Prime Minister's Mansion.

study.

After Hu Fei's instruction, Chundie brought Xiao Qi to the study.

"I've seen Hu Xiang!"

"I've met Hou Jiu'an!"

Xiao Qi stepped into the study, bowed his hands to Hu Weiyong and Hu Fei, and greeted them respectfully.

"Commander Xiao came here unexpectedly. Does His Highness the Crown Prince have any orders?"

Hu Fei looked at Xiao Qi and asked lightly.

"That's right, His Highness the Crown Prince sent his general to tell Marquis Jiu'an something."

Xiao Qi nodded and answered slowly.

"Since the prince has something to convey to you, I will leave first and you can chat."

Hu Weiyong hesitated for a moment, then stood up and prepared to leave the study as he spoke.

"There is no need for Mr. Hu to leave. Mr. Hu had better listen to this matter."

Seeing that Hu Weiyong wanted to avoid him, Xiao Qi hurriedly said.

Hu Weiyong paused, nodded, and sat back again.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Hu Fei looked at Xiao Qi and asked slowly.

"Wu Yong, the head of the Criminal Trial Department, has gone to the palace to see His Majesty today. Guo Heng's case has been closed."

"However, the accomplices Li Yu, the envoy of the Beiping Chengxuan, and Zhao Quande, the envoy of the Provincial Procuratorate, have fled Peiping and entered the northern border. They may have defected to the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"So His Majesty decided to send people to Beiyuan to arrest these two people."

Xiao Qi looked at Hu Fei and said clearly.

"So the candidate to go to Beiyuan is me?"

After listening to Xiao Qi's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but frown and asked lightly.

After hearing this, Hu Weiyong on the side was stunned for a moment, with a worried look on his face.

"Exactly."

"After the prince knew about this, he immediately ordered me to come and tell Marquis Jiu'an."

"Tomorrow at the latest, His Majesty will summon Marquis Jiu'an to the palace to explain the matter. His Royal Highness hopes that Marquis Jiu'an will find a way to refuse."

Xiao Qi nodded and said seriously.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants me to disobey the decree."

Hu Fei smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"Jiu'an Hou must be careful, the northern border is too dangerous, and His Highness the Crown Prince is also worried about Jiu'an Hou's safety."

Xiao Qi quickly raised his hands and said seriously.

"I understand, it's just a joke."

"Commander Xiao, please go back and tell His Highness the Crown Prince that Hu Fei would like to thank him for his kindness."

Hu Fei smiled, cupped his hands and said.

"must."

"In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell Marquis Jiu'an that His Majesty has promised not to implicate the Guo family. However, although they were exempted from the death penalty, they could only be sent to the frontier in the end. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has tried his best."

Xiao Qi nodded and said.

"It's hard-earned to be able to save a life. Thank you, Your Highness, for me."

Hu Fei shook his head and said sincerely.

In fact, he was not completely confident that he could save the lives of Guo Heng's family. Such a result was already overjoyed.

Immediately, Xiao Qi said goodbye to Hu Fei and Hu Weiyong, left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and returned to the palace to resume his duties.

"what do you think?"

After Xiao Qi left, Hu Weiyong turned to look at Hu Fei and asked solemnly.

"What else can you think about? It's hard to disobey the emperor's order. Since His Majesty asked me to go, I can only go."

Hu Fei smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"No, it's too dangerous! Chunqiu Hall is trying every possible means to kill you. If you really go, the fate will be unpredictable!"

Hu Weiyong shook his head and said in a deep voice, his eyes full of worry.

"Do you think His Majesty doesn't know this?"

Hu Fei looked at Hu Weiyong and asked with a smile.

"this…"

Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment and was speechless for a moment.

"If my guess is correct, he is looking for an opportunity to test me, and it is a test, so I have to go."

"As long as you pass this test, Your Majesty will definitely trust me more in the future."

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment and said thoughtfully.

"But what if something goes wrong?"

Hu Weiyong was still worried and said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm not going alone. Besides, if you are really in danger, just run away if you can't fight. There is still a chance to save your life."

Hu Fei smiled and said with an indifferent expression.

Although he knew that this business must be full of risks, he also knew that he had to go. Since Guo Heng was dead, he should go and explain everything to Zhu Di.

Moreover, he also needs this opportunity for experience. There is nothing more important than gaining Zhu Yuanzhang's trust.

"Okay, now that you have made your decision, I won't say anything more. Everything is adaptable, and life is the most important thing!"

Hu Weiyong shook his head helplessly and said seriously.

"Do not worry."

Hu Fei nodded, smiled and replied.

It has been a year since he was trapped in the capital, and it was time for him to go out and see the outside world.

Moreover, this was also an opportunity for him to secretly meet with the remaining six envoys who had accepted the government.

…

The next day.

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Your Majesty, Jiu'an has arrived."

Pang Yuhai quickly walked into the hall and said respectfully.

"Please!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said hurriedly.

Soon, Hu Fei followed Pang Yuhai into the main hall.

"My son, please see your father!"

Hu Fei walked closer, bowed respectfully, and said loudly.

"Get up quickly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up in a hurry and walked quickly to Hu Fei. As he spoke, he helped Hu Fei up from the ground with a smile on his face.

Hu Fei also smiled and stood up slowly.

"Come on, come on, sit down."

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he led Hu Fei and sat on the couch beside him.

"Father seems to be in a good mood."

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a smile.

"That's natural!"

"The Guo Heng case has been concluded. Although the result made me very angry and shocked, fortunately the truth has been revealed and everyone has been punished."

"Speaking of which, all of this must be attributed to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have helped the court detect such a big corruption case. You have made another great contribution! I don't even know what to reward you."
