The first time Chu Suiliang heard this voice, his expression was startled, and then his eyes widened suddenly.

He looked directly at the stranger in front of him, a little excited and a little unbelievable.

He said uncertainly: "Master Shen?"

Then, he saw the stranger gently nod his head and said with a smile: "Do you recognize him?"

Chu Suiliang suddenly showed a look of great surprise.

He quickly stood up and said: "Sir, how could this... be you!"

"When did you come back?"

"How come you don't know this at all?"

Shen Lian looked at Chu Suiliang's excited look and chuckled: "I just arrived in Chang'an secretly yesterday. Now, in the whole of Chang'an, except Han Min, you are the only one who knows that I'm back."

Return to Chang'an secretly?

Chu Suiliang's eyes flashed.

He walked directly to the door and said to the government servant outside: "There is nothing to do here. You can go do other things first. If necessary, I will come to find you."

Naturally, the Yamen servant would not disobey the order of Chu Suiliang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and leave quickly.

After they left, Chu Suiliang closed the door.

Then he came to Shen Lian. He hurriedly bowed to Shen Lian and said, "I have met Mr. Shen."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, there is no need to be polite."

After Chu Suiliang stood up, he looked at Shen Lian and said, "Master Shen returned secretly, but what is the purpose?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

He said: "My original intention was to prevent the Beidou Society from knowing about my return to Chang'an, so that the Beidou Society would not set an ambush on the road."

"Later, I heard that Master Bai had an accident, and when Master Bai had an accident, it happened to be right after I attacked the Beidou Society, so I suspected that there might be some influence from the Beidou Society in this matter."

"Therefore, I simply kept my identity hidden and secretly returned to Chang'an to investigate this matter and determine whether it is related to the Beidou Society."

This was also the first time Han Min heard Shen Lian say this.

He looked at Shen Lian, and Chu Suiliang also hurriedly asked: "Sir, are you sure?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

"I am 90% certain that what happened this time is related to the Beidou Society. In other words, Mr. Bai was plotted by the Beidou Society."

These words made Han Min's eyes widen subconsciously.

Chu Suiliang also frowned and said, "As expected."

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Actually, Xianguan also felt that Master Bai was plotted against. Therefore, even if Master Bai admitted that he was the one who did it, Xianguan did not close the case rashly."

"It's just that the lower official's power is low. After all this time, the case still hasn't been investigated."

Shen Lian said: "This case is indeed difficult to investigate. If I hadn't suspected from the beginning that this might be something Beidou would do to retaliate against me, I wouldn't have a clear direction."

Chu Suiliang smiled bitterly and nodded.

Shen Lian said: "Master Bai is not the kind of person who easily conflicts with others, let alone someone who fights. Have you ever asked Master Bai why he wanted to fight with Zhou Qin?"

Chu Suiliang said: "The official asked, of course, but..."

"But Mr. Bai refuses to say?" Shen Lian said.

Chu Suiliang nodded, looked at Shen Lian and said, "Yes, I asked Lord Bai sincerely and told Lord Bai that this was related to the truth of the case, but Lord Bai still refused to tell."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.

He understands Bai Yanguan.

Bai Yanguan has been the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for decades, and now he has been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so Bai Yanguan is very aware of the matter of settling the case.

……………………

Therefore, it is impossible for him not to know how inappropriate it is to conceal important information.

But he still hid it.

It seems that... the reason why Bai Yanguan and Zhou Qin took action is too hidden for Bai Yanguan?

Shen Lian pondered for a moment, then looked at Chu Suiliang and said, "Did Dali Temple encounter any trouble after I left?"

Chu Suiliang shook his head: "It's not a big deal. Your lords still care about your face."

"only……"

"Just what?" Shen Lian asked.

Chu Suiliang looked at Shen Lian and said, "It's just that after you left, the number of cases Dali Temple received was more than before."

……………………

"I'm not sure if this is abnormal or not."

"There are more cases than before?"

Shen Lian's eyes narrowed slightly. He pondered for a moment and said, "What are these cases? Are they difficult cases or simple cases? Are they brought up by the local government or happened in Chang'an?"

Chu Suiliang said: "Most of them are simple cases. The number of these cases submitted to the local government is about 10% more than before, while the number of cases that occurred in Chang'an City is about 20% more."

"However, I have carefully reviewed these cases and found that there are no major problems with the evidence, so I am not sure if I am overthinking it. Maybe this is normal."

Shen Lian pursed his lips and sat down directly, just like he used to sit in Dali Temple, and said: "Bring over all the files from the past few months and let me take a look."

At this moment the sunlight is shining through the window.

The light shining on Shen Lian's body seemed to be covered in a golden battle suit.

Listening to familiar words and looking at familiar people, Han Min and Chu Suiliang felt down to earth until this moment.

Shen Lian of Dali Temple, who made them all feel at ease, is really back!

Not long after, Chu Suiliang had people move in the files from this period.

Several months of files piled up together have become a small mountain.

Han Min looked at these files with wide eyes, and his eyeballs almost fell out.

He couldn't help but said: "How many months did your Dali Temple accumulate so many cases?"

Chu Suiliang glanced at Han Min and said: "Cases from all over the Tang Dynasty must be submitted to Dali Temple for review and approval. Of course, the number will not be small."

"But these months have been particularly high."

Han Min touched his nose.

Fortunately, my own Jing Zhaoyin only needs to take care of the cases in Chang'an City.

And once he encounters difficult cases, he can just hand them over to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment directly, so after a few months, although he has a lot of cases, they are not so many.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Han Min looked at the pile of files and couldn't help but said: "Master Shen, when do you have to see this?"

Shen Lian smiled and said: "These cases have been reviewed by Mr. Chu. The specific problems do not exist, so I only need to take a rough look. In this case, the speed will be much faster."

Shen Lian believed in Chu Suiliang's ability and conduct.

Therefore, he believed that as long as Chu Suiliang took over these cases, there would be absolutely no problems.

Therefore, he will not carefully check whether the case itself is perfect.

What he wants to look at is the overall case situation.

Shen Lian quickly began to look through the files.

His speed is very fast, almost as fast as one glance.

When I was reading this dossier, my hand was already holding the next dossier.

The next file is opened, and the next file is in hand.

Han Min looked at the speed at which he was reading the files as if he were flipping through a book, and couldn't help but feel that he had learned a lot.

It turns out that Mr. Shen checked the files so quickly.

He compared it with Shen Lian, and he felt that if he read one file, Lord Shen could read dozens of them.

This difference in efficiency made him give Shen Lian a thumbs up again.

And more importantly, he knew that even if he spent so much time reading it, he might not be able to discover anything.

But Mr. Shen flipped through it so quickly. As long as there was a problem, it would never escape Mr. Shen's eyes.

There is really no comparison between people!

Fortunately, in Han Min's heart, Shen Lian is no longer at the level that a normal person can achieve.

So he was already prepared.

In this way, this mountain of files was turned over by Shen Lian in more than an hour.

Then Shen Lian closed his eyes.
