Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

"If it happened once or twice, it would be fine, but three or four times, it's enough to make people suspicious."

"It's just that the generals in your Ministry of War are too inattentive and not sharp, so they didn't notice it... But unfortunately, when we were dealing with the food and salary case before, I, Shen, also happened to... comb through the Ministry of War. My purpose at the time was to find the possible murderer, or the spy who was colluding with the Beidou Society..."

"But who would have known that, at that time, in addition to finding Tianquan and the others, I also discovered Zheng Qiang's problem."

"Why don't I know? Why have I never heard of it?" Changsun Shunde couldn't help but ask.

Shen Lian smiled faintly: "Why should I let you know? And what qualifications do you have to know what I'm thinking?"

"Don't even mention you. Even Li Jing and the others don't know this... Zheng Qiang's case has nothing to do with the grain and salary case at the time, so I didn't mention it to anyone. I just ordered people to secretly keep an eye on him to see if there would be any surprises."

"And the result..."

The corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Is it surprising enough to catch a big fish like you?"

When Chang Sun Shunde heard what Shen Lian said, he knew that Shen Lian had been paying attention to Zheng Qiang a long time ago, and had been paying attention to him through Zheng Qiang...

But he was completely clueless, thinking he had hidden it from everyone, and was still smug, thinking Shen Lian was just like him...

When I thought of this, I thought that Shen Lian might be sneering at me from behind like a monkey, making funny gestures there.

He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"You...you...so, Zheng Qiang, he, he..."

Shen Lian smiled lightly and said, "That's right, you can't wait for him. When he rashly and secretly mobilized some of his trusted soldiers tonight, he was already under control."

"So, even if you scream your throat out, he won't come to save you."

The words fell.

Chang Sun Shunde's back was instantly covered in cold sweat.

He subconsciously raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Shen Lian with horror, and said, "Then you, then you...did you know that I was here a long time ago?"

When everyone heard this, they were suddenly moved and looked at Shen Lian quickly.

Could it be that Lord Shen...didn't he know Changsun Shunde's identity just through the diagnosis?

But you already knew it! ?

They were all shocked.

Shen Lian laughed and said, "Don't treat me as a god. Before this, you didn't do anything and didn't expose any problems, so I just asked people to keep an eye on you and didn't pay too much attention to you."

"Besides, you left the mansion secretly to avoid being seen, so I didn't know you were here beforehand."

"I just deduced your identity, and it was only after I really saw you that I discovered your true identity."

"certainly……"

Before Changsun Shunde could say anything, Shen Lian continued, "The moment I saw you, I realized your identity, so I knew your identity earlier than when I revealed it."

"If that's the case, why didn't you expose me from the beginning?" Chang Sun Shunde looked puzzled.

If Shen Lian had exposed him from the beginning, Shen Lian would not have to solve any case and would not have been framed.

Hearing this, Shen Lian glanced at Changsun Shunde, raised his lips slightly, and said meaningfully: "What's the point of exposing you? You can't do any harm to me, Shen."

"And I also know that this is Beichen's plan to take revenge on me, so... this is a rare opportunity to track him down..."

"How can I give up?"

"If I expose you later, he will discover my intentions later. The later I expose everything, the later he will know my purpose."

The words fell,

Brush it!
Chang Sun Shunde's eyes widened suddenly. He looked at Shen Lian in horror and said, "So, you, you..."

Shen Lian smiled deeply: "That's right, you are just a chess piece, a chess piece I use to delay the game."

"My real target tonight...is Beichen!"

The wind howled.

As the cold wind passed by Changsun Shunde, he felt his whole body turned cold. His hands and feet were cold, and his face was pale and full of fear.

He knew that this bone-chilling cold was not caused by the night wind.

It was all because of the young, hopelessly smart devil in front of him!
"Devil...you, you really are a devil!"

At this moment, Chang Sun Shunde deeply understood why those who had been dealt with by Shen Lian before would, in the end... tremblingly call Shen Lian a devil!

It was indeed Shen Lian, so terrifying!

He thought that in this world, as long as he had power, influence, fame, prestige, and military force... he could look down on everyone!

But now - he realized that he was wrong!

Power, influence, fame, prestige, military strength... none of them can compare to brains, none of them can compare to cleverness, none of them can compare to wisdom!
Because you have brains and wisdom, you will have these things sooner or later, even if you don’t have them now!
But wisdom is not something that everyone can possess.

Especially when Shen Lian had such terrifying wisdom, he controlled himself in the palm of his hand, but he had no idea at all and still thought he was in control of everything...

However, they didn't know that Shen Lian's real purpose was not here at all.

Shen Lian probably didn't even use 10% of his energy on himself.

Perhaps to Shen Lian, I am only as important as his little finger.

But I had no idea that I was so proud and arrogant in front of Shen Lian. Now when I think back...

Chang Sun Shunde only felt severe pain in his face.

His face was so irritable!

He had lived for more than seventy years and had experienced everything, but today, he felt ashamed to death.

He was so ashamed in front of Shen Lian, a young man who was less than 20 years old, that he felt he was not worthy to stand with Shen Lian.

Thinking of this, Changsun Shunde's face became even uglier, and his heart became more complicated and fearful.

Not to mention Changsun Shunde, even Zhao Xianye and the others were stunned at this moment.

They had never expected that the thrilling and exciting things they experienced tonight, which made them feel like a roller coaster, were all just something Shen Lian did to cover up his tracks...

Surprisingly, Shen Lian was just playing around to cover up his real purpose.

Others were just playing around, but I almost died...

At this moment, these officials looked at Shen Lian with even more fear.

They deeply regretted it.

They really didn't know how they had been so obsessed that they actually thought Shen Lian was easy to bully and wanted to snatch power from Shen Lian...

Now that I think about it, I really didn’t know my place and was really looking for death!
The wind blew the candlelight, and the light flickered. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
And at this moment, under the flickering firelight, suddenly, dozens of crossbow arrows flew in from the window.

Everyone was immersed in the shock brought by Shen Lian, so they never expected that someone would suddenly take action at this time.

By the time the men in black reacted, it was too late.

The next moment, those special crossbow arrows pierced directly into the bodies of the men in black. In the blink of an eye, screams rang out.

Bang! Bang!
At this moment, the tiles on the roof suddenly broke, and several figures rushed over, taking advantage of the confusion of the men in black to kill them directly.

At this time, with the help of candlelight, everyone discovered that the people rushing over were all wearing official uniforms of the Dali Temple.

But unlike ordinary yamen runners, his official uniform has a special pattern - flying fish!

This was an official uniform that the Dali Temple had never had before.

And this is indeed the official uniform of the Dali Temple. It has never been seen before. It is a brand new official uniform... Thinking of this, everyone's heart couldn't help but be moved.

Chang Sun Shunde also looked at Shen Lian with his pupils shrinking sharply.

Shen Lian said calmly: "Your Majesty has granted special permission for this to be the Intelligence Department of the Dali Temple, which was merged from the Shadow Guard Intelligence Department. These people were all Shadow Guards before, and now... they are all my subordinates."

really!

It really was the newest department of the Dali Temple, a department that was only under the charge of Shen Lian, a department that everyone coveted and feared - the Intelligence Department!
The Intelligence Department was formerly known as the Shadow Guard!
There is no way these officials didn't know who the Shadow Guards were, so they knew too well how terrifying the Shadow Guards were!

Every aspect is absolutely first-class!
At this time, these former shadow guards, now the personnel of the Intelligence Department of the Dali Temple, rushed over. The men in black had no power to resist at all. In addition, the sneak attack with the arrows before made it so that there were no accidents at all. In just a dozen breaths, all the men in black were killed, and no one survived.

Finally, on the opposite side... Changsun Shunde was the only one left!

He stood in front of a pile of corpses. A gust of wind blew, causing his entire body to tremble. One could not help but feel that he must be lonely and pitiful!
It's really pitiful!
A dozen breaths ago, he was still complacent and thought he could kill everyone tonight.

As a result, after a dozen breaths, he was the only one left...

All alone and helpless!
It’s really miserable!
In addition, Shen Lian deduced his identity, and the secret of his self-explosion, and the cruel fact that Shen Lian didn't care about him at all...

Chang Sun Shunde suddenly felt so miserable and sad!
Suddenly, turbid tears slid down the face of this old man in his seventies.

He was so hit hard by Shen Lian that he actually started crying.

She was crying like a seventy-year-old fool.

The next moment, Changsun Shunde's legs went limp and he sat down on the ground.

At this moment, his face was filled with despair, and there was no trace of his previous complacency and arrogance.

Shen Lian glanced at Changsun Shunde and ignored her.

To Shen Lian, Changsun Shunde really meant nothing. If it weren't for the plot against Beichen, this farce wouldn't have had a chance to happen.

"Lord Zhao." Shen Lian said calmly.

Zhao Xianye hurried over and said, "Lord Shen."

"You have heard all of this, so I don't need to tell you how to deal with Changsun Shunde, right?" Shen Lian said.

Zhao Xianye nodded hurriedly: "Master Shen, please rest assured. Changsun Shunde has committed many crimes. I will definitely seriously investigate this case and will not let him go."

Shen Lian nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then suggested, "Go and tell Lord Changsun in advance."

Zhao Xianye was stunned, but soon understood what Shen Lian meant.

Shen Lian asked him to solve the case, but not to offend the Changsun family. After all, the Changsun family was a powerful force only weaker than the seven clans and five surnames, and was not something that Zhao Xianye could afford to offend.

Tell Changsun Wuji in advance. No matter what the future holds, the Changsun family will not blame him. They will even be grateful to him for informing them in advance so that the Changsun family can be prepared.

In this way, it can be considered a good relationship.

A bad thing has become a good thing!

And with such a good relationship, and Changsun Wuji being in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, perhaps he would be able to take advantage of this plan and gain unlimited benefits in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xianye was extremely grateful to Shen Lian. Lord Shen really had no bad intentions towards him.

He sniffed and said, "I will never forget Lord Shen's kindness!"

Shen Lian waved his hand, his expression still calm: "Go ahead and do it. This will be a great achievement for you."

"Yes!"

Zhao Xianye trotted over to take Changsun Shunde away.

As for Shen Lian, his expression did not change at all, as if he had just thrown away a free item.

For him, with his current status, it would be difficult to get promoted unless he captured Beichen. After all, his status was already quite high. Changsun Wuji and others had not been able to make any progress for so many years, which showed how difficult it was for them to move up in status.

Therefore, it would be better to give this insignificant merit to Zhao Xianye. This merit was nothing to Shen Lian, but to Zhao Xianye, it was an extremely rare merit.

When Zhao Xianye gets promoted, he will definitely remember my kindness.

This is equivalent to enhancing one's own power from the side.

So Shen Lian had nothing to be reluctant about. After all, everyone knew that Zhao Xianye was tied to him.

At this moment, Shen Lian had a calm expression and did not seem to be wasting money at all.

But those officials all saw it. Seeing such a great achievement being thrown to Zhao Xianye by Shen Lian, they couldn't help but feel sad!

envy!

envy!

But they are not jealous of Shen Lian, but Zhao Xianye!
After all, Shen Lian's level is far superior to theirs, so they have no right to be jealous!

So they could only envy Zhao Xianye. How great it would be if they could replace Zhao Xianye!

It’s a pity that Shen Lian doesn’t think highly of them at all.

They just felt so regretful. If they had known that they could establish a good relationship with Shen Lian, their merits would increase rapidly. Who would want to offend Shen Lian?
The more they think about it now, the more they regret it.

Shen Lian didn't know all this, or rather, he didn't care.

At this moment, he was looking at Maotu who was rushing over quickly.

Maotu walked forward and bowed to Shen Lian: "Master, are you okay?"

……

Shen Lian didn't know all this, or rather, he didn't care.

At this moment, he was looking at Maotu who was rushing over quickly.

Maotu walked forward and bowed to Shen Lian: "Master, are you okay?" (End of this chapter)
