Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

He took a deep breath and said, "Well, hurry up, drive them away."

"Drive them away? Why do you want to drive them away?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "You said it all, they came for you, and we protected you and helped you leave Chang'an City. We may have dealings with them in the future, so now we have the opportunity to contact them and understand their situation. This is a God-given opportunity, so...how can I let it go?"

Li Wencheng was about to say something, but Shen Lian suddenly said coldly: "Li Wencheng, we only promised to protect you, but we did not promise to be your slaves and obey your orders, so you have no right to stop me from doing anything I want to do."

When Li Wencheng heard Shen Lian's cold and crazy eyes staring at him, he suddenly felt as if ice water was pouring down his head.

He suddenly didn't dare to say a word.

He just felt that the person in front of him was a madman, a madman who dared to do anything.

At this moment, he actually believed it a little... If he really gave enough benefits, the person in front of him would really dare to assassinate Li Shimin!
This is a madman who dares to do anything! !
He swallowed and said, "Well...you can't let them find me."

This was his last act of stubbornness.

Shen Lian laughed: "That's natural."

He pointed to the door behind him and said, "There is a bedroom at the back. You can hide in there. Of course... I allow you to eavesdrop so that you don't think I will betray you."

Li Wencheng quickly shook his head: "I believe you."

Of course, he said he believed it, but once he entered the bedroom and closed the door, he pressed his whole body against the door, listening to the noise outside.

Believe? How can I believe?

I'm not stupid.

Shen Lian knew what Li Wencheng would do without having to guess, and he didn't care.

This is just an important part of my plan.

Shen Lian looked at Xu Gou and said, "Let them in."

Not long after, five men walked in.

These five men were all rather burly, with sharp eyes and a strong murderous aura. If ordinary people met them, they would definitely get nervous and subconsciously step aside.

You can tell at a glance that these people have blood on their hands.

The leader was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. He looked at Shen Lian and said directly: "Are you the owner of this place?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly: "What do you think?"

The man stared at Shen Lian with sharp eyes and said coldly: "Take off the mask. You are hiding here. No one here is clean. What do you have to hide?"

Shen Lian tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He looked at the man in front of him with a gloomy tone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you are here to do business, then cut the crap and just state your purpose and offer price. If you are not here to do business, then get out of here as soon as possible. You have come to the wrong place if you come here to yell and make trouble."

"you!"

When this person heard Shen Lian's impolite words, his face suddenly turned cold.

You can tell at a glance that he has a bad temper. If something doesn't go his way, he'll explode immediately.

He raised his hand, pointed at Shen Lian's head, and said disdainfully: "I came here to give you face. Do you really think we would look down on those who dare to act like cowards here?"

"While I was out killing people, you were playing in the mud!"

When the other four heard this man's impolite words, they all sneered and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Even bad guys have a chain of contempt!
Killers look down on robbers, and robbers look down on thieves.

These people are the elites among the killers, backed by the mysterious organization Tiandi Pavilion. Naturally, they look down on these bugs who dare not even confront the government and can only survive in the shadows underground.

Shen Lian looked at the man pointing at him, and a violent look suddenly appeared in his eyes. Suddenly, he shouted: "You are looking for death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lian picked up the big knife on the table and swung it towards the killer in front of him.

The killer seemed to have anticipated that Shen Lian would take action.

A look of disdain appeared on his face, and he quickly took out his weapon and was about to block it.

But who knew that just when his weapon was about to touch Shen Lian's broadsword, Shen Lian's eyes flashed, and his wrist shook, and the broadsword directly avoided the killer's weapon.

puff--
The next moment, the killer only had time to see a flash of cold light before his eyes and felt some pain in his throat.

Then, his eyes went dark and he collapsed to the ground, with blood gushing out from the wound in his throat.

The smell of blood filled the air.

The four men were all stunned. They looked at the killer lying in a pool of blood in a daze and did not react for a long time.

No one had expected that with just one move, the person with the best kung fu among them would actually... be killed.

He died after one encounter!
This……

They all raised their heads suddenly, took out their weapons at the same time, and looked at the masked man in front of them with vigilance.

Everyone's face was filled with shock and vigilance.

They never imagined that this bug from the underground world that they looked down upon actually had such terrifying power.

Shen Lian's eyes were red, filled with madness and brutality. He looked at these people and said in a cold voice, "I fought my way to this position!"

"When it comes to killing people, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"This underground world has always existed under Chang'an. Do you really think we are all a bunch of trash?"

"Countless people come to us to do business, naturally they trust us, because they know... in Chang'an, there is nothing we can't do!"

"On earth, the imperial court is king!"

"In the underground, I am the emperor!"

"So, you dare to come here to cause trouble, you are really blind!"

Shen Lian slammed the table and shouted, "Come here, kill them! Let them know what will happen if they put up with our underground world!"

Xu Gou had already asked Old Man Zhang and his men to wait outside. When he heard Shen Lian's words, he would not hesitate at all.

He immediately led a group of people and rushed over to kill us.

These killers are indeed very powerful. If it were just the underground world, they would have to be killed with piles of human lives.

But now, with the support of Xu Gou, one of the Twelve Shadow Assassins, and the insidious sneak attacks from Old Man Zhang and his men, how difficult could it be to deal with them?
So it didn't take long before these killers were killed one after another.

Finally, there was only one person left, with one breath left.

"Dare to disrespect our master, go to hell!"

Old man Zhang shouted loudly, showing his loyalty in front of Shen Lian, and then he was about to kill this last killer.

Old man Zhang shouted, showing great loyalty in front of Shen Lian, and then he was about to kill this last killer.
"Wait a moment." At this time, Shen Lian's voice suddenly rang out. Old man Zhang immediately stopped what he was doing.

He quickly apologized with a smile: "Master, do you need to know him personally?"

Shen Lian said calmly: "Leave him alive and throw him and the bodies of those people out. I know there must be other people behind them. Leaving him alive is so that he can go and tell the people behind them."

The killer looked at Shen Lian in horror.

Shen Lian said coldly: "Tell the people behind you that there is no one in Chang'an who dares not to respect our underground world. This time is just a small punishment. If it happens again, we don't mind destroying all of you."

When Old Man Zhang and other people in the underground world heard Shen Lian's domineering words, they all straightened their backs and showed proud expressions on everyone's faces, as if they were completely honored.

It seems that the underground world is really that powerful and domineering.

This made Xu Gou a little confused. If the killer didn't know, could it be that those people in the underground world had forgotten?

The person in front of you is not your master. He is a member of the imperial court and a lord. He just threatened you and is your biggest enemy!
What's the matter with you being so proud?

He couldn't complain anymore.

Shen Lian ignored these people and continued, "Also, we don't know who Li Wencheng you are looking for is, nor do we know where he is... If you have behaved well before, then we don't mind taking on this task and helping you investigate!"

"but now……"

Shen Lian raised his hand and pointed outside, shouting, "Get out!"

"Don't let me see you again, otherwise, I will go to the underworld and kill you if I see you!"

"throw it out!"

Old man Zhang quickly waved his hands and asked his men to carry out the corpses and the killer who was still breathing.

Xu Gou frowned slightly and whispered, "Shao Ze, are you going to let him go just like that?"

Shen Lian raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "If we don't let him go, how can we let the mastermind behind them know what happened here? How can we let him guess that Li Wencheng is in our hands? If they don't know, how can we lure them into a trap?"

Xu Gou was stunned: "How do they know that Li Wencheng is with us? The young master clearly said that he didn't know the whereabouts of Li Wencheng!"

Shen Lian shook his head helplessly.

He said, "Xiao Gou, haven't you heard a proverb?"

"what?"

"There is no three hundred taels of silver here!"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "Smart people will be able to infer from my words that I, Shen, am trying to cover up something... and this time I am waiting for smart people!"

…………

Soon, everyone in the room was driven out by Qin Zulai.

Shen Lian smiled, turned around and walked to the bedroom door, suddenly opened it, and a figure rushed over. Li Wencheng, who was leaning against the door, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He quickly demonstrated his strong balance ability, so he didn't fall flat on his face.

But even if he didn't fall, Li Wencheng couldn't help but blush under Shen Lian's half-smile gaze.

He coughed and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Thank you for your help. Now I completely believe in your integrity."

Shen Lian snorted and laughed: "My underground world has been able to stand tall in Chang'an for so many years. What do you think it relies on? It's the word integrity. Otherwise, who would dare to come to us to do business?"

Li Wencheng nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I was shortsighted before."

Shen Lian snorted coldly: "Don't rush to get close to us. We haven't seen your deposit yet. Let's wait until we are sure that the deed you gave us is real."

Not long after he finished speaking, Xu Gou came in and said, "Master, they have returned. After confirmation, the deed is valid. We asked the broker and it is worth more than 1,300 taels. It is not a big problem."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lian's originally cold attitude suddenly became 180 degrees warmer.

He stood up quickly, pushed the stool over, and said, "Master Li, look at you, why are you still standing? Sit down quickly. Hey, what are you doing standing there? Why don't you serve tea to Master Li? This is our distinguished guest, we must treat him well."

Li Wencheng, who was suddenly treated warmly, said: "..."

Li Wencheng was almost frightened by Shen Lian's energy and concentration.

It was only a moment, but the feeling he got was two completely extremes.

At this time, he was completely certain that the master of the underground world before him was really an extremely realistic and money-loving person.

Once he was sure that he was really rich, he immediately became so enthusiastic.

He was very sure that if he found out that he had deceived them, he would probably be a corpse now.
Cold, cruel, realistic, and money-loving...

But surprisingly, this kind of Shen Lian made Li Wencheng feel extremely at ease.

The more Shen Lian showed his greed for money, the more Li Wencheng felt at ease.

And at this moment, the corners of Shen Lian's mouth beneath the mask also slightly curled up.

After several consolidations, his image has been completely established in Li Wencheng's mind. He believes that even if someone comes out and says that he has a problem, Li Wencheng will not believe it.

He has complete trust in himself.

Then, it’s time to face up to the layout and dig holes on both sides. Li Wencheng and Tiandi Pavilion, dig holes together!
"What should we do next?" Li Wencheng asked, "Are you going to take me away right away?"

Shen Lian said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Li. Since my underground world has accepted this business, I will definitely find a way to help you complete it."

"But you know the current situation. The court is looking for you, and secretly, there are these injured people who want to deal with you. Although I just shocked those killers, they may not give up. So I still need to make some preparations. But I promise that within three days, I will make you leave Chang'an City. How do you think?"

Li Wencheng was very anxious, but he also knew that this matter could not be rushed. The more serious the underground world was and the more thorough the preparations were, the safer he would be.

So he nodded slightly and said, "I'll listen to everything..."

He was suddenly stunned for a moment. He realized that he didn't even know the name of the person in front of him. He said, "How should I call you?"

Shen Lian thought for a moment and said calmly: "Many people like to call me a devil, you can call me that too."

Li Wencheng's heart suddenly shuddered.

How could he not know what the word "devil" means?

There are also many people who call Shen Lian a devil, which means that the master of the underworld before them may be even more terrifying than they imagined.

Suddenly, he became even more in awe of Shen Lian.

…………

Suddenly, he became even more in awe of Shen Lian.
