Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

He said, "Xu Gou, you immediately take my token and mobilize the personnel of the Intelligence Department of the Dali Temple to monitor the thirty places."

"Among them, we will focus on monitoring places where pigeons are raised, or places where pigeons frequently fly in and out in the past few days. At the same time, we will also secretly monitor the city gates of various places to see if there are any people with strange whereabouts or unidentified people entering or leaving. Then... pay special attention to the Taoists in these places, and secretly monitor and track them! If there is anything wrong with them, tell me immediately..."

Seeing that his young master looked serious, Xu Gou also realized the importance of the matter.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and called a guard who was secretly protecting Shen Lian, and asked the guard to pass down the order immediately.

The guards were specially dispatched by Li Shimin for protection and supervision.

As for the Dali Temple Intelligence Department, Li Shimin gave Shen Lian the power to appoint all the forces in the Dali Temple.

The intelligence agency created by the Dali Temple is considered to be the most outstanding one in Chang'an City.

There are people arranged in various places, so there is no need for Xu Gou to arrange people. As long as the order is given, the personnel of the Dali Temple Intelligence Department in various places will naturally do it.

After doing all this, Xu Gou couldn't help but say, "Master, could this be what you said yesterday, that based on the time of their actions, you deduced the approximate location of Beichen?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

He smiled and said, "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, Beichen must be hiding in one of these thirty places, seven state capitals, and twenty-three county towns."

"But don't hold your hopes too high. Beichen is so cautious and smart that we won't catch him so easily. But as long as he is hiding there and we find his hiding place, there must be clues there."

"Until then……"

The corners of Shen Lian's mouth slightly raised: "In my eyes, Beichen is no longer so mysterious."

The reason why Shen Lian is helpless against Beichen now is mainly because Beichen does things very carefully and does not leave him any clues.

But now, once Beichen's location is exposed, no matter how fast Beichen escapes, as long as he has lived somewhere, he will inevitably leave some clues.

As long as Shen Lian gets these clues, Beichen... will be in real danger.

Shen Lian took a deep breath and suppressed these thoughts for the time being. Beichen's affairs would depend on the personnel of the Intelligence Department of the Dali Temple. He had more important things to do for the time being.

He looked at Xu Gou and said, "Where did Li Wencheng escape to later? Did our people follow him?"

Xu Gou nodded quickly: "Master, don't worry, the guards are following us secretly, we will definitely not get lost."

"In that case, we should leave too."

Shen Lian quickly washed up, then left his courtyard with Xu Gou.

Xu Gou asked: "Master, where are we going this time?"

Shen Lian raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Li Wencheng escaped death. He knew that Beichen had guessed his plan, so he didn't have time and didn't dare to delay any longer."

"The longer he delays, the greater the chance that Beichen's killer will find him!"

"So he must escape from Chang'an as soon as possible, so that he can leap into the vast ocean. Therefore... now there is only one thing he needs to do..."

Xu Gou's heart was moved, and he hurriedly asked: "Underground world?"

Shen Lian smiled and nodded: "Yes, he must be eager to go to the underground world to seek refuge, and as long as he goes there, how can I, Shen, not treat him well?"

"Finally, the good show that I am leading is about to begin."

Shen Lian and Xu Gou quickly rushed to the underground world.

When they arrived this time, the people in the underground world immediately lowered their heads obediently, and no one dared to look directly at Shen Lian anymore.

Shen Lian glanced at them and sneered in his heart.

Finally facing reality?
Do you really think that you can do whatever you want in this underground world without any scruples?
The aboveground world has its own rules, and the underground world also has its own rules.

In the world above ground, the rules are clear.

In the underground world, the rules are changing all the time. If you want to live well in the underground world, you must know the times and know who is the grandfather and who is the grandson.

When Shen Lian has nothing to do, he will not disrupt the order of the underground world at will. As long as they do not touch the bottom line of the Shen family and just want to survive, he does not care about the impact of these bugs on Chang'an City and will turn a blind eye to them.

After all, if you destroy this underground world, you will give birth to the next underground world.

The underground world is endless, so the government is unwilling to allow an uncontrollable and mysterious new underground world to emerge.

But now that it concerns the Beidou Association, we have to take action!
In fact, this underground world,

At this moment.

Everyone's life and death depends on Shen Lian's thoughts.

With Shen Lian’s current status, he doesn’t even have to do anything himself. He can just say “destroyed” the last round and someone will naturally be responsible for cleaning up the place.

The reason why he came here in a high-profile manner before was to make them realize the cruel reality and let them know that if he didn't come, they would be the kings.

If you come here yourself, you will have to bow your head and act like your grandson.

"Lord Shen, you are here."

At this time, Old Man Zhang came running over with an enthusiastic and coquettish look on his face.

Shen Lian glanced at Old Man Zhang. He knew how cruel and cold-blooded this guy was usually, but now he seemed somewhat harmless.

He nodded slightly.

Old man Zhang said quickly, "Master Shen, if you have any instructions, just ask someone to tell me. How dare I trouble Master Shen to come here in person?"

Shen Lian looked at Old Man Zhang and said with a smile, "Because I, Shen, don't trust you."

Old Man Zhang: “…”

His face suddenly froze, and he was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know how to answer.

But he was still the king of the underground world anyway. He smiled and said, "Look at what Lord Shen said. I am just a servant of Lord Qin. I work for him. If he doesn't trust me, I will be worthless."

When Xu Gou heard what Old Man Zhang said, he couldn't help but look at him in surprise, as if wondering how this guy could be so shameless.

You are not worthy of returning my young master's servant.

Shameless old dog!

Pooh!
Xu Gou was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't know how shocked and shaken the other people in the underground world around him were when they heard what Old Man Zhang said.

In the underground world, Old Man Zhang is a king who has fought his way out of poverty. His hands are stained with countless blood. Who dares to be disrespectful to him?
As a result, such an underground king actually said that he was his father's slave. What are they then?
A servant of a servant?

Not to mention anything else, just these words from Old Man Zhang made them even more nervous and fearful of Shen Lian.

However, Shen Lian ignored what old man Zhang said. It was just polite talk. It would be really stupid to take it seriously.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Old Man Zhang's room.

Shen Lian sat on the main seat and said lazily, "Old Zhang, I have a question for you." Old Zhang nodded and bowed, "Lord Shen, please feel free to ask me anything. I will tell you everything I know."

Shen Lian said, "From the time of Yin Shi today till now, has anyone come to you, or to other people, to seek shelter, or to pay a large sum of money for your protection?"

Old Man Zhang thought for a moment and said, "There really is one, but he was locked up. I didn't bother to talk to him and didn't see him."

"Oh?"

Shen Lian and Xu Gou looked at each other, and Shen Lian asked, "Why?"

Old man Zhang didn't dare to hide anything. He didn't know whether there were any spies of Shen Lian around him, nor did he know how much Shen Lian knew, so he didn't dare to hide anything.

He said: "Nothing, that person just said that she had committed a crime, that the court wanted to arrest him, and that someone wanted to kill him, and then he hoped that we could help him secretly leave Chang'an..."

Having said that, he couldn't help but look at Shen Lian. Seeing that Shen Lian's expression didn't change at all and he didn't look angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking.

"I am under the wise guidance of Lord Shen and the laws of Chang'an City. As everyone knows, Lord Shen hates evil and I am the same! So when I heard that this man was wanted by the court, I knew that he was definitely not a good person!"

"So, I am Lord Shen's subordinate, how could I possibly help such a villain! Even if Lord Shen didn't come today, I would still send him to the government. Maybe I can help Chang'an City get rid of a small scourge."

Shen Lian's eyelids twitched several times as he listened to what Old Man Zhang said.

The Dog also has a lot of anger in his heart, but he doesn’t know how to vent it.

You are the king of a lawless underground family, who has committed countless crimes, and you tell us that you hate evil...

What the hell, do you want to kill us?

The Dog really doesn’t know what expression to show.

Shen Lian was also somewhat confused by this strange plot development.

He was somewhat glad that he arrived quickly, otherwise if Li Wencheng was really sent to him by this old man, then what was the point of setting up the trap!
I really thought of everything, except that I didn't expect Old Zhang to be so flattering...

Pooh!
Do you still have the dignity that a big boss in the underworld should have?
Shen Lian felt helpless.

He looked at the boss who was looking at him hopefully, hoping to be praised, and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

It seems that the blow and impact on Old Zhang yesterday was a bit too great.

Otherwise, Old Man Zhang would never have done this.

Shen Lian said helplessly: "Okay, I already know what you are thinking. Your idea is good and correct..."

Shen Lian first praised Old Man Zhang, and then said, "However, my status is different from yours after all, so unless it is an important matter, you should not make decisions."

"If there are similar incidents in the future, you can send someone to the Shen Mansion and pass on a message to me. If I think they should be arrested, you can arrest them! If they are petty thieves who are not worthy of my action, then you can deal with them as you please."

Old man Zhang nodded quickly.

Now Shen Lian is the grandfather, and whatever Shen Lian says is what goes.

It doesn't make sense but it does make sense.

What's more, Shen Lian had already said that he knew his feelings, and that old man Zhang was satisfied.

Shen Lian took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Go, bring that person over here. I'll go talk to him, and you can just rest on the side."

When Old Man Zhang saw that Shen Lian was actually interested in the beggar, he turned his eyes and said, "Sir Shen, I'm willing to ask, but is there anything special about this person?"

Shen Lian glanced at Old Man Zhang and said calmly, "Do you want me to tell you all the secrets that I, Shen, know? Do you want me to write a report to you in advance for everything I do in the future?"

Old man Zhang's heart trembled and his expression changed slightly.

He knew that Shen Lian was dissatisfied with him.

He quickly said, "It's my fault. I'm not curious anymore."

Shen Lian snorted coldly and gave Xu Gou a look, meaning that he should keep a close eye on Old Man Zhang.

He doesn't want anyone to know about what happened between him and Li Wencheng.

In order to prevent someone from leaking the news.

The Dog understood, nodded slightly, and stared directly at Old Man Zhang.

Not long after, someone came and told Shen Lian that the person had been brought here.

Shen Lian picked up a mask and put it on his face. His whole temperament suddenly changed.

From being gentle and wise, he became cold and even a little eerie, which made people's scalp tingle at the sight of him.

At this moment, Old Man Zhang suddenly felt that he was not worthy of being a villain, and that Shen Lian was the real villain destined to be the villain.

Shen Lian, wearing a mask, looked at Old Man Zhang with cold eyes without a trace of emotion and said, "Tell everyone, no one is allowed to reveal my identity, Shen, otherwise... die!"

"Also, no one is allowed to come near and eavesdrop on me, otherwise..."

Shen Lian looked at Old Man Zhang and said grimly, "I'll wash you with blood."

Old man Zhang trembled all over, he quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry, Lord Shen, I will keep an eye on them personally, no one will come close to here, and no one will reveal your identity."

"get out."

"Yes Yes!"

Old man Zhang left quickly.

Shen Lian nodded to Xu Gou, who nodded slightly, followed Old Man Zhang out, and stood guard at the door.

At this time, Li Wencheng, who was covered in dust and even had footprints on his face, walked into the room.

Li Wencheng's steps were a little unsteady. He didn't know whether it was because he was beaten too badly by those beggars or because he was also dealt with in the underground world.

But these are not important.

"Aren't you Mr. Zhang?"

Li Wencheng saw that the person in front of him was a stranger wearing a mask, and his brows suddenly frowned: "I want to see Mr. Zhang."

Shen Lian said calmly: "The owner here has changed. I am the new owner. Old man Zhang is just a dog under my feet. Are you sure you want to ask him for help?"

"If you are sure, then go ahead, but I'm not sure if he can do it."

Shen Lian deliberately changed his voice. After all, it is always better to be cautious. If he used the original voice, with his fame, Li Wencheng might be able to recognize it at once.
