Chapter 748: The Imperial Guards Still Have to Apologize to Us
The imperial guards were certainly not in a good mood.
There are alien sleeper cells in the palace!
That's a huge scandal!
Shameful!
Marshal Yan Xinzhen only spoke a few words to Gu Hang in a flat tone.
But looking back, he was furious!
At this moment, the Marshal of the Imperial Guards summoned many tribunes and captains of the Golden Shield companies for a meeting.
The theme of this meeting was to review what the Imperial Guards had been doing for such a long time. Had they degenerated? Had they been unable to perform their duties and protect the Imperial Palace?
Otherwise, how could there be aliens lurking inside the palace?
No excuse makes sense!
As for Zhang Yulin, the commander of the Golden Shield Company, he should be the protagonist of this meeting. He and his company were responsible for the routine defense of the residence of the chairman of the Swallowing Star Universe. With such a big mess, he was the one who had to be called to the meeting.
However, just as he was about to attend the meeting, Marshal Yan told him not to come in a public channel.
"Clean up your own mess, or don't come back."
After hearing this, he could only rush to the scene in despair.
Of course, he would not go to such lengths to bring the entire Imperial Guards company. The defense zone his company was in charge of was quite large. If he moved recklessly, what if something else happened?
Therefore, he personally led a team of only twenty imperial guards.
That's enough.
One Imperial Guard soldier could be as powerful as ten thousand men. This "ten thousand men" had to be compared to the most elite troops.
Moreover, unlike Space Marines, the Custodians are not just combat experts. As genetically modified superhumans of a higher level than Space Marines, the Custodians not only have bodies that almost never age, but also have strong learning abilities and stronger psychological qualities. In addition to combat, they often have one or more other specialties.
Criminal investigation, mathematics, art, administration...all are possible.
No matter what kind of situation they faced, twenty imperial guards were enough to handle it. Even if they were not enough, there was nothing in the world that could kill twenty imperial guards instantly. In the palace, they were fully capable of holding out until more support arrived.
But obviously, there is nothing special here that requires the Imperial Guard to deal with.
Zhang Yulin could only come and have an awkward chat with Gu Hang.
He is quite afraid of Gu Hang.
First of all, he knew how strong Gu Hang was, so strong that he might have to swallow back some of his imperial guards' arrogance and admit that there were indeed things in this world that could kill all twenty of them in an instant - such as the Governor Gu in front of him.
Secondly, Gu Hang was treated differently by the marshal, who even gave him an instrument to contact the marshal directly.
Now he has been blamed for this, and he may not be able to hold his head up in the Imperial Guards for decades or even hundreds of years because of this stain. Now he is only thinking about making amends, and Gu Hang's position is very critical.
He was the one who discovered the problem. If he said something like 'These Dark Eldar were easy to spot, I could tell at a glance, and I don't understand why the Custodes let them go for so long', he would be doomed.
Zhang Yulin is also an upright person. He would never do such a thing as asking Gu Hang to collude with others in giving false testimony.
However, the attitude shown by Gu Hang during the conversation still made him feel a little relieved.
At least, Gu Hang was saying that the lurking techniques of these Dark Eldar were truly very, very outstanding, a level that he had never seen in his life, and he did not say a word of doubt about the Imperial Guards.
During the conversation, Gu Hang mainly mentioned his concerns about the current situation of the chairman of the Swallowing Star Universe.
This was related to the assassination attempt on Gu Hang that was not completed but was very outrageous. The information provided by Yu Jinwen stated that the assassination was indeed an action order issued by him to the Assassin Court in the name of Acting Chairman Yas. But it was not his own decision, but was caused by two factors.
Firstly, it was a request made by the staff group composed of Dark Eldar lurkers; at the same time, it was indeed an order from Yasdai.
It was natural for the aliens to assassinate a hero of the Empire. Anyway, it was normal for the hateful aliens to do anything that was against the will of heaven and earth. However, Yasdai also had the same instructions. Can we assume that Yasdai himself had some connection with the Dark Eldar, or even been bewitched and corrupted?
These lurkers around Yu Jinwen did not lurk around him later and replace the staff group from the Devouring Star Universe. Instead, there were problems with the Devouring Star Universe from the very beginning. Were these lurkers brought in?
As a member of the imperial guards, Zhang Yulin had a high degree of political sensitivity. He realized immediately that Gu Hang was trying to add fuel to the fire and direct the blame at Lord Yasdegao.
And it seemed as if he wanted to let the imperial guards be the ones to start the fire.
In the past, attempts to use the Imperial Guards to participate in the politics of the empire would be met with strong warnings or even direct attacks from the Imperial Guards. Those who wanted to do so would often end up losing more than they gained.
But in this matter, Zhang Yulin could only agree with Gu Hang's words.
I really don't have enough confidence.
While the two were talking, waves of people came in from outside.
Some high-ranking officials came from the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Inquisition, and later on, even the envoy of Prime Minister Qi Bodu.
What happens here is destined to become the starting point of the recent political storm.
But all these investigations were blocked by the imperial guards.
"The affairs here are under the control of the Imperial Guards. No news can be disclosed."
With a stubborn attitude, they blocked all the inquiries. But those big guys could only hold back in disgrace.
Gu Hang was very satisfied with this situation.
This is exactly the effect he wants.
If you have any problems, don't come to me, go find the Imperial Guards.
However, Gu Hang can ignore others, but he still has to take care of Qi Bodu.
He asked Zhang Yulin if he could leave if there was nothing else. He had to go to the Prime Minister's place and give him an explanation for what happened here.
Zhang Yulin thought about it and did not object, but asked Gu Hang to wait a little longer.
Gu Hang agreed readily without asking what they were waiting for.
I can guess it.
What I just said is my own one-sided statement. Whether it is the Dark Eldar spy or Yu Jinwen, they have now been handed over to the Imperial Guard. They also have quite sufficient and mysterious means to dig out what they want to know.
I have to compare it with what Gu Hang just said.
Even if we take a step back and consider the Imperial Guards, doesn't it have to be ruled out? Is it possible that this whole thing was directed and acted out by Gu Hang behind the scenes?
This kind of investigation would not even be conducted only on the alien spy and Yu Jinwen. After all, some conspiracies do not necessarily have to be carried out in such a direct way, and there are many layers of conspiracy. It is also possible that the people who were directly captured did not know that they were being used.
The Imperial Guards also have enough means and wisdom to distinguish them.
Gu Hang was not worried about this because he had a clear conscience.
Go check it out.
About twenty minutes later, the Golden Shield Captain was called out by his colleagues. After a while, he came back and said to Gu Hang:
"Governor Gu, I'm sorry to have kept you for so long. You can leave now."
The Imperial Guards will even apologize.
