Hu Xiaolin had been lying in bed all afternoon, and the hour of Unity was gradually approaching, and he was feeling particularly tormented at this moment.
The tragic death of Yan Bing kept flashing in his mind, making him fearful and anxious.
As the time gradually approached, Hu Xiaolin got up from the bed. He had to rush to Tianqingfang.
He had a hunch...he might not be able to come back if he went this time.
He didn't want to go, but he had to go.
After opening the door, Hu Xiaolin walked out of the room and was spotted by Lin Quan's spies, who immediately became excited.
If you go out at this time, is it possible that you are going to meet the traitor?
But when Hu Xiaolin walked out of the courtyard, he heard a soft female voice coming from behind: "Brother Xiaolin, where are you going?"
Hu Xiaolin stopped. This sound hit his heart directly. At this moment, he didn't have the courage to continue walking.
Seeing him stunned, Chen Ermei came forward with a wooden basin. Seeing Hu Xiaolin's expression was different, she quickly asked: "Brother Xiaolin? Are you okay?"
"I……"
Biting her lip, Chen Ermei mustered up her courage, raised her head and asked, "Brother Xiao Lin, is it my father and the others who forced you to make things difficult for you?"
"No...no!" Hu Xiaolin was even more panicked.
"Brother Xiao Lin, if you can't tell me, I'll tell dad and the others to stop forcing you!"
Hu Xiaolin didn't want to lose everything in front of him, let alone lose it now.
"Second sister, it's not...don't think too much!"
At this moment, he seemed particularly conflicted. On the one hand, he did not want to delay others, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to leave them.
At this moment, Chen Dalang came angrily and yelled: "Hu Xiaolin, what do you mean? You said you are not worthy of my sister, and at the same time you come to provoke my sister, you bastard!"
"Brother..."
Chen Ermei didn't call anyone to stop, but Chen Dalang stepped forward quickly and punched him out.
Chen Dalang was indeed very angry. He felt that Hu Xiaolin was belittling his sister, but what he didn't expect was that Hu Xiaolin did not dodge his punch.
"You...this..." Chen Dalang couldn't fight or accept it. Instead, he was embarrassed.
"Brother Chen, I..."
Hu Xiaolin had been feeling bad since the morning. After all, he was a good brother who supported him together. Chen Dalang still asked with a straight face: "What happened?"
But how can such a thing be said so easily?
"You... take a walk and tell me if you have anything to say at home!"
Regardless of whether Hu Xiaolin wanted to or not, Chen Dalang took Hu Xiaolin and went home, while Chen Ermei continued to carry the wooden basin to wash clothes. She was very sad at this moment.
"Tell me, what happened?" Chen Dalang was a little anxious.
Just confess... This is what Hu Xiaolin has always thought, but every time he dared not say it.
"If something happens, let's think of a solution together, you should say it!"
"Brother Chen, I told you...you can't help me!"
"How do you know you can't help? What a big deal it could be!" Chen Dalang stared.
Under Chen Dalang's scorching gaze, Hu Xiaolin finally summoned up the courage and said slowly: "Brother Chen, I...was sent from the north!"
Chen Dalang didn't react for a moment: "What? What do you mean?"
"I am a traitor from Liaoping in the north, a spy sent to Yuanyang!"
This sentence was said clearly enough, and Chen Dalang was also shocked on the spot.
"You...you...you are actually a spy. Are you making fun of me?" Chen Dalang couldn't accept this fact.
"I'm not kidding!" Hu Xiaolin's face was filled with sadness.
After slowly digesting the news, Chen Dalang walked around the room a few times, and then asked with a cold face: "Have you done all those evil things?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Dalang smiled evilly and said, "Of course I will report you to the official!"
Hu Xiaolin was stunned for a moment and said, "That's fine. This way, we can also exchange some food for the family, and we won't make it easier for others!"
Chen Dalang was furious when he heard this. He said with a straight face: "What nonsense are you talking about? Brother, what kind of person am I?"
"Remember, you are not a spy from the north, you are the one who wants to expose the spy!"
After all, Hu Xiaolin was too young, not to mention that his mind was so confused at the moment that he couldn't even turn around for a while.
"You haven't done anything bad. Others can't find anything against you. You are a good citizen under the prince's rule, do you understand?"
"But what if those people who came with me report on me?"
"If they dare to report, wouldn't they involve themselves? What's more, you can report them first!"
"You just need to tell the officials that you didn't know anything when you fled into the city. They are forcing you to betray the prince and do evil things, so you have to report them!"
Hu Xiaolin said with a bitter face: "When they are caught, they will report me!"
"So you have to insist that you are a good citizen, that you are not a spy and have never done anything evil!" Chen Dalang pressed Hu Xiaolin's shoulders and said.
"But……"
"No but, I will find more neighbors to testify for you later. You have helped us a lot in the past six months, and everyone should be willing to testify for you!"
There was silence for a while, and Chen Dalang was thinking about how to get the neighbors to help, and whether he should treat everyone to a meal.
In Chen Dalang's heart, Hu Xiaolin was a good young man and had nothing to do with criminals.
"Brother Chen, let's go!"
"Let's go where?"
"Go to the government!"
"So urgent? It's not too late to go tomorrow!"
"They have something to do tonight, and they happened to go to the government to report it. It can be considered a meritorious service!" Hu Xiaolin had already thought about it.
"Okay, let's go now!"
The two of them walked out of the room, just as Chen's mother came out of the kitchen, she couldn't help but ask: "Where are we going? It's time to eat soon!"
"Mom, we have something to do, I'll be back later!"
"It's getting dark, there's a curfew at night, come back early!"
"knew!"
The two of them walked out of the courtyard, and the spies not far away followed carefully.
Just now, he wanted to get closer to monitor, but someone in the Chen family was moving around, so he could only stare from a distance.
"Hehe, it looks like... these two people may be spies. I'm about to become rich!" The spy was ecstatic.
…………
At You hour, the sun has completely set and night is gradually falling.
In Zhangjia Alley, Tianqingfang, three men have gathered in a corner. This is the only place that can be considered hidden.
The three of them looked outside from time to time. The dim light of the scene obscured their expressions of excitement and fear.
Among the three people, one was the man who went to inform Hu Xiaolin, and he was also waiting anxiously at this moment.
After a while, the sound of footsteps came from the box, making the three people suddenly alert.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough!"
"Brother Marco, here!"
The person who came was none other than Ma Jin. After hearing the sound, Ma Jin came over quickly.
"Everyone is here?"
"One more to go!"
"One more? Who?" Ma Jin was a little surprised.
"Hu Xiaolin!"
Ma Jin couldn't help but frown. The next step was to make sure there were no mistakes in the plan, otherwise there would be a possibility of ruin.
"How about waiting for him?"
Hearing this, Ma Jin suddenly came back to his senses.
The plan must be implemented, otherwise they don’t know when the next opportunity will come. The most important thing is that they have no choice at all.
A death order was issued from Liaoping. If they didn't comply, all the family members in Liaoping would die.
After thinking briefly, Ma Jin said cautiously: "I can't wait any longer. I won't even be able to enter the palace if I wait any longer!"
