Hu Mansion.

Linglong Court.

study.

"Are you kidding? I am making a lot of money every day and my business is booming. How can I just stop?"

Hu Fei frowned and shook his head.

"With your intelligence, don't you know why I asked you to do this?!"

"Do you know that the school inspector has recently begun to spy on me secretly? Not only me, you must also have an informant from the school inspector!"

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei with a serious face and said seriously.

"Just monitor, just monitor. If you are upright, you are not afraid of a slanting shadow. You and I have no intention of treason, so what are we afraid of?"

Hu Fei curled his lips and said disdainfully.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you always tell me to keep a low profile in everything you do? But it's good for you. Now you are becoming more and more popular. If this continues, even if you and I have no intention of rebellion, His Majesty will be afraid of you!"

"If there are any more bad guys to provoke this, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Hu Weiyong stared at Hu Fei and said seriously.

He was a little confused and couldn't figure out why his always smart son became confused at this time.

But after hearing Hu Weiyong's words, a meaningful smile flashed across Hu Fei's face.

"Don't worry, I know it in my heart. As long as there is no evidence, Your Majesty will not do anything to me."

Hu Fei waved his hand and said seriously.

"Are you so sure?"

Hu Weiyong asked with a frown.

"Don't forget, how many people's deposits have been collected in Huifeng Bank now. Once something happens to me, Huifeng Bank will definitely be in chaos. If the bank is in chaos, how will the people's money be recovered? It's their wealth and life. Once

What will happen if I can’t get my money back?”

"The world will be in chaos when the time comes! And in the end, the people will blame all the blame on the imperial court. Your Majesty will definitely lose the support of the people because of this. This is the outcome your Majesty least wants to see."

"So I am sure that without real evidence, he will not touch me easily. Not only will he not touch me, he will not even let others touch me easily. So if anyone dares to jump out to deal with me at this time, it will be equivalent to dealing with His Majesty.

, the same as dealing with the people of Ming Dynasty!

Hu Fei looked at Hu Weiyong and said seriously, with a confident smile on his lips.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his son had already thought of this level. Such scheming was really unbelievable to him.

"Now that you have calculated everything, I can rest assured. However, I still want to remind you not to overdo anything. Once you touch His Majesty's bottom line, no one will be able to save you."

Hu Weiyong hesitated, looked at Hu Fei seriously and said.

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."

Hu Fei nodded.

Hu Weiyong said nothing more, turned around and left Linglong Garden hesitantly.

Looking at Hu Weiyong's slowly leaving figure, Hu Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seemed that this old boy had been following Zhu Yuanzhang for many years and had been worried a lot.

The following days were indeed as Hu Fei said, everything was safe and nothing happened.

Although he was followed by the inspector all day long, he did not restrain himself because of this. He was still the same as before, and he often brought some low-level officers and soldiers from the governor's house under the inspector's nose.

Afterwards, we went to Hongbin Tower to treat guests to dinner and mingle with each other.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Pang Yuhai slowly walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, Colonel Mao would like to see you."

Pang Yu saluted and said slowly.

After hearing Pang Yuhai's words, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his head and frowned.

"Let him in."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

Soon, Inspector Mao Xiang slowly walked into the hall under the leadership of Pang Yuhai.

"Slave Mao Xiang, please see Your Majesty!"

Mao Xiang came forward and knelt down respectfully to salute.

"Get flat."

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, motioned Mao Xiang to stand up, and asked with a solemn expression.

Mao Xiang was the person he sent to secretly monitor Hu Fei.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Hu Fei has frequently brought some low-ranking officers and soldiers from the Governor's Mansion to Hongbin Tower to hold banquets in recent days, and they have maintained close contact with each other."

Mao Xiang cupped his hands and said respectfully.

After hearing Mao Xiang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed drastically.

"Have you ever found out what they said?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it was just some pleasantries over wine, and no inappropriate remarks were heard."

Mao Xiang hesitated for a moment and answered slowly.

After listening to Mao Xiang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed deeper and his face was full of doubts.

"Is he trying to form a party?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, squinted his eyes, and murmured to himself, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Mao Xiang moved her lips but said nothing.

He originally wanted to echo a few words, or even follow the meaning of forming a party, but after several days of monitoring, he did not find any clues. Since he had suffered several losses from Hu Fei, he did not dare to make any judgments now.

"I understand, continue to monitor."

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands with a solemn expression and said.

Mao Xiang agreed, bowed respectfully, and slowly stepped back.

But Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the trestle, looked increasingly serious, with a hint of worry between his brows.

"Your Majesty, do you think Hu Fei is trying to win people's hearts and form a party?"

Pang Yuhai looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's increasingly solemn expression and asked hesitantly.

"I do have this concern."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said solemnly.

"But if he really plans to form a party, why is he so open and aboveboard? Without any evasion? Isn't he worried that His Majesty will know about it? No matter how courageous he is, he probably wouldn't dare to joke about such a thing, right?"

"And from what Colonel Mao said, he hired only low-ranking officers and soldiers from the Governor's Mansion. Even if they form a clique, how much trouble can it cause?"

"It may be true that he can win people's hearts. In the Governor's Mansion, he is only an eighth-grade Tōma. Although he has a superior status as the prime minister's son, there is no one who listens to his orders in the Governor's Mansion."

"And since he has always been domineering, there is inevitably a gap in his heart. He bribed some low-level officers and soldiers and asked them to fawn over him, so that he would not completely lose face."

"I wonder if what the old slave said makes sense?"

Pang Yuhai thought for a while and said slowly.

After listening to Pang Yuhai's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nodded and looked up at Pang Yuhai.

"If what you say really makes sense, it does make sense. It seems that I am worrying too much."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said thoughtfully.

Pang Yuhai couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang praising what he said was reasonable.

"In that case, let him go. But Wen Zhong must have known about this matter and sent someone to tell him not to interfere in this matter. Although I hope that he will check and balance Hu Fei, it is not easy to cause trouble.

Too stiff.”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, thought of something, and said slowly.

"The slave obeys the order."

Pang Yuhai agreed and slowly stepped back.

After what Pang Yuhai said just now, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became enlightened. Thinking of his previous worries, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
