They watched the carriage drive away in silence, and then watched it stop in front of the prefectural governor's mansion.
Immediately, everyone's expression changed, and they began spitting in the direction of the carriage.
"Pooh!"
"No wonder they wouldn't give us any food; they're here to see this corrupt official."
Those around him shouted angrily.
"I wonder where these people are from this time. I wonder if they'll be like that prefect of Jizhou, all so fat they can barely walk."
"Their officials colluded, eating the grain of our Qi County, and growing themselves into this fat state, yet in the end they wouldn't even give us a single grain of rice."
The people around them then began to mutter curses under their breath.
Of course, there are also rational people among them.
"Not necessarily. Judging from how big this carriage is, it might be an official sent by Tiandu to investigate. Don't we have quite a few people here who went to Tiandu to file complaints?"
"Oh!"
"How could this be? The entire court is full of scoundrels."
“Look at what our Qi County has become, and look at what the imperial court has done?”
"Even the granaries were emptied by that Prefect Li, yet the imperial court hasn't done anything to punish him?"
"As for those who went to file complaints, they must have died on the way!"
As they spoke, their expressions grew increasingly grim.
Just then, two women slowly stepped out of the carriage.
The woman was beautiful and had a tall, straight figure. She exuded an aura that made people afraid to look directly at her.
Everyone fell silent and watched the two of them quietly.
Then, the two women stretched out their hands.
Soon, a slender hand reached out from the carriage and landed on the woman's hand.
Immediately afterwards, an even more beautiful woman came down.
Upon seeing the woman's face clearly, everyone present gasped in shock.
The woman's beauty was so striking that it instantly illuminated the dilapidated, decaying street.
While everyone was still marveling at the woman's beauty, a child stepped down from the carriage.
There was another child?
Everyone looked surprised and wondered who these people were.
However, just by looking at their demeanor, one can tell that they are no ordinary people.
Why a woman?
"Could this woman be Li Gou's concubine?"
Some people speculated, but this was immediately refuted by others.
"How could someone like Li Kui have a concubine who looks like this?"
"Her concubines were all vixen-like."
"Look at the woman's overall demeanor, how could she possibly be interested in him?"
As soon as this person finished speaking, others immediately retorted.
"This isn't a question of whether or not we like it."
That Li Gou is all-powerful here; even the governor of Jizhou is his relative.
"Look at all the pretty women around us, haven't they all been snatched up by him?"
"Perhaps this woman was also snatched by Li Kui."
"Why."
He sighed as he spoke.
"She even has a child with her, how pitiful."
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed in dismay.
At this moment, the woman was seen leading a group of people about to enter the prefect's mansion.
The guards at the entrance of the prefectural governor's mansion had already been eyeing Gu Jingchun.
Upon seeing Gu Jingchun approaching, they immediately stopped her.
"Young lady, this is not a place you can just walk into."
As he spoke, he squinted and looked Gu Jingchun up and down.
"Although, you are quite good-looking."
"However, even if you want to enter our prefectural governor's mansion, you still have to catch the eye of our prefectural governor."
"You wait here, I'll go and inform them first."
Gu Jingchun looked at the other person's scrutinizing gaze, his eyes filled with disgust.
Before Gu Jingchun could react, Ye Wenxi behind him suddenly drew a long sword from the guard's hand and slit the man's throat.
All of this happened extremely quickly.
Before the person could react, or even before the smile on their lips could fade, they felt a chill on their neck, followed by a warm flow.
He reflexively covered his neck, but it was too late.
Blood gushed down his neck rapidly, and his body collapsed uncontrollably.
Until the very end, his eyes remained open, as if he couldn't believe that he had died like this.
This unexpected turn of events left everyone present stunned and speechless.
The other guards, in particular, were trembling with fear and dared not make any further moves. They could only watch helplessly as Gu Jingchun and his group strode in.
Those who were quick-witted ran out first, intending to inform Prefect Li Kui.
Meanwhile, in the back room...
Li Kui leaned leisurely on the chaise lounge, while several women lay beside him.
They poured him drinks, massaged his shoulders, and one of them was even nestled in his arms.
She is massaging his hands with her own body.
In front of him were several women dressed in light gauze, dancing energetically.
As the women in front of him reached the most exciting part of the dance, Li Kui immediately cheered and exerted force in his arms, which made the woman in his arms cry out.
"ah……"
"My lord, you...you're so annoying!"
As she spoke, she turned back and gave Li Kui a charming look.
His gaze seemed to have hooks, making Li Kui's heart flutter. He didn't care about anything else and immediately used his other hand to pinch the woman's face, forcing her to turn around and look at him.
