Chapter 40 For Yourself and the People(2/2)

The backyard of Hong Bin Building.

"Can I trust you?"

Hu Fei looked at Mu Ping in front of him and asked expressionlessly.

"Of course, young master, if you have anything to do, just ask me, and I will do my best!"

Mu Ping was stunned for a moment, looked at the suddenly serious Hu Fei, and answered affirmatively.

"I want you to go to Suzhou Mansion and do something for me. This matter is of great importance. You are not allowed to reveal a word to anyone, including Hu Weiyong!"

Hu Fei looked at Mu Ping and said seriously.

"...Yes! Let the young master do whatever you want!"

Mu Ping replied hesitantly.

"Go and help me investigate a person, the imperial censor Chen Ning. List all his criminal evidence in a book and bring it back to me. Hurry!"

Hu Fei looked at Mu Ping and said in a deep voice.

Mu Ping cupped his hands and answered immediately without any hesitation.

Watching Mu Ping go out, Hu Fei frowned slightly and felt heavy.

He has decided to get rid of Chen Ning, not only for Hu Weiyong, but also for himself.

When Chen Ning was in Suzhou Prefecture, he was very harsh in collecting taxes and often burned people with a hot iron. He did all kinds of evil things. The local officials and people suffered deeply from this, and they called him "Chen Hot Iron".

Moreover, according to historical records, Chen Ning was later imprisoned for making mistakes. Although Zhu Yuanzhang cherished him and finally released him, instead of being grateful, this man had second thoughts.

Such people will be a disaster sooner or later if they are kept around.

However, Hu Fei was not sure whether he was doing this for himself or for the people who had been bullied and abused by Chen Ning...
