North Street.

Outside Yanyu Building.

In a dark alley, several figures were hidden in the darkness, looking in the direction of Yanyu Tower.

"Master Mao, I can't seem to hear the sound anymore. What should we do?"

One of them said respectfully to the young man in the lead.

Not long ago, they witnessed with their own eyes more than twenty suspicious-looking men in black rushing into Yanyu Tower.

"Send a message to the Capital Military and Horse Department that there is a riot in Yanyu Tower, and ask them to send troops to suppress it quickly!"

The young man stared at Yanyu Tower and said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

The man agreed, turned around and left.

"etc!"

But at this time, the young man suddenly stopped him with words.

"grown ups?"

The man looked at the young man with some confusion.

"Wait a little longer. First, send people to guard the exits of Yanyu Tower and keep an eye on every suspicious person."

The young man reached out and touched his cheek and said coldly, with a trace of resentment in his eyes.

If his guess was correct, that group of people was probably heading for Hu Fei. He hoped that the people from the Capital Military and Horse Division would not arrive so quickly, and it was best not to arrive before Hu Fei died.

He still vividly remembers the humiliation of that night.

This person is none other than the inspector, Colonel Mao!

...

Yanyu Tower.

Private room on the second floor.

The twenty-odd black-clad killers had all been subdued. Chundie's sudden attack, coupled with the timely arrival of the dozen or so people in fancy clothes, allowed Hu Fei to escape the assassination.

Except for the young man dressed as a scholar, the other killers were all being escorted and kneeling on the ground.

The young people were held hostage and they did not dare to resist.

"My subordinate failed to arrive in time, which frightened the young master. I hope the young master will forgive me."

A young man about the same age as Pei Jie walked out of a dozen people in black attire, knelt down on one knee, saluted Hu Fei respectfully and said.

"Who are you?"

Hu Fei looked at the young man and asked calmly.

From the memories of his previous life, he did not recall the person in front of him.

"We were ordered by the Prime Minister to protect the young master in secret."

The young man said respectfully, with a low voice and an expressionless face.

Hu Fei frowned, looked at these people, and then looked at Chundie who was holding a knife in both hands. He already knew in his heart that it seemed that Hu Weiyong had really cultivated his own secret power in private.

"Get up, I came in time, I forgive you."

Hu Fei waved his hand, signaling the young man to get up.

He knew that these people would not tell their origins before getting Hu Weiyong's approval.

The young man agreed, stood up and stepped aside.

"You hide it so well, I never noticed that you are a master."

Hu Fei turned around and looked at Chundie who was holding the young man hostage, and said lightly. As he spoke, he walked out of the corner and sat down again in his previous position.

"Please forgive me, Master. I didn't intend to hide it from Master. I will explain it to Master slowly when things get settled."

"This person is so bold, how should I deal with him?"

Chundie awkwardly bowed to Hu Fei and said slowly.

"Let him go."

Hu Fei said without hesitation, then shook the still empty wine bottle in his hand, raised his head and took a sip.

"Master?"

Chundie frowned and said hesitantly.

Hu Fei looked at Chundie again, his face showing dignity.

Chundie didn't dare to say anything more, she put away her dagger and let go of the young man dressed as a scholar.

"Why kill me?"

Hu Fei looked at the young man and asked with interest.

"The matter has come to an end. No need to say more. I will kill or behead you as you wish!"

The young man snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.

"Are you surrendering now?"

Hu Fei smiled and asked lightly.

"We never thought about leaving alive before we came here! Since the assassination failed, there is nothing to say!"

The young man said stubbornly.

"Since you don't want to leave alive, why do you cover your face? If you are afraid of being recognized, it means you don't want to die."

Hu Fei shook his head and said.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, the young man couldn't help but frown and hesitated to speak.

"Looking at your appearance, you should be considered a person who has read the book. Didn't the book tell you that to kill people, you have to find someone who can kill them?"

"How could you possibly kill me if you found a group of people whose hands could shake even when killing a chicken?"

Hu Fei looked at the young man and asked with laughter.

Seeing the complacent Hu Fei, the young man clenched his fists and his eyes were suddenly filled with resentment and anger.

"I know even if you don't tell me, you killed me just to deal with Hu Weiyong. The one who really has a grudge against you should be Hu Weiyong, right?"

"You might as well tell it and listen. Maybe I can avenge you."

Hu Fei looked at the young man and continued.

The young man was stunned for a moment, looking at Hu Fei as if he were a monster. How could he help an outsider seek revenge against his own father?

"The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable! Even if you father and son can escape this time, sooner or later, you will have an unhappy death!"

The young man stared at Hu Fei and said fiercely.

"presumptuous!"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, the young man on the other side who was ordered to secretly protect Hu Fei shouted sharply and pulled out the short knife in his hand!

"Stop! It's none of your business!"

Hu Fei's face darkened and he shouted sternly.

"Revenge for killing my father? Who are you?! If you don't say anything, I will kill all your men!"

Hu Fei raised his eyebrows, stared at the young man, and continued to ask.

"My father, Liu Ji! He died of illness four years ago, all because of his worship to your father, Hu Weiyong!"

The young man stared at Hu Fei and gritted his teeth helplessly.

It seemed that he valued the lives of his men more than his own.

"Liu Ji?! Are you Liu Bowen's son?!"

When Hu Fei heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed, and then he understood everything.

Liu Bowen fell ill not long after he resigned and returned to his hometown. When Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he sent Hu Weiyong with his imperial doctor to visit him. However, since Hu Weiyong went there, Liu Bowen's condition suddenly worsened.

According to later records, some people have inferred that Liu Bowen's death may be related to Hu Weiyong. Even Liu Bowen himself felt that Hu Weiyong had harmed him, because he had offended Hu Weiyong by saying something wrong about Hu Weiyong in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

But after Hu Fei saw Hu Weiyong with his own eyes, he felt that Hu Weiyong was not that kind of person. Even if he was really dissatisfied with Liu Bowen in his heart, he would not secretly kill Liu Bowen.

"Now that you know my identity, are you satisfied? This whole thing happened because of me alone and has nothing to do with them. Just kill me and let them go!"

The young man stared at Hu Fei and said firmly.

"Are you Liu Jing?!"

Hu Fei stared at the young man and asked in a deep voice.

Liu Bowen had two sons. The eldest son Liu Lian died two years ago.
