Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Li Qingkui, the Minister of Works?
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly. They were all on the list Li Shimin gave him, and the identities of these two people were also extraordinary.

One is from the Fanyang Lu family, and the other is from the Longxi Li family. Both of them are from aristocratic families.

Especially the Lu family, they have a long-standing feud with me.

Now the two of them blocked me directly, it seemed that... they came with bad intentions!!

Shen Lian's mind was full of thoughts, but there was no strange expression on his face. He just laughed and said, "I wonder what Lord Lu and Lord Li mean? Why do you want to block me here?"

Li Qingkui seemed a little aloof and didn't say much good things.

Lu Xie laughed: "Haha, isn't Lord Shen extremely intelligent? Why don't you guess it?"

"Is there a reward for guessing correctly?" Shen Lian suddenly asked.

"Lord Shen, what reward do you want?"

"How about you kneel down and bark like a dog?" Shen Lian said with a smile.

"..."

Lu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then his whole body began to tremble with anger.

His beard was about to stand up, and he said coldly: "Sir Shen, don't joke with me!"

"I know that my Lu family has hatred towards your Shen family, but that doesn't mean that you and I also have hatred."

Shen Lian waved his hands, not taking it seriously, and said innocently: "Lord Lu, I'm not kidding. If you think this reward is not good, then change it."

Shen Lian looked at the carriage in front of him with a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold: "If I guess right, you can be adopted as my grandson. How about you be called Shen Xie from now on?"

Bang it!
The sound of teacups being smashed was heard from the carriage.

Lu Xie's voice was filled with rage, as if a storm was coming. He shouted, "Shen Lian, don't go too far!"

The smile on Shen Lian's face also disappeared. He sneered and said, "Lu Xie, who went too far? Check your conscience."

"As you said, I, Shen, have a grudge against the Lu family, but not against you. So... I have never offended you, right? But you are here, blocking my way, and saying these words to me, Shen, without even showing your face... What? Do you think I am not qualified to see you?"

"Since you are disrespectful to me, why should I respect you? Respect is mutual. If you don't want it, I am your grandfather or your father. Should I consider you?"

Shen Lian thought to himself, not to mention, you stabbed me in the back and impeached me?

If Li Shimin had not been my designated father-in-law and was on my side, I would have been in trouble if any other emperor had not taken my place.

Damn it, I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you come to trouble me on your own initiative. If I don't make you regret being my enemy today, I won't even be called Shen Lian anymore!

When Lu Xie heard Shen Lian's words, he was so angry that he was fuming.

He rushed out of the carriage all of a sudden and looked at Shen Lian opposite him, his eyes seemed to have flames burning.

"Shen Lian, you...you are looking for death!"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows, then suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Sishe, did you hear that? Lord Lu, the Minister of the Imperial Court, openly threatened a nobleman in the court, and you are the witness!"

"As one of the few nobles in the Tang Dynasty, I currently have the right to hear all cases involving nobles, so..."

He looked at Lu Xie, smiled, and said, "Lord Lu, I am going to arrest you for threatening the Lord and attempting to murder him. Please do not resist, otherwise not only I, but also the Dali Temple will have the right to think that you are resisting arrest. If I accidentally take your life, it can only be blamed on your bad luck."

"What!?"

Lu Xie never expected things to turn out like this. He never expected Shen Lian to seize on his angry words and make a big deal out of it.

And Sishe grinned and said, "Master, don't worry, I can testify for you!"

After that, he drew out the sword from his waist and said to Lu Xie, "Master Lu, please don't resist. If you resist arrest, we have the right to use the sword."

After saying that, Si Snake walked towards Lu Xie.

Several people who looked like guards suddenly rushed in front of Lu Xie, drew their swords, and faced Si Snake directly.

"stop!"

"If you take this one step further, I'll kill you without mercy!"

The guards shouted at Sishe.

Seeing this, the snake narrowed its eyes slowly, like a tiger about to hunt.

He turned and looked at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Back off! I, Shen, am investigating a case. Do you want to rebel? How dare you draw your sword to stop me?"

"Back off now, and I'll forgive you for what happened!"

"Otherwise, if you dare to stop me, you will be treated as treasonous..."

When the guards heard Shen Lian's majestic words, their faces changed.

They seemed to have never expected that protecting their master would turn into treason.

Shen Lian, on the other hand, had no expression on his face, his eyes staring straight at them. His voice was so cold that it made their entire bodies shudder: "As for the crime of treason, according to the law, there shall be no mercy for the death, and all nine generations of the clan shall be exterminated!"

"so……"

Shen Lian's voice suddenly became louder, and his tone exploded in their ears like thunder: "Why don't you retreat!"

Wow--
The next moment, these guards didn't even look at Lu Xie. Under Shen Lian's powerful gaze, they subconsciously lowered their heads, and retreated silently without even daring to fart.

The stunned Lu Xie behind him was exposed to Shen Lian.

The Minister of the Imperial Court, Lu Xie from the Fanyang Lu family, was extremely shocked at this moment. He even couldn't help but feel a little nervous under the expressionless and powerful gaze of Shen Lian.

He never expected that Shen Lian would be so rude to him in public after knowing his identity.

He actually took it so seriously and kept holding on to something I said in anger.

His face was extremely gloomy and ugly. Because Lu Xie came from a noble family and held an important position in the court, he had never been bullied like this. He had never suffered such humiliation, and he could not stand it.

Even though he knew Shen Lian was not someone to be trifled with, he still hadn't anticipated this situation.

Lu Xie looked at Shen Lian coldly, gritted his teeth and growled, "Shen Lian, are you going too far?"

"Excessive?"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and said, "Lord Lu, if you are not blind, then look at the situation in front of you. I am just going out normally, but you two came from the front and the back, blocking me here, Shen, and you are so weird, without even showing your face, as if you saw how much I have brought shame to you."

"So, you say I went too far? Check your conscience and ask it, who went too far?"

Lu Xie said coldly: "I am older than you and can be your father's generation. Why don't you know how to respect your elders?"

"Ah."

Shen Lian was so angry that he laughed: "You can't win the argument by reason, so you use age to suppress others?"

"Lu Xie, you know how old you are, but what's the result? You are so old, but you are not as good as me, a kid who is less than 20 years old, in terms of title. So don't you think you are too old? Don't you feel anxious standing in front of me? Don't you feel inferior?"

"you you……"

Because of his background and status, Lu Xie was always flattered wherever he went, and had never been mocked or ridiculed like this.

This made him tremble with anger. He glared at Shen Lian, raised his finger and pointed at him, saying sternly: "You...you...are uneducated and have no manners! You have been an orphan since you were a child, with no one to raise you or teach you. No wonder you are so vulgar, no wonder you are so--"

Suddenly, before Lu Xie could finish his words, he saw a flash in front of his eyes and a figure appeared directly in front of him.

Shen Lian grabbed the finger that Lu Xie was pointing at him.

Under Lu Xie's panicked gaze, Shen Lian said expressionlessly: "First, didn't your parents tell you not to point your finger at others? This is very uneducated behavior!"

"Second, you can bully me and insult me, but to be honest, I think you are a moron, and I look down on you from the bottom of my heart, so I don't care what you say."

"But you should never, ever insult my parents. Even though they died early, that's not a reason for you to insult them."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Shen Lian's eyes, and he exerted force on his wrist.

Click!

Then there was a cracking sound, and Lu Xie's fingers were broken directly by Shen Lian.

A scream suddenly rang out in this quiet alley.

Lu Xie's eyes widened, his face twisted in pain. He stared at Shen Lian with wide eyes and cursed: "You little beast, how dare you, how dare you--"

boom!
Before Lu Xie could finish his words, Shen Lian kicked Lu Xie away.

With a bang, Lu Xie hit the wall on one side.

Before he fell, he saw a flash in front of his eyes and Shen Lian rushed towards him.

Under Lu Xie's resentful and horrified gaze, Shen Lian kicked out again, directly kicking Lu Xie into the air.

"Knife!"

As Lu Xie was kicked away, Shen Lian shouted directly.

Sishe did not hesitate at all, he drew his sword and threw it towards Shen Lian.

Shen Lian turned his right hand and grabbed the hilt of the knife directly. He looked at Lu Xie falling from the air and took in the anger, resentment, distortion, hatred, and fear in Lu Xie's eyes.

He said indifferently: "Originally I just wanted to teach you a lesson."

"You are being used as a gun, and you don't even know it. You think you are in control of everything, but you don't know that you are just a poor creature being used. So I am too lazy to deal with a fool like you."

"But you should never, ever scold my parents!"

"I'm not a good person, I just have principles, but you violated my principles and stepped on my bottom line. If you want to blame someone... just blame yourself for not being able to control your mouth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lian didn't give Lu Xie any chance to speak, and the sword in his hand flew out directly.

next moment

boom--
The sword pierced Lu Xie's heart directly, instantly nailing him to the wall.

Blood flowed from the wound.

And Lu Xie struggled twice, and then there was no sound.

The whole person was nailed to the wall.

At this moment, the entire alley suddenly became silent.

In an instant, there was an eerie silence.

All of Lu Xie's guards had their eyes wide open at this moment. Each of them had an expression of shock, fear, confusion and helplessness on their faces.

Shen Lian!!!!
Shen Lian killed their master without saying a word!
This this……

What are they going to do?
These guards were completely stunned.

Some people panicked and wanted to turn around and flee. They needed to report what happened here to the Lu family. Otherwise, if Lu Xie died, they, the guards, would be in trouble.

While he was thinking about it, someone was moving stealthily, trying to leave secretly.

"Anyone who dares to leave without my permission will be killed!"

But at this moment, Shen Lian's voice suddenly sounded.

This voice was like a knife pressed directly against their throats, instantly stopping the guards who were about to escape in their tracks.

His face was pale and cold sweat was pouring down his body, but he really didn't dare to move.

"Snake!"

Shen Lian ignored them and looked at Si Snake.

The Snake was startled at this moment and finally reacted.

He thought that his young master just wanted to teach the hateful Lu Xie a lesson, but he didn't expect that the young master would kill Lu Xie directly.

This... young master is too tough!
He hurriedly said, "Sir."

Shen Lian said: "Keep an eye on them and don't let anyone go."

Si Snake nodded quickly and his eyes instantly fixed on the guards.

Shen Lian ignored them.

He raised his head and looked at the wall on one side, then looked away expressionlessly.

He knew that Li Shimin had always sent shadow guards to protect him secretly, so the shadow guards would definitely tell Li Shimin the first time he killed Lu Xie.

After Li Shimin knew the whole story, as long as he still wanted his son-in-law and wanted to achieve his goal of becoming the greatest emperor of all time and gain benefits from the upcoming events when all nations came to pay tribute, he had to find a way to save himself and get himself out of it.

So Shen Lian was not worried about killing Lu Xie.

And even if Li Shimin could not protect him completely, with his abilities, he had a backup plan to ensure his safety.

Mr. Shen is not a reckless person. He was indeed very angry just now, but he is not a foolish person who does not care about the consequences.

Since he dared to kill someone, he must not be afraid of what will happen next!
Letting the Snake control this place now is also to give Li Shimin time.

After making sure that the news would reach Li Shimin as quickly as possible, Shen Lian no longer cared about those guards.

He walked straight towards the rearmost carriage.

Seeing him coming, the guards in the carriage became extremely nervous.

They looked at Shen Lian and felt frightened from the bottom of their hearts.

Whether it was Shen Lian's fierce skills or his murderous intent, they all felt like they were falling into an icy cave and they dared not to stop him.

Walking in front of the carriage, Shen Lian didn't even glance at the guards. He looked at the carriage that had been motionless all the time and said calmly, "Li Kuiqing, if you don't want to be the next Lu Xie, then get off."

As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed as if he was afraid of becoming the second Lu Xie.

As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed as if he was afraid of becoming the second Lu Xie.
