Hu Mansion.

forecourt.

"When did this happen?!"

Hu Weiyong asked in a deep voice while walking quickly outside.

"Just now, someone came directly from the palace to take him away!"

Steward Qin Hai said anxiously while following Hu Weiyong's steps.

"Prepare the car! I'm going to the palace right now! See what's going on?!"

Hu Weiyong frowned and said in a deep voice as he walked.

Qin Hai agreed and was about to prepare the car when he saw Pei Jie rushing in from the gate.

"Master! Where are you going!?"

Pei Jie ran over and asked loudly.

"Didn't the young master be brought into the palace? I want to go into the palace to protect him!"

Hu Weiyong continued walking outside as he spoke.

"Master, the young master said, you can't go no matter what!"

But Pei Jie stopped directly in front of Hu Weiyong and said loudly.

"Presumptuous! What are you doing?!"

Hu Weiyong frowned and asked anxiously.

"Master, before he left, the young master specifically asked me to come back and inform you that you can't go no matter what. He can handle it on his own."

Pei Jie hurriedly explained.

After listening to Pei Jie's words, Hu Weiyong stopped and looked solemn in thought.

"He really said that?!"

Hu Weiyong asked hesitantly.

"These are the young master's exact words, word for word!"

Pei Jie replied affirmatively.

"But what happened?! Why did His Majesty suddenly summon you!?"

Hu Weiyong asked doubtfully.

This was the first time His Majesty summoned his son since he last saw him at Hong Bin Tower, and in such a hurry, he knew something must have happened.

"The young master today... led us to beat up the person who inspected the school... According to that person, he was a lieutenant in the school inspection..."

After hearing Hu Weiyong's question, Pei Jie looked solemn and answered in a low voice.

"What?!"

"Why is he so careful about food and not about beatings!? He actually beat up the school inspector again?!"

Hu Weiyong was surprised after hearing this and couldn't help asking loudly.

"That's right. Today, the Crown Prince went to Hong Bin Tower. Before leaving, the young master suddenly wanted to personally escort the Crown Prince back to the palace. However, before leaving, he ordered us to capture the prosecutor who was following the prince secretly and wait until the young master finished sending the prince off.

After His Highness came back, he beat those people, and... he beat them twice..."

Pei Jie said with a grimace and told what happened today from beginning to end.

"This bastard! He has to break the sky to be willing to do it!"

"No, I still have to go to the palace. If His Majesty becomes angry, he will be in trouble!"

Hu Weiyong complained that iron was not enough, and then continued to walk out.

"Master, the young master said that as long as you can hold on, he will be fine. Once you enter the palace, this matter will not end well! He said that he can definitely handle it. You should believe the young master!"

Pei Jie hurriedly blocked Hu Weiyong's path again and said loudly.

Hu Weiyong frowned and paced back and forth in the yard, the worry look on his face becoming more and more solemn.

At this point, he can only wait, hoping that his son can really resolve this crisis as he said.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Hu Fei, led by Pang Yuhai, slowly walked into the hall.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was staring at him with an angry face, a strange smile flashed across the corner of Hu Fei's mouth.

"See Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Hu Fei came closer, glanced at Mao Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang and his son, and said loudly.

When Zhu Biao waited for Hu Fei to look at him, he shook his head slightly and winked, and Hu Fei responded with a reassuring smile.

"Hu Fei! Do you know your guilt!?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Hu Fei and asked sharply.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what crime Hu Fei has committed?"

Hu Fei cupped his hands and asked slowly, without any panic on his face.

"You beat the school inspector twice, and you still don't know what crime you committed?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared and asked sharply.

"Back to Your Majesty, last time I didn't know that the person I was following was Jia Xiao. I mistook him for a thief, so I gave him a lesson. I didn't know he was Jia Xiao until today."

Hu Fei turned his head and glanced at Mao Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, and explained softly.

"Then since you already know their identities today, why do you take action again!?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked sharply.

Mao Xiang had explained what happened last time clearly and claimed that his identity had not been exposed. Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to make the matter a big deal, so he did not pursue the matter.

"I didn't know it at first. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Hong Bin Tower today and had a pleasant chat with me. However, before leaving, I found someone sneakily hiding in the dark. I thought it was an assassin who intended to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. So,

While I will personally escort His Royal Highness back to the palace, I will also send someone to secretly capture the assassin."

"The plan was to hand them over to the Capital Military and Horse Department after they were taught a lesson, but unexpectedly they announced their identities at this time and claimed that they were members of the school inspection team. After their identities were confirmed, they were beaten again."

Hu Fei raised his hands and spoke fluently.

Prince Zhu Biao, who was standing aside, heard that Hu Fei secretly sent someone to arrest the school inspector because he was worried about him. He couldn't help but show a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

"Since your identity has been confirmed, why do you need to call me again?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and continued to ask.

"First, they secretly followed His Royal Highness the Prince's carriage, threatening the safety of His Highness. Although they were inspectors, they acted too hastily and deserved to be beaten! Second, since they were inspectors, why did they not cover up their whereabouts and do it so easily?

Discovered by me? You should be beaten!"

"Thirdly, after being caught, they easily reveal their identity and even provide the inspection badge. This is a big mistake. If your Majesty asks them to supervise a minister in the DPRK and their identities are exposed every time, who else is there in the DPRK?

Are you willing to sincerely assist His Majesty? It is inevitable that there will be resentment in your heart, and it is even more important to fight!"

"To sum up, I have the courage to teach them a lesson for Your Majesty! If Your Majesty thinks I am wrong, you can punish me now!"

Hu Fei raised his head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said sternly.

After listening to Hu Fei's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang froze on the spot. Although he felt that everything Hu Fei said was reasonable, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He always felt that Hu Fei was arrogant and eloquent.

"Your Majesty, things are not what he said! He is targeting the inspection school and Your Majesty. Don't be deceived by him!"

Mao Xiang knelt on the ground in panic and begged.

"Captain Mao, everything Hu Fei said just now is reasonable. You have not refuted it, which means that you have already admitted those three mistakes. Since you have admitted them, why do you still have to argue?! What do you mean, my father is a person who doesn't know right from wrong?

Black and white, are you easily deceived by others?!"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Zhu Biao had already turned to look at Mao Xiang and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, I dare not! Your Majesty, forgive me!"

When Mao Xiang heard this, he trembled with fright and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"alright!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said something in a deep voice, glanced at Hu Fei, turned around and sat back on the dragon couch.

"Hu Fei has done meritorious service in protecting the crown prince, but beating the school inspector is inappropriate. The merits and demerits are equal to each other, and there is neither reward nor lack of reward!"

"The school inspector acted rashly, exposed his identity without authorization, and made a big mistake. Since he has already suffered, he will no longer pursue punishment. I hope you will wake up and won't do the same again!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"His Majesty..."
