Big Dipper, this organization is codenamed after the star serial number, so let’s call it the Big Dipper Organization.
As for the three known people in the Beidou organization, they are Yuheng, Tianquan, and Tianji, and they are already dead.
Among the other three, Sanxing, Kaiyang, Tianshu, and Yaoguang, Kaiyang was held hostage by the Cui family with the fifth surname Qiwang. He learned this from the intelligence detected by Wu Ma.
Tianshu, on the other hand, is still entangled with Bingzhou and Chenlong.
Fluctuating light...this star has disappeared.
Then the last star, Beichen, is also the most mysterious. According to the information that Chen Long has had with them for many years, they have more or less information about the other six stars, but Beichen alone has a mystery from the beginning to the end.
It is as if he does not exist in this world, there is no trace, and he never cooperates with other six stars.
So……
Such a mysterious Yixing may even be the founder of the Beidou Organization. Will the information be revealed by a soldier?
"It's probably a trap."
Shen Lian chuckled lightly.
But he still took two pieces of information to heart.
These are also the only two clues he currently knows about Beichen.
One is a Taoist priest and the other is Guiguzi!
What does Taoist mean?
Does it mean that Beichen is a Taoist priest, or does he often wear Taoist uniforms? Or is it related to Taoist priests?
There are too few clues to be sure.
As for Guiguzi, that's all there is to say.
How could Shen Lian not know Guiguzi’s name!
The founder of the Guigu Sect and the Strategist!
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as long as his students came out, they would cause a bloody storm.
Whether it is Su Qin, Zhang Yi, or Sun Bin and Pang Juan, they either have unparalleled strategies or have godlike military skills. In short... this is a super ruthless character!
Mysterious and powerful!
If the Gui Valley does not come out, the world will be safe, but if the Gui Valley comes out, the world will be in chaos. This has become a fact.
But... Qin Shihuang of the Qin State had already burned books to harass Confucian scholars, and the books of hundreds of scholars had been burned long ago. Hundreds of years have passed, will there really be any descendants of Guigu?
Shen Lian frowned slightly and began to think carefully.
As he thought more deeply, it was possible.
He followed the current and thought of a new family. During the Warring States Period, strategists were good at reasoning, understood the power of hardness and softness, were proficient in the art of vertical and horizontal manipulation, and had unique wisdom...
If Beichen of the Beidou Organization is a descendant of Guigu, then the person who founded the Beidou Organization is most likely a member of the Strategist Family.
Maybe... Beichen is the founder of the Beidou Organization, so while he is a descendant of Guigu, he is also a member of the Strategist Family. This is also possible.
Strategists use the heaven and earth as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces. Under this concept, all the previous things such as the locust plague that disrupted the order of Chang'an City make sense.
Thinking of this, Shen Lian narrowed his eyes: "Zonghengjia... If this is really the case, this will really be fun."
Strategist, the ancestor of conspiracy.
Guiguzi is the ancestor among ancestors.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Now that Guiguzi is mentioned, the Beidou organization is really becoming more and more clear.
Shen Lian chuckled. He didn't like playing conspiracy very much, but he liked playing with his brain.
Then, it depends on whose brain can think further, and whose chess ability is stronger.
The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the two white stones on the chessboard. This time, he used the merchant and the ugly cow as chess pieces respectively. Let's see how the mysterious guy who may be Beichen will deal with it next.
The next day.
As soon as Shen Lian arrived at the Changyuan Tea Shop, Xu Gou found him.
He held an unsigned secret letter in his hand and said: "Master, when our shop opened this morning, a letter fell from the crack of the door."
"The servants don't know when or who stuffed this letter into the crack of the door. I also asked Chou Niu and the others. Chou Niu, including his newly recruited bodyguards, are also unaware."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "So mysterious?"
"After hearing this, I really became a little interested."
He took the secret message and returned to his office.
After sitting down, I poured a cup of hot tea slowly and then looked at the secret letter seriously.
There was no writing on the envelope, not even a single ink mark. It was obvious that the identity of the person who wrote the letter was deliberately concealed.
He tore open the envelope and opened the letter inside.
Then I saw several paragraphs written inside...
"The most intelligent man in the Tang Dynasty really deserves his reputation. He has found out the most important merchant so quickly. I would like to congratulate you here."
"But I think that vendor wouldn't be able to speak easily, right? Even if you catch the vendor, Lord Qin Jue, I'm afraid you'll still get nothing."
"So, Lord Qin, are you interested in taking a gamble?"
When Shen Lian saw this, his eyes narrowed.
Take a gamble...Is this a challenge for yourself at this time?
He continued to look down.
"The relics of Chang'an Huasheng Temple were lost a few days ago. So far, no clues have been found. I heard that Lord Shen is the best at peeling off cocoons, so we took this as a bet."
"Within three days, if Lord Shen solves the case and recovers the relics, Lord Shen will win. Without the need for the abandoned merchant to speak, I will take the initiative to reveal some of my information to you. I guarantee... you will be satisfied. .”
"But if Lord Shen cannot solve the case, then please ask Lord Qin to let Zhao Deshun go, or get rid of him, or let me get rid of him."
"With Sir Shen's character, I think... Sir Shen will definitely not accept such an exciting and challenging thing. So if you don't accept it, then your wife Chang Le, who is still shopping on Zhuque Street, will This is my next target."
Seeing this, Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly and did not continue to read.
"Xugou."
He called softly.
Xu Gou ran in quickly, "Master, are you looking for me?"
"Well, ma'am, where is she now?"
"This... let me think about it, Madam and Xiaolin were on Zhuque Street a quarter of an hour ago. They went there and seemed to buy roast chicken for the young master."
After the words fell, Shen Lian breathed out, "I understand, you can go out first."
"good!"
After Xu Gou left, Shen Lian lay quietly on the chair, staring at the ceiling, thinking about something.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This letter was put down in the morning. Xu Gou and the others found it when they opened the store, and my wife and I were still sleeping at that time."
"That is to say... this letter writer has predicted my wife's course of action."
"Then, there are two possibilities. First, he is someone my wife is very familiar with. Second, he has observed my wife for a long time and can predict my idiot wife's daily course of action."
Shen Lian murmured, then continued to open the letter and continued to read the unfinished content.
"I believe Lord Shen will accept it. Of course, it concerns your wife, and I know you will accept it. Then the challenge begins the moment Lord Shen receives the letter!"
"Waiting for the results in three days."
At this point, the secret message stopped abruptly.
There is no signature, and there is no format that a normal letter should have.
It seemed like it was inviting Shen Lian to participate in challenges and bets, but in fact, this letter was a direct statement, as if it was explaining something that had already happened.
He didn't give Shen Lian a chance to choose at all.
In other words, he knew that Shen Lian would definitely accept the challenge.
And Shen Lian really accepted it.
He crumpled the letter into a ball and said angrily: "I haven't seen such an arrogant guy in a long time. It's interesting."
"Maybe... maybe that guy also threw it to me on purpose."
Shen Lian sneered: "This arrogant guy really understands me, Mr. Qin. Speaking of which, the relics of Huasheng Temple were lost?"
He narrowed his eyes. This is not a fairy world like Journey to the West. Can the relics be used for wool?
How could someone steal something like this?
Moreover, Shen Lian was somewhat familiar with the name Huasheng Temple.
He remembered that in "Journey to the West", Tang Sanzang returned from fetching Buddhist scriptures and lectured on Buddhism at Huasheng Temple.
It can be said that Huasheng Temple was the strongest Buddhist temple in the early Tang Dynasty, when Taoism was the state religion.
It is also a leader in Buddhism, used to fill the stage and compete with Taoism.
Therefore, the influence and power of Huasheng Temple are not weak.
The loss of his temple relic was not a small matter.
In addition, this relic case.
If he wins, he will take the initiative to leak some information.
What does this mean?
Provocative? Or maybe you are a little too confident, thinking that even if you give yourself some information, you won't be able to catch him?
Just such a simple letter contains a lot of information for Shen Lian!
First, I knew that the vendor was arrested by me. I did not use external forces to arrest Zhao Deshun. They were all my own people and it was very secretive. The mysterious person knew about it the next day, which shows that the mysterious person has been paying close attention to the vendor.
Second, and most importantly... the intelligence behind the merchant's backroom shows that the mysterious man is related to Taoist priests and Guiguzi.
Neither Taoist priests nor Guiguzi have any connection with Buddhism.
So, was this case chosen by "Beichen" at random?
Or is there a secret in this case that I don't know about?
Judging from Beichen's various methods and calculations, this person will never do anything casually.
Therefore, there may be some common things happening in Huasheng Temple.
These two points are still the most conspicuous, and the amount of other specious information is even more frightening.
If Xu Gou and the others were to look at it, they would probably only see the word "challenge".
But Shen Lian... was able to infer too many things.
This is also a horror unique to him.
He is not afraid of what the enemy will do, but he is afraid of the enemy doing nothing.
But if the enemy does it, Shen Lian will inevitably find out the clues.
This is how Shen Lian discovered the secrets of Yuheng and Tianquan before and solved them bit by bit.
And this suspected founder of the Beidou Organization, this Beichen... Shen Lian believed that it was the same.
"Master."
At this time, there was a sound outside the door, it was the sound of a dog.
Shen Lian put away the crumpled secret message and said, "Come in."
The dog pushed open the door and entered.
He bowed his hand to Shen Lian and said, "Young Master, there is a case that has been reported from Jingzhao Yin, Zhao Xianye and Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao hopes that Mr. Shaoqing can take action."
"What case?" Shen Lian asked.
Xu Gou looked at Shen Lian and said: "The relics of Huasheng Temple in Chang'an were stolen five days ago. Three days ago, a letter was sent to Huasheng Temple, asking Huasheng Temple to raise two to five thousand silver within three days to redeem the relics, otherwise The relics will be destroyed by him."
"And today happens to be the three-day period."
"Before, Huasheng Temple reported the case to Jing Zhaoyin. Mr. Zhao immediately wanted to seek help from the young master. After all, the matter was extraordinary. However, because it happened to be the Begging Festival at that time, Mr. Zhao couldn't bear to disturb you and the young lady, so he planned to go on his own. Cracked.”
"However, Mr. Zhao has conducted investigations in the past two days, but found nothing. In desperation, I have no choice but to ask for help, young master."
"Today is the deadline, so Mr. Zhao has no choice but to ask the young master to take action. After all, five thousand silver taels is really not a small amount."
…………
When Shen Lian heard this, he couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.
"Five thousand silver taels? According to what you mean, Huasheng Temple is also willing to exchange five thousand silver taels for the relics?"
Xu Gou nodded and said: "Relic is the first abbot of Huasheng Temple. He was invited back from the Western Regions. It is of great significance and represents the spirit of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Huasheng Temple cannot refuse at all."
"In the past three days, Huasheng Temple has also been actively raising funds and explaining the matter to pilgrims. Those devout pilgrims are also filled with indignation and have taken action to help Huasheng Temple. So far, five thousand silver taels have been raised."
"However, both the monks of Huasheng Temple and the pilgrims are very angry about this matter. They hope that the court can catch the thief rather than redeem the relics in this humiliating way."
Shen Lian was a little bit tongue-tied when he heard Xu Gou's words.
Five thousand silver taels were collected in less than three days!
This Huasheng Temple is a bit scary!
At that time, Wei asked his grandfather to ask his grandmother to borrow money from him, which was only two thousand silver taels.
And this Huasheng Temple raised five thousand silver taels in three days.
This is really not a small amount of money.
No wonder Zhao Xianye is so active. It turns out that it involves the amount of silver that can affect the country.
Horrible, terrible!
Moreover, the pilgrims also made a big fuss, so this matter is no small matter. If it is not handled well, it may affect the government's status in the hearts of the people.
Shen Lian stood up slowly and said, "In that case, let's take a walk."
He walked directly out and said, "Remember to call Renjie and ask him to come with me to visit Huasheng Temple."
Yesterday afternoon, Di Renjie came over, and Shen Lian planned to take his disciple out to see him.
Xu Gou nodded quickly and quickly went to prepare.
Shen Lian took another look at the letter he had put away, his eyes flickering a few times.
As soon as the secret letter was in hand, the case of Huasheng Temple came over...
Is this a coincidence?
Or is it that Zhao Xianye has been thoroughly studied by the mysterious person? Just like my silly wife Chang Le.
