Perhaps the trio of living treasures would be surprised that Lin Chong said such words, because their understanding of Lin Chong has always been limited to the fact that he is barely a good emperor. Isn't the first thing a qualified emperor must do is to be impartial and selfless, with clear rewards and punishments?
Yuan Qingfang was not surprised at all that he would say such a thing. After all, they had lived and died together for so long. She knew very well that Lin Chong was a person who followed his own temperament in everything.
The reason why he has always followed his temper without causing any major problems is that his temperament is always on the side recognized by most people, so everyone thinks that he is a qualified emperor.
It was the same this time. Yuan Qingfang had actually thought that Lin Chong would not kill them all. After all, they had never done anything harmful to nature. At best, they were used as cannon fodder.
"What happened this time can be regarded as a harmless joke between you two friends. Although the joke lasted a bit long, it's fine as long as Tiandimen doesn't mind. But the things you did before are not exactly the same.
The pen has been revealed, and you must be prepared to pay the price for it." Lin Chong crossed his arms and said this in a non-serious tone, making people confused for a moment whether he minded or not.
"We ourselves have done something wrong, and we are naturally willing to bear the consequences, as long as...as long as we are not separated." Xia Qing's eyes turned red.
In fact, it is difficult for her, a weak woman with no strength to tie a chicken, to put in huge efforts for her sweetheart, and quickly grow from a little girl who is not familiar with the world to a shrewd and smooth girl. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there is no embroidery worker.
After all, no matter what you take out, it is no worse than those ladies and ladies from aristocratic families.
She already regretted what she had done, and wanted to live the rest of her life in peace and low-key. The innocent lives she saved were enough to offset the mistakes she had made out of necessity.
Lin Chong thought so. Let Xinyi Village continue to guard Ande. The significance of this to the people here is far more important than getting rid of a so-called former sinner.
That's what he thought, so he said so. He had always done things based on his own preferences, and he didn't think there was anything wrong. From the perspective of results, everything he did was correct.
What's more... He glanced at Liu Xingyan who was standing next to him, and he thought it was to thank her for not embarrassing him at the inn before, so this time he wouldn't let Old Lin give away the white-haired person to the black-haired person.
"This matter does not need to be pursued, but you must clearly explain the situation of the group of people who appeared here inexplicably before." Lin Chong looked serious.
He had a hunch that the identity of this Zeng De must not be simple, and there was another person standing behind him who did not know whether he was an enemy or a friend.
Is the reason why they want to embarrass these singing girls because of what they did back then? If so, maybe they are still loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
But if they are really loyal ministers, why don't they go to the emperor directly? Instead, they choose to save the country by going here first to eliminate harm to the people?
They taught the gangsters a lesson, which might be regarded as an ordinary act of chivalry, but finding the geishas who once formed the intelligence network was definitely not an easy task.
Not to mention that they have not passed on information for many years. Even the people around them who have been with them day and night do not know what they have done.
Even when this intelligence network was most active, Xia Qing and Lin Hui must have spent a lot of effort hiding their identities. For them, being exposed meant death.
Since no one has noticed it for so long, it proves that their hiding is still very successful, so why were they suddenly discovered?
"Actually, we haven't figured out who the other party is. We found the body of the sister who disappeared before..." Xia Qing said in a sad tone.
After all, they were comrades who had shared life and death together and talked about everything. At that special moment, the only thing they could trust was each other. Now that her former friend's body was lying in front of her, she could not help but feel sad in her heart.
"If I find their whereabouts, I will definitely not let them go." Lin Hui said angrily. They just wanted to live in seclusion here quietly. Without the sudden appearance of this group of people, they would not have become what they were.
This is it now.
"It's no accident that they know your identity. Besides you, who else knows about your other identity hidden here?" Yuan Qingfang asked.
"Except for ourselves, they should be the people responsible for putting the information in our hands." Xia Qing recalled carefully.
No matter how good their concealment work was, people in their profession would always have to deal with their downlines. Lin Chong guessed that something happened to their uplines or downlines, so he confessed to them by the way.
But after all, it had been many years, and they couldn't completely remember the names of those women, so they could only name a few casually based on their memory.
"If that's the case, why did they come to me?" Lin Chong frowned.
If these people are a group of loyal ministers and good generals, and they are committed to taking advantage of the war to clean out some of the former moths, then everyone can just do their own thing and do their own thing. Why do they go to the inn to tell them about Xinyi Village?
Lin Chong also has another doubt. Do Zeng De and others know his identity? If they know, why haven't they taken any action yet?
No matter whether they are red-faced or white-faced, it is time for them to take the stage.
"Who are this group of people you are talking about?" The Huobao trio had never been in contact with Zeng De and the others, so they had no idea about this third wave of people besides them.
"To put it simply, it's like what Lin Hui said just now. They had already planned to live a peaceful life without fighting against the world. Why did they suddenly make such a big joke on you? It's because of another group of people who suddenly appeared.
It threatens their safety." Lin Chong explained.
"But we didn't detect any trace of them during the investigation!" Duanmu exclaimed.
"Yes, that's the problem. They once sent someone to look for us in the inn." Lin Chong thought about it and finally chose to tell the truth.
"When did I come to find you? How much did you hide from us?" Liu Xingyan looked incredulous. Obviously everyone was investigating the same case, and they had more manpower. Why did they find so many things in the end?
Not as good as what Lin Chong and the others knew!
