Dealing with a person by forming so-called alliances after his death is simply the joke of the world.
"Master Ling has arrived," the crowd cheered.
People started shouting excitedly, and everyone showed a smile on their faces.
The crowds gathered around. Though the Lings had fallen from grace, they still commanded respect locally. It was like how minor officials from the Capital City would often be treated like imperial envoys by local authorities when they visited the provinces.
The Lings, now in decline in the Capital City due to the ruthless suppression by the Duans and the Dings, had fallen from a first-tier family to a third-tier family. However, Ling Zicheng was still very influential in Jiangnan City.
Surrounded by a group of admirers, he was welcomed like a pillar to cling to wherever he went.
