Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

"Their mystery lies in the fact that we cannot understand their methods, so they will feel how mysterious and mysterious they are."

"But if we knew their methods..."

Shen Lian sneered: "Then their so-called illusion is really ridiculous!"

Sishe's mind moved, and he looked at Shen Lian and said, "Master, what you mean is that they used an illusion to deceive our vision?"

Shen Lian said calmly: "Calling it an illusion is complimenting them. In fact, it is just a very simple method."

"Do you see the scratches on this pillar?" Shen Lian asked.

It was only then that the Snake and the Dog discovered that there was a scratch on the pillar. However, because the scratch was not obvious, they would not have noticed it if Shen Lian hadn't pointed it out.

"This is...this is..."

Sishe took a closer look and frowned, saying, "The scratches were caused by the thin wire passing through."

"Yes."

Shen Lian raised his finger, pointed at the poplar tree above his head, and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, there should be scratches on it as well."

Without saying anything, Sishe climbed up the poplar tree. After searching for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "There really are scratches, just like the ones on the pillar."

The dog scratched his head and said, "What does this mean?"

Shen Lian glanced at Xu Gou and said, "Si Snake, a few years ago, there was a case that I worked with you on because I couldn't bear to see the murderer go unpunished. You should have seen this method before. Come and tell Xu Gou about it."

Snake understood it completely.

He took a deep breath and said, "Xu Gou, before you and Master went to escort the convoy, the young master and I once handled a case at the government office of Zhaojun County in Yizhou. At that time, some mirrors were lost inside the government office, and there were rumors that it was haunted."

"The county magistrate of the government office there knew our master, so he knew my ability and asked me and the young master to handle the case."

"As a result, the young master discovered that the so-called haunting was completely man-made, and the method... was also very simple, just some thin ropes and one or two mirrors."

"A mirror can reflect the scene it reflects. For example, if you are down there, I can use the mirror to let you see something far away."

"And now, the situation here is the same as the Yizhou Zhaojun County Government Office at that time. There are traces of fine lines. If my guess is correct..."

Sishe looked at Shen Lian, and under Shen Lian's encouraging gaze, he said, "There should be a mirror tied to a thin line, hanging in front of this door, and the angle is just right for me to see it from the entrance of the alley."

"I saw the spy open this door, but actually, I saw the reflection of the spy opening other doors in this mirror."

"so……"

Sishe suddenly looked towards the two mansions opposite, his eyes flashing with brilliance: "As expected, the mirror can only reflect these two mansions, so... they must be hiding in these two mansions!"

The Dog was really surprised when he heard what the Snake said.

Is this still the Snake he knows?

Can we make so many inferences based on these clues?

Although I've experienced this before, it's not easy, right?
Not everyone can draw inferences from one example!
"Snake, you are so smart now!" Dog couldn't help but praise.

When Sishe heard this, he, the shadow guard, actually blushed a little. He coughed and said, "It was all because of the young master's reminder. If it weren't for the young master's reminder, I wouldn't even be able to find the trace of the thin line."

Shen Lian laughed and said, "Okay, you have little experience in handling cases alone. You may have overlooked some details this time. Just pay attention next time! It's good enough that we can find these two mansions."

Being praised by Shen Lian, Sishe immediately laughed.

"But Master, I can only conclude that there is something wrong with these two mansions, but I don't know which one it is."

"It doesn't matter."

Shen Lian raised his finger, pointed at the gate of a mansion, and said calmly: "They are hiding here!"

…………

Following the direction pointed by Shen Lian, Sishe and others looked quickly.

Then they saw that Shen Lian was pointing at the mansion closest to them, which was also one of the two mansions that Sishe had just identified.

The gate of the mansion was closed at this time. There was a plaque above the gate with two large characters written on it - Fantasy Mansion!

"Illusionary Mansion?"

Sishe frowned slightly: "Is there anyone else in this world with the last name Huan?"

He had never heard of the surname Huan among the Hundred Family Surnames.

Shen Lian said calmly: "Huan is not a surname, but the Huan Family of the Hundred Schools of Thought, Huan Mansion... It seems that we have run to the territory of the Huan Family!"

"The Huan Family?"

When the two heard the name, they became slightly alert.

Having experienced what happened with the Yin-Yang School before, they already felt it was difficult to deal with those mysterious and unpredictable methods.

The Huan School is said to be even more mysterious than the Yin-Yang School.

"Let's go."

The Snake and the Dog looked solemn, but Shen Lian still had a calm expression.

It was as if the name Huanjia had no effect on him.

He yawned lightly and stretched slightly, as if he was digesting food after a meal, and slowly came to the door of the Fantasy Mansion.

"Seal off the front and back doors of the Illusion House, and keep a close eye on the walls. Surround him directly. If anyone comes out of the Illusion House, arrest them directly. If they don't obey orders, kill them without mercy!"

Shen Lian stared at the blood-red plaque of Huan Mansion and spoke slowly.

Although Shen Lian's voice was not loud at this time, the fierce momentum in his words made everyone's heart tremble. These shadow guards nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

"besides."

Shen Lian continued, "Go to the intersections of the three nearby streets and ambush there. If anyone shows up in the next two hours, capture them immediately. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Young Master, what are you doing?" Si She looked at Qin Zulai with some surprise.

Shen Lian said calmly: "What was your purpose in sending people to block the entrance and exit of the alley just now? I have the same purpose."

Sishe hurriedly said, "Master, are you worried that they have another way to escape?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly: "It's great that you can think of these things, but you still underestimate our opponents. If Beichen is really here, he deliberately led us here. On the one hand, he wanted to set an ambush to deal with us, and on the other hand... he must have considered that in case of an accident, he could leave safely."

"So, one street is not enough. Maybe they have a tunnel that takes them directly out of this alley. So three streets is a compromise. If there are more... we don't have enough manpower and it's difficult to devote that much energy. So this is the limit of what we can do at the moment."

Sishe thought seriously about Shen Lian's words. He knew that his young master explained the reasons to him in such detail in order to teach him, so he listened very carefully.

Seeing that Sishe looked thoughtful, Shen Lian nodded slightly.

Although the Snake lacks experience, fortunately they are able to calm down and think and grow, which is much better than those people who are too ambitious and shake things around with half-full knowledge.

The shadow guards have quickly taken action.

Shen Lian took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly flashed, and his whole temperament suddenly changed at this moment.

If his temperament just now was lazy and gave people the feeling that he could fall asleep at any time.

At this moment, his eyes were sharp, like a hunter hunting for prey.

The momentum changes suddenly!

"When you're ready, we'll go in."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "I, Shen, believe that this fantasy palace must be very interesting."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lian didn't give anyone a chance to react, and suddenly kicked out with a loud bang.

The tightly closed door was kicked down by Shen Lian.

Shen Lian's physique is very strong and has reached a very terrifying level.

With one kick, even a stone can be broken into pieces, let alone an ordinary door.

The door slammed down and fell to the ground, raising a lot of dust.

And the scene behind the door finally came into everyone's sight.

What they saw was a pitch-black yard.

But the next moment the door was kicked open, suddenly--
Wow! Wow!
Clusters of flames suddenly lit up.

The scene in the yard was instantly illuminated.

From the gate to the depths of the courtyard, there were many pillars on both sides of the road, and on the pillars were dancing flames that had just started.

In the silent night, the flames suddenly lit up naturally, which scared Sishe and others.

I feel that the scene before me is a bit creepy.

But Shen Lian still had a calm expression. He didn't even look at the flames and walked straight in.

As he walked, he said, "Follow me closely, be careful not to get lost."

Xu Gou followed Shen Lian into the yard. After hearing what Shen Lian said, he couldn't help but said, "Lost? Master, you underestimate us too much. It's just a small yard. We can see the bottom at a glance. How could we get lost?"

Shen Lian paused, he looked like a dog, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Being stared at like this by Shen Lian, Xu Gou Xin Gan couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly said: "Master, what...what's wrong?"

Shen Lian's voice suddenly became hollow, and his eyes were empty, which made Xu Gou tremble in his heart.

"Turn around and take a look." Shen Lian said empty-handedly.

When Xu Gou heard Shen Lian's words, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing behind his neck, which made him shrink his neck immediately.

The whole person is not well.

He swallowed and looked back subconsciously.

Then--
"Oh my God!"

A scream suddenly rang out.

“People, people, there are fewer people!”

Xu Gou's lips moved slightly. He clearly remembered that when he just came in, there were more than a dozen shadow guards following him. But after taking a few steps and looking back, there were only five or six shadow guards left.

What about the other shadow guards?

And they clearly came in through the door.

But when I turned around, there was no sign of the door at all.

There were trees behind them, as if they had entered a forest.

In addition, the flames on the pillars were bright red, which made them look even more eerie in the night.

This gave Xu Gou goosebumps all over his body.

Shen Lian didn't take it seriously and said unhappily, "It's just a small matter. You better not be so loud, Dog. The enemy can know where we are based on the sound."

After hearing what Shen Lian said, Xu Gou immediately lowered his head in shame.

But his voice was still trembling: "Where are the people?"

Snake also looked solemn and his scalp was tingling.

The current situation was indeed beyond his expectations.

Shen Lian looked calm and not surprised.

He said calmly: "Don't worry, the person is not dead."

"The enemy's target is me, Shen, not anyone else. Although this is their territory, they will definitely not be too reckless in building such a territory in Chang'an City, so the number of people here is limited."

"They know how difficult I am, so they won't want to cause any more trouble. If they deal with other people and attract my attention, then all their efforts tonight will be in vain."

"so……"

Shen Lian spoke calmly but seriously, "If any of you get lost next, remember... stand still, don't move, ignore any sounds around you, ignore anyone talking, just wait where you are, I will keep you safe."

Seeing Shen Lian being so serious, Sishe and the others felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, and they quickly nodded in agreement.

Only then did Shen Lian nod slightly.

He said, "Okay, keep going and don't make a fuss."

“This…is just the beginning.”

Shen Lian continued to walk forward.

Even though someone was missing, his expression did not change at all. Meng Hu and others did not dare to relax their vigilance at this moment. They followed Qin Wenyuan closely, fearing that they would disappear if they were not careful.

Although I don’t know when the scene behind me changed~.

But the road ahead of them was still the same as what they had seen before.

Some stone pillars faced the firelight, illuminating a path forward.

At the end of the road is a high platform.

Except for the places illuminated by the firelight, the rest of the place was filled with shadows.

In the pitch-black night, something seemed to be moving, but due to the dim light, they couldn't see what was going on there.

Sishe frowned and said solemnly, "Be careful, there may be someone around spying on us."

As one of the Twelve Shadow Assassins, Si Snake's main job is to do things in secret.

Therefore, I am particularly sensitive to this kind of dark gaze.

He could feel that many eyes were looking towards him, but because he could not see the situation outside the firelight, he did not know where the people were or how many there were.

But there was one thing he was clear about...that was that they could not see the enemy, but the enemy could easily see them with the help of light.

Now... it really is true what the saying goes, you are in the dark and I am in the light.

When Xu Gou and others heard Si Snake's reminder, they immediately became very alert.

They gripped their weapons tightly and looked around constantly.

However, Shen Lian seemed not to have heard what they said, his eyes only fixed on the platform in front of him.

At this moment, there was a sound of breaking wind suddenly in my ears.

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and raised his right hand forward.

Phew!
A dagger flew out directly from Shen Lian's loose sleeves.
