Li Wencheng, who was about to walk out, suddenly stopped when he heard this.
He looked at Shen Lian in disbelief and said, "The master has changed? You...the new master?"
Qin Wenyuan's lips curled up: "Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, get out of here. I don't have time to talk nonsense with a little person like you."
Hearing Shen Lian's disdainful tone, Li Wencheng felt relieved.
Seeing the change in Li Wencheng's expression, Shen Lian was filled with emotion.
What a bastard!
It won’t work without scolding or beating.
These guys are so sick!
"Tell me what you want to do and how much remuneration you are prepared to pay."
Shen Lian said with a proud look on his face: "I'm not bragging to you, as long as you can pay enough remuneration, even if you want Li Shimin's head, I will chop it off for you."
Chang'an underground world, in a sealed room.
When Li Wencheng heard Shen Lian say: "As long as the money is enough, Li Shimin's head can be chopped off", there were only two words in his mind, pretense! Shad sculpture!!
I really believed your lies!
With so few people in the underground world and so many bugs who dare not see the light of day, you still want to kill His Majesty Li Shimin?
Dream on!
What a brag!
Li Wencheng didn't believe it at all.
But precisely because of this, he was less defensive about Shen Lian.
Because in his opinion, if these bugs living here don't blow up, it would be wrong!
The more he brags, the more he can show that there is nothing wrong with his identity.
With such a person, he can feel more at ease.
Moreover, the person in front of him dared to directly say that he would kill Li Shimin, which showed that he really had no respect for the imperial court.
So even if they knew they were wanted criminals, nothing would happen to them.
The only thing... was that he had just been locked up for no reason, and he didn't know why.
He thought these guys were going to take advantage of others.
But he didn't expect that he would be released after a while.
I really don't understand what these bugs are thinking.
Li Wencheng didn't notice that as he felt more at ease, his raised eyebrows gradually calmed down.
The whole person has also become more relaxed from being extremely vigilant just now.
And all these prove that his suspicion and vigilance towards himself are decreasing.
Shen Lian smiled faintly. With his ability, he could even hide it from Yu Wencheng, let alone Li Wencheng.
However, Shen Lian would not be careless in the slightest.
After all, this guy in front of me is not simple!
Lord Ichiji, if you don’t have the ability and brains, how can you achieve this position!!
Bai Yanguan, the young minister of Dali Temple, already put a lot of pressure on him, Shen Shen, let alone the minister of the temple.
He had to be careful at all times, not to reveal his flaws at this time.
"Tell me, what do you want to do? What can you give us?"
Shen Lian looked at Li Wencheng and did not hide his suspicion. He said: "Look at your desolate appearance. I doubt that you don't have a single coin. What can you give us as a pauper?"
Li Wencheng was not upset when he heard Shen Lian's doubts.
He looked at Shen Lian and his tone became much calmer.
"There's only one thing I have to do."
"What's up?"
"I want to leave Chang'an City without anyone noticing, without disturbing anyone."
Shen Lian did not answer Li Wencheng immediately. He tapped his fingers on the table a few times, pondered for a moment, and said, "I need to know your current situation."
Li Wencheng said: "The government should be looking for me. Even if there is no notice posted, the guards at the city gate must have my portrait, and it is said that there is a checkpoint outside the city!"
"The government is checking everyone this time, including their ultimatums and documents. I have nothing, so I'm trying to find a way to help me solve this!"
"In addition, there is another force that wants to kill me! That force is extremely powerful and its methods are extremely cruel. Once discovered by them, I may be in great danger."
Li Wencheng had nothing to hide.
It's not that he believes in Shen Lian, but he knows that if what he said is incomplete, then the underground world may be negligent in some aspects.
If something goes wrong then, he will really be dead, so he has no choice.
When Shen Lian heard Li Wencheng's words, he thought to himself, "This Li Wencheng really knows everything. He obviously didn't leave Chang'an City for half a step, and he was beaten to death, but he didn't even reach the checkpoint outside the city, and he was very careful when observing Everything is known."
I have to admit, I really have some skills!
Shen Lian deliberately pondered for a while before speaking, "I need to know the specific situation of the force that wants to kill you."
Li Wencheng shook his head, "It's very mysterious. It's too specific for me to say or reveal."
"But I can say that there are at least twenty killers they sent this time, and there may be a person who is not weak in leadership. They are very strong. If they are against ordinary guards, these twenty An individual can easily defeat a hundred guardsmen."
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there a leader with strong means? Who?"
Li Wencheng shook his head: "I don't know, I'm just saying it's possible. In order to kill me, they will probably use an important person, but I don't know who it is. It may be that I overestimate myself, and they may not take me that seriously."
Shen Lian's eyes narrowed slightly.
An important person, what person?
Could it be other members of the Beidou Society who have star serial numbers?
The only ones left are Tianshu, Kaiyang and Tianxuan?
One of the three is not impossible.
If Li Wencheng really knows some important secret, Beichen is not close to Chang'an City and cannot provide guidance at all times, and he still exists in Chang'an City. Beichen must be worried that he will find Li Wencheng faster.
Therefore, it is not impossible to send a major figure from the Beidou Society who is originally in Chang'an or near Chang'an to take action.
The key to this is to see how important the secret Li Wencheng knows is.
Shen Lian tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and his eyes swept over Li Wencheng's face. He could see that Li Wencheng was already somewhat resistant and wary of his inquiry.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I can't continue to ask questions. Firstly, Li Wencheng may not say it, and secondly, it will arouse Li Wencheng's suspicion.
After all, as a person in the underground world, you don't care who is behind you. As long as you are given enough money and benefits, you will dare to do anything.
He breathed out gently and said calmly: "The imperial court is arresting you, and there are no less than twenty top masters chasing you. The price of either one of these two is not cheap, let alone two. Come together.”
Li Wencheng's eyes lit up and his voice became a little faster: "Can you really help me?"
Shen Lian said proudly: "Didn't I tell you just now? As long as you give me enough money, you can cut off Li Shimin's head. Do you think that our basement has been operating in Chang'an for so many years and we really can't do anything?"
"I just took you out of Chang'an City, what does that mean?"
Although Li Wencheng felt that Shen Lian was mostly bragging, he also knew that the underground world had been operating in Chang'an for many years and must have its own channels.
This is also the reason why he came to the underground world.
He took a deep breath and said: "I have two mansions in Chang'an, both of which have never been lived in. They are worth about three thousand three hundred taels."
"At the same time, I also have 5,000 taels of copper coins hidden outside Chang'an City, which adds up to 8,300 taels. This money is all my savings, so it's not a small amount, right?"
According to the price level in the early Tang Dynasty, this money was equivalent to one or two years of tax revenue for a state or city.
This is really not low.
And with Li Wencheng's salary, he wouldn't be able to earn so much money in hundreds of years.
From this we can see how greedy Li Wencheng is.
Shen Lian said: "Humph! You are empty-mouthed, how can I trust you?"
Li Wencheng directly picked up the brush and wrote an address on the paper.
He handed it to Shen Lian and said, "Send someone here. There is a box in the cabinet. It contains the deeds of the two mansions. If you take it, it will be yours and it will be considered as my deposit."
"The rest of my money is outside Chang'an City. As long as you send me away, I will find the money and pay you the balance."
Shen Lian looked at the address and said with a smile: "It's refreshing! The price is not low!"
"As long as we confirm that the property deed is genuine, then I will take over the job!"
Li Wencheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
In fact, he has been planning for today's action for a long time. He is worried that sooner or later his identity will be leaked, so he has made arrangements a long time ago.
Therefore, these house deeds and money have spirit.
However, he did not dare to bet on his credibility with these vicious guys, but he was also afraid that they would not believe him, so he separated the yellow line from the money.
In this case, as long as they are greedy for money, they must protect themselves and escort themselves away.
This is also the last insurance he gives himself within the scope of what he can do.
And the facts proved that he was right in his bet.
No matter whether the masked man in front of him really wants to help him or is pretending, as long as he is greedy for money, he will never betray him until he receives the balance.
Shen Lian looked at Li Wencheng secretly breathing a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Li Wencheng has completely trusted his image of being greedy and bragging.
So you have no doubt about yourself.
He thinks that he is really greedy for money, and he thinks that everything he does is under his control.
But little did he know that from the moment he truly believed in himself, he had already fallen into the palm of his own hands and could not escape.
However, if you should act, you still have to continue acting.
"Someone is coming!"
Shen Lian spoke.
Soon the door opened and the dog, also wearing a mask, walked in.
Shen Lian gave Xu Gou the address and ordered: "Let someone go check it out immediately."
"yes!"
Xu Gou turned around and left without any hesitation.
Shen Lian looked at Li Wencheng and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are very fast when it comes to money. I believe the news will come out soon."
Li Wencheng was naturally not in a hurry.
"Dong dong dong."
And at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"What's wrong?" Shen Lian asked.
Xu Gou opened a small crack and said, "Someone is here again and wants to see the master."
"Who?" Shen Lian asked.
Xu Gou shook his head: "I don't know."
"What are they going to do?"
"It seems that they hope to find someone through us."
"Who are you looking for?"
Xu Gou looked at Shen Lian and said, "Li Wencheng, the minister of Guanglu Temple!"
Brush it!
Li Wencheng, who was sitting there leisurely, waiting for the good news to come, suddenly changed his face when he heard Xu Gou's words.
He subconsciously looked out through the crack in the door.
And when he saw a person outside, the killer who killed those beggars at night and asked for his whereabouts, his hands and feet were cold, and his face turned pale and bloodless in an instant.
Shen Lian glanced away from Li Wencheng's face, and when he saw Li Wencheng's frightened expression, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
It's interesting that I came to my door so quickly.
This is really interesting.
"It's them, it's them who want to kill me!"
Li Wencheng could no longer hide the fear in his heart at this time.
He is indeed somewhat smart and has indeed made a lot of preparations, but the prerequisite for those preparations is that he is still alive.
If he dies now, no matter how many preparations he makes, it will be of no use.
The backup plan he prepared outside Chang'an City was of no value anymore.
Under the huge threat of death, Li Wencheng's hands and feet were cold, and his whole reason and intelligence seemed to be frozen at this moment.
He quickly looked at Shen Lian who was wearing a mask. At this time, he could only place all his hopes on Shen Lian.
He knew that his life and death were decided by the person in front of him.
"You have promised to help me, so you must protect me."
Li Wencheng looked at Shen Lian and said hurriedly.
Shen Lian's mask looked at Li Wencheng. Li Wencheng couldn't see Shen Lian's face, but he could see a pair of cold, arrogant, and somewhat crazy eyes.
This is a pair of eyes that make people feel a little frightened when they look at them.
Li Wencheng subconsciously took a step back, not even daring to say harsh words.
Shen Lian looked at Li Wencheng calmly. Li Wencheng's heartbeat was beating like a drum and seemed to be about to explode. He couldn't help but swallow, for fear that Shen Lian would betray him in the blink of an eye.
After a while, cursing sounds came from outside the door. It seemed that the killers had been waiting for a long time and were a little impatient.
Shen Lian laughed at this moment and said, "Why are you nervous?"
"Although our hands and feet in the underground world are not clean, and we cannot see the light, we cannot appear openly in front of the officers and soldiers."
"Maybe in the eyes of you people, we are all demons, but we bad guys also have professional ethics!"
"Since I have promised you in advance, I will not betray you. Although our people have not confirmed the authenticity of your house deed yet, I am willing to believe you, so now our transaction is considered a deal."
When Li Wencheng heard Shen Lian's words, although he still doubted the integrity of these bugs in the underground world, he knew that now he could only hope that the Lord of the underground world in front of him was truly honest.
Otherwise, you will definitely die.
