Seeing this scene, the scar-faced man became completely nervous.
Looking at Shen Lian's calm expression, he knew that he... had hit an iron plate.
"Sir Sir Shen, save someone under the sword, save someone under the sword!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Then I saw an old man, surrounded by several people.
Shen Lian looked at the old man and said, "Old man Zhang, are you a relative?"
Shen Lian knew the layout of the underground world very well.
The old man Zhang in front of me is the boss behind this gambling stall.
It is easy to decide between life and death in ordinary people.
But when you meet a lord like him, you can only behave with your tail between your legs.
The underground world is called the underworld.
It’s because you can’t be upright!
And he has their evil information in his hands.
An uncomfortable, direct exposure.
He is a lord, he has this ability, and he has this ability.
Therefore, Old Man Zhang did not dare to offend Shen Lian at all.
now.
The voice fell.
The old man who advocated the underground world shook his head: "No, he is..."
Pfft--
Before Old Man Zhang finished speaking, Shen Lian had already raised his knife and dropped it.
That scarred face never figured out why he died here until the last moment of his life.
No one expected that Shen Lian would not even give face to the underground leader Zhang Lao.
"you……"
Old man Zhang's eyes widened and he suddenly stopped talking.
Shen Lian returned the sword to its sheath and said calmly: "Don't say he is not your relative, even if he is your relative, if he is disrespectful to a lord, he should be killed!"
"Old man Zhang, you are a person who understands current affairs, so you should understand who has the final say here, right?"
"It seems that I have arrived at your territory, but in fact, you are already surrounded. If I lose half a hair, you know the consequences for you."
"And you also know what I am capable of. If I make a surprise inspection, your reserve of men will definitely not be enough to defeat me. So, Old Man Zhang, you have to think carefully about how to deal with me."
Old man Zhang's expression changed slightly when he heard Shen Lian's words.
He quickly calmed down his emotions to prevent hostility and avoid being discovered by Shen Lian.
He knew how terrifying the young man in front of him was, and he also knew how much power Shen Lian had now.
If Shen Lian is willing, really! It won't be difficult to bloodbath their place!
The weight of being the youngest lord of the Tang Dynasty is really too great!
He quickly lowered his head and said, "It's Qin's decision that day, you have the final say."
Shen Lian walked up to Old Man Zhang in a swagger, looked at the old man in front of him who had a low eyebrow, but was actually the king of the underground world. He smiled and said: "There are some things, as long as you don't do too much, as long as you don't If you touch my bottom line, I, Mr. Qin, will not be ignorant and will not care about you."
"I think you should also feel what I mean. After such a long time, no one from the government has troubled you for no reason, right?"
Old Man Zhang nodded quickly, "Thanks to Sir Shen and the various ministries for making them turn a blind eye to our behavior. We are very grateful to Sir Shen."
"So, I have done everything I should do, so tell me, you are under my protection, but some of you are disrespectful to me, and even secretly collude with outsiders to kill me. Such people... "
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, but still had a smile on his face, but that voice made Old Man Zhang feel cold in his heart: "How should we deal with it?"
Old Man Zhang trembled all over.
He is not someone who has never seen the big world.
He has seen all kinds of characters, cold-blooded, cunning, insidious... he has seen them all.
In front of those people, she could always maintain a calm and composed demeanor.
But in front of Shen Lian, he just felt like a weakling with no secrets and no ability to fight back. He couldn't muster up the courage to look at Shen Lian.
"Of course... of course he should be killed," Old Man Zhang said.
Shen Lian took out a list from his arms, threw it to Old Man Zhang, and said, "You should know what to do."
After saying that, he took Xu Gou and went directly to Old Man Zhang's room inside.
Old man Zhang opened the list nervously, and when he saw the face on it, his expression changed instantly.
…………
The door is closed.
The noise outside suddenly became much quieter.
Xu Gou looked at Shen Lian and said, "Master, what are we doing here?"
Shen Lian smiled and said lightly: "Don't you understand? Show off your power and let them know who is the real master."
"Don't look at this old man Zhang who is nodding and bowing to me. In fact, he is extremely ruthless, otherwise he would not be able to rule this underground world."
"So if you want it to be obedient, how can you do it without resorting to some means?"
"The Scarface I killed was actually the adopted son that Old Man Zhang had just adopted."
…………
"What? This..." Xu Gou was startled.
Shen Lian sneered and said: "This is information obtained by Chou Niu. I just learned about it in the past few days, so you don't know how serious it is."
"If you don't talk about this, let's talk about his adopted son. Do you think an ordinary person would let Old Man Zhang come out and beg for mercy?"
"However, today I just want to let him know who his father is. What's wrong with an adopted son? He doesn't have a biological son. Otherwise, I, Shen, will kill him!"
"To such a person, if you don't be more cruel and violent than him, he will shit on your head."
Xu Gou was a little worried: "Then will he bear grudge against the young master? Is he doing something secretly?"
Shen Lian laughed: "Don't worry, he is a smart man and very aware of current affairs. He will explain that he cannot hate me, otherwise he knows that I can see through his thoughts and he does not want to die."
"And the list I gave him are all his trusted confidants in the underground world. These confidants have betrayed a lot of my information to Yaoguang before. I'm just too lazy to deal with these little fish and shrimps. It just so happens that today, let's solve it together. Already."
"He doesn't know how I got this list, so she will wonder if there is an informant I planted around him. At that time, he will only be more cautious, for fear of saying a wrong word or doing something wrong and I will Know."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is a thing that achieves multiple things with one stone, why not do it?"
Xu Gou couldn't help but ask: "Did the young master really arrange an spy beside him?"
Shen Lian looked at Xu Gou with a faint smile: "What do you think?"
Xu Gou: "..."
He doesn't know.
He really doesn't know!
There are very few people who can guess what Shen Lian is doing.
After all, their IQ levels are very different.
And Shen Lian didn't say anything.
Whether there is eyeliner...who knows?
At this time, some screams came from outside, and Shen Lian knew that Old Man Zhang was executing those guys.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
After these things, you, Old Man Zhang, don't dare to have any other thoughts in a short period of time.
Therefore, this underground world will completely obey its own orders.
In this case, everything is ready.
It depends on when Li Wencheng comes over.
Just wait and see when Beichen’s killer will find Li Wencheng!
All preparations have been completed.
Next, just wait for the bait to take the bait, and the show... begins!
The next day.
early morning.
It was just dawn, and his wife, Changle, went out to buy groceries. Before Qin Wenyuan got up, he heard a knock on the door outside.
His closed eyes suddenly opened, and his hand instantly tightened the handle of the knife beside him.
"Master, it's me, Xu Gou."
At this time, the sound of a dog came in from outside.
When Shen Lian heard Xu Gou's words, he released his weapon. He glanced at the sky. At this time, the sun had just risen and the chickens had just crowed. It was still early. Xu Gou came to him at this time. He thought there was something wrong. Something important.
He didn't waste any time, got up quickly, put on his green shirt, and opened the door.
I saw Xu Gou standing outside the door. I didn't see Meng Hu today.
Although the Twelve Shadow Thorns are currently regarded as Qin Zulai's personal guards and are responsible for protecting themselves for twelve hours, they are also human beings and they also need to rest.
So they all work in shifts. Unless there are special circumstances, those people work in three shifts, and each team is responsible for four hours. Now is not the time when the Twelve Shadow Thorns are on duty.
Because they all went out with their wives.
With the previous smallpox incident, Shen Lian's protection of his wife could be described as crazy.
"What's going on?" Shen Lian asked directly.
Xu Gou looked at Shen Lian and said, "Master, two hours ago, Beidou Society's killers went to kill Li Wencheng. Li Wencheng was alert enough to sense the danger and escaped in advance, but a dozen beggars were killed."
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows slightly.
Two hours ago, it was between Chou time and Yin time.
There was still a curfew at that time, so Beidou Society's killers were quite brave when they killed him.
And Li Wencheng was able to escape during the curfew, which is not bad at all.
He said: "Did those killers go straight to the place where we saw Li Wencheng yesterday, or did they search other places one by one before they found Li Wencheng?"
Xu Gou said: "They don't have Shao Ze's ability. They divided into several places where beggars gathered at the same time. Then they learned from those beggars that new beggars would be educated at the beggars' main forum, so they went Go to the main altar."
Shen Lian nodded slightly.
From this point of view, although Beichen was smart, he, like himself, deduced that Li Min had become a beggar and hid his identity.
but.
That Yi Beichen probably has no experience at the bottom, or his status is not low, and he has never been in contact with people at the bottom.
Therefore, even if one could guess that Li Wencheng would disguise himself as a beggar, he would not be able to find Li Wencheng immediately like he did.
Otherwise, if Beichen, like himself, had directly deduced where Li Wencheng was, and Li Wencheng still wanted to escape... then it would be just a wishful dream.
Of course, Shen Lian actually used Li Wen as bait, and naturally he would not let him be killed by Beichen's people so easily. If Beichen's killers really found Li Wencheng at the first time, then the manpower he arranged would save him at the critical moment. From Li Wencheng.
So no matter what conclusion Beichen makes, under his own leadership, he can only fail!
Shen Lian rarely takes the initiative to calculate anything. Most of the time, he just follows the trend and follows the plan.
This time he took the initiative to design, so he naturally has a big appetite, but some low-level killers can't satisfy his appetite.
At least...you have to be someone who is qualified to use a serial number to be worthy of your own plans.
Shen Lian asked: "When did those killers move out?"
Xu Gou said: "Go back to me, young master, before midnight last night."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking in his mind.
If you don't go out at midnight, it's midnight.
Zishi refers to the time from 11am to 1am, so it is considered 11am.
According to Xu Gou's previous report, the killer was going to kill him between seven and nine o'clock, but found that Li Wencheng was missing.
So take the middle value, which is eight points.
Even if the killer quickly sent a message to Beichen after discovering that Li Wencheng was missing, Beichen, like himself, spent almost no time in inferring that Li Wencheng would pretend to be a beggar, and then quickly replied to the letter.
Then the time is fifteen hours.
A round trip is fifteen hours, and a one way trip is seven and a half hours.
This is the most, after all, writing letters or other things will delay some time.
Of course, Shen Lian also made a rough estimate, so let's consider it a limit.
And in seven and a half hours, if the messenger is delivering the message, he will definitely not go far. Not to mention anything else, just Chang'an City and the checkpoint outside the city can be stuck for an hour.
It only takes more than six hours to ride a horse in the sky, and the limit of a sweat-blooded horse is to travel a thousand miles a day. Ordinary horses can run three to four hundred miles in more than six hours, which is the limit.
What if a flying pigeon delivers a message?
Flying pigeons are not restricted by levels and can fly farther, but pigeons are not the kind of creatures that can fly continuously for a long time. They must also have time to rest. Even at full speed, they may not be faster than horses.
But it can fly in a straight line, regardless of terrain restrictions, so if a flying pigeon is used to convey messages, the distance will be longer.
But no matter how far it goes, five hundred miles is the limit!
Time and other things are all limits calculated by Shen Lian!
In this case, we can know that Beichen's current hiding place is a place with Chang'an as the center and a radius of 500 miles.
If Beichen wanted to get clear information, he couldn't be in the deep mountains and old forests, he must be in a populated place.
The village does not consider it. If there are strangers in the village, it will be easy to discover and suspect.
Therefore, it can be roughly judged that Beichen's current location is a state city or a group of counties within a radius of 500 miles from Chang'an. Chang'an is surrounded by mountains and there are not many state cities.
In addition, Beichen was serious about killing Li Wencheng. He was worried that Li Wencheng would fall into his hands, so he would never delay.
Therefore, it is also possible to exclude those states, cities and counties that are as far away from Chang'an as possible, at least within two hundred miles.
To sum it up like this... there are no more than thirty hiding places at most.
Shen Lian's eyes flashed, and he suddenly returned to the room, took some paper, wrote down the name of the place he had guessed, and handed it to Xu Gou.
