Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

They stared wide-eyed and opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at the two people in the pool of blood, their hearts filled with turmoil.

Abao's eyes suddenly widened and he said, "Master, what you mean is... these two people, they, they are all Beichen's subordinates?"

"They died to keep Beichen's secret?"

Ali and others were also busy looking at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian walked slowly towards the window. As he walked, he said calmly: "When the clues and evidence point to this point, no matter how shocking their pointing is, it is the truth."

"The room Beichen lived in didn't give him a chance to escape at all, and he didn't go to the lobby on the first floor, and he didn't have a chance to go out through the door."

"But he did disappear, so...how did he disappear?"

"No one in this world can disappear out of thin air. No one has such ability, even Beichen!"

"So, he must have gotten away somehow."

"And there are no secret passages and organs in the inn, so if you want to attract people's attention and not be discovered by others, there is only such a room that can do it!"

Shen Lian walked to the window, pushed hard with both hands, and pushed the window open.

The fresh air from outside blows in, sweeping away the heat in the entire room.

Shen Lian looked out the window and said: "Only here, there are alleys with few people, and there are no people in the backyard to leave."

"As for someone as cautious as Beichen, it's impossible for him not to leave a way out for himself, so this room..."

"Obviously, it's Beichen's retreat!"

"He purposely rented this place to his confidant as his way out. If something happens, he can leave here quickly!"

"And in order not to let us know about his departure from here as quickly as possible, his two confidants can only stay here to delay the time, so that we cannot know in time that Beichen left from here."

"Thus providing the greatest opportunity for Beichen's evacuation."

"And when Beichen left safely, their value would be gone, so they were afraid of revealing the secrets about Beichen and the Big Dipper Society, so they used this method to prevent themselves from revealing the secrets forever by dying."

"This is their loyalty to Beichen, so I just said that they are really two loyal people."

When everyone heard Shen Lian's words, they didn't know what they were thinking.

All in all...complicated.

Beichen's cunning was difficult to deal with.

The loyalty of these two people who sacrificed their lives...

They didn't know that they should hate these two people, and they lost the best chance to hunt Beichen.

It should be admired, at least...a loyal person is worthy of respect.

Shen Lian waved his hand and said: "Ah Bao, let someone collect their bodies. Regardless of their camps, their loyalty without fear of life and death is worth burying them."

Abao nodded quickly: "Yes, I understand."

Shen Lian looked out the window and saw that the window faced a remote alley...

The alley is not too big, and it is connected to the back doors of some nearby mansions.

And the back door is usually the place where servants go out occasionally.

In this era, servants have very little freedom.

Therefore, there are very few people in the alley, and sometimes no one may pass by in a day.

And the other end of the alley is directly connected to the bustling main road.

So if he could enter the alley, change his appearance, disguise himself, and blend in with the crowd, even the gods would not be able to find this cunning fox in the city of Chang'an with nearly a million people.

Shen Lian walked to another window, opened it, and saw the backyard of the inn outside the window.

The backyard is usually where the mistress and the cook live.

When busy, the backyard is basically deserted.

There is also a back door in the backyard, and the back door is a lively road.

Therefore, no matter where you go, as long as no one pays attention to this place in advance, you will not be discovered.

Coupled with the fact that these two stayed here, even Chu Suiliang was deceived, no one paid attention to the room here, and naturally lost the best chance to hunt down.

Therefore, now Beichen, now that the mud dragon has entered the sea, it is very difficult to find.

However, although Beichen escaped.

But the clues he left behind are indelible.

And this will also become Shen Lian's biggest reliance on Beichen.

"I couldn't help it before, I didn't know anything about you, but now...you already have an image in my mind."

"Beichen, do you think you can really escape from my grasp?"

The breeze blows slowly, blowing the willow branches and swaying.

Shen Lian looked away from the window, and there was no disappointment or shame on his face because of Beichen's escape.

Some are just calm and indifferent.

It was as if Beichen's final escape had no impact on Shen Lian at all.

Shen Lian glanced at everyone and said, "Let's go. Since Beichen has escaped, there is no use staying here."

After saying that, he calmly stepped out of the room.

Chu Suiliang chased after him and couldn't help but said: "Don't you care, Commander Shen? We are just a little bit close to catching Beichen."

Hearing this, Shen Lian chuckled lightly.

He was very chic and straightforward, and said with a smile: "For people like us, there are only two results in everything, either we can do it or we can't do it."

"There's never been such a thing as a close margin."

"Let's not say it was just a little bit close, even if the officer had already caught Beichen's arm, Beichen cut off his arm cruelly, and then escaped... That still didn't change the result of his escape, and in the end it was still the same. Didn't do it."

"Therefore, if you don't do it, you don't do it. I never think about things that are almost or not."

"Because the facts are already there, no matter how much you think about it, what else is there besides leaving yourself with a sad sigh?"

What Shen Lian said was simple and clear.

Anything, with him, there are only two results.

Did it, didn't do it!

Apart from this, there is no third result and emotion.

So feelings of disappointment and regret absolutely do not exist in Qin Wenyuan's place.

Because Shen Lian never bothers others.

He will only think about the next goal, if he fails to achieve it this time, it will be fine next time.

Instead of regretting that you can do it just a little bit.

This kind of emotion is the most useless to him.

That's why he can be so chic and indifferent.

It felt to Chu Suiliang, as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of the world, and Chu Suiliang only felt admiration.

After all, Chu Suiliang himself could not do what Qin Wenyuan did.

From Chu Suiliang's point of view, this is already the kind of idea that can only be possessed by an outsider.

But he did not.

In troubled times, how many people can see clearly?

Shen Lian just walked out of the inn without any hesitation and said: "Retreat all the troops. There is no need to continue to guard the inn. It will affect the business of the inn and make the people more nervous." He looked at Chu Suiliang and said : "Mr. Chu, you will officially enter the Dali Temple to serve."

"After this incident, His Majesty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have already known your ability, and will be grateful for what you have done."

"So your road in Dali Temple has been paved. When handling cases in the future, they will cooperate with you even if they only look at the kindness this time. You don't have to worry about meeting Hou Junji like I did at the beginning. The kind of person who doesn't cooperate."

When Chu Suiliang heard the words, his heart moved.

His eyes widened slightly, and he realized only now that the reason why Shen Lian used this to test him was not only to see his true ability, but also to pave the way for him!

After all, Chu Suiliang was a former official!

After all, Chu Suiliang had never entered the inner circle before.

Therefore, Chu Suiliang hastily joined the inner circle and still held such an important position as Shaoqing, which would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others.

But after what happened today, they will never be dissatisfied with Chu Suiliang again.

Therefore, Chu Suiliang's future journey will go smoothly!
At least, it will be smoother than Shen Lian at that time.

And all of this is Shen Lian's plan.

Shen Lian unknowingly solved these troubles for Chu Suiliang!
one stone two bird!
Brilliant!

At this moment, Chu Suiliang realized the true horror of Shen Lian.

In silence, control everything.

This ability is truly terrifying!
Likewise, Chu Suiliang admired and respected Shen Lian even more.

He was smart enough to understand Shen Lian's painstaking efforts on him.

He took a deep breath, then bowed heavily to Shen Lian, and said, "I'd like to thank you, Commander Shen!"

"From now on, the subordinate officials will be guided by Commander Shen. As long as Commander Shen orders them, no matter whether they are on mountains of swords or seas of fire, they will do it!"

"If you violate this oath, you will be struck by lightning!"

With firm eyes, Chu Suiliang made the oath directly.

As for Shen Lian, he just helped Chu Suiliang up and patted his shoulder gently.

His eyes are deep, like stars shining.

At this moment, the corners of Shen Lian's mouth raised slightly.

His purpose, at this time, is truly achieved.

When everyone returned to the inn, the inn had returned to peace.

The envoys of all the countries were also arranged to leave the post station and go to live in other places temporarily.

Next, Datang will appease the envoys of various countries, and continue to convene the parliament of the cat-changing alliance.

Set up some rules and regulations or something.

However, these do not belong to Shen Lianguan.

Shen Lian has eliminated all potential crises.

And after going through this series of events, these envoys' recognition of Datang has also reached its peak.

Therefore, the next Council of Nations will not have any problems.

Based on the good impression Datang gave them and their gratitude to Datang, as long as Datang didn't put forward the straightforward condition of letting them directly become the vassal state of Datang, they would hardly refuse it.

So, here's the thing.

Shen Lian is no longer interested in taking care of the affairs of the Alliance of Nations.

Shen Lian really couldn't be interested in things that were going smoothly.

And he is a lord after all, so it is more appropriate to entrust Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji to handle matters related to the diplomacy of various countries.

Negotiation, they are good at.

The old bastard Changsun Wuji is best at designing traps in the regulations that are beneficial to Datang.

Therefore, Shen Lian's mission is completed here.

Next, he can also relax a bit and focus more on facing some battles of the Big Dipper Club.

Li Shimin also knew that Shen Lian was not willing to do the next thing, so he did not force Qin Wenyuan.

The two took a walk in the deserted inn.

Li Shimin said: "Shen Lian, it's really thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what Datang would have become."

"This time, Beidouhui is really daring, and it really almost deceived the whole world. Without you, I really can't imagine what it would be like."

When Shen Lian heard Li Shimin's words, he smiled slightly.

He said: "Since Your Majesty has entrusted this matter to the humble official, then the humble official should do his best."

"I have a habit of this person, that is, I will repay what others treat me."

"So, Your Majesty said that it is thanks to the minister, rather it is His Majesty's trust in the minister. It is His Majesty who has no doubts about me and dares to entrust Datang's future to me, so that Datang won this victory."

"As long as His Majesty has a little doubt about the minister, and if the minister's arrangement in some places is hindered a little, today's result may not be like this."

"Looking at history, how many people can trust their subordinates like His Majesty and let them do their best?"

"Perhaps, only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's trust in the champion Hou Huo Qubing can be compared."

"The rest of the emperors cannot compare with His Majesty!"

Li Shimin has no shortage of flattery.

There is no shortage of praise.

But after hearing these words from Shen Lian, he still couldn't help but feel happy and cheerful.

Because Shen Lian is different from others.

Shen Lian represents the top minds in the Chu Palace, so in Li Shimin's opinion, one word of praise from Shen Lian is better than the praise from ten or a hundred other people.

Not to mention, Shen Lian kept everything he said from the bottom of his heart.

What Li Shimin is most proud of is his trust in his subjects.

After he ascended the throne, not only did he not try to hide everything, but he reused these heroes and put all his trust in them.

All of this made Li Shimin himself proud.

Shen Lian cut in from this angle and took Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, whom Li Shimin admired, as an example. He simply captured the point where Li Shimin was most comfortable.

Make Li Shimin so comfortable!
The more Li Shimin looked at Shen Lian, the more he liked him.

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Okay, let's leave it as it is."

Shen Lian nodded.

After chatting for a while, they left.

After Shen Lian and Li Shimin separated, they prepared to return to the Yamen of Dali Temple to settle the matter.

Wan Bang's coming to Tang, from now on, does not need him to spend any more effort.

He has already relied on his own ability to make the rumors of Wanbang coming to the court that have been raging in the public opinion completely become a fact.

With the establishment of the League of Nations, it became an established fact that Datang became the leader of the alliance.

As the envoys of various countries have more and more recognition and gratitude towards Datang, it is already a real fact that all nations have come to court.

No one can say that this is not the coming of all nations!
At the same time, this time, all nations came to court, and the number of countries was unprecedented!
