The Governor's Mansion.

Governor's office.

Li Wenzhong sat on the chair and looked at Xiong Yi who was kneeling in front of him, his face gloomy. He could not imagine that someone would dare to be so bold under his nose.

What made him even more unacceptable was that this incident was actually discovered by Hu Fei, who had nothing to do. This was the ridicule that made him most uncomfortable.

"Captain, what do you mean?"

Holding the last glimmer of hope, Xiong Yi looked up at Li Wenzhong and asked with a grimace.

"What do you mean?! Until now, you are still pretending to be crazy in front of this governor?!"

"Xiong Yi, do you know your guilt?!"

Li Wenzhong stared at Xiong Yi with a livid face and asked sternly.

"Commander, what is the crime of this subordinate?"

Xiong Yi pretended to be confused and looked at Li Wenzhong in confusion and asked.

"You dare to deny it even when you are about to die?!"

"You embezzled military gifts, opened private mines without permission, and fabricated ordnance. You are already a capital crime!"

Li Wenzhong glared at Xiong Yi and said coldly.

"Captain, I am wronged, wronged!"

When Xiong Yi heard this, his face instantly turned pale, and he hurriedly begged and shouted, his forehead instantly soaked with cold sweat.

"What an injustice. What an injustice. Are you really so easy to deceive as the Governor?!"

Li Wenzhong gritted his teeth and said coldly.

At this moment, Zhao He quickly walked in from the door.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the account books have been verified. What Jiu'an Hou said is true. One is true and the other is false. The figures of Xiong Yi's embezzled military gifts are astonishing. I hope the Commander-in-Chief will make a decision!"

As Zhao He said this, he respectfully presented the true and false account books to Li Wenzhong.

With a livid face, Li Wenzhong took the account book and looked down at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the uglier his face became.

Xiong Yi was kneeling on the ground, his eyes wide open, his teeth clenched tightly, and he suddenly felt boundless hatred for Hu Fei in his heart.

Now he finally understood that he had fallen into Hu Fei's hands!

"What else do you have to say?!"

Li Wenzhong threw the true and false ledgers in Xiong Yi's face and asked sternly.

"Captain..."

Xiong Yi grimaced and wanted to explain, but found that he had nothing to do.

"you say!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Wenzhong turned to look at the person in charge of the private mine who had been beaten into a pig's head, and shouted sternly.

The reason why this person became like this was not because he was beaten by the people in the Governor's Mansion, but because he was taught a lesson by Hu Fei's people when he was arrested.

This is also what Hu Fei meant.

As Li Wenzhong finished speaking, the person in charge of the private mine did not deny it at all, and immediately told everything about how Xiong Yi found him and secretly colluded with him to open the private mine.

Xiong Yi knelt aside, his face turning pale as he listened to his companion's words that betrayed him.

After a long time, Li Wenzhong listened to all the confessions and looked at Xiong Yi coldly, his eyes full of anger.

"Xiong Yi is so bold and the evidence is conclusive that he is suspected of engaging in malpractice for personal gain. He should be detained immediately and awaiting disposal!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Wenzhong waved his hand and shouted sternly.

As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately agreed and escorted the two people kneeling on the ground out.

"Captain, please spare my life! I know I was wrong!"

"Jiu'an Hou! Hu Fei! Even if I act like a ghost, I won't let you go..."

Xiong Yi struggled and roared desperately, and was quickly taken out.

Listening to Xiong Yi's last roar, Li Wenzhong frowned. Although he didn't want to admit it, without Hu Fei's intervention, this matter would not have come to light so quickly. He didn't know that he would still be kept in the dark.

how long.

"Someone, prepare a car!"

Thinking of this, Li Wenzhong sighed secretly, said loudly, then stood up and walked out quickly.

After such a big thing happened, he must immediately go to the palace to report all this to His Majesty, and beg His Majesty's forgiveness for his lax discipline towards his subordinates.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Your Majesty, the Governor is outside seeking an audience."

Pang Yuhai quickly walked into the hall and said respectfully.

"Oh? Why is he here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and muttered to himself doubtfully. He was holding a poem post in his hand. On it was the poem that Hu Fei had copied and sent to Princess Anqing on his wedding day.

"It's not clear yet, but judging from the look on the Governor's face, it seems something serious has happened."

Pang Yuhai hesitated for a moment and said with a serious expression.

"Let him in!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said in a deep voice.

Pang Yuhai agreed and immediately walked out of the hall quickly.

Soon, Grand Governor Li Wenzhong walked quickly into the hall accompanied by Pang Yuhai.

"My son, please see your father!"

Li Wenzhong walked closer, bowed respectfully, and said loudly.

"No need to pay tribute."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, waved his hand and said.

But after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Li Wenzhong did not get up immediately. He still knelt on the ground with his head lowered and his face full of self-blame.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Pang Yuhai subconsciously and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Wenzhong kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to my father, my son is not able to control his subordinates well. I beg my father to punish me!"

Li Wenzhong cupped his hands and said respectfully.

After listening to Li Wenzhong's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was confused, and the doubts on his face became more obvious.

"what is going on?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Wenzhong and asked dissatisfied.

"To inform my father, I have found out that Sima Xiong Yi of the Governor's Office embezzled military gifts, opened private mines without authorization, and fabricated ordnance. The evidence is conclusive."

"Such a major case is all due to my poor supervision. I am ashamed of my father!"

Li Wenzhong said with a bitter face and blame himself.

"What?!"

"That's unreasonable!"

After hearing Li Wenzhong's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the couch as a conditioned reflex, his face changed drastically, ranging from shock to anger.

Seeing the angry and shocked Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Wenzhong hurriedly lowered his head, his face full of self-blame.

Pang Yuhai on the side could not help but shrink his neck, lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Wenzhong to explain the ins and outs of the matter in detail.

After listening to Li Wenzhong's story, Zhu Yuanzhang paced back and forth, then hesitantly sat down again.

"Now that the matter has been found out, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Fortunately, you discovered it in time and it didn't lead to unpredictable consequences."

"Xiong Yi is so bold that he should be executed immediately! The whole family will be executed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and said coldly.

"My son, I obey!"

Li Wenzhong shrank his neck and hurriedly answered with his hands raised.

"Okay, get up. I forgive you for your fault."
