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

This Aguda is really a naive person and he would not lie.

He looked at the Nanzhao envoy Wang Chengdao again.

At this moment, Wang Chengdao was looking at him with a frown, and there was not much excitement on his face... Anthony knew that Wang Chengdao had deliberately talked about the conflict between him and Qihela before.

Logically speaking, Wang Chengdao is the most suspicious.

But now Wang Chengdao's expression made him suspicious again.

"Isn't it him too?"

"But if it wasn't him, who could it be?"

Anthony swept his eyes across everyone, and finally, he stopped at Shen Lian's face.

Shen Lian's expression was still calm at this moment, and he was composed, as if this major case involving a country's prince was not something he could solve.

Shen Lian was too calm.

Anthony was calm, but suddenly he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He suddenly thought... the entire process of solving the case was all led by Shen Lian! This guy was the one who led it all!

Those clues and ideas were all thought out by Shen Lian step by step as he led them to think about them.

So, in the end, it pointed at myself.

If...Wang Chengdao and the others are not the real murderers.

And I must have been framed by the real murderer.

So, is it possible!!!
Suddenly, Anthony's heart was filled with shock and he looked fiercely at Shen Lian.

He suddenly thought, if Shen Lian wanted to frame him, wouldn't it be very easy with Shen Lian's ability?

Moreover, there is a conflict between Qihela and Shen Lian!

Qihela has been teaming up with others to deal with Shen Lian.

Then Shen Lian's calculation at this time is in line with the plan. Is there a problem?
And in this International Parliament, the Tang Dynasty’s biggest enemies are Tubo and the Arab Empire!

Now that the Tubo prince has been killed and he himself has been framed...hasn't the Tang Dynasty eliminated its biggest enemy in one fell swoop?
Therefore, the one who ultimately benefits is the Tang Dynasty!

Thinking of this, even though there was no evidence, he felt that he knew the truth!
"It's you!"

Anthony suddenly turned to Shen Lian and said, "Is it you? Did you kill Qie? You are wrongly accusing me!"

Anthony's voice was loud and many people heard it.

Shen Lian just raised his eyes and glanced at Anthony, whose face was flushed.

However, before Shen Lian could say anything, the envoys from small countries who supported Shen Lian spoke up.

"Anthony, at this point, you still dare to bite back!"

"That's right! Why bite Commander Shen when you can bite anyone else? I never thought you would be such a person!"

"The evidence is irrefutable. Although it was Commander Shen who found you, you were the one who committed the crime first. What does this have to do with Commander Shen? It's ridiculous that you hold a grudge against Commander Shen!"

"Blame yourself!"

"Framing Commander Shen, you are ridiculous!"

These people kept bullying Anthony, making his face turn blue and red.

"You... you..."

Anthony was shaking with anger.

He was really furious.

But these envoys did not give him any chance to refute, and their words made Anthony almost crazy.

Shen Lian said this and just calmly looked at Anthony who was almost angry to death.

He raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't realize that Anthony actually had some brains and would not be the Prime Minister of the Arab Empire.

It’s just a pity that the situation is now in our own hands.

His flag has been raised and the momentum is rolling forward. Anthony's attempt to stop a chariot with his bare hands will only make him a laughing stock.

Shen Lian laughed, looked at Anthony, and said, "Anthony, do you plead guilty?"

Anthony said angrily: "I am not guilty, I did not kill Chihera, it was you who did it, you are framing me."

Shen Lian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now that we have enough evidence, no matter how you argue, it will be useless. However, you are an envoy of a country after all. This is a very important matter, and we cannot close the case hastily."

"So, for the next few days, you will have to stay in Tiangang Courtyard No. 2. Our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and we treat envoys very politely."

"I will write letters to the Turks and the Arabs, and wait for their replies. After the Ten Thousand Nations Congress is over, I will try the case in front of all the envoys! However, before the case is over, you are not allowed to leave Tiangang Courtyard No. 2, and no one is allowed to meet with you. This is also for the safety of the case and other envoys."

After that, he did not give Anthony another chance to speak. He waved his hand and said, "Take them back and keep them under strict guard. All the guards of the Arab Empire will be locked up in Tiangang Courtyard No. 2. No one is allowed to enter or leave, and no one is allowed to see anyone!"

Naturally, the soldiers did not hesitate at all and nodded in agreement.

Anthony and other Arabs were all driven back to Tiangang Courtyard No. 2, and the gate was locked to guard the place.

Shen Lian looked at the other envoys and said: "If the truth can be revealed, our hard work all night will not be in vain. You must have worked hard too. Today's Council of All Nations will be suspended. Everyone has a good rest and adjusts their mood. Don't worry anymore. It’s a security issue, we will continue the Council of Nations tomorrow.”

Naturally, no one would have any objection to Shen Lian's proposal.

Shen Lian worked hard all night last night, and they also didn't sleep. Now that they have found the murderer, they feel relaxed, but also tiredness is rising up.

So as soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, he received the approval of these envoys.

Soon, everyone left.

Wang Chengdao, the Nanzhao envoy, however, stayed where he was.

Shen Lian glanced at Wang Chengdao and asked, "Does Envoy Wang have anything else to say?"

Wang Chengdao took a deep look at Shen Lian and asked, "Is Anthony really the murderer?"

Shen Lian chuckled: "The evidence is here, what do you think?"

Wang Chengdao narrowed his eyes and suddenly said meaningfully: "You, Shen Lian, are the smartest person in the Chu Palace. It shouldn't be difficult for you to forge some evidence."

"Ah."

Shen Lian laughed: "Do you think I am that kind of person?"

Wang Chengdao stared at Shen Lian's eyes for a long time, while Qin Wenyuan looked calm and did not dodge at all.

He then retracted his gaze and said, "I think there are still problems with this case. Anthony... may not be the murderer."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ah Bao looked at Wang Chengdao's back with some displeasure and said, "What are you so proud of? You dare to question your inference, sir. It's ridiculous."

However, Shen Lian did not find Wang Chengdao funny.

"As expected of a Star Coder of the Big Dipper Society, he is just as smart as I expected."

"But... this kind of cleverness is still not enough! What I, Shen Lian, am best at is dealing with smart people like you." "I deliberately left some questions in Anthony's case just for you, so...m..."

The corners of Shen Lian's mouth curled up slightly: "The net has been opened, all gentlemen, please come in!"

It was not yet noon, but Shen Lian had no intention of going to the Dali Temple to check on the matter.

He was so busy last night that he hardly slept at all.

So now he was relatively tired, so Shen Lian decided to be lazy and go back to rest.

Now the most critical step in his plan has been completed perfectly. All he has to do now is wait for those guys to take the bait, so Shen Lian can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"A Bao, don't follow me. Go and rest. I have nothing to do today. You can just come back tomorrow."

Shen Lian said this as he walked home yawning.

Ah Bao didn't think much about it. He was indeed very sleepy. He nodded and said, "Then I will leave. My lord, if you have any instructions, just ask someone to call me. You can rest assured. Ali and the others are always watching near the Chu Palace. They will never let you be in danger."

Shen Lian nodded gently: "Go ahead."

The two separated at the fork in the road.

Ah Bao went to rest at his residence, and Shen Lian also walked along the alley to his home.

But as he walked, Shen Lian suddenly found that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians.

In the end, there was no one else in the alley except himself.

Although this is an alley, it is usually bustling with people.

Suddenly, the number of pedestrians decreased. Shen Lian was quite helpless. He stopped and said, "Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"

"You got rid of so many pedestrians, and didn't let them realize that someone was deliberately luring them away. Although it's not that difficult for you, it's still troublesome, right? Can't you keep a low profile?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared at the opposite alley.

He was a man in a black robe, his face obscured by a hood, making it difficult to see his appearance clearly.

Hearing Shen Lian's words, his voice did not fluctuate at all, and he said, "The Big Dipper Society's spies are all over the world. No one can guarantee that there are no Big Dipper Society spies among those passersby."

"I came from the Beidou Society. I know better than anyone how terrifying the Beidou Society is. You are a member of the imperial court, a noble, and you have a high status. The Beidou Society won't dare to do anything to you easily, but I have no one to rely on now. If the Beidou Society finds my whereabouts, what awaits me will be endless pursuit."

"So, I have to be more careful! Even if it's a little troublesome, it's better than endless disasters."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Endless disasters? Isn't it?"

"Why do I feel now that you have become a scourge to the Beidou Society? Wasn't it your doing that destroyed several Beidou Society bases in Chang'an some time ago?"

Tian Quan said coldly: "Beichen plotted against me. If I hadn't kept a hand, I would have almost died without a burial place. I'm just collecting some interest."

"Your interest rate is not low." Shen Lian said with a smile.

Tian Quan didn't respond. He knew that Shen Lian was waiting for him to speak first.

The two of them seemed to be in an invisible confrontation. They clearly knew each other's intentions, but no one would say anything.

Whoever speaks first will be weaker in momentum.

But Shen Lian can wait, but Tian Quan can’t.

He used some means to lure people away, but he couldn't hold on for long.

He had no time to waste.

Taking a deep breath, Tianquan spoke first and said, "What's going on with Anthony?"

"What's going on?"

"Is Anthony really the murderer of Chihela?" Tian Quan went straight to the point.

Shen Lian said calmly: "What do you think?"

Tian Quan frowned and said, "There are loopholes in your inference. Some parts are not perfectly consistent. There are still some problems with this case."

Of course Shen Lian knew this.

After all, this was the loophole he left intentionally.

But he would not admit it, let alone tell Tianquan in front of him.

He said, "This is the clue I have at the moment. If there are new clues in the future, I can overturn today's conclusion. Besides, the case has not yet been finally tried, so whether there are problems or not, it doesn't matter, right?"

"This isn't like you."

Tian Quan stared at Shen Lian and said, "When will the smartest man in the Chu Palace find loopholes in his judgments? When will he identify a suspect when there is no perfect evidence?"

"Shen Lian, did you intend to kill Anthony? Regardless of whether the murderer was Anthony or not, you had to kill him? Because... he is now the biggest rival of your Tang Dynasty's dominance in the Council of Nations?"

Shen Lian did not answer.

Firstly, he was too lazy to say more. Given his personality, he would feel guilty if he said too much.

Secondly, Tianquan is a very smart guy. If he says too much, there is a chance that he will guess his purpose.

So, it’s better to keep silent and let this smart guy figure it out on his own.

These smart people always like to fantasize, and even if they don't say anything, they can imagine a big drama in their imagination.

as predicted.

In Tianji's view, Shen Lian's silence was tacit agreement.

Tianquan felt that he had discovered Hua Dian.

He said: "If this is true, I never thought that Shen Lian, the dignified King of Chu, would one day frame an innocent person for profit."

Shen Lian shrugged his shoulders: "My country is more important than anything else in my heart."

“More important than faith?”

"Faith? Without a country, how can there be faith?"

Tian Quan was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and said, "Although the loophole in your reasoning is not too obvious, since I can find it, then Beichen will definitely find it, and perhaps some envoys with good brains may also find it."

…………

"So Shen Lian, you'd better be prepared."

"Anthony is the Prime Minister of the Arab Empire. He is definitely not someone who will sit still and wait for death! And now that you have revealed your flaws, Beichen and the others will definitely not let you go."

"You must be prepared to face their counterattack... Based on my understanding of them, they will either not attack, or once they do, it will definitely be terrifying!"

Shen Lian frowned and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

"Beichen is our common enemy. If he attacks, I will try to help you... But your mistake this time was too big. I'm not sure if I can completely help you out of danger, so... You need to be prepared."

Tian Quan looked at Shen Lian and said, "Some of my people will join the game by then. I hope you can make it easier for them. This time... you are not only helping me, but also yourself!"

Shen Lian was silent for a while, then he took a deep breath and said, "Yes, as long as you help me secure my position as the Heavenly Khan of the Council of All Nations, I will fully cooperate with you!"
