East Palace.

In the main hall.

Mao Xiang was completely confused. He originally thought that confessing Han Jiang would buy him a chance of survival, but when things developed now, he suddenly realized that he had become the unforgivable culprit.

However, just as he was begging Zhu Biao, his eyes blurred, and he realized that Hu Fei had appeared in front of him, and his right hand had reached into his arms!

"Hu Fei!"

Seeing Hu Fei's sudden move, Zhu Biao immediately realized something was wrong and hurriedly shouted to stop it, but it was already too late!

I saw a flash of golden light, followed by a spurt of blood, and Mao Xiang fell straight back!

A stream of blood spurted out from between Mao Xiang's hands covering his neck!

In Hu Fei's hand, he held the golden dragon dagger that had been unsheathed, and drops of blood dripped from the blade onto the ground!

Things happened too fast. By the time everyone reacted, Mao Xiang had already been wiped on the neck by Hu Fei!

No one thought that Hu Fei would dare to kill someone in the East Palace in front of the prince!

Even Xiao Qi didn't have time to stop him!

"If it weren't for the fact that my father was not implicated by you, I would never have let you die so easily!"

Hu Fei looked coldly at Mao Xiang who fell on the ground, and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.

But when he said this, his eyes were clearly smiling, a sneer full of disdain, and only Mao Xiang saw it.

Mao Xiang glared at Hu Fei fiercely, pointed a finger at Hu Fei, struggled, but could not say a word.

At this moment, he finally understood that all this was Hu Fei's conspiracy!

But it was already too late.

"Hu Fei! What are you doing?!"

At this time, Zhu Biao, who had come back to his senses, glared at Hu Fei and shouted sternly.

Xiao Qi on the side had already grasped the handle of the knife with one hand, looking at Hu Fei warily, ready to take action at any time.

"Wei Chen deserves to die!"

But then, under everyone's gaze, Hu Fei suddenly knelt on the ground, respectfully placed the golden dragon dagger in front of him, and bowed his hands to Zhu Biao with a respectful expression.

"You are so brave!"

"I haven't given the order yet, why are you killing people in public?!"

Zhu Biao stared at Hu Fei and said in a deep voice, with a hint of suppressed anger in his eyes.

"To report to His Highness the Crown Prince, I heard that Mao Xiang actually wanted to harm my father for his own personal grudge. I was impulsive. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me!"

Hu Fei looked up at Zhu Biao and said with indignation, like a filial son avenging his father.

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei, who looked remorseful, and frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Now that Mao Xiang is dead, there is no evidence of his death, which makes it impossible to continue to find out who wanted to deliberately murder Hu Weiyong.

It was as if the whole story of what had been a matter of doubt just now suddenly became clear.

But Zhu Biao was still not sure. Would a military inspector really have the guts to plot against the prime minister of the dynasty?

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but look at Han Jiang, who was standing with a bow, frowning slightly.

At this time, although Han Jiang stood motionless, his heart was already in turmoil and his spine felt chilly.

He was the last person to expect that Hu Fei would dare to kill Mao Xiang in front of the prince, so he couldn't help but become more afraid of Hu Fei.

"Your Highness, if you feel that the minister is at fault, how about you complain later? It is better to deal with the current matter first."

At this moment, Hu Fei raised his hands and spoke again.

"Get up!"

Zhu Biao stared at Hu Fei for a moment and finally said in a deep voice.

He could understand Hu Fei's eagerness to avenge his father.

However, Hu Fei killed the key person in the case after all, which cast a layer of uncertainty into the gradually clear truth.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Hu Fei thanked him with his hands, stood up slowly, put away the golden dragon dagger, and put it back into his arms.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei turned and looked at Han Jiang with a serious look on his face.

"Commander Han, are you sure you didn't secretly instruct Mao Xiang to bribe Yun Qi privately and plan to frame my father?"

Hu Fei stared into Han Jiang's eyes and asked word for word.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Han Jiang couldn't help but feel shocked, but he didn't show it.

"Reporting to Hou Jiu'an, I can swear that I have nothing to do with this matter!"

Han Jiang cupped his hands and answered seriously.

"Okay, I believe you."

Hu Fei nodded and said affirmatively.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei turned to look at Zhu Biao again.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, this matter can be settled. Mao Xiang was responsible for everything. Yun Qi and the three of them were all accomplices. It was all thanks to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince's clear observation, that he exposed Mao Xiang's conspiracy in one fell swoop!"

"Your kindness will never be forgotten in my lifetime. Thank you so much, Your Highness!"

Hu Fei bowed again and said with gratitude.

Seeing Hu Fei's series of inexplicable actions, Zhu Biao was speechless for a moment. He hesitated and froze on the spot, not knowing whether to be happy or angry.

Seeing Zhu Biao's hesitation, Hu Fei turned and looked at Xiao Qi and Han Jiang.

"Commander Xiao, Commander Han, please wait outside first and take the three of them down."

Hu Fei looked at Xiao Qi and said lightly.

After hearing what Hu Fei said, Xiao Qi hesitated and looked up at Zhu Biao.

"Everyone, please step back first."

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

He knew that Hu Fei must have something to say to him.

"yes!"

Xiao Qi and Han Jiang agreed at the same time and led the three people out of the hall.

Suddenly, only Hu Fei and Zhu Biao were left in the hall.

"Your Highness, if you have any questions, you can ask me now."

Hu Fei turned to look at Zhu Biao and said slowly.

Zhu Biao frowned and looked at Hu Fei.

He clearly saw that Hu Fei had something to say to him, but he didn't expect that Hu Fei would become passive instead of active.

"Why did you kill Mao Xiang? You clearly know that the matter has not been thoroughly investigated. Even if you are eager for revenge, there is no need to rush!"

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, Mao Xiang must die. The trial cannot continue. It is the right time to end it now."

Hu Fei shook his head and said seriously.

"Why?!"

After hearing what Hu Fei said, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"May I ask His Highness the Crown Prince if you still doubt Han Jiang?"

Hu Fei smiled and asked slowly.

"Yes, besides Mao Xiang, he is the most suspect! Mao Xiang's confession is not unreasonable!"

Zhu Biao nodded and said in a deep voice.

"So we can't continue the trial, let alone let Mao Xiang prove that what he said is the truth. There can be no truth in this matter itself."

Hu Fei shook his head and said in a deep voice.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Zhu Biao frowned at first, and then his face suddenly changed, as if he had understood something.

"If it is confirmed that Han Jiang was also involved in the plot and participated in the party struggle on behalf of the school, once His Majesty knows about this matter, Long Yan will definitely be furious. Moreover, if the civil and military officials know about it, the matter will only be worse, and it will be involved.

But if you move your whole body, the consequences are hard to predict!"

"Furthermore, once His Majesty knows about this matter, it means that His Majesty already knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has interfered with the inspection of the school without him. Will Your Majesty blame His Highness for this? After all, the inspection of the school only takes orders from His Majesty, and even the six departments

Neither the Governor nor the Governor’s Office have the right to interfere!”

"So this matter cannot get too big. It is best to end it here with Mao Xiang. It not only avoids a disaster, saves my father, but also curbs the serious consequences that may arise if the matter gets too big. I believe that after this matter,
To be continued...
