East Palace.

apse.

Prince Zhu Biaozheng plays chess with Prince Young Master Li Shanchang.

Although the two of them were joking, the chess game was filled with smoke and smoke.

At this moment, Xiao Qi, the commander of the East Palace guards, walked in quickly.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Prince, Duke of South Korea."

Xiao Qi bowed and said respectfully.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Biao asked slowly while looking at the chessboard.

"Reporting to Your Highness the Crown Prince, something happened in Hong Bin Tower today. People from the Military and Horse Department in the capital were drinking and causing trouble. They were beaten half to death by Hu Fei and thrown into the street."

Xiao Qi cupped his hands and said in a deep voice.

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Zhu Biao and Li Shanchang, who were playing chess, raised their heads almost at the same time and glanced at each other. They couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Xiao Qi, with a hint of surprise on their faces.

"For what reason?"

Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask.

"It is said that the two soldiers were wearing military uniforms and drinking inside. Maybe they drank too much and talked and behaved a bit too much. They happened to be seen by Song Shen, the grandson of Taishi Gong who came to taste the food, so they ridiculed them a few times.

In a sentence, the two soldiers took action and beat Song Shen out of anger."

"Hu Fei happened to return to Hong Bin Tower during the argument. He saw the two men trying to draw their swords, so he ordered the guards to take action. He also claimed that Hong Bin Tower belonged to His Majesty and that making trouble in Hong Bin Tower was to attack His Majesty.

Face. Moreover, the Army and Horse Department of the capital is responsible for the important task of guarding the capital. If you don’t take off your armor, you go to a restaurant to drink. It’s disrespectful and damages your majesty’s face.”

"Later, when I found out that Song Shen was the grandson of Duke Taishi, I ordered the two men to be beaten again. It was said that after beating the meritorious officials, the crime would be increased."

Xiao Qi told everything that happened in Hong Bin Tower.

"Hahaha, this kid is really a demon king. I remember that before the Tu Jie case last time, he had beaten someone from the Capital Military and Horse Department once in Hong Bin Tower."

"However, as a person from the Capital Army and Horses Division, he actually wore a military uniform and drank in a restaurant. He should indeed be beaten. I just don't know how the Capital City Army and Horses Division will go to His Majesty to complain this time."

Li Shanchang smiled and said slowly.

"Well played!"

Zhu Biao, who was sitting opposite Li Shanchang, also smiled and said loudly.

"This man has become more and more prominent recently, and he is famous in the capital. He always makes some noise. Your Highness, are you not afraid that he will do something too outrageous and make His Majesty unhappy and blame him?"

Li Shanchang asked with a smile.

He had long known that the prince had always wanted to conquer Hu Fei.

"No, regardless of the fact that those two people were drinking and making trouble in Hongbin Tower, which was a violation of military law. Just beating Song Shen was a big mistake. Although my master has resigned and returned to his hometown, his father was still in power when he was in court.

The emperor has always appreciated him so much, why would he allow his descendants to be bullied in the capital?"

"And I remember that Song Shen is currently on duty at the Hanlin Academy. Although his official rank is not high, if he beats the imperial officials, even if they are from the Army and Horses Division of the capital, His Majesty will not spare him lightly. If Luo Ping goes to the palace to complain, I am afraid he will commit suicide.

Asking for hardship."

Zhu Biao smiled and said thoughtfully.

Song Lian had the highest seniority among Zhu Biao's many teachers. Zhu Biao had always respected him very much, so his impression of Hu Fei was a little better at this time.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang promised to investigate Hu Fei last time, he has sent people to secretly monitor Hu Fei's every move, so if there is any trouble, the East Palace will receive the news immediately.

"Presumably Luo Ping has entered the palace by now, right?"

Li Shanchang nodded and said slowly.

"I know, you go down first."

Zhu Biao smiled, said one word, turned to look at Xiao Qi and said.

Xiao Qi bowed, turned around and retreated slowly.

Zhu Biao smiled and said nothing, and focused on the chessboard again, feeling very good.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Luo Ping, the commander of the Capital Army and Horses Division who was summoned to the palace, was already kneeling on the ground, not daring to express his anger.

After learning that his subordinates had been beaten in Hong Bin Tower, he was very angry and was about to go to the palace to file a complaint. However, before he could even step out of the gate of the Military and Horse Department of the capital, he received an imperial edict summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's gloomy face and swallowed back everything he said.

"Luo Ping! Do you know your guilt!?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon couch, stared at Luo Ping who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted sharply.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Luo Ping shrank his neck and trembled in fright.

"Your Majesty, it was Hu Fei who attacked the Army and Horse Department in the capital..."

Luo Ping lowered his head and replied in a low voice with a grimace.

He was a little confused, why did it sound like the wrong person was being beaten?

"Shouldn't we fight?!"

"As members of the capital's military division, those two men actually wore armor and drank alcohol. They even beat up the court official in full view of the public, and even threatened to smash the Hong Bin Tower!"

"Don't you know that I also gave a plaque to Hong Bin Tower?! Do you want to completely embarrass me?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Luo Ping and shouted sharply.

"this..."

"I dare not, please forgive me!"

When Luo Ping heard this, cold sweat instantly soaked his back, and he said in horror.

He originally wanted to defend himself, but then he realized the seriousness of the problem and turned pale with fear.

Looking at Luo Ping who was trembling with fear, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.

Unexpectedly, the Capital Military and Horse Division actually stumbled in front of Hu Fei twice, which was quite unlucky.

"What else can you say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Luo Ping, who had his head buried deeply, calmed down and said.

"The humble minister has no complaints and is at your Majesty's disposal."

Luo Ping lowered his head and said with fear.

"The two people who caused trouble should be dealt with according to military law. This matter has caused a big fuss. You need to go to Hong Bin Tower to apologize on their behalf and calm down the matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, this is the second time that Hu Fei has beaten the capital's military commander. Your Majesty, you still want me to come and apologize in person?"

Luo Ping raised his head and asked with a cry, his face full of grievances.

"Then it's not because of your lack of discipline?! You clearly know that that brat is not afraid of anything, but you still insist on letting your subordinates go to Hongbin Tower to cause trouble? There are so many restaurants in the capital. If they didn't have to go to Hongbin Tower, this matter wouldn't be possible.

It won’t cause uproar in the city!”

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted sharply.

He was so angry when this incident came out, but the incident had already occurred. If it was not settled as soon as possible, it would probably make Hu Xiang also dissatisfied.

And Song Lian, if that old man knew that his grandson was beaten in the capital, he would have to go to the palace to complain.

If we want to calm down the matter now, we have to appease Hu Fei first and don't let him cause a big problem.

"The humble minister obeys the decree."

Luo Ping knew he was wrong and could only compromise.

...

Hong Bin Building.

backyard.

After talking about ancient times and the present with Song Shen on the second floor of Hongbin Building for a long time, Hu Fei returned to his room with a thirsty mouth and prepared to rest for a while.

Fortunately, he had a lot of historical knowledge, otherwise he would have been timid in front of Song Shen. After some discussion, the grandson of the first civil servant who founded the Ming Dynasty had already expressed his admiration for him.

As soon as Hu Fei entered the door, he saw an extra person in the room.

Xiao An!

"How did you come?"

Seeing Xiao An wearing a black robe, Hu Fei frowned and asked in a deep voice.
