Before Li Zhan could investigate the Li family in Longyou, what surprised Li Zhan was that the next day, a big information about the Li family in Longyou broke out in the entire Chang'an City.

That is, the Li family in Longyou actually sells humans.

What's even more hateful is that the people sold by the Li family in Longyou are not Kunlun slaves or Silla maids... The people sold by the Li family in Longyou are actually all the people of the Tang Dynasty. It turned out that the Li family in Longyou first met some bandits, and then asked the bandits to attack some remote villages in the Tang Dynasty.

He then abducted the villagers in the village and became prisoners, and then sold them to the Li family in Longyou, and then sold them as slaves by the Li family in Longyou.

As we said before, there was a law for trafficking in the Tang Dynasty, so trafficking in persons is also legal. However, there is a premise here that the acquisition of slaves can only be in three parts. The first is prisoners of war, the second is to sell themselves voluntarily, and the third is to tribute slaves.

However, in these three parts, there is absolutely nothing like what the Li family in Longyou did, who had an affair with bandits and directly plundered the people of the Tang Dynasty as slaves.

You know, there was a time in the Tang Dynasty because the slave market was huge profits.

Therefore, some local officials at that time, driven by huge interests, would commit illegal acts of forcing good people to become slaves, using all kinds of means to force poor people to become slaves, and bring them to the population market for trafficking, making huge profits, and even gradually evolved into a folk custom. Finally, Li Shimin ascended the throne. Seeing that forced good people to become slaves caused public resentment, he had no choice but to introduce relevant policies to severely punish the criminal act of "forcing good people to become slaves".

"Tang Huiyao·Volume 86·Slaves": In the first year of Zhenguan, even if the people in Lingnan, Guizhou and Fujian were living in a commonplace manner, they were mostly plundered, and they were not dear lovers. If they were privately plundering slaves, they should be ordered to arrest and arrest the officials and investigate and investigate the responsibility in detail. They should be informed that the people who are not good people will be allowed to pass the law. Those who violate the violation will be punished accordingly.

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

Before Li Shimin ascended the throne, the bad custom of "pawning children" was prevalent, especially the Liuzhou area was the most prosperous. The specific practice was:

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

If the money owner is not returned within the deadline, although the money owner will not recover the principal, the children will be used as collateral and will be given to the money owner, which will become the money owner's private property, that is, slaves.

Many poor people are unable to redeem their children after they are pawned. In the end, the children they raised themselves become slaves in this way of selling them at a low price.

Li Shimin was very angry at the phenomenon of looting good people as slaves, and the people of the Tang Dynasty also hated this phenomenon very much. Who knew that the Li family in Longyou, which was exposed this time, was even more ugly.

The Li family in Longyou is more hateful and cruel than those who pawn children and force good people to become slaves. They directly plunder the people of the Tang Dynasty as slaves... After this incident broke out.

A large number of scholars went to the Chang'an Palace, beat the drum, and submitted a letter to Li Shimin in the palace, asking Li Shimin to strictly investigate the case of the Li family colluding with bandits and bandits to plunder the people as slaves.

After receiving Wan Min's letter, Li Shimin did not make any ambiguity. He immediately sent a team led by Changsun Wuji and Dali Temple to go to the Longyou Li family's human trafficking trading market to investigate. You should know which population trading market there are nearly a thousand slaves from the Longyou Li family.

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

If the slaves of the Li family in Longyou were indeed captured by the Li family in Longyou, then the Li family in Longyou will be destined to be in trouble this time, because the Li family in Longyou is now immersed in the disappointment of the people.

This is the best time to attack the Li family in Longyou.

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

When Changsun Wuji brought the Dali Temple servants to the population trading market of the Li family in Longyou, there was a bloody smell, and Changsun Wuji almost vomited.

You should know that Changsun Wuji has also seen big scenes. Although he has no military achievements, there is no problem with fighting on horseback. In Changsun Wuji's hands, there is still human life.

This was really the first time that Changsun Wuji entered the Li family's trading place, and it was already bloody.

The blood on the ground spread directly to Changsun Wuji's feet.

"Vomit...Vomit..."

Changsun Wuji pushed the things that surged from his throat, but the Dali Temple officers behind him started to vomit, looking at the officers behind him who could no longer vomit.

Changsun Wuji looked at the tragic phenomenon in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Do you, the Li family in Longyou, still have human nature... They actually killed more than a thousand slaves.

That's more than a thousand lives?"

At this moment, a man walked out with a smile and clasped his fists: "Oh... Lord Changsun, I'm not welcome. Look, I'm sorry that you can see such a scene.

But I can scold me, but I want to correct what Lord Changsun said just now. Our Li family in Longyou is not inhumane, nor is it intentionally killing these slaves. These slaves just wanted to riot.

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

No one is so stupid, he destroys his own way of wealth."

After saying that, the man looked at Changsun Wuji and bowed with a smile.

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "Your Li family in Longyou is cruel enough... More than a thousand lives, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?"

"Sir Changsun...you really misunderstood. We are like this because of slave riots. There is nothing we can do about it." The man from the Li family still showed a smiling expression.

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

Sooner or later, someone will pay back the lives of these slaves."

After saying that, Changsun Wuji turned around and left, but just as Changsun Wuji left, the person from the Li family still bowed and shouted, "Mr. Li is looking forward to Lord Changsun coming again."

His fearless attitude really made Changsun Wuji furious.

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

"What did you say... The Li family in Longyou killed more than a thousand slaves?"

The gua 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 showed an incredible expression.

Ouyang Duoduo on the side said in horror: "This is more than a thousand lives, can you kill it if you say it?"

Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Who said no... more than a thousand people, the news came back to the palace. His Majesty was furious and smashed three cups directly. The Li family in Longyou is really too much this time."

At this time, Li Zhan shook his head slightly and said, "This should be just the beginning. In order to kill more than a thousand slaves, if His Majesty investigates it later, more people will die.

The Li family in Longyou is really a group of beasts.”
