Chapter 259
With Gu Yue's order, Guardian Fang returned to Chudu alone, but he encountered trouble when entering the city.
"Are you Lord Gu's guard?"
"Yes."
"Sir Gu came back just after he left the city?"
"Lord Gu hasn't come back, I'm coming back to do something."
"Doing things? What to do?"
"Do you need to report your affairs to you?"
Commander Fang was surprised why he was investigated when he entered the city in broad daylight, and the man actually asked so much.
"Oh?! You actually refused to cooperate?! I now suspect that you pretended to be a master Gu to protect him, so someone came! Take it down!"
"yes!"
This development was really unexpected. As Guardian Gu Yue's guard, especially those who were respected at these times, he understood that these people had no idea and tried to see if they could curry favor with Lord Gu, but can't he gain some benefits from his own Lord's glory? He was proud.
This happened so suddenly. After staying by Gu Yue for a long time, Guardian Fang was also a little influenced by the audience, so he began to think, first of all, he was not prepared to force himself.
"This team leader, my master has just gone to the military camp outside the city to do business. I just came back to do something for the adult. If you have to prove your identity, maybe the commander of the patrol battalion has met me. My surname is the party. If you can inform me..."
"I care what your surname is! I'm looking for the commander of the patrol battalion? Who do you think you are?! I advise you to be honest to avoid suffering! Hurry up and take action!"
At the moment of speaking, a group of gatekeepers had already pointed their spears at Guardian Fang. Perhaps he might have any signs of resistance.
After thinking about it, Guard Fang knew that he would definitely not have the strength, so he got off the horse and tied up, with some unknown premonition in his heart, but he did not intend to give up resisting and seeking you. After all, this is Chudu. With Gu Yue's current patrol battalion or the city guards, most of them will give face, at least it is impossible to deliberately find fault. But in front of him, it can only be someone who deliberately does it. After all, he is just a small person, and he has not really stopped Gu Yue himself.
At this moment, Guardian Fang saw a very familiar passerby watching. When he looked carefully, he was indeed a vendor who had set up a stall outside the college. He occasionally took his brothers to have lunch. This person probably remembered him, so he spoke to the vendor and said, "Help me report to the official" and at the same time, he put his tied hands a little too much so that the man could understand it more clearly.
As a small vendor who once set up stalls outside the college, he did meet Guardian Fang and was taken care of more than once. Moreover, thanks to Gu Yue's practice, the guards of the college were approachable and had no airs at all. This made the vendors around him very happy and respected. However, after that night attack, Emperor Chu ordered that no one would set up stalls outside the college, so they had to move away, but they all understood that it was related to Lord Gu's safety after all.
Today, he had just left the city to do something, but when he came back, he actually saw such a scene. He felt inexplicably and puzzled. In theory, can the soldiers guarding the city not recognize Lord Gu's reputation? Even Chief Guardian Fang, these people should have a basic impression, after all, who dares to pretend to be the people around Gu Yue?
But he was just a hawker and a civilian. At this time, it was impossible for him to stand up and say good things to Captain Fang, otherwise he might have been implicated. However, Captain Fang saw him and made a move to ask for help. Can he agree immediately?
He was very hesitant, but he couldn't bear to leave like this, so he thought about it and thought of a compromise, which was to go to the academy to inform other guards.
After running all the way, he found that the academy was guarded by many sergeants. The blood stains visible to the naked eye at the gate showed that something big had just happened here!
The vendor hesitated even more. He immediately understood what happened to the academy. Lord Gu might have sent the guard chief back to deal with it. As a result, the man was detained before he even entered the city, so it was very likely that he would delay Lord Gu's affairs.
But can he, a villain, worry about the hearts of adults?
Hesitating and the weather was uncertain. The vendor was discovered by Jingzhao Yin's detective while wandering outside the college and immediately surrounded him.
"Who are you? Why are you doing here? Haven't you seen a case being handled? Are you involved?!"
Looking at the shaky knives, the vendor was almost scared and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. "My sir, the young vendor who used to set up a stall here is not afraid to have anything to do with the murder! The adults are very careful!"
This movement attracted Zhao Dezhu, who hurriedly helped the vendor up, "Why are you scaring people at will? What's wrong with this person?"
"Captain Zhao, this man is sneaky. I thought he would be the thieves who came back to see the scene."
"Oh? Then I'll ask you, what are you here for?"
"Captain Zhao Mingjian, Xiaodi is really not a thief! That's right. Please tell me clearly. Just now, Xiaodi came back from work outside the city. When he passed by the city gate, he saw that the Chief Fang of the academy was the Chief Fang next to Lord Gu. He was actually locked up by the soldiers guarding the city and tied up! Xiaodi used to set up a stall here, and many were patronized by the guards of the academy. They had no airs and were not kind on weekdays. Xiaodi really remembered that it was Chief Fang. Just when he was taken away just now, he seemed to find Xiaodi in the crowd and winked at Xiaodi, as if he hoped that Xiaodi could repay him for the arrest of the academy. So Xiaodi rushed over immediately. Who would have thought that something big happened here? Please ask Chief Zhao Mingjian, Xiaodi said everything is true, otherwise you can send someone to the city gate there to inquire!"
The hawker's statement was very clear and reasonable, not like a fraud, so Zhao Dezhu immediately sent someone to the city gate to inquire, but he had no intention of letting the person go immediately. He took the hawker to see Huang Youwei.
"There is this? Is it confirmed?"
"I just sent to inquire, but I haven't received any rewards yet."
"Well..." Huang Youwei had just recovered and took office again. He never thought that the good academy would be attacked in broad daylight, and he had chosen the time when Lord Gu was away. This was obviously premeditated! Moreover, it is said that those people were disguised as the people around him, including beggars. After they succeeded, they immediately broke into pieces and lurked again. They were definitely well-trained and it was difficult to deal with. However, he was not too anxious because this place belonged to Gu Yue himself. When he came back, he would find out the truth. However, Huang Youwei was willing to repay his kindness, so he ordered the entire Jingzhao Yinfu Office to dispatch a certain degree of blockade for the academy to avoid Xiao Xiao taking the opportunity to break in again.
Unexpectedly, he encountered the incident of Captain Fang being detained by the city guards again. This was probably true, and he smelled the scent of conspiracy.
Although he has never been in opposition to those adults for many years, he is not without a sense of political aura. Combined with the recent events, Huang Youwei immediately understood that this was probably related to the decree of the prince!
But he will never join in, after all, he only needs to be loyal to His Majesty.
At present, rescuing Guardian Fang is an opportunity for him. Not only can he repay Gu Yue's kindness, but he can also help him stop being in touch. After all, with Gu Yue's temperament, he will not be demanding that a person who has just done good deeds to him, but he does not put himself on the fire like the incident in the Changsun family!
Not long after, I went to inquire and quickly returned the news, and the matter was true.
"Sir, should we go and rescue the siege of Guard Fang immediately?"
Zhao Dezhu was also picked up by Gu Yue. He had already prepared for his loyalty with the idea of being loyal. He never thought that a fairy would pull him back from the gate of hell in a trance, so he was more anxious than Huang Youwei when encountering this.
"You can't be reckless. This matter is never simple. In this way, send this vendor out first. Let's go find the commander of the patrol battalion. It is said that something happened to Jingzhao Yinfu that night, and he and Lord Gu solved it together. Most of the time this person has met Guardian himself. It is better to clear up if one more military person testifies."
"Yes, or is it thoughtful!"
So, after sending off the vendor, Huang Youwei arranged for his subordinates to continue to be optimistic about the academy and took Zhao Dezhu to the patrol battalion's headquarters. After a briefing, he met the commander of the patrol battalion.
"This is actually happening?!"
"That's right, the subordinate has sent someone to confirm that there is indeed a guard surnamed Fang who claims to be Lord Gu, who was detained and taken away by the city guard. Moreover, something happened to the academy, so Lord Gu probably went to the military camp to work and couldn't get rid of it. So he sent the guard chief back to convey his orders. The right time point is right."
"Well, it seems that this detention is not easy! I have indeed met the Chief Guardian Fang himself. This matter can be proved, but... Lord Huang, do you think there is something wrong with this?"
As the commander of the patrol battalion, he is much more sensible than ordinary soldiers, because like Huang Youwei, he always faces those high-ranking officials and nobles.
Since Huang Youwei clearly confirmed the facts and came to him to testify together, it was obvious that it was to share the burden and avoid him from taking full responsibility. Of course, out of admiration for Gu Yue and good intentions, this commander could not sit idly by, but he was not a naughty man after all.
"Yes, the official just thought something was wrong, so he thought that the commander had met Guardian Fang himself, so he could discuss it together?"
"Lord Gu worked hard for the country and shared his worries. Since we met his people who were wronged, we are naturally responsible for it. However, I am worried that the involvement here is probably incalculable. After all, the good city guards are unlikely to deliberately disagree with Lord Gu. If the purpose of the person behind this is not considered clearly, it is very likely that we will not only not only fail to get people but also shocked the snake and sent the life of Chief Guard Fang. Do you think it is possible?"
"The commander is meticulous and worthy of Chu Du Zhushi! I am also worried that blind action may result in half the result with twice the effort, especially if it hurts Guard Fang's life, the subordinates are embarrassed to be ashamed of Lord Gu, not to mention that my life was saved by Lord Gu and Lord Commander."
"No, no, no, it's basically over when we arrive. Lord Huang, you don't have to be polite with me, but this matter is, otherwise we can just make it bigger and make it difficult for the other party to get out of the way?"
"What do you mean is to continue to talk to more adults? Well, the lower officials think it is reliable. After all, Lord Gu is kind to others, and there are many adults who have interactions with him!"
"That's right, that's what we mean. In order to speed up our pace, I'm responsible for going to Dugu Mansion to report the news. How about you go directly to Lord Huangfu?"
Huang Youwei felt a little like meeting a soulmate. The commander of the patrol battalion looked so similar to him!
"What the commander said is very true. Then the official will go to Master Huangfu's mansion to chat for a while. After all, that old man will not be annoyed."
The commander of the patrol battalion also felt that he had met too late. How could this person be so in line with him?
So the incident of Guardian Fang being arrested inexplicably gradually moved towards the city's knowledge under the little butterfly effect...
