Chapter Fourteen The Truth(1/2)
North Street.
Yanyu Tower.
"I admire your father's character and talent. His reputation is well known to the world. How could anyone harm such a person? How could anyone dare to harm him?"
"Seeing is believing. Many things may seem related, but they may not be true. I can guarantee that your father's death has nothing to do with my father."
Hu Fei looked at Liu Jing and said seriously.
For some reason, he never believed that Hu Weiyong killed Liu Bowen.
Perhaps, it is because I have seen the sincere fatherly love in Hu Weiyong's eyes.
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Liu Jing seemed to have lost her soul. She was suddenly discouraged, reached out and took off the black cloth covering her face, and sat down on the ground limply.
"Sir..."
Among the killers in black kneeling on the ground, a middle-aged man looked at Liu Jing who was in a state of despair and couldn't help but speak, his eyes full of worry.
"I didn't expect that what you just said is so similar to my father's last words before his death. They are almost word for word. That is indeed what he has been pursuing all his life."
"If this old man had any knowledge, he would definitely be happy if he knew that there is someone who has the same expectations as him in this world."
Liu Jing slowly raised her head, looked at Hu Fei, and said with a sigh of relief.
Hu Fei nodded pretending to be profound, shook his head and sighed.
In fact, the reason why he was able to say what he just said was that he happened to read about Liu Bowen's deeds in historical materials, so he could recite it leisurely.
His memory has always been good.
"My father and I have been close friends for a long time. It would have been a blessing to have known him earlier, but it's a pity..."
"But even so, I cannot tolerate someone using your father to seek personal gain for themselves. Tell me, who is the person who is conspiring with you?"
Hu Fei sighed and said angrily.
"How do you know there is still..."
Liu Jing was stunned for a moment and looked at Hu Fei in surprise.
"The person who bribed the coachman will definitely not be the same as the person who caused the car accident, otherwise the acting will not be so real, and there will probably be other mistakes in the process. So I conclude that the person who wants to kill me must be
It’s two groups.”
"And the person who thought of bribing the Hu family's coachman is, after all, a member of the capital, and he knows the Hu family very well. Killing me was just a pretext. What he really wanted to deal with was my father, Hu Weiyong, so he must be a member of the court.
The one above."
"Am i right?"
Hu Fei stared at Liu Jing and asked word for word.
"People say that the prime minister's son is a playboy who only knows how to live and drink and accomplish nothing. But when I saw him today, it was not the case. It seems that the rumors cannot be believed. Liu Jing has learned a lesson."
Liu Jing looked at Hu Fei and couldn't help but cupped her hands and said.
He didn't expect that Hu Fei revealed the key to the whole matter in just a few words.
"Tell me, it's not you I want to deal with, but the person hiding behind you."
Hu Fei looked at Liu Jing and continued to ask.
"Censor Zhongcheng, Tu Jie!"
Liu Jing hesitated for a moment and finally made the move.
When he heard the name Tu Jie, Hu Fei's expression immediately changed.
Tu Festival!
How could I have forgotten the initiator of this!?
According to historical records, Tu Jie was originally from Hu Weiyong's faction, but he had a gap with Hu Weiyong. Finally, in order to please Zhu Yuanzhang, he secretly reported to Zhu Yuanzhang that Hu Weiyong had rebelled, which eventually led to the Hu Weiyong case, which implicated nearly 30,000 people in prison.
Kill.
"very good."
Hu Fei gritted his teeth, nodded and said.
"You don't look surprised at all."
Looking at Hu Fei, whose expression had hardly changed, Liu Jing frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"He's just a censor, Zhongcheng. There's nothing to fear."
"You can't stay in the capital anymore. Leave the city overnight and don't show up again until Tu Jie is dead."
Hu Fei curled his lips and said seriously.
After hearing Hu Fei's words, Liu Jing was even more shocked.
A mere censor Zhongcheng?
Before Tu Jie died?
That was an official of the second rank, how could he kill at will?
"Remember my words, don't show up again until this matter is completely over."
"Whether you can kill me or not, Tu Jie will not let you go, and will definitely kill people and silence them! So you should take your people and leave as soon as possible. After I return home, I will also let go of the person I arrested before.
,Do not worry."
Hu Fei looked at Liu Jing and said seriously.
"Thank you Mr. Hu for disregarding past grudges. I will definitely repay you for what I have done before."
Liu Jing nodded gratefully, cupped her hands, and said respectfully.
Hu Fei smiled and waved his hand for Liu Jing to leave.
But at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
The young man standing next to Pei Jie, wearing black attire, turned around and opened the door a crack, and then saw a man in the same attire outside whispering a few words to him.
Immediately afterwards, the young man turned and looked at Hu Fei, his expression slightly solemn.
"Young Master, the people from the Capital Military and Horse Department are here!"
After hearing what the young man said, Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that someone reported the crime, but it was too late.
"Did anyone see you come in?"
Hu Fei looked up at the young man and asked in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, young master, we are very careful. No one noticed us except the people from Yanyu Tower. But I think they were frightened. Even if they see us in the future, they may not be able to recognize us."
The young man replied affirmatively.
"In this case, you should leave quickly. Don't be caught by the capital's soldiers and horses, and don't let those secret eyes see you leaving here."
Hu Fei said immediately.
"Master, how will you respond when the people from the Capital Army and Horses Department come? Do you need to inform the Prime Minister?"
The young man said hesitantly.
"No, I just drank a few more glasses of wine here and knocked over a few tables. I didn't kill anyone or set anything on fire."
Hu Fei smiled and said confidently.
"The subordinate retreated first."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly, and quickly withdrew from the private room.
Liu Jing also bowed, turned around and walked out with her people.
"Don't worry, I will find an opportunity to report your Majesty's last words truthfully."
Hu Fei looked at Liu Jing and said seriously.
When Liu Jing heard this, she trembled all over, then turned around, bowed deeply, and left quickly with her men.
For a time, only Hu Fei, Pei Jie, and Chundie were left in the entire elegant room.
Hu Fei did not hesitate and immediately ordered Pei Jie to bring Du Qiniang, the owner of Yanyu Tower, and all the girls who were in the private room just now.
"Don't leak a single word about what happened today. Remember, nothing happened here. I just came here to call a few girls and have a drink, nothing else."
"If you dare to reveal even a single word, not only will there be no more Yanyu Tower in the capital, there will no longer be Du Qiniang."
Hu Fei stared into Du Qiniang's eyes and spoke word by word, his eyes cold.
"Yes, yes, nothing happened here tonight."
Du Qiniang looked pale, shrank her neck, nodded hurriedly and said.
Facing Hu Fei, the biggest playboy in the capital, she would not dare to offend him even if he lent her eight courages. Naturally, she could understand the seriousness of Hu Fei's warning.
At this moment, footsteps were heard, and a group of officers and soldiers in armor rushed in with weapons in hand.
