It seems that they are worried that their breathing will affect the final result.
In this way, they watched the ripples on the lake surface swinging round and round.
Watching bubbles appear constantly on the lake surface.
Finally, they saw a figure emerging directly from the lake.
The man's head emerged from the lake and he shouted happily: "Your Majesty, there are many boxes at the bottom of the lake, and those boxes are filled with copper coins!"
"Based on the box, it's at least hundreds of millions of copper coins!"
Brush it!
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes widened.
Fang Xuanling subconsciously stroked his beard and said: "Sure enough, it's really at the bottom of the lake!"
Changsun Wuji also had a look of shock and shock on his face: "Those military salaries that have disappeared for ten years are actually hidden under our noses, even in the palace!"
Bai Yanguan couldn't help but said: "Is the most dangerous place the safest place? At that time, I never thought that the disappeared military pay would be in the palace. The first thing I eliminated was the palace!"
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but look complicated at this moment.
Obviously, Li Shimin never dreamed that the military pay he had been looking for for so long would be hidden in his palace.
This made him not know what emotion to use to express his current mood.
The military pay was actually so close to him.
He even passed by the military pay several times.
But he didn't notice at all!
What a good plan!
He knew that he would be so angry that he would turn Chang'an City upside down, but he would never turn the imperial palace upside down.
Because he never thought that the lost military salary was in his harem.
At this moment, the officials couldn't help but whisper.
……………………
"It's dark under the lamp. Isn't this just darkness under the lamp?"
"This is so audacious, hiding it in the palace!"
"Who would have thought that a thief could be so cunning as to hide his general's salary in the most unlikely of places?"
“Now I completely understand the saying ‘the most dangerous place is the safest place’!”
The officials were talking a lot, but Li Shimin remained calm and silent.
Others also gradually stopped talking.
They secretly glanced at Li Shimin's face and did not dare to speak again.
…………
They knew that this news was by no means good news for Li Shimin.
After all, this is simply treating Li Shimin like a monkey!
Where should I hide it? Hiding it in Li Shimin’s house!
What is the difference between this and ridicule?
Shen Lian said: "It seems that all the military pay was here. It has been sinking at the bottom of the lake for ten years, and today it finally sees the light of day!"
After speaking, he looked at Li Yuanchang and said, "Your Highness, King of Han, is there anything else you want to say now?"
Li Yuanchang's face turned pale.
His face was bloodless.
But he still gritted his teeth and said: "Master Shen is really powerful. I am very happy to find the salary that has been missing for ten years. This is a good thing!"
Shen Lian sighed.
He looked at Li Yuanchang and said: "This is the situation, and His Highness the King of Han is still pretending to be stupid."
"That's all, since His Highness the King of Han wants to pretend to be stupid until the end, I'd better provide the final ironclad evidence."
"I hope His Highness the King of Han has seen this irrefutable evidence..."
Shen Lian's eyes flashed, he stared at Li Yuanchang, and said meaningfully: "You can still be in the mood to act stupid."
"Iron proof, what ironclad evidence do you have?"
When Li Yuanchang heard Shen Lian's words, his face suddenly became shocked.
The nails hidden in his sleeves dug into his flesh.
The pain penetrated into the brain instantly.
This kind of pain can barely help him stabilize his emotions.
Keep yourself from completely losing your composure.
But the people present are all fine people, the kind of people who observe meticulously and meticulously.
Therefore, Li Yuanchang's reaction was also taken into consideration by them.
Even though Li Yuanchang managed to calm down his emotions, this subtle change could never escape the sight of Fang Xuanling and others.
And this also made Fang Xuanling and the others understand that it seemed that Li Yuanchang... really had a problem.
Shen Lian didn't care about Li Yuanchang's reaction. He just said calmly: "Let's not talk about anything else. Just moving hundreds of thousands of dollars is not an easy task."
"And this Hanfang Palace is a bit special because of its function."
"Anyone who appears rashly will attract the attention of many people. After all, no one will come here for a long time."
"So, if you want to move these wages here without attracting the attention of others, there is only one way..."
Shen Lian looked at Li Yuanchang and said, "That means coming in with a legitimate identity and in a fair manner!"
"But what kind of identity is a legitimate identity?"
Li Yuanchang almost held his breath.
Shen Lian smiled and said, "That is naturally in line with the identity of Hanfang Palace."
"Then, that's the identity of being punished to come here to reflect!"
As soon as these words came out.
Fang Xuanling and others were all moved in their hearts.
"Yes, if you are punished to reflect here, because of His Majesty's order, then no one will feel anything wrong."
"Indeed, no one usually comes to Hanfang Palace at all. For a place where almost no one comes, how can someone come rashly without attracting attention? But if they come with His Majesty's order, then no one will Care more!"
"So that's it!"
"And because no one usually comes here, it is absolutely safe to hide the money here. After all, the people who come here come for self-reflection. No one is in the mood to go boating on the lake, and once they come, they will Everyone wants to leave as soon as possible, no one likes it here, so hiding your money here is indeed the safest!"
"If you put it this way, no place is as safe as here!"
"No wonder no one discovered these wages in ten years, that's why!"
Everyone was talking a lot.
When Li Yuanchang heard their discussion, his expression also changed.
Shen Lian continued: "So, it's very simple to know who hid the salary here!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shen Lian looked at Li Yuanchang and said calmly: "You only need to check who was here to reflect on it at that time, that is, the day or two when the salary was lost!"
"After all, after the money was lost, the court responded very quickly. His Majesty was furious. Everyone was searching for the money. I think... the thief didn't dare to waste time. After all, if he was slow, people might find traces of the money. …”
"So, at the latest, and on the second day after the money is lost, all the money must be hidden here, otherwise, the risk will be too high."
Everyone nodded.
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that it would be so easy to solve this case. The key lies in a record."
At this time, Bai Yanguan shook his head and said, "Master Fang, what you said is wrong."
"Master Fang thinks it's easy. That's because Shen Lian guided us step by step to get here. We are looking at this case as an outsider."
"But if we investigate on our own... Mr. Fang should know what happened in the past. In ten years, we have not solved the case."
Fang Xuanling thought for a while, nodded and said: "Master Bai is right, Master Qin is still the master in solving cases!"
Li Shimin seemed to be in no mood to discuss the difficulty of the case with others. He said directly: "Come here and get the records!"
Soon, someone brought Hanfang Hall’s record book over.
Li Shimin checked the record book and opened it.
He turned directly to the days when his salary was lost ten years ago.
Then look up.
After a while, Li Shimin raised his head, looking at Li Yuanchang in front of him with eyes full of disappointment, and said: "The day before the salary was lost, you came to Hanfang Hall, and the day after the salary was lost, you left here."
"Li Yuanchang, I need your explanation."
Li Shimin's words were like the straw that broke the camel's back.
In an instant, Li Yuanchang's face turned pale, without any color at all.
His hands were trembling, and at this moment, his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He subconsciously stepped back, his head shaking continuously.
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain.
But for a long time, no sound came out.
He didn't know how to explain it.
Because there's really no way to explain it.
Hanfang Palace is different from other palaces. Normally no one would come here, but on those days, they just happened to come by themselves.
And if you want to hide so much salary at the bottom of the lake, you can't hide it from yourself!
So, this is basically ironclad proof.
No matter how he explains it, it won't work.
Everyone looked at Li Yuanchang's pale face and his desperate expression, and couldn't help but shake their heads.
At this time, they already understood everything without Li Yuanchang saying anything.
All of this was indeed done by Li Yuanchang.
Solid evidence!
Shen Lian looked at Li Yuanchang and said calmly: "If you can think of hiding your salary in the palace, you have to say that although this method sounds a bit crazy, it is really wonderful."
"But you probably never thought that after you hid your salary here, you would never have the chance to take it away."
"You underestimated His Majesty's control over the palace."
"At that time, His Majesty had just ascended the throne and his foundation was not yet stable. There were all kinds of people in the palace, so you could bribe others and hide your salary here."
"But soon, His Majesty took the throne and wiped out all the people with problems in the palace. This made it impossible for you to find any chance to take away the money."
"And this, I think, should make you unable to sleep well for ten years, right?"
Li Yuanchang raised his head sharply and stared at Shen Lian with his eyes.
Just listen to Shen Lian say: "After all, you can't guarantee that no one will discover the salary at the bottom of the lake."
"Although not many people come to Hanfang Palace, on average, one or two people come to reflect on it every month."
"Although these people who come here to reflect will not be in the mood to go rafting, but what if?"
"And you can't afford to bet on this eventuality, because once someone discovers the traces of the salary, you know that you will definitely be discovered!"
"After all, the records of that year are enough to prove everything."
"So you desperately hope to get your salary away. Only in this way can you sleep peacefully."
Li Yuanchang gritted his teeth and did not say a word for a long time.
Shen Lian sighed: "It's sad."
"The fact that you were able to commit a major crime of stealing money without being discovered by anyone is enough to prove your wisdom and strategy."
"But it's a pity that all your wisdom and strategies were used on the wrong path!"
"I think you should have regretted it, right? After all, you stole the money, but you couldn't use any of it. Instead, you had to endure the torture of being discovered day and night. I admire you for not breaking down."
Li Yuanchang was silent for a moment after listening to Shen Lian's words, and finally spoke.
His voice was hoarse and his face was heavy, and he said: "This time, you deliberately gave me a chance, right? To make me feel that I have a chance to take away my salary?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Li Yuanchang's words.
Some of them did not understand what Li Yuanchang meant.
What is the opportunity Shen Lian gave Li Yuanchang?
Isn't Shen Lian just solving crimes?
Why did you give Li Yuanchang a chance?
Then, they heard Shen Lian say calmly: "You are really smart, you can see through my thoughts at a glance."
He said calmly: "Yes, the main reason why I showed up in person is to create opportunities for you."
"I have been away from Chang'an for several months, and now that I am back, I will definitely attract a lot of people's attention."
"In addition, the case I am judging is Lord Bai's case, which will attract Quan Changan's attention even more."
"After all, whether it is the first case when I return in a few months, or the case of whether Mr. Bai is guilty or not, they are all too attractive."
"So, as long as I show up, I will definitely attract everyone's attention, and I think this should be the only chance for you."
"After all, the moment you took action against Mr. Bai, you knew that once Mr. Bai was not guilty, Mr. Bai would probably continue the investigation, and sooner or later you would be found."
"So, you must take away the salary before Lord Bai finds you. Only in this way can you be invincible."
"And the opportunity is only this time, only this time, His Majesty has also left the palace, and everyone has gathered at Dali Temple. What you do is the opportunity that is most easily ignored!"
"I think you are so smart that you won't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"result……"
Shen Lian raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "You really seized this opportunity."
When Shen Lian's voice fell, everyone present couldn't help being shocked.
They all looked at Shen Lian with wide eyes.
It wasn't until this moment that they realized that... Shen Lian had actually set up such a trap!
It turns out that Shen Lian showed up today and was presiding over the case today. All this... was to create an opportunity for Li Yuanchang to take action.
All for the chance to catch a thief and take advantage of him!
Li Yuanchang, on the other hand, did not see through Shen Lian's plan at all.
He resolutely jumped into the trap prepared by Shen Lian.
Now, everything is a foregone conclusion.
Li Yuanchang completely lost to Shen Lian!
He had been planning for so long, and even Guan Bai Yan was plotted against him.
But in the end, he lost to Shen Lian, who had only been back for a few days!
The gap between the two can be seen to be worlds apart!
