Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1274

"Oops, fooled."

Li Yuanjing looked remorseful, he suddenly felt a little stupid.

Then Ma Zhou is from Qin Tian. Since Qin Tian recommended Ma Zhou, can he not advise Ma Zhou?

It's ridiculous that he still thinks that Ma Zhou has no skills, and it is impossible to investigate him.

I feel that it is a particularly ridiculous thing for Ma Zhou to exchange real money for fake money.

But now, his men were captured by Ma Zhou.

"Damn, hate, I'm afraid the loss this time will be too much."

Li Yuanjing walked back and forth, and then quickly asked: "Have all the people who have contact with this king been eliminated?"

"My lord, all of them have been removed. Even if Ma Zhou inquired about the rest, the lord would never be involved."

The rest are just some little guys, they don't even know about it.

Hearing this, Li Yuanjing breathed a sigh of relief.

Prison prison.

Those arrested prisoners were quickly brought up.

They all looked a little scared, but some cunning could be seen in their eyes.

Ma Zhou glanced at them and said, "I know you are just a group of young people. There must be someone behind the scenes. If you answer honestly, I may give you a chance to play the Holy Spirit and spare your lives. If you refuse to speak, Then I will try out the torture tools in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice one by one."

Speaking of this, Ma Zhou smiled again: "I haven't seen the torture tools used in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. I haven't seen it used much. Why don't I use it on you today."

It's a casual word, but it sounds like your blood is running cold.

Although the torture devices of the Ministry of Punishments were reduced a lot when Li Shimin reformed the prison, there were still a few very unbearable torture devices left behind. Even what Qin Tian invented, such as bone scraping to cure poison, could be found out. are still there.

They had heard of these instruments of torture before, but just listening to them made their scalps feel numb.

Now that Ma Zhou was going to use it on them, they were really worried.

However, it would be a little impossible for them to be intimidated to reveal the people behind them.

A few people bit their lips tightly, and didn't mean to say anything.

Seeing this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Ma Zhou's mouth, then he pointed at someone casually, and said, "Let's just test it on him first."

The person accused suddenly sank, a little resisted, and even felt a little unbalanced. Many people were arrested, why did he suffer?
He doesn't like it very much.

At this time, the yamen servant had already pulled him out, and branded him with a red-hot iron sheet.

The feeling of pain came, and his whole body seemed to be drained.

Immediately afterwards, the entire interrogation room smelled of burnt meat.

"what…………"

The man let out a scream, and then he couldn't take it anymore.

"Forgive me, forgive me, I said, I said..."

He was really not reconciled, everyone else was fine, and he was the only one being beaten, so why should he help keep the secret?
Seeing this, Ma Zhou smiled softly again, and he knew that no one could endure much torture from the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Tell me, who are you behind the scenes?"

That person didn't dare to hide it, so he quickly told the people above them. The people above them include some underground bank bosses, some businessmen, etc. After all, these people have the fastest currency circulation, so it is advisable for them to make a move. better one.

After Ma Zhou heard about these people, his brows frowned slightly. He felt that although these people were rich, they were not enough to plan the whole thing. He was afraid that there were people above them.

But what needs to be done now is to catch these people first.

Without hesitation, Ma Zhou quickly sent people to arrest these people.

Soon, the bosses of some underground banks, businessmen and so on were arrested.

Using the same method, Ma Zhou asked some more people from their mouths, and these people were the officials of the court.

Not many, but their identities do have the ability to plan these things.

"Okay, go and catch these people right away."

After Ma Zhou ordered to go down, the yamen servants were dispatched.

It's just that soon, these yamen servants came back empty-handed.

"What's the matter, are they arresting?" Ma Zhou was a little surprised, thinking that these people's official positions were not low, he couldn't help but have such a guess.

The yamen servant shook his head: "My lord, those people you asked us to arrest are all dead."

"They're all dead?" Ma Zhou's heart moved, he couldn't believe it, why did they die just as he was going to arrest them?

"What exactly is going on?"

The yamen servant said: "I heard from the family members of those people that they all committed suicide by taking poison."

"Suicide by taking poison?" Ma Zhou frowned slightly. At this time, a subordinate next to him said, "My lord, they may have sensed that the matter was exposed, so they committed suicide in fear of crime."

To commit suicide by taking poison is to commit suicide in fear of crime.

This kind of explanation is not impossible. Ma Zhou faintly felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't find it. After thinking about it for the last time, he finally sighed and said: "Since the person behind the scenes has already committed suicide in fear of crime, then this case It’s a case closed.”

All the people related to this matter have been controlled by him, and he can't find any other clues, so this case can only end.

Of course, only after this case is over, the currency reform must continue.

But this one has to wait for Li Shimin's decision.

Royal study.

Li Shimin frowned, unable to make a decision for a long time about the currency reform that Ma Zhou mentioned.

If it was Qin Tian who said this, he might be able to make a firm choice, but what Ma Zhou said, he has to think carefully.

But after thinking about it for a long time, there was no result.

"Come on, go and call Changsun Wuji to me."

The palace servants were ordered to retreat, and not long after, they called Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty, Xuan Chen entered the palace, why not?"

Li Shimin told Changsun Wuji about the currency reform that Ma Zhou said, and then asked: "Auxiliary machine, this currency reform is not a trivial matter, and it has a wide-ranging impact. Do you think it is time to do this?"

Currency reform is indeed a major event. If it is done well, it will benefit the stability of the Tang Dynasty. If it is not done well, it will restrict the economy of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Changsun Wuji dare not judge this matter easily.

He just thought about it, and said: "My lord, didn't Ma Zhou say that there was a man named Zhang Shusheng who was very knowledgeable about currency, so why not send him into the palace to inquire, if what he said is really reasonable, we will You can try to do it, if what he said doesn’t make sense, we won’t do it.”

As smart as Changsun Wuji, he 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 Zhang Shusheng.
