Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 590 Suddenly, there was a flash! The only way!
Was there someone who had even hidden it from him?
While he was away, I secretly replaced the cabinet here?

But if it was a different cabinet, it would be so obvious that the bully would not have noticed it... unless the two cabinets were very similar.

Even, it is a type.

Shen Lian's eyes suddenly flashed.

He felt that this was possible.

Because many things in the Beidou Tower, including the fake Beidou Tower made by Beichen, are related to the Beidou Goddess.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there is a cabinet exactly the same as the one once used by the Goddess of Beidou placed on the Beidou Tower.

The only difference between the two cabinets is that a small piece of wood is missing from one corner.

Unless you are very familiar with the cabinet, it is difficult to find.

Shen Lian didn't think that the bully would remember exactly what the corner of the cabinet looked like.

"Who would have done this, then?"

"What is the purpose?"

Shen Lian was confused.

But there is one thing he is sure of, the bully is really lucky.

No matter who did it, as long as they have connection with Beidou Niangniang and Beichen, it would be impossible for a bully to survive in the hands of the other party. His luck is really not bad.

Shen Lian guessed that someone was worried that the death of the bully would attract the attention of him, the Lord of the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, this bully might not be alive today.

Shen Lian shook his head. He looked at this special cabinet, his brain working frantically.

"Who exactly is it? Why did they move it here from such a distant Nanzhao?"

Shen Lian was thinking in his mind.

At this moment, even Shen Lian felt a little confused.

Because he couldn't even find a single suspect.

First of all, the believers of Beidou Temple who are loyal to Beidou Niangniang will definitely not do this.

After all, that cabinet is their limited commemoration of Goddess Beidou. They have placed the cabinet on the sixth floor, which also shows how much they value this cabinet.

Moreover, they didn't know about the house that Beidou Niangniang had in Chang'an.

If he had known, there would have been no way he had not told Shen Lian at that time.

Shen Lian has already accepted their commission. It can be said that Qin Wenyuan is their last hope. It is impossible for them to hide anything from Shen Lian.

Therefore, it is impossible for the people from Beidou Temple!
What about the Beidou Club members in Beichen?

Shen Lian also thought it was impossible.

Beichen's love for Beidou Niangniang turned into hatred, and he was now filled with hatred.

Under such circumstances, Shen Lian didn't think that Beichen would move a cabinet of Queen Beidou from far away.

And if it was really Beichen who did it, then given the hatred between Shen Lian and Beichen, Shen Lian didn't think that Beichen would watch him come here safely and find the clues.

In other words, if it was really Beichen who did it, he should be in danger now.

Instead of leisurely searching for clues.

Not to mention, Queen Beidou specially hid the keys and the title deeds, and Shen Lian didn't think that Beichen could know where they were.

Otherwise, since this place is so important to Goddess Beidou, Beichen should have moved the house here to the Beidou Tower he built.

Therefore, based on various reasons, it can be inferred that this was not done by Beichen.

But it was neither done by Beidou Temple of Beidou Goddess, nor by Beichen's Beidou Club, so who did it?
Who else could go to Beidou Tower quietly and know that there is a similar cabinet here?
Shen Lian frowned slightly.

His brain was working frantically.

At this moment, Shen Lian was like a high-speed CPU, performing hundreds of thousands of calculations per second.

Suddenly, Shen Lian opened his eyes wide!
He suddenly thought of a possibility!
Someone who meets all the requirements, but I never thought of him at the beginning!
Goddess Beidou!

That’s right, Goddess of Heaven and Earth!
This was originally the residence of Beidou Niangniang, and no one knows the situation here better than her!
The Beidou Tower is also the place that Beidou Goddess is most familiar with!
So, if it were her, she could definitely do all of this.

It is completely possible to replace the cabinet without telling anyone.

only……

Shen Lian frowned.

In his judgment, the current situation of Queen Beidou should be very bad.

Or, something has happened to the Queen Mother Beidou.

Or, Beidou Niangniang was secretly imprisoned somewhere by Beichen.

So, why would Beidou Niangniang do this?
Could it be that Queen Beidou has other forces?
Shen Lian shook his head.

he does not know.

He hoped from the bottom of his heart that this was the work of the Goddess of Beidou.

Because if it was Queen Beidou, it meant that Queen Beidou was at least still alive.

This is the best news!

But Shen Lian's reason told him that this possibility existed, but it was not high.

After all, if Niangniang Beidou was free, why did she disappear for so many years? Why did she watch Beichen insult her Beidou Temple silently?
Based on the deeds of Beidou Niangniang that he had read, he could infer Beidou Niangniang's character.

The Queen Mother of Beidou is definitely not the kind of person who can endure.

Shen Lian shook his head and let out a breath of foul air.

"In fact, there is another person who may be able to do this!"

Shen Lian said to himself: "Dad!"

His father has a very close relationship with Goddess Beidou.

Even I was raised by my father, which shows that maybe I was entrusted to my father by the Queen Mother Beidou!
The house of the Queen Mother Beidou happens to be in Chang'an City where my father is on duty.

Dad might not be unaware of this place.

Shen Lian also suspected that his father knew more secrets of Beidou Goddess. He even suspected that his father might know the whereabouts of Beidou Goddess.

Therefore, in this case, it is not unacceptable that my father can do these things.

But if it was really done by my dad, what’s the reason?
What's the purpose?
Dad won't just sit there doing nothing, so go do these things!
Shen Lian thought about it while checking the cabinet.

He opened the two top drawers one by one.

I saw that the drawer on the left was empty.

The drawer on the right was also empty.

However, Shen Lian's eyes suddenly narrowed.

His spatial perception is very strong, and his insight is terrifyingly strong.

So, this drawer that seemed empty to others, in Shen Lian's eyes, one was high and one was low!

What does this mean?
“The drawer has a mezzanine!”

There is a mezzanine!
This was what Shen Lian thought of in an instant.

As a detective, Shen Lian has a strong insight into many details.

Whether in the previous life or in this life which has been enhanced by the system, its sense of space is extremely strong.

So, other people may not see any difference between the two drawers.

But Shen Lian could see it clearly at a glance.

He quickly took out the drawer that looked shallower.

Then just turn it upside down.

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.

He took out the key.

Look at the key carefully.

He discovered that this key was somewhat special.

It is obviously different from ordinary keys.

This key is cone-shaped and has very complicated buckles on it. One can tell at a glance that the lock that can be opened by this key is definitely not simple.

Shen Lian recalled and was sure that he had never seen a similar lock that required this kind of key to open.

"What kind of lock would need this key to open?" What is the purpose of Niangdi Beidou hiding this key here?
And the mysterious man sent this cabinet here, could it be... just to send the key here?
Shen Lian solved a secret of the cabinet, but found that he had another question.

He checked the two drawers carefully again, and after making sure that there was no problem with both of them, he no longer paid attention to the drawers.

Shen Lian carefully put the key away.

Then he continued to look towards the cabinet.

There's nothing left in the two drawers on top of the cabinet.

Next, all that's left is to check the bottom cabinet to see if there's anything there.

Shen Lian squatted down and opened the cabinet door directly.

At this time, he found that the cabinet was empty.

There was nothing in the cupboard.

Nothing happened to him.

If that's what's in this cabinet, that would be strange.

After all, if you want to hide it from that guy, you have to make the cabinet exactly the same as the previous one.

If there was nothing in the previous cabinet, then there will be nothing in this cabinet either.

Otherwise, it will be discovered immediately.

As for the bully, all his clothes were in the closet outside, and he didn't even have a bedding, so you can imagine that he didn't have anything else.

Therefore, this cabinet should be empty.

Shen Lian carefully checked the cabinet, and after making sure that there were no compartments or mechanisms inside, he closed the door.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Although there is only one key, it has actually met my expectations."

"I was prepared to find nothing."

"After all, this house has been here for more than ten years."

"Besides, this place has been occupied by others for two years."

"Maybe there won't be any clues."

"It's enough to find this key now."

Not to mention... I also truly know my life experience and where I was born!

Shen Lian said in his heart.

This is already a great gain for him.

In the past, he felt very confused about his life experience.

He just felt as if he was living in a fog.

And now, his life experience is gradually becoming clear.

He knew where he was born and where he came from.

This has cleared up a lot of mysteries about his life.

Shen Lian took a deep breath and then let out a long breath.

He looked around the bedroom again, his eyes moving inch by inch in the bedroom...

This was where he was born!

Here, he and his mother are the only ones who depend on each other.

Although the time was not long, Shen Lian felt that this place was full of familiarity and warmth.

It was as if this was really his home.

Shen Lian is a person who cherishes old times.

With his current status and position, he could definitely own a brand new mansion.

But Shen Lian still lives in that dilapidated courtyard.

That's because that is where his spiritual home is and where he and his father live.

Now, he found where his real mother lived and where he was born.

His heart immediately fell in love with this place.

Staying here, he just felt as if he could feel the love of his mother.

It was an indescribable sense of security.

When Shen Lian left the house, he took out the original padlock of the house and locked the door tightly.

And the key that Beidou Niangniang left for her is the key to open this door.

Shen Lian had obtained a special order from Li Shimin, allowing him to enter the palace unimpeded without any notification.

"I promised him that as long as he wants to find clues, I will support him completely."

"so……"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it. Once they enter the inner storehouse, don't let anyone disturb them. No matter what they take, don't stop them."

The shadow guard was slightly startled.

He knew that Li Shimin valued Shen Lian.

But no one expected that Li Shimin's attention to Shen Lian had reached such an unprincipled level.

That’s the inner treasury!

It is the most precious place that Li Shimin would lock up if anyone else took a second look at it.

But for Shen Lian, Li Shimin said it didn't matter what was moved away!
Isn't this an unparalleled grace?
The shadow guard nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I know."

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.

He had to convey Li Shimin's order to prevent anyone from being blind and stopping Shen Lian and the others.

After he left, Li Shimin put down the cinnabar pen in his hand.

He looked out the window.

The view is far-reaching.

"Going to the inner storehouse...what is it for?"

"My inner treasury is full of rare treasures... If it were someone else, it wouldn't be surprising if they were greedy, but Shen Lian would never be interested in these."

"So, what is Shen Lian interested in?"

at the same time.

Imperial Palace, in front of the inner treasury.

The Neiku is located in the northeast of the imperial palace, which is a relatively remote location.

Moreover, the area of ​​the inner storehouse is not large, only about 100 square meters.

In Li Shimin's view, the Neiku, his personal small treasury, was not suitable to be too publicized.

So choosing a remote location and a smaller house will be enough.

Of course, even though it is so remote, the defense of the Neiku is not inferior to any other place in the imperial palace. In fact, the level of defense is only weaker than that of Li Shimin.

After all, this is Li Shimin's only personal financial storage place.

It is just like the salary card of workers in later generations.

Anything can be lost, but the salary card must not be lost.

Otherwise, it would be like the sky falling.

The same was true of Li Shimin.

Although he was the emperor and owned the entire country, all the money belonged to the national treasury. He was responsible for the entire country and could not use the money in the national treasury easily.

So, he wanted to do something personal.

For example, the money for secret visits, rewards to meritorious officials, or for one's own children, wives and concubines, all had to come from the inner treasury.

The inner treasury is an extremely important link for him to maintain many relationships.

Naturally, there must be no loss.

Shen Lian had only heard of the name of Neiku before, but had never been there.

On the only road they had just walked on, Shen Lian discovered that there were no less than ten visible and hidden agents, and no less than three teams of patrolling guards.

Anyone who wants to get close to the inner treasury can only take that one road.
