Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 705 puts it first!
"He was very confident. When he said that to you, he probably didn't even bother to look at you. And it was at that moment that he completely touched your bottom line. In your rage, you took your stone sculpture and hit him hard on the back of the head!"

"Just like that, Zhang Qin, because of his arrogance, didn't expect that he would die here."

"And because of this, you have become a murderer!"

Shen Lian paused, as if giving everyone time to react.

Immediately, he sighed and said, "This is the whole truth about Zhang Qin's arson and murder."

"Han Xun, am I right?"

When everyone heard Shen Lian's words, they all looked at Han Xun.

They held their breath, nervously waiting for Han Xun's answer.

They were also eager to know whether the truth of all this was really as Shen Lian had inferred.

The interior is quiet.

Outside the window, the night wind is howling.

The shadows of the trees are mottled, and the moonlight is divided.

Han Xun was silent for a long time, then he sighed.

He said: "Sir Shen is indeed the smartest man in the Tang Dynasty. This is not the first time I have said this, but every time I say it, I am convinced."

"Everything is as Lord Shen said, it is all true."

"Zhang Qin knows the brotherhood between me and Zhao Da, and he threatened Zhao Da's relatives, and said that if I didn't listen to him, I would be a traitor and an unrighteous person!"

“Then, he threatened me with my family, saying that if I didn’t listen, my whole family would die in the burial ground tonight.”

"I have no other choice. Mr. Zhao's family is controlled by him. I don't know where he has hidden them. I can't ask anyone else for help."

"So, I was furious and murderous, and I did this."

"I thought I had done it very secretly and handled it well afterwards, but I didn't expect that Lord Shen would solve the case directly as if he had seen it with his own eyes."

"Now I am convinced and convinced. I killed the man and stole the files. I know I made a big mistake. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you."

When Zhao Yeqin heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red: "Han Xun, you are obviously doing this for me. If you want to kill Lord Shen, take me with you!"

Everyone felt complicated when they saw this.

He looked at Shen Lian, not knowing what to say.

Shen Lian looked at the two brothers who were so close to each other, pondered for a moment, then looked at Si She and said, "Before that, Si She, go do something first."

Sishe hurriedly said, "Please give me your orders, sir."

Shen Lian said: "Use the power of the Shadow Guards to find Zhao Yeqin's family members who are controlled by Zhang Qin, and do everything you can to rescue them. Remember, you must not let them get hurt."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Shen Lian fiercely.

Zhao Yeqin's eyes instantly filled with tears: "Lord Shen, you..."

Zhao Yeqin was so moved that he burst into tears.

He thought that after Shen Lian knew all the truth, he would bring them to justice as soon as possible.

But he didn't expect that the first thing Shen Lian would do was to rescue his relatives!

This made Zhao Yeqin full of gratitude at this moment.

Han Xun also raised his head unexpectedly and looked at Shen Lian. His burning eyes were filled with surprise, joy and excitement.

Shen Lian looked at the expressions of the two people and said with a smile: "In your minds, am I such a cold-blooded crime-solving machine?"

He smiled and said, "When I adjudicate a case, the law comes first, but the law, reason and emotion, also follow closely behind the law."

"So, whether from the perspective of the relationship between colleagues or morality, I cannot turn a blind eye when I know that the relatives of my colleagues have been robbed by thieves."

"If I do nothing, then you should be surprised."

Then he said to Sishe: "Go quickly, rescue them this morning, and we can rest assured as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Snake turned around and left without any hesitation.

Zhao Yeqin looked at Sishe's departing back, thinking about the power of Shadow Guard, and he felt relieved.

If there is anyone in this world who can rescue his family members knowing that they are safe, it can only be the most mysterious and powerful Shadow Guard.

After all, the Shadow Guards were originally used to protect His Majesty!

Anyone who can protect Your Majesty cannot be weak.

Zhao Yeqin took a deep breath, then bowed deeply to Shen Lian. He said, "I will never forget your kindness, Lord Qin. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Shen Lian smiled and shook his head: "Master Zhao, you don't have to repay me. I have also said that this is what I should do."

After he finished speaking, he stretched and said, "Saving people is the most important thing, so I put saving people first."

"Then, let's talk about the handling of this case."

Hearing Shen Lian's words, everyone looked at Shen Lian.

Zhao Yeqin and Han Xun couldn't help but become nervous at this moment.

They know what sins they have committed and are now worried about their future fate.

Wang Xiaohua looked at the two of them and sighed.

Du Chuke also shook his head.

After all, both of them have their own difficulties.

But this case has been taken over by the Dali Temple, and Shen Lian, as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, has the power to make the decision.

Out of respect for Shen Lian, Du Chuke couldn't say anything.

Therefore, the future of Zhao Yeqin and Han Xun now falls into Shen Lian's hands.

Even if the Ministry of Justice will conduct the final review in the future, you have to know that the Minister of Justice is Bai Yanguan, who is no different from Shen Lian's biological grandfather. Bai Yanguan would not oppose any decision made by Shen Lian.

In other words, now is the moment to decide the fate of the two.

There were clouds in the sky blown by the wind, blocking the moonlight and making the earth dark.

Shen Lian looked at the two of them and said, "Zhao Yeqin, over the years, you have been threatened by Zhang Qin and have been working for him."

"Although you were threatened, you have done it. What you did has already caused some losses to the Tang Dynasty. What do you have to say?"

Zhao Yeqin pursed his lips and then shook his head: "Everything is subject to the decision of Lord Shen."

Shen Lian looked at Han Xun again and said, "Han Xun, although you switched the files to help your brother, switching files is not allowed. No matter what the reason is, the moment you did that, you broke the law."

"Not to mention, you killed someone with your own hands."

"Do you have anything to say about these two things?"

Han Xun lowered his eyes, looked at the ground, and shook his head: "I plead guilty."

"it is good!"

Shen Lian looked at the two of them and said, "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Yeqin must be dismissed from his post and investigated, and he will have to spend at least ten years in prison."

"As for Zhang Qin, he must be exiled to the frontier and is not allowed to return to Chang'an within 20 years."

Hearing Shen Lian's words, everyone felt sorry for him.

Zhao Yeqin and Han Xun's faces turned even paler.

Their whole bodies were trembling, but they did not beg for mercy or cry out for injustice. They admired Shen Lian's character, and they also knew that Shen Lian did this only in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

It wasn't that Shen Lian was targeting them on purpose.

On the contrary, Shen Lian's punishment was considered lenient.

Otherwise, Zhang Qin might have died immediately.

The two men bowed to Shen Lian directly: "Sinners, obey your orders."

"What orders are you listening to? I haven't finished speaking yet."

Unexpectedly, Shen Lian's tone suddenly changed, and the moonlight descended upon the world again.

Shen Lian looked at them and said, "Zhao Yeqin endured humiliation for his family and relatives. This filial piety and true love are admirable."

"If a person is ruthless even to his relatives, he is no longer a human being."

"Although Han Xun did steal the files, he saved the precious files and saved our Tang Dynasty from any loss."

"As for the killing of Zhang Qin... Zhang Qin was a thief of the Beidou Society. By killing Zhang Qin, he actually prevented this hateful thief from escaping and eliminated a traitor for our Tang Dynasty. This is an even greater achievement."

"So, your merits obviously outweigh your faults... Therefore, I will make an exception and let you compare your merits and faults without rewarding or punishing you. You will need to work hard to make progress in the future. The Tang Dynasty needs loyal people like you."

Shen Lian made the final decision.

One word determines the life and death of Zhao Yeqin and Han Xun.

This caused great fluctuations in the emotions of everyone present.

Zhao Yeqin's eyes were red.

Han Xun looked at Shen Lian in disbelief.

When he heard Shen Lian's first words, he felt that his life would always be shrouded in darkness.

But he didn't expect it.

The next moment, Shen Lian gave him hope and light again.

Shen Lian was like a god, tearing apart the darkness for him and allowing the light to fall on him again.

This made Han Xun unable to hide his emotion and gratitude.

He understood that Shen Lian was deliberately helping him.

Otherwise, even if he didn't have to be exiled to the frontier, he would have no chance of getting this job.

But Shen Lian neither rewarded nor punished him, which was the greatest favor he could show him.

Han Xun took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Shen Lian. He said, "I will never forget your kindness in this life!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yeqin also quickly bowed deeply again.

Du Chuke couldn't help but shook his head, a smile appearing on his face.

He now suddenly understood why people all over the world called Shen Lian the "Great Judge of the Tang Dynasty"!
Shen Lian will not only eliminate darkness for the world and bring brightness to the world, but he is also a man of affection and justice who abides by the law and principles. He is a truly respectable person!
And when Wang Xiaohua looked at Shen Lian at this moment, there was a gleam of light in her beautiful eyes.

She looked at Shen Lian with tenderness in her eyes. She knew that after Lord Shen knew the truth of the matter and the pity and affection between Zhao Yeqin and Han Xun, he would definitely give the brothers a good ending.

After all, Lord Shen said that he hopes this world is full of warmth.

Shen Lian stepped forward and helped Zhao Yeqin and Han Xun up.

He looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, and said, "You don't have to thank me. Although I have made an exception, it is not without basis that I will give you a lenient punishment."

"You killed Zhang Qin, which is a great achievement."

"It's just that you stole the files and concealed the truth afterwards, which prevented you from getting the proper reward for your great contribution."

"So, if you want to be thankful, thank yourselves for your perseverance and good conscience, as well as your luck."

"If Zhang Qin wasn't a thief, no one would be able to save you today."

After saying that, Shen Lian said no more. He looked at Han Xun and said, "Han Xun, take us to find those files."

"Zhang Qin and Han Xun are not fighting alone. There are many terrible people behind them. Now no one knows that the files are hidden by you, but if they know, not only you will be in danger, but also those files."

"So, we immediately find the files and take them back, so that you won't be targeted by them for hiding the files."

Upon hearing this, Han Xun realized what kind of terrifying vortex he had fallen into.

He did not dare to delay or hesitate, and said quickly: "The file is hidden in the study in my mansion, Lord Shen, Lord Du, please follow me."

Having said that, Han Xun walked out quickly.

Shen Lian and Du Chuke looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they gathered enough people and headed towards Han Xun's mansion.

By this time the sky was already very dark and the time had arrived at midnight.

The streets were very quiet.

Occasionally they would encounter patrolling soldiers, but with two important court officials like Shen Lian and Du Chuke around, these soldiers did not stop them.

Soon, they arrived at Han Xun's residence.

I knocked on the door and it was soon opened.

The butler-like man poked his head out and was a little surprised when he saw Han Xun and so many people: "Master, what is this?"

Han Xun said directly: "Nothing, go and have a rest. No one is allowed to leave the room or approach the study without my order."

When the butler heard it, he knew it was something important.

He didn't dare to hesitate and nodded quickly.

Then, Han Xun said to Shen Lian, "Sir, please come in."

As he spoke, he continued to lead the way.

After passing through the corridor and the garden, we soon arrived at a room in the backyard.

Pushing open the door, Han Xun lit a candle, then pointed to the bookshelf behind him and said, "All those files are here."

Shen Lian listened to Han Xun's words and looked towards the bookshelf.

I saw that the bookshelf was almost full of files.

The yellowed pages of the book, full of the breath of time, lie there quietly.

As Shen Lian's fingertips passed over, he felt a slight itch and moved slightly.

Shen Lian took down a file, opened it, and found that it was a file from thirteen years ago. It recorded the design drawings of a dam built by the Ministry of Works and the final lessons learned.

The design drawing contains the principles of such design.

Experience includes how many people, materials, time, and money are needed to build such a dam...

Almost everything is covered, including human, material and financial resources.

They are all very valuable experiences.

If you see a similar dam in the future, you can directly refer to this file to carry out initial personnel and material deployment.

In this way, detours and waste of time can be reduced to a great extent.

It can be said that its significance is extremely precious.

This is a file, but it is also a treasure of mankind.

It can be said that its significance is extremely precious.
