Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 641 Therefore! This matter!
"So I arranged several lines of defense. Even if the enemy breaks through your line of defense, there are still other lines of defense to watch."

"So, you don't have to worry. I also had someone notify Snake after you left last night."

"So now, Sishe has sent people to follow that person."

"I think it won't be long before that person's secret will be completely revealed."

"Their plan..."

Shen Lian raised the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "It will also be completely exposed!"

Just like that, two hours passed.

Shen Lian did not leave here, but stayed here waiting for news from the shadow guard.

The Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is about to be held, and the enemy's plan is still unknown.

Therefore, Shen Lian needs to be here to know the enemy's situation at the first time.

So as to take countermeasures.

There is not much time left for him.

dong dong dong.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Han Min hurriedly looked at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian nodded slightly, and then asked, "Who?"

"It's me, Snake."

Snake's voice sounded outside the door.

When Han Min heard it was the Snake, her eyes lit up immediately.

He opened the door quickly.

I saw Snake, dressed in casual clothes, striding into the room.

Han Min quickly asked, "How is it?"

Snake nodded heavily: "I have discovered their secret!"

Hearing Sishe's words, Han Min suddenly became excited.

He quickly asked, "What do they want to do? Is there really something wrong with the member of the caravan that left?"

Si Snake looked at Shen Lian.

See Shen Lian nodded.

Sishe then spoke up and said, "The caravan members who left are from Baekje."

"Under Lord Shen's order, I arranged shadow guards to monitor every caravan."

"Then, we discovered that a person from Baekje disguised himself as someone else and left the restaurant openly."

"Because his appearance has changed and his behavior is upright, it is difficult for him to attract special attention."

Han Min nodded and said, "We never noticed him."

Sishe smiled and said, "Fortunately, our shadow guards are watching from inside, so if they make any movement, we will know."

"After that, we followed him secretly to see where he went."

Shen Lian sat on the stool. He picked up the teacup, shook it gently, and stared at Sishe's report carefully.

Snake said: "This person is very alert."

"After he left the restaurant, he walked around in circles in several alleys."

"It was as if he already knew he was being followed."

"But I know that he will never find us, so I think he is testing to see if anyone is following him."

"Finally, after circling five times, he seemed to be sure that no one was following him, so he finally changed direction."

"Then, I saw him enter a pawnshop in Kangpingfang."

Han Min asked, "Pawnshop?"

Sishe took out the Chang'an map and opened it. He searched for a while, then pointed to a pawnshop on the east side of Kangpingfang and said, "This is it."

Shen Lian looked over.

He then said, "The pawnshop is on the street, and it is well connected."

"If an accident happens, you can escape immediately!"

"And Kangpingfang is not a very busy place. It is a relatively quiet place. It is not easy to be discovered if you hide here!"

Finally, Shen Lian directly stated the conclusion: "This is a suitable place for secret guards to hide!"

He looked at Han Min and said, "It's more suitable for hiding than the Beidouhui base that was wiped out before."

Han Min had also experienced many major cases, so as soon as Shen Lian heard what he said, he understood what Shen Lian meant.

He said, "So, this pawnshop might be the base of the Beidou Society or a certain country's secret guards?"

Shen Lian nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, that's it!"

He looked at Sishe and asked, "And then?"

Han Min also listened carefully.

Sishe said: "After he entered the pawnshop, I followed him in."

"I ran to the roof of the shop and tried to secretly see what they were talking about, but I saw that they were leaving the pawnshop."

"The pawn shop was connected to a backyard, and after they entered the backyard, they walked into the cellar."

"I immediately determined that the cellar might be a secret passage connecting to other places."

"So I looked around from a high place, and was eventually discovered by me... They appeared in another mansion."

Upon hearing this, Han Min couldn't help but say, "That pawnshop isn't even their final hiding place!"

"These guys are so cunning!"

Sishe said, "That's right. If I hadn't followed closely, I would have lost him."

Shen Lian, however, looked normal.

He smiled and said, "After all, they are guys who have been hiding in Chang'an for a long time and have not been discovered by the court."

"If they didn't even have this ability, they would have been discovered long ago."

Sishe and Han Min nodded in agreement.

The caution of these thieves has really reached its limit!

After leaving the restaurant, regardless of whether there was anyone following them or not, they walked around the place three times, and after making sure that no one was following them, they went to the pawn shop!

The location of the pawnshop is hidden enough.

Every pawn shop they went to was qualified enough to be a stronghold!
But in the end, the pawnshop was just a cover.

Their real base is another mansion that they can reach through a secret passage!
The entire process was filled with extreme vigilance and caution.

No one can find any fault with it.

If it weren't for the snake that was watching them all the time, they would never have discovered their secret base!
Shen Lian gently shook the teacup, watching the tea leaves rolling up and down in the tea. Qin Wenyuan slowly said, "Go on."

Snake nodded without any hesitation.

He said: "After my subordinates discovered that their real base was in that mansion, they secretly went to that mansion."

"The mansion is heavily guarded, with constant patrols. My subordinates are quite experienced, but we were almost discovered!"

"But fortunately, everything went smoothly. I finally followed them to a room."

"Then, I ran to the roof and secretly listened to their conversation."

When Han Min heard this, he quickly asked, "What did they say?"

Shen Lian also looked at Si Snake.

Snake said: "I didn't hear it completely."

"Because it was windy outside and there were some dangers on the roof, I listened while being on guard against being discovered."

"I heard it sporadically, but I know almost everything."

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Sir Shen, this caravan disguised as Baekje is from Japan."

"Japanese country?"

Han Min was startled.

"Why is it Japan?"

He was extremely surprised. "Although Japan is not in our alliance, it has shown a sufficient attitude towards the Tang Dynasty."

"Not long ago, Japanese envoys came to Tang Dynasty."

"Japan and the Tang Dynasty are not enemies, why would he destroy the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce?"

Han Min didn't understand at all.

Sishe blinked and said, "They didn't tell me that, so I don't know."

And Shen Lian just sneered: "There is nothing that cannot be understood!"

"Japan has ambitions."

"Although it sent envoys to pay homage to the Tang Dynasty, it did not regard the Tang Dynasty as its master in its heart."

"On the contrary, they came to pay homage only to learn from the Tang Dynasty, and then use the results of the theft to strengthen themselves."

"Finally, we will launch a counterattack against the Tang Dynasty!"

"So, under these circumstances, how could the Japanese allow the Tang Dynasty to become stronger and stronger?"

"If the Tang Dynasty is really strong enough to be beyond the reach of Japan, how can Japan counterattack the Tang Dynasty?"

"So, I think it's normal for Japan to do this."

"There is nothing to doubt!"

After listening to Shen Lian's words, Si She and Han Min couldn't help but look at each other.

They suddenly felt that Lord Shen seemed to have some opinions about Japan!
Although they didn't think Shen Lian had any contact with Japan.

But I just felt that Lord Shen's tone was full of indifference.

That was the first time they heard such a tone from Shen Lian!

Sishe took a deep breath and said, "Maybe it's true as Lord Shen said, the Japanese envoys came just to steal our skills..."

"Anyway, no matter what the reason is."

"I can be sure that they are from Japan!"

"The fact that Japan has such a stronghold shows that they have long been plotting against the Tang Dynasty!"

Han Min nodded heavily.

"Facts speak louder than words!"

"This Japanese country is really insidious and cunning, so hateful!"

"I was so polite to the Tang envoys before, but now it seems that I was wrong to be polite!"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "You should be polite. Otherwise, people will think that the Great Tang looks down on people from small countries!"

"But politeness is superficial."

"Don't trust them at all!"

Han Min nodded: "I understand. When I see them again in the future, I will definitely let them feel the hypocritical kindness beneath Xiaguan's cold heart."

Shen Lian almost laughed at Han Min's words.

He shook his head, then looked at Snake and said, "Go on, what is their conspiracy?"

Upon hearing this, Jingzhao Yin Han Min also hurriedly looked at Sishe.

He said, "Snake, stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us what conspiracy these sinister and cunning guys have."

"What on earth do they want to do?"

Snake smiled and didn't delay any longer.

He said: "I was on the roof. Although I heard it with difficulty, I still knew their general plan."

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Sir Shen, they want to assassinate people from other caravans on the day of the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce, causing chaos in the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce and thus destroying the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce."

Han Min's eyes widened suddenly when he heard Sishe's words.

"They are so courageous!"

Han Min said angrily.

However, Shen Lian was not surprised at all.

He knew that there were only a few ways to destroy the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, he had already guessed about Japan's methods.

He said: “How to implement it specifically?”

Sishe said: "The Wanbang Chamber of Commerce will be held for seven days."

"Those bastards in Japan said that once the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is really held, the later we act, the less effective it will be."

"Once all countries have tasted the sweetness, even if the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is destroyed, they will still persist!"

"So, those bastards from Japan set the date on the first day of the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce."

“They think the first day is the best time.”

“As long as we take action on that day, other countries will suffer heavy losses without reaping any benefits.”

"Thereby, they will not dare to continue the meeting and completely destroy the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce."

Han Min's eyes were cold, and he said in a cold voice: "They are really insidious!"

"On the first day of action, our Wanbang Chamber of Commerce has already convened. We cannot postpone it even if we want to. We can only be forced to interrupt it."

"And once it is interrupted, a murder will occur on the day of the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce. This will be a huge blow to the reputation of our Tang Dynasty, and will also make members of the caravans of other countries doubt the ability of the Tang Dynasty."

"How can these Japanese bastards be so cunning and vicious!"

"On the surface, they sent Tang envoys to our Tang Dynasty and acted very respectful, but secretly, they were full of such malicious intent."

"Now when I think of their respectfulness and politeness, I feel sick!"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Don't be angry, because it's not worth it to get sick from these guys!"

"We're trying to sabotage their long-planned scheme."

"And let the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce be held smoothly, and let our Tang Dynasty become stronger because of it, which will be the biggest blow to Japan!"

Han Min nodded heavily.

He said: "I didn't have so many thoughts before. I just thought that if someone destroyed the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce, where would my lobby's reputation be?"

"But now, I have made up my mind completely!"

"This is no longer a matter of face!"

"If I don't protect the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce and prevent it from being held smoothly, I will die of frustration!"

"I have seen hypocritical people before, but this is the first time I have seen such a hypocritical country!"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "The longer you live, the more you will see things you have never imagined!"

He was not as ashamed and angry as Han Min.

After all, no one knows better than him what Japan is like.

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

Shen Lian would not be surprised no matter how Japan breaks the bottom line.

He looked at Sishe and said, "Do you know how they are going to do it?"

Sishe said: "They want to assassinate me that night."

"And they also determined how to carry a weapon concealed and how to make an alibi."

"I overheard their plan, and the more I listened, the more frightened I became."

“They planned it very well.”

“Almost every detail was considered, and they specifically mentioned the young master.”

"Me?" Shen Lian was surprised.

…………

Sishe nodded and said, "They know that the young master is a master at solving cases, so they know... they can only succeed if they can hide it from Lord Shen's investigation."

"Therefore, they studied many of the cases that the young master had solved, trying to find the aspects that the young master was not good at, and tried every means to complete the details of their crimes."
