Outside the Si Residence, many commoners were gathered from afar, buzzing with discussion.
They couldn't believe that the Si Family, famously known for its benevolence, could actually commit such unforgivable sins.
The servants of the Si family panicked and rushed toward the entrance like mad.
The Imperial Guard warned them repeatedly, but when they did not listen, they were ultimately cut down, their lives ended by the blade.
Liu Jianglong said harshly, "His Majesty has decreed that no one is to leave the Si Residence. Those who defy this will be executed without mercy!"
The remaining people were intimidated, their faces drained of color as they retreated.
When the old master of the Si family came out, he staggered a few steps as he heard this, but the butler quickly supported him, preventing him from falling disgracefully.
He couldn't stop trembling.
