Ji Wanrong, upon learning this news, exclaimed loudly that heaven was protecting them.
She immediately dispatched people to Linjiang City; Governor Yi Zhongcheng had already sent officials to appease the populace.
Yi Zhongcheng handled his tasks, while Ji Wanrong took care of her own affairs.
She incited those wealthy households that had been robbed, encouraging them to bring their tenants and family members to the Southern Capital City to petition.
Officials along the way, as long as they were her people, received orders not to hinder them.
Within just three short days, Linjiang City mobilized over a thousand boats, advancing both on land and water, assembling a crowd of over a hundred thousand people to head to the Southern Capital City.
They gathered outside the city, holding banners, pulling white cloth with the words, "We earnestly request the Governor to eliminate the water bandits and make decisions for the people!"
