The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 766
"You mean that all these beggars have been controlled by others, so what's the use of these beggars?" Hua Nan asked Xu Tianda puzzled.

"I really don't know what these beggars can do now. But I feel that it is definitely not normal for a state capital to have no beggars." Xu Tianda said to Huanan.

"It's not too difficult to investigate this matter. He can control all the beggars in Yizhou, but he may not be able to control all the beggars in Yizhou."

"So as long as we expand the scope of our search, we will be able to find out what's going on." Luo Huan said after thinking about it.

"This is a way, but remember not to startle the enemy. Otherwise, not only will we fail to achieve our intended purpose, but it will also alert the other party." Li Tai nodded and said.

……

In the next few days, everyone was sent out by Li Tai.It is bound to make clear about every move of this Yizhou city.

After all, now Li Tai can be sure that Li Ke, king of Shu, is indeed plotting something.Although now is not the time to move him, at least you must take everything into your own hands.

On this day, Li Tai was chatting with Wu Meiniang just after lunch.Li Tianming came to inform Li Tai that Luo Huan, Hua Nan and Xu Tianda had returned.

"Meiniang, take a rest by yourself first. I will accompany you after I finish my business." Li Tai said to Wu Meiniang beside him.

After Li Tai finished speaking, he got up and left the room with Li Tianming.Arrived in Xu Tianda's room.When the three saw Li Tai coming, they got up and saluted Li Tai.

Then Xu Tianda opened his mouth and said to Li Tai: "Master, as expected, there is indeed a problem with the beggars in Yizhou City. Even the several counties under Yizhou City have no beggars."

"However, after inquiring by my subordinates, I found out that these beggars disappeared within nearly a year. Like other places, there were still a certain number of beggars in Yizhou before."

"What do you find out? Is there any strange thing happening in this city of Yizhou recently?" Li Tai asked Luo Huan and Hua Nan.

"My lord, we have investigated all the counties under Yizhou, and nothing special has happened. It's just that the unemployed people in the counties disappeared without a trace like beggars."

"And it is said that someone recruited them into an organization and took them to dig a gold mine." Hua Nan said to Li Tai.

"I'm digging gold mines. Is there any large-scale gold mines near Yizhou?" Li Tai asked the person in charge of the shadow guard who was acting as the waiter of the shop.

"Your Highness, no large gold mines have been found around Yizhou. So I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter." The shadow guard said to Li Tai without thinking.

"It seems that whether the beggars disappeared or these unemployed people went to dig gold mines, it all shows one thing, that is, a large number of idle labor forces have been controlled by those who are interested." Li Tai nodded and said.

"If we can find a breakthrough, we can follow the vines and figure out the matter. But now people have arranged things almost, and now we want to figure out the ins and outs of the matter."

"I'm afraid it feels like an afterthought. And the difficulty of the investigation has also increased several times." Xu Tianda said after thinking about it.

"What's so difficult about this? If there is no opportunity, we will create an opportunity. If there is no breakthrough, we will find a breakthrough by ourselves." Li Tai said to Xu Tianda with a smile.

Hearing what Li Tai said, everyone couldn't help but focus on Li Tai.I want to know how Li Tai intends to make this breakthrough.

"Everyone, have you ever experienced the life of a beggar? Why don't you experience it with me tomorrow?" Li Tai said with a smile when he saw the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces.

"My lord, it's not that my subordinates don't want to pretend to be beggars. However, if there are a few beggars for no reason, I'm afraid it will be easy to be suspected by others. Not only will I not understand anything, but I will put myself in danger." Luo Luo Huan opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

"If we end up penniless due to special reasons, then it won't be considered strange by others." Li Tai said with a smile.

……

"You guys are liars here. There's no reason why you haven't won after gambling for a few days. Give me back the money now, and let's pay it back. Otherwise, I'll report to the official right now and sue you for cheating and cheating." A big man said Loud yelling in the casino.

"Brother, it's because of your bad luck that you lost money. It has nothing to do with our casino. If you continue to talk nonsense here, then don't blame us for being rude." The shopkeeper of the casino said to the big man Said.

"You guys are cheating money, don't you dare let people tell you. I will tell you today, and see what you can do to the young master. Believe it or not, the young master will burn your gambling house tonight." The big man shouted loudly.

"It seems that you really don't know who is the owner behind this gambling room. I might as well tell you today, in this city of Yizhou. There is absolutely no one who wants to make trouble in my gambling room. It's a good end." The shopkeeper of the casino said with a wild smile.

Then the shopkeeper of the gambling house waved his hand, and more than a dozen thugs rushed towards the big man.At the beginning, the big man even refuted a few times symbolically.But then he was beaten so helplessly.

In the end, it was like throwing chickens, directly from the gambling house, and threw it on the street.Even the clothes on his body were already in disrepair from the punches and kicks just now.

At this time, the big man looked as desolate as he could be, as pitiful as he could be.But no one is willing to extend a helping hand to help this down-and-out man.

"You wait for me, I will come with you sooner or later for today's revenge." After the big man finished speaking, he turned and left the gambling house.

This big man is none other than Luo Huan in disguise.And in order to make others believe in him, he really lost all his money.

So Luo Huan deliberately chose a gambling house under the name of Shu Wang Li Ke.And in the end, he lost all his money, and there was not even a penny left for the travel expenses to go home.

At the beginning, Luo Huan was quite strong, and never begged for a grain of rice from anyone.And he sat in the restaurant in a very dignified manner, and ordered a large table of sumptuous banquets without hesitation.

The owner of the restaurant at the beginning naturally wouldn't have any doubts.But after eating, he realized that Luo Huan was really penniless.So in the end, Luo Huan was beaten again, and then thrown on the street.

At this time, Luo Huan was already naked and looked like a beggar.At this time, Luo Huan no longer cares about dignity, after all, dignity cannot fill his stomach.

In this way, Luo Huan successfully became the first beggar accepted by others.It can be regarded as having completed Li Tai's explanation, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

……

At the same time, a big spender.He used up his last Kaiyuan Tongbao in the brothel.So he was ruthlessly kicked out.

But this person naturally didn't want to stop there, and was ready to enter the brothel again and again.But those thugs raised by the brothel will not allow him to succeed.

In the end, the man had no choice but to curse loudly outside the brothel: "I spent hundreds of taels of silver here, and now I don't even have money to go home. Can't you lend me a few taels of silver for the travel expenses back home?" .”

However, his yelling and scolding did not bring him sympathy from the procuress of the brothel, but he was beaten again.Just like that, another beggar appeared in Yizhou City.This person is none other than Xu Tianda in disguise.

……

The way Li Tai chose was even more miserable.Li Taike did not pretend to be a gambler or a prostitute, but pretended to be a couple who eloped with Wu Meiniang.Finally, Wu Meiniang's family found them.

Ruthlessly took Wu Meiniang away, while Li Tai stayed in Yizhou City alone in desperation.He drank his sorrows away with wine every day, and finally fell ill in the inn.

In the end, because he spent all his savings on medical treatment, he was naturally kicked out of the inn.Reluctantly reduced to a beggar who lives by begging.

Li Tai's choice of this method is a bit similar to that of Qin Qiong in those days.But the main reason for doing this is to let Huanan pick up Wu Meiniang.Lest Wu Meiniang be threatened.

As a result, three beggars appeared in Yizhou City.And what appeared was so reasonable that no one would have the slightest doubt at all.

In this way, the three of Li Tai and the others began their begging life in Yizhou City.Life is so miserable, I live hungry and full, and the only place I live is the Earth Temple.

……

The Palace of the King of Shu.

"Your Highness, three beggars suddenly appeared in the city recently. They have been begging in Yizhou City for more than ten days now." Yang Da said to Shu King Li Ke.

"If there are beggars, follow the old method. If you catch them, you're done. Why bother His Highness with such trivial matters." Luo Yiming said to Yang Da with a look of disdain.

"If it was just an ordinary beggar, I would have dealt with it according to the old method. The reason I mentioned it to His Highness is that there are many doubts about them." Then Yang Da told Li Ke, King of Shu, how Li Tai and the other three became beggars. again.

"There's no need to make a fuss about it. This kind of thing probably happens every day in Datang. I think you scholars are too cautious. You are timid when you do things." Luo Yiming said disdainfully.

"Whether it's true or not, throw them into the mountains, even if they have the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth. They don't even think about leaving there. Even if they do it on purpose, so what?" Zhao Wang Li Yuanjing said Butler Li Ming said.

"Mr. Li is right. We will send them to the mountains tonight. But for safety's sake, we must send someone to keep an eye on them. If there is any change, I will kill them directly." Li Ke, King of Shu, nodded and said. .

In fact, Li Ke, king of Shu, didn't think there was anything wrong with these three beggars at all.On the contrary, I think there is nothing to doubt, after all, the method chosen by the three is more reasonable.

In fact, Yang Da knew in his heart that if he was really sent by the imperial court.It's not a matter of simply killing someone to silence them.But Li Ke, King of Shu, had already filmed it, so he naturally had no way to refute it.

Because Yang Da knew that Li Ke, the King of Shu, had that kind of arbitrariness.If he goes against his wishes too much, it will make him feel that he has other intentions.
