"Besides, Miss Wu is very smart and thinks very correctly."
Wu Meiniang looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian smiled and said, "Generally, after a thief takes advantage of a kind and honest person, he will completely reveal his true nature."
……………………
"So, he knew very well that the groom definitely didn't want to be exposed, because once exposed, the groom would have nothing."
"Therefore, this thief, relying on this alone, can firmly control the groom without giving him any money at all!"
"Next, if this thief really wants to destroy the Chamber of Commerce, then he can completely control the groom. He will definitely not only let him send threatening letters, but may even let him attack you, Master Wu."
…………
The groom's expression changed.
He shook his head hastily: "I can't do it. Mr. Wu has been so kind to me. How could I do such a thing?"
Shen Lian looked at him and said, "Even if you are exposed, you won't?"
The groom hesitated for a moment, but then nodded quickly: "Although I am eager to save my son, I am not completely arrogant."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "What about some information that asked you to betray Mr. Wu? For example, when, where and where will Mr. Wu go and what places will he pass by?"
"this……"
The groom hesitated for a moment and said, "This should be nothing, right?"
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Look, if you put it another way, you can do it."
"But do you know that as long as those thieves are strong enough, as long as they know Master Wu's whereabouts, do you think it will be difficult for them to ambush and assassinate Master Wu with their abilities?"
The groom's expression suddenly changed.
The warrior Yan also felt frightened for a while.
Shen Lian smiled and said: "That's the fact. If the thief is really strong enough, he can do this behind his back!"
"But he didn't do that."
"This shows that, at least for this person, that's all he can do."
Shen Lian looked at the warrior Yan and said, "Master Wu, you don't have to worry about the threatening letter."
"If my guess is correct."
"The person who wrote the threatening letter either has a grudge against Master Wu and does not want Master Wu to make meritorious deeds, so he wants to scare Master Wu away in this way."
"Either people from other countries don't want our Chamber of Commerce to be held, but they are probably just a few spies. Their strength is limited, and they can't do anything else except use this method of intimidation."
"So, whoever did it."
"For them, that's all they can do."
The warrior Yan heard what Shen Lian said.
I also felt relieved.
He said: "Since Mr. Shen has said this, I can rest assured."
"If it's just a few petty thieves, I'm not worried."
Shen Lian nodded.
He said: "But Mr. Wu cannot let down his guard."
"When traveling normally, it's best to bring some escorts."
"These are extraordinary times. The Wanbang Chamber of Commerce led by Mr. Wu is now attracting much attention."
"At this time, no accidents can happen."
"So Mr. Wu, you still have to pay attention to some personal safety."
Wu Meiniang also said at this time: "I have also advised my father many times."
"But my dad always said that this is the emperor's feet and nothing will happen to him, so he didn't listen to me at all."
Shen Lian looked at the warrior Yan and said: "Master Wu, the emperor's feet are true. We are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid of what happens."
"So, the necessary protective force is still needed."
The warrior Yan heard what Shen Lian said.
He thought for a moment, then nodded heavily.
He said: "Since Mr. Shen has said so, then I will listen to Mr. Shen!"
"I will arrange some people to protect me. I am not afraid that someone will harm me, but I am afraid that they will not take action."
"As long as they take action, I will definitely let them go without any return."
Shen Lian smiled: "They saw Master Wu's guard and knew that Master Wu was on guard, so they probably wouldn't take action again."
"Unless they think that after taking action in Chang'an City, they can still escape the pursuit of the Tang Dynasty."
"However, I don't think they have such confidence."
Samurai Yan also laughed, and he said confidently: "I hope they have such confidence."
Shen Lian waved his hand and asked the groom to take him down.
After the groom was taken away, Shen Lian looked at the warrior Yan and asked, "This groom is a servant of the Wu family. Although he has made some mistakes, at least so far, he has not caused any major problems."
"So, his punishment can be light or severe."
"Master Wu, do you want me to give him a heavier punishment or a lighter punishment?"
Warrior Yan understood what Shen Lian meant.
As the master, and also the person being calculated, my attitude is very important to the groom's sentencing.
He pondered for a moment and then sighed: "Actually, he has always done very well before. He was diligent and worked very hard."
"Otherwise, Wu Meiniang wouldn't be willing to help him fight Master Shen."
"It's just...he doted on his son too much, and he was harmed by his son..."
"He has been with me for so many years, and he has worked hard without any credit. I really can't bear to see him spend a few years in jail, so..."
Warrior Yan said: "Master Shen, please give me a lighter sentence."
"He didn't really cause me any harm. I don't think there's any need to punish him too harshly."
Wu Meiniang also nodded.
When she faced the groom before, she was very angry.
But at this moment, he also pleaded for the groom: "Master Shen, although he was confused, we were not harmed after all, and he was excusable, so I ask Master Shen to be given a lighter sentence."
Shen Lian smiled.
He knew that Warrior Yi and Wu Meiniang were not really cruel people.
He said: "I understand."
"He will be beaten a few times, locked up for a month or two, and then let out."
"I think if he is locked up for a few months, it may be a good thing for him and for his son who only knows how to grow old."
"Perhaps, after he is released from prison, his son who only knows how to gnaw at old age will also use his own hands to create wealth."
The warrior nodded: "I will also arrange for people to rescue his son later."
"Then……"
He sighed: "I will completely cut off contact with them. Although I can forgive him, I don't worry about him working in my house anymore."
"Rescuing his son and interceding for him will be my last help to him."
Shen Lian smiled: "I believe that if he has a grateful heart, he will be grateful to Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu, you have done a good enough job."
When the warrior Yan heard Shen Lian's words, he felt a little better.
He raised his hands and looked at Shen Lian, and said seriously: "Thanks to Mr. Shen for helping me today, otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark."
"I won't say thank you for your kindness. If Mr. Shen gives you an order someday, I will definitely not refuse."
Shen Lian smiled and said, "We are colleagues and we should help each other."
"And this matter is also one of my responsibilities at Dali Temple, so I should take action."
The warrior Yan said: "Master Shen, it's almost time to eat. I've prepared a little wine, and I hope you can show your respect to Master Shen."
Shen Lian thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I have something to say to Mr. Wu, so I won't refuse."
Warrior Yi laughed: "That's how it should be!"
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Master Shen, please."
Shen Lian nodded.
Just walked forward.
Wu Meiniang said at this time: "Dad, I want to go too."
The warrior frowned and said: "We are done with the work here, so you can rest assured and go home quickly."
"Master Shen and I are drinking, why are you joining in the fun?"
Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes and said, "If I don't go, Miss Wang will be very uncomfortable as a woman."
"Miss Wang is here with Mr. Shen, and she is here specifically to help dad. Dad, you don't want to invite Miss Wang, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the warrior Yan hurriedly said: "How could I forget Miss Wang?"
Wang Xiaohua waved her hands hurriedly and said: "I can't help you much, so I won't join in the fun."
But the warrior Yan said: "Miss Wang and Lord Shen came together. Their original intention was to help me. This is enough."
"And I believe Master Shen asked you to come here specifically because he definitely believes in your abilities, so no matter what, Miss Wang will reward you."
Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but look at Shen Lian with some distress.
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Xiao Hua, let's go too. I just have something to do next, and I have to ask you for help."
Wang Xiaohua nodded after hearing Shen Lian's words.
She can refuse Samurai Yu's invitation.
But I will never disobey Shen Lian's intention.
Wu Meiniang directly took Wang Xiaohua's arm and said: "Dad, you have to let me go now, right? If I don't talk to Miss Wang, she will feel uncomfortable alone."
Samurai Yu had no choice but to deal with his eccentric daughter.
Wu Meiniang is usually very well-behaved.
Very understanding.
But once you really want to do something.
But it's not something that the samurai can stop.
Warrior Yan looked at Shen Lian apologetically and said, "Master Shen, I made you laugh."
Shen Lian smiled, shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, this is not a formal meeting, we are just having a casual meal, Mr. Wu doesn't need to think too much."
The warrior Yan felt relieved when he saw that Shen Lian really didn't mind.
Several people quickly arrived at a restaurant not far away.
The warrior said directly to the waiter: "Old place, old rules."
It was obvious that he came here often to eat and entertain others.
So when the clerk heard it, he knew what Samurai Yu meant.
He said directly: "Please tell me objectively, good wine and good food will be here soon."
Warrior Yan led Shen Lian to the second floor. As he walked, he said: "This restaurant has some special dishes, especially the hand-caught mutton. It tastes amazing. Master Shen must try it soon." "
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Master Wu recommends it so, it must be delicious, so I won't be polite in a moment."
The two talked and laughed.
The two women behind were also talking in low voices.
Wu Meiniang looked at Shen Lian, who spoke calmly, and asked curiously: "Miss Wang, what kind of person is Lord Shen?"
Wang Xiaohua relied on a woman's intuition and felt that Wu Meiniang's question was a bit unusual.
However, he couldn't help but praise Shen Lian and said: "Master Shen is certainly the best person in the world."
"He is wise, smart, kind, and tough."
"I feel that all the praise in the world cannot be overstated if it falls on Mr. Shen."
Wu Meiniang blinked her eyes.
She said: "Miss Wang, you are exaggerating."
Wang Xiaohua raised her white chin slightly and said, "But this is the fact."
Several people entered the private room and quickly took their seats.
Shen Lian and Samurai Yi were next to each other. Next to Samurai Yi was Wu Meiniang, and next to him was Wang Xiaohua.
Then the two girls were next to each other.
There was a person between Shen Lian and Wu Meiniang, thus avoiding Shen Lian's troubles.
Shen Lian looked at the warrior Yan and said, "Master Wu, before eating, there is something I want to talk to Master Wu."
Warrior Yan looked at Shen Lian curiously and said, "What does Master Shen want to talk about?"
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "Although Mr. Wu's threatening letter this time is not threatening at all."
"However, I still want to remind Mr. Wu to be careful."
"question……"
He said meaningfully: "It may not come from outside."
Warrior Yan's eyes widened when he heard Shen Lian's words.
Wu Meiniang and Wang Xiaohua were also shocked.
The warrior Yi quickly looked at Shen Lian and asked, "Master Shen, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Lian said: "Master Wu, don't be nervous, please listen to me slowly."
"The Wanbang Chamber of Commerce was promoted by Mr. Wu, so Gu Dan should know the significance of the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce best."
"For ordinary people, the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is a good thing that they can freely buy and sell goods from other countries."
"However, for various countries, the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is just a way to completely unite each other."
"This Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is like a ribbon, tying all the countries together tightly, making the alliance of our countries even closer."
"Not only the military alliance, but also the economic and people-to-people contacts are more closely related and intimate."
"This will undoubtedly greatly enhance the cohesion of the alliance of countries, and will shock and horrify many countries who see the joke of the alliance!"
"so……"
Shen Lian looked at the warrior Yan and said: "Master Wu thinks that the countries outside the alliance, especially those countries that once worked with Nanzhao to harm our Tang Dynasty, will they be willing to see this scene?"
The warrior frowned.
Wu Meiniang was very smart, and she also heard the implication of Shen Lian's words at this time.
This made her eyes look worried.
Shen Lian looked at the warrior Yan and said: "They will definitely not want to see this scene, so don't think too much, they will definitely find a way to destroy our Wanbang Chamber of Commerce."
"There is nothing they can do to stop the coalition of nations from attacking Nanzhao. After all, the coalition of nations has millions of troops, and no one is qualified to stop it!"
