Chapter 413

Although the distribution was not a good thing, at least Xie Yuan's life was saved. For this reason, Xiao specially brought a pair of children to visit Lin Hu to thank him. However, Lin Hu's mood was quite complicated in the face of them. After all, there were still unknown hardships waiting for this family. However, seeing the joy in the eyes of the three mothers, Lin Hu felt that maybe as long as the family was here, there would always be hope for the cloud to see the bright moon.

The day before the official distribution, Lin Hu and Nangong Shaoqing went to visit Xie Yuan. The old man met, but the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Although it was a small affair, the last "tea incident" undoubtedly caused a rift in the relationship between the two parties. Therefore, the two sides did not speak for a long time after meeting. In the end, it was Nangong Shaoqing who broke the deadlock.

"We've already taken care of it for you. No one will embarrass you along the way. As for the situation in Guizhou, it's up to you. You don't have to worry about Mrs. Xiao and the children. Everyone will take care of you."

Xie Yuan seemed a little excited when he heard this, and said in an almost trembling voice, "Thank you."

Nangong Shaoqing looked at him and said to Lin Hu: "You two should have something to talk about. I'll wait outside first. Call me if you need anything."

Having said that, Nangong Shaoqing retreated out of the cell with great interest, and there were only Lin Hu and Xie Yuan left inside. The latter hesitated for a moment, his emotions were hard to contain, and then he knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Hu.

"Old Lin, I'm sorry for you!"

Facing this scene, Lin Hu was in a mixed mood, feeling a little touched, but at the moment he didn't know what to say. At this moment, Xie Yuan continued: "I heard everything from my family. This time, thanks to you running around begging for mercy, otherwise, I was afraid that my life would be lost. Back then, I actually helped the King of Han to frame you. I am not human at all."

As he spoke, Xie Yuan started to slap himself. He slapped very hard, and his cheeks became red and swollen after a while. Seeing this, Lin Hu hurriedly took his hand: "Forget it, old Xie, let's not mention the past."

"Then can you forgive me?" Xie Yuan asked.

Lin Hu sighed: "I've already talked about the past and don't mention it."

When Xie Yuan heard that Lin Hu was still unwilling to forgive himself directly, he obviously still had resentment in his heart, but he didn't complain about the other party: "It's no wonder, if we two live in a different place, I may not be able to forgive easily. It's all my own fault."

"What happened in the first place?" Lin Hu asked at this time, and now more about the "tea incident" is still speculation and analysis by Lin Hu and others, and Lin Hu and others still don't know the inside story.

Xie Yuan heard the sigh and told the details of the whole incident. Xie Yuan had no intention of harming Lin Hu at first. He took refuge in the King of Han for the sake of his official career.

However, they didn't expect that there would be a conflict between Lin Hu and King Han later. The King of Han wanted to give Lin Hu a warning, so they thought of using Xie Yuan's hand to prescribe medicine to Lin Hu. They knew the relationship between the two and thought that Lin Hu would never be suspicious.

Faced with this matter, Xie Yuan also struggled in his heart. After all, Lin Hu was a friend he grew up with when he was a child. It was never easy for Xie Yuan to betray him.

After this incident, Xie Yuan also fell into long-term pain and self-blame. At one time, he even had trouble falling asleep every night. Until now, Xie Yuan cried bitterly on the spot when talking about this incident.

"Old Lin, I know that I'm sorry for you. I don't expect you to forgive me until now. In short, I have brought the blame on myself and deserved it. I just ask you to take care of my wife and children for my sake. If I can do this, even if I die, I will never forget your kindness."

Hearing Xie Yuan's misery, Lin Hu couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my sister-in-law and the others will take care of you more. Don't be too discouraged. Maybe you will have a family reunion one day in the future."

Xie Yuan couldn't help showing a wry smile when he heard this: "I don't dare to expect such a thing. Outsiders see us as Jinyiwei's majesty, but how many people know the dangers of official career? Old Lin, I want to make friends with you. I advise you, if you can, you should get out as soon as possible."

Lin Hu couldn't help being moved when he heard that Xie Yuan's words just hit his mind. In fact, recently Lin Hu has increasingly felt that the officialdom is more complicated and dangerous than he originally expected, and sometimes he really wants to retreat, but right now it's inconvenient to talk to Xie Yuan about these things, so he just nodded: "I understand, I have my own sense of proportion in this matter."

Xie Yuan knelt down again and kowtowed to Lin Hu: "Old Lin, anyway, I'm sorry for your surname Xie. I may not have the chance to make it up in this life. In the next life, I will definitely repay you even if I become a cow and become a horse."

Lin Hu also felt a little uncomfortable at this time, and stepped forward to help Xie Yuan up: "Old Xie, you don't have to do this."

At this time, Xie Yuan seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, Lao Lin, you should be more careful in the future. As far as I know, the King of Han hates you to the bone now. Even if he loses power now, I'm afraid he won't let it go. You should be more careful."

Lin Hu heard and nodded: "All of this is within my expectation, don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

After hearing this, Xie Yuan seemed somewhat relieved, and then Lin Hu left the cell. Nangong Shaoqing walked back with him, and asked on the way: "What did you two talk about?"

Lin Hu didn't hide it at the time, and briefly introduced what Xie Yuan said. Nangong Shaoqing said with emotion at the time: "It is said that people are in the Jianghu and can't help themselves. In fact, those of us in the officialdom are not like this?"

Lin Hu smiled wryly: "Who says it's not? To be honest, recently I often have plans to resign."

Nangong Shaoqing nodded upon hearing this: "I understand."

Lin Hu smiled and said, "If I really resign from office, Nangong, would you like to come with me?"

Nangong Shaoqing was slightly taken aback when he heard this, but remained silent.

"Reluctance?" Lin Hu asked.

Nangong Shaoqing sighed: "I just feel sorry for my ancestors."

Lin Hu knew that Nangong Shaoqing would dress up as a man and join the Jinyiwei partly because of the family, and now she was asked to abandon everything that she had worked so hard for so far for herself.

The next day, Xie Yuan was officially dispatched to Guizhou. Many people from Jinyiwei, including Lin Hu, went to see him off. After all, they and Xie Yuan were friends on a small scale, and what happened to Xie Yuan was inevitably a bit sad. Who knows if he will end up like Xie Yuan in the future.
