Hearing Zhou Fang's homonym, Su Yan immediately understood what he meant.
"General Zhou, although Su Ze is my second brother and my blood brother, I should protect him.”
After a pause, he continued," However, as a subject of the Great Han Dynasty, I should be loyal to the Emperor and the Imperial Court. I shouldn't have done such a thing, even if it was my own brother.”
"Su Yan, what nonsense are you talking about? Let me tell you, don't even think about framing me!”
When Su Ze heard this, he quickly said in exasperation.
"Second Young Master!"
"I'm asking the Eldest Young Master a question now. You'd better not interrupt me. Otherwise, I have reason to think that you're causing trouble." Zhou Fang said in a deep voice.”
"I can arrest you for obstructing official business!”
"Catch me?"
Su Ze was so angry that he laughed." Do you know who my father is? You dare to capture me? Are you tired of living?”
"Please watch your words, Second Young Master!"
Zhou Fang was angered by Su Ze's arrogant words. He tried his best to suppress his anger.
He was only a city guard captain and couldn't compare to Su Ping.
However, he had the Prefecture Overseer Liu Yu backing him up. No matter how powerful Su Ping was, he wouldn't dare to oppose Liu Yu openly.
Just his status as a relative of the Han clan made his status higher than everyone else. In addition, he had connections in the court and left behind a reputation of benevolence and honesty.
Su Ping didn't dare to start a war. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stop Liu Yu once she showed her true strength.
That was why Zhou Fang wasn't too afraid of Su Ping even though he was afraid of him.
His position was to be in charge of the city defense of Ji County. Most of the army in Ji County was under his command, and he had a lot of authority.
When Liu Yu first took office, he found a reason to replace the original lieutenant and promoted Zhou Fang.
This also showed that he was Liu Yu's trusted aide, and no one was allowed to act rashly.
In this way, the army of Ji County was indirectly controlled by Liu Yu.
Su Ze was just a good-for-nothing son of a rich family. He did not understand these hidden interests.
That was why he dared to use Su Ping's identity to scare Zhou Fang in front of everyone.
If Su Ping was here, he would have been furious and slapped Su Ze to death.
Such a son was simply a scam!
Su Yan watched this scene with interest. He suddenly realized that this Su Ze was really very stupid.
Even such a pustule would make his predecessor look miserable.
It seemed that he was too weak after all.
He smiled." General Zhou, my second brother is still young after all. He's a little insensible. Please don't lower yourself to his level."”
"Eldest Young Master, don't worry. This humble servant knows that Second Young Master was just too angry and spoke carelessly.”
Zhou Fang cupped his hands and glanced at Su Ze.
The two of them were echoing each other, completely ignoring Su Ze's existence. This completely infuriated him.
"Su Yan, stop pretending to be a good person! Let me tell you, Ji County is my territory. As long as you come here, don't even think about leaving. I will kill you sooner or later.”
He pointed at Su Yan and shouted angrily. Then, he swung his sleeve and was about to leave.
However, at this moment, the surrounding soldiers stopped him.
"Second Young Master, the matter has not been investigated clearly. You brought people here to gather a crowd to cause trouble.”
Zhou Fang said.
"What's wrong? You still want me to stay? Do you have to ask my father to look for you personally?”
Su Ze looked at him and sneered.
"You!"
Zhou Fang glared at him and snorted."Since Second Young Master is unwilling to cooperate, I can only detain Second Young Master.”
"How dare you! I…"
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, an old man suddenly rode over and shouted.
"General Zhou, please wait a moment. Let me have a word with you.”
He looked at Zhou Fang and said.
"Who are you?" Zhou Fang said.
"This old servant is the housekeeper of the Su Residence. I wonder if General is willing to listen to me.”the old man said slowly.
"Tell me."
Zhou Fang frowned when he heard that it was from the Su Residence.
The old man came to Zhou Fang's side and whispered a few words to him.
Su Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that someone must have helped Su Ze.
If he didn't guess wrongly, it should be that Xu shi.
Madam Xu was favored by Su Ping. She had a lot of power in the Su Residence. Sometimes, she could even influence the outside world.
Su Yan had some impression of this butler. He seemed to have been Madam Xu's servant in the past.
After hearing the old man's words, Zhou Fang frowned and waved his hand. The soldiers immediately dispersed the encirclement.
"In that case, I thank General on behalf of Furen.”
When the butler saw this, he bowed to Zhou Fang and gestured for the guards to bring Su Ze back.
He came in front of Su Yan." Old servant greets Eldest Young Master!”
He bowed to Su Yan with a very respectful expression.
"What is it?"
Su Yan asked indifferently.
"Old Master's birthday is about to arrive. Furen invites Eldest Young Master to go back and congratulate Old Master.”
Su Yan nodded." I understand. Tell Madam that I will return." Don't worry, I'll thank her properly.”
He emphasized the word " thank you ".
It was unknown if the butler had heard what Su Yan said, but he bowed to Su Yan and rode back.
He had just left when Zhou Fang came to Su Yan's side.
"Thank you for your help, General Zhou.”
Su Yan cupped his hands towards Zhou Fang.
"Eldest Young Master is too polite. Duke Lu saved my life. Now that Eldest Young Master is under Duke Lu, I have helped Eldest Young Master to repay Duke Lu's kindness.”
Zhou Fang said with a smile.
After Su Yan heard this, he came to a realization. It turned out that he had owed Lu Zhi a favor.
Now, it seemed that he had made the right decision to take Lu Zhi as his master. Now, some of the benefits had already been reflected.
Zhou Fang explained," Just now, the housekeeper of the Su Residence used your father to threaten me. I had no choice but to release Second Young Master. I didn't help Eldest Young Master. Please forgive me."”
"It's fine, General Zhou. It's already very good that you can help me. In the future, if you need anything, you can come to Zhuo County to look for me.”
Su Yan waved his hand.
Zhou Fang's status was not ordinary. There was no harm in getting in touch with him, so Su Yan was willing to owe him a favor.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first.”
Zhou Fang cupped his hands and left with his men.
Su Yan looked at them and immediately asked Wang Min to bring them to contact the 100 soldiers hiding in the broken barracks.
In a few small courtyards in the north of the city, a hundred soldiers were hiding there. They quickly found it.
Su Yan ordered them to wait for orders and then headed to the Prefecture Overseer's Estate.
This time, the main person he came to Ji County was to meet Liu Yu and see what his attitude towards him was.
If he was very supportive of him, then he would have a backer.
It would be much more convenient for him to expand his forces in Youzhou.
