Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Industry specializing in surgery.

When it comes to secret passages and mechanisms, Fatty Zhang is the most professional.

Fatty Zhang walked to the front without any hesitation.

As he walked, he used the torch to light the way ahead.

"This secret passage is not very big. It seems that when it was built, they were worried about being discovered, so they only built a passage that could accommodate people entering and exiting."

"This kind of passage, under normal circumstances, will not have any traps."

"After all, mechanisms require a certain amount of space and time. When they were building this secret passage, they were afraid of being discovered, so most likely they would not waste time and energy on the number of mechanisms."

Shen Lian nodded.

They had walked all the way here and indeed had not encountered any traps.

Shen Lian said: "Can you tell the direction we are going now?"

This underground secret passage twists and turns so many times that even Shen Lian found it difficult to turn.

Fatty Zhang thought for a moment and said, "We should be heading southeast now."

"Southeast direction..."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.

Where does this secret passage built by Beichen lead to?
Southeast, anything?

Shen Lian's brain was working rapidly at this moment.

The map of Chang'an City appeared directly in his mind.

He kept zooming in on the map, then looked toward the southeast with the mansion where Beichen was hiding as the center.

At this time.

He suddenly said, "There is a Taoist temple over there!"

"Taoist temple!"

Tianji looked at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian said, "Today seems to be some kind of festival, there should be a lot of people in the Taoist temple."

"That is to say."

"Once Beichen enters the Taoist temple and hides in the crowd, it will be difficult for us to find him."

Tianji's face changed, and she said, "Hurry, we have to be faster!"

Everyone quickened their pace further.

At this moment, there seemed to be a faint light ahead.

Seeing this, everyone's spirits were immediately boosted.

There is light, no doubt about it.

Someone was lighting a torch.

And in this narrow and hidden secret passage.

One that could hold a torch in front of them.

no doubt.

It can only be... Beichen!
"Beichen!"

Snake cried out subconsciously.

Tianji's eyes widened: "Is it really him?"

"We really have to catch him!"

At this moment, even Tianji, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but feel excited.

After all, this might be the first time in her decades of life that she had the opportunity to catch Beichen at such a close distance.

Shen Lian looked at the figure in front of him who was also speeding up and said, "Hurry, let's go faster."

Sishe and others did not dare to delay and quickened their pace.

They moved forward at the fastest speed in this narrow secret passage.

However, this secret passage is too narrow and too low.

As a result, everyone had to move forward with their backs bent.

Speed ​​is greatly affected.

However, they were getting closer and closer to Beichen in front of them.

Shen Lian then asked: "Does anyone have a bow and arrow?"

A shadow guard said hurriedly: "I have it."

"Bring it!"

The shadow guard quickly handed the bow to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian picked up an arrow and put it directly on it.

He didn't slow down.

Still walking forward quickly.

But as he walked, the arrows were aimed at him.

He pulled the bow to its full length and aimed at Beichen in front of him.

Immediately he thrust his bow.

call out!
The arrow flew out instantly.

In the narrow secret passage, like lightning, he rushed behind Beichen in a flash.

Flying towards Beichen's heart.

At this time, Beichen in front seemed to have noticed something.

He suddenly fell toward the wall.

One side of the body.

The arrow that was barely dodged.

But the arrow also pierced through Beichen's robe.

Nail the robe to the wall.

Seeing this, Beichen hurriedly pulled at his robe.

But because the arrow was deeply embedded in the wall, he couldn't pull it out easily.

There was no choice but Beichen just pulled it.

Just hear a sizzling sound.

He tore the robe apart.

One sleeve was torn off.

And half of his arm also fell outside.

Although Beichen dodged the fatal attack of the arrow.

But it also delayed some time.

This caused the distance between Shen Lian and him to shorten rapidly.

And as one of his arms was exposed.

Shen Lian and Tian Ji, with the help of the faint light, used all their vision to look.

They saw Beichen's exposed hand.

Looked at his fingers.

And he has six fingers!
See this scene.

Tianji's pupils suddenly shrank.

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

Six!

There are actually six fingers!
Tianji's heart was filled with shock and confusion!

because.

This is enough to explain.

The person I once met in Beidou Club, who thought he was Beichen, was actually not Beichen himself!

What I have always believed to be the real Beichen was just a trick used by Beichen to deceive me!

I was wrong.

My goals all along have been wrong!

And Shen Lian is right!
Shen Lian always said that Beichen had six fingers.

Now, it has finally been confirmed.

Beichen in front, after tearing off his clothes, finally moved forward again.

He ran quickly.

One hand pressed down the hood on his head, making it impossible to see his face.

The next moment, he suddenly pushed open a stone door and rushed in.

With a bang, the stone door was closed.

Tianji's expression changed: "We're at the exit!"

"Oh no, there are people all over it!"

They quickly arrived in front of the stone gate.

The power of the snake pushes the stone gate.

But the stone door couldn't be pushed open at all.

They had just seen Beichen push open the stone door easily, but they were unable to do so.

Shen Lian looked directly at Fatty Zhang.

Fatty Zhang didn't say anything and quickly observed the door.

At the same time, he looked around the door.

Not long after, he said, "There is a mechanism."

As he spoke, Fatty Zhang found a stone at the corner of the door and pushed it hard.

Only a slight clicking sound was heard.

There are no definite changes in this stone.

But the stone door opened automatically. Tianji looked at Shen Lian with envy. Fatty Zhang's mechanical skills made her feel amazing.

But the crowd had no time to delay here, and they rushed out quickly.

Rushing out of the stone gate, I saw a bright light ahead.

They rushed out quickly.

then.

They found out.

They rushed out from a rockery.

And outside the rockery.

There are crowds of pilgrims here.

Shen Lian and others walked out of the rockery.

Just out of the rockery.

Then I heard a lively sound.

There were Taoists wearing Taoist robes walking around.

There was a believer with a pious look on his face, walking around.

In front of them.

All are people.

At least, there are two or three hundred people.

And this is just the one in this yard.

Standing here and looking forward and backward, you can clearly see two courtyards.

There were people in those two courtyards as well.

This time.

Sishe and others were completely dumbfounded.

“Why are there so many people!”

"Master Shen is right. The exit is a Taoist temple, and today is obviously a special day for the Taoist temple!"

"This is troublesome. No matter where Beichen runs to, it will be hard to find him."

Sishe and others all looked anxious.

At this moment, Wang Junyan's eyes suddenly flashed. He walked to the bushes beside the rockery and picked up a black robe from it.

All I saw was a black robe with one sleeve broken.

There are still a lot of stone chips stuck on the back.

"My lord, look."

Wang Junyan handed the black robe to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian took a look and said, "This is the robe Beichen just wore."

"It seems that he had already changed his clothes when he walked out from here just now."

"He was obviously well prepared."

“Even if we discover the secret passage out of the city, the pilgrimage here is enough to help him hide in the crowd.”

Tianji looked at Shen Lian and said, "You can just send a large army to surround this Taoist temple, and then investigate one by one."

"Beichen has six fingers on his hand. This is definitely not common, but we can still pull them out."

Shen Lian shook his head and said, "It's useless. It's too late."

Tianji frowned.

Shen Lian said: "We are already behind Beichen, and now we don't even know where Beichen is hiding."

"If we go find a large army to surround this place now, it will take time. How long do you think it will take for our people to leave here, call for others, and then return?"

"And this time is enough for Beichen to fly away."

Sishe said: "We can find the Taoist temple's master and ask him to temporarily close the gate and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving."

Shen Lian continued, "Given Beichen's personality, do you think that since he chose to exit here, he would not have thought about how to escape if the door was closed?"

"I guess there must be other secret passages in this Taoist temple that can help him leave."

"Besides, maybe Beichen has already left the Taoist temple."

"In short, the moment Beichen walked out of the secret passage, it would be impossible for us to catch him."

Shen Lian and Beichen have fought too many times.

He knows Beichen very well.

No one knows better than Beichen how insidious, cunning and cautious he is.

In the past, even if he set up a tight net, Beichen would always escape.

Not to mention that this time, he didn't even arrange any staff here.

After all, who would have thought that the mansion where Beichen was hiding would have such a long secret passage.

Arriving at another unrelated Taoist temple?

This cannot be blamed on their lack of preparation.

In fact, Beichen didn't give them much time to prepare.

After all, it was not until he took action at the last moment that he knew where Beichen was hiding.

It is not easy to find Beichen after going through so many clues and working hard.

Not to mention, catching Beichen.

Therefore, Shen Lian was mentally prepared for Beichen's escape.

And this time, he didn't completely lose.

He looked at the annoyed and regretful expressions of Sishe and others, smiled, and said, "You don't have to show that expression."

“It’s not like we didn’t gain anything.”

"It's just that we didn't get the biggest gain!"

"This time, we crushed Beichen's conspiracy, rescued the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, and stopped Beichen's plan. This is a success."

"Also, we finally found Beichen. Although we didn't catch him, we discovered his most critical features."

"This will be enough for us to gain a certain degree of initiative in our future struggle with Beichen."

"So, that's enough, isn't it?"

"after all……"

Shen Lian looked at Tianji and smiled, "Our initial plan was to determine who had the correct understanding of Beichen's true self."

"Now that we have the answer, the trip is worthwhile, Tianji, don't you think?"

Tianji was silent for a moment.

Then he smiled and said, "That's right, you are right and I am wrong. I feel that I have lived like a dog in the past few decades of Beidou Club."

Tianji's self-deprecating remarks were very sad.

After all, she had once climbed from the bottom to the position of Star Person in the Beidou Society.

Although she had the help of Father Shen Lian, more of it was due to her hard work and efforts.

She became Tianji of Beidou Society and thought she knew many secrets of Beidou Society, especially the most mysterious Beichen. She thought she knew the most secrets.

Can bear fruit.

Now I know.

My understanding of Beichen is completely wrong!
All the secrets of Beichen that he had previously known might have been used by Beichen to deceive him!
I was completely fooled by Beichen!
How could he not feel sad after realizing this?
Tianji has its own pride!

She is very smart and wise.

With his own strength, he accomplished many great things.

Although he met Shen Lian later, he was defeated by Shen Lian.

But Shen Lian has knocked down too many people, and Tianji doesn’t think he is weak.

But now.

Only then did she realize that she was still a little inferior to people of Shen Lian and Beichen's level.

It can even be said that it is a bit far off.

After all, Shen Lian and Beichen only had so many contacts.

And in such a limited number of times, Shen Lian's judgment of Beichen's true self was completely correct.

This made Tianji deeply aware of the difference between the two.

Beichen was playing a trick on her and she was completely kept in the dark.

Shen Lian’s wisdom is greater than his own decades of forbearance.

This really hit her hard.

But Tianji is Tianji. No matter how big the blow is, he remains very calm and uses self-deprecating humor to resolve the pent-up emotions in his heart.

Shen Lian looked at Tianji deeply, and then said: "Beichen deliberately lied to you, and you didn't know that he would lie to you under such circumstances, so it is understandable that you were deceived."

"Just like before, when I disagree with you, I also doubt myself."

"I also wonder if Beichen deliberately deceived me like that."

"So, compared to you, I am not that determined, it's just that I may be luckier."

Tianji listened to Shen Lian's words.

After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Next time, I won't make the same mistake again."

Shen Lian smiled and nodded.

The two smiled at each other, and no one continued the topic.

Tianji knew that Shen Lian was trying to comfort himself.

Shen Lian also knew that Tianji was going to work hard to catch up with them.

Shen Lian turned around and returned to the secret passage.

Looking at the sleeve nailed to the wall by the arrow.

Shen Lian turned around and returned to the secret passage.

Looking at the sleeve nailed to the wall by the arrow.
