A light flashed deep in Shen Lian's eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Based on the feedback from the person in front of him, it seemed that the direction he had deduced was correct.
Although Shen Lian did not have any clues or evidence about the person in front of him beforehand, it was the first time that he met him today. He had never had any encounters before and they were very unfamiliar with each other... But this did not prevent Shen Lian from looking for clues at the scene. Make inferences. Ninetowns Literature
Shen Lian's ability to respond to situations on the spot and his wisdom are enough to make anyone believe that he is confident and well-prepared.
But how did they know that Shen Lian now has the same things as them?
It's just that Shen Lian's demeanor was so calm and confident that everyone put Shen Lian in a higher position in their hearts, unconsciously thinking that Shen Lian already knew everything.
Even the mysterious butler in front of me is the same.
He didn't notice Shen Lian at all. In fact, he was completely blind and looked for feedback from him.
Shen Lian looked at the butler whose expression changed drastically. Even though he didn't know anything, he still acted extremely strong and confident.
It makes people think that he already knew this: "I have disguised myself several times before."
"So, I, Shen Lian, still have some understanding of the art of disguise."
"The easiest thing about disguise is the appearance, but the hardest thing is the temperament and demeanor. When people look at it, they won't notice anything inconsistent."
"Just like the butler of the royal palace."
Shen Lian said calmly: "Although I have never met the housekeeper of the palace, I have heard that the housekeeper of the palace came from the Wang family following Wang Wenru. He has followed Wang Wenru since he was a child, so if nothing else, he cannot be young. .”
"As for older people, their behavior, confusion in their eyes, and tone of voice are very different from people of other age groups!"
"Young people are full of enthusiasm. Because they have little experience, all their emotions are written on their faces."
"Middle-aged people have experienced a lot and are in the most powerful period of their lives. The confidence in their eyes is very obvious."
"And the elderly..."
Shen Lian looked at the butler in front of him, raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "I have experienced enough, but as I get older, I am helpless, and the sun is declining, the look in my eyes will inevitably be tinged with old age and fatigue."
"These are people of three age groups. It's very obvious when you look at their eyes!"
"what about you.……"
The butler's pupils moved slightly as Shen Lian stared at him. He actually didn't dare to let Shen Lian look directly into his eyes, so he subconsciously averted his eyes.
Shen Lian chuckled: "You don't even pay attention to the details of clothes and shoes, so naturally you won't pay attention to these deeper details."
"But the feeling you gave me is very similar to the situation of the old housekeeper. This is why those officials were so easily deceived by you... So, there is only one possibility."
Abao asked very discerningly: "Sir, what is possible?"
Shen Lian's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "That is, you are of the same age group as the housekeeper! In other words, you are not young anymore!"
"Only in this way can you give me the reason why Shen Lian doesn't have any sense of disobedience in details like the eyes."
"So your age is at least forty years old..."
The situation in ancient times is different from that in later generations. In ancient times, the average life expectancy was not high, so those over forty years old were enough to call themselves an old man, that is, an old man.
Fifty or sixty years old is definitely a long life.
"And just now, I also limited the scope of your identity..."
The housekeeper subconsciously held his hand, and then he realized that his palm was filled with sweat unknowingly because of Shen Lian's words.
Shen Lian seemed not to notice the change in the butler, and continued to say calmly: "Among the royal family, there are very few people over forty years old who are currently in Chang'an."
"Rather than being members of the royal family, there are only a dozen people over forty years old who have been rewarded with cloth by His Majesty this year."
As an official in the imperial court, although Shen Lian doesn't care much about the party, he still knows who has made what contribution and who has been rewarded.
So he didn't have to send people to investigate, and now he could name those people.
"Another point!"
Shen Lian looked at the butler with sweat rolling down his forehead, and said with a smile: "Although you are older, you can rush from here to the gate in twenty breaths. This ability is beyond the reach of others." If you are not in good health, you will never be able to do it.”
"So, we can exclude civil servants and people with poor health. In this case..."
Shen Lian looked at the housekeeper in front of him, half-smiling but not smiling: "It seems there are only three people left!"
Let me think about it, who is there?
He looked at the housekeeper, but at this time, the housekeeper kept evading his expression and no longer dared to respond to Shen Lian.
Shen Lian laughed, moved his fingers slightly, and said, "One is the Minister of War, Marshal of the Tang Dynasty - Li Jing!"
"One is the Minister of War, Qin Qiong, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty!"
"There is another one, the new Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, the elder of the Changsun family, and the Changsun Shunde of Conglong Zhigong!"
"so….…"
Shen Lian said meaningfully: "Who among them are you?"
Marshal Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty!
Qin Qiong, the famous lobby general!
Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, Grandson Shunde, the elder of Empress Changsun!
When these three names came out of Shen Lian's mouth, the housekeeper in front of him had no reaction, but the faces of the officials around him all changed.
Even Qin Ziyi trembled and almost didn't sit on the ground!
In fact, the identities of these three people mentioned by Shen Lian are too special!
And if any one of them counts, they are all so awesome, and none of them are weak!
Li Jing!
Marshal of the Tang Dynasty!
The God of War of the Tang Dynasty!
Minister of the Ministry of War!
He holds an army of hundreds of thousands!
The famous military leader!
Who would doubt him? In other words, if he is really the butler in front of him, it will definitely be a fatal blow to Datang!
After all, he represents the military of the Tang Dynasty!
Duke Qin of the Tang Dynasty was admired by countless people with his moral character! Ninetowns Literature
The famous general of the Tang Dynasty, his reputation in the military was only lower than that of Li Jing, and the same as that of Cheng Yaojin and others.
Even Li Shimin would call Qin Qiong "Big Brother Qin"!
Much more powerful than Wei Zheng and his ilk!
There is no need to say more about the position of power!
And Qin Qiong is much more powerful than Wei Zheng! !
Qin Qiong is a big boss in his own right, who dares not to give him face?
Therefore, if the housekeeper is Qin Qiong, he will be in great trouble!
And what about Changsun Shunde?
This is also a being that Qin Ziyi and the others dare not mess with!
Not to mention anything else, just the status of Queen Changsun and the uncle of Changsun Wuji's family was enough to make Changsun Shunde walk away sideways.
Not to mention, Changsun Shunde was among the first to follow Li Shimin.
He made considerable contributions in the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Coupled with the relationship between the Changsun Queen's family, they are also among the ranks of royal relatives.
Therefore, if this person is Changsun Shunde, it will also cause huge waves.
After all, this represents the Queen’s natal family!
Changsun Wuji and Queen Changsun are all related to him. If he is really the housekeeper, then maybe Changsun Wuji and the others will be implicated.
So... no matter which one of these three people they are, Qin Ziyi and the others cannot afford to offend them.
At this moment, all those officials could not help but tremble.
It wasn't until Shen Lian revealed this person's possible identity that they realized what a terrible thing they had been involved in.
Even Qin Ziyi couldn't help but said: "Commander Shen, this person's identity is just... Are there no other suspects?"
He was afraid that Dali Temple could not bear it!
Shen Lian saw through Qin Ziyi's thoughts at a glance, and stood calmly: "No, if Qin Shaoqing finds this matter difficult, I, Shen Lian, will take over the matter directly now."
When Qin Ziyi heard Shen Lian's words, he felt relieved.
There was no comparison between him and Shen Lian. Shen Lian was the subordinate of the King of Chu.
Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Changsun Shunde, really anyone can crush him to death.
After Qin Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly became more interested. He looked at Shen Lian and asked, "Then Commander Shen, who is he?"
Although the others began to tremble, they still couldn't help but turned their heads to look at Shen Lian. They also wanted to know who this scary guy was.
Shen Lian did not answer them, but looked at the housekeeper opposite. He smiled and said, "Among these three people, you are among them... Do you think my inference is correct?"
The housekeeper couldn't help but look pale at this time.
Being stared at by Shen Lian, he actually felt as if he was being stared at by the god of death.
It was as if Shen Lian had seen through all his disguises and everything about him.
This made him feel extremely cold.
There was more cold sweat on the forehead.
His palms tightened and he couldn't help but say: "You... aren't you very smart? Then you can guess for yourself!"
It wasn't until he spoke that he realized that his voice was already a little hoarse.
And this hoarseness is entirely caused by nervousness.
Although Shen Lian didn't get any useful feedback from his words, his voice... also told Shen Lian his mood at this time.
Shen Lian's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth raised, and he continued: "Okay, if you ask me to continue to infer, then I, Shen Lian, will continue to infer. This matter is not urgent."
He chuckled, and that smile looked like a devil to the housekeeper, making him extremely frightened.
"Among these three people, we can actually continue to exclude others!"
The housekeeper's pupils jumped twice, and his expression became even worse.
Shen Lian laughed: "You said, do you still want me to rule it out?"
"I..." the housekeeper opened his mouth, but before he finished speaking, Shen Lian continued: "I think that by now, even the stupidest person can find out your identity. "
"Send someone directly to your mansion to have a look. Then...it will be clear who is there and who is not."
Hearing this, Abao hurriedly said: "Sir, I will send someone to investigate right now."
The housekeeper's eyes widened, and just as he was about to reach out and grab Ah Bao, he saw Shen Lian shaking his head slightly: "No need, I just said it, that is the method used by the stupidest people."
"And I... have an easier way."
He looked at the butler in front of him and said, "I have a question for you. Whether you answer or not, I know who you are."
Before the butler could respond, Shen Lian stared into the butler's eyes and suddenly asked, "Are you the eldest grandson Shunde?"
Brush it!
The housekeeper, who had been evasive at first, his eyes widened when he heard Shen Lian's words!
The pupils in his eyes jumped many times at this moment!
He stared at Shen Lian blankly, with various expressions flashing on his face.
Shock!
Horrified!
anger!
Killing intent!
Waiting looks flashed one after another.
The next moment, he suddenly let out a breath and asked Shen Lian, regardless of the shocked expressions of others, "How do you know I'm not Qin Qiong or Li Jing's?"
The corners of Shen Lian's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a half-smile, "I don't know!"
"But now, I know..."
"What?"
The housekeeper was startled.
But the next moment, he suddenly understood something. His eyes widened, he looked at Shen Lian angrily, and shouted: "Shen Lian, you lied to me!"
Shen Lian chuckled: "It's very useful, isn't it? You see, as soon as I said it, you exposed yourself."
As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.
Shock!
stunned!
Dumbfounded! !
They were all like the fake housekeeper...or Changsun Shunde as he was called. They all looked at Shen Lian with wide eyes and couldn't recover for a long time.
However, their expressions were different from Changsun Shunde's.
Changsun Shunde felt ashamed and angry because he was tricked by Shen Lian, and even... He was horrified because Shen Lian deduced his identity so easily.
Others were shocked and shocked by Shen Lian...
Except for Abao and Qin Ziyi, although other officials had heard about Shen Lian's recent deeds, they had no actual contact with him, so they didn't know how terrifying Shen Lian was.
Today, I saw with my own eyes how Shen Lian determined the scope of Changsun Shunde based on every small detail.
Then how to check that there are only three people left, only two people left...
In the end, he just cheated, and Zhangsun Shunde blew himself up in an instant.
Changsun Shunde's identity was completely revealed in front of everyone.
All of this shocked them, and they felt admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
They know that they absolutely cannot do it.
Even from a hostile perspective, one can't help but admire Shen Lian.
too strong!
This ability is beyond their reach!
No wonder no one who has done official business with Shen Lian will turn against Shen Lian...
They didn't understand before and just thought Shen Lian would cause trouble.
But now, they understand.
Shen Lian's wisdom, coupled with his background, was that of King Chu's subordinates, and together they were Shen Lian's strongest point.
Such powerful wisdom and terrifying cleverness, coupled with the King of Chu, made people... dare not regard Shen Lian as an enemy.
Such people can only feel at ease as friends.
As an enemy, unless you can kill him with one blow, you will be like Changsun Shunde now, feeling chilled to the bone.
Thinking of this, these officials looked at Shen Lian's expression with even more awe. (End of chapter)
