The case of the theft of Yushitai quickly caused a stir in the city.

The army of the capital sealed off the whole city and was ordered to capture the audacious gangsters. This made the people in the capital panic. Every day when it got dark, they locked their doors and hid all their belongings and money.

However, Tu Jie, who is the leader of the Yushitai, has been ill for several days and is staying in bed.

In order to express his sympathy for his ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang sent the palace physician to visit Zhongcheng Mansion.

At this time, Hu Fei was thinking hard at home, planning to do some business in the capital city. He was wandering around the streets in his free time, trying to choose a prime location to open a shop.

Having money is one thing, but being able to make money is another.

Although Hu Weiyong, as prime minister, had one of the highest salaries in the court, and with the daily rewards from His Majesty, his family was not short of money, which was enough for the most handsome man in the capital to squander, but Hu Fei did not want to rely on his old age and planned to start a career on his own.

Hu Mansion.

Linglong Court.

Hu Fei was lying on the table in the main hall, looking through a pile of papers filled with ideas, scratching his head, and his hair was almost pulled out.

He is not a person who is good at business, otherwise his life in his previous life would not be so difficult. But after all, his thinking is hundreds of years ahead of the people here, so he wants to transfer the way of doing business hundreds of years later.

Come now.

However, after thinking about it for several days, I still couldn't come up with a perfect solution, because compared to the previous life, most of the current conditions are too backward, creating many restrictions for no reason.

He seemed to no longer care about Tu Jie's life or death.

While Hu Fei was thinking hard, a man walked in quickly from the front yard, it was Mu Ping.

"Master, the matter you asked me to investigate is now clear."

Mu Ping walked into the main hall, bowed respectfully, and spoke slowly.

"How about it? Is it the money stolen from Yushitai?"

Hu Fei raised his head, glanced at Mu Ping, and asked calmly.

"Indeed."

Mu Ping was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Hearing Mu Ping's answer, Hu Fei raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

He had already guessed that Tu Jie had tampered with the public money in Yushitai and asked Mu Ping to investigate, firstly to make sure, and secondly to take this opportunity to arrange an errand for Mu Ping, so that Hu Weiyong would not think that he was not

People who trust him.

When I went to tell Hu Weiyong about Pei Jie the day before yesterday, Hu Weiyong was very embarrassed.

The Tu Festival is over.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty and had been extorted by corrupt officials. In view of the political chaos in the Yuan Dynasty, he governed the country violently. After taking the throne, he launched a series of anti-corruption campaigns across the country, targeting corrupt officials at all levels from the capital to the local areas.

.

Any official in the government who embezzles more than sixty taels of silver will be killed without mercy! From local counties and governments to the Sixth Department of the Capital and Zhongshu Province, as long as it is corruption, no matter who is involved, we will never be merciful and will investigate to the end!

Five thousand taels is enough to make Tu Jie's head disappear.

"I know, thank you for your hard work, let's go down."

Hu Fei glanced at Mu Ping and said with a smile.

Everything is under his control, and the fun has just begun.

"yes."

Mu Pingping saluted, glanced at Hu Fei who was immersed in writing and drawing, and turned to leave.

He always felt as if he had done a very inexplicable errand, and it felt like it was unnecessary.

After leaving Linglong Garden, Mu Ping returned to the front yard and returned his orders to Hu Weiyong.

"He's not surprised at all?"

Hu Weiyong frowned and asked after hearing Mu Ping's reply.

"No, it seems indifferent. I don't know what to write on the paper. The table is full of papers."

Mu Ping shook his head and said with the same doubt.

"What is this brat doing again? Is he plotting something again?"

Hu Weiyong frowned in thought and said to himself.

Now he found more and more that he couldn't figure out his son. He could only figure out many things based on the information sent back by Mu Ping and then think about it carefully. Every time he realized it later.

"Prime Minister, there is one more thing. The old man sent away by the young master was the one whom the young master rescued on the street that day. My subordinates also discovered something. This man had taken five hundred yuan a few days ago.

Two lines of silver went to Tu Jie's house to find work for his son."

Mu Ping hesitated for a moment and continued.

"I understand. Let's stop this matter. Don't let anyone know about it. Also, find a way to erase all traces of that old man in the capital. There has never been such a person in the capital."

After hearing this, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but smile with approval, stroking his beard and said.

"yes."

Mu Ping agreed and immediately turned around and left.

Hu Weiyong nodded frequently, sat on the chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, with a proud smile on his lips.

"As expected of me, Hu Weiyong's son."

...

Tufu.

study.

"Sir, your Majesty won't be suspicious, right? He sent the royal doctor here again today. Isn't he testing?"

Qi Yu lowered his voice, approached Tu Jie, who was sitting on a chair wrapped in a quilt, and asked in a low voice.

In order to make himself less sick, Tu Jie took advantage of the cold night and jumped directly into the small pond in the backyard, letting himself catch the cold.

"No, maybe it's because I haven't seen you well for several days in a row, so it's out of concern. I did this very secretly. The people involved in the operation are all my confidants, so there shouldn't be any mistakes."

"As long as we hold on for a few more days, by the time the people from the Capital Military and Horse Department can't find anything, this matter will be over."

"But before that, my illness cannot be cured. It seems that I will have to go to the pond again tonight..."

Tu Jie said and couldn't help but shudder.

Qi Yu also shrank his neck after hearing this. He couldn't bear the thought.

You must know that Taishi Liu Bowen died of cold.

"By the way, sir, the old man who spent five hundred taels of silver to find a job for his son has not been seen in the past few days, and his son has never been seen. Do you want to go look for him?"

Qi Yu was about to retreat when he suddenly remembered the incident and hurriedly reported it.

"Are you out of your mind?! It's already this time, why are you causing more trouble? It's a good idea not to come. This matter should not be made public to avoid being known!"

When Tu Jie heard this, he was furious and said reproachfully.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Qi Yu agreed, shrank his neck, and retreated slowly.

"yawn!"

Tu Jie sneezed and couldn't help but wrap the quilt tighter around him.

...

Royal Palace.

Fengtian Hall.

"Your Majesty, I have something that I want to report. I don't know if I should report it. This matter may be related to the theft of Yushitai."

Early in the morning, Captain Mao hurriedly came to see him.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial at hand and said with a frown.

The theft case has been aroused recently, but no clues have been found. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried.

"A few days ago, when I was supervising Hu Fei, I saw that Tu Jie, the censor Zhongcheng, had gone to Yanyu Tower twice, and Hu Fei was there at the time. When Tu Jie went there the second time, he was carrying a box.

The slave was far away and did not see what was in the box, but it looked heavy."

Captain Mao hesitated and said while recalling the situation that day.

"Why didn't this matter be reported that day?! Not to mention whether Tu Jie was related to the theft case, just the fact that he visited the brothel secretly is intolerable to me! Don't you know?!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately asked dissatisfiedly.

"I know my mistake! Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Captain Mao trembled in fright and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
