Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 564 Are you okay! No interaction at all!
The first time Chu Suiliang heard the voice, his expression was startled, and then his eyes widened suddenly.

He looked directly at the stranger in front of him, a little excited and a little unbelievable.

He said uncertainly: "Master Shen?"

Then, he saw the stranger gently nod his head and said with a smile, "Do you recognize him?"

Chu Suiliang suddenly showed a look of great surprise.

He stood up quickly and said, "Sir, how could this... be you!"

"When did you come back?"

"Why don't you know this at all?"

Shen Lian looked at Chu Suiliang's excited look and chuckled: "I just arrived in Chang'an secretly yesterday. Now in the whole of Chang'an, except Han Min, you are the only one who knows that I'm back."

Return to Chang'an secretly?

Chu Suiliang's eyes flashed.

He walked directly to the door and said to the government servant outside: "There is nothing going on here. You can go do other things first. If necessary, I will come to find you."

Naturally, the Yamen officials would not disobey the order of Chu Suiliang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and leave quickly.

After they left, Chu Suiliang closed the door.

Then he came to Shen Lian. He hurriedly bowed to Shen Lian and said, "I have met Mr. Shen."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, there is no need to be polite."

After Chu Suiliang stood up, he looked at Shen Lian and said, "Master Shen returned secretly, but what is the purpose?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

He said: "At the beginning, I wanted to prevent Beidou from knowing about my return to Chang'an, so that Beidou would not set an ambush on the road."

"Later, I heard that Master Bai had an accident. When Master Bai had an accident, it happened to be right after I attacked the Beidou Club, so I suspected that there might be some influence from the Beidou Club in this matter."

"Therefore, I simply keep my identity hidden and secretly return to Chang'an to investigate this matter and determine whether it is related to the Beidou Society."

This was also the first time Han Min heard Shen Lian say this.

He looked at Shen Lian, and Chu Suiliang also hurriedly asked: "Sir, are you sure?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

"I'm 90% sure that what happened this time is related to the Beidou Society. In other words, Mr. Bai was plotted by the Beidou Society."

These words made Han Min's eyes widen subconsciously.

Chu Suiliang also frowned and said, "As expected."

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Actually, Xianguan also felt that Master Bai was plotted against. Therefore, even if Master Bai admitted that he was the one who did it, Xianguan did not close the case rashly."

"It's just that the lower official's strength is low. After all this time, the case still hasn't been investigated."

Shen Lian said: "This case is indeed difficult to investigate. If I hadn't suspected from the beginning that this might be something Beidou would do to retaliate against me, I wouldn't have a clear direction."

Chu Suiliang smiled bitterly and nodded.

Shen Lian said: "Master Bai is not the kind of person who easily conflicts with others, let alone someone who fights. Have you ever asked Master Bai why he wanted to fight with Zhou Qin?"

Chu Suiliang said: "The official asked, of course, but..."

"But Mr. Bai refuses to say?" Shen Lian said.

Chu Suiliang nodded, looked at Shen Lian and said, "Yes, I asked Master Bai earnestly and told Master Bai that this was related to the truth of the case, but Master Bai still refused to tell."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.

He knows Bai Yanguan.

Bai Yanguan had been the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for decades, and now he was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, so Bai Yanguan knew very well how to resolve the case.

........................

Therefore, it is impossible for him not to know how inappropriate it is to withhold important information.

But he still hid it.

It seems that... the reason why Bai Yanguan and Zhou Qin took action is difficult for Bai Yanguan to reveal?

Shen Lian pondered for a moment, then looked at Chu Suiliang and said, "Did Dali Temple encounter any trouble after I left?"

Chu Suiliang shook his head: "It's not a big deal. Your lords still care about your face."

"only……"

"Just what?" Shen Lian asked.

Chu Suiliang looked at Shen Lian and said, "It's just that after you left, the number of cases Dali Temple received was more than before."

........................

"I'm not sure if this is abnormal or not."

"Are there more cases than before?"

Shen Lian's eyes narrowed slightly. He pondered for a moment and said, "What kind of cases are they? Are they difficult cases or simple cases? Are they brought up by the local authorities or happened in Chang'an?"

Chu Suiliang said: "Most of them are simple cases. The number of these cases submitted by the local government is about 10% more than before, while the number of cases that occurred in Chang'an City is about 20% more."

"However, I have carefully reviewed these cases and there are no major problems with the evidence, so I am not sure if I am overthinking it. Maybe this is normal."

Shen Lian pursed his lips, and sat down directly, just like he used to sit in Dali Temple, and said: "Bring over all the files from the past few months, and let me take a look."

At this moment the sun shines through the window.

The light shining on Shen Lian's body seemed to be covered in a golden battle suit.

Listening to familiar words and looking at familiar people, Han Min and Chu Suiliang felt down to earth until this moment.

The Shen Lian of Dali Temple who made them all feel at ease is really back!

Not long after, Chu Suiliang had people move in the files from this period.

Several months of files piled up together formed a small mountain.

Han Min looked at these files with wide eyes, and his eyeballs almost fell out.

He couldn't help but said: "How many months did your Dali Temple accumulate so many cases?"

Chu Suiliang glanced at Han Min and said: "Cases from all over the Tang Dynasty must be submitted to Dali Temple for approval. Of course, the number will not be small."

“But these months have been particularly high.”

Han Min touched his nose.

Fortunately, my own Jing Zhaoyin only needs to take care of the cases in Chang'an City.

And once he encounters difficult cases, he can just hand them over to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment directly, so in a few months, although he has a lot of cases, they are not so many.

Han Min looked at the pile of files and couldn't help but said: "Master Shen, when do you have to see this?"

Shen Lian smiled and said: "These cases have been reviewed by Mr. Chu. There are no specific problems, so I only need to take a rough look. In this case, the speed will be much faster."

Shen Lian believed in Chu Suiliang's ability and conduct.

Therefore, he believed that as long as Chu Suiliang took over these cases, there would be absolutely no problems.

Therefore, he will not carefully check whether the case itself is perfect.

What he wants to see is the overall case situation.

Shen Lian quickly began to look through the files.

His speed is very fast, almost at a glance. When I was reading this dossier, my hand was already holding the next dossier.

The next file is opened, and the next file is in hand.

Han Min looked at the speed at which he was reading the files as if he were flipping through a book, and couldn't help but feel that he had learned a lot.

It turns out that Mr. Shen checked the files so quickly.

He compared it with Shen Lian, and he felt that if he read one file, Master Shen could read dozens of them.

This difference in efficiency made him give Shen Lian a thumbs up again.

And more importantly, he knew that even if he spent so much time reading it, he might not be able to discover anything.

But Mr. Shen flipped through it so quickly. As long as there was a problem, it would never escape Mr. Shen's eyes.

There is really no comparison between people!
Fortunately, in Han Min's heart, Shen Lian was no longer at a level that normal people could achieve.

So he was already prepared.

In this way, Shen Lian finished looking through this mountain of files in more than an hour.

Then Shen Lian closed his eyes.

The brain started spinning crazily.

When Chu Suiliang and Han Min saw this, they both held their breath.

For fear of disturbing Shen Lian.

With just half a stick of incense left, Shen Lian slowly opened his eyes.

Han Min hurriedly asked: "Master Shen, how are you doing?"

Shen Lian took out a breath and said, "There is indeed a problem."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Suiliang and Han Min's eyes widened slightly.

Chu Suiliang asked unexpectedly: "What's the problem?"

Shen Lian said: "Crime will not increase or decrease rashly."

"It is directly related to the security situation and the stability of the court."

"During this period of time, there has been no turmoil in the court, and Chang'an is still as stable as ever, so normally, the crime rate should not increase rashly!"

"So from the beginning, I thought there was something wrong with this."

"It's just that these ideas are still somewhat subjective."

He looked at the two of them: "In order to verify my guess, I looked through the case files that occurred during this period."

"I found that cases of theft and robberies are on par with other months and are in a stable state, with almost no increase or even a slight decrease."

"I think this is normal, because the public security in Datang is getting better and better."

"But the total number of cases has increased, but the number of theft and robbery cases has not increased, which means that only one type of cases has increased."

The two of them looked at Shen Lian hurriedly.

Then Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "Murder!"

"I looked through these files and found that the number of homicides has skyrocketed in the past few months."

"At the same time, the crime detection rate has also skyrocketed!"

"You must know that the most difficult case to solve among all cases is the homicide case, because the murderer will try his best to cover it up because he does not want to pay for his life. Therefore, normally, ten cases of homicide can be solved in a short time. There are less than three cracked inside. This is the normal probability. "

"But in these files, there are ten cases, and they were solved almost in the same month as the case. There are eight in total. What does this mean?"

Han Min said with admiration: "What?"

Shen Lian took a deep breath, squinted his eyes, and said, "Someone deliberately increases the case detection rate so that the case can be completed quickly and avoid attracting more attention!"

Shen Lian's words immediately stunned Chu Suiliang and Han Min.

After the two of them understood what Shen Lian meant, their eyes widened slightly.

Han Min couldn't help but said: "Your Excellency said...someone deliberately wanted the case to be closed as soon as possible to avoid being noticed."

"Are these cases all perjury? They weren't really cracked, but someone just forged evidence clues to quickly close the case?"

When Chu Suiliang heard this, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

After all, these cases all passed through his hands.

He approved it.

If what Han Min said really happened, wouldn't it mean that he would have many unjust, false and wrong cases in his hands.

When he thought of this, his face suddenly turned pale.

But Shen Lian shook his head slightly.

He glanced at Han Min and said, "Don't scare Mr. Chu."

Han Min was startled.

Chu Suiliang looked at Shen Lian hurriedly.

Shen Lian said: "I have seen these evidences, and the evidence chain is no problem and is completely closed."

"If someone really forged it, then witnesses and physical evidence would be required. Almost every aspect would have to be forged, but this is not an easy task."

"Not to mention there are so many cases. If we fabricate evidence in every case, it would be impossible."

"So, even though some of them may be fake, most of them are absolutely fine."

"The murderer is the same murderer, but the case was solved too quickly."

Having said this, Shen Lian looked at Han Min and said, "Han Min, I also saw the case that you Jing Zhaoyin solved."

"Among them, there is a case where Qianniu Wei was killed on the street at night after curfew. Do you still remember it?"

Han Min thought for a while, then nodded quickly: "Of course I remember, Qian Niuwei's status is extraordinary after all, it is related to His Majesty's safety, so I don't dare to relax at all."

"How long did it take for you to solve the case?" Shen Lian asked.

Han Min didn't think much and said: "Two days!"

"Two days?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "How does this speed compare with your other cases?"

"This……"

Han Min immediately understood what Shen Lian meant.

He hurriedly said: "Master Shen, what you mean is... that the case of Xiaguan was solved too quickly?"

Shen Lian said: "Tell me about the situation of this case."

Han Min thought for a while and said: "This is an unexpected incident. After the curfew that day, Qian Niuwei went home on duty."

"But on the road, I saw a man running in a hurry, holding a baggage in his hand. Qianniuwei saw that something was wrong, so he scolded the man and called him to stop."

"It turned out that the man was a thief who had just stolen some precious jewelry, but was discovered by the owner. He was worried that the owner would report him to the police, so he ran away in a hurry."

"Then he saw Qianniu Guard. He thought Qianniu Guard was coming to arrest him. In panic, he attacked Qianniu Guard without his attention and stabbed Qianniu Guard in the chest with a knife."

"He then ran away."

"This case was originally not easy to investigate. After all, the murderer and the deceased had no intersection at all. Using normal means to deduce it bit by bit, it is obviously not easy to investigate."

"Unexpectedly, that night, the thief was discovered by a family who got up at night. Although that family did not see the scene of the crime, they found the thief running away in panic. Moreover, that family also happened to Yes, I’ve seen thieves.”
