Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

But who knew that the slap in the face would come so quickly.

He was so shocked that he exclaimed “Wow!” and was so excited about Beichen’s plan.

How terrifying it is now.

Is Shen Lian still a human being?
He originally thought that Number One, who was so perfect in his calculations, was no longer a human being.

But now, when comparing Beichen and Shen Lian, he felt that Beichen was still a human being, while Shen Lian was basically a devil!

He had never thought that a person's intelligence could have such terrifying power.

No wonder Yuheng, Tianquan and Tianji finally fell into Shen Lian’s hands, it’s not unfair!
It’s really not unfair at all!

Shen Lian looked at Yaoguang's changing expression and said with a smile: "Beichen from your organization is indeed very good at scheming, but I, Shen, am not bad either. I really don't know who he is or what he is planning, but as long as I am careful and cautious enough, I will not be afraid of anything."

"So, when Sishe disguised himself as His Majesty, I had already roughly guessed your plan. In order to expose all your tricks, I will play along with you and have some fun with you."

"Isn't it? It turns out that in this simple game, I am the winner!"

“Haha… Speaking of which, Yaoguang, why don’t you use your brain to think about it.”

"I, Shen, am meeting His Majesty for the first time today, and I'm sure you all know that."

"The first time I met Your Majesty, I didn't feel any fear or trepidation. Didn't you find something strange?"

"If I were you, I would definitely notice that there is definitely something wrong! There must be a trap!!"

"It's a pity that you, Yaoguang, are not me, Shen, after all."

"Such a simple plan cannot be seen through."

When Zhang He heard Shen Lian talking about a simple game of chess, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times.

What the hell!

I think you're just pretending.

You call this simple?
Even though I experienced everything personally, I still feel dizzy when I think back on it now. This thrilling game of chess with endless twists and turns, how could you call it simple?
Is there any misunderstanding on our understanding of the word simple?
Zhang He was speechless, shocked and astonished!

It was not until this moment that he truly realized what kind of evil master he was following.

This brain has reached the sky, right?

Following such a master, Zhang He didn't dare to have any other thoughts.

He felt that playing tricks on a master like Shen Lian was just asking for trouble, and he might not even know how he died in the end.

Yaoguang also wanted to yell, "If you don't act cool, you'll die!"

How f*cking simple is this?
If Shen Lian knew what they were thinking, he would probably feel very aggrieved.

Because he knew that this was really just a simple game between him and Beichen.

He was the first to make two moves, and the incident at Huasheng Temple was Beichen's response and Beichen's move.

Now he had made another move, which was his first attempt, and he had won the victory.

All in all, both myself and Beichen only had five or six chess pieces left.

This is just a test game.

So, is there anything wrong with describing it as simple?

Of course, the simple game between him and Beichen might be hell-level difficult for others.

Standing at different heights, you will naturally look at things from different angles.

At this time, the battle gradually ended.

With the last monk being killed by the Dog, all the monks were eliminated.

There was only one Yaoguang left at the scene.

The guards quickly surrounded Yaoguang.

This time, Yaoguang really can't escape even if he has wings.

Shen Lian looked at Yao Guang and said with a smile: "Do you have any backup plan? Or, has Beichen left you a backup plan? If not, I think... today, you are doomed."

Yaoguang's face looked extremely ugly.

He gripped the weapon tightly, his palms were sweaty and many beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He looked at Shen Lian and others with an extremely serious expression.

Seeing this, Shen Lian smiled and said, "It seems that Beichen still doesn't value your life enough! He didn't even leave you any backup plan."

"So, Yaoguang... do you want to die here, or surrender?"

"If you surrender, I promise to spare your life! I know very little about your organization now, so you should know that your life is very important to me. I, Shen, will never let you die easily!"

"But if you resist, I won't guarantee your life."

"It's not easy to live once in this world. As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Why die when you have the chance to live? And if your organization really values ​​you while you're alive, they might come to save you! If you're lucky enough to be saved, wouldn't you make a fortune?"

Shen Lian was not in a hurry to take action. He was obviously using psychological tactics. He smiled and said, "So, do you want to die or live? I'll give you a choice."

Yaoguang, who was originally prepared to fight to the death, suddenly hesitated after hearing Shen Lian's words.

He has risen from an unknown person to his current position, so of course he doesn't want to die.

If there was a chance to survive, he certainly wouldn't give it up.

But if I were caught by Shen Lian, would I really have a chance to survive?
He didn't think Shen Lian would let him go.

"If I fall into your hands, you really won't kill me?" he asked.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "You should know how important you are to me. As long as you don't spit it out completely, you will always be valuable."

Shen Lian didn't fool Yaoguang either.

Yaoguang is one of the Big Dipper and he is not stupid.

He must understand that if he tells the truth at this time, he will surely die!
Instead, it is correct to keep it to yourself and tell half-truths.

Shen Lian also knew this, and what he said made it easier for Yaoguang to have the will to live.

If a person has the will to die, it is very difficult to deal with him. However, if he has the will to live, it is not easy to make him die.

Of course, Shen Lian would not kill him unless he told the secret.

But what if you spit it all out?

What? He could keep silent about it?

It fell into Shen Lian's hands. With Shen Lian's methods, Shen Lian didn't think Yaoguang could hide it for long.

Yaoguang gritted his teeth, a little hesitant.

Shen Lian looked up at the sky. The sun had already risen completely.

The night ends and the day begins.

The world is once again filled with light.

He said, "When you hesitate, it means you have made a decision. Then put down your weapon. There is no need to play that game in front of me, Shen. If you hesitate, I will think you are a woman."

"you……"

Yaoguang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Are the insults to Shen Lian too harsh?
But Shen Lian was telling the truth.

It's really powerless to be an enemy of a smart person like Shen Lian.

He sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll vote--uh--" Suddenly, Yaoguang's eyes widened, and the pupils in his eyes seemed to be about to pop out.

He suddenly covered his throat with both hands and wanted to say something, but he had no chance.

The next moment, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell backwards instantly.

"not good!"

Shen Lian was shocked and rushed over.

But when he reached Yaoguang, Yaoguang had already fallen to the ground, no longer breathing.

Zhang He and Xu Gou rushed over at this time.

Xu Gou couldn't help but said, "Master, what...what happened?"

Zhang He looked puzzled.

Why did you suddenly vomit blood?
Shen Lian took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said, "Poisoned to death."

"Poisoned to death?"

Both of them were stunned.

Shen Lian suddenly looked at Xu Gou and said, "Yaoguang, did you eat anything just now? Or drink anything?"

Xu Gou thought for a moment and said quickly, "The monk went to the stream to fetch water and gave some to Yaoguang to drink. Then Yaoguang added some ingredients and gave them to us to drink. Two of our brothers got infected, but it's not a big problem."

Shen Lian sighed and said, "This is Beichen's back-up plan!"

"What?" They were both surprised.

Shen Lian said: "Yaoguang has said before that these monks were not arranged by him, but given to him by Yaoguang. These monks were originally from the temple."

"This means that Beichen may have planned it several years ago and placed his own people in the Huasheng Temple, so these monks did not need to disguise themselves and became their accomplices."

"Just now, a monk gave Yaoguang water to drink. I think... Yaoguang was poisoned at that time. But it's not an acute poison. It should take some time for the poison to take effect."

"If the monk had given him the antidote before the poison took effect, he would be fine and wouldn't even know he was poisoned."

"But if no one gives him the antidote before the poison takes effect, then when the time comes, he will definitely die."

"This is Beichen's back-up plan!"

Speaking of this, Shen Lian couldn't help but sigh.

This number really takes everything into account.

If Yaoguang succeeds, then the antidote will naturally be given to Yaoguang, and Yaoguang will be safe and sound.

But if Yaoguang failed and was caught by himself, then Yaoguang would surely die from the poison, and Beichen would not have to worry about Yaoguang betraying him.

Although Beichen did not come here in person, he had calculated everything to the extreme and also considered how to deal with failure very carefully.

This person is really qualified to be my opponent!
Xu Gou couldn't help but say, "Master, this is such a pity! Yaoguang was clearly about to surrender!"

Zhang He couldn't help but nodded.

But Shen Lian smiled and shook his head, without any regret on his face.

He said, "It's okay. If he dies, he dies. It doesn't matter whether he can be caught or not."

"If we catch him, we have to think of ways to make him talk, and we have to figure out whether his words are true or false. This may not be a good thing for us."

"And if you don't catch it, it doesn't matter."

The corners of Shen Lian's mouth curled up slightly: "Do you remember what I said before? I have already obtained enough clues from him, and the subsequent investigation has a direction. It doesn't matter even if we don't have his information."

"Looking back at the past, whether it was Yuheng or Tianquan, which time did I not rely on my own abilities to find them out?"

"So, don't take it too seriously. Yaoguang is one of the Big Dipper. His status in the Big Dipper Society is definitely not low! Beichen poisoned him to death, which can be regarded as removing an arm!"

"So, the winner is..."

Shen Lian chuckled and said, "It's still me, Shen!"

"hiss……"

At this time, the unconscious abbot Dezhi slowly opened his eyes.

He rubbed his forehead and felt a severe headache: "I had a nightmare. In the nightmare, our Huasheng Temple was gone..."

"Abbot, this is not a dream, he is really gone."

"what?"

"Not only is the Huasheng Temple gone, but our guard monks are gone too."

"what??"

"Not only is the guard monk gone, but the head of the Dharma Academy, your fellow apprentice, is also gone."

"what???"

"They are plotting a rebellion and want to kill Your Majesty, so we may be implicated and we may all perish together."

"puff……"

Abbot Dezhi, who had just woken up, vomited blood again and fainted again after a few breaths.

aside.

Xu Gou: "..."

Zhang He: “…”

Shen Lian: "..."

Yaoguang was poisoned to death by Beichen, which put an end to the first game between Shen Lian and Beichen.

In this game, Beichen showed his full strength, while Shen Lian did not pay anything except using his wisdom.

But Beichen lost a monk who had set up a deployment in Huasheng Temple at some unknown time, and also lost a general like Yaoguang. The losses were heavy.

Therefore, the winner of this game is obviously Shen Lian!
Although Yaoguang was not caught and was dealt with by Beichen, Shen Lian had already extracted a lot of information about Yaoguang. This information was enough to point Shen Lian in the direction.

Therefore, Yaoguang’s life or death is not that important. If he dies, he dies.

In this way, the case of the lost relics in Huasheng Temple was successfully concluded.

That result was completely different from what everyone had expected a day ago.

After all, who could have thought that a small case of missing relics would eventually lead to the destruction of the Huasheng Temple?
Looking at the abbot who had fainted again, Xu Gou asked, "Master, what should we do with them?"

Shen Lian glanced at the monks who had not yet fully reacted and were still a little dazed, and said calmly: "Take them all back. I want to borrow the government office to investigate them one by one. There are so many thieves hiding in Huasheng Temple, no one can guarantee that others have not been corrupted or bought. So take them back to the government office for a careful investigation. If anything is found, we will deal with them as needed."

If we can't find out, we will just release them. However... now that Huasheng Temple is gone, the situation of these Buddhist disciples will probably be very difficult in the future.

In the debate between Buddhism and Taoism, it is obvious that Taoism will win again this time.

As the face of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, Huasheng Temple, regardless of the identities of those who plotted rebellion, came from Huasheng Temple. In addition, the abbot of Huasheng Temple created such a scam, which became the beginning of all this...

All these things will be explained in the future. His Majesty Li Shimin is not the kind of person who will accept things passively.

Therefore, one can imagine the future status of Buddhism in Li Shimin’s heart.

Their future situation can be imagined.

Their future situation can be imagined.
