“Clap!”

The door fan almost hit Madam Yu’s face.

“He Lie!’

Madam Yu called He Lie’s name repeatedly from behind the door, but He Lie turned a deaf ear to her. He only instructed the Embroidered Uniform Guards coldly, “Search this residence properly.”

“Investigate properly!’

His words were also directed at the Yu Family members in the residence.

“Yes, Commander! The Embroidered Uniform Guards received the order in unison.

He Lie didn’t care about the Yu Family’s reaction and quickly chased after Gu Yanfei.

When he faced Gu Yanfei, He Lie put on his smiling mask again and led her towards the door personally.

When he reached the gate, Gao Yuan hurried over from the direction of the gate. He cupped his fists at He Lie and reported, “Commander, the British Crown Prince insisted on barging in when he arrived outside.”

He Lie frowned and said coldly, “Stop him.”

The Embroidered Uniform Guards only listened to the Emperor and weren’t afraid of the British Monarchy.

Gao Yuan obeyed and left, walking like the wind.

Gu Yanfei smiled and didn’t say anything. He continued to walk forward leisurely.

In front of the gate of the residence, there was a clamor. Amidst it was an unhappy young man’s voice.

“Move aside, I want to go in!”

Fang Mingfeng, who was dressed in sky blue, was confronting a few Embroidered Uniform Guards. The air was filled with gunpowder.

There were also many commoners gathered in the alley outside the residence. There were men and women, old and young. All of them looked worried and their eyes were red.

When Gu Yanfei and He Lie walked to the entrance, everyone looked over, including Fang Mingfeng.

Fang Mingfeng looked at Gu Yanfei with a complicated gaze. He wanted to say something but was interrupted by an agitated female voice.

“Second Lady Gu!” A middle-aged woman rushed forward and rubbed her hands. She looked at Gu Yanfei carefully and asked, “Have you seen my Shuan m? He has a mole between his eyebrows…”

The middle-aged woman’s voice trembled slightly. She was both worried about her son and respectful of Gu Yanfei.

The people who had been waiting for a long time swarmed over and pushed Fang Mingfeng away like seawater.

Most of the commoners present were those who had lost their children. Compared to the Emperor’s trial, they wanted to know their child’s safety more, so they ran over one after another.

However, there were Embroidered Uniform Guards guarding outside the residence. They were afraid of the dignity of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and didn’t dare to ask, so they could only wait here.

Gu Yanfei looked at He Lie beside him.

Afraid that she would misunderstand, He Lie hurriedly explained, “Second Lady Gu, those children look a little weak. Some of them are injured, so I got someone to invite a doctor over to take a look at them first.”

“Furthermore, they are the victims in this case. We have to ask them for their confessions before we can release them,” He Lie said patiently.

Even if he had never eaten pork before, he had seen pigs run.

Gu Yanfei also understood that the Embroidered Uniform Guards should still have some details to interrogate these children. She turned to smile at the middle-aged woman and comforted her. “Don’t worry, the children are fine. ‘

When she smiled, she was incomparably beautiful, making people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. The slender girl formed a sharp contrast with the tall and cold Embroidered Uniform Guards around her.

The middle-aged woman and the other commoners also heard He Lie’s words. However, compared to the notorious Embroidered Uniform Guards, they were naturally more willing to believe Gu Yanfei’s words.

The middle-aged woman couldn’t help but cry and thank her repeatedly. “Thank you, thank you, Second Lady Gu!”

She wished that she could go back and set up a longevity memorial tablet for Gu Yanfei and wish her a good life.

Gu Yanfei looked at the other commoners behind him and said in a clear voice, “Don’t worry, everyone. Commander He will get someone to take good care of those children.’

He Lie made a promise in public. “After the Embroidered Uniform Guards are done asking questions, everyone can go to the Northern Town to collect your children tomorrow. ‘

Usually, as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, He Lie wouldn’t explain so much to these commoners. However, now that he wanted to support Gu Yanfei, he naturally had to do this beautifully.

These words were spoken loudly and spread throughout the entire Wutong Lane. It was equivalent to giving the commoners present a reassurance.

They thanked Gu Yanfei and He Lie while sobbing, their words sincere.

More and more people came from Wutong Lane to the streets outside. Many passers-by saw the Embroidered Uniform Guards sealing the residence from afar and saw that there were many people outside the residence. They ran over excitedly to watch the commotion and asked what had happened.

The commoners who had lost their children were now extremely grateful to the Emperor. They told him everything and talked about the suspect that the Emperor was currently investigating at Chengtian Gate.

There were also people who talked about how Second Lady Gu removed the parasites for the Eldest Princess and punished the demonic priest, Shangqing, in admiration. They praised her as if she was a god who had descended to the mortal world.

The surrounding crowd was instantly in an uproar, and they felt that this case was truly shocking.

Especially since this suspect was the head of the Yu Family, a noble family that had existed for hundreds of years.

Everyone knew that the Geng family used to be a top-notch aristocratic family and was famous for a period of time. In the previous dynasty, there was even a joke that the Yu Family and the imperial family ruled the world together. Every generation of Emperors had the bloodline of the Yu Family.

The commoners surrounding the Yu Residence gradually dispersed, and more and more people rushed to Chengtian Gate to see what was going on.

This spread to ten, ten to a hundred, hundred to a thousand..

In just two to four hours, the entire capital was in an uproar.

For a time, almost everyone in the capital was paying attention to the progress of this matter.

Kang Wang and Chu You were the same.

He was sitting in the Qingjiang Building on Chang’an West Street. From the private seats on the second floor, he could only see the sea of people from Chang’an’s right gate to Chengtian Gate.

He frowned deeply and drank two glasses of wine in a row, emitting a gloomy and unhappy aura.

As soon as the drum was sounded, Chu You immediately left the residence and came to the Qingjiang Building. From time to time, someone would come to report the entire matter to him.

Chu You’s heart sank from the initial anticipation…
