"Shut up!"

Ring scolded loudly.

The incense seller was immediately frightened and swallowed his words.

Then Jie Li straightened his head and looked at Shen Lian with his head bowed, and said: "Master Shen, there is a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!"

Shen Lian laughed, still looking casual, and said: "Master Jiezhi, don't be so nervous. I, Shen, just want to ask, I have no other meaning."

"I dare not call you master, Master Shen. You can just call me little monk Jie Zhi."

Jie Zhi dared to pretend in front of others, but he did not dare to make a mistake in front of Shen Lian.

After all, this is the great man who made Leilei successful! If he makes any mistakes, His Majesty will be the first one in the court to trouble him!

When Shen Lian saw this, he just laughed, ignored Jiezhi and the incense seller, and walked towards Huasheng Temple.

Jie Zhi saw that Shen Lian was not causing trouble for him, so he couldn't help but raise his hand and wipe his cold sweat.

"Quiet."

But at this time, he suddenly heard Deyuan say: "You have violated the precepts. Remember, you can go to Xing Punishing Hall to receive the punishment yourself."

Hearing this, Jie straightened his eyes and stared fiercely.

"Uncle." He looked pale and shook his head hurriedly.

Xingpu Hall is the place where Huasheng Temple deals with erring monks.

I went there, but there was no good fruit to eat.

Deyuan said coldly: "Sir Sir Shen, he is our distinguished guest. We must not make Mr. Shaoqing dissatisfied. Although Sir Shen did not say anything, we cannot do nothing."

"Go and receive your punishment as soon as possible, lest Sir Shen think that we are protecting you. Also... you are no longer allowed to collude with outsiders of the temple, otherwise if you are discovered again, you will no longer be a member of Huasheng Temple."

Jiezhi's face turned pale, and his whole expression was extremely frightened.

Deyuan gave him an ultimatum.

If you do it again, you will be expelled from the school.

This...this...

His face turned pale, and he glanced at the incense seller with hatred, wondering what evil he had done.

Then, he went to the punishment hall to receive his punishment in despair.

Inside the temple.

Deyuan kept apologizing to Shen Lian, saying that the temple was negligent in discipline and had violated Shen Lian.

Shen Lian just smiled and shook his head.

Then he turned around and lowered his voice to Di Renjie and said, "Renjie, go and investigate."

"As a treasure of Huasheng Temple, the relic must be extremely well guarded. In this case, there are only two possibilities for it to be stolen."

"Either he is a very skilled thief, or he is a traitor, someone from Huasheng Temple."

"No matter what the situation is, people who are greedy for money are the easiest to be exploited, so you go and investigate Jie Zhi. If someone in the temple is bribed, the probability is the highest."

Di Renjie was shocked when he heard Shen Lian's words.

This time when he came to Chang'an City, his father warned him that the main purpose was to learn knowledge from his master Shen Lian.

But just now, he was just watching the excitement and felt very happy that Jie Zhi and the incense seller were dealt with.

But he really didn't expect that what his mentor just did was not random at all, but had a purpose.

Even before the investigation of the case has started, there are already suspects.

Regardless of whether you are straight or not, at least you have a direction.

This made Di Renjie feel shocked and a little ashamed at the same time. The gap between himself and his mentor was really too big.

He took a deep breath and nodded directly: "Teacher, don't worry, the student will do it now."

With that said, Di Renjie found a reason and left the group.

When Xu Gou saw Di Renjie leaving alone, he couldn't help but whispered: "Young Master, is it okay for Mr. Di to be alone?"

Shen Lian laughed and said, "Do you know, when I, Shen, met Renjie for the first time, what mission did I leave for Renjie when we parted?"

Of course Xu Gou didn't know.

Shen Lian said: "The task I gave Renjie at that time was to extract all the information about any person he met within half an hour from his mouth, including his birthday, birth date, and who his friends were. Inside!"

"When will the number be reduced to 500, that is, if the intelligence of 500 people is obtained, then Renjie will have completed his mission."

"To extract information is a test of various abilities, such as social interaction, emotional intelligence, IQ, keen insight, familiarity and shamelessness, etc."

"As for Renjie, he completed it in just over two months, so... these experiences are enough to hone his extremely strong abilities, so don't worry, he won't be sold even if you are sold."

When Xu Gou heard the task given by Shen Lian to Di Renjie, he felt that his young master was really eclectic in teaching his students.

This task sounded like it was making his scalp numb.

He knew that he would never be able to complete it.

And Di Renjie was able to complete it in such a short period of time. It seems that this kid Di Renjie is far more sinister inside than he appears on the surface!

This pair of master and disciple is almost ruthlessly terrifying!

Thinking of this, he no longer said he was worried about Di Renjie.

Nothing else, I am not worthy.

Seeing Xu Gou's depressed look, Shen Lian smiled lightly and didn't care.

After all, Di Renjie would also be prime minister in the future. He didn't think it was a trivial matter.

After all, if it were him, he would be able to know the information without using any clichés.

Therefore, in his eyes, Di Renjie was still far behind.

"Master Shen, this is it."

At this time, Deyuan took Shen Lian and the others to a main hall.

In the hall, there was a monk who was also in his fifties or sixties and was beating wooden fish.

Hearing the sound, he opened his eyes and stood up.

He walked up to Shen Lian, clasped his hands together, and said, "The poor monk, the host of Dezhi of Huasheng Temple, has met Lord Qin."

Dezhi is a little fatter than Deyuan, looks kind-hearted, and is more kind than Deyuan.

Shen Lian nodded slightly and said: "Master Dezhi, time is urgent, so let's not chat for a while. Let me get straight to the point."

"What happened when the relics from your temple were stolen?"

Dezhi did not waste any time. He sighed, holding the Buddha beads in his hand, and said: "Sin, sin!"

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "The most precious relic of our Huasheng Temple is enshrined in this main hall."

He pointed to the table under the Buddha statue and said: "The relics were placed there before."

Shen Lian looked around and saw only an empty box covered with gold cloth on the table.

Dezhi said: "Five nights ago, one of our firewood sheds suddenly flooded. Many monks were alerted and went to put out the fire."

"And just when we had just put out the fire, there was a sudden scream, which came from the main hall. We were shocked and came over quickly."

"I discovered that outside the main hall, the two monks guarding the relics were rushing out of the hall with panic on their faces. They said they heard a sound in the hall, but there should be no one in the hall, so they rushed into the hall."

"But who knew, after rushing into the temple, they found that there was still no one in the temple, but the relic... disappeared."

When Shen Lian heard this, the scene of that day directly appeared in his mind.

He frowned and said: "There were shouts in the store, but when they entered the hall, they found no one? Right?"

Dezhi nodded: "That's right."

"Then you all came over?" Shen Lian asked again.

Dezhi continued to nod: "We were all putting out the fire before. When we heard the shouting, we came together. Then we found that the relic was missing. The poor monk immediately ordered people to seal the temple and searched every place, but... Nothing was found, no intruders were found, and no relics were found."

Shen Lian pursed his lips. He suddenly looked at Xu Gou and whispered something into Xu Gou's ear. Then he saw Xu Gou directly turned over and jumped onto the beam of the roof without saying a word.

He observed it carefully, then jumped down. Facing Shen Lian's gaze, he nodded slightly and said, "Everything is as the young master expected."

Shen Lian looked at Dezhi and the others and said calmly: "I already know how the thief escaped."

"What?!" Dezhi and others' eyes widened instantly, and they couldn't help but exclaimed.

Everyone looked at Shen Lian in shock.

"At the same time, I also know the reason why you searched the entire temple and couldn't find the relics." Shen Lian continued.

At this time, Dezhi and others all looked at Shen Lian with wide eyes and nervous expressions.

"Because...because of what!?"

Huasheng Temple, inside the main hall.
To be continued...
