The chief of guards, Fang Dayou, rushed to the front and loudly asked the four guards guarding the door of Lingxue Residence: "Did you see anyone coming in?"

The guards looked at each other and shook their heads quickly.

Then one of the guards looked a bit troubled: "Commander Guard is in the courtyard, but - just don't let the little people get close easily!"

Although the assistants of Pingzhang Mansion have always been known for their arrogance in Lin'an Mansion, they are still a little wary when facing Wei Ruxin and others.

After all, the other party was not only from the imperial guard of the imperial family, but also the brother of the wife of the eldest son of the Jia family, so naturally they did not dare to make a mistake.

Sure enough, two captains from the Imperial City Division came out after hearing the news, and said politely: "Commander Wei has just taken a rest, so don't disturb us! I wonder what happened in your house?"

Fang Dayou looked solemn and said straightforwardly: "A burglar broke into our garden. He was seen heading towards Lingxue Residence before. We need to search this place!"

The mistake on the night banquet day had severely damaged Fang Dayou's reliable image in front of Lord Pingzhang for ten years.

If it weren't for the fact that he had followed him long enough, was loyal, and had Butler Liu shoulder the responsibility, then he must have been among those who were beaten to death the night before.

He couldn't sleep well in the past two days, because as soon as he fell asleep, Master Pingzhang's terrifying look of splitting eyes at night would haunt him like a ghost, suffocating him to the point of almost drowning.

Now there must be no mistake, otherwise, he and his whole family will probably not be able to worship Emperor Zhenwu next year.

Upon hearing this, the two captains frowned and immediately looked at each other.

One of the bearded lieutenants said rationally: "We are escorting the prisoners to Pingzhang Mansion to meet Mr. Pingzhang. If there are thieves in your mansion, we will naturally cooperate with the arrest!"

"However, since this is currently a place guarded by our Imperial City Department, in order to prevent the prisoners from making mistakes, I and my brothers should personally search it for you. I wonder what the leader wants?"

"This is the boundary of my Pingzhang Mansion. Why, can't we inspect it?" A guard from the Pingzhang Mansion shouted unconvinced upon hearing this.

"Yes! Is the Imperial City Division great?" Someone muttered in agreement.

------

Fang Dayou is a calm person, but now it is important to catch people of unknown origin, and a conflict with the Imperial City Secretary will not help.

So he did not yell at the captain in a spirited way, but calmly said: "In this case, I will bring two guards and two military masters together. After all, we are familiar with this place!"

The two captains looked at each other hesitantly.

"Let Fang Tou lead us in!"

At this moment, Wei Ruxin's voice suddenly came from the darkness, and then his handsome figure was seen walking around the bamboo forest and appearing under the shadow of the lamp.

"Yes!" the captain said respectfully, "Please, Mr. Fang!"

Fang Dayou immediately recruited two capable guards and followed the captain into Lingxue Residence.

The east wing of Lingxue Residence was also dark at first, but it seemed that noisy noises were heard in the outer courtyard. The people inside hurriedly lit a lamp, and suddenly the window pane lit up.

"Zhao Chonghuan, there was a thief in Pingzhang's house, and he may have escaped into Lingxue Residence. Please clean up and open the door!" Wei Ruxin walked to the east chamber door and said calmly.

"Yes! Open the door, little man!" "Creak!" The double door was opened, revealing Zhao Chonghuan's ugly face.

Fang Dayou looked at the young man who was wearing a robe and curling up slightly. He obviously looked like he had just been awakened from his sleep, but he did not appear panicked.
