The waiter asked in surprise, "The leaders of the six ministries are all important officials. What if there are spies from the enemy country among them?"
Yes, Chen Heng thought that if such important departments could all be made into spies, it would not be achieved in one or two years. It would take at least several years to climb up the ladder. Suddenly, she remembered that the teacher was from the Ministry of Personnel, and wondered if he would be affected.
In the evening, Dawei came to tell his family that his master would not be home for the next few nights due to work.
The whole family was a little worried.
Over the next two days, the situation intensified, with reports that many people from both the Secretariat and the Chancellery were arrested.
When Shen Heng returned home that afternoon, she saw the prison vans, one after another, with five people in each van, three of whom she had met once before.
"They are extremely treacherous and evil, and criminals of the Great Cong Dynasty." The common people threw rotten leaves at them and cursed them.
"Spies should go to hell."
"They should pay for the lives of the 10,000 soldiers in Wanzhou."
Chen Heng was puzzled. Was it really just a matter of catching spies? Why such a big deal? It seemed like many people from both provinces had been sacrificed. This was bound to be a mutually destructive outcome.
At this time, someone nearby said, "I heard that another person escaped. He's a senior official from the Ministry of Personnel."
"Who is it?"
"I think his surname is Lu, and the court is looking for him."
Lu? Shen Heng's heart sank. Could it be Lord Lu? Impossible.
Just as Chen Heng was rushing home, she discovered that the gate of Xie's house was full of soldiers. She quickly hid in a corner, feeling more and more uneasy, thinking that it was very likely that Lord Lu had done something wrong. After thinking about it, she headed towards Li Hu's house.
She had to go and ask about the situation. Even if Li Hu didn't come, his family had a tunnel leading to the outside of the city, and Lu Ji'an was very likely to come in.
However, Chen Heng was still more cautious and turned into an alley. This alley was filled with the back doors of the surrounding houses, which were open from time to time. She took two steps at a time and hid in one of the houses.
A short while later, two men arrived at the place where she disappeared.
"Where are the people? Why are they gone?"
"The boss said we must not let this woman escape. Find her quickly."
While one of them ran out of the alley and the other went to look for her in the house opposite with the back door open, Shen Heng quickly left and turned into another alley. Then she patted her chest and said, "As smart as me, as smart as me."
She wondered, since her house was fenced off, why didn't anyone come to the shop to arrest her? This didn't make sense. She didn't expect someone to actually be following her.
He wanted to use her to find out the truth.
Fortunately, she was careful.
This means that Xie Jian is also suspected, and Lord Lu must have done something wrong.
As someone who had experienced a lot, Chen Heng was surprisingly calm at this moment.
She didn't understand the situation and would just wander around outside, which might cause trouble for Xie Jian. So at this time, she should trust Xie Jian and believe that he could handle the situation well.
Therefore, after an incense stick of time, the soldiers guarding the door of Xie's house saw a woman leisurely coming with some fruits.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. We must catch all the spies from the Great Cong Dynasty." Chen Heng said with a smile and walked into the house.
Inside the house.
Nanny Feng had seen a lot of things in the world and was not worried about all this. She was telling Zhenzhu and Achan what to do.
Xia paced restlessly when she heard the maid come to announce that Madam Shen had arrived. She hurried out to greet her, "Aheng."
