When Wu Zetian was 61 years old, he set up a report box in various places in the capital... Tongkou encouraged officials and civilians to report. He ordered local officials to say that if there are people who come to Beijing to report, local officials cannot ask the report in detail, and they must send a post horse to the capital in time. Those who have made meritorious reports can even be awarded titles, and ordinary people will also receive rewards. Some informants will be summoned in person.

At that time, Li Chun, the prefect of Sichuan West Road in Yizhou, and Hou Xiong, the procurator of Fuzhou, were corrupt and colluded with the evil forces of Ma Han to knock down the private houses at good ports in the city, rebuild the trade avenue, profited from it, and caused casualties to the people.

The victims recommended Mrs. Xu and several others to go to Beijing to file a lawsuit against the emperor. The group of people panicked and sent many minions to intercept the visit along the way. Mrs. Xu and others' property was invaded and their relatives died young. They were full of grief and anger and were careful to hide in the Hebei area during the day and leave at night. When they walked to the Hanzhong area, they were still discovered by Li's minions and were caught. They did not provide water or food along the way. They could get off the bus until evening and eat.

Even the justice litigant who helped them write papers, Kangzhuang, a native of Huayang, was arrested and imprisoned for ten days.

They actually trained informants, focusing on monitoring the petitioners. Whenever there was any trouble, they would first come and stay and stay away. First, they agreed to the petitioners' demands, and then they would shirk their responsibilities, quarrel and fool, but they would not be able to repay what they should pay.

This culture has developed rapidly across the country, so it became an art that has been reproduced and inherited and has been carried forward.

This informant is an extremely shameless act, a despised act by normal human society, and a breakthrough in human conscience and bottom line. Once destroyed, morality will be difficult to repair in this nation.

When the supreme ruler advocates and encourages informing acts, it must be one of the external indicators of domestic conflicts and unstable national base. This also reflects the ruler's extreme lack of confidence and wants to suppress fierce public opinion through extrajudicial high pressure.

Wu Zetian wanted to touch Li You, but she could only use this kind of unconfident method. However, since Wu Zetian dispersed this method, no one dared to come and report it. Not to mention the people close to Li You, even those not close to Li You, no one dared to report it to her.

No matter if Wu Zetian gave any high-ranking officials and generous salaries, no one dared to report the news. Wu Zetian was very depressed. However, in addition to this bad news, there was also good news, that is, when Wu Zetian sent Xu Jingzong to contact Changsun Wuji, Xu Jingzong quickly joined Changsun Wuji.

On that day, Xu Jingzong and Changsun Wuji talked in the secret room for about half an hour. Finally, Changsun Wuji stated his conditions and asked him to deal with Li You with Wu Zetian, but if Li You were killed, then Changsun Wuji would have to add nine tins.

When Xu Jingzong came back to report, Wu Zetian also smiled faintly after hearing Changsun Wuji's request. She was sure now that Changsun Wuji really wanted to cooperate. As long as Li You could be eliminated, Wu Zetian would not mind giving Changsun Wuji the title of deputy emperor. At that time, Wu Zetian believed that she could boil the frog directly by boiling a frog in warm water.

So soon, Wu Zetian asked Xu Jingzong to lead the message and could agree to Changsun Wuji's conditions. After receiving Wu Zetian's approval, Changsun Wuji also gave a positive reply, that is, he would definitely stand on Wu Zetian's side.

In this way, everything was ready, and now the whistleblower was about to be close. Just as Wu Zetian was waiting for the whistleblower, a Hu man came to Wu Zetian's vision.

Who is this Hu man? He is the famous Suo Yuanli... Compared with Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing behind him, Suo Yuanli is the first person to serve Wu Zetian.

This guy may have some mental illness. His temperament is cruel and violent. He is capable of false accusing others and framing others. There are thousands of unjust souls who died at the hands of Suo Yuanli.

The first case he handled was Yu Bao's case. Suo Yuanli invented two magic weapons for torture and forced confessions: Zhuozheng and Suoqin.

When Yu Bao's family refused to confess, Suo Yuanli shouted: "Come on! Take my iron cage!" There was a small mouth on the top of a pile that could only accommodate the head, and there was a small wooden cage thick at the top and sharp at the bottom. The iron cage used to "weld" into various parts of the invader's head was carried over. This novel torture instrument immediately scared Yu Bao's family to confess and was sentenced to death.

Later, "Come on! Get my iron cage!" became Suo Yuanli's catchphrase, which made people frightened and scared.

"It was Lai Junchen, and Zhou Xing was excited. The world called it 'Lai Suo'." Suo Yuanli set a precedent, and for a moment, cruel officials emerged one after another. Among them, Lai Junchen was as famous as Suo Yuanli. The two were collectively called "Lai Suo", which means arrest.

The two of them not only had the same stinky smell, but also jointly invented ten kinds of shackles: one is to determine the hundred meridians, two is to be unable to breathe, three is to be suddenly roared, four is to be in a sudden state, five is to be lost, six is ​​to be in a state of truth, seven is to be in a state of truth, eight is to be dead, nine is to be dead, and ten is to be destructive. A set of textbooks for torture and confession was compiled, named "Carbage Sutra", which is divided into 12 volumes: reading the human volume, the first volume of matter, the second volume of rule, the control volume, the enemy volume, the consolidation volume, the self-restraint volume, the inspection of traitors, the planning volume, the questioning volume, the punishment volume, and the melon vine volume.

This Hu Rentian is not afraid of the earth. He saw Wu Zetian directly. Li You was afraid of rumoring to the question. Suo Yuanli smiled and said that he was not afraid of it. But he wanted to ask if Wu Zetian's promise was true. As long as he could inform him, he would not only not be punished, but also get a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and even official positions.

And even if you make a mistake, the Empress of the Tang Dynasty will protect herself!

Wu Zetian also gave Suo Yuanli a reassurance, saying that he would do it when he said it. With Wu Zetian's guarantee, Suo Yuanli here also made continuous guarantees, so he would definitely report it.

In this way, Wu Zetian's preparations were ready. Now what he had to wait for was Su Dingfang's army to come back. As long as Su Dingfang's army came back, he would first control Su Dingfang's army, and then Zhou Chong submitted a statement, and then arrest Su Dingfang. As long as Su Dingfang was arrested, there would be great potential to use Su Yuanli's informing, so that he could directly punish Su Dingfang or induce surrender, as long as Su Dingfang was taken for himself.

Then this can directly convict Li You. As long as Li You was charged with a crime of rebellion, Li You will be completely finished. No matter how powerful Li You is, as long as you can get a name for rebellion, Wu Zetian can directly exil Li You.
