The entire Capital City erupted in chaos.
The last time the Capital was this bustling was during the re-examination incident at the Imperial Academy's Shanxue Square, and this time it was even more unprecedented.
The commoners went out of their way to pass by the Zhao Mansion and the Xue Residence, spitting disdainfully, those with a little money pulled eggs from their pockets and hurled them swiftly; after throwing, they would quickly leave. Those without money threw rotten turnips, and even the beggars contributed by throwing their dried feces.
The folks in the Capital did what they could, frequently offering incense and praying for blessings, praying to heaven to protect our Emperor, and the temples in the Suburbs of the Capital saw a significant increase in visitors.
The public sentiment was boiling, all demanding that Zhao Zhong, Xue Ping, and others be dealt with.
