North Street.

Hong Bin Building.

Backyard main hall.

Looking at Qi Yun who looked embarrassed, Hu Fei smiled and looked at the people behind Qi Yun.

"You all go down."

Hu Fei glanced at the rest of the crowd, waved his hands and said.

Everyone agreed, bowed one after another, turned around and walked out, with happiness written all over their faces.

As others left one after another, only Pei Jie and the others were left in the main hall, as well as Qi Yun, who was frozen in place at a loss.

"Take the remaining money in the box with you and divide it equally among each level. If it's not enough, go directly to Huifeng Bank and ask her for it."

Hu Fei looked at Qi Yun, smiled, pointed at Qiuli and said.

"Master, do we also have a share?"

Qi Yun looked at Hu Fei and asked hesitantly.

Those people just now have done things for the young master to some extent, but these people only swore allegiance to the young master, but they did not do anything for the young master.

Therefore, he felt guilty for letting him take the money.

"Of course, I have just said that since you have followed me, I will not treat anyone badly. If I were not worried about making too much noise, I would have wanted to meet them."

Hu Fei smiled and said affirmatively.

"Thank you young master, we will be loyal to you till death!"

Qi Yun nodded gratefully, cupped his hands, and said sincerely.

"Don't talk about death all day long. Live well if you can. You only have one life, so don't take it so seriously."

Hu Fei waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Yes, that's what the young master taught me."

Qi Yun nodded, cupped his hands and said.

"Okay, it's getting late. Go back quickly. There's a carriage ready at the back door. There are still a few boxes in the car. Find a quieter place and distribute the money to everyone one by one. Be careful to keep it secret."

Hu Fei waved his hand and said slowly.

"Yes, Master."

Qi Yun bowed his hands and bowed, hugging the box on the table and exiting.

Upon seeing this, Pei Jie accompanied Qi Yun and escorted him away.

Hu Fei sat on the chair and watched Qi Yun slowly walk out of the main hall, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, with a thoughtful look on his face.

To be honest, he didn't know how many people Qi Yun and the others had developed so far. In order to keep it secret, he asked Qi Yun to divide everyone into different levels and communicate and manage them separately. Even Qi Yun didn't know the specific number of people.

, let alone him.

But he knew that if one day he really needed to use these people, they would be a force that cannot be underestimated.

The lower the people are, the more willing they are to spare themselves at critical moments. This is what they want.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Pang Yuhai were standing in front of the Lego box, piecing together pieces of wood according to the paintings.

For the past two days, Zhu Yuanzhang has been immersed in it, becoming more and more interested. He has restored nearly half of the collapsed model, and the magnificent model of the entire capital has begun to take shape.

Seeing his masterpiece, Zhu Yuanzhang was in high spirits with a smile on his face.

He was very interested, but Pang Yuhai suffered a lot. In order to make Zhu Yuanzhang more relaxed, he always found out the required wooden blocks one by one according to the painting and placed them in the corresponding positions, and then Zhu Yuanzhang put them together piece by piece.

.

At this moment, a young eunuch slowly walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here."

The little eunuch bowed respectfully and whispered.

"Huh? Why is she here so late?"

"Announce it."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was playing with Lego, was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion.

The little eunuch agreed, bowed and stepped back.

Soon, Queen Ma slowly walked in from outside the palace.

When she saw Zhu Yuanzhang immersed in Lego piecing together, she couldn't help but smile and slowly walked closer.

"I have met His Majesty."

While looking at the half-assembled Lego, Queen Ma bowed and said hello softly.

"Well, it's so late, why did you want to come over?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked without looking back.

"What? Could it be that my concubine disturbed His Majesty?"

"It seems that your Majesty's thoughts are all on this pile of wood blocks. I came here specially, but Your Majesty didn't even look at me."

"In this case, I will leave first."

Queen Ma pouted and was about to leave as she spoke.

"Zitong, what are you talking about? Don't bother me, not at all."

Hearing Queen Ma's words, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around quickly, smiled and said softly.

"I thought His Majesty would only focus on this thing. If it weren't for it, Your Majesty wouldn't even have gone to Kunning Palace since the New Year's Banquet."

"It's all Hu Fei's fault. I will summon him to the palace tomorrow and take care of him."

Queen Ma glanced at the Lego box and said pretending to be angry.

"No, no, ah, I have nothing to do. Since you are here, I will just accompany you."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Empress Ma wanted to deal with Hu Fei as an excuse, he hurriedly waved his hands and said, and then quietly motioned to Pang Yuhai to close the Lego lid.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Empress Ma smiled with satisfaction, helped Zhu Yuanzhang sit on the couch, and poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yuanzhang herself.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the gentle Queen Ma with a smile on his lips, then hesitated for a moment, and unconsciously smelled a special smell.

"Your Majesty, it seems that your impression of Hu Fei has changed a lot recently."

Then, Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked tentatively.

"Well, this time at the annual banquet, he once again surprised me. I have to say that he is indeed a rare talent."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said sincerely.

"In this case, why not let him and Chang Shu get married as soon as possible? Now that Hu Fei has been promoted to Jiu'an Hou, and his status has become more and more different, isn't it the right time?"

When Queen Ma heard this, she hurriedly took the opportunity to speak.

But after listening to Queen Ma's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but shook his head.

"You don't know everything. I gave him the title of Jiu'an Hou at the annual banquet. Although it seems that the ministers congratulated him one after another, some of them must be dissatisfied. If they are allowed to get married so soon, Hu Fei will be allowed to become the consort again.

I’m afraid there are more people who are dissatisfied with this position.”

"If this is really the case, those people will have to come to me and make irresponsible remarks. It gives me a headache just thinking about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said slowly.

"Then does His Majesty want to prevent others from consummating their marriage just because they are worried about their dissatisfaction?"

When Queen Ma heard this, she said dissatisfiedly.

"Of course not. Of course I will not change my mind about what I have already decided. However, what I am thinking is that the New Year has passed and spring is coming. After Hu Fei has achieved certain results in spring, I will let them do it again.

When people get married, they can stop the mouths of those people and save them from talking all day long."

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly explained.

"Participating in the Spring Festival? This is a good idea, but with his temperament, will he go? I remember that even entering the Imperial Academy was forced by His Majesty's personal decree."

Queen Ma nodded, but then said worriedly.

"It's not up to him. If it really doesn't work, I will issue another imperial edict. When the time comes, he will have to go whether he goes or not!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said loudly.

"That's good. With his talent, he will definitely achieve success in the spring. Even if he is not the top pick, he will be ranked third overall."

Queen Ma nodded and said with satisfaction.
