Outside the palace gate.

Jinyi Health Center.

In prison.

Guo Heng looked at Hu Fei, who was confident and condescending. Although he knew that the Dongchuang incident had happened, he still didn't want to give up and was thinking about how to deal with it.

"Jinyiwei has been staring at you for a long time. I have to say that you have been hiding very well and have not revealed any clues."

"But your opponent this time is me. Unfortunately, since I have become my target, you have no chance of escaping unscathed."

"We have been secretly monitoring you, but we didn't expect that the person who has been helping you collect money is actually your lady who goes to Minzhong Temple to pray for blessings on the seventh day of August every year."

"What I didn't even expect is that you actually built an underground secret room in your own backyard and put all the greedy money in it. I don't know if you are too bold or too confident."

"Whether you admit it or not, you can't escape your crime. Don't forget, there are two other people who were arrested with you. I don't know if they are as tough-talking as you."

"Everyone will get the stolen goods. You have no chance to stand up again. If you know the truth, you will recruit them truthfully!"

Hu Fei looked at Guo Heng and said unhurriedly.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Guo Heng's face turned as white as snow and he stared at Hu Fei excitedly. Maybe he really didn't want to believe that he had fallen into this trap until his death.

"You are the only one who knows this now. I know you like money, and I have a lot of money. I can give it to you as much as you want! Those in the secret room are just the tip of the iceberg! I can satisfy you with whatever you want!"

"

Guo Heng hesitated for a while, then opened his arms almost crazily, looked at Hu Fei longingly and said with an excited expression.

"Hehehe, you are so brave. You dare to bribe the chief superintendent when you are about to die?!"

"I like money, but what I like is what I earn, not what others give me. The three melons and two dates you got by greedily risking your brains are not worth mentioning in my eyes!"

"In addition to the ones in the secret room, what you just mentioned should be referring to the autumn grains that you guys jointly collect every autumn, right?"

Hu Fei sneered and said disdainfully.

After hearing what Hu Fei said, Guo Heng was shocked and looked horrified again. He didn't expect that Hu Fei even knew about the autumn grain.

"It seems I was right. Do you think I don't know?"

"I tell you, I have mastered all your activities!"

"In the past few years, you have not only misappropriated taxes from Taiping Prefecture, Zhenjiang Prefecture and other places, but you have even made up lame excuses for taxation such as food money and sacred and Buddhist money. Your autumn grain has amounted to tens of millions of dan. Do you think this

Don’t you know?”

"A mere Minister of Household Affairs is so bold and greedy at the feet of the Emperor. If you don't die, God will not tolerate it! I can't even explain it to the people of the country!"

Hu Fei stared at Guo Heng, becoming more and more excited as he spoke. Finally, he couldn't help but stood up suddenly and pointed at Guo Heng with a face full of anger.

Guo Heng looked up at the condescending Hu Fei, his face full of despair and horror. He couldn't believe that Hu Fei had found out so much, as if he had watched him do those things with his own eyes.

"Plead guilty. As long as you write a confession in your own hand, admit that you were wrong, and ask for His Majesty's forgiveness, I will put an end to this matter and save the lives of your family members from being implicated in the Nine Clans!"

Hu Fei looked at Guo Heng, took a deep breath, and continued to speak.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Guo Heng sat on the ground blankly, countless images flashed through his mind, and finally nodded desperately.

"Okay, I plead guilty, I plead guilty..."

After a long time, Guo Heng finally gave up all resistance, nodded feebly, and murmured to himself.

"Chundie, bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Hu Fei turned his head and glanced at Chundie and said in a deep voice.

Chundie agreed and immediately turned around and left the cell.

"I hope this matter involves as little as possible. You should know how to do it."

Hu Fei looked at Guo Heng, hesitated for a moment, and said lightly.

"clear."

Guo Heng looked up at Hu Fei and nodded slowly.

Soon, Chundie returned to the cell with pen, ink, paper and inkstone and handed them to Guo Heng.

Guo Heng didn't hesitate any longer. He lay down on the cold ground and began to write down all his crimes one by one. Finally, he signed and secured the documents.

After Guo Heng finished writing, Chundie handed the confession letter into Hu Fei's hands.

Hu Fei read it carefully from beginning to end and nodded with satisfaction.

According to what he just reminded, Guo Heng's confession did not fully reveal all the crimes, and there were very few people involved. In addition to the money he gave to his family, the amount of money he embezzled was only one million.

Stone, almost a fraction of the real number.

However, Hu Fei didn't say much, because he just wanted to tell Zhu Yuanzhang that the Jinyi Guards had the ability to monitor hundreds of officials, and he didn't want to hurt his muscles and bones, or affect his whole body with one move.

There are too many people involved behind the Guo Heng case. If they are all revealed, who knows how many people will die, and the people will also suffer. That is not his original intention.

"Very good. After I report it to Your Majesty, I will inform you at that time. You don't have to be tried again. You can just end it in this cell."

Hu Fei glanced at the hopeless Guo Heng and spoke again.

"Don't forget what you promised me, to save the lives of my family!"

Guo Heng looked at Hu Fei and said with a slight pleading.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to them."

"By the way, which secret warehouse up here is the one million stones you mentioned?"

Hu Fei agreed, then took out the piece of paper from his arms that said that Pei Jie had found the secret warehouse where the grain requisition was stored, handed it to Guo Heng, and asked lightly.

Seeing the positions of the secret warehouses on the paper, Guo Heng felt terrified. He glanced at Hu Fei fearfully, and then circled two places on the paper with a pen.

Hu Fei glanced at the names of those two places, remembered them silently, and then put the paper back into his arms.

Finally, Hu Fei glanced at Guo Heng, no longer hesitated, put away the confession, turned around and left the cell.

Chundie called two of his men, collected pens, inks, papers and inkstones, moved the imperial chair out of the cell, and locked the cell door again.

After watching Hu Fei leave, Guo Heng raised his head and took a long breath, showing a desperate bitter smile.

The prison gate.

When Hu Fei walked out slowly, he found Han Jiang lingering at the door. Pei Jie and several of his men were blocking the door.

"Lord Commander."

Seeing Hu Fei coming out, Han Jiang took two steps forward to greet Hu Fei and bowed respectfully to Hu Fei.

"What's the matter?"

Hu Fei squinted his eyes, looked at Han Jiang, and asked lightly.

"I wonder if the commander has found anything from Guo Heng's body? Is there anything that requires my humble service?"

Han Jiang forced out a flattering smile, cupped his hands and asked.

"No need, it's over."

"Deputy Commander Han is not blaming me for taking your job, right?"

Hu Fei waved his hand and asked with a smile.

"How dare you, sir, you have misunderstood."

Han Jiang shook his head hurriedly and said.

"Since there is no such thing, then Deputy Commander Han should not interfere. This matter has been settled. I will go into the palace to report to His Majesty. You should just do what you should do!"

Hu Fei nodded and said in a deep voice. The smile on his face disappeared instantly. When he said "what should be done", his eyes turned cold for a moment.

"yes!"

Han Jiang bowed his hands and bowed, not daring to say anything more, turned around and left.

Looking at Han Jiang's leaving figure, Hu Fei narrowed his eyes, then turned to look at Pei Jie.

"The remaining two people will be left to you for interrogation. As long as they confess that Guo Heng colluded with Li Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, and Cao Yi, the political envoy of Taiping Prefecture, there is no need to delve into the rest.

"

Hu Fei looked at Pei Jie and said calmly.

"yes!"

Pei Jie bowed and replied respectfully.

"Remember, from now on, no one can approach Guo Heng without my permission!"

Hu Fei paused and warned again.

"clear!"

Pei Jie nodded heavily and replied in a deep voice.

Hu Fei said nothing more and walked straight out with Guo Heng's confession, heading straight to the palace.

As Guo Heng was arrested and the Guo Mansion was sealed, the news spread quickly, but for a while no one knew what Guo Heng had committed. They only knew that he was taken away by the Jin Yiwei.

This is the first time that the Jin Yiwei has been dispatched since its establishment. This sudden action cast a layer of gloom in the hearts of all officials in the court...
