He quickly walked over and came to Xu Gou's side. He lowered his head and looked into the box. His eyes suddenly shrank.
"How come?"
He was completely shocked.
He quickly ran to other boxes and opened the lids one after another.
But before he opened one, his heart sank.
Every time I see the condition of a box, my face turns pale.
In the end, the whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning: "How is it possible...there are so many silver coins?"
"That's the money we spent to repair the temple. It's gone...how could it be gone?"
This blow to morality and intelligence is obviously not low!
It was because of this money that Dezhi fell into evil ways!
But what’s the result?
He has fallen into evil ways.
But the money is gone!
This...this...
He had put in so much effort, but ended up with nothing. This was a huge blow to Dezhi.
"Don't you understand yet?"
At this time, Shen Lian suddenly spoke.
Dezhi looked quickly at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian said: "That person didn't want to help you at all, he just wanted to use you to raise money for him!"
"Abbot Dezhi, remember the last words that man said to you. He said that even if the scam is cracked, nothing will happen to you because he will not leave any evidence to anyone."
"Those money are evidence. He will not leave evidence to anyone, which means he will take away all the money."
"So...actually when I heard you say this, I already knew this would be the result."
"you……"
Shen Lian looked at Dezhi and sighed: "I was also deceived."
boom!!
Shen Lian's words were like thunder, exploding in Dezhi's mind.
Dezhi's whole body was shaken by the split.
He looked at Shen Lian with wide eyes, his whole body was stunned.
For this money, he fell into the devil's path.
Can it bear fruit?
He actually paid for others from beginning to end, and was deceived from beginning to end.
this……
Abbot Dezhi was unable to react to this blow for a long time.
Li Shimin didn't know what happened. Seeing that Dezhi was going crazy because of Shen Lian's words, he couldn't help but ask: "Shen Zhuangyuan, what on earth is going on?"
Shen Lian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to talk about this. If my prediction is correct, this temple will be gone in a quarter of an hour at most, and we may be gone too."
"So we're out of time!"
He looked at Dezhi and asked: "Abbott, do you know if there is any other place besides your Zen room where you can come in?"
Dezhi shook his head, he didn't know anything.
He felt that he was a fool.
Shen Lian glanced at Dezhi and knew that Dezhi could not be counted on.
Fortunately, he didn't expect moral wisdom either.
"It seems that I can only rely on you."
Shen Lian took a deep breath, suddenly looked at someone in the crowd, and said, "I think you should have something to do, heir of the thief family."
…………
Shen Lian's eyes fell on those monks.
And his words shocked those monks.
"Master Shen, what did you say?"
"Heirs of thieves? We have heirs of thieves here?"
"Really or not?"
These monks subconsciously separated, and they were all a little nervous about each other.
Xu Gou also stood in front of Shen Lian in an instant.
Holding the handle of the horizontal knife at his waist, his eyes were full of vigilance.
Abbot Dezhi also raised his head blankly.
Others were even more confused.
What kind of heir apparent?
He was not sure whether it was a Taoist or a bandit.
Shen Lian gently patted Xu Gou on the shoulder and asked Xu Gou to get out of the way.
He spoke calmly and said: "Xugou, don't worry, don't be nervous, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope now, he dare not and will not hurt me."
When Xu Gou heard Shen Lian's words, he stepped aside, but when he looked at these monks, he was still very wary.
Shen Lian walked up to these monks and said with a smile: "Are you still hiding it? Do you think you can hide it in front of me, Mr. Shen?"
When you see your goal, you still don't stand up.
Shen Lian had no choice but to name him by name and said: "Jie Cheng, or...heir of the thieves family, come out, I really don't have time."
After hearing Shen Lian's words, all the monks quickly turned their heads and looked at Jie Cheng.
Their faces were full of disbelief.
"Jie Cheng, you..."
"Are you really?"
Although Jie Cheng is still what they remember, Shen Lian's words have already become an imperial edict in their hearts.
At this time, Shen Lian said that there was something wrong with the precepts, so they subconsciously believed Shen Lian.
There will soon be no one around Jiecheng.
When Jiacheng saw this scene, he looked panicked and said: "Sir Shen, you... don't slander others. I am just a little monk. I am the heir of a thief family. I recognized the wrong person!"
"Wrong person?"
Shen Lian walked up to Jie Cheng, looked at Jie Cheng, and suddenly the corner of his mouth curled up.
I saw his hand waving in front of Jie Cheng.
Then, he suddenly opened his palm and saw a gray bead standing on the palm of his hand.
He looked at Jie Cheng, whose pupils shrank slightly, with a half-smile, and said with a smile: "Jie Cheng, can you explain to me why the relics in the main hall are on your body?"
"What?"
"Relic?"
"This... wasn't it in the main hall just now?"
All the monks were shocked.
They just saw the abbot place the relic under the Buddha statue with their own eyes!
Why did he run into Jiancheng?
Dezhi also ran over quickly. Shen Lian gave the relic to Dezhi and said, "Abbott, check it to see if it is true or false."
Dezhi quickly looked at it carefully, and then said: "This... is really our relic, but why, why..."
Shen Lian sneered and said, "Why are you here? All thanks to you, abbot!"
"Me?" Dezhi was stunned.
Shen Lian said calmly: "Abbot Dezhi, in order to make the scam more real, you borrowed the identity of the heir of the thieves and sent the letter."
"And I said it at the time... Thieves are not good-tempered people. If you frame him for something he didn't do, he may not let it go."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No...I just finished speaking, and he came."
"Moreover, didn't you falsely accuse him of stealing your relic?" Then he really stole it and let you shoot yourself in the foot. I think...if I hadn't happened to meet him..."
He smiled half-heartedly and said, "Abbott, you really have to pay five thousand to redeem this relic."
When Dezhi and others heard Shen Lian's words, their expressions changed.
They all looked at Jiacheng with wide eyes, each one full of vigilance.
"Jie Cheng, you..."
Before Dezhi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jie Cheng.
"Oh."
Jie Cheng laughed, and his original panic disappeared without a trace.
He stood up straight and looked at Shen Lian. There was no trace of nervousness on his face. He said: "The most intelligent man in the Tang Dynasty is indeed well-deserved. I think I disguised myself well, but I didn't expect that you would still find me." Already."
Shen Lian nodded and said, "To be honest, you're really good at pretending."
"It's harder to be seen than ordinary disguises. I think... this should be some uninherited skills of your thieves."
The heir of the thieves family nodded and said: "I really can't hide it from you. Yes, it is the secret technique of our thieves family, but you still discovered it. In the end, I still can't compare with you."
"It's just a coincidence that I found you."
He said: "This is also due to Renjie. At that time, Renjie had a chat with Jiancheng for a while and knew that Jiancheng liked tea."
"And at lunch, I deliberately gave you tea, hoping to make you eat more, but you said you didn't like tea and were even allergic..."
"It's obvious. Either you are lying, or simply...you are no longer the one who has quit. Then I deliberately tested you several times. In the end, I finally confirmed that you are indeed no longer the original quit."
"As for disguise, even I can deceive people, but few people in the world can do it. So combined with Dezhi to frame the thief, I can easily deduce that this precept is for thieves. It’s a family heirloom disguised.”
Hearing Shen Lian's words, the heir of the bandit family sighed with emotion: "God is not as good as man. I have too little time to fully understand Jie Cheng, so I didn't expect... that I would reveal my fault here."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Lian and said, "Zhang He, the heir of the bandit family, has met Lord Shen."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Looking at you like this, are you not afraid of me?"
Zhang He said: "The case, Sir Shen, has been solved. It has nothing to do with my robbery, and the relic... is not in my hands now. I don't think Sir Shen will embarrass a villain because of such a trivial matter." Bar?"
Shen Lian shook his head and said, "You really don't understand me, and I will really make things difficult for you."
Zhang He: "..."
"To be honest, the thief who fell into my hands has not escaped so far, so... do you want to give it a try?"
Zhang He: "...Master Shen, don't you want it? You all know that I was wrongly accused."
"You were wronged before, but you just stole the Buddhist treasure. This is a fact! This treasure is worth one hundred thousand yuan. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, stealing such a high amount of things... what is the penalty? I think... you should be very Is that clear?" Shen Lian said with a faint smile.
Zhang He's expression changed completely.
He felt that Shen Lian was different from other officials, so he admitted it openly.
But I didn't expect that Shen Lian would go further than the others.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have revealed his identity!
Now, there's trouble.
Xu Gou and others had already surrounded Zhang He.
There are still shadow guards outside who are watching eagerly. Zhang He knows that even if he has wings, he will not be able to escape!
He was really going to cry.
What evil had I committed? Why did I encounter such an unreasonable Shen Lian as soon as I came out?
Is this the first time that I have left the gang?
Master, it's so dangerous outside. I want to go home.
Zhang He cried in his heart.
"However, I, Shen, have excuses for missing you. I may consider giving you a chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious service. I wonder if you are willing."
At this moment, Shen Lian suddenly spoke calmly.
When Zhang He heard this, he was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving rope. He quickly said: "Master Shen, please give me your orders. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
"Don't worry, you can do it."
Shen Lian looked at Zhang He, stretched out three fingers, and said: "Follow me for three years, and be my subordinate for three years. When the three years are up, if you want to leave, you can leave. I will never make it difficult for you! If you don't want to leave, Shen Mansion I can also give you a place to live, and change from a thief to a human being, how do you choose?"
Zhang He's eyes widened when he heard Shen Lian's words.
He really didn't expect that Shen Lian would make such a condition.
Let yourself be with him for three years and be his little brother for three years.
Then, after three years, you can choose whether to go or stay.
this……
Zhang He frowned. If he agreed, it would mean that he would have no freedom within three years and must obey Shen Lian's words.
But if he didn't agree, maybe he would be done with it now.
At the same time, what Shen Lian said... that he could join the Shen Mansion would be equivalent to sharing wealth and honor with Shen Lian, and he could even be an official, which made him feel a little moved in his heart.
Most people who rob homes are born thieves.
Seeing an officer is as scary as a mouse seeing a cat.
If you can become an official...this is absolutely unprecedented!
But the thieves also love freedom the most, let alone... He doesn't know Shen Lian very well. What if Shen Lian asks him to die?
…………
He was very confused.
And Shen Lian didn't give him much time to think. He said: "The time is urgent now. I don't have time to waste with you. I will give you ten breaths to think about it. If you don't make a decision, it means you don't agree. You will be here from now on." Just keep it in your brain for the rest of your life."
With that said, Shen Lian began to count down.
Zhang He suddenly became nervous, sweat dripping from his forehead.
"three……"
As for Shen Lian, as if he didn't notice his nervousness, he continued counting: "Two..."
"one……"
"I agree!"
Zhang He said loudly, he quickly looked at Shen Lian and said: "I, I agree."
At this time, Zhang He was sweating profusely, as if he had experienced some kind of struggle.
He looked very tired.
Shen Lian glanced at Zhang He and then smiled: "Congratulations, you made the most correct choice."
Looking at Shen Lian's smile, Zhang He felt as if he had been fished out of water, and felt cold in his heart.
Although Shen Lian's smile was so sunny and gentle, he always felt that it was the scariest smile in the world.
He has met countless people, but he has never seen someone as terrifying and unreasonable as Shen Lian.
For a moment, Zhang He suddenly felt worried about his future.
He felt that he had boarded a pirate ship.
"Okay, let's start working."
"Shen Lian didn't give Zhang He time to digest the change in identity. After all, the person behind the scenes didn't give him much time.
Of course... after the situation is broken, he won't give the people behind the scenes much time.
The people behind the scenes used Monk Dezhi as a pawn to set up such a fatal situation.
Then I have already used Zhang He as a pawn to break this deadlock.
