Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

"It's up to you to solve the case immediately within one day, or I, the Tubo cavalry, will crush your Tang Dynasty!"

Qin Ziyi was also very anxious when she heard what they said.

Do you think I don't want to solve the case?

Do you think I want your highness to die?
Oh, this one is hopeful!

But we didn't kill it, what are you and me doing!
He was very aggrieved in his heart, but he had to keep a smile on his face. After all, it was the Tubo prince who died, and his status was too unusual.

If it is not handled well, there may really be a war.

After all, he knew that Tubo Khan had two sons, and this prince was the last one.

The previous crown prince was assassinated two months ago, so he was the only one left.

Now that the last prince of Tubo is dead, it is equivalent to the death of the Tubo Khan!

Damn it, if this news gets back, the Tubo Khan will go crazy!

If he doesn't give a good explanation, Tubo Khan may really go crazy with Datang.

So no matter how aggrieved Qin Ziyi felt, she could only nod and bow.

"Qin Shaoqing, what's the situation?"

And at this moment, Shen Lian's voice sounded behind Qin Ziyi.

When Qin Ziyi heard this familiar voice, she was almost moved to tears.

"Commander Shen, you are finally here."

For some reason, the moment she heard Qin Ziyi's voice, Qin Ziyi's flustered heart immediately fell to the ground.

Immediately I felt confident....
Shen Lian came over, lightly patted Qin Ziyi on the shoulder, looked back and forth at the aggressive Tubo guards, and said indifferently: "If you want us to solve the case as soon as possible, find the murderer as soon as possible, and avenge your Tubo prince as soon as possible, then give I shut your mouth! Otherwise..."

Shen Lian glanced coldly at the faces of these Tibetan guards and said coldly: "I don't mind, but I will write a letter to your Tubo Khan and tell him how your Tibetan guards prevented me from judging the case. You are like this Did you do it on purpose, not wanting the truth to come to light... I will suggest that Tubo Khan investigate this matter carefully."

Suddenly, as soon as Shen Lian said these words, the expressions of the Tibetan guards who had just been aggressive towards Qin Ziyi suddenly changed.

They didn't protect Qihela well, if Shen Lian practiced another book like this, then they would definitely die!

They hurriedly said: "You..."

"To shut up!"

Shen Lian scolded: "I tell you to speak before you speak, otherwise you should be quiet. I don't like to say the same thing a third time!"

The faces of these Tubo guards suddenly turned blue and red.

They clenched their hands tightly into fists, but they were finally defeated by Shen Lian's calm gaze. They lowered their heads, and they really didn't say a word.

Qin Ziyi looked so happy here!
He explained it like that, and his saliva was dry, and these people didn't care about themselves.

As a result, when Commander Shen came, they withered!
However, Qin Ziyi also knew that the prestige of the Chu Palace was great, and Shen Lian's reputation was also rising. That's why the Tubo guards who were able to scold him did not dare to raise their heads.

If he did the same, it is estimated that what awaited him would be their knives.

Shen Lian didn't look at the Tubo guards again, he turned his head and waved to Qin Ziyi, saying, "Qin Shaoqing, come here."

Qin Ziyi followed Shen Lian and entered Tiangang No. [-] Courtyard.

As Shen Lian walked, he asked, "Tell me about the situation you have now."

Qin Ziyi hurriedly said: "About an hour ago, the Tubo guards guarding the door suddenly heard a scream from the Tubo prince's room. They were worried and hurried to knock on the door, but there was no response after knocking for a long time."

"They were worried that something might happen, so they kicked open the door, and when they entered the room, they found that the Tubo prince had been killed."

"After the inspection, Qihela and the murderer once fought, and then the murderer chopped off his head."

"Wu Zuo's estimated time of death is consistent with the last scream heard by those guards."

"But the strange thing is..."

Qin Ziyi looked at Shen Lian, saw that Shen Lian's expression was calm, the same as before, and continued: "The strange thing is... The doors and windows of Qihela's room are all locked, and these guards are right in front of the door. From the sound to the door being knocked open, it only takes a dozen or so breaths."

"But when they went to the room, there was no one except Qihela's body."

"so….…"

Shen Lian stepped into the room and said, "Is it a secret room murder?"

After Shen Lian entered the room, his gaze immediately swept across the entire room.

In this room, the tables and chairs were overturned, and the tables and chairs were scattered on the ground. It can be seen that there seems to be a fierce battle here.

The teacups were scattered all over the place, and the tea was spilled all over the place. At the same time, a scarlet blood trail also came into Shen Lian's eyes.

Shen Lian continued to walk in, and next to a chair, he saw the head of Tubo Prince Qihela.

And Qihela's headless corpse was lying on the couch and fell on the quilt.

The quilt was also stained red with blood, which looked shocking.

Shen Lian carefully inspected Qihela's wound, and asked: "Wu Zuo said, what kind of weapon did the crime?"

"Knife!"

Qin Ziyi replied: "Wu Zuo said it was a knife, a very thin and sharp knife."

"Is it very thin? Is it very sharp? Is it our Datang's horizontal sword?" Shen Lian asked.

Qin Ziyi lowered his voice and said: "Wu Zuo said that it is very similar to the Hengdao of the Tang Dynasty, but the Hengdao of the Tang Dynasty does not mean that it is the case done by the people of the Tang Dynasty..."

"Besides, those Tubo people were already dissatisfied with us. If they knew that the weapon used to kill their master was the Tang sword, it would inevitably cause them to misunderstand... Therefore, the lower officials have not told them that the weapon used to kill them may be What is it?"

Shen Lian glanced at Qin Ziyi, and said indifferently: "What is there to hide? When we handle the case, do we still have to hide it?"

"It was nothing at first, just a weapon, but you deliberately conceal it like this. Once they find out, it may show that we are feeling guilty."

"So, don't hide it, what we know, tell them in real time, let them know that my Tang Dynasty is standing up straight!"

When Qin Ziyi heard this, she only felt that Shen Lian was domineering and confident.

He nodded quickly and said: "Commander Shen didn't come here before, and I didn't know what to do. Now that Commander Shen is here, I'm not afraid of anything. I'll tell them now."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

Qin Ziyi left, and he walked to Qihe La's head, squatted down, and looked at the dead head on the ground with deep eyes.

"Looking at your last expression of shock and disbelief, you probably didn't expect this to be the result, right?"

Shen Lian whispered calmly, went to the window to check the lock of the window, and then carefully surveyed the scene before walking out.

When I arrived in the courtyard, I saw that the courtyard was full of people.

The envoys from other countries are all standing here, whispering.

Some of their faces were nervous, some were worried, some were fearful, some were puzzled, and some were very happy.

Different people, with different expressions, expressed their complicated and different thoughts in their hearts.

Seeing Shen Lian walk out of the room, they hurried forward to inquire.

"Commander Shen, Commander Shen, how about Commander Shen?"

"Who is the murderer?"

"Who is so hateful? Even the Tubo prince was killed?"

"I heard the heads were all chopped off, is that true?"

These envoys kept asking you what you said and what I said.

They were really nervous.

First Bolu, then Baekje.

Now, even the Tubo prince has been killed!
This is the Tubo prince!

The Tubo prince who lives in Tiangang No. [-] courtyard!
Among these envoys, one with the highest status!
And it's still in the station!
This made the envoys of other countries really feel at a loss.

The previous two cases both happened outside Chang'an City, and none of the envoys of major powers died, so although they were concerned, they were not that worried.

But this time is different.

This time it was inside the post station, and the one who died was the strongest envoy of a great power, so how could they feel at ease?
Even Anthony, the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom, the envoys of Nanzhao, etc., all looked a lot more dignified.

Shen Lian's eyes swept over them one by one. His eyes were calm and his temperament was very calm. His clear eyes swept over everyone, as if giving everyone a sense of stability and calm. This made their originally nervous hearts, They felt much more relaxed now.

The discussion gradually subsided.

At this time, Shen Lian opened his mouth, and he said: "I know the worries in everyone's hearts. This time, to be honest, I am also shocked and terrified!"

"At the post station, my Tang Dynasty invested thousands of guards to protect everyone, but I didn't expect that they were still captured by thieves!"

"I won't refuse. This is the responsibility of my Great Tang. It is my Great Tang who failed to protect you. My Great Tang will definitely give you an explanation!"

Shen Lian first comforted these envoys and expressed Datang's apology and sincerity.

In this case,
The homicide happened in the post station, which is completely different from the previous cases, and has a lot to do with Datang.

So Datang must show some sincerity, regardless of whether he will really explain it later, but at least, let each other get along with each other in terms of face.

In national games, besides interests, the most important thing is face.

And sure enough, after hearing Shen Lian's words, these envoys looked a little better.

Shen Lian continued: "It is inconvenient for me to say too much about this case now."

"But if you know the past cases I have handled, then you should know my strength, so... I can give you a promise."

Shen Lian stretched out a finger and said, "One day, it only takes one day. Before tomorrow's dark, I will definitely find out the real culprit and bring the real culprit to justice, so that everyone can rest assured."

Nanzhao envoy Wang Chengdao raised his eyebrows when he heard Shen Lian's words, and asked, "Commander Shen, but what clues have you found?"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian chuckled: "Of course I found some clues, otherwise I would not dare to make such a promise."

"However, in order to prevent the murderer from jumping over the wall in a hurry, I would like to ask this officer to keep it a secret. For some clues that can be revealed temporarily, you can ask Jing Zhaoyin, and he will tell the truth. But if it involves deeper clues, please ask this officer to be inconvenient for the time being. Say it."

The Tubo guard frowned, and just as he was about to say something, the envoys from the small countries nodded.

"We understand!"

"That's right, Commander Shen, you can investigate with peace of mind. The investigation is important, and we all understand it!"

"If you need us, just tell us! In order to find the murderer, we will cooperate with all our strength!"

"That's right, if anyone doesn't cooperate, it means that they have a guilty conscience and may be the murderer!"

The envoys of these small countries directly accepted Qin Wenyuan's proposal after you said a word, and he said a word.

And set up everyone else.

If you don't cooperate with Shen Lian, you are the murderer!

As soon as these words came out, Anthony and the others immediately cursed in their hearts.

They were happy to see that Shen Lian couldn't find the real culprit, and was hated by everyone.

This is in their best interest!

But before they had a chance to speak, the envoys from these small countries rushed to curry favor with Shen Lian and directly decided the matter.

This made them really aggrieved and helpless.

Before, they looked down on the envoys of small countries.

But now, they discovered that although the small country is small, the combination of more than 50 small countries is not weaker than their behemoth.

Even they, at this juncture, dare not object openly.

So, in desperation, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Shen Lian was really touched when he saw that these small envoys had made all the preparations for him without him having to ask.

Look, this is the harvest of sending warmth.

It is inconvenient for him to say some things, after all, this incident has something to do with Datang's ineffective protection.

But it is reasonable for these envoys to speak.

He cupped his hands and said: "Since this is the case, time is tight, so I will not waste time."

"Everyone, I may ask you some questions later, please answer truthfully, and I will verify your answers from the side."

"If any of you lied..."

Shen Lian scanned the faces of Anthony, Wang Chengdao and others one by one, and said calmly: "...then please forgive me for being rude. Anyone who panics has a guilty conscience! If you don't have a guilty conscience, how can you lie? So, everyone ......."

Shen Lian said meaningfully: "You must answer truthfully..."

"Of course, if you think you can hide it from me, you can also lie."

"It's just... Can you hide it from my eyes?"

It was still pitch black at this time.

The weather had been cloudy for most of the night, and finally some raindrops fell.

Rain in late autumn often means another drop in temperature.

Shen Lian found a clean and quiet room in the station, and walked in directly.

He ordered the room to be cleaned, and there was nothing but a table and a few chairs.

Shen Lian and Qin Ziyi sat at the back of the table. He sent someone to bring the Four Treasures of the Study, and then put the candles on the table.
