Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 655: I didn’t understand the hidden meaning!
Shen Lian nodded, he understood the implication of Yuheng's words.

Shen Lian looked at Yu Heng and asked, "And then?"

Yu Heng said: "Then after I arrived in Chang'an, I heard that two very important strongholds of our Beidou Society were massacred."

“No one escaped.”

"Even one of our extremely important sources of funding has been disrupted."

"Tianxuan was furious, so he decided to seek revenge."

"After he consulted Beichen, Beichen gave him the power to make all the decisions about Chang'an and restore the reputation of the Beidou Society."

When Shen Lian heard this, he couldn't help but say, "How come... it seems like you have nothing to do with it?"

"Haven't you been trusted by Beichen yet?"

Yuheng shook his head.

"Don't worry, after what happened at Cuihua Mountain, Beichen no longer has any doubts about me."

"Although Tianxuan has the full authority this time, Beichen also secretly gave me an order to keep an eye on Tianxuan and not let him get too impulsive and mess things up."

"If necessary, I can take over all control of Chang'an City."

When Shen Lian heard Yu Heng's words, he smiled and said, "So, among the Star Masters in Chang'an City, you are still the most powerful?"

Yuheng raised his eyebrows, raised his white chin slightly, and said complacently: "Of course."

Looking at Yuheng's smug little look, Shen Lian couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

He said: "But if you fail when you meet me, the person with the highest real power, will you be punished?"

Yu Heng looked at Shen Lian and asked, "How do you know you will definitely win?"

"You don't even know what we want to do."

Shen Lian glanced at Yu Heng.

He picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of mutton, and said slowly while eating: "Actually, your real purpose now is not to destroy the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Yuheng's peach blossom eyes suddenly widened.

He looked at Shen Lian and asked, "How do you know?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I also know that your real goal is the Jingzhao Yin Yamen."

"As expected, you want to charge into the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, massacre everyone inside, release the prisoners in the prison, burn down the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and then say something that Beidou will be willing to take responsibility for this, right?"

Yuheng was completely shocked.

Her beautiful eyes, at this moment, were filled with surprise and shock.

She looked at Shen Lian and said, "I know you are very smart, and I also know that I will probably not be able to beat you in the future."

"But you are really too smart, aren't you?"

"Although I have always wanted to tell you our true purpose, I have never found the opportunity."

"It wasn't until today that I found an opportunity, but I haven't told you yet!"

"How can you connect the two completely different goals of Jingzhao Yin and Wanbang Chamber of Commerce?"

Shen Lian listened to Yu Heng's words and nodded slightly in his heart.

He knew that if Yuheng came to Chang'an, Yuheng would definitely want to tell him such a secret.

Yuheng never told himself that, just as he expected, he couldn't find an opportunity.

He smiled and said, "It's actually very simple..."

Then, Shen Lian once again told Yuheng his analysis of Li Shimin.

After listening to this, Yuheng couldn't help but sigh again.

She said, "I am afraid that you don't know our true purpose, and it will lead to something serious in the end."

"So I tried every possible means to find an opportunity to tell you."

"If I had known you had guessed all this, why would I have bothered?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "You can always trust my mind."

"But I am still very grateful to you."

"The fact that you took such a huge risk to tell me this is enough to make me very touched and happy."

Yuheng listened to what Shen Lian and others said, and a look of joy appeared on his brows.

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

However, she soon coughed and said, "I told you this just because I think nothing can happen to the Tang Dynasty. Don't think too much about it. It has nothing to do with you."

After thinking for a while, she said, "It does have some relationship, but not that big."

Listening to Yuheng's excuses, Shen Lian couldn't help but smile.

He looked at Yu Heng and said, "When are you going to start?"

Yuheng said: "It depends on the situation."

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

"If we want to take action, the prerequisite is that there will be some chaos in the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce to attract the attention of most people. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to take action."

“So, it depends on whether there will be chaos before the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce ends.”

"If not, we will have to create chaos ourselves, but this will likely expose us, so we won't do that until we have no other choice."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

This was just as he had guessed.

He looked at Yuheng and said, "You and Tianxuan came this time. Beichen didn't come?"

Yuheng shook his head: "Beichen said he had other important things to do and didn't come."

"Anything else important?"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"For Beichen, is there anything more important than destroying my and Datang's plans?"

He tapped the table with his fingers and suddenly realized that Beichen didn't come.

This matter is a bit strange.

Yuheng said: "I don't know what other important things Beichen has to do, but Beichen did not come."

Shen Lian looked at Yu Heng and said, "Have you seen Bei Chen since you returned?"

Yuheng shook his head and said, "I hadn't even returned to the base when Beichen sent me a letter. Naturally, I didn't see Beichen."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yuheng has never actually met Beichen.

"Then do you know if your Beidou Club has any important tasks recently?"

Shen Lian continued to ask.

Yu Heng still shook his head: "Except for the big thing you have here, there should be nothing to worry about for the time being."

"The Beidou Society has also suffered heavy losses during this period, so apart from Chang'an's action this time, the main focus for the time being is to recover their vitality!"

"After all, the Beidou Society had always been hiding in the dark before this, but because of you, the Beidou Society was forced to be exposed. After that, many plans failed one after another. In addition, the base of Nanzhao was also destroyed by you, so the Beidou Society had to move away as a whole."

"So the Beidou Society was severely damaged, and Beichen also issued an order for the people of the Beidou Society to hide temporarily."

Shen Lian said: "That is to say, the Beidou Club should only have things to do in Chang'an recently. There are no tasks in other areas?"

Yu Heng nodded and said, "That should be the case. Of course, I can't be completely sure. If Beichen is hiding something from me, I wouldn't dare to say anything."

Shen Lian nodded.

Yuheng spoke very cautiously.

But Shen Lian felt that there was no need for Beichen to hide the secret from Yuheng any longer.

Yuheng has passed Beichen's test, and Yinyuan has died in Cuihua Mountain, so Beichen does not have many available star users.

So Beichen had no reason to hide it from Yuheng.

He said: "Do you think there is a possibility that Beichen has actually come to Chang'an?"

"What?" Yuheng's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and her watery eyes were full of surprise.

She looked at Shen Lian and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Shen Lian said: "I think, based on Beichen's habits, he can't leave all the things to other people."

"And these things in Chang'an are also very important to your Beidou Association. After all, this is related to your Beidou Association's face and your Beidou Association's living space."

"It's such an important matter, and Beichen doesn't have anything else important to do, so why wouldn't he do it himself?"

"Not to mention……"

Shen Lian's eyes flashed, and he said, "Beichen knows that Chang'an City is my territory."

"He is very clear about my abilities, so isn't he afraid that the two Star People he sent will also be left behind by me?"

"If this is the case, Beichen will really be disabled."

"Therefore, it is unreasonable for him not to come in person..."

"After all, he should know that he is the only one who can compete with me."

Yuheng originally thought that Beichen would not come.

But now, after hearing Shen Lian's words, she began to have some doubts.

She said, "If Beichen really came, why didn't he show up? What did he want to do?"

Shen Lian thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, you are all Beichen's pawns."

"You think your real purpose can deceive me, but Beichen may not think so."

"So, what if Beichen is standing on a further level?"

"For example, you are all chess pieces that attract me."

"Beichen is just trying to attract my attention through you guys?"

"Then, at this time, Beichen, maybe you can take the opportunity to do something."

When Yuheng heard this, he was immediately shocked.

He closed the folding fan in her hand and she said, "If this is true, then Beichen is really too insidious and cunning! How many layers of concealment has he done?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Is this the first day you met Beichen?"

“For others, it’s really complicated.”

"But for Beichen, this is just a normal method."

"If Beichen doesn't even have this ability, then he has no right to be the ruler of the Beidou Society."

Yu Heng was slightly shocked. She asked, "What is Bei Chen's real purpose?"

Shen Lian listened to Yuheng's question and shook his head.

He said, “It’s hard to say!”

"It's not hard to guess what Tianxuan wants to do."

"Because it all has logic, clues, and a starting point."

"But if Beichen really has other plans as I speculated, then he will never act logically, or in other words, he will never let me guess it easily."

"So, if you want to know what his real purpose is, it's not easy to guess without any clues."

Yu Heng frowned and asked worriedly, "What should I do then?"

"I don't have any information about Beichen, so I can't help you."

She thought for a moment and said, "How about I write a letter to Beichen to test him and see if he has any plans?"

"No!"

Shen Lian refused directly.

"You can't do that," he said. "The more you do it during this special period, the more you're exposed."

"It took a lot of effort to get Beichen to trust you completely, and it took a lot of effort for you to get safe. I can't let you take this risk."

Yu Heng said: "I am not afraid of taking risks."

"As long as you're okay."

Shen Lian shook his head: "I understand your intentions, but I can never be so selfish and put you in danger because of me."

"Don't worry, even though I don't know the purpose of this old silver coin, it doesn't mean that others can't think of it."

When Yu Heng heard this, he immediately asked suspiciously, "You mean... in your Tang Dynasty, there are people who are smarter than you?"

"Not smarter than me."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "But... Old Silver Coin, only Old Silver Coin understands better."

"After all, I haven't been back to Chang'an for long, and I've been entangled in many things since I came back. I still don't have a comprehensive understanding of the affairs of the court and Chang'an."

"So, I need to ask other people."

“Maybe, they will give me the answer.”

Yu Heng doubted, "Can they do it?"

Yuheng now only believes in Qin Wenyuan's wisdom.

She really has no confidence in other people.

Shen Lian said: "Beichen will not take action without any reason."

"He is hiding so deeply. If he makes a move, he must have a clear goal."

"So, although it's hard to guess, it's not impossible to find out."

"I can't think of it for now, but that doesn't mean that these old silver coins who are familiar with the Tang Dynasty and Chang'an and have lived here for decades can't think of it."

"Anyway, go ask, maybe there will be results."

Number Nine looked at Shen Lian and asked, "Who are you going to ask?"

"three people."

Shen Lian held up three fingers and said, "The first one is Prime Minister Fang Xuanling."

"As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling is the head of all officials. If there is any disturbance in the court, he will never be able to hide it from him."

"He is also very smart and tactful, and enjoys a very high reputation in Chang'an City."

"Ask him, he'll probably give me some advice."

Yuheng nodded.

Of course she had heard of the name Fang Xuanling.

Tang said, "What else?"

Shen Lian continued, "The Prime Minister, the Minister of Personnel, Changsun Wuji."

"If we talk about who is the most scheming, who has the most powerful means, and who is the recognized old silver coin in the Tang Dynasty, then Changsun Wuji is second, and no one dares to say he is first."

“So, although Changsun Wuji doesn’t know as much as Fang Xuanling, when it comes to some insidious things, he is definitely better than Fang Xuanling.”

"Ask him, maybe he can directly guess the conspiracy of this old silver coin Beichen."

"This has nothing to do with wisdom, it has to do with the way of thinking of old silver coins."

Yu Heng nodded first, then looked at Shen Lian and said, "You are framing them like this, aren't you afraid that they will cause trouble for you?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Will you tell them?"

Yuheng thought about it and then said, "It depends on your performance in the future."

Shen Lian said: "Then I'm so scared."

Yuheng couldn't help but give Shen Lian a blank look.

She said, "Where's the last person?"

……

Shen Lian said: "Then I'm so scared."

Yuheng couldn't help but give Shen Lian a blank look.

She said, "Where's the last person?"
