Shen Lian's eyes flickered and he said: "My current status is different from before, but even if I am a lord without an official position, we cannot arrest anyone easily if it was before."
"But now, Your Majesty has given us the power to investigate with confidence! Since there is evidence now, no matter who he is, arrest him immediately!"
"Your Majesty has already said that I, Shen, should be allowed to show off my talents. With him in my back pocket, he is only one of the nine ministers, and he is not the Duke of the country. So what qualifications does he have to let me, Shen, tie my hands and feet?"
"and……"
Shen Lian paused for a moment and said: "I'm worried about the long nights and long dreams. Beichen knows that Zhao Deshun is in our hands, and Zhao Deshun knows the news about Li Wencheng. If No. 1 wants to give up on Li Wencheng, then this clue may be broken..."
"so……"
Shen Lian looked at Si She and said, "Si She, I'd like to trouble you. You should immediately notify Xu Gou and ask him to mobilize his troops and arrest Li Wencheng directly. I will personally go to your Majesty's place and tell him."
"You yourself continue to hide in the darkness."
"yes!"
Sishe didn't waste any time, just took the people and left.
Shen Lian raised his head and looked at the blue sky. The sky was blue and the sunshine was just right. It seemed that all the shadows were disappearing.
But Shen Lian knows that if there is light, there must be shadow.
He squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Here comes someone."
An Intelligence Department guard appeared instantly.
This was Li Shimin's aid to him.
After all, his son really disappeared and he really asked Shen Lian for help. This guard came to assist Shen Lian.
"grown ups!"
Shen Lian said: "Send me an order to set up sentry posts at the four city gates of Chang'an to conduct identity checks on people coming and going! Anyone who encounters an unknown person, someone who looks evasive, or someone who is suspicious will be arrested. , leave it to Dali Temple to handle!"
"At the same time, Li Wencheng's portrait was immediately sent to the four city gates, and checkpoints were set up at the official crossings along the way for secondary inspection."
The guard couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Sir Sir Shen, what is this?"
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said: "Beichen is too insidious...so I, Shen, have to be on guard."
"If Xu Gou and the others catch him, then they will remove these checkpoints. If they fail to catch him, they will be prepared."
"yes!"
The guard knew that the matter was urgent, so he turned around and left quickly without any delay.
Soon, Shen Lian was the only one left here.
Seeing that he was the only one left, Shen Lian couldn't help but shook his head.
No, I still don’t have enough capable subordinates.
We must find a way as soon as possible to get rid of the secret guards composed of hundreds of people.
Now it only has Zhang He, and there are still 99 people left.
If that doesn't work... maybe you can consider some historical celebrities?
Those historical celebrities who have not shown their talents so far?
Xue Rengui?
Pei Xingjian?
"It's not impossible..."
Shen Lian smiled.
Take historical celebrities under your wing...
This is doable!
Two hours later.
It's already noon, Dali Temple Yamen.
Shen Lian borrowed this place to handle cases.
Instead of giving himself a holiday to go home to rest and reunite with his wife, he used the power given by Li Shimin and went directly to the Dali Temple Yamen to take charge of everything.
The reason for not taking a rest.
On the one hand, he knew something was going to happen later yesterday and rested earlier, so he was in good spirits and not too tired.
On the other hand, he wants to wait for the result of Xu Gou.
Li Wencheng may be a very key figure, and he needs to know the arrest results as soon as possible.
In addition, Li Shimin is still staying in Dali Temple. He also wants to come over and talk to Li Shimin about Huasheng Temple.
So he has a lot of things to do.
Fortunately, everything went as he expected.
King Wei Li Tai was found in his room. Li Tai was in a coma after being poisoned by incense, and the person who hid Li Tai was the guard who Shen Lian deduced was the first to discover Li Tai's disappearance.
So this matter was a near miss in the end.
After Li Shimin understood the whole story, Vukong affirmed Shen Lian and returned to the palace in a hurry.
After all, as the king of a country, Li Shimin had many state affairs to deal with, and he had no time to waste.
However, knowing that Shen Lian needed to handle a case, he handed over the right to temporarily take charge of Dali Temple and returned to the palace.
After Li Shimin left, Shen Lian locked himself in a room in Dali Temple and ordered that no one was allowed to disturb him unless Xu Gou came back.
He sat in front of the table, closed his eyes, and allowed all his emotions to remain calm and rational before slowly opening his eyes.
Then I saw him take out a piece of paper, lay it out flat, pick up a brush and dip it in ink, think for a moment, and then write down all the clues he collected last night.
It is suspected that Beichen knows the mystery of the secret passage of Huasheng Temple. He laid out the plan in Huasheng Temple a few years ago and arranged for monks to enter it for an unknown purpose.
That’s right, the purpose is unknown!
Although it was said that Shen Lian had uncovered all Beichen's arrangements this time, it was obvious that these monks would definitely not do what they did to plot against him.
After all, he was not famous a few years ago, he was still a prodigal, and he had never matched up with Beichen. No matter how powerful Beichen was, he would never have known that he would meet an opponent like him in a few years.
Therefore, those monks and even the secret passages of Huasheng Temple were definitely not designed by Beichen to deal with him.
So... why did Beichen attack a temple?
Is it purely a dispute over orthodoxy?
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, he was not sure.
Maybe there are secrets in Huasheng Temple that I don't know about, so if I have time, I might still want to talk to Monk Dezhi.
Shen Lian continued to write while thinking.
"Yaoguang, his martial arts is not weak, and he has colluded with the bandits. Maybe he was born as a bandit, or he became a bandit later! He comes from a certain area, has an official status, and can control the life and death of no less than two governors. The highest possible promotion may be to be a general manager of the same province."
Shen Lian got a lot of clues from Yaoguang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These clues, if there are no results from Li Wencheng, can also become a line that you can investigate by yourself.
Shen Lian thought for a while and suddenly said: "Here comes someone!"
Chou Niu had been waiting outside the door. When he heard Shen Lian's voice, he quickly walked in: "Young Master."
Shen Lian said: "Chou Niu, go check immediately to see if there is any place in the past few days that has sent some people over for some reasons. These people are allowed to carry weapons. Maybe they are escorting someone, maybe they are escorting someone." What important items! Go quickly!"
"yes!"
The ugly cow quickly turned and left.
Shen Lian had already made some speculations before, but now he wants to turn his tweets into reality.
He had said a long time ago that she was not afraid of anyone taking action against her, she was just afraid that they would not take action.
And as long as they take action, no matter whether they are willing or not, they will definitely leave clues for themselves.
Now, Fluctlight has left very important clues for himself.
Whether it's the arrival of those bandits or Luo Guang's trap, Shen Lian can learn many secrets.
Shen Lian looked at the paper again.
The names of Zhao Deshun and Li Wencheng were not written down.
These two people, or Li Wencheng, may be able to give themselves more surprises.
After that, he wrote down the names of Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian and others. These historical celebrities must have their own merits if they can be remembered in the annals of history.
No one has discovered their advantages yet, so I have no choice but to accept them first.
Therefore, it is time to put it on the agenda to find a way to trick Xun Rengui and the others. His own secret guards need to be formed as soon as possible.
It is impossible to fight against a powerful and mysterious organization like Tiandi Pavilion without enough manpower to deploy it.
After doing this, he finally stretched himself, and all the necessary summaries were summarized, and all the necessary plans were in place.
The next step is to see which side can bloom.
"Master!"
At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly sounded.
Then Xu Gou was seen rushing into Qin Zulai's office.
Shen Lian glanced at Xu Gou and said, "Didn't anyone get caught?"
Xu Gou was about to speak when he suddenly heard what Shen Lian said. He paused and then said, "Master, do you already know?"
Shen Lian chuckled: "To put it bluntly, I know you better than you do now. How can you hide your expressions and thoughts from me?"
"Dead or escaped?"
"Escaped."
Xu Gou took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "After I received the order from the young master, I led people directly to Guanglu Temple, because it was already duty time at that time, and logically Li Wencheng should be at Guanglu Temple."
"But after I went to Guanglu Temple, I was told that Li Wencheng didn't go on duty today at all."
"So I quickly went to Li Wencheng's mansion, and then the housekeeper said that Li Wencheng was not feeling well and was resting at home. I wanted to see Li Wencheng, but..."
Shen Lian said: "In the end, the person disappeared?"
Xu Gou nodded: "Yes, the person is missing! The housekeeper was very surprised at the time. He said that he had delivered medicine to Li Wencheng in the morning."
"And at the same time, we also saw that one of Li Wencheng's capable servants was killed in Li Wencheng's room. The servant was tortured before he died. We asked the servant to examine him and found that the time of death was no more than an hour. In other words, He was killed after he last saw Li Wencheng at the official's house and before we went to Li's house."
As Shen Lian listened to Xu Gou's words, a picture quickly appeared in his mind.
Xu Gou felt a little guilty and said: "Master, I let you down. Master, you managed to pry open Zhao Deshun's mouth, but I...but I let Li Wencheng escape."
"Xugou, okay, don't make things more difficult for yourself. You can't be blamed for this."
Shen Lian waved his hand and said calmly: "This can only be said about Li Wencheng. This person is alert enough and decisive enough. Your speed is no longer slow...even, it is not much slower than the people sent by Beichen. This is already It’s very rare.”
"Beichen?"
Xu Gou was stunned: "Young Master means... this is Beichen, let Li Wencheng escape?"
Shen Lian smiled and shook his head: "Xugou, you think too well of Beichen. Beichen can easily kill Yaoguang with poison. Do you think he will be so good to Li Wencheng?"
"The truth is exactly the opposite of what you think."
"Why?" Xu Gou was puzzled.
Shen Lian said: "You just said that a capable subordinate of Li Wencheng died in Li Wencheng's room, and there were signs of torture on this subordinate, right?"
Xu Gou nodded subconsciously.
"If the person who killed this subordinate is Li Wencheng, and Li Wencheng is in a hurry to escape, there is no reason for him to waste time torturing a subordinate, let alone... this subordinate is his confidant, why is he torturing his subordinates when he has nothing to do?"
"Of course, if this subordinate knows the traces of his escape, then it is possible that he kills and silences him, but torture... this can't be justified, right?"
Xu Gou thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, there is some truth in killing, but there is no reason in torture."
"In this case, who killed that subordinate and tortured him?"
He was even more puzzled.
Shen Lian glanced at Xu Gou and said calmly: "The people sent by Beichen."
"Beichen?"
Shen Lian said: "Beichen wanted to kill me because I captured Zhao Deshun, but he failed! So he knew that I would probably pry open Zhao Deshun's mouth, thereby knowing the key figure Li Wencheng."
"So in order to prevent Li Wencheng from leaking the secret, he sent people to silence Li Wencheng."
"But who would have thought that the people he sent to kill him didn't find Li Wencheng. Because Li Wencheng sensed the danger in advance and had already escaped, the killer caught Li Wencheng's men and wanted to find out Li Wencheng's whereabouts..."
"That's why the scene you saw happened, where Li Wencheng's confidants were tortured and killed."
After the words fell, Xu Gou suddenly realized.
"This explanation is completely reasonable!"
"That young master."
Xu Gou looked at Shen Lian: "Have they asked about Li Wencheng's whereabouts?"
Shen Lian shook his head: "Li Wencheng is very cautious and smart. Judging from Mr. Wei's evaluation of his style, he will not leave any clues for people to find him, so the people in Beichen, at least for now, are the same as us. Same, at the same starting line.”
"Then will Li Wencheng escape?"
"There's no escape."
Shen Lian raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said: "After you leave, I will order people to block the four city gates and set up roadblocks along the way to Chang'an. Li Wencheng will definitely not be able to escape."
When Xu Gou heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Shen Lian and couldn't help but said: "Master, I... I really admire you. Master, did you know that Li Wencheng might do this? You made these preparations in advance so that Li Wencheng would never be able to escape. machine."
Hearing this, Shen Lian laughed: "It doesn't mean that there are no omissions, just be cautious. After all, we know very well how cunning our enemies are."
"But... no matter how cunning the fox is, he can't escape the clutches of the hunter!"
Shen Lian stood up directly and said, "Let's go."
"But... no matter how cunning the fox is, he can't escape the clutches of the hunter!"
