Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Xu Gou was stunned: "Master, aren't we going to catch him?"

"Catch him? Why do you want to catch him?"

Shen Lian showed a meaningful smile: "If we want to catch him, why should I do it myself?"

You forgot what I said before, he is just a bait, our target is all the forces of the Yinyuan Society in Chang'an!"

"Next, some fun things will happen..."

Shen Lian and Xu Gou walked out of the teahouse.

Looking at the street in the distance, you can still see Li Wencheng curled up there.

Xu Gou said, "Master, are we just going to leave like this and ignore him?"

"Of course we can't just ignore it. It's an important bait. What if it dies or gets lost?"

Shen Lian said, "Arrange a few new people from our Shen Mansion, led by Wu Ma, to secretly watch him. They must take turns watching him 24 hours a day, and must not be careless."

"At the same time, let them pay attention. If no one gives alms to Li Wencheng, then let them give alms. They must make him stand firm in the beggars' den. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to do the things that come next."

Xu Gou was about to nod, but suddenly froze for a moment, looked at Shen Lian, and asked in confusion: "He has something else to do? What is it?"

Shen Lian chuckled and said, "Have you forgotten? Li Wencheng became a beggar not because he really likes being a beggar, but to escape from Chang'an City!"

"So, he definitely won't just be content to be a beggar. He chooses to be a beggar, not only because it's easier to hide and get information, but more importantly..."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "If he becomes a beggar, it will be easy for him to get in touch with forces that can help him."

"A force that can help him?"

Xu Gou was stunned: "Who in Chang'an City dares to help him? Who dares to go against the court and the overall situation at this critical moment?"

Shen Lian chuckled: "You forgot that in this world, there is light above and darkness below! Some people, as long as they give money and enough benefits, they can help someone get out of Chang'an City. How difficult do you think it is?"

Xu Gou's heart suddenly moved.

He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Master, what you mean is... could it be... the underground world?"

Shen Lian smiled and nodded.

"guessed?"

Xu Gou said: "Only those guys in Chang'an's underground world dare to be so unscrupulous. Besides, it was Master Hu Guang who took me to the underground world for the first time. I have come into contact with them several times since then and received some help from them. Naturally, I know their abilities."

"The beggars all over the city can be said to be the spies of the underworld. They have many other forces, so if they can help..."

Xu Gou said solemnly: "Maybe, I can really help Li Wencheng escape without anyone noticing."

As Shen Lian walked, he smiled and said, "Not bad, you are now thinking more and more deeply about things. You can think independently about many things without my reminders. That's good."

Being praised by Shen Lian, Xu Gou actually scratched his hair a little embarrassedly.

He said: "This is all thanks to the careful teaching of the young master. If it weren't for the young master, I might still be a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill."

These words of Xu Gou are all from the heart.

Followed by.

Xu Gou frowned and said, "Master, will he really go to the underground world?"

"meeting!"

Shen Lian said with absolute determination.

"Li Wencheng may look down on those bugs in the underground world, but I believe that he must have left a way out for himself. It is very difficult for people who don't know the underground world to find it... Therefore, for someone who has never been to the underground world, the most convenient way is to be a beggar."

"I think Li Wencheng chose to be a beggar for this reason."

"As a beggar, it is easier for it to get in touch with the underground world, and it can also learn about the reputation and situation of the underground world from other beggars... So, I guess..."

Shen Lian raised his lips and said, "It won't be long before he goes to the underground world! He knows how dangerous it is now. The longer he stays in Chang'an, the more danger he will face."

"I, Beichen, have too many people who want to catch him and kill him. They are all smart people. They know that he can't hide for long, so... at most, no more than three days, he will definitely go to the underground world!"

Xu Gou thought about it carefully and then nodded.

He said, "Will the underworld help him?"

"Yes! I must!"

Shen Lian said confidently: "Not only will I help him, I will help him very seriously."

"Just those bedbugs?" Xu Gou was a little unconvinced.

In his opinion, it would be a good idea for those bugs to swallow Li Wencheng.

Still helping Li Wencheng?
Shen Lian smiled: "Why? Don't you believe it?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, but... I think those guys might not be so kind."

"Of course they won't be so kind, but what if all this is ordered by me, His Majesty, who has personally appointed the person in charge of the case?" Shen Lian said with a smile.

Xu Gou suddenly raised his head and his eyes instantly looked at Shen Lian.

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something.

"Young Master, could it be that...in the underground world, they will listen to you?" asked Xu Gou.

Shen Lian said with a smile: "Go and take a look, then you will know, right?"

With that, the two of them changed direction and headed towards the entrance to the underground world.

Xu Gou looked back at Li Wencheng who was still curled up there, and said, "Master, we have found him. Will Beichen be able to find him as well? If Beichen's people find him and kill him, wouldn't that be terrible?"

Shen Lian laughed: "I was just testing you on purpose."

"Test? Test what?" Xu Gou was puzzled.

Shen Lian's eyes flickered, and he said, "Test whether Beichen is hiding in Chang'an City."

"How... to test this?" Xu Gou was a little confused.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "It's very simple. Beichen sent assassins to deal with Li Wencheng, but when the assassins went, they found nothing. And the assassins had no idea where Li Wencheng went."

"So the killer can ask Beichen."

"And with Beichen's ability, he should be able to deduce what I can deduce, so when we see when the killer goes to find those beggars, we can deduce when the killer received Beichen's notice."

"If the killer went to look for those beggars almost at the same time as us, and even came here and found Li Wencheng, then it means that Beichen is in Chang'an City, because only in this way can the killer be informed of the inferred results in the first place!"

"But if the killer went to find the beggar after a few days, it means Beichen is not in Chang'an City."

Upon hearing this, Xu Gou couldn't help but look amazed.

He really didn't expect that just such a thing could be made into something his own young master could talk about.

To infer whether the mysterious North Star is hiding in the city of Chang'an.

This really is... there are traps everywhere!
If you're not careful, you'll step on it.

He felt that he had learned a lot, but when he compared himself with Shen Lian, he realized that what he had learned was just the basics.

Shen Lian looked at Xu Gou's astonished expression, laughed, and continued: "If Beichen is not in Chang'an, then the killer and Beichen can only communicate." "There are two ways to communicate, one is a messenger, and the other is a carrier pigeon."

"We roughly know the speed of the messenger, and we also know the speed of the carrier pigeon, so... at that time, based on the time when the killer takes action, we can roughly infer the distance between Beichen and Chang'an City."

"Then, using this as the center, radiate outwards towards the surroundings of Chang'an City, and see which cities or counties are there based on the distance. In this way... perhaps, we can circle out Beichen's hiding place."

The Dog is no longer able to speak.

In other words, he had nothing to say and didn't know how to express his thoughts.

He’s really not a human being!

My young master is really not a human being!
Who could have thought that a manhunt could actually be used by the young master as an opportunity to track down Beichen's hiding place!
This... this is really not something an ordinary person can think of!

Xu Gou thought that since it was him anyway, if he became the enemy of his young master, he would definitely die without knowing how.

There are really traps everywhere. Now he even doubts whether Beichen, who is said to be very smart, can guess it.

He probably couldn't guess it. After all, this is not the way a normal person can think.

He originally thought that this time the young master would take action just to deal with Li Wencheng, and to trick the killers of Beidou Society at the same time.

But now...

The Dog found out that he had thought too simply.

He had no idea how big his young master's plan was, nor what kind of outcome his young master wanted.

But he knew that when everything was revealed.

It will definitely... shock everyone.

Xu Gou was still in shock when Shen Lian suddenly stopped.

Shen Lian stopped and looked at a gambling house in front of him. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "We're here."

"Gambling house? Is this the entrance to the underworld?" Xu Gou asked puzzledly.

"Well, this is the base camp of the underground world. It's different from other small entrances."

Shen Lian smiled, then walked forward and banged the doors.

"Who is it? Are you in such a hurry to die?"

Soon, there were sounds of cursing coming from the gambling house.

"Open the door, I want to see Mr. Zhang." Shen Lian said.

"Meet Mr. Zhang?"

The tone from inside the door changed a little, and soon there was a creaking sound and the door was opened.

A head popped out from the crack in the door. He glanced at Shen Lian and others, and when he saw the official uniform Shen Lian was wearing, his face suddenly changed and he was about to close the door.

boom!
But at this time, Shen Lian kicked out and knocked the man to the ground.

"I'm obstructing official business. Tie him up."

Shen Lian didn't even look at the man, he walked straight into the gambling house and went inside.

Seeing this, Xu Gou didn't waste any time and directly tied up the boy, threw him aside, then followed Shen Lian inside.

Shen Lian entered the backyard and came to the study. When he saw someone rushing towards him, he kicked the person down without saying a word.

When no one stopped trying to stop us, Shen Lian smiled and said, "Let's go quickly. No one should dare to block our way now."

Shen Lian did not give Xu Gou too much time to recall. The underground world needed to be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Li Wencheng came early and he had not set up the trap yet, it would be troublesome.

I walked the same path as before, entered the secret passage, pushed open the door, and once again came to that underground world with gloomy air.

The underground world of Chang'an is always the same bright.

Because there is no sunlight here, this is where a group of rats live and they can only rely on oil lamps, so the light is very dim.

The moment Shen Lian and Xu Gou stepped in here, more than a dozen eyes were instantly looking at them.

At this time, a burly man stood up.

There was a scar on his face, running from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth. It looked as if his entire face was cut, and he looked somewhat hideous and terrifying.

"Hey, where did this handsome guy come from? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out if you enter here?"

This person walked towards Shen Lian with a sarcastic tone.

Shen Lian glanced at the man and said calmly, "You're new here, right? You're so arrogant that you dare to offend me without even knowing who I am."

When the scarred man heard Shen Lian's words, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

He raised his hand and was about to pat Shen Lian's shoulder, saying, "Boy, you are so arrogant. Looking at you, with your puny arms and legs, you don't look like a martial artist. How dare you speak so arrogantly here? Is it because your family didn't educate you well?"

"Since your parents didn't educate you well, I don't mind educating you."

As he spoke, he slapped Shen Lian's hand, which turned into a hook, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

It was obvious that Shen Lian wanted to be taught a lesson.

If someone was really caught by his claws, considering his sturdy physique, he would probably crush the ordinary person's shoulder.

Shen Lian saw this scene and shook his head slightly.

He sighed: "Why are there always people in this world who are so blind?"

brush!
As soon as the words fell, a cold light suddenly flashed before the man's eyes.

The scarred man was stunned and didn't understand what was happening.

But the next moment, a scream like a pig being slaughtered suddenly sounded.

The scarred man's face turned pale instantly, beads of sweat dripped directly from his forehead. He stared at his right hand with wide eyes, his face full of fear and anger.

He saw his hand that was about to pat Shen Lian's shoulder, but just now, it was cut off by Shen Lian's knife.

At this moment, blood was gushing out of his arm, and the intense pain made his brain go blank.

He never expected that the handsome young man in front of him would be so cruel and attack without saying a word.

"You...you...I'm going to kill you!"

He hissed.

He drew the knife from his waist with his left hand and was about to look at Shen Lian.

And just as he raised the knife, a stinging pain instantly attacked his throat and brain.

His whole body stiffened and he stood still.

I saw that he was holding a knife against his throat.

When the man with the scar saw this scene, he became completely nervous.
