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

"Commander Shen, this is such a grand ceremony. As the main person in charge, you left us here for a whole day. The Bolor envoys were killed, and you kept making excuses. You didn't even give a practical explanation. Why?"

Qihela said coldly: "Does Datang think we are not worthy of being taken seriously by you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of some envoys changed.

Shen Lian glanced at Qihela and chuckled, "Your Highness, the Tibetan Crown Prince, don't play language games with me and try to put the Tang Dynasty on the opposite side of you. It's useless."

"In our Tang Dynasty, we have always treated you as our most distinguished guests..."

"Distinguished guests? The envoys were killed, but you were clueless and did nothing. Is this called respect?" Qihela said.

Shen Lian chuckled, his expression remained unchanged despite Qihela's aggressiveness.

He said: "How does His Royal Highness the Tibetan Crown Prince know that we have done nothing?"

"Since His Royal Highness asked, I will answer it seriously."

Shen Lian swept his eyes over the envoys and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince just said that I didn't show up all day, which was disrespectful to you. Your Highness is wrong."

"I have not appeared here because I respect and value the envoys. I was at the scene where the Bolor envoy was killed."

As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, many envoys' eyes widened suddenly.

Although Shen Lian did not hide the fact that he went to the scene, not many people knew about it. And because Shen Lian did not tell Zhao Hai whether to reveal where he was going, Zhao Hai did not say a word about Shen Lian.

Therefore, not many people knew that Shen Lian went to the scene.

Hearing Shen Lian's words, the envoys all looked at Shen Lian hurriedly.

Shen Lian continued, "I am the person in charge of all the envoys this time, and I am also an official of the Tang Dynasty, responsible for criminal investigation. So, in a serious and responsible manner, I immediately rushed to the scene to investigate after I learned of the murder."

"And as a result, I actually found out something."

"What was found?"

Qihela asked quickly: "Do you know who the murderer is? Who is it?"

Everyone also looked at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian looked at Qihela meaningfully and said, "Your Highness the Tubo Crown Prince wants to know the results of the investigation so much. What are you worried about?"

Qihela was stunned for a moment, then his face immediately turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Shen Lian, stop talking nonsense, what should I worry about? This is not something I did!"

"Why are you so angry, Your Highness? It seems like you are just a coward and extremely frustrated." Shen Lian said sarcastically.

“You, you…”

Qihela suddenly glared in anger.

Before he could finish his words, Shen Lian continued: "However, I did find some things. These things are crucial evidence to solve the case. Among them..."

He glanced at Qihela and said, "It does have some relationship with Tubo."

"what?"

Qihela was stunned.

He suddenly turned around to look, and saw some envoys who were very close to him just now, at this moment, suddenly took a few steps back, as if he was infected with the plague.

This made his face change immediately, and he shouted: "Shen Lian, don't talk nonsense, I Tubo didn't do this at all, don't frame me Tubo!"

"Even if you are an official of the Tang Dynasty, if you falsely accuse me of Tubo for no reason, I will not let you go!"

….….….….….….
Qihela was one of the few smart people among the Turks. He knew very well that if he did not eliminate the suspicion, the last few younger brothers who followed him steadfastly would also develop grudges against him, and he would then be left alone.

Therefore, he had to make Shen Lian admit in person that he had framed him.

However, Shen Lian was not as nervous as he expected when he heard this. On the contrary, Shen Lian raised his lips slightly and said, "But I really found some evidence at the scene. At least for now, this evidence can prove that Tubo is a suspect..."

"So, this is not a false accusation, this is a reasonable inference! Your Highness, how are you going to explain it..."

Shen Lian took out the waist badge of Tubo Langmie from his arms and said calmly: "...Where is this thing?"

Brush it!
When the Tibetan Prince Qihela saw the Tibetan Wolf-killing Waist Badge in Shen Lian's hand, his eyes widened suddenly.

The whole person was shocked: "You, how come you have this badge?"

When the other envoys saw the change in Qihela's expression, they couldn't help but look at him curiously.

Langmie is Tubo's secret guard organization. Among the envoys present, there must be someone who knows about this organization. After all, Tubo's tentacles extend very far, and it is possible that some of the envoys have fought with Langmie.

But the essence of the Dark Guard Organization lies in concealment, so there must be people who have never heard of the word Langmie, let alone what Langmie is.

However, according to Qie La's changed expression at this time, some envoys, even if they didn't know what this card represented, they knew that it should have a lot to do with the Turks.

Shen Lian was very satisfied with Qihela's reaction.

Now I don't have to explain it myself. The fact that he saved himself proves that the waist badge is related to Tubo.

He said: "This was found at the crime scene, in the hands of a guard in Boluo. Even though the guard was dead, he still held the badge of your Tibetan Secret Guard Organization tightly in his hand, so..."

Shen Lian looked at Qihela's eyes which were getting bigger and bigger, and said, "I have a reasonable inference that this is the clue of the murderer that the Boluo guards are desperately trying to leave for us."

"So, Prince of Tubo, can you give us an explanation as to why your Tubo secret guard organization's badge appeared at the crime scene?"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Qihela.

Some people looked alert, some looked angry, and some looked nervous and fearful.

No one was surprised. At this moment, they all subconsciously moved away from Qihela, wishing they were a million miles away from Qihela.

Seeing that everyone was avoiding him as if he were the plague, Qihela became so angry that his face looked extremely ugly.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Someone must be trying to frame me, Tujue! I, Tujue, would never do such a thing!"

Anthony, the Arab envoy, said with a half-smile: "The evidence is all here. Can the Tubo prince just frame us and that's it? If it's so easy to get rid of suspicion, then what's the point of evidence?"

Tiele's eldest prince Aguda also said, "Yes, why is there no other person's badge at the scene, but your Tibetan secret guard An's badge? Your Highness Qiheila, I think you should give everyone an explanation."

“You…you guys…”

He was furious.

But his fists are strong, but his mouth is not so good.

Now he was so angry that his fists were clenched and clanging, but he didn't know how to refute.

Seeing that Qihela was speechless and almost pushed aside, Shen Lian coughed lightly, attracting the attention of others.

He said: "Your Highness Prince Tiele just said something wrong."

"What?" Aguda was stunned.

Shen Lian said: "In fact, we not only found the waist badge of Tubo Langmie at the scene, we also found waist badges of several other countries, among which..."

He glanced at Aguda and said meaningfully, "It also includes the badge of your Tiele horseman."

"What!?"

Aguda was stunned for a moment.

At this time, the other envoys who were very close to Aguda and had just spoken out to support Aguda took a step back. Without any surprise, Aguda and Qihela were both surrounded by a hollow area.

Shen Lian looked at these envoys who were so realistic and really wanted to give them some praise. He didn't need to put in any effort and they would understand his good intentions.

Shen Lian chuckled, clapped his hands, and said, "Abao, take them all out and show them to everyone."

Abao nodded quickly and took out the rest of the badges.

A total of six countries' badges were placed on the table.

After seeing these badges, the faces of the envoys from Nanzhao and the Arab Empire changed.

Someone asked in confusion: "Dagalang, what is this?"

Shen Lian glanced at the Nanzhao envoy Wang Chengdao and said calmly, "The Nanzhao Secret Guard Organization."

With a whoosh, the area around Wang Chengdao became empty.

"Where is the Divine Mission?"

"It's from the Arab world!"

"Where is the Soul Catching Hall?"

"Goguryeo!"

"Ninja Village?"

Shen Lian glanced at the Japanese envoy who was hiding in the crowd and was the most low-key. He chose the last courtyard in the Disha Courtyard to live in, and said lightly: "Japanese Secret Guard Organization."

Shen Lian's words seemed to have magical power.

When the name of a country is mentioned, the area around the envoy of that country will quickly become a vacuum.

And as the names of the six countries were finished.

There was no one left near the envoys from the six countries.

All the envoys looked at them with vigilance, as if they were unforgivable villains.

The envoys from the six countries also had different expressions at this time.

There was disbelief, shock, confusion, and astonishment.

It's the tension and worry of not being discovered.

Anyway, Abao didn't know whether they were good at disguising themselves or really knew nothing.

But at least, on the surface, the Dog can't discover anything.

But when he looked at his master and saw his master's knowing smile, he knew that Condemnation must have seen through something.

This made Abao sigh in his heart that he still had a long way to go.

"Commander Shen, were these badges really found at the crime scene?" an envoy asked tremblingly.

Shen Lian nodded slightly and said, "Everyone who was at the scene can prove this. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask."

"No, no, of course we believe it. Commander Shen has no reason to lie to us."

The envoy shook his head quickly.

Then, they looked at the expressions of Qihela and others and became more alert.

Qihela and others also looked very unhappy.

Anthony, the envoy of the Arab Empire, frowned and said, "Our Arab Empire will never do such a shameful thing. Commander Shen, we must have been framed."

The Tibetan prince Qihela sneered at this time: "When I said that just now, Anthony, how did you laugh at me? You said that I made a false accusation and you want to get rid of the suspicion... What, have you forgotten what you said just now?"

"I……."

Anthony's face suddenly turned blue and red.

When he said that, he never thought that he would suffer the consequences!
Now what he just said was like a slap in the face, which made Anthony look very ugly.

Qihela snorted coldly, and you have come to this day!
The retribution came so quickly that Qihela just felt refreshed!
Shen Lian took a look at the quarrel between Chihera and Anthony. It was already this time, and these two were still fighting. How stupid.

"Everyone."

Shen Lian said, "We found these waist badges at the scene, but this only shows that the six Tibetan countries may be suspects."

"The case has not been solved yet. Just because there is a suspect does not mean he is the real culprit. So I hope the other envoys will not treat the six Turkic states coldly because of this."

"I promise that the Tang Dynasty will do its utmost to solve the case as quickly as possible. We will give you an explanation within half a month at the latest."

"But the case has happened. In order to prevent the incident with the Bolor envoy from happening again, the Tang Dynasty will increase the guards at the post stations. If the envoys want to go anywhere, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will accompany them. This is also to protect you from being hurt, so I hope you understand!"

After saying this, Shen Lian did not give them a chance to respond.

Anyway, no matter they understand or not, they will have no freedom and rights from now on.

Originally, Shen Lian could only send people to monitor them secretly, but now, he can follow them openly.

Let’s see what other tricks they can come up with.

And because of this case, they have no reason to refuse. If they refuse, it means they have something to hide and are suspicious.

At this moment, Shen Lian had never been so grateful to the murderer behind this case!

What a good man!
If it weren't for them, how could we have isolated Tubo and other countries so easily, and also dragged out the declining Japan.

Now, it depends on how these envoys can still trust others!

How can they do something secretly?

What a nice person!
Shen Lian felt that after he had used up the murderer and caught him, he would definitely repay the murderer!

What a nice person!
Shen Lian smiled in his heart and walked away.

Only a group of envoys were left, and they were wary of each other, without any whispering.

This alliance has officially collapsed!

As the saying goes, we need to give each other some space to let each other think freely!
The more you talk, the clearer it becomes.

So after Shen Lian had done it just right so that no one could find any fault with it, he left the inn directly.

Leave space for envoys from various countries.

Let them let their imagination run wild.

As for who they suspect, who they believe, or what they think, Qin Wenyuan doesn't care.

Anyway, it won’t make their trust go any further.

After leaving the post station, Shen Lian said to A Bao, "A Bao, go to the Ministry of War and take my order to find the Minister Li Jing. Ask him to transfer some soldiers to guard the post station. Then give orders that if any of the envoys, even a servant, steps out of the post station, let the soldiers follow."
