Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 632 That is! No doubt about it!
I saw that this place was renovated and very bright.

Stand in front of the door and look inside.

You can see that the ground is white and smooth.

You can see lifelike patterns carved on the pillars.

You can see a platform inside.

There is a spacious open space around the platform.

There are some display stands in the open space, each of which is marked with the name of a country.

Wait until the International Chamber of Commerce is held.

Merchants from all countries can put the products they think are most distinctive on the display stands.

For people passing by to enjoy.

There are many shops on the second and third floors.

There are the stalls specially built by merchants from various countries.

From now on, these merchants can sell and buy things here.

The decoration of the entire venue can be said to be very pleasing to the eye.

Even Shen Lian, who had seen countless exhibition halls in later life, was dazzled.

Just like the decoration of Yuchuntang’s main store, it is completely different from the common decoration styles of this era.

But it is more suitable for commercial transactions.

This venue.

The first floor is the exhibition hall, and the second and third floors are sales floors.

There is also a platform for roadshows in the exhibition hall.

It can be said that almost everything that is needed has been thought of.

Even the venues in later generations are of this level.

Shen Lian looked at Wu Shiqi and said, "Master Wu's decoration style is innovative and eye-catching, which is very good."

"I wonder how Master Wu came up with this decoration style?"

Wang Xiaohua was also curious and asked, "Yes, Lord Wu, how did you come up with this idea? It looks so high-end and grand, and it shows the grandeur of our Tang Dynasty to the fullest."

Wu Shiqi smiled and said, "Actually, this is not what I thought."

"Not you?"

Shen Lian asked: "Is it the Ministry of Industry?"

Wu Shiqi shook his head again: "It's not the Ministry of Industry either."

"That is?"

Wu Shiqi said a little embarrassedly: "It's my daughter who gave me a headache."

"Oh, she gives me so much headache, I don't even want to mention her."

"And if I mention her at this time, it always feels like I'm deliberately praising my daughter, so I'm a little embarrassed to say it."

Shen Lian: "..."

Why is it Wu Meiniang again?
He suddenly had a premonition that he would hear this name repeatedly within one day.

Is this destined?

Is it destined that he and Wu Meiniang will come into contact?

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.

Wang Xiaohua didn't know what Shen Lian was thinking.

Her eyes were bright, and she couldn't help but say, "Miss Wu, this is too amazing!"

"And you can come up with the idea of ​​the International Chamber of Commerce."

“How can you come up with this kind of decoration style again!”

"Master Wu, can I go meet Miss Wu? What kind of a wonderful woman is Miss Wu? I really want to meet her."

The warrior was about to nod modestly.

Then a pleasant voice came from behind: "Miss Wang, I am actually just an ordinary woman. I just read more books and think a lot. I am actually not as powerful as you think."

When Wang Xiaohua heard this, she quickly turned around.

I saw a woman in plain dress coming behind them at some point.

She has a slim figure and fair complexion.

She has delicate features and is very beautiful.

And her temperament is even more extraordinary.

As soon as one looks at her, one can tell that the woman in front of them is very special.

"Miss Wu?" Wang Xiaohua asked.

The woman nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Wu Meiniang."

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly introduced: "Just call me Wang Xiaohua."

Wu Meiniang looked at Wang Xiaohua, her eyes brightening, and she said, "I've heard of Miss Wang."

"Miss Wang joined the Dali Temple as a woman and became a member of the Dali Temple."

"Moreover, Miss Wang is as capable as any man, she is very skilled and her performance is outstanding. I have long wanted to meet Miss Wang, but I didn't expect to meet her here."

"It seems like we are really destined to be together."

Wang Xiaohua was already interested in Wu Meiniang.

She was also very happy to hear Wu Meiniang's words at this moment.

The two girls talked to each other for a few words before they began to call each other sisters.

Shen Lian was stunned by this scene.

It is said that women are easy to make friends with.

I just heard about it before.

Now he saw it with his own eyes.

Wu Shiqi then hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?"

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "I heard that my father was in some trouble, so I wanted to come here to see if I could find out anything to help my father."

When Wu Shiqi heard what Wu Meiniang said, he hurriedly said, "Nonsense!"

"I have found Lord Shen. With Lord Shen taking action, why do you have to make trouble?"

"Shen Lian has solved countless cases. He is very meticulous and observant. He will definitely find out everything. You should go back quickly and don't cause any more trouble here."

Upon hearing this, Wu Meiniang looked at Shen Lian.

He leaned slightly towards Shen Lian and said, "This humble lady greets Lord Shen."

Shen Lian sighed in his heart.

It seems there is no way to escape.

He nodded slightly, acting very politely, and said: "Since she is Lord Wu's daughter, there is no need to be polite. I know that you respect your father. Don't worry about this matter. I will handle it seriously."

Shen Lian deliberately acted a little distant.

He specifically mentions the name of Samurai.

The purpose is to distinguish the boundaries between the two people.

Wu Meiniang glanced at Shen Lian, wondering if he understood what Shen Lian meant.

She smiled and said, "I have long heard of the legend of Lord Shen, the smartest man in the Tang Dynasty. Today, I am fortunate enough to see Lord Shen take action with my own eyes. I am very happy."

"I hope that next, I can see Lord Shen find clues and uncover the truth."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.

Wu Meiniang said this.

Why do I feel like I want to test my own strengths and weaknesses?

I just want to know if I am worthy of the reputation?

Or was it that he felt uncomfortable because he could hear how deliberately unfamiliar I had just been?
Shen Lian didn't know what Wu Meiniang was thinking.

But he didn't care.

Shen Lian was not prepared to curry favor with this extraordinary woman, Wu Meiniang.

He looked at Wu Shiqi and said, "Master Wu, can you call the groom?"

Wu Shiqi nodded quickly: "Of course, the groom is here."

Having said that, Wu Shiqi asked someone to call the groom over.

The groom trotted over quickly.

He looked to be in his forties, slightly hunched over, and looked very simple and honest.

Wu Shiqi said, "Sir Shen, this is the groom of my Wu Mansion."

"He has been with me for ten years. He has been driving horses for me or my family in the Wu Mansion. If you have any questions, just ask him."

The groom also said hurriedly: "Greetings, Master Shen. You can just call me Wu San. I will tell you everything I know."

Hearing this, Shen Lian nodded slightly.

He looked at the groom and said, "Can you describe the situation in detail for me?"

The groom nodded and said, "Of course."

He said, "This morning, I drove the horse to take you here, and then you went to the meeting place to get busy." "And I led the carriage to the corner."

He pointed ahead and said, "It's here."

Shen Lian looked in the direction the coachman pointed.

That was at the edge of the venue, near the wall.

The groom said, “After I put the carriage there, I thought about giving the horses some water.”

"Then the younger one took the bucket out of the cart, drew some water, and gave it to the horse to drink."

"After the horses have finished drinking, the little ones will start to clean up."

"After that, the little one sat on the shaft to rest."

"Afterwards, about a quarter of an hour later, the master returned and said he was going to the Ministry of Revenue. I immediately untied the reins of the horse and invited the master to get into the carriage."

"But in the end, as soon as the master went in, he found the letter."

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "That's the whole story."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

When he looked towards where the carriage was parked, he happened to pass by Wu Meiniang.

He then discovered that Wu Meiniang looked as if she was thinking deeply.

He looked as if he was thinking about something.

Shen Lian's eyes flashed.

He felt that Wu Meiniang seemed to be really here to help Wu Shiqi solve the case.

He smiled, without thinking much, and walked straight to where the carriage was parked.

I saw a wooden stake here.

There are still some water stains on the ground.

Shen Lian asked: "At that time, you tied the horse here and fed it in the water stain, right?"

The groom nodded quickly: "That's it."

Shen Lian took a close look at the surroundings.

Then he closed his eyes.

The moment he closed his eyes, a picture appeared directly in his mind.

The environment of the picture is exactly where he is.

The only difference is that it's different from here.

In the picture in his mind, there was a carriage and a coachman!
Afterwards, what the groom had just said played in Shen Lian's mind like a movie.

Every detail that was overlooked in the previous story told by the groom began to emerge.

The logic and coherence between each action began to run in Shen Lian's brain like a computer program!

Shen Lian will do it this way.

Go review.

Go deduce!
First things first.

It’s just to confirm whether the groom’s words are true or false!

Wu Meiniang was also thinking about the coachman's words.

He had complete trust in his own groom.

After all, his groom had followed Wu Shiqi for ten years and was like a member of their family.

So Wu Meiniang thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of any problem.

He couldn't help but look at Shen Lian subconsciously, wanting to know whether this famous and smartest man in the Tang Dynasty who didn't seem to want to make friends with him had made any discoveries.

She looked at Shen Lian.

Then he saw Shen Lian standing there with his eyes closed.

The whole person was motionless.

It's as if it has merged into one with the whole world.

This surprised me, Mei Niang, a little.

Wang Xiaohua whispered at this time: "Master Shen is thinking, let's not disturb Master Shen."

Wang Xiaohua was very curious about Wu Meiniang, a woman with personality and ability.

Wu Meiniang also has a good impression of Wang Xiaohua, a heroine among women.

Neither of the two girls is the type to stay indoors.

So there are many common topics.

Seeing Wang Xiaohua lower her voice, Wu Meiniang also asked in a low voice: "Can Lord Shen find any clues?"

Wang Xiaohua looks confident.

She looked at Shen Lian with admiration and said, "There is no clue in this world that Lord Shen cannot find!"

"As long as there are clues, Lord Shen will definitely find them!"

Wu Meiniang didn't quite believe it.

The books she had read told her that there was no perfect person in this world, and no one could truly reach the pinnacle in one direction.

Even a saint cannot be omnipotent.

Therefore, she felt that no matter how powerful Shen Lian was, as long as he was a human being, he would definitely make mistakes and would definitely be overlooked.

"I have three questions for you."

At this moment, Shen Lian suddenly opened his eyes, looked directly at the coachman and spoke.

When Wu Meiniang and others heard this, they all looked at Shen Lian immediately.

Shen Lian's eyes were deep, as if they contained the mysterious sky.

When one looks at him, one feels as if being sucked into his eyes.

The groom hurriedly said, "Master Shen, please ask."

Shen Lian said: "First question, when you prepared water for the horses, did you ever leave here?"

The groom said hurriedly, "He did leave."

"Because I have to fetch water from the well, and the well is behind the venue. But I was very quick, so even if I went to fetch water, I didn't leave for long, definitely not more than half an incense stick."

Wu Shiqi said, "Could it be that when he went to fetch water for the horses, someone sneaked in and delivered the letter?"

Shen Lian gently stroked the jade pendant around his waist. He did not answer Wu Shiqi.

He continued, "Second question."

"Did you notice anyone approaching the carriage while you were sitting here to rest?"

"Have you noticed that there is something unusual about the weight of the carriage?"

The groom quickly shook his head: "No."

"I sat on the shaft of the carriage waiting for you, Master. I didn't dare to relax at all. I didn't notice anything unusual. The carriage is my life and property. If someone touches it, even if it's just a slight touch, I will notice it."

Wu Shiqi listened to the groom's words, but still didn't realize there was anything wrong.

She looked at Shen Lian, wanting to know if Shen Lian had discovered anything.

However, Shen Lian did not say anything about any clues.

He continued to ask: "The third question."

"Du Chuke, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, passed by your carriage this morning. He didn't notice you. Did you notice him?"

Wu Shiqi heard what Shen Lian said.

His brows suddenly frowned.

He seemed to have thought of something.

His expression changed slightly.

However, Wu Meiniang did not understand the significance of Shen Lian's question.

If the coachman was fetching water at that time, he would not have discovered Du Chuke.

And if the groom was not fetching water at that time, he would have said that he was waiting for his father very seriously and he would definitely have discovered it.

So, what's the point of this question?

Wu Meiniang was very confused.

The groom did not hesitate at all and said directly: "Of course I found it."

"At that time, I didn't fetch water, but was sitting in the carriage. I saw Lord Du. I wanted to greet him, but seeing that he was in a hurry, I didn't bother him."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

He looked at Wu Shiqi and said, "Master Wu, do you understand?"

Wu Shiqi's face looked a little heavy.

Wu Meiniang looked at Shen Lian in confusion and asked, "Did Lord Shen discover anything?"
