Chapter 402: Turnaround(1/2)
Outside the palace gate.
Jinyi Health Center.
Seeing that Hu Fei did not blame his subordinates for Guo Heng's death in prison, and even took everything for granted, Wu Yong's face became more and more ugly, and he was about to have an attack.
"Commander, what you just said was so irresponsible, wasn't it?!"
"The man died in your Jinyi Guard Prison, shouldn't you give me an explanation?! You couldn't have killed him, right?!"
Before Wu Yong could get angry, the confidant standing next to Wu Yong suddenly pointed at Hu Fei and asked loudly and excitedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Fei and Wu Yong changed their expressions at the same time!
"Pan Fu!"
Wu Yong felt nervous and hurriedly shouted in a low voice, trying to stop his men from being reckless.
But just as he finished speaking, a figure rushed out like lightning, and instantly came to Wu Yong's subordinate named Pan Fu, with a short knife already placed on his neck!
The person who took action was Chundie!
"Commander, this boy is young, reckless and has no rules. It's all because of the inability of his subordinates to control him. Commander, please calm down!"
When Wu Yong saw something was wrong, he hurriedly raised his hands and said loudly.
Hu Fei ignored Wu Yong and stared straight at Pan Fu, who was being held by Chun Die with a knife. His eyes were cold and revealed a hint of murderous intent.
"No wonder Master Wu has such great official power. It turns out that even a mere subordinate is so arrogant."
"No one in this capital dares to talk to me like this! Today is an eye-opener for me."
"Who taught you what you said just now? I can't tell you whether to kill Guo Heng or not, but do you believe it or not, if I kill you now, no one can seek justice for you?"
Hu Fei sneered, stared into Pan Fu's eyes, and asked lightly.
Following the words, the knife in Chundie's hand became stronger, and the blade had already cut the skin on Pan Fu's neck.
"Master Commander, it's all the fault of this subordinate and has nothing to do with him. Please be kind and spare him!"
"The investigation of Guo Heng's case was reaching a critical moment, but unexpectedly the main criminal Guo Heng committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime. The subordinate was anxious and confused for a moment. This man was also reckless because of his concern for the subordinate, and he collided with the commander. It was not
Raise troops to investigate!"
Wu Yong looked anxious, raised his hands and said respectfully.
At this time, Pan Fu's face was already pale, his eyes were full of fear, and he did not dare to say another word.
"Does Mr. Wu really think that Guo Heng committed suicide out of fear of crime?"
Hu Fei turned to look at Wu Yong, smiled, and asked lightly.
"Based on the situation on site, it is indeed the case!"
Wu Yong nodded hurriedly and answered affirmatively.
"Let me just say, he must have known that he had sinned deeply, so he wanted to die to apologize to His Majesty, hoping to be forgiven."
Hu Fei nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.
"That's what the commander said."
Wu Yong nodded and agreed.
"Spring Butterfly!"
Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei shouted softly, then continued to lower his head and drink tea.
Hearing Hu Fei's words, Chundie slowly put away the knife and returned to Hu Fei's side.
"Commander, since Guo Heng is dead, I won't bother you anymore and will leave first."
Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said slowly.
"Okay, if Mr. Wu needs any help in the future, just come to me."
Hu Fei nodded and said with a smile.
Wu Yong agreed and immediately left the Jinyi Guardhouse with his men.
As Wu Yong left, the smile on Hu Fei's face gradually disappeared, and he frowned slightly.
The key clue has been broken, and he hopes that this matter will be over soon. However, although he has only met Wu Yong twice, he feels that Wu Yong is not a person who gives up easily.
"Commander, Guo Heng is dead, what should I do with his body?"
Mu Ping hesitated for a moment, stood up, raised his hands and asked.
"The person is dead and has no further use. Send someone back to the Guo Mansion."
Hu Fei paused and said calmly.
"yes."
Mu Ping agreed and immediately turned around and left.
Hu Fei sat on a chair, drinking tea and lost in thought again.
...
East Palace.
In the main hall.
Xiao Qi quickly walked into the hall and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, Guo Heng is dead."
Xiao Qi cupped his hands and said respectfully.
"knew."
Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Zhu Biao frowned slightly and responded thoughtfully.
"But Wu Yong seemed to have noticed something. When he left the Jinyi Guardhouse, the look on his face was not good-looking. It seemed that he had no intention of giving up."
Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment and continued to add.
"If he really gave up so easily, I wouldn't be so worried."
Zhu Biao frowned, sighed, and said slowly.
"Then what should we do next? If this case is really fully exposed, will there really be turmoil between the government and the opposition as Marquis Jiu'an said?"
Xiao Qi also frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. If this case really involves too many people, the consequences will be unimaginable. What I am most worried about is that my father will be angry and bring everyone involved in this case to justice. By then, I am afraid that
A lot of people are going to suffer."
Zhu Biao shook his head helplessly and said slowly.
"Can Hu Fei really stop Wu Yong from continuing the investigation?"
Xiao Qi asked uncertainly.
"The matter has reached this point. We can only wait and see. There is no other way."
Zhu Biao shook his head and murmured to himself.
Xiao Qi cupped his hands, said nothing more, and slowly stepped back.
"etc!"
But just when Xiao Qi was about to exit the hall, Zhu Biao spoke again.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xiao Qi stopped, cupped his hands, and looked at Zhu Biao doubtfully.
"Although I can't personally stop this case, I can help Hu Fei. Go to the Criminal Trial Division and inquire about the progress of the case."
"By the way, I would like to tell Wu Yong that, like my father, I am very concerned about the progress of this case and hope that he will go all out. The entire Ming Dynasty is watching him."
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and said thoughtfully.
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the prince meant, but he still respectfully agreed, exited the hall, and immediately went to the Interrogation Department.
...
Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the study room in the front yard.
Hu Fei and Hu Weiyong sat next to each other, each sipping fragrant tea from their cups.
Not long ago, Hu Fei mentioned to Princess Anqing that he had to find time to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion to live for a while. After all, Hu Weiyong was the only one left except him.
From the fact that Hu Weiyong ran to the princess's mansion whenever he had something to do, we can know that since Hu Fei moved out of the prime minister's mansion, Hu Weiyong felt lonely as never before.
Therefore, Hu Fei took Princess Anqing back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past two days and moved into Linglong Garden.
"Thank you for being able to think of staying home for a few days. I thought you had forgotten your origins after becoming the consort."
While drinking tea, Hu Weiyong glanced at Hu Fei and said slowly.
To be continued...
