Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Suddenly, Yaoguang's eyes widened.

His entire face turned extremely pale in an instant.

My hands and feet suddenly became cold.

"you you……"

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He just said it casually, but Shen Lian deduced all this.

Moreover, he also knew how terrifying Shen Lian was.

With Shen Lian's intelligence, it is really not too difficult to pick one out of the limited ten places.

In this case……

He didn't dare to think any further.

"Devil, you... are a devil!"

At this moment, Yaoguang suddenly understood the feelings of Yuheng and others who died at the hands of Shen Lian.

Powerless and terrified!
It’s really Shen Lian’s brain, it’s so terrifying!

Shen Lian smiled and said, "It is my greatest honor to be praised as a devil by you."

"you……"

Yaoguang couldn't help but pause.

Suddenly, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Shen Lian, don't be complacent. You are indeed very smart, but showing up at this time is the stupidest thing! As long as I kill you, what's the point of your intelligence!"

He shouted, "Kill them, quickly! Send half of the men to kill Shen Lian!"

Those monks immediately divided out half of their men and formed two battle formations, attacking Li Shimin and Shen Lian respectively.

At this time, Li Shimin still had seven guards protecting him, but Shen Lian only had Zhang He.

As for Zhang He, his stealth and stealing abilities are top-notch, but his fighting abilities are not good.

So when he is with Shen Lian, let alone protecting Shen Lian, he may even need Shen Lian to protect him.

Seeing that the monks all had murderous intent on their faces, without any mercy as monks, and only had the evil spirit of the devil, his face couldn't help but become tense.

"Lord Shen, what should we do?" Zhang He couldn't help but say.

Shen Lian just chuckled when he heard this, and said calmly: "Zhang He, remember one thing."

"What?" Zhang He was stunned.

Shen Lian said calmly: "When you are with me, Shen, you will never have to worry about danger."

"Ah?" Zhang He didn't understand.

Shen Lian looked at the monks rushing towards him with a calm and composed smile on his face.

He said: "I never do anything that I am not sure of."

"So, since I know the thieves' plan, how could I really dare to leave Your Majesty here without any preparation?"

"...What does Lord Shen mean?" Zhang He looked at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian smiled and suddenly said loudly: "The time has come, let's do it."

Just as he finished speaking, suddenly——
call out!call out!call out!
Several sounds of breaking wind suddenly rang out.

As for those monks who rushed towards Shen Lian and Li Shimin, several of them were nailed to the ground by crossbow arrows in an instant.

At the same time, dozens of guards suddenly rushed over from the shadows on both sides.

He started fighting with those monks directly.

When Yaoguang saw this scene, his expression suddenly changed.

"How could it be? How could there be guards lurking nearby?"

He never expected that there would be guards lying in ambush nearby.

He didn't have time to think about it, and shouted: "Don't worry about Shen Lian, just deal with Li Shimin. As long as Li Shimin is killed, Shen Lian will be in trouble!"

Those monks immediately rushed towards Li Shimin.

At this moment, Li Shimin, who was protected by the guards, suddenly grinned.

He suddenly rushed forward, slapped a monk away with one palm, and snatched the sword from Wu Song's hand.

Then the long sword came out and pierced directly through Song's heart.

Under the monk's incredulous gaze, he smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm a fake. The real Majesty is currently drinking tea leisurely in the palace."

This sudden change stunned Yaoguang and others.

These monks were all a little confused.

Looking at the beautiful kung fu of "Li Shimin" and listening to Li Shimin saying that he was a fake Li Shimin, their heads were buzzing for a moment and they didn't know what to do.

At this time, Yaoguang's brain was also a little confused.

This sudden change came without any warning at all, and even he was unable to react for a moment.

As for the monks of Huasheng Temple who were hiding aside and trembling, their expressions had already become dazed.

These reversals and sudden changes completely froze their brains.

There are indeed too many reversals and too many shocks.

Their brains are good for chanting, but they are completely idiotic when it comes to calculating.

Stop talking about them.

Even Zhang He, the heir of a thief family, was deeply confused when he saw "Li Shimin" fighting with the monk there and that "Li Shimin"'s kung fu was better than his own.

Damn it! !

He thought he might be dreaming.

It was really a series of unexpected events, one after another, which made him completely stunned.

If Xu Gou were here, he might pat him on the shoulder and tell him, "Brother, you are not alone. Compared with the young master, we are all idiots."

But Xu Gou was not here, no one comforted him, and no one told him that this was the basic operation of their young master.

Therefore, Zhang He's outlook on life is facing collapse and reshaping. For the first time in his life, he feels that there is something wrong with his IQ.

"You are not Li Shimin, then who are you!?"

At this moment, Yaoguang roared, bringing Zhang He back to his senses.

Zhang He subconsciously looked at Yaoguang, only to see that Yaoguang's face had turned red, and she looked depressed and incredulous, just like an abandoned young wife, full of powerlessness.

At this moment, Yaoguang was staring at Li Shimin so hard that his teeth were about to break.

Li Shimin stabbed another monk to death with his sword, glanced at Yaoguang, raised his left hand, and directly tore off the human skin mask on his face, sneering: "Open your dog eyes and look carefully, your grandfather is the young master's subordinate, Si Snake!"

"Snake!?"

Yaoguang stared at Sishe with eyes wide open.

When he came to Chang'an to deal with Shen Lian, how could he not investigate the capable people under Shen Lian's command?

How is it possible not to know the Snake?

But...but Shen Lian came to Huasheng Temple without bringing the Snake!
So, why is the Snake here?

More importantly, why would Si Snake disguise himself as Li Shimin and be here?
What about the real Li Shimin?

Could it be... Could it be that Li Shimin didn't fall into the trap?

"You are right, Your Majesty... You don't have a large sum of money at all, or... Even if Your Majesty has fallen into the trap, I will not let you fall into it." At this time, Shen Lian seemed to see through Yaoguang's thoughts, and his voice sounded faintly.

Yaoguang suddenly turned his head and looked at Shen Lian.

Then he saw Shen Lian still standing there.

At this time, the night ended and the day began to dawn. The first ray of sunlight rose from the east and shone just behind Shen Lian.

Shen Lian was completely bathed in the red light.

It feels as if the scorching sun rises because of Shen Lian.

Shen Lian looked at Yaoguang and said slowly: "I have to admit that both you and Beichen are not bad in ability."

"Your ability to hide almost fooled me. I can say that your disguise skills are not inferior to Zhang He's. This is incredible!"

"However, no matter how good you are at hiding, if I determine that there is a thief hidden among the monks of Huasheng Temple, then your whole body will be full of flaws, and it will be useless for me to find you."

Yaoguang frowned and asked, "Why do you think there is something wrong with the monks in Huasheng Temple?"

Shen Lian raised his hand, pointed at the ruins where the flames were gradually dwindling, and said calmly: "Isn't this obvious enough?"

"Those explosives were obviously buried in advance, so they were able to blow up the entire temple in one go."

"To hide so much explosives without anyone noticing... and without the monks knowing, there is no other possibility except that the monks in Huasheng Temple did it themselves."

"Moreover, burying so much explosives without even a single monk knowing about it is not something that can be done without alerting the monks. Only the high-ranking officials of Huasheng Temple can do it. After all, only these high-ranking officials can send the monks away in advance and secretly bury the explosives."

"The most suspicious people who can do this are the abbot and you. However, the abbot..."

Shen Lian glanced at Dezhi who was still unconscious and said with a smile: "You also saw it, it's impossible for him to be the one, so you are the most suspicious!"

"So, after I have locked onto you, I will confirm your identity. Do you think it is difficult... with my ability?"

Yaoguang stopped talking.

His heart sank.

He saw with his own eyes how terrifying Shen Lian was.

Cracking the scam and escaping from a deadly situation... even he couldn't help but praise all of this as amazing!
Therefore, it was not difficult for Shen Lian to discover his true identity after doubting himself!

He was confident that he could deceive anyone, but he was not confident that he could deceive Shen Lian.

Shen Lian is a man so smart that sometimes it really makes people despair.

He took a deep breath and said, "But even if you find something wrong with me, what about Li Shimin? Why is Li Shimin fake?"

This is what puzzles him the most!
Before he took action, he didn't know that Li Shimin would also become his target.

Beichen did an excellent job of keeping secrets.

He only found out everything this evening!

The most important thing is, according to intelligence, although Shen Lian is Li Shimin’s son-in-law, the two of them have never met!

It is a truly strange existence!!
So how could Shen Lian, who came so early in the morning, ask Li Shimin to make a substitution in advance?

Shen Lian chuckled and said, "Isn't this simpler?"

"Beichen wrote me a letter of challenge, and the tone of provocation was very obvious. He knew Wenyuan very well and knew that I, Shen, would definitely accept such a case and such a challenge."

"So, he set a big trap for me, one thing after another... To be honest, when I first came here, I didn't expect him to have set up so many schemes."

After all, he came here just to investigate a stolen relic case.

But who knew that he first found out that the theft of the relics was actually a scam, and then discovered that the mastermind behind it was the abbot.

Then, it was discovered that there were other mysterious people behind the abbot, and the abbot was also deceived!

Later, His Majesty Li Shimin joined in halfway and the situation was completely dangerous.

Fortunately, he found the heir of the thief family and escaped from danger successfully.

But who knows, all of that is just the obvious, and Beichen's real grasp is Yaoguang, the hidden line.

Then he took advantage of the situation!

This is already the fifth level!

It was a small case, but after careful investigation, the truth was found to be hidden in the fifth layer.

Who can believe it?
However, when it comes to lasagna or nesting dolls, I am obviously more professional!

I was standing on the sixth or even the seventh floor.

So, we have the current result!

Shen Lian looked at Yao Guang and said, "Beichen knows me and is setting a trap for me. And I, Shen, know that Beichen has ulterior motives."

"After all, Beichen was the leader of the Beidou Society at that time!!"

"So I naturally won't take it lightly, and I will try to figure out Beichen's character and actions based on the bits of information he revealed."

"In summary, the members of the Beidou Society have been causing suffering to the Tang Dynasty, embarrassing Your Majesty, and targeting Your Majesty everywhere."

"As the leader of the Beidou Society, his target is obviously Your Majesty, but he will not do it himself. He always uses others to stir up trouble."

"Perhaps, he really likes the feeling of using others as pawns while stirring up trouble behind the scenes."

"Therefore, I also took this into account and gave Si Snake a secret mission before leaving."

Sishe then said, "Young Master told me that during his absence, if anything happens to His Majesty, we must keep His Majesty stable!"

"For this reason, I went to look for the young master's friends, Wei Zheng, the Dali Temple's Junior Official Bai Yanguan, the Duke of Lu, Cheng Yaojin, and other important figures."

"Tell them about the young master's request and ask for their help. If His Majesty wants to leave the palace, then let me, a little expert in disguise, do my old job and pretend to be His Majesty."

"Later, the plan unexpectedly succeeded very easily!! His Majesty didn't even think about it. When he heard that it was my young master's idea, he agreed immediately!"

"This also made Lord Wei and his men depressed for a while, thinking that they had made a wasted trip."

"Ahem, let's not talk about this, it's precisely because of these reasons."

"So, I came to Huasheng Temple on behalf of Your Majesty."

He smiled and looked at Yaoguang, saying, "How is it? My ability to disguise as a snake is not bad, right?"

More than good...

Damn, why not just never doubt Li Shimin's identity at all?

Thinking back to when I pretended to be Deyuan, and it turned out that my target was also pretending, and turned out to be more professional than me, and even fooled myself...

Deyuan didn’t know what to say!
He just wants to say that you guys who play tactics have such dirty hearts!

This routine, one after another.

Unbearable!

Yaoguang no longer wanted to say anything.

He didn't know what to say.

When he first learned about Beichen's plan, and found out that Beichen had dug so many traps and schemes, he shouted "Fuck" countless times.

He felt that this time he was absolutely sure.

After all, who would have thought that such a horrific plan was hidden behind a minor case of stolen relics.

He felt that no one would be able to crack this.
