Chapter 276: Fortunately! This is the key figure linking the Seven Stars!
It serves no purpose other than being embarrassing.
Silence, still silence.
In the end, it was so silent that many people found it difficult to breathe. They felt that if they continued to be silent, they would suffocate to death.
Finally someone raised his head and broke the silence.
"Mr. Wang, you are our backbone, what do you think we should do? We, we really don't want to avenge Master Lu and the others?"
Hearing this, the others quickly looked at Wang Wenru.
They had no choice but to rely on Wang Wenru.
Wang Wenru is older, has a lot of experience, has read a lot, and has come up with many insidious ideas. They still admire Wang Wenru very much.
Moreover, Wang Wenru was a royal censor, and his image to the outside world was always that of someone who spoke upright and upright, so no one knew what kind of sinister old guy Wang Wenru was.
Wang Wenru was silent for a while, and then said: "Shen Lian is too scary, and... I also sent someone to ask Li Kuiqing, and Lu Xie did insult his parents at that time..."
"He indeed went too far... I ask you if you would want to kill me if I scolded your parents."
Everyone glanced at Wang Wenru and shook their heads subconsciously.
How could someone kill someone just because they were scolded?
Anyway, cursing won't make you lose any weight.
As long as the benefits are for you, you can scold them as much as you want, and it's not impossible for them to join in the scolding.
Even more beneficial, they can bring their parents in front of each other and let the other party scold them.
If you are scolded, be scolded. For them, interests are the most important thing.
Seeing that everyone was not giving him face, Wang Wenru shook his head, frowned, and said, "What?"
At this time, everyone suddenly realized what Wang Wenru meant, and they nodded quickly.
Wang Wenru was then satisfied.
He said: "If you think about it differently, if Lu Xie insulted your parents, you would also kill Lu Xie! So it is understandable that Shen Lian killed Lu Xie!"
"Of course... Lu Xie is also our partner. I don't mean to say what I want to do with him. It's just that he really did something wrong this time."
"As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. All nations come to court. With Shen Lian's current power, coupled with the influence of the King of Chu, you also know that if Shen Lian can turn our hostility into friendship and become our partner... I I think you should also know how many benefits there are."
After listening to Wang Wenru's words, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
They subconsciously looked at Wang Wenru.
"So, Mr. Wang means..."
Wang Wenru said calmly: "I will find time to ask Shen Lian to come over and have a good talk with Shen Lian. There is not much hatred between us. I will find a way to turn the conflict into friendship, and even let him abandon the King of Chu and join us. "
"As for Lu Xie... If we all contribute some efforts to bury him properly and take care of his family, it will not be in vain for our colleagues."
When everyone heard Wang Wenru's words, their eyes suddenly flickered.
Befriend Shen Lian, and turn their conflicts into friendship.
They really didn't expect this possibility.
Compared with Lu Qianlai, Shen Lian certainly has higher rights and status, and can bring more benefits to them!
If they could really pull Shen Lian over to the prince's camp, who would Lu Xie be? They could completely forget about this person's existence.
So for a while, many people agreed and thought this was a perfect plan.
When Wang Wenru saw this, he said: "Let's do it. I will invite Shen Lian, and then on that day, I will also find a few of you who can talk to Shen Lian to come together, and we will chat with Shen Lian. chat."
Someone whispered: "That Shen Lian is extremely arrogant and loyal to the King of Chu. Can he come? Can he really betray the King of Chu?"
Wang Wenru raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said confidently: "Anyone who doesn't betray another person's condition means that the interests are not enough. Don't worry, I have a way, and he will definitely come."
When everyone heard this, they were relieved.
After all, Wang Wenru, an old bastard, has never let them down.
In this way, what was originally a crusade meeting against Shen Lian turned into a recruitment meeting for Shen Lian.
As for Lu Xie?
Who is Lu Xie?
Why don't we know each other?
Reality... is so cruel.
Death is like a lamp going out. What benefits can a dead person bring to them? Of course, Shen Lian, who has a very high position of power, makes them even more greedy.
A quarter of an hour later, these officials left one after another.
Soon, Wang Wenru was the only one left in the hall.
Wang Wenru closed his eyes, and the warm smile on his face disappeared, replaced by an extremely stiff expression.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke: "You have heard that we will take action tomorrow night. I don't care what you do. You can plan it yourself."
In the empty hall, suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of Wang Wenru.
At the heart of this black shadow, there is a crescent moon pattern embroidered on it.
"So willing to give up? Don't you feel bad? After all, it took more than ten years of hard work." A hoarse laugh came out.
Wang Wenru still didn't open his eyes. His voice was emotionless, as calm as the voice coming from a puppet: "It's worth it for Shen Lian."
"Ah."
The black shadow laughed, said no more words, and soon disappeared.
And Wang Wenru, with his eyes closed like this, felt as if he had lost his breath.
…………
The next day, early morning.
Dali Temple Yamen.
Shen Lian stretched, and as soon as he arrived at the Dali Temple Yamen to prepare to meet the recently captured man, Li Wencheng, Abao came over to greet him.
"Sir, someone has sent an invitation to invite you to a banquet."
Shen Lian entered the office, sat down, and said with some surprise: "Who?"
Who would invite me to a banquet at this juncture?
Abao looked at Shen Lian and said in a deep voice: "Censor, Wang Wenru."
"Wang Wenru?"
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows directly.
He said: "But that Wang Wenru that Li Kuiqing was talking about?"
Abao nodded hurriedly: "That's him, the backbone of Li Kuiqing's faction."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "This is interesting. I haven't gone to find him yet, but he came to find me."
"Then sir, are we going?"
Abao said: "The servants of the palace are still waiting for your response."
Shen Lian thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing to go to. I'm not familiar with him, and this old bastard must not have held it in well. There's no need to go to his home court."
Abao was not surprised at all. He nodded and was about to reply.
"grown ups."
At this moment, another Jin Yiwei Ali suddenly rushed in.
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Sir, what you asked me to investigate before has been found out."
When Shen Lian heard this, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "How is it?"
Ali said: "We first found the former Taoist priests of Tai Chi Temple, and then went to the Ministry of Rites to check the registration book that was taken away from Tai Chi Temple when it was banned."
"Then we compared them one by one and found that before the rebellion of Qiwang of the Five Surnames, there were no wandering Taoist priests who had been to Tai Chi Temple, so there was no one who fit the status of a Taoist priest mentioned by the Lord."
"but….…"
Ali changed his voice and said: "Although there are no Taoist priests, we found out that there was a believer who lived in Tai Chi Temple for half a month during that time."
"His reason was that he had nightmares for a long time and felt that something unclean was haunting him, so he went to Tai Chi Temple to purify himself. During that time, he often met Wu Yazi from Tai Chi Temple."
Shen Lian's eyes flashed, it didn't matter whether he was a Taoist or not.
The important thing is that during that period, there were people who did not follow Tai Chi!
And this person is definitely related to the Big Dipper Society and the Big Dipper Seven Stars!
So he quickly asked: "Who is that person?"
Ali looked at Shen Lian and said in a deep voice: "Censor, Wang Wenru!"
Outside the Yamen of Dali Temple.
When Shen Lian heard Ali's words, his eyes suddenly flashed with light, and he felt that the originally messy threads in his mind were directly connected together at this moment.
Things that were originally unrelated, things that were noisy and confusing, were gathered together.
The thick fog in front of me suddenly dissipated.
"Wang Wenru, it's him..."
The corners of Shen Lian's mouth suddenly rose: "But if it's him, then all these things that I haven't thought about will make sense."
"It should be him, it should be him!"
Shen Lian suddenly laughed.
Ali, however, and Monk Zhang Er were at a loss.
He scratched his head, his head filled with questions because of Wang Wenru's shock.
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Sir, what is that? That person is Wang Wenru, shouldn't you be surprised?"
"Surprised, why should you be surprised?"
Shen Lian chuckled lightly and said, "If it weren't for him, then I really couldn't figure it out, but if it were him, then everything would make sense."
"Ah!" Ali looked confused.
Abao was also a little confused.
Shen Lian was in a good mood and explained: "Your Majesty, the matter of temporarily letting me control Dali Temple did not just happen in the past two days. A lot of things have happened in the meantime."
"But their attacks have increased in the past two days. This is obviously a problem."
"If they are really dissatisfied, if they are really afraid of me, then they should report it immediately after His Majesty's order. In this case, when all nations come to court, my power has not yet gained a firm foothold, and they still have a lot of room for maneuver. .”
"But they are not like this! This shows that they are very afraid of me. This fear is the deterrent force of our King Chu, which prevents them from taking action against me directly."
Abao and Ali thought for a while, then nodded suddenly.
Shen Lian continued: "In the past two days, they suddenly took action against me, and sent Lu Xie and those two people to directly put the idea into practice. According to what I just said, there is definitely a problem with this."
"It's the best time not to take action, but to take action at this time when my status is not threatened in any way. This obviously makes no sense."
"This is very weird. It seems that they are afraid that I, Shen Lian, will not know about it. It seems that they are actively sending people here for me to kill..."
"This is something that goes against common sense. I couldn't figure it out before."
Shen Lian paused for a moment and said: "Because in my opinion, Shen Lian, no matter which dynasty or generation, there should be a limit to the stupidity of people who can serve as officials. Lu Xie and Li Kuiqing, they are really It’s so stupid that I can’t even imagine it.”
"But now, after knowing that the core figure in their faction is Wang Wenru, and that Wang Wenru has something to do with Wu Yazi, I can sort out all this."
Ali asked: "Then...what do you mean, sir?"
Shen Lian chuckled lightly and said, "Don't you understand yet? I have already said that the people who were around Wu Yazi that day are definitely related to the Beidou Society or Beichen."
"Perhaps Wang Wenru is not even a member of the Beidou Society, or he is Beichen's subordinate...or maybe..."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe it was Beichen himself. After all, Beichen controlled Wuyazi during those few days."
When Xu Gou and Si She heard this, their expressions changed.
However, before they could say anything, Shen Lian said again: "Don't think about it. If Wang Wenru didn't do these things, then he might actually be Beichen himself. After all, no one knows who Beichen is."
"But now that he has done these things, it is obvious that he has declared war on our Prince Chu's Mansion, so it should not be Beichen. Beichen is too late to hide from our Prince Chu's Mansion, so how can he dare to attract my attention in such a high-profile manner."
"However, this Wang Wenru is definitely related to Beichen! Think about it, on the front foot, I, Shen Lian, took advantage of the Five Surnames and Qiwang Rebellion to cause Beichen to suffer a big loss, causing the Beidou Society to lose a lot of power. On the back foot, Wang Wenru and the others They sent Lu Xie, a man with a bad temper, to surround me... With my skills as an old scumbag, Wang Wenru, how can I not know what kind of character Lu Xie is?"
"Don't you know that Lu Xie may have stepped on my bottom line?"
"So, if nothing else happens, I think... Lu Xie will be killed by me, maybe he expected it, and killing the imperial official is definitely not a trivial matter, maybe I will be implicated in it
.”
"Once the court wants to investigate me, maybe those guys who are ready to take action will swarm up and eat me. Then I may not have enough time to take care of myself, let alone deal with Beichen."
Abao's face changed greatly: "So that's it? This Wang Wenru is really sinister and vicious! How come Lu Xie is also his confidant, and he treats his confidant like this?"
Ali said coldly: "Those guys have no humanity at all. For them, as long as they can achieve their goals, it doesn't matter if they sacrifice anyone."
Abao patted his heart and said happily: "Fortunately, Your Majesty resisted everything and did not let the Lord and His Royal Highness the King of Chu be affected at all, otherwise it would be unimaginable!"
"There are many people who are jealous of you. It's just that they are afraid of our Highness the King of Chu and don't dare to take action. But once His Highness the King of Chu or you have any accidents and they find an opportunity, they will never let it go. At that time, it will be really dangerous.
Already."
Ali and Abao both looked happy, but Shen Lian had no reaction.
Even if His Majesty can't handle it, he won't be fine just because he killed a Lu Xie.
After all, I am also one of the Eight Heroes of His Royal Highness King Chu, so I still have the ability to deal with things.
Even if he killed the person, with his ability, no one could find any evidence or clues against him, so he really wasn't afraid at all.
