A few days later, Hu Fei received news from someone sent by Tang Duo. After his efforts, Zhu Yuanzhang had agreed to the Ministry of War's purchase of the capital's noodles, and this time it was not just for the border, but for all armies of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Hu Fei did not expect that he simply wanted the people at the bottom to eat special delicacies that he could afford, but in the end, he opened up a way to make a fortune for himself.

So, Hu Fei quickly sent people to the factory that had already been built and was putting the production method of Jingshi noodles into production. Zihai hotpot and Jingshi noodles were produced at the same time.

Several consecutive big moves cost Hu Fei a lot of money. Although Hong Binlou was making money every day, it cost a lot of money to build the factory and put it into production. The Ministry of War had no reason to pay in advance, so

As a result, his money was a little tight now, so he planned to ask Hu Weiyong for some.

On this day, Hu Fei left Hongbin Tower early and took Pei Jie back to his mansion.

Hu Mansion.

Main entrance.

As soon as Hu Fei got off the carriage, he saw a middle-aged official walking out of the mansion.

The middle-aged man also saw Hu Fei, hesitated for a moment, stopped, and bowed to Hu Fei.

"I've met Mr. Hu."

The middle-aged man saluted and greeted him respectfully.

Hu Fei looked at the middle-aged man with confusion and stopped in his tracks.

Very few ministers from the DPRK and Central Government went to the mansion to meet with Hu Weiyong in private, so Hu Fei had no impression that he knew this person.

However, Hu Fei noticed a phenomenon. Both the Minister of War and the person in front of him were very respectful towards him, which was enough to show Hu Weiyong's status in the court.

If there was no Hu Weiyong, which court official would bow down to a dandy?

"Who are you?"

Hu Fei looked at the middle-aged man and asked calmly.

"Xiaguan Yushi doctor, Chen Ning."

The middle-aged man cupped his hands and replied with a smile.

Chen Ning?!

Hearing this name, Hu Fei frowned subconsciously, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Master Chen, walk slowly."

Hu Fei nodded, responded casually, stopped looking at Chen Ning, and walked straight to the house.

Seeing such arrogant Hu Fei, Chen Ning was obviously stunned for a moment. Seeing Hu Fei go straight into the house, Chen Ning, who was standing there, narrowed his eyes, glared at Hu Fei's back, and got on his carriage next to him.

Left Hu Mansion.

If you flatter a horse on the leg, you will not be in a good mood no matter what.

...

Hu Mansion.

The main hall in the front yard.

Hu Weiyong was sipping a cup of tea when he saw Hu Fei slowly walking over from a distance. After hesitating for a moment, he hid a trace of worry between his eyebrows.

Hu Fei walked into the main hall, gave a casual half salute to Hu Weiyong, and sat aside, minding his own business, leaning lazily on the chair.

"You are already a prominent figure in the capital city now, why are you still looking so undisciplined?!"

Hu Weiyong rolled his eyes at Hu Fei helplessly and said angrily.

"I can't help it. I'm used to being lax and can't pretend to be a gentleman. Besides, why should I carry it when I get home? Are you tired?"

Hu Fei smiled nonchalantly, picked up a cup of tea that the servant had just poured, and drank it in one gulp.

"Why are you back so early today? Why? Business at Hong Bin Building is not good today?"

Hu Weiyong shook his head, looked at Hu Fei, and asked strangely.

"That's great. I came back specifically to see you."

Hu Fei smiled and said.

"What are you looking for me for? Is there something wrong?"

Hu Weiyong raised his eyebrows and asked seriously.

"Let's not talk about this first. Let me ask you first, what is Chen Ning doing here?"

Hu Fei waved his hand, looked at Hu Weiyong and asked.

"Nothing, we just talked about some official business."

Hu Weiyong said vaguely, and the worry between his eyebrows flashed across his face again.

"Don't get too close to him. It's best to stay away from people like him."

Hu Fei shook his head and said in a deep voice.

Hearing Hu Fei's words, Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but frown.

"I don't need your advice when doing things."

Hu Weiyong said with a serious face.

"Do you know him as a person?"

Hu Fei looked at Hu Weiyong seriously and asked stiffly.

"That's natural! He has been an official in the court for many years, and among the same generation as Yushitai, he is pretty good."

Hu Weiyong nodded and replied affirmatively.

"Then have you ever heard of the nickname Chen Pintie?"

Hu Fei asked.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Hu Weiyong's expression changed and he was speechless.

"It seems that you have heard of it. Since you have heard of it, you should not have any contact with this person. Those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black."

Hu Fei looked at Hu Weiyong and said in a deep voice.

"That's all in the past, no need to mention it again! Besides, do you know why he came to see me in the mansion today?! That's because someone in Yushi Taichung wanted to use you to do business with the Ministry of War to impeach me, thinking that it was my fate

You made a lot of money for me! That’s why I came here to tell you!”

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei slightly angrily and said loudly.

"Based on this alone, this person shouldn't be so valued!"

"Are there many people who want to impeach you?! It's such a trivial matter. He can just send someone to deliver it to your house secretly. Why come to the door in broad daylight in person?!"

"Do you want others to see it on purpose, or do you just want to show your loyalty to you through this matter? You can tell at a glance that this person has evil intentions. Do you think he is really loyal to you? In fact, it is just because of the

I just want to take advantage of the cool weather and use your strength!"

"What would His Majesty think if he knew that you were so close to the people at Yushitai?!"

Hu Fei looked at Hu Weiyong and asked word for word.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Hu Weiyong stopped talking completely this time because he had nothing to say and he didn't think so deeply at all.

At this time, being directly pointed out by Hu Fei, I couldn't help but feel fearful.

"This person cannot be kept."

Looking at Hu Weiyong who didn't speak for a long time, Hu Fei said coldly.

"What are you going to do again?!"

Hu Weiyong was stunned and asked in surprise.

"You don't have to worry about it, but you'd better remember what I told you. No matter who in the court expresses loyalty to you, you can't believe it. Since ancient times, ministers are only loyal to the monarch. If you still want to

To preserve your position, it’s best to keep a low profile.”

As Hu Fei said this, he stood up and strode out.

"Don't mess around!"

Hu Weiyong frowned, looked at Hu Fei who was about to leave, and said loudly.

Hu Fei ignored it, let alone said what he wanted to do.

"Don't you still have something to talk to me about?"

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei who had walked out of the main hall, and remembered that Hu Fei had just said that he had something to do with him.

"There was indeed something wrong just now, but it's okay now."

"By the way, no matter who wants to impeach you based on my business dealings with the Ministry of War, don't stop them. If His Majesty asks, just defend yourself truthfully and don't respond in any other way!"

Hu Fei responded casually and left without looking back.

Hu Weiyong froze on his chair, his face solemn.
