Chapter 404: The government officials have arrived! What the hell is going on!
Therefore, the governance looks fake at first glance.
But apart from these, other places felt very real to him.
"Could it be..."
Shen Lian speculated: "Could it be that the so-called monsters and gods are a proxy?"
"The monsters and gods mentioned in the book are not real monsters and gods, but refer to certain people? A certain type of people?"
"For example, the monster might be some criminal gangster? Or a villain?"
"In this case, it's not impossible."
"Then Lady Beidou saved those villains, and then she was protected by those people out of gratitude for saving her life? Or taught her some skills?"
"But what about behind?"
Shen Lian continued to turn back the pages of the book, and when he saw the content at the back, he said to himself: "It is said later that Empress Beidou sacrificed herself in order to prevent the war between the two countries and protect the suffering people, thus gaining the peace of the two countries. Peace."
"What does this mean? Is there really a war between two countries, and then the war stopped because of this Beidou Empress?"
"If it is true, which two countries?"
"Or maybe the so-called two countries are also referring to? Not two countries, but two forces?"
Shen Lian felt that his brain was so active that it gave him a headache.
In an instant, so many thoughts and thoughts popped up that she felt like her head would explode.
He shook his head vigorously to get rid of those messy thoughts.
"Insufficient evidence and insufficient clues, we can no longer speculate."
"Maybe this book is just made up by a very talented person, but this person is very powerful, so it looks very real."
"Everything is possible, don't dwell on it."
Shen Lian reminded himself not to be too subjective and not to get into trouble.
He took a deep breath and closed the book.
Then he looked at everything on the table calmly.
I also looked at what I just wrote.
At this time, he suddenly discovered something.
Shen Lian opened the book again and searched for it for a long time, but couldn't find it.
He couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "No name!"
"This Beidou Empress has no name. The whole book is referred to as 'her'."
"Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, those Buddhas and Immortals all have clear names in the mortal world. They cannot be Buddhas or Immortals from the beginning."
"Even in Buddhist classics, each Buddha has his own experience and name before becoming a Buddha."
"So, it's really strange that Empress Beidou doesn't have a name."
"If it's just made up, just write down a name. But if it's not made up, then there is definitely a name. But this name has never been mentioned, so it has been concealed?"
"Why hide it? Afraid of following the clues and finding out more secrets?"
Shen Lian squinted his eyes, feeling more and more that this Beidou Empress might be a breakthrough!
It was an important breakthrough for him to discover the secret of Beichen, and even the secret of the entire Beidou Society!
However, there are not enough clues now!
He still needs more clues about Empress Beidou.
These are the clues in Taihe City, what about other cities?
There are many important cities in Nanzhao, and there must be Beidou Temple in these cities.
So in other cities, can we find more clues about Empress Beidou?
If he could get it, it would really be a huge gain for him.
Just as the army attracted the attention of the Beidou Society and the Nanzhao court, he secretly went to check on the Beidou Empress. This was an opportunity for him.
"In this case……"
Shen Lian's eyes flickered and he quickly made a decision.
"Leave Taihe City tomorrow and go to other cities. We must find as many clues as possible before Beichen reacts."
"Perhaps, the opportunity is right in front of you!"
Shen Lian has a very decisive character.
He never hesitates, and once he identifies a goal, he will quickly make a decision and move forward.
Never waste time and energy in the same place.
So he said he would leave tomorrow, even if he had just arrived in Taihe City the day before, there would be no hesitation.
At this moment, some sounds suddenly came from outside.
Shen Lian's eyes flashed, and he suddenly stood up and blew out the candle, then quickly walked to the window and gently pushed the window open a gap.
In the gap, he found that the door of the inn was knocked open.
Some people from the government, as well as a few people wearing Beidou Temple Taoist robes, walked into the inn.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.
"Check one by one? Or...found this place based on some clues?"
Shen Lian didn't waste any time and quickly put away the books, scrolls and six-fingered gloves.
And he quickly tore up the paper he had written on, so much that grandma couldn't piece it back together.
Then he quickly took off his clothes and lay down under the quilt.
Close your eyes quietly and pretend to sleep.
Not long after, some footsteps were heard in the corridor outside.
Soon, some knocks on the door sounded one after another.
At this time, Shen Lian heard the sound of the door opening coming from next door.
Sishe and Tianji opened the door.
After a while, they should have changed their clothes and washed off the blood stains on their bodies.
Shen Lian was not worried about them.
Not to mention Sishe, Tianji is definitely a cunning fox.
With Tianji here, there will be no accidents.
Unless Tianji deliberately deceived them and deliberately leaked it.
But now Tianji and Beidou will be rivals, and he probably doesn't want to fall into Beidou Guan's hands.
So in this case, Tianji has no reason to jump back.
Then he doesn't have to worry about sniping them.
Sure enough, although the door next door was opened, there was no chaotic sound, and it seemed that the questioning was still going on.
Boom, boom, boom.
At this time, the sound of Shen Lian's door also rang.
"Who?"
Shen Lian pretended to be asleep and had just been woken up, and spoke.
"Government, open the door!"
There was a cold voice coming from outside.
"Government?"
Shen Lian muttered.
But he quickly put on his clothes, walked over, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, he saw two people outside.
A government official and a Beidou watcher.
Shen Lian saw them, and also saw two people standing at the door of other rooms, questioning the residents.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the same time, Shen Lian also saw what Si She and Tian Ji were talking about.
The eyes of several people met, but they quickly separated.
There is no communication with each other, they are just like strangers.
Shen Lian looked at the two people in front of him and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
The yamen servant looked at Shen Lian and asked, "What were you doing half an hour ago?"
"What are you doing? Of course you're sleeping."
Shen Lian said: "It was so dark half an hour ago, so naturally I went to sleep."
"Does anyone have proof?" the officer asked.
Shen Lian shook his head: "I'm just one person, no one can prove it."
The government officials were not surprised either.
When it comes to sleeping, unless there are two people, no one will really prove it.
He continued to ask: "Where are you from and what are you doing in Taihe City?"
Most of the people staying in the inn are passers-by.
This is the interrogation of Shen Lian's background.
Shen Lian had already thought about it very carefully before, and these were naturally within his expectations.
So he directly said what he had prepared.
"……business man?"
Hearing this, the yamen officer took another look at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian smiled and said: "In order to make a living, I have no choice but to run back and forth."
The government officials didn't say much. Nanzhao's contempt for merchants was lighter than that of Tang Dynasty.
He asked a few more questions, and Shen Lian was very thoughtful, so that he didn't find any problems.
At this time, the Yamen servant looked at the Beidou Watchers on the side and asked: "How is it?"
This person from Beidou Temple has been observing Qin Wenyuan. When Shen Lian was answering the question just now, he stared at Shen Lian without blinking, as if he wanted to read Shen Lian's mind.
But what a powerful mind Shen Lian is, and will he see through it?
So he gained nothing in the end.
He shook his head: "There is no evasion in his expression, nor does he feel guilty. It should be true."
"However, I always feel that his figure is somewhat similar."
"Similar in stature?"
When the officer heard what the members of Beidou Temple said, his brows suddenly furrowed.
A pair of eyes, like a hawk, stared straight at Shen Lian in an instant.
Shen Lian's heart also shivered slightly.
However, there was nothing unusual about it on the surface.
He looked at the two of them blankly and said, "Shape? What shape?"
He looked confused and confused.
That way, it doesn't look like he's pretending at all.
With Shen Lian's ability, it really couldn't be easier to deceive ordinary people.
The expression he showed at this time really showed his confusion to the extreme.
The yamen officer frowned and looked at the Beidou Guan members on the side, and said, "Did you remember it wrong?"
He felt that Shen Lian's confusion was not an act at all.
This member of Beidou Temple was also a little hesitant.
He frowned and thought for a while, then said: "The figure is similar, but the man was wearing night clothes, so I couldn't see his face clearly."
After thinking about it, he added: "But people of his stature can be seen everywhere on the street, so it's not too special."
The yamen officer thought about it and agreed.
Shen Lian is neither fat nor thin. Although he is slightly taller, he is not that rare.
Thinking about it this way, the searching look in his eyes became less
He asked: "Did you ever hear anything while you were sleeping?"
"movement?"
Shen Lian asked: "What's the movement?"
The yamen servant asked: "Have anyone walked by in the corridor, or heard the door open."
"This does not."
While thinking about it, Shen Lian said: "I sleep very heavily, like a dead pig. Unless I knock on the door like you just did, it's hard for me to hear."
The officer nodded.
Said: "Okay, nothing will happen to you. You are not allowed to go out. Otherwise, if you are caught, no one can save you!"
After saying that, they turned around and went to another room.
Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them leaving.
He glanced at Si She and the two of them.
They had just finished being questioned, and they looked at each other, but without any communication, they quickly looked away and each returned to the room.
Shen Lian was lying on the couch, quietly listening to the movement in the corridor.
These government officials were very serious, knocking on every room, and even those who felt suspicious went in and searched.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes while listening to these movements.
"This Beidou Temple's control over the government is really not weak."
"Being able to call these government officials out of bed in the middle of the night and conduct searches and inquiries so efficiently, and also making these government officials have no complaints and be very serious and meticulous..."
"This is not an easy thing."
Shen Lian himself is a prince.
He is very aware of the situation of grassroots government officials.
Even if the officials of Dali Temple wake them up in the middle of the night, they will complain.
He is very aware of the helplessness of social animals.
So he understands these government officials very well. As long as they don't delay their work, he doesn't mind letting them complain a little...
After complaining a few words, the resentment disappears and you can work well.
However, Qin Wenyuan, the government servant of Taihe City, did not find any complaints.
This looks even better than the yamen at Dali Temple.
But the government servants of Dali Temple are all carefully selected, and they are definitely the best.
Therefore, Shen Lian was really surprised that the Yamen servants of Dali Temple were defeated so easily.
He did not think that the government officials in Nanzhao could be better than the government officials in Dali Temple.
so……
"Is it faith?"
Shen Lian squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.
"Because of their faith, they regard Beidou Temple as a god."
"Because of your faith, you have no regrets about Beidou Temple?"
"Because of your faith, you don't dare to complain or delay, for fear of God's wrath?"
It seems that only faith can explain the behavior of these government officials.
If this is the case, then the Beidou Temple's infiltration into Nanzhao is even more terrifying than Wenyuan imagined!
Once everyone in the government is a believer in the Beidou Temple and has mastered the faith, then the Beidou Society will completely control everything!
King Nanzhao is the Tianshu of Beidou Society!
Officials and ordinary soldiers and government officials are once again controlled by faith!
Then this Nanzhao...isn't it a large-scale Beidou Club?
Shen Lian's pupils couldn't help but tremble slightly.
At this moment, he had a completely new understanding of Nanzhao and the Beidou Society.
And no one would have imagined that Shen Lian made these judgments just because of an interrogation!
Shen Lian has been a human being for two lifetimes and has seen too many things.
He has seen countless magical, bizarre, normal, abnormal, and insane things.
So to other people, one thing, is just one thing.
For Shen Lian, one thing may lead to countless possibilities.
Just like this cross-examination.
For Si She, it may have been an interrogation that made him nervous.
But for Shen Lian, he was able to infer more behind-the-scenes things based on the identity, attitude, status, etc. of the people he questioned.
And thus learned about the deeper relationship between Beidou Society and Nanzhao.
This is absolutely impossible for anyone to do.
Even Beichen would never have imagined that a normal interrogation would allow Shen Lian to deduce so many secrets.
Shen Lian continued to think while listening to the sounds coming from the corridor.
"If Nanzhao is a large-scale Beidou society, it will only be more difficult for the coalition forces to capture Nanzhao."
