With a snap, it hit a wall in the room, and right in front of this wall, there were some swarming bees, flying continuously, as if they had a pattern of not hitting the wall and not looking back.
Shen Lian raised the corner of his mouth, glanced at the housekeeper with shrunken pupils, and said calmly: "Ah Bao, smash the wall."
"The road is there."
boom!
When Abao heard Shen Lian's words, he didn't give anyone a chance to react. He directly took a big hammer and slammed it towards the wall surrounded by bees.
There was a loud bang, booming.
It shocked the hearts of all the officials.
The butler's expression at this time was extremely ugly and suspicious.
He pursed his lips and suddenly looked at Shen Lian subconsciously. He saw Shen Lian at this time, with a calm expression and a calm face, as if everything was under control in the palm of his hand, as if everything that happened next was under his control. As expected.
It made him look a little lazy, as if he was not interested in anything.
When the housekeeper saw this scene, he frowned and his face became even more ugly.
At this moment, Shen Lian seemed to notice his gaze. Shen Lian tilted his head, and their eyes collided in the air without any warning.
The housekeeper felt that Shen Lian's eyes were like the endless starry sky. Just one glance at them sucked his own gaze in, making him feel a little dazed for a moment.
As for Shen Lian, he just glanced at him and then looked away casually, unwilling to show any unnecessary expression, as if he was no different from that ant in Shen Lian's eyes.
This made the housekeeper, who had just regained consciousness, feel inexplicably angry.
He clenched his hands into fists and was about to say something. Suddenly, there was a bang and everyone's exclamations, which directly brought his thoughts back to reality.
He hurriedly looked towards the place where the loud noise came from, and then the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank -
They saw that the wall surrounded by bees was directly smashed by Abao's hammer. After the wall collapsed, a dark secret passage appeared behind the wall.
There really is a secret passage behind this wall!
There was no wall blocking the bees in front of them, as if there was something in front of them that attracted them, they flew in without saying a word.
And all the officials couldn't help but exclaimed at this time.
"There really is a secret passage!"
"This this……."
"Those bees flew in without any hesitation, so...really, did the housekeeper really pass by here just now?"
"Could it be that...the steward is really framing Commander Shen? Commander Shen was actually brought here by the steward?"
At this moment, these officials, even if they didn't know where the secret passage led, basically knew the general outline of the matter.
No matter how stupid they are, they still have a bottom line. This obvious evidence is enough to explain everything.
If they still don't understand what's going on, then they are not qualified to be officials to this extent.
At this moment, their eyes flickered to the butler.
The expression on his face is very complicated!
I can’t believe it!
There is anger!
There is fear!
The steward, the steward actually deceived them!
He actually used them to frame Commander Shen!
This made them extremely angry.
And when I thought that... I almost offended Shen Lian, and thus indirectly offended the King of Chu, I felt even more frightened!
Shen Lian himself was not a bad person, and Lu Xie's death was right in front of him.
They really didn't dare to offend Shen Lian and King Chu.
But even though they were hiding like this, they were deceived by the housekeeper, which made them really want to tear this sinister villain to pieces!
"Commander Shen, we...we were deceived by the steward. We really didn't mean to frame Commander Shen."
"Yes, Commander Shen, we were all deceived by this villain. We have no intention of becoming enemies with the adults!"
"I also hope that Commander Shen will lead Mingjian."
These officials directly changed their previous attitude. At this time, they all nodded and bowed in front of Shen Lian, apologized to Shen Lian, and sought Shen Lian's forgiveness.
Ah Bao looked on and felt very happy.
Thinking about what they said to his master at the beginning, they were all murderers, and now, they were nodding and bowing, wishing to kneel down and kowtow to admit their mistakes to Shen Lian, he felt extremely happy.
Deserve it!
They all asked for it!
Without finding out the case or knowing the truth, you just open your mouth to be a murderer and keep silent about the murderer. You are stupid. Who can you blame?
When Shen Lian listened to these people's apologies, he just plucked his ears and said calmly: "We are all very old. We have been officials for so many years. Why are we still so childish?"
He glanced at the panic faces of these officials and said slowly: "If you make a mistake and apologize, you will not be responsible for anything. Then why do you need the law? What do you need the Dali Temple for? What do you need the Ministry of Punishment to do? What?"
"If I kill you, why don't you just apologize? Why don't you want to!"
"I framed you, so why don't you just apologize? Why don't you agree?"
"If you agree with this, then I, Shen Lian, will kill you now, and then I will apologize and bow to you, and you will not be held accountable, nor will your family be held accountable, okay?"
As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, the expressions of these officials suddenly changed.
Cold sweat was dripping from their foreheads, and each of their faces turned blue and white, looking extremely ugly.
How did they answer?
Shen Lian has blocked their way.
Just apologize? Shen Lian can kill them and apologize!
Can't you apologize? Shen Lian was just right and caught them directly.
Therefore, they have no choice at all.
They didn't have Shen Lian's ability, and they didn't have Shen Lian's ability to take the third path. At this moment... they just froze here, feeling extremely panicked and extremely regretful.
If they had known that offending Shen Lian would have such serious consequences, they should not have tried to seize power from Shen Lian before, and they should not have thought about framing Shen Lian just now.
Now, they really regret it.
After Shen Lian finished speaking, he didn't even look at them again.
For Shen Lian, these officials really did not interest him at all. Their ranks were too low.
If he didn't want to scare the monkeys and let others know the consequences of offending him, Shen Lian would really not bother to pay attention to them.
But this is fine, I originally thought I would have to deal with them one by one.
Now, because of Wang Wenru, they all gathered together at once, so they could catch them all at once, which saved a lot of trouble.
Shen Lian didn't need to say anything. After the case was over, Qin Ziyi directly ordered the government officials to control these officials. He said seriously: "I will need you to go to Dali Temple with me later, so I hope you can cooperate a little. Don't let anything ugly happen, it won't be good for each other."
Listening to Qin Ziyi's threatening words, these officials' hands and feet became cold, and their regret for offending Shen Lian became even stronger.
If you really knew this, why did you do it in the first place!
But Shen Lian didn't pay attention to them.
He stood up directly, walked slowly to the secret passage, looked at the dark secret passage, his eyes fell on the housekeeper, and said calmly: "Do you still need me to send someone to find out where the end of the secret passage is? "
The housekeeper frowned and stared at Shen Lian.
At this time, he heard Shen Lian say: "As expected, this secret passage leads directly to the gate. As the saying goes, the shortest straight line is between two points, so if you want to go to the gate, you don't have to go through the rockery from here. The bridge and the garden.”
"And as long as you are a practitioner, someone who knows a little bit about martial arts, and someone with not too bad foot strength, it will take less than twenty breaths to reach the gate."
"You brought us here and asked us to wait outside the door. I was bored and counted."
"From the time you entered to the time when the screams came out, it took exactly twenty breaths."
"So, if I thought it right, then when you entered, Wang Wenru was already there waiting to die, but you didn't stop and ran directly to the gate as fast as you could. Then the moment Wang Wenru died, you opened the door to welcome the guests. It just so happens...it becomes your alibi, and also allows you to bring someone to be a witness against me, Shen Lian, for killing someone."
Shen Lian looked at the butler. Although it was an inference, his tone was as if he was stating a fact. Once he heard it, people would subconsciously believe it.
"Actually, this case is not very sophisticated. It's just a matter of time, so you guys took advantage of it... However, as the saying goes, the legal network is wide and open, and your demons are not as good as mine."
"The winner is me, Shen Lian!"
Shen Lian frowned slightly and said calmly: "Wang Wenru, your death was in vain."
The palace, in the hall.
Shen Lian stood in front of the broken wall, looked at the housekeeper calmly, and slowly said those two words that he was the winner.
The case was solved.
The butler's trick was also solved.
It can be said that everything they have done so far has been cracked by Shen Lian.
If this is all they have, then Shen Lian is a complete winner.
But even so.
Even though all the secrets were cracked by Shen Lian, all the crises were resolved by Shen Lian, even though Shen Lian said "I am the winner", he was not arrogant at all.
Not to mention arrogant, not even a little proud.
It's as if winning tonight's game of chess has no sense of accomplishment.
Shen Lian's attitude completely made the butler's face turn red. He clenched his hands tightly into fists, and the veins on his face were exposed, making him look particularly ferocious.
He looked at Shen Lian, and his originally black eyes were covered with a layer of blood. He looked very frightening.
As for Shen Lian, facing the housekeeper's intimidating gaze, his expression remained calm and he even yawned.
Just as A Bao thought. When the butler was about to explode with anger, the butler whose veins on his forehead were about to burst just now suddenly burst into laughter the next moment.
It's just that this laughter doesn't feel cheerful at all, and I can't even feel the feeling of happiness in it.
Some are just weird.
The laughter sounded so suddenly in the silent hall, and was so sinister that the officials subconsciously shrank their necks, feeling as if there was wind blowing behind their necks.
Abao frowned and couldn't help but said: "You have lost and you are still smiling so happily. Isn't it such a huge blow that you are crazy?"
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, and his lazy eyes seemed to have a glimmer of light at this moment.
"Lost?"
When the housekeeper heard Abao's words, his laughter stopped abruptly.
He grinned and looked a little crazy: "You said I lost?"
"Don't you really think that this is all we can do?"
"Don't you really think...we think that with just one dead person, we can get rid of King Chu's right wing Shen Lian, right?"
"Li Shimin, he is so biased towards the King of Chu and loves the house as much as the bird. Not to mention Shen Lian's ability to solve crimes is top-notch. Even if Shen Lian can't solve the case, do you think Li Shimin will be willing to let the King of Chu and his men really suffer?"
"So, how could we regard Wang Wenru's death as a killer move against Shen Lian!"
After listening to the butler's words, Abao's face changed slightly.
Even Qin Ziyi, the young minister of Dali Temple, changed his expression.
what is happening!
They could feel that the person in front of them, who seemed to have some mental problems, did not seem to be telling lies.
Could it be that... they really have a back-up plan that they don't know about?
As for the officials, they were stunned.
What's going on?
They originally thought that the steward was Wang Wenru's subordinate.
But now it sounds like...it doesn't look like it?
Even Wang Wenru's death, why do they feel that he was taken advantage of?
Then...what kind of status do you have here?
These officials suddenly felt that their brains were not enough. Listening to the steward's words, they felt that they were really stupid.
Now that things have happened, I can’t even understand the development...
As for Shen Lian, it seemed that he was not too surprised by the butler's reaction.
Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, finally becoming somewhat interested.
"Finally willing to have fun?"
Shen Lian laughed: "Let me just say, Beichen has suffered so much in the hands of our Prince Chu's Mansion. If he doesn't remember it for a long time, it will really disappoint me. After all, isn't there a saying... yours Whatever level the enemy is, you are also at the same level."
"so….…"
His eyes fell on the butler and said, "How else are you going to play?"
"Besides, before we have fun, I, Shen Lian, think you should introduce yourself to your family. I think that with your identity, you should be reputable, so that I won't know who my opponent is, right?"
The housekeeper took a deep look at Shen Lian, he laughed, and curled up his lips: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but Beichen said that King Chu's men are too cunning, always digging holes. Deliberately trying to trick us."
"What if you know something and you really guess my identity then, wouldn't I be in danger?"
When Shen Lian heard this, he sneered.
"Why are you laughing?" The housekeeper frowned.
Shen Lian looked at the housekeeper, his tone was calm, but extremely cold: "You and I have met here, do you think there will be a dangerous future? Tonight, only one of you and me can survive, I die, or you die!"
