Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

"The last person?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Tianji!"

"she?"

Yuheng was stunned.

Shen Lian nodded: "It's been a while since I let Tianji go, although now Tianji has confirmed that he is in the same group with us."

"But this does not hinder his influence in the underworld."

"And he has always been against the Beidou Society."

"Perhaps, he just happens to know Beichen's plan, or even Beichen's whereabouts?"

Yuheng and Tianji are both from Tianquan.

So I have some understanding of Tianji.

She nodded and said, "Tianji is a sinister guy, and he has a lot of power."

"He can go against the Beidou Society and still be alive and well. He is indeed quite capable."

"You go find him, maybe you'll get something."

Shen Lian smiled and nodded.

"If we look for these three people, maybe we can find out Beichen's purpose."

"Xi, when living in this world, you shouldn't rely on yourself for everything. We humans are social creatures. When necessary, it is normal to ask others for help."

Yu Heng listened to Shen Lian's words, blinked, and said, "Why do I feel so strange? You sound like you are giving me a hint."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I'm not giving you a hint. I just want you to know that if you run into trouble or danger in the future, you should find someone to help you."

"Don't bear it alone."

Yu Heng looked at Shen Lian with her beautiful eyes and said, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who will bear it alone."

Shen Lian took a deep look at Yu Heng.

To be honest, he was a little worried.

Yuheng has a very strong character.

Moreover, Yuheng likes to think too much about himself.

Shen Lian was very worried. If Yuheng really encountered great danger in the future, and Yuheng knew that he might also encounter danger if he went to help her... Based on his understanding of Yuheng, he was worried that Yuheng would not come to find him.

If that were the case, Yuheng would be in real danger.

However, these things cannot change a person's character with just a few words.

So he could only pay more attention to Yuheng and Beidou Society.

He said, "If I fail your plan, will you be punished?"

Yuheng shook his head: "Generally speaking, nothing serious."

"After all, even Beichen has failed at your hands so many times. Isn't it normal for us to fail at your hands?"

"And if Beichen really had other plans this time, then he never thought we could succeed from the beginning, so he wouldn't blame us!"

"certainly……"

Yu Heng looked at Shen Lian and said, "The premise of all this is that we have all worked very hard."

"But if Beichen finds out that I'm having an affair with you, that would be a different story."

Shen Lian nodded: "I will give you some signals when I take action."

"You can decide whether to escape first to ensure your safety, or do something to make Beichen trust you more... You decide these things yourself."

"But no matter what, once you find that I have officially taken action, don't question it and flee quickly."

"I will let the Snake help you leave."

“Don’t put your safety at risk.”

Yu Heng knew that Shen Lian was taking the time to care about her, and she felt warm in her heart: "Okay, I understand, I won't let you down."

Shen Lian let out a breath.

"By the way, is there any news about dad?" Shen Lian asked.

Yu Heng shook his head: "Tian Quan's whereabouts are very hidden, no one knows where he is."

"but……"

She looked at Shen Lian and said, "If he knew about your wedding, I think he would definitely return to Chang'an."

"He missed the first half of your life because of some things, but he would never want to miss the most important event in your life."

Shen Lian pursed his lips.

This is just as he thought.

He said: "This Chang'an City is really going to be very lively!"

"Beichen is here, you are here, and Dad will be back too."

"I really dare to think about how lively my wedding day will be."

Yu Heng smiled and said, "Isn't this great? It's so lively."

Shen Lian rolled his eyes: "I hope your wedding will be as lively as this."

There is a difference between being lively and being busy.

This excitement will result in bloodshed.

Yu Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Who am I getting married to? You?"

Shen Lian: "..."

Yuheng looked at Shen Lian who was frozen and started to chuckle.

She unfolded her feather fan again, stood up, and said, "Well, I've been out for quite some time, it's time to go back."

"Shen Lian..."

Yuheng walked to the door and suddenly stopped.

She opened the door and said without turning back, "Congratulations, you are no longer alone."

After saying that, Yuheng stepped out and disappeared in the crowd.

Shen Lian looked at Yuheng's departing back, was silent for a moment, and finally sighed.

“I’m not alone anymore.”

"But you are still just as lonely."

Yuheng left and Shen Lian did not delay any longer.

He also stood up and walked out.

But as soon as he went downstairs, he saw the waiter smiling and saying to him, "Guanwu, do you want to pay the bill?"

Shen Lian: "..."

So Yuheng ordered a table full of dishes, but she just ran away without paying the bill?
Shen Lian smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, check out."

After half a stick of incense.

Shen Lian left with the packed food.

Since you have already spent money, you certainly cannot leave any unfinished food.

Fortunately, he has the treasure left to him by his mother, so Shen Lian is not short of money.

Otherwise, just one meal in this restaurant would be enough to make Shen Lian feel distressed for a while.

After all, although his salary was not low, he could not afford such expenses.

Shen Lian carried a table full of food, thought for a while, and did not return home directly. Instead, he turned a corner and walked in another direction.

Not long after, he stopped in front of a mansion.

At this time, the interior of the mansion was very quiet. In front of the mansion, there were only two red lanterns emitting a faint light.

With the help of the light from the red lanterns, you can clearly see the plaque on the door, which has two words on it.

"Fang Mansion."

Fang Mansion, the residence of Fang Xuanling!
Shen Lian stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, the door of Fang Mansion was opened.

An old man poked his head out and asked, "Who is it?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Please inform him that I am here to visit Mr. Fang."

When the old man heard the name Shen Lian, he immediately took a closer look at Shen Lian. "Master Shen?"

The old man hurriedly bowed to Shen Lian: "Greetings, Master Shen."

Shen Lian waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's really rude to visit you so late at night."

The old man shook his head hurriedly: "Master Shen must have come here for something important. Please wait a moment, I will go and call the master."

Shen Lian nodded slightly: "Thank you for the trouble."

The butler of the Fang Mansion turned around and left without any hesitation.

Shen Lian just waited quietly at the door.

Not long after, footsteps were heard inside.

Soon, the door was opened.

Fang Xuanling, who was not dressed so neatly, saw Shen Lian and said, "Sir Shen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Shen Lian took one look at Fang Xuanling and knew that Fang Xuanling had been woken up from his sleep.

In order not to make himself wait any longer, Fang Xuanling didn't even bother to put on his clothes and hurried over.

He smiled and said, "Master Fang, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Lord Shen can come to see me anytime. It doesn't matter if you disturb me or not. It won't hurt to sleep less."

As he spoke, he turned sideways and said, "Master Shen, please."

Shen Lian nodded and entered the mansion.

The two of them quickly arrived at the main hall.

Afterwards, Shen Lian shook the lunch box in his hand and said, "Master Fang, would you like to have some midnight snack?"

Fang Xuanling didn't expect that Shen Lian not only came to see him so late, but also brought food.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I'm a little hungry."

Shen Lian opened the lunch box directly.

Neither he nor Yuheng had eaten much, and he walked quickly, so the food was not yet cold.

Fang Xuanling saw such a sumptuous meal and couldn't help but ask, "Master Shen, is this a special day? Master Shen brought so many delicious dishes to see me."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I just suddenly felt like having a midnight snack, and then I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen Lord Fang for a long time, and I really missed him, so I came here."

Fang Xuanling did not believe a single word of Shen Lian's words.

He said he hadn’t seen me for a long time and missed me.

Fang Xuanling would never believe this.

First of all, I'm not a woman. Why would Shen Lian miss an old man like me?
Secondly, even if Shen Lian really missed me, he would not wake me up from my sleep late at night.

Shen Lian would not do such abrupt things.

So Shen Lian came to see me for something else.

Fang Xuanling was a man of great foresight, and he was not in a hurry unless Shen Lian said anything.

He said, "Then I will often have these delicious meals."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Master Fang, please do as you wish."

Fang Xuanling took two bites, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "This food is good, it tastes great."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I bought it specially for Lord Fang at the restaurant. I'm very happy that Lord Fang likes it."

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he finally couldn't help it.

He said, "Master Shen, just tell me what you want to say."

"You went to the restaurant just for me and bought me such a sumptuous meal. I was really a little nervous!"

"So even if it's just to make me eat more comfortably, just tell me what you have to say."

Shen Lian smiled: "Actually, I really don't have any big problems..."

"Of course, there is still one small thing."

Fang Xuanling heard this and said quickly, "Master Shen, if you need me to do anything, just tell me. I promise that as long as it is something I can do, I will not refuse."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Fang, this is not a big deal. It's really just a very small matter."

Shen Lian looked at Fang Xuanling and said without further delay, "Master Fang, I just have a question that I want to ask you."

Fang Xuanling hurriedly said, "Lord Shen, please don't use the word 'ask for advice'. I don't know that Lord Shen is the smartest man in the Tang Dynasty. Is there any problem in this world that can stump Lord Shen?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I am a human, not a god, and as long as I am a human, I cannot be omniscient and omnipotent."

"As the saying goes, everyone has their own specialty. Even Confucius did not dare to say that he knew everything. I am no different."

Fang Xuanling thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "I wonder what question Lord Shen wants to ask?"

Shen Lian said: "Master Fang, if you were Beichen from the Beidou Society, and you wanted to do something big in the near future, what would you do?"

Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment.

"Will Beidou meet Beichen?"

"What does Lord Shen mean?"

Fang Xuanling was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and was very wise. Therefore, as soon as he heard Shen Lian's words, he understood what Shen Lian was going to do.

Shen Lian did not hide it.

He nodded and said, "I suspect Beichen will take some special actions, but I'm not sure what he will do, so I'd like to hear your advice, Lord Fang."

Fang Xuanling frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Wanbang Chamber of Commerce?"

"The Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is now the most important event."

Shen Lian shook his head directly: "Exclude the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce."

"The Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is just a smokescreen he uses to attract our attention and confuse us."

Fang Xuanling frowned: "Excluding the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce... then recently, there seems to be nothing particularly important and worthy of Beichen's intervention."

Shen Lian said: "Master Fang might as well open your mind a little more."

“Don’t limit yourself to big things like the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce.”

"For example, is there anything that seems ordinary but has a big impact, but because you see it so often, you tend to ignore it?"

"How can a common thing like this have a big impact?" Fang Xuanling frowned and thought for a moment.

Then he looked at Shen Lian and said, "Now that you mention it, there is indeed one thing."

Shen Lian asked: "What's the matter?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty will choose a fixed day every month to offer sacrifices to the heavens, to pray for the protection of the Tang Dynasty and hope that the Tang Dynasty will have good weather and good harvests."

"Three days from now, it will be the day of your majesty's monthly sacrifice to heaven."

"This matter is not a big deal, because His Majesty does it once a month, and even the people of Chang'an City are not very interested and don't go to watch."

"But if you say it's small, it's not small either. After all, it was His Majesty who personally took action!"

"But when your majesty offers sacrifice to the heaven, he will be protected by guards, and there will be guards on the way ahead. Does that mean Beichen dares to attack your majesty when there is a large army protecting him?"

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

"Is Beichen so brave?"

Shen Lian shook his head.

"The Beidou Society has suffered heavy losses during this period. Beichen hopes that the Beidou Society can recuperate and will definitely not do anything to confront the army."

"But if this is really the only seemingly ordinary thing that has a huge impact during this period of time, then it is not ruled out that he really wants to take action against Your Majesty."

…………

Fang Xuanling was shocked: "This is too difficult. You said that Beidou would like to recuperate. But if he really wants to assassinate His Majesty, he will definitely pay a huge price! And it is almost impossible to succeed."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.

There was a gleam in his eyes.

At this moment, he was also thinking about this matter.

But Shen Lian couldn't say what the specific situation was.

He now has too few clues.

But Shen Lian couldn't say what the specific situation was.

He now has too few clues.
