At the beheading scene, the crowd gradually dispersed. The judge who was supervising the beheading was about to get up and leave, but his attention was attracted by a person in the distance.
"Why is this eunuch here?" Xu An asked with a frown.
Hearing this, the official on the side carefully replied: "There is a spy under the royal palace. It is said that Lin Quan is very nervous and extra manpower is being sent to hunt down the spy!"
"They also get nervous sometimes!" Xu An said with a smile.
He looked down upon these people from the bottom of his heart. What could these people accomplish?
But I heard Xu An continue to say: "The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, it would be a good idea to check for the traitor here!"
The official on the side laughed and said: "I just watched so many people being executed. Even if he has ten eyes, I'm afraid he can't see them!"
"You can't say that. Although these eunuchs are hateful, they also have their own skills in investigating crimes!"
"What you say is absolutely true!"
Xu An sighed: "I'm afraid that if this eunuch grabs his temper, it will still be the common people who will suffer!"
On the other side, Qian Zhong, who was being discussed by Xu An and his two men, was listening to reports from his subordinates.
As Lin Quan's right-hand man, Qian Zhong was assigned the task of hunting down spies.
There was no clue about this errand. Although there were culprits in Yuanyang Mansion, they were not given a chance to get involved, so Qian Zhong could only find a way on his own.
So he set his sights on today's execution ground.
"What's the gain?" Qian Zhong asked with a cold face.
"Father-in-law, our people have targeted five people in total and are following them now..."
"How certain are you that he is a spy?"
"this……"
Of course there is no answer to this question, because I have no clue what I am looking for.
Qian Zhong's eyes were cold and stern, and he immediately said: "Don't let me down!"
"Yes!" The visitor lowered his head and answered.
The five people targeted this time have already been screened by them.
These people all have extremely abnormal expressions, and they are all being targeted at this moment.
Among them was Hu Xiaolin, and of course he was the only one. The other four were all innocent people.
At this moment, Hu Xiaolin and Chen Dalang were chatting, and the two of them slowly walked towards their residence.
Hu Xiaolin was eating at Chen's house at noon, and Chen Dalang told him that something big was going to happen.
As for what the big event was, Chen Dalang hesitated and refused to say it, which aroused Hu Xiaolin's curiosity.
About twenty minutes later, the two of them returned to their houses, and the people accompanying them followed them, hiding on the roof not far away and watching.
Hu Xiaolin is just a suspect now, so he will not be arrested immediately.
Even if it is confirmed that he is a spy, he will not be arrested immediately, but will be followed to lead out more spies.
Time passed slowly, and after about half an hour, a man in his thirties slowly came to the door of Hu Xiaolin Courtyard.
"Is Xiaolin here?"
It was not Chen Dalang's voice. Hu Xiaolin was a little surprised. Could it be that someone else wanted to treat him to dinner?
Walking out of the door, there was a strange man outside.
"Xiao Lin, I have something to tell you!"
"Who are you?"
"You don't recognize me, fellow? Come here!"
I am indeed not familiar with this person, maybe I have met him that day.
When they reached the courtyard wall, Hu Xiaolin didn't have time to ask.
Then the person who came came said in a low voice: "Ma Jin asked me to inform you that we will meet at Zhangjia Lane, Tianqingfang, at You time in the afternoon!"
Upon hearing that it was someone sent by Ma Jin, Hu Xiaolin perked up.
"Why didn't Brother Ma notify him personally?"
"He has something else to do!"
"What are you going to do in Tianqingfang?"
“I don’t know, I’ll find out when I go there!”
Hu Xiaolin nodded, and when he was thinking wildly, he only heard someone say: "If nothing happens, I'll leave!"
After saying that, the man pointed at Hu Xiaolin and yelled: "You are really not a good person. The conditions for asking you to do a favor are quite high, so I won't invite you anymore!"
"F*ck, who..."
Cursing, the man walked away, while Hu Xiaolin was still in a daze.
Turning around, Hu Xiaolin returned to the house, his expression extremely solemn.
He instinctively felt that something big was about to happen. The scene of Yan Bing being beheaded came to his mind again, and he felt that his day was not far away.
The longer he stayed in Yuanyang, the happier Hu Xiaolin's life became, and the greater the pressure in his heart, because all this beauty was so fragile.
Hu Xiaolin was fighting between heaven and man, but the spies in the distance were not aware of it. The scene just now was just an ordinary "dispute" in his eyes.
Noon time came soon, Hu Xiaolin was sitting in the house, and Chen Dalang's voice sounded outside the door.
"Xiao Lin, it's time to eat!"
"Coming!" Hu Xiaolin responded instinctively.
When he walked out of the room, he saw Chen Dalang standing outside the yard with a smile on his face.
"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with you when you come back today? Is it because you are sick?"
"It's okay, I just have some back pain. It seems I shouldn't do so much work!"
Nodding, Chen Dalang said: "Then it's okay. The young man will recover in a day or two... Let's go and have dinner at my house!"
Hu Xiaolin forced a smile and replied: "Okay!"
Walking out of the courtyard, Chen Dalang was talking nonstop about what to eat for lunch today.
"Brother Xiao Lin, something great happened at noon today. Soon... we will be a family!" Chen Dalang couldn't help but smile.
We have made it very clear that we will become a family in the future.
The Chen family wanted to marry their daughter to them. Hu Xiaolin had known this for a long time, and he also liked that sister.
But with his current status, marrying someone would be a harm to them. Hu Xiaolin was very self-aware.
At this moment, they had already entered the courtyard, but they heard Hu Xiaolin suddenly say: "Brother Chen, if I make a big mistake, will we still be good brothers?"
Chen Dalang was stunned when Hu Xiaolin said this suddenly.
"A big mistake? What big mistake can you make?"
After saying this, Chen Dalang patted Hu Xiaolin on the shoulder and continued: "If you make a big mistake and correct it, of course we will still be good brothers!"
I have to say, these words sound particularly heart-warming.
Before Hu Xiaolin could speak, he heard a girl not far away calling: "Brother Xiaolin, you are here..."
Chen Dalang left Hu Xiaolin and took a few steps forward: "I'm not here. Don't just call Xiaolin. You won't call me when your brother comes back!"
Chen Ermei held the dustpan and pushed it forward: "Brother, go get some firewood!"
Chen Dalang's expression froze, and then he said: "Okay, okay...it's true that women are not allowed to stay!"
Chen Ermei was only fifteen years old, and she could only be considered pretty in appearance, but when she smiled, Hu Xiaolin thought she was extremely beautiful.
"Brother Xiao Lin, come in quickly, dad is waiting for you inside!" Chen Ermei came closer.
Ordinary families don't have the same rules as wealthy families, so Chen Ermei's approach didn't seem abrupt.
"Okay..." Hu Xiaolin smiled slightly.
At this moment, his smile came from the bottom of his heart.
Entering the house, Hu Xiaolin was warmly received by the Chen family's father, who treated him completely as his own son.
When the food was finally served, Chen Ermei did not show up, and the Chen family's father also started chatting.
Sure enough, the marriage was brought up directly, and the woman's family took the initiative to bring it up, which shows how much the Chen family values Hu Xiaolin.
But in the end, Hu Xiaolin did not agree directly, but declined because of his young age.
Although the Chen family was a little disappointed, they did not press hard. Anyway, it would take a long time.
