Hong Bin Building.

backyard.

When I heard Hu Fei claiming that Ding Bin was also a traitor, I was stunned for a moment, and my surprise was beyond words.

But Lu Zhongqian's incident proves that Hu Fei did not make things out of thin air. Since he said so, he must know something.

"Brother, are you serious about this?"

Li Qi looked at Hu Fei and asked seriously.

You know, Ding Bin is a relative of the Li family. He has been working for Li Shanchang and knows a lot of things.

"It really can't be true anymore."

Hu Fei nodded and said affirmatively.

"Then how did you find out? Why didn't you tell us together last time?"

Li Qi looked at Hu Fei and asked doubtfully.

"Uncovering Lu Zhongqian, my uncle already doesn't believe me. If I say that Ding Bin is the same, my uncle won't believe it even more, and he may not find out that Lu Zhongqian has second thoughts so quickly, so I can only tell my cousin about this matter."

you."

Hu Fei smiled bitterly and said slowly.

"Is he and Lawrence Lu the same group? Or do you know something else?"

Li Qi looked at Hu Fei and asked seriously.

After listening to Li Qi's question, Hu Fei shook his head.

"I don't know. I only know that he was unfaithful to his uncle, but the specific details of how he was unfaithful and whether he was with Lu Zhongqian are still unknown. This matter still needs to be decided by my cousin."

Hu Fei shook his head and said lightly.

"I understand, thank you dear brother."

Li Qi frowned and said solemnly.

Although Hu Fei claimed to know nothing, he could see that Hu Fei's words were not groundless, but he was unwilling to say it clearly.

Later, Li Qi said goodbye to Hu Fei with complicated emotions and left Hong Bin Tower.

Hu Fei looked at Li Qi's leaving figure, sighed secretly, and shook his head.

It's true that Ding Bin is half-hearted, but it's also true that he is a relative of Li Shanchang. Li Shanchang has always taken good care of the relatives of the Li family and made good use of those who can.

However, before Ding Bin returned to work with Li Shanchang, he had worked with Hu Weiyong. That was a long time ago. Although he has not done anything unfaithful now, Hu Fei knew that this person seemed to be loyal and good.

But once things happen, they will turn against each other and betray Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang at the same time.

Therefore, he could only inform Li Qi in this way, hoping that Li Qi would trust him through Lu Zhongqian's incident, and then deal with Ding Bin, nipping possible future dangers in the cradle in advance.

...

East Palace.

Backyard gazebo.

Zhu Biao and Li Shanchang sat opposite each other, but today they did not play chess as usual, but drank tea quietly.

"I heard that the prince-in-law has become very close to Hu Fei recently, and even invited Hu Fei to a banquet at his house?"

The prince asked again and again intentionally or unintentionally while drinking tea.

"Your Highness, it is indeed true."

Li Shanchang nodded and said truthfully.

He had no intention of hiding anything, and he was not surprised at all that the prince knew about this matter, because he knew that most of the things in the capital city could not be hidden from the father and son.

"Well, if the consort comes forward, the Hu and Li families will not be as unfamiliar as before. Both of them are valued by this palace."

Zhu Biao nodded and said with a smile.

"Your Highness, in fact, this is also the intention of the veteran. Since Your Highness wants to conquer Hu Fei, perhaps it will be more effective if more people are involved, and he will not be overtaken by others."

Li Shanchang nodded and said with something in mind.

After hearing this, Zhu Biao smiled lightly and didn't say much.

As for the "other person" Li Shanchang refers to, Li Shanchang knows who it is, and he also knows who it is.

"By the way, His Majesty the Crown Prince, when Hu Fei went to the old minister's mansion for a banquet a few days ago, he walked with Qi'er in the mansion. During the period, he taught some disaster relief strategies. Qi'er then brought the strategy into the palace to show it to His Majesty, which made His Majesty feel proud.

Great joy, full of praise."

Li Shanchang thought of this incident by chance and told the truth.

"Oh? He actually knows disaster relief strategies? What did he say?"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and asked with interest.

"In general, it can be summed up in fifteen words."

"Open a porridge factory, provide relief, give medicine, care for the homeless, and redeem wives and daughters."

Li Shanchang thought for a moment and said slowly.

After listening to Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he silently recited fifteen words. The surprise in his eyes was even worse, and he couldn't help but nod his head frequently.

"I can't believe that these words can come out of his mouth. No wonder he acted so quickly when the rat infestation occurred in Changzhou last time. It turned out that he had already had the desire to save the world and save the people."

"Not bad, really good."

Zhu Biao remembered the last time Hu Fei rushed to help the disaster area in Changzhou, and couldn't help but say with approval.

"Actually, he had many opportunities to inform His Majesty or His Highness about such a disaster relief policy, but he did not. Instead, he delegated it to Qi'er. I don't know if he wanted to use this opportunity to sell Qi'er a favor, or if it was true.

He is a person who is not greedy for credit or takes credit."

Li Shanchang hesitated for a moment and said thoughtfully.

"No matter what kind of person it is, there is nothing wrong with it, as long as he is sincerely serving the people. I have not misjudged him."

Zhu Biao smiled, nodded and said.

"What His Highness said is absolutely true. It is really rare for him to have such a heart."

Li Shanchang nodded and agreed.

While Zhu Biao was recalling what Hu Fei had done before, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. The smile on his lips never disappeared.

"By the way, what Hu Fei said last time about the villain in Han Qing's house, is there any conclusion?"

Zhu Biao remembered the last time Hu Fei saw Li Shanchang's face in the East Palace and couldn't help but ask.

"Back to Your Highness, after the old minister returned, he ordered Qi'er to investigate secretly, and indeed found out a person with treacherous intentions. This person has been following the old minister for many years. Unexpectedly, he has never been truly loyal to the old minister. If it weren't for Hu Fei, I'm afraid that he would be in trouble in the future.

I don’t know what trouble it will cause.”

Li Shanchang heard the words and hurriedly said it truthfully. His words were full of praise and gratitude.

"Oh? Unexpectedly, he was really right."

"Does he really know how to tell fortunes?"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't know about this old minister. In short, he was right in his words. Moreover, according to the old minister's investigation, this person is not only rebellious, but also secretly met with someone from the school inspection team. I don't know why."

Li Shanchang nodded and said casually.

But after hearing what Li Shanchang suddenly said, Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel a little shocked, and couldn't help but take a look at Li Shanchang.

He knew the meaning of Li Shanchang's words, but it involved school inspection, which was a big or small matter, and he couldn't interfere with public opinion.

And he couldn't say much because the school inspector represented his father.

"It's hard for Han Qing."

In the end, Zhu Biao could only say this lightly as a way of comforting Li Shanchang.

"Your Highness is serious. I have never had a second thought for the imperial court. I am just worried that someone will deliberately fabricate right and wrong and bring trouble to the imperial court."

Li Shanchang smiled, cupped his hands and said.

"I naturally know Han Qing's heart, no need to explain."

Zhu Biao smiled and said meaningfully.

"Your Highness Ming Jian."

Li Shanchang nodded and said softly.

"This matter needs to be resolved secretly, and it is not appropriate to publicize it. It is best to end it here."

Zhu Biao glanced at Li Shanchang, picked up the tea cup, and said intentionally or unintentionally.

"Old minister, I understand."

Li Shanchang bowed in agreement and saluted slightly.
