The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 771
"What exactly do you feel, why don't I feel anything?" Luo Huan said to Hua Nan.

"Yizhou seems too prosperous, and in the end everything is illusory. But this Qianzhou seems a little too depressed. So this is definitely an abnormal thing." Hua Nan said.

"Could it be that just based on this point, you feel that there is a problem. After all, this Qianzhou is a barren land, and it is normal for the people's lives to be unsatisfactory." Luo Huan said.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Qianzhou area was really not a land of fish and rice.And it's the kind of place where prisoners are exiled.So there is nothing wrong with what Luo Huan said.

"Based on this alone, I naturally don't think there is anything wrong. But from the eyes of the people, I can see a kind of numbness. This is something that should not happen even to poor people."

"And there is only one possibility of this situation, that is, they have no hope. Even if they are barely alive now, they may be decapitated at any time." Hua Nan said.

"South China is right, and the king also found that there are many vacant houses in Qianzhou. There are only two of them. The first one is that he can't survive, and his family has moved to other places."

"The other is the people that this king doesn't want to see the most, that is, someone took these people away." Li Tai nodded and said.

"Could it be that someone in Qianzhou also minted copper coins privately? It seems that this Tang official is really short of money." Luo Huan said.

"If it was just privately minted copper coins, this king would not be so worried. What I am worried about is that someone will take them away to refine the undead army." Li Tai said after waving his hands.

Hearing the words Undead Army, Luo Huan couldn't help being startled.So he said, "My lord, you mean that Li Chengqian still doesn't give up?"

"Brother Huang probably didn't do it. If Brother Huang had any intentions, he wouldn't choose to give up in the palace that day. So this king thinks that the Tang Sect should be in this Qianzhou." Li Tai said.

"My lord means that this Qianzhou has already been secretly controlled by the Tang Sect. If that's the case, I'm afraid this Qianzhou is a den of dragons and tigers." Xu Tianda said in surprise.

"With the strength of the Tang Sect, it's reasonable to do some things in secret. If he wants to dominate this Qianzhou, I'm afraid Tang Aotian doesn't have the guts." Li Tai shook his head and said.

"So this Tang Aotian must have found a backer again, and this person definitely has a certain right to speak in Qianzhou. Otherwise, this situation would be impossible." Hua Nan nodded and said.

While everyone was discussing, Li Tianming walked in with a person.This person is the head of the shadow guard in charge of Qianzhou.

In order to understand the situation in Qianzhou, Li Tai specially sent a pigeon to send him a letter.After all, he has been staying in Qianzhou, so he must know more about the situation in Qianzhou than Li Tai.

"See Your Highness for the subordinate shadow guards." The person in charge of Qianzhou Shadow Guards said after saluting to Li Tai.

"You don't need to be too polite, I called you here to ask you, is there anyone from the Tang Sect active in Qianzhou?" Li Tai asked the person in charge of the Qianzhou Shadow Guard.

Originally, this Qianzhou was not within the monitoring range of the shadow guards.It was because after Li Chengqian was abolished as the crown prince and exiled in Qianzhou, the shadow guards started their activities in Qianzhou.

Therefore, the shadow guard did not spend a long time lurking in Qianzhou.This also shows that the shadow guard's control over Qianzhou is absolutely very limited.

"Your Highness, although Tang Sect disciples occasionally appear in Qianzhou, they act very low-key and have not done anything out of the ordinary." The person in charge of Qianzhou Shadow Guard said to Li Tai.

"How about the governor and governor of Qianzhou in terms of political performance?" Li Tai continued to ask the person in charge of the Qianzhou shadow guard.

"Although the governor of Qianzhou has no outstanding achievements, there is nothing worthy of criticism. After all, there is no real family in Qianzhou, so it is much more convenient to govern than other state capitals."

"As for the governor of Qianzhou, he is a full-fledged banker. The soldiers under his command seldom practice, and they usually bully and dominate the city. It makes the people dare not speak out." The person in charge of the Qianzhou shadow guard said to Li Tai.

Li Tai nodded involuntarily.Then he said: "Based on this situation, neither the governor of Qianzhou nor the governor of Qianzhou is the real controller of Qianzhou."

"As for who is controlling the entire Qianzhou behind it. There is really no way to be sure at present. It seems that the water in Qianzhou is really not as deep as usual."

"My lord, according to what the Shadow Guard said, the Tang Sect's activities here are not very rampant. Therefore, it should be impossible to refine undead troops in Qianzhou." Luo Huan said to Li Tai.

"I don't know if you can feel that the population of Qianzhou has been declining rapidly recently. As for the reason for the decline?" Li Tai asked the person in charge of King Yan of Qianzhou again.

"When my subordinates first came to Quanzhou a year ago, they found that a large number of people had moved out of Qianzhou. As for where they moved, my subordinates did not pay attention to this matter." The person in charge of Qianzhou Shadow Guard told Li Tai Said.

"One year ago, it was the time when Brother Huang came to Qianzhou. Could it be that this matter is really related to Brother Huang?" Li Tai said to himself.

Then Li Tai asked again: "What has Brother Huang been doing these days, is there anything unusual?"

"Since King Zhongshan was demoted, he has been living a very low-key life. He stays with the concubine every day, and rarely shows up in front of everyone."

"However, my subordinates heard that King Zhongshan's temper became more and more irritable. They even heard about the incident of beating a maid to death. However, my subordinates felt that this was just the reason why King Zhongshan was too depressed, so they did not report it to the higher authorities. " said the person in charge of Qianzhou Shadow Guard.

"If it is said that the emperor's brother has died and only wants to live the life of ordinary people, the king will believe it. But it is a little strange to say that the emperor killed the maid." Li Tai said after thinking about it.

"My lord, if my subordinate guesses correctly, what happened in Qianzhou must be related to King Zhongshan. And the Tang Sect is naturally involved, and it is even possible that King Zhongshan is also controlled by the Tang Sect." Hua Nan said. Li Tai said.

"Why do you feel this way?" Hearing what Hua Nan said, Li Tai asked Hua Nan in bewilderment.

"My lord, it's not surprising that a person's personality changes drastically. After all, there are many factors that cause a person's personality to change. But a person who has no desire for power and money suddenly becomes irritable. It’s definitely not normal.”

"However, my subordinates know that there is a possibility that will cause a great change in a person's personality. Even the feelings for relatives will gradually fade, and eventually they will become an inhuman existence." Hua Nan said to Li said Ty.

"What you said is amazing. What is it that makes a person completely lose his essence?" Luo Huan asked Hua Nan.

"There is an ethnic group in Kunzhou. It is said that they are inherited from the ancient Jiuli ethnic group. It is an ethnic group famous for its witchcraft."

"Moreover, this nation is very mysterious. Outsiders dare not set foot in the place where they live. Because if you dare to trespass into their territory without authorization, your death will be extremely miserable."

"And this voodoo technique is what caused the intruders to die miserably. And those who have been affected by the voodoo technique will change their temperament drastically in a short period of time." Hua Nan said.

Hearing Hua Nan's words, Li Tai couldn't help being surprised.Could it be that the witchcraft techniques mentioned in martial arts novels really exist?

So Li Tai asked Hua Nan: "How much do you know about this witchcraft, does this kind of magic really exist?"

"My lord, this subordinate also learned of this witchcraft technique unintentionally. So the understanding of this witchcraft technique is only superficial, but what is certain is that this witchcraft technique does exist." Hua Nan said Said to Li Tai.

"It's very normal for the emperor's temperament to change drastically if he is affected by the witchcraft. Although it is not certain whether the emperor has been affected by the witchcraft or not. But we have to be more careful." After Li Tai nodded Said.

……

A few days later, Li Tai came to Qianzhou City.This Qianzhou Cheng gave Li Tai a very bad feeling, and the market seemed to be very depressed.And the relationship between people is also very numb.

Li Tai chose a good inn and took Wu Meiniang to live in it.After all, there are no 33 Chongtian shops in Qianzhou.So Li Tai could only choose another inn to settle down.

At the same time, Luo Huan, Hua Nan and others also sneaked into Qianzhou City with various identities.However, he did not get in touch with Li Tai.

Instead, according to Li Tai's previous arrangement, he started to make a living without any abnormality.It feels like a caravan coming to Qianzhou to buy special products.

However, Li Tai was not idle, the night after arriving in Qianzhou City.Li Tai personally visited Zhongshan Palace at night.After all, there are some things that are better seen with your own eyes.

……

After Li Tai used the Five Elements escape technique to hide his figure.With the help of lightness kung fu, he jumped into Zhongshan Palace.In fact, the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion is not very big, it's just the house where I lived after Li Chengqian arrived in Qianzhou.

So Li Tai found Li Chengqian's bedroom without any trouble.After Li Tai carefully checked around the bedroom, he didn't find any traps ambush.

So he approached Li Chengqian's bedroom, and at this time the lights in Li Chengqian's bedroom were still on.Li Chengqian sat alone with blank eyes.As if thinking hard about something.

And there was only Li Chengqian in the room, but Li Chengqian's concubine did not live here.Moreover, Li Tai didn't even see a maid serving Li Chengqian.

This couldn't help but make Li Tai feel strange, and just when Li Tai was puzzled.Suddenly the sound of a tambourine was heard.

But Li Chengqian in the room suddenly stood up, as if he was very sensitive to this voice.But he didn't do anything else, but walked to the door and slowly opened it.

Li Tai felt that there was definitely something wrong with Li Chengqian, especially Li Chengqian's sensitivity to the sound of the tambourine.This reminded Li Tai even more of Miao Jiang's Gu poison technique.
