What happened?
The steward cleared his mouth and then bowed deeply.
"Reporting to your master, last night the capital was plastered with notices all over the city at some unknown time."
"The notice criticized the Pei family of Qinghe for turning women into wax figures while they were still alive."
"After that, children and teenagers began selling something called newspapers along the streets and alleys. The content of these newspapers also mentioned that the Pei family made wax from living people."
"Within the brothels, teahouses, and entertainment venues, there is a play called 'A Chinese Ghost Story,' which seems to tell a story of love between a human and a ghost, but in reality, it uses the love between a human and a ghost to satirize the Pei family!"
"Now the common people, students, scholars, merchants, and gentry are all in an uproar! Public opinion is surging!"
"Just now, more than 10,000 people have gathered in front of the palace gates, and some scholars have even beaten the Dengwen Drum to demand that His Majesty severely punish the Pei family!"
"Right now, the area in front of the palace gates is probably completely surrounded!"
As soon as the butler finished speaking, Du Yuheng, who was drinking tea, spat out all the tea.
He jumped right off the chair.
"What...what did you say?"

What terrible things have I done?!
In his mind, he cursed the Pei family ancestors for eighteen generations!
At this moment, countless people gathered in front of the palace gates.
Students dressed in Confucian robes gathered at the very front of the line!
The Dengwen Drum, now covered in vegetation, was being struck with a loud, resounding sound!
On the walls of the imperial palace, countless guards in armor stared at each other nervously.
A team member asked, his body trembling.
"Commander, what should we do now?!"
Shen Congwu, standing to the side, looked utterly desperate!
He was just woken up by his men at Tingzhuxuan.
This is the scene that greeted me as soon as I arrived!
Then, after his subordinate finished explaining the whole story, he realized that...
Shen Congwu felt as if the sky was about to fall!
All of tonight's expenses are recorded at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!
What princess transfer order! What street patrol arrangements have all been made!
Recalling everything that happened last night, Mu Zi'an's smile became even clearer.
Shen Congwu covered his head, slapped the wall in front of him, and said dejectedly.
"We've been tricked!"
