North Street.

Silver Bird Restaurant.

Box A on the third floor.

As the door was kicked open, the three people in the box trembled at the same time, and then they saw that the two men guarding the door had fallen straight to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them saw Chundie rushing into the box like lightning, and instantly snatched the two envelopes from Guo Heng's hand!

"Who dares to be so bold! To commit murder here in broad daylight!? Do you know who I am?!"

Guo Heng's face changed drastically, he stared at Chundie hysterically, and asked sternly.

But Chundie ignored Guo Heng at all, standing aside and looking at the three people present coldly, her eyes full of murderous intent.

At this moment, Hu Fei, who was standing outside the door, slowly walked into the box. Although his head was slightly lowered, you could still see a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Guo Heng pointed a finger at Hu Fei and asked sternly, his face full of anger.

But when he finished asking this question, he was suddenly stunned because he saw the red handle and red sheath knife in Hu Fei's hand!

Although he is not good at martial arts, he has heard that Hu Fei has a sword named Jiu Qianhan. Everyone in the capital city knows what Jiu Qianhan looks like!

At this moment, Guo Heng's heart was filled with fear, and his face instantly turned as pale as snow!

Hu Fei walked closer, slowly took off his bamboo hat, raised his head, and looked at the three people in the box. The sneer on the corner of his mouth became more and more terrifying.

"Who the hell are you?!"

The slightly fat middle-aged man also stood up, glanced at the envelope in Chundie's hand, and asked angrily.

On the side, Guo Heng had already slumped down in his chair, with a look of despair and regret in his eyes.

"Shilang Guo, you hide so deeply. I have spent so much time trying to find you."

Hu Fei looked at Guo Heng, shook his head and said with a smile.

Guo Heng looked at Hu Fei desperately, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Shilang Guo, do you know this person?!"

The other two people turned to look at Guo Heng and asked in surprise.

"Didn't you just say that you wanted to see the face of Lord Jiu'an? This is the one standing in front of you!"

Guo Heng said with a bitter look on his face.

"ah?!"

After hearing Guo Heng's words, the two men were shocked at the same time. They looked at Hu Fei in horror, with expressions of bewilderment on their faces.

"Really? You two have always wanted to make friends with me? What a coincidence."

"I'm Hu Fei, Hu Fei who behaves recklessly, Fei who behaves recklessly."

Hu Fei smiled, turned around and looked at two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, he apologized and said with a smile.

After listening to Hu Fei's self-introduction, the two middle-aged men, like Guo Heng, all looked ashen, their feet softened, and they fell down on the chairs.

Hu Fei curled his lips, slowly sat across from the three of them, and poured himself a glass of wine nonchalantly.

Chundie stepped forward and respectfully placed the two envelopes in her hands on the table in front of Hu Fei.

Guo Heng and the others looked at the envelope and wanted to rush up and snatch it away immediately.

"Although the wine is good, the banquet is not good. It turns out that Minister Guo prefers the wine here."

Hu Fei raised his head, drank the wine in the glass, and said calmly.

Immediately, Hu Fei made a cold sound, slowly opened the envelope, and took a look at the two detailed lists.

"If my guess is correct, these two lists should be the details of the taxes and grain levies you have collected, right?"

Hu Fei raised his head, looked at the three of them, and asked calmly.

Hearing Hu Fei's words, Guo Heng and the others were shocked again. They looked at Hu Fei in disbelief with dull expressions.

They didn't expect that Hu Fei had already seen everything and had been lurking here beforehand.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Mu Ping rushed into the restaurant with dozens of royal guards and sealed the restaurant completely.

"Under the emperor's feet, you know the law and break it. Guo Heng, how brave are you!?"

Hu Fei suddenly slammed the table hard and shouted sternly.

Guo Heng's figure was shaken and he suddenly fell to the ground, his face full of fear.

"If my guess is correct, you should be Lu Tong, the magistrate of Taiping Prefecture, right? As for you, you should be Chen Xu, the chief minister of Chengxuan City in Beiping, right?"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei looked up at the other two people, pointed at the slightly fat middle-aged man and the thin middle-aged man and said respectively.

When the two people heard Hu Fei announce his name, they were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground. They didn't know what to do and could only look at Guo Heng for help.

But Guo Heng is now unable to protect himself, so he can't take care of them.

"Master Commander, everything must be based on evidence. You can't just rely on the two pieces of paper in your hand to falsely accuse an official of corruption, right?"

Guo Heng gritted his teeth, mustered up his courage, looked at Hu Fei, and said tremblingly.

"You're still talking arrogantly when you're about to die? Do you think I'm not 100% sure that I will appear here?"

Hu Fei curled his lips and asked coldly.

Guo Heng trembled his lips and clenched his fists, trying to calm down the fear in his heart, straightening his chest and acting as if he had been wronged.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that my wife encountered some trouble on her way back to the capital from Minzhong Temple and was delayed for some time. I have already sent someone to escort her."

Hu Fei looked at Guo Heng, pretended to have a sudden realization, and said slowly.

Hearing Hu Fei's words, Guo Heng's pupils suddenly trembled and he was stunned for a moment.

"take away!"

Hu Fei sneered and shouted sharply.

As the words fell, Mu Ping immediately led people into the box, arrested the desperate three people, and escorted them out of the box.

With a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth, Hu Fei reached out and poured himself another glass. After taking a sip, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"I think the wine from Hong Binlou is better."

After the words fell, Hu Fei stood up slowly, put the two envelopes into his arms, turned around and left.

Chunde pursed his lips and smiled, silently following behind.

...

Guo Mansion.

Under the escort of more than a dozen imperial guards and dozens of attendants, two carriages slowly stopped in front of the mansion.

Before anyone could get off the bus, someone came quickly to greet him at the door of the house and stood respectfully next to the lead car.

Immediately afterwards, a graceful and luxurious woman slowly walked out of the carriage and slowly got out of the carriage with the help of the maid.

It is Mrs. Xue, the wife of Guo Heng, the Minister of Household Affairs.

"It's been a hard journey, ma'am!"

As Mr. Xue got out of the car, the servants who came out immediately bowed and saluted.

Mrs. Xue nodded and turned to look at the group of royal guards following the carriage.

"Thank you for your hard work, Governor Pei Zhen. If the master of the house is not around, I won't invite Governor Pei Zhen into the house to have tea."

Mrs. Xue bowed slightly and said with a smile.

The leader of the Jinyi guards who escorted Xue family back to his home was none other than Pei Jie, who had secretly returned to the capital!

"Mrs. Guo, you're welcome. There's no need to drink tea, but I see that she seems to have brought a lot of courtesy. Since she's already here, why not let my people help her carry her in."

Pei Jie smiled, glanced at the other carriage, and said slowly.

"No need!"

"Oh, Governor Pei Zhen has worked hard all the way, so I won't bother you anymore. Just let the servants in the mansion do it."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xue immediately shook his head and refused, then pointed to the servant next to him and said, hiding the panic on his face with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. The Commander-in-Chief has already issued an order to properly transport Madam back to the house safely. This amount of time will not be missed."

"But I don't know why Madam went to Minzhong Temple to pray for blessings and brought so many followers with her?"

Pei Jie smiled and asked slowly.

"Oh, after the incident at Jiming Mountain last time, the owner of the family was worried about my safety, so he sent some more people to escort me."

Xue hurriedly explained, but the panic on her face became more and more obvious.

"But as far as I know, Madam always brings so many people with her."

Pei Jie smiled and continued.

"this…"

After hearing what Pei Jie said, Mr. Xue was stunned for a moment, speechless and didn't know how to answer.

"It's okay. I'm just asking casually. Madam, don't be nervous."

"What are you doing in such a daze? Why don't you hurry up and help Madam carry all the boxes in the car?!"

Pei Jie put away his smile, turned to look at his men behind him, and said in a deep voice.

As the words fell, more than a dozen Jinyi guardsmen immediately took action, preparing to lift several boxes placed on the carriage behind.

Seeing this scene, Mrs.
