Shen Lian told a set of lies that were quite self-justifying to cover up the fact that he had let Hokusai go without permission.

In the original plot, Lu Wenzhao actually handed over the killing of Hokusai to Ling Yunkai, because he was grateful to Shen Lian, so he didn't want to involve Shen Lian at first.

But he didn't expect that it was obviously not about Shen Lian, so he just followed Ling Yun Kai, and in the end he let Hokusai go and killed Ling Yun Kai.

Compared with the original plot, now that Shen Lian just let go of an insignificant rebel party, his trouble is undoubtedly much smaller. But this matter is still fatal, once it is found out that he has secretly rebelled against the party, no one can protect him.

"The traitor is strong in martial arts, and he has accomplices to respond, he is incompetent, and the pursuit is fruitless, so he still let them run away."

Shen Lian finished his report, but he was very worried in his heart, because He Xie's expression did not change in the slightest from beginning to end, and he secretly muttered in his heart, his old friend's city government is getting deeper and deeper, and he doesn't know if he can get through this time......

But as soon as He Xie opened his mouth, he was terrified and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Hokusai, I've already arrested you." He Xie took a sip of tea and said quietly.

He looked at Shen Lian's extremely shocked expression and said, "Shen Lian, how have I treated you in the past eight years?" ”

Shen Lian's heart was in turmoil at the moment, and he was at a loss for fear and helplessness, he was slightly silent, and said, "My lord treats his subordinates, and his kindness is like a mountain!" ”

He Xie waved his finger: "It's not interesting to say this, you saved my life back then, if you want to say that your kindness is like a mountain, it should be you to me, you lied to me about this matter, I can understand, it's not your fault, it's my fault first." ”

Shen Lian was silent again, he didn't understand what He Xie meant by this.

He Xie sighed and said, "I will suppress this matter, you go back to rest for a while, and after a while, I will find a way to transfer you to Nanzhen Fusi." ”

Shen Lian nodded silently, clenched his fists and bowed to the end: "Thank you, my lord!" ”

He didn't ask why Hokusai would fall into Ho's hands, and he didn't ask what would happen to Hokusai, he tried his best, but that's the result.

He Xie waved his hand and motioned for Shen Lian to leave. But suddenly he looked like he had just remembered something, and said: "Oh yes, it just so happens that Nanzhen Fusi is going to hand over Guo Zhen's case today, looking at this hour, it should be almost coming, you hand over this case first." ”

"Yes, sir." Shen Lian said.

He Xie stood up, walked in front of Shen Lian, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't be so impulsive in the future, after handing over the case later, deliberately scold me a few words when you go out, it's best to let others hear, so that you can draw a line with me." ”

Shen Lian looked up in amazement, he thought that He Xie transferred him to Nanzhen Fusi because he made a mistake and was assigned, but He Xie's words made him realize that things were not what he thought at all, and then he thought of what He Xie said before, "It's my fault first", the more he felt that something was wrong.

"My lord, what the hell is going on?" Shen Lian wondered.

He Xie smiled and diverted the topic: "In the first battle of Salhu, the entire Western Route Army only had three people alive, and now that Guo Zhen is dead, there are only two of us left......

Shen Lian was moved: "Guo Zhen? Are you talking about Gonggong Guo, who was killed last night? ”

He Xie deliberately wondered: "You don't remember Guo Zhen?" ”

Shen Lian shook his head in surprise: "Guo Zhen and I didn't exchange names back then, and besides, his face was covered with blood at that time, and he just hid his face and cried, which was ......"

He shook his head and didn't continue, suddenly looked at He Xie, and said suspiciously: "My lord, Guo Zhen's death, could it be that there is another hidden story behind it?" ”

He Xie made a blank face: "It has nothing to do with you if there is any hidden secret, you just have to hand over the case." After you leave, I will help you take care of that Lingyun armor, and in the future, you will live a down-to-earth life, don't think about those useless ones. ”

"My lord, what the hell is going on?" The more Shen Lian felt that something was wrong, he always had a feeling that He Xie was explaining what was going on.

At this moment, a lieutenant told him that Nanzhen Fusi had come to see him, and He Xie asked his subordinates to bring people in, patted Shen Lian on the shoulder, and said, "You saved my life, I won't harm you." ”

Shen Lian wanted to ask again, but at this time, someone had already come in.

"Nanzhen Fusi Baihu Pei Lun, see Lu Qianhu!" Those who come respectfully clasp their fists and salute.

He Xie looked Pei Lun up and down, and suddenly said: "Guo Zhen's case was supposed to be transferred to the East Factory, but I heard that Ning Guogong personally asked the factory for this errand, and it fell into the hands of your Nansi." ”

Pei Lun was stunned for a moment, became more and more respectful, and said, "This is indeed the case." ”

He Xie smiled: "Even so, this case will not be your turn to be a small hundred households, but you just came." ”

When he said this, Shen Lian also noticed something strange, and couldn't help but look at Pei Lun.

Pei Lun's complexion changed, and there was a faint cold sweat on his forehead, he had heard that Lu Wenzhao of Beisi was a waste who could only slap his beard, but when he saw it today, he knew that the rumors were wrong, how could such a sharp person be a waste? “

Pei Lun's body bowed lower, and said, "Humble duty, humble duty......"

"You're here for Yin Cheng, right?" He Xie didn't give him a chance to defend himself, and directly opened his mouth.

Pei Lun stiffened, his eyes showed an extremely incredible and panicked look, he really wanted to use this matter to avenge his friend Yin Cheng, but he didn't expect that he would be broken by Lu Wenzhao as soon as he came!

"Why did Lu Qianhu say this? The humble position is for the investigation of Guo Zhen's case! Of course, Pei Lun won't admit it, but the change in his mood just now has already explained everything.

Shen Lian's face changed, he looked at Pei Lun deeply, a little afraid, he was sure that this person was coming for him, after all, Yin Cheng's death was claimed to be killed by Shen Lian.

He didn't know how Lu Wenzhao knew Pei Lun's purpose, but Pei Lun was exposed as soon as he came, which was undoubtedly equivalent to saving his Shen Lian's life!

Jinyi Wei harms people, it is too simple, if Pei Lun has no intention of calculating it, Shen Lian does not think that he can dodge this wave of dark arrows.

Thinking of what he was afraid of, Shen Lian became more and more grateful to Lu Wenzhao in his heart.

"You can admit it, or you don't admit it." He Xie shook his head and said, "Revenge for your friend is commendable, but if you want to take revenge on Shen Lian, you are looking for the wrong person." Shen Lian, tell him the truth of the matter, make it clear as soon as possible, save yourself from inexplicable enmity, and take the blame for others. ”

Shen Lian bowed down and saluted He Xie: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Pei Lun's face was cloudy at the moment, and he was in and out of place for a while, not knowing what to do. Shen Lian turned around and said to him lightly: "Yin Cheng committed suicide, and he is also my friend." ”

Shen Lian explained the matter through 1510, and finally said: "That's the way it is, whether you believe it or not, if you still want to take revenge, I will follow." ”

Pei Lun waited for Shen Lian to finish saying that he believed it, in fact, he had investigated before, and the first half of the matter was not different from what Shen Lian said, the only thing he wasn't sure about was how Yin Cheng died.

In fact, thinking about it, Shen Lian had no motive to kill Yin Cheng at all, and with Lu Wenzhao testifying, there were thousands of households, so there was no need to deceive people in this matter.

Pei Lun was silent for a while, and first bowed deeply to Lu Wenzhao: "My lord, I am humble, I really just came to investigate Guo Zhen's case." ”

Then he turned his head to Shen Lian and smiled: "Brother Shen, thank you for solving Pei's doubts, but Brother Shen really misunderstood, if Pei Mou was offended before, he still looked at Haihan." ”

Shen Lian looked at Pei Lun and slowly clenched his fists.

Although neither of them said it explicitly, this mutual salute was regarded as a misunderstanding.

He Xie saw it in his eyes and nodded with satisfaction, of course he did this for Shen Lian for a purpose, Shen Lian is a good knife, but this person is the kind of person who is very sensitive, and very closed and independent, he wants to subdue Shen Lian for his own use, the best way is not to persecute, nor to deceive, but to treat him sincerely.

Of course, using a little bit of tricks is just to make things more efficient.

He Xie was just about to speak, when he heard the noise outside, and he immediately frowned.
