Chapter 276: The Master Behind the Scenes(1/2)
Hu Mansion.
Front yard main hall.
Hu Weiyong and Hu Fei sat next to each other.
Seeing his son's thoughtful look, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but frown, feeling worried again.
"What's wrong? Is there anything unresolved?"
Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei and asked hesitantly.
"The reason why Your Majesty knew about this so quickly was because someone exposed it."
Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, took a sip of tea, and said calmly.
"What?!"
Hu Weiyong was obviously surprised when he heard his son's words, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"That is to say, there are other people who know that Mao Xiang secretly bribed Yun Qi to frame you. This person is probably the real mastermind behind the scenes!"
Hu Fei paused and continued.
"Han Jiang?!"
Hu Weiyong frowned and couldn't help blurting out.
"It wasn't him. If it were him, he wouldn't expose all this. He wouldn't be stupid enough to involve himself in order to deal with me. He is a smart man and would not be such an idiot."
Hu Fei shook his head and said affirmatively.
"Who could that be?! Is there anyone who has crossed the Han River to control the school? Mao Xiang is the captain of the school. Who dares to cross the Han River and subdue Mao Xiang without telling His Majesty?!"
Hu Weiyong looked puzzled and said in confusion.
"Maybe this person can give Mao Xiang more than Han Jiang, or maybe this person is someone Mao Xiang would not dare to offend anyway."
Hu Fei smiled and said thoughtfully.
Hu Weiyong frowned and began to guess who this person was. Several names flashed through his mind.
"In this case, Han Jiang can't stay! He knows too much. If one day he plots something evil, you will definitely be in trouble! You are different from His Highness the Crown Prince. No matter how big a mistake he makes, he will always be in the East Palace.
The Lord is protected by the Queen, but you are different."
"So, in order to avoid future troubles, Han Jiang must be eliminated!"
Hu Weiyong thought for a while and said decisively.
After hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"The sudden death of the commander of the school is more serious than the school's participation in the party struggle. If Han Jiang is really killed like this, the capital will be in chaos!"
"Moreover, if we are discovered by the enemy in the dark, we will only become more passive."
Hu Fei shook his head and said slowly.
"Even so, I will not hesitate to do anything! For your safety, even if the capital city is really disrupted, I will not hesitate!"
Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei and said seriously, with firm eyes.
Looking at the serious Hu Weiyong, Hu Fei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. From earlier, Hu Weiyong sent Xiao An to secretly protect him and ordered Xiao An to rescue him if he was in danger, and he would not hesitate to stain the palace with blood. Now he has made up his mind.
Wanting to kill Han Jiang to avoid future troubles showed the old man's preference for him.
Hu Fei was very grateful for this, and he rarely saw Hu Weiyong show such a decisive side.
If it weren't for these two things, he almost forgot that the person sitting in front of him was the prime minister of the dynasty who dared to confront Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Don't worry, I know in my heart that Han Jiang can't be killed, at least not now. I can still use him if I keep him."
Hu Fei hesitated for a moment and continued to persuade.
"Is there any use in keeping him? He is His Majesty's most loyal minion. Will he be used by you?"
Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment and asked slowly.
"He will."
"Although he is His Majesty's confidant, as long as he is human, he will be greedy, and his greed is his position as commander. For this position, he will do anything."
"With Mao Xiang's incident, his fatal weakness is already in my hands. However, I will not let him betray His Majesty. I am just preparing for the future."
"In recent years, he has been specially responsible for collecting foreign intelligence, mostly from barbarians and Beiyuan. Unlike other people in the inspection school, he may be useful in the future."
Hu Fei smiled and explained slowly.
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Hu Weiyong gradually understood and nodded hesitantly.
"But who is the person who exposed it? Is it you or His Royal Highness the person he wants to bring down?"
Hu Weiyong hesitated for a moment and said still worriedly.
Hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but squint his eyes, a light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he subconsciously thought of King Yan Zhu Di, but then he denied it from the bottom of his heart.
If Zhu Di had known all this a long time ago, he should have stood up and exposed it at that time instead of waiting until now. Moreover, even if Zhu Di coveted the position of Prince of the East Palace, he would not have involved Hu Weiyong and himself. Otherwise, if he was exposed, it would inevitably
There are two more opponents who cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, Zhu Di had tried so hard to win over him before, and he would not let his hard work go in vain.
"Don't think about it. If there is such a person, sooner or later he will take action. Sooner or later the fox's tail will show up."
After thinking about all this, Hu Fei smiled and said.
"Okay, then you should be careful. You need to be more cautious in your actions in the future. Don't let this person take advantage of you."
Hu Weiyong nodded and warned seriously.
"knew."
"I'm tired, so I'll go back first. Let Qin Hai deliver the food to Linglong Garden later."
Hu Fei agreed, and as he spoke, he got up and walked out.
Hu Weiyong did not hold back, and watched his son slowly leave the main hall, frowning slightly.
"Keep him safe. If something happens to him, I will never let you go!"
Immediately afterwards, Hu Weiyong said something coldly, stood up, left the main hall, and went to the study.
On the roof, a black figure sat quietly with a solemn expression. Listening to Hu Weiyong's footsteps disappearing behind the study, he tiptoed and instantly flew a few feet away and disappeared into the backyard.
It’s Xiao An!
Linglong Court.
Hu Fei sat in the main hall, poured a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all.
Although the matter was over, his heart could not calm down for a long time.
There are too many doubts about what happened today.
First of all, that big hand hidden in the dark will become the threat he needs to be wary of most from today on.
Secondly, he had previously suspected that Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly controlling these things, but with the revelation of the Mao Xiang incident, Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion seemed to have been cleared.
But what he was not sure about was whether the person who helped Zhu Yuanzhang clear his suspicions was really someone else, or Zhu Yuanzhang himself!
He prefers the former, so that although this person is hiding deeply, at least he still has room to fight back. But if it is the latter, it would be terrible, and if it is really like that, the future will definitely be difficult!
At this moment, footsteps were heard, and Qin Hai came from the middle door with several servants, carrying various dishes of various sizes, and the table was quickly filled.
"Master, the dishes are ready. You can enjoy it slowly."
Qin Hai bowed and said respectfully.
"Thank you for your hard work. If you have nothing to do, just go down first."
Hu Fei nodded, waved his hands and said.
Qin Hai agreed and slowly retreated.
But just as Qin Hai stepped forward, the sound of footsteps sounded again, and then he saw Princess Anqing walking in from the back door and running into the main hall quickly.
Seeing Princess Anqing, all the doubts and worries in Hu Fei's heart were instantly forgotten, and he showed a gentle smile.
"Didn't His Majesty say that he would have lunch at Kunning Palace? Why did you run out?"
Hu Fei looked at Princess Anqing who suddenly arrived and asked with a smile.
"People are worried about you, how about it? Father, I'm not giving you a hard time, am I?"
Princess Anqing pursed her lips and asked worriedly as she approached Hu Fei.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
"Then you must not have eaten, right? Just in time, sit down and eat something with me."
Hu Fei shook his head and motioned for Princess Anqing to sit next to him, and the two of them started eating while talking and laughing.
Up until this point, an expected crisis had been passed safely.
But Hu Fei knew that such crises would only become the norm in the future.
To be continued...
