Outside the palace gate.

Jinyi Health Center.

Hu Fei was sitting in his office with a solemn expression.

After coming out of the palace, he returned to the guardhouse, but his mind was still thinking about what happened in the Yangxin Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang had known for a long time that he had sent people to leave Beijing, which made him feel a little afraid.

However, he knew that Han Jiang must have secretly reported these things to Zhu Yuanzhang, and no one else.

Thinking of this, his murderous intention towards Han Jiang became stronger and stronger.

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

But he couldn't, because if Han Jiang died now, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely suspect that he did it, so he could only wait for the best time to appear, to make everything seem reasonable, and not to stay.

Any handle.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Mu Ping slowly came to the door of the workplace.

"Commander, are you looking for me?"

Mu Ping bowed respectfully and asked slowly.

"Pei Jie has left Beijing. From today on, you will be responsible for secretly monitoring Guo Heng and watching his every move."

Hu Fei came back to his senses, looked up at Mu Ping, and said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

Mu Ping agreed and immediately took the people away.

Hu Fei sat on the chair, squinted his eyes, and thought about whether his choice to expose Guo Heng's corruption was the right one. If he had not done so, he might not have aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's possible suspicion.

But the matter has come to this point, and he can only continue to investigate. Everything has been said. If no evidence can be found, then he will not be able to explain to Zhu Yuanzhang.

He is now riding a tiger with difficulty.

...

Seven days later.

North Street.

Silver Bird Restaurant.

As a carriage slowly stopped, Hu Fei, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, slowly walked out of the carriage, took a look at the restaurant, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, jumped out of the carriage, and walked straight inside.

At the same time, Mu Ping had led dozens of royal guards to hide in the dark alleys around the restaurant.

The only one who accompanied Hu Fei was Chundie.

"Master Jiu?! You are here!"

As soon as Hu Fei entered the restaurant, even though he was wearing a bamboo hat, he was spotted by the restaurant owner Qian Ju.

I saw Qian Ju with a big belly, exclaimed in surprise, and came forward with a flattering face.

"Shut up! Don't make any noise!"

Hu Fei's face darkened, he pressed his hat and shouted in a low voice.

Qian Ju was stunned for a moment and quickly closed his mouth, not knowing what happened.

"Where is Guo Heng?"

Hu Fei glanced around and asked in a deep voice.

In order to deceive others and avoid alerting Guo Heng, he deliberately did not wear official uniform, and also asked Chundie to find a bamboo hat. Otherwise, once he appeared in the restaurant in a swaggering manner, it would definitely cause a commotion and alert Guo Heng who was hiding in the restaurant.

"Shilang Guo? In...in the box number A on the third floor..."

Qian Ju hesitated for a moment, pointed upstairs, and said cautiously.

Although he didn't know what happened, seeing Hu Fei's cautious look, he couldn't help but lower his voice and became a little sneaky.

"Take me to the box next to him!"

Hu Fei narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"But there is a guest in the B-size box...Okay, come with me!"

Qian Ju was stunned for a moment. He was about to say that there were already guests in the B-size box, but after seeing Hu Fei's sharp eyes, he immediately changed his mind.

Hu Fei then followed Qian Ju to the third floor. After Qian Ju found a way to clear the place, he entered the box number B, which was only separated by a wall from the box where Guo Heng was.

After entering the box, Hu Fei asked Qian Ju to leave and ordered Qian Ju not to receive any more guests on the third floor before he left.

Sitting in the box, Hu Fei listened intently to what was going on next door, without any expression on his face.

When he came in just now, he had noticed that at the door of the box number A, there were two young men with knives guarding there. They should be Guo Heng's entourage.

"Is there a problem?"

Hu Fei turned his head and glanced at Chundie standing next to him, and asked lightly.

"Just a third-rate thug."

Chundie nodded and replied softly.

Hearing Chundie's answer, Hu Fei curled up his lips and revealed a sneer.

At this time, there were three people sitting in the box number A. The first one was Guo Heng, the Minister of Household Affairs.

The other two are middle-aged men dressed as businessmen. One is fat and the other is thin. They are very respectful to Guo Heng.

"You two have come a long way. It's been a hard journey. Come, have a drink!"

"Although the wine at Yinque Restaurant is not as good as that at Hong Bin Restaurant, it is still considered top-grade among the capital's winemakers and tastes good."

Guo Heng looked at the other two people, picked up the wine glass, said with a smile, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

"The wine at Hongbinlou is indeed one of the best in the world. I drank it several times when I was in Peiping. However, the Hongbinlou semicolon in Peking is still slightly inferior to the one in the capital."

"When I passed by the door today, I saw with my own eyes the grandeur of Hong Bin Tower, especially the five characters on the first floor of the building given by His Majesty himself. It is indeed magnificent."

After listening to Guo Heng's words, the slightly fat middle-aged man nodded and said with some emotion.

"That's right, if it weren't for the plaque of the No. 1 Building in the World given by His Majesty, perhaps the Hong Bin Building would not be popular all over the country. Who would have thought that a man who was once despised by everyone would now sit all the way to the position of Commander of the Imperial Guards?

In the envoy’s seat?”

Guo Heng smiled and said with the same emotion, but there seemed to be a little jealousy and unwillingness in his words.

"I have heard of the name Jiu'an Hou for a long time, but unfortunately I have never been lucky enough to meet him. I wonder what kind of person this person is? Could it be that he has three heads and six arms? Otherwise, how could he be so versatile?"

Another middle-aged man who was slightly thinner couldn't help but said, with a glint in his eyes.

"Don't ever have such thoughts. He is a person you can't get involved with! Especially since there are such ulterior things between you and me, it's best to stay away from him!"

"Even Wei Guogong can't do anything to him, which shows this man's ability. If he discovers what happened between us, God will not be able to save you!"

Guo Heng frowned, looked at the thin middle-aged man, and said in a deep voice.

After hearing Guo Heng's words, the two men hurriedly shut their mouths and did not dare to mention the word "Hu Fei" again.

"Where's the stuff?"

Guo Heng glanced at the door, leaned forward, and asked in a lowered voice.

After hearing Guo Heng's words, the two men looked at each other, each took out an envelope from their arms and handed it to Guo Heng respectfully.

Guo Heng's eyes lit up and he hurriedly took it and opened the envelope eagerly. Inside was a piece of paper with two detailed lists, one about money and one about food.

Seeing the rows of numbers on the list, Guo Heng laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

"According to the previous agreement, the prepared silver has been handed over to Madam, and it should have almost arrived at your house by now."

The slightly fat middle-aged man smiled and said slowly.

"The grains listed in the list have also been stored in secret warehouses in various places. The quantities have been confirmed to be correct. Your Excellency, the Minister, will send someone to check in the near future."

The thin middle-aged man then followed suit.

"good very good!"

Guo Heng nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile on his face.

Immediately, Guo Heng closed the list, put the envelope back, then took out a fire folder from his arms, blew it hard, and the flames ignited instantly, and then reached for the envelope in his other hand.

.

But at this critical moment, there was a sudden sound of piercing the air, and a black dot instantly penetrated the paper on the door, shot in, and hit the fire stick in Guo Heng's hand, directly burning it.

The fire broke out and the child was cut into two pieces!

"who?!"

Immediately afterwards, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door, and then there was the sound of fighting!

After two sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, the door became quiet again.

The faces of the three people sitting in the box changed drastically. They looked at the door in surprise and were at a loss.

Guo Heng glanced at the ground beside him and realized that what just flew in from the door was a copper coin. Someone used the copper coin to extinguish his fire through the door!

Immediately afterwards, Guo Heng realized something was wrong, picked up the half of the fire fold that had fallen on the ground and was not completely extinguished, and continued to blow it hard, intending to continue to destroy the envelope in his hand.

But it was too late. Before Guo Heng could show off his skills, the door of the box was kicked open from the outside, and then a man and a woman appeared at the door.

The man wears a bamboo hat and the woman has a cold eyebrow.

It was Hu Fei and Chun Die...
