But these have nothing to do with Shen Lian. Shen Lian is just here to solve a case. As for the rest, what does it have to do with him?
It's not like he turned Huasheng Temple into this.
It was Beichen who destroyed Huasheng Temple!
It was the abbot of Huasheng Temple who was so obsessed that he was deceived by Beichen.
Therefore, if they want to blame, they can only blame themselves. As Buddhists, their six roots are impure. This is entirely their own fault.
"Master, we are back."
At this time, Chou Niu and others also came back.
There was blood on their weapons and clothes.
It can be seen that they really fought hard.
"How is it?" Shen Lian asked.
Chou Niu grinned: "We are the ones who set up an ambush, calculated deliberately and unintentionally. If we are still unable to deal with them, then we will be very sorry for the trust of the young master."
"Everyone was dealt with, and no one escaped. Some of our people were injured, but no one was injured."
Hearing this, Shen Lian nodded with satisfaction.
Those bandits were brought here as cannon fodder and bait, so it was no surprise that they were all wiped out.
In any case, both Chou Niu and Li Shimin's bodyguards can be regarded as the strongest individual combatants in the Tang Dynasty.
"Then so be it."
Shen Lian raised his head and glanced at the sky.
It was already bright and cloudless at this time, so it was obviously a good weather.
Before he knew it, he had been out for a day and a night.
"Everything that needs to be solved has been solved. It's time for us to go back. Everyone has been busy all night. Let's all rest separately after we go back. If there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"yes!"
After receiving the order, everyone nodded and then left one after another.
The monks committed a crime.
Chou Niu and the others were responsible for taking the monks to the Yamen of Dali Temple for trial, while the other guards quickly dispersed.
Shen Lian and Si She walked last.
As the two of them walked down the mountain road, Shen Lian said, "Sishe, what happened to what I told you to do yesterday?"
Before leaving Shen's Mansion yesterday, Shen Lian secretly gave Sishe a mission.
Hearing this, Sishe nodded directly and said, "It's already been done. It was done last night."
"The performance was not bad, was it? Wasn't it discovered?"
Sishe smiled and said: "Master, are you still worried about my acting skills?"
"Master, don't worry. That guy has no suspicion at all. We cooperated with the jailer, but the knife was deadly and the blood flowed all over the floor. The guy was about to vomit, so there is absolutely no problem."
Shen Lian smiled, nodded and said, "With your words, I feel relieved. Where is he now?"
"In order to be detected by spies from Chang'an and their forces, he is currently hiding in a ruined temple in the south of the city."
Shen Lian thought for a while and then said: "Come on, I'm busy anyway, so I won't miss this for a while. Let's go to the ruined temple to meet this guy and see if we can get something out of him. thing."
"yes!"
After Shen Lian and Sishe entered Chang'an City, they went directly to the south of the city and arrived at the deserted ruined temple.
At this time, the door of the ruined temple was closed, and there were two people wearing night clothes guarding the door.
Sishe said: "Young master, that guy is locked up in a ruined temple. I also found out his name. He is called Zhao Deshun. He is probably sleeping now."
Shen Lian thought for a moment and said, "Give me a pair of night clothes, and you can put them on too, and we'll go meet him."
Soon, the two of them changed into night clothes. From the outside, it was completely impossible to tell who the two were.
Shen Lian smiled, opened the door directly, and entered the ruined temple.
At this time, under the Buddha statue in the ruined temple, there was a man in prison uniform running among the firewood, snoring and apparently sleeping soundly.
And this person is none other than the businessman Shen Lian caught before!!
Now Si She also opened his mouth and knew that his name was Zhao Deshun.
It was because of this Zhao Deshun that Beichen gave himself a letter of challenge and allowed him to go to Huasheng Temple.
It can be said that all of this is inseparable from the key figure Zhao Deshun.
It's just that Zhao Deshun's mouth is too tight and it's difficult to pry out the words, and Shen Lian feels that Beichen will definitely not let Zhao Deshun be interrogated by him, and there is no telling when Zhao Deshun will die.
Therefore, he used this method to let Si She and the others perform a play last night to rescue Zhao Deshun elsewhere.
So try to see if you can swindle out some important information.
Seeing Zhao Deshun snoring loudly, Shen Lian really couldn't bear to wake him up, so he directly brought a basin of cold water and poured it directly into Zhao Deshun's face.
With a crash, Zhao Deshun, who had been sleeping very deeply, suddenly got excited and sat up directly.
"Who? Who?"
He seemed to be in shock, and after a while, he seemed to wake up.
At this moment, he discovered that there were four men in black in front of him, looking at him coldly.
Seeing these men in black, his memory blurred for a moment, and then he suddenly remembered that he had escaped from the Dali Temple prison.
I was rescued by these people.
"Zhao Deshun, you are really big-hearted. You can still sleep so deeply here. I have to say, I admire you a little."
Shen Lian sneered and spoke. His voice had been specially processed and was completely different from the original voice.
When Zhao Deshun heard this, he laughed directly and said: "With your protection, I will naturally feel relieved."
"Protect?"
Shen Lian smiled half-heartedly and said, "Zhao Deshun, I think you seem to have misunderstood something."
"What?" Zhao Deshun was stunned.
Shen Lian continued: "Do you think you are of any use to us now? Beidou Society has given up on you, and your existence will only put our master at risk of being exposed, so do you think... we Why should I protect you?"
Zhao Deshun is not stupid.
On the contrary, he is extremely shrewd.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in Shen Mansion for several days before being picked out by the Twelve Shadow Thorns.
If it weren't for Shen Lian, he would have really been able to escape.
He is very shrewd and smart, so when he heard Shen Lian's words, he suddenly thought of something and his face suddenly changed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He looked at Shen Lian with wide eyes, couldn't help but swallowed, and said: ""Could it be that you... you... you..."
Shen Lian sneered: "Understood? That's good. We can avoid talking too much."
Shen Lian directly displayed his weapon and said: "If you die with your eyes open, don't come to us. We don't want to kill you. We are just following orders."
"However, I think... when you did these things, you should have had the consciousness you have today! When you are worthless, you living... is the original sin!"
With that said, he directly raised his weapon and was about to attack Zhao Deshun.
When Zhao Deshun saw this scene, his pupils shrank.
His whole body will be covered in huge panic, covered in huge anger, and monstrous rage.
He shook his head and said with horror on his face: "You can't, you can't kill me, you can't kill me!"
"Li Wencheng, Li Wencheng promised me, he promised me... he would make sure nothing happens to me!"
"He lied to me! Damn that guy, he actually lied to me. Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let him go!"
He had a look of resentment on his face and a sharp voice that stung people's eardrums.
The sword that Shen Lian raised stopped immediately.
"Li Wencheng? Li Wencheng, the minister of Guanglu Temple? So he is the fake Beichen?"
Shen Lian was thoughtful.
And Zhao Deshun was extremely frightened and angry just now, thinking that even if he acted like a ghost, he would not let Li Wencheng go.
But the next moment, when he heard the familiar voice of the man in black in front of him, which was like a devil, and made his whole body tremble when he heard it, he was stunned.
He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the man in black in front of him. He couldn't help swallowing and said in shock: "Could it be that...you, you, you are..."
Shen Lian laughed, took off the black cloth that covered his face, looked at the shocked Zhao Deshun, and said with a smile: "Zhao Deshun, thank you for your cooperation, now... you really have no value anymore.
Inside the ruined temple.
When businessman Zhao Deshun heard Shen Lian's words, cold sweat broke out all over his body. His hands and feet were so cold that he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"You...you...how could you? Why are you here?"
"Could it be that last night, last night... didn't that save me?"
The moment Zhao Deshun saw Shen Lian, he understood many things in an instant.
And after knowing this, he became even more frightened.
Shen Lian chuckled lightly and said, "Don't you really think that the person behind you...that is, Li Wencheng, will really save you?"
"If the Beidou Society's plan can go smoothly, then your status will naturally be high. After all, you are a very important link."
"But it's a pity that the Beidou Society has completely failed! So you, who know so many of their secrets, do you think they would expect you to live?"
"That is, your secret is still somewhat valuable to me, so I will let you live, but now..."
Shen Lian's lips curled up slightly and he said, "I already know who the person behind you is, so you are of no use to me."
When Zhao Deshun heard Shen Lian's words, his face turned pale.
He suddenly knelt down and said: "Shen... Sir Shen, don't kill me, don't kill me!"
"I beg you, don't kill me, I know other secrets, I'm still useful, I'm still useful!"
Shen Lian glanced at Zhao Deshun. He didn't think that a small person like Zhao Deshun could know many useful things.
And now there are obviously people more worthy of his arrest, so Zhao Deshun is even more useless.
He didn't think that Zhao Deshun knew more secrets than Li Wencheng.
Li Wencheng is also the minister of Guanglu Temple. As one of the nine ministers, his status is not low. He is of the same rank as Bai Yanguan, the young minister of Dali Temple whom he met before.
He believed that a person with such a status, even within the Beidou Club, was qualified to have the code name of the Star.
As for Li Wencheng, Shen Lian also met him more than once.
He really didn't expect that the guy suspected of being Beichen was actually Li Wencheng, who usually seemed to be smiling all the time.
He looked at Zhao Deshun, whose forehead was bleeding, and said calmly: "Zhao Deshun, don't worry, I am also a lord, I know the law, and I will not kill you before you are sentenced, so you There are still live ones.”
"However, based on your crime, if you are unable to avenge your crime and make meritorious service, you will eventually die. So didn't you say that you still know a lot of secrets? Then what will I say after I put you in the Dali Temple prison? Otherwise...I guarantee you won't survive this winter."
After saying that, Shen Lian ignored Zhao Deshun and waved his hand directly, saying: "Take it away!"
Soon, two people from the Intelligence Department of Dali Temple behind him took Zhao Deshun out.
This is the person Shen Lian borrowed from Bai Yanguan.
Arresting people is just one reason, the most important thing is to let them see Zhao Deshun reveal the information with their own eyes.
After being pressed away, Shen Lian and Si She also walked out of the ruined temple.
Sishe couldn't help but said: "Master, I'm really convinced. We tortured Zhao Deshun like that, but he didn't say a word. But Master, you just threatened him casually, and he said everything, and directly Li Wencheng was recruited."
Sishe gave a thumbs up: "Master, seriously this is it!"
Seeing this, Shen Lian chuckled and shook his head.
He said: "This is nothing. People like Zhao Deshun are actually about to break their inner strings. I just accelerated the process."
"Rescue him, give him hope! Then plunge him into despair in an instant, and constantly hint to him that all this is done by his master behind the scenes, and it is his master behind the scenes who wants to kill him..."
"At this time, he had lost his calmness and reason. Before he died, even if he was anxious, he would jump over the wall, let alone a selfish person!"
"So, he will definitely say some harsh words before he dies, and he will definitely scold the master behind him."
"So... we need clues, don't we have them?"
Sishe listened to her young master's analysis and couldn't help but sigh and admire again.
Only now did he realize that there were so many people's calculations involved in this.
He knew that he was still far from being satisfied with the young master.
There are so many things that I need to learn.
He took a deep breath and said, "Then let's go back and continue interrogating him?"
Shen Lian said casually: "Whatever, but I don't think I can ask anything. He is an intermediary and he can know some things about Li Wencheng. But now, since I know Li Wencheng, even if he doesn't tell me, I will It's easy to find out."
"But you should also review it, just in case you find something useful."
"besides……"
Shen Lian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "After you go back, let the dog secretly enter the Dali Temple prison and strengthen the security of the prison. As long as he is still alive, he will be a big bait. What if you can catch a big fish? "
Sishe nodded hurriedly: "I know."
"What about Li Wencheng?" Sishe asked, "Are we spying secretly, or..."
