If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

“Principal, we don’t know what happened either. We had just finished strolling around the streets and returned to our assigned dormitory. We were just about to rest when soldiers rushed in, grabbed us, and started searching the room. They ended up finding a few statues of evil gods somewhere.”

Although the incident happened suddenly, the association still managed to recount the entire incident in its entirety.

"Wait, you said a group of soldiers arrested you, and the search was also conducted by soldiers?"

"Yes."

"Weren't the constables from the Jingzhao Yin's office arresting you?"

"No, I remember it very clearly. It was soldiers, and they were quite fierce. The yamen runners came later."

Because the soldiers had spoken harshly to the students, the students remembered very clearly that the soldiers were not yamen runners.

Did they say which unit they were from?

"It seems they didn't say anything, they just rushed in."

The students don't remember very clearly, and even if the other party introduced themselves at the time, they probably wouldn't remember.

"Are you sure the statue of the evil god isn't yours?"

Zhou Wu wanted to confirm this last point himself.

“Principal, that thing definitely doesn’t belong to us.”

With the student's assurance, Zhou Wu felt relieved, and he also felt that the item could not possibly belong to his student.

It seems I need to visit a few more places to investigate further.

"You stay here for a few days, and I will rescue you."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Principal."

The students realized they had caused trouble for the principal and began to bow their heads and apologize.

"What are you saying? You are my students. If you really commit crimes, I will deal with you personally. But if it is not your fault, I will never let others wrong you."

. . . . . . .

After leaving the prison at noon, he went to find Zhu Keduo again.

"What are your orders, sir?"

"Weren't the people who searched the house yours?"

"No, we received a report, but by the time we arrived, someone had already finished their business."

"Whose person?"

Zhou Wu had always thought that it was Zhu Keduo's men at the scene, but it turned out that there was someone else.

"They are the Imperial Guards."

"The Imperial Guard? Damn it, the Imperial Guard is getting involved in your affairs now?"

To be honest, if we really investigate this matter, the Imperial Guards really did overstep their authority. In officialdom, especially in the capital where the emperor is right under his nose, no matter which faction you're in, you pay more attention to these details.

Clearly, someone was behind this.

"Where is the evidence? Let me see it."

"Wait a moment, I'll have someone go and get it."

Zhou Wu wanted to see what it was that could make the Imperial Guards jump out.

"My lord, please take a look."

The constables brought over several items wrapped in cloth. Zhou Wu took them, then unwrapped the cloth, and what he found inside greatly surprised him.

"This thing looks so familiar, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

"Is that so? Sir, why don't you try to recall it? It might be helpful for this case."

To be honest, Zhu Keduo still wanted to stand on Zhou Wu's side. After all, Zhou Wu was still young, and with the Emperor's favor now, his potential was already limitless, not to mention what the future held.

"Brother, you must calm down."

As the two were talking, Lu Da's voice came from behind.

"Brother, what brings you here?"

“I heard that your student had an accident. I was afraid you would act recklessly again, so I came to see you. Fortunately, it seems that you haven’t lost your temper yet.”

“If you’re going to lose your temper, you need evidence to prove you’re not a suspect.”

Upon hearing Zhou Wu's words, Lu Da suddenly realized that it was indeed true. Every time Zhou Wu retaliated, he had proven his innocence before taking action.

"Hey, what's this? It looks familiar."

As soon as Lu Da said this, it immediately alerted Zhu Keduo and Zhou Wu.

If Zhou Wu said it looked familiar, it might be because he was mistaken or his memory was confused. But now that Lu Da also says it looks familiar, it can only mean that this thing is definitely not the first time it has appeared.

"Brother, have we met before? Where? Think quickly."

"Isn't this the evil god statue in that bastard Hou Zhenghao's secret room?"

This evil god statue is not common. Lu Da remembers it clearly, but mentioning Hou Zhenghao also evoked Zhou Wu's memories.

"Hou Zhenghao!!! Oh right, Hou Zhenghao seems to be wearing a pendant around his neck, it looks like this, I thought it was some kind of Buddha statue at first."

"So, this case is somehow related to Hou Zhenghao."

The case is getting more and more complicated, and it has even implicated Hou Zhenghao, but Hou Zhenghao has been dead for a long time. It seems like a dead end no matter how you look at it. Zhu Keduo feels like his brain is not working properly.

"Old Zhu, I need the constables who were at the scene that day to help me with something."

"What's the deal?"

. . . . . . .

Zhou Wu led the constables who had arrested the students that day to patrol the vicinity of the Imperial Guard camp for several days.

Zhou Wu brought these yamen runners specifically to identify people, but after staking out for several days, they still couldn't find the imperial guards who had arrested the students a few days ago.

"With so many people coming and going, is there still no one? Could it be that you're mistaken?"

Several days had passed, and Zhou Wu began to wonder if these yamen runners had simply forgotten what the Imperial Guards looked like.

"No, my lord. We would recognize those Imperial Guards even if they were reduced to ashes."

Zhou Wu was somewhat surprised by the decisive answers from these yamen runners.

Because there were inside stories that Zhou Wu didn't know, when the yamen runners arrived that day and saw the students being beaten by the Imperial Guards, they, as yamen runners of the Prefect of the Capital, naturally had to step forward to stop it, since handling criminal cases in the capital was their responsibility.

However, the Imperial Guards looked down on these yamen runners. Not only did they ignore their advice, they even laid hands on them. If Zhu Keduo hadn't arrived in time, the runners would probably have been beaten as well.

That's why the yamen runners said they would never forget the appearance of these imperial guards.

"Sir, it's them."

The constables suddenly spoke up in unison, pointing at several imperial guards in the distance, but Zhou Wu did not make any move and quietly led the constables away.

Zhou Wu then went directly to the Crown Prince's residence.

"It's a rare treat. It's been a long time since you've visited my Crown Prince's residence. Please have a seat."

"Thank you, Prince."

"Speak, what do you need from me?"

"You're so smart now?"

I haven't been in contact with the Crown Prince much lately, and I didn't expect him to have made such great progress.

"Tch, you never come to my place without a reason. Every time you come, it's because you have something to say."

"Oh, I see. I knew you didn't look like you were getting smarter."

"you......"

"Haha, just kidding. Lend me some of your Crown Prince's army."

"What do you want to do?"

Upon hearing that Zhou Wu had come to borrow troops, Li Junren immediately became cautious. This was the capital, and the other party had come to borrow troops, not to mention that Zhou Wu had a bad temper.

All these actions foreshadow that Zhou Wu is about to cause trouble again.
