"So I have arranged several lines of defense. Even if the enemy breaks through your line of defense, there will still be other lines of defense to keep an eye on."
"Therefore, you don't have to worry. After you left last night, I also asked someone to notify Sishe."
"So Sishe has already sent people to follow that person."
"I think it won't be long before that person's secret will be completely revealed."
"Their plan..."
Shen Lian raised the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "It will also be completely exposed!"
Time went like this, two hours passed.
Shen Lian did not leave here, but stayed here waiting for news from the Shadow Guard.
The Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is about to be held, but the enemy's plan is not yet known.
Therefore, Shen Lian needs to be here to know the enemy's situation as soon as possible.
So as to take countermeasures.
There isn't much time left for him.
Boom, boom, boom.
At this time, the door was suddenly knocked.
Han Min quickly looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian nodded slightly and asked, "Who?"
"It's me, Si Snake."
A snake's voice sounded outside the door.
When Han Min heard that it was a snake, his eyes immediately lit up.
He quickly opened the door.
I saw Si She, dressed in casual clothes, striding into the room.
Han Min quickly asked: "How is it?"
Sishe nodded heavily: "I discovered their secret!"
Hearing Si She's words, Han Min suddenly became excited.
He quickly asked: "What do they want to do? Is there really a problem with the caravan member who left?"
Sishe looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian nodded.
Sishe then spoke and said: "The leaving caravan members are from Baekje."
"According to Lord Shen's order, I arranged shadow guards to monitor every caravan."
"Then we discovered that a man from Baekje disguised himself as someone else and left the restaurant openly."
"Because his appearance has changed and his behavior is aboveboard, it is difficult for others to pay special attention to him."
Han Min nodded and said, "We never noticed him."
Sishe smiled and said: "Fortunately, our shadow guards are watching from inside, so if they make any movement, we will know it."
"After that, we followed him secretly to see where he went."
Shen Lian sat on the stool. He picked up the tea cup, shook it gently, and stared at Si Snake's report seriously.
Si She said: "This man is very alert."
"After he left the restaurant, he circled back and forth in several alleys."
"It was as if he already knew he was being followed."
"But I know that we will never be discovered by him, so I judge that he is testing to see if anyone is following him."
"Finally, after five circles, he seemed to finally be sure that no one was following him, so he finally changed direction."
"Then, the official saw him entering a pawn shop in Kangpingfang."
Han Min asked: "Pawn shop?"
Sishe took out the map of Chang'an and opened it. He searched for a moment, then pointed to a pawn shop on the east side of Kangpingfang and said, "That's it."
Shen Lian looked over.
He immediately said: "The pawn shop faces the street and is connected in all directions."
"In case of an accident, you can escape immediately!"
"Kangpingfang, on the other hand, is not a very busy place. It is a relatively quiet place. It is not easy to be discovered by hiding here!"
Finally, Shen Lian directly concluded: "This is a suitable hiding place for secret guards!"
He looked at Han Min and said: "It is more suitable for hiding than the Beidou Society stronghold that was destroyed by the group before."
Han Min has also experienced many major cases, so once Shen Lian spoke, he understood what Shen Lian meant.
He said: "So, maybe this pawnshop is the Beidou Society, or a secret guard stronghold of a certain country?"
Shen Lian nodded: "Nothing unexpected, that's it!"
He looked at Si She and said, "What then?"
Han Min was also busy listening carefully.
Si She said: "After he entered the pawn shop, the lower official followed him up."
"Xiaguan ran to the roof of the shop, trying to secretly see what they were talking about, but he saw that they had actually left the pawn shop."
"The pawn shop was connected to a backyard. After they entered the backyard, they walked into the cellar."
"My subordinates immediately judged that the cellar might be a secret passage connecting to other places."
"So my subordinates looked around from a high place, and were eventually discovered by the subordinates... They appeared in another mansion."
When Han Min heard this, he couldn't help but said: "The pawn shop is not their final hiding place!"
"These guys are really cunning!"
Si She said, "That's right. If the official hadn't followed closely, I would have lost him."
Shen Lian looked as usual.
He smiled and said: "In any case, they are all guys who have been hiding in Chang'an for a long time and have not been discovered by the imperial court."
"If they didn't even have this ability, they would have been discovered long ago."
Sishe and Han Min nodded in sympathy.
The caution of these thieves has really reached a limit!
After leaving the restaurant, regardless of whether there was anyone following him, he walked around the same place three times, and then after making sure no one was following him, he went to the pawn shop!
The location of the pawn shop is concealed enough.
The pawn shop they went to was enough to be regarded as a qualified stronghold!
But in the end, the pawn shop was just a front.
Their real stronghold is another mansion they want to go to through a secret passage!
The entire process was filled with extreme vigilance and caution.
No one can find any fault with it.
If Si She hadn't been keeping an eye on them, they would never have discovered such a secret stronghold!
Shen Lian gently shook the teacup and watched the tea leaves rolling up and down in the water. Qin Wenyuan said slowly: "Go on."
Sishe nodded without any hesitation.
He said: "After my subordinates discovered that their real stronghold was in that mansion, they secretly went to that mansion."
"The mansion is very well guarded. There are constant patrols. The subordinates are also very experienced. They were almost discovered!"
"But fortunately everything was a near miss, and my subordinates finally followed them to a room."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Then, the subordinate ran to the roof and secretly listened to their conversation."
When Han Min heard this, he quickly asked: "What did they say?"
Shen Lian also looked at Si She.
Si She said, "I didn't listen completely."
"Because it's windy outside and there are some dangers on the roof, so my subordinates are listening while guarding against being discovered."
"I heard it intermittently, but I know more or less."
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Master Shen, this person pretending to be a caravan from Baekje is from Japan."
"Japanese country?"
Han Min was startled.
"How could it be the Japanese country?"
He was extremely surprised.
"Although the Japanese country is not in our alliance of countries, it has shown a sufficient attitude towards the Tang Dynasty."
"And not long ago, an envoy from the Japanese country came to Tang Dynasty."
"Japan and the Tang Dynasty are not enemies, so why did he destroy the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce?"
Han Min didn't understand very much.
Sishe blinked and said, "They didn't say that, and I don't know either."
As for Shen Lian, he just sneered: "There's nothing I can't understand!"
"The Japanese country has ambitions."
"Although it sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty to pay homage, it did not regard the Tang Dynasty as its master."
"On the contrary, they came to worship just to steal their masters, and then use the results of stealing their masters from the Tang Dynasty to strengthen themselves."
"Finally, counterattack against Datang!"
"Therefore, under such circumstances, how could Japanese pots allow the Tang Dynasty to become stronger and stronger?"
"If the Tang Dynasty is really powerful to a certain extent, far beyond the range of the Japanese country, how can the Japanese country counterattack the Tang Dynasty?"
"So, I think it is normal for the Japanese country to do such a thing."
"Nothing to doubt!"
Listening to Shen Lian's words, Sishe and Han Min couldn't help but look at each other.
They suddenly felt that Mr. Shen seemed to have some opinions about the Japanese country!
Although they didn't think Shen Lian had any contact with the Japanese country.
But I just felt that Master Shen's tone was full of indifference.
That was the first time they heard such a tone from Shen Lian's mouth!
Sishe took a deep breath and said: "Perhaps what Lord Shen said is true, the Japanese envoys came just to steal the army..."
"Anyway, no matter what the reason is."
"I can confirm that they are from the Japanese country!"
"And the fact that the Japanese country has such a stronghold also shows that they have long had plans for the Tang Dynasty!"
Han Min nodded heavily.
"Facts speak louder than words!"
"This Japanese country is really insidious, cunning, and extremely abominable!"
"Fortunately, I was very polite before sending the envoy to Tang Dynasty, but now it seems that I was wrong to be polite!"
Shen Lian smiled and said: "You should be polite, otherwise it will make people think that the Tang Dynasty looks down on people from small countries!"
"But the politeness is superficial."
"I absolutely cannot have any trust in them!"
Han Min nodded: "Xiaoguan understands. When Xiaguan sees them again in the future, they will definitely feel the hypocritical kindness under Xiaguan's cold heart."
Shen Lian was almost amused by Han Min's words.
He shook his head, then looked at Si She and said, "Go on, what's their conspiracy?"
Hearing this, Jingzhao Yin and Han Min also looked at Si She.
He said: "Sishe, please stop being so secretive and tell me what the conspiracy of these insidious and cunning guys is."
"What on earth do they want to do?"
Si She smiled and didn't delay any longer.
He said: "My subordinates are on the roof. Although they stumble when they hear it, they still know their general plan."
He looked at Shen Lian and said: "Master Shen, they want to assassinate people from other caravans on the day of the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce, causing chaos in the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce, and thereby destroying the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce."
Hearing Si She's words, Han Min's eyes widened suddenly.
"They are so cowardly!"
Han Min said angrily.
However, Shen Lian was not surprised at all.
He knew that there were only so many ways to destroy the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, he had already guessed what the Japanese would do.
He said: "How to implement it specifically?"
Si She said: "The Chamber of Commerce of All Nations will be held for seven days."
"Those thieves in Japan said that once the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is actually convened, the longer it takes action, the less effective it will be."
"Once all countries have tasted the sweetness, even if the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is destroyed, they will still persevere!"
"So, the Japanese thieves set the time for the first day of the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce."
"They think the first day is the best time."
"As long as we take action on that day, all countries will suffer heavy losses without tasting any benefits."
"Thus, they will not dare to continue convening and completely destroy the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce."
Han Min's eyes were cold and he said coldly: "They are really insidious!"
"On the first day of action, our Chamber of Commerce of All Nations has already been convened. We cannot postpone it even if we want to, and can only be forced to interrupt it."
"And once it is interrupted, a murder occurs on the day when the All Nations Chamber of Commerce is held. This will be a huge blow to the reputation of Datang, and will also make caravan members from other countries doubt Datang's ability."
"How can these Japanese thieves be so cunning and vicious!"
"On the surface, they sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty to our country, and they acted very respectfully, but secretly, they were full of such malice."
"Now when I think about their respect and politeness, I feel sick!"
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Don't be angry, because these guys are so angry that it's not worth it!"
"We will find a way to destroy their long-planned plot."
"And if the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations can be successfully held, and if the Tang Dynasty becomes more powerful, that will be the biggest blow to the Japanese country!"
Han Min nodded heavily.
He said: "I didn't have so many ideas before. I just thought that if someone destroyed the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce, where would my reputation in the lobby go?"
"But now, I am completely determined!"
"This is no longer a matter of face!"
"If I don't protect the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce and allow the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce to convene smoothly, I will die of frustration!"
"I have seen hypocritical people, but this is the first time I have seen such a hypocritical country!"
Shen Lian smiled and said: "If you live a long time, you will see more things you never thought of!"
He was not as embarrassed or angry as Han Min.
After all, no one knows better than him what the country of Japan is like.
……………………
Shen Lian would not be surprised if the Japanese country breaks through the bottom line.
He looked at Si She and said, "Do you know how they are going to do it?"
Si She said: "They want to carry out an assassination that night."
"And they also figured out how to carry weapons secretly and how to make an alibi."
"My subordinates eavesdropped on their plans, and the more they listened, the more frightened they became."
"They planned it very well."
"Almost every detail has been considered, and they specifically mentioned the young master."
"Me?" Shen Lian was surprised.
…………
Sishe nodded and said: "They know that the young master is an expert in solving cases, so they know... they can only succeed if they can hide it from Master Shen's investigation."
"Therefore, they studied many cases that the young master had solved, trying to find the aspects that the young master was not good at, and tried every means to complete the details of their crimes."
