East Street.

Folk Alley.

"Master Hu, I wonder why you came here today?"

Since the house was small and messy, Qi Yun moved a chair out of the house and asked Hu Fei to sit down.

He went to boil another pot of hot water, poured a cup for Hu Fei, and placed it on a wooden stake that was used as a table.

Hu Fei was not polite, nor did he mind at all. He sat on the chair and took a sip of water.

"Don't call me Mr. Hu. It sounds awkward. You can call me whatever you want."

Hu Fei glanced at Qi Yun and said slowly.

Recently I have had a lot of contact with some soldiers in the Governor's Mansion, and I always get called "Master Hu" by someone, which always sounds like a curse.

"Okay, then let me call you Mr. Hu. How about that?"

Qi Yun nodded and asked tentatively.

"good."

Hu Fei smiled and nodded, turned around and glanced at the main room.

That herbal smell came from the main room.

In fact, this was not the first time that Hu Fei smelled the smell of herbs, but the smell was very strange, even a bit foul, which made people feel nauseous.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, my father is seriously ill, so my mother found some earthwork and is cooking it for my father, which has burdened you."

Qi Yun noticed Hu Fei's expression and said awkwardly with a hint of apology.

"It doesn't matter."

Hu Fei smiled, waved his hands and said.

"I wonder why Mr. Hu came here today?"

Qi Yun looked at Hu Fei and asked again.

On weekdays, he was not conspicuous in the Governor's Mansion, and he was not sociable, so he did not have any close friends, and few people came to his home.

Hu Fei's sudden arrival today surprised Qi Yun.

"I heard that your father was seriously ill, so I came here to visit him."

Hu Fei looked at Qi Yun and said slowly.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Hu. Qi Yun would like to express my gratitude on behalf of my father."

When Qi Yun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he bowed respectfully and said gratefully.

"You are Welcome."

"Pei Jie!"

Hu Fei waved his hand, turned around and shouted to Pei Jie.

Pei Jie understood, took out two ingots of silver from his arms, and handed them into Hu Fei's hands.

"This is twenty taels, not much. Let's use it to treat your father's illness."

"It's best to hire a better doctor. There are too many variables in earthwork, so use it with caution."

Hu Fei looked at Qi Yun and put the silver on the wooden stake next to him as he spoke.

"No, no, no, I can't do it. I won't be rewarded for my merits. How can I ask for Mr. Hu's money? Please put it away quickly."

Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands to refuse.

To be honest, the family really has no money to buy medicine, so they have no choice but to use some home remedies, but the old man's illness is not getting better day by day.

"You can take it as long as you want. It's more important to treat patients and save people, so just treat it as if I'm lending it to you."

Hu Fei looked at Qi Yun and said seriously, with a look of concern on his face.

But Qi Yun still refused and had a tough attitude.

Although he was born into a poor family, he had a very upright character and never accepted gifts from others without reason.

Hu Fei was impressed by his character, so he came to give him money in person.

"I know your family has no money, but your father's illness requires a lot of money. Do you want to watch your father die without treatment?!"

Seeing Qi Yun's continued refusal, Hu Fei's face darkened and he said dissatisfied.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Qi Yun began to hesitate, but he still did not want to accept Hu Fei's money.

Looking at Qi Yun who was hesitating, Hu Fei couldn't help but shake his head. He had never seen such a arrogant person.

"Bring me pen and ink!"

Hu Fei shook his head helplessly and said in a deep voice to Qi Yun.

Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, then turned and walked into the house. Although his family was poor, it was not difficult to find a piece of paper and a pen.

Soon, Qi Yun found paper and pen from the house and placed them on the wooden stake in front of Hu Fei.

Hu Fei casually handed the water cup placed on the wooden stake to Pei Jie, then lowered his head and wrote two poems on the paper.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei put away the silver and pointed to the paper on the wooden pile that was still wet with ink.

"This is my authentic work. You don't have to pay for it, but you must accept it. It can be worthless, or it can be worth a fortune. How much money you can get in exchange for it depends on your own ability."

"I'm not here for you, but for your father-in-law. If you raise such a good son, he shouldn't just leave like this, otherwise you will be an unfilial person!"

Hu Fei put down his pen, looked at Qi Yun, and said seriously, showing dignity.

"Thank you, sir."

Qi Yun looked at Hu Fei gratefully, and finally bowed hesitantly.

At this point, if he continues to refuse, it will be hypocritical, and there is really no way to delay his father's illness any longer.

"Okay, hurry up and grab some medicine. It's time for me to leave."

Hu Fei smiled, stood up slowly, and drank the white water in the cup as he spoke.

"Master, why are you helping me?"

Looking at Hu Fei who was about to leave, Qi Yun couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, I am a person who likes to make friends, and your temper is to my liking."

As Hu Fei said this, he turned around and left with a smile.

"Thank you so much, sir! Qi Yun will definitely remember your kindness today!"

Qi Yun suddenly knelt on the ground with one knee facing Hu Fei's leaving figure and said with great gratitude.

But Hu Fei had left without looking back.

Qi Yun hesitated for a moment, then picked up the authentic handwriting written by Hu Fei on the wooden stake, rushed out of the door, and headed straight for the medicine shop.

...

The Governor's Mansion.

Governor's office.

Li Wenzhong was sitting on a chair with a solemn look on his face, holding a list in his hand. The people recorded on it were all those who had been in close contact with Hu Fei recently and had received banquets hosted by Hu Fei.

He was thinking about how to deal with these people, because he did not allow the people under him to get too close to Hu Fei, and even drank and talked all day long.

"Captain, the people on the list are all people who have been to Hong Bin Tower recently. I would like to ask the Commander to give you instructions on how to deal with this."

A middle-aged man stood aside respectfully and asked slowly.

The official in charge of the affairs of the Governor's Office was Wang Cheng.

"Although it is not a big mistake, it must be severely punished. This kind of trend cannot be tolerated, otherwise the governor's office will be in chaos!"

Li Wenzhong said in a cold voice with a sullen face.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Wang Cheng agreed and replied in a deep voice.

At this moment, a guard walked in quickly from outside, looking panicked.

"Alert to the Governor, someone is coming from the palace!"

The guard said hurriedly while saluting.

"Where?"

Li Wenzhong was stunned for a moment. He wanted to scold the guards for their recklessness, but when he heard someone coming from the palace, he couldn't help but ask.

"Waiting outside."

The guard replied hurriedly.

"Please!"
