Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

"You don't really think this is all we have?"

"You don't really think... that we think we can get rid of Mr. Qin's right wing Shen Lian with just one dead man?"

"Li Shimin is so partial to the King of Chu. Not to mention that Shen Lian is a first-rate case solver, even if Shen Lian cannot solve the case, do you think Li Shimin will be willing to let Master Qin and his men suffer?"

"So, how could we possibly use Wang Wenru's death as a killing move against Shen Lian!"

Hearing what the housekeeper said, Abao's expression changed slightly.

Even Qin Ziyi, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, changed his expression.

what is happening!
They could feel that the man in front of them, who seemed to have some mental problems, did not seem to be lying.

Could it be that... they really have a backup plan that we don't know about?
As for the officials, they were simply stunned.

What happened?
They originally thought that the housekeeper was Wang Wenru's subordinate.

But why does it sound like... this doesn't seem like it?

Even with Wang Wenru's death, they felt as if they were being used.
Then...what is my status here?
These officials suddenly felt that their brains were not enough. After listening to the butler's words, they felt that they were really stupid.

Now, I don’t understand the development…

However, Shen Lian did not seem to be too surprised by the butler's reaction.

Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he finally showed some interest.

"Are you finally ready to have some fun?"

Shen Lian laughed: "I said, Beichen has suffered so much at the hands of our Chu Palace. If he doesn't learn his lesson, I will be really disappointed. After all, there is a saying...You are the same level as your enemy."

"so….…"

He looked at the housekeeper and said, "How else do you want to play?"

"Besides, before we have fun, I, Shen Lian, think you should introduce yourself. I think you should be well-known for your status. I don't think I don't know who my opponent is, right?"

The butler looked at Shen Lian deeply, then he chuckled and curled his lips: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but Beichen said that Mr. Qin's subordinates are too cunning, always setting traps and deliberately trapping us."

"What if you know something and you really guess my identity? Wouldn't I be in danger?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lian sneered.

"What are you laughing at?" The butler frowned.

Shen Lian looked at the housekeeper, his tone calm but extremely cold: "You have met me here, do you think there will be a dangerous future? Tonight, only one of you can survive, I die, or you die!"

"So, why are you still worrying about the future? Are you still worried that I will guess your identity in the future? Don't you think your thoughts are funny?"

“Could it be…?”

Shen Lian stared into the housekeeper's eyes, and said with a half-smile: "You are still so naive. Do you think we can forget our grudges with a smile tonight?"

Suddenly, the pupils in the housekeeper's eyes jumped suddenly.

He stared at Shen Lian with his eyes fixed, and suddenly, he burst into creepy laughter again.

"Shen Lian, you are really worthy of being me! No wonder the King of Chu entrusted you with such an important task! He made you the main person in charge of the tribute from all nations! You are brave and conscious enough! I thought I could fool you by saying this, making you think you still have a chance to leave alive, thus relaxing your vigilance, but I didn't expect that you would be so conscious!"

Shen Lian chuckled, raised his finger, and gently flicked off a small bee that had landed on his shoulder. Just like a scumbag who has turned his back on his loved ones, he completely forgot that it was the hard-working little bee that helped him find the secret passage.

He said calmly: "This is not called enlightenment, it's just... I know that there are no fairy tales in this world."

The butler's eyes were dim and his face was extremely gloomy, but there was not much tension on his face.

It can be seen that he is still very confident.

Even now, the initial advantage has been completely eliminated by Shen Lian, he is still so confident.

This made Abao feel a little heavy in his heart. The more this was the case, the more it proved that this person definitely had a backup plan, and it was a strong one.

"But even if you don't tell me who you are..."

The corners of Shen Lian's mouth suddenly curled up, and his deep eyes were sparkling at this moment, making people dare not look directly at him.

He stared at the housekeeper and said slowly: "I, Shen Lian... already know who you are."

Brush it.

The butler suddenly raised his head and his eyes instantly fixed on Shen Lian.

Those officials, whether intentionally or unintentionally, subconsciously looked at Shen Lian.

Even Qin Ziyi and Abao looked at Shen Lian in surprise.

Their eyes were full of inquiry, not knowing whether what Shen Lian said was true or false.

The butler's eyes were also sharp at this moment. He stared at Shen Lian intently, as if he wanted to find an evasive or lack of confidence in Shen Lian's eyes, but... he was disappointed.

Because Shen Lian had never known how to write the words "lack of confidence" since he was a child. With his intelligence, it was impossible for him to have such an experience.

"Do you really know who I am?" The butler stared at Qin Wenyuan with sharp eyes.

Shen Lian caught the butler's sharp gaze and chuckled, "Is it difficult?"

He looked the butler over from head to toe.

Then he said slowly: "The clothes are loose and the length is short!"

"Wang Wenru is from an aristocratic family. He cares a lot about his reputation and other people's opinions. So how could his servants, especially the housekeeper, wear clothes that don't fit him so well?"

"Of course... not much bigger, but a wealthy family, especially one as proud as Wang Wenru, would never let the clothes not fit. After all, wouldn't it seem like the Wang family is mistreating their servants by not even giving them clothes that fit?"

"So, maybe you didn't notice it, maybe you thought your height didn't make much of a difference, so you didn't pay attention to the details."

"But it's these details that make me... when I see you for the first time..."

Shen Lian's eyes flashed, and he said confidently: "I was alert, so I left spices on you and counted the time silently."

"Because...when I first saw you, I knew..."

The butler clenched his fists and stared at Shen Lian. Shen Lian raised the corner of his mouth, sneered at the butler, and said lightly: "You are simply a fake!"

The wind is blowing.

The windows were swaying constantly due to the blowing.

The candlelight in the room also kept dancing with the night wind, and the moving candlelight kept lingering on the butler's face, making the butler's face flickering, making it difficult to see his true thoughts.

The butler stared at Shen Lian with his eyes. After hearing Shen Lian's words that he had seen through his disguise at first sight, he took a deep breath and shook his head slightly.

He said with emotion: "I see, so you had seen through all this so early on... No wonder."

He shook his head and said, "No wonder you made so many preparations in advance, including timing it and injecting spices into me when I wasn't paying attention."

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "So, when I entered the hall, you had already anticipated that I would use this method to frame you?"

Even though he heard that Shen Lian had seen through his words from the beginning, the butler did not show any tension or worry on his face. He just felt a little emotional, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.

Shen Lian looked at the butler deeply. He knew that Beidou Club must want to get back at him this time. After all, they lost so badly to him last time.

Therefore, they must have a backup plan.

And this is also the reason why the butler is still so calm.

But... they have a backup plan, so do I?
I knew clearly that Wang Wenru was the problematic person at Taiji Temple a few days ago, I knew clearly that Wang Wenru was related to Beichen, and I knew clearly that there was something wrong with this banquet, so...how come I didn't have any preparation at all?
Therefore... at the end of this game, what is being compared is who can see farther, think more, has more agile strategies, and has more powerful cards.

And these...Shen Lian has never been afraid of them.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. The butler was so calm now. He just hoped that he could remain calm after hearing what he said next.

It's a rare opportunity for you to go there knowing that there are tigers there. It would be a pity if you don't have a good time.

So he really hoped that the butler and the others could hold on a little longer.

He smiled gently, and in response to the housekeeper's question, he shook his head slightly and said, "I am not a god, and I cannot predict the future. Naturally, I don't know that you let Wang Wenru commit suicide in order to deal with me."

"Although I cannot predict the future, I have made adequate preparations to avoid an uncontrollable future."

"So what we did to you was just the most basic operation after we determined that you were a fake. It's not a big deal, and it's not worth mentioning publicly."

"after all.……"

Shen Lian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Only people like you who are arrogant and underestimate me, Shen Lian, and dare to walk in front of me will fall into the trap. If it were Beichen or Yuheng, I think... they would never give me the opportunity to make these preparations."

When the butler heard Shen Lian's words, his face turned ugly again.

He stared at Shen Lian intently, but soon he flicked his sleeves, suppressed the rage in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Shen Lian, didn't you say you knew my identity? Then tell me."

"You were able to detect that I was not a real butler from the beginning based on those details. That's really impressive... But you are not the only one who can do that. I think anyone who observes meticulously can do that."

"So, you have nothing to be proud of! If you can really guess my identity, then I will admit that you are really capable."

When Abao heard this, he immediately became unhappy.

He said: "You are exaggerating. There are many people who can see through your disguise at a glance... Ask those officials, they were all brought there by you, ask them, who saw through it?"

"You have made careful observations. These words can indeed be said with just a few words. But you can say them, but can you do them? You can't even do them yourself. I don't know where you get the nerve to say that. It's nothing to my master to say that."

"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone more shameless than you! It's really disgusting!"

The housekeeper's face darkened.

"You are seeking death!"

He gritted his teeth, and the anger that he had just suppressed was about to explode.

He allowed Shen Lian to ridicule him. After all, Shen Lian had the ability to do so. He said it was nothing, but he was still jealous in his heart.

But what kind of person is Abao, a mere warrior?
He even dares to mock himself!
"Your shoes..."

At this moment, before the butler had time to get angry, Shen Lian's voice suddenly rang out.

"what?"

The housekeeper was startled and subconsciously looked at Shen Lian.

Then he saw Shen Lian looking at his shoes.

Shen Lian said calmly: "Your shoes are made of high-quality fabric from Jiangnan. This kind of fabric is supplied exclusively to the royal family by a cloth shop and is provided in limited quantities each year. So these are definitely not shoes that a butler can wear."

"Also, the size of the shoes fits your feet perfectly. However, your height and weight are somewhat different from those of a real butler, as can be seen from the ill-fitting clothes. Therefore, the size of your feet should also be different from that of a butler."

"Therefore, considering these two points, these shoes are not the butler's, but yours!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and immediately looked at the shoes of the person in front of them.

The housekeeper's eyes flickered slightly at this moment.

Shen Lianwen continued, "If the clothes don't fit, you can wear them, but if the shoes don't fit, they will be very uncomfortable to wear."

"Whether the shoes are too big or too small, they will affect your movements. And you have to complete the quick dash from here to the gate in twenty breaths, so you must not allow your shoes to be ill-fitting and affect your plan."

"So, after you found out that the housekeeper's shoes didn't fit your feet, you simply wore your own shoes. You thought no one would be idle enough to care about your shoes, so you didn't care much."

"But unfortunately..."

Shen Lian smiled softly: "I, Shen Lian, am the kind of person who has nothing to do when I am idle."

"Perhaps solving cases has become an instinct of mine. I pay special attention to anything that is out of place. Your clothes don't fit, but your shoes fit so well. This immediately and subconsciously attracted my attention."

He looked at the butler and said, "So, the fact that you can wear shoes made of this fabric can only prove that...either you are a member of the royal family and a share of it was distributed to you, or His Majesty once gave it to you as a reward."

"And these fabrics can be considered new products, specially supplied this year. If Your Majesty is to give them as rewards, only a few people will be able to do so!"

"so.……"

Shen Lian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at the butler whose expression could no longer remain calm, and said with a smile: "Among the royal family members, and those people His Majesty has rewarded with cloth this year... you are among them!" (End of this chapter)
