Seeing Zhang Wan in despair and being taken away in a state of embarrassment, and seeing the signboard of the Duke's Mansion being taken down, Gu Zhao felt extremely happy.

In this cold and hypocritical mansion in her previous life, she foolishly surrendered her trust and life, only to be betrayed and deceived in return.

In this life, she finally sent that cold and cruel couple to where they should go.

As for the other people in the Duke's Mansion, their fate was not decided by Gu Zhao. From the moment Lin Weikang planned the rebellion, their fate was doomed, and Gu Zhao could not change it.

What Gu Zhao can do is to screen and check as carefully as possible and reduce the punishment of those who have good conduct and have committed no crimes.

But that's all.

Shen Wei followed Gu Zhao and waited until there was no one else around, then whispered to her, "That eldest son of the Lin family is really stubborn. I had people stop him at the city gate in advance and tell him the matter. He still sneaked into the city."

Gu Zhao thought about it and found that Lin Junting was indeed a one-minded character.

Just like before, he felt that Lin Weikang and his wife wanted her to make up for Lin Xuerong's guilt, so he wanted to make up for her and take care of her. She was so angry that she turned around and did it again.

Otherwise, he would not have been tricked to death by Lin Xuerong in his previous life, and even knowing the danger, he would personally lead the Lin family's private soldiers to kill Lin Xuerong.

Gu Zhao said "Hmm" and walked forward with his hands behind his back, "What next?"

"He is very courageous. He broke in from the back garden and didn't know what he wanted to do. I asked a few brothers to cover him up, otherwise he would have been discovered long ago." Shen Wei replied.

Gu Zhao replied calmly, "It should be because he wanted to save people or reverse the case."

Young people always have all kinds of passionate dreams in their minds, looking forward to the opportunity to turn the tide and hold up the sky with one hand.

"Don't worry about him anymore." Gu Zhao raised his hand to stop Shen Wei from continuing, "The opportunity has been given to him. Since he doesn't take it seriously, forget it."

In her previous life, Lin Junting stood by Lin Xuerong and made trouble for her and humiliated her more than once. In this life, she gave Lin Junting a chance to survive, which was enough to repay him for his previous kindnesses.

If Lin Junting insists on seeking death, she has no way or idea to stop it.

A huge procession passed through the streets, attracting countless people to watch.

The Duke of Liguo's Mansion, the most elite nobleman in Bei'an, had his house confiscated on the first day the new emperor ascended the throne!

Those ladies and beauties who were rarely seen by the common people in the past were all seen walking on the street. They were pointed at by passers-by who were watching the excitement, and they all lowered their heads and covered their faces in embarrassment.

"It looks so pitiful, ugh." Some older women couldn't bear it, especially when they saw the young children crying incessantly.

But these words were quickly rebutted by the people next to them: "Look, they are pitiful. When they were very popular, they looked pitiful on us."

"There's nothing to say about that. My ancestors were so great that they sacrificed their lives to gain this wealth. It's their duty to enjoy it."

"Haha, let's put it this way, don't they deserve what they deserve today? If Duke Li of the State rebels, they will become relatives of the emperor. If they are defeated, they will naturally be beheaded and exiled."

"Bah! Let me tell you, there are not many good people who want to rebel! If there is a fight, don't you know how terrifying those rebels will be?"

This sentence resonated with most people around. As natives of Shangjing City, they were deeply impressed by the wars that Shangjing City had experienced in the past decades.

If Duke Li is really allowed to bring his troops into Shangjing City, and a fight breaks out, no one will care about the lives of ordinary people like them.

"Isn't that right? Our people have only lived a peaceful life for a few days, and Duke Li is about to start a war again. He has no shortage of food and clothing. Can't he be a good official and insist on causing harm to everyone?"

"I heard that he ambushed the late emperor outside the city and killed him, and then he was arrested by the people led by the current emperor. Otherwise, if he really led the troops into the city, we would all be in great misfortune."

"Don't you know, Duke Li is colluding with Donghao spies! If he really rebels, won't those Donghao people come to abuse us again?"

When the Donghao people were mentioned, the attitudes of all the people watching immediately changed.

Shangjing City was the place where Donghao's army massacred the most. Almost every Shangjing resident had a relative die at the hands of the Donghao people. Even decades later, there are still countless stories of Donghao people's cruelty and perversion circulating in Shangjing City.

Emperor Shouzheng was rumored to be compromising with Dong Hao's cession of territory, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many people in Beijing. Baihang went out of business and the commotion became more and more serious, not to mention that Lin Weikang had colluded with Dong Hao's spies and committed treason.

These words spread quickly, and the people on the roadside who were just watching the excitement and sympathetic to the women and children of the Duke of Li suddenly changed their attitude and began to criticize the servants of the Princess of Li who were being escorted.

Some Shangjing residents who had deep hatred against the Donghao people even started throwing rotten vegetable leaves into the middle of the team...

Among the crowd, a young man in bright clothes covered his face, staggered his way out, and got into a remote alley.

He leaned against the dirty and dark corner, put down his hands, and revealed a tear-stained face. He was Lin Junting, the only legitimate son of Duke Li.

All the things he had heard and seen before were rolling through his mind again and again.

"Why is this like this?" What he just knew was too heavy, and Lin Junting's body seemed to be unable to support it, and he slid feebly down the wall covered with moss and exuding a strange smell.
