Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Qihela said sullenly: "This king is not so easy to fool, Shen Lian, if you make this king unsatisfied, this king must—"

"Report!"

At this moment, before Qihela finished speaking, a guard suddenly rushed into the hall.

He bowed to Shen Lian and said: "Commander Shen, Qin Shaoqing of Dali Temple asked to see him. Qin Shaoqing said that someone reported that some dead bodies were found in the depths of Taiji Mountain, and after investigation..."

The guard paused for a moment, then looked at Shen Lian, and said, "Those corpses seem to be envoys from Tang Dynasty, and... seem to be... Baekje's envoys."

"what!?"

With a jerk, he stood up.

His eyes widened in shock.

The other envoys also widened their eyes one by one, also in disbelief.

"This... this is impossible!"

He looked at Shen Lian fiercely: "Shen Lian, is this your trick?"

Shen Lian laughed: "After dealing with Pu Jincheng, I rested here. Have you ever seen me go out? On the contrary, some of you envoys have gone out to the latrine. Why don't you say it's you?" What kind of tricks are you playing?"

"I….…"

Qihela froze for a moment.

Indeed, Shen Lian had been lying there lazily the whole time, not talking to anyone, it couldn't be him.

Moreover, the corpse was still found in the depths of Taiji Mountain, so it is impossible for it to be temporarily forged.

So…….
Could it be that this Baekje envoy is really a fake?
That's why Shen Lian was killed so happily?
wrong…….
Qihela stared fiercely... How did Shen Lian know that that person was a fake?
When did he know?

What the hell does this happen?

He was a little bewildered.

The corner of Shen Lian's mouth curled up, and he stood up slowly: "Let's go, Qin Shaoqing is here, and the corpse must have been brought too, everyone go and have a look."

After that, he walked out slowly.

A Bao followed Shen Lian and went out first, he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "My lord, did you prepare this in advance?"

Shen Lian said with a smile: "I'm not a god, how could I know in advance that I'm going to kill Baekje envoys today."

"That….…"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said meaningfully: "This is a nomination certificate to show his sincerity. Now it seems that he not only showed his sincerity, but also let me see his strength."

"It seems that the cooperation between me and Tianquan has been formally established."

With a swipe, Ah Bao stared fiercely: "Is this... made by Tianquan?"

Shen Lian didn't answer Ah Bao, because the other envoys followed suit.

He was afraid of being overheard by others, so he stopped mentioning the matter.

A Bao also noticed the envoys behind him, so he stopped talking and followed Shen Lian in silence.

Although Shen Lian didn't answer him, Ah Bao knew the truth from Shen Lian's reaction.

This matter was definitely done by Tianquan.

Moreover, it was Tianquan who rushed to help his lord!

The reason why my lord dealt with Pu Jincheng so unscrupulously was because he knew that Tianquan would take the initiative to help him calm down this matter.

Although he didn't know why the Lord was so sure that Tianquan would make a move.

But now it seems that the crisis of this matter is over.

This made A Bao feel relieved.

Everyone came to the courtyard.

Then I saw some yamen servants of Dali Temple, and some of them were standing in the courtyard at the moment.

Qin Ziyi in official uniform,

As soon as he saw Shen Lian, he hurried up to greet him: "Commander Shen, I'm late."

Shen Lian nodded slightly, and he cut to the chase: "I heard just now that you found some corpses in Taiji Mountain, maybe they were envoys from Baekje?"

The envoys behind him immediately looked at Qin Ziyi.

Qin Ziyi nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, just last night, someone came to report that some corpses were found in Taiji Mountain, and then I quickly sent people to investigate."

"Afterwards, we transported the corpses to the Yamen of Jingzhaoyin. After inspection, we found that these people died three days ago, but their appearance was ruined, and it was difficult for us to recognize their identities."

"Later, we checked their clothes and the things they carried with them, and finally determined that they might be envoys from Baekje."

The Tubo prince Qihela asked directly: "What do you rely on to think that they are the envoys of Baekje? You have said that their appearance has been destroyed, and their identities cannot be recognized at all, so why can you Do you think they are Baekje's envoys?"

The others also nodded quickly.

Qin Ziyi glanced at Qihela, seeing that he was from Tubo, his face turned cold.

Datang and Tubo both disliked each other.

Qin Ziyi said: "Since I dare to make such a conclusion, there is of course evidence!"

"First, come and see..."

At this time, Qin Ziyi led them to a corpse. He tore off the clothes on the arm of the corpse, and found a tattoo of an unknown fish on the arm. "

Qin Ziyi said: "Baekje relies on the sea and lives by the sea, so the god of the sea is their belief. Officials in Baekje will tattoo the god of the sea on their arms to pray for the god of the sea to bless them."

Qihela frowned: "Really?"

Shen Lian chuckled: "It's not His Highness Tubo's fault for ignorance, but I can suggest His Highness to ask the envoys of Goguryeo and Silla. They are adjacent to Baekje and should know best."

Chihela was ridiculed for ignorance by Shen Lian, and his face was extremely ugly, but he couldn't refute.

He snorted coldly, then looked at the envoys of Goguryeo and Silla, and asked, "Is that so?"

Both Goguryeo and Silla envoys nodded.

"Baekje has this tradition."

Qihela snorted coldly, his complexion turned a little ugly, and he said, "Even if you are right, but a tattoo can be done by other people, it can be forged."

"No no no."

Shen Lian said lightly: "Tattoos can be faked, but the age of tattoos cannot be faked."

"We can find someone who is familiar with tattoos to check and see how many years the tattoo has been. If it has just been tattooed, it is naturally doubtful, but if it has been tattooed for a few years, it shows that it must be a hundred years old. Economic officials... No one objects to this, right?"

All the envoys thought for a while, then shook their heads.

After all, no one knew that the Baekje envoy would be the first to attack, let alone that Shen Lian would kill someone without saying a word.

Therefore, if it was really forged by Shen Lian, then the tattoo could only have been made in the past few days.

If it had been a few years ago, no one would have known that there would be a Council of Nations at that time, so naturally it could be ruled out.

"I know something about tattoos."

At this time, the Japanese envoy stood up and said, "Let me see."

Shen Lian looked at the Japanese envoy who didn't have much sense of presence, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile, "Of course."

"However, one person's words are easy to lie, so it's better to find a few more people, so that everyone can be completely at ease."

The envoys of course agreed.

Soon, envoys from several other countries came out, all of which had the custom of tattooing totems.

They examined it together, and conferred with each other for a while.

Then someone said: "According to our estimation, this tattoo is at least ten years old."

Qihela's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief: "Really?"

He always felt that what Shen Lian killed was the real envoy, and he always felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

But these envoys, not everyone is lying, right?

Not to mention, there are envoys who are inclined to him.

So... Could it be that I was thinking wrong?

Could it be that the envoy that Shen Lian killed before was really a fake?
If that was the case, they would have missed another chance to deal with Shen Lian, and also missed a rare chance to rally other envoys.

This made his face very ugly.

Anthony and the others also had the same expression on their faces.

But in fact, it is true.

Seeing Qi Hela's ugly face, Qin Ziyi was immediately relieved.

He said, "His Royal Highness Tubo Prince, do you have any questions?"

"Hmph!" Qihela snorted coldly, and stopped responding.

Qin Ziyi sneered, and continued: "In addition, we also found a letter on someone's body. This letter was written by the emperor of Baekje, and it had the seal of the emperor of Baekje on it. I think it is because of this letter. They were kept close to their bodies, so they were not stolen by thieves, and this... has become an ironclad proof of their identities."

As he spoke, he took out the letter.

Everyone looked at it quickly, and they didn't know much about Baekje characters.

But they are all familiar with that seal.

The Goguryeo envoy said: "It is indeed the seal of the King of Baekje. I have seen it in Goguryeo."

This sentence is completely conclusive.

These people who died for three days are the real envoys of Baekje.

But before, the person who uttered nonsense and was beheaded by Shen Lian was a fake!
Therefore, not only did Shen Lian not make a mistake, but he made a great contribution!

This time, the expressions of everyone looking at Shen Lian changed again.

Zhao Hai, the minister of the Honghe Temple, looked a little silly.

He really didn't expect that things would develop like this.

Until now, he is still a little confused.

And Ah Bao was also very shocked in his heart, he knew that these corpses were actually gifts from Tianquan to please his lord.

He thinks it should be fake.

The one he chopped off should be the real one.

But now, after seeing so much evidence.

He also had doubts about his own cognition.

Which one is true and which one is false?

He was also a little confused.

Abao couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Master, which one is real and which one is fake?"

Shen Lian couldn't help smiling when he heard this.

"What? Confused?"

Abao nodded.

Shen Lian said meaningfully: "Be firm in your thinking, don't be confused by what you see in front of you, remember what I say, seeing is not necessarily believing... Think about what Yu Wencheng has done in the past, and look at it again. With such a trivial matter in front of you, you will understand...it’s really nothing if it’s false.”

Abao suddenly widened his eyes.

With fake and real!

So, everything you see is fake?

The evidence is false?
The dead body is also fake?
However, even if it was fake, everyone believed it!
This... Tianquan is truly terrifying!
Of course, adults think this is nothing, and there are loopholes everywhere.

But Abao knew that it only took less than an hour, and Tianquan could do this, which was already terrifying.

And according to what Qin Ziyi said, these corpses were discovered last night.

So... Did Tianquan know in advance that there would be problems?

Or, is it an adult who asked Tianquan to prepare in advance?
Abao found that his mind could not recognize the truth at all.

In fact, whether it is the right of heaven or my own adults, it is too scary.

And now, these two terrifying guys are going to join forces...
What the hell!

Really think about it, it makes people excited!
The appearance of these corpses made these envoys, even if they didn't want to believe it, they had to believe it.

They are the real envoys of Baekje!
Therefore, what Shen Lian killed was a fake envoy.

It's an evil thief!
Therefore, Shen Lian did nothing wrong at all, on the contrary, Shen Lian helped them find out the culprit and avoid danger.

They also want to thank Shen Lian!
Thinking of this, the faces of these envoys are so complicated!

Even the Tubo prince, Qihela, was blushing at this moment, but he couldn't say a single bad word.

Li Xiangyin, A Bao and others looked at Shen Lian's expression, their eyes glowed, they were really full of admiration.

Who would have thought that Shen Lian could easily reverse that situation!
As for Shen Lian, his expression was calm at this time, and there was no complacent expression on his face, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

He said in a concentrated voice: "First the envoy of Bolu was killed, and now the envoy of Baekje was killed, and even pretended to be..."

His eyes swept across the group of envoys, his eyes were dark and clear, as if he could see through the purity of everything.

This made some envoys subconsciously dare not look at Shen Lian's gaze, for fear that the secret in their hearts would be seen through by Shen Lian.

"I don't know which thieves did this, but it can be seen from the behavior of Baekje, the fake envoy, that he directly stood up to provoke my Tang Dynasty from the very beginning, intending to destroy the relationship between my Tang Dynasty and you. , intending to take advantage of my Datang."

"It can be seen from this... His purpose should be like this."

"so……."

Shen Lian withdrew his gaze from the faces of these envoys, and said calmly: "Before we have investigated who these thieves are, I feel that we can use this method to determine the identity of the thieves."

When Qihela and the others heard Shen Lian's words, their expressions suddenly changed.

They turned their heads very quickly, and they knew what Shen Lian meant almost instantly.

"Shen..."

But Shen Lian didn't give him a chance to speak at all, Shen Lian continued: "Therefore, before finding out the true identity of the thief, there may not be any thief hiding among you, so... If it happens again like before, For example, like the fake Baekje envoys, who provoke our Tang Dynasty, try to provoke conflicts between Datang and other countries, and try to take advantage of our Tang Dynasty... We can all suspect them as thieves!"
