Soon we arrived at the target's mansion.

They stopped at an intersection not far from the mansion and walked quickly.

They arrived directly at their destination without riding horses to avoid being quickly noticed by Beichen.

In that case, Beichen might have been frightened away.

When they arrived at the mansion, they saw that Wang Junyan and Fatty Zhang had already arrived.

They came from their location and were closer than Shen Lian and others.

"Master Shen."

The two of them bowed to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian asked: "Junyan, how are you doing?"

As a master of thousands of arts, Wang Junyan is best at deceiving people.

So he just took action personally and unknowingly obtained a lot of information.

Wang Junyan said: "People nearby said that this mansion had been empty before."

"They haven't seen anyone coming in or out recently."

"However, they said that sometimes when passing by the mansion, they heard some sounds coming from the mansion."

"In addition, some people say that recently there have been some strange people on this road. These people have never appeared before, but during this time, there are almost no people who will not pass by this road."

Shen Lian listened to Wang Junyan's words and nodded slightly.

He looked at Fatty Zhang and said, "Fat Zhang, it's your turn to take action."

"I suspect that this mansion may have a secret passage leading outside the city. Come and check to see if there is one."

"And, if there is one, where are the entrances and exits."

Fatty Zhang heard this and said without any hesitation: "Leave it to me."

"If there is a secret passage, I will definitely find it."

With that said, Fatty Zhang quickly turned around and left.

Wang Junyan also went out to help.

Looking at the two people leaving, Tianji sighed: "These two men of yours are very good, and their own special features are very obvious."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I'm so greedy."

Tianji nodded: "I like this kind of subordinate very much."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "It's a pity that I can't give it to you."

"It took a lot of effort for me to find these people who are capable and loyal to me."

"As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold are easy to come by, but loyalty is rare. Not to mention, everyone has their own unique abilities, which makes it even more rare."

Tianji said: "Even if you give it to me, I don't want it. Once people like them follow you, it will be difficult for them to follow others. Even if you give it to me, they are in the Cao camp and their hearts are in the Han Dynasty. There is no way they can do it." Being your gap, I don’t want them to tell you everything I do every day.”

Shen Lian laughed.

The two casually joked a few words to ease their emotions.

Shen Lian's smile faded. He looked at the mansion in front of him and said, "Sishe, the specific situation."

Si She said: "This house was built ten years ago."

"It was originally the house of the Minister of Household Affairs."

"Later, the Minister of Household Affairs retired and returned to his hometown, and the house was sold."

"According to the records of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the person who purchased this house was a wealthy businessman named Zhu Jun."

"But after this wealthy businessman bought the house, he never came to live in it."

"Until now, at least on the surface, no one has lived here."

"But that wealthy businessman is still active, but his main business operations are in the Jiangnan area."

Tianji does not have an intelligence network as strong as Shadow Guard. Although he knows some information about this house, it is not as detailed as Sishe.

He looked at Shen Lian and said: "This Zhu Jun is a real person, and he is still doing business in Jiangnan... Then did Beichen secretly borrow his mansion, or is Zhu Jun also a member of the Beidou Society?"

Shen Lian said: "I don't think it was borrowed secretly, nor that Zhu Jun is a member of the Beidou Society."

Tianji looked at him in confusion.

Shen Lian said: "If you borrow it secretly, there is a risk that the owner will come back suddenly and he will be exposed."

"Although, as long as we keep an eye on Zhu Jun, we can ensure that Zhu Jun will not come back."

"But for some things, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."

"What if Zhu Jun comes back?"

"Beichen absolutely doesn't want anything unexpected to happen. He can't leave such a possibility open."

"So, it is unlikely that this house was secretly borrowed."

"As for the possibility that Zhu Jun is the Beidou Society, I think the probability is even smaller."

"After all, as long as Beichen takes action, he should have the consciousness that I can find out here. When the time comes, I will definitely find Zhu Jun."

"If Zhu Jun is really a member of the Beidou Society, it is tantamount to putting clues about the Beidou Society in front of me."

"Even if he silences Zhu Jun in the end, as long as he gives me a direction, I won't be able to uncover some secrets."

"Beichen is very aware of my abilities. He cannot and does not dare to give me any direction."

"Therefore, I suspect..."

Shen Lian looked at Tianji and Sishe and said, "Beichen should have bought this house with the help of Zhu Jun through some means."

"In other words, Zhu Jun bought the house, but someone else asked him to buy it. He was just a middleman."

"For a businessman, as long as you give him money and ask him to help buy a mansion, I think Zhu Jun has no reason to refuse."

"In this case, even if we find Zhu Jun, the clues will probably be interrupted, because Zhu Jun will most likely not even know who the buyer is."

Tianji and Sishe thought about Beichen's cunning.

Immediately everyone nodded in agreement.

Tianji said: "In other words, we can't find any clues about Beichen from the house."

"It seems that we still have to start from Beichen itself!"

Shen Lian looked at the mansion and said: "When we came, Beichen had not yet taken action. Although I don't know what Beichen's purpose is, I feel that Beichen will not delay for too long."

"After all, the longer it takes, the more dangerous he will be."

"So, we don't have much time."

Tianji looked at Shen Lian and said, "What are you going to do?"

Shen Lian squinted his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Are you interested in becoming a Thief Saint with me?"

"Holy Thief?"

Tianji looked at Shen Lian doubtfully.

Shen Lian smiled and said: "It's a bit high-end to say, but the things you do are pretty much the same."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He looked at Tianji and said, "Let's climb over the wall and sneak in."

Tianji's eyes flashed suddenly: "You mean... we sneak in directly?"

Shen Lian nodded.

He said: "If we attack hard, Beichen will be alerted immediately. With Beichen's caution, he will definitely evacuate quickly."

"By then, even if we find where he lives, we may not have a chance to find him."

"So, if you want to really see him, there is only one way, and that is to sneak in."

"Sneak in secretly, avoid Beichen's eyes, and get close to Beichen."

"Only in this way will our chances of seeing Beichen with our own eyes be greater."

"Otherwise, our trip may have been in vain."

Tianji thought for a moment, then nodded directly and said, "I'll go with you."

Tianji knew Beichen very well. Beichen and he were the same type of people. He knew very well that if he didn't approach Beichen in a completely different way than Beichen, he would definitely not be able to meet Beichen.

After all, if there was any trouble, Beichen would definitely retreat immediately.

In this case, they had no chance to find Beichen.

Shen Lian said: "Without further delay, my arrangements may be exposed at any time by the Ministry of Officials."

"Once my men take action, Beichen will immediately understand that I have noticed his intentions. In that case, Beichen will definitely give up immediately and choose to retreat."

"So, we have to hurry up."
