma Zhou's heart moved, a little incredulous, why was they dead just as soon as he was about to arrest them?
"What the hell is going on?"
The official said: "I heard from the families of those people that those people committed suicide by taking poison. ”
"Suicide by poisoning?" Ma Zhou's eyebrows condensed slightly, and at this time, a subordinate next to him said: "My lord, they may have noticed that the matter was revealed, so they committed suicide in fear of sin." ”
Committing suicide by taking poison is suicide in fear of sin.
This explanation is not impossible, Ma Zhou faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find out what was wrong, and after thinking about it for the last time, he finally sighed and said: "Since the person behind the scenes has committed suicide in fear of crime, then this case can be regarded as closed." ”
All those involved in this matter have been controlled by him, and he can no longer find another clue, so this case can only be closed.
Of course, only after this case is over, the reform of the currency still has to continue.
And this, but to wait for Li Shimin's decision.
The Imperial Study.
Li Shimin frowned, and he couldn't make a decision for a long time about the monetary reform that Ma Zhou said.
If this matter was said by Qin Tian, he might be able to make a firm choice, but what Ma Zhou said, he would have to think about it.
I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with a result.
"Come on, go and call the eldest grandson Wuji to me."
The palace people were ordered to retreat, and after a short time, they called the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Holy Lord, Xuanchen entered the palace, I don't know what happened?"
Li Shimin told the eldest grandson Wuji about the monetary reform that Ma Zhou said, and then asked: "Auxiliary, this monetary reform is not a trivial matter, and it has a wide impact, do you think it's time to do it?" ”
Monetary reform is indeed a major event, and if it is done well, it will be conducive to the stability of Datang, and if it is not done well, it will restrict Datang's economy, so this matter, Changsun Wuji does not dare to judge easily.
He just thought about it for a while and said: "Shengshang, didn't Ma Zhou say that there is a person named Zhang Shusheng who has a lot of experience in currency, so why not announce him to enter the palace to ask, if what he said is really reasonable, we can also try to do it, if what he said is not reasonable, we will not do it." ”
is as smart as the eldest grandson Wuji, and quickly threw out the problem, so that even if something happened in the end, it had nothing to do with his eldest grandson Wuji, but with Zhang Shusheng.
