Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Li Kuiqing, who had been so aloof, indifferent and taciturn just now, jumped down in a hurry.

His face was pale, beads of sweat covered his forehead, and one could tell from his entire body that he was terrified from the bottom of his heart.

He did not dare to look directly into Shen Lian's eyes, and quickly bowed to Shen Lian respectfully: "This subordinate greets Lord Shen."

Shen Lian glanced at Li Kuiqing and snorted coldly, "You are shameless and you have to challenge my bottom line. Li Kuiqing, I don't want my hands to be stained with your stupid blood, so be smart next time, answer what I ask you, don't make yourself uncomfortable, understand?"

Li Kuiqing didn't dare to say no.

He nodded quickly, bowed and said, "Lord Shen, please ask me, I will tell you everything I know."

snort!
They are all cheap bastards!
Laughter and nice words, don't listen.

Pretending to be cool, what the hell!

Now I'm scared to death, bah!

WTF!

Shen Lian glanced at Li Kuiqing with an unfriendly expression. Seeing that Li Kuiqing was quite smart, after seeing what happened to Lu Xie, he did not continue to pretend to be aloof and snorted coldly.

They are all low-class people who must be disciplined.

"Tell me, why are you stopping me here?"

Li Kuiqing was about to speak when Shen Lian continued, "Don't fool me, and don't have any intention of hiding or deceiving me. You know my ability. If you think you can deceive my eyes, then try it."

"It would be fine if I couldn't find it, but if I found it..."

Shen Lian sneered: "If Lu Xie can kill, I can kill you too!"

Li Kuiqing's whole body trembled. He swallowed his saliva and said hurriedly, "Master Shen, please rest assured. I... I will never dare to hide anything."

Shen Lian's intelligence is recognized by all officials.

After all, they had seen everything Shen Lian had done over the past two months. Compared to the ignorant common people, these officials knew more inside information, and every one of them knew very well how terrifying Shen Lian's mind was.

So in front of Shen Lian, at least Li Kuiqing didn't dare to play any tricks.

"Then why are you still wasting time? Hurry up and say it?" Shen Lian said unhappily.

Li Kuiqing said hurriedly: "Your Highness, we are waiting here for Lord Shen, mainly... that is, we hope to persuade Lord Shen about something."

"advise?"

Shen Lian sneered, "Stop saying nice things. I don't think persuasion is appropriate. Threatening is more appropriate, right?"

Li Kuiqing couldn't help swallowing when he saw that Shen Lian saw through his thoughts at a glance.

He hurriedly said, "Yes...it's a threat. If Lord Shen disagrees, then, then threaten Lord Shen."

"Humph!"

Shen Lian snorted coldly: "What exactly is going on? Do I need you two to intercept me and act like this?"

Li Kuiqing did not dare to hide it and said, "Yes... Lord Shen's power is a little too high. If he was in charge of the Dali Temple temporarily, it would be fine, but now, with His Majesty turning a blind eye to you, Lord Shen's power is a little too high."

"These rights will affect the interests of some people and will cause the originally balanced party struggle to tilt."

"so……"

He looked at Shen Lian nervously and said, "So... we hope that Lord Shen can take the initiative to share some of his power. It would be best if he could share his power, and then... we can nominate an official to take over. That would be perfect."

Li Kuiqing was afraid that Shen Lian would be angry and take his anger out on him, so he quickly said, "But we are just here to give you some advice. We don't really want to hurt Lord Shen! I swear."

Shen Lian simply ignored the oath that Li Kuiqing made later in his speech.

This idea, believing in other people's oaths, is like complaining that the grass on the grave is not tall enough.

However, Li Kuiqing's words made Shen Lian suddenly understand something.

Li Shimin had reminded himself before that there were suddenly more memorials impeaching him.

Originally Shen Lian was a little confused and didn't understand why this happened.

Even though the memorials impeaching him as Li Shimin had said before had never stopped, there were only a few of them before, but now there were over a hundred at once, which was a completely different order of magnitude.

So there must be something wrong here.

He didn't understand before, but now he understands.

After the locust plague, his terrifying strength was fully demonstrated, making some people feel threatened.

Moreover, after learning about the Beidou Society incident, Li Shimin learned from his mistakes and wanted to prevent similar incidents from happening again, so he directly reformed the Dali Temple, raising its authority by a level.

This caused a huge change in the court power that had been stable for a long time.

In the past, only the Chief Minister Zhangsun Wuji and Prime Minister Fang Xuanling had a higher status than other officials.

But after several years of power changes, a balance has now been reached.

But after Li Shimin's reform of the Dali Temple, the status of the Dali Temple was once elevated, and now it is still in charge of it by a man named Shen!

Besides.

As their apparent influence grew, most officials began to focus on themselves.

perhaps……

Countless spies have secretly inquired about the Shen Mansion, so... it is inevitable that they will see their own wife, the missing Princess Changle!

In the past, if someone said Princess Changle was missing, everyone would believe it.

But now, Shen is so famous, it is impossible for Li Shimin not to know his family situation!
So... knowing the truth, why did they let Princess Changle hide her identity and live in the Shen Mansion? It's a bit hard to understand the meaning of this.

It always makes people think of some conspiracy.

Li Shimin's biggest enemies were the Five Surnames and Seven Families. It was no wonder that they were afraid and even took action.

When Shen Lian thought of this, his eyes changed slightly.

Such statistics.

The power in his hands directly allowed him to reach the same level as Fang Xuanling and others, which was equivalent to parachuting in a leader.

In addition, I am not the kind of leader who only does things for free, so some officials feel unbalanced and worried, so they want to get rid of me.

This has nothing to do with the people who were offended by solving the case.

More importantly, it is a game of power in the court.

No wonder there are hundreds of impeachment memorials all of a sudden. It’s because some political parties have taken action. Wouldn’t the number of people increase dramatically?

So, are Lu Xie and Li Kuiqing considered their vanguard officers?

After thinking this through, Shen Lian couldn't help but curse inwardly, these guys are all idiots.

I have been very obvious all along, right?
I have no interest in court struggles.

I am only interested in the case and those Beidou Society thieves.

Therefore, no matter how powerful I am, I will not have any influence on those party forces. As long as they do not do evil things and do not offend me, I will not bother to get involved.

As a result, damn, this bunch of country bumpkins, I don’t know what’s in their heads, they come to cause trouble for me without saying a word.

Shen Lian was unhappy about this.

If it was related to the cases he had solved before and the people he had offended, Shen Lian would not say anything. After all, he had chosen this path and had already made some realization.

But damn, that’s not the case this time.

I really was the one being shot.

The title was given by Li Shimin.

The power was also given by Li Shimin, who did not discuss it with me before promoting me.

So why bother yourself? Why not go find Li Shimin?

a bunch of idiots!
Shen Lian really couldn't help but want to curse them to death. He had seen stupid people, but he had never seen people as stupid as this. This kind of stupid party would be wiped out sooner or later.

He looked at Li Kuiqing in front of him with a very unfriendly expression, which made Li Kuiqing feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to run away as soon as possible.

"Tell us who is in your party." Shen Lian spoke directly.

Li Kuiqing was shocked when he heard Shen Lian's words.

"Master Shen, you...you, what are you going to do?" Li Kuiqing asked.

Snapped!
A slap was given directly in the face.

I feel very bad for being the one being blamed.

Shen Lian had never suffered such humiliation!

"Stop talking nonsense! Just tell me what I ask you. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll take you to Lu Xie's side!" Shen Lian said.

Li Kuiqing didn't dare to ask any more questions. He didn't dare to hide anything and quickly said out more than a dozen names.

These are considered the core members of their party.

Shen Lian wrote down the names one by one, then checked them against the list Li Shimin gave him, and surprisingly, they were all there.

"Is that all?" Shen Lian asked.

Li Shimin gave him hundreds of names.

But Li Kuiqing only mentioned less than twenty people, which is far from enough.

Li Kuiqing did not dare to hide it: "This is all about our party. If you don't believe it, you can...you can go and ask about it. This is not a secret."

Shen Lian looked at Li Kuiqing deeply, then nodded slightly.

He could see that Li Kuiqing was almost scared to death and indeed did not dare to lie.

But there are less than twenty people, which means that there are more than one party that wants to deal with him.

He wasn't too surprised.

After all, there are many factions in the court. As far as he knows, there are more than a dozen of them, but he doesn't care much about them.

If you look closely, there are probably dozens of them.

Every prince belongs to a faction.

Then there are the aristocratic families and the civilian factions.

Factions in various regions.

Factions in various interest circles.

There are too many, and some officials have intersections with many factions.

And precisely because of the complexity of factions, the number of members in each faction is not too large. Except for the major factions, other factions are not very influential.

Li Kuiqing and his faction were relatively good. Although their numbers were not too large, their status was not low, so they were ranked among the top ten factions in the court.

Shen Lian thought about it, and thought, if he killed all those hundred people, some departments of the court would probably be wiped out, and the court would shut down.

Somewhat inappropriate.

If that's the case, then Li Kuiqing and his faction are unlucky.

To give Li Shimin some face and allow the Tang Dynasty court to continue functioning, so... let's kill the chicken to scare the monkey first.

Look at the effect.

The main thing is that the effect is good. Those guys just hide their heads like turtles and no longer bother me. So I write down their names in my little notebook and deal with them when I have the chance in the future.

If there are still people who don't know what's good for them, then Shen Lian doesn't mind using his brain to make sure they die without knowing how.

Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed.

Looking at Li Kuiqing, he smiled as if he was looking at a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.

"Lord Shen, you...what are you laughing at?"

Li Kuiqing looked at Shen Lian's smile and shuddered subconsciously, his heart tightening for no reason.

Shen Lian laughed and said, "Nothing, I just think you are good people!"

"A good man?" Li Kuiqing said.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Yes, you are really good people. You have sacrificed yourselves to let other parties know that I am not easy to mess with. You have tested the depth of the water for them. You say...you are so selfless, aren't you really good people?"

When Li Kuiqing heard this, his hands and feet suddenly felt cold.

His face changed suddenly and he wanted to beg for mercy from Shen Lian.

But Shen Lian didn't even bother to look at him. He waved his hand and said, "Sir Li, I suspect you are trying to murder the court noble Lord Ding and assassinate me here, so I need to take you back to the Dali Temple for investigation. I hope you don't resist. Otherwise, I think you are resisting arrest. In the chaos, if you are hurt, it will not be a good thing, don't you think?"

Li Kuiqing, who originally wanted to struggle, suddenly turned pale because of Shen Lian's words.

I really didn't dare to move anymore.

Shen Lian sneered, waved his hand disdainfully, and said: "Take him away!"

The snake immediately grabbed Li Kuiqing.

Shen Lian raised his head, glanced at the still blue sky, and sighed: "Isn't it good to live a good life? Why do you have to cause trouble..."

"I don't know how Your Majesty has resolved the matter here. If it doesn't work, please get out of the way and let me do it myself..."

"Today's matter, haha, has just begun."

Swipe!

At this moment, two figures suddenly fell from the top of the wall and stopped right in front of Qin Zulai.

Shen Lian withdrew his gaze from the air and saw that the two figures that had just appeared were the shadow guards.

They are not the shadow guards of the Intelligence Department, but the secret guard organization directly led by Li Er.

The two shadow guards bowed to Shen Lian one after another: "Lord Shen,

Shen Lian nodded slightly and said calmly: "What does your majesty say?"

The two shadow guards couldn't help but feel shocked when they heard Shen Lian's words.

How did Shen Lian know that they came with a divine mission?
How come he knows everything?

The two shadow guards were surprised, but without any hesitation, they said, "Replying to Lord Shen, His Majesty told Lord Shen not to worry, His Majesty will take care of the things here, Lord Shen just needs to do his own thing and don't worry about the things here."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

There was no trace of surprise on his face.

The two shadow guards felt as if Shen Lian had expected this.

……

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

There was no trace of surprise on his face.

The two shadow guards felt as if Shen Lian had expected this.
