Miss Kou was famous among the students of the Imperial College. People talked about it wherever she went, and it also spread to the ears of Gu Yu, who was immersed in studying.

Gu Yu put down the book, asked for details and ran to find Wen Jiancheng.

"Sir, student Gu Yu wants to go home half a day early and come to ask for leave from you."

When Wen Jiancheng saw Gu Yu, he smiled unconsciously: "Gu Yu, I remember you. How is everything at home now?"

"Mr. Lao is thinking that everything is fine at home. He has moved into a new house and has been given grains for this spring."

"That's good." The smile on Jian Cheng Wen's face deepened, "We have a holiday tomorrow, why do we have to go back half a day early?"

Gu Yu moved her lips.

Seeing his hesitation, Wen Jiancheng was not accommodating: "As you know when you studied in the Imperial College, the Imperial College is strict about asking for leave. I will not grant leave without a reason."

Even so, Wen Jiancheng's tone was gentle, which showed that he had a good impression of Gu Yu, a student.

"Student—" Gu Yu hesitated for a moment and had to say it, "Student wants to save Miss Kou."

Wen Jiancheng was startled.

He never thought that this was the reason why students asked for leave.

As soon as the words were spoken, Gu Yu did not hesitate: "Miss Kou saved the student's family, and also saved our neighbors in Beiloufang. Now that she is in trouble, the student cannot stand idly by."

After listening to Gu Yu's words, Wen Jiancheng's expression became gentler: "Then why were you hesitating just now?"

Gu Yu lowered his eyes and replied: "Because Jin Linwei is involved, students are afraid of Mr.——"

It was difficult to say what he said next, but Wen Jiancheng understood what he meant.

Most of the civil and military officials treated Jinlin Guard like a snake or a scorpion, for fear that he would stop him and not allow him to go.

"Jinlin Guards generally ignore ordinary people, but you are a prison student. If you offend Jinlin Guards, your future career may be affected. Have you thought clearly?" Wen Jiancheng asked seriously.

Gu Yu cupped her hands and said, "Student, you have thought clearly. A drop of water should be repaid by a spring. What's more, Miss Kou is a life-saving grace to the student and a mother-saving grace. If the student only thinks about his own future and is indifferent to the savior who encounters difficulties, What’s the point of studying and becoming an official?”

"Now that you have thought it through, go ahead."

Gu Yu looked stunned: "Mr.——"

"You, a student, have this intention. Do you, sir, want to stop it? Go ahead, but don't be reckless."

"Thank you, sir." Gu Yu bowed deeply to Wen Jincheng.

Looking at the students walking away quickly, Wen Jiancheng's eyes were gentle. When the young figure was out of sight, he raised his feet and went to find Meng Jiji for a drink.

In order to save energy, Gu Yu was rarely willing to take a car and ran home after getting off the car.

At this time, Gu Mu was doing laundry.

"Yu'er, why are you back? Aren't you on holiday tomorrow?" Seeing her son coming back, Gu's mother's first reaction was not happiness, but worry.

My son is devoted to studying and never takes a break even if he feels unwell. There must be something important when he comes back suddenly.

"Something happened to Miss Kou."

Gu Mu immediately put down the clothes she was washing and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with Miss Kou?"

"Jinlinwei suspected that Miss Kou was keeping Mr. Songling under house arrest. They took Miss Kou away yesterday and have not released her yet."

"Jinlinwei?" Gu Mu was a little confused.

For ordinary people like them, most of the officials they can deal with are from the Military and Horse Department, and then the county government. Although Jinlin Guards are often seen on the street, they have little interaction with ordinary people.

"Mom, my son wants to find the neighbors and work together to find a way to rescue Miss Kou." "Let's go." Gu Mu wiped her hands on her apron.

The mother did not hesitate, but Gu Yu did not move: "Mom, if my son offends Jin Linwei, it may affect his future future——"

"You kid, are you really afraid that your future will be affected and you will come back on leave?"

Gu Yu was a little embarrassed: "My son is afraid of letting you down in the future——"

His widowed mother pulled him up and provided for him to study. He vowed countless times to let his mother live a good life in the future.

"Silly boy." Mother Gu couldn't help but touched her son's head.

The little child in the past has now grown into a boy who is half a head taller than her. She needs to raise her hand to touch his head.

Mother Gu's eyes were bright: "My Yu'er has never let mother down. Let's go, mother will go with you."

The mother and son first called together their neighbors who lived nearby and told them the situation.

Gu Yu rushed to the neighbors and said, "This is just the boy's plan. If your uncles and aunts don't participate, you won't force it."

He valued kindness and would not hesitate to pursue a career for it, but it was impossible for him to ask others to think the same way.

Every family has its own difficulties and thoughts.

As soon as Gu Yu finished speaking, a young man spoke up: "Little brother Gu, what are you talking about? Miss Kou is your savior, isn't she our savior? If Miss Kou hadn't given porridge, my wife and children would have been There is no way to escape the collapse of the house. If something happens to the two of them, I won’t be able to survive even if I escape by chance. I don’t care what other people do, I will definitely go with you, little brother Gu."

The young man who spoke was a family of three across from Sumitani's house.

The young woman held the baby in her arms and nodded: "Master, I will go too."

Someone else said: "Our family will go too. Without Miss Kou, how could our family be as tidy as it is now..."

There were also those who hesitated, but were scolded by his mother: "If it weren't for Miss Kou, your mother's old bones would have turned into ashes long ago. Why are you hesitating? Do you want someone to poke the backbone of our family?"

"Mom, if my son is afraid of being caught by the policemen, no one will take care of you——"

The old woman glanced at her son and said, "Mom, I'll go with you. We'll catch him together."

Most people expressed their opinions, and the remaining few who were struggling didn't say either to go or not to go, and followed the others to find the head of the workshop.

The head of the village was hesitant at first, but when he saw the expectant faces of the neighbors, he nodded heavily: "Go, don't let people laugh at us Beiloufang people for having no conscience!"

More and more neighbors from Beiloufang gathered together and headed towards Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.

"What are we going to do? What are we going to do?" Along the way, people kept asking curiously.

"Let's go to Jinlin Guard and ask the officials to release Miss Kou."

Those who got the answer looked at each other.

The people from Beiloufang are so bold, they actually dare to go to the government to ask for help.

"I know Miss Kou. There was an earthquake and snowstorm in the twelfth lunar month last year. If Miss Kou hadn't been giving porridge in Beiloufang, many people would have died!"

"I've also heard of Miss Kou! Not only did Miss Kou save many people in Beiloufang, she also donated 5 taels of silver to the Dingbei disaster area!"

"This Miss Kou is a great philanthropist!"

"How about... let's go see it too?"

"Let's go, let's go. There are so many people. If you don't believe it, the officials will arrest them."

Over at Fusi in Beizhen, Xiao Lengshi was worried that he had to restrain his hands and feet because of the oral order. One of his subordinates hurriedly came to report: "Sir, it's bad, there are many people outside the Yamen!"
