Early the next morning.

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Pang Yuhai, the chief eunuch, walked quickly into the hall.

"Your Majesty, we have just received news that the Chunqiu Tang assassin who sneaked into the capital was killed by Jiu'an Hou personally on North Street last night."

Pang Yuhai bowed respectfully and said slowly.

"Oh? How many people came from the other side?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask.

"There are three people in total. Jiu'an Hou only took three people with him last night. It is said that he used a trick to lure the snake out of the hole and deliberately lured the killer to a brothel on North Street."

Pang Yuhai replied hurriedly.

"Originally, I thought that Chunqiu Hall would make a big fuss this time, but I didn't expect that Hu Fei would kill him so easily. It seems that I still overestimated Chunqiu Hall."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said slightly disdainfully.

"Your Majesty, although there are only three people on the other side, the leader is a wanted criminal who committed dozens of crimes in our Ming Dynasty many years ago! This person's name is Wu Yun, he is very skilled, and it is said that he has an unusual relationship with the Northern Yuan Imperial Court.

He is also a high-level person in Chunqiu Hall."

"If Marquis Jiu'an hadn't been equally skilled, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Back then, the Ministry of Punishments sent a large number of manpower to hunt for this person, but in the end he escaped."

"But now that he died in the hands of Marquis Jiu'an, the cases that have been backlogged by the Ministry of Punishment for so many years can finally be closed."

Pang Yuhai paused and continued.

"So, Hu Fei has made meritorious service again this time?"

After listening to Pang Yuhai's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be a little surprised, then showed a smile of approval and said with a smile.

"Indeed."

Pang Yuhai nodded and agreed.

"He never seems to disappoint me. It seems that I have to take credit for him again."

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said thoughtfully.

"I heard that Marquis Jiu'an killed Wu Yun last night with a sword that was as sharp as iron as clay. It seems that His Highness King Yan personally sent it back from Peking in order to congratulate Marquis Jiu'an on becoming the commander of the Jinyiwei."

"Jiu'an Hou also gave this knife a unique name."

Pang Yuhai smiled and said slowly.

"Oh? No wonder he has been unwilling to wear the Xiuchun knife of Jin Yiwei. It turns out he has a private collection. Can you tell me, what is the name of that knife?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and asked with interest.

"I heard that this sword is made from thousand-year-old cold iron, so it is called Jiuqianhan."

Pang Yuhai replied slowly.

"Jiu Qianhan? It's indeed a unique name. I'm afraid only he can come up with such a name."

Zhu Yuanzhang read it silently, shook his head and said.

Pang Yuhai smiled and said nothing.

"By the way, what's the latest news from Jinyiwei?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and continued to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is as usual."

Pang Yuhai cupped his hands and replied in a low voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded without saying anything else, with a faint smile on his face and his heart full of praise for Hu Fei.

...

Outside the palace gate.

Jinyi Health Center.

Hu Fei rode his red horse and slowly stopped in front of the guard house, turned over and jumped off the horse.

Chundie and Pei Jie led a dozen or so imperial guards, and Ye Qing led thirteen golden cavalry guards to protect them on both sides. Their momentum was like a rainbow.

Since being promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Hu Fei no longer rides in a carriage every day when he is on duty. Instead, he chooses to ride a horse. He only chooses to ride a carriage when he goes out on a daily basis.

After all, he is now a third-grade military attache, so he must show some momentum.

Wearing a python robe, a jade belt around his waist, a nine thousand cold sling across his body, and a red horse riding on his feet, Hu Fei is indeed an extraordinary person. When passing through the market every day, he often attracts people passing by to stop and watch and give him a hand.

As soon as Hu Fei got off his horse, before he could go in, he saw a middle-aged man walking quickly out of the door and greeted him, followed behind him was Han Jiang, the deputy commander of the Jin Yiwei.

"Your Majesty, Wang Huidi, pays homage to the Commander!"

The middle-aged man came forward and said loudly while saluting respectfully.

"Wang Shangshu, why are you here?"

Hu Fei looked at the middle-aged man and said calmly.

The visitor is none other than the current Minister of Justice, Wang Huidi.

"I've seen the Commander-in-Chief."

At this time, Han Jiang also came over and bowed respectfully to Hu Fei.

Hu Fei raised his hand, ignored Han Jiang, and continued to look at Wang Huidi.

"I am here today to express my gratitude to the commander. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

With a flattering smile on his face, Wang Huidi held his hands and said with a smile.

"Let's talk after we go in first."

Hu Fei smiled, signaled, and walked straight to the guardhouse.

Wang Huidi agreed and hurriedly followed with Han Jiang.

In the command post.

Hu Fei sat on the chair, looked at the flattering Wang Huidi, pursed his lips and smiled, and motioned to Chundie beside him to pour a cup of tea for Wang Huidi.

Although Wang Huidi has not explained the purpose of his visit, he has already guessed that it must be related to the dark cloud who died in the Yanyu Tower last night.

"I wonder what Wang Shangshu wants to thank me for?"

Hu Fei looked at Wang Huidi and asked with a smile.

"I heard that the commander showed great power last night and killed three Beiyuan Chunqiu Hall killers with his own hands in the Yanyu Tower. I admire you very much!"

"The Capital Soldiers and Horses Division sent the killer's body to the Ministry of Punishment overnight last night. This morning, the official has personally confirmed that the leader is Wu Yun, the key criminal who has been wanted by the Ministry of Punishment!"

"This person has done many evil things, and the Criminal Department has been tracking and apprehending him. Unexpectedly, he died at the hands of the commander last night, so that the Criminal Department can finally close the case, so I came here to express my gratitude!"

While explaining, Wang Huidi made a big salute, his face full of gratitude.

"It's just a little effort. Besides, we all serve as officials in the same dynasty and should take care of each other. Why should Wang Shangshu go there in person for such a trivial matter? It's too outlandish."

"Besides, before I killed him, I didn't know that he was a wanted criminal by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It was just a coincidence."

Hu Fei waved his hand and said with a smile.

"No, no, no, thank you. You must thank me, otherwise it means that the subordinate does not understand the rules."

"Your new Jinyiwei commander has helped the Ministry of Punishments clean up important fugitives. If you make new achievements, you will surely prosper and be promoted continuously in the future. I hope that the commander will give you more support in the future."

Wang Huidi said flatteringly while cupping his hands.

Han Jiang on the side yelled at Wang Huidi and couldn't help but frowned.

It stands to reason that Wang Huidi, as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and a second-rank official, is one level higher than Hu Fei, but in front of Hu Fei, he looked groveling.

Hu Fei was already used to this scene. Ever since he appeared in the sight of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, people had been fawning over him almost every day.

"Wang Shangshu, as the head of the Criminal Department, how do you behave like this?! If His Majesty finds out, how will he miss you?!"

"With all your efforts to flatter me, you may have solved an old case! The reason why Wu Yun has not been caught for so many years is because Wang Shangshu has been unable to do his job, right?"

Hu Fei's face darkened, he looked at Wang Huidi and said dissatisfiedly.

"this..."

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Wang Huidi was stunned, his face froze, and he was at a loss for words.

"Okay, I accept your thanks. If you have nothing to do, go back. You should spend more time on running errands for the court, and don't follow other people's flattery."

Hu Fei waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Yes, I am resigning!"

Wang Huidi hurriedly bowed and agreed, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around and left the Jinyi Guardhouse impatiently.

"Master Commander, if nothing happens, my subordinates will also retire."
