So...normally speaking, what the fake Zhao Xianye obtained should be Tianji's body, and he had no doubt about it.
But why is the body now belonging to someone else?
Moreover, he was one who had just died?
Shen Lian rolled his eyes, looked at the pale and frightened fake Zhao Xianye, and said, "Don't rush to praise me, don't you want to know...why, the body you got was supposed to be Tianji's body , and now he has become someone else?"
Fake Zhao Xianye was startled.
He looked at Shen Lian, as if he wanted to read Shen Lian's thoughts from Shen Lian's expression.
But Shen Lian could see through the things that made him feel powerless at a glance, but he couldn't judge Shen Lian's thoughts at all.
He took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"I always thought that the corpses I got were all Tianji's. I don't know why the body was changed."
Shen Lian asked: "When did you get Tianji's body here?"
Fake Zhao Xianye was disheartened, knowing that he had completely lost, and he also wanted to know why his arrangement, in addition to Shen Lian, would cause problems with the corpse.
So he didn't hide it, he said: "It was dug out of Tianji's tomb seven days ago."
"Have you seen his body since it was dug up?" Shen Lian asked again.
Fake Zhao Xianye nodded, "Of course, I also want to make sure I've dug the right person."
"What's the result?"
Fake Zhao Xianye thought for a while, then shook his head, "I don't know. I thought it was Tianji at the time, but now... I'm not sure anymore."
Shen Lian thought for a moment, then pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Do you know this person?"
Fake Zhao Xianye thought for a while: "Somewhat like a servant of Huan Mansion. I seem to have met him, but I can't remember him clearly. After all, he is just a servant, and he is not qualified for me to remember."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said: "This corpse died about a day ago. In other words, there was a corpse in the coffin at the beginning, but I don't know if it belongs to Tianji."
"Later, the corpse in the coffin disappeared, and the person who was suspected to be a servant of the Huan Palace was disguised and replaced by Tianji's corpse..."
"Then, where is the original body?"
Shen Lian said to himself: "Also, who...replaced the person?"
This matter is somewhat interesting!
Shen Lian's eyes sparkled, and there was a smile at the corner of his mouth. It was as if he had encountered an interesting prey, which aroused the hunter's rare interest.
Although I don’t know how Tianji’s body disappeared, and I don’t know who replaced Tianji’s body...
But there is no doubt that the people who did these things are definitely not with the fake Zhao Xianye.
Likewise, he is not in the same group as Beichen.
In other words... when he was fighting with Beichen, there were other people behind Beichen who were also dealing with Beichen.
As for Beichen, maybe he doesn't even know about this person's existence?
If it were just to make Tianji's body disappear, there would be no need to find a substitute. After all, such a substitute is not easy to find.
But that man found a substitute and disguised himself. If the blood hadn't betrayed this man, Shen Lian might not have known that Tianji's body was fake.
Therefore, the reason for this trouble...maybe I don't want people to know that Tianji's body has been replaced, and I don't want people to know about this person's existence.
That purpose...is it for Yin Beichen?
Or, he didn't want Beichen to know his existence, because Beichen... might guess that person's identity?
Xu Gou and others looked at Shen Lian, the expressions in their eyes changed again and again, they all held their breath and concentrated without making a sound to disturb.
Although they didn't know that Shen Lian's thoughts had already spread to Beichen, they also knew that it was absolutely important for Shen Lian to think about it so seriously.
After a while, Shen Lian recovered his mind.
Glancing at the fake Zhao Xianye on the ground, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "There is a road after this stone room. Where does this road lead? What arrangements do you have?"
Fake Zhao Xianye shook his head, his whole person extremely desperate.
"I don't know. The order I received was just to stay here. So after I learned about the situation in the palace, I waited here for you to come. I don't know anything else."
Shen Lian took a careful look at the fake Zhao Xianye.
He could see that the fake Zhao Xianye was not lying.
He really didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.
Shen Lian retracted his feet and glanced at the fake government officials. When Shen Lian glanced at them, each of them felt cold in their hearts.
Shen Lian said at this time: "Be sensible and let us tie you up. You can live for a few more days. Otherwise, you will be buried with these corpses today."
When the government officials heard this, their faces turned extremely pale.
They looked at the immobile Zhao Xianye on the ground, then at the stinking corpses on the ground, and then at the eager defenses of Xu Gou and others. Finally... they looked at this man, who was as smart as a devil. This is a desperate young man.
Finally, there was a bang and someone threw the weapon down.
"I surrender, don't kill me!"
If one person gives up, then there will be no surprises for the others.
It didn't take long for these people to surrender one after another, and soon they were all tied up.
The same goes for fake Zhao Xianye.
They were tied into rice dumplings, just like when Qin Wenyuan and others came in before, they were all tied tightly.
If it weren't for the corpses lying on the ground, Xu Gou would be in a trance and think that everything just happened was a dream.
Shen Lian glanced at Zhao Xianye and others who were tied up, curled up the corner of his mouth, and said lazily: "Just protect your people from killing you and silencing you. At this time, being taken to Dali Temple, for you, , maybe the best result.”
When Zhao Xianye and others heard this, their whole bodies trembled.
Before they could speak, Shen Lian yawned and said, "Let's go on."
Just like the two levels he passed before, Shen Lian's expression was still so calm, calm and lazy.
Xu Gou glanced at these people and couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "Master, just leave them here like this? Will anything happen?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shen Lian glanced at Xu Gou: "What's the matter?"
"Could they have escaped?"
"escape?"
Shen Lian sneered: "Their identities are already known to us, and they have no value anymore. How about escaping? Do you think those guys would do such a worthless thing? Killing them is a hundred times easier than helping them escape." "
"Then will they be killed?"
"Kill him, kill him." Shen Lian's expression did not waver at all.
Xu Gou was startled: "Master, you don't seem to care about their life or death?"
Shen Lian did not respond, but his attitude was already obvious.
"Then why didn't the young master just kill them, but go to all the trouble to tie them up, and send someone to take them away later?"
Xu Gou doesn't think Shen Lian is a troublesome person.
Shen Lian said calmly: "If he dies, it means that someone is following us behind us, monitoring us, or..."
Shen Lian paused and glanced around the stone room. His eyes were so gleaming that Xu Gou felt a little cold all over. Then Shen Lian looked back and said with a smile: "...it can let me know something." matter. "
"If they are not dead, they still have value. If they are brought to the Dali Temple Yamen, some news will spread."
At this point, Shen Lian's eyes flashed, and he smiled a little evilly: "Although that man said that he might be hostile to Beichen, he had already done this a day ago, but there was no reminder. Our actions can only show that he may not have any good intentions toward me."
"In this case. That person is afraid of being known by Beichen, so I won't let him get what he wants."
He suddenly laughed and said in an unkind tone, "Isn't it interesting to watch dogs bite dogs?"
Xu Gou couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard Shen Lian's words and looked at Shen Lian's smile that made people's skin crawl.
He just felt that his young master was... so sinister now!
But when he thought that those who were tricked by his young master were not good people, he stopped thinking about it.
"Okay."
Shen Lian said no more: "I've been delayed here for a long time. Don't waste any more time. Open the door."
Xu Gou and Si She looked at each other, then pressed their hands on the door with sudden force.
The stone door suddenly made a harsh sound and was slowly opened.
And everything was just as Shen Lian expected, there was still a dark passage behind this stone door.
Sishe frowned and said, "The main hall of the Huan Mansion is really far away. Are they going to take us across Chang'an?"
Shen Lian couldn't help but smile when he heard Si She's complaints.
He snapped his fingers and said calmly: "Let's go. Haven't you heard that sharpening a knife will not waste time chopping wood? Haven't you heard that slow work will produce fine work? Maybe the main hall of the Fantasy Mansion is worth such a long journey?"
Si She and others took torches, and upon hearing Qin Zu's words, they entered the passage directly without further delay.
The sound of everyone's footsteps quickly faded away.
Soon, nothing was heard.
The fake Zhao Xianye was tied up. After hearing no sound, he hurriedly said to the others: "Quickly, find a way to untie me. Let's hurry up while Shen Lian and the others are gone. If we don't escape now, we won't be able to escape at all in the future." "
When the others heard Zhao Xianye's words, they quickly gathered together.
Although they were tightly tied, because there were so many people, they could still get together and find a way to help fake Zhao Xianye loosen their ties first. As long as one person escaped, the others could also escape.
Fake Zhao Xianye saw that the rope began to loosen gradually, and a look of pride appeared on his face: "Shen Lian, you didn't expect that the reason why I am obedient is not because I am afraid of you, but because I have hope of escape."
"When you come back, you will not be able to find me for a long time. I am already high in the sky and let the birds fly. In this life, you will never even think of catching me--"
…………
Bang!
At this moment, a loud collision suddenly sounded in the stone room.
Because the sound was so sudden, it directly interrupted the fake Zhao Xianye's words and made everyone else stunned.
"What sound?"
"Where's the sound coming from?"
Everyone was subconsciously confused.
Bang!
At this time, another voice sounded.
Everyone was prepared, and this time they found the place where the sound came from, and they quickly looked around.
And then the next moment--
"What!?"
"this……"
"Coffin, the coffin has moved!"
Someone suddenly yelled.
I saw that the coffin containing the fake Tianji's corpse just now... actually started to move.
It's not the coffin lid that's moving, but the whole coffin.
These people were completely frightened.
Fake Zhao Xianye's eyes widened suddenly, his face full of horror.
The coffin was moved before because he controlled the corpses, so he had no fear.
But now, now he has no control!
So, what is this sound going on?
Bang!
At this moment, the coffin without the lid was suddenly lifted off and hit the wall directly with a loud bang.
This voice seemed to ring in their hearts, making their whole bodies tremble.
Then, they saw a figure slowly appear from under the coffin.
The next moment he saw this figure, the pupils in fake Zhao Xianye's eyes suddenly shrank, and he was extremely frightened: "You...you...you..."
Poof!
Before he finished speaking, a head with extremely frightened head shot up into the sky.
Then the cold light flickered.
Soon, the ground was covered with blood.
Several heads rolled on the ground with faces filled with horror.
A bloody knife was taken away by this figure.
He glanced at the passage where Shen Lian and others left, then turned around and strode towards the passage where Shen Lian and others came from.
There was no sound in the stone room behind him.
In the dark passage.
Shen Lian and his group were walking forward slowly. The passage ahead was dark and the end could not be seen at a glance. It was impossible to know how long the passage was.
After walking in the dark passage for so long, Si She and the others had completely lost their sense of direction. They didn't know which direction they were walking in, or what time it was.
The dark passage and constant movement made them seem to have forgotten the concept of time.
But fortunately, they don't feel particularly hungry now, so they can roughly estimate that it's not yet bright outside.
At this time, Sishe's footsteps suddenly paused.
He said, "Did you hear anything?"
"What?" Xu Gou looked at Si She in confusion.
Sishe frowned slightly. He turned around and looked back. It was already pitch black behind him and he couldn't see anything.
He said: "I just seemed to hear something screaming, coming from behind us."
Hearing this, Xu Gou and others subconsciously looked back.
I could only see the darkness behind me. I couldn't see or hear anything, as if there was something terrifying lurking in the darkness.
When they contacted Si She again, their hair almost stood on end.
"Si She, did you hear it wrong?" Xu Gou said, "I didn't hear anything!"
The other shadow guards also shook their heads.
"Did I hear wrong?" Sishe frowned.
He looked at Shen Lian and saw that Shen Lian kept walking and looked forward calmly.
Although Shen Lian didn't look back, he looked at him as if he already knew what was happening. He said slowly: "There are indeed some sounds."
