East Palace.

In the main hall.

Prince Zhu Biao kept pacing, frowning in thought, thinking about a solution.

Now he no longer cares about the crime of deceiving the emperor that Hu Fei committed after making his own decision, because what Hu Fei said reminded him and made him realize the seriousness of the problem.

If it really causes officials in various places to suddenly lose too much, then the government in various places will definitely be paralyzed, and it may even trigger unnecessary unrest.

Therefore, the best way is to reduce big problems to small ones. Even if you have time to punish those people slowly in the future, you must not eradicate them in one fell swoop.

"Brother Emperor, can you think of a countermeasure?"

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Biao who was pacing silently and asked hesitantly.

He doesn't have much time to waste now. If he delays for a moment longer, the probability of the incident will be even greater.

"According to my understanding of Wu Yong, he is a ruthless person. Once he finds any clues, he will definitely pursue them to the end. No one can escape by then!"

"When my father handed this matter over to him, I'm afraid he has already made up his mind to follow the Guo Heng case to completely eliminate corruption in the officialdom! I'm afraid that in addition to the Guo Heng case, there will be more cases involved!"

Zhu Biao frowned and said thoughtfully, his face becoming more serious.

"If Brother Huang can't think of a solution for the time being, then I can only rely on my own way to solve it!"

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Don't mess around!"

"How do you want to solve it?!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he quickly looked up at Hu Fei and asked with a majestic look.

Compared to Wu Yong, he was more afraid of Hu Fei because Hu Fei was more courageous!

"Brother, don't worry, I won't do anything random."

"Before entering the palace to meet my father, I made Guo Heng promise that as long as he commits suicide in fear of crime, I can protect the lives of his family. If he dies, there may be a chance to cover up the case, which will at least give Wu Yong more opportunities to solve the case.

The difficulty makes it difficult for him to find out all the truth so easily."

"If that doesn't work, I will personally go to Wu Yong, explain the stakes to him, and prevent him from continuing to investigate. Whatever is discovered will be ignored!"

Hu Fei thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"You want to instigate Wu Yong to deceive the emperor with you?! What a nonsense! If Wu Yong refuses to listen and reports everything to his father, you will not be able to escape the blame! I can't protect you! You should know,

My father hates corruption the most in his life!"

After hearing Hu Fei's answer, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and said loudly.

"At this point, we can only take risks, unless the emperor has other ideas."

Hu Fei smiled bitterly, looked at Zhu Biao, and said helplessly.

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was speechless and frowned.

"Brother, don't worry. If the matter is exposed, I will never implicate you. Brother Huang never knew anything about it."

"But there is one thing I still hope that the emperor can help me with. Since I promised Guo Heng, I must keep my promise and save the lives of his family. Regardless of whether this thing can be done or not, if your majesty wants to destroy the Guo family by then, what else will you do?

I hope Brother Huang will do his best to preserve it!"

Hu Fei smiled, bowed his hands, and said respectfully.

"Don't worry, I promise you!"

"But you have to be careful not to get involved too deeply. Even if your father doesn't know about your efforts for the court, I will remember them and the court will remember them!"

"Also, Guo Heng belongs to King Yan. If you investigate him, even if this time can go smoothly, King Yan may come to you for explanation in the future, so be mentally prepared."

Zhu Biao nodded heavily and said seriously.

Hu Fei smiled, turned and left without saying anything else.

Zhu Biao watched Hu Fei walking out of the hall with a complicated expression.

...

Outside the palace gate.

Jinyi Health Center.

After Hu Fei left the palace, he returned directly to the guardhouse.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Pei Jie walking up to him quickly.

"Commander, the Criminal Division Wu Yong came here not long ago."

Pei Jie came closer, lowered his voice and said solemnly.

"Let's talk after we get in!"

Hu Fei frowned, said in a deep voice, and then walked straight to his office.

After returning to her workplace, Chundie hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Hu Fei and brought it to him.

"Tell me, what's going on?!"

Hu Fei asked while drinking tea.

"Not long ago, Wu Yong came to the health center with his men and said that he had taken full charge of Guo Heng's case and wanted to interrogate Guo Heng and take Guo Heng back to the Criminal Division for detention."

"You gave an order before you left that no one was allowed to approach Guo Heng without your permission, so I didn't let him take the person away."

Pei Jie replied solemnly.

"What did Wu Yong say?"

Hu Fei nodded and continued to ask.

"He stayed in the guardhouse and waited for almost a stick of incense, and finally left with the people. However, judging from his expression when he left, he seemed to be quite dissatisfied. He wouldn't tell His Majesty the matter in the palace, right?"

"Has His Majesty really handed this case over to the Criminal Division?"

Pei Jie frowned and asked solemnly.

"That's right."

"I didn't expect him to move so quickly. It seems Guo Heng can't stay."

Hu Fei nodded, narrowed his eyes, and said thoughtfully.

"Then what should we do next?"

Pei Jie asked worriedly.

"Send a message to Guo Heng, saying that His Majesty's family is no longer pursuing the case and it's time for him to hit the road."

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, clenched his fist and said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

Pei Jie agreed, immediately left his post and went straight to the prison.

Hu Fei's face was gloomy, and he was pacing while thinking about how to deal with it.

...

Prison.

In a dark cell.

Guo Heng leaned helplessly against the cold wall, with no expression on his face.

At this point, he knows that he can't survive, and the only thing he can't let go of is his family.

Hu Fei promised him to save the lives of his family, but he didn't know if Hu Fei was really a man of his word.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Pei Jie had slowly arrived outside the cell door.

Hearing the footsteps, Guo Heng slowly raised his head and looked at Pei Jie outside the door.

"Shilang Guo, the commander asked me to tell you that it's time for you to hit the road."

Pei Jie looked at Guo Heng and said slowly.

"Where is my family?"

Guo Heng stared at Pei Jie and asked word by word.

"The commander said that nothing will happen to your family."

Pei Jie nodded and said affirmatively.

"Okay, okay...okay!"

Guo Heng smiled bitterly, said hello three times in a row, and then began to take off his clothes, then tore the clothes into several pieces with force, and tied them together to make a cloth belt.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Heng slowly stood up with the cloth belt, tied the cloth belt to the cell fence on his tiptoes, and finally put it on his head and tied it in a tight knot.

"Tell Jiu'an Hou that if something happens to my family, I will not let him go even if I am a ghost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Heng suddenly lifted his feet off the ground and lay down hard, his whole body falling on the cloth belt!
