Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

The butler's pupils twitched twice and his expression became worse.

Shen Lian laughed: "Tell me, do you still want me to eliminate it?"

"I..." The housekeeper opened his mouth, but before he could finish his words, Shen Lian continued, "I think that by now, even the dumbest person would have a way to find out your identity."

"Just send someone to your mansion to take a look. Then... it will be clear who is there and who is not."

Hearing this, Xu Gou hurriedly said, "Master, I'll send someone to check right away."

The housekeeper's eyes widened, and just as he was about to reach out and grab the dog, he saw Shen Lian slightly shaking his head: "No need, I just said that, that is the method used by the dumbest people."

"And I...have an easier way."

He looked at the butler in front of him and said, "I have a question for you. Whether you answer it or not, I know who you are."

Without waiting for the butler's response, Shen Lian stared into the butler's eyes and suddenly asked, "You are Changsun Shunde, right?"

Brush it!
The butler, who had been avoiding Shen Lian's gaze, glared at him fiercely when he heard Shen Lian's words!
The pupils in his eyes twitched many times at this moment!

He stared at Shen Lian blankly, various expressions flickering on his face.

Shock!

Frightened!

anger!
Killing intent!
And so on. Expressions flashed by one after another.

The next moment, he suddenly exhaled, ignoring the shocked expressions of others, and asked Shen Lian: "How do you know that I am not Qin Qiong or Li Jing's?"

The corners of Shen Lian's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a half-smile: "I don't know!"

"But now, I know..."

"what?"

The butler was stunned.

But the next moment, he suddenly understood something. He widened his eyes, looked at Shen Lian angrily, and shouted: "You cheated me!"

Shen Lian laughed: "It's very useful, isn't it? Look, as soon as I said it, you exposed yourself."

As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

Shock!

stunned!

Stunned!!
They were all like the fake butler... or Chang Sun Shunde. They all stared at Shen Lian with wide eyes and were unable to recover for a long time.

However, their expressions were different from Changsun Shunde's.

Chang Sun Shunde felt ashamed and angry because he was fooled by Shen Lian, and even... he was terrified because Shen Lian deduced his identity so easily.

As for the others, they were shocked and stunned by Shen Lian...

Except for Xu Gou and Zhao Xianye, although other officials had heard a lot about Shen Lian's deeds, they had no idea how terrifying Shen Lian was because they had never actually come into contact with him.

Today, I saw with my own eyes how Shen Lian determined the scope of Changsun Shunde based on those tiny details.

Then how did they check that there were only three people left, and then only two people left...

In the end, he just tricked Changsun Shunde and caused him to self-destruct in an instant.

This caused Changsun Shunde's identity to be completely revealed to everyone.

All this shocked them and made them admire from the bottom of their hearts.

They knew they could never do it.

Even from an enemy's perspective, one couldn't help but admire Shen Lian.

too strong!
They can never even dream of such a skill!
No wonder anyone who had worked with Shen Lian would never have animosity with him. Even people of Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji's level had never had any enmity with Shen Lian...

They didn’t understand before and just thought that Shen Lian was capable of handling things.

But now, they understand.

Shen Lian’s wisdom is his greatest strength.

Such powerful wisdom and terrifying intelligence make people... dare not regard Qin Wenyuan as an enemy.

The only way to feel at ease is to treat such people as friends.

If you treat him as an enemy, unless you can kill him with one blow, otherwise... you will feel a chill to the bone, just like Changsun Shunde is feeling now.

Thinking of this, the officials looked at Shen Lian with even more awe.

He felt even more regretful in his heart. What sin had he committed in his previous life that he had to offend Shen Lian in this life?
And when they thought that they were being used by Changsun Shunde and Wang Wenru, the look they gave Changsun Shunde made them even more angry!

The wind blew through the entire hall, causing the windows to sway continuously.

Apart from the sound of the wind and the windows shaking, the silence was eerie.

Shen Lian looked at Changsun Shunde with a smile, while the others looked at Shen Lian with complicated expressions.

Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, Chang Sun Shunde seemed to have finally recovered from the blow of being tricked by Shen Lian.

He stared at Shen Lian with gloomy and sharp eyes, gritting his teeth and said, "Shen Lian, if you didn't know my identity, maybe you could still survive tonight! But now you will definitely die!"

Changsun Shunde stopped pretending.

It’s a direct showdown!
He tore off the human skin mask on his face with one hand.

A familiar, gloomy, thin, and mean-looking face suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

All the officials were still nervous about this face.

But Shen Lian sneered and said calmly: "If you are stupid, don't change the subject."

"I, Shen, just asked you casually, and you exposed yourself. No wonder you are so old, but you still come to this point today, trying to get the skin of a tiger and join the Beidou Society... It seems that you are really stupid."

"What did you say!?"

Chang Sun Shunde's eyebrows were twisted together, and his angry eyes seemed to be on fire.

Shen Lian remained calm in the face of Changsun Shunde's anger.

He said calmly, "Isn't that stupid? Not to mention your performance today, which was full of flaws, it was so easy for me to guess your identity."

"Let's talk about you joining the Beidou Society..."

Shen Lian glanced at Changsun Shunde and said calmly: "As an elder of the Changsun family, you also have the merit of following the emperor. These two combined are enough to make you famous, powerful, and influential."

"But what about you? You don't know how to appreciate the blessings you have. You have such a powerful position that others can never reach in their lifetime, but you still join a rebellious organization like Beidou Society... Why?" Shen Lian squinted at Changsun Shunde and said sarcastically, "Just because you were born better and have better luck, you really think you are destined to be a hero and can stir up the world?"

"You think that the position of a royal relative and a senior official in the court is too unchallenging for you? So you suddenly got fooled by someone and thought that you were destined to control the world and achieve a more glorious life?"

Shen Lian couldn't help laughing as he said, "Chang Sun Shunde, I didn't expect that you are so immature at your age and would still believe such nonsense! So, are you stupid or not?"

"If I, Qin, were to say this, you are stupid, absolutely stupid!!"

When Chang Sun Shunde heard Shen Lian's words, his face suddenly turned blue and purple, the corners of his mouth twitched, and even the expression in his eyes kept changing.

He was both shocked that Shen Lian could see through his thoughts at a glance, and angry that Shen Lian belittled his pursuit as worthless!
this person! !

Why do you not take people seriously at all?!

He said angrily: "What do you know!?"

"You don't understand anything. You are so narrow-minded and you don't understand my grand pursuit at all!"

"I, Shen, sit in a well and look at the sky?"

"hehe."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows, looked at Changsun Shunde, and said, "Then I want to see how you can avoid being a narrow-minded person."

"Changsun Shunde, I know you must have a backup plan. Maybe Beichen will also give you a push from behind... So I, Shen, am now one against two. It may seem disadvantageous, but in my opinion, it doesn't matter at all."

"In other words, I, Shen, am not afraid of the backup plan you and Beichen have prepared!"

He continued to laugh and said, "I, Shen, just want to see how far-sighted you are, how big the world is in your eyes, and what abilities you have... How dare you say that I am narrow-minded."

Chang Sun Shunde was so angry at this time that he immediately exploded when he heard Shen Lian's provocation.

"Okay, okay, okay! Shen Lian, since you want to die, don't blame me."

He stared at Shen Lian with his eyes fixed on him. "You are indeed very smart, smarter than I thought. I really didn't expect... that you could guess my identity, but... even if you guessed it, what does it matter?"

He suddenly opened his hands and sneered, "Even if you know my identity, it won't affect anything. This is the place of death we prepared for you. Just take a good look and see how far we can see beyond your imagination!"

When Xu Gou heard this, he instantly felt a surge of anger in his heart, and at the same time he was also afraid of Chang Sun Shunde's next move.

He quickly rushed to Shen Lian's side, drew out his long sword, and slashed directly at Changsun Shunde.

As soon as Chang Sun Shun stepped on the ground, he immediately stepped back and avoided the attack of the Xu Dog.

Although he is not young anymore, his skills learned on the battlefield are still quite good.

Xu Gou did not chase after him, but stayed beside his young master Shen Lian, staring at Chang Sun Shunde with great vigilance.

Zhao Xianye was not idle at this moment either. He quickly called the yamen runners to guard him and Shen Lian. Everyone was extremely nervous at this moment.

Even the officials cautiously ran to Shen Lian's side at this time.

It’s not that they want to support Shen Lian, but they are very clear about one thing - that is, if they don’t know Sun Shunde’s true identity, it will be fine, and Chang Sun Shunde may not necessarily harm them.

But now, they know Chang Sun Shunde’s biggest secret. If this secret is leaked, Chang Sun Shunde will surely die!

But Chang Sun Shunde would not believe that they could keep their mouths shut. Everyone knows that only the dead can truly keep secrets.

Therefore, once they knew Changsun Shunde's identity, they had only two outcomes tonight.

Changsun Shunde died.

Or, they die!
Therefore, they now have to stand on Shen Lian's side to fight against Changsun Shunde.

Changsun Shunde looked at everyone standing behind Shen Lian. He saw those timid officials also standing firmly beside Shen Lian. His face became even gloomier.

Why does everyone support Shen Lian?
Why do everyone choose to believe Shen Lian first when they encounter danger!

His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he growled through gritted teeth: "Tonight, you...will all die!"

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, the window and door were suddenly kicked open.

Hundreds of men in black suddenly rushed into the hall.

These men in black held swords flashing with cold light and stared at Shen Lian and others with murderous eyes.

Zhao Xianye and the others were all shocked at this moment, their palms were sweating.

The yamen runners Zhao Xianye brought with him were only a dozen or so. He thought it was just an ordinary case in Chang'an, so he didn't think much about it and just took some people with him.

But who knew that the result would be like this!
Now the number of killers completely exceeds theirs.

At this moment, Zhao Xianye couldn't help but feel nervous and worried.

He subconsciously looked at Shen Lian, and saw that even facing the current situation, Shen Lian's expression was as calm as usual, without the slightest bit of tension or worry.

Shen Lian's calmness seemed to be contagious, and immediately gave Zhao Xianye more confidence for no reason.

Yes!

If he were facing such a situation, he might really be doomed.

But Lord Shen is different!
Lord Shen has seen all kinds of storms, so these things are definitely nothing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xianye used his imagination to give himself the courage.

Shen Lian didn't pay any attention to Zhao Xianye and the others. He just glanced at the murderous men in black, raised his eyebrows, and said calmly, "It seems that Beichen lied to me again. He said that I almost destroyed his power in Chang'an. Now it seems that he deliberately deceived me, just to make me, Shen, let down my guard?"

He sneered: "He is really an old fox. Every word he says is the truth. However... I didn't believe him in the first place."

He quickly swept his eyes over the men in black, then looked at Changsun Shunde calmly, and said lazily: "Changsun Shunde, if this is your trump card, then I am really disappointed."

"You don't really think..."

Shen Lian raised his lips: "With just these few men, can you hurt me? You... really underestimate me!"

When Changsun Shunde heard Shen Lian's words, he wanted to see cowardice, tension, and fear on Shen Lian's face.

But the result obviously disappointed him.

Shen Lian was really looking at him with a sarcastic smile.

That look was completely arrogant, as if he was standing here, and as if all this crisis was like air to Shen Lian, without any deterrent effect at all.

This made Changsun Shunde, who always claimed to be the man with destiny, clench his fists.

The whole person was extremely angry!
Shen Lian's contempt for him made him much more angry than Shen Lian revealing his identity and causing trouble for him!
He said with a gloomy face: "Shen Lian, although I don't know where you get the confidence from, facing such a situation, you still dare to say such words shamelessly!"

Shen Lian's contempt for him made him much more angry than Shen Lian revealing his identity and causing trouble for him!
