Li Jiang's cold sweat broke out instantly, "My lord, I..."
"Step aside."
"My lord..."
"I told you to step aside!"
"...Yes."
Under Bai Daqing's stern gaze, Li Jiang hung his head and stepped aside.
"Hmph!" Bai Daqing let out a cold snort, then strode toward the gateway, this time Li Jiang didn't dare to stop him.
It's over! Now I'm done for! Li Jiang howled inwardly.
...
Shortly, Bai Daqing arrived at the gateway. He saw a group of women and children kneeling outside, bowing their heads while crying out their grievances.
"All of you, stand up and speak." Bai Daqing said loudly, "I am Bai Daqing, the city master of Chaotic Wind City. Whatever your grievances are, tell me, and I will certainly seek justice for you."
"City Lord, you must seek justice for us." A woman cried out loudly, "My husband's death was too wrongful."
"Please, my lord, seek justice for us." Other women also started crying.
"Don't cry, speak slowly," Bai Daqing said, "One at a time."
