Royal Palace.

Fengtian Hall.

"You want to kill my son!? Tu Jie! You are so brave!"

After listening to Tu Jie's words, before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak to him, Hu Weiyong on the side had already stared at Tu Jie and asked sternly.

"Then he deserves to die! Don't you know what your own son is like?! In these years, he has been a playboy and arrogant because he is the son of the prime minister. What else does he do besides drinking and having fun all day long?! He even did it in public a few days ago

The people who beat up the soldiers and horses in the capital are so lawless! They are simply a disgrace to our Ming Dynasty!"

"All this is just because you have too much power in the court now. If you continue to let it go, our Ming Dynasty will be in danger! For the sake of Ming Dynasty, I will not hesitate to offend you!"

"Your Majesty, everything Wei Chen said is true! As for the murder in Yanyu Tower, it was all framed by Hu Fei and framed by Wei Chen! Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

Tu Jie raised his head and said decisively.

"Tu Jie, it seems that you are confused. In the first sentence, you are still saying that my son has accomplished nothing and can do nothing but drink and have fun. However, in the second sentence, you say that he framed all this. Does he have that ability? After all,

Which sentence is true? Which sentence is false?”

After hearing this, Hu Weiyong sneered, shook his head and said.

"I..."

When Tu Jie heard this, he realized that he had made a mistake and didn't know how to explain it.

"You have nothing to say?"

"You don't have to make excuses. Even your own housekeeper has confessed. What else do you have to say? If you confess now, maybe His Majesty will be lenient to you."

Hu Weiyong shook his head and said sincerely, seemingly not angry at Tu Jie's remarks.

"Your Majesty, you must be aware of this! All of this was planned by Hu Fei. He must have bribed the steward of the minister's house, and worked together to kill him! The death of Liu Bowen back then was inseparable from the Hu family!

This is the best time to eradicate Hu Weiyong and depose the Prime Minister!"

Tu Jie looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again and pleaded.

"enough!"

"Tujie, you are too presumptuous! When did I say that I would weaken the power of the Prime Minister?! When did I say that I was dissatisfied with the Prime Minister Hu?! What are you talking nonsense?!"

"You are about to die but you still don't know how to repent and are still here biting and biting randomly. You really can't be saved!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table hard, his eyes widened, and he said fiercely.

"Your Majesty, everything I said is true!"

Tu Jie said with a sad face.

"Someone! Pull him down! I don't want to see him again!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and shouted sternly.

Luo Ping, who was standing next to Tu Jie, immediately agreed and led his men to drag Tu Jiesheng down.

"Your Majesty! I have been wronged! Please have mercy on me!"

"Your Majesty! It's unfair!"

Tu Jie struggled, screamed in despair, and was finally taken away from the hall.

"Xiang Hu, don't take what Tu Jie said just to heart. I have never thought about deposing you as prime minister. I have seen all your hard work for the court over the years. Don't be fooled."

Others provoke it.”

"Tu Jie knew that he would not be able to escape the death penalty, so he was already crazy when he thought about it..."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Hu Weiyong, sighed and said.

"Your Majesty is worried too much. I understand. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I have always been loyal to Your Majesty and to the Ming Dynasty. I am so heartbroken that I have died."

Hu Weiyong saluted and said respectfully.

"That's serious nonsense. Of course I know your loyalty."

"In your opinion, how should we deal with Tu Jie? After all, he himself has just admitted that Zeng Ce was involved in Xiao Hufei's car accident. How do you want to deal with him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said slowly.

"The evidence for the crime of Tu Jie is conclusive. It is entirely up to Your Majesty to decide. I dare not say more."

Hu Weiyong hurriedly answered with his hands raised.

"All right..."

"The rebellious minister Tu Jie has committed a heinous crime that cannot be tolerated by heaven. He will be sentenced to death. The entire Zhongcheng government will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial and he will be dealt with according to the law."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Hu Weiyong bowed and saluted, and said slowly.

"Okay, I'm tired. Prime Minister Hu should go back to his house to rest."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said feebly.

"I excuse myself."

Hu Weiyong agreed, bowed, and slowly exited the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Weiyong's leaving figure and frowned slightly, with a complicated expression.

At this point, Tu Jie's case was concluded, and the truth about Hu Fei's car accident was revealed, which soon spread throughout the government and the public.

...

Hu Mansion.

Linglong Court.

After Hu Fei took Chundie and Pei Jie to buy the shop, he had returned to Hu's house early and was currently lying on the table in the main hall, continuing to write and draw.

He has thought of a good way to make money. Due to many restrictions, he feels that the easiest way to make money now is catering, so he plans to open a restaurant.

Food is the first priority for the people, so people must eat. No matter what dynasty, no matter high or low, everyone must eat.

What he is doing now is designing a sketch for the decoration of the hotel. Since it is going to be opened, it must be different from others and unique in the world, so he plans to think about it carefully.

At this moment, Mu Ping walked in quickly from the front yard and came all the way to the main hall.

"Young Master, the Prime Minister is back and asked the Young Master to go to the study."

Mu Ping bowed his hands and said respectfully.

"Back from the palace?"

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

"yes."

Mu Ping nodded and answered simply.

"how do you feel?"

Hu Fei asked.

"Seems good."

Mu Ping thought about it for a moment and answered hesitantly.

"knew."

Hu Fei smiled, put away his pen, looked at the sketch in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Pei Jie, give this drawing to the construction workers and ask them to build it according to the drawing. If the construction is different from this sketch, I will not pay for it."

Hu Fei stood up, handed the final sketch to Pei Jie who was standing aside, and said with a smile.

Pei Jie agreed and took the sketch. After looking at it carefully, he showed a trace of doubt because he had never seen a similar shop in the capital.

"Let's go and see how the old man is feeling."

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei walked towards the front yard while talking.

...

The front yard of Hu Mansion.

study.

As soon as Hu Fei walked in, he found Hu Weiyong looking at him with a stern face.

"What's wrong? Look at you, why do you feel like someone owes you five thousand taels of silver?"

Hu Fei smiled and asked, sitting on the chair next to him, picking up the teapot and taking a sip.

"Tu Jie is dead."

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei and said without blinking.

"Really? That wouldn't be nice."
