Seeing that his grandfather was angry, Jiang Feng was afraid that the man would really not be able to get off the stage, so he quickly stepped forward to help the man out and said:

"Grandpa, don't be angry. This gentleman is also acting under orders. Since Li Shen is not in our military camp, it doesn't hurt to let him look around. This way he can explain to the Prime Minister when he goes back."

The old Marquis looked at his grandson and said:

"Did I say I wouldn't let him read it? Since he wants to read it, he must give an explanation after reading it. Jiang Feng, do you think what I said is wrong?"

Jiang Feng was rejected by his grandfather and stood aside feeling lonely. The person who wanted to find Li Shen in the military camp did not dare to search for him by force.

He knew in his heart that Marquis Dingyuan was irritating him. Even if Li Shen is here, if he wants to hide someone, how can he be found? It will make it even more difficult for him to get off the stage.

Thinking of this, he immediately changed his face and said to Marquis Dingyuan:

"Since the Marquis has said this, how can I not believe it? I will not search the military camp. I will go back and report to the Prime Minister. I will retire now."

Dingyuan Hou looked at the man and sneered:

"My lord, when you get back, I will express my condolences to the Prime Minister for me. Just say that I am deeply sympathetic to this matter and ask Prime Minister Hu to take care of himself."

After finishing speaking, the man withdrew politely. Jiang Feng quickly stepped forward and said to his grandfather:

"Grandpa, my grandson has not completed the task you gave me. I have tried my best regarding Jiang Chen, but there is no news at all. So I came back first and asked grandpa to punish him."

Marquis Dingyuan looked at Jiang Feng in front of him and knew that it was useless to blame him, so he said to him:

"I understand, it will be difficult for you to go to the North Country to find Jiang Chen. I will send people to continue the search. You have been out for so long. If something happens to Jiang Chen, the family will definitely be in chaos. You go back to comfort you first. Grandma and Madam, I will send you a message when Jiang Chen's matter is settled."

Jiang Feng was eager to leave here quickly, and after hearing the news of Hu Peng's death, he was even more eager to return.

Now that King Wei no longer has Hu Peng by his side, he is his most trustworthy person. At this critical moment, he must perform well to replace Hu Peng's position beside him.

Jiang Feng was working hard all the way. He didn't have time to go home, so he went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard a woman's voice saying and crying from inside:

"My son, you died unjustly. Why didn't you say anything when you went after the traitor? You just lost your life in vain. How will you live after being called your mother?"

Jiang Feng looked over following the sound and saw that the woman lying on his coffin crying bitterly was none other than Hu Peng's mother, Yan.

Beside her, kneeling were more than a dozen of Hu Peng's concubines. When they saw Madam crying so sadly, they all hid their faces and sobbed.

On the other side of the coffin, Hu Peng's father, Hu Gao, sat dejectedly. His face was filled with anger and he was breathing heavily.

The person standing next to him was Wang Qiang, a close confidant who had just returned from the border. He was lying next to him, telling him about the pursuit of Li Shen.

Jiang Feng kowtowed several times in front of Hu Peng's soul. Then he got up and came to Hu Gao again.

As soon as Hu Gao saw Jiang Feng appearing in front of him, he immediately said to him sharply:

"Jiang Feng, do you still dare to come to pay homage to Hu Peng? He had such a good relationship with you during his lifetime, why did you let your people come to harm him? If your servant hadn't come to report the news, how could my Peng'er bring him People go out to chase Li Shen. After all, you are the murderer of my son. I don’t want to see you again, so get out of here.”

Seeing that Hu Cheng was so prejudiced against him, Jiang Feng argued vehemently:

"Prime Minister, Hu Pengru and I are brothers. We have studied and grown up together since childhood. Even if I harm anyone, I will not harm him. When Hu Peng encounters this kind of thing, I am sadder than anyone else. I understand the Prime Minister's current loss of his son. I just came back from the border, so I came here immediately to testify for you, Mr. Wang."

Wang Qiang glanced at Jiang Feng, bent down and said to Hu Gao:

"Prime Minister, Jiang Feng has indeed returned to the capital just now. He also rushed over immediately after hearing about the young master."

Before Wang Qiang could finish speaking, Hu Gao slapped the chair next to him and shouted at him hoarsely:

"Jiang Feng, I don't care when you come back, that troublesome boy next to you must die. If he hadn't been so talkative, my friend would still be alive and well. And that Li Susu, I originally wanted to Marquis Dingyuan was prepared to let her go. Not only did she not want to repent, she also harbored the traitor Li Shen, causing my son to be killed by the traitor. Wang Qiang, I order you to arrest her immediately. Get up and throw her into prison. Her brother Li Shen has escaped. I want her to pay the penalty. Go quickly."

Wang Qiang did not dare to neglect and immediately led the people out.

Jiang Feng couldn't go back at this time. He had long wished that Hu Gao and Li Susu would be arrested, and this fulfilled his wish.

At this moment, King Wei walked in accompanied by his mother and concubine.

When Concubine Li saw her mother, she cried heartbrokenly while holding her hands in front of the soul. I couldn't help but shed tears like broken pearls.

She looked helplessly at the coffin in front of her and said to her mother with tears in her eyes:

"Mom, things are already like this. Even if you cry all your tears, your brother will never wake up. You should calm down. No matter how sad you are, you have to live this life. You can't just go with him. , you take a rest first, and let’s discuss with father what to do next.”

At this time, King Wei was sitting next to Hu Gao. He looked at Hu Gao's tired face. There is still a hint of the arrogance and arrogance that he had before.

Jiang Feng, who was on the side, saw King Wei coming and quickly came forward to salute.

King Wei opened his mouth and said to Hu Gao:

"Prime Minister, the matter with Uncle Guo is already like this. You can't solve the problem even if you are sad and sad. Let's discuss the next step. I am returning undefeated from my mission to the North this time. I came to the North because I wanted to Unite Yeluhan to restrain the Marquis of Dingyuan who doesn't listen to our orders. Who knows, Jiang Chen has disrupted all our plans. Yeluhan was captured this time, which made us unable to stay in the north. There are no cards to play. Fan Yao is determined to become the leader of the North Kingdom sooner or later. If there is any movement in the court, our biggest threat will come from the north. I want to discuss with the prime minister. Jiang Chen’s life and death are unknown, and Fan Yao has not yet taken office. We might as well make a plan and inform Liu Gu in the west to make preparations in advance to oust the prince as soon as possible. "
